The remarkable history of the family of O'Higgins, however, does not end even here.
When the latter was banished by Carrera, O'Higgins retired from the army.
O'Higgins, it is true, divested himself of his insignia of office by a spontaneous act.
O'Higgins met the situation with a characteristic calm and intrepidity.
Having once got his foot upon the official ladder, O'Higgins never stepped back.
The great O'Higgins had retired from the eye of the nation and from the scene of his struggles and self-sacrifice.
O'Higgins was wounded and had to be carried out of the fight.
Political convulsions in the country followed the abdication of O'Higgins.
Where Mr. Dreiser identifies himself with his subjects, Mr. O'Higgins stands apart in the most strict detachment.
O'Higgins by forced marches succeeded in beating the Spaniards to the Maule, saving the city for the moment.

hello all,
i've recently embarked on a rfid related project involving making a security auditing tool for my college. anyway, I got hold of a usb Arcontia rfid reader (an ACG reader on the inside) and have been struggling to make it work with the tools in BT4.
after some playing around with rfdump in Ubuntu I got to read the tag id's (though nothing else) by using: rfdump -p /dev/ttyUSB0 and scanning through the baud rates.
now I'm trying to get to grips with the RFIDIOt tools in backtrack, however all I get is:
'garbage from reader' I can see that the reader is there if I try lsusb, also it pops up in the /dev folder as either ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1.
I installed rfdump on my BT4 installation, but using it in the manner I did in ubuntu got no results.
Does anyone know what's going on here? I'm guessing that there is some simple way to configure the reader which I have overlooked. any help will be more than welcome (I feel that there is some obvious solution, and yet with a day's googling I'm not much better off), documentation about the reader, and RFIDIOt seem to be scarce.
thanks, francis

BURTON, MI -- An Internet café operating here under the name Shamrock Sweepstakes closed its doors after a local court ruled that electronic sweepstakes games are a form of illegal gambling, said local news outlets.
Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Rosemarie Aquilina found in favor of the state's attorney general, reversing a pro-sweepstakes ruling issued by another court on Nov. 20.
The attorney general's Alcohol & Gambling Enforcement Division had issued a cease and desist order to the location owner in mid-October. A spokesman for the AG's office said the Michigan State Police and Michigan Gaming Control Board have investigated sweepstakes games and determined them to be illegal gambling.
As earlier reported by Vending Times, the AG's office announced the "voluntary" closure of eight sweeps locations last spring. | SEE STORY

SNOHOMISH — Russell Crippen batted 3-for-5 with two RBI and three stolen bases and Andrew Ivelia added two hits and two RBI to pace Snohomish to a 9-4 victory over Lake Stevens in a Wesco 4A North game.
Crippen led an offense that despite scoring nine runs, produced just one extra base hit on the afternoon: a double by Ivelia in the bottom of the sixth. But, according to to Panthers head coach Kim Hammons, his team took advantage of their scoring chances throughout the game.
"I think that we were just opportunistic in manufacturing runs and walks and singles throughout our lineup," Hammons said. "We didn't have any big producers really."
Hammons acknowleged that Crippen's play in Friday's game — and all season so far — has been key in Snohomish's success.
"Russell is just an exciting player to watch this year," said Hammons. "He's been hitting the ball hard and in play in every game. He's been a real catalyst this year."

Not that long ago, properly aligned storage tiers were created by hand, with fixed purposes for fixed applications. This is changing rapidly, as new methods of ensuring data availability, speed, and redundancy are emerging.
Automated tiering has only recently become possible due to advances in processing power, storage types, and bandwidth growth. Add in the cloud, and the situation grows even more fluid.
In this week's New Tech Forum, Dick Benton, principal consultant at GlassHouse Technologies, takes us through the quickly evolving world of storage tiering -- from where we are today to where we're going across all types of storage media. -- Paul Venezia
The sea change in storage tiering philosophy
In the early days of storage tiering, tiers were developed primarily according to key cost differentiators, the first being the cost of additional storage needed to support data protection. That protection was provided by replication, snapshots, backup copies, and RAID configuration, and it was generally assumed that an application requiring tight and expensive recovery would also require good performance.
Vendors cooperated by ensuring that their enterprise-class offerings all supported synchronous, if not asynchronous, replication, along with lots of ports and performance characteristics. Tiers were created where typically the highest and most expensive ones supported a near-zero data loss, with return to operation well under 24 hours. Lower tiers supported increasing data loss tolerance and lengthier recovery times. Many organizations had one set of data loss tolerances and return-to-operation targets for localized partial failures, as well as a different and often somewhat looser set of attributes for recovery in the event of an entire site failure (aka disaster). Then four things happened.
A shake-up in storage tiering
First, the sophisticated replication and snapshot technology, heretofore only available on expensive, enterprise-class storage frames, gradually began to appear in midlevel and low-end frames. Today, there is probably not a storage array on the market that does not support replication and snapshots.
The second game changer was the new capability that allowed data to be striped across the entire array instead of over just the few disks in a SCSI tray. This capability put the importance of RAID configurations on the back burner, as RAID 10 performance could now be achieved through striping across multiple spindles.
Next came the advent of solid-state storage devices (SSDs) with the ability to automigrate heavy I/O loads from low- to higher-capability media and back down again as IOPS requirements dropped.
Finally, the fourth was good old Moore's Law, or a derivative of it, that drove down the cost of storage hardware to the point that remote replication to a distant site became economically feasible, if not justifiable, as data started its explosive growth to 30 percent or more per year. At the same time, customer service and compliance awareness increasingly demanded higher levels of availability through quick recovery.
These game changers made many of the design concerns and philosophy that had gone into the old bundled tiers based on protection and performance obsolete. Replication and snapshots became something that could be available on high-end, midlevel, and low-end arrays. The requirements of mirrored disks for write efficiencies were eliminated by the ability to stripe across the frame, and the ability to restore and recover from a single disk failure was similarly enhanced through the new striping paradigm.
Performance issues could now be addressed by migration within the storage array across different disk/bus technologies -- from cheap SATA to extraordinarily expensive SSDs. Indeed, just a 1 percent SSD holding could accelerate the performance of that frame by significant increments.

Wynonna Judd says goodbye to 'Dancing With The Stars'
Listen to Wynonna on iHeartRadio
Wynonna Judd's "Dancing" days are over. The country singer is the first celebrity to be voted out of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" this season. In her goodbye, Wy said she enjoyed being in the competition, but she's also looking forward to what's ahead for her.
Wy entered Tuesday's results show facing an uphill battle. On Monday night the judges gave her Samba just 15 points, which left her with the lowest score of the night. But the singer received support from her fellow celebrity dancers at the end of the show.
In keeping with the "Prom Week" theme, Zendaya Coleman, who at the start of the show was voted "Queen of the Prom," gave her sash to Wy during Wy's last spin on the floor with partner Tony Dovolani. Jacoby Jones' "Prom King" props ended up on Tony.
Wy became the first person voted out of the competition, even though this was the season's second elimination. The votes didn't factor into last week's decision, since Dorothy Hamill dropped out with an injury.

Syria conflict: 5 warring factions (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) Nicholas Blanford 06/07/12)
Source: http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2012/0607/Syria-conflict-5-warring-factions/The-Assad-regime
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR Articles-Index-Top
Syria is at the nexus of two of the Middle East´s central problems: sectarian and ethnic rivalries and the Arab-Israeli conflict. Between that and its ties to anti-Israel groups like Hezbollah and Al Qaeda- inspired groups, as well as a three-decade alliance with Iran, the fallout from its uprising is likely to ripple, in unpredictable ways, throughout the region. Here´s a brief guide to the actors in the conflict:
The Assad regime
After 14 months of rising violence, the regime of President Bashar al- Assad has shown no sign of disintegration. Only a handful of minor officials have defected. Mr. Assad has been bolstered by diplomatic and logistical support from Russia, China, and Iran, as well as by the West´s reluctance to intervene militarily.
The regime also can rely on support from the minority Alawite community. At 12 percent of Syria´s population, many Alawites fear persecution or worse at the hands of majority Sunnis if the regime falls. This also explains why key units of the Syrian Army have held together. The well-equipped, well-trained 4th Armored Division is about 80 percent Alawite. For them, the struggle to crush the opposition is potentially an existential one. But even if the regime holds on, it is certain there will be no return to the Syria that existed before the uprising began in March 2011.
The Syrian opposition
The opposition is split between the exiles and the internal actors. The Istanbul, Turkey-based Syrian National Council is the leading platform for the opposition; but it has a troubled history of infighting and division, chiefly between Islamists and secularists. Burhan Ghalioun, the leader of the SNC, resigned May 24 in the face of mounting criticism.
The internal opposition is on the front lines of the struggle and has risked arrest, torture, and death. They view the external opposition with contempt and suspicion. The inability of the external opposition to provide a unified vision of a post-Assad Syria has seriously weakened its credibility inside the country, particularly among the minorities who so far have been reluctant to join the struggle.
The Free Syrian Army
The Free Syrian Army is the main armed opposition and consists of several "brigades," "battalions," and "companies." The strength of each unit runs from as few as 15 fighters to the Khaled bin Walid Brigade in the area of Homs, which boasts 3,000 combatants in five battalions. The leadership of the FSA is in Turkey, and most units act with a high degree of autonomy. There is some coordination between adjacent units, but the FSA essentially operates as a cellular guerrilla network rather than a regular army.
The FSA lacks regular supplies of ammunition and appropriate weapons, notably antiarmor missiles.
Foreign fighters
The Assad regime blames the violence on "armed terrorist gangs" sponsored by Saudi Arabia and Qatar and says Al Qaeda is operating in the country. Several large-scale bombings in Damascus and Aleppo have been claimed by a previously unknown jihadist group called the Nusrat Front. The Syrian opposition says the regime carried out the attacks to bolster its claim that Al Qaeda is present in Syria.
Ayman al-Zawahiri, Al Qaeda´s leader, has called upon Muslims to go to Syria and fight Assad. While there is credible evidence to suggest that elements of the armed opposition are inspired by religion, a formal Al Qaeda presence is unconfirmed. There is anecdotal evidence of foreign Arab fighters entering Syria to join armed groups. (See related story, page 21.) They include nationals from Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, Tunisia, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, and perhaps Libya.
Religious and ethnic minorities
Christians, Druze, and Kurds generally have stayed out of a confrontation that pits the majority Sunnis against the minority but powerful Alawites. Many Christians, in particular, fear that the fall of Assad could usher in a Sunni Islamist regime that may restrict their freedoms. Syria´s minorities have watched neighbors Lebanon and Iraq tumble into civil war in recent years and have no wish to see Syria plunged into the same kind of conflict.

To help a client cope through grief and loss, I sometimes use the example of how an oyster forms a pearl. The oyster ingests a grain of sand that causes pain, and which cannot be removed or dissolved (just like we cannot eliminate the pain of missing a loved one). So the oyster begins to encase the grain of sand with layers of calcium-like substance, that makes the grain of sand easier to carry and hold, without the rough edges. Coping through grief and loss can involve learning how to unpack, experience, and adjust how we carry the pain. Therapy can help you soften and encase the pain of loss, forming a "pearl" around it that is easier to carry with you, and perhaps make it more precious.

In your grief and sense of loss, my primary job is to be able to truly listen to you. To have the strength to really understand and feel the change in your life, and to have the courage to absorb and empthaize with that loss, not to protect myself from it. Hopefully, with that help, you will be provided the forum in which to begin to adjust to your loss.

Grief and loss are part of life; yet, people who are experiencing loss and grief can be misunderstood by those around them. At times, those who grieve can feel isolated from others. Sometimes people around them don't understand what they are going through and ask questions like. "Why can't you get on with life?" "Why can't you get over it?" I create a safe environment for clients to process their grief over their losses, whether it be a death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, the loss of health or the loss of hopes and dreams for the future. We work together to find ways to cope with the pain and find joy in life once again.

If you are experiencing grief and loss, therapy can help you understand the impact of your loss on your life and will provide support and a safe place to express yourself. In addiiton, counseling can help you move through your grief and eventually create new meaning and sustenance in your life. Even though you may currently feel devastated and lost., therapy can restore a sense of meaning and hope in your life.

Most people who come to therapy are suffering from some loss, whether from a death of a loved one or the loss of a job or of a relationship. There is also the loss of dreams. Together, we work to find out what the losses have been and to "work through" them. This is hard work, but on the "other side" of this work, once it has been done, is the energy and vitality and the peace of mind that has been missing. I usually use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for this work, as there is so much research to support it, and it works quickly compared to most therapeutic approaches.

Each loss is unique and so is the treatment. You may need a witness to tell your story in a safe, respectful place or find strategies to deal with unresolved issues with an important person you lost or a job. I can help you through this by using different strategies, such as, writing unsent letters to the person you lost, visualizing ways of moving on while establishing rituals to maintain good memories, connecting with support groups as needed,etc.

Grief and loss are a natural and unavoidable part of life, whether it is a sudden loss, like the loss of a loved one to death, or a more gradual loss, like the loss of physical vitality with illness or aging. When a very large loss overwhelms us and makes life seem painful and perhaps meaningless, it is time to get help to put that loss in perspective. I help people to work their way through loss and find ways to make it part of the larger mosaic of their life, helping them reduce the overwhelming pain and helping them find hope and meaning again.

10632 Little Patuxent Pkwy, Suite 340, Columbia, Maryland 21044
Grieving has several different stages and my approach is to help clients process and normalize the range of emotions they may experience with loss. I also normalize the fact that people grieve in different ways and in their own time frame. Loss can take many forms: loss of relationship, job, illness/injury, pets; it isn't limited to the physical death of a loved one. I've found that doing some sort of physical representation of what was lost can be very healing, for example a collage, drawing, or scrap book.

Derivatives are financial instruments that entities use to hedge their particular exposure to some sort of financial risk. These financial risks include interest rate risk, market price risk, credit risk, foreign exchange risk, and commodity risk. As FASAB (which determines GAAP for Federal entities) is silent on this issue, the accounting for derivative instruments are governed by FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which aims to highlight to financial statement users additional disclosures on an entity's objectives in its use of derivatives and the method of accounting for such financial instruments. Derivatives are accounted for at market value in accordance with this standard. Derivatives are marked to market with changes in value reported within financial income. The hedge strategy (i.e., fair value, cashflow, or foreign currency) employed determines the financial statement impact on their statement of operations and net position. Per ASC Topic 815, the fair value of derivative instruments shall be presented on a gross basis when they are subject to master netting agreements.
PBGC uses derivatives to mitigate investment risks, enhance investment returns (derivatives are not used to leverage investment portfolios) and as a liquid and cost efficient substitute for positions in physical securities. PBGC utilizes a no hedging designation which results in the gain or loss on a derivative instrument being recognized currently in earnings. PBGC elects to net its derivative receivables and derivative payables and the related cash collateral received for its non-exchange derivative contracts subject to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements. As of September 30, 2011, PBGC had $0.1 billion of derivatives in an asset position (recorded in other assets). PBGC had $(0.02) billion of derivatives in an asset position (recorded in other assets) as of September 30, 2010, and $(0.01) billion of derivatives in a liability position (recorded in other liabilities) as of September 30, 2011, and 2010.
Other than certain derivative instruments in investment funds, TVA uses derivatives purely for hedging purposes and not for speculative purposes. The accounting for changes in fair value of these instruments depends on whether TVA uses regulatory accounting to defer the derivative gains and losses, and whether the derivative instrument qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. As of September 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively, TVA had $0.4 billion and $0.2 billion worth of derivatives in an asset position (recorded in other assets), and $2.1 billion and $1.6 billion worth of derivatives in a liability position (recorded in other liabilities).
The gain/(loss) on derivatives was $0.1 billion and $0.2 billion for PBGC and $(0.1) billion and $(0.1) billion for TVA for fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Please refer to the individual financial statements of PBGC and TVA for more detailed information related to derivatives.

you can use ettercap to parse.. it does a pretty good job default
the thing with sslstrip 0.9 is it still doesn't strip newegg.com.. I was going over moxies code and trying to get it to work
I have seen a many posts about parsing through all the data in SSLStrip to find the usernames and passwords. I created easy-creds a while back and it has an SSLStrip parser built into it. However, the definitions.sslstrip file that comes with the download is meant to be edited as new values for sites are found. I tried to include a good number of common sites, but it is not completely comprehensive.
If you look at the file it is easy to see what values need to be included. Sometimes it does spit back garbage (like for twitter). But that is easy to change.
Here's how I do it:
Browse to the login page
Fire up tamper
Put in username/password and login
Verify the values in tamper that contain the login info
Add those to the definitions file
For example:
www.concursolutions.com has a username value of "userid" and a password value of "password"
So in your definitions you would add:
concursolutions.com userid= password=
You can add another value if you like just to make sure the parsing can verify it only from that site. Such as logindomain=
The parser will then verify all 4 values exists, if they don't it won't return anything.
I am hoping that people will continue to add to the definitions.sslstrip file and that it can grow stronger. Please feel free to post new sites here...I'll check it out every so often and add them to the base.
Also, if you don't want to use easy-creds, you can cut/paste the parsing function out if it into its own bash file and run it standalone. All the code is there you just have to add the necessary #!/bin/bash and save it.
Happy hunting

the thing with sslstrip 0.9 is it still doesn't strip newegg.com.. I was going over moxies code and trying to get it to work
Well if the newegg cookie has 'secure' as an attribute, then sslstrip most likely wont work and ettercap will kick in to offer a fake SSL cert. If that cert is accepted then it'll show up in the ettercap window.
To setup newegg in the SSLStrip parser for easy-creds just add this line to the end of the definitions.ssltrip file and hit enter:
NewEgg IsValidate= UserName UserPwd
That should be enough for the parser to grab the new egg login info if you run it against the SSLStrip logs.
Happy Hunting!

Louise Gray Fall 2011
Who else but Louise Gray could open London Fashion Week—tartan, dots, balloons, bells, whistles, and all—with such a bang? The irrepressible exuberance of this young Scottish designer is a sort of standard-bearer for all that is optimistic, young, cooperative, and friendly about London now. About three quarters of her appeal is about sharing her sense of do-it-yourself fun. (The bells dangle from bracelets in oversize smiley-face-form, the whistles swing from ears, and the balloons are a surreally odd form of children's party-hat made by Gray's great mate, the milliner Nasir Mazhar.) The other quarter is something that deserves to be taken more seriously: her spot-on reading of where advanced fashion is headed.
How come Gray thought about polka dots, and the tradition of Scottish plaid and knits at the same time as much bigger designers? Well: This girl has been dabbing her fingers in neon-paint pots and applying them to her face for about a year (the makeup in this show is a professional replica), for one thing. And for another, hey—her actual roots are as a textile designer from Scotland, brought up dyed-in-the-wool in the artisanship of tartan, tweed, mohair, and local knitwear, and what-have-you.
Perhaps it takes a daughter of the Highlands (Fraserburgh, in Aberdeenshire) who knows the territory so well to be able to be so playful with it. But still, take a second look at her red tartan bomber jacket, and her oversize blue-check mohair coat, printed with gold-coin dots: These two pieces are certain to make it into every trend-trackers' roundup of the season. And, more important—she's sure to be selling a few.

I would hope you would see it after all I did post it. But I mean sure your throw itself is good but the hand is wack, shit wasn't meant to start a flame war. Goddamn.
hand aint wack bro.
You're going to tell me if someone new came in here flaunting that hand you would praise it?
It's not bad it's a just a straight hand
Also I'm pretty sure he lvies in texas?
I know a few writers who moved here from texas and for some reason they all rock striaght hands like that
Maybe it's an area thing
taht and he's writing with pen
It's hard to make shit good with pen
But here's a word of advice
Take a lighter and light the tip on fire
The ink flows better and darker and it writes smooth as fuck
you're welcome
And it isn't really just that one but the ones he has on stickers with the wiggly question marks and shit. Damn.
thats one tough kid . throw in what u got.
Of what?
Deck- Its just a different style of letter. In my opinion I think its super new and fresh. Theres two guys in my area (chillen and belio) that have such a good hand thats kinda the same. We all have are likes and dislikes so give it up his style doesent effect you.
bigblue - i dig it, do you have one done with marker or something? bet it'd look illfresh..
new tag, new bomb.
I donno about it...
crits plz
umer...(running out of marker ink)
working on my block style crits?
big blue- ill style and and idk what deck's talking about straight hands are sick
Emediation- its not that flowing but yeah practice makes perfect and your i does look like a J, drop the extension thing on the left side of it that might help
Umer- The idea you have going is sick,
but I'd get rid of all the dead space between letters.
I gotta say dude,
the right of your M is a better E than your actual E.

'The best news for Regier in a nonseason that hasn't produced much good news is the play of goalie Ryan Miller in Rochester. The young guy who experienced a meltdown after getting shelled in an early season game with the Sabres in 2003 is a different player physically and emotionally. He's the big reason the Amerks have become dominant after their slow start.'

NEW ORLEANS — Olivia Grayson doesn't intend to slow down.
The senior leader of Tulane's women's basketball team and first-team all-Conference-USA selection isn't concerned about fatigue, minutes or statistics. Considering the depth behind her on the Green Wave roster, Grayson said there's no reason to save energy this year.
"I'm a senior, and I've won a conference championship and played in the NCAA Tournament, but I think this is the deepest team we've had when it comes to covering every position on the floor," Grayson said. "There's no place where I can look and see any sort of serious drop off. And we have so much experience coming back.
"I've always felt like we have had some of the best guards, but we've had to play positions we weren't necessarily comfortable at. But now we can all play our true positions and still have a good sub anyway."
Tulane's Conference USA peers agreed with Grayson's lofty assessment, voting the Green Wave first place in the preseason poll conducted by the league's coaches. They did so because Tulane is largely a known quantity.
The Green Wave returns 10 of its top 11 scoring producers from last year's 23-11 team, which finished third in C-USA and reached the second round of the WNIT. Coach Lisa Stockton said the wealth of returning experience allows her freedom not only to use substitutions and rotations freely, but also to promote flexibility in style.
Stockton's first opportunity to tinker with personnel comes at 7 p.m. Friday, when the Green Wave tips off the 2012-13 season in the newly renovated Devlin Fieldhouse.
"This is the deepest talent I think we've had in the last 10 years, I would guess," Stockton said, entering her 19th season at Tulane. "Our key as coaches it to try to use it to its maximum potential. That's a challenge but a good problem to have. We have some competitors and people who can play different roles, so anything can really happen with this group.
"What's nice is one injury isn't going to do us in. But if we can stay healthy and have everyone adopt their role, we can really generate some steam going into the conference schedule and hopefully into March."
Stockton said she's put an increased emphasis on both offensive and defensive tempo in recent weeks, mixing up lineups to find optimum results. While there is some freedom for Stockton to play like a basketball chemist, experimenting with Tulane's depth before hitting C-USA play in January, it doesn't make the nonconference portion any less important.
For a program that has tallied three consecutive 20-plus-win season and three straight postseason appearances to go along with its lofty preseason rankings, there is an expectation to perform at a high level starting Friday night.
Grayson said with the talent practicing around her the past few weeks, she expects this to be her best season at Tulane. That, on its own, is a tall aspiration to strive for.
"Our senior class has never not known the postseason, and I'm really proud of that," Stockton said. "They have had two conference championships and seasons with 20-plus wins in their career, and to have a group like that is a big challenge. Because when you've had that kind of career, it's hard to have your best season as a senior, but our expectations are through the roof. We are determined to meet them."

Topic: Best Friend just diagnosed.. 34 year old male..stage 4
Hope someone can give some advice. My best friend (BF) went to the ER about a week and a half ago for right side abdomen pain. (he has never had any other symptoms and still basically symptom free other than some general achiness on his right side) Long story short, they found a mass in his abdomen blocking the view of the gallbladder, 4 days later he had a biopsy done and the next day the surgeon called and said it was cancer and referred him to an oncologist. We went to the oncologist today and he told us it was stage 4 cholangio carcinoma gallbladder cancer. The doctor said that my BF had spots on his liver, and omentum that were also cancerous in addition to the gallbladder being totally cancer ridden. He said surgical removal of a tumor was out of the question, as was radiation due to how spread out the cancer cells are in the abdomen. He also said that the tumor is 7 centimeters in diameter and that chemo is the only option at this point. BF has a consult with a sugeon tomorrow for a chemo port to be put in and he also has a chest ct and bone scan scheduled for this week. Does anyone know how effective chemo is??? His only "medical" history is being overweight, but not unfit.. he works out but still is heavy. No one will answer our questions regarding the mortality rate on something of this nature... it is so awful, as 2 weeks ago he was thinking about buying his first home and now he doesn't even know what to expect over the next few months. Can someone give us any advice???

Single event effects (SEEs) in FPGAs, ASICs, and processors, part I: impact and analysis
1 Comment
Single-event effects (SEEs) are of a growing concern in high-reliability system development, yet there is much disparity among users of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) with regard to understanding how susceptible their designs might be. The avionics and industrial system development guidance that currently exists is only broadly beginning to consider SEEs and their impact on system reliability. Unfortunately, standards such as DO-254, DO-178, ARP 4754, ARP 4761, and IEC 61508 provide little or no direction on how to handle SEEs. This white paper highlights concerns regarding effects of SEEs on ASICs and FPGAs and points to analysis and mitigation techniques for handling SEEs.
All sub-micron integrated electronics devices are susceptible to SEEs to some degree. The effects can range from transients causing logical errors, to upsets changing data, to destructive single-event latch-up (SEL). Traditionally, FPGAs were targeted as being more sensitive due to their use of SRAM for the configuration storage. As dimensions shrink to below 90 nm, SEEs in all devices, including ASICs, FPGAs, and application-specific standard products (ASSPs) must be considered.
Although targeted to an avionics audience, this article has broad applicability to any industry in which safety and reliability are of critical importance. It should be useful to a wide audience comprised of system architects, engineering and program managers, and certification authorities.
Understanding the SEE phenomenon
SEEs result from interaction of high-energy particles with circuit elements in integrated circuits. When a high-energy particle passes through the silicon substrate of a device, charged particles are created as the result of sub-atomic particle collisions. These particles are generated by an ionization trail along the path of the incoming particle.
If a charged particle impacts at or near a transistor junction, the collected charge can induce an upset to the state of that transistor. If the collected charge is larger than the critical charge of the element, the element changes state. This change in state (or bit flip, in the case of a memory cell) is referred to as an SEU. Similarly, the charged particles can induce a current and voltage spike on a metal interconnect, which is referred to as a single-event transient (SET). If the pulse width of the spike is wide enough, the spike can propagate through the circuit (see Types of Single Event Effects).
Sources of charged particles
Two sources of charge particles are of concern to designers of high-reliability systems: cosmic ray interactions with the atmosphere, and impurities in packaging materials and the silicon substrate.
Atmospheric sources
Galactic cosmic rays (GCR) originate in outer space, are primarily comprised of subatomic particles and light ions, travel at nearly the speed of light, and strike Earth from all directions. As high-energy cosmic rays enter the atmosphere and react with atoms, through a process known as direct nuclear spallation, neutrons are generated in the atmosphere. The result of this phenomenon is often referred to as an air shower. Neutrons with energy greater than 10 MeV carry sufficient energy to cause SEEs in integrated circuits.
Atmospheric depth (density) also plays a significant role in causing neutron-generating reactions and in transporting neutrons to ground level. An intense neutron environment exists at higher altitudes in the atmosphere, 10 km to 40 km and more above the surface. In addition, Earth's magnetic field causes the flux to vary from the equator to the poles, with the equator having the least flux and the poles having the greatest flux. The magnetic field of the sun as it varies during the sunspot cycle also influences the flux of cosmic rays; maximum flux occurs at a solar minimum, for example.1
Packaging material impurities
Packaging materials used for integrated circuits often contain impurities, including trace amounts of uranium and thorium isotopes, which emit alpha particles as they decay. Although these particles are low in energy and have limited penetration depth, they are a concern for integrated circuits due to their close proximity to the silicon substrates.
Another source of alpha particles in packaging is the eutectic lead solders used for the solder bumps in flip-chip packaging. Even if the solder is purified of other radioactive impurities, it is impossible to remove the lead isotope 210Pb. Although 210Pb is not an alpha emitter per se, its decay chain contains the strong alpha emitter 210Po.
Substrate impurities
The element boron used in borophospho-silicate glass (BPSG) is another source of ionizing radiation. When one of the common boron isotopes, 10B, is struck by low-energy neutrons, an alpha particle and a lithium ion are generated. Given the significant amount of boron present in substrates plus the number of low-energy neutrons in the air shower, the effect is significant.
