Wippa now holds the record for the biggest ever fail on Australia's Millionaire Hot Seat after going home without reaching the $1,000 question!
He travelled to Melbourne for his own special taping of the show with Eddie McGuire but got stumped on the $500 question.

A very good product we use every day when baking our famous Corn Poppers, they release very easily from the pan with no scaring, nice and clean.
Richard G. from GREEN ZONE BAR & GRILL Posted on 08/03/2014
We are happy with our purchase of this all purpose spray release. It works very well. The large cans are convenient. We would recommend it to anyone.
Eric H. from B.C. Bagels Posted on 03/27/2014
This is a great alternative to more expensive spray releases. It works well for pancakes and waffles. A must have for waffle irons and sandwich presses.
Rick M. Posted on 03/26/2013
I use all purpose spray release for so many items. It works great on waffle irons, on cookie sheets, cake pans, and when I'm making eggs.
Lindsay D. Posted on 12/27/2012
I prefer this non-stick spray to many others I've used. The ingredients are very simple, so unlike commercial sprays (like Pam, for example...) you won't have several unappealing chemical components. This is affordable, and consists of simple ingredients. I like it.
Curtis C. Posted on 06/14/2012
great price for a great spray. at six cans per case the shelf life is a long time. and it takes very little to do the job.
Randall H. from family restaurant Posted on 05/26/2012

Angela H. from Harrison Familey Restaurant Posted on 02/26/2012
At first I was not sure if I would like this spray. It put out too much water and things were sticking, but after about 10 - 15 uses this problem went away and it work like a charm. Nothing has been sticking since.
Heather M. from Mears Catering Posted on 03/02/2011
This Benton Lane Spray makes my job a whole lot easier. This can last for awhile and it out performs all other competitors. I love it and recommend.
Aaron T. from Kajun Burger Posted on 05/12/2010
I find this product to be the most economical one. I have tried many others but could never get the bigger size therefore I would have to buy more. Overall this spray out preforms the others. It will be the one that I purchase for this kitchen.
Betty W. from BW's Creative Gifts Posted on 02/24/2010
I make all the desserts for my restaurant. Food release is great for my cakes. After I bake them they just fall right out of the oans with no sticking at all. I will continue to use this product for all my cakes..

TEAMS: New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, New Orleans Pelicans
TEAMS: New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, New Orleans Pelicans
New York Knicks star forward Carmelo Anthony revealed this week that he has just completed a 15-day fast. That is right, the guy that is averaging 32.3 points per game, 6.5 rebounds per game and 4.3 assists per game during January has been going without most food during that period. Apparently this is a yearly ritual for Melo. According to the NY Daily News: It's just for my own sake. Sometimes in life you need clarity in your life. You kind of want to replenish your body, build your body back, get all the toxins, unuseful things that you don't need in your body out," Anthony said. "I do this every year, once a year. I usually do it during the season, do it the same time every year," he said. "No meats. You can do carbs. No fried food, no bread, no soda. It is amazing to think that the All-Star has been playing as well as he has, given the lack of energy you would expect. However, with the fast over, Anthony is looking forward to getting into whatever food come...

Love these boots!

Narrow Toes
"These shoes are super cute and perfect with a lot of outfits. My only complaint is that they are a little too narrow in the toe region. I normally wear a size 8 and sometimes a 7.5 (especially in boots) and have very narrow feet so I was surprised there was an issue in the size 8 I ordered. I didn't return them though because they are too cute and they don't bother me too much."

"I found these boots after extensive searching and ever since they were delivered to my house, I haven't been able to take them off - I'm OBSESSED! They, while still stylish, are extremely comfy, and my only complaint would be that I wore them so much, they wore out. I strongly recommend these boots, they are absolutely amazing!! Enjoy!"

10 Classic Classroom Videos For Back-to-School Month
Hey y'all, I'm Neal, the new editor of Dailymotion's Sports and Funny channels. What's up? Cool! Yeah, me too. Anyway, since August is Back-to-School Month, which we usually prepare for with a non-stop marathon of Rodney Dangerfield's educational 1986 comedy, we thought we'd put together a step-by-step video tutorial on how to make class suck less. To quote Billy Madison on school, (*grabs chunky kid's cheeks and jiggles them vigorously*) "STAY HERE. STAY AS LONG AS YOU CAN. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. CHERISH IT." Okay, on to our lesson …
1. You can clear a classroom with a deadly fart or dress up as a Purple Panda (try not to fart, the suit's not ventilated).
2. Hate the tough guy who sits diagonally behind you? The one who looks like he eats babies? Easy. Smack the crap out of the rage-aholic who sits in front of him as he sleeps. That ought to soften him up some.
3. Stage a heroic act in which you save the day (or a hot chick's purse). Just know that Zorro's been done before. Also, be sure to have a really really chill professor who's in on the joke.
4. Trick your peers into making out with their parents.
5. Take that uppity princess down a peg and remind her that she needs to work on her weight problem / beef up those glutes.
6. Avoid classes with drunk professors who give 23-hour oral exams. Not as sexy as you think.
7. During Human Centipede 101, avoid stage dives.
8. Don't text in class. Probably not good to sext either since the prof will ask you to stand up so he can obliterate your phone. If you're a girl, sext away. (tweet at @realcinch for my number)
9. Learn how to dance. It'll impress the ladies and will prevent caning.
10. All else fails, just fake Tourette's.
If you need more pointers, just watch this classic 'Back to School' episode of 'The Man Show' with Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla. And, if you get kicked out, you can always intern for us! (Void everywhere)

TRANSLATION: A 10-year old cares more about getting first post in a blog than he does about the article, so he tries to be a crafty 12-year old and changes the wording around but instead fails like an 8-year old.
Seriously, what happened to constructive criticism? There wasn't even a "Blizzard fails, WoW is ruined" quote. So what if it's held back for another content patch? I for one am glad. My guild's 9/12 so far and I just joined, which means I can get some time to actually see the fights. Sure I'm not as good as those heroic Nefarian groups but I have my own pace of things. I'm happy tier 11 will still be useful; I only scrounged enough valor to get one piece and a tank sigil to be honest.

The Willis Tower (3 blocks from the hotel) was once the world's tallest building (1,454 ft). It is still the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and even has its own zip code. Take a tour of the Skydeck - the highest observatory in Chicago and experience the amazing skyline the City has to offer. On a clear day, you can see area landmarks such as the Tribune Tower and Wrigley Building, as well as Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. The entrance for the Skydeck is located on Jackson Blvd. Discounted tickets are available at the Concierge.
Millennium Park (4 blocks from the hotel) is an award-winning center for art, music, architectural and landscape design. This 24.5-acre park features the work of world-renowned architects, artists and designers. One of the Park's most notable attractions is the Cloud Gate sculpture on the AT&T Plaza more commonly known as the Bean Sculpture - a 110-ton elliptical sculpture, forged of a seamless series of highly polished stainless steel plates which reflect the city's famous skyline and the clouds above. The park is open daily from 6am - 11pm and admission is free.
Symphony Center (3 blocks from the hotel) is the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's home base. It is also the site for many other events, including concerts by visiting orchestras, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago and the Chicago Youth Symphony, Saturday morning children's concerts, recitals and a flourishing jazz series.
For information on scheduled events and tickets, please visit their website at www.cso.org
The Art Institute of Chicago (4 blocks from the hotel) holds one of the world's greatest art collections. The contemporary American and European exhibit is probably the most popular and includes pieces by Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. Also, the two bronze lions at the entrance of the museum are one of the most photographed landmarks in Chicago. The Museum is open every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.
Grant Park (5 blocks from the hotel) is Chicago's principal downtown park and host to some of Chicago's biggest festivals such as the Taste of Chicago, the Chicago Jazz Festival and the Chicago Marathon. The main attraction in Grant Park is the Clarence Buckingham Fountain which features a central jet shooting water up to 150ft. It is best seen at night when it is animated with computerized choreography of color spotlights. The Park also features many shaded walking trails and Lake Shore Trail, a paved multi-use path running along Lake Michigan which is great for summertime walking, jogging and biking.
Navy Pier has been a Chicago landmark since it first opened in 1916. Attractions include a permanent 150-foot-high Ferris wheel, a musical carousel and an 18-hole miniature golf course. Navy Pier Park also includes a 1,500-seat Skyline Stage outdoor performance pavilion. The Family Pavilion is home to 40,000 square feet of exciting restaurants and retail shops. Just past the Pavilion, visitors can discover the Crystal Gardens, a 32,000-square-foot indoor botanical park, which provides a year-round center for family activities. Just east of the Family Pavilion is the South Arcade, home to numerous shops, restaurants and attractions including the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre.
Enjoy a cruise on the Chicago River and learn about the City's architectural heritage - considered to be among the finest in the world. Tours depart from the northwest corner of the Michigan Avenue Bridge by the Wrigley Building. Sunset Tours, Wine Tasting Tours and combined Lake & River Tours are also available. Ticket prices vary depending on the cruise. Discounted tickets available at the Concierge.

Athletics 4, Blue Jays 1: Sonny Gray pitched seven stellar innings of one-run ball as host Oakland halted a three-game losing streak.Nate Freiman and John Jaso delivered RBI doubles and Alberto Callaspo also drove in a run as the Athletics won for the 11th time in their last 14 home games. Gray (8-3) allowed four hits and struck out five and Sean Doolittle fanned a pair in the ninth for his 12th save.Josh Thole had a pair of hits but also committed a passed ball and was doubled off first base in the eighth inning for Toronto, which had its modest two-game winning streak snapped. R.A Dickey (6-8) lost his fourth consecutive start, yielding four runs - two earned - on six hits over eight innings.Oakland answered a disputed run by the Blue Jays in the top of the second by scoring twice in the bottom of the inning on an RBI double by Freiman and a passed ball that allowed Stephen Vogt to score. The Athletics, who played the game under protest, added a pair of insurance runs in the eighth when Jaso ripped an RBI double down the right-field line and scored on Callaspo's sacrifice fly.Toronto loaded the bases with one out in the second inning when Anthony Gose grounded to first baseman Freiman, who tagged out Munenori Kawasaki, only to have the umpire put up the safe sign. Freiman fired home and Vogt, thinking the force was still on, stepped on the plate and didn't bother to tag Edwin Encarnacion. The play was reviewed and Kawasaki was called out, negating the force at the plate and allowing the run to score.GAME NOTEBOOK: Athletics LF Yoenis Cespedes went 0-for-4 to bring an end to his 15-game hitting streak, but Encarnacion extended his streak to 11 games. ... Blue Jays CF Colby Rasmus was not in the lineup due to a wrist injury while Athletics 3B Josh Donaldson sat out his second straight game with back stiffness. ... The Athletics finalized an agreement Thursday on a 10-year extension, pending formal approval by the Oakland City Council, to remain at O.co Coliseum.
Recap: Athletics 4, Blue Jays 1

I am a dialectic junky. There, I've said it. If you've read many of my essays you may have noticed that I get energy from a good contradiction. Contradictions are the foreshadowing of insight. When I believe A and not A, then if I'm willing to dig in, I'm likely to find something interesting and non-obvious.

Oklahoma City (19.8 percent) topped the chart for metro areas of 1 million to 2 million, as did Tulsa, Okla. (27.5 percent), for metro areas between 500,000 and 1 million.
"There are more deficient bridges in our metropolitan areas than there are McDonald's restaurants in the entire country," says James Corless, director of Transportation for America.
Nearly 70,000 bridges nationwide are rated "structurally deficient" and are in need of substantial repair or replacement, according to federal data. Metropolitan-area bridges carry 75 percent of the trips that are made on structurally deficient bridges, Corless says.
The Federal Highway Administra-tion estimates the backlog of potentially dangerous bridges would cost $71 billion to eliminate, while the federal outlay for bridges amounts to $5 billion a year.
— Staff reports
FTR ASSOCIATES' Trucking Conditions Index spiked 3.1 points in September to 9.2 but remains well below a recent peak of 13.3 in March. Any reading above 0 indicates an adequate trucking environment, with readings above 10 a sign that volumes, prices and margin are good for trucking companies. FTR says tight capacity control, modest growth in truck tonnage and falling fuel prices helped improve the trucking environment through September.
DETROIT is the new name for Daimler Trucks North America's Detroit Diesel brand of engines. Daimler says the change, effective next March, is intended to help expand the scope of products offered and allow Detroit to offer alternate fuel and unconventional powertrain technologies. DTNA acquired Detroit Diesel in 2003.
Coalition supports more tolls
A coalition of highway construction groups in nearly a dozen states has launched a national campaign to urge Congress to allow states to impose tolls to pay for long-overdue highway improvements.
The U.S. Tolling Coalition says Congress should provide maximum flexibility to states to add tolls to any portion of their interstate or federal highways for reconstruction and rehabilitation.
"Seventeen percent of our interstates and one quarter of our nation's bridges are structurally deficient," says Patrick Goss, coalition co-chairman and executive director of the Wisconsin Transportation Builders Association. "With Congress struggling to find the money to meet basic maintenance needs, allowing more tolling will stretch dollars, jump-start construction projects and create new jobs."
Under a pilot program, the U.S. Department of Transportation recently allowed Virginia to add tolls along the I-95 corridor in that state to pay for critical rehabilitation and upkeep. Missouri also has been cleared to add tolls. The U.S. Tolling Coalition wants to expand the program nationwide, which requires congressional authorization.
"What's good for Virginia and Missouri is good for the rest of America," says Don Shubert, coalition co-chairman and president of the Connecticut Construction Industries Association. "States are confronting accelerating pavement deterioration due to age and high traffic. As a result, American business is hurting, and we need to act now to give states the power to toll."

New Penn State coach Bill O'Brien said he's "moving forward" with his team's recruiting efforts in the wake of the alleged Jerry Sandusky child sex scandal and firing of the late Joe Paterno.
O'Brien already has two 4-star commitments for 2013, with QB Christian Hackenberg of Fork Union, Va., pledging to Penn State on Tuesday. The Nittany Lions scrambled last month to sign 19, including QB Steven Bench of Cario High School.
Bench said a few classmates "made jokes" when he committed to Penn State but that generally everybody else was supportive of his decision. Bench and his parents addressed the Sandusky and Paterno issues with the new staff, and were satisfied with the answers. O'Brien has made it clear that he's a new coach going in a new direction.
"I will say this: We were not at Penn State when that happened," O'Brien told the AJC. "There's a lot of special people here at Penn State that are involved in the investigation of what occurred. But we're here now, and we're moving forward.
"To be honest with you, we feel great about where we're at right now with recruiting. We've got a real good jump on next year's class, and we feel like there's a lot of people receiving us well out there, as it's related to Penn State football.
"Again, we've got a great staff and we talk about the future. We're not looking in the past. We're moving forward."
Bench is just the beginning of Penn State's relationship with Georgia's top prospects. The Nittany Lions are making Georgia a priority after hiring Ted Roof as defensive coordinator. Roof was a football star at Georgia Tech and Central Gwinnett High School, and has recruited the state forever. He was Auburn's defensive coordinator last season and also had a coaching stint at Georgia Tech. O'Brien was an assistant at Georgia Tech from 1998-2002.
"We're going to do what's right for Penn State," O'Brien said. "We're going to go out and find the guys that fit the Penn State profile, which is a good student, a tough and hard-nosed football player, guys that play smart football, and men that understand what it means to be part of a team.
"And whether they're from Georgia or Pennsylvania, we're going to find them and recruit them to Penn State.
Ted Roof echoed his boss's sentiments: "Recruiting is all about relationships and the product you're presenting. I just happen to know a lot of folks in Georgia and I've recruited parts of the state for, I don't know, 25 or 26 years. After playing high school football in Georgia, I certainly have an appreciation to what football means in that state."
Here are a few questions with Penn State's new coach, Bill O'Brien:

I suspect the more successful coach at recruiting the state of Georgia for Penn St will be their OL coach, a former All SEC OL at Georgia, former OL coach at Georgia, GT and Texas, Mac Mcwhorter. Mac's reputation as a recruiter far exceeds Roof. Still wondering why O'Brien hired Roof as his DC, had to be friendship certainly couldn't be merit based.
A s long as PS is recruiting the Steven Bench types they aren't going to significantly impact. Maybe one per year who may choose PS over FAU, Purdue, Toledo. Gentlemen's agreement, right!!! He needs to undertand how aggresive, ruthless and tireless Urban Meyer is on the recruiting trail, it aint a picnic and O'Brien and staff could be trampled in their own backyard. O'Brien has an almost impossible situation, he is going to need several golden horseshoes positioned in delicate areas.

You hire Ted Roof as your DC….Really? The HC doesn't seem that bright to me. Ted Roof=Willie Martinez: we can't stop anybody from scoring.

I'm no Ted Roof fan, but your comparison and logic are baseless. Ted Roof was a successful DC everywhere he has been except Auburn. He had a young defense that was paired with a spread offense designed to score quickly and provide one explosive play after another. Simple: the defense stayed on the field for too many snaps. Then this past year, the QB play totally reeked. Another recipe for disaster. Word is, Chizik wanted to rid himself of Malzahn because he wanted Auburn to get back to a more run-first, defense -oriented team like Auburn teams in the past. Roof just jumped ship early. Willie Martinez 3 + years as DC was not that bad, just not good either. He is better as a position coach. I remember when Ted Roof and Jon Tenuta were both at Tech. They were really good and put a lot of defensive guys in the NFL.

Maybe B O'B should have made Roof the recruiting coordinator instead of the DC. Douglas may be spot-on with his analogy.

I don't give a baboon's patootie about Penn State's recruiting.
Having said that, recruiter's in the SEC or ACC for that matter should be able to counter any Ted Roof sales pitch. Unless a kid has family there or just wants to play football in the north, I don't see them having a great impact.

Should Penn St be placed on some type of NCAA probation for what occurred?
I understand what Sandusky is accused of doing is in the hands of the State Courts — however, should the University receive some type of Probation?
If a booster or Coach pays a Player/HS Coach/Family Member & gets caught — Probation follows.
Why should the Penn St Football Program continue w/o sanctions when, perhaps the 2nd most powerful Coach there at the time, is being accused of Sexual Assault against Minors?….plus, a Cover Up of some kind followed — including Joe Paterno covering up info.
If Fine is guilty @ Syracuse — shouldn't their Basketball Team face serious sanctions?
I can't help but wonder if these accusations took place @ Mississippi St – Auburn – Clemson….. would there be on-the-field consequences?
My opinion — Penn St & Syracuse should get SERIOUS sanctions if these "men" are guilty.

In the misty mornin' fog
With our, our hearts a-thumpin'
And you, my hash brown girl
You my hash brown girl
And whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a really hot potato
Standin' in the sunlight laughin'
Hidin' behind a rainbow's wall
Slippin' and a-slidin'
All along the panty's fall
With you, my hash brown girl
You my hash brown girl
Do you remember when
We used to sing?
Sha la la, la la, la la, la la, l-la te da
Just like that
Sha la la, la la, la la, la la, l-la te da
La te da
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' 'bout it
Pass the salt in the green grass
Behind the stadium
With you, my hash brown girl
You my hash brown girl
Do you remember when
We used to sing?
Sha la la, la la, la la, la la, l-la te da
(Banned from the cafe!)
Sha la la, la la, la la, la la, l-la te da

Other than the fact that O'Brien and Roof were, respectively, a former Tech coach and Tech player in the past, would someone please tell me what makes this story remotely worthy of being a "feature article" under GEORGIA TECH RECRUITING? Tech fans are like UGA fans to the extent that we are interested in who is attending Junior Days, who gets offered, who is leaning this way or that way, when Richt goes to see his prospects in church or jail, etc. UGA gets a heapin' helpin' of that. On the other hand, Tech fans get asked stupid, rhetorical questions like do we think Penn State will recruit well in Georgia. The closest relevant thing to Tech recruiting I have seen lately is the story that a lineman THOUGHT ABOUT – AND – ALMOST committed. Wow! That is some pretty serious stuff! Thanks for the being on top of that, AJC!

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - The following is a statement from Trent Nickerson who has been cleared of charges after firefighters found marijuana in a house that Nickerson shared with a room mate.
Related story: Lubbock High coach cleared of drug charges
"I am relieved that this nightmare is over and my innocence has been made known. I am grateful that the justice system has worked on my behalf, clearing me of all the accusations of which I had no involvement.
Prior to this incident, I had been staying at my roommate's home for about three weeks while I looked for a permanent residence. The house did not belong to me, it was my roommate's home. With my coaching and teaching responsibilities, I left the house early in the morning and didn't return until late at night, so my time spent at the residence was very limited.
I had no knowledge of the illegal activity of which I was accused. I appreciate the support that I received from my family, friends and, co-workers during this horrific ordeal, and I am anxious to get back to my duties as a teacher and coach with the Lubbock Independent School District."

A cheap efficient and super fast computer. With limitless information storage and processing speed.
Based on Haas's invention we could gut out all the wires inside a PC tower install a few LED light transmitters and receivers capable of processing huge amounts of data almost instantly. Finally the next piece of technology to look into would be the storing and reading data through a quarts crystal. Studies show that this crystal is capable of storing thousands of terabit's of information in a very small crystal. This would also be done through light or lasers passed through points within the crystal cells. The amount of energy needed to run a PC like this could be held in a rechargeable battery. This new way of designing a computer could cost as little as $80 to make with the power of a supper computer that currently would cost $4000 or more today, and take up less space to boot.
Sep 19 2011: I have an alternative idea, because I doubt what you propose as limitless memory and speed will happen due to the economy wanting to make money. Have a look at this computer. It's a Linux computer in the form of a USB for only 25-35$ and is coming out in November: http://www.raspberrypi.org/sample-page/
Sep 11 2011: because a light wave can carry far more information than a simple electrical signal at one time.
Wires also cause other potential hazards as well such as EMF. I couldn't tell you for certain what the problems may be but it could make the difference. I think the idea is worth trying because it can be made smaller and cheaper.
Bob Shingles 10+Sep 12 2011: After working with computers for over 20 years, I have learned that there is always a bottleneck.
Lets say we use fiberless light transmission and ignore the countless issues with foreign contaminants (i.e. Dust), we would still need some form of reliable transistor.
If we used regular electronic-based chips we would have to convert the light signal to an electronic signal and there is your bottleneck.
I'm not familiar with "Haas's invention" so maybe that addresses many of the practical issues.

We had three great running backs so we can stay fresh the whole game.
(Thompson) is a very strong leader.
I probably wouldn`t mind just doing the Harry Potter movies and then making a career of conventions,
It`s harder to find somebody who likes writing checks than it is to find Nemo.
The students of the University of Alabama are a large population and we do not want to be ignored,
It is so much fun.
With the second year beginning, the team has come together. The defense looks to improve with a much-improved offense.
My (hope), and the hopes of the membership of College Democrats, is whoever wins will pay attention and address the needs of the campus community.
It`s harder to find somebody who likes writing checks than it is to find Nemo. Behavioral change associated with financial services is something that takes time.
We are e-mailing our membership to remind them to vote and let them know who is running, as well as giving them some information on both candidates so our members can make an informed decision,

Free Tax Preparation Can Help Filers Claim Federal Tax Credit
Monday February 3, 2014
Free tax services are available again this tax season to qualified Louisvillians – which can help increase the number of residents who qualify for the valuable federal tax credit known as the Earned Income Tax Credit.
This year, 27 sites are offering free tax preparation throughout Louisville.
Mayor Greg Fischer says the money can help families and the local economy.
"The EITC can be as much as $6,000 for families that have the full eligibility, which, can help start a savings account, put braces on your kid's teeth, buy a car, pay college tuition or start a college fund for your child."
The free tax service is offered to individuals and families with a gross income of less than $52,000 last year or who qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit.
The IRS says many people who are eligible for the tax credit are not aware of it and don't claim it --- leaving millions of dollars behind.
For more information about the free tax service or to find a tax preparation site near you, go to the Louisville Asset Building Coalition website at
or call the local social services help line at 211.

InPACT CEO argues on InP market recovery
> Didier MARSAN, CEO InPACT
InPACT is the primary producer of Indium Phosphide (InP) 2, 3 and 4 substrates outside of Japan. The company sells the 2 diameter mainly for opto telecom and datacom chips; the 3 and 4 products are used for high speed ICs and PICs. InPACT keeps its technical edge on surface contamination and local flatness performance and grows the longest InP boules (see below a 4 boule standard length of 40mm on the right and new process with length of 80mm on the left) . The company is a 20 year old company with its 15000sq ft manufacturing site.

The company is a 20 year old company with its 15000sq ft manufacturing site.
InP-based market has strongly suffered since 2001 with the optical telecommunication collapsing. How is the current business today?
> Didier MARSAN
The telecom market increases yearly more or less 10~15%. Even if bandwidth demand increases quicker than capacity, we do not see massive investments back yet but there are a few segments ramping up quickly (meaning with >25% CAGR) such as the tunable lasers, DWDM 40G, 10G ethernet, FFTx programs with significant PON equipment investments and obviously the related InP high speed ICs.
Apart of the optical fiber telecom business, what are the other promising applications where InP can gain momentum in a near future?
> Didier MARSAN
There are 4 non-telecom markets quite promising for the InP industry: a- The cell phone market with the opportunity of InP based power amplifier. Although GaAs HBT, SiGe and CMOS technologies are adequate for RF PAs, the InP technology is uniquely positioned to provide performance improvement at lower operating voltages and for a 2G talk-time experience with the necessary linearity. This is a disruptive technology but which can be a reality if we think that in the recent past GaAs took over silicon. The same arguments that were waged by the silicon industry against GaAs are now being waged by the GaAs industry against InP. b- The molecular detection and imaging markets using InP based broadly tunable mid-IR lasers (QCLs) is the second promising application. Targeting industrial/ environmental (NOx, Sox, CO2, ammonia ), biomedical diagnostics (breath, blood, fluids..), homeland/ security (explosives, bio-threats..). c- Next is the industry of laser display and projections with the use of InP based lasers (frequency double red 620nm) as the light engine. Potential behind is big with pocket projection, home theater and digital cinema. d- Last segment which is in fact already under an industrial mode is the night vision with InP based InGaAs focal plane arrays (FPAs), the choice of technology yielding the highest performance digital imaging at low light level. Night vision goggle/ tube needs such an enhanced performance. In all cases, there are companies working on such InP products optimizations and InPACT as a InP material producer has been interacting with most of them.
With silicon now exhibiting 77 GHz possibility, what are the key market drivers that will make InP the winning solution?
> Didier MARSAN
At 77GHz, one segment of interest remains the collision avoidance with RF module based on InP material. Still at the prototyping stage.
InPACT is one of the 3 leading companies in InP bulk crystal growth. What are the next challenge to stay in the race?
> Didier MARSAN
First of all, InPACT has been doing InP material for 20 years, has survived the bubble period and with its todays ~30% of the global merchant market (outside Japan), the company has dramatically strengthened its position. Some companies have withdrawn from this market, some non-InP crystal growth firms moved to enter the InP market but failed. There are 3 challenges for a company to maintain and even solidify a market share. One is to always have a technical edge on critical epitaxy or processed based new requirements (surface contamination, flat angle accuracy, local flatness are the latest improvements achieved by InPACT over the last years with some breakthroughs). Another one is to guarantee the highest quality consistency from one wafer to another. The third one is to bring the cost down in order to support the industry and create business opportunities especially for the (non-telecom) emerging markets described above. And the latest (big) contribution of InPACT is that we produce the longest InP boules in the world (230mm for 2inch, 100mm for 3inch and 80mm for 4inch). We will have a publication at the world InP conference in May in France.

Chater 6: Another piece of the puzzle1 Reviews
Somethings wrong. what is Julie hiding?!
The battle begins.
Chase makes the first move and runs toward Julie with his spear. Julie waits until he is close enough to strike.
She takes out a sword and blocks the attack. She pushes him back and stikes but Chase dodges it..
She smiles, "Impressive." is all she says.
She jumps in the air and strikes the floor with her sword.
The ground begins to shake. The floor begins to break into pieces. Only a few platforms are left the rest is a huge ditch.
Jack falls down the huge whole that was left be the sword. He lets out a funny scream and uses his propellers to get up and out.
He sees that this time Julie is the one to make the move and jumps toward Chase.
He dodges her attack but this time Julie does not back down, she begins to throw punches and kicks at Chase.
She is so fast it just seems like a blur!
Chase blocks the attacks and repels her. Julie lands on a platform.
Chase jumps toward her and attacks he with punches and kicks. She blocked the attacks and attacks him.
They are both fast enough to block each others attacks.
Jack already found himself a sturdy platform and just was trying to keep up with them.
The fighting has been going on for a while.
Chase is determined to get the alliance and is not backing down.
He jumps toward Julie and attacks. she dodges and sees an opening.
she takes the shot and does a spinning hook kick and hits kicks Chase in he face!
Chase gets thrown across the Dojo and hits the wall. He falls on a platform.
He looks up and sees Julie, She was a wicked smile on her face, " What's the matter Chase? Too much for you?", she tounghts him.
He growls and gets up. He yells out a battle cry as he goes toward Julie.
She smiles and jumps in the air.
Their weapons collide. They repel each other and land on a platform.
Chase jumps and lands on Julie's platform, he attacks. She blocks.
CLASH CLASH CLASH! Their weapons keep on clashing.
Julie trips Chase with her sword, grabs him by the tail, throws him in the air, she jumps up in the air, grabs him again and throws him with incredible speed back down to the ground!
It seemed as thought this would be the end.
Jacks heart is filled with joy, 'Yeah! There will be no alliance!' he thinks to himself.
Julie pins Chases arms down with her feet, she hovers over Chase with her sword pointing at him, "It's over." she says.
Chase smiles, " I don't think so.". He grabs her leg with his tail and trips her.
He quickly grabs her, throws her in the air and kicks her in the stomach and sends her flying!
Jack yells out, "NO!!!"
Julie hits the wall with her back and lets out a cry, she begins to fall.
Julie begins to see flashes of a dark shadow figure.
Jack runs to aid her. He reaches her and lifts her to her knees.
"Are you ok?" he asks worriedly.
A powerful aora forms around her, he hair begins to blow as if there was wind blowing.
She slowly lifts her head. Jack gasps.
Her eyes, they seem different somehow...
Mean while in the xiaolin Temple
Master Fung and the rest of the elder Monks are meditating.
They open their eyes. "What was that?", elder #5 asks.
"I don't know." master Fung answers.
Back to chases place
She grinds her teeth. "Julie..." Jack asks. She looks at him. she gasps.
She looks down and covers her face. She looks back up. Jack stares at her.
This times she looked normal.
"Julie?", Jack asks once more. She gets up and raises her hand over the ditch. The floor begins to reassemble.
Chase turns back. Julie changes to her normal clothes while walking toward Chase. Jack stays behind, he's confused about what he just saw.
"You have proven yourself worthy of being my ally. You really are as strong as they say you are.", Julie says to Chase as she bows to show respect.
Chase bows back, "It was and is an honor. You are also as strong as the legends say."
Julie walks past Chase toward the door, "Just remember Chase", she turns around, "You back stab me and you'll wish you were never born..."
She turns around and begins to walk away. Jack follows her. Soon they are out of Chases sight.
Chase smiles and heads for the throne room.
You see Wuya coming out of hidding, " She IS as strong as the legends said. I must be even more cautious now. As if I already don't have enough with Chase, now i have to worry about her!
I'll have to forget about getting my full powers back...for now."
Outside of chases house
You see Jack and Julie walking side by side. Both are quiet. Jack wants to ask Julie what was up with her when he helped her up, but he couldn't find the way to do it.
They get to the Jet. Jack decides to ask, "Ju-", she interups him, "I'm going off for a while." she said while looking at the floor.
Jack stares at her. he can tell something is wrong with her. "Where to?" he asks. She walks passed him. " Julie?", he asks.
She stops but doesn't turn around, "Don't know...". Jack stares purplexed of what is happening.
The wind blows. Jack gets close to Julie. "Stop." Julie tells him. "Why?" he asks. She looks down, "I don't want to hurt you."
With that said she takes out her wings and flies away.
"Hurt me?", Jack asks himself, "What does she mean? Whats going on?"
Exit outside Chase house
Enter Jacks lair
Jack looks at his watch. "It's 11:48! Where is she?!" Jack has been waiting for Julie for over 5 hours!
"whats wrong with her? She never tells me anything! How can I help her if she never tells me anything?"
Jack is getting worried. "First she seemed to be someone else when she got hit and now this?
What is going on? No one knows anything about "The Great Vendettadrake" except for what the legends say, and that is only a legend that is over 1500 years old!
Nothing about her past. Nothing at all. No childhood, family, nothing." Jack gets up out of the chair, "thats it I'm going after her, I don't care if she'll want to kill me when I get there."
He puts on his trench coat and runs out the door.
Exit Jacks lair
Enter Deep forest
"This place hasn't changed much." Julie says as she looks around at the trees around her.
She makes a fist, "Why?... Why them? They had nothing to do with it!" she said as she looked down to the floor. Her eyes begin to water.
She begins to see flashes of people smiling. They look really happy.
She falls to her knees and covers her face as she begins to sob. "I wasn't strong enough... I WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH!!!", she yelled out in pain.
Her eyes begin to change once more. "Ugh... Stop, STOP IT!" she yells out while grabbing her head. She begins to see once more the flashes of a shadow figure.
Rain clouds began to appear. Soon it began to rain. She breathed deeply and looked up at the sky. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply.
Meanwhile at the xiaolin Temple
The Monks once more feel something is wrong.
Master Fung stands up, "A great evil has been awakened."
Master Fung heads for the door, "we must prepare the young Monks. We know not a thing of this new evil but...we must get them ready for anything..."
Back to Julie
She let out a cry which then sounded like a roar... from a dragon.
"I am strong enough now." she said to herself. She looked different somehow. as if she was a different Julie. She looked ...evil...
She got up and began to walk back. She walked slowly while looking down. Everything she walked passed suddenly died, as if to evil aora was too strong to handle.
After a short while she looked up. she saw Jack standing right in front of her.
She stopped and stared at him, "What are you doing here?" she finally asks. He slowly walked toward her.
"I came for you.", he answered. "Why?" she asked, "I told you not to come."
Jack got closer to her and noticed her eyes had changed again.
They stared at each other. Both were now soaking wet. Jack began to get closer to her.
Julie steps back, "Get back! Don't get any closer!" she tells him.
He doesn't stop. "I don't want to hurt you. STOP!" she yells out.
He suddenly begins to embrace her. Julie is frozen as if no one is home.
"What's happening to you?" he whispers to her. "...I can feel it getting stronger...
I can feel him...", she whispers to herself.
"Him?", Jack asks, "Who? What are you talking about?", Jack begins to shake her in frustration.
Julie looks at him in the face. her eyes widen and begin to slowly go back to normal.
She turns to the side, "Please, Jack. Go back home. It's too dangerous for us to be together.", she moves and begins to walk away.
Her eyes begin to tear, "Good-bye, Jack" she slowly says.
Jack stays frozen in wonderment. "Why? Why is she doing this? And so suddenly?" Jack thinks to himself.
He turns to see her. Julie continues walking, not turning back.
Jack snaps out of it and runs after her. Julie hears him and turns around.
Jack jumps her, she falls on her back, he pins her on the floor. He knows he stands no chance with her but he doesn't know what else to do.
"what are you doing?!", Julie yells out. Jack closes his eyes as they begin to tear, "Please, don't leave me!" he says..
Julie just stares at him. "I don't care if it's dangerous, I don't care if I die, I just want you with me!" he tells her.
Jack summons up all his courage, "I-I...I love you...Please stay with me.", he tells her.
Julies eyes widen. 'He loves me?' she thinks to herself. She smiles," I love You, Jack.", she says back to him.
they stare at each other.
Jack begins to slowly lean in on her, she begins to lean in on him also.
their lips slowly touch. They kiss.
Jack helps Julie up to her knees.
she hugs him and smiles as serene smile, a truly happy one.
A tear drop streams down her cheek, "I won't fail again..." she says to herself.

NATIONAL PARKS are distinctly an American institution. The national park idea had its inception in the United States, the first of such parks was established here, and the parks of this country have served as a model for the rest of the world. Seventy years ago no national parks existed. Then, in 1872, the Yellowstone was created by act of Congress. Today the United States has 25 national parks. Moreover, these areas have been studied by officials of foreign governments and have served as the basis for park creation and management in Canada and South America, in Europe, and even in Asia and Africa.
Americans may well be proud of their parks. These areas contain the most magnificent scenery in a country replete with scenic features; many of them are of historic interest, some containing the ruined homes and implements of maintaining life of an otherwise forgotten people of a thousand or so years ago; and others are of such scientific interest that some of the best colleges of the country use them as outdoor classrooms in which to conduct summer schools.
More important yet, from a broad viewpoint, the national park system is a definite expression of the highest in our American code of governmentequality for all.
In the United States the best of our natural scenery and our most interesting scientific and historic places are retained in public ownership, for the benefit and use of all the people. In the Old World, before our national park idea was imported there, the reverse condition obtained.
The history of the social use of lands is interesting. Always in the early days, as one traces the rise and fall of nations, organized government meant organization for the ruling few. The choicest lands were reserved, in princely gardens and forests, for the mighty of the earth. Heavy, almost inhuman, punishments were meted out to the person of humble station who shot a bird or four-legged animal in a well-stocked preserve maintained for the shooting parties of the lords of the manor.
For instance, when at the height of their power the Kings of England had as one of their most cherished prerogatives the power to convert any area they wished into a preserve for their personal pleasure in the chase. But they went too far, and the people and the barons combined to force on King John that great constitutional code, the Magna Carta, in which were certain laws limiting the kingly powers in regard to disposal of such lands.
It was a far step, in years and in social progress, from King John's time to a day in 1870 when, out on our western frontier, a group of men voluntarily relinquished their legal and moral right to profit through private ownership of the area now included in Yellowstone National Park, and instead started a movement that 2 years later resulted in the creation of our first national park. Out of this movement also grew the great national forest system mentioned elsewhere in this paper.
During the first three quarters of the nineteenth century the geysers and hot springs formations of the Yellowstone region were visited occasionally by Indians and by white trappers and hunters. Stories of the wonders of the geysers and strange hot springs filtered out. At first disbelieved, eventually they resulted in the official investigation of 1870. As the explorations were about completed, members of the party gathered about the camp fire one evening, discussing the marvels they had seen. They talked of the disposition of the area, all free public lands, suggesting that the individual members file claims, one taking the geysers, another the beautiful canyon of the Yellowstone River, and so on.
Then came the momentous suggestion that resulted in our great national park system. Cornelius Hedges, a lawyer of Montana, advanced the thought that the individuals forego personal gain in order that the region, so unlike anything else in the country, be reserved as a national park for the benefit of the people for all time. The idea caught the imagination of those present and they agreed to return to their homes and work for the establishment of such a park. As a result, Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872 by act of Congress as a "pleasuring ground" for the people of the Nation.
No other national parks were created until 1890, when the Yosemite, Sequoia, and General Grant Parks in California were established, followed in 1899 by Mount Rainier in Washington. Since then the national park system has progressed steadily.
Even before the Yellowstone, however, the United States Government showed its interest in the public ownership of lands valuable from a social use standpoint. In 1832 the Hot Springs Reservation in Arkansas was established by act of Congress, because of the medicinal qualities believed to be contained in the waters. According to tradition, even the Indian tribes of the vicinity, who had long battled for the ownership of the healing waters in which they believed the "Great Spirit" to be ever present, had finally declared a truce under which the benefits were extended to the sick of all tribes. In 1921 the Hot Springs Reservation became a national park. It can in no sense of the word be called our first national park, however, because in its early reservation there was no idea of park use; it was definitely a place for the treatment of sick people. Now, while the hot springs are still available to the people under proper regulation, the area itself is a beautiful park, with motor roads and trails winding over and around its wooded hills, and recreation and relaxation are stressed almost as much as the use of the hot waters.
National parks, always created by act of Congress, are reserved because of some unusual quality or natural wonder, or some historic or scientific feature of national interest. In the field of natural wonders, each park represents the highest type of its particular feature, and in general duplication of the major features of existing national parks is avoided. It is important always that each park be sufficiently large to allow of adequate development from the tourist standpoint.
In establishing national parks no thought is given to geographic location. The area proposed for national park use is considered primarily from the standpoint of whether or not its principal features are of broad national interest.
No consideration of commercialism enters into park creation. The major function is the promotion of the well-being of Americans through the health-giving qualities of inspiration, relaxation, and recreation in pure, unpolluted air, in natural surroundings of inspiring grandeur.
Many of the parks contain noble forests, but the trees are preserved for their beauty and never considered as lumber. It is a strange fact, but often the trees that add most to the beauty of the landscape in reality have no commercial value.
There are wild animals in abundance, but they never are considered from the standpoint of food supply. All hunting is forbidden except that called in park parlance "hunting with the camera." Many an erstwhile hunter, having laid down his gun for a camera while in a park, never cares to shoulder a gun again. The gentle-eyed deer becomes a friend, not an intended victim.
There are great waterfalls, but they are never harnessed. Outside the parks are more than enough falls to supply the power needs of the Nation. Those in the parks feed man's hunger for beautya demand that, long denied, seems stifled; but that given a chance in the unmarred outdoors thrives and increases and gives man a broader outlook on life.

US Air Force F-15 in-flight breakup animation
Produced by Boeing Phantom Works as part of the US Air Force accident investigation, this animation reconstructs the in-flight structural failure of a US Air National Guard F-15C on November 2, 2007. The breakup was caused by fatigue cracking of a forward fuselage longeron. IMPORTANT - this is slowed down to one-fifth the actual speed of the event!
