A lighting vendor says Dallas taxpayers stand to loose hundreds of thousands of dollars in overpriced equipment for a park project scheduled for City Council approval Wednesday.
The Elm Fork Athletic Complex along Walnut Hill Lane west of Stemmons Freeway has been in the works for about seven years to add much-needed soccer fields in Northwest Dallas.
Seven contractors bid for the job -- which includes extensive lighting -- with the lowest offering to do it for $11.7 million
Mike Kiker, of Qualite of Texas, said the city would pay about $600,000 more than it would if his company's lights had been used for the job.
"In the environment that we're in, in shortfalls and budget concerns, the taxpayer needs to know that there's wasteful spending going on such as this," he said.
A rival vendor aided city officials in planning the project. Kiker claims that the cooperation resulted in lighting specifications that no other vendor could meet.
"They used technical attributes of a single manufacturer to lock everybody else out, allowing that particular vendor to control the project," he said.
But city officials denied that the vendor's involvement excluded competitors from offering similar products.
"He claims that he could match them, but yet, no contractor submitted a price with his product," said Assistant Parks Director Willis Winters.
Winters said the city was concerned about the warranty, longevity and energy efficiency of the lighting. The successful vendor provided the best overall deal for taxpayers, even if the initial cost is higher, he said.
"They'll replace the bulbs, furnish the bulbs over 25 years," Winters said. "It's a great deal for the city of Dallas."
The project appears on the addendum of Wednesday's Dallas City Council agenda.

Snow removal heaps on complaints
FARGO - Piles of snow on boulevards, rutted ice on side streets, ice and snow-covered sidewalks.
It's been a winter of frustration. Just ask Karen Friese.
The home day care provider says the sidewalks and streets in north Fargo's Golden Ridge neighborhood are an icy, dangerous mess.
After her 13-year-old daughter recently separated a shoulder and hurt an elbow when she fell on a neighbor's icy sidewalk, she said she's even contemplating suing the city.
"This is a 13-year-old child. She shouldn't have to walk in the street to get to and from her bus stop," Friese said.
She's not alone in her frustration.
Homeowners and businesses throughout Fargo have complained about high snowbanks, snow-narrowed streets, icy ruts and sidewalks that are like winter obstacle courses, said Operations Manager Al Weigel.
Similar issues are being seen in Moorhead, though Public Works Director Chad Martin said the recent respite in snow is helping his crews clean up in residential areas.
"I think, this year, we had such a lot of snow in the beginning," Weigel said, which makes it tough to find places to put it.
The downtown area, cul de sacs, and arterial streets have been cleared, he said. Now residential areas are being tackled.
But moving snow is a job where no good deed goes unpunished, Weigel said. As city workers clear streets curb to curb, snowbanks grow higher and the excess fills in sidewalks or buries fire hydrants.
"We get as many complaints for widening as not widening," Weigel said. "It's a really touchy situation."
Weigel said drivers will just have to "take it easy" in residential areas and drive for the conditions.
Martin said he's caught in the same bind as Weigel when it comes to clearing snow and ice from residential streets. But the break from heavy snow and cold is allowing Moorhead crews the time to move snow out of residential areas before winter's next blast comes.
"They're doing some hauling in the residential areas, which we haven't done in the past ... not for quite some time, years and years, since 1997," Martin said."
Icy sidewalks are policed on a complaint basis.
Anita Burnside, who investigates sidewalk complaints on Fargo's south side, said she and a north Fargo inspector have inspected 500 to 600 complaints for icy or snowy walks this year. About 50 property owners have failed to clear their walks and ended up having them done by city crews, she said. The minimum charge is $75.
She warned property owners that they, not the city, are liable if someone falls and hurts themselves on a snow- or ice-covered sidewalk on their property.
Mary Schmitt handles sidewalk snow complaints and dispatches inspectors in Moorhead. She said complaints averaged six a day at the end of December and in early January. This week, she's had two complaints.
Schmitt said if the homeowner or renter won't clear their walk, the city will hire a crew to do it. The homeowner or renter is charged the cost of the service and a $100 administrative fee.
For street and sidewalk complaints, Weigel said Fargo residents can call the street department office at (701) 241-1453. Complaints about snow on sidewalks at specific homes or businesses can also be e-mailed to email@example.com.
In Moorhead, sidewalk complaints can be registered by calling (218) 299-5434, and street complaints at (218) 299-5422.

"Never got my item...LOST IN SHIPMENT!! I spent over $350.00 still waiting on refund!!"
"Just finished a terrible experience going through my bank to reclaim money delivered for goods that were never rendered.
The customer service simply does not exist, and in the unlikely event that I did get in contact with them, I was assured that they would reach me with a resolution by "tomorrow". After 2 months without receiving the speakers I ordered, I opted to involve my bank in the matter, who has since reclaimed my money.
Looking through their forums, I saw several users relate experiences almost identical to mine: expected shipping date emailed out with the status of "electronic details submitted," and the order never progresses beyond that stage. Said posts are mysteriously deleted the next day. The whole issue stinks of a scam.
You are discouraged from doing ANY business with Bytewize."
"Store seems unable to deliever what they sell in a prompt manner.
Given several different shipping dates and when each passed then i am given a new one saying again that is has already shipped. Store hours seem unrelable as when ever i have called there during working hours no answer and/or the store hours are changed from the website or closed without proir notice.
My order was incomplete, and one item was missing parts as well (A DFI Motherboard) and looks used or perhaps was a restock, and OCZ Ram which was not in the box at all.
I paid for a new MoBo. :(
Support is lacking for these problems, they told me to deal with DFI on the MoBo, (which I telephoned, they (DFI) says it is a vendor issue, not RMA able. So I am out my purchase money. :( Not a very good experience, out almost 700 bucks and nothing to show for it.
Have been told we will call you/email you by tech support (when you can get them) without any follow on these problems.
Reference MoBO I got the message I am stuck with it as is now, nothing I can do about it. And The ram seems to be a "tell him we will call him back after we talk to OCZ about it." with no response
These are special order parts so RMA to vendor seems unlikely ( based on my live chat today).
The delays an lost money make it so I cannot build/finish my PC.
Not happy at all
Update July 2007 still in a chat room trying to get my missing parts , i get a song an dance everytime i try. Still unfilled order. Am so stuck.
"I purchased a tv-tuner card from these guys on february 16th 2007. They were quite a few bucks cheaper than the bunch I usually deal with (NCIX). Paid via Mastercard only to recieve an email a few hours later stating that the were in the process of changing card processors and that Mastercard was not a payment option. Used internet money transfer instead. Recieved confirmation from my bank that transfer was accepted by bytewize computers. Then I waited... March 8th come around and still no aknowlegment from them saying they recieved my money and most importantly, no card. I called them up and they confirmed that they had recieved my money. The guy said he was going to call the supplier and get back to me via email by the end of the day with details. Of course, no email. The next day i get on their online chat and the guy there gets in contact with the supplier where they tell him that they had a mix up and the card never got shipped. He then tells me that they don't make the card anymore and the card they have in place of it is $160! The card i ordered was that much with tax and shipping added! I couldn't believe it... NCIX is selling THAT card for cheaper than these goofs. I called the guys back and told them that wanted my order cancelled and he said he would send it along to accounting and I would get a refund... that was before i found this site... I have a feeling i'll be calling them again before I get my money back :P
"Don't walk... run from this web-site! Everything the previous reviewers have said is true. It may seem like a big store, but I suspect just a few people run it as they never return calls, don't answer emails, and make up conflicting stories about the status of your order. On top of it, they hide crucial insurance information about shipping to the U.S. in the bowels of their site where no consumer would ever look . Bottom- line is I spent 467 dollars for memory and they cannot prove to me that they sent it and they did not insure it as they said I chose the wrong shipping plan ("small package air service") to ship the memory. Total scam... never again!"
" I have ordered TuneCenter Home Media Centre For IPod on 16 of January , 2007. My understanding was that it will be delivered within 3 days, as stated in a confirmation email. Yesterday(8 days later), around noon, I have contacted chat help person asking about the status of my order. That person replayed that supplier will be contacted and response will be send to me via email.
Today(9 day later) I don't have any information in my email, and of course my order isn't delivered yet also. Telephone support is not working, chat isn't open yet, and my email was returned with message: Recipient's mailbox is full, message returned to sender.
Avoid this company.
I've ordered from them in the past and not had any problems although now I suspect something is up.
On november 20 I placed an order for an Asus motherboard and corsair ddr2 ram. The motherboard said it was in stock and would ship within 24 hours or so. The ram said it is usually shipped in 2-3 days. I elected to have express shipping through canada post and payed $31 for it. I expected to recieve the order in about a week. However after placing the order on sunday I never heard any responses back other than that the order was recieved. Come friday(nov 24) I contacted the live help operators and they said the shipping manager was going to email me regarding the order, I did not get an email. The following day (nov 25) I recieved an email from canada post saying that my order was shipped. It was shipped expedited parcel not expresspost as I had payed for. The item was recieved friday dec 1. Upon recieving the package I discovered the ram was not included in the order. I contacted the live help operators and they informed me that the ram was shipped out just after the motherboard. As of dec 8 I have not recived the memory yet, or any tracking information regarding the 2nd shipment.
This order has been somewhat frustrating for me as I decided to purchase from bytewizecomputers becasue they apparently had the items I wanted in stock and were cheaper than NCIX. I elected to get express shipping and once only one of the items shipped out it was not with express shipping and took 6 days to recieve.
Whats really bothering me now is i emailed them 5 days ago about the situation and havn't heard anything from them. In addition the live help feature has not been available for over a week. I guess another thing i should mention is that i payed for the items using email money transfer, and i'm not sure if i have any way to get my money back."
" Well I never received the memory that was on this order, numerous phone calls and emails to request my money back, were ignored, until I told them that the credit card company would get involved. Eventually got paid after being told by Paypal that there was insufficient funds in that persons (either owner or employees account). There was no need to go through all this hassle to get a refund. I was happy with the order but they never or could not ship. Needless to say I won't be doing business with this company and yes I have documentation on the whole transaction"
"So far, everything has been fine for me with Bytewize. I haven't received my order yet, but I will update this when I do. Here's a timeline of my purchase:
Nov. 7th : Preorder a GeForce 7900gto from MSI.
Nov. 7th : Receive confirmation email.
Nov. 7th : ETA on the 7900gto is for Nov. 12th.
Nov. 9th : Receive email containing shipping
information. This really impressed me seeing as how my order isn't even shipped yet.
Nov. 10th : I checked the Bytewize site again today to see if anything changed. It appears they have already received their shipment of 7900gto's. If so, that would make it 2 days early.
Nov, 15th: I received my card today. Everything went perfectly.
my experience with Bytewize has been excellent. A+ from me."
"I have purchased from Bytewize on a few occasions and until my most recent order, I was generally satisfied with their service. This was despite the fact that I don't recall a single instance in which an item which was advertised to "usually ship within 24 hours" was actually shipped on time. Time to ship my orders varied between 4 days and nearly two weeks.
My most recent experience with them was the most negative. The order I placed on October 10 was received on October 20, which was unusually prompt compared to my previous orders. Upon opening it however, I discovered an item was missing. I immediately informed customer service by email. It took until the 23rd to receive a reply from a Mr. Michael Gencarelli, who informed me that the missing item was shipped from an alternate warehouse, and that he would investigate the following day. After receiving no updates, on October 26, I sent an email to Mr. Gencarelli asking if he had made any progress on the issue. After again receiving no reply from him by November 8, nearly a month after my initial order, I sent an email to Mr. Gencarelli and the customer service department offering to reverse the charges on my credit card if it would provide them an incentive to communicate. On November 9 my missing item was finally shipped with an apology and explanation from a Mr. Ryan Donovan that they'd had stock issues that their supplier had not informed them of.
This experience soured my opinion of the company. Not because of the missing item itself since mistakes occasionally do happen, but for the lack of timely response to my repeated requests after they were initially informed of the problem. I haven't been particularly inclined to use them since."
"In my concern Bytewize is one of the easiest Retail Website to surf in and to offer a good variety of products with fair prices. Plus, I don't hesitate to mention that the purchasing secure section is very accurate and simple to walk through. I had always received a very good and prompt delivery service with all my purchases at a very good price. If there are something not listed on there website that I want, I usually ask for it and most of the time the sales team find it at a fair price compare to the web availability of the market.
I really feel that they are doing there best to give a personal service to there customers.
I build my own PC's and I make sure before making my order that all the parts work well together by reading PC pro's review. That way I don't have incompatibility problem.
To contact them it is very easy, by phone, E-Mail or Live Help chatting.
Has a conclusion I will say that they should improve a bit more there website on the future but if you ever shop on the web you'll notice that Bytewize is one among the good one.
"My first purchase from this store and I must say everything went very well."
"Worse outfit I ever dealt with online - bda attitude and no customer service - poor and unfriendly website that led to wrong product being purcahsed and they refused to do anything about it unless I paid all the shipping costs(3x) back forth plus full price on the right product. Would never buy from them again!!"
"Very good experience with purchase this time and every time in the past that I have dealt with Bytewize. They will go out of their way to help you find exactly what you are looking for and their prices are very competitive. I received this last purchase quickly as usual within 3 days. I look forward to future purchases with this company and great prices, shipping and customer service."
"Very good communication, prompt reply to e-mails and competative pricing"

On estimating firm-level production functions using proxy variables to control for unobservables
In the common case where polynomial approximations are used for unknown functions, I show how proxy variable approaches to controlling for unobserved productivity, proposed by Olley and Pakes [Olley, S. and Pakes, A., 1996. The dynamics of productivity in the telecommunications equipment industry. Econometrica 64, 1263-1298.] and Levinsohn and Petrin (Levinsohn, J. and Petrin, A., 2003. Estimating production functions using inputs to control for unobservables. Review of Economic Studies 70, 317-341.], can be implemented by specifying different instruments for different equations and applying generalized method of moments. Studying the parameters within a two-equation system clarifies some key identification issues, and joint estimation of the parameters leads to simple inference and more efficient estimators.

Authorities say a bride who was killed in a Hudson River boating crash two weeks before her wedding died from drowning and head injuries.
The bodies of Lindsey Stewart and Mark Lennon, who was her groom's best man, were pulled from the Hudson River over the weekend. The Rockland County medical examiner's office said Lennon also drowned but had minor injuries.
They were on a speedboat that collided with a moored construction barge near the Tappan Zee Bridge Friday night.
Stewart was set to marry Brian Bond, who was hurt in the crash, on Aug. 10.
Instead, her funeral is set for Thursday at the church where she was to be married.
A funeral home in Pearl River said the service will be held at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.
The pilot of the boat, Jojo John, has been charged with vehicular manslaughter in Stewart's death, and other charges. He is described as an acquaintance of the couple and authorities say there was probable cause he was intoxicated.
His lawyer has not returned a call.

* Prices may differ from that shown
If you're looking for a new stereo system and 'simplicity' is the key word, then Aiwa's XR-M78 could be right up your street. There's no iPod dock in sight, just a good old fashioned CD player and radio tuner. Having owned a number of Aiwa devices in my time, I've come to realise that the brand offers very good value for money - but how does the XR-78 perform? In terms of the price, I paid £69 for the stereo around six years ago, but I've seen ones sell on eBay recently for under £20.
Design & Appearance
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Design wise, the XR-78 takes the standard boxy micro-system appearance and measures 144 x 170 x 280 mms. It's a size which allows the device to comfortably sit on a bookshelf or other tight crevice where a larger system simply wouldn't fit. The speakers are made from a light-coloured wood effect material and covered with pale green fabric - panic not, if green isn't your colour then the speaker covers can be removed (via a gentle pull) revealing a silver interior. CDs are entered into the top of the unit via a lid which opens at the touch of a button, and closed in a similar manner. The front of the device features the display screen, and also a series of buttons which illuminate to show the user which mode the player is in (CD, Radio, or Auxillary). To use the radio you'll need to attach the included MW/LW wire loop to the back of the unit.
Features & Sound Quality
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It should be pointed out straight away that if you're a fan of cutting edge features on your stereo, the XR-78 won't be for you - it's simply a what-you-see-is-what-you-get device with little in the way of gimmickry. In terms of special features, well, the XR-M78 doesn't really have anything of note except for a low power standby mode. When it comes to the basics however, the stereo features everything you would expect including repeat, random, and timer play. The success of any stereo system hinges on its sound quality, and I'm pleased to anounce that for its size, the XR-78 returns impressive results. There are three sound presets (Pop, Rock, and Jazz), each specifically tailored to the aforementioned genres. There's also a "T-Bass" mode which increases the frequency of the low-end sound, and a "BBE" mode to clarify the treble. To be honest I leave T-Bass off, as by default the stereo's bass is deep anyway) and any extra boost isn't necessary.
Final Word
- - - - - - -
Although dated, Aiwa's Micro System is really easy to use, has a decent sound quality, and offers very good value for money. The downsides include the fact that you can't tinker with the sound beyond the three selectable presets - but that will be little concern to those who are paying under £20.

I drive a SUV in Uganda, so when my sister's boyfriend loaned me his diesel pick-up while I was in the United States recently, I thought I could manage it just fine. The very first time I put fuel in it, however, I made a big mistake: I topped off the tank with high-grade gasoline instead of diesel.
A string of unpleasant and expensive consequences resulted. First, I drove only 10 meters away from the gas station before the truck conked out. Then, an emergency road service had to haul the vehicle to a mechanic. To run again, the truck had to undergo an extensive detox that entailed siphoning the fuel and flushing the gas tank, hoses, filters, and injectors.
It was a costly mishap, but one that caused me to be more careful in selecting the type of fuel I put in vehicles. The incident also prompted me to consider the sources of strength (or weakness) that I allow to enter my heart.
In the Old Testament, God at times directed the use of unusual alternative energy sources that included "the wood of the Asherah pole" (Judges 6:26), "dried human dung" (Ezekiel 4:12), and even the plunders of war such as "small and large shields, bows and arrows, javelins and spears" (Ezekiel 39:9). A person's emotional strength, however, came from things that brought comfort such as the birth of a child (Genesis 21:6-7), a visit from a beloved son (Genesis 48:2), or encouragement from a friend (Deuteronomy 3:28). Spiritual power, however, was derived from God alone—lest people took pride in their own "strength and energy" (Deuteronomy 8:17) and forgot that only the Sovereign Lord can perform "great and mighty deeds" (Deuteronomy 3:24).
Today, consider from where you derive your "fuel" and remember what Isaiah 40:31 says, "Those who trust in the Lord will find new strength."
NLT 365-day reading plan passage for today: Acts 22:30–23:22
Reread Exodus 15:1-21, a "Song of Deliverance." How has the Lord's strength provided deliverance for you recently?
When has drawing from a wrong power source left you feeling depleted? How can you change your "fuel" intake so that your life truly honors and glorifies God?

The demo for Naughty Dog's The Last of Us is still a ways away. The developer revealed today that the trial version of their PS3 exclusive will be arriving at the end of May.
God of War: Ascension owners will get early access to the demo. The in-game menu of Ascension features a countdown menu for the demo's release. IGN crunched the numbers and realized that the countdown will end on May 31st at 9 am PST.
Naughty Dog confirmed via Twitter that the demo will be available for Ascension gamers on May 31st. The full game is due on June 14th. That gives those players a good amount of time to putz around with the demo.
It's not clear how long the early demo access for God of War: Ascension owners will last. We'll probably have to wait awhile to find out. After all, Sony is using the promise of early access as a purchase incentive for Ascension. That incentive would be blunted if players knew that they could get the demo just a few days later by not buying that game.

Summit Entertainment
Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr Addresses Ed Westwick Assault Accusers: ''Are They Stretching the Truth?''
Summit Entertainment
With Breaking Dawn Part 1 only three weeks away, we think it's only right for us to do a close-reading of the scene we've all been waiting for. You know, when Bella and Edward get all sexed up on the honeymoon! Holy broken beds!
Now, maybe you're a hard-core Twi-hard, or maybe it's the only reason you're seeing the vamp fest. Either way, we know you've been wondering—how the hell does Edward Cullen get it up?
Let's break it down...
Vampires have blood, which is what's used to fill those erections generally required for sex, in their system only after they've hunted and sucked their victims dry. Everybody knows that. We also know that whatever Edward hunted was some strong stuff because if the new B.D. trailer is any indication, we're talking earth-shaking, headboard-busting vampire sex.
Don't buy that theory? Fine. Let's talk venom.
Instead of blood, vampire veins can sometimes flow with venom. And if venom holds the power to turn a human into a vampire then let's be real, it can probably give the youngest Cullen a major hard-on.
We can only imagine what the Cullens were taught in Vampire Sex Ed, but maybe Edward should have paid closer attention, because the sparkly vampire went and got his new wifey seriously knocked up. How?
All vampires were once humans, and their body's state when they made the change remains. Read: Edward ain't shooting blanks and Bella still has the eggs for them to make a nice little half-mortal, half-vampire spawn named Renesmee.
But the point remains: What the hell powered Eddie's johnson so he could gift Bella with his all-powerful seed?
A vampire implant of some kind? No, this is sophomoric Stephenie, remember, not archly gifted Anne Rice, so your guess is as good as ours.
Which theory do you buy? Sound off in the comments!

Last week, TCO Development granted Samsung's Galaxy S4 the organization's first ever sustainability certification for smartphones. The certification is important for Samsung and the overall smartphone market for several reasons. First, as smartphones proliferate and accomplish everything from reducing usage of laptops to helping alleviate poverty in emerging markets, the world's resources necessary to manufacture them, from rare earth metals to petroleum, will become more constrained and difficult to procure. Furthermore, consumers are becoming aware of the social cost resulting from their assembly, as last year's Apple-Foxconn saga clearly demonstrated.
And for Korea, the Galaxy's S4 certification shows the country's leading manufacturers have not only turned this tiny Asian company into a technology powerhouse, but a compelling sustainability laboratory. But will consumers really care, or even notice?
What was interesting about this announcement is while Samsung's corporate site in Korea posted the news, the company's mobile site made no mention of this milestone. So this announcement is more of a shot in the arm for TCO as it attempts to broaden its sustainability standards' reach. Samsung, which is rapidly eclipsing Apple as the market leader (and not just in the Galaxy S4 vs iPhone 5 race), has not shown any evidence it is ready to embrace and own up to the fact that its popular phone scores fairly high as a responsibly-and sustainably-designed mobile device.
So what is a sustainable smartphone anyway? TCO surveys companies on a bevy of parameters, from hazardous materials to its eventual recycling potential and even visual ergonomics. Companies are also queried as to whether their smartphones' surfaces release nickel, an allergen, as well as whether the company provides a headset. To that end, TCO lauded Samsung for manufacturing the S4 without the use of hazardous materials including mercury and beryllium, as well as its overall design–and, of course, the efficiency of its power recharger.
Nevertheless, despite their rapid adoption, a focus on sustainability is still missing from the smartphone market. Go to any sustainability-themed event or conference, for example, and you will see iPhones everywhere despite all of last year's controversy involving Apple (full disclosure: 3p's staff and I mostly use the iPhone). Consumers are still smitten with their performance and caught up in the technology race between Apple, Samsung and other providers; therefore, for the immediate future at least, do not expect TCO to pick up much traction.
Yet, this is where Samsung can show some leadership and egg on Apple, Motorola and other manufacturers to get their act together and work on improving their phones, while mitigating their effect on society and the environment. It is not that consumers do not care–they are just not educated. And here is where Samsung could find an opening and pull away from the rest of the pack if they counsel consumers on the benefits of purchasing the best possible smartphone that leaves behind the smallest social and environmental impacts.

Paldabum was very bright and devoted. she asked Milarepa many questions. She wanted to combine Dharma with her daily life.
Lady Paldabum: "In daytime I have to work, at night I sleep, in the morning and evening I need to cook. I am a servant to all these tasks which are filling my life. I really want to practice. How to do? Can you give me advice?
" Look to the mountain! That one is unshakable. Like that, train in being like the mountain what is steady and stable."
"Look at the sun and moon. Even sun and moon are sometimes covered by passing clouds, the sun and moon themselves never change. Their brilliance just is their nature, not increasing or decreasing. Be like the moon, be like the sun then there is no waxing or waning."
"Look at the sky. Sky, space is not something made out of anything. Space its nature is empty. There is neither edge nor center."
"Look at the big lake! Even there are many ripples, the water itself remains unwavering. Be like the water and remain unwavering."
"Mind is the most important. Settle into your own being and look to mind. Without following thoughts and carried away by them about this and that and so and not so; remain steady and meditate."
Lady Paldabum: "What when on the mountain plants grow, what when the moon and sun are eclipsed, what when in the sky many clouds are or huge waves appear on the lake? What should I do?"
Milarepa: " Plants, trees arise, dwell, cease naturally on the mountain, they don't harm the unshakable mountain.
The sun-moon eclipsing is temporary while the brilliance of the moon and sun are without change.
Whatever which weather in the sky appears, it is nothing more then its' display, the sky itself is unchanging.
There is no wave, existing separated from the lake. Like those waves, thoughts aren't separated from the empty cognizance of minds' nature. The empty cognizance just appear as thought in all kinds of expressions. But no thought has a separated identity."

Making U.S. Energy Policy FiT
Despite the rapid growth of renewable energy in the United States, pro-renewable policy support in the country is erratic. The industry is plagued by expiring tax credits, shifting policy landscapes, and delayed permits. This means that the renewable energy industry does not have a fighting chance to grow and impact the way we responsibly produce and consume energy. But there is a solution, and all we have to do is look across the pond to find it.
As Congress Mulls Keystone XL Pipeline, States Champion Renewables
While the House hones in on its flagship energy issue for the new session, attention on the Keystone XL pipeline detracts from a number of other significant developments in our quest toward a more vibrant economy.
Fueling America: Imperium Renewables and the Biodiesel Industry
All it takes is some vegetable oils and animal fats to power a diesel engine. This may sound absurd, but it's actually what ACORE member Imperium Renewables does every day. And that's a good thing: biodiesel reduces greenhouse gasses by more than 50% over petroleum diesel. Plus, it's much more price stable than notoriously variable fuel prices, and it puts Americans to work generating domestic energy. Even so, the industry faces challenges.
An Oasis in the Desert: Geothermal Energy and the Salton Sea
Washed up tilapia carcasses litter the pearly white shoreline. A carelessly placed sign reading "This Park is Closing Due to Budget Cuts" welcomes visitors to the Salton Sea State Recreation Area. It is the worst nightmare of every environmental agency. This is the state of affairs that the Salton Sea, a body of water stretching from Riverside to Imperial County, is faced with. In 2012, a rotten odor attributed to the decaying fish from the sea had people from southern California holding their breaths. Combined with rising salinity and falling water levels, the Salton Sea is confronted with its toxic fate: to drain out.
Renewable Industry Wraps Up A Great 2014, But Future Of Tax Incentives Is Murky
Even though the year-end numbers haven't rolled in yet, there's no question that 2014 was another banner year for renewable energy. Renewables made up nearly half of all electricity capacity added in the U.S. last year, and the American wind industry has over 13,000 megawatts currently under construction despite some seriously destructive policy uncertainty.
ORC Heat Recovery Saves Money for Caribbean Businesses
The demand for electricity in the Caribbean region is satisfied in vast majority with fossil sources (mainly diesel and secondary LNG fuel), which are imported from few countries nearby. The electricity is produced in a large majority by reciprocating engines stations and by LNG and coal power plants.

The invention relates to a device for packaging electronic components using injection molding and to a method of packaging electronic components using this device.
Devices of this type for packaging electronic components are used in the CSP (Chip Size Packaging) technique to encapsulate a multiplicity of electronic components on a first side of a leadframe in a plastic molding compound. For this purpose, the multiplicity of components are arranged in predetermined positions on a first side of a leadframe, and the leadframe has interconnects, contact terminal areas for connecting to microscopic contact areas of the electronic components and contact vias, which are connected to interconnects on a second side of the leadframe. External contact terminal areas or contact bumps are provided at predetermined points on this second side. In this case, the second side is arranged opposite from the first side of the leadframe.
In the case of devices of this type for what are known as BGA (Ball Grid Array) components, the leadframe comprises a glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy substrate if these components are designed for high-frequency or logic applications. To protect the electronic components, which are usually arranged in semiconductor chips on the first side of the leadframe, from damage, the entire device is sealed in plastic using an injection-molding process. This injection-molding process is standardized as a "transfer molding process". The leadframe must in this case withstand high loads, since an injection mold and the leadframe of the device are clamped together to seal the joint between the injection mold and the leadframe. In this case, a high pressing pressure acts on the edges of the leadframe, so that no plastic molding compound escapes between the leadframe and the injection mold.
This standard process cannot be used when a ceramic substrate is provided as the leadframe because of the great risk of rupturing the ceramic due to the high loads required in the injection-molding process between the injection mold and the leadframe. However, the previously used leadframes comprising a glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy substrate, for example, have the disadvantage that, at the melting temperatures of the production and further-processing steps, such as soldering operations, there is the risk that moisture bubbles in the glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy resin substrate will burst and consequently damage the electronic component.
It is known from U.S. Pat. No. 5,270,262 to provide the leadframe with integrated sealing elements, in particular O-rings, which have to be removed again after encapsulation in plastic molding compound. Such a method does not appear to be cost-effective, since it requires additional method steps over and above those of the standard process.
It is an object of the invention to provide a device which overcomes the disadvantages in the prior art and makes it possible to package electronic components mounted on ceramic leadframes by a highly automated injection-molding process. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a method of packaging electronic components using a corresponding device.
For this purpose, the leadframe is a ceramic substrate which has a ductile, annularly arranged metal layer arranged in the edge regions of the first side. The electronic components are also arranged on the first side. This ductile metal layer enables an injection mold to work itself into the edge regions of the ceramic substrate and seal the edge regions, compensating for unevennesses of the ceramic substrate. Furthermore, after the injection-molding, the edge region with the ductile metal layer can be readily sawn off in an advantageous way when individually separating the device for packaging electronic components.
In the highly automated standard process of transfer molding, the plastic molding compound is injected at a high temperature of about 180░ C. and at high pressure of about 8 MPa into a cavity placed onto the leadframe of the device. For this purpose, the injection mold with the cavity forming a plastic package must be placed with great force onto the leadframe, to compensate for bending deflections and corrugations of the leadframe, which would lead to the plastic molding compound leaking or escaping from the cavity. On account of the ductile metal layer, the high stresses occurring in this case can no longer lead to rupturing of the typically brittle ceramic, since the ductile metal is plastically deformed and reduces the stresses. At the same time, the popcorn effect is avoided by using a ceramic substrate. Although ceramic substrate materials have great hardness and rigidity, a high level of wear of the injection molds is avoided by the ductile metal layer, which reduces the cost of the highly automated standard process.
For these reasons it is possible to dispense with the the metal caps used with ceramic substrates to protect the electronic components or to dispense with liquid epoxy-resin compounds in a casting mold, which are used individually for each component or for groups of components, and to produce plastic-encapsulated CSP and MCP (Multichip Package) components with ceramic substrates cost-effectively.
With the inventive device, it is consequently possible to produce CSP or MCP components with ceramic substrates without losing any of the ceramic substrates through rupture. Consequently, the restrictions of the highly automated standard process typical of the material are at the same time overcome, so that components, advantageously with ceramic substrates, can be reliably and cost-effectively coated with a plastic molding compound by the transfer molding process.
In addition, the device provides the advantage that higher structure densities can be achieved with the leadframe of a ceramic substrate by narrower interconnects, smaller bonding pads and improved electrical configurations. Additionally, the "popcorn effect" is completely avoided, and no damage is caused by the evaporation of adsorbed water molecules in porous plastic substrates, for example, during the later attachment of external contact terminal areas or the soldering in of contact bumps. In addition, the ceramic substrate has the advantage of improved heat dissipation through the substrate for the electronic components, so that additional cooling devices need not be used. Finally, the ceramic substrate provides the possibility of realizing multi-layer components with integrated passive structures such as resistors, inductances, and capacitors in the ceramic substrate between correspondingly prepared layers of ceramic.
In one embodiment of the invention, the annularly arranged metal layer forms a closed metal ring. The advantage of this closed metal ring lies in the reliability with which an annular seal can be achieved between the ceramic substrate and the injection mold during the injection of the plastic molding compound.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the annularly arranged metal layer has interruptions. These interruptions are made so narrow that, when the plastic compound is injected, it solidifies within the interruptions. This has the advantage that a more favorable distribution of the stresses produced by the different expansion of the substrate and the metal layer can be achieved. The interruptions can be arranged in such a way that the annularly arranged metal layer comprises a multiplicity of metal strips which are arranged directly in a row and aligned transversely in relation to the annular arrangement.
In another embodiment of the invention, the contact bumps protruding from the second side of the ceramic substrate are produced from solder balls. These solder balls are placed in prepared positions on the second side of the ceramic substrate only after the injection-molding of the electronic components.
In the case of a further embodiment of the invention, the ceramic substrate is a multi-layered substrate, the layers of which have different coefficients of thermal expansion. A central inner ceramic layer has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than the neighboring outer layers. Consequently, a higher resistance of the substrate to the loads occurring in the highly automated injection-molding process is advantageously achieved. This is because the tensile stresses effectively acting at the surface in the injection-molding process are reduced.
Since, in the case of this embodiment, the coefficient of expansion of the outer layers is lower than that of the central inner layer, compressive stresses are produced in the outer layers and tensile stresses are produced in the inner region during cooling down from the sintering temperature, at which a virtually stress-free state prevails. The compressive stresses in the outer layers consequently reduce the loading of the surface by the tensile stresses acting during the injection-molding process.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the ceramic substrate is a multi-layered substrate, the layers of which have different moduli of elasticity. A central inner ceramic layer has a higher modulus of elasticity than the neighboring outer layers. Because of the locally higher compliance of the ceramic in the region near the surface, where the highest deformations occur when the injection mold is placed thereon, the stresses occurring there are reduced. Cracks which possibly form in spite of the lower stresses and spread from the surface toward the middle are stopped at the transition to the inner central layer. The strength and rigidity of the assembly required for the further processing steps are advantageously ensured by the inner central layer, which has high strength and a high modulus of elasticity.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the ceramic substrate is a multi-layered substrate, which has ceramic layers and metal layers for reducing internal stresses. As a result, the rigidity of the overall system is advantageously reduced and consequently the risk of rupturing the ceramic substrate is reduced.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the ceramic substrate is a multi-layered substrate which has ceramic layers and metal layers structured into interconnects and passive elements, and contact vias that selectively connect the metal paths and the components at the different metal layer levels to one another. With a ceramic substrate of this type, multi-layer components can be advantageously realized. Passive structures, such as resistors, inductive structures and capacitors, are already produced in the individual metal layers during the sintering of the ceramic substrate.
The inventive ductile annularly arranged metal layer is arranged in the placement region of an injection mold defining the package form, so that, in an advantageous way, the injection mold does not directly touch the hard ceramic substrate and consequently the injection mold wears less than in the case of conventional ceramic substrates, since it is not in contact with the ceramic substrate, but only with the ductile metal layer. The injection mold therefore has a longer service life.
A ductile metal layer, which is intended at the same time also to have a sealing effect, must be dimensioned with adequate thickness. However, this entails the risk of distorting the ceramic substrate when the metal layer is applied. To compensate for a disadvantageous effect of this type, the edge regions of the second side of the ceramic substrate is additionally provided with a ductile annularly arranged closed metal layer. What is more, to provide a predetermined breaking point in uncritical edge regions of the ceramic substrate for when the ceramic is overloaded, the edge regions of the second side of the ceramic substrate may additionally have an annularly arranged groove. This groove lies within the placement region of the injection mold and consequently advantageously reduces the stresses in the inner region of the active electronic semiconductor structures. Although the local stresses in the region of the groove itself increase as a result, the groove ensures that load cracks in the ceramic occur only in the edge region and not in the usable area for the electronic components.
A fine-grained Al2O3 with a purity of ≧96% is used as the material for the ceramic substrate. This aluminum oxide is the ceramic substrate material best suited for the inventive device for packaging electronic components because of the combination of good electrical and mechanical properties and also its relatively low price and its availability. In the standard dimensions, as also used for the thin-film technique, Al2O3 is available at a relatively low price. Although the modulus of elasticity of Al2O3 is relatively high, whereby high stresses are induced in the ceramic substrate during the injection-molding, this can be accepted because of the high strength of the material. In addition, as mentioned above, stress peaks can be further reduced by providing a corresponding multi-layer formation of the substrate, and in particular, by preferably providing the groove on the second side of the ceramic substrate.
The fine-grained character of the ceramic can be improved by additions of MgO to the Al2O3, since magnesium oxide acts as a grain growth inhibitor in Al2O3 ceramics and consequently excessively large grains and excessive inhomogeneities in the ceramic substrate caused by abnormal grain growth are avoided. By adding incorporated ZrO2 particles, the known mechanism typical of partly stabilized ZrO2 ceramics can also be transferred to aluminum oxide ceramics. In this case, the microstructure of the ZrO2 particles is set by suitable process engineering measures in such a way that they assume not only a monoclinic phase, but also at room temperature, a metastable tetragonal phase. This tetragonal phase of the ZrO2 is only martensitically transformed into the stable monoclinic phase under the influence of stress fields in the vicinity of a crack tip. This entails an increase in volume, which generates compressive stress, which locally hinders the tensile stress field responsible for crack propagation and consequently prevents crack propagation in an aluminum oxide ceramic with incorporated ZrO2 particles.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the ceramic substrate is produced from fine-grained steatite and/or forsterite. On account of the molecular structure of steatites and forsterites, the thermal connectivity is indeed lower than in the case of aluminum oxide, but at the same time the modulus of elasticity is also low, so that these materials appear to be entirely suitable for the injection-molding of packages by the highly automated process.
Fine-grained aluminum nitride may also be used as the ceramic substrate, especially since aluminum nitride reaches a high thermal conductivity and the mechanical properties are comparable with those of aluminum oxide. What is more, the low coefficient of thermal expansion, which for aluminum nitride is nearer to that of the semiconductor silicon, may be an additional advantage for some applications. However, for injection-molding it would be more advantageous if the coefficient of thermal expansion of the ceramic substrate were of the order of magnitude of the plastic injection-molding compound, in order to keep instances of bowing and warpage of the ceramic substrate small.
This can be achieved by using glass ceramic materials as the ceramic substrate. Glass ceramic materials of this type contain not only a ceramic fraction, for example of aluminum oxide, but also a glass fraction. In this case, the glass fraction is greater in the case of low-temperature glass ceramic materials than in the case of high-temperature glass ceramic materials. Because of the greater glass content, low-temperature glass ceramic materials of this type can be sintered at correspondingly lower temperatures between 850 and 1000░ C.
However, these material systems based on glass ceramic materials offer the advantage that the substrate properties can be tailored to the device for packaging electronic components by obtaining the optimized composition from the mixing ratio of the glass and ceramic components. For example, the coefficient of expansion of the glass ceramic may be adapted to the coefficient of expansion of the plastic molding compound, whereby a high resistance to cyclical temperature changes can be achieved in comparison with pure Al2O3 ceramics.
A method of packaging electronic components using the device described above is characterized by the following method steps:
This method has the advantage that electronic components on ceramic substrates can now be encapsulated in an injection-molding compound using a highly automated standard process, that is to say transfer molding, as it is known. In contrast with the previous technique, in which only glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy or polyimide substrate materials were used on account of the high temperature and compressive loading of the substrates, this now makes it possible on the basis of the inventive structuring of the ceramic substrate, in particular with a ductile metal layer in the edge regions of the substrate, for an injection mold to be placed in a sealing manner onto ceramic substrates and for this seal between the ductile metal layer and the injection mold to withstand the high pressure of about 8 MPa.
With the ceramic substrate, higher structure densities can be realized in comparison with the epoxy or polyimide substrate materials, by virtue of the fact that narrower interconnects and smaller plated-through holes can be used. What is more, the "popcorn effect", which is known for plastic substrates and which has an effect in particular when soldering on the solder balls to form contact bumps on the ready-encapsulated component, is overcome by this method, since ceramic substrates, by contrast with the conventional plastic substrates, are sintered at correspondingly high temperatures and consequently no longer contain absorbed moisture. A further advantage of this method is that the wear of the injection mold is kept low by the ductile metal layer, since the mold does not undergo any wearing contact with the hard ceramic substrate surface.
Since it is also the case with the conventional methods that the edge regions of a plastic leadframe are cut off during the individual separation of the electronic components, the inventive method includes cutting off the edge region having the applied ductile metal coating at the end of the process during the individual separation of the electronic components.
In the case of a further way of carrying out the method, multi-layered substrates, the layers of which have different coefficients of thermal expansion in such a way that at least one central inner ceramic layer has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than the neighboring outer layers, may be used as ceramic substrates. The use of multi-layered substrates with different coefficients of expansion has the advantage that the risk of rupturing the ceramic substrate when the high process pressures are applied during the injection-molding process is avoided, since compressive stresses are induced in the neighboring outer layers during the cooling down of the ceramic substrates after the sintering. In this manner, the risk of crack formation under tensile stresses during the injecting operation and the further subsequent thermal treatments is reduced.
In the case of a further way of carrying out the method, a multi-layered substrate, the layers of which have different moduli of elasticity in which a central inner ceramic layer has a higher modulus of elasticity than the neighboring outer layers, is used as the ceramic substrate. This layer sequence in the ceramic substrate has the advantages already discussed above and reduces the risk of rupturing the ceramic substrate during the injecting operation.
A similar effect can be achieved by incorporating structured metal layers during the building up of the ceramic substrate, so that the metal layers contribute to reducing internal stresses.
In the method, it is also possible to use ceramic substrates which are multi-layered and in which there are present in the substrate not only ceramic layers, but also structured metal layers, which assume the functions of interconnects and functions of passive components. For connecting to the outer metal layers of the substrate, contact vias are selectively provided for this purpose through the different ceramic layers in this multi-layered ceramic substrate, and glass ceramics are used as the ceramic substrate or as ceramic layers.
For applying a ductile metal layer, a plating technique is used, in which the ductile material is applied in strip form. Other preferred metal coating processes are the screen printing process and the stencil printing process, which have the advantage that a high number of ceramic substrates can be covered with metal layers at the edge in an automated process.
If a ductile copper alloy is used for the ductile annularly arranged metal layer, direct copper bonding can be used (DCB process), which can be employed in particular for aluminum oxide substrates.
In a further way of carrying out the method, a ductile aluminum alloy is used as the ductile annularly closed metal layer, which has the advantage that particularly soft metal layers can be realized with it. Iron/nickel alloys may also be used as the ductile annularly closed metal layer, these having in particular the advantage that no metal residues accumulate on the injection mold, as could possibly occur in the case of very soft aluminum alloys.
A further method variant for applying the ductile metal layer is active soldering, in which a covering with a filler which reacts with the ceramic is soldered on.
A further example of how the inventive method is carried out consists in that an additional ductile annularly arranged metal layer is applied to the edge regions of the the second side of the ceramic substrate. With this method step, possible distortion of the first side is compensated in an advantageous way by the ductile annularly arranged metal layer provided there. In addition, an annularly closed groove may be machined into the edge regions of the ceramic substrate on the second side. With this method step it is ensured that the edge region is produced with a predetermined breaking point, which prevents cracks from progressing from the edge region into the central, middle region of a ceramic substrate.
Materials for the ceramic substrate have already been discussed at length above, and the associated advantages can also be transferred to the corresponding method steps, so that they are not discussed any further here.
Embodiments of the invention are now explained in more detail on the basis of the accompanying drawings.
As shown in
Since the ceramic substrates 11 are extremely sensitive to tensile stress and therefore an injection-molding technique with its high compressive loading in the edge regions 12 of the ceramic substrate 11 may rupture the ceramic substrate 11, the ductile annularly arranged metal layer 13 is provided in the inventive device for packaging electronic components using the injection-molding technique.

A Notre Dame linebacker thought his girlfriend died, but he allegedly had been a victim of a hoax
Manti Te'o's girlfriend dying of leukaemia inspired him to play better and help the Fighting Irish get to the Discover BCS National Championship. However, his girlfriend dying was a hoax that some suggest was carried out against Te'o.
Deadspin.com found out that Te'o's girlfriend, Lennay Kukua, never existed.
On December 26, Te'o and his parents informed Notre Dame that Te'o had been a victim of a hoax when someone created a fictitious name and then led him to believe that she died of leukemia.
Some say that it was Te'o who perpetrated this hoax to get national attention, but Te'o insists that he was the victim.

Newborn and Sibling Preschooler Colds
Q: I have a 3-year-old preschooler and now a 2-week-old
baby. How do we keep the baby from catching the coughs and colds her
older sis gets from school?
Dr.Moore: Recognize that the number one diagnosis
for doctor's office visits is URI or upper respiratory infection.
The most common spread of these germs is via droplet (coughing) and
contact (germs spread by hand to mouth or nose). Teach preschooler to
cover their mouth when they cough, wash hands frequently, keep their
hands and fingers out of their mouth. A healthy diet and proper sleep
will help your child avoid colds that can spread to the little one.
I'm sure your pediatrician advised you to limit outdoor exposure
of the newborn for the first four to six weeks. This limits the baby's
exposure to other people and the germs they carry. Mama should be careful
to do the same. Antibacterial wipes work well on the go, when no soap
and water is available.
* * *
Anesthesia and Nausea
Q: I've had severe nausea and vomiting the last two
times I was put to sleep, but my friend who had a similar procedure
did not. Is it the anesthesia or is it me?
Dr.Moore: It may be a little of both. There are many
factors that influence post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) including,
but not limited to: surgery type, anesthesia type, patient susceptibility,
and patient medical history. Certain surgeries are more likely to cause
PONV. Eye surgery and ENT procedures are particularly notorious, as
are those involving peritoneal "open abdomen". Joint surgery
can also be very stimulating to the nausea trigger zones of the brain.
Most general anesthesia gases cause some level of PONV, although this
is reduced by anti-nausea medications given during surgery. Newer intravenous
anesthetics cause less nausea than the gases, but are not always applicable
to the surgery type scheduled. Individual patient susceptibility can
be a factor, and as one ages, this seems to worsen. To lessen PONV after
your next surgery, try to eat light the day before surgery, and then
post-op, eat more like a bird than a tiger. If you are "a little
bit hungry" all day and at bedtime, you'll have less difficulties.
Maintain hydration with clear liquids and avoid fatty or spicy foods.
Minimizing your physical (and mental) activity will also help.

Click here to view this resume
Improving your resume takes effort and learning from the mistakes of others. You can easily make your resume better by learning from the mistakes that we will identify in this VFD Assembly Specialist resume sample. Our resume experts will help you to learn how to make your resume more effective to you showcase your skills.
Proofread for punctuation errors
In your resume, any errors will count against you. Be sure to look carefully over the resume and correct any missing periods or unnecessary markings. WRONG: Hard worker with experience in CNC operations and electrical assembly Skilled at reading electrical schematics and blueprints and completing high quality work within production deadlines. Work well individually as well in a team environment. RIGHT:
In the example from the sample resume, there is no period between the first and second sentences. In the revision, we have added periods to the end of each sentence and changed them into bullet points to make it easier to read. Throughout the resume sample, there are lots of stray punctuation marks indicating a sloppy approach to the job application process.
Use notable accomplishments in accomplishments section
The accomplishments section is great to use to showcase extraordinary feats and recognitions. In this sample resume, however, the accomplishments section sounds more like a list of job skills. Hidden within previous experience, are some truly noteworthy accomplishments worth highlighting. WRONG: Accomplishments Efficiently machined small and large parts to tolerances of .010 .Problem Diagnosis Used operational knowledge of systems, parts and components to solve problems that arose during assembly. Machine Operation Entered operating instructions into computers to start and adjust welding machines. Developed layout and plan sequences to improve operational efficiency. or less Training Trained all new CNC Operators on safe and efficient handling of machines. RIGHT: Accomplishments
Make sure that if you include an accomplishments section that it describes noteworthy accomplishments and is not simply a description of skills.
Use the proper tense throughout the resume
As you describe your work experience, be sure you use the proper tense throughout the resume. For example, if you are discussing the work responsibilities for a position you currently hold, the sentences should be in present tense. For previous positions, use the past tense. WRONG: VFD Assembly April 2011 to Current Derrick Corporation Cheektowaga, New York
RIGHT: VFD Assembly April 2011 to Current Derrick Corporation Cheektowaga, New York
Carefully inspect your resume for proper and consistent use of verb tenses. If you aren't sure what to use, remember that for current positions you are writing about things you currently do in the present tense and for previous positions, you are writing about what you did in the past tense. Apply what you learned in this VFD assembly specialist resume sample to give your resume a facelift. QuintCareer's Resume Builder can help you craft an expert resume in just a little while.

Fans of teen-heavy football dramas rejoice: NBC has found a way to renew its critically acclaimed, but barely watched show Friday Night Lights for a third season. The show's salvation comes thanks to a partnership between NBC and DirecTV, who will be helping the network shoulder the cost of the show's upcoming third season. DirecTV will also air the show across multiple platforms, whatever that means. (I'm guessing TV, satellite, and web. Or somesuch.)
I'm told that Jeff Zucker, Marc Graboff and Ben Silverman had been searching for a way to renew the critically acclaimed but low-rated Friday Night Lights for a 3rd season so that it would still make financial sense. The answer came in a deal with DirecTV, now owned by John Malone's Liberty Media. Clearly Malone is looking to distinguish DirecTV from its rivals on a content as well as price basis. "It's an innovative deal where NBC found a partner who will share costs and exhibition windows," an insider explained to me. So both NBC and DirecTV will be airing Friday Night Lights across multipurpose platforms.
I've always liked FNL everytime I've run across it while channel surfing, but it's never been must-see viewing for me. The football games, in particular, are just so ridiculously fairy tale-ish. The team always finds a way to win in the end by some fluke miracle of some such. Sometimes I get the feeling the people who writes for the show have never actually seen a football game.
But hey, more chances to catch Adrianne Palicki on TV on a weekly basis? I ain't complain'.

Police start drilling at Tobin home
Police are beginning a drilling and digging operation in the basement of a former home of serial killer Peter Tobin.
The property in Station Road, Portslade, East Sussex, is one of two former homes of Tobin being searched by police.
The other is in Marine Parade, Brighton. Tobin lived at the houses during the 1980s.
Tobin is serving three life sentences for killing Angelika Kluk, Vicky Hamilton and Dinah McNicol.
Sussex Police started their searches at the two addresses last Monday, convinced he claimed more victims as he lived across Britain under different names and trawled the motorways for vulnerable female hitch-hikers.
A Sussex Police spokesman said work in the basement of the Portslade property will start at 9am. It is being carried out on a Sunday to minimise disruption to nearby shops.
Neighbours of the house have had letters delivered to them warning them of the operation.
Tobin was told last December that he would die in jail after he was convicted of strangling 18-year-old Miss McNicol.
The former church handyman was already serving life terms for the murders of 15-year-old Vicky and Angelika Kluk, 23.
Police discovered the remains of Vicky and Miss McNicol buried in the garden of a house in Margate, Kent, to which Tobin moved in March 1991.
