1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to methods of fabricating articles for electrically connecting electronic devices. More particularly, the invention relates to an improved method for fabricating anisotropic electrically conductive materials which can provide an electrical interface between devices placed on either side thereof.
Over the past ten years, electrically conductive elastomers have found increasing use as interface connectors between electronic devices, serving as an alternative for traditional solder and socket connections. Elastomeric conductors can take a variety of forms, but generally must provide for anisotropic electrical conduction. Anisotropic conduction means that the electrical resistance measured in one direction through the material will differ from that measured in another direction. Generally, the elastomeric conductors of the prior art have been materials which provide for high resistance in at least one of the orthogonal directions of the material, while providing low resistance in the remaining one or two directions. In this way, a single piece or sheet of material can provide for multiple connections so long as the connector terminals on the devices to be connected are properly aligned.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The anisotropic elastomeric conductors of the prior art generally consist of an electrically conductive material dispersed or arranged in an electrically insulating material. In one form, alternate sheets of conductive and non-conductive materials are layered to form a block, and individual connector pieces can be cut from the block in a direction perpendicular to the interface of the layers. Connector pieces embodying such layered connectors have been sold under the trade name "Zebra" by Tecknit, Cranford, N.J., and the trade name "Stax" by PCK Elastomerics, Inc., Hatboro, Pa. Such connectors are discussed generally in Buchoff, "Surface Mounting of Components with Elastomeric Connectors," Electri-Onics, June, 1983; Buchoff, "Elastomeric Connections for Test & Burn-In," Microelectronics Manufacturing and Testing, October, 1980; Anon., "Conductive Elastomeric Connectors Offer New Packaging Design Potential for Single Contacts or Complete Connection Systems," Insulation/Circuits, February, 1975; and Anon., "Conductive Elastomers Make Bid to Take Over Interconnections," Product Engineering, December 1974. While useful under a number of circumstances, such layered anisotropic elastomeric conductors provide electrical conductivity in two orthogonal directions, providing insulation only in the third orthogonal direction. Thus, the layered anisotropic elastomeric conductors are unsuitable for providing surface interface connections where a two-dimensional array of connector terminals on one surface is to be connected to a similar two-dimensional array of connectors on a second surface. Such a situation requires anisotropic elastomeric conductor which provides for conductivity in one direction only.
At least two manufacturers provide anisotropic elastomeric conductors which allow for conduction in one direction only. Tecknit, Cranford, NJ, manufactures a line of connectors under the trade name "Conmet." The Conmet connectors comprise elastomeric elements having two parallel rows of electrically conductive wires embedded therein. The wires are all parallel, and electrical connections may be made by sandwiching the connector between two surfaces so that good contact is established. The Conmet connector is for connecting circuit boards together, as well as connecting chip carriers and the like to printed circuit boards. The matrix is silicon rubber.
A second anisotropic elastomeric conductor which conducts in one only direction is manufactured by Shin-Etsu Polymer Company, Ltd., Japan, and described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,252,391; 4,252,990; 4,210,895; and 4,199,637. Referring in particular to U.S. Pat. No. 4,252,391, a pressure-sensitive electroconductive composite sheet is prepared by dispersing a plurality of electrically conductive fibers into an elastomeric matrix, such as silicone rubber. The combination of the rubber matrix and the conductive fibers are mixed under sheer conditions which break the fibers into lengths generally between 20 to 80% of the thickness of the sheet which is to be prepared. The fibers are then aligned parallel to one another by subjecting the mixture to a sheer deformation event, such as pumping or extruding. The composite mixture is then hardened, and sheets prepared by slicing from the hardened structure. The electrically conductive fibers do not extend the entire thickness of the resulting sheets, and electrical contact is made through the sheet only by applying pressure.
Although useful, the anisotropic elastomeric conductors of the prior art are generally difficult and expensive to manufacture. Particularly in the case of the elastomeric conductors having a plurality of conductive fibers, it is difficult to control the density of fibers at a particular location in the matrix, which problem is exacerbated when the density of the conductive fibers is very high.
For these reasons, it would be desirable to provide alternate methods for fabricating anisotropic elastomeric conductors which provide for conductivity in one direction only. In particular, it would be desirable to provide a method for preparing such elastomeric conductors having individual conductive fibers present in an elastomeric matrix in a precisely controlled uniform pattern.
A novel anisotropic elastomeric conductor is provided which is easy to manufacture and can be tailored to a wide range of specifications. The conductor comprises an elastomeric matrix having a plurality of electrically conductive fibers uniformly dispersed throughout. The conductor may be in the form of a block or a relatively thin slice, and the electrically conductive fibers extend across the conductor so that they terminate on opposite faces of the conductor. In this way, the anisotropic elastomeric conductor is particularly suited for interfacing between electronic components, particularly components having a plurality of conductor terminals arranged in a two-dimensional or planar array. The anisotropic elastomeric conductor may also find use as an interface between a heat-generating device, such as an electronic circuit device, and a heat sink. When acting as either an electrically conductive interface or a thermally conductive interface, the elastomeric material has the advantage that it can conform closely to the contours of both surfaces of the devices which are being coupled.
The anisotropic elastomeric conductors of the present invention are fabricated from first and second sheet materials, where the first sheet material includes a plurality of electrically-conductive fibers positioned to lie parallel to one another and electrically isolated from one another. In the exemplary embodiment, the first sheet comprises a wire cloth having metal fibers running in one direction and loosely woven with insulating fibers running in the transverse direction. The second sheet consists of an electrically-insulating fiber loosely woven in both directions. The first and second sheets are stacked on top of one another, typically in an alternating pattern, so that the secondary sheets provide insulation for the electrically-conductive fibers in the adjacent first sheets. After stacking a desired number of the first and second sheets, the layered structure is perfused with a liquid, curable elastomeric resin, such as a silicone rubber resin, to fill the interstices remaining in the layered structure of the loosely woven first and second sheets. Typically, pressure will be applied by well known transfer molding techniques, and the elastomer cured, typically by the application of heat. The resulting block structure will include the electrically-conductive fibers embedded in a solid matrix comprising two components, i.e., the insulating fibers and the elastomeric material.
For most applications, slices will be cut from the block to a thickness suitable for the desired interface application. Often it will be desirable to dissolve at least a portion of the fibrous material in the matrix in order to introduce voids in the elastomeric conductor to enhance the compressibility of the conductor.

FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the first sheet material of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a detailed view of the second sheet material of the present invention.
FIG. 4 illustrates the block of anisotropic elastomeric conductor material of the present invention having a single slice removed therefrom.
FIG. 5 illustrates the anisotropic elastomeric conductor material of the present invention as it would be used in forming an interface between an electronic device having a planar array of connector pads and a device support substrate having a mating array of connector pads, and FIG. 6 is a detailed view, partially in cross section, of the new anisotropic elastomeric material.
According to the present invention, anisotropic elastomeric conductors are fabricated from first and second sheets of loosely woven fabric material. The first sheet materials are made up of both electrically-conductive and electrically insulating fibers, where the electrically-conductive fibers are oriented parallel to one another so that no two fibers contact each other at any point. The electrically insulating fibers run generally transversely to the electrically conductive fibers in order to complete the weave. In some cases, it may be desirable to include electrically insulating fibers running parallel to the electrically-conductive fibers, either in addition to or in place of the electrically-conductive fibers, in order to adjust the density of conductive fibers in the final product. The second sheet material will be a loosely woven fabric comprising only electrically insulating fibers. The second sheet material is thus able to act as an insulating layer between adjacent first layers having electrically-conductive fibers therein.
Suitable electrically-conductive fibers include virtually any fiber material having a bulk resistivity below about 50 μΩ-cm, and preferably about 4 μΩ-cm. Typically, the electrically-conductive fibers will be conductive metals, such as copper, aluminum, silver, and gold, and alloys thereof. Alternatively, suitable electrically conductive fibers can be prepared by modifying electrically insulating fibers, such as by introducing a conductivity-imparting agent such as metal particles to a natural or synthetic polymer. The preferred electrically-conductive fibers are copper, aluminum, silver, gold, and alloys thereof, particularly copper wire.
The electrically insulating fibers in both the first and second sheet materials may be formed from a wide variety of materials, including natural fibers, such as cellulose, i.e., cotton; protein, i.e., wool and silk, and synthetic fibers. Suitable synthetic fibers include polyamides, polyesters, acrylics, polyolefins, nylon, rayon, acrylonitrile, and blends thereof. In general, the electrically insulating fibers will have bulk resistivities in the range from about 1011 to 1017 Ω-cm, and preferably above about 1015 Ω-cm.
The first and second sheet materials are woven by conventional techniques from the individual fibers. The size and spacing of the fibers in the first sheet material will depend on the size and spacing of the electrical conductors required in the elastomeric conductor being produced. Typically, the electrically-conductive fibers will have a diameter in the range from about 10-3 to 10-2 cm. The spacing between adjacent conductors are typically in the range from about 5�10-3 to 5�10-2 cm. The spacing of between the insulating fibers in the first sheet material is less critical, but are typically about the same as the spacing for the electrically conductive fibers. The fiber diameter of the electrically insulating fibers is selected to provide a sufficiently strong weave to withstand the subsequent processing steps. In all cases, the weave should be sufficiently loose so that gaps or interstices remain between adjacent fibers so that liquid elastomeric resin may be introduced to a stack of the woven sheets, as will be described hereinafter.
Referring now to FIGS. 1-3, a plurality of first sheets 10 and second sheets 12 are stacked in an alternating pattern. The dimensions of the sheets 10 and 12 are not critical, and will depend on the desired final dimensions of the elastomeric conductor product. Generally, the individual sheets 10 and 12 have a length L between about 1 and 100 cm, and preferably between about 10 and 50 cm. The width W of the sheets 10 and 12 is preferably between 1 and 100 cm, more usually between 10 and 50 cm. The sheets 10 and 12 are stacked to a final height in the range from about 1 to 10 cm, and preferably in the range from about 1 to 5 cm, corresponding to a total number of sheets in the range from about 25 to 500, generally from about 25 to 200 sheets.
The first sheets 10 are formed from electrically-conductive fibers 14 woven with electrically insulating fibers 16, as illustrated in detail in FIG. 2. The first sheets 10 are oriented so that the electrically-conductive fibers 14 in each of the sheets are parallel to one another. The second sheet material is comprised of a weave of electrically insulating fiber 16, as illustrated in FIG. 3. In both the first sheet material and the second sheet material, interstices 18 are formed between the individual fibers of the fabric. Depending on the size of the fibers 14 and 16, as well as on the spacing between the fibers, the dimensions of the interstices 18 may vary in the range from 10-3 to 10-2 cm.
In forming the stacks of the first and second sheet materials, the pattern illustrated in FIG. 1 may be varied within certain limits. For example, two or more of the second sheets 12 maybe placed between adjacent first sheets 10 without departing from the concept of the present invention. In all cases, however, it will be necessary to have at least one of the second insulating sheets 12 between adjacent first conducting sheets 10. Additionally, it is not necessary that all of the first sheets 10 employed in a single stack be identical, and two or more sheets 10 having different constructions may be employed. Similarly, it is not necessary that the second sheets 12 all be of identical construction, and a certain amount of variation is permitted.
In fabricating the materials of the present invention, it has been found convenient to employ commercially available sieve cloths which may be obtained from commercial suppliers. The second sheets may be nylon sieve cloths having a mesh ranging from about 80 to 325 mesh. The first sheet materials may be combined wire/nylon mesh cloths having a similar mesh sizing.
After the stack has been formed, as illustrated in FIG. 1, it is necessary to mold the stack into a solid block of elastomeric material. This may be accomplished by introducing a curable elastomeric resin into the interstices 18 of the layered sheet materials 10 and 12. Suitable elastomeric resins include thermosetting resins, such as silicone rubbers, urethane rubbers, latex rubbers, and the like. Particularly preferred are silicone rubbers because of their stability over a wide temperature range, their low compression set, high electrical insulation, low dielectric constant, and durability.
Perfusion of the elastomeric resin into the layered first and second sheets may be accomplished by conventional methods, typically by conventional transfer molding techniques. The layered structure of FIG. 1 is placed in an enclosed mold, referred to as a transfer mold. Fluidized elastomeric resin is introduced to the transfer mold, under pressure so that the mold cavity is completely filled with the resin. Either a cold or a heated mold may be employed. In the case of a cold mold, it is necessary to later apply heat to cure the resin resulting in a solidified composite block of the resin and the layered sheet materials. Such curing will take on the order of one hour. The use of heated mold reduces the curing time to the order of minutes.
Referring now to FIG. 4, the result of the transfer molding process is a solidified block 20 of the layered composite material. As illustrated, the individual conductors 14 are aligned in the axial direction in the block 20. To obtain relatively thin elastomeric conductors preferred in most applications, individual slices 22 may be cut from the block 20 by slicing in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the conductors are running. This results in a thin slice of material having individual conductors uniformly dispersed throughout and extending across the thickness T of the slice 22. As desired, the slice 22 may be further divided by cutting it into smaller pieces for particular applications. The thickness T is not critical, but usually will be in the range from about 0.02 to 0.4 cm.
The resulting thin section elastomeric conductor 22 will thus comprise a two-component matrix including both the insulating fiber material 16 and the elastomeric insulating material which was introduced by the transfer molding process. In some cases, it will be desirable to remove at least a portion of the insulating fiber material 16 in order to introduce voids in the conductor 22. Such voids enhance the compressibility of the conductor, which may be beneficial under certain circumstances. The fibrous material may be dissolved by a variety of chemical means, typically employing oxidation reactions. The particular oxidation reaction will, of course, depend on the nature of the insulating fiber. In the case of nylon and most other fibers, exposure to a relatively strong mineral acid, such as hydrochloric acid, will generally suffice. After acid oxidation, the conductor material will of course be thoroughly washed before further preparation or use.
Referring now to FIGS. 5 and 6, an anisotropic elastomeric conductor material 22 of the present invention will find its greatest use in serving as an electrical interface between a semiconductor device 30 and a semiconductor support substrate 32. The semiconductor device 30 is of the type having a two-dimensional or planar array of electrical contact pads 34 on one face thereof. The support substrate 32, which is typically a multilayer connector board, is also characterized by a plurality of contact pads 36 arranged in a planar array. In general, the pattern in which the connector pads 34 are arranged on the semiconductor device 30 will correspond to that in which the contact pads 36 are arranged on the support substrate 32. The anisotropic elastomeric conductor 22 is placed between the device 30 and the substrate 32, and the device 30 and substrate 32 brought together in proper alignment so that corresponding pads 34 and 36 are arranged on directly opposite sides of the conductor 22. By applying a certain minimal contact pressure between the device 30 and substrate 32, firm electrical contact is made between the contact pads and the intermediate conductors 12. Usually, sufficient electrically-conductive fibers are provided in the conductor 22 so that at least two fibers and preferably more than two fibers are intermediate each of the pairs of contact pads 34 and 36.
In an alternate use, the elastomeric conductors of the present invention may be used to provide for thermal coupling between a heat-generating device, typically an electronic device, and a heat sink. When employed for such a use, the conductive fibers 12 will generally have a relatively large diameter, typically on the order of 10-2 cm. The elastomeric conductor of the present invention is particularly suitable for such applications since it will conform to both slight as well as more pronounced variations in the surface planarity of both the electronic device and the heat sink, thus assuring low thermal resistance between the two.
Although the foregoing invention has been described in some detail by way of illustration and example for purposes of clarity of understanding, it will be obvious that certain changes and modifications may be practiced within the scope of the appended claims.

back. Beneath was traced a number of uncouth characters, shaped somewhat like wedges or daggers, as strange and outlandish as the Hebrew alphabet.
'Now the seal,' said Professor Gregg, and he handed me the black stone, a thing about two inches long, and something like an old-fashioned tobacco-stopper, much enlarged.
I held it up to the light, and saw to my surprise the characters on the paper repeated on the seal.
'Yes,' said the professor, 'they are the same. And the marks on the limestone rock were made fifteen years ago, with some red substance. And the characters on the seal are four thousand years old at least. Perhaps much more.'
'Is it a hoax?' I said.
'No, I anticipated that. I was not to be led to give my life to a practical joke. I have tested the matter very carefully. Only one person besides myself knows of the mere existence of that black seal. Besides, there are other reasons which I cannot enter into now.'
'But what does it all mean?' I said. 'I cannot
A fairly creepy story of a professor who acquires a black stone incised with 60 characters that exist in no language. His investigations lead him to barren English hillsides and very old legends.

Great stay for a night or two. Quiet and lovely room
Really enjoyed my stay here.
We had a 4-poster bed with a single jacuzzi bath. Food wasn't great, panini was very burnt (lucky I quite like it!) breakfast was microwaved beans, very fatty bacon and a sausage so hard I could barely cut it. Room was lovely and big, shower was huge and the bed so comfy. Overall, happy with the stay.

Staff very nice, Cleaning needs more attention, Food hit and miss.
My first room had a fly problem, but I was moved to a much better room with no fuss.
The staff were all very nice. My first meal of a hot pot was incredible. I was offered an alternative. The following meals were fine. the rooms was ok, but the cleaning was not as good as it could be. mainly hairs from previous occupants in bathroom.

A pleasant affordable hotel
The bedrooms are very traditional and pleasant but need some maintaience and tlc, the bathroom in particular seemed a bit neglected.
Our One Night Stay
The reception we got when we arrived at the hotel was " a going through the motions" rather than welcoming.
The reception and bar were like a pub. The room was in a motel style building away from the main reception, it was quite spacious with all the ammenaties of tea and coffee and a television. The bathroom again was quite spacious but with no window, so that when the light was switched on a fan came on that was very noisey and lasted for about 5 minutes after the light was off.The room was very hot and it was impossible to turn it down, so we had to open both windows. We had a bar meal of fish, chips and peas, the chips were very tasty. The breakfast next morning was good, it was tinned fruit, but the full English was excellent.

relaxing retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Oxfordshire inn, the staff were helpful & friendly, the room was very nicely decorated, clean & comfortable & the food especially the breakfast was well worth the money...the little patio area @ the back of the room was a nice surprise with a lovely view along with the peacocks wandering the grounds
Last minute booking lovely stay great location really friendly receptionist.
Enjoyed the comfort of the room and the lovely bath.

Highly recommend
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Rooms were clean and spacious, complete with telephone and safe. Jacuzzi bath too. Wardrobe was huge. Views were beautiful and surprisingly quiet since alongside the A34. Staff were very professional and polite but friendly. The restaraunt was empty but food was lovely and value for money. Bar area had comfy seats and a roaring fire with a large screen tv. Wireless only works in the main pub and not in bedroom blocks ( could be an issue for some) but overall this hotel is great value for money and a real hidden gem. We will visit again when in the area.

Convenient for Oxford, better value than City centre hotels
We were attending a community "unconference" at The Oxford Hotel and wanted to stay overnight.
The Oxford was full (if it hadn't been, rooms would have been £180) and other city hotels were up to £200. So we opted for the Oxfordshire Inn, a few miles out of town, at £80. The hotel is in quiet country surroundings with plenty of free parking and on arrival we were greeted by helpful staff and shown to our room (rooms are in blocks separate from the main building). The room was spacious, with king size bed and an extra single, a balcony with a view over the fields, a large bathroom with jacuzzi bath, and very spacious wardrobe (unusual nowadays). In the morning we had the full English breakfast, which was good quality and value at £6. Recommended : good value and good service.

Great location, lovely room.
Travelling down to the Isle of Wight from Yorkshire, this was a 1 night stopover.
However, the Inn exceeded our expectations. The price was low, but we had a super room, plus we could have our dog with us .We ate in the restaurant, and found it to be good food at a reasonable price. The location was perfect, a few minutes off the A34, so we could pop straight back on in the morning to continue our journey, and yet in an idyllic quiet country setting .Reccommended.

Location and room were great
I would not rate the food, I had duck and it was well overcooked, presentation was not good, we mentioned it to the manager and he gave us a rfund on the duck which was good

Blackmagic Cinema Camera gets 1/3 cut as Pocket version ships
Blackmagic has trimmed the price of its Cinema Camera range, cutting the 2.5K sensor cameras by a third as it ramps up for shipping the new Blackmagic Production Camera 4K. The $1k saving brings both the EF and Micro Four Thirds versions of the Cinema Camera to $1,995 apiece, while the new Pocket Cinema Camera - announced back in April - has begun shipping today. However, those who want its Production 4K sibling will have to wait a little longer.

Welcome to the Cathedral Church of St. Georgein Kingston, Ontario, Canada
Rt. Rev. George Bruce
Interim Dean & Rector
Plus ça change
It really does not seem as though it has been thirteen years since I sat behind the Desk in the Dean's office in the cathedral. Over that time many things have changed. Dean Alex Hewitt ministered with us and to us for many years and is now retired in the diocese of Niagara. Dean Mary Irwin- Gibson spent six years labouring in the vineyard until she was called by God and the people of Montreal to be their chief shepherd and Archdeacon Michael Caswell has, not once but twice, fulfilled the duties of interim Priest-in-Charge. Moreover the demographic of the cathedral has changed significantly over those thirteen years as new groups have started amongst which are the children's choir soon to be joined by the teen choir, and the centering prayer group to name only a few. That is as it should be, the church of God is a constantly growing and spreading new branches as it reaches out to more and more people. At the same time it is, in many respects, unchanging in its fundamental tenets - a creator God who seeks constantly to call a wayward people back into a right relationship, and who through the sacrifice of Jesus enables us to live as God would have us do and whose Spirit is always present to us and in us.
So change and constancy are a part of our heritage and as we move forward together I am privileged to join with you once again until by God's grace a new Dean is chosen and appointed.
May I invite you all during this month to offer prayers for our former Dean as she undertakes her Episcopal ministry in Montreal.

Notes & Commentaires
Clean, modern, homey, and value for money Really loved my 1n stay in H132 hostel as it was conveniently located near Taipei Main station, a leisurely stroll to a nearby night market and was in a safe neighbourhood. Room was clean and neat, toilet smelt of disinfectant, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel was provided in sachets and towels were provided at no additional costs. Staff was really friendly and gave us great recommendations. Would definitely recommend this place to my friends. — Claire, age 24, Singapore (2014-09-07)
Great location and comfy bed! This place is awesome! the furniture and setting is really amazing. The common area is huge and you can chill there with your friends and it feels just like home! The bed is superbly comfortable and the shower is marvelous! getting to the MRT is really convenient and it is also very near to Taipei Station! I can only say the pictures in the introduction could not tell how lovely this place is. I will certainly come back again on my next visit! Keep it up! — Ruby, age 24, Malaysia (2014-01-14)

Palace and El Escorial
... to decorate every wall and floor there is. This palace is only used now for stately functions, wedding etc, while the Spanish royal live a separate residence. I love the grand staircase leading up the rooms , the throne room and the massive dining room with a long dining table that can easily fit over 130 guests . The quarter also houses some of worlds best violins collections by Antonius Strdivarius. the violins are over 300 + years old and produces some incredible music. ...
A very very long day of driving
... however. We had a couple of beers and enjoyed sitting outside in the sun for the rest of the afternoon. Once we had paid, we did our best to find our car, easier said then done. After a few wrong turns and finally going back to where we had come from and starting all over again, we were able to backtrack enough to get to the car and head back to the hotel.
The day was long but rewarding in the end. And I like Spain. ...
The Supermarket--Crisann
... even baskets! Tia Bea had to bring bags with her to the store because they charge people to use the plastic bags--they are cracking down on pollution, supposedly. I was especially thrilled to be at the supermarket because I found something called "Soya", a brand that uses soy instead of milk. I discovered this brand in the yogurt isle, and was excited because there was soy yogurt that did not look 1,000 ...

Finally, you join the main road (first one with some traffic too, but the broad tarmac of excellent quality keeps you safe) for a fast downhill and maybe 10 minutes of rolling back to the station through the town.
All in all, I'm not even sure why it felt so special. But despite the poor connection ...

It is rather chilling to imagine what will be taking place in the coming days, as Pierrepoint's Pakistani descendants ponder how best to kill this man. They will presumably be pulling out their paraplegia charts, factoring in the weight of his wheelchair, and wondering how best to roll Abdul Basit into place, all in the name of justice. Let us hope that sanity prevails.
Much has been written recently of the spate of executions in Pakistan - more than 200 now, and counting - since the moratorium was lifted last December. While this spate of execution surely merits the international condemnation it has provoked, it must not be permitted to obscure the nightmare that is being faced by Pakistani citizens on death row in other countries. Most pressing, perhaps, is the fate of those who face execution in Saudi Arabia.
Mercy Corps is continuing to work with the Balochistan regional government to reach thousands more men and women in Pakistan by providing them with vocational training and opportunities to build social cohesion, but this will not be a quick fix. We must remain invested in fragile regions around the world and look to make a difference in the lives of those who live there. Right now, in the face of growing regional instability, this has never been so pressing.
As this week's dialogue takes place, Europe must reaffirm that short-cutting human rights through short-term security responses alone, can never be a long-term answer to the terrorist threat. The war against terror may indeed have returned. But the difference this time is that it's a war which Pakistan appears to have declared against itself.
The global silence on the targeting of the Shia in Pakistan is sickening... Next time you hear a political leader speak about human rights, why don't you ask him where his voice was when Shia were being murdered in Pakistan? The Shia of Pakistan are an asset to Pakistan which should be protected at all costs. As politicians have rightly mentioned, if Jews left Europe, Europe would not be Europe any more. Well, if the Shia of Pakistan left Pakistan, Pakistan would not be Pakistan any more.

Capt. Allison, like Capt. Rusch, is not a civil-affairs officer. The former is an armor officer; the latter is an artilleryman. But like many other soldiers in Iraq today, they are performing functions that are not their military specialty as hearts-and-minds initiatives replace, at least temporarily, kinetic combat.
That daily, intense fighting ended in northeastern Baghdad in late May, and the relative peace is considered frail. Gunmen who retreated into northern Sadr City have mostly gone into hiding, fled or disbanded following a cease-fire agreement with the government.
But sporadic violence by Shi'ite holdouts and Sunni terrorists continues to threaten neighborhoods like Taribiyah.
"Captain: The clock's on, 15 minutes and counting," a soldier named Delacruz yelled out to Capt. Allison. "The people are taking off."
Capt. Allison and men of Red Platoon were at a roundabout where al-Beidha'a and Sadr City meet.
Capt. Allison had stopped to chat with store owners on the al-Beidha'a side of a main thoroughfare and scout out vacant billboards for putting up signs picturing wanted terrorists and asking for information.
Street vendors and others at the roundabout moved away when Red Platoon rolled up - a sign to U.S. forces and local residents that a gunman was in the area.
"We figure it takes about 15 minutes for a sniper to be told we're around and then for him to get to a point and set up for a shot," a soldier said. "We don't hang around any longer than we have to."
Improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, along main roads remain a threat, although much less so than before.
But the hearts-and-minds beat still goes on.
"People who have a tangible stake in peace and stability, and recognize it, may be less inclined to tolerate or help those who would disrupt it," Capt. Allison said.

TV shows go to the movies
Hollywood's love affair with remaking television shows into motion pictures continues this summer with Bewitched, based on the '60s comedy, and The Dukes of Hazzard, based on the popular lowbrow car-chase show from the '80s.
Bewitched stars Nicole Kidman in the part made famous by Elizabeth Montgomery, as a pretty suburban housewife who happens to be a witch. Former SNL funnyman Will Ferrell costars. Classing up the joint will be Shirley MacLaine and Michael Caine.
The Dukes of Hazzard, the post-Smokey and the Bandit action comedy about the Duke family's never-ending battle to defeat bumbling cops and the crooked Boss Hogg, is coming to the big screen, starring Seann William Scott, Johnny Knoxville, Jessica Simpson, and Burt Reynolds. The casting alone appeals to the lowest-common denominator necessary to insure success.
In the past, television-to-movie conversions have met with varying degrees of success. Both Mission: Impossible films were huge summertime blockbusters. The Addams Family and Charlie's Angels proved that updates can be fun and profitable. Starsky & Hutch made $86 million, yet it's difficult to find someone who liked it. Universally panned Wild Wild West made more than $100 million, simultaneously benefiting from and nearly destroying the marquee value of Will Smith.
Regardless of the outcome, Hollywood bravely soldiers on with plans for reimaginings of Land of the Lost, The Six Million Dollar Man, and Wonder Woman.
So far, no studio has expressed interest in updating Manimal.

Hollywood goes to television, again. Starsky and Hutch was redone with a comedic angle, featuring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson. Although it made big money at the box office, making it a comedy turned off many fans of the original series. In The Wild, Wild West, the protrayals by Kevin Kline and Will Smith lacked the chemistry that Robert Conrad and Ross Martin had. The Lost in Space film (Matt LeBlanc as Major West?) didn't have Irwin Allen's style. As the article stated, there have been some instances where Hollywood got it right, Mission Impossible I and II, Charlie's Angels. Each of the successful television shows that have been made into films has its own uniqueness and appeal. Based on early promotional information, the tone of Dukes and Bewitched seems to reflect the spirit of the originals. If Hollywood studios want to borrow from tv, they need to retain the elements which made the series popular.

The Department of Arts & Humanities welcomes you to Teachers College, Columbia University.
The department, which encompasses nine academic programs, views the study of education as broad and vital. Here, intellectual and creative ideas and practices extend beyond the traditional concerns of schooling. Thus, each program shares a concern with the learner's construction of knowledge, the art and methods of teaching, the realities of the contemporary classroom, the relationship of schools to their communities, and the underlying philosophies of school reform.

Teachers College and the Educational Testing Service (ETS) held the first ever joint forum on Teaching, Learning and the Assessment of English Language Learners this past April. Two Teachers College doctoral students who have been heavily involved at both institutions are Fred Tsutagawa and Saerhim Oh. Both were offered ETS fellowships three years ago, and have gone on to redesign placement tests for the Community Language Program for TC, were present at roundtable events, and have grown close with the orchestrator of the TC/ETS relationship, Dr. James Purpura. Here, they discuss their experience in the fellowship and their future goals.

Philosophers make a practice out of engaging in deep, primordial questions, and a large part in doing so is through discussion with other thinkers to better explore or challenge ideas and offer alternative perspectives. As a staple of its academic program, the Philosophy and Education Colloquium Series is intended for all doctoral and masters students to have these sorts of discussions.

Cross-border derivatives disputes: ISDA Arbitration Guide 2013 model clauses offer more certainty
By Jean-Pierre Douglas-Henry and Oliver Perez
The 2013 International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Arbitration Guide has been published following a two-year consultation with ISDA members.
The guide provides model clauses for various forms of arbitration for use in derivative transactions. This is welcome news for the banking and investment community, which has not always found the standard ISDA submission to the court-based adjudication of disputes to be ideally suited to complex cross-border structured product disputes.
The purpose of the consultation was to gauge member interest in using arbitration in connection with derivative transactions documented under the ISDA Master Agreement. During the consultation, members showed an appetite for using international arbitration in derivatives disputes and indicated that model clauses would be helpful…

Facilities are kept very clean. Close to Falmouth village.
Road noise, slamming doors, crying babies.
Like walking into a warehouse - boxes and construction everywhere. They had us in an alternative building, which was not as advertised. Only access is uo steep, long flight of stairs. Parking lot was Imicy dangerous mess. No assistance offered to get us and out bags to this distant room. Room itself in need of renovation. Not recommended for this off season period without deep discount and lots of disclaimers.
Staff was very courteous and helpful.
Check-in was too late. It was difficult to get ready for a wedding that took place at the resort. We had to travel to Mashpee for the church ceremony for 2:30 pm. We didn't get into the room until nearly 2:20, after I repeatedly returned to front desk. They said they would notify us by phone but that did not happen.
The staff was very helpful and organized. The facilities were great. The hotel offered every commendation outside at the pools and beach as well as inside the hotel.
Overall I would defiantly come to this resort.
The room was dingy , dark, and musty. I was given incorrect directions to the room from the front desk
Everything was within walking distance. Clean, pleasant and quant.
Friendly staff/owner. Great price for the location.
Small bathroom, but doable. Location great. Walking distance to downtown. Free parking
Not much. The room was clean but the rest of the hotel was poorly kept. The tub was in bed shape and the light switches in the room did not always work. The breakfast room was really small and the quality of the food was really low. I would not stay there again.
The location is great for shops, restaurants, the harbor & catching the ferry to Martha's Vineyard.... all within walking distance! It is family owned & very friendly. The room is spic & span. They have a lovely pool, too!
I was super relieved to find a room on the Cape in the summer even though we booked it just a few days in advance. The staff was very nice when we were checked in. Everything was clean. Everything went smoothly.
Beds weren't very comfortable, and it was just really noisy. Loud guests, and noise from the street just made it hard to sleep.

China Three Gorges Corp bosses replaced after graft probe
Chairman and general manager assigned other jobs after problems found at state-owned firm
Most Popular
The central government has removed two senior executives of China Three Gorges Corp after an anti-corruption watchdog discovered problems at the state-owned enterprise.
Three Gorges chairman Cao Guangjing and general manager Chen Fei had been removed and would be assigned other jobs, Wang Jingqing, a deputy head of the Organisation Department of the Communist Party's central committee, said at a company meeting on March 24.
Lu Chun would take over from Cao, while Wang Lin would replace Chen, Wang Jingqing said in a statement on the company's website.
The leadership change was a decision of the party's central committee and State Council, based on evidence gathered by the anti-corruption inspection team and feedback from many quarters, he said.
The change also came in the wake of the central government's corruption investigation of Three Gorges, which was announced last month.
Some associates of unnamed Three Gorges officials were secretly involved in bidding for the company's projects, said Hou Kai, the head of the anti-corruption inspection group.
The unnamed executives owned several properties, which is against regulations, bought too many cars and sat in excessively large offices, Three Gorges said on its website.
At a meeting on Monday, Wang urged the company to change executives found responsible for the problems uncovered by the anti-graft team and fulfil the company's duty in fighting corruption.
"Although the investigation was normal, publicly disclosing Three Gorges' problems is absolutely unusual. It is probable there will be further investigations into corruption inside the corporation," said Patricia Adams, an executive director of Probe International, a Canadian non-governmental organisation.
"This looks like a very serious matter. It takes fairly unusual circumstances for two top executives at a state-owned enterprise to be removed on the same day," said Basil Hwang, a partner at law firm Zhong Lun.
An international investor, who declined to be named, said President Xi Jinping was intensifying corruption investigations into the nation's energy companies because he wanted to reform the energy sector, which is heavily controlled by the state.
The executive changes would spur reform of Three Gorges and strengthen its leadership, Wang said.
"The leadership change is a sign of the central government's strong interest and concern towards Three Gorges," he said.

One of the NYPD officers acquitted of rape charges after helping a drunken woman into her East Village apartment will not face charges of heroin-possession after prosecutors dropped charges Monday.
Prosecutors said ex-NYPD officer Kenneth Moreno stashed two packets of heroin in his police locker that were uncovered during the an investigation into the rape charge.
Moreno and his partner were acquitted of rape but convicted of misconduct. Moreno was sentenced to one year in jail and is currently free. He is appealing the charges.
Prosecutors said Monday that they didn't see any reason to press charges in the heroin case, since he is already facing prison time.
Moreno shared his locker with five other officers, according to his lawyer, who claims the drugs were not Moreno's.
