1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a method of imaging a pattern arranged in the object plane of an optical imaging system into the image plane of the imaging system, and an imaging system for carrying out the method. The preferred area of application of the invention is projection objectives for microlithography.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Catadioptric or catoptric projection objectives are used in projection exposure installations for the production of semiconductor components and other finely structured components. They have at least one concave mirror and are used to image patterns of photomasks or graduated plates, which in the following text will generally be designated masks or reticles, onto an object arranged in the image plane of the projection objective and coated with a light-sensitive layer, at the highest resolution and on a reducing scale.
Since the resolving power of optical imaging systems is proportional to the wavelength λ of the light used and inversely proportional to the image-side numerical aperture (NA) of the optical imaging system, in order to produce finer and finer structures, the aim is firstly to enlarge the image-side numerical aperture of the projection objectives and secondly to use shorter and shorter wavelengths, preferably ultraviolet light with wavelengths of less than about 260 nm.
In addition to the resolving power, the depth of focus (DOF) that can be achieved during the imaging plays an important role for imaging that is faithful to the original. The depth of focus is likewise proportional to the wavelength used but inversely proportional to the square of the numerical aperture. Therefore, any increase in the numerical aperture without suitable measures for providing an adequate depth of focus is expedient only to a limited extent.
In order to improve the resolution and the depth of focus of microlithographic projection objectives, it is known to use pupil filters. The use of pupil filters is sometimes also designated optical filtering or apodisation. Here, pupil filter designates a spatial filter which is arranged in the region of a pupil surface of a projection system. This pupil surface, which is generally flat, is a Fourier-transformed surface in relation to the object plane and to the image plane. This means, for example, that a specific angle of incidence of light in the image plane of the projection objective corresponds to a specific radial coordinate in the pupil plane. With the aid of locally resolving filtering in the region of the pupil surface, it is therefore possible to exert an influence on the angular spectrum of the rays contributing to the imaging.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,222,112 shows a purely reflective catoptric projection objective for soft X radiation in which, in the region of a pupil, there is arranged a convex mirror whose mirror surface has a reflectance which decreases from the center toward the edge. As a result, an amplitude filter having a fixedly predefined, rotationally symmetrical filter function is created. In addition to amplitude filters which, for example, mask out specific different diffraction orders in the region of the pupil surface, phase filters are also known which, according to a predefined local filter function in the pupil surface, effect phase shifting of the light passing through in specific zones of the pupil surface. An explanation of the functioning of pupil filters and also examples of projection objectives having such filters are shown, for example, in EP 0 485 062 B1 or U.S. Pat. No. 5,144,362 and in the texts cited there.
In order to achieve the optimum benefit of pupil filtering, it is expedient to adapt the mode of action of a pupil filter, determined by the construction of the pupil filter, to the type of reticle structures to be imaged. Accordingly, pupil filters are optimized for specific reticle structures (for example contact holes, grid structures with one or more periodicity directions). Since reticles with an extremely wide range of structures are intended to be imaged by a projection objective, it is desirable to be able to use pupil filters with different effects as desired. For this purpose, U.S. Pat. No. 5,610,684 discloses a projection objective which has a changer for interchanging pupil filters in the pupil plane of the projection objective. The changer comprises displacement devices for displacing lenses close to the pupil, in order to provide sufficient space for the interchanging process. In EP 0 638 847 B1 (corresponding to U.S. Pat. No. 5,448,336), a projection objective having a pupil filter interchanging device is shown, the operation of which requires no movement of lenses close to the pupil. The technical implementation of interchanging devices of this type is very complicated in high-performance projection objectives, since close tolerances for material, fit and thickness of the optical components used and high requirements on the positioning accuracy and, possibly, gas tightness are imposed.
It is an object of the invention to provide a method of pupil filtering and a corresponding optical imaging system which make it possible to permit the use of pupil filters that act differently without any intervention in the optical system. It is another object to provide pupil filtering which in particular is adapted to the conditions in catadioptric or catoptric projection objectives for microlithography.
As a solution to these and other objects, this invention, according to one formulation, provides a method of imaging a pattern arranged in the object plane of an optical imaging system into the image plane of the imaging system with the aid of an imaging system which has a plurality of optical elements, which are arranged along an optical axis and comprise at least one mirror arranged in the region of a pupil surface of the imaging system, the method having the following steps: locally resolving filtering of the light passing through the imaging system in the region of the mirror in accordance with a variable filter function. According to another formulation there is provided an optical imaging system for imaging a pattern arranged in the object plane of the imaging system into the image plane of the imaging system, the imaging system having a plurality of optical elements, which are arranged along an optical axis and comprise at least one mirror arranged in the region of a pupil surface of the imaging system the mirror being subdivided into a plurality of mirror segments and at least some of the mirror segments being in each case assigned a drive device for moving the mirror element relative to other mirror elements. According to another formulation there is provided a mirror having a carrier structure to be incorporated in a fixed location, and a mirror layer applied to a mirror substrate, a drive device being arranged between the carrier structure and the mirror layer and being formed in such a way that, by driving the drive device, a distance between the carrier structure and the mirror layer can be changed in a controlled manner in predefined regions of the mirror.
Advantageous developments are specified in the dependent claims. The wording of all the claims is hereby incorporated by reference in the content of the description.
The method according to the invention of imaging a pattern applied in the object plane of an optical imaging system into the image plane of the imaging system makes use of an imaging system which has a plurality of optical elements, which are arranged along an optical axis and comprise at least one mirror arranged in the region of a pupil surface of the imaging system. Locally resolving filtering of the light passing through the imaging system in the region of the mirror in accordance with a variable or changeable filter function is proposed. In particular, the mirror itself is used as a variable pupil filter. The method can be applied in particular in all catoptric or catadioptric projection objectives in which at least one imaging, concavely or convexly curved mirror is provided and located in the region of a pupil surface. In this case, the mirror surface can substantially coincide with the pupil surface but it is also possible, at least locally, for there to be a distance between mirror surface and pupil surface. Said distance can be matched to the desired local resolution during the pupil filtering. By means of specifically changing reflective characteristics of the incorporated mirror, the filter function can be changed without replacement of the pupil filter being needed.
The mirror can be formed as an amplitude filter. This can be achieved, for example, by the reflective power of the mirror used varying over the mirror surface (locally resolving) and by it being possible to switch between different reflectance curves.
Embodiments in which locally resolving phase filtering is carried out in the region of the mirror are preferred. For this purpose, according to a preferred development, the mirror or the mirror surface used optically is subdivided into a number of mirror segments which can at least partly be moved relative to one another. At least some of the mirror segments are in each case assigned a drive device for moving the mirror element relative to other mirror elements, in particular with a movement component that can be oriented parallel to an optical axis. By means of controlled movement of mirror segments relative to one another with movement components parallel to the optical axis, the mirror geometry is varied locally differently or in a locally resolving manner and it is possible for optical path lengths of light rays passing through the imaging system to be varied relative to one another in a locally resolving manner in accordance with a predefined filter function by means of the movement of the mirror elements in the region of the pupil surface. This is because, by controlling the axial position of the segments, specific path differences or optical path length differences between rays reflected on different segments can be set.
By means of specific control of the axial position of various mirror segments that are directly adjacent or adjacent at a distance, continuous or stepwise setting and adjustment of the filter function is possible, the local components of the filter function being defined by position, shape and size of the mirror segments and it being possible for the achievable path differences to be adjusted continuously or step by step by means of the extent of the relative movement of the segments in relation to one another.
Tilting individual mirror segments or groups of segments can be used for the purpose of masking out light region by region or in a locally resolving manner, which means that the function of an amplitude filter can be achieved.
The great advantage as compared with the prior art is thus that, for the setting of different filter functions, it is not necessary to interchange with one another pupil filters each having a fixedly predefined filter function. Instead, the achievable filter function in the incorporated filter element can be set by means of specific relative movement of the mirror segments with respect to one another. A variable pupil filter is therefore provided.
In one development, the mirror comprises a number of annular or annular-segment-shaped mirror segments, which are arranged concentrically in relation to a center which preferably, in the incorporated mirror, coincides with the optical axis of the imaging system. This embodiment is adapted for rotationally symmetrical filter functions. The radial width of annular zones or the radius of a circular core zone can be adapted to the desired spatial resolution in the radial direction. In the most highly illuminated region of the pupil, there can be, for example, between two and ten to twenty or more annular zones.
In other embodiments, provision is made for the mirror to have a number of polygonal mirror segments which, for example, have a triangular, square or hexagonal segment shape. The mirror segments preferably lie so close to one another that they substantially fill the area of the illuminating region of the mirror, so that gaps which may possibly be present make up no more than about 1% of the total area. A hexagonal honeycomb shape of the mirror segments is beneficial to producing different spatial distributions of path differences. In principle, each mirror segment can be viewed as an image element or "pixel" in the Fourier domain. The number of "pixels" and the pixel size can be matched to the requirements. The number of polygonal segments can, for example, lie between about 10 and about 30 to 100 or more.
Dividing up the effective mirror surface into such mirror segments also permits the setting of non-rotationally symmetrical and/or eccentric filter functions in order, for example, to implement a linear course of a path difference transversely across the pupil filter or other spatial filter functions. For example, it is possible to set radially non-symmetrical pupil filter functions and/or, in the case of multiple exposure, to change quickly and simply between different pupil functions. Suitable filter functions are, in particular, on functions or function combinations which are described in the articles "Printing Isolated Features with K1=0.2 using Multiple-Pupil Exposure" by R. M. von B³nau and H. Fukuda, Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. Vol. 35 (1996) pages 6400-6403 and "Effects of radially non-symmetric pupil filters and multiple-pupil exposure" by R. M. von B³nau, H. Fukuda and T. Terasawa, SPIE Vol. 2726, pages 375-385. The disclosure content of these articles in this respect is incorporated by reference in the content of this description. Non-rotationally symmetrical filters can be advantageous, for example, if the mirror is operated at an angle differing from the perpendicular incidence of light or if contact holes in a dense grid with different grid spacings are arranged in mutually perpendicular spatial directions. A multiple exposure with a change between rotationally symmetrical and non-rotationally symmetrical filter function can, for example, improve resolution when imaging very thin lines. Superimposed exposure with a change between symmetrical or antisymmetrical functions with respect to two orthogonal axes can result in fourfold symmetry of the imaging properties, which can provide improvements with respect to edge sharpness or corner sharpness for specific structures.
In order to permit a wide range of variation when setting different filter functions, provision is made in preferred embodiments for a plurality of mirror elements that are capable of being driven separately from one another, in order to be able to carry out different movements. In particular, each of the movable mirror elements can be assigned a drive device that can be driven separately for the controlled movement of the mirror segment. Embodiments in which a drive device for a mirror segment has at least one piezoelectric crystal are particularly beneficial. For example, between a substrate to be incorporated in a fixed position or a carrier of the mirror and the mirror layer responsible for the reflection, a control layer or drive layer consisting of piezoelectric material can be arranged, being formed in such a way that, by means of driving the control layer electrically, its layer thickness and therefore the distance between the substrate or the carrier and the mirror layer can be varied in a controlled manner. In addition, other effects which, as a reaction to an electric or magnetic signal, effect a change in the dimension of a material, for example magnetostriction, can be used to construct drive devices or control layers of mirrors according to the invention. Drive devices for moving mirror segments can also operate in accordance with other principles, for example by means of an electric motor or fluid mechanics.
The invention can be used particularly advantageously in catadioptric or catoptric projection objectives for microlithography but also for other imaging systems, for example microscopes.
The above and further features emerge from the description and the drawings as well as from the claims, it being possible for the individual features to be implemented in each case on their own or in a plurality in the form of some sub-combinations in an embodiment of the invention and in other fields and to represent embodiments which are advantageous and intrinsically capable of protection.
Behind the mask plane 8 there follows the projection objective 5, which acts as a reduction objective and projects an image of the mask on a reduced scale, for example on a scale of 1:4 or 1:5, onto a wafer 10 which is covered with a photoresist layer and which is arranged in the image plane 11 of the reduction objective 5. Other embodiments which are designed for coarser initial structures, for example for mask-less lithography, can have greater reductions, for example between 1:20 and 1:200. The wafer 10 is held by a device 12 which comprises a scanner drive, in order to move the wafer synchronously with the reticle 7 and parallel to the latter. All the systems are controlled by a control unit 13.
The projection objective 5 is a catadioptric projection objective with geometric beam splitting. Between its object plane (mask plane 8) and its image plane (wafer plane 11), it has a catadioptric first objective part 15 comprising a concave mirror 16, a geometric beam splitter 17 and, behind the latter, a dioptric second objective part 18. The beam splitter 17, formed as a mirror prism, has a flat first mirror surface 19 for deflecting the radiation coming from the object plane toward the concave mirror 16 and a second mirror surface 20 for deflecting the radiation reflected from the concave mirror in the direction of the purely refractive second objective part 18. The catadioptric objective part is designed in such a way that a freely accessible real intermediate image is located at a distance behind the second deflection mirror 20, in the region of an intermediate image plane 21, and is projected into the image plane 11 by the following lenses of the dioptric objective part. The optical axis 24 of the projection objective is folded at the surfaces 19, 16 and 20.
The object plane 8, the intermediate image plane 21 and the image plane 11 are mutually optically conjugate field planes of the imaging system 5. Between these there are in each case located flat pupil surfaces which are Fourier-transformed in relation to the reticle plane 8 and to the image plane 11. A first, flat pupil surface 3 lies in the region of the imaging concave mirror 16. The pupil plane 22 following the intermediate image plane 21 and closest to the wafer is freely accessible. The adjustable system aperture stop (not shown) of the projection objective is situated in this region.
The exposure installation 1 is designed to achieve resolutions of 0.1 μm or better and high throughputs, and has an image-side numerical aperture (NA) between about 0.65 and about 0.85 or higher. The basic structure of the projection objective can correspond to the structure of the projection objective which is shown in EP-A-0 989 434. Other embodiments operate with physical beam splitting, it being possible for a beam splitter cube (BSC) with a polarization-selective beam splitter layer, for example, to be provided instead of the geometric beam splitter 17. There are also intermediate-image-free embodiments of catadioptric projection objectives according to the invention in which a concave mirror is arranged in the region of a pupil surface. Possible embodiments are shown, for example, in DE 42 03 464 or U.S. Pat. No. 5,537,260.
One special feature of the projection objective 5 is that the concave mirror 16 is designed as a variable pupil filter with an electrically adjustable filter function. A preferred embodiment having a rotationally symmetrical filter function will be explained by using
As the vertical sections of
The layer structure built up in this way is divided along concentric lines, which can correspond to the contact lines 33 in
To each of the mutually electrically insulated piezoceramic layer sections there leads a hole which leads from the rear of the substrate to the substrate surface 35 and in which an electric feed line 41 that makes contact with the associated piezoelectric layer 37 is led. The piezoelectric layer 37 and the feed lines are configured in such a way that, in the event of electrical activation of the piezoelectric layer via the feed lines 41, the piezoelectric layer changes its layer thickness on account of the inverse piezoelectric effect, as a result of which the distance between the respective reflective surface 36 of the mirror segment and the substrate 34 becomes specifically capable of variation. The arrangement is designed electrically and mechanically such that the achievable stroke in the direction parallel to the central axis 32 of the mirror arrangement is at least of the order of magnitude of half the operating wavelength, that is to say for example of the order of magnitude of about 100 nm.
The structure explained is preferably produced in such a way that, first of all, the mirror substrate 34 is provided with the holes for the feed lines 41 and the latter are mounted in the holes. The upper side of the substrate 35 is then polished and the piezoelectric layer 37 and the quartz layer 38 located above and also, if appropriate, further layers are applied one after another. Then, for example by a lithographic process, concentric rings or other structures are cut into the protective layer 38 and the piezoelectric layer 37. The surfaces remaining outside the cuts 40 form the later phase-shifting areas of the mirror filter. In the last operation before the use of the mirror, the reflective layer 39 is applied.
The mode of operation of the mirror, which can be used as a phase-shifting pupil filter, will be explained in connection with
Since, in embodiments of this type, the drive devices 59 for the movable mirror segments are not integrated in the sensitive layer structure close to the surface but are applied between relatively rugged parts of the subconstruction, specifically between the mirror substrate 51 and baseplate 52, the piezoceramic drive devices 59 can be replaced particularly simply by other types of drive devices which permit a controlled lifting drive of the mirror segments 58. Possible, for example, are micromotors which can be driven electrically or in another way or piston-cylinder drives that can be operated with a working fluid.
The embodiment of a phase-shifting concave mirror 70 explained by using
All the honeycomb mirror segments 71 can be moved separately from one another at right angles to the plane of the baseplate 74, it being possible for a lifting movement or lowering movement to be achieved by means of electrical activation of the associated piezoelectric drives 75. In the case of a mirror 70 incorporated close to the pupil, each honeycomb mirror surface forms a reflective image element or "pixel" in the Fourier domain. By means of synchronous activation of predefined groups of adjacent, physically contiguous, honeycomb mirror elements, it is possible to set filter functions with various spatial distributions of the desired path differences, so that even pupil filters with a non-rotationally symmetrical filter function are possible. The pixel size and therefore the spatial resolution of the pupil filter can be predefined through the size of the individual honeycombs.
The invention has been explained by way of example using catadioptric microlithographic projection objectives, which represent a preferred area of application of the invention. The invention can also be used in other optical imaging systems, for example in catoptric projection objectives in which all the optical elements are mirrors, or in microscopes. In order to achieve the filter action, if appropriate, an adaptive mirror having a profile of the mirror surface which can be varied continuously within certain deflection limits can also be used to an approximation. However, this has the disadvantage that sudden phase shifts, such as are present in theoretically ideal filters, cannot be implemented. Pupil filters according to the invention can alternatively or additionally also be designed as amplitude filters. For example, a mirror subdivided into mirror segments can contain mirror segments that can be tilted, so that, by tilting the segments, the proportion of light respectively incident on the latter is masked out and hence does not contribute to the production of an image. In this case, a plurality of actuators that can be driven independently can be assigned to a mirror segment, if appropriate.
The above description of the preferred embodiments has been given by way of example. From the disclosure given, those skilled in the art will not only understand the present invention and its attendant advantages, but will also find apparent various changes and modifications to the structures and methods disclosed. It is sought, therefore, to cover all changes and modifications as fall within the spirit and scope of the invention, as defined by the appended claims, and equivalents thereof.

Hey guys! Well long story short, my daughter at 5 months was eatting one day and she started going "mamamama" over and over. I read in my books that babies can say mama and dada but not really understand it so i just thought it was a cute little thing.
Well she lately has been saying it more and more. For example, when i come home from work and see her she looks right at me and says "mama". Then her grandma will be watching her and if i call she will say "mama". When we wake up in the morning and i pick her up she says it, or even if were playing. She normally only says it to me but she has said it around other people when she is crying or I am not there.
I dont want to get to excited but all my books and online sources say different things so I was just wondering from other moms what you guys might think or if anyone has experienced this?

Coworking spaces have become so popular because they offer a variety of options in order to help people who buy into the spaces achieve their goals. After all, with so many different types of options out there, it makes it easy for people at all different places and with all different needs to get something out of a coworking space. Plus, knowing that there are so many levels and membership options can help ensure that you can grow in your space. Perhaps you start off by using a virtual office through a great coworking resource. Over time you might find that you need more than the virtual office option is giving you, and you'll choose to invest in another kind of coworking space membership. Whatever it may be, you'll find that getting yourself the support and the backdrop of a place of work that will help you grow and change with your business's needs is just what you need to grow. The team of Office Evolution Golden is one of the teams that can help you make this a reality. Indeed, they have so many different options for the people who buy into their coworking space that it makes it easy for businesses to get started in this space and then continue to grow and use the space in other ways.
One option that many people decide to make use of at the outset is the virtual office. Virtual office packages are beneficial to people at all business levels, and are particularly helpful to people who are just getting started and building up a kind of business network to use to launch them forward into success. After all, when you have so many different types of business options out there, you'll want to be sure that you have the groundwork set up to allow you to succeed. One of the best things a virtual office can do for a fledgling business is provide a kind of support system to allow them to grow with a professional look and feel. After all, you can only work out of your basement for so long before it becomes unsustainable with the growth goals you have in mind. Here are a few of the reasons why people are using a virtual office space to help increase the professional look and feel of their business:
- Business address: Using a business address instead of a residential address will not only ensure that your work packages and other items are more securely shipped and delivered, but it will also allow you to have an address that customers can identify as a business building, helping them feel more secure in ordering from your store.
- Virtual receptionist: This service can work wonders for your productivity and can help you maintain that professional exterior. Instead of having to answer all calls at all times, a virtual receptionist will help field some of those calls for you, allowing you to get more done and providing a sense of professionalism for those who call in.
- Conference room rentals: You'll need them at some point or another, and with a virtual office package you'll get priority booking when you need meeting space!

Police have launched an investigation into Father Amer Saka, a Chaldean Catholic priest from London, Ont., after church officials reported more than $500,000 slated for refugee sponsorship was lost to gambling.
According to The Star, Father Amer Saka, a priest working at the St. Joseph Chaldean Catholic Church in London, is under investigation after telling his bishop, Emanuel Shaleta, that funds intended to help new Canadians had instead vanished in vice, Shaleta said.
"He called me on the phone and . . . said he lost all the money. I said, 'How?' He said, 'Gambling,'" Shaleta told the Star on Saturday, referring to a conversation he said took place Feb. 23.
"We believe that Father Saka has a serious gambling problem and that these funds may have been used for that purpose," he said.
"Since there is an investigation going on, we cannot confirm what he's saying."
Shaleta, who sits at the head of Canada's first and only Chaldean eparchy, or jurisdiction, said he suspended the priest immediately after learning of the missing money.
The bishop drove to London the next day to take Saka for several days of voluntary treatment at Southdown Institute, a non-profit facility north of Toronto for priests battling problems ranging from addiction to depression to sexually abusive behaviour.
London police confirmed they received a complaint Feb. 24 of alleged financial misappropriation related to the local parish.
"An investigation is underway," said spokesperson Const. Sandasha Bough on March 15. The financial crimes probe was launched more than a week after the initial report, said police, who needed bank records before going further. No charges have been laid.
The allegations have not been proven in court.

'PM as 1MDB suspect' poser; Harapan welcomes Bersatu
(Updated )
KINI ROUNDUP Here are the key headlines you may have missed yesterday, in brief.
'Najib as 1MDB suspect' poser
Finance Minister II Johari Abdul Ghani and DAP's Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo hurled insults across the Dewan Rakyat when Johari refused to reply to Gobind on whether Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak was a suspect in 1MDB investigations.
Johari also told DAP's Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua to stop flogging the 1MDB issue, after Pua urged him to declassify the auditor-general's report on 1MDB if nothing was wrong with the state investment firm.
He assured Pua that the government will ensure any fallout from the 1MDB issue is minimised.
Meanwhile, in a written parliamentary reply, Najib said Deloitte wants to quit as auditor for former 1MDB subsidiary SRC International, which was also embroiled in the 1MDB scandal.
Harapan welcomes Bersatu
Opposition coalition Pakatan Harapan welcomed Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) into its fold, and will consider a new logo. However, it was mum on Bersatu's proposal for a new coalition name.
Meanwhile, PKR deputy president Azmin Ali said relations between PKR and PAS continues despite Permatang Pauh PAS cutting ties with PKR.
PAS vice-president Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah said the party will decide if it will continue to have a political pact with PKR at its muktamar next month.
On a related matter, PAS Youth chief Nik Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz, who suffered a crushing defeat in the Pengkalan Chepa PAS division election, said he contested for fun.
Other Kinibites
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Abdul Rahman Dahlan said The Wall Street Journal's erroneous reporting on the calling of the Petronas-Saudi Aramco deal was based on information by Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown and opposition leaders. However, Rewcastle-Brown denied she was the source.
The Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) and its subsidiaries have recorded a RM1.21 billion unrealised loss from its stake in Felda Global Ventures Bhd, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Razali Ahmad said.
Forest City development buyers from China are in limbo after capital controls hinder them from making due payments, leaving them at risk of losing down payments, reported South China Morning Post.
The 12 police officers arrested in the human trafficking case involving mass graves in Wang Kelian, Perlis in 2015, were freed as there was insufficient evidence to charge them, said Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Presumption of guilt imposed on some individuals under certain legislations, namely Section 122(1) of the Securities Industry Act (SIA), is constitutional, the Federal Court ruled.
Police said there are no new leads in the abduction of pastor Raymond Koh, after a man who sought ransom from the family was charged with extortion.
A teacher and her businessman brother started a fundraising campaign for her student who scored 6As in SPM, despite having to squat in a snooker centre's store room with her five siblings and single mother, who works as a cleaner there.
Former DAP leader Hew Kuan Yau, better known as Superman, was arrested for allegedly insulting PM Najib and his wife Rosmah Mansor, in a posting lamenting the decision to censor the 'Beauty and the Beast' film.
Looking ahead
The Dewan Rakyat sitting continues.
Police will seek a remand order for Superman.

Academic Work
I work on program synthesis within the context of an algorithmic synthetic biology project on microbial chemical factories. My expertise is in formal methods, specifically program synthesis and program verification. My dissertation explored SAT/SMT-based techniques for program synthesis and verification, while my postdoc work has been directed towards bringing these techniques to synthetic biology, as well as systems biology.
I work at UC Berkeley now, and collaborate with Ras Bodik, Chris J. Anderson (Bioengineering), and Sanjit Seshia. Earlier, I finished my Ph.D. in programming languages at the University of Maryland, College Park, advised by Jeffrey S. Foster, Sumit Gulwani, and Michael W. Hicks.

Research Interests
Synthetic Biology:
Synthetic biology is the relatively new discipline of genetic modification of (primarily) bacteria and yeast to endow the organism with rationally designed unnatural function. Algorithmic techniques to reason about such modifications are virtually non-existent as of the moment. In (what I like to call) algorthmic synthetic biology, we are building prediction and verification tools for directing experimental work.
My current focus is on building a synthesizer that can predict genetic modifications that will allow organisms to excrete 1-Butanol (i.e., biofuels), Tylenol (i.e., drugs), or Nylon (i.e., polymers). Additionally, we are building a verifier that will validate the correctness (both syntactic, at the DNA level; and semantic, at the protein function level) of synthetic DNA.
Using predictions from our tool, we have already created a living E. coli strain that produces paracetamol (Tylenol).
Program Synthesis:
My research on programming languages focuses on foundational techniques that facilitate program understanding, improve software reliability, and in general, help in building functionally correct software. My techniques for semi-automatic program synthesis and program verification involve reducing the problem to SMT solving.
PhD Dissertation
My PhD dissertation was on program verification and program synthesis using SAT- and SMT-solvers. (The official title being Satisfiability-based Program Reasoning and Program Synthesis.)
Active Projects
Act Synthesizer: Enzymatic Pathway Synthesizer (Act Synthesizer Webpage)
Consider the task of generating a particular chemical of interest, e.g., an antibacterial drug or a biofuel. Either it can be done through traditional, expensive, chemical synthesis processes or it can be biosynthesized. While most chemicals are not naturally synthesized, new PCR and DNA synthesis technology allows experimentalists to transform E. coli or yeast with DNA that allows the organism to do complicated chemistry using new inserted enzymes (produced from the inserted DNA.)
Our task in this project is to generate operators from existing biochemical data, which are then the core operators over which a program is synthesized that when inserted into the E. coli will make it a "chemical microbial factory".
Model synthesis for systems biology
I work with two great students, Ali Sinan Koksal (Ph.D) and Evan Pu (ugrad), on this project. Here we are developing an semi-automatic model synthesizer that takes as input experimental data, and hints about the biological process to synthesize a formally executable/checkable model of the biological process.
Synthetic Biology Verfier (Syntax Verifier Tool)
Current synthetic biology is built around discover-(build-test)* cycles. Our Act Synthesizer project aims to automate the discover step. The build-test cycles are expensive wet-lab processes that sometimes fail due to bad sequence data and lack of understanding of molecular interactions between components. In our verifier project we take a candidate sequence that the experimentalist intends to build in the lab, and run it through a verification process that infers the likelihood of the sequence succeeding.
VS3: Verification and Synthesis using SMT Solvers (VS3 Project Webpage)
We are developing automatic program synthesis and program verification tools in this project. Using techniques described in my thesis we reduce synthesis and verification problems to SMT/SAT instances and use off-the-shelf SMT solvers to solve them and derive the program (when synthesizing) or invariants (when verifying).
In this project we are studying a constraint-based approach to program
analysis. Using the techniques developed in this project, we reduce
program properties to
constraints that can be efficiently solved
using off-the-shelf SMT Solvers, yielding efficient and expressive
program analyses. In contrast to previous approaches that uses
theorem proving to validate we have shown how theorem proving can be
used to instead infer program properties; and with a little bit
more work synthesize the program itself!
Past Projects
CMod: Enforcing modularity in C Code ('05-'07) (CMod Project Webpage)
CMod is a tool written to enforce a modular programming style in C code, to ensure that modules, when linked together, yield a type correct program. By enforcing a few non-intrusive rules, CMod lifts the idiomatic notion of modules in C to the level of a formally sound separate compilation and linking system. We have shown the viability of the system over a million lines of open-source C code.
Resource Allocation in CDMA based Ad hoc Networks ('01-'03)
In this project we developed techniques for more optimally using the wireless bandwidth available by making the MAC layer aware of the underlying CDMA physical layer. Better channel utilization is achieved by integrating information from both layers at the cost of losing the clean separation. Almost all wireless cards have hardwired physical and MAC layers, and therefore this loss of modularity is acceptable.

Oil is $130-something per barrel, and gasoline is over $4 per gallon. I am paying more for everything from milk to electricity to airline tickets. FedEx ( FDX) and UPS ( UPS) aren't delivering ... earnings. Retail stocks are getting hit because people aren't buying stuff with gas at $4. And Starbucks cannot sell a $4 latte for the same reason. This is what happens when the world's most ravenous (for oil) country has no clearly defined energy policy. These are just a few of the results of a lack of national awareness of the problem and the potential solutions. Barron's pointed out that the average U.S. consumer uses 25 barrels of oil per year. In China, that number is two barrels and in India it's less than a single barrel. The perception is that the growth in oil demand in those emerging countries will pick up and they will use more and more oil. True, we will need more oil. What's the problem?
The world has been running out of oil? The world has run out of "easy oil"? The world is going to run out of accessible oil? False, false and false. We have billions upon billions of barrels and gas equivalents of oil available to the world. In fact, we have billions upon billions available to us in the U.S. We have an estimated 18 billion barrels off the Outer Continental Shelf. Certain people in Congress would have us believe that those barrels are 10-plus years away from our refiners' cracking towers. That's just not true. I told you about the conversations I had with Transocean ( RIG) officers and their time frames for that oil in the last column. I have since confirmed that opinion with other big-time ocean drillers, and the picture remains as clear as it was last week.

22nd Jan 2013
An increase in the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) will lead to error and confusion amongst small firms, tax experts have warned.
Under proposals announced in last year's Autumn Statement, the AIA was increased from £25,000 to £250,000 for a two-year period from 1 January 2013, to allow small businesses to claim full tax relief on eligible capital expenditure.
However, in its response to HMRC on the draft Finance Bill provisions on the AIA, the Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT) has warned that the way the AIA is calculated and the fact that different businesses will have different accounting year ends could cause small firms to make mistakes.
The ATT stated that the limit on qualifying expenditure can be less than £25,000 depending on the firm's accounting year end and the level of its qualifying expenditure incurred before 1 January 2013.
In addition, it said that the combined effect of the temporary increase and the reduction in the AIA limit from £100,000 to £25,000 from 1 April 2012 could cause further confusion.
ATT president Yvette Nunn said that the proposals are well-intentioned but will be very problematic for small firms.
"The arithmetical complexities involved will lead to error and confusion and result in increased professional costs for businesses and an unnecessary diversion of HMRC resources into policing the cliff edges at the critical dates."
"The majority of SME businesses spend far less than £250,000 every year. For them, it would be far simpler for the old £100,000 annual limit to run through to 31 December 2014. In that way, there would be only one cliff edge.
"So we are urging the government to allow businesses to elect out of the confusing varying limits and into a flat limit of £100,000 a year from April 2012 for the whole affected period. We think that this would work well for businesses, HMRC and the economy."

Magic Mayhem and Sorcery Abound is part of a relativly large undertaking by Familyghost to create a truely original characters and then splice them into an already created universe with out overshadowing the regular characters; in this case the universe is the DC Animated Universe.
MM&SA is the story of one of young and powerful Sorcerer who works for the Ancient God's as a sort a Repo-Man of sorts. Unfortunately he also has the duty of banishing the demons and minions of evil gods, which lands him smack in the hands of the JLU and subsequently is assined to work with them by his "higher ups". The story features a running tension between the main character and several female JLU memebers, most tension comes from his playboy approach to life although Wonder Woman does have different motives.
Original Characters of consequence mentioned in the story are Choronus Illadae, the young sorcerer; Kezqua, an evironmental guardian mutated by a naturally occuring retrovirus; Rafe a half-dragon of royal descent in the "Mirror World"; Obsession a young wizardress who has a vendetta against Choronus; Bedlam, Obsession's husband and cult cleric of Seth; and Lous, a powerful demon that inhabit's Rafe's body.

Earth Action co-ordinator Sharon Labchuk says a Potato Board plan to plant trees around Island schools to block pesticide spray, including here at at Donagh regional, is nothing but an opportunistic stunt.
©Guardian photo by Steve Sharratt
DONAGH - A plan to plant trees around Island schools to block pesticide spray is nothing but a public relations stunt using children as pawns, says an outspoken P.E.I. environmentalist.
Sharon Labchuk challenges the effectiveness of a plan by the P.E.I. Potato Board to plant trees as a way of protecting students from pesticide sprays on nearby farm land.
"It's nothing but a scheme and a stunt because there is no evidence that planting a strip of trees between schools and potato fields will lessen the damaging impact of agricultural pesticides on children's health," said Labchuk.
"It's an opportunistic public relations stunt using children as pawns."
Labchuk's Earth Action produced a report almost 20 years ago documenting the proximity of schools to sprayed agricultural fields and found that 80 per cent of rural children attended schools within one-and-a-half kilometres of sprayed fields.
"Nothing has changed,'' she says, pointing to an aerial map of Donagh regional school in eastern P.E.I., which shows the school surrounded by fields on three sides.
It's not the only school either.
Earth Action claims schools should not be anywhere near agricultural fields.
The P.E.I. Potato Board is undertaking the tree-planting effort in conjunction with the he P.E.I. Watershed Alliance and the Department of Agriculture.
"We initiated a conversation with provincial environment staff about ways we could support planting trees in green spaces around Island schools," said potato board manager Greg Donald. "We see the benefit for enhanced green spaces between school grounds and adjacent properties, including agricultural land. Our next step will be to approach the schools to see if they'd like to participate this spring."
Donald said the board was not seeking any publicity and is surprised that Earth Action is opposed to their plan.
Labchuk says it is a myth that planting trees and buffer zones make a difference.
"The sheer intensity of pesticide use in P.E.I. means children are exposed to highly dangerous chemicals simply by breathing. No strip of trees is going to change that," she said.
Donagh principal Jason Kielly said the tree boundary at the school offers protection from wind and spray.
"A couple of years ago our home and school planted more trees to act as a wind barrier in the cold winter months," he said. "Up to this point in time I haven't had any parents inquire about the field or spraying of crops."

The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems, or HCAHPS, survey—now driving a portion of hospital revenue—touches radiology only tangentially, so it would be convenient to leave the patient experience to someone else. That was not the path of the University of Michigan Medical Center (Ann Arbor), which began exploring the idea of patient experience about five years ago, under the leadership of Ella Kazerooni, MD. The radiologist became interested, at the time, in the idea of service excellence, but discovered that the subject of patient satisfaction became controversial very quickly, in the setting of radiology.
"It's easy to put in questions to patients (and their families and visitors who come with them) about the operations of the experience and the way that they were treated," she notes. "There are other elements of the patient experience, though, that the radiology community may feel less comfortable with, such as the availability of radiologists to speak
to patients if they have questions about an exam."
The medical center was considering an institution-wide service-excellence initiative and investigated bringing in an outside company to train all employees, but was moving forward slowly, at the time. Subsequently, Kazerooni and her colleagues developed a service-excellence group composed of hospital staff, representatives of all imaging modalities and each physician-specialty division, and house officers—as well as support services such as IT, engineering, and media services: all in all, a large group.
The group began by discussing the concept of service excellence as a term for everything from employee engagement to patient satisfaction and the patient experience. Members read The New Gold Standard: 5 Leadership Principles for Creating a Legendary Customer Experience Courtesy of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company (McGraw-Hill, 2008) and considered which principles resonated with them, as leaders in the health-care enterprise.
The group built its program from the ground up, learning from others within the institution, developing a service excellence-statement and attestation that resonated with what people in the radiology department thought was important, and coordinating with the strategic plan and goals of the health system. "It took between 12 and 18 months, and there were lots of skeptics at the time," Kazerooni recalls—people who asked what the group was doing, why it was meeting, and why it needed to do this. She says, "Others simply said that they knew what was good medical care, and this was just superficial fluff."
She continues, "Taking our time and making it our own made it that much more an embraceable program. When we launched it, it felt like it was us. It was our program; it was something that we believed in and wanted to do."
Platform and Planks
The program was based on core service statements that resonated with staff about how to treat patients; how to smile through the phone and on email; and how to close out each encounter (whether on the phone, in person, or by email) when it relates to a patient-care experience. "It's about treating each other well; treating our colleagues well, across the health system; treating our referring physicians well and exceeding their expectations; and, certainly, meeting (if not exceeding) the needs of our own patients," she says.
A gold card printed with the belief statements was developed, and staff members carry it behind their ID badges. A one-page attestation of the belief statement must be read, discussed with a manager, and signed by all newly hired personnel and by all staff and faculty members at their annual reviews. A thank-you/closure card also was printed, with a radiology motif on one side and a note thanking the patient for choosing radiology at the University of Michigan on the other. The card bears the name of the last person to speak with the patient (technologist, staff person, or physician); the date when the patient can expect to get his or her results; and a reminder to the patient to ask any unanswered questions.
"It wasn't a very expensive program," Kazerooni reports. "I think some of the misconceptions about a patient-experience program are that it has to be expensive, that you have to spend a lot of time putting it into place and training people, and that you can't do this by yourself. I disagree with all of those myths. It's really more of a mental and emotional commitment."
Having a champion with the energy, passion,

Biography (updated December 2001)
The unexpected death of Trevor Madondo in June 2001, at the age of 24, robbed Zimbabwe of perhaps its most promising black batsman. He had not always used his talents or lived his life wisely, but his potential was great and, as national coach Carl Rackemann said, "He was a rich talent that everyone hoped we would one day see blossom."
Only months before, he had recorded two high-quality seventies, one against India in a one-day international and the other against New Zealand in a Test match. His team-mates were happy with his attitude, which had been questioned in the past, but on his return to Zimbabwe lack of form and another disciplinary problem meant that he did not play against Bangladesh.
Then he fell ill with cerebral malaria, was brought from Mutare to hospital in Harare, complications set in, and he died while the Indian tourists were in the country. The Zimbabwe team wore black armbands in the ensuing Test match against India, and captain Heath Streak dedicated their eventual victory to Trevor.
Trevor had been the first black cricketer to be selected for Zimbabwe as a batsman, his three predecessors all being pace bowlers. Making his debut on his home ground at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, against Pakistan in March 1998, he walked to the crease just after tea on the first day. His partner was Grant Flower, and the innings was at a crucial stage, with five wickets down for just 123 runs.
In those few minutes before the close, Trevor announced himself as a batsman of great, if raw, potential, with three superb strokes. He got off the mark with a sweet off-drive for three, and then drove a full toss from Waqar Younis to the sightscreen. Then he pulled Saqlain Mushtaq fiercely to the midwicket boundary, before bad light stopped play.
Unfortunately it was to prove his only good day with the bat in the two-match series. He was soon out, caught in the slips, the following morning. In Harare, he was run out in the first innings without facing a ball, an incident which was widely interpreted as inexperience, and never looked comfortable in scoring just two singles in the second innings. He missed the one-day series and the one-day tournament in India due to a leg injury. But that one evening in Bulawayo had shown clearly that this man had the ability to develop into a quality player with a unique style. It was important to cricket in Zimbabwe that he did so, as the country badly needs a batting role model for young black children.
Like most other black players, Trevor had no family background in the game. His family originated in the Rusape-Mutare area, but his father's career -- he is now a chief Agritex extension officer -- resulted in their moving around the country regularly. They lived in the Mount Darwin area, north of Harare and not far from the Zambezi escarpment, until Trevor was about six years old, before moving on to Bindura.
Trevor himself was sent to boarding school at Lilfordia, about 20 kilometres west of Harare, and this was to prove crucial in his sporting life. The headmaster was Mr Iain Campbell, father of the current national captain, and he inspired and nurtured young Trevor's cricketing talent, which was evident from the start. He was talented enough to win a place in the Colts cricket team in Grade 3, playing in the company of boys mainly a year or more older than he; by the time he was in Grade 5, he was playing in the school first team. In those days he played as an opening bowler and generally batted at number four; he did not keep wicket until he went to high school. He also played for Lilfordia at hockey and rugby.
In Grade 6, he was good enough to be selected for the Partridges, the national primary schools cricket team. He was not chosen when in Grade 7, though, as he was about six weeks too old for that age-group, although that season he averaged 84 in about 40 matches for Lilfordia. He scored five centuries, of which he remembered his 108 against Rydings School, probably his first century, as the most memorable. He also took seven wickets for 14 runs against the powerful Ruzawi team. In 1989 he won selection for the Mashonaland Country Districts primary schools team that toured England in 1989, but he produced nothing memorable in any of these representative appearances.
His parents' choice of high school likewise could not have been better, as he attended Falcon College, which has produced so many of Zimbabwe's Test players. Trevor felt that he did little during his first two years there, although playing in the A team for his age group. He now began to keep wicket, though, and this led to his being chosen for the Fawns, the national Under-15 team. This surprised him as he had not thought he had done well enough. He went on the Fawns tour of Namibia in 1992, but again without producing anything memorable. He paid tribute to Richard Harrison, his Falcon coach at Under-14 and Under-15 levels, who was a great help, not so much technically but very supportive and able to inspire him and arouse his motivation.
His best year at Falcon was his Lower Sixth year, and he represented Zimbabwe Schools in South Africa for two years. For the latter, he felt that his best innings was played in a match against Natal when his team needed 220 to win in quick time. He scored a fifty off about 30 balls, but was not quite able to turn a draw into a win for his side.
Trevor was still at school when he was chosen to make his first-class debut, as a wicket-keeper, for Matabeleland against the touring county team Glamorgan. He was already playing club cricket for Old Miltonians, and had several thirties and forties to his credit without going on to greater things. Although his keeping was not yet up to the mark at first-class level, confident innings of 48 and 36 made a good impression. He was to play in only one more first-class match, an unsuccessful Logan Cup appearance against Mashonaland, before the selectors plucked him seemingly out of nowhere to play Test cricket.
After leaving school in 1995, he won a place at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa, to study for a Bachelor of Commerce degree. He played in the first team at Rhodes, his highest score being a 77 against a local club team. He played as a batsman who could bowl rather than keep wicket, and took plenty of threeand four-wicket hauls. His university commitments prevented him from playing more regularly for Matabeleland, but the selectors proved they had not forgotten him when they selected him to make his Test debut. However, after two years at the university he decided to leave and pursue a sporting career more vigorously.
It was not really from `nowhere', however, that the selectors chose him to play Test cricket. Although his university studies again prevented him from representing Matabeleland in the Logan Cup, he was a regular selection for the Zimbabwe Board XI to play in the UCBSA Bowl competition, when available. He scored 86 against Transvaal B, followed by 42 in the one-day game; at home, he scored 77 against Durham University and an unbeaten seventy in a club match against Queens. Although he did not reach a century, he earned a reputation as being a good player of pace bowling. He frequently found himself scoring his first 15 runs or so with little difficulty, but failing to go on to build a big innings; he was certain that the problem was mental rather than technical, and nothing that greater experience cannot put right.
Another weakness in his game was that he tended to go for `big shots' all the time without attempting to work the ball around the field for singles, but on the even of his departure for Zimbabwe's extended tour in 2000/01 he believed he was now putting that right. "I feel I've been working well with my running between the wickets, and I think it's part of my game that has developed. For example, when we played that first-class game against Manicaland in Mutare, I was working the ones and twos, and that's basically the last time I've played first-class cricket."
In 1999 Trevor became a member of the first intake of the Zimbabwe Cricket Academy, but it was not a trouble-free year. He had a tendency towards a rather wild, undisciplined lifestyle and this landed him in trouble with the authorities at times, a problem exacerbated by the tendency of some, especially one or two members of the local press, to claim that it was a matter of racial discrimination. Given the Zimbabwe Cricket Union's eagerness to promote black cricketers and the fact that there have never been any real problems with other black players, this was hardly likely, but it is possible that cultural differences may have led to misunderstandings at times.
Others feel that because of the sensitive racial situation in the country, the authorities were not strict enough with Trevor and that their reluctance to be firm encouraged him to think he could get away with too much. Trevor himself was not willing to talk about these issues, but whatever the situation, there was no doubt that it affected his cricket. He was unfortunate in having to fight for a place in the national side when there were several other young players of similar ability around, and he felt he was not been given enough opportunities.
When it was suggested that during 2000 that Trevor had not made the progress that had been hoped for from him, he said, "I think within the context I have come along with my game. With the competition of Johnson and Goodwin there it was always going to be difficult to find a permanent place in the team, so it was just a case of taking the opportunities when they come. In the last couple of years I don't think I've had as many opportunities as I'd have liked, so I think as a result it may appear that my game hasn't developed. But I'm pretty content with the way it's going. I've been working hard on my game, and it may be through ignorance that I don't know which aspects of my game to work on, but I've been trying to work on all aspects of my game."
Trevor was selected to open in two one-day internationals against India in 1998/99, but scored only 10 and 0, unluckily run out in the second match when he received a painful blow on the hand and was understandably slow to respond to his partner's overenthusiastic call for a quick single. But he did not really look the part as an opener and was replaced by Craig Wishart, who promptly scored a century. Yet Wishart too has suffered at the hands of the selectors.
The following season Trevor was given four matches in a row, batting at number three or four against Australia and Sri Lanka, after scoring 59 in a first-class warm-up match against the Australians, but his top score was only 29. In the second match against Sri Lanka he struggled to score only four runs off 22 balls in a tight game, and this proved disastrous for his side, which lost momentum and eventually the game. He was dropped after this, to be replaced by Stuart Carlisle, who two matches later responded with a century. Trevor was chosen to Sri Lanka with the Zimbabwe A side but did not actually go for disciplinary reasons.
He played two matches for Manicaland, his home area, in the Logan Cup of 1999/2000, but missed half the programme for personal reasons. The 2000/01 season was a vital one for him to do well. He was selected for the extended tour to Sharjah, India, New Zealand and Australia, but did not appear in an international match until the fourth one-day international against India, when he was again required to open the batting with Alistair Campbell.
This time he did better, with scores of 32 (joint top) and 71 (top), the latter innings coming off 70 balls and allowing Zimbabwe to make a spirited, although eventually unsuccessful, start to their attempt to reach the target of 302. Then came four failures in New Zealand and Australia, and he again lost his place in the team. In between, though, he had made a Test reappearance in the Boxing Day Test against New Zealand in Wellington, when he scored an impressive 74 not out at number six.
It appeared he was on his way up, but tragically the first one-day international of the triangular tournament in Australia was the end of his international career, unknown to anyone at the time. It was a tragic loss of a young life just at the time when he appeared to be on the verge of a significant and fruitful career in international cricket.

Unpredictable Italian striker Mario Balotelli said on Wednesday he was capable of doing surprising things but he was not crazy.
The 21-year-old - who has produced some scintillating football for English Premier League leaders Manchester City this season - has earned a reputation for some outlandish behaviour both in Italy and now in England.
The latest episode saw him implicated in an incident at his home when the fire services had to be called after fireworks were set off inside a bathroom - he denied being responsible.
"I do do some surprising things, sometimes they are amusing, but I am not crazy," said Balotelli, who bounced back two days after the fireworks escapade to score a brace in the 6-1 demolition of city rivals United.
"When you are famous, people are interested in your private life, and it tires me to talk about this subject," added Balotelli, who after scoring in the United thrashing lifted up his shirt to reveal a slogan 'Why always me?' for which he was booked.
Balotelli, who is due to start in the international friendlies with Poland on Friday and Copa America champions Uruguay on Tuesday, attacked the English tabloid press, who most recently have linked him with 32-year-old pornographic film actress Holly Henderson.
"The English papers like the 'Sun' are worse than their Italian counterparts," said Balotelli.
"A paper who puts naked women on the front page (they are actually on the third page) disgusts me.
"In this case, I prefer Italy."
Balotelli, who said he was hoping to score his first international goal in the friendlies, expressed his hope that the mindless racist chants aimed at him during his time at Inter Milan will not materialise in the friendly against Poland.
"I chose Italy (he is the Italian-born son of Ghanaian parents but subsequently adopted by an Italian couple and only opted for Italian citizenship three years ago)," he said.
"Racism is pure ignorance, I simply hope that certain things are not repeated," he added.
Balotelli said that he had no regrets at leaving Serie A for the Premier League.
"Am I nostalgic? Not atall. Serie A has lost ground, the Premier (League) is a huge championship and I am playing for the strongest team."
Earlier on Wednesday Naples daily newspaper 'Il Mattino' had published the answers the striker had given to the judicial investigators on September 15 with regard to an investigation into the local mafia, the Camorra.
Balotelli was called on by the investigators because of a stroll he took with one of the Camorra chiefs Marco Iorio in June in the Scampia district of Naples, a Camorra stronghold in the city - Iorio has since been arrested on money laundering charges.
Balotelli said that he did not know who Iorio was and that he had turned round and left the area when he saw that there were "packets containing illegal drugs on a table".

Team Ratings
G. Buffon
Hardly tested before being forced to pick the ball out of the net after Alonso sent him the wrong way from the spot. Then scrambled across to get a hand to Llorente's deflected effort after the break and had to be alert to a couple more scrambles as Spain got back into it.
D. Criscito
Very nearly put his side into a shock early lead when he thundered a shot off the near post from 25 yards with Casillas beaten. Then played a lovely ball through for Montolivo to score the first and continued to get the better of Iraola down the wing throughout.
C. Maggio
His great stand-up cross for Cassano at the far post should have been headed home, and he regularly got down the outside of the Spanish, stretching the world champions.
A. Ranocchia
Robbed Alonso but shot wide as Italy looked to double their early lead, and thereafter put up a decent showing defensively, though he was outfoxed on more than one occasion after the break.
G. Chiellini
One great cover challenge foiled the advancing Silva, but then he was guilty of obstruction on Llorente in the penalty area, allowing Spain to equalise and was outdone by Silva late on as the visitors looked for a second leveller.
Thiago Motta
Did a good job of maintaining the speed of Italy's sleek attacks with his one-touch approach. Seemed to drop below the general pace of the game quicker than his fellow midfielders, and was replaced by Marchisio soon after the break.
D. De Rossi
Gave the ball away too easily as Italy looked to build pressure and was too often at fault for a loss of momentum as he turned in another indifferent performance on the ball, despite his reasonably effective tracking of Iniesta.
R. Montolivo
Perhaps his best game for Italy. Grabbed the first goal of the game with a wonderful chip over Casillas and continued to cause Alonso and Martinez problems at the base of Spain's midfield. Linked superbly with Cassano at times.
A. Pirlo
Dictated the pace and controlled the game early on as Italy overran the Spain midfield thanks in part to his short, sharp passing game. Less effective after the break, but still troubled the visitors from the base and was at his best when Italy looked to hit on the break.
G. Rossi
Had a couple of great chances to score, particularly went sent through down the left but he was denied by a smothered stop from Casillas. Replaced by Balotelli on the hour mark.
A. Cassano
The captain for the night turned in a virtuoso opening quarter with some excellent touches helping to keep Spain on the back foot. Denied once by Casillas' outstretched boot, he should have at least hit the target with a header from Maggio's cross just before the break.
Beaten all ends up by Montolivo's delightful chip, but did well to just get enough on Rossi's effort on the half-hour before making a trademark stop with his right boot from Cassano's shot across goal.
Not exactly helped by his team-mates to either side, nor in front of him, as Italy overran the world champions early on. Picked up a leg injury just before the break to hasten his departure.
Booked for tripping Maggio as he looked to stop the Italy man from having more success down the right after he was left wanting on a number of occasions early on. Less exposed after the break, and even got forward to cause trouble a couple of times.
Inadequate as Cassano, Montolivo and Rossi took Spain apart early on, conceding more than one opportunity when not tracking his man. Improved somewhat when his side took more control, but always looked vulnerable.
Beaten on a number of occasions as Italy made plenty of chances down his wing. Criscito was in form on the ball, and Montolivo also had joy down his flank as he ghosted in to put Italy ahead with a chip over Casillas.
Wasted a good chance when he fired well over after great work by Iniesta, but got into the game much more in the second half as Spain enjoyed a greater amount of possession, forcing a couple of scoring chances for Llorente and Silva. Replaced by Mata late on.
Javi Martínez
Overrun originally, but was able to get his foot on the ball after a while and started to have a say in the game. He failed to ever really stem the flow of Italy chances though, and will look to return to his Under-21 form next time out.
David Silva
Spain's best player in the second period after suffering from a lack of service for much of the first half. Very nearly grabbed a late equaliser after a superb deft touch saw him leave Chiellini on his backside.
Never panicked despite his side being second best early on, and his excellent run should have been finished off by Cazorla. Replaced at half-time having been given a rough ride by De Rossi.
Xabi Alonso
Gave the ball away once and was dispossessed soon after as he made an uncertain start, but he was cool enough from the penalty spot as he pulled his side level, and looked much more at ease in the second half.
Fernando Torres
Lasted only 14 minutes before he was substituted due to an apparent concussion. Just not his night … again.
