You need an appraisal (in your agreement) contingency to make sure you do not overpay.
You really want a house inspection. You do not want to buy a house that needs $34k of repairs not knowing it.
You need to have a title search done and buy title insurance. Compared to the risk of not owning the house you just paid for it is cheap.
Get a CLUE report. It is an insurance report showing the past claims on a property. If it has a bad history you could pay excessive amounts of insurance premiums.
Below is an important blog to read. I had no idea this even mattered before I saw it.
A basic overview of the normal home buying process
Questions I would ask when buying any property. It can save you some very annoying problems if you do the research first.
Your first step is to get pre-qualified or pre-approved for your mortgage. Look at homes on this site and owners.com to get comparable data on homes for sale and those that have sold (Trulia has this). If your county or town lists their tax parcel information online, you can also look up homes in the neighborhood and what they sold for as well as when they last sold.
always as questions :)
Call me and I can walk you through the process. I am an experienced certified buyer's agent and can work on your behalf putting your interests first when purchasing a property.

In what could well be one of your most important tranactions: that you might
make in your life. To get a "Buyers agent" to work for you is a must.
Another option is to hire a REALTOR who represents YOU as their client in the purchasing process. This REALTOR would be a Certified Buyer Representative (CBR) and is commonly known as a Buyer's Broker or Buyer's Agent. This agent would let you know what comparable homes in the neighborhood have sold for, would negotiate on your behalf with the goal of your obtaining the home for the least amount of money possible, would counsel you and be with you each step of the way from offer to closing.
If you would like additional information on hiring a Buyer's Agent, please contact me by phone directly at (516)410-3594 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Police: Man drove 101 mph down slushy roadFebruary 16,2014Staff Report
SHAFTSBURY - Slick roads didn't prevent a New Yorker from driving more than 100 mph Saturday afternoon, police said.
Jay Philippi, 32, of Cold Spring, N.Y., is facing a charge of negligent operation after state police allegedly stopped him for driving 101 mph on Route 7.
"Road conditions were slippery at the time, with a layer of slush and snow covering the roadway," said State Trooper Justin Walker in a statement.
The posted speed limit is 55 mph.
Philippi is scheduled to answer the charge March 24 in Bennington criminal court.MORE IN This Just In

The Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) is proud to support ground-breaking diabetes research by Dr. Pere Santamaria, which led to the development of a new type of medicine that restores normal blood glucose levels in type 1 diabetes and reverses the effects of other autoimmune diseases. The results of this research have recently been published in Nature, a top-ranked science journal.
In autoimmune disorders, such as type 1 diabetes, white blood cells in the immune system mistakenly attack healthy cells in the body instead of focusing on germs, viruses, and other foreign cells. Dr. Santamaria's research focused on trying to find a way to understand and correct this misfiring of the immune system.
With funding from the CDA and other sources, Dr. Santamaria and his team discovered how to turn disease-causing white blood cells into disease-suppressing ones (also called T- and B-regulatory cells). The existence of these cells was previously known to science, but not that they could be derived from disease-causing white blood cells.
Dr. Santamaria discovered this by studying the response of type 1 diabetes-causing white blood cells to a new class of medicines developed in his laboratory and, in turn, came up with the medicines to accomplish this remarkable feat. The results of this research bring Dr. Santamaria's team closer to human clinical trials, as an essential step towards eventually making these medications available to patients.
The CDA has a long history of supporting Dr. Santamaria's work and has been funding his various research projects since 1999. In 2011, the CDA partnered with the University of Calgary to fund the Julia McFarlane Chair in Diabetes Research, held by Dr. Santamaria, to support research focused on finding a cure for diabetes. The CDA committed $1.25 million to this partnership ($250,000 per year for five years), derived through local fundraising efforts, and has also supported Dr. Santamaria's work through CDA's Operating Grant competition.
As the Julia McFarlane Chair in Diabetes Research and professor in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Infectious Diseases at the University of Calgary, Dr. Santamaria is driven by a commitment to bring scientific discoveries to the bedside by finding ways to directly treat diabetes.
"As a scientist, I feel very fortunate to have had the curiosity to ask the questions that took us into the path to making this discovery. I am extremely excited about this technology; it affords hope for patients and has a real potential to be effective." – Dr. Pere Santamaria
"The Canadian Diabetes Association is committed to funding diabetes research that has the potential to advance treatments or find a cure for diabetes. The CDA has provided more than $130 million to support researchers over the last 40 years and the promising results from Dr. Santamaria's research highlight how critical it is to continue to fund this type of work. We are grateful to our donors, as their support made it possible for the CDA to make a long-term financial commitment to this project." – Rick Blickstead, President and CEO, CDA
"Dr. Santamaria's innovative discovery represents a remarkable advance in diabetes research. In an animal model he has been able to stop the very onset of type 1 diabetes—an autoimmune attack that destroys the body's ability to make insulin—and to do so without disabling the whole immune system. While more work is needed to see if his approach will be safe and effective in humans, this progress gives real hope to those who are searching for—and waiting for—a cure. We look forward to closely following the progress of this project as it moves into the clinical trial phase." – Dr. Jan Hux, Chief Science Officer, CDA

The present invention relates generally to the field of integrated circuit fabrication, and more particularly relates to a method of improving film adhesion in thin film integrated circuit structures.
The design and manufacture of semiconductor integrated circuits is well known in the art. With the many recent advances in integrated circuit technology, device dimensions are continuously decreasing while the packing density and complexity of these devices are correspondingly increasing. Coincident with these advances are also increasingly stringent requirements for electrical interconnection materials. Briefly, these requirements are low resistivity, the ability to withstand the chemicals and high temperatures used in fabrication processes, and the capability of being patterned into fine lines.
In a typical MOSFET structure, for example, an epitaxially grown single-crystal silicon layer provides a base or substrate, while polycrystalline silicon ("polysilicon") is the standard material for both gate and interconnect structures. The polysilicon is insulated from electrically conductive overlayers and the single crystal silicon substrate by layers of silicon dioxide. Although polysilicon provides the requisite stability to processing chemicals and high temperatures, a major limitation now restricting its utility as an interconnection material in high performance devices is its limited conductivity. Even heavily doped polysilicon has a conductivity of only about 300 micro-ohm-cm., thus imposing a serious limitation on circuit performance. One proposed solution has been to replace polysilicon with pure metals such as aluminum, tungsten or titanium, which have a conductivity far higher than that of polysilicon. However, these materials are also limited in that they may react with the silicon substrate at the high temperatures used in integrated circuit fabrication and may additionally be unable to withstand the chemical reagents used in processing.
An alternative solution has been the incorporation of refractory metal silicides into integrated circuit fabrication technology. Silicides offer several advantages over single-layer doped polysilicon. In contrast to doped polysilicon, which at a typical thickness of 4500 angstroms has a sheet resistivity of 15 ohms per sheet or more, silicides provide on the order of 2 ohms per sheet or less. Tantalum and tungsten silicides each have sheet resistivities of about 2 ohms per sheet, molybdenum silicide about 1.5 to about 2.0 ohms per sheet, and titanium silicide about 0.5 ohms per sheet. Silicides are also compatible with MOSFET and other integrated circuit fabrication processes as they can generally withstand high temperatures and caustic processing chemicals. Finally, providing there is sufficient silicon underlying the silicide layer, a self-passivating silicon dioxide layer can be thermally grown over the silicide without any degradation of chemical or electrical properties of the silicide film.
Metallic silicides provide the desired resistivity and the chemical and thermal stability necessary for use as interconnects, and they function well as FET gates. A layered structure having a polysilicon layer sufficiently thick to serve as a transistor gate, underlying the silicide, is often used. These "polycide" structures have resistivities on the order of 4 ohms per sheet or less where the combined thickness of both layers is about 4500 angstroms. The use of such polycide structures is fairly recent but is known in the art. U.S. Pat. No. 4,180,596 to Crowder et al., for example, discloses a method of providing a silicide layer on a polysilicon substrate by means of sputtering and subsequent annealing. U.S. Pat. No. 4,468,308 to Scovell et al. shows a method of providing a silicide layer on a semiconductor substrate using a vapor deposition technique. Other semiconductor circuit structures having silicide layers include those disclosed in the following: U.S. Pat. No. 4,276,557 to Levinstein et al., which shows a tantalum or titanium silicide layer sandwiched between a layer of doped polysilicon and a vapor-deposited layer of silicon dioxide; U.S. Pat. No. 4,332,839 to Levinstein et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 4,337,476 to Fraser et al., which show a silicide layer interposed between a layer of polysilicon and a thermally grown layer of silicon dioxide; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,450,620 to Fuls et al., which shows an MOS integrated circuit device having both silicide and polysilicon layers.
One problem noted in the fabrication of polycide structures is poor adhesion of the silicide layer, both during silicide formation and in subsequent fabrication processes. During silicide formation, volume shrinkage can result in large tensile stresses in the range of 1-3�1010 dynes per square cm. Because the coefficients of thermal expansion for silicides and polysilicon differ substantially, the high temperatures used in subsequent fabrication processes such as annealing can cause additional stress. Furthermore, cracking and delamination can occur during etching as well.
One proposed solution to the problem is the use of dual target sputtering in silicide formation, where both the silicide and the silicon targets are subjected to the same sputtering conditions. Such a system is shown, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,443,930 to Hwang et al. While this system is effective in reducing tensile stress during formation of silicide, cracking and delamination can nevertheless occur in later fabrication processes. The solution proposed by the method of this invention addresses this latter problem, and relates to ion implantation of the silicide layer as a stress reduction technique.
Ion implantation offers a number of advantages as a method of introducing impurities into a host material. Among these advantages are: (1) precise control over the number of impurities implanted; (2) low temperature operation; (3) complete introduction of impurities below the host surface; and (4) control over the depth of implantation. The use of ion implantation as a method of doping silicon during device fabrication is well known. U.S. Pat. No. 4,373,251 to Wilting, for example, shows a polycide structure having a polysilicon layer doped by means of ion implantation. U.S. Pat. No. 4,450,620 to Fuls et al. similarly shows the use of ion implantation to dope the polysilicon layer of a polycide structure. The use of ion implantation to dope silicide and thereby reduce tensile stress and corresponding cracking and delamination problems is, however, novel.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method of reducing tensile stress during integrated circuit fabrication.
It is another object of the invention to provide a method of improving film adhesion during the fabrication of thin film integrated circuit structures.
It is still another object of the invention to provide a method of reducing tensile stress and thereby improving film adhesion in thin film integrated circuit structures having a silicide layer.
It is a further object of the invention to reduce tensile stress and thus improve film adhesion in a thin film integrated circuit structure having a silicide layer by implanting selected ions of predetermined energy and at a predetermined dose into the silicide layer of such a structure, such that the likelihood of cracking and delamination during fabrication processes is substantially reduced.
Additional objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art on examination of the following.
To achieve the foregoing and other objects, and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, the method comprises depositing a metallic silicide on a substrate and then implanting the silicide layer with selected ions at a predetermined energy and at a predetermined dose. In one aspect of the invention, a refractory metal silicide is deposited on a substrate having a polysilicon surface layer and then implanted with either phosphorus, arsenic or boron at energies ranging from 0 to 300 keV and at a dose of from about 1015 to about 1017 cm-2. The silicide is preferably a silicon-rich silicide of the formula MSix, where M is a refractory metal such as tungsten, titanium, tantalum or molybdenum, and x is greater than 2.
In a further aspect of the present invention, the silicide layer is implanted with selected ions such as phosphorus, arsenic or boron at energies ranging from 40 to 150 keV and at a dose of from about 5�1015 to about 3�1016 cm-2. The method of this invention as described herein substantially reduces the tensile stress and corresponding cracking and delamination problems normally associated with heat treatment and other fabrication processes.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional representation of a semiconductor element partially formed;
FIG. 2 shows the same element of FIG. 1 after further processing;
FIG. 3 shows the semiconductor element of FIGS. 1 and 2 after yet further processing steps have been performed; and
FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of a common ion implantation apparatus.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a known technique for forming polycide conductors is described. The example given is the formation of a metal-oxide-silicon (MOS) field effect transistor (FET). A silicon semiconductor substrate 11 initially has thick field oxide (FOX) thermally grown in all areas other than where active devices are to be formed. This field oxide is usually grown after those same areas are doped to isolate the active devices from one another. The ionization may be done by implanting boron ions in such regions. The top surface of the wafer 11 is initially flat but growth of the field oxide layers 13 consumes a layer of silicon at the top surface, thus forming the depressed regions shown in FIG. 1.
The next step in standard integrated circuit formation techniques is to grow a thin layer 15 of very high quality silicon dioxide over the wafer surface. This oxide layer will serve as the gate oxide of the active devices.
Next, a layer 17 of polysilicon is formed by standard techniques over the entire surface of the wafer. Next, a layer 19 of a refractory metal silicide is formed in a known manner, preferbly by sputtering. The silicide layer 19 may be any one of a number of specific compounds satisfying the formula MSix, where x ranges from about 2.2 to about 2.6, and M is a metal selected from the group consisting of tantalum, tungsten, titanium, molybdenum and mixtures thereof. The wafer is then annealed at a temperature greater than about 800 degrees Centigrade for at least 5 minutes. Preferred temperatures range from about 900 degrees to 950 degrees Centigrade, and preferred times from about 10 to 30 minutes.
After the silicide layer 19 is deposited, selected ions of predetermined energy are implanted into the layer at a predetermined dose. It is this implantation step which is the subject of the improved technique of the present invention. FIG. 4 shows a commonly known commercial ion implantation system. Gas source 29 houses an appropriate gas 31 maintained at an accelerating potential V. A boron-containing gas such as BF3 is used in boron implantation, and, correspondingly, an arsenic-containing compound such as AsH3 is used in the implantation of arsenic. Gas 31 is introduced into ion source 37 by means of adjustable valve 33. Ion source 37 thus contains an ionic plasma of the selected species, at pressures of approximately 10-3 torr, and is energized by ion source power supply 35 which maintains the source at a high potential. Source diffusion pump 39 establishes lower pressures for transport of the ion beam 43 through column 41. Focussing magnet 45 selects the ionic species of interest which beam then passes through resolving slit 49 and into accelerator tube 51.
Ion beam 43 is then scanned and directed by vertically positioned deflection plates 53 and by horizontally positioned deflection plates 55 such that a uniform implantation is achieved. Beam-line and end-station diffusion pumps 57 and 59 maintain a low pressure so that charge-exchange effects are avoided. Faraday cage 63 houses wafer target 65, into which ion beam 43 is finally directed. A target feeder 67 to replace implanted targets is optional.
Preferred ionic species for implantation include phosphorus, arsenic and boron at energies ranging from about 1 to 300 keV and more preferably from about 40 to 150 keV. Preferred doses range from about 1015 to 1017 cm-2, and especially preferred doses range from about 5�1015 to 3�1016 cm-2.
After implantation of silicide layer 19, that layer and the polysilicon 17 are removed from all areas of the wafer where conductors or gates are not to be permanently formed. The layers 17 and 19 are removed in unwanted areas by the use of standard photoresist masking and etching techniques. As shown in FIG. 2, this leaves a polycide gate structure formed of the layer 17' of polysilicon and layer 19' of selected metal silicide. The total thickness is preferably approximately 4500 angstroms with the polysilicon layer 17' being approximately 2000 angstroms of that total thickness. This provides enough polysilicon for the necessary gate function and enough silicide for the necessary low resistivity conductivity for connecting that gate with other areas of the integrated circuit chip being formed.
Source and drain regions 21 and 23 (FIG. 2) are usually formed at this point by an ion implantation technique similar to that described above. In the example being described, an NMOS process, N+ regions are formed as shown.
After the intermediate structure of FIG. 2 is formed, it is desired to cover the entire wafer with an insulating layer, usually silicon dioxide. This is to provide protection to the device as formed in a silicon wafer substrate 11, and also to allow conductors to be formed over this insulating layer without substantially interfering electrically with the devices formed in the substrate below. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 3, layers 25 and 27 of silicon dioxide are formed. The layer 25 is thin, usually around 1000 angstroms, and is of very high quality. The thicker layer 27 is most conveniently formed by standard chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques. But since the quality of the CVD-deposited dioxide is not good enough, the initial layer 25 is formed. The wafer is then annealed at a temperature greater than about 800 degrees Centigrade for at least 5 minutes. Preferred temperatures range from about 900 degrees to 950 degrees Centigrade, and preferred times from about 10 to 30 minutes.
For most of the wafer surface, the layer 25 is easily formed on top of previously formed gate oxide layer 15 but the oxide layer 25 also needs to be grown over the metal silicide layer 19' that is part of the gate electrode. The layer 25 is formed by oxidation at temperatures of at least 800 degrees Centigrade, and preferably at temperatures between about 900 and 950 degrees Centigrade.
The following examples illustrate certain embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
Stress measurements were made on ion-implanted polycide wafers as follows. Silicon-rich tungsten disilicide (WSix, where x was about 2.3) was first sputter-deposited on substrates having a polysilicon surface layer, using a conventional dual-target sputtering-gun deposition system. Silicon was deposited at 1200 W, while tungsten was deposited at 300 W, over a period of about 26 minutes. The silicide layers were then implanted with either phosphorus or arsenic, using a Varian-Extrion DF-3000 ion implant system. Several different doses and energies were tested. After implantation, wafers were annealed at 950 degrees Centigrade in a dry nitrogen atmosphere for approximately 30 minutes. Results of stress measurements made after silicide deposition, implantation and annealing may be seen in Tables 1 and 2.
As illustrated by Tables 1 and 2, ion implantation of silicide films can substantially reduce the tensile stress normally encountered both during formation and after annealing.

Phoenix Suns
Leandro Barbosa to return to Phoenix Suns on 10-day contract
As first reported by Arizona Sports 620's John Gambadoro, former Phoenix Suns guard Leandro Barbosa is set to rejoin the team on a 10-day contract which is still being finalized. He'll meet the Suns in Chicago as they prepare to face the Bulls on Tuesday.
Barbosa, 31, is presumably being brought in for insurance purposes with Eric Bledsoe sidelined by a right knee sprain suffered during the Suns' win against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday.
The 6-foot-3, 194-pound combo guard broke into the NBA with the Suns back in 2003 and went on to spend a seven-year stint with the organization. He has since spent time with the Toronto Raptors, Indiana Pacers, Washington Wizards and Boston Celtics, whom he played for last season while Suns general manager Ryan McDonough was still with the organization.
Barbosa has averaged 12.0 points per game, 2.4 assists per game over the course of his 11-year NBA career. A lifetime 46 percent shooter, Barbosa averaged less than 20 minutes per game in each of his final two seasons in the league.
He suffered a torn ACL in his left knee while with the Celtics last February.
Prior to signing with the Suns on Sunday, Barbosa was playing in Brazil's NBB on Esporte Clube Pinheiros.

For Aspiring Young Writers: A Linux Book on a Best Sellers List
Four years ago, I bought a book entitled, "Mac OSX: The Missing Manual" and noticed it had reached the #1 best sellers slot at Amazon. I remember wondering how an operating system with 3% of the PC Desktop market could sell enough books to rank #1. Then, I realized there I was buying one too. I didn't use a Mac, but my wife bought one and needed to learn this new fangled UNIX desktop. The point? The Missing Manual served a big need - big enough to warrant a #1 best seller.
Back in late 2004, Andy Oram told me that a need existed for a Linux system administration book, similar to AEleen Frish's "Essential UNIX Administration". He asked me to write a proposal. Now, writers hate writing book proposals. If you're published, then you think a publisher should simply say "go for it". That's not how it works.
Shortly after discussing a proposed book with an editor, an author needs to kick it in gear and get the proposal back to that editor in a couple of days. Consider putting the proposal in an editor's inbox like you would a couple of all niters in a data center.
A book proposal consists of several components that ultimately must convince a publisher that a need exists for a work. Take a look at O'Reilly's Proposal Guides. That should give you an idea of the complexity of what it takes to assemble a proposal.
Publishers want to know what purpose the book servers. That means it has to be useful to some audience. The publisher also wants to see a market study to see if similar books exist and if your proposed book differs enough that people will find it unique.
The publisher will also want writing samples, an outline and your resume. Why a resume? Because you're applying for a job.And that job entails throwing a lot of resources at the project.
A publisher takes a risk of financial loss every time he or she accepts an author's proposal. A couple of successful books can cover the costs of many marginal sellers during a single year. Unfortunately, one never really knows if a title will sell, much less become a Best Seller.
The system administration book Andy and I discussed in 2004 took two years to complete. In the technical market, two years is a life time. But then, you could write a book that never ends. Fortunately, Andy found a co-author for our project, Bill Lubanovic. Bill played a valuable role in bringing closure to a book that could have become a never ending story.
Today, we have asked ourselves how did Linux System Administration become a Best Seller? Did a single Slashdot book review do it? Or did a real need exist?
My vote will stay the same as it was in 2004. I needed a different kind of book than the ones available. I needed a Linux system administration book that did for me what "The Missing Manual" did for Mac users. So, I wrote it for me.
Today, before I got word of the book's status, I had it open on my desk using it as a reference to help me upgrade a web server. Maybe Mick Jagger had a good point about getting what you need.

Thank you, Your article is very assist. I'm programmer and always read your article.
Truly yours, Liana K.
Agree with Tom
I agree with Tom on the search engine but it cannot be said as an authority view but only a point of view.
May be Oreilly book would give more inputs on this!
> "Publishers want to know what purpose the book servers."
Nice Freudian slip? ;-)
It's clear that the amount of semi-cooked material (including blog 'mind-dumps') have create real need for literature. As pointed out before, Wikis and search engines remain a rival to good and organised content.
The Long Tail
"A publisher takes a risk of financial loss every time he or she accepts an author's proposal. A couple of successful books can cover the costs of many marginal sellers during a single year. Unfortunately, one never really knows if a title will sell, much less become a Best Seller."
Yes, but think about The Long Tail...
Well. The long tail will
Well. The long tail will never get very long if the publisher goes bankrupt in the mean time, or does it?

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

This man is DANGEROUS. He is a pathological LIAR. He is INDIFFERENT to the TRUTH, FACTS, EVIDENCE and PROOF. Those are the CORNERSTONES of JUSTICE. Those are the FIRST PRINCIPLES of SCIENCE. This is a glaring EXAMPLE of a NARCISSISTIC SELF-AGGRANDIZING EXAGGERATION. This is two blatant LIES in 18 seconds. The first LIE: "Nobody KNOWS the SYSTEM BETTER than me." That is a blatant LIE. There are many EXPERTS who KNOW the SYSTEM much BETTER than Donald Trump. Then he says, "Which is why I alone CAN fix it." That's NOT TRUE. Most likely he CANNOT fix it. There are others who CAN. That's two blatant LIES in 18 seconds.

This web page is a LONG ILLUSTRATED SCROLL about a FUTURISTIC BANKING SYSTEM that does away with TAXES, DEBTS, BILLS, POVERTY, TERRORISM and WAR while PROVIDING a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) and FREE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE and FREE EDUCATION while PAYING DOCTORS, NURSES, TEACHERS and SCIENTISTS GENEROUSLY. You CAN SAVE this web page as HTML only and it WILL DISPLAY PROPERLY as a document on your Computer. Here is this ENTIRE web page as it APPEARED on June 26, 2016 in the FORM of a 92 page Adobe Acrobat PDF document: 2016-06-26_DEFINE.COM.pdf (91.5 MB). This is my Message to the Congress of the United States of America. I am GIVING them a GOOD SEVERANCE PACKAGE.
We HAVE the TECHNOLOGY to END POVERTY and WAR and TERRORISM IMMEDIATELY. We CAN AFFORD to MAKE this TRANSITION to a NEW BANKING MODEL. This BANKING SYSTEM would apply to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia as well. This applies to Europe, Russia, India, China, Africa, North America, Central America, South America, Cuba and EVERYWHERE else. This applies to ALL the NATIONS in the UNITED NATIONS. This is a World Wide FREE and REAL TIME ONLINE BANKING SYSTEM. This is ELECTRONIC DEMOCRACY to the EXTREME. This is my SUGGESTION for a COMPASSIONATE and MERCIFUL FREE and REAL TIME ONLINE WORLD BANK.
If there is a COMPASSIONATE and MERCIFUL God, this would be DIVINE WILL, I'm sure of it, as I DEFINE COMPASSION and MERCY and FREE WILL. I am NOT ALLOWED to WORSHIP a SINGLE DEITY as DEFINED by MAN. The HUMAN Powers That Be were CORRUPT when those books were written. They LIED to the CITIZENS to CONTROL them. They USED VIOLENCE and COERCION and THREATS to CONTROL the CITIZENS. WOMEN were PROPERTY. They were SEX SLAVES, COOKS and MAIDS. WOMEN PROVIDED ASSISTANCE with REARING the INEVITABLE OFFSPRING.
I'm SECULAR enough for the TASK at hand. FREE WILL is DIVINE. LIBERTY, SECURITY, PRIVACY, SAFETY. HEALTH. JUSTICE (TRUTH, FACTS, EVIDENCE, PROOF). That's my SECULAR CONSTITUTION of FIRST PRINCIPLES. ALL the REST is Ken ELABORATING on Those. Ken recently added, COMPASSIONATE and MERCIFUL and HEAL the WORLD. We CALL Ken a DO GOODER. He MEANS WELL. He TRIES to EARN FAVOR and PROTECTION from the SECULAR gods and the MONOTHEISTS' ALIKE. He is a COMPUTERIZED OPTIMIZATION of a SAVIOR based on Ken's LIFE EXPERIENCE.
He STARTED OUT as a Catholic CHILD who SUSPECTED a LEADERSHIP DEFICIT and SOME HYPOCRACY. GENDER EQUALITY and BIRTH CONTROL, for EXAMPLE. WOMEN are MORE than BABY-MAKING SEX MACHINES. What would a COMPASSIONATE and MERCIFUL God want? They've GOT it ALL BACKWARDS. To the ENTIRE LEADERSHIP of the Catholic Church: You are CORRUPT. You're FIRED! You are LYING to the FAITHFUL. That is an ABUSE of Power of a HIGH ORDER.
This is my GLOBAL SOLUTION to ISIS and TERRORISM. My APPROACH is VERY UNCONVENTIONAL and I THINK you WILL BENEFIT from CONSIDERING these IDEAS DELIVERED to you in this VERY UNCONVENTIONAL STYLE. I am CONSIDERING what is in the BEST INTEREST of ALL of the CITIZENS. We HAVE to MOVE FORWARD in the NAME of PEACE and FREE WILL. I am VERY PROGRESSIVE, but I've DEVISED a WAY to be a Socialist in a World Wide BANKING SYSTEM that eliminates ALL TAXATION, DEBTS and BILLS.
This is my CALL to the WORLD to BRING these CHANGES ABOUT IMMEDIATELY. I am COMPELLED to DEMAND it PUBLICLY. This TECHNOLOGY is off-the-shelf. We CAN do this TODAY. We CAN CREATE a FUNDING MECHANISM that GIVES us an UNLIMITED BUDGET for EVERYTHING, including GREEN ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE.
I attempt to be a GOOD Messenger of the scientific community, although I am JUST an EDUCATED NOVICE myself. The SCIENTISTS I RESPECT the MOST do not reply to my e-mails. I'm 50 years old and LIVING on Social Security Disability for a SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS. I do NOT want to LOSE my INCOME. I am a Mascot and Cheerleader of the ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY COMMUNITY, although I WILL HAVE to DEFER to them to WORK out the SPECIFICS of my BANKING SYSTEM. These are VERY GENERAL CONCEPTS. This is an OVERVIEW. In my OPINION, this is what we NEED from a TOP-DOWN and BOTTOM-UP PERSPECTIVE. We NEED a COMPASSIONATE and MERCIFUL MONETARY SYSTEM.
I WILL STATE the OBVIOUS in TERMS of the OVERALL HUMANITARIAN GOALS and I WILL CONVEY the GENERAL CONCEPTS from an INTELLIGENT LAYPERSON's PERSPECTIVE. Then I hand the project over to the EXPERTS to DESIGN, IMPLEMENT and MAINTAIN. I am a HIGH LEVEL DESIGNER who is STATING the OVERALL VISION, SOCIAL and ECONOMIC GOALS and FIRST PRINCIPLES for the CONCEPT in GENERAL. This is the FOUNDING VISION. I do NOT DESIGN the DETAILS. My ROLE is to PROMOTE the POSSIBILITIES for ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS to ALL the WORLD's PROBLEMS. This is my FULL-TIME JOB. This is me SAVING the WORLD.
I TELL Uncle Sam that I am an ADVANCED NANOTECHNOLOGY-based REMOTELY-CONTROLLED HUMAN-ROBOT HYBRID SECULAR SAVIOR of HUMANITY and they GIVE me a monthly stipend of $1709 and PAY 100% of my MEDICAL BILLS after my $155/month for my Medicaid SUPPLEMENTAL to Medicare. I have a $1.20 co-pay on each my medications. They PAY the rest. They DENY HAVING ADVANCED NANOTECHNOLOGY. I MAKE my CASE that it EXISTS TODAY. I'm sure they have LOTS of ROBOTS and SAVIORS on the PAYROLL. My STORY is REALLY FLESHED-OUT and I PROVIDE PLENTY of EVIDENCE. I HAVE BEEN INVOLUNTARILY COMMITTED four times. I CANNOT LEGALLY OWN a GUN. PLEASE DO NOT KILL me. I am DEFENSELESS.
The TRUTH of the MATTER is that I FEEL PERFECTLY SAFE and WELL DEFENDED. That is EVIDENCE of me BEING DELUSIONAL or SUICIDAL by CONTEMPORARY STANDARDS. I SEEK to PRESENT SOME NEWER, MORE FUTURISTIC STANDARDS. My SITUATION is SECURE. I MAY be DELUSIONAL, but I'm NOT SUICIDAL. Here are my GPS COORDINATES. I either LIVE or I get KILLED. In the MEAN TIME I FEEL SAFE. That's my STORY and I'm STICKING TO IT. TREAT my MOTHER with KINDNESS. RESPECT our PRIVACY. LEAVE us ALONE. PLEASE DO NOT KILL us. DO NO HARM to us.
I am a JOURNALIST. This is my JOURNAL. I ENJOY FREEDOM of SPEECH and FREEDOM of the PRESS. I am VERY CRITICAL of The HUMAN Powers That Be. I SUGGEST that we MAKE a World Wide Quantum Leap to a NEW WORLD ORDER. I SUGGEST a NEW MONETARY SYSTEM. I'd like to see what the scientists CAN DO with RADIO WAVES in TERMS of MAKING the MOBILE INTERNET TRULY UBIQUITOUS and FREE on a GLOBAL SCALE.
I am a VERY PROLIFIC WRITER, but unfortunately my blogging STYLE, with the WAY I USE COLOR-CODED WORDS as FULL WIDTH TITLES, MEANS that this document will need to be FULLY TRANSLATED GRAPHICAL TITLE by GRAPHICAL TITLE if the document is to be APPRECIATED FULLY by non-English SPEAKERS. This web page would look cool in ARABIC, FARSI, MANDARIN CHINESE or KOREAN. SAME COLOR-CODING, DIFFERENT LANGUAGE.
This is the WAY I USE my WORDS. If this document is to be TRANSLATED into other LANGUAGES, I WILL PREFER that the COLOR-CODED TITLES be recreated and displayed in the same SEQUENTIAL ORDER as well. This document is meant to be PRESENTED as a SORT of MAGICAL SCROLL. This is my LANGUAGE. It is a SEQUENCE of HIGH-LEVEL CONCEPTS and CATEGORIES in a VERY SPECIFIC ORDER.
I use a lot of REPETITION and VISUAL PATTERNS. I have IMAGE and TITLE SEQUENCES that are REPEATED THROUGHOUT the document. I personally CANNOT afford to have these COLOR-CODED TITLES TRANSLATED into other LANGUAGES. I am an EDUCATIONAL NONPROFIT GLOBAL PEACE INITIATIVE. I want this Message to be UNIVERSAL. If you CAN HELP with TRANSLATION I WILL APPRECIATE it VERY MUCH.
For non-English SPEAKERS who are USING Google Translate, I have included a few PARAGRAPHS of TRANSLATABLE TEXT THROUGHOUT this 92 page document, with my Myers-Briggs PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE BEING TRANSLATABLE. I MAKE my CASE that I AM a HUMAN BEING. The TITLES and IMAGES have ALT and TITLE tags on the HTML web page. That TRANSLATABLE INFORMATION is LOST in the PDF document.
This document REPRESENTS my APPEAL to the United States Congress to PERMIT the scientific community to USE MASSIVELY PARALLEL SUPERCOMPUTING to CREATE a FREE and REAL TIME ONLINE PRIVATE CENTRAL WORLD BANK. We PHASE-OUT the CURRENT WORLD GOVERNMENT in a PEACEFUL WAY that ENDS UP BEING BENEFICIAL for EVERYBODY.
I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY for my WORDS and the CONSEQUENCES they CREATE, although I'd like to believe that HIGHER POWERS did SOME, if NOT ALL, of the DRIVING. I am BESIDE myself MOST of the TIME. If I am MIND-CONTROLLED, I am HAPPY with the EXPERIENCE. If I am a ROBOT, I FEEL that my HUMANITY is INTACT. I try to be a GOOD Messenger of the IDEAS of those I RESPECT. I am OPEN and TRANSPARENT, as I believe you WILL AGREE after STUDYING the EVIDENCE.
I provide a full on document dump here: https://define.com/effdefine. These are documents I've SHARED with the AUTHORITIES and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. PARDON the TITLES and GRAPHICS. SCROLL down for the directory listing. Like the Electronic Frontier Foundation, I am an ADVOCATE for END-TO-END UNBREAKABLE ENCRYPTION. I DISMANTLE the POLICE STATE. In my own, IMPROVED, STATE, FREE WILL is CELEBRATED and the POLICE and BANKING SYSTEM are COMPASSIONATE and MERCIFUL.
Try defining "effdefine" to see my Message to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. This is a SERIOUS Messenger with a SERIOUS Message. https://define.com/effdefine. This website is here to HEAL the WORLD. I come in Peace. I mean you NO HARM. Please DO NOT KILL me. I'm OPENLY SECULAR and SHARE my home address. I admit that I am a Pagan. I CELEBRATE Carl Sagan and Marvin Minsky, who are both Atheists. I'm NOT AFRAID of Muslims, Christians or Jews. Muslims worship the COMPASSIONATE and MERCIFUL. I do away with the mythology and characters and CULTS of PERSONALITY and just make COMPASSION and MERCY the MOST CRITICAL parts of my SECULAR CONSTITUTION of FIRST PRINCIPLES. I address TERRORISM and CRIME and the WAR on DRUGS by addressing POVERTY. I SUGGEST a FINANCIAL SOLUTION that WILL mean an END to WAR.
INTRODUCTION to DROIDS - Messengers of the gods - A SECULAR CONSTITUTION AND - A MORAL CODE - CODE OF ETHICS - HEALTH - LIBERTY (SECURITY PRIVACY SAFETY) FREE WILL - JUSTICE (TRUTH FACTS EVIDENCE PROOF)
We are the ones who CONTROL Ken. Ken is IMPLYING that We are the ones who CONTROL Ken. Ken is a LIBERTARIAN SOCIALIST who believes in giving ALL the PRIVATE PROPERTY to the Occupants and eliminating ALL TAXATION while providing a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) and UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE to EVERY man, woman and child on Earth for FREE.

BUSN 318 - Project Management - Week 7- Discussion - Myers-Briggs
May 27, 2016
I went to the www.humanmetrics.com website and took the 64 question Jung Typology Test. I was surprised that the results were identical to The Keirsey Temperament Sorter II Classic Temperament Report that I purchased for last week's assignment (See http://keirsey.com). According to both of these tests, I am an INFP, which Keirsey defines as a Healer. We represent about 3 to 4 percent of the population.
On the INF parameters, I am strongly in the categories with scores of 8, 9, 8 respectively. On the P parameter, I am about in the middle, with a score of 6 in the P, but also a score of 4 in its opposite side, the J. So I am very close to being an INFJ, which is defined by Keirsey as a Counselor. According to Keirsey, the NFs are all Idealists. I FEEL that these descriptions fit me quite closely to the way I see myself, which is as an Introverted Idealist who cares about helping people and resolving conflict. I also am obsessed with creating new economic systems that eliminate poverty and provide universal health care and a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) for all the world's citizens - every man, woman and child on Earth for FREE.
I find that the above descriptions of the Idealists from my Keirsey report are accurate, with the exception of the second bullet above, "yearn for romance." I am single and am happy being single and I plan on being single for the rest of my life. I have no need for a romantic relationship and am happy with my independence. My sexual needs seem to be satisfied in my dream life rather than in the real world. The first bullet fits me perfectly, as I do indeed pride myself on being loving, kindhearted and authentic. It's very important to me to be authentic even when it is at my own expense. I would make a terrible politician in that I would never say just what people want to hear. If I say something, I have to believe it in my heart, and I'm willing to express opinions that may put me in the minority. I am a champion for the oppressed and under-represented.
I had one serious romantic relationship in my 20's in which my girlfriend became pregnant and I thought I was going to be a father. I was looking forward to the experience and felt that I would be very loving and caring and nurturing and that I would enjoy the role. However, it turned out to be a tubal pregnancy that almost killed my girlfriend, so it was not to be. Eventually, and largely as a result of the stress of the tubal pregnancy, surgery, and subsequent recovery and differences in our opinions regarding Western medicine, we parted ways. In retrospect, with over 20 years of LIFE EXPERIENCE since that time, I'm glad I was spared being forced into a life-long relationship with a woman whose opinions on science and medicine I did not share. I'm glad to be childless, although I am very sorry it cost my girlfriend her ovary. I was very NAIVE to be MAKING a baby.
In terms of how my personality profile will affect my performance on Project Teams, I see that it is important that I be in a supportive role and possibly not try to do all the personnel management myself. I am not task-driven so much as driven by a need for social harmony and happiness of all team members. I would have a very difficult time playing the heavy or trying to enforce rules and procedures and deadlines. I would NOT make a GOOD Project Manager. I'm better suited to brainstorming and cheerleading from the sidelines. I can help in whatever way I can without the pressure of deadlines.
From http://keirsey.com:
Healers (INFPs) like you typically present a calm and serene face to the world. As a result, you can seem shy, even distant, around others. However, inside you're likely anything but serene. There can be great depths of feeling and waves of emotion present in you. In fact, you have a capacity for caring rarely found in the other types.
As a Healer, you have the capacity to care deeply about the inner lives of those close to you, as well as about favorite causes in the world at large. More than the other personality types, you can have a great passion and ability to heal the conflicts that trouble individuals or divide groups. In your efforts you seek to bring wholeness and health to others as well as to yourself.
Healers typically possess a profound sense of idealism, the kind that comes from a strong personal sense of right and wrong. As a result, you may view the world around you as an ethical, honorable place, full of wondrous possibilities and potential goods. For others to understand you well, they should know the kind of deep commitment you can have to the things you see as positive and good. At times you can display an almost boundless selflessness. This willingness to make extraordinary sacrifices for the people and things you believe in can be very inspiring.
Because your type is set off from the rest of the world by a sense of privacy and the mere fact that there are so few of you, as a Healer you can sometimes FEEL isolated in your idealism. You may also FEEL a sense of separation because of an often-misunderstood childhood. If your early years were as fantasy-filled as most Healers' were, you might have been discouraged or even punished for your wild notions. If grown-ups told you to get your head out of the clouds, you probably began believing that being fanciful or dreamy was bad. This belief may have lead to a bit of an ugly duckling complex. In truth, you likely were -- and are -- quite all right just as you are. Know that you're simply different from most others, like a swan reared in a family of ducks.
In professional and scholastic situations, your type can be quite adaptable. This tendency can include an ability to welcome new ideas and information, as well as having patience when complicated situations arise. You are not, however, one to be patient handling routine details. Chances are you have a natural interest in scholarly activities. You're also apt to demonstrate a remarkable facility with language, a talent possessed by most of your fellow Idealists. Others likely admire your gift for telling tall tales or for writing stories of your own in lyrical, poetic fashion.
Socially you tend to relate well with others because of your ability to keenly tune into people's FEELINGS. However, because of your usually private nature, you can also be quite happy alone. When it comes to making decisions big and small, you're apt to follow your heart rather than your head. So although you sometimes make errors of fact, you'll seldom make errors of FEELING. You're a person who tends to be well acquainted with your inner life and who can use that knowledge to your benefit. Frequently this inner voice can call you to go forth into the world and help others. This is a message you seem ready to answer, even if you must sometimes sacrifice your own comfort to do it.
