A/N: Yes, I know it's been over half a year since I updated! I apologize to the four or five readers who have been looking forward to this chapter for so long. Life just got in the way. I quit a job and got a better one, found an apartment, and finally got serious about publishing my children's book (mailed it to a publisher, waiting for the results). So my fanfiction had to be put on the back burner. But I like this story too much not to dust it off and update it from time to time. I must admit, though, that when I went back and read the first chapter recently, I said to myself, "Wow, this really isn't very good. I don't think I would want to keep reading it if I hadn't written it." Okay, actually, I would keep reading it, but only because it stars Ma and Max. Anyway, that was over a year ago (!), and I believe my writing has improved since then.
This fanfic has official fanart now! It's the scene from Chapter 5 where Nina is talking to the mouse. View the illustration in all its wonderful Photoshop glory at Holbyta's fanart site. There's a link to it at the top of my bio. Thanks a million, Holbyta!
Chapter 6:
The leopard jumped onto the branch just below the two meerkats, and Nina felt her gut clench with terror. She couldn't think straight; she could only react. As the leopard quickly scaled the tree with its powerful legs, Nina and Max clambered up as high and fast as they could, up to the thin twigs at the top. Nina hoped the heavy cat wouldn't be able to climb that high without breaking the branches, but he balanced on a thicker, lower limb and reared up on his hind legs. A huge paw with five sharp claws shot up at her. Without thinking, she leapt sideways to dodge the claws, and suddenly the ground rose up to meet her. The leaves rustled as she fell past them, and she heard her uncle shout her name. Then her paws slammed into the ground, and she twisted her head up to see the leopard falling down toward her. She sprinted away through the grass. There was a dull thud when the leopard landed behind her, but Nina didn't look back; she just kept running, faster and farther than she would have ever thought possible. Yet it still wasn't fast enough. She knew she couldn't outrun a leopard. It seemed that every breath might be her last. If only she had a place to hide! But all she could see were grass and trees and sky. The leopard's soft footfalls were right on her tail, barely audible above the pounding of her heart.
Then Nina came to the crest of a hill and saw an elephant-sized boulder rising out of the ground at the bottom of the slope. A crack split it from top to bottom, and it looked just wide enough for her to fit inside. She practically flew down the hill and darted into the crevasse. As she scurried deep into the broken rock, two claws sliced the skin on her back. The sudden pain drove her forward even faster, and she had to turn sideways as the crack narrowed. Panting, she looked back to see the leopard's paw stretch toward her. It stopped two full body lengths short. It strained, toes spread, claws extended - then it slipped back toward its owner.
Only then did Nina lean against the side of the crack, trembling and trying to catch her breath. She was safe...But what about Max? Somehow she had to make sure he was all right. Though she was injured, she sensed that the scratches weren't deep, and she had developed a high threshold for pain.
Nina could see that the crack kept going narrower until there was hardly any space at all, only a jagged line of blue. She looked back the way she had come and saw the leopard's claws scrape against the inside of the crack again. Half his face was visible, and his pupils were as wide as ostrich eggs. No doubt the smell of blood excited him: it meant he had scored a hit. She shuddered again.
There was soil beneath Nina's paws, but not enough space to dig. She couldn't try climbing up the crack; the leopard would beat her to the top of the rock. If anyone was ever truly stuck between a rock and a hard place, it was Nina.
Then it struck her that she didn't have to escape to make sure Max was safe. As long as the leopard was right there trying to get at her, he couldn't chase Max. She made up her mind to keep the big cat occupied as long as possible. It was only a temporary solution, but she couldn't think of anything else to do. So she crept toward the leopard, as close as she dared, then quickly scooted back when he swatted at her. She continued to scoot forward and back, over and over. It was almost a game, but Nina wasn't having any fun at all. She still had no idea how she was going to meet her uncle again, and twilight was starting to set in.
After a little while, Nina heard - and felt - a very soft scraping above her head, slightly toward the wide end of the crevasse. It took her a moment to pick out the small figure shadowed against the stripe of deep blue twilight.
"Uncle Max!" Relief surged through her - then it vanished like a wisp of steam when the leopard tilted his head up and jumped to the top of the rock.
"Get down! The leopard-!" But Max had started to climb down even before she warned him. He scrambled down to her level surprisingly fast.
"I knew I smelled blood." His face was the picture of concern as he looked her over. "Any broken bones? Is your tail missing? Never mind, I see it now. Did you-"
"Oh, Max!" Nina threw one arm around his shoulder and gave him a tight half-hug in the cramped space. She felt him shaking. "I'm fine, except for a couple of scratches. How about you?"
"I'm all right," said Max. "Though I think I might be going crazy, getting that close to a leopard on purpose."
Nina grinned. "You must turning into-" She broke off, knowing Max didn't like to talk about her dad.
To her surprise, Max simply raised an eyebrow and said, "Turning into your father? You better hope I'm not if you want me to live to ten." He gently placed his paw on her back. "Now let's have a look at those scratches."
Max examined Nina's wounds and cleaned them a bit, stopping to flinch whenever the leopard shoved his paws into the crack. But soon the leopard seemed to realize that the two meerkats were staying put, so he stalked off in search of easier prey.
Nina and Max knew the folly of venturing out of hiding right after a predator leaves. As they waited between the two halves of the rough, cold boulder, Nina's heartbeat slowed, and she began to think about Max. She'd never expected him to go toward a big carnivore, but the journey away from the colony seemed to be pushing him to take more risks. Then there was the fact that he had said more about her father in the past three days than he had in the three years since Buzz had died. Nina had been thinking about her dad a lot, too. There was something comforting about the way he'd never hesitated to jump into a fight, the way he had looked into a carnivore's eyes without showing any fear. Uncle Max always said there was something wrong with Buzz's head, and maybe there was, but Nina wouldn't have wanted it any other way. It was ironic, though, that the great Fearless Buzz had never gone past Shouting Range. He'd never had a real reason to leave, though. He loved his colony and believed that he had a duty to protect them even at the cost of his own life.
There had been a time when Nina thought she loved the gang too: Swifty, Flinchy, Joe and all the rest. Perhaps a small, deep part of her still did. But the evening Timon left, when Nina told the others he had gone away, almost all of them looked relieved. They all told her how sorry they were, and wasn't it a shame, and when was she going to have the memorial? That last one sent her over the edge. In any case, their words were all empty; she could hear in their voices and see in their eyes that they were glad Timon had moved out. And just that afternoon she'd told Timon that they all needed to look after each other!
Max had been no better than the others at first. He hadn't even pretended to be upset. The big difference with Max was that, when faced with a decision, he showed that he cared. He went with her. No one else had said so much as "Take care of yourself."
Nina sighed, feeling lost on many levels. Then she reminded herself that she would find Timon very soon. But what then? Should they go back to a colony that couldn't stand them? Or should they, perhaps, help Timon continue his search for the perfect home? Nina had given Timon her blessing, but she wasn't so optimistic that she was completely out of touch with reality. Even if they did find such a place, she couldn't see the point of starting a new colony if they couldn't keep it going after they died. Timon would have to find a girlfriend.
She shook her head, surprised at her own thoughts. Her baby, fathering kits! What was she thinking?
"Nina." Max nudged her. "It's dark. We should start digging while the night's young."
"Sure," she said, still musing. "The colony's probably asleep by now. Lucky them."
"Ah, the colony." Max inclined his head and folded his arms. "Yeah, I'm sure they aren't losing any sleep over us. I don't know if you noticed, but they didn't seem all that upset when we left. Not a wet eye among them."
"Yes, I did notice," she said in a slightly ironic tone.
There was a pause; then Max shrugged and said, "Come on, we got a tunnel to dig."
He shuffled toward the wide end of the crack, and Nina followed right behind him. Standing on tiptoe, she peered out over his head. The open hill rose before them, blued out under the darkening sky, and the moon was like a great glowing eye. Chilly air blew straight through their fur, carrying the scents of the leopard, jackals, and other creatures of the night. For a moment the meerkats stood there, taking in every smell, sight and sound.
"Well go on, I think it's clear," said Nina, giving Max a light push. He darted forward, chose a random spot on the ground and scratched his way into it. Nina followed, shutting her eyes and ears as the soil flew up at her. The descent went smoothly until she thought she heard Max yell. Her eyes and ears snapped open, and she saw the tunnel slanting down at a steep angle, with an opening shortly ahead. But she couldn't see Max at all.
"Max?" She scuttled toward the opening and saw that Max had accidentally dug into a large chamber, far bigger than any of the meeting chambers in their colony. Max was picking himself off the floor below and looking wildly around at the warthogs. Yes, the warthogs. There were five sows with several piglets huddled behind them, and they seemed just as astonished as Max.
"I told you I heard something," said one of the sows.
Nina dropped down to join Max, and the sow who had spoken frowned. "How many of you are there?"
"It's just us two." Nina shook dust from her head and looked up at the warthogs, whose tusks gleamed in the faint moonlight. "We're sorry for intruding. We didn't know anyone lived down here." Heat flushed Nina's cheeks; she hadn't felt this embarrassed since Timon's last tunnel accident.
Glancing around, she made out three large tunnels leading out of the chamber in different directions. "So, uh, we'll be leaving now. Which way is the exit?"
A warthog with a chipped tusk indicated with her head. "That way, take the left fork."
"Thanks. Come on, Uncle Max." The older meerkat was apparently trying to shrink into himself. Grabbing his arm, she started toward the tunnel - then she hesitated. She mustn't miss any opportunity to ask someone about her son. She cleared her throat.
"By the way, we're looking for my son. Have you seen a young red-haired meerkat with five stripes?"
Most of the warthogs continued to stare in surprise, but the one with the chipped tusk was now fairly composed. "Hm, I've seen two red-haired meerkat rogues lately, but I didn't get a good look at either of them."
Max recovered his voice. "He would have passed this way a couple of months ago."
"No, the mouse said..." Nina paused as she felt a nagging sensation. Something didn't add up, but she was too tired to think about it properly.
"Think about it, Nina. Timon left over two months ago. We've been traveling for a week. Do you really think Timon would stay here all that time? Does this look like a paradise to you?"
"Hey, this is our home you're talkin' about!" one of the piglets piped up.
Max readily included the piglet into the conversation. "It's not a bad place, but it's no better than what we left behind."
Putting a paw to her forehead, Nina shut her eyes and stared hard at the backs of her eyelids. Of course she should have known right from the start, but that didn't lessen her devastation. Mice were well known for telling other creatures whatever they wanted to hear; they would say anything to avoid angering a larger animal. But Nina had been so anxious for good news that she'd immediately swallowed the mouse's statement as if it were the tastiest grub. Now she felt more lost than ever.
A warthog's voice reached her ears. "Are you okay?"
Nina opened her eyes and let her hand slid down the side of her face as she saw all of the warthogs and Uncle Max staring at her.
"I'll be fine." She sighed. "I just need to get some sleep and figure out what to do in the morning."
"Those are some nasty scratches, though," said a sow who sounded younger than the others.
"Really? It doesn't feel that bad." Actually, her back stung a bit worse than it had when the leopard first struck her. She tried to twist her head back to look at it, then gave up. "Uncle Max said it should heal in a week."
"I made that up, I'm no healer," he muttered.
By now all of the warthogs were finally getting over their surprise, and words flowed more freely.
"You should see the shaman about that," one of them said. "I know someone who knows someone who died from an infected cut."
"Really?" said one of the piglets in alarm. "I got a mosquito bite, will I be okay?"
"I don't think there's anything to worry about." The warthog with the chipped tusk glanced around at the concerned creatures. "All the same, it would be a good idea for you to see the shaman, uh...What is your name, dear?"
"I'm Nina, and this is my uncle Max." She put her paw over her mouth as she felt a yawn coming on. Whenever she passed from the sighing stage into the yawning stage, it was definitely time to get some shuteye.
"Yes, that's it," said the warthog, as if she had met them once before but couldn't remember their names. "My name's Hanziri, by the way. Anyhow, the shaman could also tell you if he's seen your son."
Doubt crept into Nina's mind. "I had a bad experience with a shaman this week..."
"True, but he was the only one you talked to who actually spoke to Timon," said Max. "And if another shaman sent Timon after metaphors, we need to know about it."
"Good point." She clenched her fists in determination, but the effect was lost when she let out a yawn. "Where does this shaman live?"
"About a quarter-day's walk east, there's this nice stand of big trees. If the shaman's not there, his son will be, and he's almost as good," Hanziri said, smiling.
Nina returned the friendly expression and clasped her paws. "Great, thank you very much for your help. Now..." she squinted tiredly at the three tunnels. "Which one was the exit again?"
One of the young adults took a few steps forward. "I was thinking," she said. "You guys were digging for shelter, right?"
The meerkats nodded.
"And, well, you found it." The warthog glanced around at the chamber walls. "So I don't see any reason why you shouldn't stay with us for the night." She turned to Hanziri. "If that's okay with you, Mom. We have more than enough room."
"I was thinking the same thing, dear." Hanziri's piggy eyes twinkled in the moonlight. "Hospitality is the best policy."
"That's honesty," corrected another warthog.
"All right, hospitality's the second best policy, then," said Hanziri. There were murmurs of agreement all around the room.
Nina was surprised and touched by this display of kindness; however, she didn't like the idea of sleeping in a warthog den. It was full of strange smells, drafts, and echoes. But more than that, she simply wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping in a burrow filled with strange, big creatures, even though they seemed friendly enough. She looked at Max and could tell he felt the same way.
"Well, what do you say?" said one of the warthogs.
Nina cleared her throat. "Thank you for the offer, really, but I think we would rather dig our own shelter."
"Are you nuts?" said Max, grabbing her arm. "You wanna go outside with the leopards and jackals when we're safe here?"
Nina had thought she could read Max's expressions fairly well in the moonlight, but apparently she was wrong. "Since you put it that way, it does make a lot of sense to stay here for the night."
"That's right, missy." He turned to look up at the warthogs. "Thank you, we're staying. And I'm sorry about the hole in your roof."
"I like it," a female piglet spoke up, wagging her tail."It lets the moonlight shine in. It's pretty."
Nina gazed up at the way she had come in, remembering the "skylight" Timon had made no so long ago.
"Yes, it is."

A/N: I hope this chapter was easy to picture and understand. It seems like more things should have happened in a chapter of that length. Oh well.


text: It's been a stellar year so far for Oracle ( ORCL) -- shares of the $150 billion database software giant have rallied more than 21% since the first trading day in January. But the same can't be said for the last couple of months: Oracle has stumbled around 8% from its highs back in September. And now, shares look likely to continue their orderly decline. That's because Oracle is currently forming a head and shoulders top. The head and shoulders is probably one of the most well known technical setups out there; it's formed by two swing highs (the shoulders) that are separated by a higher high (the head). The sell signal comes on a move through the neckline level. Despite the popularity of the pattern, it still works: a recent academic study conducted by the Federal Reserve Board of New York found that the results of 10,000 computer-simulated head-and-shoulders trades resulted in "profits that would have been both statistically and economically significant." Ultimately, ORCL needs to break the neckline for the sell signal to trigger, but even in the best case, this stock has switched from moving higher in an uptrend to slugging lower in a downtrend. Either way, this isn't a stock that looks attractive to own right now, and momentum has indicated that since the uptrend broke back in early September. Opportunistic buyers should wait for a change in trend before putting their money on the line.

"This is the second time of having a bad experiance..."
About: Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital Margate CT9 4AN
Posted by Anonymous
What I liked
Nothing was liked
What could be improved
Better care for the elderly and confused patients
Anything else?
My father was admitted from A@E to sandwich bay ward , the day after admittance i visited him he was chatty and sitting in the chair , he has very sore feet which were beautifully dressed by A@E but noticed one one foot was not dressed and was on a very dirty floor , my concern was of infection but i just carried on dismissing the the fact that he could catch some thing . I left the hospital thinking that it would all be ok.. The next afternoon i visited later about 18.30pm with my daughter to be greeted with my dad in bed in pain as his catheter was blocked my niece and nephew was also there who had already asked for a bladder wash out to be done or new catheter to be put in ( my dad suffers terrible with UTI and needs wash out regulary) the nurse on duty said only a doctor could do this and he would have to wait . In the mean time my dad wished to use the commode so one little nurse came over with the commode expecting to get dad up on her own and sit him on , I had to help her to do this and remake the soiled bed which i had changed. This is only a brief out line of my concerns.

Author | Jagadeesh Krishnamurthy | Thursday, Feb 15,2007 7:40 AM
In a bid to spread its wings in the international horizons, Fabmall.com, an e-commerce player from India, has recently acquired the US based online retailer Indiaplaza.com. With this move, the company intends to branch out its retailing activities across the world under the common brand name of Indiaplaza.
While Fabmall.com was catering to the e-commerce needs of Indians, Indiaplaza.com is primarily focussing on providing Indian products to the Non Resident Indian (NRI) community living in the US.
Reasoning the use of Indiaplaza as the common brand name, K Vaitheeswaran, COO, Indiaplaza.in (formerly Fabmall.com) stated, "With the 'Indian' in the brand name, it provides an emotional connect with the consumers, domestic or abroad. Moreover, we are planning to expand our services to markets in Europe and South Africa, where there is a sizeable number of NRIs settled."
Param Parameswaran, Chairman, Indiaplaza.com, said, "The Internet retailing business targeting Indians and Indian products is on the verge of explosive growth worldwide. The combined entity will be a dominant player in both these markets. Further, nobody else has on-the-ground operations and logistics in these markets to deliver a customer experience equal to ours."
Elaborating more on the operations and logistics, Vaitheeswaran explained, "A company needs local presence of offices and warehouses to have a proper retail management service. In India, we are the only retailers to have these facilities and in US too, we are having the facilities for distribution."
Fabmall.com has quite a large catalogue of over 3.5 million products available online and claims to be the only e-commerce company in India with in-house warehousing and delivery systems along with providing end-to-end control over the entire ecosystem of e-commerce including web technologies, merchandising, logistics and customer service.
The company also has a chain of stores in the city of Bangalore which will retain their brand name 'Fabmall'. Vaitheeswaran described this as a method of distinguishing the online and offline business entities.
Based out of Austin, Texas, Indiaplaza.com has been selling Bollywood based entertainment items along with other Indian products to the NRIs in the USA to send gifts to India. The company too has in-house warehousing and delivery systems based in the USA. With the collaboration, Indiaplaza will now be working out of Bangalore and Chennai in India and Austin in the USA.
One of the new initiatives from the player includes a special contest that challenges customers to find a book or a mobile phone at a price lower than available on Indiaplaza.in.

Mr. HIMES. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of the amendment offered by my colleague from Oregon.
And with all due respect to the ranking member, I think the effort to limit these subsidies is both fiscally responsible, more in keeping with the kind of market economics that so many of us in this Chamber believe are the right way to go, and will help the health of the American people, something that will have a dramatic impact on the rising health care costs in this country.
Mr. Chairman, the amendment would limit the total title I payments to farm entities to less than $125,000 a year. It doesn't eliminate them; it simply limits them. Under current law, market loan payments, loan deficiency payments, and commodity certificates are not capped, and entities can receive unlimited title I dollars.
Mr. Chairman, 4 hours ago in this Chamber, we debated amendments that would eliminate and gut the WIC program, WIC--women, infants and children. This is a program that seeks to provide basic food to poor children, to poor families.
There were amendments that would eliminate the Food for Peace program whereby we send food--in those bags that we've all seen, ``A gift from the people of the United States of America''--to people who are starving around this planet, a gift from the people of the United States of America at a moment when we can use friends. And we said we're going to gut them, we're going to reduce them. Why would you do that? You would only do that if you face the kind of budget constraints that we face today. A brutal necessity to find savings.
Here we have an opportunity to save nearly $1 billion in subsidies to large producers. These are not small farmers, as my colleague from Oregon said. The top 10 percent of subsidy recipients receive almost three-quarters of these funds. This is not the small farmer; these are big conglomerates.
These subsidies are bailouts. We hear a lot about bailouts in this Chamber. And nobody thinks bailouts are a good thing. These are slow-motion, year-in-and-year-out bailouts of an industry.
Many of my colleagues support both the goals of fiscal responsibility and the idea that markets are efficient. Here, not only are we taking taxpayer dollars and sending them to a slow motion, perpetual bailout, but we're doing it in such a way that it creates cheap corn sugars and other things that go into the fast-food that exacerbate the obesity problem in this country. This is a bad idea. And I urge my colleagues to support this amendment for both fiscal health and sheer market grounds.
I yield to my colleague from Oregon.

Being an East-Coaster, my primary baseball knowledge is region loyal. While I am not a fan of the AL, as I believe the designated hitter rule changes the game entirely, for the worse, I do believe that the race in the AL East will be one of the more exciting stories in baseball this season.
AL East (ranked from 5th to 1st):
5. Baltimore Orioles - Many of you may be saying to yourselves at this point "the Baltimore who?" To clarify, this is the team that traded off Miguel Tejada, mere days before he was implicated in the Mitchell report. That may have been the smartest move any team could have pulled the trigger on this offseason. While Tejada can still perform, a team in the basement of a division does not need the distractions that Tejada will assuredly bring with him to the Houston Astros. The Orioles also have traded one of the best pitchers in the league in Erik Bedard to the Seattle Mariners. I won't pretend to know how good a deal that was for them, apparantly they got some good propects for him, and if that turns out to be true, I say the Orioles gained more by selling Bedard at a high than retaining him and still losing 90+ games. The Orioles are in dire need of a complete overhaul, and these two trades have definitely begun that process.
4. Tampa Bay Rays - Surprisingly, this team does not seem as bad as they should. Unfortunately for them, they are competing in a division that is so top-heavy, no one can even really buy the talent needed to succeed these days. Luckily for the Rays, they have some great young talent in pitchers Scott Kazmir and Matt Garza, catcher Dioner Navarro, outfielder B.J. Upton, along with the experienced Cliff Floyd to mentor them. Looking over the Rays entire roster should excite their (small) fan-base, in knowing that a few years down the line, assuming they can retain these players, they may actually rise in the ranks of this division. The have already begun to leap-frog over teams (see: Baltimore Orioles), and it is only a matter of time until they are actual contenders.
3. New York Yankees - This may come as a huge surprise to many of you baseball fans, and believe me when I say that I do not mark this ranking in stone. I do admit as well that it would be stupid to discount the Yankees this season by saying they are not contenders, however I firmly believe they will have a very difficult fight to take this division. This may be the first time in 13 years that the Yankees may not clinch a playoff berth. The success of this team hinges on the arms of Mike Mussina, Ian Kennedy, and Phil Hughes. Joba Chamberlain should remain in the bullpen to set-up for Mariano Rivera if the Yankees would like to see themselves play deep into October. Jason Giambi is gearing up to have a great year, more-so for himself as this is a contract year. A-Rod will have his usual 45+ homeruns and 130+ R.B.I. making the Yankees an absolute contender. Again, this is by no means a be-all end-all prediction, however the Yankees will have to work extremely hard to get back in to the playoffs this year under new manager Joe Girardi.
2. Toronto Blue Jays - Who says that Canada can't compete? We all make a little fun of them neighbors to the north but the truth is, not since the days of Roger Clemens juicing in his special apartment on the western side of Niagara Falls has this team been able to compete whole-heartedly in this division. If A.J. Burnett can have an injury-free year along with B.J. Ryan, as supporting characters for Roy Halladay (who may just win this years AL Cy Young award), these birds can fly their way into winning the wild-card race, if not more. The addition of gold-glover Scott Rolen at third base adds a bit of depth to the infield while infusing the line-up with a second bat the Jays have sorely missed since the departure of Carlos Delgado. Not to say Rolen is on the same level as the former All-Star when Delgado was at the same point in his career, but a move away from St. Louis and Tony LaRussa should do Rolen well, and will hopefully allow him to rebound from a mediocre 2007. Certainly The Big Hurt, Frank Thomas should play a major role assuming he's fully healthy, while the table is set by the peskiest of lead-off men, David Eckstein.
1. Boston Red Sox - ...and now please welcome the starting line-up for your 2007 World Series Champions Boston Red Sox! For real, you would think that the rivalry in the AL East couldn't get any better and yet it most certainly has. Adding a third team to the mix in the Blue Jays will definitely make the competition for first place, and indubitably the wild-card position that much more interesting. Of course there is no comparrison in baseball, let alone sports as a whole, that can compete with the rivalry between the Yankees and Red Sox. The Sox yet again field a team that reads like a latter-day All-Star squad. Notable returnees include David "Big Papi" Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, and the perfect mix of young and old. While the Red Sox may have acted too quickly in signing Curt Schilling to a contract extension this offseason, fans should not worry about Josh Beckett and his ailing back. Beckett should start a minimum of 27 games, that includes calculations for blister problems which he's bound to have. Daisuke Matsuzaka should have a great season, being that he has a year under his belt in the Major Leagues, and will be comfortable his second go-round. In addition the signing of Sean Casey as well as Bartolo Colon can only help this team being that they were signed for virtually no money.
All in all, this years AL East Race is looking like it could go down to the wire, and should make for an exciting September!

Remains Found In Brazoria County Belong To Woman Who Disappeared 19 Years Ago
KPRC screenshot
Nineteen years ago, a young graduate student studying criminology at the University of North Texas disappeared just after her class toured the Denton Police Department. The student, Kelli Cox, had locked her keys in her car and called her boyfriend to come pick her up. When he arrived, she was gone.
Yesterday, the investigation finally came to a close when forensic experts identified remains found in a field along Highway 288, about 30 miles south of Houston, as belonging to Cox. Cox's suspected killer, William Reece, had led authorities to the dig site, telling them that this was where he had buried Cox and, nearby, also 17-year-old Jessica Cain in 1997.
Shane Kizer, a spokesman with the Denton Police Department, told the Houston Press that, after the remains were found earlier this month, they were shipped to UNT's Center for Human Identification and Laboratory of Forensic Anthropology, where experts used Cox's past dental records to match them with the dental remains, something the Kizer says yields swift results. In less than a week, the forensic experts had a positive identification.
"There's sorrow that comes with this ending, but I think there's an emotional release of closure—we finally have some answers," said Kizer, adding that Denton investigators had exhausted dozens of leads over the years to no avail. "And hopefully the continuance of this investigation will provide some more answers as to how and why."
Forensic crews found a different set of remains on March 18 in a nearby horse pasture, another area where Reece had led investigators. At the time, a Houston Police Department investigator said the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office would have to conduct DNA testing on the remains to see if they belonged to Cain, the results of which are still pending.
Cain disappeared when she was 17 following a dinner with the cast from a high school play, in which she had just performed. Police would soon find her truck abandoned on Interstate 45 near Texas City. Interest in her case was renewed last year after DNA tests linked Reece to other cold-case kidnappings from the same time period.
In September, Reece was convicted in the murder of a 19-year-old Oklahoma girl, whose case had dragged on for 18 years unsolved. Reece is also the primary suspect in the death of 12-year-old Laura Smithers, who disappeared after going for a jog in Friendswood; her body later turned up in Pasadena. He is already doing a 60-year sentence in Texas for the aggravated kidnapping of another young Texas woman and has been behind bars since 1998. He had previously served a ten-year prison sentence in Oklahoma for kidnapping and raping two other young women. He was released in 1996. According to the Houston Chronicle, he has been suspected, charged or convicted in at least seven incidents, five of which were in 1997 alone, including Cain's and Cox's disappearances. The Chronicle also reported that, in the two years that Reece was free between 1996 and 1998, he was convicted of stealing two bulldozers, which investigators now believe he used to bury Cox and Cain.
Last week, just after Cox's remains were found, Cox's mother, Jan Bynum, told KHOU, "I've said all along if she's gone I want to know. If this is Kelli and she's gone, I want this whole journey to bring some sort of good to someone."

Wilkinson backing for Lancaster
Jonny Wilkinson tells skysports.com Stuart Lancaster is the perfect man to instil the correct virtues in a new dawn for England.
By Peter Fraser - Follow me on twitter @SkySportsPeteF
Last Updated: 05/01/12 4:47pm
Jonny Wilkinson believes Stuart Lancaster's appreciation of rugby union's amateur era makes him the perfect man to instil the correct virtues in a new dawn for England.
Lancaster will name his Elite Player Squad on January 11 ahead of the Six Nations and he has already given indication of a new, firm stance after axing Danny Care over the scrum-half's drink-drive offence.
England are attempting to rid themselves of the memory of this autumn's World Cup debacle, having returned home from New Zealand in disgrace after on-field failures mixed with off-pitch scandals.
And Wilkinson has no doubts interim coach Lancaster is the right appointment, despite his status a relative unknown when compared to predecessor Martin Johnson, who resigned in November.
Lancaster's appreciation of the days before rugby union turned professional in 1995 will, according to England legend Wilkinson, help to develop the correct disciplines, values and motivations among the squad.
"He is very much aware of that era of guys who had just got used to getting paid to play rugby having spent their lives leaving the office to go and train and then play on a Saturday," the 2003 World Cup-winner exclusively told skysports.com of England's new leader.
Fabulous power
"Being able to then do that for money gave them an appreciation and an ability to embrace it and make the most of it. I think that added something special to it. For me, it had a massive imprint in terms of creating the values which have since stuck with me.
"These were displayed to me by the England team of that era. I think, certainly, Stuart Lancaster is very aware of the fabulous power that comes with guys who really embrace everything they get.
"They put rugby ahead of everything else and take the team up there with it. I think it is Stuart Lancaster's job to create the culture and the environment to ensure that it is something that follows."
One of Lancaster's early decisions as coach has been to scrap a winter training camp in Portugal in favour of relocating to his local club in Leeds, West Park Leeds RUFC, during late January.
And Wilkinson, who also reached the 2007 World Cup final with England, thinks his country has a lot of improvements to make ahead of the beginning of the defence of their Six Nations title.
"The next step for England is to work out where they are and work out where they want to be and quickly work out what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. What is helpful and what is not helpful with regards to achieving the bridging of that gap," he said.

I usually have about 7 hours, but lately I've not been sleeping too well so I've only been having about 3 hours sleep every night
Most Helpful Guy
I get 2-3 hours a night because my anxiety is so bad and my brain won't stop working. I blame myself. I told myself. I told myself I wasn't going to trip and fall into feelings with her but I did and then I believed her when she told me she loves me and everything she said then one day I was irrelevant and obsolete11|00|0
So sorry to hear that. It's very painful when you think someone cares about you more than they actually do
I should have known better
I can relate to that.
Sometimes when we love someone we don't see that they don't feel the same. I've come to realise that most people are only loyal to their own priorities. Once their priorities change then so do their loyalties.

Granted, I'm a bit shorter when standing casually.11|00|0
Wow you are tall :)

Several Sites Infected With Malware 2.7.1
In the last day, about a dozen my WP sites hosted on the same IP have been infected with a malware script. These sites are now blocked on FireFox and have been tagged by Google as installing malicious software without the user's consent. I've contacted my host and they tell me they are going to clean it up. I was using very strong passwords. My host tells me that the sites were hacked by someone exploiting a vulnerability in WP 2.7.1.
Now I'm going to have to go to war with Google once the sites are cleaned which I would prefer to avoid. Obviously I'm losing money, big time.
I'm a realy dummy when it comes to this stuff. How can I prevent this on my sites hosted on other IPs?

Cultural visit to the Ju'/hoasi Bushmen of the Kalahari
In Africa, as in many places, the ethics with regards to the world of cultural visits is often questionable. Not so your encounter with the Ju'/hoasi Bushmen of the Kalahari, members of which have had at least 4 generations worth of mutually respectful relationships with a handful of outsiders.
Based at one of Botswana's oldest and most respected camps, Uncharted Africa's Bushmen Mobiles, a journey steeped in the ways and values of a unique ancient culture, your encounter with the Bushmen of the Kalahari will include learning the Bushman's unprecedented knowledge of plants, of the animals they track, the jewellery and art they make, the games they play.
Most unusually, and depending on the length of your visit, you will witness the trance dance, the Bushmen's means of contact with their ancestors. Designed to heal the present, it is an extraordinary, unforgettable experience.
Approximate Costs
Costs for a two week Botswana safari, to include a visit to the Bushmen of the Makgadikgadi and the western Kalahari, hosted by Ralph Bousfield, costs from US$16,000/ £10,500 per person

This patent resulted from a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/540,854, filed Jun. 20, 1990 now abandoned.
This invention relates to dry etching of semiconductor silicon substrate wafers.
Integrated circuits are formed on semiconductor silicon substrate wafers by a series of laying, patterning and doping steps. Patterning typically involves photolithography where a layer of photoresist is applied and then selectively removed in a masking step. This exposes those areas in the upper layer of the wafer which are to be removed or etched away.
The purpose of the etching operation is to remove portions of the top layer of the wafer through the holes, or openings, which are selectively formed in the photoresist layer. In this manner, the pattern of the photoresist mask is transferred to the top layer of the wafer. The etching operation should not disturb the underlying surface, and only remove material from the upper layer of the wafer.
Etching is typically performed with one of the following methods: wet (liquid) chemical etching, plasma etching, ion beam etching, or reactive ion etching (RIE). The term "dry etching" is a collective definition which includes any of plasma etching, ion beam etching or reactive ion etching. This disclosure concerns improved dry etching methods.
In a pure plasma etch, a high energy RF field induces gases injected into a reactor into the plasma state which causes a reaction with the exposed layer on the wafer. A pure ion beam etch, on the other hand, uses ion beams for removal of the exposed upper layer. In this method, the atoms of an inert gas (such as argon) are ionized by an RF field and directed towards the wafer. The positively charged atoms accelerate as they move toward the wafer. On impact, the top layer exposed through the photoresist is physically removed, or "blasted away" from the surface by the impinging ions.
Both the RIE method and ion beam removal method exhibit minimal undercutting beneath the photoresist. The terms "undercutting" and "isotropic etching" are synonymous and result in etching material to the side as well as in the downward direction. The term "anisotropic etching" defines an etch which removes material in only one direction. In order for an etch to be directional, there must be some directional (ion) component such as an ion beam. Plasma etch is an isotropic etch (i.e. no directionality). Pure ion beam etching promotes an anisotropic etch. However, both exhibit poor etch selectivity. "Selectivity" is a term which defines the removal of the underlying material or film. The better the selectivity for a given material, the less that material will be etched under given etch conditions. Where selectivity to the desired stop point of the etch is poor, the end point for the etch becomes critical in order to avoid overetching.
Reactive ion etching is a combination of plasma and ion beam removal at the wafer surface. The etching gas is injected into the reaction chamber and ionized. The individual molecules accelerate to the wafer surface. There, top layer removal is achieved by both physical bombardment and chemical action of the ions with the upper layer. The typical reactive ion etch employs a mixture of gases. The mixture will include one or more gases which are reactive with the surface, as well as a single inert or noble gas which provides the majority of the ion beam bombardment etching effect.
This combination bombardment/chemical etch results in an etch process that is more controllable. It also promotes improved sidewall passivation which results in an improved anisotropic etching effect. The reactive gases or etch by products form a polymer with the sidewalls of the opening as the etching proceeds down into the layer. The formation of this polymer film, termed "sidewall passivation", retards etching of the sidewall. It is removed in a later processing step after etching is completed.
As the individual components of integrated circuits get smaller, the openings in the photoresist layer for etching likewise become smaller. Reactive ion etching is credited with enabling somewhat reliable production where the opening size shrinks to about one micron wide. However, there is room for much improvement. For example, wider openings tend to etch at a different (typically higher) rate than which narrower openings are etched. This undesirable phenomenon is commonly referred to as "loading effects" due to the higher loading of components per unit area on the wafer. The goal is to achieve substantially uniform etching regardless of the size of the openings being etched, and thus that there be minimal loading effect.
In addition to uniformity of the etch regardless of opening size, it is desirable to achieve uniform etching across the surface of the wafer. Some etching gases produce a better anisotropic etching effect towards the edge of the wafer than they produce towards the center of the wafer. With such gases, the yield of usable chips at the center of the wafer is less than at the edge, thus reducing overall yield.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic fragmentary section illustration indicating poor center-to-edge etch uniformity in a semiconductor silicon wafer 10. FIG. 1 is a representative of an actual profile obtained of a reactive ion etch of an SiO2 layer within a small gap (0.38 cm) Tegel™ 903E reactor. In the context of this document, the term "small gap" refers to a parallel plate reactor where the gap between the plates is less than or equal to 1 cm. The conditions were 600 watts of applied power and a pressure of 1750 mtorr, with the upper electrode being maintained at 45� C. and the lower electrode being maintained at 19� C. The injected gases were SF6 at 6 sccm, CHF3 at 45 sccm, and He at 130 sccm.
Wafer 10 is represented with an outer edge 12 and a central area 14. It is comprised of a doped monocrystalline substrate 16, polysilicon sections 18a and 18b, and an SiO2 layer 20. A layer of photoresist 22 has been applied atop SiO2 layer 20, and exposed to present openings 24 and 26. These were etched by the above mixture and produced the illustrated profile. As is apparent, the center-to-edge etching uniformity is poor. Hole 24 near edge 12 exhibits an acceptable profile, while hole 26 near center 14 exhibits a poor, unacceptable profile.
FIG. 2 illustrates an etch of a wafer of the same configuration, now designated with the numeral 30, using a different gas feed but otherwise under identical conditions. Here, the injected gas mixture consisted essentially of SF6 at 6 sccm, CHF3 at 45 sccm, and Ar at 130 sccm. As illustrated, center-to-edge uniformity is good. The profile of edge opening 24a was found to be substantially the same as the center etched opening 26a profile. However, the selectivity in both instances to the polysilicon 18a, 18b is very poor, as indicated by the jagged lines. The diameter of openings 24, 24a, 26, 26a referred to in the above experimental examples were each 0.8 microns.
A need remains for an improved dry etching method having good center-to-edge uniformity and good selectivity to the underlying layer.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary diagrammatic and exaggerated sectional view of a portion of a semiconductor silicon substrate wafer, and is discussed in the Background section above.
FIG. 2 is fragmentary diagrammatic and exaggerated sectional view of a portion of another semiconductor silicon substrate wafer, and is also discussed in the Background section above.
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary diagrammatic and exaggerated sectional view of a portion of a semiconductor silicon substrate wafer that has been etched in accordance with the invention.
The following disclosure of the invention is submitted in furtherance with the constitutional purpose of the Patent Laws "to promote the progress of science and useful arts" (Article 1, Section 8).
Disclosed is a method of dry etching a layer on a semiconductor silicon substrate wafer within a reactor. The etch could be strictly a nonreactive ion beam etch or a reactive ion etch, with a reactive ion etch being preferred. The method provides for improved control of sidewall passivation, minimizing loading effects, and achieving improved uniformity from center to edge to produce an anisotropic etch of an unmasked area on a semiconductor silicon substrate wafer within a reactor. The method was reduced to practice, as described below, using a particular reactive ion etchant chemistry for etching a SiO2 layer on a semiconductor silicon substrate wafer, with the etchant being selective to polysilicon.
The invention comprises injecting preselected quantities of at least two noble gases of different molecular weights into the reactor. For ease of discussion, one of the noble gases will be defined as the lighter noble gas, while the other will be defined as the heavier noble gas. It is to be understood, however that of course more than two gases might be injected into the reactor for taking advantage of the combinational effect of the etching profile of different weight noble gases.
It has been discovered that using a single inert gas as an ion beam etchant component limits the amount of control that may be established for the etch. However, by utilizing a ratio of two or more inert gases, better critical parameter control can be established. Lighter inert gases provide for control of etch rate and selectivity. Heavier inert gases promote uniform center-to-edge etchant profiles. Typically, the quantity of the lighter inert gas will be provided to exceed the quantity of the heavier inert gas to achieve a desired combinational effect.
In accordance with the method, the wafers would first be positioned within the reactor. The gases would be injected to within the reactor to provide a gas mixture at a preselected pressure and at desired preselected ratios. A preselected amount of electrical power would then be applied to the reactor for a preselected amount of time to selectively obtain a desired etch of the layer being etched. The preselected ratio of the lighter noble gas to the heavier noble gas is preferably from approximately 2:1 to 10:1 �5% by volume, with 10:3 �5% by volume being most preferred. The invention was reduced to practice, as discussed below, with the lighter noble gas being helium, and the heavier noble gas being argon.
The invention has its greatest advantages in the etching of openings (unmasked areas in the layer to be etched) which have a diameter of less than or equal to 1.0 micron. Prior art methods exhibit less than optimum uniformity where openings of less than one micron are being etched simultaneously with openings of greater than one micron. As such, the method provides for greater control and reliable production when etching openings of one micron diameter or less.
The invention was reduced to practice using a Tegal™ 903E reactor having a set plate gap of 0.38 cm. The reactor was operated at 600 watts and 1750 mtorr, with the upper electrode being cooled to 45� C. and the lower electrode being cooled to 19� C. The etched substrate is illustrated in FIG. 3 and designated with the numeral 50.
Wafer 50, like those of FIGS. 1 and 2, is comprised of a doped monocrystalline substrate 52; polysilicon sections 54a, 54b; SiO2 layer 56; and a photoresist layer 58. Photoresist layer 58 has been exposed and stripped to define an opening 60a adjacent wafer outer edge 62, and an opening 60b adjacent wafer center 64. As represented by FIG. 3, a good anisotropic etch with good selectivity to polysilicon layers 54a and 54b, as well as good center-to-edge uniformity, was achieved. A uniform 88� profile was achieved with an etch rate of greater than or equal to 5000 angstroms per minute, and a selectivity to polysilicon of greater than or equal to 7:1.
The reactive gas chemistry which produced this profile consisted essentially of SF6, CHF3, He, and Ar at respective flow rates of 6 sccm, 50 sccm, 100 sccm, and 30 sccm. For such reactant chemistry for etching an SiO2 layer which is selective to polysilicon, the preferred approximate volume ratio of SF6 to CHF3 is from 1:4 to 1:15 �5%. The preferred respective volume ratios of SF6, CHF3, He, and Ar are 1.0 �5%: 8.33 �5%: 16.67 �% 5: 5.0 �5%. For a small gap parallel plate reactor such as the Tegel 903E, the preferred flow rate of SF6 is between 4.0 and 8.0 sccm, the preferred flow rate of the CHF3 is between 35.0 and 60.0 sccm, the preferred flow rate of the lighter noble gas is between 50.0 and 200.0 sccm, and the preferred flow rate of the heavier noble gas is between 10.0 and 50.0 sccm.
Table 1 below illustrates the loading effects on etching depth as being held below 10% for 0.8 micron and 0.55 micron diameter contact openings. The conditions were the same 600 watts, 1750 mtorr, with the upper electrode being maintained at 45� C. and the lower electrode being maintained at 19� C. The injected gases were SF6 at 6 sccm, CHF3 at 45 sccm, Ar at 30 sccm, and He at 100 sccm.
