Luke Bryan Crashes a Baby Shower in Hysterical ACMs Video [Watch]
It looks like Luke Bryan is crashing all sorts of parties in his run for 2014 ACM Awards Entertainer of the Year -- even baby showers!
It looks like Luke Bryan is crashing all sorts of parties in his run for 2014 ACM Awards Entertainer of the Year -- even baby showers!
The ACM Awards are less than a month away now, and CBS is getting ready for the big show with some pretty funny promos. They star co-hosts Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan who are back for their second year as hosts. But it's the cameos that make the promos so funny.
The lineup for the 2014 CMA Music Festival has been announced, and as expected, a slew of big artists are slated to perform during the event.
March is for March Madness ... and country music. Some of country's biggest stars are debuting brand spankin' new songs on radio for March 2014, making for a very exciting start to spring.
Luke Bryan has proof that he's not the only one who loves Spring Break -- it's very popular! The country star's sixth vacation EP 'Spring Break 6 ... Like We Ain't Ever' has debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Country Albums chart.
Country fans, get ready. Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton are getting ready to co-host the 2014 ACMs, and judging from these new promos, it's going to be a knee-slapping kind of night.
During his Houston Livestock Show + Rodeo performance, Luke Bryan covered the George Strait hit "Unwound." As Bryan proclaimed, "You can't come to Texas without playing a little George Strait."
Luke Bryan brought his first ultimate spring break concert of the year to 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' ... sort of. The talk show host and her guests didn't get to feel the sand between their toes or party in their bikinis, but they did get to hear Bryan perform.
Luke Bryan's sixth spring break EP isn't so much a party album as it is a project for short-term lovers. Bryan explores the romantic side of spring break during 'Like We Ain't Ever.' In many ways it's an extension of the songs on 'Crash My Party.'
Luke Bryan has his finger on the pulse of Country America and he's not about to remove it. 'Play It Again' casts the singer as a lucky-in-love country boy doing everything he can to not let his girl see she could probably do better.
Bluke is back this year to host the ACM Awards in four weeks in Vegas. But, it seems that they think the show is a little more about them.
Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard of red-hot country duo Florida Georgia Line take their 'This Is How We Roll' video to a whole new level by partying on top of a semi truck.

Nice place to stayPosted May 11, 2014
Pros: Bed was comfy, bathroom basic but OK & good heating.
Cons: No chairs in the room. People who can't park properly causing only 2 cars to fit in 3 spots.
Location: Walking distance to town centre & restaurants. The Brown Pub serves up a great baked dinner & the Old Post Office is an excellent restaurant.
Close to other facililities in Methven, staff very friendly & helpful, which is what you want.

Pros: Centrally situated. Good kitchen facilities Very comfortable bed. Spacious living and dining room
Cons: The unfriendly attitude of the [male] proprietor when asked to help us get the television to work. The lighting in the lodge is abysmal. No heater.
We received a warm welcome from the female proprietor. The lodge is spacious, comfortable and clean (except for the windows). The lighting, except in the bathroom, is abysmal. There needs to be a small electric heater available for use in the sitting room on a cool summer's evening. We did not want nor need the heat of the log-burner for an hour of television watching.

Good value for the slopesPosted Aug 16, 2013 on Hotels.com
Good stay in a very simple room with basic amenities. Shared lounge has a nice fireplace and morning breakfast is very limited and not included - we found that out on checkout when charged extra per brekkie per person.

Abisko Lodge motel rooms leave a lot to be desiredPosted Jan 20, 2013 on Hotels.com
Dark, drab and dated would describe the decor of the motel room allocated to us for 2 nights, and the "guest kitchen and laundry" were in another building which serves the camping ground and caravan park and were extremely basic, so not at all what we expected. Fortunately we were able to upgrade to an apartment which was very well appointed and very comfortable, hence the "very satisfied" rating on those questions. Methven in summer was disappointing - we were hoping for a "Thredbo Village" type of experience but Mt Hutt is 15km away down a gravel road.

Details on Industry Insight.
The more we talk to snowboard shops, the more we keep hearing about the Airblaster brand and its popular Ninja Suit.
So I stopped by the Airblaster booth at SIA to find out more.
Jesse Grandkoski, one of the founding partners of Airblaster, gave me all details about the company, including the big plans for the Ninja.
Airblaster, based in Portland, was founded in 2002 by Grandkoski, pro snowboarder Travis Parker and graphic designer Paul Miller. The three were avid snowboarders who saw kids increasingly seduced by images being marketed to them: snowboarders as super tough, dressed all in black, ultra competitive, and of course never falling while doing tricks.
The Airblaster founders saw snowboarding differently. For them, it was about having fun with your friends and helping each other progress.
"It's about total freedom with friends," Jesse said.
So the three decided to start their own brand that would just be about having fun. One of their first products was a brightly colored leash with the Airblaster logo, which stood out in the black apparel landscape of the time.
"It was kind of goofy and it you were wearing it, it symbolized you didn't take yourself too seriously," he said.
Travis Parker put in the initial money to get the company started, and Airblaster eventually expanded into outerwear. Two other partners, Tyler Scharpf and Jonas Lea, joined the company.
Now, Airblaster makes approximately 25 pieces of outerwear, accessories such as sunglasses, goggles, hats and leashes, and some T's and fleece.
But its most popular product is the Ninja Suit, which it developed five years ago.
(Right: Pro snowboarder Tim Eddy models the Ninja Suit.)
The Ninja Suit is one piece, full-bodied long underwear with a scuba hood. The idea is that because it is one piece, warmth does not escape from the midsection and neck area. And, snow does not go down your pants if you fall.
With most of Airblaster's outwear, the appeal is part function and part fun. With the Ninja, Jesse said it sells on function alone.
That's why some brands have copied the style, which lets Airblaster know it's on the right track, Jesse said. And it's why Airblaster has big plans to take the Ninja beyond snowboard specialty stores.
"We feel anybody who does fall or winter sports should have one," Jesse said. "It will make your life better."
Airblaster is getting ready to approach larger retailers with the Ninja, but is first coming up with a merchandising system. Jesse said when the Ninja simply dangles from a hanger it doesn't look that great.
(Right: Airblaster outerwear.)
"We think (the Ninja Suit) can make outdoor retailers a lot of money in the next five years," he said.
Airblaster is in the process of protecting the Ninja Suit name, and now offers four different styles ranging in price from $80 to $180 depending on the fit and fabric.
Last year, Airblaster's revenues totaled $2.3 million and it uses 15 reps to sell in the U.S. and Canada and 12 distributors world wide.
The company is financing production with revolving loans from family and the hope is with its growth, Airblaster will be able to get bank financing soon. In 2009, revenues grew 30%.
The operation is lean – five people work in-house – and the owners are constantly weighing the costs and benefits of bringing on new employees to exploit opportunities vs. keeping overhead low.
The three founding partners didn't have any business experience when Airblaster started, and I asked Jesse how he likes managing a company.
"It's exhausting," he said. "We are competing against giants."
But the team also sees a lot of opportunity.
"We've got a couple of gems," he said. "Hopefully we can capitalize on them before someone else does."

THURSDAY, March 20, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Obese women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) might need a stronger dose of a certain medication to improve their chances of getting pregnant, new research suggests.
In IVF, sperm is mixed with an egg outside a woman's body and the resulting embryo is then transferred into the uterus. Harvesting as many eggs as possible helps improve the chances that IVF will be successful.
During egg collection, women are given a medication called GnRH antagonist to prevent ovulation from starting too early and ruining the egg harvest, explained the authors of the study published March 20 in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
"If the GnRH antagonist clears from a woman's body too quickly, there is a risk that the brain will signal the body to discharge the eggs from the ovaries too early," Dr. Nanette Santoro, of the University of Colorado at Denver, said in a news release from the Endocrine Society.
"We were surprised to find obese women were more likely to experience this, and it may be one reason why overweight and obese women have a higher rate of unsuccessful IVF cycles than normal-weight women do," she explained.
Santoro and colleagues gave GnRH antagonist to 10 obese and 10 normal-weight women and monitored them for 14 hours. The drug was cleared from the obese women faster than from the normal-weight women.
The researchers also found that during the monitoring period, half of the obese women had a rebound of a hormone that causes the body to release eggs.
"Our findings indicate obese women may need a different or increased dosing regimen to improve fertility treatment outcomes," Santoro said. "Given the cost of IVF and stress of infertility, it is important to maximize each woman's chances of conceiving a child."

The 2012 James Beard award semifinalists were just announced, and Los Angeles was honored many times over.
Among the well-established powerhouses, Patina, Lucques and Providence all have multiple nominations, while chefs Suzanne Goin and Nancy Silverton are both up for the "Outstanding Chef" award.
But it's the "Rising Star Chef" category that've got us excited. 5 out of the 31 new toque nominations are from the Los Angeles area. Up-and-coming restaurants Picca and MB Post have been nominated for "Best New Restaurant."
5 finalists in each category will be announced on March 15, and the winners on May 7 at the annual Awards Ceremony. That means you've still got a little more time to snag a table at the nominated restaurants; after the awards, it'll be near impossible.
Check out all of our local semifinalists in the slideshow below. And for a full list of semifinalists, check out the listing on jamesbeard.org:

Happy Friday, everyone! It's been a busy week, that's for sure! I guess, instead of my usual fodder, I can fill you in a little about what I'm up to lately! I know I always seem like I'm doing something, I just never really disclose what that something is. I guess, like most people, I don't like to let the cat out of the bag until I know for sure that something will come of it, and lately, my God, there's been quite a lot of something going around!
SUPERWAXX – MADE FOR TH!S EXHIBIT (HIERARCHY, DC)November 7, 2014
The Made For Th!s exhibit is where childhood nostalgia, and your wild imagination collide. The exhibit is hosted by No Kings Collective, and held at the Hierarchy DC gallery— this is the very first solo exhibition for Richmond native, SUPERWAXX, and upon entering, you immediately recognize the imagery and cultural references she utilizes, but as you get closer to each piece, you can see where her style shines through. It's a hybrid of animation, street art, and graffiti that is executed effortlessly, and you can see why she has shown in places like New York, Miami, Boston, and even Cuba.
As a lover of art, and in particular, Pop Art, this exhibit was refreshing, neither the art nor the artist take themselves too seriously— in fact, these pieces are actually fun, and were mostly inspired by her childhood. You can spot huge cartoon and animation influences throughout all of the pieces, but, The Simpsons are her ultimate muses—an entire section of the gallery was devoted to America's favorite family, we snacked on pink donuts a la Homer, and come on, she even rocked a Bart hat on Opening Night. After the jump, check out some of her pieces, and watch the interview we shot with her at the opening!

Outfitted x #ShopWithChevyOctober 27, 2014
Last month, I attended the Outfitted x #ShopWithChevy pop up shop at The Loft at 600 F in DC. I was originally just going to be attending as a blogger, but, I was offered the opportunity to help with setting up the event, and helping to style the guests who came to shop, and I thought it would be a lot of fun to try it out. When I arrived, people were hustling to get the space finished before the afternoon party began, there were beautiful Earthy decorations of feathers and burlap and pom poms everywhere, with pops of glitter and glamour. The clothes were beautifully curated for this event(I LOVED the kimonos), and so, my task was to organize a showroom of all the merchandise, along with fellow DC fashionisto, Voltaire. He and I both have visual merchandising backgrounds, and we collaborated on how to set up a really nice boutique area, which worked out really well. I loved being able to help, and to get experience with setting up events like this. I ended up having a great time partying with the lovely people at Outfitted, and Chevy, and all of DC's most fashionable. I have tons of photos from the event, so, instead of me being longwinded about it, I'll just show you! Enjoy the eye candy! Happy Monday! Continue Reading…
ORS Nature's Secret Tour x Ubiquitous Hair ShowOctober 27, 2014
Several weeks ago, I had the chance to meet up with the ORS Nature's Secret Tour when it stopped in DC, at the beautiful Omni Shoreham Hotel, along with the Ubiquitous Hair Show. This was my first time ever going to a hair show, and while it was totally a lot of fun, it was also a little overwhelming! Luckily, I was able to bring along one of my best friends, Anastasia, and we navigated the madness together.

I Only Look ExpensiveOctober 16, 2014
This may come as shock to some people, but, I'm not wealthy or well-off—not even close. In the last year, I've really had to buckle down financially, and I haven't been able to buy things as carelessly, and frivolously as I once did. It can be annoying at times, but, I look at it like a challenge more than a burden. I get a lot of compliments on my clothes and shoes choices, and often times, people assume that everything I own is designer, or really expensive. I can assure you, that that's not the case, at all.
This look is basically an ode to the Classics, as I like to call them, they are the building blocks of my wardrobe, essentially. They can make anyone look just as good, or expensive. I think something like a trench coat, simple shirt, skirt, and the right heels can go a long way. These are the kind of pieces that have longevity in my closet, and can be mixed and matched with other pieces in as many different ways as I can think of. I think the key for looking really put together is getting the basics down, and serving it with a whole lot of confidence.
Eye, Lips, & Face: My Every Day Makeup EssentialsOctober 13, 2014
Despite having a ton of different makeup in my stash, I find that I am drawn to the same few products on a daily basis—I guess it's similar to having a closet full of clothes, and only wearing the same things over and over again. Now that I'm a little more busy, I don't have as much time to get done up in the morning, as I did before, so I had to switch up my routine to something that I could do as quickly as possible; I've been really into that whole no-makeup-makeup thing, and the following products are what I use to achieve this look effortlessly.

Tartan Is The New BlackOctober 9, 2014
"Tartan? For Fall? Groundbreaking."
As non-revolutionary as breaking out Tartan in the Fall may seem, I just can't get enough. Some things come around every season, without fail, because they are classics. Tartan is something that I never get tired of seeing, and I especially love seeing how people interpret this pattern into their wardrobes. Tartan can come in an array of different color combinations, but, my all time favorite color combo is blue and green. These ankle pants (from Zara) are a staple in my closet come Fall/Winter, ever since I bought them a couple of years ago; I find that they work well with a plethora of different looks: they can be preppy, punk, conservative, flirty, etc., and I love that I'm able to switch it up, if I wanted to. Some people might find dressing in tartan tricky, but, honestly, treat it almost like a neutral, and you can wear it with whatever you want!
Officer On DeckOctober 6, 2014
If there's one thing I enjoy more than dressing like a boy, it's incorporating military-inspired attire into my looks. Fun fact about me: I am kind of obsessed with the military—history of wars, weapons, vehicles, and especially the uniforms! Back in High School, I was even in NJROTC (Naval Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, for those not familiar with the abbreviation), and it was one of my most favorite activities. I'm not sure why I signed up for the class in the first place, probably because all of my friends did it, but, it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my adolescence. NJROTC taught me many skills, like leadership, teamwork, responsibility, and pride in my personal appearance. Everyone pretty much hated their uniforms (we had to wear them to school once a week, for a grade), but I loved it. It wasn't the most fun thing in the world, wearing a polyester shirt and pants and uncomfortable shoes all day, but, it was what it was—either wear the uniform correctly, or fail. Since I was kind of a nerd, failing wasn't an option. Attention to details is what passed or failed you on Uniform Day; everyone had the same white shirt, and black pants, the difference was, some people had grimy ring-around-the-collar, non-pressed pants, white socks, non-polished shoes, crooked ribbons and name tags, or no cover (hat); I never understood why it was so hard for people to prepare themselves for this one assignment, that reoccured weekly—but, then again, it was high school, and getting teenagers to care about anything other than themselves, is a feat in and of itself.
My brain is basically wired for extreme attention to detail, and I think that's why I did so well in that class—I eventually made my way to being an Officer, and in Senior year, I was this close to actually enlisting in the Navy—but, my friend Ashley got me interested in going to art school, which seemed like a lot more fun.

Not So BasicSeptember 22, 2014
This weekend, I attended the #ShopWithChevy x Outfitted event in DC—it was half pop up shop, half happy hour for some of DC's most stylish people. I wore this outfit consisting of a maxi shirt (which I scored at a store called, Chocolate), my favorite DIY distressed jeans, and white heels by Shoemint. I accessorized with plenty of gold rings, and my latest obsession—this to-die-for camera bag by Ona Bags! I love that it looks nothing like a traditional camera bag, and it's just got a really beautiful, classic design that will work with pretty much anything in my wardrobe. I will definitely go more in depth on this bag later, but, until then, you can check out my Chelsea bag, and more of their lovely camera bags here. Continue Reading…

Cl. 204-38 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE V0 thin films exhibiting abrupt changes in conductivity of the order of greater than 10 within a narrow range of transition temperatures are formed on top of Ta O' films prepared by oxidation of a tantalum substrate.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the invention This invention relates to a method of forming V0 thin films, and to the resulting product.
Description of the prior art Recent interest has been shown in materials which are able to undergo a metal-semiconductor phase transition at a characteristic temperature. Accompanying the transition are abrupt and substantial changes in various properties of the materials, such as changes in its electrical resistance, light reflectance, etc. Devices which make use of these changes have been devised. Exemplary of those devices which take advantage of the abrupt change in resistance are switching devices as described in US. Patent 3,149,298, issued to E. T. Handelman.
Significant among the materials which possess such a phase transition is vanadium dioxide. It is important that this material be in a form that is compatible with the modern planar device technology. However, the metalsemiconductor phase transition characteristic of the bulk form is generally difficult to obtain in thin films of vanadium dioxide, except where such films are formed on expensive single crystal substrates. For example, while the ratio of the change in conductivity at thetransition temperature (about 68 C.) of single crystal V0 and V0 films on single crystal substrates of sapphire or rutile is about or 10*, values no greater than 10 insufficient for many contemplated device uses, are typically obtained for V0 films on glass, glazed ceramic, or silicon substrates.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the invention, V0 films are formed on thin films containing Ta O previously formed by oxidation of a tantalum-containing surface. Such V0 films exhibit abrupt changes in conductivity with temperature about as large as those observed in V0 single crystals.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the inventive product;
FIG. 2 is a graph of the conductivity (ohm-cm) versus temperature C.) for a V0 film on a glass substrate (prior art); and
3,491,000 Patented Jan. 20, 1970 FIG. 3 is a graph of the conductivity (ohm-cm.) versus temperature C.) for a V0 film on a Ta O film.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION The substrate surface, that is, the surface upon which the V0,, is to be formed, should be formed by oxidizing a surface containing at least 40 percent by weight of tantalum. The tantalum-containing surface may be produced by sputtering or evaporation of tantalum onto a supporting material, or may even be a solid metal body. Oxidation to Ta O may then be achieved by any of a number of methods, for example, by oven oxidation, aqueous anodization or gas phase anodization (the latter sometimes referred to either as oxygen plasma anodization or glow discharge anodization). Since it is important only to form a surface suitable for the formation of V0,, thereon, it is, of course, not necessary to completely oxidize the tantalum layer.
The substrate surface containing tantalum prior to oxidation may additionally contain aluminum in the amount of up to 60 atomic percent so that oxidation would result in a surface comprising a mixed oxide of tantalum and aluminum. A surface containing more than 60 percent may evidence galvanic corrosion under high humidity conditions.
The presence of other additives in the substrate surface is not critical, amounts of up to 40 atomic percent being tolerable, beyond which there exists the danger that such impurities may interfere with the formation of a suitable V0 film, such as by diffusion or chemical interaction. In the case where the tantalum-containing surface is formed by sputtering, the principal impurities present will ordinarily be those from the sputtering atmosphere, typically argon, which may be present in amounts up to 20 atomic percent, based on the same considerations.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a planar structure according to a preferred embodiment of the inventive product, in which material 10 supports Ta O film 11 and V0 film 12. It is a principal advantage of the invention that support 10 may be of any material provided, of course, that it can withstand subsequent processing conditions, for example, those needed for formation of the supported films thereon, to be described. Typical support materials could be glass, glazed ceramic, silicon, fused quartz or even a solid metal body, such as tantalum.
The conditions used in cathodic sputtering are known (see Vacuum Deposition of Thin Films, L. Holland, 1. Wiley & Sons, New York, 1956). However, to aid the practitioner the following exemplary procedures for sputtering Ta and oxidizing the resultant film to Ta O is briefly described. Sputtering is achieved by bombardment of the Ta cathode by some ionized non-reactive gas, typically argon. Increasing the pressure Within the chamber increases the sputtering rate, due to the larger number of bombarding ions present.
The maximum pressure is that at which sputtering can be reasonably controlled within the prescribed tolerances, while the minimum pressure is determined by the lowest deposition rate which is commercially practicable.
The cathode current density should be adjusted to Within the range .50 to 250 ma./ cm. the lower limit providing an adequate deposition rate and film density, and the upper limit establshing a practical maximum to avoid short apparatus life due to excessive heat generated in the plasma. Typical voltages to meet this requirement depend of course upon the size of the cathode, and for a fiveinch square cathode, range from about 2000to 10,000 volts, the range of 4000 to 5000 volts being preferred.
For the above-specified operating conditions, the substrate-cathode spacing may generally be up to ten inches, above which the deposition rate is impractically slow.
Substrate temperatures are not critical for formation of the Ta film, although above 2000 C. film formation will generally be difficult of achievemnt. A temperature of from 300 C. to 500 C. may be preferred where wellformed films are desired.
Once formed, the Ta film may be placed in an oxidizing oven at a temperature of from 350 C to 1800 C., below which oxidation will generally not occur and above which any resultant film of Ta O would melt. A temperature of from 400 C. to 500 C. results in substantial conversion of a 100 A. to 6000 A. thick film of Ta to Ta O in about 4 to 16 hours.
Alternatively, the sputtered tantalum film may be anodized in an appropriate electrolyte, such as dilute nitric acid, boric acid, acetic acid, citric acid or tartaric acid. The usual procedure followed is similar to conventional anodizing processes in which a low voltage is applied initially and the voltage increased during anodization. Typically, a voltage up to 120 v. is applied at a maximum current density of 1 ma./cm. until the current drops to zero.
The method of forming the V film is not critical, formation by reactive sputtering, or by critical annealing of V 0 or VO films (Where x is less than 2) being suitable (see, for example, MacChesney et al., J. Electrochem. Soc., 115, 1, January 1968, p. 52; Polito and Rozganyi, J. Electrochem. Soc., 115, 1, January 1968, p. 56), although formation by reactive sputtering may be preferred as a one-step process resulting in good quality films. The conditions for vanadium sputtering are similar to those already described for tantalum.
The amount of oxygen present in the sputtering chamber is critical to the obtaining of a suitable product, and is indicated by its partial pressure as well as by the amount of gas flowing through the chamber per unit of time. The optimum amount of oxygen will generally be that which results in formation of V0 Increasing oxygen above this amount will first result in oxygen-doped V0 which is generally undesirable in that it results in a decrease in the magnitude of the change in resistivity at the transition temperature. Even greater amounts of oxygen may result in formation of V 0 Too little oxygen results in a non-stoichiometric product, which may be represented by VO where x is less than 2. Partial pressures of oxygen within which V0 is obtainable without substantial O doping are from 5 10- mm. Hg up to 2 10 mm. Hg. provided the throughput of gas is maintained between the limits of 30x10 to 50 10 u liters per minute. It is good practice to outgas the reaction chamber prior to backfilling with argon and oxygen before each deposition run (typically at about 450 C. for 60 to 90 minutes) in order to maintain close control over the oxygen content.
The presence of oxygen in the reaction chamber in the amounts indicated will generally have an adverse effect on the production of bombarding ions and consequently on the rate of deposition. It is known to counteract this effect by use of a triode system in which a filament and anode are positioned so as to cause a current to flow between the cathode and substrate in a direction transverse to their normal axes, thereby increasing the number of bombarding ions. Typically, a current flow of from 200 to 300 milliamps will result in an increase in the deposition rate by a factor of 2 to 3.
For the above-specified operating conditions, the cathode-substrate spacing may generally be from one to ten inches, below which excessive argon doping of the film is likely and above which the deposition rate is impractically slow. Argon may be present in the V0 film, however, in amounts up to 4 weight percent, without substantial impairment of the electrical characteristics of the film. Additionally, minor amounts of Ta and Mo may be present (in amounts up to 5 weight percent) without significant impairment of the magnitude of the change in conductivity.
The thickness of the V0 film is not critical, films up to in thickness having been repeatedly cycled through the transition point without any mechanical failure having been observed.
. Substrate temperatures may vary from 300 C. to 500 C., below which V0 is no longer attainable and above which damage to the film or substrate is likely. A tempera ture of from 350 C. to 450 C. is preferred, based on the above considerations.
Referring now to FIG. 2, there is depicted a graph of conductivity in ohm-cm. versus temperature in C. of a V0 film formed on a glass slide. It is seen that the change in conductivity is less than 10 over a transition temperature range of about 20 C.
EXAMPLE 1 Tantalum was sputtered in a bell jar having an argon pressure of 20,4 with a foreline pressure of 100;, onto a glass slide held at about 400 C., for about 2 minutes, resulting in a tantalum film about 320 A. thick. The film was then heated overnight in an air oven at 500 C. to convert to Ta O Using a triode system in which the cathode was at 4600 volts and the filament at 200 volts, vanadium was then reacti'vely sputtered for about 30 minutes at an argon pressure of about 17a and an oxygen partial pressure of about 4 l0 a, with a foreline pressure of 100 0, onto the Ta O film held about 6.3 cm. from the cathode, and heated to about 400 C., resulting in :a V0 film about 1500 A. thick. The conductivity was then measured as a function of temperature for the V0 film. The results are depicted graphically in FIG. 3. It is seen that the change in conductivity is greater than 10 over a transition temperature range of slightly more than 10 C.
EXAMPLE 2 The procedure of Example 1 was followed except that the sputtered tantalum film was converted to Ta O by means of contacting it with a .02 percent citric acid electrolyte, and anodizing it to volts, at up to 1 milliamp per square centimeter until the current dropped to zero. The results obtained were comparable to those obtained in Example 1 and depicted in FIG. 3.
The invention has been described in terms of a limited number of embodiments. Since it essentially teaches the formation of V0 films on surfaces comprising Ta O other embodiments are contemplated. For example, formation of the substrate surface by anodization of a tantalum layer completely covered by an aluminum layer, as described in application Ser. No. 404,740, filed Oct. 19, 1964, is contemplated. Such formation would be advantageous if it is desired to deposit the V0 film directly onto conventionally fabricated thin film devices. It should be noted, however, that the thickness of the aluminum layer should be from about 100 to 1000 A. and other conditions should be such that upon anodization the formation of a surface comprising predominantly A1 0 is avoided.
What is claimed is:
1. The method of forming a V0 thin film characterized in that the V0 thin film is formed on a thin film comprising T a O and further characterized in that the thin film comprising T21 O is formed by the method comprising formation of a substrate containing at least 40 atomic percent tantalum followed by oxidation of the surface of the substrate.

Google My Business?
Last week, Google rolled out its new small business product called Google My Business, which provides a single platform for updating information on Google Search, Maps and Google+.
Informational Webinar
If you were already using Google Places for Business or the Google+ Pages Dashboard, you will have to now acquaint yourself with Google My Business right away because they have all been consolidated into the My Business platform. In fact, you can attend a Hangout webinar hosted by Google to learn more about the launch: Thursday June 19, 11:00 PST
What it does
While I described Google My Business as a "platform" above, in fact, it is much more than that. Mike Blumenthal refers to it as a brand, a platform, and a portal with enhanced analytics and an interface that connects to other Google products, including AdWords.
Features include:
- Manage all Google web properties from a single mobile app
- Monitor 3-part reviews Google crawls
- Comment on Google+ Reviews
- Track Customer Insights and Analytics
- Manage multiple locations from one dashboard
- Integrated with customer engagement features with Google+ and Google Hangouts
What it means
Greg Sterling goes so far as to call the product suite a rudimentary CRM. And, when you look at the messaging put out by Google, it's easy to see why. The product is being billed as a platform to "Connect with Customers" as much as being found.
At the moment, "engagement" is limited to social media, hangouts, and customer reviews. So, it is really more of a public-facing marketing tool, than customer relations management platform. To be sure, all of this is being given away for free, but the hope is that small businesses will use the platform to purchase ads.
Whatever the case, Google My Business in this current iteration is, at the very least, a vast upgrade that should make it much easier for local businesses and marketers to manage Google web properties from a single platform.

Senate panel OKs renewal of timber county funding
Jun 18, 2013
By JEFF BARNARD
Of the Associated Press
GRANTS PASS — A U. S. Senate committee on Tuesday endorsed legislation to extend federal subsidies for timber counties one more year, and to protect more wilderness and wild rivers in Oregon.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said the two bills are part of his effort to solve the funding crisis for Oregon timber counties, which are struggling to finance law enforcement, and other services, in the wake of expired subsidies and voter reluctance to increase taxes. Still to come is some way to increase timber harvests on what are known as the O&C lands in Western Oregon as a permanent funding solution for the counties.
"As we go forward on the O&C legislation, the lands in western Oregon that were protected in the Oregon Treasures bill are going to be part of the balance that is going to be struck in the division of lands between conservation and harvest lands," Wyden said in a statement.
One bill would extend federal subsidies to timber counties nationwide, known as the Secure Rural Schools Act, though at a 5 percent lower rate than before. Oregon's share would be about $100 million.
Secure Rural Schools was first enacted in 2000, and has now expired, with final payments going out early this year. The idea was to make up for the timber revenues that counties lost when national forests cut back logging by 90 percent to protect fish, wildlife and clean water.
The other would create two new wilderness areas in central and southwestern Oregon, and extend wild river protection to parts of the Rogue, Chetco and Molalla rivers. One wilderness area would be in the central Oregon area known as Cathedral Rock. The other would be along the lower Rogue River in southwestern Oregon.
The bills were voted out of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee chaired by Wyden on a voice vote with no opposition.
If the bills pass the full Senate, their fate is still uncertain in the House, where members of the Oregon delegation have been working on a legislative proposal to split the O&C lands in two, with one managed for conservation, and the other for timber that would provide revenues for timber counties.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which oversees the O&C lands, is working on a new management plan for the area, which would be ready in 2015.
Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., called the Senate committee action a positive step, adding that some kind of extension of the timber subsidies has always been envisioned as part of the solution for the counties. It would be a couple years before any legislation that increases timber harvest would produce logs.
Wyden is still working on expansion of federal subsidies beyond timber counties to all resource-dependent counties with federal lands.

November 28, 2014
Posted Monday, August 4, 2014 --- 9:33 p.m.
Fears over the deadly Ebola virus are growing, and those fears hit home for a group of UW-Madison students.
The, called Project 1808, travels twice a year to the West African country of Sierra Leone. PhD candidate Linda Vakunta has been attending these trips for the last few years, and considers Sierra Leone to be a second home to her.
In June, Vakunta and others spent three weeks in the country educating kids about Ebola, and other health issues. At the time, the Ebola outbreak had hit neighboring countries, but hadn't broke out in Sierra Leone yet.
During the trip, Vakunta met with World Health Organization leaders to discuss the virus. At the time, she said leaders were optimistic that an outbreak wouldn't happen in Sierra Leone.
"To be honest, I'm very surprised about what's going on there now because at the time they were very confident they had prevented the virus from entering Sierra Leone.. and they said at this point if it came into Sierra Leone, they had had time to prepare for it," she said.
Since then, more than 600 people have contracted the virus in Sierra Leone. Vakunta worries the end may not be in sight soon.
"I really worry about the eradication of this virus when experts from countries that are supposed to be well equipped to handle these issues, are afraid to go in... and with very valid reason," she said.
Vakunta hopes more resources and education in Sierra Leone will come out of this tragic outbreak.
"The long term solution is to train the young people to handle situations like this in the future. If we don't do that, it will continue to be a burden on Sierra Leone, on West Africa, on Africa and on the rest of the world," she said.
