LePage Wants Leftover Money to Go to Rainy Day Fund
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) – Maine Gov. Paul LePage wants to use leftover money for Maine schools and savings in the retiree health insurance program to put $21 million back into the state's rainy day fund, which is being used to fund revenue sharing.
The proposal LePage officials laid out on Friday would take $11.4 million in savings from reduced rates for retiree health insurance. They say retiree benefits won't be impacted.
The measure would also take about $10 million that wasn't spent in the Department of Education budget during fiscal year 2012-2013.
LePage has said he won't sell bonds until there's at least $60 million in the rainy day fund.
Democrats continue to attack LePage for not releasing the bonds, saying he's delaying critical investments for the state.

The company promises in a tweet on that the new Angry Birds will be "Bigger. Badder. Birdier."
The game provides the same propulsion that gamers have come to expect from the franchise, but this time around, female protagonists star.
The company announces staff cuts and the closure of its game studio in Tampere, Finland.
Mikael Hed will step down as chief executive at the end of the year, turning the reins over to Pekka Rantala.
Hands-on with the Angry Birds developers' own addictive spin on a match-three game.
The company says its financials were down in 2013 because it was building a "foundation" for future growth.
The basic gameplay is the same as in the original but the sequel includes spells, blizzards, magic ducks and hot chili peppers to hurl against your piggly enemies.
More than 37 million users of the dating site are at risk of having personal details made public. Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert is a video game -- and so can you! -- with a program called Twine.
"Construction toys" based on Angry Birds will be available in the spring of 2016 to coincide with the release of the game franchise's full-length feature film.
Super Mario Bros., Tetris and Pac-Man are joined by a few surprising picks for the first class of the Strong Museum's new commemorative initiative.

Early voting for the April 23 municipal election begins today. City residents have until April 18 to mark an early ballot, and recent elections indicate that a majority of the votes for Board of Education and City Commission will come during the early voting period.
Recent elections in Johnson City also suggest there will be a low turnout this spring. The city election in 2011 saw less than 12.5 percent of Johnson City's 36,644 eligible voters go to the polls.
Maybe it's the timing of the spring elections that catches some city voters off guard.
Most Americans only cast votes in fall contests for president, state General Assembly or for governor, which is a good argument for putting municipal elections on the same November ballot as state and federal races.
Doing so would save the city precious tax dollars to hold an election. As things stand now, Johnson City could spend as much as $75,000 on an election that might see no more than 10 percent of the city's registered voters going to the polls.
A few years ago, officials in Jonesborough decided to move town elections to the November ballot. Officials say the move has allowed the town to save as much as $20,000 on the cost to hold its municipal elections.
Moving Johnson City's municipal elections would also give new city commissioners more time to get acclimated before settling down to work on a new budget. Newcomers are now thrust into the fiscal fray with barely any time to familiarize themselves with the budget process.
Critics of moving the city election to November say the current date allows voters to concentrate solely on local issues, and not be distracted by issues dominating state and federal races. We don't buy that argument, and we know many voters in Johnson City don't either.
The question for candidates seeking one of two seats on the City Commission is: Do you support moving the city election to November?
Please join us at 5 p.m. today for our Community Editorial Board meeting in the Carl A. and Kathryn P. Jones Room of the Johnson City Public Library where we will put this and other important questions to candidates for the City Commission and School Board.

on the market. OLED displays can have contrast ratios of 1,000,000:1, but LED technology has not been standing still, and experts continue to argue about which technology produces better displays.
One application of OLED with great potential in the market is the use of white OLED (WOLED) in lighting panels. Potentially, these devices can be more efficient than fluorescent lights and produce more accurate color rendering. In addition, WOLED devices can be flexible and can even become mirrors when turned off. Today's state-of-the-art devices produce 87 lumens/watt (lumens/W) at 1,000 candelas/m2. The goal is to produce devices that generate 300 lumens/W.
ITO is essential to all of this work because it is the preferred transparent conducting electrode in thin-film photovoltaics, and it is the only transparent conducting electrode in all LCDs and OLEDs. Researchers are making advances in developing transparent zinc oxide and aluminum oxide electrodes, but those efforts are not yet close to producing a commercially viable product.
One of the most promising alternatives is poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfanate) (PEDOT:PSS). Though this material has been studied for over 10 years, the recent development of a fabrication process that creates multilayered PEDOT:PSS devices has produced a breakthrough in organic photovoltaic and OLED performance (Kim et al., 2011). The new process involves blending these polymers with polyethylene glycol (PEG), immersing the blend in PEG, and then annealing. Even though transmission goes down with each additional layer, sheet resistance also goes down, and that, said Shinar, is important. These PEDOT:PSS sheets are smoother than ITO, which is good for OLEDs, and their refractive index is lower, which reduces internal reflection and increases light output.
In fact, said Shinar, multilayer PEDOT:PSS OLEDs are up to twice as efficient as a standard ITO OLED. And in more recent work, which his group has not yet published, a two-layer PEDOT:PSS OLED produced a maximal luminous power efficiency of 100 lumens/W without coupling enhancement tricks. "With microlens arrays, which typically can double the out-coupling enhancement, these devices would be beyond 200 lumens/W," said Shinar.
It is important to remember, though, that ITO devices are a moving target with continually improving performance. Recently, for example, chlorinated ITO-based OLEDs showed impressive efficiencies (Helander et al., 2011). The power efficiency reported for these devices exceeded 200 lumens/W, which is approaching the Department of Energy's goal of 300 lumens/W. Not too long ago, this was considered a pipe dream, said Shinar. The external quantum efficiency for chlorinated ITO is "an amazing 53 percent," he added. "For every two electrons you inject into the OLED you get one photon out, and not just out, but in the direction you want."
Heavy Metals
Shinar noted that heavy and rare earth metal atom chelates, using palladium, platinum, iridium, and europium, are going to continue to be important in the display and SSL industries because they produce the best phosphorescent emitters. As he explained, "In all OLEDs, injection into the emitting layer results in 25 percent singlet excitons and 75 percent triplet excitons, and in fluorescence only the singlet excitons are radiative." As a result, the maximum internal quantum efficiency is only 25 percent. Heavy metal chelate-based phosphors, however, are radiative with triplet excitons, so their use is critical to achieve high internal quantum efficiency for any OLED device.
In fact, when researchers from the Universal Display Corporation successfully fabricated phosphorescent OLEDs using heavy metal chelates, they boosted internal quantum efficiencies into the 90 to 100 percent range. This success, said Shinar, explains why this company is now worth between $500 million and $1 billion.
Shinar noted that iridium, because of its use in these phosphors, should be considered a critical metal. It is the least abundant of the platinum-group elements, yet today it is priced lower than gold. Major commercial sources of iridium are found in South Africa, Russia, and Canada. Iridium is difficult to refine and is produced in small quantities, but supplies have increased in response to a four-fold increase in demand to 334,000 ounces in 2010, largely a result of the inclusion of iridium crucibles in backlit LED televisions and the increased demand for iridium-tipped automobile sparkplugs. "The sharp increase in demand and the small, relatively illiquid market for iridium had a significant impact on price," said Shinar. In August 2011, iridium was priced at $1,050 per ounce (eBullionGuide.com, 2011).
Efforts to develop room-temperature phosphors free of heavy metals have begun, but the best results so far still fall short of the mark. Shinar wondered if more research in this direction should be initiated. One possibility would be to exploit triplet-triplet annihilation to produce singlet excitons that could increase the internal quantum efficiency well beyond 25 percent.
In closing, Shinar noted that "for optoelectronics, the critical in critical resources is questionable. There is no single silver bullet because the situation has improved, and instead there are many potential silver bullets for different problems."
One reason that PV technology is such an exciting area today, said Ken Zweibel, is that solar energy is such an abundant resource (Figure 5-1). The sheer size of the solar energy "reserve" dwarfs all other potential sources of renewable energy and is more than an order of magnitude larger than all coal, uranium, petroleum, and natural gas reserves combined.

The sequential course requirements provide an interdisciplinary series of connected learning experiences for all Millikin students. Sequential course requirements include IN140, IN150, IN151, IN250, IN251, and IN350. The sequential courses share and build across the curriculum the following learning threads for ongoing student engagement and learning: (1) Reflection—all sequential elements engage our students in reflection. (2) Ethical Reasoning—all sequential elements except IN150/151 engage our students in ethical reasoning. (3) Writing Intensive—all sequential elements in the University Studies program except IN140 are writing intensive.
Reflection: At Millikin, student reflection is one of the distinguishing features of our teaching mission; evidence of effective use of student reflection in teaching is recognized by the conferral of the Teaching Excellence award on faculty at the annual Honors Convocation. Because student reflection is a Millikin teaching and learning distinctive, it should be one of the main goals that runs vertically through the University Studies program. Reflection is integrated into IN140 through a service learning project. Reflection is one of the four learning goals being delivered and assessed in IN150/IN151. Reflection is one of the goals for IN250, IN251 and IN350.
Ethical Reasoning: All sequential elements except IN150/151 deliberately engage our students in ethical reasoning. Students will use ethical reasoning to analyze issues that impact their personal lives as well as their local, national, and global communities.
Writing Intensive: All sequential elements in the University Studies program except IN140 are writing intensive. Writing intensive courses include elements of instruction such as (1) Integrated writing and critical thinking activities to promote learning; (2) Instruction and coaching as students write; (3) Guided revision for at least one formal writing assignment;(4) Assessment of the quality of the writing by the characteristics of effective prose, including grammar, organization, and support; (5) Written work which represents a substantial portion of the grade; and(6) Referrals to the Writing Center and support for students needing help with grammar and other elements of composition.

- Classic Suburban Conference votes St. Thomas Academy out
It seems the Classic Suburban isn't the only conference that doesn't want St. Thomas Academy.
The Cadets' next-best options for conference membership, the South Suburban and Suburban East, aren't exactly rolling out the red carpet.
"We don't anticipate or look forward to the admission of a private school," George Vasiliou, executive secretary of the 10-school South Suburban Conference, said Wednesday, April 17. "We like the public-school look."
The Classic Suburban Conference voted Monday to boot St. Thomas Academy from its nine-team league. When activities directors quickly figured out they didn't have that authority, they agreed to change the conference bylaws so they can. That vote could come as early as Thursday.
So now the Cadets must shop for a new league, and finding a comfortable fit won't be easy.
John Bartz, executive secretary of the Suburban East Conference, can't envision St. Thomas Academy in his 10-team league, either.
"Not based on the parameters of the Minnesota State High School League," he said. "I don't think they fit geographically or enrollment-wise."
St. Thomas Academy, an all-male, 533-student Catholic military school in Mendota Heights has been a member of the Classic Suburban since 2000. Other Classic Suburban members are Henry Sibley, Hill-Murray, Mahtomedi, North St. Paul, Richfield (for one more year), Simley, South St. Paul and Tartan. All but Hill-Murray are public schools.
Among the reasons Classic Suburban schools want St.
Free- and reduced-lunch percentages are on the rise, a statistic school officials say correlates to lower participation rates in activities. In addition to not having free-and-reduced lunch issues, St. Thomas Academy is not bound geographically; it draws students from around the metro area.
The Cadets' high participation numbers allow the school to field multiple levels of teams in each sport, something the public schools can't match, ADs say.
The Cadets have won five small-school state hockey championships the past eight seasons, and their football teams have qualified for the state tournament eight times since 2000. STA also fields dominant teams in Alpine skiing (five state championships since 2001) and swimming and diving (11 crowns since 1999) and won a Class 3A basketball championship in 2007.
The Suburban East consists of Cretin-Derham Hall, East Ridge, Forest Lake, Hastings, Mounds View, Park, Roseville, Stillwater, White Bear Lake and Woodbury. Cretin-Derham Hall is the conference's only private school -- and its smallest with 1,328 students.
"Would they be a good fit? I don't know," Bartz said. "It's up to the 10 schools (in our conference) to decide that."
"I don't think any AD would be comfortable answering that question until (St. Thomas Academy) actually applies to the SEC," Park AD Phil Kuemmel said in a text message.
Bartz said he expects St. Thomas Academy to apply for membership into the SEC.
"The plus side is that they have multiple levels of sports," Bartz said of the Cadets. "The negative is that they don't have female sports. You can't blame them for that."
Vasiliou said the South Suburban has not received a formal application from St. Thomas Academy but has heard discussions from member schools about the possibility. Conference members -- all public schools -- are Apple Valley, Burnsville, Bloomington Jefferson, Bloomington Kennedy, Eagan, Eastview, Lakeville North, Lakeville South, Prior Lake and Rosemount.
Kennedy is the smallest, with 1,275 students. Jefferson and Kennedy will move to the new Metro West Conference in 2014-15, which would leave Apple Valley as the smallest school in the conference with an enrollment of 1,638.
Shakopee and Farmington are joining the South Suburban in the 2014-15 school year.
"We really like how our conference looks," Vasiliou said. "One of our goals in the South Suburban is to maintain stability."
If St. Thomas Academy is denied admittance to a conference, the MSHSL would place it where it where it fits best, perhaps even right back in the Classic Suburban.
MSHSL executive director Dave Stead said four criteria are used to place schools in conferences: enrollment, geography, comparable programs and facilities.
This isn't the first time a private school has departed a public-school conference. In 2004, Cretin-Derham Hall was placed in the Suburban East after a mutual parting of ways with the St. Paul City Conference.
"Over a long period of time, there was an inequity of scores and results of athletic events," Harding activities director Gerry Keenan said. "Both Cretin-Derham Hall and the rest of the conference realized it was time for a change.
"It was very much an amicable parting. There was never any hostility. They knew it was time; we knew it was time."

State fire marshal closes 147 acres at McClintic WMA in Mason County
POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. – Acting upon an ORDER OF CLOSURE issued by the West Virginia State Fire Marshal, the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR) has closed the property know as the "McClintic Wildlife Management Area – Active Storage Area South of Potter Creek Road," in Mason County, W.Va. The West Virginia State Fire Marshal has ordered this area closed to public access because it constitutes a danger to life or property from the hazards of fire or explosion. This Order shall remain in effect until further notice.
"Approximately 175 acres of the McClintic WMA will be affected by this closure," said Curtis Taylor, Chief of the DNR's Wildlife Resources Section. "The remainder of the 3,655-acre wildlife management area will continue to be open for public use."
The closed area includes that portion of McClintic WMA South of Potter Creek Road where the active storage bunkers are located. These bunkers were originally built by the U.S. Army to store munitions during World War II. In 1949, these lands were deeded to the State of West Virginia by the U.S. Army for the purpose of fish and wildlife conservation. The DNR now leases several of these bunkers for storage purposes to private individuals and companies.
One of these leased bunkers on McClintic WMA exploded early in the morning on May 17, 2010. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of this explosion. The incident is still under investigation by the West Virginia State Fire Marshal and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
According to the West Virginia State Fire Marshal, the ORDER OF CLOSURE will remain in effect until the Fire Marshal or other ourt or ruling body enters a future Order on this matter.

Gamers waiting for the successor to GameSpot's 2009 Game of the Year won't have to wait too long, particularly if they are living in Japan. Developer From Software said in the latest issue of Famitsu that the anticipated sequel to Demon's Souls will be out in Japan this September. The action role-playing game will retail for 7,800 yen ($96).
The European and US version of the game will be out in "early October," according to Namco Bandai. Dates for other territories have yet to be revealed.
The action RPG is set in a dark fantasy world with a huge focus on tension in dungeon exploration and punishing-but-fair difficulty. New features in Dark Souls include the ability to dual-wield weapons and summon non-player characters during battle, more variations and improvements in co-op mode, and new outdoor areas that are seamlessly connected to one another.

During cutting of nails, there are tissues underneath the toenails that may accidentally be included in the clipping, which will eventually, cause the bleeding. In most cases, the bleeding stops on its own. However, it can be stopped with some methods.
- There are also instances when the bleeding is caused by sharp objects like glasses that cut the dog's paws including toes or nails.
- In any bleeding incidences, first-aid is administered to prevent excessive blood loss. When left as it is, the bleeding can lead to shock, which is characterized by:
- Rapid heartbeat or rapid breathing
- Pale or white gums.
Stop Bleeding Dog Nail
First-aid can stop the bleeding dog nail. It can be performed by anybody who knows how. The following are the simple steps.
- Restrain the dog if any of its part is bleeding.
- Approach the dog in a reassuring approach and tone
- Examine the dog's wound for the presence of any foreign objects.
- Some wounds need stitches.
- Wash the wound with clean water. Do not apply for any antiseptics as they can be painful
- Cover the wounds with a clean cloth, sanitary napkin, or sterile dressing.
- To stop bleeding, put pressure on the wound. If it is already soaked on the blood in dressing, do not remove the dressing. Instead, apply more dressing onto the wound.
- If bleeding does not stop within the next 5 minutes, apply more dressing and pressure and transport the dog to the vet.
- Cover the dressing with any soft material or tape it to keep the bandage in its place.
Bleeding Dog Nail Remedy
Bleeding dog nail remedy can be natural or non-natural. Natural remedies are safer as they do not have any side-effects, like some of the non-traditional. Other first-aid home remedies include:
- Removal of excess blood from tip of the nails by applying clean and dry paper towel.
- Place the dog's paw or nail into a styptic powder to stop the bleeding. Or use a cotton swap to apply it onto the wound.
- Styptic pencils are also efficient and quick in stopping the dog's toenail bleeding.
- Apply ice to the area over a rag. You also have to ensure that the dog is comfortable as it can help in stopping the bleeding.
- Continue applying pressure, dry rag, and ice onto the wound if the bleeding does not stop.
- You can also make a paste out of water and flour. 1 teaspoon of flour can make enough paste.
- If flour is not available, cornstarch or baking soda will do. But it is applied directly onto the wound.
Grooming is essential for a healthy dog. Grooming can consist of washing the dog, brushing the dog's coat, trimming dog's hair, and cutting dog's nailsOther than this, dogs' nails need to be cut because long nails not only cause innocent injury to humans it can also be very inconvenient for dogs.
Cutting Dog Nails
- Owners shouldn't only know how to cut their dog's nails but also when to cut it.
- Dogs that constantly walk on hard surfaces may need little or no help with nail cutting.
- Dogs that walk on soft, grassy, or woodland areas will require regular nail cutting.
- Nail cutting is achieved using a nail clipper made especially for dogs.
How Short and Often to Cut Dog Nails
- Knowing how short to cut a dog's nails will depend on how well the owner knows the anatomy of a dog's nail.
- Cutting little pieces often will help accustom the dog to the activity and ensures the nail isn't cut too short.
- Accidents do happen no matter how experienced a cutter the owner is. When this happens, remain calm and reassure the dog. A fair amount of bleeding is expected but this can be treated quickly.
Best Way to Cut Dog Nails
- A good lesson from the vet is needed before attempting to cut dog nails.
- Reading the instructions on the nail clipper or trimmer is also important.
- The best policy to observe when cutting dog nails is cutting little often.
- Depending on the type of trimmer or cutter, it is important to hold the device in the right angle.
- Before attempting to trim nails, it is best to properly hold the dog in such a way that he does not wriggle and harm himself or the owner during clipping.
Cut the nail within approximately two millimeters from the quick (the part of the nail that contains blood vessels).

W.Va. senator sticks with gun buyer check proposal
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — He doesn't know when the next vote may come, but U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin isn't giving up on broader gun buyer background checks.
The West Virginia Democrat continues to seek needed supporters for his proposal to expand checks to commercial settings such as gun shows and online.
Manchin's resolve is reflected in a TV ad that answers one aired by the National Rifle Association. Each has appeared on West Virginia stations this month.
After repeatedly endorsing Manchin, the NRA has attacked him over his role in the Capitol Hill gun debate. Manchin's response ad does not target the group but rather its top leaders, while touting his gun owner credentials.
Manchin also questions why that leadership has gone after him and not the Republican co-sponsor of his background check proposal.

Interview: Tim McGraw to play Huntington Center on May 4Written by Alan Sculley | | email@example.com
Tim McGraw's recent No. 1 hit, "Felt Good On My Lips," was intended to be on the new studio CD, and instead was added to a new greatest hits collection.
"They [Curb] took it off of my new album that I turned in," McGraw said. "It [the new CD]is called 'Emotional Traffic.' So hopefully sometime this summer it will get out."
A big reason McGraw is eager to see "Emotional Traffic" hit the market is because he sees the CD as a pivotal project in his career.
"Every now and then as an artist, I think you need sort of a watershed project," he said. "I think this is one of those kinds of projects for us.
"It's the best album I've ever had, sonically, song-wise," said McGraw, who will play at the Huntington Center on May 4. "We're playing four new songs off of it on tour."
That's no small statement for an artist who has made million-selling albums a consistent habit over a two-decade career.
Rasied in the small town of Start, La., McGraw, who is married to fellow country star Faith Hill, broke through in a big way early in his career, with his second CD, "Not A Moment Too Soon." It gave him his first two hits, "Don't Take The Girl" and "Indian Outlaw," and McGraw been a top tier country star ever since.
Artistically, though, two previous CDs stand out to McGraw.
"For me, 'Everywhere' was one of those sort of albums," he said of his 1997 release. "It was the first album that I really put my name on as a producer. It was just one of those where everything just sort of made a big, massive step forward, from the sounds to tones to songs to my confidence, everything. Then another one of those moments, I think, was 'The Dancehall Doctors' album [2002], when I was searching for a new sound and trying to get away from hearing the same licks that you hear on everybody's records because the same players were playing on them.
"That's when I took my band in to the studio for the first time," he elaborated. "That was sort of a watershed album. It tossed everything up in the air and let it hit the ground in a different spot."
With "Emotional Traffic," McGraw once again looked to shake up his sound.
"I was searching for something different and some fresh-sounding songs and a different approach to songs," McGraw said. "I was still trying to find the best songs that I could find, but find stuff that sort of had a freshness to me. And then I went and found different musicians and put together a very eclectic band. A couple of the guys from Paul McCartney's band play on this album, the keyboard player from the Foo Fighters plays on this album. The guitar player from Alanis Morissette's band plays on this album. So I really put a cool, eclectic band together. I think it's just really got an edge to it in the tones and sounds that you haven't heard on my records."

The aim of the invention is to optimize the analysis of substances separated by gas chromatography with a gas chromatograph, comprising a separating device and a mass spectrometer situated down there from. To this end, a detector that detects the separated substances in a nondestructive manner is placed in-line between the output of the separating device and a controllable inlet valve of the mass spectrometer. An evaluating device situated down from the detector evaluates the detector signals and, based on the evaluation, controls the inlet valve for introducing predeterminable substances into the mass spectrometer.
1. A method for gas chromatographic analysis of a substance mixture, the method comprising:
directing the substance mixture for separation of the materials contained within it by means of a carrier gas through a separation device at the output of which the materials spatially separated in groups are introduced for quantitative determination via a controllable inlet valve into a mass spectrometer, there being an alternate outlet for release of the carrier gas; and
detecting the separated materials by a detector arranged in-line between the output of the separation device and the inlet valve and, as a function of the detection, the inlet valve being controlled for introduction of all detected materials into the mass spectrometer, the inlet valve and alternate outlet otherwise controlled to admit all carrier gas into the alternate outlet instead of the mass spectrometer.

This application is the US National Stage of International Application No. PCT/EP2004/004483, filed Apr. 28, 2004 and claims the benefit thereof. The International Application claims the benefits of German application No. 10319130.5, filed Apr. 28, 2003, both applications are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
The invention relates to a gas chromatograph with downstream mass spectrometer and a method for gas chromatographic mass spectrometric analysis of a substance mixture.
For gas chromatographic analysis of a substance mixture this mixture is directed together with a carrier gas through a chromatographic separation device in which the substances of the substance mixture are separated as a result of their different retention times and thus appear one after the other at the output of the separation device. Different detectors, such as heat conductivity detectors or flame ionization detectors for example, are available for the detection of the separated materials. The use of a mass spectrometer as detector also makes it possible, in addition to detecting the chromatographically separated materials, to differentiate between materials with the same retention times but different masses. Since the mass spectrometric analysis of materials is undertaken in a vacuum, the presence of the carrier gas which comes out of the gas chromatograph together with the separated materials is undesired. The mass spectrometer is thus connected via a controllable inlet valve to the output of the separation device, said inlet valve only being opened on demand, that is on arrival of the separated materials, with the carrier gas being removed as well (DE 1598568). Although it is possible to detect in the removed carrier gas the arrival of the separated substance mixture and to open the inlet valve as a function of this event, a part of the separated material, namely that material removed at the start with the carrier gas, is lost to mass spectrometric analysis in this case. The control of the feeding of separated materials to the mass spectrometer can thus only be undertaken in a relatively crude manner by adhering to safety times, so that a not insignificant amount of carrier gas gets into the mass spectrometer and a correspondingly high pump power is required to generate the necessary vacuum.
The underlying object of the invention is thus to optimize the mass spectrometric analysis of gas chromatographically separated materials.
In accordance with the invention the object is achieved by a gas chromatograph with a downstream mass spectrometer which is connected via a controllable inlet valve to the output of a separation device of the gas chromatograph separating the materials passing through it, with a detector detecting the separated materials in a non-destructive manner being arranged between the output of the separation device and the inlet valve in-line and an evaluation device being arranged downstream from the detector which evaluates the detector signals generated by the detector and, depending on these signals, controls the inlet valve to introduce predetermined materials into the mass spectrometer.
The object is further achieved by a method for gas chromatographic mass spectrometric analysis of a substance mixture, which, for separation of the materials contained in it, is directed by means of a carrier gas through a separation device, at the output of which the separated materials arriving there are introduced for quantitative determination via a controllable inlet valve into a mass spectrometer, with the separated materials being detected by a detector arranged in-line between the output of the separation device and the inlet valve, and depending on the detection, the inlet valve is controlled for introduction of predetermined materials into the mass spectrometer.
The separated materials appearing at the output of the separation device are detected in-line and non-destructively, with only those materials being forwarded to the mass spectrometer which have been selected for a further mass spectrometric analysis. As a result of the speed of the carrier gas stream the time taken by the materials to pass from the detector to the inlet valve of the mass spectrometer is known, so that the materials can be transferred very selectively to the mass spectrometer and thus the amount of carrier gas entering the mass spectrometer is minimal. The pump power for creation of the vacuum in the mass spectrometer can thus be correspondingly small, so that very small pumps, e.g. ion getter pumps, can be employed. This produces benefits as regards costs, service life, maintenance requirements and power consumption. Further the scope of measurement signal evaluation in the mass spectrometer is restricted just to the materials fed selectively to it, so that its electronics and software can be designed to be cheaper and more powerful (fast).
Materials which are not selected for mass spectrometric analysis can if necessary still be analyzed by the in-line detector and the downstream evaluation unit.
The only detectors employed are those which do not destroy the substance mixture, i.e. a suitable heat conductivity detector, optical detector or detector operating with surface acoustic waves for example. In order not to adversely affect the separation performance of the separation device, the measurement path through which the substance mixture flows in this case is preferably embodied by the detector such that its cross sectional dimensions correspond at least approximately to the cross sectional dimensions of the separation device.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the inventive gas chromatograph mass spectrometer the detector consists of a heat conductivity detector with heat resistors arranged in a bridge circuit, of which two heat resistors lying diagonally opposite one another in the two different halves of the bridge circuit are arranged in the measurement path; the two other heat resistors then lie for example in a reference path through which the carrier gas flows.
For further explanation of the invention reference is made below to the Figures of the drawing.
A detector 8 for detecting the separated materials is arranged at the output of the separation device 7. The detector 8 delivers a detector signal 9 which contains a peak 10 for each separated material, the surface of said peak being proportional to the amount of material. In an evaluation unit 11 arranged downstream from the detector 8, the arrival of selected materials is determined on the basis of their peaks 10 and, depending on this event and on the carrier gas speed, an inlet valve 12 between the detector 8 and the mass spectrometer 2 is controlled such that this valve only introduces the selected materials into the mass spectrometer 2 and removes the other materials as well as the carrier gas via an outlet 13.
The selected materials arriving in the vacuum 14 of the mass spectrometer 2 are ionized in a zone source 15, then separated in a mass filter 16 in accordance with their mass/charge ratio and finally verified by means of a detector array 17 with downstream evaluation device 18.

Success Through Social Media Marketing
Business Leadership Case Study: Buffalo Creative Group
SCORE and MassMutual know how important it is to get good advice. That is why, for SCORE's 50th anniversary, we are sharing helpful, relevant, and succinct tips for your business success. The tips are based on real-life experiences and successes from people like you.
These case studies are real-life business owners that used the advice from SCORE mentors, applied it to their business, and achieved real, measurable results.
Buffalo Creative Group
Leslie Taylor
East Aurora, NY
SCORE Mentors
Maxwell E. Ellis, Fred Witherby
The Client:
Multimedia designer Leslie Taylor had owned a freelance design company with her husband, Jeff, before having children and taking a corporate marketing job. Taylor always wanted to be her own boss again, and after attending a SCORE seminar on starting a business, she began planning for the launch of Buffalo Creative Group in 2013.
The Challenge:
Although Taylor had 15 years of experience in multimedia design, including Web and print work, she needed help finding clients after being in the corporate world for so long. In August 2013 she began meeting with SCORE mentors Maxwell E. Ellis, a former advertising executive and ad agency owner, and attorney Fred Witherby.
The Solution:
Witherby counseled Taylor on the legal structure of her business, while Ellis advised her on generating leads and negotiating with clients. "Max suggested I be proactive in networking and join groups such as the Rotary Club and Chamber of Commerce," Taylor says. Contacts in those organizations have led to new business and referrals.
Taylor has also found success through social media; for example, she has held giveaways on her company's Facebook page to promote interest. Ellis also helped her build her connections on LinkedIn, suggested ways to post on LinkedIn in order to make herself more visible, and advised her on which LinkedIn groups to join to cultivate new business. "I found one of my best clients through LinkedIn," Taylor says.
The Results:
After less than a year in business, Buffalo Creative Group has obtained steady clients and is on track to meet sales goals for 2014. Working with two independent contractors, and with Taylor's husband, Jeff, handling Website development and maintenance for clients, the company handles online and multimedia projects, print design and video.
"Starting my own business was a little scary, so it was nice to be in the company of people who had done it themselves and who I could rely on to answer my questions," says Taylor, who still meets with Ellis on a regular basis. "In business, most people you meet want to get something from you, but SCORE is there to help you, with no bias or agenda."
Mass Mutual is not associated with, and does not endorse, the business featured.

Dalteparin (Porcine) SubQ Uses and How to Use
Dalteparin is used to treat or prevent harmful blood clots. Preventing harmful blood clots helps to reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack. This medication helps keep your blood flowing smoothly by lowering the activity of clotting proteins in the blood. Dalteparin is a type of heparin, and works as an anticoagulant (commonly called a "blood thinner").
Conditions that increase your risk of developing blood clots include certain types of surgeries (e.g., hip replacement or abdominal), long periods of being in one position (immobile), certain types of heart attack, and a certain type of chest pain called unstable angina. For some medical conditions, dalteparin may be used in combination with other "blood thinners."
How To Use
This medication is injected under the skin (subcutaneously) by a healthcare professional. Follow your doctor's directions for using dalteparin. Do not inject into a muscle (intramuscularly). Dosage and length of treatment are based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Dosage may also be based on your weight for some conditions.
If you are giving yourself injections at home, make sure you learn how to prepare and inject this medication properly. Select a different site for each injection. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse any questions you may have about how to give yourself dalteparin. Learn how to properly dispose of used syringes, needles, and any unused medication. Never reuse needles or syringes.
If you are uncertain how this medication should be used, ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain it to you.
This medication should not be mixed with or added to any other medication in the same syringe. Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid.
Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use it at the same time(s) each day.
Take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip any doses. It is very important to continue taking this medication even if you feel well. Do not stop taking dalteparin without first talking with your doctor.

MLA INTERNATIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHY 1963 - to date (updated quarterly).Indexes 3,000 English language and foreign periodicals as well as books, book chapters, and dissertations. Its subject matter includes critical works on authors, literature, language, linguistics, and folklore.
WOMEN'S STUDIES INTERNATIONAL 1972 - to date; (updated semiannually). A composite of several contributing databases of citations covering women's studies, women's issues, and gender-focused scholarship from throughout the world. Corresponds to Women Studies Abstracts (1984-); New Books on Women & Feminism (1987-); and other databases and print publications. It contains more than 540,000 citations (!) to books, book reviews, articles, and reports. More than 2,000 academic, popular, and grassroots periodicals are selectively represented. Most material cited is in English; some in French- Canadian, Spanish, or other languages. There are some links to tables of contents from books and to fulltext material.
For reports of women's speeches from mid-nineteenth century onward, it might be useful to try the Historical New York Times (starts in 1851) and for the Chicago area in particular, the Historical Chicago Tribune. (starts in 1890).
ACADEMIC SEARCH (1984 to date; updated daily) and PROQUEST RESEARCH LIBRARY (1988 to date; updated daily). Both are databases of core academic journals for university collections that provide a mixture of many articles in fulltext, others with abstracts or citations-only. Over 1,000 journals in each are available in fulltext.

The battle of the Black Forest is nearly over, 10 days after it ignited in a dry, dense pine forest in eastern El Paso County.
Like any battle, it was hard fought - quick but seemingly endless. For firefighters, it was also a game of luck and risk - of being in the right place, at the right time. The destroyed homes - now, 509 - were tucked in the forest, some invisible even from roving fire crews. But more than 3,000 homes survived.
