The present invention relates to light-emitting phosphor particles and light-emitting devices employing same, and more particularly, to light-emitting substance-coated phosphor particles and light-emitting devices employing same.
Fluorescence occurs when a material emits visible light after being excited by an excitation source applied from outside. A fluorescent lamp, a discharge tube, and a cathode ray tube utilize fluorescence. A material that emits fluorescence is called a phosphor.
Electroluminescence is a solid state phenomenon, which involves the emission of visible or invisible radiation as a result of the absorption of exciting energy. It is a general term which includes both fluorescence and phosphorescence. Invisible light further includes infrared and ultraviolet radiation.
An electroluminescent (EL) display device generally includes a layer of phosphor positioned between two electrodes, with at least one of the electrodes being light-transmissive. At least one dielectric also is positioned between the electrodes so the EL display device functions as a capacitor. When a voltage is applied across the electrodes, the phosphor material is activated and emits a light.
Phosphors may be employed in the manufacture of electroluminescent devices. Long-lasting phosphors are known in the art, and include sulfides and oxides. Many long-lasting phosphor products are those with a sulfide as their base crystal, such as ZnS:Cu. These are disadvantageous in that the after-glow lasts for a relatively short duration of time, for example, for about three hours at the longest.
Phosphorescence characteristics are influenced by composition, particle diameter, and environment, in particular, the phosphorescence brightness of phosphors. With respect to particle diameter, there is a tendency that the phosphorescence brightness decreases proportionally with a decrease in the particle diameter below 100 microns.
Light-emitting small molecules (LEMs) may also be employed in the manufacture of electroluminescent devices. Suitable light-emitting small molecules include quinolines, fluorescein, and the like.
Light-emitting polymers (LEPs) may further be employed in the manufacture of electroluminescent devices. Suitable light-emitting polymers include MEH-PPV (2-methoxy-5-2′-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene copolymer, MEH-BP-PPV (poly[2-Methoxy-5-(2′-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene-co-4,4′-bisphenylenevinylene]), and MEH-CN-PPV. These LEPs absorb radiation at about 400 to about 500 nm (blue light) and emit radiation at about 600 and 800 nm (yellow, orange, and red light).
The short lifetime of organic light-emitting polymers (LEPs) is presently a major impediment to their use in commercial environments. Organic LEPs are unstable when exposed to air and humidity. In addition to oxygen, other contaminants present in air, such as ozone and NH3, also adversely affect the useful lifetime of LEPs.
Heretofore, lamps fabricated from LEPs have been entirely encapsulated, or have had exposed surfaces coated with protective layers to achieve stability. This large-scale encapsulation/coating process is costly, and requires the use of a relatively expensive transparent material.
In addition, the phosphors used in previous EL devices require relatively high voltage, typically in the range of about 60 to about 240 volts. What is needed is an electroluminescent device that requires minimal operating voltage and that exhibits long term stability without stringent inert atmosphere handling or encapsulation requirements.
Thus, it would be a contribution to the art to provide phosphor particles coated with a suitable light-emitting substance, wherein said substance may be molecular or polymeric in nature, or a combination of both, having enhanced stability for use in electroluminescent devices, as well as electroluminesecent devices employing same. It would be a further contribution to the art to provide phosphor particles layered in an electroluminescent device with additional layers of other suitable light-emitting substances, wherein said substances may be molecular or polymeric in nature, or a combination of both.
The present invention provides light-emitting substance-coated phosphor particles.
The present invention also provides light-emitting polymer-coated phosphor particles.
The present invention additionally provides light-emitting molecule-coated phosphor particles.
The present invention further provides light-emitting polymer-coated phosphor particles.
Still further provided by the present invention are devices employing said light-emitting substance-coated phosphor particles.
Additionally provided are devices with layers of phosphor particles along with layers of other light-emitting substances, wherein said substances may be molecular or polymeric in nature, or a combination of both.
The electroluminescent light-emitting substance (LES) can be chosen from a wide variety of light-emitting materials, including both small molecule or molecular (LEMs) and polymeric light-emitting materials (LEPs), or a combination of both. The preparation and use of such materials is well known to those skilled in the art. LEM-coated or LEP-coated phosphor particles may be employed in place of traditional phosphors in electroluminescent devices. For discussion purposes, LEPs will be exemplified hereinbelow, but it is understood that LEMs or a combination of LEPs and LEMs may also be employed.
As used herein, the term polymeric material refers to materials having repeating structural units, such as polyphenylene, whereas the term molecular material refers to material that is a small molecule, or material having only one structural unit. These small molecules may be organic or inorganic.

Suitable light-emitting small molecules include 8-hydroxyquinoline, fluorescein, rhodamine, xanthene or substituted xanthene, substituted coumarin, substituted hydroxycoumarin, substituted or unsubstituted tetra-cyanoquinolines, ethidium bromide, propidium iodide, benzoxanthene yellow, bixbenzimide ((2′-[4-hydroxyphenyl]-5-[4-methyl-1-piperazinyl]-2,5′-bi-1H-benzimidazol) and (2′-[4-ethoxyphenyl]-5-[4-methyl-1-piperazinyl]-2,5′-bi-1H-benzimidazol)), DAPI (4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole), as well as light-emitting metal complexes, such as lithium tetra (2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinolinato)boron, bis(8-hydroxyquinolinato)zinc, tris(benzoylacetonato)mono(phenanthroline)europium(III), tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(III), and tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)gallium(III).
In an alternative, other appropriate light emitting substances may include organic and inorganic complexes, such as tris(8-hydroxyquinolato) aluminum; tetra(2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinolato) boron; lithium salt; 4,4′-bis(9-ethyl-3-carbazovinylene)-1,1′-biphenyl; 9,10-di[(9-ethyl-3-carbazoyl)-vinylenyl)]-anthracene; 4,4′-bis(diphenylvinylenyl)-biphenyl; 1,4-bis(9-ethyl-3-carbazovinylene)-2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)benzene; tris(benzoylacetonato)mono(phenanthroline) europium (III); tris(dibenzoylmethane)mono(phenanthroline) europium (III); tris(dibenzoylmethane)mono(5-aminophenanthroline)europium (III); tris(dinapthoylmethane)mono(phenanthroline) europium (III); tris(biphenoylmethane)mono(phenanthroline) europium (III); tris(dibenzoylmethane)mono(4,7-diphenyl phenanthroline)europium (III); tris(dibenzoylmethane)mono(4,7-dimethyl-phenanthroline)europium (III); tris(dibenzoylmethane)mono(4,7-dihydroxy-phenanthroline)europium (III); tris(dibenzoylmethane)mono(4,7-dihydroxyloxy-phenanthroline)europium (III); lithium tetra(8-hydroxyquinolinato) boron; 4,4′-bis(9-ethyl-3-carbazovinylene)-1,1′-biphenyl; bis(8-hydroxyquinolinato)zinc; bis(2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinolinato)zinc; iridium (III) tris(2-phenylpyridine); tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum; and tris[1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(2,2-dimethylpropan-1-oyl)-pyrazolin-5-one]-terbium, many of which are commercially available from American Dye Source, Inc.
If a combination of both one or more light-emitting polymers and light-emitting molecules is to be employed, these polymers and molecules would be chosen in such a way as to provide for a functional overlap in the respective absorption and emission spectra, so as to provide the desired result. Further, these light-emitting substances are also initially chosen in a similar fashion in order to provide the desired result when combined with the chosen phosphor.
The light-emitting substance-phosphor particle may have a diameter of from about 0.05 microns to about 50 microns. Preferred are particles with a diameter of from about 10 microns to about 40 microns.
Unencapsulated phosphors may be coated with an LEP or LEM, optionally followed by encapsulation with a barrier coating.
The electroluminescent display devices of the instant invention employ organic light-emitting polymer (LEP)-phosphor particles or light-emitting molecule (LEM)-phosphor particles encapsulated with a conductive polymer or thin, insulative polymer to provide LEP and LEM stability. The encapsulated particles may be formulated into an ink system that can be printed to form a light emitting device.
Alternatively, these components may be suitably layered without encapsulation of the particle to achieve the desired result.
U.S. patent application Ser. No. 60/287,321, filed Apr. 30, 2001, for an "Electroluminescent Device Fabricated With Encapsulated Light Emitting Polymer Materials", discloses a system for fabricating an electroluminescent display device from materials including light emitting polymers (LEPs), the disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference.
The present electroluminescent device includes an illumination layer comprising LEP-phosphor particles which have been encapsulated with a conductive polymer or thin, transparent or semi-transparent insulative polymer (for example, polyvinylbutyral, Teflon�, polyethylene, and the like).
LEP-phosphor or LEM-phosphor particles 101 are coated with a conductive polymer (for example, an inherently conductive polymer or ICP) 102 to form an encapsulated particle 103, which is suspended in an polymeric ink binder 114, to form illumination layer 104. Illumination layer 104 is sandwiched between a rear electrode layer 107 (for example, any conductive material including Ag, Mg, Al, Cu, and the like, or carbon or poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PDOT) and the like) and a transparent electrode layer 108 (for example, polyaniline, polypyrrole, indium tin oxide, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and the like). Rear electrode layer 107 is situated on one surface of substrate 101. A front outlining electrode lead (FOEL) 106 is situated on the hole transporting electrode 108. At least one electrode should be transparent for the efficient transmission of the emitted light. Power connection leads (Ag or C) are attached to electron transporting layer 107 and to hole transporting layer 108.
In operation, an AC electrical potential having a frequency of between approximately 50 Hz and 1 Khz is applied across electron transporting layer 107 and hole transporting layer 108 to cause illumination of device 100.
The following Examples are provided in order to further illustrate the present invention.
Phosphor Particle Encapsulation Process:
In Step 205, phosphor particles 101 are prepared by precipitation, spray pyrolysis, spray chilling, and the like. Further reduction in particle size may be achieved by micronizing using an air mill or grinding them to an ultimate particle size of approximately 50 microns or less.
In Step 210, phosphor particles 101 are then coated with a light emitting polymer or light emitting small molecule 102, and optionally, followed by coating with a conductive polymer, or, alternatively, a thin, insulative polymer using a fluidized bed coater. LEPs such as poly(p-phenylene vinylene) or poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] may be used.
In this process, the particles are fluidized in an air or nitrogen stream and LEP material 102 is spray coated onto the particles to form encapsulated particles 103 (LEP-phosphor particles).
In Step 215, a printing ink 104 may then be formulated by mixing the LEP encapsulated phosphor particles and binder polymers, for example, poly(methylmethacrylate) or poly(butylmethacrylate) in a suitable solvent. Other suitable binder polymers may be any suitable thermoplastic, including poly(vinylbutyral), poly(vinylalcohol), poly (vinylchloride), polycarbonate, polystyrene, poly(vinylidene chloride), poly(vinylidene fluoride), poly(acrylonitrile), poly(oxyethylene), cellulose esters, cellulose ethers, nylon 6,6, nylon 12, nylon 6,12, poly(ethylene oxide), poly(ethylene-co-vinylacetate), poly(vinylcarbazole), poly(caprolactone), polysulfone, poly(vinylpyrrolidone), poly(4-vinylphenol), poly(methyloctadecylsiloxane), and the like. Other binder systems that may be employed include systems employing thermosetting resins, for example, systems with urethane and epoxies, as well as UV-curable binder systems.
Functional Stack Printing Process:
In step 220, the rear electrode 107 is printed onto a suitable substrate in the desired pattern or patterns.
In step 225, LEP-phosphor ink layer 104 is printed onto the rear electrode patterns 107.
In step 230, a transparent electrode 108 is printed onto the LEP-phosphor layer 104.
In step 235, the front outlining electrode lead (FOEL) 106 is printed onto the electrode 108. Appropriate connection leads (Ag or C) to rear electrode 107 and FOEL 106 are then printed.
The rear electrode and transparent electrode may be fabricated using conductive polymers to provide a totally polymeric system without metals or metallic compounds.
LEP-phosphor ink matrix may be used as layer 104 in device 100.
Rear electrode 402 is formed of an electrically conductive material, for example, silver or carbon particles. Dielectric layer 403 is formed of high dielectric constant material, such as barium titanate. Illumination layer 404 is formed of LEP-phosphor particles, as described above. Front electrode 406 may be formed of indium tin oxide (ITO), silver particles, or other electrically conductive material.
At step 505, rear electrode 402 is applied over a front surface of substrate 401. In an exemplary embodiment, rear electrode 402 is formed of conductive particles, for example, silver or carbon, dispersed in a polymeric or other binder to form a screen printable ink. In one embodiment, rear electrode 402 may comprise a silver particle ink such as DuPont 7145. Alternatively, rear electrode 402 may comprise a conductive polymer such as polyaniline, polypyrrole, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene). In an exemplary embodiment, a carbon rear electrode 402 may have a thickness of between approximately 0.2 millimeters and 0.6 millimeters. However, any suitable electrode thickness may be employed. It is to be noted that rear electrode layer 402, as well as each of the layers 403–406 that are successively applied in fabricating device 100, may be applied by any appropriate method, including an ink jet process, a stencil, flat coating, brushing, rolling, spraying, etc.
Rear electrode layer 402 may cover the entire substrate 401, but this layer 402 typically covers only the illumination area (the area covered by LEP layer 404, described below).
At step 510, optional dielectric layer 403 is applied over rear electrode layer 402. In an exemplary embodiment, dielectric layer 48 comprises a high dielectric constant material, such as barium titanate dispersed in a polymeric binder to form a screen printable ink. In one embodiment, the dielectric may be an ink, such as DuPont 7153. Dielectric layer 403 may cover substrate 401 either entirely, or may alternatively cover only the illumination area. Alternatively, dielectric layer 403 may include a high dielectric constant material such as alumina oxide dispersed in a polymeric binder. The alumina oxide layer is applied over rear electrode 164 and cured by exposure to UV light. In an exemplary embodiment, dielectric layer 403 may have a thickness of between approximately 20 microns and 31 microns.
In accordance with one embodiment, dielectric layer 403 has substantially the same shape as the illumination area, but extends approximately 1/16″ to ⅛″ beyond the illumination area. Alternatively, dielectric layer 402 may cover substantially all of substrate 401.
At step 515, illumination layer 404 is applied over dielectric layer 403. Illumination layer 404 is formulated in accordance with the process described above with respect to
At step 520, conductive layer 405 is printed over LEP-phosphor particle layer 404, extending about 1/16″ to ⅛″ beyond LEP-phosphor particle area 404. The distance beyond the Illumination layer to which conductive layer 405 extends is a function of the size of the device. Accordingly, the extension of conductive layer 405 beyond Illumination area 404 may advantageously be between approximately 2 percent and 10 percent of the width of Illumination layer 404. In an exemplary embodiment, conductive layer 405 comprises indium tin oxide (ITO) particles in the form of a screen printable ink such as DuPont 7160. In an alternative embodiment, conductive layer is non-metallic and is translucent or transparent, and comprises a conductive polymer, such as polyaniline, polypyrrole, or poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene). In an exemplary embodiment, an ITO conductive layer 405 may have a thickness of between approximately 5 microns and 13 microns.
At step 525, a front electrode, or more specifically, a front outlining electrode layer 406, comprising a conductive material such as silver or carbon, is applied onto the outer perimeter of conductive layer 405 to transport electrical current thereto. Front electrode 406 is typically a 1/16″ to ⅛″ wide strip, approximately 2 percent to 20 percent of the width of conductive layer 405, depending on the current drawn by device 100 and the length of the device from the controller or power source. For example, front electrode 406 may be approximately ⅛″ wide for a 50″ wire run from the controller.
Front electrode leads 525 may be screen printed onto the conductive layer 520, or may be fabricated as interconnect tabs extending beyond the substrate to facilitate connection to a power source or controller. In one embodiment, front outlining electrode layer contacts substantially the entire outer perimeter of the conductive layer and does not overlap rear electrode. In an alternative embodiment, front electrode 406 contacts only about 25% of outer perimeter of conductive layer 405. Front electrode may be fabricated to contact any amount of the outer perimeter of conductive layer 405 from about 25% to about 100%. Front outlining electrode 406 may, for example, comprise silver particles that form a screen-printable ink, such as DuPont 7145. In an alternative embodiment, front outlining electrode 406 is non-metallic and is translucent or transparent, and comprises a conductive polymer, such as polyaniline, polypyrrole, or poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene). Fabricating front and rear electrodes 406/102 with polymers such as the aforementioned compounds would make device 100 more flexible, as well as more durable and corrosion resistant. In an exemplary embodiment, a silver front outlining electrode layer 406 may have a thickness of between approximately 20 microns and 28 microns.

Where did Congress and the Clinton Administration find $1 trillion?
The White House released a new analysis of the Federal budget this week that projected a windfall of more than $1 trillion over the next 15 years on top of the previously anticipated $4.9 trillion cumulative surplus in that time. The Congressional Budget Office then released a similar study that looked at the fiscal picture over shorter periods and closely paralleled the Administration's estimates.
For members of both parties, the news that the surplus was continuing to swell beyond what had been projected just a few months earlier was a little like winning the lottery and then having Ed McMahon show up on the doorstep the next morning with a check from Publishers Clearing House. There is so much money on the table that they do not quite know what to do with it.
Rest assured that they will figure something out.
But it is hard to contemplate the pile without wondering where it came from and whether it is for real.
The answers lie deep in the economy, with factors like business efficiency and the huge gains being generated by Wall Street, and deep in the Government bureaucracy, where teams of analysts make educated guesses about fiscal trends.
Early each year the White House's Office of Management and Budget and the Congressional Budget Office separately produce estimates of what the Government's fiscal condition will be over the subsequent 10 or 15 years, based on their best assessments of how much tax revenue the economy will generate and how much spending current programs will require. Each of them then updates its estimates each summer.Continue reading the main story
The data that go into making the predictions rarely change substantially within a single year. But because the American economy is so big, and because any changes affect the outlook for years to come, even tiny changes can yield huge swings in revenue and spending projections, and therefore in the size of projected surpluses or, until recently, deficits. So algebra, not economics, drove much of the improvement in the new forecasts. Chalk that up to the magic of compound interest taught to every high school student.
Yet on the new projections hang all kinds of policy and political decisions, like how big a tax cut the country can afford and of what kind, how much money is available for education and health care and what can be done to shore up Social Security and Medicare.
The debate over arcane budget matters is so intense, said Rudolph G. Penner, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office, because ''adjustments that are small to professional economists can have immense political importance.''
Take the most recent round of changes included in the Administration's economic forecast. They seem technical, even arcane, and their link to Federal budget surpluses might seem tenuous. But they get at some fundamental improvements in the American economy and its ability to create the jobs and profits that generate tax revenues. They include an increase in the Administration's estimate of growth in productivity, or how much each worker can produce in a given period. When productivity improves, so does the economy's ability to expand without inflation -- and therefore to generate a steady increase in tax revenues.
In its new analysis, the Administration estimated that productivity growth would be 1.6 percent annually through 2002, up from 1.3 percent in the analysis it prepared in February. Over the longer run, it estimated that productivity growth would slow somewhat, to 1.4 percent annually, a figure that is still higher than its previous long-range estimate of 1.3 percent annually. The Congressional Budget Office made similar increases in its productivity estimates.
The growth in productivity also helped fuel the Administration's new estimates of economic growth. From this year through 2004, the Administration is estimating the economy will expand by an annual average of 2.5 percent, up from 2.2 percent in the Administration's last budget analysis in February. Moreover, the economy is already bigger at this point than the Administration or Congress had predicted early this year.
There is a hint of how the changing economy affects revenues -- and where the flood of new money is coming from -- in the experience of the last few years. Most of the surge in revenues is coming from individual income taxes. For next year, for example, the Administration now expects individual tax receipts to total $921 billion, up more than $21 billion since the February estimate. Corporate income tax receipts are expected to come in somewhat lower than previously anticipated, reflecting slower profit growth.
One reason the individual tax take is rising is that more people are working, and wages are rising at a healthy pace. But part of the growth in individual income tax receipts stems directly or indirectly from the long bull market on Wall Street. Individuals are reaping substantial capital gains, and more and more people are being compensated with stock or in ways that reflect the performance of their employers' shares.
The effect of the rising stock market can be clearly seen in receipts from inheritance taxes levied on estates, many of which contain big holdings of stocks and bonds that have appreciated in value tremendously in recent years. The Administration estimated that estate and gift tax revenue next year would be $31.4 billion, up from $27 billion in its February estimate.
As for the accuracy of the surplus projections, there are two issues: whether Congress or the Administration is slanting its estimates for political reasons and whether even the best nonpartisan economists can predict fiscal results even a year ahead, much less a decade or more.
Both parties present the figures in ways that advance their agendas. President Clinton has introduced 15-year projections this year in part so he can allocate tax revenues from the distant horizon to deal with long-term problems like Social Security while leaving money available to deal with other issues sooner. Before this year, no one had tried anything longer than a 10-year forecast.
But because there are two competing sets of projections, neither the Administration nor Congress could tinker much with its projections and get away with it. In fact, they often come up with remarkably similar results; their forecasts this week for the cumulative 10-year surplus were within $20 billion of each other, a tiny rounding error.
That is not to say, however, that either of them is likely to be correct. Their long-term forecasts have proved to be wildly inaccurate, and even their short-term forecasts often prove to be off by tens of billions of dollars. Three months ago, the Congressional Budget Office predicted a Government surplus of $111 billion this year. It recently increased the estimate to $120 billion.
So no one can count on the projections. Still, the Administration and the Congressional Budget Office can claim that their assumptions and projections are reasonable, which may be as good as it gets for the purpose of policy decisions whose implications play out over decades.Continue reading the main story

ICA, YoungArts Collaborate to Bring Dance Master Michael Clark to Miami
Dancer Harry Alexander

Around the nation tonight, Americans will continue to grapple with political division and unrest. But inside the Jewel Box at the National YoungArts Foundation, dancers and audiences will celebrate a unique collaboration of creative forces, with local and international arts groups coming together to create a uniquely Miamian masterpiece.
This evening marks the beginning of the Michael Clark Company's monthlong residency in collaboration with the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), Miami. Just last December, the new modern art museum launched the series ICA Performs, an annual collaborative series that highlights multidisciplinary works among creatives in different fields. The inaugural performances featured Los Angeles-based artist Erika Vogt and Performa 15, an artistic collective dedicated to commissioning and producing live performances for the 21st Century; this year's series features an adaptive new work by Scottish choreographer Michael Clark.
The Michael Clark Company, founded in 1984 by the progressive British dancer and choreographer, is one of the foremost leaders in modern dance. Clark, who has performed and shown his works internationally, visited Miami only twice for location scouting before committing to this performance. But once he found the perfect setting within the National YoungArts Foundation's stained-glassed Jewel Box theater, Clark says, he knew it was the place for his United States debut, which begins tonight and runs through next Monday.
Yet it was ICA Miami that initiated the relationship with the Michael Clark Company. As Alex Gartenfeld, chief curator and deputy director of ICA explains, the series aims to find not only "new scholarships and new commissions and highlight new commissions in Miami, but also to highlight international talent that we feel is in dialogue with this community."
Furthering the three-part collaboration, Gartenfeld says, YoungArts' mission of nurturing young artists in visual, literary, design, and performance fields falls directly in line with "Michael's sensitivity to his young dancers, as well as our museum's sense of intergenerational dialogue and context."
As a result, ICA Performs: Michael Clark Company will feature both new and reworked elements specifically formatted for the intricacies of the Jewel Box and the diversity of Miami's audiences. Clark himself describes the venue as both "an amazing space" and "an unusual space," a stage that enables him to emphasize the duality of "what you can see and what you can't see."
Parts of the reprised works come from the company's recent performance at London's Barbican Centre. Those shows highlighted contemporary dance set to works by French avant-garde composer Erik Satie, David Bowie, and Patti Smith, and the Miami shows will feature the selections set to Smith's "Land" from her 1975 debut album, Horses. Those performances also included multimedia projected onto screens that will be adapted for YoungArts' kaleidoscopic setting.
Additionally, the newly composed elements take inspiration from Miami's colorful and fertile natural surroundings.
"The nature of the way things are here, the way things grow here, that had some influence on the choreography in terms of it becoming more decorative," Clark says, "or more extravagant."

He continues, "It's the opposite of where I come from in Scotland. It's quite barren and white, cold, and gray. Miami is kind of the opposite!"

Although Clark himself slyly evades further descriptions of the performance, dancers who have previously worked with the beloved choreographer offer insight. Brittany Baily, who was the YoungArts winner in dance in 2008, worked with the Michael Clark Company at the Tate Modern in London in 2011.
The New York-based dancer happened to be in Miami last week to participate in the YoungArts Salon Series discussion with Clark, as well as further her own solo project, Shape Dance. Baily, who has studied with Merce Cunningham and performed as part of Marina Abramovic's retrospective The Artist Is Present at New York City's Museum of Modern Art, emphasizes Clark's spontaneity.
"He's completely unpredictable in a graceful way," she says. "I think that he finds value in keeping some degree of uncertainty in the work — not just for the people viewing the work, but also for the people performing the work."
Still, all three moving pieces that brought this series to fruition — ICA Miami, YoungArts, and the Michael Clark Company — seem to share the same ideas and values of dance and interdisciplinary live performance. As Baily summarizes: "I think we believe in the same thing, in that we love dance. We love dance as a means of communicating with larger audiences and as a personal practice... We understand how we can help one another continue to inspire and express and figure out what it means to use alternative languages for ourselves and how to connect with others."

Sheen told TMZ that he expects "nothing but the recovery" of O'Neal, who was one of the grill the actor in the comedy central special last month.
O'Neal "is a gentle giant, a brilliant comedian and a noble kind," he said. "We wish nothing but the recovery, healing and laughter."
The announcement on stroke O'Neal was made on Wednesday by fellow comedians Jim Norton, Colin Quinn, Robert Kelly, Rich Vos and Keith Robinson on the Opie & Anthony radio show, in which O'Neal has made numerous appearances.
"We are all here to let people know that one of our friends very, very well became ill, fell ill … Patrice O'Neal had a stroke," Kelly told the audience.
O'Neal's status is unclear, said Norton.
"We know what it is too early to tell," he said. "Anyone who knows of hits, takes time, sometimes just do not know. We do not know how it will be."
Meanwhile, Opie & Anthony show posted a statement on its Facebook page.
"Our good friend Patrice O'Neal suffered a stroke last week," he said. "Please respect his family and his request for privacy. An email has been created for fans to send him good wishes and your family will ensure that everybody gets them.
The news was kept secret at the request of the O'Neal family, but decided to go public after the word began to spread among fellow comedians O'Neal.
O'Neal was not just a toaster in the case of Sheen, but also the target of several jokes about their health problems, including diabetes and weight.
Amy Schumer joked that "Patrice has always been destined for stardom, and diabetes. So tonight is not only the meat of Charlie Sheen, is also a farewell party for Patrice's foot."
Sheen joked: "The only thing slower than the delivery [Anthony Jeselnik] is the metabolism of Patrice O'Neal When I first saw Patrice in this scenario, I thought the same thing we all did:. Why is the mother Mike Tyson is here? "
O'Neal is defended in the event, saying, "How the f — I can be too much to say after all this sht I can not believe I'm dying of diabetes and bstrds are like, 'Oh. That fat fcking evil. "
O'Neal has also appeared on NBC's The Office and weekly countdown show video viral VH1 Web Junk 20.

'In February and March 1958, Hilton's first retrospective was mounted at the ICA. For the first time, the mature artistic nature of Hilton was on public display, in a powerful selection of works ... The exhibition was a serious and important event which led to the Tate buying its first work by the artist, January 1957 ... The anonymous critic of The Times identified "the large, ragged shapes, the rich, earthy colour, and the broad handling which have remained consistent characteristics of his present manner". The review goes on to state that Hilton's paintings inspire confidence. "They remain essentially simple arrangements without looking empty, and their abstraction retains innuendos of shallow space and of properties that one might associate with dark landscapes which had been rolled flat ... when the handling becomes broader and more free, it is the trail of an errant line across the lumbering shapes of black, orange, or brown which gives the painting its characteristic allusiveness to things not altogether abstract"' (see A. Lambirth, Roger Hilton, The Figured Language of Thought, London, 2007, pp. 125-126).
'Later that year, in July 1958, David Sylvester selected Hilton to feature in his Critic's Choice exhibition at Tooth's Gallery.

Hilton was represented by four recent canvases' (op. cit.. p. 129).

Lumension® provides protection from malware, zero-day and targeted attacks against your
WinXP systems.
Microsoft® has stopped providing security patches for Windows XP – and for Office 2003 too. If your organization has not migrated off WinXP – for whatever reason – your systems are increasingly vulnerable to malware, zero-day and targeted attacks. Here are some steps you need to take to reduce those WinXP system risks.
Protect against unintended or malicious system-wide changes by enforcing standard user accounts and other security configuration settings.
Don't compound the problem by leaving vulnerabilities in 3rd party applications unpatched.
Guard against malware propagated by USB sticks and installation of rogue devices with device and port control.
Defend against the inevitable zero-days due to unpatched WinXP vulnerabilities with application whitelisting.
Microsoft Windows XP reached end-of-support in April 2014. The typical OS migration takes 18 months, and involves considerable planning, effort and cost. Organizations can reduce the cost and stress of a hurried migration by using Lumension security solutions to prevent malware, zero-day and targeted attacks, without impacting productivity.
Perhaps the best way to reduce the cost and stress associated with a hurried migration is to use application whitelisting to control what executables can run on your WinXP systems.

Quinn Must Publicly Disclose Any New Campaign Donations by Union Leadership
Republican Gubernatorial candidate Bill Brady today asked members of a prominent Chicago business organization to help Illinois stop Governor Pat Quinn's questionable, eleventh hour deal limiting the state's options for solving its fiscal crisis and record unemployment levels.
"It smacks of the same pay-to-play that Illinois citizens are so tired of," Brady said.
Brady told members of the Civic Federation that the timing of the controversial deal with AFSCME leadership raised serious ethical questions, and said the Governor should immediately reveal any campaign contributions received by the union.
"Pat Quinn's record of questionable campaign contributions and deal making requires that he immediately disclose to the public any new campaign contributions from the same AFCME leaders with whom he's negotiating this eleventh-hour agreement," Brady said.
Quinn refused to disclose the information when asked by reporters on Thursday. Public records show Quinn has received $75,000 from the union in recent years. Additional contributions are expected following the endorsement.
"Signing an agreement with union leaders to lock in state pay hikes and job guarantees knowing that union leaders are potentially filling up his political campaign coffers shows Pat Quinn is no different from the same political insiders he once protested.
"Unfortunately, this is part of a disturbing pattern from Pat Quinn, a pattern he probably learned at the foot of the insider deal master, Rod Blagojevich," Brady said. "If Pat Quinn signs this questionable agreement, there should be an investigation."
Reports earlier this week revealed that Quinn's office and AFSCME, the state's largest employee union, struck a deal at almost the same time the union endorsed the governor's election bid.
Quinn brought State Budget Director David Vaught into the meetings, a move one watchdog group said, "blurs the line" between politics and government. The 2-year deal calls for state buildings to remain open and no layoffs to take effect in exchange for promises of some future budget cuts. It has been called "outrageous" and denounced by newspaper editorial boards across the state.
This spring, serious questions were raised about Quinn's veto against McCormick Place reforms while receiving $75,000 in campaign contributions from connected unions.
Brady (R-Bloomington) is a small business owner who has represented his community as state Senator since 2002. He is running for governor to bring a clean break to Illinois and build a job-growing environment. More information can be found at www.bradyforillinois.com.

All of our agents #'s are showing up as Blocked or Private instead of the toll free # that is configured as their CID under their handset configuration. Spoke with PAETEC and they said it was something on our end. I have looked all over and can not figure this out. We are using an Allworx 24x with roughly under 100 ppl.

Are you allowed to spoof the caller ID? Most telco's only let you send CID for numbers associated with that line/trunk.
Jun 6, 2012 at 8:06 UTC
We are not spoofing our caller ID, we pay for the toll free number along with others.
Jun 6, 2012 at 11:33 UTC
Communication Group is an IT service provider.
Spoof doesn't mean you aren't paying... it means you are sending digits from the PBX for the carrier to put through as your outbound caller ID. I have had issues with Paetec personally not letting me send DIDs from individual desk phones as well, so it may in fact be a Paetec issue.
Jun 7, 2012 at 3:46 UTC
Also, ask your carrier if they are expecting you to send them 10 digits (and make sure they do). I had an issue once where the carrier was, for whatever insane reason, expecting me to send 4 digits from my PBX for CID and it was failing because I was sending the entire phone number.
Jun 7, 2012 at 11:00 UTC
From what I've seen, most 800 numbers actually just forward to standard phone numbers via the telco (i.e. 1-800-COMPANY forwards to the company's main line 555-123-4567). So unless that 800 number is truly tied to your outgoing trunk you usually can't send those digits as your caller ID.

Carolina Football
North Carolina accepted an invitation today to play in the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tenn., and will play Tennessee for the first time 49 years. The game will be played on Dec. 30 at 6:30 p.m. UNC is 7-5 in its fourth season under Coach Butch Davis, and Tennessee finished 6-6 in its first season under Coach Derek Dooley.
UNC to play Tennessee for first time in 49 years
The Winston-Salem Journal
As expected, North Carolina accepted an invitation Sunday to play Tennessee in the Music City bowl in Nashville at LP Field, home of the Tennessee Titans, on Dec. 30 (6:30 p.m., ESPN).
It's the third straight season the Tar Heels are playing in a bowl game, the longest stretch since 1992-98, and it's first meeting between the schools since 1961, which the Vols won 22-21.
No surprises in postseason pairings
The Durham Herald-Sun
This time, it's a role reversal for North Carolina with its bowl assignment.
After playing in their home state the past two years, the Tar Heels will go to the Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tenn., to face Tennessee.
The bowl will be played at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 30 at LP Field, which is the NFL stadium used by the Tennessee Titans.
Tar Heels head to Music City Bowl
The Burlington Times-News
North Carolina and Tennessee will meet on the football field after all.
The Tar Heels accepted a spot against the Volunteers in the Music City Bowl on Dec.30 (6:30 p.m., ESPN) in Nashville, Tenn.
The Tar Heels and Vols had previously agreed to meet in 2011 and 2012, but Tennessee athletics director Mike Hamilton canceled the series.
Tar Heels to face Vols in Music City Bowl
The Charlotte Observer
Just four months after Tennessee canceled a contract to play North Carolina in 2011, the teams will meet this month in Nashville.
UT and North Carolina each accepted an invitation Sunday to play in the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl. The game will be played at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 30 at LP Field. Both schools will make their first appearance in the bowl game.
Music City Bowl revives canceled Tennessee, North Carolina series
The Nashville Tennessean
Tennessee wasn't really running away from North Carolina.
Turns out UT couldn't hide from it in the first place.
Months after the Vols bought out a scheduled series with the Tar Heels that was slated to start next season, the Music City Bowl arranged a meeting for them anyway, ending a wild weekend of speculation by officially extending invitations to both on Sunday afternoon. And with the two programs unable to figure out a way to keep each other on the docket by themselves, the committee in Nashville was more than happy to mediate and bring them together at LP Field on Dec. 30 (TV: ESPN, 6:30 p.m.).

I am looking to start selling an MSP type package to some of my larger clients. Spiceworks is going to be one of the core softwares to get this accomplished.
I am looking for a very small form factor PC I can install this and 1 other small softwares on, to run in my clients locations.
I will buy the PC's myself then charge the client monthly for the service. Within a few months, the PC's will be paid for and the rest of the time they are running they are generating profit plus more billable time.
I can buy refurbished mid size form factors like http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6632015&CatId=5139 for $200. For another $75 bucks, I could max the emory to 4GB and have a decent solid PC for this task.
What I would like to do though, is buy a really small form factor PC (about the size of a home router) new, and use them. They cost more out the gate, but are smaller, create much less heat, use less power, and should last longer than a refurb. I am referring to the PC's that are running the ATOM processor with 2GB DDR3 like http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6426574&CatId=4926 (the memory would be upped to 2GB which is max and running XP) or maybe http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6288761&CatId=4925 (which is maxed on memory but has Windows 7).
Does anyone have any experience using ATOM processors or smaller form factor PC's like these?

Selective CDK9 inhibition overcomes TRAIL resistance in NSCLC
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) can induce apoptosis in cancer cells without causing toxicity in vivo. However, to date TRAIL-receptor agonists have shown only limited therapeutic benefit in clinical trials. This can, most likely, be attributed to the fact that most primary human cancers are TRAIL-resistant. Hence, future TRAIL-based therapies will require the addition of sensitizing agents that remove crucial blocks in the TRAIL apoptosis pathway.
PIK-75 strongly sensitises cancer cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis independently of inhibition of p110?. We performed a kinome-wide screen to identify which kinases were inhibited by PIK-75. To evaluate which of the 27 kinases inhibited was responsible for PIK-75-mediated sensitization to TRAIL-induced apoptosis, we screened all 27 kinases identified by siRNA knockdown. We next assessed the potency of SNS-032 (the clinically used inhibitor of CDK9) and TRAIL combination in vitro in a panel of NSCLC cell lines and in vivo using an orthotopic model of lung cancer.
We identified CDK9, a PIK-75-target, to be responsible for TRAIL resistance of cancer cells. The combination of CDK9 inhibition with TRAIL effectively induced apoptosis even in highly TRAIL-resistant cancer cells. Mechanistically, CDK9 inhibition resulted in the downregulation of cFlip and Mcl-1, at both the mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, we found that a panel of mostly TRAIL-resistant NSCLC cell lines was readily killed by the combination of TRAIL and SNS-032, even at low concentrations of TRAIL. Importantly, primary human hepatocytes did not succumb to the same treatment regime, defining a therapeutic window for the combination of TRAIL with CDK9 inhibitors. Importantly, the combination of SNS-032 and TRAIL was also highly effective in vivo and led to eradication of established orthotopic NSCLC tumors.
Based on the high potency of CDK9 inhibition as a cancer cell-selective TRAIL-sensitizing strategy, we envisage the development of new, highly effective cancer therapies.
We would like to gratefully acknowledge Theo Giannopoulos and Susanne Booth at Castle Hill Hospital for their help in acquiring ovarian tissue samples, and Jane Smales for coordinating the clinical aspects of the study. This study is funded by a grant from NC3Rs (Registry File: G1100600).

Pats have new alternates … The old ones
The Patriots kinda slipped the news out, bit by bit, on their Twitter feed …
And now I think there's enough info up there to put it out there — The Patriots' new alternate jersey will be the uniforms they wore during the 1985 season. (See Grogan on the right? Not sure if that was '85 or not, but every pic I was sure of had a Bear blowing a Patriot up. And those are the same jerseys, so I went with it.)
Yup, helmets and everything.
The Patriots wore silver throwbacks through the 2008 season, after which they scrapped those, which looked a little like dirty versions of their road whites. Last year, of course, they wore the 1960s throwbacks as part of the AFL anniversary celebration. And now we're back to the 1985s.
And now I'm back to getting on free agency.

Political Engagement
Enduring Norms to Guide Millennials
Editors' Note: This article is part of a Public Square conversation on Political Engagement. Read other perspectives here.
In recent weeks, the public reflections by three leading Christian spokesmen—each at different stations in life and with differing proximities to political power from a decade ago—have prompted good reason to reconsider how as Christian citizens we ought to engage with the public square. What norms should guide this engagement?
Consider their reflections. Billy Graham reports that, if there were one thing he could go back and do differently, "I ... would have steered clear of politics." Pope Francis has suggested that, in today's contentious cultural climate, the Catholic Church must find a "new balance" between its spiritual and political missions, lest its moral foundation "fall like a house of cards." And Russell Moore says today's church leaders should focus on being "winsome, kind, and empathetic," realizing that although "we are involved in the political process, we must always be wary of being co-opted by it."
There are insights in each of these claims, each coming from leaders of tremendous influence. But what enduring norms should guide Millennials who want to be Christians first and citizens second—and yet take seriously the amazing privilege of shaping our nation's future? The question is often about how hard to strive, how to tilt public policy or an election in one direction rather than another.
Today's college grads should think in terms of a decades-long engagement with civic and political life, even if it often seems broken. What principles can guide the way?
Here are five suggestions:
1) It depends in part upon your calling. If God gives you a passion for public life, elections, and policymaking, this is a clue. We sorely need wise, godly public engagement—especially when so many people in the policy arena fail to see value in life beyond politics (family, church, and civil society), or fail to perceive the reality of the future kingdom, as Rev. Graham reminds us.
2) To vote well, we need to be informed about the issues shaping our future. In America today we face unprecedented federal debt and entitlement liabilities. A fundamental divide exists between statist and civil society approaches to poverty. Millions of Americans differ on the social issues—especially life, marriage, and religious liberty. Christians need to think through these issues carefully, and consider how their vote impacts real people over time.

Born to a barmaid, Violet and her conjoined twin sister Daisy Hilton were raised by the midwife who delivered them. This woman, Mary Hilton, saw her meal ticket in the curly-haired babies and trained them to perform. The girls were ill-treated and kept in a state of poverty until they arranged a private meeting with a lawyer at the age of 23. They then became their own managers and remained popular vaudeville performers until live shows were replaced by motion pictures. After performing in Freaks (1932) and Chained for Life (1952), Violet and Daisy fell into poverty and obscurity.

Kolkata: Former Pakistan captain Asif Iqbal has said his country has a good chance of winning the forthcoming World Cup as the team has a lot of talent though it lacks the consistency.
"Pakistan has always been unpredictable. Sometimes it plays outstanding cricket, sometimes it doesn't. But I think it has a good chance of winning the World Cup," Iqbal told reporters on Thursday. Iqbal, known to be one of the shrewdest captains of Pakistan, said the current team had a lot of potential and the youngsters had started delivering the goods, which augured well for Pakistani cricket. "What the team needs to do is maintain its high standard at all times. The players have to be consistent to be able to succeed at the highest level. They have to work on this area," the former captain pointed out.
Iqbal said that the International Cricket Council's (ICC) decision to stage a Test series in Sharjah will dispel all doubts about match-fixing and betting activities associated with the venue. "This decision will put at rest all personal jealousies and allegations. If everything was not okay, the ICC would never have granted permission for the Test series to get underway there," he said. The ICC shifted the two-match Test series between Pakistan and West Indies to Sharjah after West Indies refused to tour Pakistan in view of the security threats.
Iqbal said that he was personally happy that Sharjah has been given the chance to host a Test series. "Although I am no longer connected with the CBFS, I am happy that it has got this opportunity." On whether he agreed that the present security scenario in the sub-continent was not conducive to play cricket, Iqbal said, "I am not in a position to comment on that. But some teams may not feel safe to tour the sub-continent at the moment."
The former Pakistan captain, who is on a private visit to the city, dropped in at the Eden Gardens in the afternoon and watched the Ranji Trophy quarter final match between Bengal and Gujarat for some time. "The Eden has special memories for me since I retired at this very ground. The facilities have improved a lot now. It has always been a pleasure of playing and watching cricket at the Eden," he said. On whether he saw the possibility of India and Pakistan playing in the near future, Iqbal evaded an answer, saying, "I can't say about that."

Enrolled nurses work under the direction and delegation of a registered nurse, on a variety of health and disability settings. This programme provides theory and hands-on experience to develop the skills required to become an enrolled nurse. LEVEL 5
The New Zealand Diploma of Enrolled Nursing is an 18 month full time programme, approved by Nursing Council of New Zealand, which prepares students to become an Enrolled Nurse. The Diploma is a combination of theory (classroom based sessions at the Whitireia Porirua campus) and supported clinical experience (practical/hands-on work, which is completed in a variety of community and hospital settings).
Enrolled Nurses assist registered nurses to deliver nursing care to individuals in community, residential and hospital settings. Enrolled Nurses contribute to nursing assessment, care planning, implementation and evaluation, but the registered nurse remains responsible overall.
The Enrolled Nurse performs delegated interventions from the nursing care plan to:

Approximation formulas are derived for small spherical aerosols (r < λ) by using the series expansion of the exact solution (Mie theory). The first three terms of the series are given for real, complex, and infinite indices of refraction. The new formulas allow for computing the scattering and absorption coefficients for small aerosols more simply and faster than the Mie formulas. The error of our approximation formulas is determined, and it is found that the useful size range is extended by about a factor 2.

Project 365 #45Monday, February 21st, 2011
A lot of professional photographers talk about making mistakes when they first get into this business. They talk about making mistake after mistake and to never stop shooting because it's the only way to learn and get better. Well I've had my fair share of mistakes back when I started shooting and one major screw up the other day.
While shooting in a dark comedy club for a client, I didn't make sure to attach a lens to my camera correctly. My camera wasn't focusing correctly so I went outside to get a better look. About a minute later it fell off. Well it's a very expensive lens so I just froze when it happened. When I finally picked it up after pretty much letting it bounce around on concrete I noticed a big dent on one end and some scratches on the other. I hadn't even been shooting for more than 20 minutes. I picked up the lens put it on the camera and it seemed to work. I just wanted to finish shooting and go home to see how much damage there really was. The lens seemed to work fine for the rest of the night so I didn't think much of it until the next day.
When I finally got a good look at all the damage the next morning, all I could think of was how much it was going to cost to fix. I didn't want to call Canon because it takes too long to send away and fix so I called a local camera store; Kenmore Camera. They referred me to another local camera repair shop to get a quote and maybe even fix it. I decided to give them a try first since I really had nothing to lose at this point.
The Camera Clinic, a shop in Shoreline, WA. gave me a quote and said not to worry about my lens, they could fix it, they just needed a few days. I can't wait to get it back and I'm very happy to know that it's still in good condition. I'm not trying to push Canon products but they make great gear that can take a beating. I just don't encourage it.
While I was in the shop I noticed that they sold used lenses. I don't NEED anything but I had been thinking about getting a new macro lens to get up close and shoot the fine details of food and pretty much anything else. Well just my luck, they had a 100mm Macro 2.8 Canon lens for a very good price. The lens' auto focus wasn't functioning anymore and needed about $300 in repairs to fix the auto focus. When shooting with a macro lens though, you really don't need the auto focus as much because you really need to fine tune your focusing point for every shot. So I bought it!
So I'm looking at my situation; not a mistake but a learning experience. Always make sure to attach your lenses correctly, always check your local camera repair shops first, and stick around long enough to see what's for sale…
So I got a new toy!!! Here are the first two photos I need some practice but they're still cool.

Lately Ozzy hasn't been too excited to eat breakfast or dinner. A couple years ago he made sure to never miss a meal. He even tricked me into feeding him at lunch. Well, the other day I came home for lunch and as I walked in I noticed that Ozzy was sittin' by the kitchen staring at something. At first I thought he was sitting in front of the heater like he usually does. But as I turned the corner into the kitchen I saw this…
I'm sorry for the grainy photo but this is the only camera I had on me. Ozzy had been fed in the morning and instead of eating his breakfast, he tipped over his bowl and just sat there staring at it. As I pulled out my camera he looked back at me with this look like, "Yeah, I did that, what?" What was I supposed to do but take a picture. I'm not falling for this. He's so picky!!!
