(Save the date: RealShare Apartments East comes to the Hyatt Regency Miami, Florida on February 26th, 2013)
REDWOOD CITY, CA-As GlobeSt.com reported this morning, Raintree Partners, a Laguna Niguel, CA-based real estate investment and development company, has begun construction on a ground-up multifamily development project, called 201 Marshall. The project is a 116-unit, seven-story community next to the Caltrain station in the heart the City's expanding downtown.
201 Marshall is the first large project approved under Redwood City's Downtown Precise Plan.
GlobeSt.com has learned from Raintree director of development, Jason Check, that "The city's proximity to San Francisco and San Jose makes it a desirable location for young professionals who are commuting to these markets for employment, as well as for those wishing to live in an area with shopping, night-life, transportation, and expanding employment opportunities all within walking distance."
Check explains that "When we decided to build this project, one of the first things we did was to contact Zipcar, a car sharing company, to encourage the company to expand into Redwood City, which it did earlier this year across the street from our property. Our residents will now be able to walk to Zipcars, to Caltrain, and to employment, groceries, shopping, restaurants and nightlife," Check explained.
According to Check, Redwood City's Downtown Precise Plan enabled Raintree Partners to quickly entitle the site. "We were able to complete our entitlement effort with the City and start construction in little more than one year," he says.
"The Downtown Precise Plan is a very innovative plan, and one that should serve as a model to other cities seeking to create community supported change at a more rapid pace when the market supports new development," Check says.
Raintree Partners acquired the property at 201 Marshall St. directly from the seller in February 2012 in an off-market transaction after it had completed the entitlement for the project. The firm would not release further information on the seller or for how much it was purchased for by deadline. Construction is now underway on the project, which is scheduled to open in Spring 2014.
201 Marshall will contain studios, one- and two-bedroom floor plans. The community was designed by TCA Architects, and will feature a modern design with open-concept units, as well as loft-style units. The community will also feature upscale finishes, a bike repair workshop and bike lockers, telecommuting center, outdoor communal dining, and an expansive roof deck with an indoor/outdoor lounge area.
Raintree currently has three other Bay Area projects in development. The company is actively pursuing additional development opportunities in California, focusing on infill sites in core markets in both Northern and Southern California, according to a prepared statement.

Release 1.0.1:
This release is a revision one with a bug correction and a recompilation with JDK1.4. If you are using the POC 1.0.0, you shoud replace the xkins*.jar with 1.0.1 ones.
1) Jar recompiled with JDK1.4
Bug Correction:
1) TemplateTag: Corrected a problem when using this tag with enabledPooling.
Release 1.0.0:
Finally, the 1.0.0 release has came. In fact, there are not to many changes, just a few things and bugfixes.
This release is in fact the 1.0 one that should have been last year.
Next release I'll be working in XkinsFaces release. I think that a combination Shale+MyFaces+XkinsFaces could be great.
Hope I have a little more time.
1) You can place the xkin-definition.xml files in the WEB-INF/ directory or in the classpath.
2) Server tag: Tghis new Tag in xkin definition file allows you to place resources in other server.... read more
In this article, Guillermo Meyer defines the process of skinning a Web application and explains how to skin your own applications with Xkins, a framework for managing skins. You can use Xkins along with other UI frameworks, such as Struts and Tiles. Here, Meyer walks you through an example application that needs two skins and illustrates how to add a unique skin to it.
Read the article at
This new version just updates to the JSF1.1.
Also wxplains how to confiugure JSF RI examples to use XkinsFaces. Next release will have a complete example using XkinsFaces.
This article explains how you can use Xkins to skin a web application. It walks through an example with 2 skins and finally adds a new one.
Check this article at http://xkins.sourceforge.net/articles/skinwebapp
Release 0.9.9:
1) New Attribute in template definition: A new attribute was added to the template entity to allow to group templates.
Grouping templates is usefull when composing skins and choosing a group of template from one skin to compose.
2) Processor id: You can name the processors with a new tag in xkins definition, avoiding repeating the Processor class name every time.
Bug Correction:
1) ContextHolder.getLocalContext: If the context is not set, a nullpointerException ocurred. So this condition is verified.
This new release presents a POC that shows how to use Xkins with Struts.
release 0.9.8 changes are:
1) Skin composite: allows to compose a skin with templates from other skins, in a composite fashion.
2) Proof of Concept Xkins application: uses Xkins in a Struts based web application. Allows to create a Custom Skin by the user.
3) XkinsEditor: a new class that allows to compose Skins. see example in skinAction in Xkins POC
4) Log4J: XkinsLogger is created. Uses this logging mechanism inside Xkins. XKINS category is created.
5) Add release() method to taglibs.
6) JByte: New Template processor that uses Java By Template.
7) API improvement: Allows to use xkinProcessor and create templates on the fly easily:
a) Add a constructos for Skin with name, and with name and processor.
b) Add a constructor for Processor that receives a class as the TemplateProcessor
c) Add a constructor for Content to receive a string with the content or the url where the template content is.
d) Add a contructor for Template to receive a string with the content or the url where the template content is, and with name and processor.
8) Upgrade to Velocity 1.4
9) Bug correction on reloading Velocity based templates: When a Velocity template was modified and Xkins were reloaded, templates remained cached.
This is solved in this version.
10) XkinProcessor and an undefined skin: if you create a XkinProcessor with an undefined skin name, the default skin name is used.
11) Add a SkinType getter to Xkins
Xkin's Version 0.9.7 is released. The main changes are:
-Content location. you can place content file in classpath, skin directory or other web server
-Custom Skin class: You can create a custom Skin class to set custom parameters to your skin.
XkinsFaces is set of renderers that acts as decorators of existing renderers and implements Renderers. XkinsFaces works on top of Xkins and has a basic Skin that contains all Xkins Templates needed by the renderers.
A valid xkinsFaces Skin must extend this basic Skin in order to work. So, basic skin defines a "well known" set of templates to implement and use with XkinsFaces. Anyone can create his or her own Skin extending basic, deploy this new skin in a XkinsFaces application and the webapp will look like this skin commands. In a future, there could be lots of skins you could download and deploy in your webapp to look diferent without changing anything of your JSPs, classes or HTML.
Xkin Type check is a new feature that let's you to asure that a web application loads al least one skin type. A xkin type is a skin with a set of resources and templates, so if you have tags that uses some templates you can asure that all skins has these templates. You can extend a base skin that contains all templates you need and set this base skin as the xkin type to check.
This early access is an initial version of a set of renderers for JSF that uses skins through xkins.
This version can be used with myFaces. Next versions will use Reference implementation, Struts faces and Smile.
In this new Release, you can use XkinsServlet as a dispatcher for your Xkins tempaltes. This is like VelocityServlet, but uses xkins Processor to get Templates.
This is an initial version.
Xkins home page has been redesigned. This new page includes examples and references to Velocity, Struts and JavaServerFaces.
Visit this new page in http://xkins.sourceforge.net/
This release improves Skin processing performance using VelocityTemplateProcessor by 60%. This implements a ResourceLoader from Velocity and uses a cache.
This new release has the following new features:

Xkins-Forms: A taglib that allows you to create html forms using Xkins, integrated with Struts.

Independence of xkin-definition: you can define xkins templates in diferent xml files, each one in it's own skin directory.

Autoreload: If set, Xkins will be automatically reloaded when detect a change in a template definition.

New Skins for a more detailed demo.

1994 Acura Vigor Front Wheel Drive Automatic
I can't tell by looking underneath how the muffler is held in place. There are a few hooks on the muffler that has fallen off which leads me to believe it hooks onto the frame but does it also have a bracket or a hoist that holds it in place?

Homer Nods Too (A Symposium on Historical Fiction) (Historical Novels)
JNZL: Journal of New Zealand Literature 1991, Annual, 9
JNZL: Journal of New Zealand Literature
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
Of course writers of fiction try to get things right. But it isn't the end of the world if they don't. The book which stands at the beginning of Western literature--The Iliad--is loaded with anachronisms. Homer knew about chariots, but he didn't know what they were for. He concluded that they must have been used to ride into battle (not to battle from). So we have his heroes riding to the scene of fray and then enigmatically departing from their chariots in order to fight. This of course is comic. Indeed The Iliad is an anthology of absurdities--not least because we now know that Troy was little more than a village. I have twice walked its ruins and marvelled at the fact that in area it was little more than the size of a rugby field. A determined siege should have levelled so paltry a place in ten minutes; Homer tells us Agamemnon's host took ten years. They must have been the most incompetent belligerents in military history. (The likelihood is that they were no more than a cut-throat gang of pirates anyway. Even so, they should have turned Troy over in an hour or two.) Despite such nonsense The Iliad survives and will. An historical novelist tries to get it right for himself and his readers; he requires suspension of disbelief himself. I remember Eric McCormick reading my novel Strangers and Journeys in manuscript. He pointed out a fault in the opening chapter. I had people hiring pillows on the platform of the Wellington Railway Station in the year 1919. Pillows were not rented to passengers until 1930. It killed Eric's belief in the scene. I couldn't get home quickly enough to cut the offending lines. Why? (After all, how many would now know or remember?) I cut them because they were killing my belief in the book too. But in The Lovelock Version, an historical fantasia, I used anachronism to propel the narrrative here and there. (The novel was shamelessly written from the vantage point, or with the hindsight of the twentieth century anyway.) A number of readers, accustomed to the naturalism of New Zealand fiction, took offence and made their feelings known to me. Probably I did no more than confirm the widespread belief that novelists are a devious and unreliable lot. Too true. They are.

The legal profession is vast, with each attorney having his or her specialties. Here are some of the most common attorneys individuals seek out when they require legal aid:
Criminal Lawyer
A criminal defense lawyer is probably the attorney the average person imagines. Criminal attorneys are the men and women who defend individuals accused of a crime. The lawyer may work pro bono - for the public good - so the accused is certain to have representation, even if he or she cannot afford an attorney.
Criminal lawyers are experts in the criminal justice system. They help their clients decide how to plead when first charged by the police and guide them through trial procedures. Defense lawyers must use every bit of their knowledge and resources to get their clients the fairest results from criminal proceedings.
Business Lawyer
If you are a small business owner or the head of a larger corporation, you may come into contact with a business lawyer. Many big companies keep a legal staff on payroll to deal with the daily operations of running and maintaining a large enterprise. Business lawyers may have more specific specialties like copyright law, product liability and mergers and acquisitions.
Business attorneys may focus their practices on certain industries. There are entertainment lawyers to guide artists through royalties and media contracts, while hospitals employ malpractice attorneys to protect doctors from aggressive litigation.
Employment Lawyer
When you work for a company, you may find yourself in need of an employment lawyer - especially if the relationship between you and your employer sours. An employment attorney prevents people from losing their jobs due to unfair reasons. Workers' compensation lawyers help maintain safe employment conditions and ensure workers receive fair compensation after workplace injury or discrimination.
Finance Lawyer
A personal finance attorney can protect and manage your investments and securities. You may use a finance lawyer to help you prepare your taxes, but you might be better off working with an accountant. A tax attorney is more commonly contacted after a business or individual runs into trouble with the IRS or state regulators.
Real Estate Lawyer
Your family may keep a lawyer on retainer to guide you through the major expenses that come up in life. When buying a home, you could work with a real estate lawyer to make sure you get the best deal and won't get taken advantage of by tricky mortgage agreements or unfair landlords. An estate attorney can help you plan for the worst by creating a will and preparing your finances for after your death.
Bankruptcy Lawyer
A bankruptcy lawyer is essential to help you resolve your financial difficulties when they start to spin out of control. Certain attorneys help create strategies to bring you out of debt and speak to your creditors. A lawyer can advise you on which type of bankruptcy you should file for.
Civil Lawyer
If you are suing someone or being sued, you need a civil lawyer. Civil attorneys - and criminal lawyers - are the legal representatives who argue on your behalf in a courtroom setting. Civil lawyers may represent you on matters of business, finance or a wide variety of other specialized needs.
One of the most common types of civil attorneys is a personal injury lawyer. When you're hurt by an outside party and you would like to hold them legally responsible, a personal injury attorney conducts litigation and negotiates settlements to compensate for your pain and suffering. Sometimes many wronged people will join together with a single civil lawyer or law office to form a class action lawsuit.
Family/Divorce Lawyer
Most people will turn to a lawyer during a divorce to navigate the emotionally charged legal proceedings. A divorce attorney can assist in determining grounds for separation, division of property and custody of children.
Family attorneys deal with much more personal matters. If you're getting married, a family lawyer can help you prepare a prenuptial agreement or other family planning paperwork such as adoption or inheritance documents.
To ensure you find a competent attorney who won't abuse your trust or drain your finances, you have to make the proper inquiries. There are several questions you should ask, but the majority will fall under three general topics:
Training and Experience Questions
One of the best ways to determine quality is to examine an attorney's history. When you first step into a lawyer's office, you should check for the appropriate certifications and diplomas. You have to ask how long he or she has practiced law and request information that demonstrates the practice's success. Look for precise details such as percentage of cases settled out of court.
Once you inquire about the broad details of their legal career, you should ask questions about their experience that pertains to your specific issue. You should ask how many similar cases they have handled and if they have special skills or training that applies specifically to your needs. Lawyers can't mention clients by name, but you should ask for basic details about identical past cases.
Financial Questions
You need to ask about every possible fee that will come up when working with an attorney. You should request a list of all costs in advance so you won't be surprised by additional expenses like overhead. Also determine exactly when you will start being billed. You want to inspect paperwork carefully. If the attorney charges you for his or her experience, you need to make sure he or she will perform tasks personally and not hand it off to an assistant.
Find out if the attorney has a flat fee or charges by the hour. Many civil lawyers work on contingency. Whatever the payment plan, make inquiries about how the lawyer plans to provide service for your money and what you can do if you start to feel unsatisfied with his or her performance.
Lawyer/Client Relationship Questions
When you hire a lawyer, you're agreeing to work with someone over a certain period of time. You need to ask questions about how the attorney will communicate with you and what responsibilities you hold in the relationship. The attorney should let you know the best channel for quick communication and you need to inform him or her when you want updates.
You should also ask questions to get to know the attorney as an individual in order to ensure this is a person you can trust. Ask about their legal philosophy and how he or she views the lawyer/client relationship. Great questions to start off with are ones that will make your life easier, such as how to keep fees down or what daily disruptions you should expect from a long legal battle. The more forthcoming the lawyer appears to be with individual needs, the better.
You may keep a lawyer on retainer or you could turn to an attorney during specific situations. Here are some common reasons people begin seeking legal representation or advice:
You Know Your Limitations
If you sign documents and you come across a word you don't recognize, you need assistance. You may need a third party to help you navigate important employment or real estate paperwork. It's essential you fully understand the terms of any legally binding documentation or activity you become a part of. If you are not an expert in a given field, you'll want to hire an attorney who is.
A lawyer may find legal implications or opportunities you might miss. If you find yourself in a civil or criminal matter, a proper attorney ensures you don't receive a harsh punishment for a small mistake.
You're Facing an Important Event/Decision
When making decisions critical to your financial stability or personal life, you may want a lawyer with expertise in your situation to make sure you do everything you can to arrive at the proper resolution. This is especially true when you become involved in a criminal case and your freedom is on the line.
It's not just a matter of legal knowledge; lawyer's have access to numerous resources you do not. They have staff ready to work around the clock and experts in a variety of fields to give your important issues the attention they deserve.
You Can't Be Impartial
During times when personal matters intersect with legal proceedings, you may need to have an advocate to prevent your emotions from getting in the way of level-headed thinking. For example, divorce lawyers can mediate a heated argument and help both partners get on with their lives.
Emotional investment could be subtle. You may want to have a lawyer look over an investment opportunity that looks too good to be true or investigate the merits of a possible civil suit when you feel wronged.
You're Out of Options
Many people turn to lawyers when they are in trouble. If you've been accused of a crime or are in a terrible financial situation, you can find an attorney who will work with what you have available to assist you as you deal with your problems.
Personal injury lawyers find solutions for people who can no longer work under their own power and bankruptcy attorneys prevent people from giving in to debt. If you find yourself in a situation where you can't find a solution, a lawyer may be able to offer the counsel you need.
When it comes time to choose a lawyer, you should start by searching close to home. While you probably don't want the conflict of interest that comes from being represented by a family member, friends and loved ones can recommend lawyers who served them well in the past. If you do have attorneys you are familiar with, ask who they believe would be best for you.
After going through personal references - especially from individuals who had similar needs - you should broaden your search through public information resources. You can call your area's attorney referral service or check legal organizations like Martindale-Hubbell. There are other resources available online. You should check websites for client reviews and other third-party forms of approval.
When you build a list of possible candidates, perform a background check on each one. See if you can find information on their history and success record. Once you find a possible lawyer, you should call to arrange a consultation so you can ask your important questions in person.
By performing the necessary research and taking every available precaution, you can narrow your search to the attorney most suited to your needs.

Posted by ESPN.com's Chris Low
I had a question recently about who I thought would be the top five running backs in the SEC next season.
After careful study and breaking down everybody's returning running game, here's my take:
1. Anthony Dixon, Mississippi State: The decision to go with Dixon as the top guy is based on a couple of factors. For one, Mississippi State offensive coordinator Les Koenning told me recently that Dixon was having a very good offseason and was down around the 220 to 225-pound range and moving extremely well. Here's the other thing: The Bulldogs are going to feed him the ball next season. He's their only proven weapon offensively and is going to get a bunch of touches. Dixon has been overshadowed the last couple years by other backs in the SEC. But not next season.
2. Charles Scott, LSU: The only problem with the 235-pound Scott is that the Tigers are so deep at running back. Keiland Williams and Richard Murphy also return, so there's a chance LSU may spread the wealth in 2009. Scott may also be pressed into some duty at fullback with Quinn Johnson gone. Still, when you run for 1,174 yards and 18 touchdowns, as Scott did last season, chances are that you'll be the No. 1 option again. With so much inexperience at quarterback, the Tigers won't stray too far from their running game, but they have to replace the middle of their offensive line now that center Brett Helms and massive guard Herman Johnson are gone.
3. Michael Smith, Arkansas: He's the Hogs' little guy that could. Few players in the SEC have a bigger heart than the 5-7, 173-pound Smith, who will miss the spring while recovering from surgery on his hamstring. Smith rushed for 1,072 yards in 10 games last season, but the wear and tear of carrying the ball so much eventually took its toll. Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino is going to get him some help this season. The Hogs are bringing in some bigger backs to ease the short-yardage load, which should keep Smith fresh. Smith can also catch the ball out of the backfield, which makes him a factor on any down.
4. Caleb King, Georgia: This may be a bit of a gamble, but King has tons of ability and is just waiting for a chance to be the No. 1 option in the running game. He and Richard Samuel will share the carries next season, but offensive line play figures to be one of the Bulldogs' strengths in 2009. Nobody's going to step in and be Knowshon Moreno, and nobody's saying King will put up those kind of numbers. But here's betting he has a big season in 2009 and asserts himself as one of the most talented runners in the SEC.
5. Trent Richardson, Alabama: I went back and forth on this one, because we know somebody for the Crimson Tide is going to be among the rushing leaders. Mark Ingram would have been the safer choice after he rushed for 728 yards and averaged 5.1 yards per carry last season, and he may well wind up being Alabama's go-to guy in the running game. But watching Richardson on tape and knowing how quickly Nick Saban develops young players who are physically and mentally ready, my hunch is that Richardson steps in where Glen Coffee left off a year ago.
In closing: I didn't include Ole Miss' Dexter McCluster because he said recently that he would be working with the receivers this spring. But he's still something to see in that Wild Rebel package and has gained some weight this offseason. Leaving Auburn's Ben Tate out of the top 5 was tough, and all the Florida speedsters sort of cancel each other out. If had my choice of any "running game" in the SEC, I'd take Tim Tebow along with the Jeffery Demps-Chris Rainey combo. People tend to forget that the Gators led the SEC in rushing with an average of 231.1 yards per game last season. The second-place team (Ole Miss) was almost 45 yards behind them. If you're looking for two guys to break through next season at running back, I'd go with Ole Miss' Enrique Davis and Tennessee's Lennon Creer. And is this the year we finally see all of Mario Fannin's talents on full display at Auburn?

Hi everybody!
I am working on a wordpress-based website for some months now and the last item missing is a gallery plugin. I tried Exhibit (didn't work, but doesn't seem to be what I am looking for either), the Gallery thing is nice but I want something more simple.
What I hope to find:
» A simple gallery plugin (upload func. not neccessary)
» Devidable in albums (or similar)
» Creating thumbs
» eventually a comment function for the pictures
Is there something like this? If not, any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

AbstractThe process of dispensing unguided submunition projectiles from weapons systems must result in stable projectile flight with high kinetic energy and even dispersion over the target area. This project will incorporate a solid body collision methodology into the existing Loci/CHEM coupled 6-DoF/CFD framework to enable simulation of the simultaneous collision and aerodynamic interference effects between large numbers of projectiles that dominate the early phases of the ejection process that are not amenable to simulation with engineering level methods. The Loci/CHEM architecture has demonstrated extreme scalability and automatic parallelism that make a CFD based simulation approach with large numbers of moving bodies possible. Phase I will demonstrate the efficiency of the CFD based simulation system, integrate a body collision prediction module in the coupled 6-DoF/CFD system, and demonstrate the scalability to simulations with large numbers of projectiles. Phase II will see full implementation of the coupled simulation capability, application demonstrations for capturing dominant influence factors in the dispersion process, and development of a design-of-experiment methodology to deliver probabilistic projectile state definitions with reasonable computational effort. The resulting probabilistic definition of projectile spatial distribution and flight state will be handed over to the more economical engineering level methods for the terminal flight phase. BENEFIT: Military Application: The resulting simulation capability will enable design and evaluation of technology and concept maturation for save dispensing and pin-point delivery of payloads. It will support integration design of submunition and ordnance ejection processes for hypersonic and lower Mach airframes. Commercial Application: The predictive capabilities will benefit system design and process planning for air delivery of payloads such as humanitarian relief supplies. The methodology will help predict payload ground-impact distributions for flight regimes intended for commercial applications.

Very happy
This hotel is conveniently located off of the interstate, if you can find it. It is tucked in an alley, out of view of the main road. It is good for passing through the area, but not to explore the city. The rooms are small, uncomfortable, old, and stuffy. There is no air conditioning or airflow throughout the room or the bathroom. The first room we were assigned was so stuffy and smelled of mildew, so we opened the window to air it out. Since it was on the first floor, it opened (with no screen), directly into the parking lot and we felt unsafe. We moved to a higher floor, which helped slightly. The wifi was slow and problematic.
Traveling in the hot summer this is not the place to stay. No air conditioning. Very small room for 3 people. The hotel looked old and a little unkept. The staff were very accommodating when we asked for a fan, they gave us the only one behind the desk.
It was fine
Nice basic hotel, good continental breakfast, great food on our first night, but a shame the restaurant isn't open at weekend. No residents bar, can get a drink in the restaurant but not good at the weekend when it's closed. The hotel was great as a base to visit The War Graves

After reading the Millionaire Next Door three times ( I currently own 5 copies and give them as gifts to friends and family when they graduate from high school/college) it had a profound impact on my life. I think following the seven principles of millionaires covered in that book can drastically increase your odds of becoming FIRE. They are:
1. They live well below their means.
2. They allocate their time, energy, and money efficiently in ways conducive to building wealth.
3. They believe that financial independence (the FI in FIRE) is more important than displaying high social status.
4. Their parents did not provide economic outpatient care.
5. Their adult children are economically self-sufficient.
6. They are proficient in targeting market opportunities.
7. They chose the right occupation.

This Mad Men Emmy Campaign May Be SC&P's Best Work

Mad Men usually lays pretty low during Emmy campaign season, but since they're in their (first half of their) last season, and up against some particularly stiff competition, the show's marketing team has pulled out its biggest, shiniest, vintage-iest guns.
The campaign is taking the form of vintage-looking ads featuring the show's cast. They may not be Carousel, but damn do I suddenly want to buy all the red hair dye I can find.
Now if only there were a vacation package ad featuring Bob Benson.

Visa, MasterCard push for chip cards
NEW YORK — Visa and MasterCard are renewing a push to speed the adoption of microchips into U.S. credit and debit cards in the wake of recent high-profile data breaches, including this week's revelation that hackers stole consumer data from eBay's computer systems.
Card processing companies argue that a move away from the black magnetic strips on the backs of credit cards would eliminate a substantial amount of U.S. credit card fraud. They say it's time to offer U.S. consumers the greater protections microchips provide by joining Canada, Mexico and most of Western Europe in using cards with the more advanced technology.
Chips aren't perfect, says Carolyn Balfany, MasterCard's group head for U.S. product delivery, but the extra barrier they present is one of the reasons criminals often choose to target U.S.-issued cards, whose magnetic strips are easy to replicate.
"Typically, fraudsters are going to go to the path of least resistance," Balfany says.
The chip technology hasn't been adopted in the U.S. because of costs and disputes over how the network would operate. Retailers have long balked at paying for new cash registers and back office systems to handle the new cards. There have been clashes between retailers, card issuers and processors over which processing networks will get access to the new system and whether to stick with a signature-based system or move to one that requires a personal identification number instead. These technical decisions impact how much retailers and customers have to pay — and how much credit card issuers make — each time a card is used.
The disputes have now largely been resolved. And the epic breach of Target's computer systems in December, which involved the theft of 40 million debit and credit card numbers, along with smaller breaches at companies such as Neiman Marcus and Michaels, helped garner support for chip-based cards among retailers who were previously put off by the costs.
Chip cards are safer, argue supporters, because unlike magnetic strip cards that transfer a credit card number when they are swiped at a point-of-sale terminal, chip cards use a one-time code that moves between the chip and the retailer's register. The result is a transfer of data that is useless to anyone except the parties involved. Chip cards, say experts, are also nearly impossible to copy.
For its part, Target is accelerating its $100 million plan to roll out chip-based credit card technology in its nearly 1,800 stores. New payment terminals will appear in stores by September, six months ahead of schedule. Last month, the retailer announced that it will team up with MasterCard to issue branded Target payment cards equipped with chip technology early in 2015. The move will make Target the first major U.S. retailer with its own branded chip-based cards.
Even so, the protections chips provide only go so far, according to opponents who note that chips don't prevent fraud in online transactions, where consumers often enter credit card numbers into online forms. Some opponents also point to other technologies, such as point-to-point encryption, as better long-term solutions.
Ken Stasiak, founder and CEO of SecureState, a Cleveland-based information security firm that investigates data breaches, says that while chips would be a big security improvement, they wouldn't have stopped the hackers from breaching Target's computer systems where they also stole the personal information, including names and addresses, of as many as 70 million people, putting them at risk of identity theft.
"Chip and pin is just another security component," Stasiak says. "What matters is how companies like Target use consumer information, how they protect it."
Banks generally pick up the tab for credit card-related losses, but companies such as Visa and MasterCard stand to lose too, if data breaches continue to occur with increasing frequency. After all, if consumers don't feel safe using cards, they may choose other ways to pay for purchases.
"It's not just about fraud and losses, it's about the trust involved in electronic payments that's destroyed," says Ellen Ritchey, Visa's chief enterprise risk officer.
In March, Visa and MasterCard announced plans to bring together banks, credit unions, retailers, makers of card processing equipment and industry trade groups in a group that aims to strengthen the U.S. payment system for credit and debit cards. The initial focus of the new group will be on banks' adoption of chip cards.
That comes ahead of a liability shift set to occur in October 2015, when the costs resulting from the theft of debit and credit card numbers will largely fall to the party involved with the least advanced —and most vulnerable— technology. For example, if a bank has updated to chip technology, but the retailer involved hasn't, the retailer will be liable for the costs.
Stasiak says many of the retailers he works with already have the technology in place. Once the banks start issuing chip cards, the retailers will activate their new systems, he says.
Banks say that despite the jump in high-profile data breaches, fraud still accounts for a small fraction of total transactions processed, while the cost related to issuing chip cards to all of their customers and switching out all of their ATMs is substantial. Banks have urged lawmakers to make retailers more accountable for their own security in hopes of recouping more of the losses from cybercrime.
Richard Hunt, CEO of Consumer Bankers Association, says that in cases of major fraud, banks have generally been able to collect only pennies on the dollar from the retailers involved.
Hunt says even if banks put chips in cards, it won't do any good if retailers don't upgrade their systems.
"We have to improve fraud prevention across the board," he says. "There are people who get up every day across the world with one mission and that's to break credit card technology. But there's no magic pill out there. The solution involves everyone."

ART; Paying Homage as Only Another Master Can
Published: January 18, 1998
(Page 2 of 2)
Titian completed this work when he was in his 70's. It was the last of a series of what he called ''poesie'' - mythological love stories - painted for a king who identified with Jove. According to Mr. Goldfarb, that immortal bull splashing out to sea with a girl who was about to give her name to a new continent could well have symbolized the vastness and newness of Philip II's domain.
RUBENS REPRODUCED EVERY DETAIL of Titian's work, down to a tiny ship in the distance, but the Rubens possesses its own exuberance and spontaneity. David Freedberg, professor of art history at Columbia University and a contributor of the exhibition catalogue, pointed out in an interview that while many of Rubens's paintings were finished in his workshop, ''this is Rubens's own hand, trying to do as Titian did.'' Its rush toward a consummation, however, is happier than Titian's, which plays swirling figures against a still sea, Europa's fear against Jove's calm. Even the mountains in Rubens's version roil like waves.
Although Rubens's efforts at diplomacy failed, he had learned important lessons in life and in art. A widower, he retired from politics at the age of 53, married the 16-year-old daughter of an art dealer, had five children with her and kept working, responding to Titian. A friend said that Rubens carried Titian in his mind as a lady carries her beloved in her heart.
Philip IV was initially offended that a mere painter had been sent to him as an ambassador, but he and Rubens eventually became close friends. During the last five years of Rubens's life, the King ordered 82 paintings, including a series with mythological subjects inspried by Titian's poesie.
At Rubens's death in 1640, his inventory listed 3 Titians and 33 copies he had made after Titian. When his widow sold the paintings, Philip bought many works, including the ''Europa'' copy, which ment that both masterpieces then belonged to him. Now, more than 350 years later, they are together again.
Painting for a Web of Royalty
BOTH TITIAN (1488?-1576) AND RUBENS (1577-1640), four of whose masterpieces will be on view at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, painted for European rulers intricately interconnected by blood and by marriage. Titian's patrons included Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who controlled Spain, Austria, Bohemia, Naples and, after the Sack of Rome in 1527, Italy. Philip II, who commissioned Titian's ''Europa,'' was the son of Charles V; Philip was King of Spain and Portugal, and his empire touched four continents.
By Rubens's time, Protestants had established themselves in northern Europe, splitting his homeland, the Netherlands, into Catholic (south) and Protestant (north). In 1628-9, when he painted the works in this show, Rubens, acting as ambassador for the Catholic Archduchess Isabella of the Netherlands, visited Spain and England to promote peace between the belligerent nations, hoping it would lead to a reunited Netherlands. The King of Spain, Philip IV, was Isabella's nephew.. The King of England was Charles I, a Protestant who had married the Catholic daughter of Marie de Medici and Henry IV of France. Philip, Marie and Charles all commissioned works from Rubens, and the two kings knighted him.

Solid state memories (SSMs) provide an efficient mechanism for storing and transferring data in a wide variety of applications, such as hand-held portable electronic devices. Individual memory cells within such memories can be volatile or non-volatile, and can store data by the application of suitable write currents to the cells to store a sequence of bits. The stored bits can be subsequently read during a read access operation by applying suitable read currents and sensing voltage drops across the cells.
Some SSM cell configurations employ a memory element coupled to a channel based switching device such as a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET). The switching device provides selective access to the memory element during read and write operations. Examples of memory cells with this type of memory element-switching device arrangement include, but are not limited to, volatile dynamic random access memory (DRAM), non-volatile resistive random access memory (RRAM), and non-volatile spin-torque transfer random access memory (STRAM).
While operable, a limitation with the use of MOSFETs and other types of switching devices in a memory cell is the areal extent (size) of such devices. A horizontal MOSFET layout is often used in which the associated drain and source regions are placed adjacent one another in a base substrate, with the channel region extending horizontally therebetween. The memory element is formed above either the source or the drain.
Horizontal MOSFETs may require a minimum size of about 4F2 where F is the minimum feature dimension of the associated manufacturing process (e.g., F=70 nm, etc.). Since this is significantly larger than the areal size of many types of memory elements, the switching device size can be a limiting factor in achieving greater areal densities in a memory array.
Some recent semiconductor memory designs have proposed a stacked memory cell arrangement whereby the memory element and the transistor are vertically aligned as a pillar, or stack, above a base substrate. In a stacked memory cell, the drain and source regions are located one above the other, with the channel region extending vertically therebetween. While advantageously promoting an enhanced areal data density, it can be difficult to form individual control lines (such as source lines) that interconnect the bottom sides of the memory cells along respective rows or columns in the array.
Various embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to an apparatus with embedded (bottom side) control lines for vertically stacked semiconductor elements, and a method for forming the same.
In accordance with some embodiments, a multi-wafer structure is formed by providing a first semiconductor wafer with a first facing surface on which a first conductive layer is formed. The first semiconductor wafer is attached to a second semiconductor wafer to form the multi-wafer structure, with the second semiconductor wafer having a second facing surface on which a second conductive wafer is formed.
The first conductive layer is contactingly bonded to the second conductive layer to form an embedded combined conductive layer within the structure. Portions of the embedded combined conductive layer are subsequently removed to form a plurality of spaced apart control lines that extend in a selected length or width dimension through said structure.
These and other features and advantages which characterize the various embodiments of the present invention can be understood in view of the following detailed discussion and accompanying drawings.
The present disclosure is generally directed to an apparatus characterized as a multi-wafer structure with embedded (bottom side) control lines, and an associated method for making the same. The embedded control lines provide electrical interconnection with vertically stacked semiconductor elements within the multi-wafer structure.
As explained below, in various embodiments an acceptor wafer is formed that incorporates various control circuitry, and a donor wafer is formed that incorporates a matrix from which individual channel based switching devices are subsequently formed.
The acceptor wafer and the donor wafer are each provided with a metal layer on a respective facing surface. The acceptor and donor wafers are attached to form the multi-wafer structure, and during this attachment process the respective metal layers are brought together to form a single combined metal layer that is embedded within the multi-wafer structure. The combined metal layer is transformed during subsequent processing into individual embedded bottom side control lines (e.g., embedded source lines).
A programmable controller 102 provides top level control of the device 100 during operation. An interface circuit (I/F) 104 communicates with the host and transfers data to be stored in a semiconductor memory 106.
The semiconductor memory 106 is characterized as a non-volatile storage space formed from one or more arrays 108 of non-volatile memory cells. In other embodiments, the memory 106 can take the form of a volatile memory space such as a DRAM cache. Additional hierarchical memory storage layers can be provided such as a downstream non-volatile main storage (e.g., a magnetic disc, etc.).
Each cell 110 in the array 108 includes a switching device 112 connected in series with a resistive memory element 114. In some embodiments, the switching devices 112 are characterized as n-channel MOSFETs (transistors), and the memory elements 114 are programmable resistive sense elements such as but not limited to resistive random access memory (RRAM) elements, spin-torque transfer random access memory (STRAM) elements or programmable metallization cells (PMCs).
A number of bit lines 116 denoted as BL0-BL3 interconnect a first end ("top side") of each of the cells along each column. Source lines 118 denoted as SL0-SL3 interconnect an opposing, second end ("bottom side") of each of the cells along each column. Word lines 120 denoted as WL0-WL2 interconnect the gate regions of the MOSFETs 112 along each row. It will be appreciated that other arrangements and interconnection schemes can be employed, so that the schematic representation of
The memory element 114 is characterized in
Application of a suitable write current through the element 114 will induce passage of metal ions from one or both of the electrodes 132, 134 to form one or more electrically conductive filaments 138 across the barrier layer 136. The presence of the filament(s) will provide the memory element 114 with a relatively low resistance RL. The element 114 can be reprogrammed to the initial high resistance RH state by the application of a suitable write voltage in the opposite direction, which will induce retraction of the metal ions back to the respective electrodes 132, 134.
To program the memory cell 110 to a desired state, the WL driver 130 will assert the WL 120 and respective BL and SL drivers 140, 142 will direct current through the memory element 114 in the appropriate direction and at the appropriate voltage and current magnitudes. The programmed state of the element 114 can be subsequently read by asserting the WL 120, passing a smaller read bias current through the memory cell 110 such as from BL driver 140 to SL driver 142, and comparing the resulting voltage on the BL 116 to a reference voltage using a separate sense amplifier (not shown).
The stacked nature of the memory cell 110 in
One prior art solution uses filled via structures such as depicted in
While operable, it can be appreciated that the approach in
Another prior art solution that has been employed with stacked cells is the use of a common source plane (SP), such as depicted at 156 in
While operable, limitations with
Accordingly, various embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to a manufacturing process that efficiently and easily forms bottom-side control lines (e.g., source lines) for an array of vertically stacked memory cells. To illustrate such processing, reference is first made to
The acceptor wafer 160 includes a circuit layer 162 in which various control circuits, including CMOS circuitry, are formed during prior processing. This circuitry may include the various drivers shown in
The donor wafer 170 includes a number of layers including a base layer 172, which may be a bulk oxide. A doped silicon matrix 174 is formed in the base layer, and includes regions 176, 178 and 180 of respective NPN doping levels to ultimately form the respective drain, source and channel regions 122, 124 and 126 in
A memory element layer 182 is provided on the silicon matrix 174, and includes a number of layers to form a memory element such as the layers 132, 134 and 136 in
The respective wafers 160, 170 are mated as shown in
As will become apparent from the following discussion, the individual control (source lines) are eventually formed from this metal layer 186, so the metal layer can be characterized as a planar extent of conductive material with a substantially uniform thickness and overall length and width dimensions substantially corresponding to the overall length and width dimensions of the multi-wafer structure. In this way, the finished control lines will fully extend across the array in parallel, spaced apart fashion in the desired direction (e.g., in the row direction or the column direction, as required).
The base oxide layer 172 is removed and localized areas (dots) of photoresist (PR) 188 are applied to the top of the silicon matrix, as shown in
A hard mask is applied as shown in
An etching process is carried out in
Gate structures for the transistors 112 are next formed as set forth in
Top side bit lines (116 in
The deposited material forms a layer of uniform thickness that covers the length and width dimensions of the overall array. Suitable masking and etching processing (not separately depicted) removes portions of this material to form the parallel, spaced apart bit lines 116 as shown.
It will now be appreciated that the various embodiments as presented herein provide a number of advantages over the prior art. Spaced apart bottom side control lines can be easily and efficiently formed during manufacturing, eliminating the need for additional interconnections and conductive layers. Unlike top side interconnection techniques, the present process allows the source lines to run independently of the bit lines. Enhanced data densities can be achieved and multiple concurrent access operations can be carried out on different parts of the array, as desired.
While the various embodiments presented herein have utilized the disclosed process to form non-volatile memory cells, it will be appreciated that such is not limiting. For example, volatile memory cells can just as readily be formed using the foregoing steps modified as necessary to meet the requirements of a given application. Also, the disclosed process can be used in other applications not necessarily limited to stacked memory cells, such as an array of switchable channel elements.
It is to be understood that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of various embodiments of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of various embodiments of the invention, this detailed description is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of structure and arrangements of parts within the principles of the present invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.

I thought these were white-ish pillows with dark gray swirls, but when they arrived I noticed they were silver with black swirls. I actually like them better than what I thought I ordered.
I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty and quality of this pillow. It was much prettier than the picture and goes beautifully on my couch.

It is standard industry practise for companies who are selling off their various corporate sub's to do blanket claims denials in order to books their balance sheets Steve or if you prefer Forrest. I have seen it many times. You are screwed and need to get a lawyer. Of course anyone who buys one of KFS's subs will find out later they don't have the profit generating machine they believed when they looked at the books. You can only do mass claims denials for so long before it kills the goose that layed the golden egg so to say. Good Luck Mr. Haas and be sure to come back to let us know how KFS is "cooking" the books pre-sale. Buyer beware not only of the insurance but of the insurance company is the caviate. I'd look for abnormal claims denials in recent or long term data, then adjust valuation DOWN...
"strengthening relationships with regulators and rating agencies, being sure we have the right people in the right role."I want to remind longs here that blanet denials are not the way to "strengthen relationships with regulators". Have we not learned a thing from the disaster in Illinois where the company was ordered to process claims in a proper and timely manner and fined a considerable about? We are on the shit list of USA regulators and as a forgein based company we cannot afford to remain on this list. Mr. Forrest does us a great service by giving us real time field reports on how our claims practises are a cluster fuck at best. Lip service will only serve to keep this company going in the wrong direction with regulators. The consideration of new leadership should be the focus of the BOD!!! Is there not an activist investor like Mr. Chapman at EDCI who will take over this disaster?Thanks, Dan. I believe we are at the turning point in Kingsway's transformation. Since last quarter's call, we have taken action that will allow us to put the legacy of poor historical business strategies behind us. We can now concentrate our attention on rebuilding the strength and performance of the group. On last quarter's call, I provided an update on the considerable process we made in executing the transformation plan we announced in February of this year. I outlined what we were doing on all four fronts. All of which I'll touch on again this morning. The four were, restoring financial stability, managing the run-off of Lincoln, strengthening relationships with regulators and rating agencies, being sure we have the right people in the right role.
Woo hold up there. I can speak for myself so please I thank the help but I'm not complete in my claims processing yet. It may be the case that everything is proper with my claims handling. I just have concerns which may prove to be unfounded. So lets not jump to conclusions. So far it is alarming but not conclusive. I have faith in Southern to do the right thing by writen policy, they would be fools to not honor a policy. Lets give them time to work it out and I'll agree to keep the board informed. Not paying claims is good if the claim is invalid but mine is a valid claim which needs to be processed properly that is all I'm saying. Thanks for the help but lets not jump to conclusions. Steve

Description: Dull-witted Mexican peasant Ernesto Gomez Cruz comes into possession of a rooster severely injured in a cockfight. He restores the bird's health and wins several bouts, then runs afoul of gambler Alejandro Parodi, who has the rooster's ribs cracked so it can never win again. Taking Cruz under his wing, the gambler teaches the peasant how to be tops in the speculating field. In the company of Parodi's girlfriend Blanca Guerra, who functions as a human good-luck charm, Cruz becomes successful, but Guerra tires of living in Cruz's shadow and kills herself. More than a little influenced by Luis Bunuel, the Mexican Realm of Fortune (El Imperio De La Fortuna) won several awards in its country of origin, though it has only fitfully seen the light of day in the US.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
