text: 19 April 1999 Heartstoppers Television Sign up for our weekly email * In the week that Brian Walden in Walden on Villains (BBC2, Friday) called Hitler "the hole in the heart of the democratic process", two heroes left voids in the hearts of television drama. ER and NYPD Blue both lost their stars. The harder gap to fill may have been created by George Clooney's departure from ER (Sky 1, Thursday; Channel 4 viewers will catch up in a month), since by its standards the series is suffering a lousy season and has increasingly relied on Clooney's lazy charisma. Initially the cleverness of ER's writers had been to use Clooney's beauty against him, to push the dreamboat in the direction of sex addiction. The pilot episode five years ago had his girlfriend Carol Hathaway (Julianna Margulies) wheeled in unconscious from a suicide attempt committed in reaction to his infidelity. Two years later, he carried another comatose date into the emergency room, this one a cokehead whose name he had failed to register. After this turning point, Ross went into therapy and monogamy and then won back Hathaway. The debugging of his sexuality, however, left his character overly virtuous, a paediatrician with only the innocent, impetuous vices of the children he cared for. A literal low point was reached when the big-screen Batman rescued a boy trapped in a submerged drain. Metaphorically, however, ER plumbed the depths this week and last in episodes that finally freed Clooney for a full-time career in cinema. Ross had to resign because he had stolen an unauthorised painkiller to speed the death of a terminal little Ricky - more of what Mark Greene called Ross's "cowboy crap". Subliminally, the message given to viewers was that ER was an ensemble show and Ross's star-turn heroics no longer had any place in it. That in reality the producers would have loved to have kept Clooney on may explain the indistinct and undistinguished plotting. The two-parter began with Ross asleep on his sofa with a stethoscope by his side and incidental music plucking heavily on available heart strings, while upstairs Ricky lay a'dying. It ended with him, stethoscope tossed aside, rebonding with his pal Greene in a park. Along the way we had the false cliffhangers of a road crash (allowing us to think Ross was being killed off), a police investigation into Ricky's euthanasia and the possibility that Hathaway would join Ross for his new life in airy Portland. Unpromising plot lines swamped in to fill the imminent vacuum: Carter had sex with his intern (shamingly, the writers turned Lucy into a Lewinsky and put her in thongs); the evil Romano took over as acting ER head; and Jeannie contracted hepatitis C ("and all this time I'm worried about my HIV"). But nothing could disguise the resemblance of this write-out to other Ross-bucks-the-system episodes, or the clumsy way in which he was stripped of his status as hero and repainted as an adolescent narcissist. In contrast to ER, NYPD Blue, rebounding from a poor last year, was reinvigorated by the dilemma of how to dispose of its favourite detective, Bobby Simone. Nothing became Jimmy Smits' role like his leaving of it. After he had taken over from David Caruso at the beginning of season two and been forced initially to act scripts written for his predecessor, Smits had two so-what histories grafted on to him, namely that he was a widower and that he kept pigeons. Entrusted with saving both his partner Andy Sipowicz (Dennis Franz) and his future wife Diane Russell (Kim Delaney) from alcoholism, Simone was left for three years without a vice to call his own. All came good in this terminal story arc, however, which avoided the obvious at every turn - starting with his means of death: when a TV cop dies, you expect him to be slain by a bullet not, as in this case, by heart disease. With the confidence of a show that takes pride in its own history, Wednesday's episode (Channel 4) featured a compilation of Simone's finest moments. Simone's first wife was named as Mary, Diane's miscarried baby was incarnated as a boy, and, in a sequence of risky hallucinatory sequences, Simone's pigeon-keeping neighbour became God preparing him for a Catholic death. Smits was allowed, as it were, to act his heart out. The finale began with his colleagues' false jollity at what the perennially inept Medavoy called Bobby's "grand departure" from the hospital after his transplant. But for once, as infection overtook, Sipowicz's sour pessimism was allowed to triumph over American television's easy optimism. In the corridors, two doctors, in an equivalent of the nice cop/nasty cop routine, argued over the increasingly officious attempts to keep Simone alive. Down at the precinct, tempers frayed. Apologies were accepted; "I understand" became a catchphrase. In the end, a series that delights in contrasting the brutality of the squad's modus operandi with America's passion for institutional euphemism met mortality square in the eye. Bobby's dying may well be the most medically explained and spiritually explored television death ever. Painful to watch, hard to get out of your head, it was an extended ya-boo-and-sucks to ER's increasingly formulaic skirmishes with the Reaper.

The cast of "Ikemen desu ne" was recently interviewed on TBS's morning show, "Ousama no Brunch".
Check out the video and translation below!
In 2009, "Ikemen desu ne" was shown in Korea, the story of an ordinary girl falling in love with the best of the ikemen, and now TBS is remaking this very successful drama.
This remake stars: Takimoto Miori, in her first starring role, Tamamori Yuta and Fujigaya Taisuke of the idol group Kis-My-Ft2, and Yaotome Hikaru of Hey! Say! JUMP.
Reporter: Everyone is holding onto a different color cushion. What does it mean?
Yanagisawa Shingo: "A.N. Jell" … "It's the name of our band in the drama."
The story is a "love comedy", which starts with the band A.N.Jell adding a new member, and this new member (Takimoto) is actually a girl who is playing dual roles as her brother and herself. Slowly but surely, the members of the band start to suspect something is up, and they all realize they are becoming attracted to her.
In order to play the role of a male, Takimoto chopped off 36 cm of her hair.
Takimoto: "I've prepared for this part with a 'towel wrap around my head' daily. I thought about wanting to be a boy before, so this is a fun part to play."
The other three, who play the part of musicians, had to learn to play instruments.
Reporter: Did any of you know how to play any instruments?
Yanagisawa: "Yeah, I knew how to play the harmonica (laughter)."
Yaotome: "I can play guitar and bass, but I've never played a drum before, so this is my first challenge at playing the drums. I practiced a lot…using fellow actors as cymbals."
Reporter to Yanagisawa: "You're not a manager, but an actor. How do you feel about playing the role of a manager?"
Yanagisawa to Fujigaya: "Why are you staring at me with that look?"
Fujigaya: "You know, we can say a lot when other people are talking, but when your own spot comes to comment…ahhhhhhhh."
Yanagisawa: "Really, this is lot of fun. During rehearsal, none of them use the script, as they all have their lines memorized. Then I thought their confidence turned into 'knowing they can do it'."
Fujigaya: "Yeahhhhh, that's what I wanted to say."
Reporter: How do you combat the heat during the summer?
Takimoto: "Playing with water. There was scene in the show where they splashed water on me. It was really cool."
Reporter: "Mr. Yanagisawa, do you have any way you plan to battle heat?"
Yanagisawa: "Me? Ah, I use uchiwa (Japanese hand held fan)…"
The Friday drama "Ikemen desu ne" starts on July 15th at 9:00 PM!
Please watch the drama!

"Croppies Lie Down" is an anonymous Protestant loyalist anti-rebel folksong dating from the 1798 rebellion in Ireland celebrating the defeat and suppression of the rebels.
This song illustrates the deep divisions which existed in Ireland at the time of the 1798 rebellion. The United Kingdom was at war with revolutionary France at the time, and Irish nationalists were encouraged by rumours that France would invade the island. The highly partisan lyrics describe the rebels as treacherous cowards and those fighting them as brave defenders of the innocent. "Croppies" meant people with closely cropped hair, a fashion associated with the French revolutionaries, in contrast to the wigs favoured by the aristocracy.
In George Borrow's 1862 travel book Wild Wales, the author comes upon an Irishman singing the tune.
The lyrics to the song begin:
- We soldiers of Erin, so proud of the name
- We'll raise on the rebels and Frenchmen our fame;
- We'll fight to the last in the honest old cause,
- And guard our religion, our freedom and laws;
- We'll fight for our country, our King and his crown,
- And make all the traitors and croppies lie down.
- Down, down, croppies lie down.
There follow several verses which depict the singers' view of the rebels as cowardly and treacherous:
- The rebels so bold, when they've none to oppose,
- To houses and haystacks are terrible foes;
- They murder poor parsons and likewise their wives,
- At the sight of a soldier they run for their lives;
- Whenever we march over country and town
- In ditches and cellars the croppies lie down.
- Down, down, croppies lie down
- In Dublin the traitors were ready to rise
- And murder was seen in their lowering eyes
- With poison, the cowards, they aimed to succeed
- And thousands were doomed by the assassins to bleed
- But the yeoman advanced, of rebels the dread
- And each croppy soon hid his dastardly head
- Down, down, croppies lie down
The fear of a French invasion is referred to:
- Should France e'er attempt, by fraud or by guile,
- Her forces to land on Erin's green isle,
- We'll show that they n'er can make free soldiers,slaves,
- They shall only possess our green fields for their graves;
- Our country's applauses our triumphs will crown,
- Whilst with their French brothers the croppies lie down.
- Down, down, croppies lie down
The final verse concludes menacingly:
- Oh, croppies ye'd better be quiet and still
- Ye shan't have your liberty, do what ye will
- As long as salt water is formed in the deep
- A foot on the necks of the croppy we'll keep
- And drink, as in bumpers past troubles we drown,
- A health to the lads that made croppies lie down
- Down, down, croppies lie down.

Blindbird is a species of Hobgoblin that inhabits the Hedge. They are scavangers and carrion-eaters. Harbingers of bad luck that appear when death is nearby.
OverviewEditBlindbirds take on the characteristics of the local avian carrion-eaters. Condors and vultures appear on occasion, especially in the dry desert Hedge, but changelings by far most often report spotting corvid blindbirds. The large, sleek black creatures typically travel in murders, and are usually espied in the distance, perched carefully on the Brambles like some black blanket thrown over a hedgerow or floating in lazy circles in the sky above. Blindbirds are named for their eyes, which universally appear to have been gouged out, often leaving burnt pits behind. Despite their apparent blindness, these creatures suffer no perception penalty.
Carrion birds have long hounded the dreams of the dying. Blindbirds manifest in the Hedge, whether as a response by the Hedge itself to such dreams or by the twisted whim of the Others, particularly in places plagued by death, whether battlefields, ganglands, cities suffering epidemics, or even the occasional hospital. Like the rats that flee a sinking ship, blindbirds are harbingers of ill omen. Many changelings believe they can sense death and are attracted to it.
Blindbirds only approach if they feel they have something to gain, most often when an individual is so exhausted they can attack her without fear of reprisal. Changelings do, on occasion, make deals with blindbirds, usually for bits of goblin flesh (eyes are the favored delicacy). The birds speak with high, croaking voices in short, clipped phrases. For reasons unknown they speak of past events in the present tense and current events in the future tense. They never discuss the future.

But on Wednesday morning at around 11 a.m., as she was out getting some exercise, Reese Witherspooon was struck by a car in Santa Monica.
More: Reese finds 'relief' in new marriage
AP reports that the actress was crossing a street and the driver of the vehicle - an 84-year-old woman, who was driving about 20 mph - failed to stop for her.
Reese was taken to a local hospital, Capt. Judah Mitchell of the Santa Monica Police Department told Access Hollywood, describing the incident as "minor."
A rep for the actress said in a statement that Reese was "not seriously injured" and was released from the hospital soon after the incident. The rep said Reese was "resting comfortably at home."
UPDATE: TMZ reports that police have ordered that the driver go to the DMV to re-take her driving test, eye exam and provide a list of medications she's taking.

My son hasn't always been the best sleeper, we've gotten into a good groove for the past year or so, with the occasional nap/sleep strike. But he's screaming, talking and crying a lot at night, and DH will go in to rub his back, and find he's still asleep. (If I go in, he wakes up and wants to rock back to sleep) He seems well-rested when we get up, but I'm not!! I can't sleep through the screams, even if he can! I'm assuming it's just nightmares, some nights are worse than others, but lately it's every night, several times. To make matters worse, he just had an injury to his mouth with some dental trauma, so Dentist said no pacifier (which he only used at sleep time), and he had to quit it "cold turkey." He's done pretty well, considering, but I'm now almost expecting that every cry and whimper will require my attention for him to return to sleep. Long story short (too late?) I'm wondering if anyone has dealt with toddler nightmares and if anything helped.
thanks, mamas!
My DD is 2.5 also and seems to have had a huge increase in dreams over the past month. She talks in her sleep a LOT, and often wakes up crying. I was thinking "nightmares" in the traditional sense at first, but then I noticed that when she wakes up crying she's saying things like "I wanted juice!!!! Mommy won't give me juice." It's very much the same type of stuff that makes her wail and cry during the day - but in her dreams. So, I'm just trying harder than ever to keep our days peaceful and give her as much autonomy as I can. It does seem like calm days beget calmer nights.

Voyeur : Jauary 2011
VIRGINBLUE 034 australian open tennis stats The first Australian Open tourna ment was held in 1905 Since the Australian Open moved from Kooyong to Melbourne Park 23 years ago, the event has grow n to attract more than 650,000 patrons in 2010 compared with 250,000 patrons in 1988. The Australian Open is staged at Melbourne Park . Situated on the Yarra River, it contains 22 outdoor courts, including three show courts, and four indoor courts. Melbourne Park is currently being redeveloped at a cost of $363 MILLION In the 2011 Australian Open tournament the women's a nd men's champions each take home $2.2 million . The finalists each receive $1.1 million as a consolation pri ze . This year there will be 367 ballkids recruited from around Australia, as well as 20 recruited from South Korea. The kids must be aged between 12 and 15 years throughout the month of January. Getting involved The journey begins with thousands of kids applying (applications for 2012 are open from 17 January to 3 February 2011). Trials are conducted at local tennis venues, with successful applicants commencing training at Melbourne Park from September to November. Ballkids attend five sessions and progressively work through numerous training drills, from the fundamentals – learning rolling techniques, positioning and skill-based practice – to servicing on a court in a live match scenario. A day in the life... The ballkids arrive at Melbourne Park one hour to 90 minutes before their on-court duties commence. They attend a briefing, receive their court allocations and start preparing. The ballkids rotate on and off every hour, dropping to 45-minute rotations when the weather is hot. When not on the court with the world's best players, they watch the matches, play games in the marquee or relax in the staff cafe before preparing for their next on-court session. The perks The highest honour for the ballkids is the chance to work alongside the best players in the world. They're in the prime location – on the court – and are the envy of all tournament staff. Working hard alongside big-name players such as Roger Federer or the Williams sisters, ballkids can experience the making of tennis history – all in a day's work. For more information or to apply, visit www.mlcballkids.com.au. KIDS ON THE BALL While the players steal the limelight at the Australian Open, the MLC Ballkids are the tournament's unsung heroes. Here's what it takes to make the grade.

New England Revolution ace Kei Kamara's Twitter rant on MLS rules
Kei Kamara has proved that he is not a man to shy away in the face of injustice.
The New England Revolution striker recently received a $1,250 fine from MLS for the heinous crime of wearing a pair of support socks that aren't included on the league's strict list of approved kit.
Kamara attempted to appeal the fine through official channels only to reach a dead end, so instead he took to Twitter to voice his frustration -- and he came fully armed with print-outs, doctors' notes and other various props.
Yes @MLS fines only KEI KAMARA $1,250 👏👏👏. pic.twitter.com/HPNYcnc7Nd— KEI KAMARA (@keikamara) July 20, 2017

Grayson County Jailer Jason Woosley was recently selected by Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin to serve on the newly formed Criminal Justice Policy Assessment Council, which held its first meeting in Frankfort last week.
Woosley joined Bevin and other members of the bipartisan council for the Governor's announcement in the Capital Rotunda on Tuesday, June 21 that the council will make recommendations for overhauling the state's criminal justice system to make it stronger, smarter, and fairer, according to a press release from the Grayson County Detention Center.
"From the very beginning, America has been a land of second chances," Bevin said in his address. "Even so, many in our criminal justice system are not given a path forward to become productive members of society after they have served their time. I believe in the importance of supporting basic human dignity. When we hold individuals fully accountable for their actions while treating them with respect in the process, all of society benefits."
Bevin became acquainted with Woosley during the Governor's unsuccessful run for the U.S. Senate against incumbent Mitch McConnell, the release states.
While running for Governor last year, Bevin made the Grayson County Detention Center a regular stop on his trips to the western end of the Commonwealth. He was impressed by how the detention center operates, especially the focus on education, positive programming, and religious opportunities, according to the release.
"I was honored at the invitation and graciously accepted," said Woosley. "I hope to help make changes for the good, and I am excited to be doing work at the state level."
Woosley is the only local law enforcement or corrections official on the council and will serve alongside Supreme Court Justice Daniel J. Venters, Secretary for Justice John Tilley, former U.S. Marshal and current State Senator John Schickel, Kentucky State Police Commissioner Rick Sanders, Bishop William Medley of the Diocese of Owensboro, and Kentucky Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Dave Adkisson, as well as members of the Kentucky General Assembly and other organizations.
The council has been tasked with examining every aspect of Kentucky's criminal justice system and making recommendations on everything from revising and updating the Penal Code to restructuring the probation and parole system and building better programs to help inmates succeed when they are released back into society, according to the release.
The council will also study changes made in other states to determine whether they could be successfully applied in Kentucky.
Over the next six months, the council will formulate a plan that Bevin will introduce to the Kentucky General Assembly during its 2017 legislative session.
"I feel that having correctional experience at the county level allows me to bring insight that others on the committee may not have," Woosley said.
The release states that as jail and prison populations are nearing an all-time high, Kentucky now spends nearly half a billion dollars on corrections per year and has the highest number of children with an incarcerated parent in the nation.

"Growing up, Mani Ratnam was one of my biggest idols" - Prithviraj
Variously described by critics as giving a "brilliant performance", and of playing the part of Dev in Raavanan "with élan", Malayalam actor Prithviraj has found himself suddenly on the radar of Bollywood audiences, eager to compare the two language versions of the film. Doing a round of the red carpet, the actor gave his support to the cast of Raavan in London, and BollySpice was there to shoot a few quick fire questions.
How did you choose the film?
I didn't choose the film, the film chose me. I got a call from Mr. Mani Ratnam one day, and met him at his office and he narrated the story to me. He asked me if I would like to do the film, and I said I would more than love to do the film and I did it.
How is Mani Ratnam as a director?
I think he specializes in putting actors in places that they are not comfortable in. Right from how you place the camera in a shot to what he would ask your co-actor to do. He would place you in circumstances that as an actor you are not very comfortable with. So what that does to you as an actor is make you look into yourself and makes you do something that you wouldn't normally do. That is the edge you will find in most Mani Ratnam films. It's really phenomenal that his actors are so unpredictable and just waiting to do something that you would not expect them to do.
So were you excited to be working with him on Raavanan?
Coming from the South of India, growing up, Mani Ratnam was one of my biggest idols. My dad Sukumaran was an actor, and he was one of the main actors in Unaru, one of Mani Ratnam's earliest films. When that film happened I was one year old, and now here I am working in this film. So to be part of a Mani Ratnam film, and for him to complement my performance at the end of the shoot, is the biggest thing that could happen to me.
What do you hope for in your future career?
Another Mani Ratnam film! In Indian cinema I don't know what else you would look forward to.
How do you like the red carpet in London?
I love London and actually I don't have a problem with the weather as I come from a part of India, Kerala, where tourists from all over the world come to see the monsoon.
BollySpice could not help but notice Prithviraj's modish suit and designer stubble. We give thumbs up to the new look! Much improvement on the earlier handlebar and primary color knitwear.

TOYOTA CITY, JAPAN ( TheStreet) -- Toyota ( TM) and Microsoft ( MSFT) said Wednesday they will team up to build a global platform for Toyota's next-generation telematics services. Telematics fuses telecommunications and information technologies in vehicles and can include GPS systems, energy management and other multimedia technologies, the companies said.
The two companies said they will participate in a $12 million investment in Toyota Media Service Co., a Toyota subsidiary that offers digital information services to Toyota customers. They plan to develop applications on the Windows Azure platform -- Microsoft's corporate cloud offering -- starting with 2012 electric and plug-in vehicles, as they work towards establishing a global platform by 2015. "As electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles become more popular, such systems will rely more on telematics services for achieving efficient energy management," they said, in a prepared statement. Microsoft shares were rising 1.51% to $26.17 following the news. -- Written by Ted Reed in Charlotte, N.C. >To contact the writer of this article, click here:

text: Jan A. BertschThank you, Kirk, and good morning. First of all, let me tell you how excited I am to be a part of the Sigma-Aldrich team. And I look forward to meeting you all personally in the near term. As reported in today's release, first quarter sales were $665 million, a reported increase of 5% over last year's first quarter and a new quarterly high for the company. During the quarter, our recent acquisitions, primarily BioReliance, added roughly $25 million to our sales, and you may recall that we owned BioReliance for only 2 months in the first quarter. Excluding the sales associated with these acquisitions, we still achieved the highest quarterly sales in our history. Our organic sales growth, which excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the benefit of our recent acquisitions, was 3%, and this was in line with our expectation. Our Research and SAFC businesses contributed to this growth at 4% and 1%, respectively. I'll comment on those increases shortly. Acquisitions, primarily BioReliance, added another 4% to growth, while changes in foreign currency exchange rates reduced otherwise reportable sales growth by 2%. Our first quarter operating income was the highest in the company's history at $172 million. Net income was $117 million, and reported diluted EPS was $0.96. Our adjusted diluted EPS which, in the first quarter of 2012, excludes $0.03 of onetime acquisition-related transaction costs, was $0.99, a 5% increase over diluted adjusted EPS of $0.94 in the first quarter of last year. 2011's first quarter diluted adjusted EPS excluded $0.01 of restructuring charges and $0.04 tax benefit from the release of some tax reserves. Our effective tax rate for the quarter was 31.6% compared to 27.9% in last year's first quarter. The higher effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 is attributable to nonrecurring benefits realized in 2011 from the reversal of an uncertain tax position reserve. We expect our full-year 2012 effective tax rate to be in the range of 30% to 31% compared to 28.6% in 2011. This increase in the effective tax rate in 2012 compared to 2011 is reflective of the higher level of reserve adjustments that resulted in the net tax benefit in 2011. These are not expected to totally repeat in 2012. Beyond 2012, we believe that our long-term effective tax rate could improve in excess of 200 basis points, given the strong business performance we're seeing in countries having a more favorable tax regime than the U.S. Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to flip-chip technology and particularly to coupling optoelectronic devices using solder bumps in flip-chip technology.
2. Technical Background
Manufacturers in the consumer electronics, telecommunications, engineering industries commonly use flip-chip technology. Flip-chip technology is starting to be used in the hybrid integration of optoelectronic devices to connect, align, and bear or otherwise support active and passive devices. Laser diode array and laser driver chips used in a transmitter module are examples of active devices. An optical star coupler, multiplexer chip, and fibers are examples of passive devices.
For example and according to the "C4" IBM process (see for example "Controlled Collapse Reflow Chip Joining", L. F. Miller, IBM Journal of Research and Development, 13, 1969), flip-chip technology involves fabricating a lead-tin Pb—Sn (40/60) solder bump generally on copper/aluminum pads located on a wafer and surrounded by a silica top layer. Silica is important because it is a dewetting surface for the solder. Therefore, the lead-tin bump stays confined on the copper/aluminum-wet pad.
Various processes and materials have been developed but the bump structure is for example composed of two main coatings on the copper/aluminum pad (Cu/Al).
First, an under bump plating coating is composed for example of chromium (Cr), copper (Cu) layers, or a combination layer of Cr/Cu. Second, the solder structure is composed of copper (Cu) and tin-lead.
The metal plating introduced between the Al conductive circuit (Al conductive pads) and the solder is an essential factor determining the reliability of the solder bump. The under-bump metallurgy, made by sputtering or evaporation, consists of a series of metal layers providing adhesion to the Al pad and limiting inter-diffusion between the bump metal and the pad. Semi-conductor manufacturers such as IBM initially developed the bumping technology in the seventies. The IBM process, considered as a standard in literature, consists of making a bump structure on aluminum pads.
The classical process for forming solder bumps is based on photolithography and involves the following steps: a) patterning aluminum conductive pads that are surrounded by silica on a silicon mother-board; b) deposition of the under bump metallurgy by sputtering or evaporation; c)depositing, patterning and developing a thick photo-resist; d) electroplating Cu pads and Sn/Pb solder bumps; e) stripping the resist and wet etching the base; and f) reflowing the Sn/Pb pins to form drops.
The wet pads formed in this manner usually have a diameter of 50 μm in diameter and the height of the solder drop is about 30 μm.
A recent trend in Flip-Chip technology consists of depositing gold/tin (Au/Sn) (80/20) solder bumps on Ti/Pt/Au pads. As the complexity of interconnection grows, there is a need for an easier, reliable, and practical process to improve the formation of solder bumps that provide satisfactory alignment and bearing properties.
One aspect of the present invention is a process for fabricating a solder bump on an inorganic de-wetting substrate by applying a wetting metal to create at least one wetting metal pad on the inorganic de-wetting substrate to form a composite substrate. The composite substrate is then dipped into a liquid solder and removed to form solder bumps on the at least one metal wetting pad.
In another aspect, the present invention includes the formation of wetting pads by printing.
Dipping of a wetting/dewetting composite substrate into liquid solder to form solder balls suitable for flip-chip bonding advantageously minimizes process steps. The redrawing of the dipped wetting/dewetting composite substrate results in solder balls having sufficient bearing capabilities. The printing or other formation of wetting pads, the dip/draw of metal drops and the desired bearing effect obtained with these drops provide a simple, fast, reliable and low cost alternative approach, when compared with the current process based on photolithography.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the detailed description which follows, and in part will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from that description or recognized by practicing the invention as described herein, including the detailed description which follows, the claims, as well as the appended drawings.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary of the invention, and are intended to provide an overview or framework for understanding the nature and character of the invention as it is claimed. The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the invention, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate various embodiments of the invention, and together with the description serve to explain the principles and operation of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a side representation of the dipping process, in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a representation of the bearing effect of the solder balls formed 113 from the process of FIG. 1, in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a top view of a dewetting glass slide printed with gold pads, as an example of the composite substrate 20 of FIG. 1, in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a profile of a mercury droplet formed on the gold wetting pad, as an example of a solder ball droplet 113 formed on the composite substrate 20 of FIG. 3, in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 5 is a profile of a squeezed mercury droplet 113 of FIG. 4 between two hard surfaces to demonstrate the bearing effect, in accordance with the present invention.
Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts. An exemplary embodiment of a wetting/dewetting composite substrate used in the solder ball dipping process of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1, and is designated generally throughout by reference numeral 20.
In general, the present invention teaches a new and easier process to rapidly form solder bumps on a composite surface having a dewetting background on which are deposited wetting pads. The dewetting background is composed of silica or of silicabased glass and the wetting pads are gold patches. According to the teachings of the inventive technique, a wetting/dewetting substrate is dipped in the liquid solder to form solder bumps used in the flip-chip technology.
Referring to FIG. 1, a process for fabricating solder bumps includes providing an inorganic de-wetting background 102. In order to form a composite substrate 20, having the desired wetting/dewetting composition, a wetting metal is first applied on the inorganic de-wetting background 102 to create wetting metal pads 52. The composite substrate 20 is then dipped or otherwise immersed into a reservoir of liquid solder 106. Next, the composite substrate 20 is redrawn, as indicated by the arrow 116, or otherwise removed, from the liquid solder to form solder bumps 113 on the metal wetting pads 52.
The de-wetting background 102 is formed from a substrate of suitable materials, such as silica, glass, silica/sillicon, alumina, or ceramics. The wetting/dewetting structure or composite substrate 20 can be produced by printing, sputtering, evaporation or other metal deposition processes. The wetting areas or pads 52 may be preferably created by printing, for example, from a dispersion of gold in a liquid medium. Other metals, such as copper or silver, are suitable for forming the wetting pads 52.
An important advantage of the present invention is that the solder drop bump formation does not require the entire complex and multiple-step processes of photolithography. When the wetting/dewetting structure is formed on the substrate 20 by the wetting metal pads 52 on the inorganic de-wetting background 102, a simple dip of the substrate 20 in the liquid solder bath 106 allows the formation of a series of solder droplets 113 having substantially the same size.
The invention describes a simple method of fabricating solder bumps by dipping. Forces, such as surface tension, from the wetting/dewetting substrate 20 and the liquid solder bumps provide horizontal and vertical alignment and positioning of the elements of a device. For photonic applications, it is important to be able to align optical components that have very tight tolerances and otherwise support or bear their weight.
Referring to FIG. 2, a composite substrate 20 that can be used directly as an optical component, such as a waveguide, or as a support for an optical component, is to be aligned with another optical component 101, such as a laser diode, located above the substrate 20 and having a corresponding solder pad 109 for mating with the wetting pad 52 of the composite substrate 20. Even though the preferred pad shape is circular, other shapes, such as squares are usable. On the substrate 20 having a composite surface made of wetting areas or pads 52 on a dewetting background, liquid droplets or solder balls 113 can be easily formed by simply dipping the substrate 20 into the liquid solder of FIG. 1. When the substrate 20 is redrawn from the liquid, the liquid solder or metal wets only the wetting areas 52. If the wetting areas 52 are sufficiently small, typically smaller in diameter than the capillary or Laplace length of the liquid solder (about 2 mm for liquid metal), droplets are spontaneously formed only on the wetting areas 52, as seen in FIG. 1, to result in easily and rapidly formed solder bumps used in flip-chip technology, as seen in the application of FIG. 2. The liquid used may be any liquid metal satisfying the desired wetting/dewetting criteria.
The invention will be further clarified by the following examples of liquid metal satisfying the desired wetting/dewetting criteria which are only intended to be exemplary of the invention.
The principle of the invention is demonstrated by using mercury as a model of liquid metal at room temperature. Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the composite substrate 20 was a soda-lime microscope slide partially coated by printing with gold pads 52 having a diameter of 500 μm. The printed slide was dipped into mercury and mercury droplets 113 were spontaneously formed when redrawn from the liquid metal.
On the soda-lime microscope slide 20, gold pads 52 were formed by typographic printing by using a pin plate. The pin plate was dipped into a gold dispersion and the drops were transferred on the slide by printing. Curing of the gold solution at 500� C. for a few hours led to the formation of solid gold pads 52 having a diameter of about 0.5 mm. FIG. 3 shows the resultant gold pads 52 deposited on the glass slide 20.
The slide 20 was then dipped into mercury at room temperature. Mercury, a liquid metal, was chosen as a model of solder, the surface tension of mercury (˜485 mN.m−1) being close to the surface tension of tin/lead solder (˜500 mN.m−1 at 350� C.). After being redrawn from mercury, multiple metal droplets 113 having a diameter of 0.5 mm were spontaneously formed on the slide 20. FIG. 4 illustrates the profile of one mercury droplet 113.
"The mercury droplets 113 exhibited a relatively flat profile, with a receding wetting angle 294,(refer to FIG. 2 for angle and bearing references) of 40 degrees. However, as the droplets have an advancing wetting angle 290 (or the contact angle of the solder on the pad) higher than ninety (90) degrees on glass, they are able to create a bearing effect 292. The ideal or optimum contact angle of the deformation of the solder bump from having an upper load applied is about one hundred and thirty five degrees from the dewetting background. This value from surface tension forces leads to the highest and strongest "spring" effect for alignment purposes. Such a desired bearing or supportive spring effect 292 was demonstrated by placing a glass cover slip 101 having a diameter of 12 mm and a mass of 0.04 g . . . ".
Supported by the sixteen mercury droplets 113, the cover slip 102 was lifted up 50 μm from the substrate 20 surface due to surface tension forces. FIG. 5 shows the bearing effect and the profile of mercury drop 113 supporting the glass cover slip 102 placed over the liquid metal droplets 113.
The series of droplets 113 supporting the glass cover slip 102 acted as a spring. This bearing effect was observed in applying a normal load to the cover slip 102, which reduced the 50-μm gap between the glass substrate 20 and the cover slip 102. When the load was released, the initial gap was restored.
Tin/lead solder bumps were formed by dipping a silicon substrate bearing gold wetting pads, having a mm size, into the tin/lead solder melt. When redrawn, solder droplets were formed only on the gold pads. More specifically, the silicon substrate bearing gold pads having a square shape of 1 mm on each side was dipped into a tin/lead (60/40) solder at 350� C. After redrawing from the liquid solder, solder drops were obtained only on the wet gold pads.
In summary, the solder bumps drop formation, including the optional printing of wet gold pads on a de-wetting background to form the wetting/dewetting composite substrate, by dipping the wetting/dewetting substrate in liquid metal, is a simple, rapid and low cost technique.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

Despite the IFA technology trade show kicking off in berlin next week, LG has gone ahead and pulled the covers off its latest handset, the G3 Stylus.
Teased at the end of an advert promoting the smaller G3 Beat a few weeks ago, the G3 Stylus was at first thought to be a rival for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 4, expected to debut at IFA, but a low resolution screen and spartan spec sheet pour cold water on these claims.
Although looking like the flagship G3 and having the same screen size (5.5 inches), the G3 Stylus has a much lower qHD resolution of 960 x 540, tiny compared to the confusingly named QHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 in the G3.
Inside, the G3 Stylus has a 1.3GHz quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, although thankfully this can be increased via a microSD card slot.
The phone's stylus is also aimed at the budget end of the market, as instead of using the same super-sensitive and accurate technology of the Samsung Galaxy Note series, the LG has a rubber-tipped stylus; this means less accuracy, but at least there will be a suite of applications to use it with.
The 3G handset will be available in black, white and gold, and has a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 1.3-mp shooter on the front.
Launching in Brazil first, it is unlikely that the G3 Stylus will make its way to Western Europe and the US, although this may change if it proves to be popular in launch countries. The price isn't yet known, but given the specs we expect it to be mid-range and significantly cheaper than the regular G3.

There are various ways to donate and be part of the preschool structure from years to come including engravings in a prayer garden brick, welcome mural and different gardens. We also have different sponsor plans toale it easier to donate.
Please visit website above to make any donations or place any orders. All order forms are on this site. You can also print order forms from this site and mail directly to school, attention Angela Davis.
The preschool will be located at the corner of Depeyster Street and Alley #1, near the current school. The building is about 7,200 square feet. It will contain three classrooms (one for each age level), and a multi-purpose room. The building will incorporate sustainable materials and will use eco-friendly building practices. It will be a showcase for environmental awareness and sustainability.
The curriculum will meet state academic standards and provide opportunities for children to experience and reflect on the natural world. The curriculum and school environment will complement each other as students will learn that conscious choices impact the world's resources.
The preschool will serve:
• Two (2) three year old classes (morning and afternoon)
• Two (2) four year old classes (morning and afternoon)
• One (1) full day pre-kindergarten
This project also provides classroom environments to enhance the methodology of learning, and even an indoor tube-slide from first to lower level. We are enthusiastic to serve the environment & community with this structure, not only by providing the best early childhood development education in North-East Ohio, but also by hosting community events in a safe and charming environment.
We believe that helping children connect to God and nature is good for both the child and the earth. Through exploration, interaction and play children learn about the world and each other.
We value the development of a classroom that works together to gain a greater understanding and appreciation for themselves, each other and the world God has given them.
Our curriculum meets state academic standards and provides opportunities for children to experience and reflect on our natural world. We believe by modeling conscious choices in the classroom we not only reduce impact on the earth's resources, but also help children begin a lifelong appreciation of sustainability.
As the design process continues forward for our new St. Patrick pre-school we welcome the opportunity to involve the Parish in our selection of the professional design team. Currently, we have secured a registered Architect and licensed Civil Engineer to assist us with the building planning process, and endeavor to recruit the following personnel:
• Licensed Structural Engineer
• Licensed Mechanical & Plumbing Engineer
• Licensed Electrical Engineer
These candidates must be engineers, licensed to practice in the state of Ohio, and share in our commitment to serve others. Primary consideration for these individuals will be given to those affiliated with our St. Patrick family.
Please contact Father Pentello or Angela Davis at school or 330-329-8240 if you or someone you know, may be interested in joining our team. Thank you for your continual support with this project! God bless!"
As part of our commitment to Catholic education and the continued future growth of the St. Patrick School community, plans are underway for the construction of a new preschool facility that would be associated with St. Patrick.
I have had the opportunity to review the plans and blueprints for this endeavor and I commend those involved for their work to this point. As school principal, I wholeheartedly support the creation of this preschool and ask everyone to support its construction. We are beginning to receive calls from parents inquiring if we have a preschool. Sometime in the not too distant future we hope to be able to say yes and I look forward to the enrollment of our future preschool class.
-Howard Mancini, Principal

Not long ago Salman Khan's sister Arpita Khan revealed Salman's look from the movie Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. Now some more pictures are leaked from the movie's sets where Salman is seen wearing pink shirt and khaki pants.
It has been reported that Salman Khan is shooing in Karjat for Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.
Talking about his character Prem in PRDP, Salman Khan once told Indian Express, "It's ('Prem...') the most difficult film I am doing in a very, very long time because it's been 13 years since I have worked with Sooraj.
Why Is Salman Khan Hiding Bajrangi Bhaijaan's Child Actor Harshaali Malhotra?
Salman Khan further added, ''I have changed so much; I'm not that pure person anymore. I have seen a lot more. It is very difficult for me to become that Prem once again. I am having all my films put together and this film separately; just to unlearn everything I have learnt so far.
''Till that time I don't get that Prem, I don't feel it here; it is not going to show on my face. It is actually once again getting me back to what I used to be." The superstar said.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Front desk lady kindly moved me to a non-smoking room after I had originally been put in a smoking room. Room was outdated with ok quality linens and an old TV. Original smoking room I was in had cigarette burns on the comforter
Our shuttle driver on Saturday morning was super great, so friendly and helpful. I wished our room key would let us in from the side parking lot.
My search was for a hotel that had an airport shuttle and a free breakfast. I don't think this hotel should have been allowed to claim that they offered these things, as the shuttle was only available for limited hours and the breakfast was inadequate. The only protein source was yogurt. There was no peanut butter available due to state laws, but there could have been hard-boiled eggs or cottage cheese. At most they should be able to claim that they serve a continental breakfast.
Close to airport We were put into a smoking room and the smell was terrible. The comforter had burn holes and so did the chair. There was construction right in front of the hotel that started at 6:45 am on a Saturday.
The proximity to the airport. The staff was generally crabby and not particularly helpful. The facilities need an upgrade and a good deep clean. Even the non-smoking floor still smelled of smoke. There was also an institutional food smell, like a hospital cafeteria. I would recommend trying a different hotel.
Easy check in. Fridge and micro wave in room. Very outdated..definitely a budget hotel . Not great value for the money, but convienently located for our use.
Very clean and friendly.
It was a 90 degrees and the a/c did not work .
Had a problem with blow dryer and it was replaced in a matter of a couple of hours. Very nice desk help and staff.

I've been wearing this jeans for over 30 years. I don't bother going through any special shrinking method. I just throw it in hot wash immediately after purchase (before wearing) and dry in hot dryer. While I'm at it I usually wash the new ones with the old ones for several laundry cycle so any color bleeding would just transfer to other 501s. it takes a few wash/dry cycles to completely shrink it, but once it's shrunk it fits me perfectly. I suppose since I don't take care to do any careful shrinking as recommended I do get some wrinkles along the seams sometimes and excess color rubbing off at such wrinkles, but that's the charm of this type of jeans anyway. after wash/dry they always go on a bit snug, but stretch out just enough to be comfortable. I'm female (yes. I fit in man's 501 better than woman's) and for pre-shrunk size, i wear 28-30. but for shrink-to-fit, I buy 28-32 as it shrinks in the inseams much more than the width. Once you figure out the right size to get the post-shrunk size, buying it just based on size has never failed me.

I bought four pairs (I lost some weight and my old jeans would not stay up!), all shrink to fit, sand, grey, black and original blue. Other than the fact that our washer uses almost no water and spins them dry, so after a stint in the dryer they came out wrinkled. But a couple more washes and they were just like the jeans I remember from college! The fit is great and my wife likes the way they hug my back side.

There are a couple different ways you can approach making these jeans your own. If you want to keep the dark color and customize the fading, then buy 1 size larger in the waist and 2 to 3 in the length; soak in hot water and hang to dry a couple times to shrink; wear as long as possible without washing, then soak and hang dry. It will take some time to soften. If you want wash and wear: for a close fit buy 1 up in waist and 2 to 3 in length; for a slightly relaxed fit go up 2 in the waist. They'll still conform to you, but may take a bit longer. I live in Alaska and hang drying takes forever in the winter. I keep a couple going in each fit. I wash everything in cold and dry on medium (perm press) at the warmest. I've been wearing Levi's 501 for more than 35 years and am hooked on the buttom fly. Started buying the prewashed, but Levi's changed the fit a few years ago and the STF seem better. I'm female and these fit better and last longer than women's jeans. I HATE stretch denim.

Order your natural waist size, and about 4 inches longer in the inseam. Cuff those legs. Wear 'em dry. And when you just can't stand it any longer, give 'em a lukewarm soak in Woolite Dark for 20 minutes. Don't wash them too often after that. You want those paint and grease stains to get set, and for those really high contrast fades to come into their own. All good things with time.
