Zune HD gets apps and 3D gaming
Rubbing yet more salt into the wound that us Brits can't get our hands on it, Microsoft has confirmed the Zune HD is set to get its own app store, complete with 3D games.
Pushing its way in to the handheld gaming circle currently frequented by the likes of Apple, Sony and Nintendo, the Zune HD's 3D games will include Project Gotham Racing: Ferrari Edition, Vans Sk8: Pool Service and Audiosurf Tilt.
Alongside gaming there will also be apps for things such as Twitter and Facebook up for grabs from the Zune Marketplace, and all content will be downloadable over a Wi-fi connection, or when hooked up to your PC.
The idea for now is to keep all the apps and games free, and have them developed in house or in close collaboration with third parties, rather than releasing an SDK for people to develop apps willy nilly.
Brian Seitz, Zune's marketing manager, has said however that the Zune's priority will be on gaming, while Windows Marketplace will be the bigger platform for handheld app development.
Of course we've still not been told if we can ever expect to see the Zune HD hit shops this side of the pond, so until we do – forget about 3D gaming and check out our Top 10 MP3 players that you can pick up in the UK.

IMPORTANTLY Microsoft are not having an OPEN App Store - all they are doing is proving a handful of apps developed in-house or in selected partnerships. So instead of 75,000 apps there literally a couple with a handful more (Twitter, Facebook etc) by the end of the year. Why? This seems very daft imho. http://www.macworld.com/article/142815/2009/09/zunehd.html

The preliminary jobs numbers for 2012 are in, and while last year's herky-jerky hiring in the legal sector resulted in a net increase of 7,800 jobs for the year — or 0.7 percent more than in 2011 — the legal industry nonetheless grew at just half the rate of the broader economy, where the total number of jobs increased 1.4 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Burrard Inlet, Vancouver (Canadian Tourism Commission photo)
Frommer's travel guide called BC one of the "World's Great Sailing Regions" (2009).
Cruises in British Columbia have more than 27,000km/16,780mi of coastline, thousands of lakes and many mostly uninhabited islands to explore.
Popular cruising areas include the Inside Passage, Great Bear Rainforest, Queen Charlotte Islands/Haida Gwaii, Desolation Sound and the Gulf Islands. Choose from a wide selection of cruise operators, five of which were even recommended by Frommer's travel guide and/or National Geographic Adventure magazine.
On a BC cruise, discover granite cliffs with plunging waterfalls, sail through temperate rainforests, and float in quiet fjords and inlets with protected sanctuaries that are home to lots of wildlife.
Cruises range from multi-day trips and single day excursions to harbour and dinner cruises, with some operators offering rentals (for experienced skippers) or private charters with custom itineraries. Cruise companies may depart from several different ports and usually carry 10-15 guests.
Travelling the coast? BC Ferries offer cruise-like experiences while servicing 47 destinations, and some Alaskan cruises make ports of call at Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo and Prince Rupert.

BC Ferries was named one of the "World's Top 10 Ferry Boat Rides" (2009) by The Society of American Travel Writers. Major routes such as the Inside Passage, Discovery Coast Passage and some southern crossings have comfortable amenities, such as Wi-Fi, spa services, movie lounges and even on-deck barbeques. Visit the BC Ferries Vacation Centre in Vancouver for ferry, accommodations and tour packages.
Many Alaskan cruises depart from Vancouver, while Victoria, Nanaimo and Prince Rupert can serve as ports of call en route – more than one million cruise passengers visited BC in 2010! Shore excursions include visits to Stanley Park and The Butchart Gardens, historical neighbourhoods such as Gastown or Victoria's Inner Harbour, or nature tours in Nanaimo or Prince Rupert.
Cruise along the Inside Passage and to ancient Queen Charlotte Islands/Haida Gwaii on a century-old schooner or drift past grizzly bears in the Great Bear Rainforest on a classic motor yacht. To travel back in time, step onboard a heritage tugboat charting northern waters, or join an authentic paddlewheeler tour following the Gold Rush route.
Along Vancouver Island's west coast, delve into coastal life on a working freighter or charter a luxury yacht to linger in the warm waters of Desolation Sound. Enjoy the comforts of home on an Okanagan Lake or Kootenay Lake houseboat or wine and dine on a Vancouver dinner and harbour cruise.

NY1 VIDEO: Nearly three years after the September 11th attacks, the 9/11 Commission released its final report on the lead-up to the terrorist attacks on July 22, 2004. The report laid out failings in intelligence and diplomacy by many government agencies and warned about the likelihood of another attack.
Though many Americans anticipated the report's release, it was an especially important document to the family members of those killed. NY1's Amanda Farinacci spoke with many of them in Washington DC when the report came out and filed the following report.

A few months ago 5 DFW unschooling mothers convened to discuss the waning support network for unschoolers coinciding with a tremendous growth in the number of families interested or partaking in unschooling in the metroplex area. I was pleased to be one of those women. We met and created a new Meet-Up group for social networking, play, and focused discussion surrounding peaceful family living and unschooling called Whole-Life Unschooling. We were so busy talking and the kids were so busy creating and playing that I didn't even think to pick up the camera for most of the day.

Pears were spotted on the trees adjacent to the park so we decided to go see if they were edible. We picked a bunch and they were delicious!

It was a hot one! Many of the kids cooled each other off in the water fountain using various methods. They seemed to have been very effective.
There was a great turn-out of families and a lively discussion on the day's topic- consensual living. Interest in the group is high and the desire for growth and support is alive!

The Great Gatsby
Chelsea Myers
Quite a few years later, I received a letter sent from
Nice, France
. A letter from Daisy, and what I preceded to feel after I read the letter was the urgency to visit. Her writing expressed feelings of
regret, anxiety, and utter contempt
for herself because the memories of both,
and Gatsby's deaths were disquieting, to say the least. Tom still did not know that she was the one who hit Myrtle and Gatsby was innocent, and Daisy had urges to confess to Tom but never did. He loved her more sincerely after the whole fiasco;
I think he was hurt to find out that Daisy still felt for Gatsby and realized that he really loved Daisy.
In shaky letters, Daisy noted how happy she was to be married to Tom and how well things are going between the two.
I replied encouraging her to tell him that she was driving
Gatsby's yellow car
the night of Myrtle's death. I always resented Tom but I knew that their marriage was always going to be a
because of her secret. But she refused. The guilt wasn't strong enough to make Daisy confess. I don't like to meddle in situations which I don't belong, but this was certainly a different situation.

Gannon Kashiwa, market manager for Digidesign's professional products, told us, "The original Control|24 literally changed the way that engineers worked with Pro Tools by offering a level of tactile control that was simply unachievable with third-party devices. This level of integration, and the benefits that it provided, sparked an evolution in workflow that is the standard in thousands of music and post-production facilities today. Over the years Digidesign has continued to lead the development of integrated control surface technology. The new C|24 benefits from this experience by bringing the latest advancements in industrial design, integrated software and hardware workflow, and mic preamp technology to the mid-sized control surface segment that we helped to define nearly seven years ago.�
What Digidesign say about the C|24…
C|24 features a sleek industrial design that combines a highly-advanced control surface with a full complement of analogue inputs and a versatile monitoring section. Digidesign's proprietary Ethernet-based communication protocol offers vastly superior control when compared to similarly-priced control surfaces, most of which employ the slower and less extensible HUI protocol.

The 2007 BMO Possibility Awards
BMO Possibility Awards are given annually at the conclusion of the BMO Financial Group Canadian Championships and for the fourth year at the BMO Financial Group Skate Canada Junior Nationals.
Each award consists of a $500 BMO Financial Group cash training grant and a glass sculpture.
The BMO Possibility Awards take into account some of the following criteria as evidence during individual performances in any part of the 2007 BMO Financial Group Skate Canada Junior Nationals:
• overcoming difficult obstacles; • implementing fresh and new ideas; • performing over and above all expectations.
The awards were presented by Jim O'Brien, Area Manager, BMO Financial Group.
This year's recipients were:
• 8-year-old Nam Nguyen from BC/YT is the youngest athlete ever to win this award, and the youngest to capture a Juvenile men's national championship in Canada. Nam performed a wonderful program and is very deserving of a BMO Possibility Award and we look forward to seeing him in the future.
• 11-year-old Roxanne Rheault from Quebec who competed in the Juvenile women's event. After 2 and a-half minutes, an amazing performance was in the books, establishing a new Canadian record by scoring 43,23 points, and becoming the new Canadian Juvenile women's champion.
• Liam Firus from BC/YT surpassed the previous Canadian record in the Pre-Novice men's category. In an event that was flooded with young talented skaters, this was a tremendous achievement!
• With an outstanding performance in the Novice men's free skate, Louis-Phillipe Sirois from Quebec finished at the top of the podium while setting a new Canadian record.
• Kharis Ralph and Asher Hill from the Central Ontario Section offered a mesmerizing free dance performance, demonstrating creative and seamless choreography, and were crowned the 2007 Novice Dance Champions.
Congratulations to all the 2007 BMO Possibility Awards recipients at this year's Junior Nationals.
The 2007 Underhill/Martini Scholarship Award
The Underhill/Martini Scholarship Award is presented each year at the BMO Financial Group Skate Canada Junior Nationals to a skater or skaters, showing great potential, while at the same time overcoming adversity along the way.
This award is made possible through the generosity of world pair champions Barbara Underhill and Paul Martini. The award consists of a $1500 cheque and a beautiful portrait entitled "Another Dream Begins", and is traditionally presented on behalf of Barbara Underhill and Paul Martini by their former coach and Skate Canada's Director of Athlete Development Louis Stong.
Along the road of an athletes life one will undoubtedly face adversity in many forums. Whether it be mental, physical or personal one must overcome this burden in order to succeed.
At this year's BMO Financial Group Skate Canada Junior Nationals, there was a special case in which a pair of our athletes demonstrated remarkable courage and overcame a great deal in order to be competing in Brampton.
In a year filled with injury and set-backs, Tamiko Uyeda and Martin Nickel from Manitoba were set to compete for Canada when they suffered a concussion caused by a fall. They battled back showing great strength and character. Though time did not able them to represent our country, the courage that was shown during the difficult times was enough to grant them with this award.

New diabetes support group set up in town (From Malvern Gazette)

New diabetes support group set up in town
9:00am Wednesday 20th March 2013 in News By Tarik Al Rasheed
A NEW support group for people with diabetes is being set up in Malvern.
Diabetes sufferer Richard Kennard, of Malvern LInk, has been attending a support group in Worcester and, through his own connections, realised there was a real gap for something similar in Malvern.
Diabetes is a long-term condition that affects the body's ability to process sugar or glucose and can have serious health consequences without careful management.
It is estimated to affect almost three million people in the UK.
Mr Kennard has type two diabetes while his wife Frances has suffered from the rarer type one condition – which only accounts for about 10 per cent of cases – for 50 years.
He said the Worcester group was a real benefit to the people who attend it, but because meetings take place in the evenings and are not easy to get to by public transport, many Malvern people could be missing out.
"I decided to try and set up a similar sort of group here, he said. "It's intended to be somewhere that people with both type one and type two diabetes can get together, share stories and exchange views about their treatments.
"Hopefully we will be able to get some speakers to come along and it will also be a chance to have a social get together".
He added: "I think if this sort of thing had existed it would have been a great support to us over the years.
"There is a lot of ignorance about the condition still and it is something that is definitely on the increase, particularly type two."
Janet Alexander Hall, volunteer development officer for charity Diabetes UK, is delighted a group is opening in Malvern.
"I look forward to working with the people involved,"
she said.
"Voluntary groups offer support to those with diabetes and their families and carers.
"It offers an opportunity to meet other people with the condition and share experiences."
The new Malvern Diabetes Group will be meeting on the last Monday of every month at the Octagon Centre, in Brook Farm Drive, Poolbrook and the first meeting is on March 25 at 2pm.
Anyone interested in finding out more can email email@example.com, call 0800 987 1212 or visit diabetesmalvern.org.uk.
About 2.8million people in the UK live with diabetes and some 150,000 are diagnosed every year. Diabetes UK estimates that there may be as many as 1 million more with diabetes that has not been diagnosed.

Costello was consigliore of the Luciana crime family and in control of slot machines and bookmaking operations in the Big Apple.
But in 1934, New York Mayor Fiorella La Guardia confiscated thousands of Castello's slots, loaded them on a barge, and dumped them into the ocean. Moviegoers were treated to newsreels of Mayor La Guardia taking a sledge hammer to slot machines and pushing them off the barge into the city's ocean dump.
That put a dent in Costello's New York operation, but he quickly found a new place for the one-armed bandits. He accepted a Long proposal to put machines in Louisiana. Huey, ever generous, said he would take only ten percent of the profits.
Over the next two decades, the slot machines spread into practically every restaurant, grocery store and liquor store in the state. They were everywhere, and were making money for a lot of people.
That's why State Police Superintendent Francis Grevemberg was not always the most popular fellow when he began busting up the machines in the early 1950s. In his biography, he says that he led more than 1,000 surprise raids against gambling establishments, and that he destroyed 8,229 slot machines.
His raiders got to south Louisiana in mid-October 1953, when, according to one press account, "sledge-hammer wielding state policemen raided bars and restaurants, snatching up hundreds of slot machines and busting them into just a mess of springs and gears."
The superintendent had no way to anticipate today's casinos, and optimistically told the press after this raid that "after we have seized all of them, it will finish slot machines in Louisiana."
In a 1989 interview with the Associated Press, Grevemberg said gambling-related corruption was so pervasive in Louisiana in the 1950s that he had to keep the raids secret from local sheriffs and police chiefs and even some of his own troopers for fear they would warn the targets.
The October 1953 raids hit places in Crowley, Duson, Rayne, Breaux Bridge, Eunice, Opelousas, Mamou, and Basile.
In response, a Crowley businessman filed criminal charges against Superintendent Grevemberg for stealing his slots, and the young city judge, Edmund Reggie, signed a warrant for Grevemberg's arrest. The superintendent was in fact served with an arrest warrant, although he never was jailed.
Another Crowley businessman got a state court injunction stopping the police from breaking up his machines. He was represented by a young Crowley attorney who later showed more than a little interest in gambling. Edwin Edwards argued that the machines had to be legal since they were taxed by the state.
The whole question became moot when Earl Long was elected governor in 1956. He didn't make the machines legal, but did announce that state police would no longer "harass and intimidate" citizens with such unholy raids. Grevemberg was also a candidate in that 1956 race for governor, finishing fourth behind Uncle Earl, New Orleans Mayor deLesseps Morrison, and Frederick Preaus, a car dealer from Farmerville.
Grevemberg's crusade was the subject of a 1958 film by Universal Studios titled Damn Citizen. The role of the superintendent was played by Keith Andes, who is probably better remembered for playing Marilyn Monroe's possessive boyfriend in the 1952 film Clash By Night.
Even after he was replaced as superintendent, Grevemberg continued to speak out against illegal gambling, and was a vocal critic of gambling legal and illegal in Louisiana until his death in 2008 at the age of 94.

Mike's Camera, which bills itself as the premier photographic specialty retailer in Colorado, is moving into the former Ritz Camera shop in midtown Sacramento.
Ritz, a national retail chain, saw its assets approved for sale in September to a pair of liquidators by a U.S. bankruptcy judge in Delaware.
That put the lone Sacramento store at 2200 J St., on the block.
On the positive side, Mike's Camera said its move to Sacramento was part of a 10-store expansion that will create more than 80 jobs in Northern California and Colorado. All locations are former Ritz stores.
Besides five new stores in Colorado and the one in Sacramento, Mike's Camera is opening in San Francisco, Mill Valley, Menlo Park and Dublin.
Today, workers at the Sacramento store said they were hustling to stock the midtown site with merchandise and are hopeful of being open by Friday.
Ritz Camera & Image, founded 94 years ago, operated more than 1,000 stores after acquiring the old Wolf Camera chain in 2001.
However, Ritz struggled amid the transition to digital photography as revenue from film processing dwindled. The Sacramento store was one of only 137 remaining at the time of the September action by the bankruptcy court.

Two Glens Falls adults charged in assault that left 5-year-old child in critical condition
GLENS FALLS — Two people are charged with assaulting a 5-year-old child Thursday night, leaving the child in critical condition.
Brandon M. Warrington, 24, and Jennie M. Mattison, 23, of 5 Mission St. were arrested late Thursday night after an ambulance was called to their residence to assist a child who was not breathing. The child was transported to Glens Falls Hospital and then airlifted to Albany Medical Center, where he or she is listed in critical condition.
The child's identity and gender were not released by police, nor was the relationship between Warrington, Mattison and the child.
Warrington was charged with first-degree assault and first-degree reckless endangerment, felonies.
Mattison was charged with first-degree reckless endangerment.
Glens Falls police say their investigation is ongoing.

Insecure Feeling: Google's Two-Step Authentication Process
It's like that joke that nobody gets but no one speaks up and says, "What's so funny?" Well if you've ever been hacked, you get it. The need for tighter online security measures, that is. While your personal computer may not have been exposed, chances are that your personal information on a third-party database has. To further complicate the issue, when a major retailer's security has been breached and its database hacked, the infringement may not be announced for some time. Read More »

Finding a health care lifeline: "The court's decision really couldn't have come at a better time."
The same day that the Supreme Court ruled to let the Affordable Care Act stand, Brian Powers woke up in an ambulance. He had had a seizure, his third in a little more than a year. (His second had been two months earlier, on his college graduation day.) Several hours later, the 22-year-old from Plainfield, Conn., was diagnosed with epilepsy. He's been on seizure medications since, and likely will have to continue for at least a few years.
Powers' mom has health insurance that covered the ambulance rides, the emergency room visits, one night in the hospital, and now, the drugs. Powers contributed just $5 in co-payment at the pharmacy. He says he hasn't had to think a lot about health insurance, because, as he says:
"My family has always been insured due to my mother's occupation as a medical technologist/microbiologist at a hospital in upstate New York. … Any and all medical bills my family has ever acquired, any medications, and even regular dentist appointments were always covered."
That was the way jobs used to be. In 1987, 62.1 percent of Americans were part of an employer's health insurance plan, according to the Census Bureau. Employment-based coverage peaked in 2000 with 65.1 percent of all Americans having this sort of insurance. But by 2010, it had fallen to 55.3 percent.
Young adults are less likely to be covered under employment-based plans than anyone but senior citizens: Only 45.9 percent of Americans age 18-24 carried insurance from their employer in 2010.
Brian Powers isn't one of those people.
"While I'm sure they would offer insurance if they could, my employer simply can't afford it," Powers explains.
Straight out of college, he landed a job as the program coordinator for Literacy Volunteers of Eastern Connecticut, a non-profit that recruits and trains volunteers to teach English to immigrants.
"I simply lucked out with a fantastic position with an organization whose mission I care about," he says. So it's great for Powers that the ACA and his mom's health insurance allow him to continue.
Last year, 6.6 million young Americans like Powers, who otherwise likely would have been uninsured, had health insurance because of the provision in the Affordable Care Act (or ACA) that lets them join or remain on their parents' insurance plans until age 26. That's according to a June 2012 Commonwealth Fund report that surveyed 19- to 25-year-olds.
Sean Klomparens, 24, of Boulder, Colo., has "amazing health benefits" through his current job as a web developer. But before he was able to handle health insurance on his own, he almost gave up his plans for grad school because of a medical condition:
"When I was 22 I developed ulcerative colitis. The symptoms are manageable with an anti-inflammatory drug that I need to take every day, called Apriso, which costs $285 a month without insurance ($20-$30 per month with). I was on my parents' insurance at the time and was under 23 so I was covered.
"I was considering not getting my master's and just getting a job because I would soon be dropped off of my parents' insurance with no way to pay for my medication."
Just before his birthday, though, when he was about to lose the coverage, the part of the ACA that let him stay on his parents' plan went into effect. It carried him through a master's degree, nine months of job searching and an internship.
Although Klomparens is not relying on the ACA right now, he says it will help him achieve his dream of becoming a small-acreage farmer. He and his fiancee (they're getting married next month) have bought 16 acres in Oregon City, Ore., just south of Portland, thanks to an inheritance from his grandmother.
They plan to work at jobs with health benefits for a few years, and once they've saved enough to be financially independent, Klomparens says, "we will 'retire' to the farm," thanks to another provision of the ACA.
Starting January 1, 2014, state-run insurance exchanges will allow individuals and small businesses to band together — thus increasing their purchasing power and driving down cost — to purchase group health insurance.
Klomparens explains further:
"Having access to a pool of health insurance that we can buy into will help us switch to farming more quickly. It was always going to happen, that is without a doubt in our minds (You don't give up on a dream just because it's not financially feasible right now!).
"The ACA simply speeds things along and drastically reduced the stress we are going to feel when we try and raise kids together. It hopefully will reduce the costs of being self employed to the point where neither of us will have to get a job for health insurance again."
For Ragnar Thorisson, 24, the ACA is doing more than fueling his dreams — it's helping to keep him alive. Nine years ago, he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). After several months of treatment and a bone marrow transplant from his brother, the cancer went into remission — until last December.
AML patients are generally consider cured if they are in remission two years after transplant, and it's uncommon for people to relapse after that time, says Dr. Erica Warlick, assistant professor at the University of Minnesota's Masonic Cancer Center and Medical School.
But Thorisson — a native of Iceland whose family moved to Sioux City, Iowa, when he was nine — did.
"I had just graduated from Grinnell College and entered a voluntary service program called Lutheran Volunteer Corps. After four months of service in Seattle, I became ill with pneumonia and was then diagnosed with a relapse of my cancer.
"I lost my job and my ability to work so the last seven months I've been able to stay on my parents' insurance and receive the best cancer care in the world at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance."
He recently had a stem-cell transplant, which was completely covered by his parents' insurance, and he's now back in remission. He says he expects to be healthy in the future, and just signed a lease for a new apartment in Seattle. He hopes to move in soon, and start the process of transitioning from being a full-time patient to a young college graduate looking for work.
Thorisson's thoughts on the ACA?
"Getting cancer was never in my life plan after graduating college. People said you might be unemployed, overworked, etc., but I wasn't warned about this.
"There are cases like mine that would, were it not for Obamacare, be turned away due to a preexisting condition and slammed by 'lifetime caps' and other obstacles. Young people are patients, too."
Although the percentage of 18- to 25-year-olds without health insurance has been dropping since late 2010, after the ACA provision for those 25 and under went into effect, 23 percent of 18- to 25-years-olds surveyed by Gallup in spring 2012 said they still didn't have health insurance — in many cases because their parents aren't covered or can't afford to pay for another dependent on their plan.
Brian Powers, Sean Klomparens and Ragnar Thorisson recognize they are among the fortunate who do have coverage.
Says Powers:
"The only time I ever worried about health care was during the Supreme Court debate that threatened to throw it out. I had not had the epilepsy diagnosis at the time, but I had had two seizures, and I think part of me realized it was only a matter of time.
"The court's decision really couldn't have come at a better time."

Areas of Interest
The major goal of the research program is to study the initial surface and buried-interface processes of electronic materials at the nanoscale including heteroepitaxial thin films, carbon-based electronics, complex oxides and ferroelectric materials. Our approach is to determine the physics and the measurement process for several complimentary techniques that measure surface topography, the atomic bonding configurations and the electronic states. This is accomplished with in situ measurements which include scanning tunneling microscopy(STM), atomic force Microscopy (AFM), LEED, Soft X Ray Photoemission and Auger electron spectroscopy as well as Raman scattering.
Electronic Materials and Soft X Ray Photoemission & Microscopy: Ultra-thin Transition-metal Oxides, Silicates & OxyNitrides, Surface core level shifts, Novel methods of Spectroscopic Microscopy, Tunneling Microscopy, Surface Steps, Interface states and surface reconstruction, Polarization using Synchrotron Radiation, Energy band mapping, Surface of Organic Semiconductors, Spectroscopic X-Ray microscopy.
Probing nanoscale structures in ultrahigh vacuum: The preparation of nanostructures on crystal surfaces requires a ultrahigh vacuum environment to assure that the contamination in air does not affect the properties of the structures. The (Nobel prize winning) technique of scanning tunneling microscopy is employed to develop a picture of the atomic arrangement of nanostructures on surfaces.
Syncrotron Radiation: Soft X-Ray Photoemission, Core level shifts, Surface EXAFS for local structure, EXAFS of impurities in semiconductors, X-Ray Standing Waves.
Surface Vibrational Properties: Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering, Adsorbate Phonons and structure, Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy, wavevector dispersion effects, broadening and anisotropy in core level spectroscopies.
New Approaches to Photoemission Spectroscopy and Microscopy of Complex Oxides and Novel Transition Metal Surfaces: Studies of Ultra-thin Transition-metal Oxides and Silicates, other Oxide and Oxy-Nitride Interfaces on Si(100) and Si(111) for new high-K gate dielectric applications. Some systems use catalyst growth methods as well as model bimetallic catalyst systems, e.g., Pt, Pd, Au and Ir films on W (211) and Ir(210), which are studied with high-resolution photoemission at the Brookhaven NSLS. In 1995 Rowe discovered the Photon Channeling Effect in the Far VUV and Soft X ray spectral region where total external reflection does not apply, and he demonstrated feasibility experiments in collaboration with N. V. Smith. He is currently developing a new scanning microscope to study nanoscale electronic properties of Graphene, carbon nanotube, and diamond films on Si(111) and Si(100), Au/GaAs interfaces, III V quantum well structures, and surface segregation of strained-structure SiGe alloys.
Electronic Structure and Microscopy pf Conducting Fulleride Carbon Nanotubes: Photoemission and LEED studies of aligned Carbon nanotubes including single-wall and multiple-wall tubes, new methods of doping effects in Carbon Nanotube films, Graphene, Diamond, and superconducting C60 in order to determine band width and density of states. Epitaxial growth has been achieved for several Carbon-based systems using hetero-structure film substrate combinations. Interface formation studies of C60 on several Cu, GaAs, and Si substrates indicate that novel 2D films of C60 can be grown without indiffusion from the substrate for more than 1-2 monolayers.

Found this site. Some very interesting stuff, but also the guy has a Rockman World proto cart that is significantly different to the release version.
Ahh... Rockman. Capcom's finest hour
Lost me there............a game series supposed to be classic, tbh i cant stand it, cant get into it whatsoever.......for me, Zero & EXE games are the best version, cant stand the NES ones, some of the worst games i plsyed/,ost annoying.
Nice feature tho.............never played a GB one, might check it out *prepares to not be able to duck*
I had a Mega Man game on my gameboy that had 4 levels from 2 and 4 levels from 3, I sort of recall.
This was long ago, though.
It was called Megaman 2 and it was a pretty cool conversion of the original NES ones.
If it makes you feel any better, I don't really care for the games either (other than, like you said, the Zero and X versions). It's very interesting to see these things, though. I'm always a sucker for alpha/beta/prototype stuff :).
Beta stuff is cool but Megaman/Rockman games are turd and too hard with bloody re-spawn that is enough to make you pull out your hair ! The only good Rockman game I think is good is Rockman X4
By the way, thanks for the link :)
The guy is also a member of this forum. Heya Chris ;)
And I must say I love Rockman 1-7, what's wrong with you people?! :D
those who can't make, mod
Rockman 1-6 rock...i don't know about the non NES ones...they never felt quite right.
Death to Bill and Ted!
Rockman rules. Thanks for the link.

I'm willing to go up to Rockman 3 in saying the Rockman games kicked ass. I never really played 4-7 and I never cared for the X series. I did like Rockman Legends for the PSX but I seem to be in the minority there.
I had MM1 & 2 on the NES. They were great. I've also played through most of the original GB MM games. X on SFami was excellent too.
I have recently discovered all the original and X series have been rereleased on PSoneBooks for $24/£13 each. Reckon I'm gonna go for all the X series. I would however love a copy of X4 for the Saturn with the Ltd. MM model kit (unmade, so i can fiddle).
Rockman ... well... Rocks. I mean, it's RIGHT on the name!
The NES ones are classic platform gaming at its best.... but 5 and 6 were just overdoing it.
7 was... let's say decent, but lacked a certain something. 8 was really cool, I really like it a lot.
X1 to X3 were truly an evolution in the franchise and the Genre. X4 was transitional but still very good, only not as good as the original X. X5 was the best 32 bit one, but really, there's no comparison to the original 3 Rockman X games.
X7 sucks ass, and X8 I haven't played.
The Zero series, I've heard it's great but I don't have a GBA. When I get a DS, I'm gonna give that one a try.
Is the proto on the link the same game I used to have on my GB?

Phew... I was worried too when I started reading this post. Full of blue bomber hate. I loved the originals and thought they were leagues above almost everything else on the NES. I think the music still rocks to this day.
Serious? I love 7 but only sort of like 8. Gameplay in 8 is nice but the enemies are just plain retarded and stages like Clownman's are hideous to me. I also don't like the fact that you can't purchase everything in the game and you have to make choices. As far as X goes, I like X1 & 2 and can stand 3 although I hate the bosses and the music. X4 would be OK without the FMV, bad story, they shouldn't have included a story. X5 I've only played for a few minutes and was turned off immediately by the amount of instruction you get on how to play the game. X6 I played for about a half hour and I thought it was better than 5 due to the numerous cool suits you get.Originally Posted by XerdoPwerko

Clown Man does in fact shock the player at first because it feels as if you're playing a 32 bit version of Rescue Rangers or Talespin or one of those Disney games Capcom used to make. The music becomes infectious after a while, though. The voices in the american version are, however, TERRIBLE. Rockman sounds like a prepubescent girl.
The music in X and X2 is very superior to the rest of the series, in my opinion.
And yes, the X4 FMV was horrible.
I still like 8 a lot, though.
X5 gets quite intense after the "instructions" - it's quite better than X4. X6 I like but I haven't finished it so I can't say. I think, so far, X5 is much better.
I think X & X2 music is great, just not most of X3's soundtrack (which hurts my soul) and yes it's infectious. Also I mean't that I don't like X3's bosses, that game can be difficult! ;) Maybe I'll give it another shot soon, I still haven't done everything in that game.
those who can't make, mod
Yeah, the bosses have been gradually increased in cheapness after X3. The bosses all the X series afterwards are cheap in varying factors, so yeah, you're right there.
And yes, the music in X especially is a classic - but also in MegaMan 2. That's Nes synth at its best.
X5 is good? I saw that the game supposedly ran on a timer (that's what I assumed from reading the jewel case backing), and decided to not buy it. Maybe I'll go pick it up today ($5).
seconded!Originally Posted by Rabid Peanut-Butter
hardly anything comes close to rockman in terms of music.
well, kirbys adventure and the ninja gaiden series maybe but thats it imho.
gotta love these synthie-guitars that were introduced with x on the snes, too.
plus, im a nutter for the opening stage songs in x-x3, i could listen to them all day long. ;)

Very well worth it, sir.Originally Posted by Taemos
Not precisely a timer, but it does count one "entry" to one of th emaverick's stages as an hour and you have 14 I think, to finish the game entirely.
The Japanese version, which is what I've played, has a superior intro with a great song called "Monkey" - but I don't know if it's any different from the american version in terms of gameplay, so expect that limitation. Not really a factor, though.

If you happened to be in Oerlikon last week, you could have witnessed an entire three-story building weighing 6,200 metric tons moving down the street.
That's right; a small army of engineers and technicians picked up a house, put it on rollers and very slowly pushed it - at the snail's pace of three metres and 20 centimetres per hour - sixty metres down the street.
This technical feat was done to make room for an expansion to Oerlikon's train station, all in the name of progress, that timeless story of the old making way for the new.
Those in charge of the project even thought it would be clever, by means of a giant banner attached to the front of the building, to quote (in German) the Sicilian writer Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa to justify their actions: "Alles muss sich ändern, damit es bleibt" - "If you want things to stay as they are, things will have to change."
Both the house-moving and its banner got me thinking about the idea of permanence and its importance to mankind vis-à-vis the inevitability of gradual and imperceptible change, especially in terms of living here in Switzerland.
While the two notions are universal to every culture that populates the globe, they seem especially relevant here in the land of the Swiss, where permanence and change regularly seem to butt their metaphorical heads, oftentimes leading to strange discrepancies and contradictions that make this country such an interesting place to call home.
Case in point: just take a look at any process that involves any sort of governing in Switzerland.
By all accounts it can be described as slow and laborious. The framers of the Swiss constitution designed it in a way so that laws can only get passed if general consensus is reached by all parties involved.
A safeguard (or a handicap) created to ensure that things don't change too quickly.
However, on the flip side of that same coin, the Swiss can also pass legislation by means of popular referendum, which can lead to rash, somewhat myopic laws, such as the ban on minarets, which passed in 2009.
In their rush for permanence - i.e. trying to preserve and protect the traditional image of Switzerland - the referendum's supporters made drastic and unprecedented changes to the country's constitution, which, I guess, brings us full circle back to the symbolism of last week's events in Oerlikon.
For things to stay the same, everything must change. Which houses will we need to move next?
