251,000 State Department documents, many of them secret embassy reports from around the world, show how the US seeks to safeguard its influence around the world. It is nothing short of a political meltdown for US foreign policy.
(Excerpt) Read more at spiegel.de ...
Agreed. And I don't believe for a second that Bradley Manning leaked all of this information by himself.
Aren't we lucky?
This is what you get when you choose emotion over substance and DEMONSTRATED character and experience!!
Where will this "O" fiasco leave us?
I wonder how the Media is going to run and help their wonder boy Obama now? Somehow they will make this all about Bush..... I am already hearing snippets about how this is caused because Bush made all the departments share information after 911... .This will be the lefts excuse mark my words...
If republicans fail to hold Obama accountable over this then they will become the whipping boys for it.
I think.... well, I can't say what I actually think... but it involves:
Gay tiff
Soon to meet an untimely end
maybe three months
heart attack?
car accident?
drug overdose?
okay, probably less than three months...10 days?
Anyone want to start a pool?
I feel so much better knowing these people run our country. :(:(:(:(:(:(
This is Smart Diplomacy at its best.
Someone on another website said that in Holland, they are saying that a US soldier leaked the info. I can't imagine that a US soldier would have that high a security clearance, but I was curious. So I went online to read news in the Netherlands.
Although this has nothing to do with wikileaks, and it's over two years old, I certainly found it interesting and scary!
Radical Imam Works for Defence Ministry
THE HAGUE, 23/05/08 - A radical Islamic preacher has been hired by the government as a computer expert. Jamal A., alias Abu Ismail, thus gained access to the ICT network of the defence ministry, De Telegraaf reported yesterday.
The preacher is associated with the As-Soennah mosque in The Hague. He serves as right-hand man to its controversial Syrian Imam Jneid Fawaz who cursed filmmaker Theo van Gogh shortly before he was assassinated in November 2004.
Abu Ismail has confirmed that he regularly carries out work for various government organisations on a temporary basis, according to De Telegraaf. "I have worked not just for Defence, but also for other government institutions."
His work for the computer centre of Defence is said to have led to an investigation by the Military Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD), after which the preacher was removed, the newspaper reported.
Yep. How much time do you give the other guy?
I fully believe that Obama wants all this "leaked" whether he publicly admits it or not because the outcome is the diminishment of the United States stauture and a move to a one-world order of business.
Note, I'll believe that wikileaks is impartial when they leak out Obama's long form birth certificate, his college records, and his original manuscript for his book.
Imagine if someone leaked Putin's or Hu's secret documents. Or Chavez's for that matter. He wouldn't do it twice, for sure.
Can't prove it, but my gut feeling is that 0bama did this, like Clinton declassified all the nuke bomb secrets. Somehow someone way up in the power tree thinks this is a good idea.
Exactly what I was thinking. How come there are no Russian cables here? Or Iranian-based cables, or some other thug regime?
Not until you explain wth you're talking about.
Fail, after fail, after MEGA-FAIL! on Obama's watch.
This President has been a disaster for this nation.
"How come there are no Russian cables here?"
Vladmir would investigate the disappearance of the perp personally, and would express deep regret, like when the entire conservative wing of the Polish government went down in an airplane.
Same for Iranian secret documents.
Anybody knows you don't mess with a superpower, and would not be looking at a jail term if caught. Or trial, for that matter.
It will be interesting to see how old this info is - it could be stuff from the Bush years and not recent items. Either way, somehow the folks that disclose this kind of stuff should be gone after and stopped.
Don't you have to actually have a foreign policy to have it exposed?
How long do you think that the people who released this information will survive?
Until their natural deaths.
and what has their survival rate to do with a 'gay tiff' that you mentioned?
I'm in.
I'll take (Apparent)suicide in 90 days.
Because Wikileaks only had one source (Manning, an American).
do your own research
good choice.
Nope, if you can't explain your own post, I'm not going to try and figure out your thought process. Have a good day, though.
Someone here just suggested that it is telling that it is the STATE DEPARTMENT that is in meltdown. Prolly lots of dirt on Hillary! in there. This could very well remove that man's challenge from the left. It is right out of his senate campaign play book.
"How does a government allow secret docuements to be posted on the internet?
It hasn't been that long ago that someone would have been tried for treason and shot for such an offense."
Allow is the key word, I think. This took some work and coordination to pull off.
This isn't the Clinton WH and I think that the F.O.B. (Friend's Of Bill) operators that shuffled over 110 souls off the planet are sitting this one out. They don't want Obozo to succeed and moreover, they know he and his cohorts are too stooooopid to get away with this stuff for very long. When the fall happens, the accompanying FALL OUT is going to be long, wet and smelly. Nobody who knows what they're doing is going to want to be anywhere near this idiot when the lids start getting ripped off. It's kind of like the reason they called the old WWII Flattops (aircraft carriers) "Bomb Magnets."
> Look at all these wonderful diplomatic, and statecraft achievements on the O watch!!!
We should go to the Wikipedia and create an article named "List of the Obama administration's foreign policy achievements", and leave it completely blank. In fact, if this comes out clickable;
that will do it.
Long enough to get a book deal
Has anyone seen any info that we DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW?
"It is nothing short of a political meltdown for US foreign policy."
This could be a very true statement, however to whatever extent it is true (political meltdown) it will be due to how little foreign governments and foreign diplomats will trust that their dealings with the U.S. government will be secure, trusted, and held in the most strict confidentially - an atmosphere that invites diplomats to be more candid with each other than they can be publicly.
While publicly many will be upset about specific leaks, but more important to all of them is "how did the Obama admin allow this to happen in the first place".
I imagine, from hear on in, Billary will get little candid cooperation from all those nations the U.S. sheeple have been told our relations have so vastly improved with under BHO-Billary.
Apart from the political disaster aspect...
I have been reading some of the accounts of what has been leaked and I have to say I'm unhappy about any Iraqui or Afghani operatives that may have been uncovered but.....
As for the diplomatic dance of bullsh*t- I'm glad its over. The Saudis? HaHa, watch your tent bro, it'll be going up in smoke soon. All the European high nosed jerks? Now you know how even the U.S. leftist elite truly feel about you- Naked Emperors!
The funny thing is, to hear these dimmocrat foreign policy wonks talk in private, you'd think they were Republicans!
"The funny thing is, to hear these dimmocrat foreign policy wonks talk in private, youd think they were Republicans!"
They are just as much in the business of selling an appeasing side, in public, to foreigners - while they believe something else in private, as they are selling themselves to the domestic masses yearning for a new entitlement, while they insure the legislation for it greases enough of their own business, sectarian and political interests. The Dims are two faced in all they do because it's all about power while they pretend its about selfless "public service".
I wonder how many deals with foreigners for Billary will be scuttled by the leaks (Billary - the corrupt dynamic duo that peddles themselves - for some kind of compensation, now or later - as a single geopolitical influence selling enterprise).
I read somewhere on the internet earlier today or was it sunday, that Wikileaks consulted with THEWHITEHOUSE and OBAMA encouraged them not to release some records and yetWikkileaks released some records that Odumbo did not want leaked. ODUMBO is the source of all the leaks - it is part of his plan
I agree with that... the loons on the left have been trying to tear this country down for years.
It might not be the same guy, but I think you're on the right track.
I worked for the airlines prior to 9/11 (retired now).
The guys who worked for the onboard kitchens didn't speak English...the cleaners were also foreign...we had our suitcases and handbooks stolen from a "secured" area for months/years prior to 9/11.
Stolen items included our handbooks which contained layouts of planes, codes for every "secured" door in every city throughout the world, information where the cockpit keys were kept on every plane...
Made me sick to realize how easy it was to pull off the 9/11 attack after years of their planning..
And here the Netherlands employed a radical Muslim to work with defense information.
What is everyone thinking? ARGH!
Thanks for the ping!
That new diplomacy (Obama/Hillary Clinton) soft power isn't working out so they thought they would kick-start the re-set button since they have failed so miserably. By releasing the documents, this administration hopes to show the world how bad America is, and by the token show how noble this administration has been. Go figure, a win-win for those who hate America and they can enhance their political standing at the expense of their political opposition, e.g., the military and conservatives.
..."I cant imagine that a US soldier would have that high a security clearance, but I was curious."...

..."As a low-ranking intelligence analyst, he had access to a vast archive of sensitive documents on the military's classified computer network, SIPRnet or the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network.".....

JERUSALEM -- At a high school with a science experiment on the doomed Space Shuttle Columbia, tearful students covered desks with flowers and candles. In a Cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon declared astronaut Ilan Ramon a national hero. And across the country, flags flew at half-staff as the nation mourned its latest loss.
As Israelis spoke of the Columbia disaster, the recurring theme was a country beset by wrenching tragedies.
After 28 months of daily violence with the Palestinians, a depressed economy and the threat of being drawn into a war with Iraq, Israelis had been celebrating Ramon's journey as a testament to their achievements, blissfully free of tension and controversy.
Ramon, the 48-year-old son of a Holocaust survivor, was portrayed as a symbol of hope and rebirth for Jews, and he emphasized the theme repeatedly during his mission, including saying a Jewish prayer while flying over Jerusalem.
The shuttle broke apart Saturday, just minutes before it was to land, killing Ramon and his six American crewmates.
"We got another slap in the face, as a nation, in addition to the slap we get every day," said Gabi Moor, 39, a barber from northern Israel. His shop is next to a cafe damaged last year in one of nearly 90 Palestinian suicide bombings. "It's like there is a jinx on us."
"Dreams in Tatters" read the headline in the Maariv daily, above a full-page picture of the explosion and an inset showing a smiling, waving Ramon in his orange space suit. "Crying for Ilan," declared the Yediot Ahronot daily above a similar spread.
Ramon's loss was particularly stinging at the Ort technical high school in Kiryat Motzkin, a suburb of the northern port city of Haifa.
Six students had spent four years designing an experiment that Ramon took aboard -- a study of how near-zero gravity affects the growth of crystals. Students covered desks with black table cloths and photo collages showing Ramon and the students' work on the project. During breaks, many of the school's 1,500 students crowded around the exhibits.
At the weekly Cabinet meeting in Jerusalem, Sharon told ministers that Ramon's death was not in vain and more Israelis would fly in space.
The U.S. ambassador to Israel, Dan Kurtzer, sat next to Sharon at the Cabinet session, saying that "Americans and Israelis are brothers indeed, on Earth and in space."

Martin Scorsese Only Has a "Couple More" Films Left
Posted on Tuesday, December 10th, 2013 by Angie Han
Martin Scorsese's had a prolific career, giving us nearly two dozen narrative features in the past fifty years — and that's not even counting the various documentaries, shorts, TV episodes, and commercials he's also put out in that time. But now the iconic filmmaker's career may be nearing an end.
Speaking at the Marrakech Film Festival, Scorsese said that he only has a "couple more" movies left in him and that in fact, it's only thanks to his frequent star Leonardo DiCaprio that he's even kept going this long. Read his comments after the jump.

Big leap for literacy in schools
Literacy changes taking hold in schools recognize the subject's expansion from traditional textbooks to online readings, images and audio. New learning standards ask students to read more closely and write more analytically, meaning teachers must adapt curriculum to get students reading earlier.
Teachers report sharp growth in game-based learning
The use of game-based learning in the nation's classrooms has doubled over the past five years. In 2015, 48 percent of teachers said they use games in their lessons, making them the second-most common form of digital content consumed in the classroom.
Online course control in education
Let's face it, digital content—from the Khan Academy to streaming videos to adaptive learning applications—has enveloped K12 education. While some district leaders have only begun replacing printed learning materials with the new technology, other districts are going entirely digital.

A Princeton Tiger Designs An Atomic Bomb in a Physics Class
"I wanted it to be simple, inexpensive and easy to build," says Phillips, 21, the son of a Yale engineering professor. "The idea was not to use any classified information. I wanted to do it with what was available to the public."
Phillips spells out his design in a 40-page physics term paper. According to nuclear physicist Frank Chilton of Palo Alto, Calif., the Princeton student has overcome some of the major pitfalls in building a nuclear device. "He says it's 20 years behind the time," Phillips observes, "but still more sophisticated than the Hiroshima bomb." Phillips hasn't actually built the bomb, but it would be about the size of a beachball and weigh 125 pounds. It would cost about $152,000—of which roughly $150,000 is needed to buy the critical 15 pounds of plutonium necessary to make it explode (with one-half the force of the Hiroshima bomb). Plutonium is, however, for sale only to governments and properly accredited corporations and individuals. "The idea is that you steal it," says Phillips, who advocates stronger safeguards to prevent such thefts.
Page 20 of Phillips' research paper has been withheld from public view: It deals with the key problem of the type of high-explosive component needed to trigger the nuclear blast. Phillips figured out the answer with the aid of nuclear engineering textbooks and two U.S. government publications. Says Phillips: "It's very simple. Any undergraduate physics major could have done what I did." (Last year, for a TV show, an anonymous MIT student did design a low-yield A-bomb.)
Phillips is now working on his senior project, a crash-protection system for motorcyclists. He once rode a Honda 500 east from Berkeley, where he spent his first two college years. He will graduate in June with an engineering degree, and is applying for astronaut training. Right now he's looking forward to Princeton's Nov. 6 football game at Yale. The student who plays the Eli bulldog is Phillips' best friend. "We're going to get together and work out some crazy routines," says Phillips. "That's what I like best about being the tiger. You can do just about anything."

1. Technical Field
This invention relates to field effect circuit devices such as charge coupled devices and field effect transistors, and more particularly to a means for isolating several different levels of conductive lines.
One object of the present invention is to provide an improved isolation between two levels of polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon) material.
A more particular object of this invention is to provide improved isolation between the sidewall of a first polysilicon material and a subsequently deposited polysilicon material without unduly increasing the thickness of the gate oxide material under the second polysilicon material.
2. Background Art
It is well known in the prior art to fabricate field effect devices such as charge coupled devices and field effect transistors incorporating the use of several levels of conductors. It has become desireable to use polycrystalline silicon (also referred to as polysilicon) instead of metal for the conductive lines. For proper operation of the resultant field effect devices, it is necessary to insulate the two levels of polysilicon from each other. Particular problems have been occasioned by a failure of the insulator between a sidewall of the first polysilicon layer and the second polysilicon layer. In order to avoid defects, such as pin holes, and to avoid dielectric breakdown, it is known to increase the thickness of the insulator along the sidewall of the first polysilicon layer. By conventional techniques, however, this also increases the thickness of the gate insulator (usually gate oxide). Gate oxide is usually very thin and increasing its thickness has significant adverse affects on the performance of the resultant field effect devices.
In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross section of a semiconductor structure at an early stage in its processing.
FIG. 2 shows the structure after an etching operation.
FIG. 3 shows the structure after the formation of dielectric isolation zones.
FIG. 4 shows the structure at a further step in the processing.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged section of the structure of FIG. 4 after a selective etching step.
FIG. 6 shows the structure with a composite insulator thereon in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 7 shows the structure of FIG. 6 at a still further stage in the processing.
FIG. 8 shows the structure at an even further stage in the processing.
FIGS. 9-12 illustrate the formation of a one device memory cell in accordance with the present invention.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a portion of a semiconductor chip or wafer. A monocrystalline silicon substrate 10 supports the entire structure. Substrate 10 can be doped with either P or N type impurities depending on whether N or P channel field effect devices are desired to be fabricated. The substrate may also have formed therein other doped regions formed by either diffusion or ion implantation for specific applications such as charge coupled devices having buried channels, complementary field effect devices, etc. These details are not shown as they are conventional and well known and our invention is applicable generally regardless of the actual device configurations within the substrate.
The substrate 10 is covered with a layer 12, usually thermal silicon dioxide. Thermal silicon dioxide is formed by exposing the top surface of the silicon 10 to an oxygen containing vapor at an elevated temperature causing the silicon atoms to be converted to silicon dioxide. This thin thermal oxide is then covered by a layer of silicon nitride (Si3 N4). The silicon nitride layer 14 is covered, in turn, by a layer 16 of chemical vapor deposited (CVD) silicon dioxide. Layer 16 could also be deposited by sputtering, pyrolytic deposition, and other techniques in which the silicon dioxide molecules are formed prior to deposition.
The structure of FIG. 1 is then processed by standard photolithographic techniques to produce the structure of FIG. 2. Photoresist forms the mask for the first etching the CVD layer 16. The CVD oxide 16 then masks the etching of nitride 14 down to the thermal oxide layer 12. In an alternative process photoresist is applied directly to the nitride 14 and the nitride is etched by plasma techniques. The structure can then be dip etched removing the exposed portions of layer 12. During the dip etch process, a relatively insignificant portion (e.g. one third) of the layer 16 is also removed.
The structure illustrated in FIG. 2 is then oxidized to form desired oxide isolation zones. It is well known to form oxide isolation zones by a number of techniques. We prefer to oxidize the exposed portions of the substrate surface in FIG. 2 without any prior etching of the substrate. During this oxidation step, oxygen atoms penetrate exposed portions of the top surface of substrate 10 converting the silicon material in situ to silicon dioxide regions 18. This resultant silicon dioxide material penetrates into the substrate 10 and also grows outwardly. At the completion of this oxidation step, the removal of layers 16, 14, and 12, is accomplished by a dip etch down to the top surface of substrate 10. The removal of layer 12 is optional, but when it is removed, then a new gate oxide layer 20 is grown on the exposed surface of substrate 10 resulting in the structure illustrated in FIG. 3. The in situ converted silicon dioxide layer remains a thick field oxide 18.
As shown in FIG. 4, the resultant structure is then covered with a layer of polysilicon material 30 which, in turn, is covered by a layer of CVD oxide 32. Since layer 30 is the first polysilicon layer to be deposited, it is usually referred to as poly I. The distance between the two field oxide zones 18 can be quite large. For example, hundreds of CCD shift register stages may be formed between the two isolation zones 18.
In order to more particularly illustrate our present invention, refer to FIG. 5 which shows only a small portion of the section between isolation zones 18. The structure of FIG. 5 is obtained by selectively etching first the CVD oxide layer 32 by use of a photoresist mask. Then, utilizing the CVD oxide 32 as a mask, polysilicon material 30 is also etched down to the gate oxide 20. During the etching of polysilicon 30, a portion of the material under the masking oxide 32 is also etched away resulting in the undercut 31 illustrated in FIG. 5.
This undercut 31 and the requirement to insulate poly I layer 30 from subsequent conductive layers raises the problem that is desired to be overcome by our present invention. One known solution would be to oxidize the sidewalls 31 of layer 30 with a very thick layer. This technique, however, causes exposed portions of the oxide layer 20 to also thicken and since this thickened layer will become the gate oxide for subsequently formed devices, inferior field effect devices result. It is possible to remove the exposed portions of layer 20 in order to ease this excessive gate thickening problem. In practice, however, an oxide layer of sufficient thicknesss to insulate the sidewalls of poly I layer 30 always result in an excessive thickness of gate oxide.
We have solved the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art by covering the structure of FIG. 5 with a composite insulating layer. We have found that such a composite insulator improves the insulation of the sidewalls of poly I layer 30 without excessively thickening the gate oxide 20.
In accordance with one aspect of our invention, we subject the structure of FIG. 5 to a phosphorous pentoxide (P2 O5) vapor. This forms a layer of phosphosilicate glass (PSG) of controlled thickness and concentration. The most significant effect will be on the exposed sidewalls 31 of polysilicon 30 where a large portion of the silicon will be converted to phosphorous doped silicon dioxide (i.e. PSG). To a lesser degree, a PSG layer is also formed over CVD 32 and gate oxide 20 by phosphorous atoms penetrating the top surface of the pre-existing oxide. A subsequent thermal oxidation step causes oxygen atoms to penetrate the PSG layer completing the composite insulator.
Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the composite insulative coating includes thermal oxide layer 24 covered by PSG layer 26. During the thermal oxidation step, the gate oxide 20 is thickened in regions 22, but to a much lesser degree than would be necessary if sidewall oxide 24 were the only insulation provided on the sidewall of polysilicon layer 30. Since reliance for insulation is placed on the advantageous attributes of the composite layer, the thickness is less than would be required if only a single layer of insulator material were used.
The structure of FIG. 6 can also be obtained by first thermally oxidizing the structure of FIG. 5. A subsequent exposure of the structure to a phosphorous pentoxide vapor produces PSG layer 26. Although the first of the above described sequence of process steps is preferred, the structure of FIG. 6 results regardless of the sequence of process steps.
As a still further alternative, thermal oxide region 24 can be formed by oxidizing the structure of FIG. 5 and followed by a CVD blanket deposition in place of PSG 26. This resultant layer 26 (consisting of CVD rather than PSG) would then form, with layer 24, the desired composite insulator.
At this point in time, the structure of FIG. 6 is ready to accept another conductor layer that will be reliably insulated from the poly I layer 30. Such a conductor may be a second layer of polysilicon material 40 as shown in FIG. 7. It is known to render poly II layer 40 relatively conductive by heavy doping of N type impurities. Poly II layer 40 is then usually covered with another insulating oxide layer 42. Layer 42 forms the insulation between poly II layer 40 and subsequently layers. Since any subsequent layers do not have a direct field effect on the transfer of electrons or holes in the substrate material, layer 42 may be of conventional design.
It is next desirable to isolate portions of the second polysilicon layer 40 from other portions of the polysilicon layer 40. This is conventional in CCD design, for example, where long polysilicon lines 30 and 40 run perpendicular to the plane of the FIG. 7 drawing to control a large number of shift registers propagating charge in parallel. Thus, by standard photolithographic processes, oxide 42 is first removed and then, in turn, used as a mask to remove polysilicon material 40 down to PSG layer 26. This results in the structure illustrated in FIG. 7.
In order to illustrate the formation of the charge launching site, a portion of the shift register adjacent to oxide 18 is shown in FIG. 8. To obtain the structure of FIG. 8, the structure of FIG. 7 is blanket covered with a top passivating layer 44 which can be thermal oxide, chemical vapor deposited oxide or a combination of both. Holes are then selectively etched into this layer 44 and metallic contact is made as by aluminum layer 50 to the N+ diffusion 11. Selective contact to polysilicon layers 30 and 40 are made at the same time near the edge of the shift register structure. The doped N+ region 11 is generally formed by diffusion or ion implantation after the structure of FIG. 7 has been obtained. Directional ion implants for the operation of the CCD as one type of two-phase shift register are also formed at the same time. These directional implants are not shown as they are not germane to the present invention.
Instead of fabricating CCD's as illustrated in FIGS. 5-8, our improved process may be utilized for the fabrication of other types of field effect devices such as field effect transistors. Assume that the spacing between partially recessed oxide regions 118 is sufficient to accommodate one field effect transistor and a capacitor. Such series connected field effect transistors and compacitors are advantageously utilized as one device memory cells in random access memories. FIGS. 9-12 will illustrate such a configuration in which the spacing between partially recessed oxide regions 118 accommodates a one device memory cell. As a first step, CVD layer 132 is selectively etched by known photolithographic processes. The CVD layer 132 is then used as a mask to selectively remove the poly I layer 130. It is then optional whether or not the gate oxide layer 120 is removed, but if removed it must then be regrown. Note the sidewall 131 undercut under CVD layer 132 similar to the undercut in poly I layer 30 under CVD 32 in FIG. 5.
In order to assure that adequate insulation will be provided between sidewall 131 and a subsequent conductive layer, the structure of FIG. 9 is subjected to a phosphorous pentoxide atmosphere. This forms a layer of PSG 126 over the entire structure. As shown in FIG. 10, a subsequent thermal oxidation step penetrates the PSG layer and oxidizes sidewall 131 of poly I layer 130 resulting in thermal oxide region 131'. Also, during the same thermal oxidation step, the exposed gate oxide region portion 122 is thickened while the protected portion gate oxide 120 remains unchanged in thickness. The thickness of the gate oxide portion 122 becomes approximately twice the thickness of the original gate oxide layer 120.
A second layer of polysilicon 140 and a CVD layer 142 are then applied and selectively etched to arrive at the structure of FIG. 11. Source and drain diffusions or implants such as N+ doped region 111 are then formed into the substrate 110 and the entire structure is reoxidized forming silicon dioxide layer 143, as shown in FIG. 12. Contact holes (not shown) are then selectively etched to form metallic contact to doped regions such as N+ region 111 and to the polysilicon layers 130 and 140.
When the structure of FIG. 12 is used as a one device memory cell, a constant bias is usually applied to the poly I layer 130. A positive bias potential causes the accumulation of N type carriers (electrons) in the otherwise P type material under the gate oxide region 120. This not only forms a capacitance but also the source region of the field effect transistor. The channel region of the field effect transistor is under the gate oxide 122 while the drain region is doped region 111. The FET is turned on and off by the selective application of potentials to the gate (which is part of the poly II conductor 140) and to the drain by means of a metallic contact (not shown) to drain region 111.
As seen by reference to the various drawing figures, our invention provides improved insulation between several levels of conductors. More particularly, the sidewall region 31 of poly I layer 30 in FIG. 5 must be reliably insulated from a subsequently deposited poly II layer. The identical problem is presented by sidewall 131 of poly I layer 130 in the FIG. 9 embodiment. Our invention involves the formation of a composite insulating layer, particularly over the just described sidewall portions of the poly I layer. Such a composite layer has the effect of sealing pin holes in the first of the two layers making up the composite layer during the formation of the second of the two layers. A further advantage of the composite layer is that the interface between the two layers forms traps preventing the transfer of electrons. The overall effect of the composite insulating layer is an improvement in dielectric integrity by substantially reducing field breakdowns as well as leakage current. In order to form the desired composite insulator, three alternate processes have been described.
A first method subjects the FIG. 5 embodiment to a phosphorous pentoxide (P2 O5) atmosphere for a period of approximately 8 to 15 minutes at a temperature of approximately 800� C. to 870� C. The phosphorous pentoxide atmosphere is typically derived from a POCl3 source. This results in the formation of phosphosilicate glass (PSG) that is approximately 200 A thick over the sidewall 31. Exposed portions of gate oxide 20 and CVD oxide 32 will receive thinner layers of PSG caused by phosphorous atoms penetrating the exposed oxide surfaces. It is noted that at this point in time all monocrystalline silicon surfaces are masked to prevent undesired N type diffusion. The resultant PSG covered structure is reoxidized at approximately 970� C. to 1,050� C. in a dry oxygen atmosphere for a period of approximately 15 to 40 minutes. This causes oxygen atoms to penetrate the PSG layer and convert the sidewall material 31 of the poly I layer 30 to silicon dioxide "in situ." This in situ converted oxide 24 may be of sufficient thickness to fill the undercut region resulting in the structure of FIG. 6. Some of the oxygen atoms penetrate the PSG layer covering gate oxide 20 and also penetrate gate oxide 20 resulting in a slightly thickened gate oxide 22. There is a relationship between the thickness of oxide 24 and gate oxide 22 in the sense that each will be thicker if the temperature and time of reoxidation are increased. Oxide 24, however, will grow much faster than the thickening of gate oxide region 22 because the poly I region is more accessible to the oxygen atoms than the substrate under the gate oxide. Because of the improved insulating properties of the composite insulator formed by oxide 24 and PSG layer 26, the thermal reoxidation step can be minimized, thereby minimizing the thickening of the gate oxide 22.
The second described process, in accordance with our invention, reverses the steps of PSG formation and reoxidation. Thus, as a first step, the FIG. 5 structure is oxidized in the same manner previously specified. During this step, not only is the sidewall 31 oxidized but the gate oxide 20 is slightly thickened at exposed portions. The PSG layer is then formed second by the previously described procedure. This PSG layer will be substantially uniform in thickness as the phosphorous atoms will penetrate into the top surface of all of the oxide as illustrated in FIG. 6. The resultant composite insulator will consist of in situ converted silicon dioxide region 24 covered by PSG layer 26, a structure identical to that obtained by the first described series of process steps.
As a third alternative, the composite insulator is formed by a layer of thermal oxide followed by a layer of chemical vapor deposited oxide. With reference to FIG. 6, for example, a thermal oxide layer 24 having a thickness in the order of 250 A is grown. This is followed by a layer 26 formed by CVD oxide in the order of 500 to 750 A. The drawing, of course, is not to scale as is the usual practice in the illustration of semiconductor structures. In this third alternative, when layer 26 is considered to be formed by chemical vapor deposited oxide, it will be thicker than thermally oxidized region 24.
The aforementioned three alternative processes described with respect to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are equally applicable to the embodiment of FIG. 9 and FIG. 10. The polysilicon layer 130 has its critical sidewall 131 oxidized in situ forming silicon dioxide 131'. With the first two processes, the structure of FIG. 10 ends up with a layer 126 consisting of PSG. In the third alternative process, the layer 126 is CVD.
While we have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of our invention, it is to be understood that we do not limit ourselves to the precise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Ahhh, Disney/Marvel want the Frog.
Ooooo! Can't wait to get to the LCS for the 6th Gun trade – I've held off reading all this time, but it looks great!
I don't think they lost the license… I think the sales were not enough to pay the cost of producing ORIGINAL Disney material.
My limited understanding is that once a Disney comic is published, other licensees do not pay any fees to the original creators or publishers to reprint the work. (Although, INDUCKS does not seem to list any foreign editions of the BOOM/Pixar comics.)
Meanwhile, BOOM! continues to publish classic Disney work, as seen in the upcoming Don Rosa collections and the Walt Disney Comics & Stories Archive volumes.
Why doesn't Disney just have Marvel (y'know, the comic book company they paid BILLIONS for) produce those comics for them?!?
because Disney is not in the comic business and having Marvel produce their stuff as part of them would to the other companies look like a monopoly. though surprise boom may not do the muppets comic any more for they did the muppets the way they should be done in comic form. fans just have to wait and see the fate of the muppets and pixar in comic form.
As long as Darkwing Duck and Rescue Rangers are "alive", it's all OK by me! I wish they would mkae a Talespin title though. I hope this news doesn't mean they're in bad shape or bad relationship with Disney.
The Muppet title sucked anyway. But then nowadays, the actual Muppets do too.

Three Grays Harbor cities are working together to update the region's Shoreline Master Program which will manage the shorelines of the Chehalis, Hoquiam and Wishkah rivers, creeks and the Harbor.
Representatives from Aberdeen, Hoquiam and Cosmopolis met with the state Department of Ecology at Aberdeen City Hall last week and decided Hoquiam would take the lead. The three mayors are also involved in setting up the arrangement.
"Somebody had to take the lead and make sure (the cities) get what they want and have a good outcome," said Hoquiam City Planner Josh Beach on Wednesday. Working together is "an excellent idea," added Hoquiam City Administrator Brian Shay, noting that Hoquiam City Attorney Steve Johnson has already drafted an inter-local agreement. The agreement will be submitted for approval by each city's council next month.
Shoreline towns and cities are required by state law to periodically update their Shoreline Master Program.
The project will act as a planning guide for the Chehalis River and Mill Creek and won't likely make a huge difference regarding what can and can't be done since most of Cosmopolis is already developed, Darrin Raines, public works and community development director for the city of Cosmopolis, said Thursday.
Shay and Aberdeen Community Development Director Lisa Scott agree the shoreline program may not change much, but can guide and update future development. "That is not to say it can't happen (but) we are not expecting big changes," Shay said. "You never know."
Shay noted that Hoquiam just redid its comprehensive plan and changed zoning ordinances, so this will likely mirror that process for Hoquiam.
Aberdeen is also in the process of updating a chapter of its comprehensive plan, and will soon tackle zoning updates, Scott said.
Setbacks, or where businesses can develop based on the normal high water mark, will be examined and could be changed, Raines and Scott said. Cosmos Specialty Fiber is located near the waterfront and will be looked at during the process, but existing parameters will likely remain the same, Raines said.
The shoreline of the three cities is contiguous and is where the largest segment of population lives and works on the Harbor.
The project is funded by the state legislature through grants from Ecology and aims to preserve shoreline in Washington, Beach and Scott said. The project is expected to take three years. By pooling their grants, the three cities have $300,000 to hire a larger firm to provide the master shoreline program, Shay said. Aberdeen and Hoquiam were each awarded $125,00 and Cosmopolis was awarded $50,000, Raines said.
Raines, who is the brother in law of Cosmopolis Mayor Vickie Raines, said he couldn't remember the last time the three cities teamed up on a planning project. "It's really neat."
It makes sense to share a consultant since the shoreline is contiguous and the move can save money, representatives of the three cities agreed. The group is currently waiting to hear back from Ecology about whether they need to send out a request for qualifications or hire a consultant directly from an approved list, Shay said, adding that there are only a handful of consultants with substantive experience on the Harbor and issues "like the port" who will likely fit the bill.
The last master shoreline program was created in the 1970s. It was amended in the 1980s to include the Grays Harbor Estuary Plan for Aberdeen and Hoquiam, Scott said.
Raines said Cosmopolis was not part of the Grays Harbor Estuary update, which was last done in January of 1986, according to Beach.
When finished in August of 2016, the shoreline master program must be approved by each city's council, Beach said. Open houses and meetings open to the public will be held throughout the process.

DIY Determination
First Buddy hung shelves on the existing drywall to hold his equipment, then coped a frame around the room's moldings. To make the panels in the 9-foot-high wall light enough to move, he used four hollow-core doors that he jury-rigged to open as bifolds. He covered the wall frame with veneer and added trim and moldings to the frame and doors, and finished by faux-painting everything to match the room's hardwood floors. "I love that my instruments are easy to get to but if the doorbell rings I can close it all out of sight,' says Buddy.

In the checkout process I did not encounter anywhere to enter coupon or voucher codes. Does cartpress support coupons?
I suppose you do that only through the free plugin Discounts http://extend.thecartpress.com/ecommerce-plugins/discounts/ which doesn't seem too bad. Would be nice to have additional support for:
1. Free shipping coupon
2. Selective discounts: Coupons are applicable to certain products or categories
3. Pre-applied URL: Go to a URL and the coupon is automatically applied to your cart. This is not only valuable for online promotions via newsletters and voucher websites, but also great for offline promotions - say you distribute a pamphlet promising a discount, with URL http://www.domain.com/coupon10 or put up a poster with a shortcode, which when scanned takes customer to shop with coupon already applied.
4. Coupon limits: Sometimes you want to put limits for how many times a coupon can be used - how many times 1 person can use a coupon, as well as how many total uses of the coupon can be made.
Hi OC2PS,
Points 2 and 3 are not supported. We'll take a look.
Best regards
So does that mean #1 and #4 are already supported?
Free Shipping coupon...I'll take a look but I developed it!!!
Coupon limits, sure. limits of use and by users
Best regards

Re: myFico on Facebook
Called myFICO about this today - spoke with a Supervisor. Basically told me to suck it up and there was no reason they couldn't include threads here on their FB page. I only questioned the selection process they use for inclusion - no answer. In the end he told me the Marketing team is in charge of this decision and that he would be sending a note to sombody regarding the concerns I raised. He didn't understand the ethical boundary that was being tested either.
I think I got just about nowhere with him. That's 20 minutes I won't get back...

VALDOSTA, Ga. (AP) - Engineers blame a short in a power line for an accident that left people in Valdosta unable to drink the city's water.
WALB-TV reported Monday that an underground power line shorted out, causing the system to overload and motors to fail.
Officials said water used for drinking, food preparation and teeth brushing should be boiled for at least one minute.
City authorities said they hope the water system will be working normally by Wednesday.

In the Central African Republic, U.S. Special Forces soldiers are on the hunt for Joseph Kony, the brutal leader of the rebel group the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). The LRA has been responsible for abducting tens of thousands of children and turning them into sex slaves or killers. The U.S. military set up its outpost in the country four months ago. Audie Cornish talks to Washington Post reporter Sudarsan Raghavan, who wrote about the U.S. involvement.

I would like to know:

2) is there a way to change the font? Current font too strong / bold.

Peace Is the Way: Bringing War and Violence to an End (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
There is no way to peace, peace is the way.
This statement has never been more true. Now, Deepak Chopra expands on A. J. Muste's insight, teaching us how to expand awareness, stop reacting out of fear, and reject war one person at a time. As Dr. Chopra says, Violence may be innate in human nature, but so is its opposite: love. The next stage of humanity, the leap we are poised to take, will be guided by the force of that love.
About the Author
Deepak Chopra is the author of more than fifty-five books translated into over thirty-five languages, including numerous New York Times bestsellers in both fiction and nonfiction categories.
Praise For…
"The daily practices suggested in this book offer readers a way to become more fully human and actively engaged as peacemakers in their homes and communities." —Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Laureate, 1984, archbishop emeritus of Cape Town, and author of God Has a Dream: A Vision of Hope for Our Time
"Deepak Chopra brings the idea of peace and the power it has over conflict, hatred, and despair into focus. He offers a clear pathway to make this world a better place for us all." —Muhammad Ali, U.N. Ambassador of Peace

China Dollar Borrowing Costs Fall Most This Year on Stimulus Bet
Chinese dollar-denominated borrowing costs are set to reduce this week by the most this year after a decline in industrial output fueled bets the government will increase economic stimulus.
The average premium on Chinese notes in the U.S. currency has dropped 12 basis points since March 21 to 368.5 basis points, poised for its biggest weekly decline since the five business days ended Dec. 6, JPMorgan Chase & Co. indexes show. That's down from a seven-month high of 389 on March 19, after Zhejiang Xingrun Real Estate Co. collapsed and Shanghai Chaori Solar Energy Science & Technology Co. defaulted.
A preliminary gauge of manufacturing released earlier this week which showed a drop in output for March prompted a "bad news equals good" view, according to Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. A decline in supply of dollar bonds by companies in China has also burnished the debt's appeal, Mizuho Securities Asia Ltd. said. Issuance from the country has halved to $1.65 billion in March from February, Bloomberg data show.
"This week's strong performance of Chinese dollar bonds is down to the unexpectedly light offshore supply from Chinese issuers," said Mark Reade, a Hong Kong-based desk analyst at Mizuho. "This, coupled with a growing expectation of economic stimulus measures post Monday's weak manufacturing data."
The preliminary manufacturing index from HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics slid to 48.1 from February's final 48.5 figure. Numbers below 50 signal contraction.
Risk Falls
The cost of insuring corporate and sovereign bonds from default in Asia and Australia fell today.
The Markit iTraxx Asia index of 40 investment-grade borrowers outside Japan decreased 1 basis point to 130 basis points as of 8:29 a.m. in Hong Kong, ANZ prices show. The gauge is set to fall 4.5 basis points this week, according to data provider CMA.
The Markit iTraxx Australia index dropped 0.5 of a basis point to 102.5 as of 10:59 a.m. in Sydney, according to Westpac Banking Corp. The measure is poised to end the week down just 0.2 of a basis point, according to CMA, which is owned by McGraw-Hill Cos. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the private market.
The Markit iTraxx Japan index was little changed at 85.3 as of 9:01 a.m. in Tokyo, Citigroup Inc. prices show, on track for a 3.7 basis-point decline this week.
Credit-default swap indexes are benchmarks for insuring bonds against default and traders use them to speculate on credit quality. A drop signals improving perceptions of creditworthiness, while an increase suggests the opposite.
The swap contracts pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities if a borrower fails to meet its debt agreements.

Published: April 28, 2000
(Page 2 of 3)
* BENNY GOLSON, Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, 58 Seventh Avenue, Park Slope, (718) 622-3300. One of the great composers of the postwar jazz tune, Mr. Golson is also a truly great tenor saxophonist, capable of jolting an audience with an advanced sense of harmony. Tomorrow at 8 p.m.; admission is $20, or $15 for students and the elderly (Ratliff).
EL GRAN COMBO, Copacabana, 617 West 57th Street, Clinton, (212) 582-2672. Formed in 1962 and consistently on the Latin charts ever since, El Gran Combo has (along with Sonora Poncena) become one of Puerto Rico's definitive salsa bands, pitching eager romance amid hard-driving percussion and horns. Tomorrow after midnight, with Rey Reyes opening; admission is $30, or $40 for table reservations. Sunday at 10 p.m; admission is $10 (Pareles).
HOME, Mercury Lounge, 217 Houston Street, at Ludlow Street, Lower East Side, (212) 260-4700. This Tampa-based collective, which has made a cottage industry within the field of charmingly strange avant-rock, recently released its 14th effort, called, as expected, ''Home XIV.'' Come watch the group twist various musical elements into knotty patterns of noise. Tomorrow at 8 p.m.; admission is $8 (Powers).
* ZAKIR HUSSAIN, SULTAN KHAN, V. VIKKU VINAYAKRAM, Town Hall, 123 West 43rd Street, Manhattan, (212) 840-2824 or (212) 545-7536. Small hand-held drums -- tabla, the two-headed pakhawaj and the ghatam (clay pot) -- yield kinetic, dizzyingly complex rhythms in India's improvisational traditions. This concert is dedicated to Zakir Hussain's father, the tabla master Alla Rahka, who died this year, and is to feature his music. Along with six drummers (including Mr. Hussain's two brothers), Ustad Sultan Khan will perform on the sarangi, an ancient bowed string instrument. Tomorrow night at 8; tickets are $25 to $45 (Pareles).
FREEDY JOHNSTON, Mercury Lounge, 217 East Houston Street, at Ludlow Street, Lower East Side, (212) 260-4700. Freedy Johnston's finely turned folk-rock songs have carefully balanced melodies that he sings in a winsome tenor. But for all their classic symmetry, they're the confessions of some desperate, unsavory and unbalanced characters. Tonight at 8, with Anna Fermin's Trigger Gospel and J. C. Hopkins opening; admission is $12 (Pareles).
* UTE LEMPER, Town Hall, 123 West 43rd Street, Manhattan, (212) 840-2824. Ute Lemper has built a career on classical art songs, especially the corrosive cabaret songs of Brecht and Weill; now, she's seeking out their modern descendants. This program is to feature songs from her new album, ''Punishing Kiss,'' with twisted love songs by Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, Nick Cave and Nick Hannon. Tonight at 8; tickets are $25 to $45 (Pareles).
BOB MOULD, Irving Plaza, 17 Irving Place, at 15th Street, Manhattan, (212) 777-6800. The temperamental indie-punk pioneer returns to bring his moody, majestic rock to loyal fans. With Araby and the wonderful Martha Wainwright, whose songs just keep getting more intricate and affecting. Tonight at 8; tickets are $18 (Powers).
* JOSHUA REDMAN QUARTET, Village Vanguard, 178 Seventh Avenue South, at 11th Street, West Village, (212) 255-4037. Mr. Redman has a new album (Beyond, on Warner Brothers), and has laid aside the burden of trying to convert young fans by jazzing up the Beatles. For the moment, with a new band that includes a rhythm section of the pianist Aaron Goldberg, the bassist Reuben Rogers and the drummer Gregory Hutchinson, he is digging into originals. The band seems to be traveling into jazz's language of uncertainty: strange time signatures, the yowl of late Coltrane. At the root of things, Mr. Redman is a terrific saxophone player, and if he's progressing, it's worth hearing. Sets through Sunday are at 9:30 and 11:30 p.m., with a 1 a.m. set tonight and tomorrow night; cover charge is $20; with a $10 minimum (Ratliff).
CARL HANCOCK RUX, Joe's Pub, Public Theater, 425 Lafayette Street, East Village, (212) 539-8777 or (212) 239-6200. A poet, novelist, secular preacher, and hip-hop provocateur, Carl Hancock Rux always thrills with his incendiary shows. This one, ''The No Black Male Show,'' will reprise that piece, a look at the limits of packaged blackness in pop, plus others from his excellent repertory. Tomorrow at 8:30 p.m.; tickets are $12 (Powers).
SANDRA ST. VICTOR, Joe's Pub, Public Theater 425 Lafayette Street, East Village, (212) 539-8777 . The majestic soul empress brings her jazzy, finely toned vocal stylings to a venue that matches her elegance. Tonight at 8:30; admission at the door is $15 (Powers).
GIANT SAND, STACEY EARLE, the Knitting Factory, 74 Leonard Street, TriBeCa, (212) 219-3055. Inimitable, irascible, irresistible: all those words apply to Howe Gelb, the shaggy bard of the desert steppes near Tucson. He's still leading Giant Sand through his well-rooted, high-flying avant-rock visions. Stacey Earle takes a much more down-home approach to country rock; she's a salty, self-styled ''simple girl'' who loves a good rock 'n' roll riff. Tonight at 10; tickets are $10 (Powers).

There were crowd crushes, there were flares, there were naked guys climbing up towers and there were bloody noses. But aside from all the ominous scenes and injured gig goers that have dogged the headlines since Saturday, The Libertines at Hyde Park was a much needed injection of much-missed rock and roll.
This week, 10 years ago, The Libertines released their debut album Up the Bracket and gave the British indie scene back to the youth it belonged to. This wasn't just a great collection of songs, it was a musical manifesto set out by Peter Doherty and Carl Barat that would inspire a generation and beyond.

Accomodation at Ross Castle
All rooms are furnished in period antiques to complement the stately ambience. The castle premises are entered through the original archway dating back to 1536 to an inner courtyard and lawn, surrounded by a stone wall and ancient trees.
On the ground floor guests will enter the large entrance hall connecting the tower and sitting room. The latter large room, with a lovely open fireplace, has wide French Windows, giving a view across the lake. This was the original castle bawn.
The ground floor to the right of the entrance hall is where the Great Hall used to be. It contains a spacious sitting-room come dining-room with fireplace. Our own turf is used to light this every evening for guests to enjoy. This room is used for breakfast, dinner and sitting together in a cosy and chatty atmosphere by an Irish turf and wood fire.
The Master Bedroom, with a double and a single bed and it's own bathroom, has private access to the terrace.
Two further bedrooms (called Yellow and Green room) share a bathroom complementing this wing of the castle. These rooms are the most quiet and remote rooms in the building. If one of these rooms is rented out, we leave the other room empty, so that guests don't need to share the bathroom.
The ancient tower offers two double ensuite bedrooms. The higher of these rooms, the Upper Tower Bedroom, can be reached up a 65 step stairway. It has spectacular views of Lough Sheelin. The room itself is extensive, featuring an antique half tester bed. The second bedroom is 40 steps up, the Lower Tower Bedroom. It offers a four poster bed, the original domed ceiling and also beautiful views of the surroundings. As you come into the tower, you ascend through a hall and up a spiral staircase into a spacious sitting room with fireplace. The accommodation is furnished throughout with antiques of excellent taste.
