Eventually, every generation faces a great challenge. Then, we must decide what separates us from animals; we must find within ourselves the courage to be men and women, the children of God, and not mere animals. With her post, Loopyloo305 provides a clear statement that we have reached that point. We must decide. The fate of our children, future generations of Americans, rests upon our decision and our courage.
Are you ready? No one ever is. That is why so many pray.
Psalm 24 Today's New International Version (TNIV)
Of David. A psalm.
The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
for he founded it on the seas
and established it on the waters.
Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD?
Who may stand in his holy place?
Those who have clean hands and a pure heart,
who do not put their trust in an idol
or swear by a false god.
They will receive blessing from the LORD
and vindication from God their Savior.
Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face, God of Jacob.
Lift up your heads, you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
the LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is he, this King of glory?
The LORD Almighty—
he is the King of glory.

EUR/USD: "Tweezers" points to a possible bearish correction
There's a "Hammer" at the local low, which has been confirmed enough. However, we've got a "Harami" at the last high, so the market is likely going to test the nearest support line. If we see a pullback from this level, there'll be an opportunity to have a bullish price movement towards the upper "Window". As we can see on the Daily chart, there're a "Harami", a "Hammer" and an "Inverted Hammer" at the local low. Under this circumstances, bulls are likely going to achieve the nearest "Window" in the short term.
The pair has been rising since a "Tweezers" formed at the last low. At the same time, we've got a "Doji", a "Shooting Star" and a "Tweezers" at the local highs, so bears are likely going to test the 21 Moving Average during the day.

Click to enlarge, and debate the strip below the line.
Keith Hackett's verdict
1) This is a grim situation for you to be put in, but you have to be consistent on "outside agents" – even when it means you are effectively penalising an innocent party. So, as is always the case when the ball strikes an outside agent, stop play and restart with a dropped ball. As for the implications of your decision: you need to put your faith in the stadium security staff, and, after the game, in the competition's authorities to react appropriately to what took place. Thanks to Richard Moore.
2) You are not a doctor: you cannot make a decision about whether or not he is faking the injury. So apply the laws: a goalkeeper who is injured during a shoot-out can be replaced by a named substitute, provided the team has not used the maximum number of subs permitted.
Andrew Mayne wins the shirt.
3) Sadly, the two sides are not infringing any laws: passing the ball and losing possession is all part of the game, and passing to each other does not count as time-wasting as the ball is in live play. So, however wrong it feels, let the game come to its conclusion and include everything that happened in your report. This is another one for the competition organisers to consider. Thanks to Andy Riley.

|World Series Game 5: Cubs, Aroldis Chapman hang on to beat Indians, remain alive
|10.30.16 at 11:56 pm ET
The Cubs live to fight another day, and the World Series is heading back to Cleveland.
Behind six strong innings from Jon Lester and the longest save of Aroldis Chapman's career, the Cubs avoided elimination with a 3-2 victory over the Indians in Game 5 of the Fall Classic before a packed house at Wrigley Field.
This one wasn't decided until Chapman struck out Jose Ramirez, who had homered earlier in the game, to complete the eight-out save. The out perfectly bookended his night, which began with a punchout of Ramirez with the tying run on second base.
That made a winner of Lester, who allowed two runs in six innings, striking out five. Lester improved to 4-1 in five career World Series starts.
The Cubs got all of their offense in the fourth against a typically stingy Indians pitching staff. Trailing 1-0 thanks to Ramirez's second-inning homer off of Lester, Kris Bryant led off the fourth with a solo homer to tie it.
Anthony Rizzo doubled, Ben Zobrist singled, and Addison Russell gave the Cubs the lead with an infield single. Old friend David Ross, in perhaps the final game of his career, provided an insurance run with a sacrifice fly. He also threw out Francisco Lindor trying to steal in the sixth after Lindor's RBI single had drawn the Indians within a run.
The Cubs then rode Chapman to the finish, earning their first World Series win at Wrigley since Game 6 in 1945.
|10 biggest Red Sox trade deadline deals since 2000
|07.28.16 at 10:47 am ET
With the trade deadline looming, it's hard not to look back on the Red Sox' deals since the turn of the century.
Two notes on this list: The first is that these are the biggest deals, good or bad, which means yes, a couple 2014 deals will make this list.
The second is that waiver and offseason deals are not included. This includes the blockbuster 2012 deal that sent a quarter of a billion dollars to the Dodgers in the form of Carl Crawford, Adrian Gonzalez and Josh Beckett.
With all that in mind, here are the Red Sox' 10 biggest pre-deadline deals since 2000:
10. David Murphy (and others) for Eric Gagne, 2007
The Red Sox already had a solid bullpen anchored by Jonathan Papelbon, but Boston felt the need to add another reliever to make a strong playoff push.
David Murphy, Engel Beltre and Kason Gabbard was a high price at the time for a once-dominant reliever in the twilight of his career, and Gagne turned out to not be worth it, as he posted an awful 6.75 ERA over 20 appearances down the stretch.
Gagne continued to struggle as fall arrived, most notably blowing Game 2 of the ALCS against the Indians. He did pitch one scoreless inning in the World Series and came away with a ring, but it was not enough to overshadow his disastrous time in Boston.
Compared to what Murphy, touted as one of the Sox' best prospects at the time, gave Texas for seven years (a solid .777 OPS), Gagne was one of the biggest busts in recent Red Sox memory.
9. Andrew Miller for Eduardo Rodriguez, 2014
The 2014 trade season will be remembered as a horrible one for the Red Sox, but this deal was one most Boston fans were thrilled with at the time.
The Red Sox decided that since Miller, one of Boston's top relievers, was at the end of his contract, they would see what they could get and turned to the Orioles. Rodriguez, touted as one of Baltimore's top prospects, looked like a great return.
Rodriguez would work his way up through Portland and Pawtucket to the majors, and pitched a solid 2015 campaign for the Red Sox. Currently, he has yet to return to that form, but at 23 years old, he still has time to develop into a solid rotation pitcher.
Miller, meanwhile, pitched extremely well for Baltimore after this deal, but at the end of the season was scooped up by the Yankees.
|Cancer survivor Jon Lester reaches out to former manager John Farrell: 'He's in good hands'
|08.15.15 at 1:28 am ET
If there's anyone who has somewhat of an idea of what manager John Farrell is going through, it's Cubs pitcher Jon Lester.
Lester was diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma in August of 2006, while Farrell revealed Friday he has stage 1 lymphoma.
"I talked to him a little bit already," Lester said to reporters in Chicago. "It was good. He seems pretty positive. Everything seems pretty positive, so that's good."
The former Red Sox pitcher was treated in Boston just under 10 years ago, so he has a good idea of the doctors and what treatment may be like.
"He's in a good place for it," Lester said of the medical care he will receive both from the Red Sox and at Mass General. "Obviously, it's one of the better places, if not the best place in the country to be [to get treatment] if you do have cancer. He's in good hands. I know those doctors pretty well. It seems like he's doing well."
Lester said it's nothing you can prepare for.
"It's one of those things you have to just ride out," he said. "You have to do what the doctors tell you to do. I don't know the details of what he'll be going through or anything like that. I don't know the type. I just know it's lymphoma — it can be a million different things. It sounded pretty curable, it sounded pretty positive from what I read and what I saw. That's the most important thing. I don't think you can ever prepare for a situation like that. You just have to kind of grind through it."
Farrell was Lester's pitching coach before being his manager for two years and Lester is joining the entire Red Sox organization and baseball world in believing Farrell will get through it.
"I don't really think you give John too much advice," Lester said. "If you know John, he's pretty strong-willed. I would imagine he'll be fine. I'm sure it's a little bit of a blow for his family. I'm sure he'll be fine through this whole process."
Great win today but heavy hearted after learning about John Farrell. Thoughts and prayers going out to the Farrell fam. You got this buddy!

|Former Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester records first career hit with Cubs
|07.06.15 at 10:11 pm ET
Jon Lester lost two no-hit bids on Monday night against the Cardinals, and one of them has been a long time coming.
In the second inning against former teammate John Lackey, Lester lined an infield single off of Lackey's shin, legging out the first hit of his career.
Lester had started his career 0-for-66 (with another 0-for-5 in the World Series) before he finally ended his record run of futility. It was the longest hitless streak to start a career in big league history.
Lester had another no-hit bid end in the seventh when Jhonny Peralta lined a single off the glove of third baseman Kris Bryant with one out. A Bryant error extended the inning, and the Cardinals went on to score two runs to take a 2-0 lead in support of Lackey.
Win or lose, at least Lester doesn't have to worry about getting that first hit anymore.
|Red Sox pitching coach Juan Nieves: Don't worry about Jon Lester throwing over
|04.10.15 at 11:32 am ET
NEW YORK — It took just one start for the panic to set in at Wrigley Field.
Jon Lester doesn't make pickoff throws! In fact, he has now gone 66 straight games without attempting a throw to first, with the last one coming all the way back on April 30, 2013.
The reason for the sudden attention to Lester's approach with runners on base was due to the usually station-to-station Cardinals attempting four steals off the lefty in his first start as a Cub.
For those who lived through the reality of Lester's approach with the Red Sox, the conversation seems much to do about nothing.
"It's not a big deal," said Red Sox pitching coach Juan Nieves. "First of all, he's a guy who changes patterns and times to the plate. A lot of guys never ran on him because how quick he is to the plate.
"I know we practiced a lot in spring training, but he decided to vary his holds and focus on his pitching. I thought he managed that correctly."
Nieves served as Lester's pitching coach for 59 regular and postseason starts, during which time the starter went 29-16 with a 3.11 ERA. In that span the pitcher saw baserunners succeed in stealing 22 of 29 times. It was 31 fewer attempts than John Lackey endured in the same time period, and the same as Felix Doubront (who allowed two more successful steals).
|Buster Olney on MFB: Dustin Pedroia's power biggest takeaway from Opening Day
|04.08.15 at 11:58 am ET
ESPN's Buster Olney made his weekly appearance on with Middays with MFB on Wednesday to talk about the Red Sox after their impressive start to the season. To hear the interview, go to the MFB audio on demand page.
The Sox opened the season with an 8-0 victory over the Phillies, hitting five home runs — two each from Dustin Pedroia and Hanley Ramirez.
"The fact that Pedroia hit for power to me was the thing that jumped out," Olney said. "Because I know all of last year — and look, nobody engenders more respect around baseball than Dustin Pedroia does, and people love the way he plays, but I heard it from a lot of people, whether it was scouts or other players, they wondered if Dustin was ever going to get back to being able to hit for any kind of power, because he's had so many nagging injuries — wrist, hands, the whole thing — and that was a great sign on the first day that he was able to do something.
"When you're playing the Phillies right now it is a little bit Christians and the lions situation because they are really bad. But that's a great start for them."
The much-maligned Clay Buchholz pitched like a No. 1, allowing no runs and just three hits through seven innings.
"We've seen it in the past, he's certainly capable of pitching really well," Olney said. "And you're right, it's a good sign, it doesn't matter who you're facing. You can only compete against the guys who are in front of you. … Everything that I saw, he looked in command. Most of the time you liked the tempo, which I always thought was a barometer when you watch Buchholz is how quickly is he working between pitches. The faster he works, the better it seems he is; the slower he works, the more uncertain he seems to be. The other day he seemed like he was very comfortable.
"It's a great first sign from a team that needs, let's face it, contributions from all ends of their rotation."
|SI's Tom Verducci on MFB: Red Sox 'the best team in a very weak division'
|04.06.15 at 1:07 pm ET
Sports Illustrated's Tom Verducci checked in with Middays with MFB on Monday to talk about the Red Sox and other news from around the majors. To hear the interview, go to the MFB audio on demand page.
Verducci is predicting the Red Sox to win the American League East, but he didn't voice very much confidence in them.
"I do think the Red Sox are the best team in a very weak division," he said. "It could be 90 wins or maybe even less to win this division. You could make a case for any team to finish first — and maybe even last. … But to me the Red Sox are a team that has the best offense in all of Major League Baseball. And I think their pitching is just good enough to be the best in a weak division."
There's been speculation that the Red Sox will go after a premier pitcher sooner rather than later, but Verducci said that might not be as crucial as some people think.
"I'm not a real big believer in that," he said. "I know a lot has been focused on the fact that the Red Sox don't have an ace. The team that won the division last year with 94 wins didn't have an ace — the Baltimore Orioles. I just think the way the game is played now is entirely different than what it was 10 or 20 years ago.
"Listen, in a perfect world I'd rather have the Nationals rotation than anybody else in baseball — I'd want five aces. There's just not enough of those pitchers to go around. But with a dynamic offense, I think they have a premier defense, I think their defense could be one of the top three in the American League.
"To me, actually, the key is going to be the bullpen. Whether they have the right pieces now, whether they make changes during the course of the season. I think you can win with basically average starting pitching as long as you have a great offense, really good defense — which they have — and a really good bullpen. And I think the key is actually figuring out how they use their bullpen and what the construct is of that bullpen."
|Curt Schilling on D&C: 'You don't have to have an ace to win'
|02.25.15 at 10:24 am ET
Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling joined Dennis & Callahan on Wednesday morning to talk about the American League East, pitching, the Red Sox and more. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
As it usually is in February, but more this year than others for Schilling, it's tough to judge how good the American League East will be. There are question marks around many of the teams in the division, and different aspects of different clubs put them in position to fight for the first spot in the division or end up at the bottom.
"I don't know that it's terrible," the ESPN analyst said. "The team that, to me, that could win by 15 games and I wouldn't be shocked is Toronto.
"If you look around the division," Schilling continued,"in Baltimore, they have by far one of the division's best game managers and a roster that's talented, but there are more talented rosters. I think if you look at Boston, you have a guy who's a great communicator, probably not even, I don't think anybody is the game manager that Buck Showalter is, and a very talented roster, but again, it's February and there has never been a year for me more so than this year where they're saying, 'Hey, I want to see where they are at the end of camp.'"
Though the Red Sox have added some offense to the lineup, Schilling isn't as enamored with the additions as some have been.
"I think it makes their lineup deeper," he said. "As long as they're healthy and David [Ortiz] is David and Pedey [Dustin Pedroia] is back. I don't know, and maybe it's personal, I never get overly emotional about offensive signings just because you can score as many runs as you want, but if you can't stop them from scoring it doesn't matter."
|Morning Fort: Dustin Pedroia arrives healthy, proclaims 'everyone's fired up and ready to go'
|02.21.15 at 9:52 am ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Dustin Pedroia has had enough of hand surgeries. He's also had enough of last place finishes.
He and the Red Sox have proven the ability to overcome both over the last two seasons. He's hoping to repeat the comeback story again in 2015.
Last September, Pedroia had season-ending surgery on his left wrist to relieve tendon pressure and remove scar tissue buildup. In Nov. 2013, after helping the Red Sox to a World Series title, the second baseman had UCL surgery on his left thumb. Pedroia suffered an initial thumb injury on a head-first slide into first base on opening day at Yankee Stadium in 2013. In last year's home opener against the Brewers, Pedroia slid head-first into second base and re-injured the hand.
Pedroia said Saturday morning upon arriving at JetBlue Park that he's all set and ready to go, with no restrictions.
"Yeah, I feel great," Pedroia said. "I'm ready to go. I'm excited. It's fun. Getting back to work. It's a new year. Everyone's excited so it should be fun."
As for his offseason?
"Lifted weights. Got ready, man," Pedroia said. "Same as every other offseason except the last couple I've had to deal with surgeries and stuff. I got this one done quick so I was able to have a normal offseason of lifting weights and conditioning and all that stuff. I'm ready to go."
As for his team, Pedroia is well aware of the worst-to-first-to-worst trend from 2012 through 2014. Now, with a rebuilt starting rotation and the additions of Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez, there are great expectations again after a 71-91 finish last year. And Pedroia shares that optimism.
"Yeah, we've obviously done it before. But you have to take it one day [at a time]. We have to worry about today's practice and go out there and try to get better today," Pedroia said. "You can't look at the big picture. If you do the right things every day, at the end you'll be where you're at.
"We made a lot of great moves. Obviously, we have a very talented group. It's our job to form it together and play together. Everyone's excited and ready to play baseball. It was kind of a long winter. Everyone's fired up and ready to go." Read the rest of this entry »
|A look at how Red Sox starting rotation took shape (and why it doesn't include Max Scherzer, James Shields)
|02.16.15 at 11:36 pm ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. — The entire Red Sox starting rotation — Clay Buchholz, Justin Masterson, Rick Porcello, Wade Miley and Joe Kelly — walked out to the back fields at Fenway South Monday, ready to partake in another day of drills and throwing.
It is still five days before the official reporting date for pitchers and catchers, and the entire group has already been roaming the JetBlue Park fields in their Red Sox garb for at least a few days.
Cole Hamels rumors or not, this potentially ace-less collection has already dug in on believing they are all the Red Sox need.
"Of course you want to ride with the group we have," Kelly said. "I don't know if anybody has paid any attention to that. I think everybody's so new here our minds are focused on coming in here, focusing in on spring training and having a good year. But pitching is pitching and we'll see how it shapes up for all five of us. … If everybody had their career year, we would be unstoppable."
Unless the Phillies' price drops, the Red Sox are also dug in on this bunch. So, how did they arrive at such a rotation?
According to major league sources, here are some particulars about the Red Sox' approach to picking these pieces:
— The Red Sox did have interest in free agent Max Scherzer, actually valuing him as much as Jon Lester. But after numerous discussions with Scherzer's agent, Scott Boras, it became clear the righty's price tag was going to be too big for the Red Sox' to swallow.
According to one source, at no point during the offseason did Boras hint that he was concerned Scherzer wouldn't get his money, potentially leading to a more palatable reduced rate. In the end, the former Tigers hurler inked a seven-year, $210 million deal with the Nationals.
— The Red Sox did meet with free agent James Shields at the winter meetings, but never identified the starter as a great fit. It was determined by the organization that pitching home games at Fenway Park might not be the best avenue for Shields, who carries a career record of 2-9 with a 5.42 ERA. The money Shields ultimately got with the Padres — four years, $75 million with a fifth year club option for $16 million — was in the vicinity of the Red Sox anticipated.

Comic to curator: Steve Martin behind Boston art museum exhibit
By Scott Malone
BOSTON (Reuters) - Comedian, writer, producer and musician Steve Martin can add another line to his resume: art museum curator.
The 70-year-old actor, who rose to fame on "Saturday Night Live" and starred in films including "The Jerk" and "Father of the Bride," makes his curatorial debut in Boston this weekend, with an exhibition of Canadian landscapes by painter Lawren Harris.
The collection at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts focuses on stark, slightly abstracted paintings of the Rocky Mountains and the shores of Lake Superior completed from 1921 through 1934 by Harris, who is well known in Canada but less familiar to U.S. art lovers.
Martin joked that when he first saw a Harris painting, he mistook it for the work of American landscape artist Rockwell Kent, a contemporary of Harris', who lived from 1885 through 1970.
"I thought that this was the best Rockwell Kent I've ever seen and I looked and it was Lawren Harris," the white-haired actor recalled on a tour of the gallery on Friday. "And I thought, 20 years ago, 'Oh, I've discovered somebody,' not knowing that he was already Canada's most important artist at that time."
The exhibit, "The Idea of North: The Paintings of Lawren Harris," features 30 modernist landscapes by the Canadian painter, alongside similar work by U.S. artists including Georgia O'Keefe and will be on display through June 12.
Martin, who has won an honorary Academy Award for his long film career as well as several Grammy Awards for his bluegrass and Americana albums, said that when he was first asked to curate the exhibit, he refused.
"My first instinct was, 'Of course not.' And I thought about it overnight and I thought, 'You know, that's an interesting proposition,'" he said. "He's the only artist I could conceive of curating because his masterpieces, all in Canada, are known, they're unknown in America and I happen to have a love of him." Continued...

Thousands of years ago, the Giants fought epic battles in Skylands but were banished to Earth. With a new threat looming, it's time to bring them back to join forces with the Skylanders to defeat Kaos once again. Only you can put them on the Portal of Power to unleash their strength in the ultimate battle to save Skylands.
Most of the dolphins of Bottlenose Bay spent their days playing in the waves. However Flip Wreck was different. Always the adventurous one, he took it upon himself to be a self-appointed protector of his undersea world. One day, while exploring an underwater graveyard of shipwrecks, he came across a massive Ice Viking ship that was still intact. Suddenly, a huge crew of Ice Vikings burst out from inside and began leading an attack on the unarmed dolphin residents. Flip Wreck took off at once and quickly fastened together armor, shield, and sword using pieces from the nearby wrecks. He then single-handedly defeated the Ice Vikings, who retreated never to be seen again. For his heroic actions, Flip Wreck was made a Skylander and now turns the tide against evil in Skylands!

I tremble at the might of Super Mario. LOL
Seriously, it has to be so frustrating to have your fate decided by your betters. Poor Keeler, and by implication yourself, has to be content with crumbs from the table. Real success is the ability to decide your own fate, to own your own stations. As Mark demonstrated, why stick with a loser grubbing for roots in the dirt when you can join the winning team?

Don't get mad just because the folks in the big house won't throw you some table scraps. Grub, grub, grub, little piggy! You can snort and squeal all you want, but you're still wallowing down there in the mud trying to eke out a living.

The time has finally come for matches. No more talk and premature power rankings, it is time for the teams to battle it out on the field starting this Saturday as the NASL Spring Season opens up with a game starting at 3 PM. Here is a look at the non-Cosmos NASL games from Week 1.
Carolina Railhawks vs Minnesota United – Wake Med Soccer Park
This is a very strong way to start off the season as two of the more solid sides will do battle out of the gate. Minnesota is going to be interesting to watch as last year they had the Golden Boot runner up in Christian Ramirez and they solidified that attack by adding the actual Golden Boot winner, Stefano Pinho. Goals will not be tough to come by with this team as they also added speedster Lance Laing to an already talented midfield as well. Justin Davis and Kevin Vengas are very strong fullbacks that will also add to the attack however defending will be a question for this team. They will rely on just outscoring opponents early and often.
However, Carolina had a solid off season as they retained Naz Albadawi and Austin Da Luz for the wings. They also added a solid holding midfielder in James Marcelin which should help the Railhawks defensivly. That will be huge as the Carolina gave up 49 goals last season which was tied for the league-worst. They also added solid NASL depth in Drew Beckie (2015 Ottawa Fury player), Simon Mensing (2015 Atlanta Silverbacks player) and Kareem Moses (2015 FC Edmonton player).
Should be a fun game to start the season.
Ft, Lauderdale Strikers vs Miami FC – Lockhart Stadium
After that game, you take a breather and get ready for the first South Florida Derby in league history as the new Miami FC, headed by Alessandro Nesta, head over to visit the revamped Ft Lauderdale Strikers.
There is no way to really know what to expect from either of these teams as Miami is an expansion side and will be playing its first league game as a team and the Strikers are a completely revamped team from last season.
in Miami you have some names common to NASL up front in Pablo Campos and Jaime Chavez and they made an international splash in signing Wilson Palacios from Stoke City to man the midfield. The back line, like the front, will see some NASL experience with names like Masson Trafford and Brad Rusin, however, the roster is then filled with a lot of players who we need to see play before understanding their impact. A number of Brazilian and a couple of Cuban players make the expansion team very intriguing.
The Strikers also have an incredible Brazilian presence as they have a large amount of players and coaches coming from the soccer-mad nation. The team though improved a number of ways this off-season and could be very dangerous. They added a very exciting player in Adrianinho and he will complement PC who was one of the best players in NASL last year. (Cosmos fans will remember his goal against us in the semi-final in Brooklyn). The Strikers are really starting to turn things around both on and off the field as their ownership enters year two.
Tampa Bay Rowdies vs Indy Eleven – Al Lang Stadium
After just missing out on the playoffs last year, the Rowdies added some names to make sure they are playing in November this year. They added ex-number 1 MLS Superdraft pick Danny Mwanga to the roster as well as Ottawa Fury star forward Tom Heinemann. This should improve the goal-scoring for the Rowdies as last year they finished last in that department. In the midfield, they added Kalif Alhassan from Minnesota and Junior Burgos from Atlanta. They might not be done yet as there are rumors swirling they are trying to obtain English midfielder Joe Cole. This team is ready to get to the next level in 2016 and if they can find way to get better results on the road, they will get there.
As for Indy, the question remains if they will get things right on the field. While they draw great crowds and the community is completely behind the team, on the field has been a different story as they have struggled to get out of the bottom levels of the table. Things seem to not be getting much better as coach Hankinson had a bit of an outburst recently regarding the players' ambitions. Indy is a fun story but on the field they need to match what they have been able to do off the field.
Rayo OKC vs FC Edmonton – Miller Stadium
The second expansion team opens its season this Saturday but they do so at their home stadium. Rayo OKC will take the field for the first time in a league game against FC Edmonton.
A lot of questions were raised when Rayo OKC was announced. Many asked how a team who was fighting relegation in their home league would be able to run a club in North America. In fact, recently on our podcast, we had General Manager Eric Newendorp on and he stated he really does not know what will happen if Rayo Vallacano get relegated. That being said, the front office have made some splashes and put together a very exciting attack featuring Ghana national team star Derek Boateng, San Antonio Scorpions' most exciting player in Billy Forbes, ex-US national team forward Robbie Findley and finally, ex-Celtic and Greek national team star Georgios Samaras. There is no doubt that this team is putting money behind the operation. The back line will consist of NASL experience, as well. You just do not know what you are going to get from an expansion side but as the off season came along, they proved to be the stronger of the two expansion sides on paper.
The Eddies will be back trying to get into the post season as they were in the mix until the final weeks in 2015. Coach Colin Miller is very excited about this team, calling it the most exciting team they have assembled.
The team added some quality players in Nik Ledgerwood and Adam Eckersley. They also signed Jake Keegan from Galway United, who actually is from New York and went to school in Binghamton.
Edmonton also prides itself on the youth academy and they should be seeing some of the benefits of that this season as well. Consistency will be key as the Eddies continue to fight the travel distances and time zone battle as the westernmost team in NASL.
What's not to like? Nearly every team in the league has made strides to build stronger line-ups than last year. Indy, hampered by poor performances and injuries may be the sole exception, as evidenced by their roster moves last evening.
Edmonton will look to move on from the loss of Lance Laing after a promising preseason start in Scotland. Can they do it? Too early to tell, but it'll be fun to watch.
Rayo has been the surprise of expansion clubs. With all eyes initially on Miami, Rayo came flying in with some powerful signings. I have to wonder how this club holds up if Vallecano can't stay in La Liga. Apparently, their FO does, as well. Listen to our interview with their GM. It was pretty surprising.
Ah, the Rowdies. From a showing that just missed out on the spring title to a downward spiral out of the postseason, they have spent this offseason buiking up their roster and then testing it in England and at the Suncoast Invitational. They will look to avoid the errors of 2015, a "one-year plan" gone awry.
Indy Eleven – ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Strikers may have made it to the semis last year, but what a joke they were off the field. Nobody's laughing in 2016. A preseason trip to China and some serious preseason tests, coupled with an effective re-tooling of the roster and a true commitment to the brand by the ownership. They're going down the right road. Now, they need to capitalize in Game 1.
Miami FC – I'm somewhat confused. Some really good signings, and then other players who've never played pro, others who were in lower leagues and brought up for this, Cuban MNT players. The odds are against them in Game 1.
Carolina has worked on repairing their Swiss cheese defense and now maybe, just maybe, Akira Fitzgerald can look like the quality keeper he is. Too bad their first test is against United.
Minnesota. This is their last chance for another Bowl this season. Got to start it off strong and they have plenty of offensive firepower. Certainly enough to put away Carolina. But, will they do it? Or will they blow the 1-0 lead to draw?
Lots to look forward to this weekend.

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] The invention relates generally to the semiconductor power devices. More particularly, this invention relates to an improved and novel manufacturing process and device configuration for providing the MOSFET device with shielded trench gates with cells provided with Schottky source contact for improving performance of high frequency power switching, H-bridge and synchronization rectification applications.
[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0005] As the applications of Schottky diodes become more widespread, particularly for reducing the power consumption and increasing the switching speed, it becomes even more important to improve the device configuration and manufacturing processes to reduce the production costs of the Schottky rectifying devices. One particular important consideration is the reduction of the surface areas on the semiconductor substrate occupied by the Schottky diodes. Reduction of the surface-area utilization of the Schottky diodes provides a key to reduce the manufacturing costs and to further miniaturize the size and shape of electronic devices for achieving portability and functionality enhancements. However, in order to achieve the purpose of surface utilization while maintaining current conducting areas, the'Schottky diodes are sometimes implemented by filling trenches with a barrier material. The trench Schottky diode configuration leads to another technical difficulty due to the performance limitations including the required high forward voltage
[0006] VF, the low sustainable breakdown voltage BV, and the high leakage current Idss. These performance limitations often cause difficulties in applying the junction barrier Schottky (JBS) for broader and more variety of applications.
[0007] The Schottky diode has been used to replace PN diodes in many applications. The low forward drop of the Schottky diode in the forward conduction mode reduces the power dissipation of the device. The conduction of the Schottky is through majority carrier, so minority carrier charge storage effects do not occur in the switching characteristics of the device. Therefore the Schottky diode is a preferred over the PN junction diodes in many power applications. FIG. 1A shows a typical Schottky diode where a Schottky barrier metal is contacted to an n-type silicon. The P+ junctions are placed at the edge of the barrier metal contact areas to eliminate the premature breakdown of the device. The forward voltage of the diode is directly proportional to the Schottky barrier height of the metal. It is then desirable to use low Schottky barrier metal to make the diode in order to reduce the conduction loss of the diode. However, the leakage current of the Schottky in the reverse blocking mode is also determined by the Schottky barrier height. Low Schottky barrier height will give rise to higher leakage current in the reverse blocking operation of the diode.
[0008] In order to reduce the reverse leakage of the Schottky diode, P-type junctions are placed in the silicon as shown in FIG. 1B. In the reverse blocking mode, the n-silicon is at a higher potential with respect to the Schottky barrier metal. The PN junction is also reverse bias. The depletions from two adjacent p-type junctions merged and shield the surface Schottky barrier from the high reverse voltage thus reduce the leakage current of the diode. The disadvantage of the JBS is the reduced Schottky surface area from the p-type junctions. For higher breakdown voltage Schottky diode, deeper p-type junction is usually required. Deeper junction also has more lateral diffusion. The Schottky area utilization could be quite low for the high breakdown voltage JBS. An alternative way to shield the Schottky barrier from the reverse voltage is the Trench MOS Barrier Schottky as shown in FIG. 1C. With the trench Schottky barrier, the depletions from surrounding the lower portions of the trenches pinch off and shield the Schottky barrier junction on top the mesa. The shape of the trenches affects the breakdown of the dielectric in the trenches. Rounding the bottom and top corners are required to reduce the leakage of the TMBS. The rounding of the sharp corners requires extra process steps and specialized equipment and all these requirements cause an increase in the production costs.
[0009] Therefore, a need still exists in the art of implementing the Schottky diodes in the electronic device including the power semiconductor devices to provide new device configuration and manufacturing method in configuring and manufacturing the Schottky diodes to overcome and resolve the above discussed problems and limitations.
[0010] It is therefore an aspect of the present invention to provide a new and improved Schottky diode with the junction barrier metal deposited in the trenches with dopant region disposed below the trenches that has a grading dopant profiles by carrying out a tapered dopant implant for improving the JBS performance such that the above discussed limitations and difficulties of the convention Schottky is resolved.
[0011] Another aspect of this invention is to provide new and improved Schottky device configuration with the JBS disposed in the trenches with dopant islands formed at a distance from the trench bottom and having an optimize spacing between the dopant islands such that the forward voltage may be reduced, the breakdown voltage can be increased while the leakage current Idss can also be reduced.
[0012] These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will no doubt become obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art after having read the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment, which is illustrated in the various drawing figures.
[0013] FIGS. 1A to 1C are cross sectional views of Schottky diodes disclosed in prior art disclosures.
[0014] FIG. 2A and 2B are cross sectional views of Schottky diodes with P+ floating islands of this invention.
[0015] FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view of a Schottky diodes with P+ regions along the depth of trench of this invention
[0016] FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view of a Schottky diodes with trench side wall dielectric layer of this invention.
[0017] FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view of a Schottky diodes with Schottky junction forming at the trench bottom of this invention.
[0018] FIG. 6 is a cross sectional view of a planar Schottky diodes of this invention.
[0019] FIGS. 7A to 7D are a serial cross sectional views for describing the manufacturing processes to manufacture a Schottky device of FIG. 2A.
[0020] Referring to FIG. 2A for a cross sectional view of a Schottky diode 100 of this invention. The Schottky diode 100 is supported and formed in a semiconductor substrate, e.g., an N-doped silicon substrate 105. The Schottky diode 100 includes a plurality of trenches forming a plurality of semiconductor mesas. In the preferred embodiment as shown in FIG. 2 the trenches are filled with Schottky barrier metal, e.g., Ti/TiN or Tungsten metal 110, or a contact metal overlaying a Schottky barrier metal. In another preferred embodiment (not shown), at least a portion of vertical surface of semiconductor mesas is lined with Schottky barrier metal. For the purpose of preventing leakage current generated by the reverse voltage, P-dopant regions 140 are formed surrounding the bottom of the trenches. A floating P-island 150 is disposed underneath the trench bottoms. In reverse bias, the floating P island 150 forms an extra PN junction with substrate in addition to the PN junction formed between P dopant regions 140 and N substrate, the reveres bias is therefore distributed over two junctions instead of one junction as in the prior arts and the device reversed bias breakdown voltage hence increases. FIG. 2B shows an embodiment wherein pluralities of floating P islands are disposed underneath the trench bottoms thereby forming a number of extra PN junctions to divide up the total reverse bias, the breakdown voltage is therefore further increased.
[0021] FIG. 3 is the cross sectional view of another embodiment of current invention. The device 300 as shown in FIG. 3 comprises a plurality of deep trenches 170 filled with Schottky barrier metal 110. In addition to the P dopant regions 140 and floating P islands 150, the device in FIG. 3 also comprises a plurality of P regions 120 surrounding the trenches along the depth of the trenches and a top P dopant region 130 surrounding the top portion of the trenches for preventing the reverse leakage current.
[0022] The device 400 as shown in FIG. 4 is similar to device 200 as shown in FIG. 2 except that, in device 400 a dialectical layer 160 is formed along the sidewall of trenches therefore no trench sidewall Schottky contact is formed. Alternatively the trench may fill with conducive material such as doped poly silicon instead of Schottky bather metal to electrically connect the P doped region 140 to Schottky contact layer 110.
[0023] FIG. 5 is the cross sectional view of another embodiment 500 of current invention. The device 500 as shown in FIG. 5 comprises a plurality of shallow trenches filled with Schottky barrier metal 110. The trenches are etched through a P+ dopant layer 145 overlaying N layer 105. The trench corner is rounded to avoid sharp corner effect as Schottky junctions are formed at the trench bottom and around the corner. An optional dielectric layer 160 may be formed over the P+ layer 145 therefore P+ layer 145 only contacts with Schottky metal 110 at the edge of trench. A plurality of P+ floating islands formed under the P+ layer 145 to increase the reverse bias breakdown voltage.
[0024] FIG. 6 is the cross sectional view of another embodiment 600 of current invention. The device 600 is a planar device. In addition to the P+ regions 146 formed on top of substrate in contact with Schottky junction barrier metal 110, the device further comprises a plurality of P+ floating islands under each surface P+ region 146 to enhance reverse breakdown voltage.
[0025] FIGS. 7A-7D are the cross sectional views of process of making a device 100 as shown in FIG. 2A. In FIG. 7A the process starts with an N type Epi wafer with an N+ substrate 701 in the bottom and a N- Epi layer 705 on the top. In one embodiment the N dopant concentration in Epi layer 705 is adjusted to around 1E16 /cm3 for a 30V device (breakdown) device. An oxide layer 725 may be formed on top of Epi layer 705 and a mask 727 is applied to etch off a portion of oxide layer 725. In FIG. 7B trenches 715 are etched through the mask 727 into the Epi layer to a predetermined depth followed by a high energy P type implant to form P+ regions 750. Multiple P+ floating islands 750 at deferent depth may be formed by multiple implantations of Boron ions with dosages ranging from 1E11 to 1E16 at energy level from 60 KeV to 1000 KeV. In one embodiment, the Boron ions with a dosage of 5E11 is implanted at the energy level of 300 KeV to form a P+ region 750 about 0.85 m under the trench bottom. In FIG. 7C a lower energy implant is carried out to form the P+ region 740. In one embodiment BF2 ions are implanted with an ion implanting energy of 60 KeV. This step may be accomplished at the same time the contact implant is carried in the case when the Schottky device is integrated with other functional circuit, such as a vertical DMOS. The oxide layer 725 is then removed. In FIG. 7D, Schottky barrier metal such as Ti/TiN or Tungsten is deposit to form the anode electrode. Alternatively a silicidation process may be carried out after the deposition of a thin layer of Schottky barrier metal followed by the deposition of a thick contact metal layer. The process is completed with a step of depositing a cathode electrode on the bottom surface of the substrate 701.
[0026] Although the present invention has been described in terms of the presently preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that such disclosure is not to be interpreted as limiting. Various alterations and modifications will no doubt become apparent to those skilled in the art after reading the above disclosure. Accordingly, it is intended that the appended claims be interpreted as covering all alterations and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

For a moment, Eleanor just looked down the stairwell, trying to hear or see anything that could be lurking in the dark, waiting for her to make her first mistake. A lesson she learned from watching father fight his way through Rapture, every turn bringing only more resistance. She only wished that she were as brave, or as determined as he had been, walking into the unknown. But as she cringed with every noisy step taken, she found herself slowly making the decent into what could very possibly be a trap.
She kept her breathing even, her heart rate down, and tried her best to be ready for anything. As the light continued to fade, she brought forth a trickle of Adam and let it loose as wicked red flames that jumped from her palm and lit up her entire immediate area. The soft steps of Tenenbaum were more easily heard on the metal stairs than above, and it was fairly easy for her to tell that Tenenbaum wasn't more than five steps behind. This time, she was taking no chances on missing whatever happens.
Once the duo hit the bottom, they stayed relatively close; mostly for the reason that Tenenbaum could only see what the fire cast its unnatural, flickering glow over.
"Help me open this box, " Tenenbaum instructed, one hand resting on the top of a crate with a bowed lid that had certainly seen better days.
Eleanor, holding her right hand above her head so that they could both see what they were doing, tried to grasp the lid with little luck. The wood simply disintegrated under her fingers. Tenenbaum, to her left, circled around the crate to her right. "Use your syringe as a crowbar, " she instructed once again. "Just be careful not to stick it in too far and risk hitting whatever is inside. It may suck things into the vial on your arm, but that vial connects directly into your bloodstream. There could be dish soap in here, but that would still be lethal."
Stating her willingness and her understanding with a nod, Eleanor tried to position the needle between the lid and the container. After many awkward positions that offered her no leverage at all, she finally ripped the nails out of the rotting wood, allowing the lid to slide backwards and clatter to the floor.
They both stood stock still for a moment, listening for any movement before peeking inside. The light reflected off of something in the crate, which Tenenbaum couldn't immediately identify. It was conical in shape, had several tubes sticking out the back of it, and seemed to have an odd spiraling design all the way down. Eleanor, however, had no such issues. The moment she saw it, she knew exactly what it was. A drill. But not just any drill. She brought her flaming palm closer to the box, allowing its light to chase away the shadows that clung so forcefully to the death machine.
It was a Bouncer's drill, no doubt about it. Eleanor was already trying to figure out what Sinclair could have possibly needed a drill like this for when Tenenbaum realized what it was. "Gott helfen Sie uns, is that what I think it is?" As it was apparent she wasn't actually expecting an answer, Eleanor kept her thoughts to herself and allowed the woman to continue with her ranting. "Was Sinclair really going to bring these horrible... things back with him? He said he wanted to sell Rapture's technology... But this?"
Tenenbaum was still going on when Eleanor turned her gaze to another crate and, having already found a technique for cracking them open, popped its lid off. Inside was the same thing, maybe five drills that looked like they had simply been thrown in and had a lid shoved down on top of them. One of the metal tips had nearly pierced the side, and she suspected that one had probably pierced the bottom. She moved on to another crate, and this time she found a Bouncer's suit laying in dusty folds. Again it appeared that it had simply been shoved in and sealed. But for what purpose?
She hadn't known Sinclair. All she did know about the guy was that he'd been helping her father, was an ally of Tenenbaum's if not a friend, and one other thing. That third thing, however, was what she had been basing his character off of. Whenever she heard his name mentioned, it was this that she thought of.
He'd come to save them. Both of them. He'd broken into Inner Persephone and tried to rescue them when he knew full well that even Delta, the infamous Big Daddy, had failed. And when Sinclair had been captured and turned into a Big Daddy himself, he fought harder than anyone Eleanor had ever seen to stay in control, just so he could tell them to kill him and take his key to the lifeboat.
Everybody in Rapture has at least some dark motives, Eleanor told herself. The one's who didn't, died. But could that really justify this? In the end, years from now if she survived, how would she think of Sinclair? As the guiding hand that brought her father back to her, or as the man who would have willingly unleashed Big Daddies on the unsuspecting world, just to make a buck?
It will have to wait, she decided. She sniffed the air, all traces of Adam except for her own and the lingering smell of the Sisters' was gone, and even the Sisters' scent was starting to fade. "Come on, " she said quietly, as if something in the shadows might stir if she spoke to loudly. "Obviously the Sisters aren't down here, and if there were Splicers, we'd already have been attacked. There's nothing left for us down here."
"I know, child," Tenenbaum said absently, starring at the boxes that stretched the entire room. "Besides, there's something Alice isn't telling us. I think she knows what happened."
"I got the same feeling. She didn't seem to want to talk, but I think living with mother may have at least given me some tools to help me in a situation like this."
Tenenbaum didn't say anything in return as they turned to make their ascent up the stairs, but there was really nothing more that needed to be said.

Dwyane Wade is a man of the people. Not only did Wade attend the Yankees-Angels game last Sunday following his team's win over the Knicks, but he also found some time to play a little pickup basketball with some kids at the park.
The New York Post reported on Tuesday that Wade was out buying clothing with his stylist in SoHo after the game when he spotted some kids playing at Tompkins Square Park. Despite wearing fancy clothes like including a dress shirt and tie, Wade was able to ball it up.
We have no idea if Wade's publicist fed the story to the New York Post and shot the video and sent it to TMZ, but it looked fairly authentic to us. The only questionable part was Wade wearing relatively athletic-looking shoes, suggesting this may have been planned.

The Casey Rabach signing is starting to make even more sense.
Ravens center Matt Birk will have his left knee scoped and will miss two weeks, according to his agent. As a result, Rabach, who the Ravens signed yesterday, will be counted on to fill in with Birk sidelined.
Birk, a six-time Pro Bowler, has battled knee injuries recently, and said at the end of last season that needed to have his knee drained every week in order to play. The 35-year-old center has not missed a game the last five seasons, but his knee has flared up recently, and is certainly an issue going forward.
The hope is that this procedure will clear things up and allow Birk to be ready for the start of the regular season, but it's hard to tell when you're talking about a player in his mid-30s with 13 years of football under his belt.
This is looking a bit down the road, but if the scope is ineffective and Birk is unable to come back healthy, he might become a salary cap casualty. With the Ravens needing to clear cap space, they might not be able to hang on to Birk and his $3 million salary if he can't return near full strength.
With Birk missing practice the last two days and Rabach yet to arrive at training camp, the Ravens have turned to two undrafted rookies - Ryan Bartholomew and Tim Barnes - at the center position.

Richmond Place Denham Springs Home Prices Increasing in 2017
Bill Cobb Appraiser has released a Richmond Place Subdivision Denham Springs Watson Home Sales Update 2016-2017, Prices Increasing in 2017 Are Watson home values higher after the flood? At least in Richmond Place where it did not flood and those subdivisions competing with Richmond Place style and quality homes, they are higher. With low inventory, the 1998sf Evangeline Meridian PCC plan is listed at $189,900 with 2 pendings. There's sort of this debate on Facebook about whether home prices are up post flood. To some extent they are, but this isn't the same run up as the post Katrina market either. In this example comparing median sales price of $164,000 to current $175,950, that's an increase of 7.2%. HOWEVER, see the chart below showing in May 2015, median sales prices were at $175,000 meaning this increase into 2017 is a recovering market. Have ALL Watson homes increased 7.2% since 12 months ago? I don't know as it wouldn't be a fair comparison to compare non-flooded subdivisions with flooded subdivisions. Only time and recovery will determine where prices go from here…and there's almost no flooded-repaired sales in MLS to know yet.
