SAN FRANCISCO, CA., April 7, 2000 -- Raymond C. Creech has been named president of the Secure Digital Association (SDA). The SDA is a new industry-wide organization that was established in January, 2000, to set industry standards for the Secure Digital Memory Card and promote its wide acceptance in digital applications.
Creech has more than 27 years experience in the semiconductor industry. He held various marketing and sales management positions with several firms including Fujitsu Microelectronics, AMD, Catalyst Semiconductor, Synertek and Semico Research. His appointment is effective immediately.
More than 70 companies are in the process of joining the SDA and total membership is expected to be approximately 100 companies later this year. The Secure Digital Memory Card was introduced in August, 1999, by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (NYSE:MC), best known by its Panasonic brand name, SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) and Toshiba Corporation. The stamp-sized flash memory card will offer a high-level of copyright protection and high density memory capacity. The association expects that starting this year, the card will be widely used in numerous consumer electronics products including Internet music players, cellular phones, digital cameras, handheld computers and camcorders.
Dan Auclair, senior vice president of business development and licensing for SanDisk, said, "Ray Creech is an excellent choice to head the SDA because of his vast experience in the semiconductor industry and his many years of working with both U.S. and Japanese companies." Auclair has been serving as the SDA's interim president.


Living with mental health problems can be life changing and can affect anyone, at any time.
Charity Heads On – the official partner of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust – supports people with mental health problems, funding special projects, pioneering research and the transformation of mental health hospitals into more comfortable and welcoming environments.
The charity is on a mission to make March 11 the happiest day in Sussex – by getting people to use the 'power of a smile'.
Rachael Duke, head of the charity, said: "We are asking everyone across Sussex to come together on Friday, March 11, and show their support for people with mental health problems, something one in four of us experience but often don't talk about.
"What better way to show your support than by bringing out your silly side for a good cause?
"All you need to do is dress up, show us a smile, and make a donation that will help make life smiles better for the people we look after at Sussex Partnership.
Projects supported by Head's On include supporting Sussex Recovery College which offers courses about mental health and recovery and buying toys and games for looked after children.
A spokeswoman for Heads On said the toys help put children at ease, and increase the trust between children and staff which helps them to build stronger relationships.
The funds have also contributed to a sensory room for people living with dementia, an outing to London for people with severe and chronic mental health problems, activities for children and young people and art projects at the Hellingly Centre which provides services for mentally ill offenders.
Anisa Ahmed, fundraising Officer at Heads On said: "The Big Grin is your chance to show your support for people with mental health problems and have some fun while raising money for the people we care for who are having a tough time.
The charity has suggested supporting The Big Grin by wearing fancy dress, a Head's On mask, or even a sticker.
Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust provides NHS mental health services throughout Sussex, including Langley Green and Meadowfield Hospital, Amberstone and the Hellingly Centre.
The trust offers treatment for people with conditions such as psychosis, depression, anxiety, dementia, personality disorder and learning disabilities.
To sign up for The Big Grin email headsoncharity@sussexpartnership.nhs.uk or call Anisa Ahmed on 07469 351456.
To donate text GRIN16 followed by the amount you want to donate to 70070. To find out more or donate online visit www.headsoncharity.org/donate or send a cheque to Heads On, Swandean, Arundel Road, Worthing, BN13 3EP.


With student numbers growing and demand for modern, state-of-the-art facilities increasing, Cambridge Regional College needed to invest in College services and resources. After deploying a Ricoh Production Print facility, the College now provides students and staff with a business-class print service. As well as supporting improved learning services and helping the College achieve ISO environmental management accreditation, it has also improved control and management of print costs.


Time flies even when we aren't paying attention. Family and friends are important to have through the tough times teenagers go through.
but those years were definitely the best.
I'll miss my friends dearly.
Oh, how they have shaped me to be the best me I can be.
Time flies, so enjoy it while it lasts.
Work hard and do well, but make it a blast.
but the real world is awaiting, it's your time to glow.
It's your time, and no one can stop you.
Trust me, life will shock you.
but whatever gets in your way, find a different route.
and when you succeed, please don't forget me.

Most silicon based detectors are sensitive predominantly in the visible region. To extend their sensitivity further into the UV and IR regions, surface modification techniques can be employed. In addition, there is always a need for biocompatible, eco-friendly, and cost effective devices for bio-medical applications. Therefore, devices fabricated using silicon and titanium can enable the fabrication of affordable health care devices. Another critical factor that plays a major role in controlling the device performance is its surface wettability. Tuning the surface energy and thus its wettability can improve the stability, passivation, self-cleaning, and anti-aging properties of device surfaces. In this paper, we present a method for tuning the surface wettability with enhanced optical absorption in the UV-Vis-NIR regions. We optimize the titanium coatings on silicon substrates and demonstrate how the controlled deposition of film thickness and annealing temperature or time can affect the self-cleaning behavior and light localization with anti-reflection properties of surfaces. We take the combined advantage of the anti-reflective properties of anatase or rutile phases of oxides of titanium (TiOx) and the nature of opto-semiconductor Schottky barrier Ti-O-Si formed at the titanium and silicon interface for the improved absorption in a wide spectral range of radiation ranging from 200 nm (UV) to 3000 nm (short-wavelength infrared) wavelengths. An average optical reflectance tuned to less than 10% and absorbance greater than 70% can be obtained. Further, these coatings act as a protective encapsulation by possessing a hydrophobic surface with water contact angles < 100°.

Q: Why exactly isn't this solve valid Assume $x^2+x+1=0$ --①
Thus   $x+1=-x^2$ --②
Since $x=0$ is not a root of ①, thus divide both side of ① by x to get
$x+1+\frac{1}{x}=0$,
Since ②, we have
$-x^2+\frac {1}{x}=0$
Thus $x^3=1$ and thus $x=1$.
I know that the other two complex roots of $x^3$ is root for the original equation, and I know there's something wrong with the dividing part, but what exact principle did it break?

A: The overall effect of your manipulations (dividing by $x$, subtracting, and multiplying by $x$) is to say $$x^2+x+1=0 \\ \implies (x-1)(x^2+x+1)=0 \\ \implies x^3-1=0  \\ \implies x^3=1$$  and there is nothing wrong with those as one-way implications.
That final equation gives has three complex roots, one of which is $x=1$.  But that one is in fact not a root to the first equation.  This spurious solution was introduced by the multiplication by $(x-1)$, which is $0$ when $x=1$.

Powers/Abilities: Bill Williams was a good race car driver.
(Marvel Comics I#1/7) - Bill Williams had entered another race with his car the Blue Bird. The car's shoddy exterior hid a powerful engine, according to Williams' mechanic, Fred Turner.
(Marvel Comics I#1/7 (fb) - BTS) - For years the pair toiled, saving everything they could and scavenge to design and build the Blue Bird. One of the things they worked on was a new model of gas feeder that Bill hoped would be profitable. Fred had some reservations about the design, fearing a possible explosion risk due to the design.
(Marvel Comics I#1/7) - Bill was depressed as the gathered crowd laughed at the patchwork car. A pep talk from Fred perked up his spirits as the race started. Ann, Bill's long-time girlfriend, sat on the edge of her seat as the race started and Fred joined her in the stands. He told her of Bill's plan, namely if the Blue Bird performed well enough he would retire from racing and sell their engine design to C.G. Clark the automotive manufacturer. As the race started, the Blue Bird started out well enough. One quick turn later, however, and the gas feeder began to leak gas. Smoke began to pour out of the car's engine as Ann flagged Bill out of the race. Bill angrily told her off, thinking she was trying to sabotage his race when C.G. Clark arrived and told Bill off for telling Ann off. Clark was impressed enough with the engine design that he decided to buy it from Bill and Fred.
Comments: Created by Ray Gill and Sam Gillman.
The car's name changes between Blue Bird and Lady Bird. Also, there was only one illustration in the text story, but there was nothing to indicate that it was Bill Williams.
Ann was Bill's long-time girlfriend and attended school with Ruth Clark, C.G. Clark's daughter. Ann flagged Bill out of the race and got Clark to talk to Bill.
Father of Ruth, C.G. Clark was the head of his own car company, and bought Bill and Fred's engine design.
Bill's friend, Fred Turner was the mechanic for the Blue Bird and had Ann flag Bill out of the race when the car was in trouble. He got the car's designs to C.G. Clark.

NEW YORK - Lin Mun Poo, a Malaysian who was accused of hacking a computer network of the Federal Reserve or the Federal Reserve in Cleveland captured secret agent the United States (U.S.).
Performer 32-year-old is known to have to break 400,000 credit card numbers. Poo Mun Lin was arrested at John F. Airport Kennedy last month when he travels to New York to meet with other hackers. He was to the United States suspected of utilizing some of the stolen information.

Hard to believe it was just a month ago that I was writing November's Small Step: Neutralize the Onslaught offering tips on how to get through Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Years without completely abandoning fitness goals. Now that December's upon us and we're only half-way through the onslaught, it's time to either double down on your strategy or (if you strayed from the plan somewhere between the turkey and pumpkin pie) pick yourself up and get back on the horse. This is no time to be throwing new habits your way. So, December's Small Step is really just a recap of November's.
This time of year throws us off our usual habits, be it eating in moderation or exercising regularly. Foods that we would normally need to seek out are suddenly everywhere and in abundance – desserts, alcohol and low nutrient snacks. Simultaneously, all the holiday chores and responsibilities fill up our days and nights, squeezing out workout time.
For many, the strategy is to white-knuckle it through from October 31st to January 2nd. They resolve to avoid all temptations. But those two months can be mighty long. How many times will you actually substitute carrot sticks for pie, egg nog and toffee covered popcorn? Once? Twice? If you manage to do it three times, you're a more disciplined person than I.
Eventually, we all give in. And, if our strategy is all or nothing – or, in this case, nothing or everything – when we finally do give in, we binge and give up the strategy altogether until the new year. It's human nature.
Condition #1: Don't eat something just because it's there. You love apple crumble but aren't a fan of pumpkin pie? Have a serving of crumble and skip the pie. The pie isn't worth the calories for you. Love both but can't choose? Take a sliver of each. If you only eat what you really love, you can take a small amount to satisfy your craving and it will be easier for you to turn down other things that don't get your digestive juices flowing.
Condition #2: Don't indulge everything. At each event, choose one or two things as your treats and keep everything else nutritious and in portion control.
Condition #3: Plan ahead. Got a big holiday party on Saturday night? Keep your meals and snacks small, low calorie and nutrient dense throughout the day Saturday – fruits, vegetables and small amounts of whole grains and proteins. But don't avoid food altogether. You'll arrive at the party famished, making it much harder to avoid binging.
Condition #4: Make time for exercise and schedule it. Everything about this time of year that makes finding time for exercise difficult are exactly the things that make exercise necessary. Even when we approach this season with joyfulness, it's still stressful and that will make us feel run-down, sluggish and lower our immunities. Exercise counters all of that. And it burns off some of those extra calories we're likely consuming. It's a win-win.
Be prudent and mindful while you are eating, drinking and being merry. Enjoy!
I like to think of my daily calorie allotment as if they are dollars. I'm not suggesting that you keep a literal running count of calories consumed throughout the day. (Heavens no!) Instead, when faced with a possible indulgence, ask yourself how much that indulgence is worth to you. Would you spend your last couple of calorie bucks to have it? If you would, how much debt would you be willing to take on to satisfy your craving?
This is not about denying yourself. Family recipes, seasonal treats, baking with your kids and enjoying the company of friends and family around shared meals are all joyous, healthy experiences. But, you don't have to sample everything or overindulge on some things to experience all that's wonderful about this time of year. It's about being prudent when picking your calorie battles. As you go through this holiday season, eat, drink and be merry. But, as you do, try to think about ending each day in the black, or close to it, in terms of calories.
Be Miserly: Halloween is a great example. I'm sure you've seen the annual newspaper and magazine stories telling us which candies have the least amount of calories and fat, suggesting one should have a couple of those and avoid the more calorie and fat-laden candy. I'm sorry, those sugary-no-chocolate candies do absolutely nothing for me. I'm not spending my last few calorie dollars on Twizzlers or Skittles. This is what would happen if I did: I would feel completely unsatisfied and then end up also eating what I really want – Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Mounds bars. So, I spend my last few calorie dollars on Halloween night on 1 or 2 each of the mini PB cups and Mounds bars. This way, I've satisfied my craving for those things but I've only had a small amount and, therefore, haven't left myself deep in the guilt-ridden, calorie hole.
Similarly, my kids sort through their loot and only keep their very favorites, which are portioned out, one at a time, after a meal for dessert. The rest gets donated or tossed. Even though we significantly pare down, my kids' Halloween candy usually ends up lasting quite a long time because it's consumed very slowly. This teaches them that treats are fine in small amounts after a nutritious meal. But even more importantly, it steers them away from binging.
Plan ahead (a.k.a. Budget). I practice this year round. When you have a party or dinner out on the calendar, plan to eat differently that day. Have several small but satisfying, nutritious snacks such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and dairy products every few hours throughout the day. This approach guards against consuming a lot of calories before your night out while keeping you from becoming famished. Then you can give yourself permission to enjoy yourself knowing, even if you over-indulge a little, it won't break the calorie bank.
Don't be greedy. This goes back to the principle of imagining you have limited calories to "spend." Yes, indulge but don't indulge everything. At one party you may want to sample the cheese board, at another gathering you could be more in a cocktail mood, and at a restaurant you may want to end the meal with dessert. In all cases, you're choosing one indulgence and keeping the rest of the meal light and under portion control. Enjoy and savor your treats so that a modest amount will be enough to satisfy your craving.
Increase your calorie "income". Exercise adds spending power to your calorie budget. Regular workouts can be very difficult this time of year because time seems especially evasive with so many additional demands on it. But that is precisely why it needs to be a priority. In the context of the holiday season, exercise serves three purposes: it relieves stress, gives you energy and boosts immunity, and provides insurance against weight gain.
What do I mean by insurance? There will be days when too many calories are consumed, exercise burns off some of those extra calories, giving you a fighting chance of ending the day in the black.
The basic principle at work here is to replace binging with mindfulness. This may be an overused, trendy word these days but it's on point. Gorging on high-calorie foods when they are suddenly in abundance is mindless eating. Instead, be smart about how you consume your favorite treats. There will be days you'll end in the red with your calorie dollars and that's okay. If you keep those days to a minimum, you can most certainly say you've ended each week of November and December in the black.
