Moody's has joined Fitch in declining to downgrade the US credit rating after passage of the debt limit deal, though they still have the US on a negative outlook. This means Standard and Poor's can play their little game and it won't functionally matter, because the other two agencies still have the US at triple-A.
Meanwhile, a Chinese rating agency did actually downgrade US debt all the way to an A, which could resonate with their sovereign wealth funds. The agency, Dagong, appeared to not so much downgrade the credit rating as the political system:
"The squabbling between the two political parties on raising the U.S. debt ceiling reflected an irreversible trend on the United States' declining ability to repay its debts," Dagong Chairman Guan Jianzhong told CNN.
"The two parties acted in a very irresponsible way and their actions greatly exposed the negative impact of the U.S. political system on its economic fundamentals," he said.
To the extent that there's any fallout from the political gridlock in Washington, it's that the country cannot execute the simple, fundamental steps to improve economic performance. Contractionary fiscal policy gets combined with an anti-expansionary debt limit deal to magnify the effects of the end of the stimulus. We have the numbers on this. 1.5% reduction in GDP. 1.8 million jobs. Even if somehow, miraculously, the payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance were extended, that's just extending current law and doing no harm. The current environment is not characterized by massive job growth, and "the weather" or "supply chains from an earthquake in March" are becoming less and less trustworthy excuses. The fiscal drag is undeniable, and the economy cannot support it.
Tim Geithner's attempts at selling the deal border on comical, if millions of families were not at stake. [cont'd.]
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: But don't you think that any deficit reduction now will — will hurt the attempts of the economy to recover?
TIM GEITHNER: You know, I think the — basic reality we live with and, you know, part of governing is recognize we live with — we don't have unlimited resources, and we inherited and are left with unsustainable deficits long term. And the president understands that for the sake of the economy long- term it's very important we demonstrate to the American people, to people around the world that we can get our arms around this and start go back to living' within our means.
Now, we want to do that very carefully so we create room for the economy to grow and we have the resources necessary to invest in things that are going to be very important to the future like education, like infrastructure, like incentives for private investment. And to do that, it is absolutely essential to lock in these long term savings. Now — the president was very strong on this and made sure that we were not going to accept spending cuts that would damage the prospects for near term recovery. Now, with this behind us, and we get this —
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: So this won't cost us jobs?
TIM GEITHNER: No, it will not. Now … if we put this behind us then we can turn back to the important challenge of trying to find ways to make sure that we do everything we can to get more people back to work, strengthen our growth. And we'll have more ability to do that now with people more confident and we can start to get our arms around the long-term problems.
Ultimately this comes down to the confidence fairy approach. While the near-term cuts are smaller than expected, the entire concept puts us in a fiscal straitjacket. And the cuts hit the very areas of public investment and infrastructure and education, in the discretionary budget, that make winning the future, whatever the hell that means, impossible. Heck, Larry Summers sees this:
The United States's current problem is much more a jobs and growth deficit than an excessive budget deficit. This is confirmed by the fact that a single bad economic statistic more than wiped out all the stock market gains from the avoidance of default and the fact that bond yields reached new lows at the moment of maximum apparent danger on the debt limit.
On the current policy path which involves a substantial withdrawal of fiscal stimulus when the payroll tax cuts expire at the end of the year, it would be surprising if growth was rapid enough even to bring unemployment down to 8.5 percent by the end of 2012. With growth at less than 1 percent in the first half of the year, the economy is now at stall speed—with the prospects of adverse shocks from a European financial crisis that is decidedly not under control, spikes in oil prices, and confidence declines on the part of businesses and households. Based on the flow of statistics, the odds of the economy going back into recession are at least 1 in 3 if nothing new is done to raise demand and spur growth.
The White House will tell you that they are committed to this, through extending those two big stimulus programs (payroll tax cut and UI), and a host of other ideas. But these have to grind through the same Congress. And it looks like the bill with the best chance for passage is a bill on patent reform, and only because the Senate is just going to eat the House bill. (Remember when the House would have to continually eat the Senate versions of bills? I guess the relative conservatism of the chamber matters to which one dominates.) And let's be real, no economist with a straight face will say that patent reform is a job creator.
I'm not seeing a path to anything but fiscal contraction. There are plenty of things that the executive branch could do with existing authority – TARP funds, TALF money, monetary policy, Chinese currency reform – but they've shown no appetite to do it. Look at Summers' last paragraph, and remember it six months from now.

10. The garment of
11. The garment of
12. The garment of
The present invention relates generally to a garment and more particularly to a ventilated garment.
Garments, such as jackets and combined pant/jacket racing suits, are commonly used by people operating motor sport vehicles such as a motorcycle, all-terrain vehicle or snowmobile. Such jackets and suits commonly employ an outer shell covering the complete torso and arms of the person, and an inner insulative liner which can be removed for warm weather use. For example, reference should be made to U.S. Pat. No. 6,263,510 entitled "Ventilating Garment" which issued to Bay et al. on Jul. 24, 2001. This patent is incorporated by reference herein.
Another conventional motorcycle jacket employed a leather torso have perforations on the shoulder, chest, back and lower torso regions. It also had solid and non-perforated sleeves sewn to the torso. A non-perforated and wind resistant vest was optionally provided to externally cover the perforated torso of the jacket but could be removed to allow air entry through the torso holes. A first vertical zipper was provided for the front of the jacket torso and a second front vertical zipper was provided for the vest. This conventional jacket, however, suffered from the disadvantages of allowing undesired air flow through the sleeve-to-torso openings between the vest and jacket interface, ultraviolet light penetrating through the perforated shoulders of the torso when the vest was removed thereby leading to sunburn of the wearer, crash protection not being provided at the shoulders of the jacket when the vest was removed, and the two-piece appearance of the vest and jacket being unattractive.
U.S. Patent Publication No. 2005/0235392 entitled "Hybrid Ventilated Garment," which was invented by M. Bay and is incorporated by reference herein, discloses a significant improvement in garment venting. Nevertheless, there is further room for improvement in venting while providing different aesthetic appearances.
In accordance with the present invention, a ventilated garment is provided. Another aspect of the present invention employs a jacket having a body portion with sleeves and a torso, and a removable shell portion having sleeve and a laterally elongated chest and/or back segment. A further aspect of the present invention provides aesthetically pleasing interfaces between air permeable and air blocking segments. In still another aspect of the present invention, an air permeable and/or perforated sleeve section is attached to an ultraviolet light blocking upper shoulder section and a dense shell is removably attachable to cover the air permeable sleeve section. In a further aspect of the present invention, a lateral shell section removably blocks air flow through an air permeable section in a generally continuous manner (except for seams, zippers and the like) along the chest, upper sleeve and upper back regions of the garment.
The present invention garment is advantageous over traditional jackets in that the present invention always provides ultraviolet light blockage along the wearer's shoulders and upper arm portions. The present invention is further advantageous by providing crash protective pads and/or body armor, at least some of which are preformed, even if an outer torso shell is removed. Moreover, the present invention is advantageous by allowing significant torso and sleeve ventilation for use in hot weather yet easily allows attachment of a wind resistant, and/or thermally insulating and/or waterproof portion to cover the underlying air permeable and/or perforated material. The present invention is also aesthetically fashionable and provides easy to use attachment systems which effectively reduce air entry holes when the ventilating material is covered. Furthermore, a lateral oriented and brightly colored stripe is presented when a differently colored, outer cover is removed, thereby achieving a variable and highly stylish appearance. Additional advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Referring to
Crash absorbing padding, also known as body armor, is positioned as follows. A pair of preformed, convex shoulder pads 35 are internally attached within pockets internally sewn to mesh inner liner 29. These pockets are closed at their top edges by hook and loop-type fasteners, or alternately snaps, zippers, stitches or other fasteners. It is optionally envisioned in an alternate embodiment that additional preformed elbow pads are inserted into internal pockets sewn to an inside of liner 29, supplemental generally rigid polymeric shoulder pads can be internally attached to body and/or protective spine pads can be internally attached to body. A generally flat, lower back pad 39 is sewn to the inside of a waistband segment 41, also made of wind resistant material 31. The preformed pads are preferably molded from multi-layer composite, resinated foam-like materials. Some of the body armor pieces disclosed herein, which aid in cushioning the impact the motorcycle user receives during motorcycle crashes, can be readily substituted or supplement by generally rigid polymeric panels having flat or three-dimensionally curved shapes.
Shell 27 includes a left chest segment 38, a left sleeve segment 40, an upper back segment 41, a right sleeve segment 42 and a right chest segment 43. Shell 27 is made from a wind resistant textile fabric outer material 44, like material 31 of body, and a mesh liner 45 sewn thereto. Upper and lower zipper attachment systems 91 and 93, respectively, are sewn to upper and lower central edges of shell 27, and hook-and-loop attachment strips 46 are sewn to the vertical front edges. Sleeve segments 40 and 42 are generally cylindrical from an open end to an armpit area, and are permanently sewn to the chest and back segments. The entire removable shell is flexible or pliable. A fastener is located on each sleeve segment 40 and 42 of shell 27 adjacent a cuff or open end 47. Each fastener includes a fabric tab upon which is mounted a female snap attachment 49. The male snap attachment 51 protrudes from the sleeve for selective attachment with female snap attachment 49. Moreover, a cuff adjustment is disposed adjacent open end 47 of each sleeve segment 40 and 42 which corresponds to a wrist area of the user. Each cuff adjustment includes a zipper assembly 53 with a flexible piece of triangularly-shaped fabric sewn between the zipper tracks and which can be expanded when the zipper 53 is unzipped or hidden from view when zipped.
Furthermore, a sleeve air vent 61 is located on a front and upper segment of each sleeve segment 40 and 42 of shell 27, generally between the elbow and shoulder areas. This can best be observed in
Referring to
Piping welts 77 and 81 are sewn adjacent and parallel to zipper systems 91 and 93. One or more of these welts are reflective to improve night-time visibility of the user for approaching motorists. A pair of torso air vents 83 are similarly constructed to sleeve air vents 61, however, they are generally vertically oriented (when the jacket user is standing) and located on the back and lower, torso area of the jacket above waistband segment 41.
As can best be observed in
Referring to
Outer mesh material 33 is preferably a piece dyed, polyester mesh tricot fabric having perforated holes of approximately two square or diametral millimeters. The outer mesh material has a weight of about 480 gr/yd, and a yarn of about 250 D, S/D, R/W; the mesh can stretch approximately 20%. Inner liner 29 is preferably a lighter weight, polyester knitted fabric having perforated holes of approximately two or three square or diametral millimeters. The much denser wind resistant and ultraviolet light blocking material 31 and 44 located on body 25 and shell 27, respectively, are preferably a 600 denier polyester fabric having a polyurethane inside coating, but may alternately be Taslen or Cordura® brand nylon fabric.
Shown in
Not only does the removable shell provide ventilating benefits to the user's arms, chest and upper back, but it also achieves noteworthy aesthetic appeal. For example, outer mesh 33 is preferably a bright orange color, while wind resistant material 31 and 44 on the shell and body is black. Thus, a striking visual color contrast is observed when the shell is removed. Alternately, outer mesh 33 may be a reflective or luminescent color or material for safety, or may have an artistic design thereon which can be optionally displayed or hidden by the user.
A second preferred embodiment of the present invention garment 21′ is shown in
Another difference is that below the wind resistant shoulder-to-air permeable sleeve interface, sleeves 210 of a body 215 are almost entirely air permeable mesh 216 except for cuffs 217 and seams. This embodiment also has enlarged and more pronounced cuffs 217 adjacent the open sleeve ends of shell 203 and underlying mesh 216 of body 215. A central storm flap 218 attached to body 215 operably covers across the entire intersection of the upper and lower shell zippers and a central zipper system 219, but only in this localized chest area. Additionally, an extended flap 221 extends from a collar 223 across central zipper system 219 and is secured by a snap or hook-and-loop attachment. A pair of elasticized pull cords 231, externally held together at each end by a compressible polymeric toggle and fabric tab, enter eyelets on each side of shell 203 and extend between the outer fabric layer and the inner fabric or liner layer 232. These cords are used to tighten the lateral periphery of the shell in use to minimize air entry. In this configuration, mesh 216 and an outer fabric of shell 203 are a bright red color while a wind resistant outer material 233 of body 215 is black.
While various aspects of the present invention have been disclosed, it should be appreciated that variations may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the shell may include a thermally insulative layer sewn or temporarily attached to the inside thereof. Moreover, alternate snap, hook-and-loop, interlocking barb, button, zipper and other disengagable fasteners can be employed instead of those disclosed, although some of the wind deterrent benefits of the present invention may not be realized. Shirts and other such garments may readily employ certain aspects of the present invention, although some of the advantages of the present invention may not be achieved. The preferred mesh ventilation material may solely be used on the sleeves, the torso, and/or localized portions thereof as long as an outer removable covering is provided, although again, some of the advantages of the present invention may not be fulfilled. Additional PVC or other waterproof coatings may be provided on any of the fabric layers to provide water resistance or waterproofing. It is also envisioned that the outer mesh material employed can be perforated with slits or cuts as long as ventilation is achieved. A leather shell and/or body can be used instead of a textile one, however, various advantages of the present invention may not be utilized. The present invention may alternately be used by bicycle riders, waist bags can be provided at the rear of the body for receiving the removed shell, and waterproof zippers can be provided in place of those disclosed herein. Furthermore, various materials, dimensions and colors have been disclosed in an exemplary fashion, but other materials, dimensions and colors may of course be employed, although some of the advantages of the present invention may not be realized. It is intended by the following claims to cover these and any other departures from the disclosed embodiments which fall within the true spirit of the invention.

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Endicott-Johnson Cutting Room Employees
A belated Labor Day tribute - According notes my aunt made in her father's diary, my grandfather Stefan got his first job in the United States a little more than 3 months after his arrival. On April 11, 1921 he began working at the Gotham Ross Park Factory (in or near Binghamton, NY). He worked there 16 weeks "pulling lastes" (I'd love to know what this means!). He then went to work for Endicott-Johnson Shoe Company (June 10, 1921) first working outside with a shovel and pick, and moved inside (Sept. 22, 1921) to the West End Victory Cutting Room "Block". He finally becoming a leather cutter (upper leather machine) Aug. 22, 1922, the job he held until he died, at work, 26 years later.
This photo was taken in 1937 in honor of the employees 100% participation in a Red Cross and company fund drive. My grandfather is pictured in the second row, sitting in the middle, with an open collar and apron.

Thanks for sharing this interesting group work photo, which looks like it may have been taken with a wide-angle lens, judging by the slight distortion of perspective towards the edges.ReplyDelete
A suggestion: If the Gotham Ross Park Factory also manufactured shoes, then I imagine he was removing shoe lasts from the shoes, once they were complete, and prior to their being packed for shipment. I imagine not a very scintillating - or skilled - job, so perhaps a significant promotion to the cutting room!
Regards and best wishes, Brett
Thanks so much for the info, Brett. I don't know if Gotham made shoes, but it seems more than possible.ReplyDelete
I don't think any of the jobs he held in the U.S. were remotely scintillating, but they allowed him to support his family, buy a home and assure dramatically better lives for his children and grandchildren.
Comments related to the information shared here are most appreciated. All comments are moderated, and since I am not actively researching right now it many take a day or two for your comment to post. Please know that it will post, and that I much appreciate the feedback.

Today, I'm shaing my favorite blondie recipe ever. Ok, so a blondie isn't technically a cookie but can you really pass these up?
When I first spotted pretzel M&Ms on the shelves a couple years ago, I immediately threw them into blondies, sat on my tush, and happily gobbled up one sweet & salty bite after bite. I shared these blondies on my blog earlier this year and my readers adored them.
I know you'll love them as well.
The blondie recipe begins by browning some butter. I swear by browning butter – it adds so much depth and flavor to your baked good – so many caramel and butterscotch undertones. Brown butter is my kitchen's secret little ingredient. And it's so easy! It makes the house smell incredible as it's browning.
The rest of the recipe is pretty straightfoward – flour, brown sugar, egg, baking powder, & vanilla. And you can mix it all up by hand. No mixer required!
The finished blondies are so soft and chewy – they completely melt in your mouth! The crunchy m&ms, the salty pretzels, buttery dough – my new favorite blondie. And they are SO easy to make.

Bo Oshoniyi thought he had a good base to build on when he took over as East Tennessee State's head soccer coach almost two months ago.
He hasn't seen anything to change his mind.
"It's been a good spring season," Oshoniyi said Wednesday. "There was a lot of uncertainty as far as who the coach would be, but the boys have embraced my ideas and philosophies in training this spring. It's a fun group and I think the culture is pretty good right now."
Oshoniyi came to ETSU after spending the last three seasons as an assistant at Penn State. He previously worked at Wake Forest and South Florida.
He inherits an ETSU team that went 10-6-4 last season under former coach Scott Calabrese and played in the NCAA tournament for the second time in four years. Calabrese, who built the program from scratch, is now the head coach at Florida International. Oshoniyi isn't sure how much different the game philosophies are between the two coaches.
"It's hard to tell right now," he said. "As far as everybody being accountable, I think we're very, very similar in our approach. The seniors here last year did a great job of setting the culture, but we graduated seven starters from that group. The biggest thing is that other guys are not used to having to step up yet."
Oshoniyi knows about stepping up. He became a two-time NCAA Division II All-America goalkeeper and won two national championships at Southern Connecticut, and went on to play 12 years in the MLS. He was part of a championship team with the Kansas City Wizards in 2000.
The new coach hasn't officially put together his staff at ETSU, but he expects to retain David Lilly as an assistant. The Scotsman was a star player at Milligan College, joined Calabrese's staff in 2010 and was one of four finalists for the head job when Oshoniyi was hired.
"I've already expressed to him and the administration that I want to keep him on as assistant coach," said Oshoniyi. "He's been tremendous in this transition, helping me learn the ins and outs, how things are done here.
"The boys had really taken to him during the transition phase when there wasn't a coach."
Perhaps the highest priority for Oshoniyi is getting his family settled in Johnson City. His wife Tippi and their three kids — sons Xander, 7, and Rennick, 1, and daughter Londyn, 4 — have been living in Pennsylvania since his hiring. They're in town right now for a short visit.
"They're just here for the next couple of days," said Oshoniyi, "and we're still looking for a place to live. My oldest son finishes school in the middle of June, and hopefully we can all move down here then."
ETSU has at least four track and field athletes who will compete in the NCAA regionals in Jacksonville, Fla., next weekend.
Brett Squibbs (pole vault), Tyler Stepp (long jump), Michael Williams (400 hurdles) and Dede Edgecomb (100 hurdles) have all qualified among the top 48 in their respective events.
Two on the bubble are Ashley Kessler (pole vault) and Lexie Burley (triple jump). Kessler is ranked 51st, while Burley, a senior from Johnson City, is No. 55.
"We won't officially know until tomorrow," coach George Watts said Wednesday. "If we have some people who scratch — maybe they decide to concentrate on one event instead of another – things can change."
There are two regionals, and the top 12 in each event advance to the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore. Stepp, a senior from Dandridge, made it last year.
Watts' teams wrapped up the regular season last weekend in Jacksonville at the conference championships. The men finished second and the women third.
"We competed really well," said Watts. "I think we maxed out both the men's and women's teams. There were some nice surprises."
That came in the wake of news that the men's indoor team won't be eligible to compete in the Southern Conference championships next winter for falling short on NCAA Academic Progress Rate numbers.
Thirty-six teams across the country failed to meet the minimum standard of 930 points. The ETSU men's indoor track team scored 924; the outdoor team was right on the 930 mark.
"It won't be any fun sitting out the indoor conference meet with the men's team," said Watts, who is in his second year at ETSU. "There was a combination of things that happened out of our control, things that happened before we got here. Part of it was kids who come for a year and leave, and you also have a handful who don't do well academically.
"Our men's team is consistently a 3.0 cumulative GPA from one year to the next; they're not doing that poorly. We just have to keep working to do better."
The academic news is certainly better elsewhere this spring.
Three ETSU teams produced the A-Sun scholar athletes of the year in their respective sports, while also winning conference championships. Jessica Brumit was the recipient in women's tennis, Ismael Merino in men's tennis and Gabriella Wahl in women's golf.
Brumit, a junior from Elizabethton, has a 3.98 GPA and also earned second-team all-conference honors on the court. Merino, a freshman from Peru, was at 3.92 and also was a second-teamer.
Meanwhile, Wahl, a junior from Germany who graduated early, sported a 3.65 GPA and was named to the first team. She is currently playing in the NCAA Championships in Tulsa, Okla., having qualified as an individual.
All three of those teams collectively maintain grade-point averages of 3.60 or higher. Men's tennis leads the way at 3.80.
Former ETSU pitcher Kerry Doane has made four minor-league appearances, all in relief with five days in between, for the Lake County Captains this spring. He has an 0-1 record, with an ERA of 6.75 in 9.1 innings.
The Captains of Eastlake, Ohio are the Cleveland Indians' affiliate in the Class A Midwest League.
Doane was a 24th-round pick last June after leading the Bucs to their first NCAA tournament appearance in 31 years. He went 13-2 and led the nation with 12 complete games.
The Pompano Beach, Fla., native began his pro career with Mahoning Valley in the New York Penn League last summer but was slowed by injury and pitched in just nine games.
The Game Time Tour of ETSU coaches and administrators will make its final stop tonight at Bristol Motor Speedway. It begins with a meet-and-greet at 6:30 and includes a light meal.
Tickets are $15 at the door.

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. --- The Georgia men's golf team slipped to fifth place after the second round of the Southeastern Conference Championship at Sea Island's Seaside Course.
On Saturday, the sixth-ranked Bulldogs fired a 4-over 284 -- as each counting score was a 1-over 71 -- and moved to 1-over 561 for the tournament. No. 1 Alabama shot a 14-under 266 and has a 17-shot lead over South Carolina and Auburn heading into the final round.
"It was a day of missed opportunities for us," Georgia coach Chris Haack said. "We didn't putt very well. We missed a lot of putts on a day when we had to make a few to keep pace with what Alabama was doing. We've still got (Sunday) and we're going to go out there in a positive frame of mind and try to get hot with the putter and make a lot of birdies."
Seniors Michael Cromie and Joey Garber, sophomore Lee McCoy and freshman Greyson Sigg all signed for 1-over 71s on Saturday. Senior Keith Mitchell had the Bulldogs' non-counting score of 5-over 75.
Cromie is eighth individually at 1-under 139. Alabama's Bobby Wyatt, on the strength of an SEC-record 9-under 61 on Saturday, leads by eight shots at 14-under 126. Garber and Sigg are 15th at even-par 140, while McCoy moved to 2-over 142 and Mitchell went to 6-over 146.
The SEC Championship will conclude on Sunday as the Bulldogs tee off at 8:20 a.m. Three-hole scoring can be found at Golfstat.com.

An entomologist studies insects.
Zoe Adams.
In truth I became an entomologist by accident. We had a very good lecturer at university who was particularly keen on human parasites and I became interested in this area.
After I graduated, a job came up at the Museum looking at insect vectors of human and animal parasites. I applied for the job and have been here ever since.
It's always nice to have a good background general knowledge of the organisms you are interested in.
Biology and physics.
The job never seems to stay the same so you are always learning new things and trying out different techniques.
It can be quite hard to get funding for new projects sometimes. Insects are not the most high profile of organisms.
Checking the boss for human botfly larvae after a field trip to Bolivia. He's had two in his forearm and one in the thigh!
Definitely Gyrostigma rhinocerontis. The rhinoceros stomach botfly has such a cool lifecycle. Rhinos are creatures of habit and have definite 'toilets' throughout their range where they always deposit their dung. When the larvae of the botfly, which live in the rhino's stomach, are ready to pupate they allow themselves to be passed out with the dung and pupate inside the dung heap at the toilet.
The adult flies that emerge never need to leave the dung heap. Why would they? Sooner or later a suitable mate will emerge from the dung and there is a constant stream of rhinos visiting to use the toilet that can be infested with the next generation of flies - brilliant!
The section from a giant Sequoia tree trunk. I've visited a grove of giant Sequoia in California and they really are the most majestic things.
The Invertebrate Conservation Trust has a nice website particularly good for finding out what you can do to help conserve insects. For kids try the Amateur Entomologists' Society bug club site with lots of info on identifying insects, keeping pet insects and fun activities throughout the UK.
Blowflies (Diptera, Calliphoridae ) of Fennoscandia and Denmark by Knut Rognes. I'm not suggesting anyone go out and read this book, it's definitely a specialist text for people like me, but Dr Rognes has done such a good job, his text is a pleasure to use and I have become something of a fan.
People could join the Amateur Entomologists' Society. They run the bug club for kids with plenty of useful info and activities and are famous for their annual exhibition held on the first Saturday of each October.
For years I've been taking evening classes in pottery so I like to think I could become a potter, but most likely I'd miss science so maybe I'd become a botanist working at Kew Gardens.

Larvae – is the plural of Larva.
Many insects go through different stages as they grow and change shape in each stage. The larva is the second stage that they change to.
For example a maggot is the larva form of an adult fly.
Dung – the poo of animals.
Pupate – to become a Pupa. Pupa is the third stage in the life of an insect.

An encapsulated integrated circuit package uses a heat dissipating dam which is secured about the die to the die support. A dam constrains the outward movement of liquid glob top material during the manufacturing process. In addition, the dam provides heat dissipating properties for the integrated circuit package and may improve the structural integrity of the package as well. The dam may be efficiently applied to the die support using automated techniques, such as adhesive tape bonding.
1. A method of forming an encapsulated packaging comprising the steps of:
securing a die to a die mounting;
wire bonding said die;
coating a metal on one side of a film;
applying adhesive to the other side;
forming a central aperture in said film to form a dam;
securing the metallic dam around said die; and
encapsulating said die with an encapsulant.
2. The method of claim 1 including applying an adhesive to said dam and adhesively securing said dam to said mounting around said die.
3. The method of claim 2 including the step of applying adhesive tape to said dam to adhesively secure said dam to said mounting.
4. The method of claim 3 including the step of dissipating heat through said metallic dam.
5. The method of claim 4 including the step of constraining said encapsulant using said dam.
6. The method of claim 1 including the steps of forming a roll of metal coated film, unwinding said roll, and severing dams from said roll.
7. A method of forming dams for encapsulated integrated circuit packages comprising the steps of:
coating a film on one said with a layer of heat dissipating material;
coating the other side of said film with adhesive;
forming a roll of said film; and
severing sections of said film to form dams for controlling the spreading of an encapsulant.
8. The method of claim 7 including coating the film with a metallic layer.
This invention relates generally to encapsulated integrating circuit packaging and particularly to techniques for forming "glob top" packages.
Glob top packages use an encapsulating, electrically insulating member which is applied in liquid form and cured in place. It encapsulates the die and forms an insulating, protective layer over the top of the die. The glob top can in turn be covered by an optional lid. Conventionally, the liquid used to form the glob top is an epoxy encapsulant. Since it is applied in a liquid form, the encapsulant tends to spread outwardly before its cured. Therefore, dams may be utilized in connection with the glob top application to prevent overspreading of the material. Conventionally, glob top packages use polymer material as the dam.
While conventional packaging techniques are advantageous, there is a continuing need for more efficient, economical and effective packages for integrated circuit devices and particularly to such packages which improve the thermal characteristics and the structural rigidity of such packages. Because many modern integrated circuits develop considerable heat, it is important that this heat be dissipated or damage to the integrated circuit may occur. Heat can cause not only physical damage but can also affect the electrical performance of the die. In addition, especially with economical package configurations, the structural rigidity of the resulting package may be less than optimal. It would be desirable to provide economical packages with improved structural rigidity.
Embodiments of the present invention involve the use of a heat dissipating dam to form encapsulated packages. These packages may exhibit one or more of the following advantages: enhanced heat dissipation, improved structural rigidity, improved manufacturability.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, an integrated circuit package includes a die and a support structure. A die is secured to the support structure. A metallic member is secured to the structure, the member having a central opening. The die is situated within the central opening. An insulating material covers the die and fills the central opening.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, an integrated circuit package includes a die and a die mounting that supports the die. A heat dissipator is secured to the mounting around the die but spaced from the die. An encapsulant is configured over the die.
In accordance with still another aspect of the present invention, a method for forming an encapsulated integrated circuit package includes the step of securing a die to a die mounting. The die is wire bonded. A metal dam is secured around the die and the die is encapsulated with an encapsulant.
In accordance with yet another aspect of the present invention, a method of forming an encapsulated integrated circuit package includes the step of securing a die to a die mounting. A heat dissipating layer is secured to the mounting encircling the die. The heat dissipating layer is utilized as a dam to control the spread of an encapsulant applied over the die.
In accordance with but another aspect of the present invention, a method of forming dams for encapsulated integrated circuit packages includes the step of coating a film on one side with a layer of heat dissipating material. The film is coated on the other side with adhesive. A roll of the film is formed. The film is severed to form a dam for controlling the spreading of an encapsulant.
FIG. 1 is an enlarged cross-sectional view through one embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the embodiment of FIG. 1 in the course of manufacture;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a subsequent step in the course of manufacturing the package shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the heat dissipating dam shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view showing a technique for forming the dams; and
FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view through another embodiment.
Referring to the drawing wherein like reference characters are used for like parts throughout the several views, an integrated circuit package 10 is shown in FIG. 1. While the present invention is described in connection with the illustrated package, which could be a plastic pin grid array package, a variety of other well known packages may be utilized in connection with the present invention. Thus, it should be understood that the illustrated package is only one example of the potential applications of the present invention which is not tied to any particular package style. Other package styles, such as ball grid arrays and chip on board packages, for example, may use the present invention.
The package 10 includes a substrate or supporting structure 12, a plurality of contacts or pins 14 extending from the substrate 12 and a glob top 16. A glob top heat dissipating dam 18 defines the shape of the glob top 16 and may be adhesively secured to the top of the substrate 12 by an adhesive layer 20. A die 22 is also secured to the substrate 12 using conventional techniques. A metallized circuit pattern 24, such as a lead frame, is secured to the substrate 12 and is electrically connected to the die 22 by way of wires 26 using conventional wire bonding technology, for example.
The formation of the package shown in FIG. 1 is illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3. Initially, the die 22 is secured to the substrate 12. A metallized circuit pattern 24 is also secured to the substrate 12 and wire bonding is utilized to connect the pattern 24 to the die 22 in a conventional fashion.
Thereafter, a metallic dam 18 is secured with its central opening 28 encircling but spaced from the die 12 and the pattern 24. As shown in FIG. 4, the heat dissipating dam 18 may formed of a metal plate with the central opening 28 formed therein and an adhesive layer secured to one face thereof. Alternatively, the dam 18 may be formed of four abutting metallic strips (not shown) forming a rectangular shape.
Conveniently, the adhesive may be adhesive tape such as double sided lead on chip tape which may be applied using automated techniques. In this way, the adhesive tape can be quickly and easily applied to the dam 18 and the dam 18 may be readily secured to the substrate or other package supporting structure 12.
As shown in FIG. 5, in one embodiment, a heat conductive layer 30 may be coated using an applicator 31 on polymeric film 32. The uncovered film side may then be coated using an applicator 33 with adhesive 34. The dams 18 may be severed from a roll 40 of material in a continuous fashion and applied to a die. The coating may be metallic or non-metallic heat dissipating material.
With the package in the condition shown in FIG. 3, the glob top may be applied using liquid epoxy or other conventional materials. These materials are applied into the central opening of the dam 28. The dam constrains the outward movement of the encapsulant, resulting in the formation of the glob top 16.
By making the dam 18 of a metallic material such as copper, it can also provide important heat dissipation properties. The rigidity of the metallic dam 18 also helps to prevent package warpage. Thus, it will be appreciated that important advantages, including heat dissipation and improved structural rigidity, may be achieved with an element which also helps to form the glob top 16. Therefore, it is believed that the structure provides an advantageous arrangement which facilitates and improves integrated circuit packaging technology.
Alternatively, a heat conductive dam 18a may be formed using a robot controlled syringe, as shown in FIG. 6, to apply a bead of heat conductive material, such as a silver paste or silver filled epoxy material. Also, thermally conductive, electrically insulating materials may be applied to form a dam 18 using a syringe technique, for example. The insulating nature of such materials avoids possible shorting. Useful insulators include aluminum oxide or boron nitride.
While the present invention has been described with respect to a limited number of preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate numerous modifications and variations therefrom. It is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications and variations as fall within the true and spirit and scope of the present invention.

Midland headed to state tourney
HUNTINGTON -- On Saturday, nearly all of Cabell Midland's senior class walked away with their high school journey completed following commencement ceremonies at Big Sandy SuperStore Arena.
Nearly all of the graduates were speaking of life after high school and senior trips -- not still being associated with high school.
Such was not the case for the baseball team's three seniors who heard their name called as part of the Class of 2013.
Their business with Cabell Midland has not ended and their senior trips will have a local start to them.
The Knights' baseball team will take a trip to Charleston's Appalachian Power Park to compete in the Class AAA state baseball tournament as the Region IV champions this weekend.
And they couldn't be more excited.
"Honestly, I'm leaving right after the state tournament for senior trip, so it would be a great sendoff to win a state championship and meet up with my friends," Cabell Midland senior Jacob Beahrs said. "Right now, I'm just concentrating on baseball. After that comes the extra-curricular."
Last week, it was Beahrs who came up with the biggest hit in the Knights' season -- a bloop single to right field to score freshman Cole Tilley with the game's only run in the 1-0 win over Hurricane in the Region IV semifinal, which preceded a win over Winfield in the Region IV championship.
Three days after the region title, Beahrs was walking across the stage celebrating the milestone of graduation along with the rest of the Class of 2013.
While there were celebrations and cookouts following the graduation ceremony, the day of celebration gave way to refocusing for the 2013 Class AAA State Baseball Tournament on Monday.
That's because at approximately 7:30 p.m. Friday, the Knights will meet fellow Mountain State Athletic Conference member Woodrow Wilson with a state championship berth on the line.
"It used to be that graduation was the same day, but we have a week to get (graduation distractions) out of our system," Beahrs said. "We have a day off (Sunday) and then we are back at it collecting our thoughts and focusing on Power Park and Woodrow Wilson."
Beahrs, the team's center fielder, is joined by three other seniors - Kalib Arrowood, Luke Yingling and Matt Regan.
Each took the leadership role early to show the younger players what needed to be done, but the seniors also credited the younger players for fueling the team as well.
"A lot of guys have really stepped up for us," Arrowood said. "It's been impressive."
Beahrs agreed.
"Everyone knows their job and knows what needs to happen now," Beahrs said. "We've figured out what we have to do to win and we've gotten it done."
It was just one month ago that the Knights were sitting at 12-10 after a three-game skid in which they committed a ton of mental miscues and errors in losses to Boyd County (Ky.), Spring Valley and Nitro.
Since then, they have won 10 straight and allowed more than three runs in just three games. They have also learned how to win the close game with five of the contests being one-run decisions.
Arrowood admitted that graduation was an exciting time and a long-lasting memory, but it could easily be trumped this week if the Knights win two more games and earn the Class AAA state title.
"It would be fireworks and everything," Arrowood said. "Everyone would explode and it would be awesome."
Beahrs knows to earn that right, the Knights' seniors need to take the last two games of their careers like they've taken the previous 120 - one game at a time.
"We need to focus on Friday night and taking care of business in the first game," Beahrs said. "If we do that, things will take care of themselves.
"Like I said, though, it would be a nice send-off for my senior trip."

At the end of September, I went to BlogHer Food 09. An entire day-long conference at the St. Regis in San Francisco just for food bloggers. I didn't encounter a bad attitude all day. How many conferences have you attended where you could say the same thing? It was incredible: smiles, hugs, laughter all around. Maybe it was the fact that it was a warm sunny day in the city. Or maybe it's that all these people really love what they do. Either way, I was somewhat stunned by all that niceness in one place. Let there be no doubt: the food blogging community is one seriously generous group of people!
I decided to sleep in (it was a Saturday!) and skip both breakfast and a welcome meeting. I hopped on BART at a reasonable hour and then walked three blocks to the hotel. I noticed a huddle of policemen standing right outside the St. Regis. Oh great, I thought. Food bloggers must really be rowdy; am I going to like this at all? Not even 9am, and the police have already been called!
Heading into the hotel and walking quickly toward the elevators, I was told to STOP PLEASE by a firm hotel employee. Startled, I looked up to see a small crowd moving through. Speaking a foreign language and dressed in suits to-die-for, it was clear these were high-level dignitaries, bodyguards, and various attendants. It happened so fast. They moved into waiting limos, the police dispersed, and elevator doors re-opened. The employee apologized to me for the inconvenience. Whew. Food bloggers weren't causing the ruckus!
Stepping out of the elevator onto the second floor, I walked right into the only person I knew at the entire conference, the amazing Cheryl Sternman Rule, who just might be the funniest writer I know. She introduced me to several smiling food bloggers and the day spun out of control. We cornered David Lebovitz for a moment. I sat next to Zoe Francois of Zoe Bakes. I laughed with Todd and Diane of White on Rice about fighting urban critters for cherished homegrown backyard fruit. The Gluten-Free Girl's baby gave me the biggest smile. Did I mention that everyone was so nice?
I attended morning sessions with White on Rice, and with Heidi Swanson and Matt Armendariz on photography. I've learned so much about my little embarrassing camera and how to use it since I listened to their advice and read my camera manual. Just a little detail I had previously overlooked. I will say that I pulled out my (Kodak!) camera once, and the blogger I showed it to was so mortified to be standing near me (with the Kodak in my hand) that I stuck my camera back in my bag for the rest of the day. (Therefore, no pictures for you!) Apparently it is cool to use expensive cameras, very expensive cameras, or a Polaroid or iPhone, but not a Kodak Easy Share. Who knew? That's my camera and I'm sticking to it, however uncool it may be, until I can stop dropping cameras in wet bread dough. Because at that point I really do stick to it.
Then came lunch. You can read about our Bertolli lunch, the big stir, and the commentary during it – oh my, not what you would think – here and here. I met so many wonderful writers and bloggers and photographers – famous ones, great ones, and brand new ones – at that lunch and during the breaks. I watched Elizabeth Falkner convince otherwise socially acceptable people to put latex gloves on their hands and dig in chocolate boxes for corn nuts, cake, and pretzels covered in marshmallow and dark chocolate ganache. You read that correctly: latex gloves, digging in chocolate, corn nuts. I think you had to be there. (But if you weren't, check out this post.)
There was also a surreal cocktail party on the glam roof terrace (warm evening in SF!), with sumptuous cocktails, and with appetizers using Campbell's Soup. You cannot make this stuff up – all conferences need sponsors, okay? Which is about when I gave out. I hugged a few people, grabbed my swag bag full of Scharffen Berger Chocolate and other assorted goodies, tucked the business cards of my new blogging buddies in my pocket, and headed back to BART. Yes, this is what I call work these days. Read it and weep.

The purpose of the SNAPPS project is to help families in the Norristown area get their children into quality preschool and pediatric services. For many parents, getting health and educational programs for their children, and even themselves, can be a challenge. The information needed to find the programs or health care sites they prefer isn't always easily available. For this reason, the School of Medicine (SOM) and the Graduate School of Education (GSE) of the University of Pennsylvania formed a collaboration to explore the barriers that families face to etting education and health services and to work on reducing those barriers. With the help of our community partners and other related agencies we have started to work on this important problem.
The SNAPPS guide is a broad listing of Norristown area preschool and pediatric facilities. The guide includes information that families told us they needed to make decisions about where to take their kids. We hope this guide will help parents find preschool and pedicartic services that meet their needs. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve this guide please contact us at email@example.com.
PREPPED Kids (Preschool and Pediatric) is an interactive web site which includes all of the information in the SNAPPS guide in a form which may be more user friendly. This web site is also updated to include the most recent information possible. We have also added a text messaging system to the web site which notifies families about events that are important for infants and preschool aged children. Check it out and as always let us know what you think by contacting Alahyo Young by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This project was supported by a pilot grant from the Center for Public Health Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania.

"What they're not looking at is ultimately the extraordinary cost--both the human cost and the actual cost.." says Jeff Biggers, author of Reckoning at Eagle Creek: The Secret Legacy of Coal in the Heartland. After the Massey mine explosion and BP oil spill last year, we now face a nuclear disaster in Japan. The question, then, is whether we take the opportunity to push for truly clean energy or hunker down and retreat to the old faithful sources that are slowly killing us. Jeff joins us via Skype to discuss the possibility for better energy policy post-Japan, the new coal mines opening up in Wyoming, and much more.

24 Hour Party, People!
Encarnación: Carnival Capital of Paraguay
The Mayan calendar might be over, but the Latin American parties are just beginning with Carnival season in full swing. Most people know Brazil is the party's international hotspot, but the Paraguayan city of Encarnación is the fast-rising new star.
Located in the southeast corner of the country, Encarnación is the Carnival Capital of Paraguay with lively parades, vibrant colors and juvenile playfulness. The party is smaller and less pricey, but it is no less excessive. For the festival, Avenida Francia becomes a Sambódromo-style procession with elaborate floats, cerveza-sponsored dancers and half-naked garotas (parade girls) in ornate outfits.
Hard-partying crowds watch from the bleachers and luxury boxes as snow rains down like a blizzard. Snow? No, it doesn't really snow in Paraguay, but it is a local Carnival tradition to blast everyone with lanzanieves "snow spray" that comes in an aerosol can. After the parade, people pile into the nearby clubs with many patrons still covered in fake snow.
Visitors usually come prepared for the snow fights, but they better not forget about the Saturday afternoon Water Wars. For several hours, the city engages in a giant water fight, and the local kids gear up like it was a Call of Duty: Black Ops convention. Many fill up water buckets and douse unsuspecting people from rooftops, while water balloons come from any direction, including from passing cars. Adults are even known to wield a mean garden hose or water cannon. Sure, the whole party reeks of frat-house immaturity, but don't most Carnival celebrations?
Encarnación, "The Pearl of the South," sits on the Paraná River just across the water from Argentina. The city features a modern hilltop neighborhood called Zona Alta where travelers should stay, while the crumbling Zona Baja is the spot for serious bargain shopping. Encarnación even has a sandy, two-mile river beach with volleyball courts, water sports and swimming areas. A short distance outside of town, the UNESCO-honored Jesuit Ruins are considered the most impressive mission remnants in South America. Even if nursing a hangover, travelers should not miss the ruins.
The Lonely Planet guide says the Encarnación Carnival is "much more fun" than Rio, which is quite an overstatement, but it is not an either-or proposition. The three Brazilian hotspots—Rio, Salvador and Olinda—start Carnival on Feb. 8 this year. In Encarnación, however, the party starts Jan. 18 and continues every weekend through the traditional Carnival dates. This means a traveler can start the party in Encarnación, head to Rio for the main event and then keep the liver abuse rolling with the "Ressaca" after-party on Tinharé Island. That tallies up to almost two straight weeks of partying.
Paraguay might get its Carnival influence from Brazil, but guess where Brazil gets its smoke? Supplying most of eastern South America, Paraguay is second only to Mexico as the world's largest cannabis producer. The government has traditionally had a relaxed attitude about enforcement, but the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime (read: U.S.A.) is now putting pressure on the Paraguayan government. In other words, traveling patients should be low-key about use and avoid crossing borders with medicine, though finding smoke in Encarnación should not be a problem.
Every party-friendly individual should experience at least one Carnival party, but remember that U.S. citizens need a tourist visa to visit Paraguay or Brazil.

TUNKHANNOCK – As the jackpot continues to rise, So do Powerball ticket sales across the nation. Here at Thomas' Market in Tunkhannock even the employees are joining the Powerball rush.
Diane Walling is the store's scan coordinator and says if she hits it big, she's not planning to help just herself.
"Well, pay off all my bills, be debt free, and try to help out a lot of people who are in need, especially the Sandy victims down in New Jersey and New York so whatever I can do to help out there," said Walling.
Walling isn't alone. Connie Babcock of Laceyville divvied up her imaginary millions over a slice of pizza with friends. She says what's left over would go to help those in need.
Many Powerball hopefuls say this jackpot is what enticed them to buy a ticket this time around, but for employees at Gay's True Value Hardware in Tunkhannock, they`ve been playing for more than 25 years.
"Every year we're always into it, twice a week we're into it," said Mary Ann Morgan of Gay's True Value Hardware.
They have plenty of the losing lottery tickets on hand that 18 different employees pitched in to purchase over the years. Morgan says they've had one winning ticket, but nowhere near the current jackpot.
"Ten dollars, that's about it. That`s our biggest win, we were happy," said Morgan. But cashier Glenda Chapin and her co-workers say if they finally hit the big jackpot, they won't give up their day jobs.
"Oh probably, we'll all probably be here. We`re diehards," said Chapin.
But they'll have to beat the odds first.

I've just arrived home after making a special trip here on a cold Xmas eve because I had hoped that the reviews read would be accurate and nope, they weren't. Food was mediocre at best and expensive. I paid $2. for a tea bag, where most Chinese places would offer this on the house. Beef and Peapod seemed cold, brown sauce was clumpy and flavorless. Veggie fried rice and egg rolls were predictable. My fortune cookie "fortune" read that I should try "new things". Oh, the irony. First and last time, I'll be here.

I went there while searching for bubble tea and ended up ordering food too! First, the service was great, the food was served quick and the quality excellent, last our bubble teas were made with real natural fresh fruits no syrup or powders like others. I do recomend this place ! +A
Posted by Erin on 01/26/2011
Best Chinese ever. I'm a vegetarian and I finally have options other than mixed vegetables. I can get sesame chicken without the chicken! Their vegetarian choices are so amazing I am just angry i have only now discovered Yummy Yummy. However, i did not give them a 5 for food quality because on Sundays the food quality goes way down. Not sure if they have a different cook on Sundays or what, but it is noticeably less good. With is too bad because Sunday is a big Chinese Food craving day. Other than that, Best Chinese Ever.

I second all the accolades for this restaurant. Consistently high quality, attention to detail, and generous portions. Atomosphere is nice but basic --- but I'd happily trade the most elegant decor for the best food. As someone who swings between vegan and vegetarian, Yummy Yummy is one of the best options in the city. Most Asian restaurants only have tofu as a meat substitute (been there; done that). Yummy Yummy offers three meat substitutes: tofu, seitan (outstanding!), and soy gluten. I love this place!
Posted by Jeff on 03/11/2010
This is the best Chinese food in town! And they serve healthy food with several vegan alternatives. The service is great and it is a small intimate place where the owners really make you feel welcome! The mushroom egg foo yung, and the spicy basil chicken noodle is awesome! In fact, everything on the menu is excellent!
Posted by Maija on 02/26/2010
I thought the last good Chinese chef in Chicago had turned out the lights! But not so. Yummy Yummy which I will refer to as YY is so good! The Moos Shoo is wonderful, just julienned correctly with the right mushrooms and cabbage. So good and the little chinese pancakes they use are real ones, not tortillas like so many others use! Their Chow Mein is wonderful and light with all white meat chicken. I think their potstickes are light and VERY tasty. Every dish we have ordered here was top notch. NOT a Complaint and they are so sweet. Once one of the owners offered to run it out to my car while I waited! The inside is very small, but the food is so WORTH IT!

love their lemon chicken! delivery service is fast, and the food is always great!!! the best place for chinese food in lakeview!
