NWSB Writer and Seattle Mariners Insider, Brian Scott, examines the first major decision for new GM Jerry Dipoto– Should Lloyd McClendon stay or go? When you start combining those kind of numbers with the idea that McClendon, like Scioscia, is an old school style manager who will resist the use of modern metrics that dictate how he should play his team, you then really start to cast a shadow of doubt on McClendon and Dipoto working well together.
Lloyd McClendon: Should He Stay Or Go?
Call The Mariners Maid Service — It's Time To Clean House
NWSB Writer and Seattle Mariners Insider, Brian Scott, looks at possible managerial replacements for Jack and Lloyd once they are bounced out of Seattle– The thing nice about Cora is he's a Seattle hero. Few longtime M's fans will have forgotten Joey Cora weeping when the M's were finally eliminated in the ALCS of 1995. If Cora could be convinced to come on and retain his pal Edgar Martinez as hitting coach you'd really have quite the cast of former M's stars down in that dugout. Heck, maybe his little brother Alex could coach third too.
The Fernando Rodney Experience — Is It Time To Move On?
NWSB Writer and Seattle Mariners insider, Brian Scott, takes a look at the M's closer situation with Fernando Rodney. Is it time for the M's to move someone else into the closer role? Facts are facts and McClendon needs to avoid using Rodney when it's not a save whenever possible because the numbers aren't any better in 2015 for Rodney in those non-save situations. Four of the six runs he's allowed this year came in non-save opportunities
The Battle For Shortstop Heats Up Again At Mariners Spring Training
NWSB Writer and Seattle Mariners Insider Brian Scott takes a look at the Seattle Mariners spring training battle for the shortstop position– First of all, Miller has a bit more power in that bat than Taylor does. We've seen his power last year and we've seen it a bit already during spring training this year. Miller is fully capable of putting up 15-20 homers if he can keep it together for a whole season.
Mariners' Brass Gives GM Jack Zduriencik A Multi-Year Extension
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners Blogger Brian Scott breaks down current events in the Pacific Northwest, MLB edition. The 2014 Ms arefull of surprises. After giving their GM, Jack Zduriencik, a "do or die" one-year deal preceding the season, the team brass has now apparently seen enough to be satisfied.
M's Skipper Lloyd McClendon mid-season report card
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Brian Scott weighs in at the halfway point of the 2014 MLB Season on M's skipper Lloyd McClendon. Brian thinks it's time we pay some attention to the skipper, the moves he's made and the other decisions that surround his role on the club and give him some praise and scrutiny where both are deserved.
Under the Spotlight: Mariners' Starter Roenis Elias
NWSB's Mariners blogger Brian Scott looks at the emergence of young Seattle pitcher – Cuban born Roenis Elias. A tale of his journey to the bigs. In the dead of night Elias drove to the shores of Cuba. There, he was shoved onto a small boat with 26 other individuals, including five baseball players who shared Elias's dream of playing professional baseball in the US.
He's Back! Nick Franklin Returns to the Mariners Lineup
NWSB Writer and Seattle Mariners Blogger Brian Scott brings us up to speed on Nick Franklin and the situation brewing at short stop. Brad Miller is not a typical DH player, but his struggles could be the excuse the Ms need to bring Franklin in on a full-time basis.
James Jones the next Adam Jones?
Déjà Jones We are nearly half way into the month of May, and the Seattle Mariners are 20-18. That's right, a winning record at this point in the season for the first time since 2003. There are several reasons the Mariners have been successful as of late – outstanding pitching from unlikely sources (Chris Young and […]
Seattle Mariners: Surprise roster choices worth monitoring
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners Blogger Brian Scott gives us a look at surprise M's getting a chance early in the 2014 MLB season. Earning recognition at this juncture are Roenis Elias, Erasmo Ramirez and Stefen Romero.
Seattle Mariners: Bats starting to shine in regular season
NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners Blogger Brian Scott recaps the early-season success found by the M's bats. Featured are players such as Dustin Ackley, Justin Smoak Abraham Almonte and Robinson Cano. A not-so-honorable mention comes in the form of Kyle Seager.
Decision Time: Projecting the Seattle Mariner's 25 Man Roster for 2014
Tough calls for McClendon coming in just over a week. I think it's fair to say that there has been more intrigue in this year's Seattle Mariner's Spring Training Camp than any other for some time. With 2 starting positions up for grabs and a plethora of rotation spots to fill, some decisions will be […]

Hello, 1st I wanna thank to the mantainer (Max Lingua) to make ps2 version back to life and ScummVM team for this great project.
*Now my report:
My setup is a fat PS2 V7 w/ DMS3 and a 500GB Seagate HDD.
Before I start ScummVM I ran uLaunchELF and then I locate the ELF executable from my hdd0:+KORMANN partition and then I load it up.
First I have tried to locate my KYRA1 (The Legend of Kyrandia) subfolder from +KORMANN/games/ScummVM/KYRA1 but the ScummVM doesn't even recognize my HDD from the "Add Game..." option.
Second I read the readme again and I found that I needed to have a partition with the label "+ScummVM" so I have renamed my partition label and then restarted ScummVM again. This time my HDD isn't recognized again. So I thought "sh!t it's not working", then I had tried with my usb pendrive (thanks god I got one from xmas)
Third I have tried from usb pendrive and I could add KYRA1 and then I ran it, I was surprised cause I haven't seen the logo screen about 14 years ago But for my surprise it hanged/freezed just before the intro when Malcom the Joker transforms Brendon's Master in to a Stone Statue.
Is just me that I'm having this problem? reagarding the HDD recognition and KYRA1 bug?
I couldn't try any other game because I don't have them (yet)

This is a quite bad suggestion. I highly recommend to post all these bugreports to our bugtracker, separately, one bug per tracker item. The problem is that forums are not suitable for bugreports and especially bugtracking which is required for successful bugfixing.
quote: Originally posted by KormannI suggest everyone who has bugs and suggestions to the ps2 version to post here in this topic.
Oh sorry.. I didnt know how it works here in these forums.
But suggestions are welcome right?
But anyway, I got a workaround/fix "solution" to play ScummVM games from HDD. So stay tuned!
I 'll post later here and then I may post at the bugtracking too ok? Where's the bugtracker can you post the link?
Thank you,
Really Thanks Max Lingua... You are great!
For bugs: here.
For suggestions aka Feature Requests: here.
As you understand, inactive forum threads go down in the list, and are eas to forget, whereas bugtracker items stay in the list until they are resolved. Also speaking of suggestions, not just PS2 porter, but other porters and ScummVM core developers coud take part in implementing them. That's why there is another reason to keep them in our tracker, not on the forums.
First you need to have uLaunchELF and you need to know how to run it (I won't xplain it here grab this utility at psx-scene.com) and then read the steps below:
I) Adding ScummVM games from your HDD
1)Certify that your uLaunchELF (4.12) is configured to "RESET IOP: OFF".
a) Go to Configure uLaunchELF then STARTUP SETTINGS.
b) In the STARTUP SETTINGS screen set RESET IOP to OFF.
ps: If you have changed from ON to OFF please choose OK to accept the changes and to go back to main screen (this way
the settings will be saved) and reset your PS2 and (at uLaunchELF) then go to step 2.
2) Go to FILEBROWSER and load up the +ScummVM partition and look for the ScummVM executable file "SCUMMVM.ELF" and run it.
3) In the ScummVM screen go to ADD GAME and you shall see:
4) Select HARDDISK and add the folder of the game you want to add. After the game has been added don't try to load it yet, because it won't run, you will get a black screen.
II) Running games from your HDD
1) After the you have completed all the tasks above you should reset your PS2.
2) Now go to uLaunchELF again at the CONFIGURE ULAUNCHELF > STARTUP SETTINGS and set RESET IOP to ON. Choose OK to accept the changes and go back to main screen (this way the settings will be saved) and reset your PS2 and (at uLaunchELF) then go to step 3.
3) Now look for your +ScummVM partition with the FILEBROWSER and load SCUMMVM.ELF.
4) At ScummVM screen select the game you want to play and voiolá.
III) Questions/Answers
1) What is "RESET IOP: ON" ?
It resets all modules loaded previously by uLaunchELF before you load any program.
2) What is "RESET IOP: OFF" ?
Keep the modules already loaded to the memory so other programs can use it.
OBS: If you try to add games to your hdd with "RESET IOP: ON" at ADD GAME screen you won't see the HARDDISK drive, you only will see the DVDDRIVE and USB MASS STORAGE.
I hope it helps anyone that want to play ScummVM games with PS2HDD
what size is your hdd?
I can only load games from HDD if I boot scummvm from dvd, why does this happen? And by the way, some games just run perfect from IDE HDD, such as The Dig and Monkey Island 3 (no lag and jerky gameplay).

If Nuclear War broke out, how would you be notified today?
During the cold war a series of sirens at strategic locations around the UK would alert people that an attack was coming, later this was combined with broadcast messages including the infamous "Attack Warning Red – seek immediate shelter!" message. But know, with hundreds of TV channels and radio stations and the sirens gone, how would you be alerted today? It was a question we pondered so we asked the Government. In the event of a Nuclear Attack, the Cabinet Office told us that the plan would be to alert members of the public using "social and broadcast media" and telling them to "take shelter indoors with windows and doors […]Read More

Pakistani soldier killed in Indian firing along LoC
The Inter-Services Public Relations has confirmed the death of a soldier in firing from Indian Border Security Forces.
The latest incident occurred in the Rawalakot's Battal Sector. The ISPR statement said that the 20-year-old soldier, identified as Sepoy Shams, was a resident of village Shanglot in Gopis Tehsil of Gilgit Baltistan's Ghizer district.
Just four days ago, Indian and Pakistani border forces had agreed to maintain restraint on their disputed Kashmir frontier, as they sought to defuse tensions that have been heightened in recent months by militant attacks that each side blames the other for.
The heads of India's Border Security Force and the Pakistani Rangers met in New Delhi to find ways to de-escalate tensions along the border as part of a series of measures agreed by the leaders of the two countries in July.
Indian interior ministry statement had said the border chiefs agreed to hold back cross-border firing and not to retaliate immediately to violations of a 15-year ceasefire.

Twitter lit up with off-color jokes and memes during inauguration weekend, but there was one topic that really sent social media into a frenzy: Barron Trump.
President Trump's 10-year-old son attracted a lot of attention Friday when he appeared on TV, frequently captured on camera as he sat behind his father at the inauguration ceremony at the U.S Capitol. A popular meme compared Barron to King Joffrey, a much-despised villain on "Game of Thrones." People immediately took such jokes to task, considering they involved a kid who didn't ask to be in the spotlight, and children in the first family are supposed to be off limits.
There was a particularly harsh reaction toward those in the entertainment industry. On Friday afternoon, "Saturday Night Live" writer Katie Rich tweeted that "Barron will be this country's first homeschool shooter." It immediately triggered a flood of angry tweets. Rich, an improv comedian who has written for NBC's "SNL" since December 2013, when she was hired to work on "Weekend Update," deleted her account in the wake of the backlash. Nearly 25,000 people signed a Change.org petition for her to be fired. (An "SNL" rep declined to comment on Rich's tweet.)
"Modern Family" star Julie Bowen (who appeared in Hillary Clinton's "Fight Song" video last year) also received criticism Friday when she posted a series of Instagram photos poking fun at Barron's expressions during inauguration.
Hundreds of comments rolled in on Bowen's Instagram photos, many of them slamming the actress for mentioning Barron at all. Bowen tweeted a defense: "I love that Barron is a kid being a kid. My kids would be a horror show at a public event!" she wrote. "Just trying to keep it light."
Meanwhile, Chelsea Clinton, speaking from experience as a former first offspring, weighed in on Facebook: "Barron Trump deserves the chance every child does -- to be a kid," she wrote. "Standing up for every kid also means opposing POTUS policies that hurt kids."
Pop diva Madonna and controversy aren't strangers; they're BFFs. Their long history together includes that onstage smooch with Britney Spears, her book "SEX," and that time the Vatican condemned one of her videos. So it kind of feels like we're back in the 1980s now that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is blasting the singer -- only now, Madonna is explaining herself on Instagram.
A recap: At Saturday's Women's March in Washington, Madonna was Madonna, all f-bombs and whatnot, singing a song with lyrics like "Donald Trump, suck my d--!" But her comment about having "thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House" fired up the old outrage-at-Madonna-machine.
Pearls were clutched. Breitbart News reported that the FBI was investigating. And Gingrich, during an appearance Monday on Fox News, said she should be arrested.
Her Madge-esty, though, posted a clarification on Instagram. "I am not a violent person, I do not promote violence, and it's important people hear and understand my speech in its entirety rather than one phrase taken wildly out of context," she wrote, noting that she began by calling for a "revolution of love."
As for blowing up 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.? Madonna explains: "I spoke in metaphor."
Stacey Dash, the "Clueless" star turned conservative commentator, is out at Fox News Channel, according to the cable network.
Dash, who turned 50 on Inauguration Day, first made it onto the conservative scene when she endorsed GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney over President Barack Obama during the 2012 election. At the time, the actress, who is black, tweeted: "Vote for Romney. The only choice for your future." The backlash was swift, and two years later Fox News swooped in.
"Stacey is an engaging conversationalist whose distinctive viewpoints amongst her Hollywood peers have spawned national debates," the network said in a statement at the time of Dash's hiring.
Her job was to provide cultural analysis and commentary. Dash's views sometimes landed her in hot water, like the time she said, "We need to get rid of channels like BET, and the BET Awards and the Image Awards, where you're only awarded if you're black."
There's no word on why Dash's contract wasn't renewed for 2017, but Fox made sure to emphasize that the actress, a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, hadn't appeared on the network since September.

Combined Degrees
Tailor your education to your career goals through dual and joint degree programs.
University of Minnesota students can gain valuable interdisciplinary training and enhance career options by simultaneously pursuing a J.D. degree and another University graduate or professional degree. Combined degree programs enable students to reduce total education time by up to a year, as compared to pursuing degrees separately. Visit our Combined Degree Policies for detailed guidance on how these programs work.
Through the Joint Degree Program in Law, Science and Technology, students can pursue interdisciplinary study in cutting-edge health and life science fields such as Public Health, Medicine, Pharmacology, and Health Care Administration. Dual degree options in other areas of study are also available in partnership with the Carlson School of Management, Humphrey School of Public Affairs, the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, and other University of Minnesota programs.
- Joint Degree Program in Law, Science & Technology: Jason Stebner, 335, firstname.lastname@example.com
- JD/MBA dual degree: Sarah Rohne, Director, Corporate Institute, email@example.com, 612-626-9467
- Other degree combinations: Law School Dean of Students Office, firstname.lastname@example.com
Application Process
Students apply separately to the Law School and to the other degree program, and each school makes independent admission decisions using its own standards. While students are encouraged to apply for such programs before entering Law School, application after entry is also possible. Students should pay special attention to required entrance exams, such as the GMAT or GRE, since most partner programs do not accept the LSAT as a substitute.
Advising and Program Planning
Once admitted to the Law School and the other degree program, students are urged to meet with their advisors in both the Law School and partner program to review the proposed course of study. It may be helpful to arrange a joint meeting of advisors so that the student and both schools have a clear understanding of the degree plan.
Degree Requirements
- The Law School and partner programs each administer their program requirements separately.
- J.D. requirements include special rules that enable students in combined degree programs to apply up to 12 credits of coursework from the partner program towards their JD credit requirements.
- Requirements for the other degree program are governed by the partner school. Students should confer regularly with an advisor in the partner program to ensure they are on track to complete requirements.
Registration and Enrollment Records
During the first year of law school, students cannot take any other graduate or professional courses. Similarly, some partner degree programs require that one year of study be completed without concurrent registration at the Law School.
In subsequent semesters, combined degree students have the option to remain fully enrolled in one program per semester, or to enroll in both Law and the partner program simultaneously. Under dual career registration, students maintain separate transcripts in each program.
Tuition, Scholarships, and Financial Aid
Combined degree students are charged tuition and fees in accordance with the rates for each program, which are updated annually on the University's OneStop site. Students who enroll in Law and partner program courses in the same semester will be charged tuition in each program, and may also be eligible for federal financial aid and other program-specific support.
Students eligible for Law scholarships can receive support on a per-credit basis after the first year of Law study. Support through the partner program, whether in the form of scholarships, assistantships, or fellowships, is allocated in accordance with the partner program's policies.

Large brick and mortar retailers are worried that they will have to charge taxes to customers who buy goods from them. Imagine how the "low cost" of Amazon.com or other retailers would evaporate by adding 5%, 10%, 3% to each purchase.
Currently, if you don't have a physical presence in a state, you don't have to charge tax to those residents. The argument is geared to big retailers who have a physical stores in a (or more than one) state. However, states know they are losing a lot of money by not capturing online tax revenue. The "online tax" writing, is on the
Soon you and your smaller business might need to start worrying as well.
The Associated Press writes An appellate court ruling against Borders Group Inc. sets a precedent that could enable California to force some major Internet retailers to start paying state sales tax for books, music and other goods sold online to state residents.
Borders Group Inc. says it has never collected sales tax for books and music sold over the Internet to California residents, even though the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based corporate parent operates 129 California stores under the Borders and Waldenbooks brands, as well as a 414,000-square-foot distribution center in the state.
Borders says it doesn't have to collect California sales taxes because its online division ¬? since outsourced to Amazon.com ¬? doesn't own or lease property in the state. None of the online division's employees or bank accounts are in California and all Internet orders were received and processed outside the state.
"We've done everything within the confines of the tax law. We have always believed that what they did was correct under the Constitution," said Borders lawyer Scott Brandman.
California's 1st District Court of Appeal in San Francisco rejected that argument, ruling on May 31 that the Borders' Web site and retail stores have been too intertwined to call themselves separate companies. The three-judge panel cited in-store advertising for the Web site, receipts that said "Visit us online at www.borders.com" and the ability of customers to return online merchandise at retail stores.

There are a variety of alternative names and spellings (such as cowter/couter or bassinet/bascinet/basinet or besagew/besague) which often reflect a word introduced from the French. Generally, the English spelling has been preferred (including mail instead of the lately used maille or the inauthentic term chainmail).
| Period
|Mail coif
|? to 14th
|Mail hood worn with a hauberk.
|Great helm
|Late 12th to 14th
|Started as a simple cylinder with a flat top but later developed a curved "sugar loaf" pointed top to deflect crushing blows. Has small slits for eyes and breathing/ventilation which may be decorative as well as functional. Often removed after the initial "clash of lances" as it impedes sight and breathing and is very hot. Often worn with another helm underneath. A stereotypical knight's helm from the crusader period.
|Late 13th
|Steel skullcap worn underneath a great helm.
|Early 14th
|Originally worn underneath a great helm and had no visor but did develop "nasals" to protect the nose. By the mid-14th century it replaced the great helm and was fully visored, often "dog faced" (the conical hounskull visor), often worn without a visor for visibility and 'breathability'. Worn with an aventail then later with a gorget. Visors on English bassinets have a hinge at each side whereas German bassinets have a single hinge attached at the middle.
|A bowl helmet that encloses the entire head with the use of hinged cheek plates that fold backwards. A gorget was attached and a comb may be present. May also have a rondel at the rear. Later armets have a visor. A stereotypical knight's helm. Favoured in Italy.
|When worn with a bevor as is usual, a sallet covers the entire head. It is distinguished by a long, sometimes pointed (if Italian) tail that extends to cover the back of the neck and by a single, long eye-slit. It has no ventilation holes as there is a gap where the helm and bevor meet. A favoured helm in England and Western Europe, including Germanic areas (the tail may have influenced design of German helmets in World War 2).
|close helmet or close helm
|12th to 17th
|A bowl helmet with a moveable visor, very similar visually to an armet and often the two are confused. However, it lacks the hinged cheekplates of an armet and instead has a bevor.
|Close fitting helmet with a characteristic Y- or T-shaped slit for vision and breathing, reminiscent of ancient Greek helmets
|Early 16th
|Open face bowl shaped helmet with a neck collar, a peak, a very characteristic comb, sometimes with cheek pieces. Sometimes has a buffe (a visor that is raised, rather than lowered).
|Aventail or Camail
|Detachable mail hung from a helmet to protect the neck and shoulders, often worn with bassinets.
|Steel collar to protect the neck and cover the neck opening in a complete cuirass. Quite unlike a modern shirt collar in that as well as covering the front and back of the neck it also covers part of the clavicles and sternum and a like area on the back.
|Worn with a sallet to cover the jaw and throat (extending somewhat down the sternum). May also cover the back of the neck if worn with a bassinet rather than a sallet. May be solid or made of lames. Sometimes worn with a gorget.
|12th to 16th
|Cloth garment, generally canvas or leather, lined with small oblong steel plates riveted to the fabric.
|Hauberk or Haubergeon
|? to 14th
|Mail shirt with sleeves reaching to the mid-thigh.
|14th to 17th
|Covers the breast, not the back, however the name is sometimes used to describe the breast- and backplates together. Developed in antiquity but became common in the 14th century with the reintroduction of plate armour, later sometimes two pieces overlapping for top and bottom. Whether of one piece or two, breastplate is sometimes used to literally describe the section that covers the breast.
|Pixane or Standard
|A mail collar. In common with a gorget, it is not like a modern shirt collar. Rather, it is a circle with a hole for the neck to fit through. It covers the shoulders, breast and upper back, perhaps like an extremely small poncho.
|Extra layer of armour to cover the belly.
|Bands to protect the front waist and hips, attached to cuirass.
|Small, horizontal lames that protect the small of the back or the buttocks, attached to a backplate or cuirass.
|Plate that guards the elbow, eventually became articulated, may be covered by guard of vambrace (see below).
|Bands of plate that cover the shoulder and part of upper arm but not the armpit.
|Cover the shoulder (with a dome shaped piece called a shoulder cop), armpit and sometimes the back and chest.
|Extra plate that covers the front of the shoulder, worn over top of a pauldron.
|Rerebrace or Brassart or Upper Cannon (of Vambrace)
|Plate that covers the section of upper arm from elbow to area covered by shoulder armour.
|Circular plate that covers the armpit, typically worn with spaulders.
|Vambrace or Lower Cannon (of Vambrace)
|Forearm guard. May be solid metal or splints of metal attached to a leather backing. Developed in antiquity but named in the 14th century. Vambrace may also sometimes refer to parts of armour that together cover the lower and upper arms.
|Gloves that cover from the fingers to the forearms, made from many materials.
|Guard of vambrace
|An additional layer of armour that goes over cowter, in which case it is proper to speak of the lower cannon of the vambrace which is the forearm guard, and the upper cannon of vambrace which is the rerebrace.
|Mail hosen, either knee-high or cover the whole leg.
|Plate that covers the knee, appeared early in the transition from mail to plate, later articulated to connect with the cuisses and schynbald or greave. Often with fins or rondel to cover gaps.
|13th to 15th
|Antiquity, lost but later reintroduced. Plate that covered only the shins, not the whole lower leg.
|Covers the lower leg, front and back, made from a variety of materials, but later most often plate.
|Plate that cover the thighs, made of various materials depending upon period.
|Sabaton or Solleret
|Covers the foot, often mail or plate.
|Tasset or Tuille
|Bands hanging from faulds or breastplate to protect the upper legs.
|Mail that protects areas not covered by plate.
|Band of steel plate, put together severally so that several bands can articulate on various areas like around the thighs, shoulders or waist. Such pieces are named for the number of bands, for instance, a fauld of four lame.
|Doublet or Arming Doublet
|Padded cloth worn under a harness.
|Any circular plate. Rondels protecting various areas may have particular names, such as a besagew protecting the shoulder joint.

Basic Concepts
• Ion implantation is the dominant method of doping used today. In spite of
creating enormous lattice damage it is favored because:
• Large range of doses - 1011 to 1016 /cm2
• Extremely accurate dose control
• Essential for MOS VT control
• Buried (retrograde) profiles are possible
• Low temperature process
• Wide choice of masking materials
• There are also some
significant disadvantages:
• Damage to crystal.
• Anomalous transiently
enhanced diffusion (TED).
upon annealing this damage.
• Charging of insulating
• At its heart ion implantation is a random
• High energy ions (1-1000keV) bombard
the substrate and lose energy through
nuclear collisions and electronic drag forces.
• Profiles can often be described
by a Gaussian distribution, with
a projected range and standard
deviation. (200keV implants
where Q is the dose in ions cm-2 and is
measured by the integrated beam current.
Ranges and standard deviation ∆Rp of dopants in randomly oriented silicon.
• Monte Carlo simulations of the
random trajectories of a group of ions
implanted at a spot on the wafer show
the 3-D spatial distribution of the ions.
(1000 phosphorus ions at 35 keV.)
• Side view (below) shows Rp and ∆Rp
while the beam direction view shows
the lateral straggle.
• The two-dimensional distribution is often assumed to be composed of just the
product of the vertical and lateral distributions.
• Now consider what happens at a mask edge - if the mask is thick enough to block
the implant, the lateral profile under the mask is determined by the lateral straggle.
(35keV and 120keV As implants at the edge of a poly gate from Alvis et al.)
(Reprinted with permission of J. Vac. Science and Technology.)
• The description of the profile at the mask edge is given by a sum of point
response Gaussian functions, which leads to an error function distribution under
the mask. (See page 7 of class notes on diffusion for a similar analysis.)
• How thick does a mask have to be?
• For masking,
• Calculating the required mask thickness,
• The dose that penetrates the mask is given by
C. Profile Evolution During Annealing
• Comparing Eqn. (1) with the Gaussian
profile from the last set of notes, we see
that ∆Rp is equivalent to . Thus
• The only other profile we can calculate
analytically is when the implanted
Gaussian is shallow enough that it can
be treated as a delta function and the
subsequent anneal can be treated as a
one-sided Gaussian. (Recall example in
Chapter 7 notes.)
• Real implanted profiles are more complex.
• Light ions backscatter to skew the profile up.
• Heavy ions scatter deeper.
• 4 moment descriptions of these profiles are
often used (with tabulated values for these
Std. Dev:
• Real structures may be even more
complicated because mask edges
or implants are not vertical.
D. Implants in Real Silicon - Channeling
• At least until it is damaged by the
implant, Si is a crystalline material.
• Channeling can produce unexpectedly
deep profiles.
• Screen oxides and tilting/rotating the
wafer can minimize but not eliminate
these effects. (7˚ tilt is common.)
• Sometimes a dual Pearson profile
description is useful.
• Note that the channeling decreases
in the high dose implant (green
curve) because damage blocks the
• The total energy loss during an ion
trajectory is given by the sum of nuclear
and electronic losses (these can be
treated independently).
A. Nuclear Stopping
• An incident ion scatters off the core charge on
an atomic nucleus, modeled to first order by a
screened Coulomb scattering potential.
• This potential is integrated along the path of the
ion to calculate the scattering angle. (Look-up
tables are often used in practice.)
• Sn(E) in Eqn. (14) can be approximated as shown
below where Z1, m1 = ion and Z2, m2 = substrate.
B. Non-Local and Local Electronic Stopping
• Drag force caused by charged ion in
"sea" of electrons (non-local electronic
• Collisions with electrons around
atoms transfers momentum and
results in local electronic stopping.
• To first order,
C. Total Stopping Power
• The critical energy Ec when the nuclear
and electronic stopping are equal is
B: ≈ 17keV
P: ≈ 150keV
As, Sb : > 500keV
• Thus at high energies, electronic
stopping dominates; at low energy,
nuclear stopping dominates.
• Consider a 30keV arsenic ion, which has
a range of 25 nm, traversing roughly 100
atomic planes.
• Molecular dynamics simulation of a
5keV Boron ion implanted into silicon
[de la Rubia, LLNL].
• Note that some of the damage anneals
out between 0.5 and 6 psec (point
defects recombining).
• For high enough doses, the crystal becomes amorphous and loses all long range
order. At this point, the arrangement of lattice atoms is random and the damage
accumulation has saturated.
• Cross sectional TEM images of amorphous layer formation with increasing
implant dose (300keV Si -> Si) [Rozgonyi]
• Note that a buried amorphous layer forms first and a substantially higher dose is
needed before the amorphous layer extends all the way to the surface.
• These ideas suggest preamorphizing the substrate with a Si (or Ge) implant to
prevent channeling when dopants are later implanted.
Damage Annealing - Solid Phase Epitaxy
• If the substrate is amorphous,
it can regrow by SPE.
• In the SPE region, all damage
is repaired and dopants are
activated onto substitutional
• Cross sectional TEM images of
amorphous layer regrowth at
525˚C, from a 200keV, 6e15 cm-2
Sb implant.
• In the tail region, the material is not amorphized.
• Damage beyond the a/c interface can nucleate
stable, secondary defects and cause transient
enhanced diffusion (TED).
Goals: • Remove primary damage created by the implant and activate the dopants.
• Restore silicon lattice to its perfect crystalline state.
• Restore the electron and hole mobility.
• Do this without appreciable dopant redistribution.
• In regions where SPE does not take place
(not amorphized), damage is removed by
point defect recombination.
• Bulk and surface recombination take place
on a short time scale.
• "+1" I excess remains. These
I coalesce into {311} defects
which are stable for longer
• {311} defects anneal out in sec
to min at moderate temperatures
(800 - 1000˚C) but eject I TED.
• When the substrate is amorphous, SPE provides an ideal way of repairing the
damage and activating dopants (except that EOR damage may remain).
• At lower implant doses, activation is much more complex because stable defects
• Plot (above left) of fractional activation versus anneal temperature for boron.
• Reverse annealing (above right) is thought to occur because of a competition
between the native interstitial point defects and the boron atoms for lattice sites.
• TED is the result of interstitial damage from
the implant enhancing the dopant diffusion
for a brief transient period.
• It is the dominant effect today that determines
junction depths in shallow profiles.
• It is anomalous diffusion, because profiles can
diffuse more at low temperatures than at high
temperatures for the same Dt.
• The basic model for TED assumes that all the
implant damage recombines rapidly, leaving
only 1 interstitial generated per dopant atom
when the dopant atom occupies a
substitutional site (the +1 model) [Giles].
• TED effects may be very non-local.
• After 900˚C, 1 sec anneal, the amorphous As
surface profile recrystalizes by SPE without
much TED.
• The buried boron layer is drastically affected
by the +1 interstitials in the As tail region.
Atomic Level Understanding Of TED
• {311} clusters form rapidly and then are
stable for extended periods (sec - min),
driving TED by emitting I while they
• By 0.1 sec (750˚C), the {311} defects have
formed and CI is down to ≈ 1013 cm-3
• But ≈ 108 cm-3 at 750˚C, so the
enhancement is > 105!
• On a much larger time scale, the {311}
clusters decay.
• These act as an ongoing source of excess
interstitials which drives TED.
• TED lasts hours at very low T, minutes
at intermediate T and msec at very high T.
• Given this picture, we can model the
{311} behavior as follows:
(where Cln is a cluster with n interstitials)
• The most important part of the transient is while the {311} clusters are evaporating
I, maintaining a constant supersaturation of I.
• During this period, dopant diffusivity enhancements are ≈ constant and given
by (see text):
• Note that the diffusivity enhancement is as
large as 10,000 at low T and falls off to 100 -
1000 at RTA temperatures.
• These calculated values agree with
experimental measurements.
Estimating the Duration of TED
• Over time the interstitial supersaturation
decays to zero and TED ends.
• Example - Boron TED (TSUPREM IV).
Note that CI/has dropped from 104 to
102 in 10 min at 750˚C.
• The excess I diffuse into the bulk and
recombine at the surface.
• Note the relatively flat interstitial
profiles (dashed) except at the surface
where recombination is occurring.
• The flux towards the surface is
where RP is the range of the implant.
• The time to dissolve the clusters is given
by the dose divided by the flux (see text):
• Plot of Eqn. 22. This matches the experimental
data on page 18 of these notes (Fig. 8-33 in text).
• Note that TED persists for hours at low T and
disappears in msec at very high T.
• Thus the general picture of TED that emerges is
as shown on the lower left.
• Because the {311} clusters exist for much longer
times at low T, there can actually be greater
dopant motion during low T anneals (below).
• 2D SUPREM simulation of small MOS
• Ion implantation in the S/D regions
generates excess I. These diffuse into the
channel region pushing boron (channel
dopant) up towards the surface.
• Effect is more pronounced in smaller
• Result is that VTH depends on
channel length (the "reverse short
channel effect" only recently
(See text - Chpt. 7 - for more details on this example.)
• Ion implantation provides great flexibility and excellent control of implanted
• Since implanted ion energies are >> Si-Si binding energy (≈ 15 eV), many Si
lattice atoms are displaced from lattice positions by incoming ions.
• This damage accumulates with implanted dose and can completely amorphize
the substrate at high doses.
• The open structure of the silicon lattice leads to ion channeling and complex
as-implanted profiles.
• TED is the biggest single problem with ion implantation because it leads to
huge enhancements in dopant diffusivity.
• Understanding of TED has led to methods to control it (RTA annealing).
• Nevertheless, achieving the shallow junctions required by the NTRS will be a
challenge in the future since ion implantation appears to be the technology

Love shayri Tag Sms
Love me now, love me never,
but if you love me, love me forever.
Ur words r ANTIBIOTICS,
Ur smile is ANALGESIC,
Ur touch is ANTI-INFLAMATORY,
Ur presence is ANTISEPTIC,
Ur SMS is ANTI-PYRETIC…
That-s why I never fall ill
It breaks your heart to see the one you love is happy
with someone else, but it-s more painful to know that
the one you love is unhappy with you.
Oh, I shouldn-t care or wonder where and how you are. But I can-t hide this hurt inside my broken heart. I-m fighting back emotions that I-ve never fought before, 'cause I-m not supposed to love you anymore.
Simple Bye makes us cry,
Simple joke makes us Laugh,
Simple care makes us fall in Luv,
Simple Touch makes us feel better,
But i hope my simple MSG makes u smile!
Unhe chahana meri kamzori hai unse kehnahi pana meri majburihai woh kyun nahi samajte meri khamoshi kokya pyr ka izharkarna zarurihai
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart
I may b busy wit d things i do, but i wont 4get some1 as sweet as u, so I-m keepin in touch to let u know dat u r in my mind more often than i show.
hearts change,i know they do… but this heart will always belong to u…hearts hurt, i know they do… but this heart hurts more without you…..
If u thnk of sum1 to share ur happines,
U Luv tat persn alot
If u thnk of sum1 to melt ur pain when ur in tears, Dat persn Luvs u alot !

Allegedly, Microsoft extensively tests new patches before it ships a service pack. And, new service packs are supposed to improve things, right? If you apply those criteria to Service Pack 5 (SP5), you might wonder whether SP stands for Sabotage Pack. Regarding RAS, RRAS, and DUN, SP5 seems to break as much as it fixes.
Let's quickly recap why, from a RAS perspective, you might decide to install SP5. The following list outlines the major SP4 bugs that SP5 promises to fix:
- You receive a Dr. Watson visit when you use a shortcut to launch DUN.
- A handle leak occurs when applications use the RasDial API (i.e., the process token handles open but never close).
- The RAS Connection Manager causes rasman.exe access-violation errors as a result of long command lines.
- Unattended RRAS setup fails.
- You experience access-violation errors when you add demand-dial interfaces in the RRAS administrator tool.
- RRAS connections time out on slow links.
- RRAS stops responding to calls under heavy loads and fails to work when you set the number of rings to 0.
Considering this fairly scary-sounding list of bugs, SP5 seems like a good idea to most NT RAS administrators. After all, can SP5 really make things any worse? Unfortunately, SP5 introduces brand-new problems. The following quick tour details the most notable SP5 RAS problems. (You can find most post-SP5 hotfixes at ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/ winnt- public/fixes/usa/nt40/hotfixes-postsp5.)
Malformed phonebook entry security problem. Intentionally malformed DUN phonebook entries can cause buffer overruns, which attackers can use to exploit a security vulnerability on RAS clients. This bug exposes a security vulnerability that lets an intruder run applications to gain escalated security privileges and launch Denial of Service (DoS) attacks on a RAS client. To resolve this problem, which Microsoft outlines in "Malformed Phonebook Entry Security Vulnerability in RAS Client" (http://support.microsoft.com/ support/kb/ articles/q230/6/77.asp), install the RAS-fix hotfix.
DUN passwords erroneously cached with RAS. You're probably familiar with the RAS/DUN dialog box that pops up when you establish a connection to a remote system. This dialog box includes a Save password check box that tells the system to cache a password for a connection. However, after you install SP5, the Save password feature functions differently. Regardless of whether you select the Save password check box, RAS caches your password in the Registry. This bug can lead to unauthorized parties discovering your password and making unauthorized connections to remote networks. Microsoft details this problem in "DUN Credentials Cached When Save Password Not Selected with RAS" (http://support.microsoft.com/ support/kb/articles/q230/6/81.asp). To solve this problem, use the RASPassworddialer-fix hotfix.
DUN passwords erroneously cached with RRAS. This bug is identical to the RAS password-caching problem, except that this problem affects RRAS. You can read more about this problem in the Microsoft article "DUN Credentials Cached When Save Password Not Selected with RRAS" (http://support.microsoft.com/ support/kb/articles/q233/3/03.asp), and you can find the RRASPassword-fix hotfix at ftp://ftp.microsoft.com.
The bugs I've listed are only the major bugs that users have unearthed so far. Since Microsoft released SP5, a new bug—followed by a corresponding hotfix—appears almost daily. If you're considering installing the SP5 workarounds or any hotfixes, remember to first test the fixes in a nonproduction environment and remember Microsoft's disclaimer about hotfixes: "A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available but it has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem."
SP6 will be available by the time you read this column. However, don't set your expectations too high—Microsoft has already posted a post-SP6 hotfix to fix a major RAS-related security hole even though SP6 isn't available yet. Given my experiences with SP4 and SP5, I think I'll perform my own regression testing before I deploy SP6 on any of my mission-critical servers.

A life insurance policy is typically a long term financial commitment towards buying risk protection. Given the long term nature of the product where you are required to pay premiums for say between 10-30 years, it is extremely essential to be sure of what you are buying. Needless to say, the decision to choose a product should be taken after careful comparisons of available products in the market to ensure we get the right product for our specific needs. Even so, every once in a while, one may end up realising that the product bought by him or sold to him is not the right one. It is for scenarios such as these that the insurance regulatory framework in India provides customers with a Free-Look period during which one can return the policy to the insurer and get a refund of the premium paid.
What is free-look period?
Guidelines issued by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) allow customers an option to review their decision to purchase a particular life insurance policy and return the policy to the insurer if you so desire and get a refund of your premium. The duration of this period during which you could return the policy is 15 days from the date of receipt of policy.
Why is there a free-look period?
These guidelines allows customer to review the policy in greater detail after having received it and to go through the policy wordings, terms and conditions so as to satisfy themselves about having made the right purchase. This gives you an opportunity to cross check your understanding of the product and what you thought if offers basis your interaction with any sales personnel or intermediaries with the actual document(s) which detail the product features, benefits and costs. In case you reach the conclusion that the product is not what you thought it was for any reasons whatsoever, including having been mis-sold the policy, you can return the policy to the insurance company and ask for a refund of your premium.
How do I go about completing a free-look cancellation?
One needs to keep in mind that the free-look period is available for only 15 days from the date of receipt of policy. It is therefore important to review your policy documents at the earliest. Post review, if you take a decision to return the policy under the free-look period then you will need to contact the insurance company to communicate your decision to cancel the policy as a free-look cancellation. You will not be required to give any reasons or explanations for your decision.
Most insurance companies will typically want you to fill up a cancellation form clearly stating that the action being taken by you is under the free-look cancellation feature. You would also be required to return the original policy documents along with the cancellation form. Most companies will have standard cancellation forms available on their websites. Alternately, you could contact their customer services departments/call centres or walk into on their branches/offices to get assistance in completing the process.
Will I get a complete refund of my premium?
You will not get a complete refund of your premium. Certain charges such as stamp duty and / or the medical examination fees, if any, may be deducted from the premium amount and the balance will be refunded to you.

This Thing is a Perfect Holiday Gift*
Poll 10 people. 8 of them are going to be bonkers for the tea and its accessories.
Here's the thing: While some of the flavours are concerning, many are recognizable and of rather high quality. Moreover, the accessories and marketing at David's Tea pull all the punches. In addition to the most adorable tea boxes and mugs and tins of tea available, this store also stocks an amazing little gizmo - one even I can get with:
It's called the Steeper (as you can see) and it comes in two sizes. The 18 oz is about 20 bucks and it makes a perfect cup of loose leaf tea with utterly NO fuss. You simply put the leaves into the carafe and then add water till the carafe is 3/4 full, steep and - this is the cool part - put the carafe atop your cup, press down and the tea pours through a gate at the base. Rinse the carafe with water to get rid of the residue. That's the whole story.
Did I mention that it looks great?
Wrap this up (it's boxed) with some leaves and you've got an affordable gift for under 40 bucks.
You're welcome.
PS: Nobody's paying me to say this.
*And while you're at it, get one for yourself (unless you're my mother).
10 comments:
I'm a tea traditionalist (we drink loose tea here, a blend of Russian Caravan and Lapsang Souchong, bought through the venerable BC very-Brit-colonial Murchies), and I was very skeptical of the whole Davids thing. But then my sister got me a tin of the Cinnamon Rooibos Chai and hello! No artifical ingredients, and it's delish, great for a late-day non-caffeine treat. . . And that steeper does look helpful (although I'm trying to eschew all the tea gadgets, having somehow collected drawers-ful, even though I really don't mind the leaves!)ReplyDeleteReplies
That's a really popular flavour, apparently. I'm going to try the new Vanilla Chai (though sometimes vanilla in tea is weird). Really, you have to get this gadget. I bought one for myself and I use it CONSTANTLY at work.Delete
Time to fess up: I don't care for tea at all. Unless I'm so very I'll. But, that would make a good gift. Thanks for the tip!ReplyDeleteReplies
Good thing you told me! :-)Delete
- AnonymousNovember 26, 2014 at 12:23 PM
I have that steeper and can attest to how wonderful it is! Makes brewing loose tea so simple and easy. I stick to the traditional David's teas. My nightly ritual is steeping the loose organic peppermint tea in my handy, dandy teapot! Ah.. so relaxing!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it, Anon!Delete
- Replies
I know! Teavana sells one online (on sale till 11/30 for 12 bucks). Even with crazy shipping it's a deal.Delete
There is only one tea: Green. Antioxidant, mildly waker-uppering and aids digestion. Dunk bag in cup. Throw away bag. Sorted. XxReplyDeleteReplies
Ha! You are so wrong! I hate green tea. But it's hard to quibble with teabags. I get that. :-)Delete

Soulja Boy inspired by Shakespeare
Soulja Boy inspired by Shakespeare
Soulja Boy is inspired by Shakespeare.
The 'Crank That' rapper claims the English playwright - who died in 1616 and is widely acknowledged as the greatest in Western history - has had a profound effect on his career, in particular a quote from his play 'Hamlet'.
He told Spin magazine: "The quote, 'To be or not to be' represents having no fear in whatever you do in life. It says if you're going to pursue something you go at it with everything you got.
"When I decide what type of music I'm going to create in the studio, I think about that saying and what I'll be representing. If I'm going to make music for the streets or the clubs or whatever, I go at it with 110 percent."
For more contemporary inspiration, the 21-year-old singer looks to Tupac Shakur, one of the most successful rappers of the 90s, who was shot dead in Las Vegas in 1996.
Soulja Boy added: "'All Eyez On Me' by Tupac is my favourite album. Tupac was on some other s**t when he made that album.
"He was so far ahead of other rappers. I hope one day I can put out an album that sells 10 million copies. Tupac is incredibly inspiring as a person and musician."

Pennsylvania Ballet -'Rhythm and Blues'
'Fearful Symmetries,' 'The Crossed Line,' 'Blue Until June'
Pennsylvania Ballet Goes Red, Blue, and Modern
by Lori Ibay
April 15 evening and April 17, 2004 matinee -- Merriam Theater, Philadelphia
In the second to last program of their 2003-2004 season, Pennsylvania Ballet switched gears with "Rhythm and Blues," a gala program featuring works by contemporary choreographers Peter Martins, Trey McIntyre, and Pennsylvania Ballet (PAB) company member Matthew Neenan.
The modern-flavored program opened with Peter Martins' "Fearful Symmetries," a plotless ballet set to a racing score by John Adams. Sitting comfortably in my chair, I was instantly brought to the edge of my seat by the pulsating energy of the music. Dancers costumed in red matched the frenzied energy of the score beat for beat with quick, sharp movements and focused intensity.
As I watched the twenty-three performers move against a backdrop that melted into deeper reds and cooler blues, it took me just a moment to realize that not only was I hearing the music -- I felt as though I was watching the music as well. Couples moved together with controlled recklessness; bodies created angles and unusual shapes; and the solid groundwork of a corps of three men, six women, and four pairs translated the frenetic sounds into motion.
As the music reached its climax, the two principal couples, soloist couple, and the corps amalgamated for a high-impact ensemble finish that had the revved-up audience shouting and applauding. However, the piece was not quite over, and the applause was slow to fade as the stage simmered to a cool blue and the ensemble peeled away to leave with the two principal couples poised in a final symmetric tableau.
The second time I saw the piece, I ran into the theater ten minutes late after dodging traffic to cross Broad Street -- and standing out of breath at the back of the balcony, I didn't feel quite the same energy from the stage as I did a few nights before. Maybe it was the effects of distance, or perhaps the dancers were feeling some Saturday matinee sluggishness -- or maybe my own relatively frantic state dulled the frenzy on stage. However, the view from my perch gave me a greater appreciation of the ensemble's precise unison and the corps' wonderfully symmetric, quickly transitioning formations.
The premiere of Matthew Neenan's "The Crossed Line" followed a brief intermission. Evolving from a piece Neenan developed on three couples at the New York Choreographic Institute last September, "The Crossed Line" is set to Chopin piano concertos transcribed for piano, violin, and cello and features six couples in costumes designed by principal dancer Martha Chamberlain.
The abstract piece explores relationships and boundaries. In nine segments, the twelve dancers express passionate emotions -- a pair pushes each other through a confrontational pas de deux, an oblivious dancer weaves through a couple and forms a pas de trois, a dancer is tossed over her partner's head and caught by another, someone is dragged off by her feet, a couple slowdances, a woman sits swaying in her partner's arms.
As emotions shift, the choreography takes unexpected turns -- circles open into lines, a soloist pushes through a line of dancers like a turnstile, and were we supposed to see that dancer run across the stage behind the scrim before entering from the wings? Neenan's crisp choreography, creativity, and innovativeness are refreshingly unpredictable, and I look forward to seeing more work from him in future seasons.
The performance closed with Trey McIntyre's "Blue Until June," a crowd pleasing ballet set to songs of Etta James. With James' bluesy, soulful vocals and the dancers costumed in breezy pastels, the audience was transported to a different era while a superb cast of eight (Christine Cox, Riolama Lorenzo, Brian Debes, Tara Keating, James Ady, Edward Cieslak, Neil Marshall, and Philip Colucci at the first performance and Hawley Rowe, Meredith Reffner, James Ihde, Keating, Ady, Cieslak, Michael Patterson, and Jonathan Stiles at the second) rendered timeless vignettes of heartache and love.
Standout performances came from Christine Cox, who opened the piece pouring her heart out in a passionate solo to "You Can't Talk to a Fool" and later returning in "I'd Rather Go Blind." In the same role at the second performance, Hawley Rowe loosened up as she danced, eventually flinging herself desperately into the other seven dancers clustered behind her.
James Ady and Edward Cieslak conveyed the most emotion, dancing a heartwrenching pas de deux to "Fool That I Am" before they broke away and exited at opposite ends of the stage, Ady hand in hand with a woman waiting in the wings. Philip Colucci, staggering onstage with hair and clothes in disarray, danced a deliciously lovesick, drunken solo to "One for My Baby" and returned for the finale neatly groomed (and sans the gray streak in his hair that all the other dancers donned) for a heartwarming pas de deux with Tara Keating to James' classic hit, "At Last."Pennsylvania Ballet ends its season with the highly anticipated world premiere of Christopher Wheeldon's "Swan Lake" June 4 through June 12.

Rub of the green favours Woods
A Tiger Woods victory at the US Open would provide a significant boost to the game. Those who question such a notion may have forgotten the level of global interest when Woods achieves success on the biggest stage given it has been five years since the world No1 triumphed at a major.other Updated: Jun 13, 2013 02:12 IST
A Tiger Woods victory at the US Open would provide a significant boost to the game. Those who question such a notion may have forgotten the level of global interest when Woods achieves success on the biggest stage given it has been five years since the world No1 triumphed at a major.
Yet for all the respective brilliance Ernie Els, Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott have displayed in claiming the last three major championships, when Woods wins the rest of the world sits up and takes notice. The American is instantly identifiable, more than any other golfer and the vast majority of other sports stars. For an entire generation he retains an allure which should not be underestimated.
At Merion, Woods must prove something to himself – his return to the summit of the game can be endorsed by winning a 15th major. Albeit he has had serious injury problems as well as personal ones therein, at various points since 2008 Woods has been in with a chance of winning a major only to fall short.
In pursuit
Given his start to 2013, with four wins on the US PGA Tour already, there will be questions asked about Woods should he continue to stumble in majors. As the 37-year-old looks to continue his pursuit of Jack Nicklaus' majors haul of 18, Merion offers a perfect opportunity.
"I think if he wins one this year Nicklaus' record could be back on again," says Colin Montgomer-ie. "But this year is vital, he has got to win one this year. Everyone says he's back but no one will say he's truly back until he wins another one."
This US Open, at the famously narrow and short Pennsylvania course – it measures just under 7,000 yards – sees Woods established as the clear favourite.
"At Sawgrass I hit a few three woods that were going more than 300 yards because the conditions were right," he explains. "If we get the same at Merion, where it dries out and you get the ball running with the slopes, getting the ball running 300 yards with three woods, that's ample far to get you to the spots you need to get to."
Scott Nye, who has been the head professional at Merion for 13 years, offers further insight into aspects of the course which should appeal to Woods.
"The player who has experience and patience has more of an opportunity to succeed than a less experienced player who might try to overpower the course," he says.
"On a lot of holes, the fairways are not parallel to the tee, they sit at an angle, so regular shots can put a player in trouble.
And because the guys will be hitting shorter clubs from some tees, there is a bigger margin for error with their five or six iron into the greens than if they were hitting nine iron or wedge.
A potentially key aspect for the hopes of Woods and others is the weather after a large volume of rain fell on Monday and with the possibility it could return in the week.
"Rain would make a big difference to the player who hits it right down the middle as it would mean he could be much more aggressive," says Nye.
Woods will hope to be the one who stays calm.
Once again, the eyes of the golfing world will be fixed on whether he can finally follow through on early promise and end his run without a major.
