A dog has welcomed a newcomer at the Animal Haven pet shelter in New York City, and surprised many. Coco, a white Maltese, recently gave birth to a litter of puppies. The pregnancy was a surprise to the shelter staff, but the mother and puppies are said to be strong and healthy. When an orphaned black kitten named Roadhouse arrived at Animal Haven, the staff noticed a special bond that the feline had formed with Coco. The new mom brought Roadhouse into her family and nursed the kitten right alongside her puppies.
Animal Haven posted photos and video (you can watch here) of the unlikely pair ontheir Facebook page and WNBC reports that dozens have expressed interest in adopting the animals. The shelter said that the newly formed family will be available for adoption in three weeks.

Best Uses
This jeans were so nice to wear on the cold Michigan winters days. Nobody knew they were flannel lined. They looked like a nice pair of jeans. I had trouble getting the right waist size, but it would be hard to find a warmer pair of jeans.
Best Uses
I have yet to be disappointed in any of Duluth items. Bought there for use down the road in Colorado. Being from California I just wanted a lined pant with a good normal feel. Decided to buy there as all the previous pants purchased ( 10 pairs +) I have not had one issue. Same with these. Just awesome pants. Well built. Comfortable. Clean looking. Prices right. Thank you for another awesome product.
Best Uses
I have shopped high-quality and flannel lined jeans for years. After finding these, there will be no other for me. I love the comfort of the ballroom feature; that additional room also gives itself to layering in heavy winter weather. Coincidentally, I find that wearing these jeans in the summer, in spite of the flannel lining, is not uncomfortable.
Best Uses
The first pair had the front closure rivet pop off the second time I put them on. Thus an unwearable pair of jeans. One call to customer service, a new pair was express shipped to me with a return label for the defective pair. I love these jeans - they really are ballroom jeans. Very comfortable. Duluth gets kudos from me for their no bull guarantee.
Best Uses
I have tried every other brand and always pick my Duluth Trading flannel lined jeans first. Price is great for the level quality and piece goods... Duluth Trading goes the extra mile on every product they sell.

Mallett rebuffed the Rugby Football Union when they enquired about his availability earlier this month, citing family reasons.
The former South Africa, Italy and Stade Francais coach is also unwilling to work within the current structure, which sees the head coach report to a director of elite rugby and not the board.
But Mallett, speaking in promotion of Saturday's Heroes Rugby Challenge at Twickenham, admits he might be interested if the RFU chain of command is altered.
"You can never rule yourself out of a job like this," he said.
"The family situation might have changed - I might have spent four or five months at home. My wife might be saying to me 'it's time to get off the sofa and back into coaching'. And the RFU will hopefully have resolved their issues by then.
"At the moment it's hypothetical, but it certainly wouldn't be out of the question. It's a very big job, a huge honour but there are a number of issues to be resolved.
"I'd never count it out because it's one of the top five coaching jobs in the world."
The post of England head coach is often billed as the biggest job in world rugby, but Mallett queried this description.
"Biggest...it's difficult to say. Coaching New Zealand and South Africa are very big jobs as well in terms of expectation. There isn't a single game they expect to lose," he said.
"Apart from 2002, 2003, England isn't a team that has been consistently winning, especially against southern hemisphere teams, but the expectation is as high as in New Zealand or South Africa. In that way it's a very difficult job. It also has the most enquiring and intrusive media in the world and that makes it a very complicated job. You accept that if you do a job like this."
New Zealand's World Cup-winning assistant coach Wayne Smith, another strong candidate, indicated he would be unavailable until next summer.
Smith is committed to the Waikato Chiefs for two years but has a break clause that comes into effect in August.
"I'm interested in coming back to the UK. I want to come back, but what it will be to do I don't know."
Mallett and Smith are coaching the Southern Hemisphere against the Northern Hemisphere in a match staged to raise money for the Help for Heroes charity.
Danny Grewcock, Will Greenwood, Ben Cohen, Andrew Mehrtens and Justin Marshall are among the players who will join servicemen and emerging academy talent at Twickenham.

Wow! I've finally found it. My winter "hearth" home. Where I can
cook over an open fire. Indoors. During cold, snowy, and rainy
weather. At a bona-fide historic hearth. With its brick bake oven.
What could be better? Absolutely nothing! HUZZAH!!
Yes, I now have a new gig, cooking at the hearth in the kitchen
of the Israel Crane House in Montclair, New Jersey. I'll be there
at least once a month, if not more. Hopefully, more! In fact,
I was there yesterday (Sunday) for the first-in-a-long-time
Kids' Day. We made butter and drank the resulting buttermilk
along with cold and brewed-over-the-fire spiced cider. A nice
crowd attended the event and partook of all the festivities,
from quill pen writing to candle-dipping to special house tours.
Everyone had a blast! I know I certainly did. I just LOVE this
stuff! I must admit, too, that it is SOOOOOO satisfying to be
cooking at an open hearth once again. I've missed it. What
a privilege. And a mighty fabulous one! HUZZAH!
So, stayed tuned for more adventures at the Crane House.
In the meantime, here are a few pictures from Sunday's
special event just for kids.
My young volunteer-friend Lucy started the churning:
Once we had butter, other young hands assisted with washing it:
Our churning yielded a bowlful of rich, yummy buttermilk:
And, of course, an overflowing batch of creamy, luscious butter. HUZZAH!:
I had also made some butter in advance and brought it, with crackers,
so that people could have a taste while we churned:
And finally, along with cold cider, visitors enjoyed spiced cider
brewed at the hearth:
In the end, it was a highly successful event. All had a fun time.
Hopefully, there'll be many more in the future. Stay tuned!

"Trade in"- bchelsea6
Im very disappointed....I went in about a month ago, for a trade it on a car tht I still owe for. Matt told me that if I came back with about $1500 down that I would be good to go because he checked everything else. A couple days ago I emailed Matt and asked if I brought $1000 would I be okay with that and he said yea everything will be good to go , come in! Went in , sat for maybe 2 or 3 hours and was told they were waiting on the bank to get back with them and he would call me monday. I talked to Matt monday and he told me his manager would be in at 11am that was working on the deal. Here it is tueday around 10am and still no answers! My credit is not all that great but it would have been respectful to just give me an answer and say its not going to work out! Instead I got the run around and still have no answers! I would not recommend this place at all!Read More
"mr leroy cole"- clockman
I bought a 2011 GMC Sierra pickup over two years ago and I should have made a review before now so I must say the purchase experience was one of the best I have ever experienced. Everyone involved took care of my needs in what I wanted in a truck and gave me the best deal both in price of the vehicle and financing. The truck was in excellent condition and has had no problems in over two years since I bought it. If I buy another vehicle it will be from Blossom Chevrolet and I highly recommend their sales department. I have no experience with the service department so I can't say one way or the other in that regard.Read More
"Worst service ever"- Michael W
I have a 2016 Chevrolet Cruze with only 9700 miles on it. Took the car to Blossom for service and they said it needed new front brakes. Took car to another shop for a second opinion. To find out that 3 of the four brake pads still had 70% of the pad left. One pad was totally gone and had damaged the rotor. Blossom would not cover this under the 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. Tara they're so called service manager was very rude. I will never ever purchase another vehicle from this dealer.Read More

Courtesy of my brother in law Willie, and in reckless gambling style, I toast the progress of my month ahead of time.
Cuban no less! This is full commitment here. Its like betting on a gut shot straight before the flop.
November! A good month to do the spring cleaning I should have done last year. Mentally, that is. And, with the aid of the kind and talented Molly Blaisdell and her 4th Annual Golden Coffee Cup, I am getting some serious work done. This corresponds with the Novel in a Month movement that has inspired so many people to get off their butts and go out and ... sit on their butts for long periods of time.
Anyways. Thanks, Molly! I needed this. AND, I am making good progress, though the third day into it may be too soon to start celebrating anything, much less firing up cigars. I am worried about the trips I have to take this month and the other bits and pieces all fitting in. But, heck... to quote the Unfiltered Mouth of the Republican Party (also known as that college kid in Borat who charms millions with his thoughts on slavery and women's rights), "I don't give a F. I'll do it."
Speaking of progress, if you are using a Mac, you may consider trying this awesome program out! Mac Freedom. You set the time and it turns off the internet for that period of time. Kachow, to borrow from Lightnin' McQueen. An amazingly helpful tool if you are like me and you check your email after quitting the email program, in case that sound you heard upon its closure was a new message sneaking in. I saw it on someone's blog recently and while I cannot for the life of me recall whose it was, I am grateful I found it. Very glad to find a way to escape the clutches of the social media machine.
Ok. Well, got to go check Facebook...

The movie "Lincoln" has revived discussions about the issue of slavery in America and whether or not old Abe deserves to be remembered as the "Great Emancipator" or even more to the point as "Honest Abe." One of the controversies the movie rekindled is whether or not Lincoln deserves the deification he has received in most history books—particularly public school textbooks. Historians know that Lincoln's motives were more nuanced and perhaps less noble than the typical history book would lead one to believe. But of course, this is a statement that could be made about any American president.
I can still remember a discussion about Abraham Lincoln that took place in a college class way back in the 1970s. Our professor was determined that we would learn to approach history from an intellectual perspective. He wanted us to be able to argue history on the basis of facts and critical, objective thinking about the facts rather than from an emotional perspective. Consequently, no matter what the issue being discussed in class might be, if you took side A the professor would take side B. If you took side B, he would take side A. Further, he could argue either side of practically any issue with equal force and persuasiveness.
One day the issue being discussed was the Emancipation Proclamation. The professor had parsed the Emancipation Proclamation and explained in detail what it really meant and what Lincoln's intentions were in drafting it. Having studied the document and the circumstances surrounding its development myself, I thought the professor's presentation was both accurate and benign. But one of the students in our class—a black man in his early 20s—became incensed when the professor suggested that we look at Lincoln more carefully before elevating him to "Mount Olympus." Before the discussion was over, this young black student stomped out of class and never returned. I still remember what the professor said after the angry student left: "You will never be a historian of any worth until you can put emotional presuppositions aside and objectively go where the facts lead you."
The Lincoln movie revived a personal quandary that has puzzled me for as long as I have been able to read history: Why do black Americans worship Abraham Lincoln? Ask almost any person—black or white—this question and their likely response will be "Because he freed the slaves." This response, of course, just shows that most Americans understand neither the purpose nor the substance of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, the document most Americans believe freed the slaves near the end of the War Between the States. Even liberal historians—though they are loathe to admit it—know that Lincoln's goal during the "Civil War" was to preserve the Union, not to free the slaves. For Lincoln slavery was, in the final analysis, an issue he could seize upon to aid his cause of preserving the Union. And when Lincoln published the Emancipation Proclamation, he was sorely in need of a rallying issue.
The reason I have never understood the worshipful attitude toward Abraham Lincoln by black Americans goes well beyond a detailed study of the Emancipation Proclamation and the circumstances surrounding it. My question grows out of the words of Lincoln himself, words that in many cases would not endear a black person to our 16th president. I recount some of those words in this column. For a more extensive treatment of this question, refer to the book Lincoln Unmasked by Thomas DiLorenzo.
Here is what Lincoln said during one of the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates: "I am not, nor have ever been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes nor of qualifying them to hold office nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races, which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality." Lincoln, of course, was wrong about this assertion of racial inequality as black Americans have proven over and over. In fact, if a presidential candidate were to utter these same words today he would immediately be labeled a racist unworthy of our nation's highest office, and rightly so.
Because the Emancipation Proclamation is often cited as the reason so many black Americans adore Abraham Lincoln, I have always found the following quote from our 16th president interesting: "I view the matter (the Emancipation Proclamation) as a practical war measure, to be decided upon according to the advantages or disadvantages it may offer to the suppression of the rebellion." In other words, the overriding purpose of the Emancipation Proclamation was to advance the cause of the Union not to free the slaves. Another practical goal of the Emancipation Proclamation was to keep France from entering the Civil War on the side of the South. About this goal Lincoln said: "I will also concede that emancipation would help us in Europe, and convince them that we are incited by something more than ambition."
The Emancipation Proclamation was a controversial document despised by pro and anti-slavery factions alike. Perhaps the most damning comment about it was one made by Lincoln's Secretary of State, William Seward, who thought the proclamation hypocritical: "We show our sympathy with slavery by emancipating slaves where we cannot reach them and holding them in bondage where we can set them free." Seward's comment was accurate. What he was referring to was the fact that Lincoln's proclamation declared the slaves residing in the 11 southern states—states over which Lincoln had no control—to be free while doing nothing to free the slaves in the border states the North did control.
As a rule Americans are very poor historians. We do not study our own history and the little we are taught in the public schools is watered down to the level of academic mush, distorted for political purposes, and used to indoctrinate rather than educate. This brings to mind what my history professor said that eventful day in class I described earlier: "You will never be a historian of any worth until you can put emotional presuppositions aside and objectively go where the facts lead you."

The police on Friday arrested seven people on the charge of murdering Sonu Jumman Khan, 24, and seriously injuring his younger brother, Kallu, 21. They are also looking for an eighth accused.
"The main accused, Ajay Survade, a driver, was having an affair with a co-accused, who we suspect was also having an affair with one Aman, which led to a heated argument between Aman and Ajay on Thursday night." said senior inspector AV Nadgauda, Bhandup police station.
"After the argument, Ajay went looking for Aman with Kavita and six of his friends, in his employer's Scorpio. They knew Sonu was Aman's friend and could tell them about his whereabouts," said Sanjay Shintre, deputy commissioner of police (zone 7).
"Around 1.30am on Friday, the accused reached Sonapur area in Bhandup ,shoved Sonu and Kallu, into the car, and took them to an isolated spot," said Nadgauda. "When the brothers claimed to be unaware about Aman's location, the accused beat them up with iron rods and fled the spot," he added.
A passerby who witnessed the incident called the police. The duo was rushed to the hospital, where Sonu succumbed to his injuries. Kallu is out of danger, the police said.
By tracking down the Scorpio, the police found the accused. "All the accused are aged between 19 to 25 years. We suspect they were under the influence of alcohol," said. Nadgauda. A case of murder and kidnapping has been registered against the accused.

Bonus MP3: Daniel Folmer -- "Roaring Twenties"
Daniel Daugherty
We've said plenty about Daniel Folmer in the past few weeks by covering his new disc The Roaring Twenties in print, taking a slideshow of his Denton CD release party, and even talking about his new work in our debut podcast last week. But, I dunno, maybe you'd want to maybe hear his work? And, who knows, maybe dowenload it for free?
Funny you asked. Folmer's been kind enough to offer the kinda-title track from his new disc to DC9 readers as a free download. Check it out...

Dr. does not listen well and has even poorer communication skills. He sometimes almost doesn't seem to understand what he's been told. Office staff is courteous, but not well trained. It's almost as if they are unsure as to what to do unless Dr. tells them. When asked questions, he does not explain very well,; answers are almost unintelligible. His bio indicates extensive training, but does not translate into treatment.

Worst Dr. experience ever!! I have never written a negative review about a doctor online, but felt compelled after having such a bad experience. The office staff is extremely rude and didn't fill prescriptions after several calls, no follow-up, provided different excuses etc. when inquired, etc. The staff is very incompetence and Dr. requiring costly procedures before treatment or advising what the issues are. I WOULD STAY AWAY AND WISH I CAME ACROSS THIS REVIEW FIRST!!

did not take the time to find out the problem
I went to this dr. after being over-medicated by another dr. After I informed him I had already had 4 injections that did not work, he felt it necessary to give two more injections before trying to figure out what was wrong...even though after mri, ct, and 2 years of therapy from previous dr. was not taken into consideration. Also, he only wanted to inject without giving any management meds (which i need every now and again). bad choice, waste of time and money

office horrible
His receptionist Cynthia and nurse Edith can be very unprofessional. After calling a total of 8 times over the course of five days, I still had to wait until the next day to even be seen. Then, when I went in, he prescribed things that were expensive and did not help at all for pain. He was very nice but seemed like he did not understand how much pain I was in. I wish I would not have had to switch because that is a nightmare with pain doctors, but I ultimately switched because of his staff

Excellent doctor!
Dr. Farrell took his time and listened to what I had to say and explained all my xrays and mri films with me. I never spent this much time with a pain doctor! He also pushed me into doing physical therapy which at first I didn't like, but in the end helped me a great deal. Dr. Farrell is really good and he doesn't push a lot of pain pills on people. I read some of these other reviews and I don't know what their problem is, but Dr. Farrell was kind, professional and very accurate with his diagnosis. I'm soooo much better now and I would (and have) recommended him to my own family members.

all he cared was injections
the problem is that he can not diagnose. his objective during the visits is how to inject and inject and inject without thorough examination and trying to understand the problem. only when all injections we completed did he try to find what the problem is. going there is a waste of time and you can risk your life with him.

Great Doctor and Office Staff
First of all, I got in the day I called to make the appointment. Also,I usually have the "white coat" syndrome. This doctor has great bedside manner and that made me feel comfortable. I had a procedure done and my pain is gone!!! His office even called to check on me a few days after my procedure! Great Doctor, Great Staff and finally someone who understands Great Customer "Patient" Service!

Dr. failed to provide a thorough exam, just poked both sides of hip, when it hurt just ordered a CT so he could inject. His staff refused to let me talk to the doctor when I had a question after the visit. Staff was rude and failed to listen to what the problem was, just ran mouth. She actually hung up on me!

Good Doctor / Unfriendly Front Office
Dr. A. Farrell has great bedside manner and doesn't over diagnose his patients unnecessarily. However, his front office staff is unfriendly. My husband went to get himself a cup of complimentary hot chocolate when one of the staff members quizzed him about why he was there. When my husband told her "I'm here with my wife" she wanted to know my name to verify he did not come in off the street to steal their free hot chocolate. It was embarrassing to say the least. Also instead of billing you after your visit they estimate your coinsurance and do not give you clear and adequate billing receipt. But I truly appreciated Dr. Farrell and his care and concern for me as a patient.

text: I am looking for information that clarifies the following question. If a serviceman or woman diagnosed with PTSD or PTSD type problems embarks on a course of alternative or complementary therapy, and subsequently makes a full and complete recovery. Does this have any impact on his or her pension or disability allowance? This question is raised as part of research for http://www.ptsdhelp.co.uk/ using the example that if a serviceman / woman loses a limb and receives a prosthetic limb they can become an Olympic athlete if they desire or continue on a relatively normal life injury not withstanding without loosing their Pension or disability allowance. Because PTSD is an emotional injury with no physical damage (for the purpose of this question any physical injury is separate from the question)and many sufferers do not seek help for fear of loosing their pension or allowance and this is seen as a barrier to them seeking treatment. Your responses and experiences are welcomed.

The British Government was last night accused of caving in to demands for tariffs on shoes in a "back-room deal" to protect its opt-out from European rules on the maximum working week.
Retailers said ministers were planning a U-turn on the objections to plans to impose a tariff of up to 16.3 per cent on shoes from China and Vietnam.
The British Retail Consortium said giving in to demands from shoe manufacturers in Italy, Spain and Portugal would put up the price of goods on the high street. Its Brussels director, Alisdair Gray, said: "This should not be about compromise terms, arm-twisting or dubious back-room deals."
The European Union has been split by demand from countries with major footwear manufacturing bases to impose taxes to counter a flood of cheap shoes from the Far East.
The European Commission decided to impose the tax after conducting an investigation, but the proposal appeared to been have sunk after most EU states including the UK voted against it. But a proposal from Austria has put the issue back on the table. An EU committee, called Commercial Questions, will debate it on Monday or Tuesday. If a deal can be brokered there, it would go to a committee of ambassadors which would draw up the details to be rubber-stamped by the European Council next month.
The BRC said it believed the UK was keen to get support for its opt-out from the Working Time Directive that includes the 48-hour week. Their stance has been weakened by European court judgments that have included on-call waiting time in the working week.
"It's clear the UK is coming under strong pressure to end its opposition in return for support over the individual opt-out to the Working Time Directive. We urge the UK Government to stand firm," Mr Gray said.
The TUC said the UK was under pressure to find a solution to the on-call problem as part of an agreement to phase out the opt-out to the 48-hour week. "The TUC does not believe there's any need for the opt-out, and if there's a phased-in process employers will be left wondering what all the fuss is all about," a spokesman said.
The EU has until 5 October to renew a temporary tariff regime put in place at the start of the year. That would see duties imposed for the next 12 months, rather than five years, with an evaluation of their effect before any extension.
On Wednesday, Austria unexpectedly suggested a one-year extension of the provisional customs duties introduced in April and to review them afterwards. Austria, which voted against the original five-year plan, appeared to change tack after the intervention of the Italian Prime Minister, Romano Prodi. Italy and other southern European states hope to return a part of the Far Eastern shoe production to their countries.Reuse content

The following application relates to thin film electroluminescent phosphor material and in particular to alkaline earth sulfide thin films with multiple coactivator dopants.
Thin films of rare earth doped alkaline earth sulfides such as cerium doped strontium sulfide have been extensively investigated for applications in full color AC thin film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) display devices. Such a device is shown in Barrow et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,751,427. The emission spectrum of SrS:Ce is very broad covering both blue and green portions of the visible spectrum, i.e., 440 to 660 nm with a peak at around 500 nm. A full color ACTFEL display device can be obtained by adding a red emitting phosphor, for example CaS:Eu or one that has a red component in its emission spectrum. With such a combination of films, one can build a white light emitting phosphor stack. White phosphor structures can then be laminated with primary color filters to build a color display which is very cost effective in terms of production.
With white light emitting phosphor stacks, however, the blue portion of the emission spectrum can be rather weak, particularly strontium sulfide phosphor doped with cerium which in the past has been the most promising of the blue emitting phosphors. Only about 10% of the original luminance can be obtained after filtering if a nearly blue color is to be achieved. For blue coloration in the CIE range of x=0.10, y=0.13 the transmission ratio is further reduced to only about 4%. Therefore, to produce a color display with acceptable luminance, it is necessary to use a lighter blue color filter but this in turn leads to a compromised blue chromaticity. Any display fabricated with such a poor blue chromaticity has a limited color gamut and is unable to produce the range of colors available with CRT or LCD technology.
Therefore, in order to achieve a high performance color ACTFEL display, the blue emission efficiency of the EL phosphor thin film must be greatly improved. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,725, 344, Yocom, et al., a method is disclosed for forming alkaline earth sulfide luminescent films by chemical reaction between alkaline earth metal halide and hydrogen sulfide on heated substrates. Yocom, et al. does show a strontium sulfide thin film phosphor which has a more bluish color (CIE x=0.17, y=0.25) than an unfiltered SrS:Ce device. However, the luminance performance of the Yocom et al. device is not high enough for practical application. Experimentation has also been reported regarding SrS:Cu devices which are prepared by sputtering, for example in Ohnishi et al., proceedings of the SID 31/1, 31 (1992). The Ohnishi et al. device, however, is even dimmer than the Yocom et al. device (and no color data is available) Thus, to date producers of thin film electroluminescent devices have yet to produce a blue emitting phosphor having sufficient luminance for use in a full color ACTFEL device.
The luminance of a blue light emitting phosphor is substantially improved according to the present invention which includes an ACTFEL device having front and rear electrode sets, a pair of insulators sandwiched between the front and rear electrode sets, and a thin film electroluminescent laminar stack which includes a phosphor layer having the formula MII S:D,H where MII is taken from the group calcium, strontium, barium, and magnesium, S=sulfur, D is taken from the group copper, lead, gold, silver, magnesium, antimony, bismuth and arsenic, and H is taken from the group fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. Alternatively, the laminar stack may have the formula MII S:D,H,F where F is taken from the group gallium, indium, aluminum, germanium, silicon, lanthanum, scandium, and yttrium.
Preferably the phosphor laminate stack is annealed at between 550 degrees and 850 degrees centigrade prior to deposition of the top insulator layer. The MII S:D,H,F layer includes concentrations of dopants as follows: the primary dopant D should be between 0.05 and 5 mol %; H should be between 0.05 and 5 mol % and F should be between 0.5 and 10 mol %. Additional phosphor layers in the electroluminescent laminate stack may be of materials th a it produce red and green light respectively so that the laminate stack as a whole produces "white" light. The layers in the EL phosphor laminate stack may be deposited by sputtering, atomic layer epitaxy, evaporation and MOCVD. The preferred formulation for the MII S:D,H,F layer is SrS:Cu,I,Ga. This device produces a blue emitting phosphor device having a broad band emission spectrum capable of producing a deep blue color and having a luminance efficiency which is more than double the best available blue emitting phosphor to date.
The foregoing and other objectives, features, and advantages of the invention will be more readily understood upon consideration of the following detailed description of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a partial side cutaway view of an ACTFEL device constructed according to the invention.
FIG. 1A is a partial side cutaway view of an alternative embodiment of an ACTFEL device made according to the invention.
FIG. 2 is a graph illustrating the spectral characteristics of one prepared sample of the blue emitting phosphor of the invention.
FIG. 3 is a graph illustrating the brightness and efficiency versus voltage characteristics of the phosphor sample of FIG. 2.
An ACTFEL device 10 as shown in FIG. 1 includes a glass substrate 12 onto which is deposited a layer of indium tin oxide 14. Next an insulator layer 16 comprising an aluminum/titanium oxide is deposited. A phosphor layer 18 comprises a thin film of SrS:Cu,I,Ga. The phosphor layer 18 is sandwiched by a second insulator 20 preferably made of barium tantalate (BTO). Aluminum electrodes 22 are placed atop the BTO layer 20. The first insulator layer 16 is preferably approximately 260 nanometers thick and is deposited by atomic layer epitaxy (ALE). The electroluminescent phosphor layer 18 may be 600 nanometers to 2 micrometers thick and it is deposited by sputtering from an SrS target prepared with the following doping concentration: copper, 0.05 to 5 mol %; iodine, 0.05 to 5 mol %; gallium, 0.5 to 10 mol %. To make a full color panel, a second phosphor layer such as ZnS:Mn or other red emitting phosphor (not shown in FIG. 1) may be deposited on the layer 18. During deposition, the substrate temperature is held to between 75 degrees and 500 degrees C. The phosphor films are then annealed at 550 degrees to 850 degrees C in nitrogen. This is followed by the deposition of the second insulator layer 20 which is 300 nanometers of BTO. The top aluminum electrodes 22 complete the device fabrication. Red, blue, and green filters may be interposed between the bottom electrode layer 14 and the viewer (not shown) to provide a filtered full-color TFEL display.
FIG. 1A shows an "inverted" structure electroluminescent device 40 that is similar to FIG. 1. The device 40 is constructed with a substrate 44 that preferably has a black coating 46 on the lower side if the substrate 44 is transparent. On the substrate 44 are deposited rear electrodes 48. Between the rear electrodes 48 and the rear dielectric layer 50 is a thin film absorption layer 42. The absorption layer is either constructed of multiple graded thin film layers or is a continuous graded thin film layer ma de by any appropriate method. An electroluminescent layer 52 which may be a laminated structure including at least one layer having the formula MII S:D,H,F is sandwiched between a rear dielectric layer 50 and a front dielectric layer 54. In an alternative embodiment, either dielectric layer 50 or 54 could be removed. A transparent electrode layer 56 is formed on the front dielectric layer 54 and is enclosed by a transparent substrate 58 which includes color filter elements 60, 62 and 64 filtering red, blue and green light, respectively.
The emission band of the SrS:Cu,I,Ga layer is very broad, spanning from 400 nm to 670 nm. Most samples of this phosphor exhibit either a single band or a double band with a peak position which varies between 470 and 530 nm. Devices with a single peak such as a sample whose spectral characteristics are shown in FIG. 2, have a peak at 480 nm and color coordinates of CIE x=0.156, y=0.238. This sample was prepared with an SrS sputtering target doped with 1 mol % copper, 1 mol % iodine and 5 mol % gallium. Other samples of this material have produced a single peak at 530 nanometers which has a very good green color where CIE x=0.268, y=0.547.
As shown below in Table 1 the luminance and efficiency of SrS:Cu,I,Ga phosphors is twice that of SrS:Ce through a blue filter.

The thiogallate phosphors, also shown in the table, have a more saturated blue color. However, by normalizing the luminance efficiency with regard to human photo-optic sensitivity, the normalized efficiencies (see last column of Table 1) of the thiogallates are still less than half of those measured from SrS:Cu,I,Ga. Normalized luminous efficiency is defined here as the luminous efficiency divided by the CIE y coordinate value. In addition, the threshold field of the strontium sulfide based phosphor is normally around 1 megavolt per centimeter which is half of that measured in the thiogallate phosphors. This advantage is clearly demonstrated in the table because the threshold voltage of thiogallate devices with a 0.45 micrometer thick phosphor is already close to the practical limit of 185 volts, while those of the SrS based devices with a phosphor thickness between 0.7 to 1 micrometer are still only 114 to 150 volts. Since device luminance varies almost linearly with phosphor thickness, the luminance of SrS:Cu,I,Ga, is at least four times the most efficient thiogallate device.
The reason for the significant improvement of the SrS:Cu,I,Ga devices is primarily the use of gallium doping. The gallium appears to react: with SrS to form a low temperature eutectic phase which turns into a liquid when annealed at temperatures above 650 degrees C. The liquid phase drastically reduces the structural defects associated with thin film deposition. The annealed films exhibit equi-axial crystal grains with a size equal to half of the film thickness. This is not unlike the microstructure of a highly sintered phosphor powder. The identity of the low temperature eutectic phase is not entirely clear but it is possibly a pseudo ternary phase of Sr--Ga--S. Therefore, other ternary sulfide forming elements including aluminum, indium, silicon, germanium, lanthanum, scandium and yttrium may have similar effects. In addition, halides including fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine may also participate in the reaction since the melting point of strontium iodide is only 515 degrees C.
The emission mechanism for copper ions in strontium sulfide is considered to be an intra-atomic transition likely between "s" or "p" and "d" electron levels since SrS:Cu without any codopant is a very efficient green emitting CRT phosphor with a peak wave length at 530 nanometers. The blue shift of emission color induced by iodine doping is probably a type of crystal field effect but the exact mechanism is not known. In addition, it has been determined that copper doping of calcium sulfide produces a much more saturated blue color, and therefore a true blue color (CIE y=0.10-0.15) may be achieved by copper doping of a mixed strontium sulfide/calcium sulfide host. In addition a reddish color may be obtained by copper or gold doping of barium sulfide. In a variation of the phosphor described above the halide co-dopant may be omitted to produce a green light emitting phosphor. For example strontium sulfide doped with copper and gallium produces a green peak wavelength at 530 nm and CIE coordinates x=0.268, y=0.547.
Therefore, a new group of broad band electroluminescent phosphors can be achieved by the combination of the above mentioned phosphors as well as others. In general a metallic sulfide could include calcium, strontium, barium or magnesium with dopants that may include copper, lead, silver, gold, magnesium, antimony, bismuth, and arsenic and further including halide codopants as well as codopants taken from the group gallium, indium, aluminum, germanium, silicon, lanthanum, scandium and yttrium.
The present inventor came to the further realization that the phosphor may be composed of MII S:D,H without the F dopant described above. In particular, the present inventor came to the realization that the sputtering processes results in generally small crystal grains that tend to impede the potential luminance of the phosphor. The addition of the F, and in particular Ga, seems to result in larger crystal growth which principally increases the device luminance. Alternative thin-film phosphor deposition techniques, such as atomic layer epitaxy, evaporation, and MOCVD, do not necessary need Ga to form an improved blue emission. Thin-films deposited by atomic layer epitaxy, evaporation, and MOCVD tend to form high quality crystal structures so the F (or Ga) is not necessary for improved crystal growth and increased grain size.
The terms and expressions which have been employed in the foregoing specification are used therein as terms of description and not of limitation, and there is no intention, in the use of such terms and expressions, of excluding equivalents of the features shown and described or portions thereof, it being recognized that the scope of the invention is defined and limited only by the claims which follow.

In today's world, several multinational organizations focus on employee engagement as one of their key objectives. While organizations invest a lot on engagement measurement and set global strategies to achieve higher levels of engagement, several executives challenge the effectiveness of the measurement tools and question if global strategies succeed in addressing the local engagement needs. What is employee engagement all about? Are global solutions credible enough to be applied in the Middle East? Are universal solutions possible? And are solutions "time-proof"? Why do HR and Business leaders just follow the status quo when dealing with employee engagement? Why do leaders just simply "buy" off-the-shelf engagement surveys without asking themselves if the results will be valid? Is it worth the investment? This book combines the academic work as well as practitioners' experience and presents a solution to HR and business strategists on how to globalize engagement, while maintaining local sense.

Animal Model Sixteen mice of the strain C57/BL6 were used in this experiment. Ten mice were affected with MPS IIIB. Six mice were heterozygote carriers of MPS IIIB. Mice were housed in accordance with IACUC and NIH guidelines. Irradiation and Bone Marrow Transplantation Ten affected mice were irradiated using a linear accelerator. Four out of the ten mice were used as bone marrow recipients. Six mice were used as bone marrow donors. Bone Marrow Harvesting The femurs and tibias of mice were flushed with Phosphated Buffer Saline. Trypsin was used to remove the bone marrow from the Petri dish. ACK was used to lyse red blood cells. Assessment of Lethality Post-irradiation, the mice were monitored twice a day. Center for Integrated Animal Genomics Research Experience in Molecular Biotechnology & Genomics Summer 2010 Angela A.

Matthew Ellinwood 2 1 Department of Biology, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, 2 Department of Animal Science, Iowa State University Program supported by the National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates DBI-0552371 Lethal Irradiation and Bone Marrow Transplantation in the Mouse Model of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIB What is a Lysosomal Storage Disease? Caused by single-gene defects that affect lysosomal function. Results in cellular accumulation of undigested substrates Currently 40 known lysosomal storage diseases. The incidence of lysosomal storage diseases is 1 in 7,700 births. What are Mucopolysaccharidoses? A group of inherited lysosomal storage disorders. Characterized by deficiency of lysosomal enzymes to degrade glycosaminoglycans. Cellular accumulation of glycosamino- glycans results in damage to several bodily systems including central nervous system, muscoskeletal system, cardiorespiratory system, etc. There are 6 distinct forms that are each characterized by GAG storage and type of enzyme deficiency. What is Mucopolysaccharidoses Type IIIB? There are four variant forms of MPS III: Type A, B, C, and D. Each form is caused by a deficiency of one of the four enzymes that degrades heparan sulfate. MPS IIIB is caused by a mutation on the gene located on chromosome 17q21. Caused by the deficient enzyme α-N-acetylglucosaminidase, which cannot degrade heparan sulfate. o MPS IIIB is marked by progressive degeneration of the central nervous system. Affected children exhibit progressive mental retardation, sleep disorders, aggressive behavior, dementia, and hyperactivity. Mortality is common around the second decade of life. What Current Treatments Are Available? There is no available treatment to cure this rare disorder. Therapies focus on decreasing substrate storage and increasing catalytic activity. Enzyme Replacement Therapy: infusion of exogenous enzymes. Gene Therapy: genetically-modified, enzyme producing cells. Substrate Deprivation Therapy: inhibit substrate synthesis. Bone Marrow Transplantation: provision of donor-derived, enzyme producing cells. Overall objective is to identify a curative therapy to treat neuopathic lysosomal disorders including MPS IIIB. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using a single 8-gray dose to lethally irradiate MPS IIIB mice, and to successfully rescue irradiated mice using BMT transplant. Assessment of Mouse Activity Future studies involve: Determining an accurate dosage of lethal irradiation Making an irradiation gradient ranging from 4 gray to 8 gray Utilizing five groups of three transplanted mice and one non-transplanted mouse On Day 7 of experimentation, mice began exhibiting signs of distress. Day 9 of experimentation, irradiated mice were demonstrating Level 1 and 2 behaviors (see Table I). Transplanted mice: One mouse died unexpectedly Another mouse exhibited unusual facial and bodily swelling Mice were euthanized according to Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) requirements. As a result, the optimal bone marrow transplantation parameters remained undefined. Figure 3. Image of mouse from C57/BL 6 strain.

Analyzing BMT results, one of the transplanted mice exhibited unusual facial and bodily swelling. The definite cause of this atypical symptom in this mouse was not elucidated. It can be hypothesized that the facial swelling may have been attributed to a bacterial infection. The failure of the Bone Marrow Transplantation could be attributed to several factors: Insufficient number and poor quality of graft tissues Recipient specific engraftment problems Excessive dosage of irradiation A weakened immune system and the lapse of time before the BMT procedure (24 hours and 48 hours)

Mr Hume has a tax-free lump sum of 25 per cent of his pension pot, plus an additional lump sum of severance pay.
Mr and Mrs Hume took out Tessas five years ago. In the next few weeks they will receive the final maturity values on his Bradford and Bingley Tessa and her Britannia one. The Bradford & Bingley account is among the better performers of Tessas now maturing. The Humes like the safety of this tax-free account, and will be reinvesting the pounds 9,000 capital in a Tessa 2. But they are not sure what to do with the accumulated interest.
Mr Hume owns some shares in his old company, and has put them into a self-select PEP. This allows him tax-free income and capital gains.
The Humes have accumulated five PEPs investing in unit trusts since 1988. Their portfolio contains high-income funds from Bradford & Bingley, Prudential, Perpetual and Britannia, but they are reinvesting the income for future growth. They may now consider taking some income to help maintain theirlifestyle. ''We like the flexibility of being able to take an income as and when you need it,'' said Mr Hume.
The couple also have a five-year tax-free savings policy with Homeowners Friendly Society, plus a tax-free SAYE savings account (no longer available to new savers) with a building society.

Keith Harkin is an Irish singer songwriter and guitar playing minstrel who has been singing his way into the hearts of music lovers since the wee age of four. His musical talents have brought him across the world from the UK to Canada to Australia to America and back, over and over again in his past eight years touring.
Since his first solo release, Keith has been writing all of his own material for his highly anticipated, second album "On Mercy Street", to be released March, 11, 2016. This album takes a different, deeper more personal direction into Keith's musical styling.
Longtime friends and talented Producers, Andy Wright and Gavin Goldberg, took this album under their wings as if it were their own and helped Keith to bring his own style, sound and vibes to life in Sphere Studios, London. Keith's love for the classics (Don Henley, Glen Campbell, Tom Waits, Neil Young & Van Morrison show - to name a few) are reflected in his collection of folk-infused, acoustic pop sounds. Combined with his honey-thick voice and a full live band, Keith takes you on journey that creeps into his heart strings.
While working on his solo career, Keith also has continued to perform as a lead soloist in Celtic Thunder. His role in Celtic Thunder has brought him to write and record a number of his own songs for the show, as well as, perform for a vast audience Worldwide, including President Obama and the first Lady and recording numerous PBS specials.
During his time touring the States, he gained recognition from Grammy Award-winning Producer, David Foster, who then went on to sign Keith as one of his first artists to Verve Records. Keith released his first solo debut album with Foster and Verve Records, where they watched it soar to the number 1 spot on the Billboard charts.
When Keith isn't touring or recording, you can catch him at the beach surfing or continuing the gypsy travel life from adventure to adventure. But always with a guitar nearby.
