1. Technical Field
The present invention relates in general to and, in particular, to an improved system, method, and apparatus for improving the pinning strength of anti-parallel (AP) pinned giant magnetoresistive (GMR) and tunneling magnetoresistive (TMR) sensors using extra thin, ruthenium (Ru) alloy spacers that are annealed in a high magnetic field.
2. Description of the Related Art
A spin valve type giant magnetoresistive thin film used for a magnetic recording head of a hard disk drive has a multilayer film structure comprised of a plurality of layers or thin films. These layers include an antiferromagnetic layer, a fixed magnetization layer, a nonmagnetic conductive layer, and a free magnetization layer. In the multilayer film structure of the spin valve type giant magnetoresistive thin film, the nonmagnetic conductive layer is formed between the fixed magnetization layer and the free magnetization layer so that the two are isolated by the nonmagnetic conductive layer. Further, since the antiferromagnetic layer is made to adjoin the fixed magnetization layer, the magnetic moment of the fixed magnetization layer is fixed in one direction by the exchange coupling with the antiferromagnetic layer. On the other hand, the magnetic moment of the free magnetization layer is freely rotated in accordance with the external magnetic field.
The spin valve type giant magnetoresistive thin film generates the so-called “giant magnetoresistive effect,” or the change of the electrical resistance due to the relative angle formed by the magnetic moment of the fixed magnetization layer and the magnetic moment of the free magnetization layer. The rate of change of the electrical resistance due to the giant magnetoresistive effect is called the “magnetoresistive ratio” (MR ratio). The MR ratio of a spin valve type giant magnetoresistive thin film is far higher than that of a conventional anisotropic magnetoresistive thin film.
There are three types of spin valve type giant magnetoresistive thin films. The first type is known as a “bottom type” and comprises, from a substrate side, a buffer layer, an antiferromagnetic layer, a fixed magnetization layer, a nonmagnetic conductive layer, a free magnetization layer, and a protective layer that are stacked in that order. The second type is known as a “top type” and comprises a substrate, a buffer layer, a free magnetization layer, a nonmagnetic conductive layer, a fixed magnetization layer, an antiferromagnetic layer, and a protective layer in that order. The third type is called a “dual type” and comprises a substrate, a buffer layer, a first antiferromagnetic layer, a first fixed magnetization layer, a first nonmagnetic conductive layer, a free magnetization layer, a second nonmagnetic conductive layer, a second fixed magnetization layer, a second antiferromagnetic layer, and a protective layer in that order.
There have been proposed thin films for replacing the single layers of the fixed magnetization layers with synthetic ferromagnetic structures having fixed magnetization layer elements, nonmagnetic layers, and fixed magnetization layer elements. Furthermore, the free magnetization layer also comes in single layer structures and multilayer structures. In free magnetization layers and fixed magnetization layers of multilayer structures, all the layers are magnetic films, but sometimes different magnetic films are stacked or a sandwich structure interposing a nonmagnetic film therebetween is used.
The giant magnetoresistive effect of spin valve type giant magnetoresistive thin film is due to spin-dependent scattering of conductive electrons at the stacked interfaces of multilayer films. Therefore, to obtain a high MR ratio, cleanliness or flatness of the interfaces becomes important in the process of production of the spin valve film. Therefore, in the spin valve type giant magnetoresistive thin film, to achieve the cleanliness or flatness of the interfaces, the films are often formed continuously in the same vacuum chamber so that the intervals between formations of one layer and another become as short as possible.
Techniques for forming a film in vacuum include magnetron sputtering, ion beam sputtering, electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) sputtering, facing target sputtering, high frequency sputtering, electron beam evaporation, resistance heating evaporation, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), etc.
To obtain a high MR ratio, the thickness of the nonmagnetic conductive layer should be small so as to suppress the flow of conductive electrons not contributing to the giant magnetoresistive effect (shunt effect). If the thickness of the nonmagnetic conductive layer is made small, however, the fixed magnetization layer and the free magnetization layer will end up coupling ferromagnetically through the nonmagnetic conductive layer. The interlayer coupling magnetic field between the fixed magnetization layer and the free magnetization layer should be small for practical use of the magnetic recording head of a hard disk drive. In the past, to reduce the interlayer coupling magnetic field, the thickness of the nonmagnetic conductive layer was set to 2.5 to 3.5 nm.
The technique of reducing the ferromagnetic coupling occurring between the fixed magnetization layer and the free magnetization layer by inserting a nano oxide layer of a size of not more than 1 nm into the fixed magnetization layer in the bottom type of spin valve film has been proposed. As a result, a relatively small interlayer coupling magnetic field is obtained and a high MR ratio is obtained even with a thin (2.0 to 2.5 nm) nonmagnetic conductive layer. That is, in the conventional spin valve type giant magnetoresistive thin film, the thickness of the nonmagnetic conductive layer was set thick (2.5 to 3.5 nm) to reduce the interlayer coupling magnetic field, but the problem arose of a flow of conductive electrons not contributing to the giant magnetoresistive effect (shunt effect) and the MR ratio ending up being reduced. Further, in the process of production of the above nano oxide layer, an oxidation step becomes necessary in the middle of formation of the fixed magnetization layer. An oxidation step is complicated and is poor in reproducibility. Thus, an improved solution would be desirable.
One embodiment of a system, method, and apparatus for increasing the anti-parallel coupling strength of an anti-parallel pinned sensor is disclosed. The present invention includes an anti-parallel pinned sensor, such as a GMR or TMR sensor, having a pure ruthenium or ruthenium alloy spacer. The thickness of the spacer is less than 0.8 nm, preferably between 0.1 and 0.6 nm. The spacer is also annealed in a magnetic field that is 1.5 Tesla or higher. In one embodiment, the magnetic field is 5 Tesla or more. The present invention yields unexpected results by more than tripling the pinning field over that of typical AP-pinned GMR and TMR sensors that utilize ruthenium spacers which are 0.8 nm thick and annealed in a relatively low magnetic field of approximately 1.3 Tesla.
The foregoing and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, in view of the following detailed description of the present invention, taken in conjunction with the appended claims and the accompanying drawings.
So that the manner in which the features and advantages of the invention, as well as others which will become apparent are attained and can be understood in more detail, more particular description of the invention briefly summarized above may be had by reference to the embodiment thereof which is illustrated in the appended drawings, which drawings form a part of this specification. It is to be noted, however, that the drawings illustrate only an embodiment of the invention and therefore are not to be considered limiting of its scope as the invention may admit to other equally effective embodiments.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the Ru film or spacer is less than 0.8 nm thick, and preferably between the range of 0.1 and 0.6 nm. The Ru spacer is also annealed in a high magnetic field that is greater than 1.5 Tesla, and, in one embodiment, greater than 5 Tesla. In yet another embodiment, the spacer is annealed in a magnetic field from 5 to 10 Tesla.
In this multilayer structure, Ta (3 nm) and NiFe (2 nm) are the buffer layers 41, PtMn (12 nm) is the antiferromagnetic layer 42, CoFe (1.8 nm), Ru, and CoFe (2.8 nm) are the fixed magnetization layers (synthetic ferromagnetic structure) 43, Cu (2.2 nm) is the nonmagnetic conductive layer 44, CoFe (1.5 nm) and NiFe (2.5 nm) are the free magnetization layers 45, Cu (1 nm) is a spin filter 46, and Ta (3 nm) is the protective layer 47. These layers may be formed in one or more film forming chambers. Plasma treatment is suitably performed in the film forming steps. When performing plasma treatment, the film formation is temporarily interrupted at the desired interface, the substrate 25 is transported to a plasma treatment chamber for plasma treatment.

In the embodiment shown, each arm 125 has extending from it at least one cantilevered load beam and suspension 127. A magnetic read/write transducer or head (equipped with the sensor described above) is mounted on a slider 129 and secured to a flexure that is flexibly mounted to each suspension 127. The read/write heads magnetically read data from and/or magnetically write data to disk 115. The level of integration called the head gimbal assembly is head and the slider 129, which are mounted on suspension 127. The slider 129 is usually bonded to the end of suspension 127. The head is typically pico size (approximately 1250×1000×300 microns) and formed from ceramic or intermetallic materials. The head also may be femto size (approximately 850×700×230 microns) and is pre-loaded against the surface of disk 115 (in the range two to ten grams) by suspension 127.
Suspensions 127 have a spring-like quality which biases or urges the air bearing surface of the slider 129 against the disk 115 to enable the creation of the air bearing film between the slider 129 and disk surface. A voice coil 133 housed within a conventional voice coil motor magnet assembly 134 (top pole not shown) is also mounted to arms 125 opposite the head gimbal assemblies. Movement of the actuator 121 (indicated by arrow 135) by controller 119 moves the head gimbal assemblies radially across tracks on the disk 115 until the heads settle on their respective target tracks. The head gimbal assemblies operate in a conventional manner and always move in unison with one another, unless drive 11 uses multiple independent actuators (not shown) wherein the arms can move independently of one another.
While the invention has been shown or described in only some of its forms, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that it is not so limited, but is susceptible to various changes without departing from the scope of the invention.

The wife of Ireland’s chief medical officer, Dr Tony Holohan, has died after a long illness.
Dr Emer Holohan (nee Feely) had been living with a terminal form of blood cancer since 2012.
Dr Holohan took time off work last summer after she entered palliative care in early July.
Dr Feely was a specialist in public health medicine and a medical graduate of UCD.
She died at Our Lady’s Hospice, Harold’s Cross, Dublin, in the company of her husband and children.
Her children are Clodagh and Ronan.
Her funeral will take place at St Pius X Church on Monday.
Her death notice said that she died peacefully on Friday at the hospice in the company of her husband and children.
It added: “Emer will be forever remembered by the Holohan and Feely families and her wide circle of dear friends.”
Her request is for family flowers only and donations if desired to Terenure College 6th year Gofundme campaign in aid of The Irish Cancer Society and Our Lady’s Hospice.
Taoiseach Micheal Martin said his thoughts were with the family.
“Dr Emer Holohan made a significant contribution to the health service, including her work on the Health Strategy when I was Minister for Health.
“Tony and his entire family have given so much to this country since the start of the pandemic.
“At this time, I would ask for as much space and privacy to be given to them as possible.”
Dr Holohan has been the public face of the State’s response to the unprecedented public health emergency.
More than 4,000 people have died with Covid-19.
Stormont health minister Robin Swann said: “This is tragic news this evening and I want to send my deepest sympathies to Dr Holohan, his children Clodagh and Ronan, and the entire family circle at this terrible time.
“I know there will be tremendous support and compassion for them from everyone in Northern Ireland.”
Northern Ireland’s chief medical officer, Dr Michael McBride, said he was deeply saddened.
“I have worked very closely with Tony and his colleagues for many years and particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. I have greatly admired his fortitude, leadership and dedication to his duties while supporting Emer throughout her illness,” he said.

Korea makes case against Trump’s auto import tariffs
In a hurriedly arranged briefing on Monday, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said it was ramping up efforts to help Korea’s bread-and-butter auto industry. Last week, Minister Paik Un-gyu visited Washington and met with U.S. lawmakers including Rep. Ed Royce of California, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Senator Johnny Isakson of Georgia, home to a Kia Motors plant.
The ministry also submitted a written statement to the U.S. Department of Commerce on June 29. In it, the ministry explained that Korean automakers were not in direct competition with U.S. companies because they focus on selling smaller vehicles in the U.S. market while U.S. automakers mostly sell bigger cars like sports utility vehicles. The ministry also said the tariff would undermine the U.S. economy as whole.
A public hearing is scheduled for July 19 and 20. The Korean government plans to send a delegation led by Kang Sung-chun, the deputy trade minister, to the hearing.
During his visit to Washington last week, Minister Paik argued a recent revision to the Korea-U.S. free trade agreement eliminated any threats that Korean companies might pose to the U.S. economy and national security.
The amendment, made in March this year, pried open the Korean auto market to U.S. carmakers, doubling the number of U.S.-made vehicles that could be sold in Korea without having to meet Korean safety guidelines.
From late May, the U.S. Department of Commerce has been investigating whether imported cars pose a threat to national security, the same argument it used to impose steel tariffs earlier this year. Should the investigation prove car imports harm U.S. security, tariffs could soar to as high as 25 percent from the current 2.5 percent.
Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors, the two largest Korean automakers, face the most risk from higher tariffs. They also submitted written comments on June 29 and were joined by other automakers including General Motors and Toyota.
In its statement, Hyundai emphasized that high tariffs could actually take away jobs from Americans. The automaker predicts that the stiff tariffs will lead to an average 10 percent increase in annual production costs at Hyundai and Kia factories in the United States and subsequently lead to higher price tags on cars. Rising prices will then lead to poor car sales, less profitability in their U.S. business and ultimately layoffs, the automaker argued.
Hyundai Motor and its affiliate Kia Motors contribute to roughly 135,000 jobs in the United States, according to the automakers.
Groups in the United States have also opposed the tariffs. The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which lobbies for automakers with business in the United States, estimates consumers might see an average price increase of $5,800 due to the 25 percent import tariffs.
U.S. automaker General Motors warned the higher tariffs would lead to a “smaller GM” with “reduced presence at home and abroad” in its comment to the Commerce Department on Friday. The tariffs will ultimately lead to less investment, fewer jobs and lower wages for employees, the automaker said.
Meanwhile, Hyundai Motor faces a labor battle at home after wage negotiations with its union fell through last month. On Monday, the union began voting on whether to go on strike.
The labor union asked the company for a 5.3 percent raise (116,276 won, $103.83) in base pay and use 30 percent of annual net profit, roughly 1.36 trillion won, to pay out bonuses.
However, the company offered a 35,000 won raise and bonus of 200 percent the monthly wage plus a million won per employee.
If the labor union walks out, it will be their seventh consecutive year of striking over wage negotiations.

The incredible Dua Lipa performed her new single “IDGAF” on last night’s episode of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live”. The anthemic pop song is the official follow-up to “New Rules” and is lifted from the British singer’s 2017 eponymous debut studio album. This “Kimmel” performance is another televised gig from many Dua Lipa will undoubtedly be doing in the weeks ahead to promote “IDGAF” in America. Dua was only last week on “Ellen”. Oh, and similarly to what happened on “The Ellen Show”, Dua was also forced to perform the censored version of “IDGAF” on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” yesterday. She just couldn’t say the word “fuck”. And you thought because “Kimmel” was a late show then maybe Dua could sing the uncensored version this time… but oh well. Still, she delivered a top-notch performance, looked flawless as ever, and she definitely won the crowd over.
“IDGAF” is such a tune! And she could really pick ANY song from her album as her next single. They’re all hits anyway. That album has no fillers.

140 miles W of Baltimore; 140 miles NW of Washington, D.C.; 113 miles SE of Pittsburgh
The city of Cumberland sits on a tight bend of the Potomac River in the heart of the Allegheny Mountains, with a portion of the C&O Canal as its centerpiece. Once a large industrial city, it is now quieter, though tourism is a growing industry. Visitors come to see the canal, George Washington's headquarters, and the surrounding mountains.
At the turn of the 20th century, Cumberland was Maryland's "Queen City," second in size only to Baltimore. Many reminders of those days remain: a long street of Victorian mansions, the ornate storefronts of the rejuvenated shopping district, the black smoke of the Mountain Thunder coal-powered train.
Since the construction of I-68 cut right through -- you might say right on top of -- Cumberland, the city has become more accessible to the rest of the state. People come to see not only Cumberland, but also Rocky Gap State Park (known for Lake Habeeb) with its resort, golf course, and area parks.
The Allegheny Mountains are particularly beautiful in autumn, and the area is becoming popular with bikers and hikers who find Cumberland and nearby Frostburg cheaper and closer to home than Deep Creek Lake to the west.

Pull Up a Chair
Even though I am not a vegetarian, I know we all have vegetarian friends, and sometimes it’s hard to find something good to feed them for holidays…
so I looked for the best vegetarian recipes for Easter and found this one.
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1/2 cup broccoli, chopped small
- 1/2 cup cauliflower, chopped
- 1/2 cup green beans
- 1/2 cup green peas
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp margarine + 2 tbsp
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2/3 cup milk or soy milk
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh sage
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 potatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup soy or regular yogurt
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
Combine all the vegetables and steam just until tender. In a large saucepan, combine the steamed veggies, 2 tablespoons of margarine, flour, vegetable broth, soy milk and sage. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken and add a bit of salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
Boil the potatoes until soft. Drain and mash with 2 tablespoons margarine, yogurt and cheese.
Spread the vegetables in a large baking dish, and spread the potato mixture on top. Sprinkle additional parmesan cheese on top if desired.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until lightly golden.
* * * * *
If one has vegan friends, it’s possible to omit the cheese or use one of the vegan cheeses…
I found some more vegetarian/vegan recipes here… there’s a carrot cake, an almond cake, four-bean salad, vegan scalloped potatoes and a vegan Easter salad recipe, too.

This Craft of Verseby Jorge Luis Borges, Calin-Andrei Mihailescu (Editor)
These are the six Norton Lectures that Jorge Luis Borges delivered at Harvard University in the fall of 1967 and spring of 1968. The recordings, only lately discovered in the Harvard University Archives,
"The central fact of my life has been the existence of words and the possibility of weaving those words into poetry." Jorge Luis Borges, This Craft of Verse
These are the six Norton Lectures that Jorge Luis Borges delivered at Harvard University in the fall of 1967 and spring of 1968. The recordings, only lately discovered in the Harvard University Archives, uniquely capture the cadences, candor, wit, and remarkable erudition of one of the most extraordinary and enduring literary voices of our age. Through a twist of fate that the author of Labyrinths himself would have relished, the lost lectures return to us now in Borges’ own voice.
Born in 1899, Borges was by this time almost completely blind (only a single color yellow, "the color of the tiger" remained for him), and thus addressed his audience without the aid of written notes. Probably the best-read citizen of the globe in his day, he draws on a wealth of examples from literature in modern and medieval English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Greek, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, and Chinese, speaking with characteristic eloquence on Plato, the Norse kenningar, Byron, Poe, Chesterton, Joyce, and Frost, as well as on translations of Homer, the Bible, and the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám. Though his avowed topic is poetry, Borges explores subjects ranging from prose forms (especially the novel), literary history, and translation theory, to philosophical aspects of literature in particular and communication in general. Throughout, Borges tells the very personal story of his lifelong love affair with the English language and its literature, ancient and modern. In each lecture, he gives us marvelous insights into his literary sensibility, tastes, preoccupations, and beliefs.
Whether discussing metaphor, epic poetry, the origins of verse, poetic meaning, or his own "poetic creed," Borges gives a performance as entertaining as it is intellectually engaging. A lesson in the love of literature and language, this is a sustained personal encounter with a literary voice for whom the twentieth century will be long remembered.
The Marvelous Borges
Has another writer written to greater effect with fewer words? Whether in the form of the short story, essay, or poem, Jorge Luis Borges routinely performed astonishing turns of imagination in the length of a spare handful of pages. Borges's writings are models of succinct power; by temperament and by artistic ambition, he was a minimalist, given to working his wonders on the smallest scale possible. A master of fiction, Borges never published a novel -- or even, it seems, felt the lure of attempting one. He professed a heartfelt conservative piety for the older literary forms, for the saga and epic, the lyric and tale, but he made radically inventive uses of the traditional forms in his own literary labors.
Borges possessed an uncommon complement of gifts. He was capable of launching startling, even unnerving flights of cerebral fantasy or metaphor but owned a first-rate mind and a critical intelligence entirely at ease with the metaphysical abstractions of the philosophers and theologians. All the same, in his intellectual bearing Borges was a skeptic, critical of but not disparaging or cynical toward the truth claims of systematic philosophical or religious thought. He was at once a genuine artist and a judicious, sympathetic critic.
The posthumous publication of This Craft of Verse, Borges's 1967 Norton Lectures, reacquaints us with his splendid critical faculties. The volume is a welcome gift, too, reminding us of Borges's generous insistence on identifying with his fellow readers, who are ever ready to be transported by their love for literature. (Harvard University Press scheduled release of the remastered recordings for the fall of 2000.) Enough cause, then, to celebrate the recent discovery of these long-stored and forgotten tape recordings of lectures delivered at Cambridge more than three decades ago. By the late 1960s, Borges was quite blind and incapable of consulting notes when delivering an address. The lectures transcribed and collected here -- with their frequent quotations from the European languages, both ancient and modern -- were delivered extemporaneously, performances made possible by Borges's own powers of recollection (which were, it need hardly be said, formidable).
In life and in literary manner Borges was a cosmopolitan, his range of reference almost inexhaustibly wide. His reading embraced Homer and Virgil, the Icelandic sagas and Beowulf, Chaucer and Milton, Rabelais and Cervantes, Kafka and Joyce. This Craft of Verse addresses issues central to the art of poetry: essential metaphors, epic poetry, the origins of verse, and poetic meaning. The lectures conclude with a statement of Borges's own "poetic creed." This slim but profound volume, however, ranges much farther afield. Borges serves up intriguing asides on the novel, on literary criticism and history, and on theories of translation. Ultimately, his comments touch on the largest questions raised by literature and language and the thornier puzzles of human communication.
The lectures convey Borges's evident delight in English and his eloquence and ease in the language, even when facing a distinguished audience of native English speakers. But perhaps that is not so surprising, after all, for Borges carried on a lifelong love affair with the English language and the literatures of the British Isles and North America. His parents, who were fluent in English, introduced Borges to the language when he was a young boy, and Borges was allowed the run of his father's extensive library of English classics. Among the bookshelves of his father's study he first encountered authors he would admiringly cite over a long literary life: Wells and Kipling and Chesterton and Shaw, to name only a few. And the study of Old English became a hobby to which Borges remained passionately devoted until his death. The English language he counted as his second (and perhaps even preferred) home.
Since the 1960s, when the then relatively obscure Buenos Aires writer was first introduced to English-speaking readers in translations of the classic Ficciones and the anthology Labyrinths, it has been apparent that Borges survives the ordeal of translation without obvious loss. His power remains intact on the page. This he owes to the virtues of his prose style, to the elegant simplicity and naturalness that, as the transcribed Norton Lectures demonstrate, were indistinguishable from the man. Borges's style is classical: concise, understated, cleanly cadenced, strict in its devotion to the old-fashioned values of clarity and logical order. Whether in his native Spanish or in his adopted English, Borges is a writer and lecturer who impresses us with his singular intellectual wit, charm, and refinement.
This Craft of Verse makes an exquisite addition to a distinguished series and offers, moreover, invaluable insights into the mind and work of a true modern master. Between its covers, this small book holds the pleasures of the modest, warm voice of a writer who stands unquestionably with the strongest literary talents of the 20th century.

What we know about Indiana’s coaching future
Less than three hours after announcing via press release that Tom Crean would no longer be the head coach of IU basketball, Athletic Director Fred Glass spoke to the media inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
The press conference lasted nearly 40 minutes. Glass began by reading the press release, then answered every question from the media.
Here’s what we learned (all quotes from Glass):
The decision to fire Crean was based on his total body of work
“I’m always somewhat bemused when someone says ‘this guy is coaching for his job in this tournament, or this game, or this run.’ That just seems inherently silly to me. This was a disappointing year, but the year before was a really strong year. This year, in my view, wasn’t a disproportionate part of my evaluation, but a part of the whole time that Tom has been here.”
And was made following the NIT loss Tuesday
“I really tried to be disciplined, to wait until the end of the year, which I viewed as the total end of the year, the end of the postseason. The (NIT) game ended late Tuesday night. I really made this decision last night and communicated it to Tom this morning. I wanted to get that out promptly.”
Players were notified via text
“Unfortunately, because it’s spring break week, I have not been able to interact directly with the players, which is unfortunate. We did reach out to them electronically, through text, before (the announcement). It’s not the way you want to do things, but it is spring break week. We have scheduled a meeting with the players for Sunday night, so we’ll connect with them in a direct way as quickly as we can.”
Glass later said the department has already reached out to the incoming recruiting class.
And Glass would like them to wait before making any decisions
“My request to (the players) will be to be loyal to Tom. Hurt and grieve. He cared about these kids and I think they knew that. I’m going to ask them to give the new person a chance and talk to them. Then, if they want to make other decisions, we’ll work with them. But hopefully, they’ll at least give the new person an opportunity.”
In the meantime, there will be a transition group overseeing team activities
“We’ve put together a transition group – longtime trainer Tim Garl and (director of player development) Derek Elston…We’ll work with (associate athletic director) Mattie White and (deputy director of athletics) Scott Dolson to oversee the team and team activities.”
The fan frustration was evident
“The frustration may have been universal. In my view, the opposition to Tom was not. I think it’s easy to fall into the trap – listening to talk radio and reading message boards – that the people that are against understandably tend to be louder, that there was a universal opposition to Tom. I just don’t think that’s true.”
“This was a decision that I made not because I thought it was popular, because popular tends to change. It was the decision I thought I needed to make because I thought it was right, because what’s right tends not to change.”
Crean and Glass spoke before the decision was made
“We had two specific conversations about the future and what I saw as my options going forward. They were very, very positive. He was very relaxed and non-defensive. I really appreciated those conversations a great deal. Last night, after I really had the chance to absorb and consider everything, I felt like a decision needed to be made. It would have been bad for everybody to leave (Crean) twisting, even though you always maybe want a few more days.”
Glass had three options
Glass noted he had to make one of three decisions: extend Crean now, decline to extend and let him coach with only three years left on his deal, or fire him.
“I concluded that the extension wasn’t something I was prepared to do. Even though we have had success, I think that both between and within seasons, it’s been too inconsistent for our expectations.”
“It was very tempting to go with the second option of allowing him to go forward without the extension. To his great credit, he was willing to do that. I think it would have been a very hard thing for him to do, but I’ve gotta tell you – he loves Indiana. He loves living here and he loves his kids going to school here. I think he felt like he could win. He was willing to bet on himself, and I admired that and appreciated that.”
“In the final analysis, I wasn’t comfortable going forward with that. Given that he only had three years left, and that publicly I would have not given him an extension, I think he would have been on the hot seat from day one…I thought that would be too hard on the program to be a justifiable option.”
Crean’s buyout will be paid in full but may be mitigated
“I want to make really clear – Tom is going to get all of the benefits from his contract that he’s entitled to for being fired without cause. There is nothing more to this (decision) than my belief in the future of the program, based upon what I think ultimately was inconsistent – athletic performance, if you will – there were no other issues. I will happily pay him all he is entitled to under his contract.”
The university will pay Crean $4 million dollars, but it won’t be one lump sum. Instead, it will be in regularly scheduled payments of around $1.3 million a year over the next three years.
“That’s a lot of money, I don’t want to minimize that. But on a $100 million dollar budget, that’s money we can commit to that.”
However, the contract includes ‘mitigation setoff.’ This means if Crean gets a “comparable job in professional basketball, college basketball, or as a media personality, then that money gets set off dollar-for-dollar with what (IU) would owe him.”
This makes it possible that IU will end up owing Crean nothing.
There will also be a separation cost of around $700,000 for “other staff that normally would be expected to leave is well.” That amount is also subject to mitigation.
Indiana wants a coach that will stay out of trouble
“Our number one priority is to play by the rules. We don’t want anybody who has been associated with significant NCAA infractions. We want somebody who cares about the wellness of the kids and their mind, body and spirit. Therefore, we don’t want anyone who has shown the proclivity to be abusive or had any of those situations. Academics are important, hopefully anywhere, but particularly here at Indiana. We expect the kids to graduate, and so (we don’t want anyone) with significant academic issues. (We want) someone that fits the culture, that can buy into our values and priorities. Those are sort of the givens.”
But who also has a strong pedigree
“We want somebody who can win Big Ten and National Championships. We want somebody who is a proven winner. Someone who is a proven recruiter, who has the ability and the desire to recruit in the midwest and especially in Indiana. Someone who is a good tactician in the games, who is a developer of talent…someone who is a leader of men. Who the kids trust has their best interests at heart and that the kids understand can make them better.”
The coaching search is just beginning
“We’re beginning that (search) process. I’ve got some ideas of people, but it’s an open search. I don’t have somebody in the bag. I haven’t reached out to anybody…it’s going to be a bit of a process. But sure, I’ve got an idea of the kind of people and specific people I’d want to go after.”
Having Hoosier ties may benefit a candidate
“IU ties is a double check plus. Being a former IU person, in one way or another, is a double check plus. Being from the state of Indiana is a double check plus. Collegiate head coaching experience is certainly a plus, but there’s other ways to evidence your ability to take on a job like this. IU or Indiana ties, an absolute plus, but no litmus test for me.”
“I’ll interview everybody that is connected to IU. Any alumnus of IU that (wants) this job, I will personally talk to them. Number one, I believe in that and their potential to be successful here, and I’m also a big believer in Hoosiers for life. If anyone from Indiana wants to talk to me about this job, I will talk to them.”
There isn’t a firm timeframe on a decision
“We’re going to give it the time that it needs…I’d rather have it right than fast. We’ll move with all deliberate speed and we’re already working on that, as of this morning, anyway. The kind of people we’re interested in are the kind of people who are successful and are playing basketball still, whether it’s in the (NBA) or in one of the postseason tournaments. We will respect what I anticipate will be their sole focus on their teams. So it might be a while.”
“We’re going after people that have proven track records…we’re going to go after people and target them. They will be, largely, people that are in important, successful situations. We’ll want to take the lead from them on how to approach that. It may require some patience. Again, we don’t have any winks or nods. We haven’t been playing any games like that. We’ll see how it plays out. It could be a while. Especially when we’re just starting the tournaments.”
Glass is already receiving interest in the position
When asked if he’s already receiving calls regarding the opening, Glass slowly nodded his head before answering “Yes.”
The department may look far and wide to gather opinions
“I don’t think we can overstate what a big deal this hire is. I am not going to really spare any resource to get the advice and input from the people we need. Some of that costs money, like a search firm. Some of that doesn’t cost money but requires time.”
“I want to talk to our former players. I want to talk to Indiana high school basketball coaches. I want to talk to AAU coaches…the thoughts of those folks are important to me. We are going to comprehensively get all the information we can get and, I think, make a great choice here.”
But will be tight-lipped
“My expectation is to not really talk about the search. I’m not going to react to rumors. If I’m not reacting to a rumor, that doesn’t mean that you’re hot on the trail of the right guy. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. I don’t know. Right now there is no guy. Today it certainly wouldn’t be true.”
“I’m not going to handicap people, not going to confirm or deny anything. I’m going to work on this, kind of clear my calendar of everything else. This will be my focus.”
Glass was appreciative for what Crean has done for the program
This wasn’t a one-year decision or a four-year decision, it was really a nine-year decision, in terms of past being prologue. To me, it’s always been about the future with Indiana basketball. We can look at what happened before and the really herculean effort Tom did in those first three years, which may have been his best coaching effort ever. I would suggest to you that those first three years and the holding together, with the chewing gum and spit and duct tape, was a better coaching effort than both of his Big Ten titles. (The titles) were outstanding, but what I had to do was look forward. I felt that based upon the inconsistency and given where we were with the three years (left on the deal), that it wasn’t a time that I wanted to make an extension. But Tom made very significant contributions to us. It’s clearly a better job now than when he came.”

Minister cries foul, says political motive behind raid, threatens to lodge complaints with police, ECI
By Our Staff Reporter
Guwahati, March 16: Election Commission observers and Income Tax officials on Wednesday night raided the Guwahati residence of Agriculture minister and senior Congress leader Rakibul Hussain.
A team of EC officials led by Kamrup (metro) expenditure observer Raghavendra Singh first searched Hussain's vehicle and his two escort vehicles while he was moving out of his Panjabari residence this evening.
Later, the team, accompanied by Income Tax department sleuths launched a search at his residence, located at FA Ahmed gar (Pura Basti).
The raid team came in over twenty vehicles, including official vehicles bearing stickers of the election commission..
In a hurriedly convened press conference, immediately after his vehicles were searched, Hussain said the raid was conducted "with an intention to create terror among Congress workers."
He alleged that the search team did not follow the laid down norms of the Election Commission, like video-graphing the search etc.
"The officer who led the team was initially reluctant to identify himself. The officer just said there was some reason behind the search. What else could be the reason beside a political one?" Hussain said.
He said he has taken up the matter with senior AICC leaders, besides the Chief Minister and that the party will lodge a complaint with the Election Commission of India.
Hussain, who till the filing of the report was taking legal advice at Rajiv Bhavan, has also threatened to file a defamation case.
Sources said searches were also launched at a beauty clinic and at a few residences in the locality. The search was going on till the filing of this report. Officials did not disclose details as to why the raid was conducted and if anything was found during the searches. However, Hussain said the officials were "satisfied" after the initial search in his three vehicles.
Hussain lodged a complaint at Dispur police station late in the night.
“If they wanted to search my house, they should have told me while searching my vehicle when I was coming out. Why did they raid the house after I moved out? There was no third party while the raid was being conducted. What if they put something and later claim that they have found that from the house,” Hussain said late in the night.
The situation was tense in the Panjabari area till late in the night.

District of North Vancouver council will debate this Tuesday on granting an OCP amendment and rezoning for a proposed eight unit townhome development in Edgemont.
The townhomes will replace two homes at 3155 and 3175 Canfield Crescent in the neighborhood. Properties surrounding this 14,316 square feet site include single-family residential homes to the east and Amica Edgemont Village to the northwest on Highland Boulevard.
According to a staff report to the council, the three-bedroom townhomes addresses the ‘intent’ of the OCP by providing units suitable for families and a range of multi-family housing sizes.
“The units are all three bedroom floor plans, which will be attractive to both families and downsizers. These units respond to goal 2 of the OCP to “encourage and enable a diverse mix of housing types, to accommodate the lifestyles and needs of people at all stages of life,” according to the staff report.
According to the DNV staff, the proposal is also consistent with the Edgemont Plan, but since the plan was never formalised into the OCP, the development requires rezoning.
The eight townhomes will be developed in four, two-storey building over a single level of underground parking.
The developer is proposing 16 parking stalls and four EV charging stations to service four vehicle. One universal parking stall will be provided and four Class 2 visitor bicycle parking spaces are proposed at the pedestrian entrance on Highland Boulevard.
A bike repair area is also proposed in the underground garage.
If approved, the developer will hand over $172,782 in Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) to the district. The contribution will be directed towards the affordable housing fund, park and trail improvements, public art or other public realm infrastructure.
Improvements to the street frontages is also being proposed, including street light upgrades, street tree planting, and curb, gutter and paving improvements. A plan to handle traffic during construction will also have to be submitted, granted the project is approved.

Brendon Mccullum and Mike Brearley have expressed their concern over Test cricket's ongoing loss of ground to T20s and cited AB de Villiers' withdrawal from the Test side as a symptom of the trend. McCullum has urged the ICC to institute a Test Championship to stop the slide and revive Test cricket.
Former New Zealand skipper Mccullum, who is a member of the MCC World Cricket Committee, is worried about the situation of Test cricket. In the current times, new T20 leagues are springing up every year, while on the other hand, the charm of Test cricket is fading away. To regain that glory, the 35-year-old has batted for the World Test Championship.
"I don't see T20 leagues as the devil, by any stretch," McCullum said as quoted by PTI.
"But it's how we continue to make sure Test cricket continues as an important game at the same time. That's where there's probably a tipping point: what's more important? These leagues or the international game?”, the right-handed batsman said.
"The actual health of the game is outstanding but the perception in some parts of the world is that the entertainment of Test cricket is diminishing. So we're trying to ensure there is context to every Test and we feel the Test Championship would bring that in and we encourage the ICC to continue to bring this to the table."
Players are choosing the shorter form of the game rather than Test cricket with the extreme case of the West Indies players preferring T20 leagues over playing Test cricket for their country. Along with Mccullum, Former England captain Mike Brearley, in his final meeting as chairman of the MCC World Cricket Committee, talked about the dangerous situation where players "from countries lacking the funds to pay their top players well" will see them "choose these domestic tournaments ahead of making themselves available for their countries."
"For international cricket to flourish, competitive levels need to be close and teams need to be able to field their best players. The committee is worried that with the spread of privately owned T20 leagues and the rapid increase in remuneration, more players from countries lacking the funds to pay their top players well will choose these domestic tournaments ahead of making themselves available for their countries," Brearley said.
McCullum sees the absence of AB de Villiers from the South African Test side against England as an alarming situation and said it was "another red-flag moment" for Test cricket.

because if you look at actual politics and economics, classical Italian fascism looks a lot more like the right-wing of Peronismo—whose economic outlook was a capitalism based largely on the import-substitution-industrialization model + the giving of the middle finger to the comprador bourgeoisie—than it does to the Let’s-Just-Give-All-Our-Shit-To-The-Imperialists jubilee that was Chile’s military dictatorship. Fascism is a hypernationalist political and economic model, how can one be nationalist whilst handing over one’s national resources to foreign corporations?
Military dictatorship = fascism in the eyes of liberals only.
The problem is that many Western leftists have a very Eurocentric view of fascism, wherein we view it as a necessarily xenophobic and expansionist model because that’s the form it took in European countries which already had legacies of xenophobia and expansionism. As a result, we don’t look at its economic origins and how that outlook would be applied to Latin America; rather, fascism just becomes a keyword for “authoritarian,” “right-wing,” etc. and can describe figures as diverse as Dominican general Omar Torrijos, who helped the Sandinistas come to power in Nicaragua, and Rafael Videla, who was busy hunting down the Argentine leftists that helped kill the then-former Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza.
Unlike in Europe, fascism in Latin America has often had an anti-imperialist character and has aimed for the reclamation of national sovereignty, whereas the Europeans wanted to regain national power, often by colonizing the third world and occupying nearby countries. Latin American fascism largely aimed simply for the reorientation of national economies inward and—like Italy—the forced cooperation of necessarily-antagonistic social classes for the sake of national unity.*
This explains why, in Argentina, the oligarchy and comprador bourgeoisie hated Juan Peron. The oligarchs were usually owners of large latifundios, who retarded progress and national development by sitting on untilled lands or by effectively-enslaving wretchedly poor peasants to produce agricultural goods for export. They feared agrarian reform and land redistribution, which would severely weaken their traditional power. The comprador bourgeoisie, which orients itself outward, produced goods and extracted resources on behalf of, or in conjunction with, multinational corporations. Because Peron sought to restructure (read: not smash) the capitalist economy for the fulfillment of domestic needs, the compradors—who are principally allied to imperialism—feared government expropriations of natural resources that they were accustomed to extracting on behalf of foreign interests.
So yeah, moral of the story is that Latin American fascism has to be looked at in its own context, rather than assuming a European context and missing the point entirely.
*The logic behind the way real fascists crush proletarian revolutionary struggle is very different from how/why neoliberal military dictators do, and using “fascism” to describe every authoritarian that you don’t like blurs this distinction.
It’s also worth pointing out that Nazism, which created a central role for xenophobia and which had an economic philosophy far less state-centric than Italian fascism, responded to very different contradictions and found its support among a different socioeconomic strata. Whereas in Europe Nazism and fascism are seen as complementary, I would argue that the distinctions in Latin America are far more pronounced.

This was originally written as a personal response to a close friend based on this post, however it deserves open viewing in its own right.
Before I start I just want to clarify a point, when discussing conformism I am really looking at the deeply ingrained trend in society that creates a singular identity that everyone tries to attain; like you must marry, have kids, own a house – the white picket fence American dream. I believe this goes beyond the human need for validation – a bottom-up individual behaviour – to the top-down enforcement of a uniform construct by society. While it is heavily interlinked with the innate desire for validation, it can be argued similar to the chicken-or-the-egg paradox. Has our innate desire for validation by society forced society to develop a uniform identity construct that everyone should prescribe to? Or has the societal enforcement of a belief and identity caused the need for validation by the individual? Whereby the individual is seeking acceptance from society for living slightly outside of the ‘norm’ or construct that society is trying to make everyone conform to.
Deep within humanity we naturally have an ingrained desire to belong and be accepted; it’s a survival instinct – for in days gone by, it was better to belong to a strong clan than be a nomad on your own. From a young age we spend eons trying to fit in, we change everything from out likes, dislikes, clothes, attitude and beliefs in an attempt to ‘fit in’ with those who we, and the micro-society we are exposed to think are ‘cool’. We also spend our childhood and early adulthood looking for validation in our choices from our parents. I would like to highlight a quote from Battlestar Galactica:
Number Six: We’re the children of humanity. That makes them our parents in a sense.
Aaron Doral: True, but parents have to die. It’s the only way children can come into their own.
Expressing the view that until our parents are dead, the children can never reach their full potential. Albeit slightly depressing, this reflects the overly restrictive desire for validation from our parents. Removing death from the equation, when we stop seeking validation for our decisions and only seek internal validation, we can achieve a greater life, and lead happier lives. This parental validation theme is also deeply ingrained in Christopher Nolan’s ‘Inception’ whereby Mr Fischer, who has lived his life in his father’s shadow, desperately seeks his father’s validation; giving the protagonists an easy way to manipulate his actions and beliefs.
On marketing companies, they make us envious. They make us believe that we need something in particular to lead a good life, or to fit in, further enhancing a conformist attitude. Further ingrained within marketing and society and what marketing capitalises on is the idea of ‘status’. Where under conventional thinking, those that drive around in that nice Porsche are desirable, as it is a status symbol. The desire to own the latest iPhone, despite only having few advantages, causes metric tonnes of pointless electronic waste every year. This envy of status fuels consumerism and conformist society.
We get better at setting conformism aside as we grow older simply because we become more accepting of self-validation; we become more aware and steadfast in our own beliefs – choosing to use them as the basis for our actions and decisions rather than those of society.
You express the belief that you do not want to be seen as kind, because ‘kindness can be perceived as a weakness […] It’s not seen as a quality to aspire to or that breeds “success” ‘. Which is exactly the kind of backwards thinking that is generated by the ‘to be successful you need to be ruthless’ social ideology. I take this moment to look back on the classic late 90’s movie ‘Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion’ which resonates the theme that success does not equate to money or assets; it is in the eye of the beholder. Success is what you define it. To me, success lies in simply changing a life for the better; to inspire someone to be the best version of themself.
Tangent. In my eight months in Timor Leste I was on the go from 630 am until 1 am every day. I finished 35 books, my Master’s degree, I learnt Spanish, made massive leaps in my own fitness and health, and saved alot of money; but the success that still touches me and makes me proud, is that my worst employee, went from wanting to quit at the first opportunity and being incredibly terrible at this job, to wanting to excel above all else in his work and personal life. He did a backflip on his attitude towards life and when I spoke with his supervisor about it – even he was surprised – and he attributed it to my leadership and attitude, and quoted him as saying ‘I want to be really good at this, because if the boss can do it all that stuff, so can I’.
On new years eve, when you receive text messages from people saying ‘thank you for all of your help this year, you’re a fantastic boss’. That, is success.
I also tangent with a quote by John Holt that I stumbled upon thanks to Catarina Fake:
Leaders are not what many people think–people with huge crowds following them. Leaders are people who go their own way without caring, or even looking to see whether anyone is following them. “Leadership qualities” are not the qualities that enable people to attract followers, but those that enable them to do without them. They include, at the very least, courage, endurance, patience, humor, flexibility, resourcefulness, determination, a keen sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear head even when things are going badly. This is the opposite of the “charisma” that we hear so much about.
This quote caused the biggest change in my view on leadership; despite already having a Diploma in Military Leadership, and countless hours of leadership training. It also altered my view on the way we should approach life. If we continually concern ourselves with what others think of us, over what we think of ourselves, we will get nowhere; living life by proxy. The expectation is that we should live our lives by gathering followers; to quote T.I.S.M: ‘As a mistral employee once told me, you’re only as good as your fans’. Thus, we stop defining ourselves and we let ourselves be defined by the company we keep.
I spent a long time concerning myself with what others thought of me, only to realise that was not what defined me. In his novel ‘Walden: or, Life in the Woods’, Henry David Thoreau wrote that “Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate”. If we busy ourselves to the gathering of followers and then concerning ourselves with what they think of us, we can never truly discover what our own beliefs are; the confusion between what we think we should believe in and what we do is ever present. Only when we discard concern for external validation do we define our internal beliefs.
Even if we have not yet found what are beliefs are, constantly pandering to the opinions of others and society will only prolong that discovery.
Only internally can we find true validation. In saying all of this, we should not be afraid from time to time, to ask for advice and the opinions of others. Nor should we be so steadfast in our opinions that we don’t make accommodation for variations, or keep an open mind; this however, is a further tangent for another time.
I leave you with a quote from a friend of mine, who was picking on some of her urban hippy friends for raising chickens. An old man walked passed and said “once everyone had chickens”. I think that’s a powerful observation in itself, that the benchmarks for “normality” and “mainstream” are dynamic. That’s what makes your call to do the things that make you happy all the more persuasive, because today’s ‘weirdness’ is tomorrow’s ‘mainstream’ and vice versa.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Fennel is a diverse herb that is used around the world. Every part of the fennel plant can be eaten, but the seeds are particularly good. They work great in salads, breads and can even be crushed and steeped into fennel tea. Here are some tips on how to harvest fennel seeds so you don’t miss out on this delicious part of this amazing herb.
WHEN TO HARVEST
Fennel seeds should be harvested as soon as they turn from green to brown on the stalk. This usually occurs in late summer, but keep an eye on them to ensure you harvest them as soon as they are ready. Otherwise, it is likely they will fall off the plant and be scattered by the wind.
STEPS TO HARVEST
First, cut each seed head off of the fennel plant. Handle them gently so you don’t lose any seeds in the process.
Place seed heads in a paper bag. Give it a good shake. This will knock free and catch the loose fennel seeds.
Hold each seed head over a bowl and dislodge the remaining seeds with your fingers.
You can also let the seed heads dry in a paper bag for a few days or up to 2 weeks and then the seeds should come loose with no problem. Be sure to poke ventilation holes in the bag and hang it in a place with good air circulation.
Once all fennel seeds have come loose, separate them from the stems and other plant matter.
DRYING FENNEL SEEDS
Fennel seeds should be dried before eating. They can be set out on a drying screen in a warm, well-ventilated space for a few days and this should do the job.
You can also dry your fennel seeds in the oven. Set the oven to the lowest temperature. Scatter the fennel seeds on a cooking tray. Use a piece of parchment paper so the seeds don’t touch the metal and burn. Place them in the oven on the top rack and turn the oven off. They should dry in 5-10 minutes.
Fennel seeds should be kept in an airtight container and then stored in a cool, dark place. This will ensure they keep their flavor for months to come.

This. This amazing. http://dvdasa.com
I’ve been listening to the show from the start, I enjoyed it immensely and every week I looked forward to the two new episodes. Somehow, as did others, I felt connected to these guys. It was an impropable ensemble of mismatched people, a huge lumbering white dude, an adult actress, a concierge, an acountant, a whore transporter, a comedian and his funnier brother, a famous musician and offcourse Choey, a multimilionaire, dysfunctional artist. On paper, it sounds ridiculous. And sometimes it was. But to me, it was pure gold. So after a pretty long time of abrupt silence around the show David wrote some sort of a press release. Stating that he went from being famously unblackmailable, to being blackmailed. He hints at something about being a father now. Who knows. But all I know is that I will miss this show and I’ll be re-listening/watching some of my favorite shows. So thank you @davidchoe2 @asahole3 @critterflemming @yumyumcha @bobbytrivia @moneymarkmusic @quangou @bobbyleelive, thank you for everything!
