Bleeth Spirit
Ex of Luke and Grant, Yasmine Bleeth Is Living Her One Life to the Hilt
Well, Lee Ann may be foolish, but she's not stupid. In a ground-breaking story line this year, she taught her squeeze, Jason (Mark Brettschneider), an illiterate photographer, how to read. And one couldn't say that Bleeth has been a romantic dolt either, having dated two of the hot princes of Aaron Spelling Land, Beverly Hills, 90210's Luke Perry and Grant Show of the new summer hit Melrose Place.
This, of course, was back when all three were working on soap operas in New York City, where Yasmine (pronounced yes-MEEN) was born and raised, the daughter of Carina, an Algerian model, and Philip Bleeth, who runs a business that rents vans to fashion photographers for on-location shoots. (Her parents, who separated when she was 7, finally divorced when she was 18.) Like Ryan Fenelli, the part she played for four years on ABC's Ryan's Hope starting in 1985, Bleeth was, she says, "a cosmopolitan girl who went to private schools." Her own was the United Nations International School in Manhattan. As a student she continued to model, crossing over into acting. In her senior year she joined the cast of Ryan's Hope. "That show was my college," she says. "It's where I grew up."
Hope was canceled in 1989, and a few months later Yasmine received a sterner blow: Her mother was found to be suffering from breast cancer. When Carina died within a year, Bleeth says, "I went into a little thing"—meaning grief. "I stayed home, watching cooking shows, taking walks." She turned down acting offers for eight months, then auditioned for Lee Ann.
Three months later she met Ricky Paull Goldin, also a soap actor (Another World). "He courted me," she says, "like you would not believe." Bleeth is not crazy about discussing those two now famous suitors from her past: Perry, onetime star of Loving, and Show, her costar on Ryan's Hope. She has remained chummier with Show ("We were friends on Ryan's Hope before and after we went out") than with Perry ("We're on speaking terms. I think he feels the same way").
Bleeth and boyfriend Goldin may end up out in Hollywood themselves after their contracts expire next year. For now the couple live together in a two-bedroom Manhattan co-op. The second bedroom is where they keep Goldin's pet, a boa constrictor named Antaeus (after a cologne). "At first I wasn't a big fan of Antaeus," says Bleeth. "I tried to get Ricky to give him to the Bronx Zoo." But, as a lifelong Beauty, she must have known that at some point there would also be a Beast.

I am taking the break in the weather as a good omen. A large crowd was on hand to see the official beginning of a project that has been a dream for so many. Sincere gratitude goes to all the dignitaries who came, spoke, and turned the earth. Thanks, too, to the well-wishers ... many of them monetary supporters ... who attended. Following the ceremony, a delicious meal was served and a time of fellowship was enjoyed.
We welcome and encourage you to stop by the site throughout the summer to see the progress. Now comes the task of designing the interior of both the civic center and the museum. A committee of people from many backgrounds has been formed. Their first meeting will be Thursday, April 19. Again, we are looking for ways to incorporate features into the facilities to make them appealing and functional.
With the center, our goal is to provide an efficient and useful place for all who use it. As for the museum ... we want to educate as well as entertain. Keeping visitors of all ages in mind, we will be striving to design exhibits that will appeal to everyone, will be interactive, and will peak curiosity and learning.
Wow! Sounds like a pretty tall order, but with the input from the committee and any of you who would like to contact us with your ideas and suggestions, it can be done. I encourage you to call Headquarters at (660) 886-2630 to share your visions and any memorabilia you might have in your possession.
As we know, the growth of a city can be a spiraling thing with one new business bringing the need for another. Such was the case in 1930 according to The Marshall Democrat-News article dated March 13 of that year.

"New Industry for Marshall is Moving In
"Manufacturers of Supplies for Pilots and
"Other Items Will Employ About 50 Women
"Marshall's newest industry is moving in.
"It is the Faust Aircraft Equipment Company of Chicago. The machinery arrived over the Missouri Pacific and is being unloaded in the building formerly occupied by the Missouri Valley Storage Company on North Lafayette Avenue. Operations will probably start within two or three weeks.
"The Faust Aircraft Equipment Company has been operating in Chicago for about eighteen months, manufacturing personal equipment for pilots and flyers. This includes flying suits of all descriptions ... from those costing a few dollars to a suit which retails for $325, helmets, monogrammed unionalls for garage, oil station and other employees, playing suits for children, and other items of wearing apparel.
"The employees will be mostly women. There will be from fifty to seventy-five of these when the plant is under full production. The machinery is very similar to that in use at the International Shoe Factory and, in fact, working conditions will be quite similar to those at the shoe factory. About the same wages will be paid, it was said.
"John N. Faust, and his son, Clyde F. Faust, are the proprietors of the plant. John N. Faust, who makes his home with his son, has had forty years of manufacturing experience, twenty years of which has been with Sears, Roebuck and Company. Clyde F. Faust who is married and has one child, has had twelve years of manufacturing experience. He was an army aviation instructor during the World War, spending thirty-three months in the service. The proprietors motored to Marshall and are looking for a suitable house in which to move.
"Credit for securing the new industry goes to the Nicholas-Beazley Airplane Company, Inc., and to the industrial committee of the Chamber of Commerce. The Nicholas-Beazley Company made the contact and induced the proprietors to come here and look things over with a view to locating. The industrial committee stepped in then and sold the Fausts the town as a location.
"One of the reasons the company wished to leave Chicago was the labor troubles experienced there. No sooner would they get a group of workers trained than the unions would call them out or they would quit, or something else would happen to mar the smooth running of their plant, it was said.
"The Fausts were convinced, after talking to Russell Nicholas, president of Nicholas-Beazley, and members of the industrial committee, that the airplane factory district of America lies between St. Louis and Wichita, with Marshall almost in the center of it. More than one-half of the aeronautical supplies and airplane manufacturers in America are produced in this area. Shipments may be made to the east, west, south or north with equal dispatch.
"The Fausts are said to have realized that they could depend upon the community support, get a higher class of labor and turn out more materials with less overhead here than any place else. Another thing, Nicholas-Beazley is one of the largest outlets for the supplies produced."

This article in The Marshall Democrat-News, dated March 13, 1930, speaks about the ongoing issue of lighting at the airport. It also provides a window on some of the issues in Marshall and the surrounding area at the time. Do you recognize any of the names?
"To Finish the Boundary Wiring at N-B Airport
"C. of C. Board Accepts Gun Made By Late Henry
"Patterson ... Considers Other Matters
"The Chamber of Commerce board of directors at its regular monthly meeting Monday night decided to finish the wiring for boundary lights at the Nicholas-Beazley airport, 3 miles south of Marshall.

The present invention is directed to display devices, such as field emission display devices, particularly to electroluminescent materials used in display devices.
Display devices, such as desk-top computer screens and direct view and projection television sets, include electron excited fluorescent display devices such as cathode ray tubes. Cathode ray tubes (CRTs) function as a result of a scanning electron beam from an electron gun impinging on phosphors on a relatively distant glass screen. The phosphors absorb the energy from the electron beam and subsequently emit a portion of the energy, which is typically in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This visible emission is then transmitted through the glass screen to the viewer. Other display devices, such as field emission displays for use in flat panel display screens, which include cold cathode emission devices, and vacuum fluorescent displays for use in handheld calculators, which include hot cathode emission devices, also function as a result of electrons exciting phosphors on a screen.
Phosphors are inorganic luminescent materials that typically include "activator" atoms that can modify the emitted radiation, such that the emission is in the visible region, as well as modify the emission intensity and the persistence of the image. Phosphors should preferably be capable of maintaining luminescence (e.g., fluorescence) under excitation for a relatively short period of time to provide superior image reproduction. This is a characteristic known as "persistence." Typically, persistence for display phosphors is less than about 50 milliseconds. Persistence that is too long can be undesirable in display devices, causing a smearing effect on the screen, but may be desirable in a fluorescent light tube or the like. Another characteristic of phosphors is lifetime, which refers to the degradation of the phosphor over the time of use, which may extend to months or years of normal use, depending upon the application.
In general, it is desirable to produce highly pure phosphors to increase absorption of the available excitation energy by the activator that emits the required radiation, rather than being consumed by other impurities or "killer" centers, which would result in lower luminescence and lower efficiency. Therefore, the quality of the deposited phosphor is an important parameter.
Typically, in field emission displays, cathode ray tubes, powder electroluminescent cells, and other electroluminescent articles, a phosphor is deposited on an insulating substrate, which can be coated with a transparent, conductive material such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or tin oxide (TO). In conventional cathode ray tubes (CRTs), a reflective layer (such as aluminum) is evaporated on one side of the insulating substrate in order to reflect emitted light. The reflective layer and the transparent conductive material assist in dissipating charge which builds up during use.
Commonly used methods for depositing phosphors include settling techniques, slurry methods (such as screen printing, spin coating, and spin casting), electrophoresis, or dusting methods (such as electrostatic dusting, "phototacky" methods, and high pressure dusting).
In settling methods, phosphor is suspended in a solution and allowed to settle gravitationally or centrifugally onto the substrate. In slurry methods, phosphors typically are mixed with a liquid, such as a photoresist, to form a slurry or suspension. The slurry is deposited onto the substrate, dried, and exposed to ultraviolet radiation through a photomask to produce a desired pattern. Exposed areas will be washed away during development when using a positive photoresist system, for example.
In electrophoresis, phosphor particles are deposited from a suspension under the action of an electric field. They may be deposited in a pattern onto the substrate. The suspension typically includes a nonaqueous liquid, such as an alcohol, and an electrolyte, such as a salt of yttrium, cerium, indium, aluminum, magnesium, lanthanum, or thorium. Such metal salts make it possible to electrically charge the phosphor particles. The part coated typically serves as the cathode (cataphoresis). An electrochemical reaction occurs at the cathode, believed to convert metal salts to metal hydroxides, thus assisting in phosphor adhesion.
In dusting methods, a photoresist is applied to a substrate and partially dried. Phosphor particles are then blown onto the surface, sticking to the partially dried photoresist. The layer is then completely dried and exposed to radiation through a photomask to produce a desired pattern. Unexposed areas are removed during development if a negative photoresist system is used. Electrostatic dusting is carried out in a similar manner, except that electrostatic charge is used to attract the phosphor particles onto the partially dried photoresist. In "phototacky" methods, photoresist is applied and dried to a substrate, followed by exposure to radiation through a photomask. The photoresist becomes tacky in the exposed areas and phosphor is applied to the surface, sticking only to the tacky areas.
After a phosphor screen is in use (such as for a cathode ray tube or a field emission display device), other problems can develop. For example, when a voltage is applied to a phosphor screen, electrochemical reactions can occur which result in poisoning of the cathode. In addition, reactions can occur which degrade the color and/or the intensity of phosphor emission. This can be the result if applied voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of any of the constituents of the screen.
Thus, there is a need in the art for electroluminescent materials that have good performance in terms of the ability to conduct excess charge away from a charged phosphor screen, and an ability to reduce or prevent poisoning of the cold cathode and phosphor degradation due to unwanted electrochemical reactions.
In one aspect, the present invention provides a method of forming a conductive electroluminescent material comprising: providing a substrate having phosphor particles coated thereon; providing a composition comprising a polymeric precursor of a conductive inorganic oxide and a liquid medium; depositing the composition onto the phosphor particles to form a polymeric precursor coated substrate; and converting the polymeric precursor of a conductive inorganic oxide to a conductive inorganic oxide overlaying the phosphor particles to form the conductive electroluminescent material. Preferably, the converting step comprises drying the coated substrate for a time sufficient to remove the liquid medium, and heating the coated substrate for a time sufficient to form a conductive inorganic oxide overlaying the phosphor particles to form the conductive electroluminescent material. Optionally, a binder precursor, such as a precursor of a silicate binder, may be mixed with the polymeric precursor composition and coated onto the phosphor layer. Alternatively, the binder precursor may be coated onto the conductive inorganic oxide layer and converted, such as by drying, to a binder.
In another aspect, the present invention provides a method of making a field emission display device comprising: providing phosphor particles on an electrically conductive transparent substrate; providing a composition comprising a polymeric precursor of a conductive inorganic oxide in a liquid medium; depositing the composition onto the phosphor particles to form a polymeric precursor coated substrate; and converting the polymeric precursor of a conductive inorganic oxide to a conductive inorganic oxide overlaying the phosphor particles to form a conductive electroluminescent material.
In yet another aspect, this invention provides a conductive electroluminescent material comprising phosphor particles having an overlaying coating of a substantially continuous layer of a conductive inorganic oxide. Optionally, the conductive electroluminescent material further comprises a binder. The binder may be mixed with the phosphor particles or may be mixed with the coating of the conductive inorganic oxide. The conductive inorganic oxide is preferably selected from the group of indium oxide, tin-doped indium oxide, tin oxide, antimony-doped tin oxide, and mixtures of these.
The present invention provides conductive electroluminescent materials and methods for forming electroluminescent materials. Preferably, the electroluminescent materials are formed on a substrate in the preparation of an electroluminescent device, such as field emission displays, cathode ray tubes, powder electroluminescent cells, and the like. Conductive electroluminescent material includes a layer of a conductive inorganic oxide (preferably, a substantially continuous layer) overlaying phosphor particles, and optionally a binder. The layer of conductive inorganic oxide, when present in a field emission display device or similar fluorescent display device, for example, serves to bleed away build-up of electrostatic charge and to reduce or eliminate electrochemical reactions that can quench phosphor luminescence and poison the cold cathode. The advantage of the layer of conductive inorganic oxide (preferably, a substantially continuous layer) is that it does not adversely affect the properties (e.g., transparency, conductivity, and efficiency) of phosphors in electroluminescent articles.
Preferably, the substrate on which the electroluminescent material is disposed is a transparent, insulating substrate, such as glass. Other transparent insulating substrates may be suitable in the practice of this invention. The substrate may have coated thereon a transparent electrically conductive coating on which the phosphor particles are deposited. If present, this coating is distinct from the conductive inorganic oxide layer which is coated over the phosphor particles. The transparent conductive coating, which is coated directly on the substrate, is typically one of indium tin oxide (ITO), tin oxide, cadmium oxide, zinc oxide, and the like. Preferably, the transparent conductive coating is indium tin oxide or tin oxide. More preferably, the transparent conductive coating is indium tin oxide.
The phosphor particles useful in this invention are electroluminescent particles that may be conductive or nonconductive. Particularly suitable phosphors for use in field emission displays, for example, are dielectric (nonconducting) phosphors. Examples of such phosphors include a variety of metal oxide, sulfide, fluoride, and silicate compounds. For example, such phosphor particles include manganese- and arsenic-activated zinc silicate (P39 phosphor), titanium-activated zinc silicate, manganese-activated zinc silicate (P1 phosphor), cerium-activated yttrium silicate (P47 phosphor), manganese-activated magnesium silicate (P13 phosphor), lead- and manganese-activated calcium silicate (P25 phosphor), terbium-activated yttrium silicate, terbium-activated yttrium oxide, terbium-activated yttrium aluminum oxide, terbium-activated gadolinium oxide, terbium-activated yttrium aluminum gallium oxide, europium-activated yttrium oxide, europium-activated yttrium vanadium oxide, europium-activated yttrium oxysulfide, and the like.
Phosphor particles typically have a size of less than about 15 microns (μm), but often less than about 10 μm, and preferably, less than about 5 μm, although larger sized particles can be produced and milled to a smaller particle size. Phosphor particles preferably are deposited in a smooth, homogeneous layer, ranging in thickness from about 0.3 μm to about 40 μm by any of a variety of techniques known to one of skill in the art. Such techniques include settling techniques, slurry methods (such as screen printing, spin coating, and spin casting), electrophoresis, or dusting methods (such as electrostatic dusting, "phototacky" methods, and high pressure dusting). Settling techniques and slurry methods involve forming a dispersion of the phosphor particles in a suitable liquid medium. A preferred deposition method is electrophoresis.
In the method of this invention, a solution of a polymeric precursor of a conductive inorganic oxide is deposited over the phosphor particles, which are deposited on a substrate. Suitable compounds that are precursors to the conductive inorganic oxide include polymeric precursors of metallic oxides. These precursors form conductive coatings of indium oxide, tin-doped indium oxide, tin oxide, and antimony-doped tin oxide under the appropriate conditions. Suitable precursor compounds are commercially available from Alfa Aesar of Ward Hill, Mass. and are characterized by the manufacturer as: indium oxide, polymeric precursor, soluble in hexane and toluene, oxide content of approximately 35 weight percent; indium oxide, tin-doped, polymeric precursor, soluble in hexane and toluene, oxide content of approximately 35 weight percent; tin oxide, polymeric precursor, soluble in alcohols, oxide content of approximately 29 weight percent; and tin oxide, antimony-doped, polymeric precursor, soluble in alcohols, oxide content of approximately 30 weight percent. These polymeric precursors are typically heated to a temperature effective to convert them to their respective conductive inorganic oxides. Typically, the temperature at which this occurs is at least about 400� C.
Materials that form binders for enhancing the adhesion of phosphor and/or conductive inorganic oxide to the substrate may also be added when depositing phosphors and polymeric precursors of the inorganic oxide. That is, a material that forms a binder, i.e., a binder precursor, can be mixed with a composition (typically a slurry or dispersion) of phosphor particles or a composition (typically, a solution) of a polymeric precursor of an inorganic oxide. Alternatively, binder precursors can be deposited after the phosphor layer or inorganic oxide layer has been deposited. Such materials are then dried and/or heated to form the binder. Suitable binder precursor materials include colloidal silica and various silicates, both inorganic silicates such as sodium silicate and potassium silicate, and organosilicates, such as that available from Techneglas under the trade designation GR650F. Such binder precursor materials may be treated by thermal energy or by plasma or ultraviolet light to form the binder. Certain of these materials are desirable binders because low temperature treatment (i.e., room temperature up to about 200� C.) is sufficient to convert them to effective binders. An effective binder is capable of producing good adhesion of the phosphor to the substrate and phosphor to phosphor.
It may be desirable to deposit a phosphor, a polymeric precursor of an inorganic oxide, and/or a binder precursor out of a composition (e.g., a solution, a slurry, a dispersion) containing a liquid medium. The liquid medium is preferably a nonaqueous liquid, which can be selected from a wide variety of liquids commonly used in the deposition of phosphors. These include, but are not limited to, polar organic liquids such as alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropanol), ketones (e.g., acetone), nitromethane, and nitropropane. Depending upon the dispersion characteristics of the phosphor, it is also possible to use water as the liquid medium.
In a preferred method of the invention, a composition of a polymeric precursor of a conductive inorganic oxide is deposited onto a phosphor layer, and heated to convert the polymeric precursor of the conductive inorganic oxide. Optionally, a binder precursor can be coated onto the substrate in the same step as that of the polymeric precursor of the conductive inorganic oxide or in a separate step. For example, a binder precursor can be deposited over the conductive inorganic oxide layer. The deposition of the polymeric precursor composition and/or the binder precursor composition can be accomplished by a variety of solution coating techniques known to those of skill in the art. Preferably, spin coating is used.
The amount of the polymeric precursor of conductive inorganic oxide deposited on the phosphor particles is at least sufficient to impart improved conductivity compared to phosphors having no inorganic oxide deposited on them. Typically, the amount of polymeric precursor in a composition (e.g., a solution) ranges from about 0.1 weight percent to about 10 weight percent, based on total solids content. The amount will vary depending on the type of phosphor this material will be overcoating.
The polymeric precursor of the inorganic oxide may be dried for a time sufficient to remove the liquid medium from the polymeric precursor. If spin coating is used, however, this may not be required. The polymeric precursor is then heated at a temperature of at least about 400� C., preferably, at a temperature ranging from about 400� C. to about 450� C., for a time sufficient to convert the polymeric precursor to a conductive inorganic oxide and burn off any organics. The conductive inorganic oxide layer is preferably sufficiently thick so as to be substantially continuous yet sufficiently thin so as not to substantially reduce the efficiency of the phosphor. The desired materials for this layer are preferably transparent. They reduce or eliminate electrochemical reactions on the phosphor layer that result in high voltage potential across the phosphor layer.
The methods described herein can be used for forming a wide variety of electroluminescent materials in a wide variety of electroluminescent devices. Although the methods of the present invention are particularly suitable for use in the preparation of computer display devices, particularly field emission displays, they can be used to prepare a variety of other electron excited fluorescent display devices, such as a standard CRT used in television sets, virtual reality screens, book video screens, head-mounted display devices, and the like. Typically, dielectric (nonconductive) phosphors are used on the transparent, conductive coating (e.g., ITO) of such devices, instead of conductive phosphors. Although conductive phosphors may be more desirable because they conduct charge away and do not allow charge to build up, dielectric phosphors are more readily available and can be more stable when used for desired applications such as field emission displays.
Field emission displays typically include a display panel having a transparent gas-tight envelope, and two main planar electrodes arranged within the gas-tight envelope parallel with each other. One of the two main electrodes is a cold cathode with a grid, and the other is an anode. The anode may consist of a transparent glass plate, an electrode formed on the transparent glass plate, and a phosphor layer coated on the transparent electrode. Devices such as these are further disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,210,472 (Casper et al.), 5,372,973 (Doan et al.), and 5,577,943 (Vickers et al.), for example.
The invention will be further described by reference to the following detailed example. This example is offered to further illustrate the various specific and illustrative embodiments and techniques. It should be understood, however, that many variations and modifications may be made while remaining within the scope of the present invention.
Phosphor compositions are prepared by mixing 0.001 to 0.1 weight percent of a metal salt (lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate, aluminum nitrate nonahydrate, indium nitrate hydrate, thorium nitrate hydrate or magnesium nitrate hydrate), 0.001 to 1 weight percent of glycerol, and 0.1 to 10 weight percent of a phosphor in iso-propanol (IPA). This phosphor suspension is deposited onto a faceplate by cataphoresis and then dried at room temperature to remove the IPA.
Polymeric precursors to conductive inorganic oxides are made into solutions containing 1 to 5 weight percent of the precursors in the appropriate solvent:
indium oxide polymeric precursor in toluene;
tin-doped indium oxide polymeric precursor in toluene;
tin oxide polymeric precursor in IPA; or
antimony-doped tin oxide polymeric precursor in IPA.
The solutions are deposited over the phosphor layer by spin coating. Each of the samples is dry at the end of the spin coat operation. Each sample is then heated to at least about 400� C. to convert the polymeric precursor to a conductive inorganic oxide.
An organosilicate (commercially available as Techniglas GR650F) binder precursor solution is prepared by diluting the organosilicate in IPA to about 0.1 weight percent to about 5 weight percent. This solution is deposited over the conductive inorganic oxide layer using spin coating and then cured. Alternatively, a binder layer can be deposited onto the phosphor layer, and then dried and cured, before deposition of the polymeric precursor of the conductive inorganic oxide. In another variation, a composition containing both the organosilicate and the polymeric precursor in appropriate solvent (such as isopropanol) can be spin coated onto the phosphor layer and heated to form a conductive inorganic oxide in a binder.
The complete disclosure of all patents, patent documents, and publications cited herein are incorporated by reference. The foregoing detailed description and example have been given for clarity of understanding only. No unnecessary limitations are to be understood therefrom. The invention is not limited to the exact details shown and described, for variations obvious to one skilled in the art will be included within the invention defined by the claims.

The Color of Jam
In the jam-band world, there is a natural need to fill the void created by the departure of Phish and the Dead and Tea Leaf Green has met the challenge with flying colors (well... green, at least). Keeping with the jam-band tradition, Tea Leaf Green makes MP3s of its gigs available for download on its website and posts complete setlists online as well. In a few years' time, the Tea Leafers have earned a following that has taken them from small bars to full-size venues, opening for the likes of Trey Anastasio and the Dave Matthews Band. On Tea Leaf Green's recently released CD/DVD, Rock 'n' Roll Band, we get an up-close glimpse of the band during a performance in Boulder, Colorado. They haven't made it big yet but they are well aware that they just might.
Tea Leaf Green opens for Galactic on Friday, January 12, at Revolution, 200 W. Broward Blvd., Fort Lauderdale. Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $24. Call 954-727-0950, or visit www.jointherevolution.net.

Dealing with life's challenges can be tough, as life coach Suzy Greaves (left) found out for herself. So she decided it was time to take her own advice…
At 43, I now have the chance to find out if my worst fears are true, with a controversial new £400 blood test which can supposedly estimate how long I will live.
Sylvia Brady, a 91-year-old grandmother, doesn't need science to tell her how to be happy — she knew it from hard-won experience. And what a lot of it she has accumulated.
As a respected life coach, Suzy helped people deal with their own divorces all the time. But it was only when it came to her own that she really discovered how to cope.

The Chattanooga Lookouts again found runs difficult to come by in their series and homestand finale against the Huntsville Stars Sunday afternoon. The start of the game was held up for 30 minutes due to the threat of rain. The rain failed to come but the game was played in 94 degree weather.
Four Huntsville pitchers combined to hold the Lookouts to seven hits, while their offense generated single runs in four separate innings to take the decisive game in the five-game series, 4-0, Sunday at AT&T Field. Chattanooga could only score once although they had runners in scoring position eight time.
Not even the return of pitcher Rob Rasmussen from Albuquerque helped Sunday. the Stars managed only one earned run (two total) against tough-luck loser Ross Stripling (5-3), but added single runs against each of Chattanooga's two relievers, including Rasmussen, who would have been named an all-star as a starter if not for his promotion to Triple-A.
The Stars broke the ice in a scoreless game with a run in the third inning, coming on a Hector Gomez double followed by an RBI single from Stars leadoff hitter Chadwin Strang. Gomez was on the production end of the fourth-inning run, following an Anderson De La Rosa single and a Lookouts error with an RBI single.
Neither team did anything until the eighth, when Eric Patterson led off the Stars' half of the inning with a double and came around to score on a ground ball. Their ninth-inning insurance run was provided by Jason Rogers, who had an RBI double.
Gomez had three of Huntsville's 11 hits to raise his season average to .188. For the Lookouts Rafael Ynoa continued to be productive out of the leadoff spot, picking up two hits and raising his average to .262 but giving him hits in seven of his last eight games. He and pitchers Stripling and Pedro Baez each hit doubles in a losing cause.
The Lookouts (16-33 in the second half) will welcome a day off Monday before beginning a five-game series in Kodak against the Tennessee Smokies.
RHP Onelki Garcia was promoted to Albuquerque.

The hedge fund industry grew by 2.5% in September to reach $1.62 trillion, the most it has managed in six months.
Commodity trading advisers were the biggest beneficiaries of the inflows, according to TrimTabs Investment Research and BarclayHedge, taking in $5.8 billion on the month. The entire industry grew by just $3.8 billion in September.
Fixed-income hedge funds also saw big inflows, adding $1.3 billion on the month. By contrast, long-only equity funds and emerging markets funds suffered net outflows of $829 million and $269 million, respectively. And investors continued to abandon funds of hedge funds, pulling $635 million from the vehicles.
Separately, Nomura Holdings reports that the last three years have not been kind to quantitative hedge funds. Such funds manage 43% less than they did in 2007, halving their share of the actively-managed equity hedge fund market..
Most of the decline was due to poor performance, which amounted to 24% of the loss. The rest, however, was the result of investors fleeing that poor performance.
"We saw quants win new mandates in the first half of 2010, perhaps a bit of a sign of leveling-off of the outflows in 2010," Nomura's Inigo Fraser-Jenkins told Bloomberg News. "The problem is that since then, over the summer, their performance has suffered and that may give a bit of a knock to their ability to win mandates."

Small Business
Simon Thwaites knew he had an entrepreneurial spirit as an Otago University graduate when he managed to raise the funds to travel to Europe within three weeks.
It was 1989, and he and his girlfriend wanted to head off on their OE. He searched the student job board and found an ad seeking sales people to attract players for a new indoor netball league. The league had attracted little interest because the sports centre was a long way from the university.
Thwaites convinced the sports centre owner to let him handle player recruitment. He then found a popular university pub, the Captain Cook Tavern, as a sponsor, and printed flyers featuring Captain Cook in a netball skirt shooting for goal and a free keg of beer each week.
"It was a bit of a laugh," said Thwaites. It was also a huge success. Students signed up for teams in their droves to the point where they had reserve teams, and the delighted sports centre owner paid Thwaites a bonus on top of his commission. That experience sparked Thwaites on to bigger and brighter things, including helping turn around his uncle's packaging business in Australia and then establishing jewellery business Silvermoon in 2000.
The impetus for the start up was Thwaites returning broke after travelling to exotic countries to surf. To fund further trips, he began importing silver.
Silvermoon's first outlet - a kiosk - was in Christchurch. At this time, the demand for kiosks in shopping malls was low, rents were cheap and landlords were flexible.
By 2005 it became clear women buyers favoured branded jewellery and the brands wanted their product displayed in the right environment.
Silvermoon spent $3 million converting its kiosks into shops, attracting brands such as Kagi, Karen Walker, Georgini and Louis Thompson. Today the business has 90 staff and 13 stores, with a strong presence in Christchurch and Wellington.
Why did you become an entrepreneur?
I was a dreadful employee. I needed the freedom and motivational drive that comes with being your own boss.
What have been the biggest obstacles in running your company?
Finance. No bank would touch Silvermoon in the early days. It is not until you are a sure thing that banks throw money at you.
Name one thing you've learnt from in business and from who?
Don't unnecessarily over-extend yourself. As we grew and produced good results, the bank eventually offered us credit.
One year I asked for a reasonably conservative amount and the bank (pre-global financial crisis) offered me substantially more than I wanted. I thought I was bullet-proof and took the extra money. I borrowed more money than I needed. We got through, but it made life difficult.
What are your business and personal goals?
To keep reinventing the Silvermoon business model. To keep acquiring the world's favourite jewellery brands.
To improve our on-line sales. To diversify into non-jewellery businesses as time allows. I'm keen to stay fit so I can keep up with my three-year-old.

Nigella Lawson's husband Charles Saatchi cautioned by police
Melbourne: Celebrity cook Nigella Lawson`s billionaire husband, Charles Saatchi, has admitted that he assaulted his wife by choking her in public during a heated fight at the Scott`s restaurant in Mayfair.
Earlier he had described his act as merely a `playful tiff` with no grip during a discussion where he was trying to `emphasize` a point, the Herald Sun reported.
Saatchi was interrogated for five hours at Charing Cross police station about the week old incident, where he acknowledged his mistake and was handed a formal caution.
A police spokesman confirmed that the 70-year-old man voluntarily attended a Central London police station and accepted a caution for assault.
Despite the attack , the couple still seems to be together as they were seen dining at the same restaurant and sat at the same place where a week earlier the apparent assault occurred.
