Tin-lead has been a traditional track finish for many years because it protects the underlying copper from attack during etching and, if correctly applied, has good solderability even after a long shelf life.
A coating containing both tin and lead in the right proportions can be produced by plating the elements simultaneously.
However, this is only a co-deposited finish, the actual solder alloy being formed only when the plating has been fused, and the unfused plating remains highly solderable only for a short time. Reflowed tin-lead plating is, however, sufficiently dense to remain solderable for up to a year.
Where boards have been made using electroplated tin-lead as an etch resist, this can be prepared for solder assembly by reflowing using hot oil or infrared systems. However, the etch resist plating is usually insufficiently thick, and finishing is almost always carried out as a separate operation.
Apart from plating a thicker layer, there are two main ways of applying a tin-lead coating:
Whether plated, dipped or pasted, there is a major drawback with reflowed tin-lead, that the fused surface has a convex shape due to surface tension in the molten solder.
Based on your understanding of the printing process, what kind of problems might this lack of flatness cause?
A very widely-used method of producing a flatter surface finish on boards with devices down to 0.6mm lead pitch is 'Hot Air Solder Levelling' (HASL). The board, previously patterned with solder mask, is first fluxed and then immersed in molten solder. Whilst the board is being withdrawn from the solder pot, jets of hot gas are directed at both sides of the board through angled nozzles usually referred to as 'air knives'. These clear solder from the holes and blow away excess solder from the pads, a process referred to as 'levelling'. So as not to 'freeze' the solder coat, the temperature of the air used is usually a little lower than that of the solder bath, at around 240°C.
The process can be carried out with the board held either vertically or horizontally: vertical HASL (shown schematically in Figure 1) tends to give better hole coverage, whereas horizontal HASL gives flatter surface mount pads.
The soldering process parameters are determined by the amount of copper to be coated – thick boards, and boards with many plated holes, need a longer immersion.
The levelling process is straightforward, depending only on automatic control of parameters such as dwell times, withdrawal speeds, air pressure and temperatures.
However, the fabricator has to take extreme care to keep equipment clean from flux and solder, as debris can adversely affect the process, and the HASL process is expensive to run.
The resulting finish is adequately thin and flat for many applications, but the process must avoid the two extremes of leaving either too much or too little solder on the lands:
The surface thickness range is 2–25µm, while the thickness of coating in a hole can range from 5–75µm, and at the corner of a hole it may be <1µm. The thickness is determined by the speed of withdrawal, the hot air temperature and the air flow rate.
One of the problems with the vertical process is that one end of the panel receives a longer dwell time than the other, resulting in differences in the growth of the intermetallic which grows between tin and copper – there is more about this aspect in How joints are made. The horizontal hot air levelling systems (Figure 2) which have been developed not only overcome this problem, but they also help integrate the pre-cleaning and post-cleaning modules. These operations have to be close to the fluxing and dipping parts of the process in order to minimise contamination before solder dip, and prevent the solder discolouring afterwards.
Driven by the surface tension of the molten solder, HASL will always produce a slightly domed surface (Figure 3). Nor can HASL provide a perfectly even coating thickness, since the surface tension has more effect on small pads than large ones, and the air knives can also remove too much solder from large pad areas. Also with the vertical HASL process, there is a tendency for the coating to be slightly wedge-shaped in section.
In an attempt to achieve improved flatness for SMT pads, air knife pressure can be increased, but this tends to blow too much solder from through-holes. This exposes the copper-tin intermetallic layer at the 'knee' between hole and wall, which impairs joint quality in subsequent wave-solder operations.
This problem is made worse by long storage, as the growth of copper-tin intermetallic can easily consume the available tin at the 'weak knees', destroying solderability.
With surface mount components it is critical that the pad surface is flat and uniform, as this will affect the component placement process: there is data to support a reduction in defect rate when the solder coating thickness is consistent from pad to pad within a component type.
Fortunately, pads of a given size are likely to receive similar treatment and be of the same thickness, even if different types of component have more or less solder. Solder thickness requirements should be set according to the most critical area of the board, which will usually be in high density areas. Heavy solder deposits should be avoided, because thick solder deposits may flow and cause bridges.The thickness of the solder mask used has to be considered in conjunction with the solder specification requirement. Where a thick solder mask is used, for example, the 100µm mask typical of dry film resist, a 'well' may be formed between the mask and the surface to be soldered. This well can reduce the ability of the air blast to level the solder, resulting in thicker deposits. Conversely, the pad may lie above a thin solder mask, when the solder deposit may become very thin indeed. This effect is illustrated in Figure 4.
Typical capability guidelines for thickness are a nominal thickness of 6–13µm on critical features. Most other component features will then vary in thickness from 2.5–15µm, and the total process window for all pads and traces will be 1.8–20µm. This seems fairly wide, which helps explain why manufacturers looking for an even coat have tended to prefer other coatings, especially for fine pitch applications.
Nevertheless, the process provides excellent protection of solderable surfaces from corrosion and contamination.
How does the HASL process seek to obtain a flat uniform solder surface on a land without compromising the reliability of the assembly? What factors affect the flatness and uniformity of the surface?
We have already looked at the principal concern about HASL, that it may produce an uneven coating, leading to problems with surface mount component placement and reflow, and mentioned the 'weak knees' experience. There are, however, some other quite significant concerns relating to yield and reliability:
There also difficulties in applying HASL to boards which are either very thick or ultra thin:
The uniformity of coating is affected not only by the solder composition chosen, by the type of equipment used, and by the parameters set, but also by:
The copper surface has to be clean, free both of copper oxides and any organic contamination. Normally an alkaline degreasing chemical bath is followed by an acid microetch, which both cleans the surface and gives it a slightly rough surface to which the solder can adhere easily. The microetched board has to be rinsed, dried, fluxed and hot air levelled as soon as possible, in order to ensure good solderability.
Poor pre-clean procedures will result in defects such as exposed copper, which are normally due to non-wetting. Goodell suggests that a good indication of contamination on copper is an oxide test, where clean solderable copper areas show a uniform coating of oxide.
Solder mask residues on the pads will impact on the HASL process, since residues are quite difficult to remove once they have been deposited on copper pads.
Copper contamination has a significant effect on the fluidity of solder, often resulting in dull, thin and uneven deposits with a grainy appearance. Merely increasing the pot temperature, although alleviating the grainy appearance, in fact only makes matters worse since the copper dissolves at an even higher rate in the solder.
The Hot air levelling Users Group (HUG) has carried out a great deal of work on the issue of uniformity, using a standard test vehicle which is representative of board designs that are known to be difficult to process through HASL equipment. Boards of varied thickness were produced and sent to HUG member companies for processing. The thickness goals were a minimum of 2.5µm and a maximum of 25µm for all locations on all features, including large chips. Coplanarity, the difference between minimum and maximum thickness on QFPs, was targeted to be 500µm maximum.
The analysis showed that values for capability index1 (CP) above 4.0, which indicates the process is 'robust' and adequate to meet the specifications; average values for CPK were similarly above 1.33. It was noted that:
1 For an explanation of what this means, refer to any good textbook on statistics for manufacturing. We like John Oakland's Statistical Process Control, published by Butterworth-Heinemann, though this may not be easily available to purchase.
Comparing the HUG analysis with the review carried out in 1994 by Banerji of Motorola, which reported the consistency of HASL solder thickness on BGA pads from various sources, indicates that substantial improvements in process control had been made over the intervening five years.
Your goods-inwards inspector complains about the poor quality of the HASL-finish boards he/she is receiving. Explain to him/her how the process settings and lack of process control may have contributed to this.
HASL is a process which gives hassle! However, there are a number of users who have combined over the years to get the process to a stage where is it reliable and cost-effective. For continuing information, visit the HASL User Group website at www.huggroup.com.
You may have noticed from boards you have seen that HASL-finished boards usually have no solder underneath the solder mask. Why? And by what process route might this be carried out?
Compare your ideas with the next section.
Particularly if thick, a solder coating will remelt when the assembly is soldered, causing solder mask to wrinkle over the track areas.
Subsequently, the mask can flake off causing unsightly boards and a potential hazard at contact areas.
This problem can be circumvented by selective plating to produce an 'SMOBC' board (Solder Mask Over Bare Copper).
The most widely used method of producing SMOBC is to use tin2 as an etch resist in a conventional subtractive process, and then strip the etch resist before cleaning and applying solder mask. Solder coating is then applied just to the areas where it is needed. Figure 5 shows the process stages for solder levelling subtracted boards.
2 Tin-lead was traditionally used, because the plating could be reflowed to form a solderable surface. As that finish is now only seen on a few old military-style products, the use of tin as a replacement etch resist plating is almost universal
Solder mask over nickel (SMON) is a similar process, except that the flash plate used is nickel instead of tin. Nickel has a much higher melting point than tin, so does not have to be stripped off the tracks, there being no risk of it reflowing under the solder mask during either the solder levelling process or subsequent soldering.
SMON finish is, however, prone to a specific manufacturing problem. When the nickel is brushed to assist solder mask adhesion, slivers can become partially detached from the nickel plating, 'overhang' on each side of the tracks and other copper features that is created during the etching process, and thus cause short circuits. This is especially evident when boards are over-etched.

Bethany House has a beautiful new anthology out. It's titled, Love Is A Flame (Stories of What Happens When Love is Rekindled), with a foreword by Gary Chapman. I was honored to be included in this collection of unique and moving stories and have decided to share my story, "The Shoes," here.
The incident I write about occurred many years ago, but I'm still quite embarrassed by my childish behavior every time I read the account again. But all's well that ends well, and that's what Love Is A Flame is all about.
The Shoes
As I walked through the dimly lit house one evening, I stumbled across my husband's size-13 tennis shoes. I went crashing to the floor, taking with me several picture frames from the coffee table.
Why can't he put his shoes in the closet? I mumbled to myself. He knows I hate tripping over them.
Just then my husband yelled from the back of the house, "What's all the racket about? Are you okay?"
That did it. "No, I'm not okay!" I hollered. "Not okay at all!"
Stan came to the door and stared down at me. I could tell he wanted to laugh, but he didn't. "What happened?" he asked, innocently.
"Why can't you just put your stupid shoes in the closet, like normal people?" I grumbled, sitting up to inspect my wounds.
"Well, it might help if you'd turn a light on instead of wandering through the house in the dark," he said, smugly.
"That's beside the point, Stan. You know I've asked you dozens of times to stop leaving your shoes all over the house; they're like two sailboats. I'm serious. They're dangerous."
We stared silently at each other across the floor. Saying nothing, he reached for the shoes and disappeared down the hall. I knew they'd be back. It was only a matter of time.
Later in the week, I arrived home and discovered five pairs of Stan's shoes in the living-room.
His house shoes camped under the edge of the couch. His work shoes decorated the hearth. His brown dress shoes jutted out from under the coffee table. His high-tops lay in front of the rocker. And those abominable tennis shoes glared at me in front of the grandfather clock.
Scowling at the slew of shoes, I had a malicious idea. Starting at one end of the living-room, I placed all ten shoes in a straight line until they reached the hallway. Breathing hard, I stood back and admired my work. He wouldn't be able to get through the room without having to walk over them—or move them.
For a moment, I felt remorse. But the feeling passed and I attempted to justify my immature behavior. That'll serve him right, I said to myself. Let him see what it's like to maneuver around these boats. Better yet, let him see what it's like to have to put them all in the shoe rack.
I waited for his arrival home with much anticipation, but, to my dismay, the parade of shoes didn't seem to faze him. "What's this?" was all he said. The next time I looked, the shoes were gone. Still, I knew they'd be back. They always came back.
One day after driving my daughter to school, I returned home, made myself a cup of coffee, and settled on the couch for a time of devotion. I would try to ignore the familiar size-13 shoes scattered all over the room, but it was difficult. As I read from Thessalonians, I laughed out loud when my eyes came to rest on this verse in the fifth chapter: "Rejoice evermore."
"God," I said, half-laughing, "If you can give me one good reason to rejoice over these shoes, I'll be happy to do so."
Early next morning, I drove Stan to the airport. He was flying to Baltimore for the weekend to participate in the Houston firefighter's annual muscular dystrophy softball tournament. "Have a good time," I said, giving him a kiss at the gate. "See you Monday." He waved me off.
I returned home late in the afternoon, switched on the radio, and started preparing dinner. Suddenly, I heard the newscaster saying, "Once again, there are no survivors in that plane crash."
For a moment, my heart stopped. I sat down at the kitchen table, my hands shaking. Plane crash? What plane crash? But the news was over. Fumbling frantically with the dial, I found another station and heard the tragic details: USAir, flight 427, had gone down from Chicago to Pittsburgh, killing all passengers on board.
Shocked by the news, I laid my head on the cold table and wept. Both from relief and sadness. Even though my husband was not on that plane, I realized how uncertain life is, and how numbing the shock must be for those families who had loved ones aboard.
That evening, after putting my daughter to bed, I stooped to remove Stan's tennis shoes from where he'd left them in front of the full-length mirror. But instead of putting them away, I put them on. They felt awkward and massive on my small feet.
For several minutes, I stood studying my ridiculous reflection in the mirror. Then I looked down at the shoes. They were molded in the exact shape of my husband's feet. I knew every hump and bump so well.
No one else could wear these shoes but Stan. How would I feel if I knew my husband would never again fill these shoes? The thought was unthinkable. Somewhere tonight, a woman, without warning, was a widow. Her husband would never again wear his shoes. A chill sliced through my heart. I mourned for her.
The day Stan came home, Anna Marie and I gathered in the living-room listening to all the details of his trip; of how his team had gone undefeated in their division. And while my daughter admired the shiny, first-place trophy Stan pulled proudly from his bag, I couldn't keep my eyes off the size-13 shoes he'd dropped underneath the coffee table. Funny, I didn't wish them to be anywhere else. They were a comforting sign. My husband was home.
This story appears in the upcoming release, Love is A Flame (Bethany House) compiled by James Stuart Bell.

Epilogue: This was one of those rare occasions when it only took one prompting to change my ways. I never complained about my husband's shoes again, even though he still keeps them scattered from here to yon. I now happily consider them part of the decor.

Note: This post is long. Like 1721 words long to be exact. If you make it all the way to the end, you rock. You can come cuddle Lincoln sometime and have a cup of coffee with me. If you don't read the whole thing, no hard feelings. You can come back and read a shorter, maybe more exciting post some other time!
As I sit here writing this post, our little guy is sleeping on my chest and I'm flabbergasted that he will be a month old tomorrow. My, oh, my has the time flown by. It's hard to remember what life was like before Lincoln arrived. At the same time, it feels like he just entered this world last week. (Although with a newborn controlling our sleep schedule, sometimes a week seems to be one long, continuous day so maybe it really has only been a week ;))
Our big baby wanted his head close to his mommy's heart and hung out in a breech position for the second half of my pregnancy. Lincoln was born via a planned C-section on February 2nd. The days leading up to February 2nd were very surreal for Ryan and I. We knew that in just a few days our lives would change forever, and we both wanted to soak up the last few days of just the two of us. Carrying what turned out to be a nearly ten-pound baby takes a big toll on a mama-to-be, and I felt a bit guilty that last week for not wanting to do anything but sit on the couch. I thought we could be doing something better like going out on a date or leaving the house without having to pack up a baby and a diaper bag and change a diaper and countless other baby tasks. (Leaving the house with Lincoln takes a bit of time, but it's really not that difficult.) We spent a lot of time that last week watching our favorite shows, eating ice cream and talking, sipping coffee and doing devotions, and playing this silly little Solitaire game on the iPad together. Now that Lincoln's here we've had very little time to do any of these activities, so looking back I think we spent those last few days pre-parenthood in just the right way!
Around 11 pm on February 1st after watching Finding Dory and eating a bunch of ice cream, we packed up our hospital bag. Talk about procrastinating! The thought of having a major operation, staying at the hospital for the first time in my life (oh, and coming home with a child) kind of freaked me out, so I told Ryan that I was packing for the spa. I threw my comfiest slippers, bathrobe, and a few essential oils into the bag for good measure. While this started out as a little thought to ease my nerves, it turned into our joke the next day in pre-op as we tried to relate every procedure to what its equivalent was at the spa. This kept our attitudes positive and our wait filled with laughter.
The next morning was the big day and we both woke up long before we needed to arrive at the hospital. We had a peaceful few hours at home. Ryan sipped coffee, and I, being cut off from all food and drink at midnight, looked on with jealousy. We both did devotions, spent some time in prayer, and then watched the groundhog ceremony on the Today Show. I had never actually seen the groundhog ceremony before, so it was fitting that we watched this the morning of our little groundhog baby's arrival.
In case you're wondering, the groundhog did see his shadow.
We arrived at the hospital that day around 9 am to begin pre-operation protocol. Neither of us was very nervous; honestly, with the long wait alone in a room together it felt like just about every other trip to the doctor we'd had while I was pregnant. Over three hours we met the entire operation team and anxiously waited until the room was ready for Lincoln's birth. I drank numerous quart-size water bottles a day throughout my entire pregnancy and I recall being soooo thirsty while waiting until it was our turn. I was ready to get in and out of surgery so I could have something to drink (and meet our son obviously). Shortly before entering surgery I was given a little antacid drink. Our nurse described it as a tasting like a Sweet Tart shot, without the sweet. She was spot on on the taste, but after not drinking anything for over twelve hours, I actually thought it tasted pretty good.
The only time I grew nervous that day was leaving Ryan in triage and walking myself and my IV into the operation room. I have no idea what I thought the room would look like, but it was just like the operating rooms in TV shows: skinny table down the middle, big bright lights, everything white. I can't describe the feeling I had entering the room knowing that in just a few minutes we would be meeting our son!
Soon after surgery began, Ryan was able to join me in the operation room. He looked nervous too, and I attempted to make a joke about being at the spa again, but the words couldn't come. This was the part of our "spa experience" where our son would be born. Every part of Lincoln's birth went smoothly and within about fifteen minutes (at 12:26 pm to be precise) Ryan and I got to see our (big) little sweetie. Lincoln looked HUGE when they pulled him out. Huge, screaming, and purple. I cried. Ryan joined him over by the nurses as he was measured and swaddled up. Within a few minutes, we were snuggling our son!
The rest of the surgery went by very quickly (it actually took nearly an hour, but it flew by for us!) Around 3 pm we were cleared to travel as a family up to our room for the next few days. Baby Bolte still did not have a name at that point, but my first priority was to order some lunch. I had heard that after an abdominal surgery that I would most likely be on a clear diet for a day or two. Ecstatic does not begin to describe my emotions when I learned that I could order anything I wanted for lunch. I had myself a big old deli turkey sandwich and enjoyed every bite. I ordered this sandwich at least once a day in the four days that we were there. Clearly, I had missed my deli sandwiches while pregnant!
While waiting for our late lunch to arrive, Ryan and I discussed names. Throughout my pregnancy, we had kept an Excel document of our favorite names, their popularity and meaning, potential middle names to go with it, and nicknames associated with them. Ryan had been excited to pick a name for our baby around the six-month mark, but I was convinced we had to see our son before we could name him. Just the day before Lincoln was born we narrowed our list down from about twenty names to six names. We had four names we really liked and we each picked a "wild card" name. Ryan was so excited about having a wild card option that he went out and picked a new name that was not on our already extensive list. Anyways, I tell you all this because we were in the operating room still with Lincoln, we both thought "You look like *insert Ryan's wild card name*. So that's what we named him, for about five minutes. Then I got a bit frantic thinking we hadn't thought through everything behind this name (what if there was a weird nickname associated with it or a crazy killer with the same name or…). It was at that time we gravitated back towards Lincoln, a name that was Ryan's top pick since December and I loved too. We gave him the middle name Paul, my dad's middle name. As soon as that was Lincoln's name, that was it – he was Lincoln Paul Bolte.
Lincoln snuggled with his mom and dad a lot on his birthday. He got to meet both sets of his grandparents that night. His mom was bedridden and didn't mind laying in bed and cuddling him. His dad was a rock star dad and changed his first diaper (and almost every other diaper in the hospital) and learned how to swaddle with just a few tries (to this day, Ryan's still the best swaddler in this house). To say it was a good day is an understatement.
Other memories from the days surrounding Lincoln's birth were:
- The meal service. Seriously the bomb. Sometimes I look back fondly at our time at the hospital when I had breakfast, lunch and dinner served to me a half an hour after placing a call on the phone. And those turkey sandwiches… yum.
- Our nurses were the best. One, in particular, stole me peppermint tea from the staff lounge after discovering it was out from the patient lounge the second night we were there. Each night thereafter she brought me a hot cup while I nursed Lincoln at three am. She was just the sweetest!
- I had such a silly sleep schedule in the hospital, but with all the excitement of having Lincoln finally with us I didn't even notice. Multiple times I dozed off for fifteen minutes and woke up convinced I had been out for three hours.
- Speaking of sleep, the reclining hospital beds post C-section are the best. I wanted to smuggle mine home with me.
- Going home. Leaving the hospital to bring Lincoln home was such an exciting experience! We had thought that I would maybe be wheeled out in a wheelchair or that someone would come down to check out Lincoln's car seat, but nope! We just had to sign a paper, and out the doors we went as a family of three. I don't mind that there wasn't a big deal made out of our exit, but both Ryan and I were thinking, "Really? This is it? You're just going to let us walk out the door with him?"

Last Wednesday I rushed through the 5p hour. I washed spinach (spring greens are showing up at our farmer's markets – YAY!), cut strawberries ($5 crunch-berries from California which we have learned to enjoy), and prepped a chicken for the instant pot (I MISS NEW SEASONS). As I hurried around the kitchen I considered skipping running practice. I'd run the Skinny Raven Urban Challenge with David the night before.
The Urban Challenge is a fun Scavenger Hunt style race. It's pretty much a party at Skinny Raven, the little running shop downtown. At 6p they reveal a map marking sites close-in downtown, with a few outliers. Runners have an hour to hit as many of the spots as we can in whatever order we want. We collect a raffle ticket (or 5 – the payout at the furthest site)at each location and run back at Skinny Raven by 7p. We deposit our tickets in the great raffle big bucket and then hang out to see if we will win anything. Skinny Raven has hosted two of these events so far this summer. The weather has been fantastic for both and we've covered about 6 miles each time as we pound the streets in hopes of winning a prize – they always have cool prizes from new shoes to water bottles to glacier viewing cruise to tees and free race entries. Alas, fun memories + good exercise have been the sum of our prizes. On Tuesday night David and I stopped along our run for a few minutes to watch a moose clamber out of Chester Creek, so there is also that. And mountains and water and cute baby ducks.
So by Wednesday night I was tired and I had some new sore muscles. But finishing dinner prep, I pushed back the temptation to just stay home and instead hurried to change my clothes. I grabbed my running miscellany and I headed out the door. Sort of. I kept forgetting things and so I ran up and down the stairs 2 times. The third time to the garage I chose the elevator back up and down again. Ugh. But in the end I got it all together and headed over to Central Middle School.
I joined up with other ladies already working through their warm-up and I jogged a couple easy laps around the track. It had been a particularly bumpy effort to get to there, but I didn't regret it. Blue sky and warm sunshine softened the 60+ degrees. The track felt good beneath my feet and I was ready to work. We moved through our drills and on to the first tempo run. I was on a great pace as I rounded my third lap and looked over to the Chugach mountains rising above the city, cutting a jagged line across the sky. Oh God. So beautiful. Running. Breathing. And so very very grateful. To be in this moment. In this place.

More than 150 staff have been made redundant at a Yorkshire-based manufacturing firm which has entered administration.
John Sumpton and Hunter Kelly of EY's restructuring team were today appointed joint administrators of MTL Group, a Rotherham-based contract manufacturing specialist in the metal sector.
John Sumpton, the joint administrator of MTL Group Limited, said: "Although the company was historically profitable, it has encountered difficulties on a large overseas defence contract which resulted in losses and cash flow problems. Despite best efforts to secure new investment or a sale of the company, the immediate cash flow pressures left MTL Group unable to meet its creditor obligations and the directors took steps to appoint administrators. We are assessing our options to keep the facility operating in the short term whilst seeking a buyer for the business and are continuing to provide product to certain customers. We would encourage any interested parties to come forward."
On the appointment of the administrators, a total of 157 employees were made redundant across the company's head office and manufacturing facility in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.
The administrators confirmed that 146 employees have been retained to help with ongoing operations while a purchaser is sought.
Mr Sumpton said: "It is with regret that 157 people have been made redundant. We will work with those affected to help them claim outstanding wages and other payments from the redundancy payments office."
Any parties interested in acquiring assets of MTL Group Limited should contact the joint administrators.

Moussaoui, who is representing himself in his trial, wants to question Ramzi Binalshibh as part of the preparation for his defense.
The Justice Department's refusal to obey the court order could mean that the charges against Moussaoui could be dismissed, and his case sent instead to a military tribunal.
U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema also has lesser options, including dismissal of only some of the charges, restriction of government evidence, or a jury instruction that could be damaging to the government's case.
The Justice Department Monday, in explaining its refusal to obey the federal court order, said allowing Moussaoui to question Binalshibh "would involve an admitted and unrepentant terrorist (the defendant) questioning one of his al Qaeda confederates, would necessarily result in the unauthorized disclose of classified information."
The Justice Department said furthermore that "such a scenario is unacceptable to the government, which not only carries the responsibility for prosecuting the defendant, but also of protecting this nation's security at a time of war with an enemy who already murdered thousands of our citizens."
Moussaoui has admitted he's an al Qaeda loyalist, but denies having been part of the Sept. 11 plot.
The department's defiance is almost certain to trigger intervention by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, but not immediately. The full court voted 7-5 on Monday to deny, for now, reconsideration of a three-judge panel's refusal to step in at this stage.
However, the appellate court said it would expedite consideration of the government's appeal.
While the appellate ruling was only procedural at this point, chief Judge William Wilkins warned that the court would not blindly accept government claims of national security in the refusal to produce suspected Sept. 11 coordinator Ramzi Binalshibh.
"Siding with the government in all cases where national security concerns are asserted would entail surrender of the independence of the judicial branch and abandonment of our sworn commitment to uphold the rule of law," Wilkins said.
The government said it recognizes that its objection means the deposition of suspected Sept. 11 terror plot organizer Ramzi Binalshibh cannot go forward. The Justice Department's decision also "obligates the court now to dismiss the indictment unless the court finds that the interests of justice can be served by another action," the prosecution filing said.
If the court considers an alternative to dismissal, prosecutors asked that they be heard before action is taken. The government also asked Brinkema to postpone any action pending a ruling by the appellate court.
Brinkema has ruled that Moussaoui, who is representing himself, should be allowed to question Binalshibh via a satellite hookup. The exchange, which the government is desperately trying to stop, could be played to jurors if Moussaoui's case goes to trial.
Brinkema had concluded Binalshibh may support Moussaoui's contention that he was not part of the Sept. 11 conspiracy.
The eventual outcome of this dispute could affect future cases by deciding whether terrorism defendants will have access to enemy combatants, especially those, like Binalshibh, who are being held in secret locations overseas.
Should the courts favor a defendant's access to potential witnesses over national security, the government could decide the Moussaoui case, and future terrorism proceedings, should be prosecuted by military tribunals.
Robert Precht, a defense lawyer in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing case and currently a dean at the University of Michigan's law school, notes that transferring the case to a military tribunal completely changes the rules when it comes to the rights of the defendant.
"Once you take this out of the civilian system, all bets are off," says Precht. "All constitutional rights that are familiar to us are simply not applicable. What limited rights the military does give are totally at the government's mercy."

Gorgeous 1939 La Salle 2-door coupe was detailed to the nines! The LaSalle was an automobile product of General Motors Corporation and sold as a companion marque of Cadillac from 1927 to 1940. It was designed by the renowned Harley Earl. The LaSalle was honored in the opening theme song to the popular 1971-79 television show All In The Family. In the song Those Were the Days, Archie and Edith Bunker lament a simpler time, with the song's closing line "Gee, our old LaSalle ran great. Those were the days." After the first season, the song was re-recorded with the syllables in this line clearly enunciated, after viewers complained they could not understand the words.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Welcome to Ralph Wilson Stadium, where the Buffalo Bills conclude their preseason against the Detroit Lions (7 p.m. ET).
Weather conditions: Can we copy and paste this weather for the rest of the year? It's a great afternoon in Western New York, with temperatures around 70 degrees and mostly sunny skies. Temperatures will fall into the low-60s during the game with very low humidity.
Television blackout: The Bills were unable to sell out tonight's game by Monday's deadline, so the game is not being shown on local television. That means only the fans in the stands will get to see the game live. That may not be a bad thing: in this finale last season, Bills quarterback Matt Leinart and Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford both posted 0.0 QB ratings.
Offensive starters expected to play: The Bills are expected to play some of their offensive starters, including quarterback EJ Manuel, in this game. It's unclear if Sammy Watkins (ribs) will suit up. The defense has shown well this preseason, but it's the offense that needs to step up its game.
Live tweets: We'll be tweeting before, during, and after the game. Those will appear in our Bills live feed.
Triplette gets the call: Jeff Triplette is tonight's official.

Berwick and Hallam railway station car parking
Ms GRALEY (Narre Warren South) — My adjournment matter this evening is for the Minister for Public Transport and concerns parking at Berwick and Hallam railway stations. The action I seek is that the minister provide an update on the next steps in the construction of the much-needed new parking spaces at these busy stations. These are stations that often fill up very early, leaving many local commuters frustrated as they search for an elusive parking space.
I am regularly contacted by these commuters who have been battling to find parking spaces for years, as the previous failed Liberal government refused to do a single thing about the situation. In fact the last time parking was expanded at Berwick station was in 2009 under the Brumby Labor government. We provided more than 300 new parking spaces. Since then, we have seen the Liberals come to office, scrap the fully funded upgrade of Hallam station and do absolutely nothing about parking at our packed local stations.
These car parks were, and still are, bursting at the seams, yet for four long years nothing happened. We could not even get a toilet built at Hallam station. It has only been the Andrews Labor government that has been willing to get that done, and just a few weeks ago the Minister for Roads and Road Safety and I officially opened these much-needed facilities. They were long overdue, and the local community was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and stop holding on.
The community was also thrilled by the announcement of $19 million in the recent state budget for more than 1500 extra parking spaces at railway stations across Victoria, including up to 110 new spaces at Berwick and up to 50 at Hallam. This is yet another example of the Andrews Labor government just getting on with it and delivering for our local community.
Our community continues to grow, and more people than ever are using and relying on public transport to get to work. They deserve to have access not only to a reliable and efficient public transport system but also to a parking space at their local station. I look forward to working with the minister to deliver these much-needed parking spaces for local commuters.

Our theme this month is "Loving Our Neighbor." I felt this theme was important and timely for several reasons. First, we are now only one month away from the 2016 presidential election, and it seems this is the most contentious election we have ever faced. The campaign is breeding distrust and conflict between neighbors, friends, coworkers, and even family members. More than ever, we need to be reminded of The Great Commandment: to love God with our heart, mind, soul, and body, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. More than ever, we need to follow this commandment. At the same time, our communities, our nation, and our world are becoming increasingly diverse. We are confronted with refugees, undocumented workers, people of other races and backgrounds, people who differ from us in religion, gender, ability, sexuality, economic class, etc. I pray the daily meditations this month will help us consider who our neighbor is and how God is calling us to love and serve that person. If we can each take time to do this, perhaps we can lead our nation and world to Peace.
Using one meditation each day. Repeat the meditation with each breath, or using your prayer beads.
As you repeat it, notice what you feel and think.
What can that tell you about how you can be a good neighbor
We are focusing first on The Great Commandment. God commands us to love God with our entire being (heart, mind, body, and soul) and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

UN failed to include more women in peace talks
UN has been fighting extensively for inclusion of women at the workplace and other verticals of the society. However, what's concerning and shocking is that UN it's has failed in including more women in the peace talks. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, chief of UN Women, lashed out at a security meeting in UN criticising it for the low level of the number of women present during the peace talks even after 15 years of the landmark resolution.
The landmark resolution aimed at including women equally as compared to men in decision-making positions at all the levels of peace talks. She said in the meeting which was held on tuesday that women are "perhaps the most under-utilised tool we have for successfully building peace," reports The Guardian.
Another female diplomat, Alaa Murabit, head of the organisation called the Voice of Libyan Women accused the member states of proving non-encouraging towards participation of women in the peace talks.
"From my own experience in Libya, I know the only reliable requirement for admission to peace talks is a gun," said Murabit to the council in the UN meeting which had the highest number of members present-113.
More truth came across from the NATO Security General, Alexander Vershbow, who said that UN had only passed the resolution in 2000 because of the harsh fact that it is more dangerous to be a woman in the conflict area than to be a soldier.
But the NATO has promised that more women will now be called in for the peace talk process and requested that more should be done for women. As with the world exercising extreme violence, it will be women who are going to be at risk again.
Mlambo-Ngcuka took the reference of a global study and hinted on the still continuing hurdles that are proving to be a glitch in the low level of women participation. Lack of political will, financing, accountability and attitudes toward women are the major issues.
However, there are many positive effects that can enhance better judgement in the decision-making at peace tables with the inclusion of women like inclusion of community needs and improved humanitarian assistance as pointed out in a study as per The Guardian.

I disagree. It may not be the *best* console UI, but it's not as bad as you think. Yes, what I wrote was a massive oversimplification, but compare this: https://github.com/Rosuav/runningtime/blob/master/runningtime.py#L44 That's a simple, straight-forward UI. If you put the .py file onto your desktop and double-click it, you'll see a series of prompts, and this works on Windows, OS/2, probably Mac OS, and quite a few Linux desktops. (Although I didn't put a shebang on that file, so it might not work on your typical Linux.) How do you make something that provides command line arguments to a double-clicked-on icon? Different for every platform. (And seldom as easy as it is on OS/2.) If you run that in a terminal, you'll see a series of prompts, and it works on probably every Python implementation EVER. If you pull it up in IDLE, it'll probably work there too, although I haven't tried it. You're quite right that parsing the command line is often better for long-term usability. But you try explaining to someone how to provide args to a script. In fact, let's go a bit further: You can't assume that Python was installed in any particular way, you've been told that the OS is some version of Windows you're not familiar with (if you're a Windows expert, then suppose this is some version of Mac OS that you've never touched), and you're talking to the person over the phone. This is, in fact, very similar to the situation I was in last night, except that I wasn't even the person on the phone - my sister was, and I was in the same room as she was. Now, you have no idea whether typing "foo.py" will run it in Python, and if it does, in what version; you have no idea whether "python.exe" is in PATH; and you possibly can't even figure out how to open up a command prompt on that system. Yeah, I think [raw_]input() isn't so bad after all. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

We had 6 nights at HH. Nice and clean room but verry small for a double room. Good breakfast, great and nice people working there. There is no parking place. It is a 3 star hotel but it gets 4 for the location, in the center of the old city, 10 minutes away from the train station, close to the port amd nearby taxi and bus station.
Friendly receptionists. You have the advantage of paying the room in cash because you have a slight discount. To leave the car parked in the hotel garage is necessary to pay (I think it's 15 euros). The rooms are old, simple, spacious and with a large bed, tv, writing desk, closet and one more single bed that fits like a sofa. The bathroom is private and it was seen that it had undergone some remodeling. You have to pay more to be entitled to breakfast. Hotel situated in the middle of the best attractions. I strongly recommend
Day 1: We arrived at 4 in the afternoon; the provided room was not made up. Day 2: We came back to the hotel after a short excursion around 3: The room was not made up. Internet: free, but very slow and very unreliable, specially during evening hours; no option to pay for faster/better Internet connection Breakfast: very limited; coffee comes from the machine; if you ask you get fresh made coffee as well Location: directly in the city center, five minutes from the railway station Principe and 10 minutes from the cruise terminal This hotel is nice, but does not offer 3 stars service at all. There is lot of 4 stars hotels in the area which are about the same price. I am quite disappointed.
This is a quaint hotel in the heart of historic Genoa. The room we got had a wonderful view. The bathroom, although small for US standards, was just renovated and very clean. From the hotel you can take a nice walk to the Aquarium which is absolutely worth it. Nedo, the owner and all personnel are very friendly and attentive to all your needs. Breakfast consisted in a very full continental breakfast, with fresh croissants and other sweets, together with savory options plus fruit and cereal. Definitely a very good price/quality ratio. I would recommend it.
Took about 20 minutes from the airport by taxi in rush hour, no trains were running due to rail strike. The welcome on arrival was great, two very nice women on reception with big smiles gave me a map and lots of advice on where to go in the City. The Hotel is right on the edge of the old town with narrow alley ways. Turn right out of the hotel door and take the first alley on your right and you're in the old town with all the bars, shops, restaurants, cafe's etc.. Just a fascinating and vibrant place. The single room I had was big enough, the bathroom was clean and modern. There was only one window in the room which was a skylight high up on the wall but as the room backed onto the narrow alleys there wouldn't have been a view anyway so that was fine. Genoa is the sort of town where you'd not want to stay in your room anyway as there is so much to see and do. The Helvetia was perfect for my one night solo traveller stay in Genoa .
This place was nice on the inside. Scary from the outside. I hated the flights of stairs I had to climb to get to the room and the parking garage all the way around the corner! Overall the room was in a nice location it was great for all the sights but very congested with the locals. We stayed for one night so I guess it served its purpose. I would stay again just not with my family(kids).
I didn't choose this hotel, I went in a kind of business trip and they booked this hotel for all of us. And I am overall very satisfied with the service. I must say I was scared at the beginning after reading some reviews. But I arrived and the room was extremely clean. Mine was small, but some of my colleagues' room were really big. It is well located, although it might seem a bit far in you only look at google maps. The service is always excellent: permanent smile, always there for directions and advices, really gentle. I used to request wake up calls. One day I requested it for an hour earlier. When the usual time arrived though, they called me again because they remembered it! I guess it was the guy who does the night shift, a great one! I am also really happy with the cleaning services. It was more than excellent. Everyday my room was just perfect, and smelled very very good. I must say that on wednesday, I got the cherry of my cake. I left my pijama on the bed, and when I came back, it was folded under the pillow. Like my mum would do it. Another day, I noticed the coffee machine wasn't working well. They immediately offered me a coffee of the other machine, a great one I must add. The next day, the first machine was already fixed and working perfectly. The breakfast is fine: nothing exceptional, but you have cold meat, cheese, some croissants and other types of pastries, toasts, fruit, cakes... It was good. Of course anything is perfect and the elevator is a bit old and it isn't a big hotel with big corridors and loads of light... but the value is really good, the service is excellent, nearby the city center and Porto Antico, etc. Regarding the amenities, you have free toiletries, free water (both natural and sparkling) everyday in the minibar, free wifi, international channels in the TV... I would recommend it, and probably choose it again if I ever go back to Genoa.
Stayed here with my family in a two room apartment which was a very good size compared to some places I've stayed in Italy, the room was clean but unfortunately very loud as it was on the first floor and faced the street. The bathroom was however very small and cramped, a larger person would struggle to get past the sink,and there seemed to be no water temperature control The price was very reasonable and the breakfast good. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The free wifi worked well The location is perfect, two minutes walk to the waterfront, and located on the edge of the old town, Parking was with a company five minutes walk away, where they have a deal for €15.- per day, however don't plan on using the car after parking thee until you leave.
If you like to find out after two nights in a hotel, when returning there for your night's rest in the evening, that they've given your room to someone else... If you like to hear that your underwear and other personal belongings are tossed in a garbage bag, because the receptionist couldn't open your suitcase although he'd tried... And if you after all this like to walk ca.300 metres to the next hotel where they booked you another room... I recommend wholeheartedly the HELVETIA HOTEL in Genoa, because you can get there all the above mentioned characteristics.
I've stayed at this hotel with my university students and I must say that I find it terribly convenient. The people at the reception desk are always very helpful and full of kind advice. The rooms are not modern but they are clean and well warmed up. Breakfast is nice and rich though they serve only cold food.

City Manager Robert Layton and his staff will present the final four strategic planning studies during a Tuesday workshop at City Hall.
The workshop will follow Tuesday's regular 9 a.m. Wichita City Council meeting.
The final four topics include water supply planning, passenger rail, affordable housing and pavement preservation.groundwater recharge and recovery project
Another involves completing the two remaining phases in the recharge and recovery project, at an estimated cost of at least $300 million.
Wichita is seeking up to $3 million in Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant funds to complete environmental studies on the Heartland Flyer route connecting Wichita with Oklahoma City on the I-35 corridor. The plan would close a 185-mile service gap from Oklahoma City to Wichita and could potentially connect the Heartland Flyer with the Southwest Chief, which now stops in Newton on its way to Kansas City.
Completing the environmental study would produce a "shovel-ready" project, making the return of rail service to the area eligible for more federal funding.
Both would answer another problem the council wants to address: the damage to neighborhoods created by lots vacated when substandard housing is removed but not replaced.
Tuesday's workshop is the second in a two-part series designed to give council members a price tag for what they consider necessary city improvements.
Last week, council members got a price tag of a little more than $800 million for an economic development fund, quality-of-life improvements to the city, improved bus service and a roof for every homeless Wichitan.
Plans call for decisions on the eight studies by the end of this month.
