[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/348,665, filed Jan. 15, 2002.
[0002] This invention relates generally to electric storage batteries and more particularly to a battery construction, and method of manufacture thereof, suitable for use in implantable medical devices.
[0003] Rechargeable electric storage batteries are commercially available in a wide range of sizes for use in a variety of applications. As battery technology continues to improve, batteries find new applications which impose increasingly stringent specifications relating to physical size and performance. Thus, new technologies have yielded smaller and lighter weight batteries having longer storage lives and higher energy output capabilities enabling them to be used in an increasing range of applications, including medical applications, where, for example, the battery can be used in a medical device which is implanted in a patient's body. Such medical devices can be used to monitor and/or treat various medical conditions.
[0004] Batteries for implantable medical devices are subject to very demanding requirements, including long useful life, high power output, low self-discharge rates, compact size, high reliability over a long time period, compatibility with the patient's internal body chemistry, etc. Although various battery chemistries have been tried, lithium ion technology is generally accepted as the preferred chemistry for medical implant applications.
[0005] Such electric storage batteries are generally comprised of a tubular metal case enveloping an interior cavity which contains an electrode assembly surrounded by a suitable electrolyte. The electrode assembly generally comprises a plurality of positive electrode, negative electrode, and separator layers which are typically stacked and/or spirally wound to form a jellyroll. The positive electrode is generally formed of a metal substrate having positive active material coated on both faces of the substrate. Similarly, the negative electrode is formed of a metal substrate having negative active material coated on both faces of the substrate. In forming an electrode assembly, separator layers are interleaved between the positive and negative electrode layers to provide electrical isolation.
[0006] The present invention is directed to an electric storage battery incorporating one or more aspects described herein for enhancing battery reliability while minimizing battery size. In addition, the invention is directed to a method for efficiently manufacturing the battery at a relatively low cost.
[0007] In accordance with a first significant aspect of the invention, a feedthrough pin is provided which is directly physically and electrically connected to the inner end of an electrode substrate (e.g., positive), as by welding. The pin is used during the manufacturing process as an arbor to facilitate winding the layers to form an electrode assembly jellyroll. Additionally, in the fully manufactured battery, the pin extends through a battery case endcap and functions as one of the battery terminals. The battery case itself generally functions as the other battery terminal.
[0008] More particularly, in accordance with an exemplary preferred embodiment, the inner end of the positive electrode substrate is spot welded to the feedthrough pin to form an electrical connection. The substrate, e.g., aluminum, can be very thin, e.g., 0.02 mm, making it difficult to form a strong mechanical connection to the pin, which is preferably constructed of a low electrical resistance, highly corrosion resistant material, e.g., platinum iridium, and can have a diameter on the order of 0.40 mm. In order to mechanically reinforce the pin and secure the pin/substrate connection, a slotted C-shaped mandrel is provided. The mandrel is formed of electrically conductive material, e.g., titanium-6Al-4V, and is fitted around the pin, overlaying the pin/substrate connection. The mandrel is then preferably welded to both the pin and substrate. The mandrel slot defines a keyway for accommodating a drive key which can be driven to rotate the mandrel and pin to wind the electrode assembly layers to form the spiral jellyroll.
[0009] In accordance with a further significant aspect of the invention, the outer layer of the jellyroll is particularly configured to minimize the size, i.e., outer radius dimension, of the jellyroll. More particularly, in the exemplary preferred embodiment, the active material is removed from both faces of the negative electrode substrate adjacent its outer end. The thickness of each active material coat can be about 0.04 mm and the thickness of the negative substrate can be about 0.005 mm. By baring the outer end of the negative electrode substrate, it can be adhered directly, e.g., by an appropriate adhesive tape, to the next inner layer to close the jellyroll to while minimizing the roll outer radius dimension.
[0010] A battery case in accordance with the invention is comprised of a tubular case body having open first and second ends. The feedthrough pin preferably carries a first endcap physically secured to, but electrically insulated from, the pin. This first endcap is preferably secured to the case body, as by laser welding, to close the open first end and form a leak free seal. With the jellyroll mounted in the case and the first endcap sealed, the interior cavity can thereafter be filled with electrolyte from the open second end.
[0011] In accordance with a still further aspect of the invention, the jellyroll assembly is formed with a flexible electrically conductive tab extending from the negative electrode substrate for electrical connection to the battery case. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the tab is welded to a second endcap which is in turn welded to the case. The tab is sufficiently flexible to enable the second endcap to close the case body second end after the interior cavity is filled with electrolyte via the open second end. In accordance with an exemplary preferred embodiment, the tab is welded to the inner face of the second endcap such that when the jellyroll is placed in the body, the tab locates the second endcap proximate to the body without obstructing the open second end. After electrolyte filling, the case body is sealed by bending the tab to position the second endcap across the body second end and then laser welding the endcap to the case body.

[0036] Attention is initially directed to FIGS. 1 and 2 which illustrate a preferred feedthrough pin subassembly 10 utilized in accordance with the present invention. The subassembly 10 is comprised of an elongate pin 12, preferably formed of a solid electrically conductive material, having low electrical resistance and high corrosion resistance such as platinum iridium, preferably 90Pt/10Ir. The pin 12 extends through, and is hermetically sealed to a header 14. The header 14 is comprised of dielectric disks, e.g., ceramic, 16 and 18 which sandwich a glass hollow cylinder 20 therebetween. The glass hollow cylinder is hermetically sealed to the pin 12. The outer surface of the glass hollow cylinder 20 is sealed to the inner surface of an electrically conductive hollow member 22, e.g., titanium-6Al-4V. As will be seen hereinafter, the conductive hollow material 22 functions as a battery case endcap in the final product to be described hereinafter.
[0037] Attention is now directed to FIGS. 3,4, and 5 which illustrate a preferred positive electrode strip 30 which is utilized in the fabrication of a preferred spirally wound jellyroll electrode assembly in accordance with the present invention. The positive electrode strip 30 is comprised of a metal substrate 32 formed, for example, of aluminum. Positive electrode active material 34, 36 is deposited, respectively on the upper and lower faces 38 and 40 of the substrate 32. Note in FIGS. 3,4, and 5 that the right end of the substrate 32 is bare, i.e. devoid of positive active material on both the upper and lower faces 38, 40.
[0038] It is to be pointed out that exemplary dimensions are depicted in FIGS. 1-5 and other figures herein. These exemplary dimensions are provided primarily to convey an order of magnitude to the reader to facilitate an understanding of the text and drawings. Although the indicated dimensions accurately reflect one exemplary embodiment of the invention, it should be appreciated that the invention can be practiced utilizing components having significantly different dimensions.
[0039]FIG. 6 depicts an early process step for manufacturing a battery in accordance with the invention utilizing the pin subassembly 10 (FIGS. 1,2) and the positive electrode strip 30 (FIGS. 3-5). A topside electrode insulator (not shown), which may comprise a thin disk of DuPont Kapton� polyimide film, is slipped onto the pin 12 adjacent the header 14. In accordance with the present invention, the bare end of the electrode strip substrate 32 is electrically connected to the pin 12 preferably by resistance spot welding, shown at 44. Alternatively, substrate 32 may be ultrasonically welded to the pin 12. The thinness, e.g. point 0.02 mm of the substrate 32, makes it very difficult to form a strong mechanical connection between the substrate and the pin 12. Accordingly, in accordance with a significant aspect of the present invention, an elongate C-shaped mandrel 48 is provided to mechanically reinforce the pin 12 and secure the substrate 32 thereto.
[0040] The mandrel 48 preferably comprises an elongate titanium or titanium alloy such as Ti-6Al-4V tube 50 having a longitudinal slot 52 extending along the length thereof. The arrow 54 in FIG. 6 depicts how the mandrel 48 is slid over the pin 12 and substrate 32, preferably overlaying the line of spot welds 44. The mandrel 48, pin 12, and substrate 32 are then preferably welded together, such as by resistance spot welding or by ultrasonic welding. Alternatively, the mandrel 48 may be crimped onto the pin 12 at least partially closing the "C" to create a strong mechanical connection. In the case of forming only a mechanical connection and not necessarily a gas-tight electrical connection between the mandrel 48 and the pin and substrate, the mandrel material is preferably made of a material that will not lead to electrolysis. When used with electrolytes that tend to contain hydrofluoric acid, the mandrel is preferably made of 304, 314, or 316 stainless steels or aluminum or an alloy thereof chosen for its compatibility with the other materials. FIG. 7 is an end view showing the step of crimping the mandrel 48 to the pin 12 and substrate 32. Supporting die 126 is used to support the mandrel 48 and crimping dies 124 and 125 are used to deform the edges of the mandrel 48 to bring them closer together and mechanically connect the mandrel 48 to the pin 12 and substrate 32. By crimping in the direction of arrows 127 and 128, a strong connection is formed without damaging the thin electrode or disturbing the electrical connection between the pin and the electrode.
[0041]FIG. 8 is an end view showing the slotted mandrel 48 on the pin 12 with the substrate 32 extending tangentially to the pin 12 and terminating adjacent the interior surface of the mandrel tube 50. The tube 50 is preferably sufficiently long so as to extend beyond the free end of the pin 12. As depicted in FIG. 9, this enables a drive key 56 to extend into the mandrel slot 52.
[0042]FIG. 10 schematically depicts a drive motor 60 for driving the drive key 56 extending into mandrel slot 52. With the pin subassembly header 14 supported for rotation (not shown), energization of the motor 60 will orbit the key drive 56 to rotate the mandrel 48 and subassembly 10 around their common longitudinal axes. The rotation of the mandrel 48 and subassembly 10 is employed to form a jellyroll electrode assembly in accordance with the present invention.
[0043] More particularly, FIG. 11 depicts how a jellyroll electrode assembly is formed in accordance with the present invention. The bare end of the substrate 32 of the positive electrode strip 30 is electrically connected to the pin 12 as previously described. The conductive mandrel 48 contains the pin 12 and bare substrate end, being welded to both as previously described. A strip of insulating separator material 64 extending from opposite directions is introduced between the mandrel 48 and positive electrode substrate 32, as shown. A negative electrode strip 70 is then introduced between the portions of the separator material extending outwardly from mandrel 48.
[0044] The preferred exemplary negative electrode strip 70 is depicted in FIGS. 12-15. The negative electrode strip 70 is comprised of a substrate 72, e.g. titanium, having negative active material formed on respective faces of the substrate. More particularly, note in FIG. 14 that negative active material 74 is deposited on the substrate upper surface 76 and negative active material 78 is deposited on the substrate lower surface 80. FIG. 14 depicts the preferred configuration of the inner end 82 of the negative electrode strip 70 shown at the left of FIGS. 12 and 13. FIG. 15 depicts the configuration of the outer end 83 of the negative electrode strip 70 shown at the right side of FIGS. 12 and 13.
[0045] Note in FIG. 14 that one face of the substrate inner end 82 is bared. This configuration can also be noted in FIG. 11 which shows how the negative substrate inner end 82 is inserted between turns of the separator strip 64. After the strip 70 has been inserted as depicted in FIG. 11, the aforementioned drive motor 60 is energized to rotate pin 12 and mandrel 48, via drive key 56, in a counterclockwise direction, as viewed in FIG. 11. Rotation of pin 12 and mandrel 48 functions to wind positive electrode strip 30, separator strip 64, and negative electrode strip 70, into the spiral jellyroll assembly 84, depicted in FIG. 16. The assembly 84 is comprised of multiple layers of strip material so that a cross section through the assembly 84 would reveal a sequence of layers in the form pos/sep/neg/sep/pos/sep/neg/ . . . , etc.
[0046]FIG. 15 depicts a preferred configuration of the outer end 83 of the negative electrode strip 70. Note that the outer end 88 of the substrate 72 is bared on both its top and bottom faces. Additionally, as shown in FIG. 17, a flexible metal tab 90 is welded crosswise to the substrate 72 so as to extend beyond edge 92. More particularly, note that portion 94 of tab 90 is cantilevered beyond edge 92 of negative electrode strip 70. This tab portion, as will be described hereinafter, is utilized to mechanically and electrically connect to an endcap for closing a battery case.
[0047] Attention is now called to FIG. 18, which illustrates a preferred technique for closing the jellyroll assembly 84. That is, the bared end 88 of the negative electrode substrate 72 extending beyond the negative active material coat 78 is draped over the next inner layer of the jellyroll assembly 84. The end 88 can then be secured to the next inner layer, e.g., by appropriate adhesive tape 96. One such suitable adhesive tape is DuPont Kapton� polyimide tape. It is important to note that the outer end configuration 88 of the negative electrode strip 70 enables the outer radius dimension of the jellyroll assembly 84 to be minimized as shown in FIG. 18. More particularly, by baring the substrate 72 beyond the active material 78, the tape 96 is able to secure the substrate end without adding any radial dimension to the jellyroll assembly. In other words, if the outer end of the substrate were not sufficiently bared, then the tape 96 would need to extend over the active material and thus add to the outer radius dimension of the jellyroll 84. Furthermore, the bare substrate 72 is more flexible than the substrate coated with active material 78 and conforms more readily to the jellyroll assembly 84, making it easier to adhere it to the surface of the jellyroll. These space savings, although seemingly small, can be clinically important in certain medical applications. It should be noted that the electrode need only be bared at an end portion long enough to accommodate the tape 96, as shown in FIG. 18. Because the uncoated substrate does not function as an electrode, it would waste space in the battery to bare any more than necessary to accommodate the tape. In a preferred embodiment, the length of uncoated substrate is between 1 and 8 mm, and more preferably about 2 mm.
[0048]FIG. 19 depicts the completed jellyroll assembly 84 and shows the cantilevered tab portion 94 prior to insertion into a battery case body 100. The case body 100 is depicted as comprising a cylindrical metal tube 101 having an open first end 104 and open second end 106. Arrow 107 represents how the jellyroll assembly 84 is inserted into the cylindrical tube 101. FIG. 20 depicts the jellyroll assembly 84 within the tube 101 with the cantilevered negative electrode tab 94 extending from the case open second end 106. The case open first end 104 is closed by the aforementioned header 14 of the pin subassembly 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. More particularly, note that the metal hollow member 22 is configured to define a reduced diameter portion 108 and shoulder 110. The reduced diameter portion 108 is dimensioned to fit into the open end 104 of the cylindrical tube 101 essentially contiguous with the tube's inner wall surface. The shoulder 110 of the hollow member 22 engages the end of the case tube 101. This enables the surfaces of the reduced diameter portion 108 and shoulder 110 to be laser welded to the end of the case 100 to achieve a hermetic seal.
[0049] Attention is now directed to FIGS. 21-24, which depict the tab 94 extending from the second open end 106 of the case tube 101. Note that the tab 94 extends longitudinally from the body close to the case tube adjacent to tube's inner wall surface. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the tab 94 is welded at 110 to the inner face 112 of a circular second endcap 114. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the tab 94 is sufficiently long to locate the weld 110 beyond the center point of the circular endcap 114. More particularly, note in FIGS. 21-24 that by locating the weld 110 displaced from the center of the cap 114, the tab 94 can conveniently support the endcap 114 in a vertical orientation as depicted in FIG. 22 misaligned with respect to the open end 106. This end cap position approximately perpendicular to the end 122 of the case 100 is a first bias position wherein the end cap advantageously tends to remain in that orientation with the case end open prior to filling. To further describe the relationship between the weld location and the various components, FIG. 23 shows a front view with various dimensions. L represents the length from the weld 110 to the top of the case 100 as measured parallel to the edge of the case. R is the radius of the end cap 114. For the preferred geometry, L≦2R. Weld 110 is preferably made above the center point 111 of the end cap 114. Preferably, the end cap 114 overlaps the case 100 by approximately R/2. By configuring the tab 94 and weld 110 as indicated, the endcap 114 can be supported so that it does not obstruct the open end 106, thereby facilitating electrolyte filling of the case interior cavity via open end 106. A filling needle or nozzle can be placed through open end 106 to fill the case. This obviates the need for a separate electrolyte fill port, thereby reducing the number of components and number of seals to be made, thus reducing cost and improving reliability. Furthermore, for small medical batteries, the end caps would be very small to have fill ports therein. In a preferred embodiment in which the case wall is very thin, for example, 0.002 inches, providing a fill port in the side wall of the case would be impractical. Even in the case of larger devices where space is less critical and the wall is more substantial, providing a fill port in the side of the case would mean the electrolyte would have a very long path length to wet the jellyroll. Note that while the case could be filled with electrolyte prior to welding tab 94 to endcap 114, it would be difficult and messy to do so. Therefore, it is advantageous to configure the tab 94 and weld 110 as described to allow the weld to be made prior to filling.
[0050] Preferably before filling, a bottomside electrode insulator (not shown), which may comprise a thin disk of DuPont Kapton� polyimide film, is installed into the case between the rolled electrode assembly and the still open end of the battery case.
[0051] In a preferred filing method, there is a channel of air between the pin and the crimped or welded C-shaped mandrel, which is used as a conduit for quickly delivering the electrolyte to the far end of the battery and to the inside edges of the electrodes within the jellyroll. Filling from the far end of the battery prevents pockets of air from being trapped, which could form a barrier to further filling. This facilitates and speeds the filling process, ensuring that electrolyte wets the entire battery.
[0052] Thereafter, the flexible tab 94 can be bent to the configuration depicted in FIG. 24. Note that the endcap 114 is configured similarly to header hollow member 22 and includes a reduced diameter portion 118 and a shoulder 120. The reduced diameter portion snugly fits against the inner surface of the wall of tube 101 with the endcap shoulder 120 bearing against the end 122 of the cylindrical case 100. The relatively long length of the tab 94 extending beyond the center point of the endcap surface 112 minimizes any axial force which might be exerted by the tab portion 94 tending to longitudinally displace the endcap 114. The end cap position covering the end 122 of the case 100 is a second bias position wherein the end cap advantageously tends to remain in that orientation prior to welding. With the endcap in place, it can then be readily welded to the case wall 101 to hermetically seal the battery. With tab 90 welded to negative substrate 72 and with the negative electrode strip 70 as the outermost layer of the jellyroll, the endcap 114 becomes negative. In turn, welding the endcap 114 to the case 100 renders the case negative.
[0053] From the foregoing, it should now be appreciated that an electric storage battery construction and method of manufacture have been described herein particularly suited for manufacturing very small, highly reliable batteries suitable for use in implantable medical devices. Although a particular preferred embodiment has been described herein and exemplary dimensions have been mentioned, it should be understood that many variations and modifications may occur to those skilled in the art falling within the spirit of the invention and the intended scope of the appended claims.

Re: JFK to Montauk - where to stay near JFK for one night?
Hi...not really sure of the details, but a quick suggestion is just that you might be able to find something near rockaway beach or the nature preserve. That might be your best best...
Otherwise, I'd suggest trying to get out towards montauk in the evening and then enjoying it out that way.
Eastern long island is really beautiful and not like Brooklyn or QUeens AT ALL. It's more like Martha's Vineyard out that way.

Re: JFK to Montauk - where to stay near JFK for one night?
"Near to JFK" and "some charm to a tourist" are pretty much mutually exclusive. Considering you'll be tired after your flight , and also that once you get through immigration and baggage claim you are unlikely to get out of the airport before 9 PM, I wouldn't be planning on doing too much that evening.
If you are planning on renting a car then I would work that out first--car rental rates vary dramatically depending on where you pick up the car. Airport locations and Manhattan are going to be the most expensive, so you'll probably want to pick it up somewhere cheaper--possibly somewhere along the LIRR train line en route to your destination, or another Queens/LI location.
There are plenty of hotels in Queens/LI that are close to LIRR and should be reasonably convenient to car rental offices. For instance, I stayed at a Hampton Inn in Rockville Center two years ago that was pretty well located. Check TripAdvisor and Kayak for possibilities.

Re: JFK to Montauk - where to stay near JFK for one night?
The area around JFK is a slum, and your room neighbors may very well be people on the dole. Maybe you can take the LIRR to a hotel in Hempstead (or Garden City, better), and pick up your rental car in the morning? Of course, downtown Hempstead is a slum, too!

Mr. Ventrell said in Wednesday's briefing that the school was "a short distance away" — reports on the ground say 200 yards — and that the U.S. civilians in the group were wearing personal protective gear.
'Under investigation'
A spokesman for the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan told The Washington Times that an investigation is conducted whenever troops are killed in action.
"Normally it is the Brigade Commander who initiates" the investigation, Lt. Col. Rich Spiegel said in an email, adding that he wasn't sure whether that was the case in this situation.
He said he could not comment further on the ongoing investigation.
"The State Department has been at war longer than the rest of the country," said Mr. Carafano, noting that al Qaeda struck U.S. embassies in East Africa with coordinated suicide attacks several years before Sept. 11, 2001. "They've been a target since forever. They should be very good at risk management by now."
In Benghazi, U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, State Department officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were killed when a group of heavily armed extremists overran the U.S. diplomatic compound and, several hours later, attacked a nearby CIA annex.
In most cases in which U.S. diplomats are killed in the line of duty, an accountability review board must conduct a legally mandated investigation, but language in the law excludes fatalities in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Mr. Ventrell said four other State Department employees were injured in the blast. He identified one of them — the most seriously hurt — as Kelly Hunt, a public affairs officer who was evacuated to Germany.
"She is receiving the best possible medical care," Mr. Ventrell said, adding that Secretary of State John F. Kerry had spoken with Ms. Hunt's parents twice since the weekend "and conveyed his sympathy to the family during this difficult time."
Two other injured State Department personnel were being treated at an allied medical facility in Afghanistan, and a fourth was released.
Rep. Frank R. Wolf, a Virginia Republican who has pushed for a Watergate-style investigation of the Benghazi attack, released a letter Thursday supporting his campaign from Sean Smith's mother.
"Please, please help me find out who is responsible and fix it so no more of our sons and daughters are abandoned by the country they love," she wrote, endorsing Mr. Wolf's resolution calling for a special investigative committee to be empaneled by the House speaker.
Two groups representing former military and intelligence personnel also voiced support this week for the resolution, in one case with an open letter to Congress signed by more than 700 veterans.

Hello parents and students,
Do you want to boost an SAT Math score? I can help!
I have been tutoring SAT Math for over six years. I have helped numerous students boost their scores by teaching them techniques to get to the correct answers more quickly and successfully and by pointing out the common traps seen on the SAT. I have helped students from a wide range of math aptitude; I enjoy helping students who are struggling in math as well as students in AP Calculus who are shooting to hit a perfect 800 score.
Students with the highest jumps in scores are those who are willing to put in the time and effort on their own time. In addition to our tutoring sessions, I strongly encourage students to work through assigned homework problems to reinforce what we covered during the lessons.
I attended Villanova University and received a BS in Mathematics in 1994. I was a member of the U.S. National Rowing Team and competed in two World Rowing Championships and the Pan American Games. I have an upbeat, positive attitude and love helping students learn how to build confidence and achieve success.
I'm looking forward to working with you! Thank you for considering me for this important decision.

Anne P. really came to our rescue. I emailed and asked for a tutor for the next day, she responded immediately. Not only did she respond promptly, but she is very very knowledgeable with regard to SAT Math. She is very patient, considerate and has the ability to show you how to solve math problems several ways. Our experience was EXCELLENT with Anne P. I would highly recommend her.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Anne P. passed a background check on 10/12/11. The check was ordered by Anne through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Anne, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.

Women Vets Have Earned 'Benefits, Respect, Thanks' - Peake
Fourth National Summit on Women Veterans Issues Begins June 20
WASHINGTON, March 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Recognizing the valor, service and sacrifice of America's 1.7 million women veterans, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has created a comprehensive array of benefits and programs.
"Women who served this country in uniform -- whether veterans of World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, the current Global War on Terror or peacetime service -- have earned our respect and thanks," said Dr. James B. Peake, Secretary of Veterans Affairs. "They have also earned the full range of VA programs offered by a grateful nation."
Secretary Peake also announced the Fourth National Summit on Women Veterans Issues to be held from June 20 - 22 in Washington, D.C. The Summit will offer attendees an opportunity to enhance future progress on women veterans issues, with sessions specifically for the Reserve and National Guard, information on military sexual trauma and readjustment issues, after the military veteran resources and many more programs and exhibits.
Women veterans are entitled to the same benefits and medical care as their male counterparts, including health care, disability compensation, education assistance, work-study allowance, vocational rehabilitation, employment and counseling services, insurance, home loan benefits, nursing home care, survivor benefits, and various burial benefits.
VA also has a multitude of services and programs to respond to the unique needs of women veterans. VA offers comprehensive, high-quality primary health care services for women, including Pap smears, mammography, and general reproductive health care. Along with these services, VA's mental health care for women includes substance abuse counseling, evaluation and treatment of military sexual trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

ALLEGAN, Mich., May 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Perrigo Company (Nasdaq: PRGO; TASE) today announced results for its third quarter ended March 26, 2011.
Perrigo's Chairman and CEO Joseph C. Papa commented, "We are very pleased with this quarter's record revenue and earnings performance. The main contributors to this strong performance were $44 million of new product sales, continued operational execution in our Rx and API segments and another solid quarter in Nutritionals. In Consumer Healthcare, revenue grew 13% in the quarter as we continue to see very strong demand for our products. At the same time, we have been experiencing some throughput pressure in manufacturing, but we are in the process of making investments that we believe will enhance output in the near future."
Mr. Papa continued, "The April resolution of the 2010 FDA warning letter in less than one year is a major achievement. We are convinced that this process has made us a better company, as it helped us to further enhance the quality of our production. Our retailers and consumers continue to realize the value proposition of Perrigo's high quality, affordable healthcare products and we look forward to increasing our production volumes further to meet their growing demand."
Refer to Table I at the end of this press release for adjustments in the current year and prior year periods and additional non-GAAP disclosure information.

Music Video: Kanye West "Black Skinhead" by Nick KnightMusic // Monday, July 22, 2013
Kanye West, regardless of how you feel about him, is definitely in tune with proper art direction and collaborative efforts. For the video for this new track, "Black Skinhead," he enlisted director Nick Knight to create an interactive, dark, menacing visual treatment that allows the viewer to slow the track, slow the motion, all the while watching a CG-Kanye with massive necklace perform. Go have some fun...
Music Video: SMALL FEET "Rivers" by Oskar WrangöMusic // Monday, July 15, 2013
We don't know much about the band Small Feet, but first thing is first, their track "Rivers" is an eerie folk song in the vein of early Bonnie Prince Billy or Microphones. And the video, directed by Oskar Wrangö, is in the vein of a guy reverse running whilst on fire in the woods. It all works together quite well. Don't try this at home... or in your local wooded forest.
Watch: Stromae "Papaoutai"Music // Friday, July 12, 2013
In this rather fantastic video for Belgian star Stromae, a kid has a fake plastic dad and music and dance make things come alive but only for a short period.... The chorus, "Papa, où t'es?" means "Pa, where are you?" and we'd explain the rest of the lyrics to you if our French was better... The video is directed by Raf Reyntjens.
Music Video: The National "Sea Of Love"Music // Thursday, July 11, 2013
There isn't really anything dramatic that goes on in this Sophia Peer directed video for the new National track, "Sea of Love." It's just a good band, playing a good song, in a room with a clever edit and idea and a little kid playing air guitar in front of them. The track is from The National's new LP, Trouble Will Find Me, out now, and if you need a guide... we think this is the best track. Sometimes simplicity just pays off.
Music Video: Yo La Tengo's Animated "Ohm"Music // Wednesday, July 10, 2013
Yo La Tengo is one of the last true American indie bands from the heyday of the 1990s that is still together, making excellent music and putting on a fantastic live show. They also have a bit of fun with their image, and recently had "Simpsons" writer Donick Cary direct an animated, bizarre video for the track "Ohm", with animation done by Sugarshack Animation. The video follows a classroom instructional on what Yo La Tengo is. And there seems to be psychedelics involved, but that is just a guess we have.
Watch: Phoenix's "Trying to be Cool/Drakkar Noir" by CanadaMusic // Tuesday, July 09, 2013
The popular French band Pheonix's video for "Trying to be Cool/Drakkar Noir" is directed by Canada. Everything in the video is shot in-camera while crews rushed to make sure each cut flowed into the next. Watch it in awe after the jump...
Ari Marcopoulos for Jay Z's "Magna Carta Holy Grail"Music // Wednesday, July 03, 2013
We aren't even sure what a Magna Carta Holy Grail is supposed to be, but it sounds like its competing with whatever a Yeezus is. If you have a Samsung Galaxy, maybe you are preparing for your July 4, 12:01am listening session with Jay Z's new LP of both religious and democratic implication (and for the record, we got thrones, yeezuses, Magna Cartas, and Indiana Jones over the past 18 months from Jay and West), but for the rest of us, we have to wait for the 9th of July. In the meantime, we can verify that indeed, street, skate and fashion photpgrapher Ari Marcopoulos has shot some of the imagery for Jay's album.
Music Video: The Pixies "BAGBOY" directed by LAMAR+NIKMusic // Wednesday, July 03, 2013
No Kim Deal is a big DEAL, but the Pixies will live to see another day, mainly through a huge fanbase and the talents of Black Francis. So here comes a new Pixies track, "Bagboy" and a brilliant odd video of teen angst and summer suburban fun. It feels a little stadium rock, but the Pixies version. And Kim's vocals basically make this a fun romp. Oh, and the video is really well done, directed by Lamar+Nik.
Music Video: Cass McCombs "Morning Star" directed by Patrick O'DellMusic // Monday, July 01, 2013
Throw some skate on it. We love a good Cass McCombs tune, and we love a good assemblage of skate footage put together by Patrick O'Dell any day of the week. And so here we are, on a Monday, and we are getting both together in one music video for McCombs' newest track, "Morning Star," which will be featured on his upcoming LP. Let us enjoy now...
Music Video: Nine Inch Nails "Came Back Haunted" directed by David LynchMusic // Sunday, June 30, 2013
By the way, we are again curating the art portion of the annual Outside Lands Music and Art Festival in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park this summer. We bring this up now because Nine Inch Nails, the comeback version, will be headlining one of the nights. So without further ado, we want to show you the new music video by NIN, "Came Back Haunted," directed by the legendary and consistently interesting and progressive David Lynch. This video could cause a seizure, dance party, industrial hangout session, or just plain listening pleasure. Trent Reznor never looked so blurry.

SALLISAW — The police chief of a small eastern Oklahoma town has confessed to taking less than $100 in city funds, although he told investigators he didn't see anything wrong with it.
Sallisaw police chief admits taking petty cash, city official says
Sallisaw Police Chief Shaloa Edwards is being investigated for leaving an IOU for $40 inside a petty cash drawer at the police station.
The chief also told investigators that he took money two other times, $20 in both instances.
A written statement by Sallisaw police Capt. Beau Gabbert indicates that Edwards was questioned last week.
Gabbert wrote that Edwards admitted to taking the money but that "he didn't think it was wrong."
"He stated that had taken money on three occasions … once forty dollars and twice twenty dollars," Gabbert wrote. "I asked him if he knew taking public funds was a crime and he stated that he didn't think of it that way."
Edwards, an elected official in Sallisaw, is still on the job, City Manager Bill Baker said.
Baker said because Edwards is an elected official, he cannot be suspended or disciplined for violating a city policy.
"He works for the people," Baker said.
According to documents released by Sallisaw city officials, a civilian employee working at the police station alerted authorities to the questionable petty cash withdrawals made by Edwards in November.

The next day, he explored a nearby area that seemed more likely to yield older fossils, but again the first thing he found was another fossil from a more recent hippo-like creature.
"I didn't know whether to be disappointed or not, but I thought, well, maybe something interesting will pop up here, so I started looking around," Zalmout said. "Within minutes, I found teeth sticking out of the ground, and when I realized what they were I was shocked. I had worked with Phil on terrestrial mammals in the Bighorn Basin, and my first look at the size and shape of these teeth told me I had found a primitive primate."

"I knew right away what it was, and I was thrilled," said Gingerich, who is the Ermine Cowles Case Collegiate Professor of Paleontology and director of the U-M Museum of Paleontology. As a student, Gingerich had worked with paleontologist Elwyn Simons, who studied Aegyptopithecus, a primitive catarrhine from the early Oligocene. "Here was something very much like it looking up at me," Gingerich said.
Yahya Al-Mufarreh, head of the paleontology unit at SGS, also was elated. "On the day of the discovery, we could not believe what we had," he said.

Navajo leader challenges vote placing him on leave
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — A judge has denied a request for a temporary
restraining order that would have placed Johnny Naize back at the helm of the
legislative branch.
The Navajo Nation Council voted last week to place Naize on paid administrative
leave over allegations that he diverted tribal funds to his family. Naize has
pleaded not guilty to conspiracy and bribery charges.
Attorneys for Naize are asking a tribal judge to declare the vote invalid. They
also claim that Naize was denied due process. They said the action of tribal
officials constituted an illegal takeover of the legislative branch that has
destroyed relationships and created disharmony. The request named 13 people as
defendants, the 12 lawmakers who voted to place Naize on leave and the executive
director of legislative services.
"Defendants' conduct shows a low respect for Navajo law and a low likelihood
of complying with Navajo law from here forward," the request read.
Window Rock District Court Judge Carol Perry denied the request for a temporary
restraining order and scheduled a hearing on the issue Tuesday morning.
Navajo law does not specifically address placing the tribal council speaker on
administrative leave, nor does it specify a vote requirement for doing so. But
Navajo law gives broad discretion to lawmakers to discipline council members.
Tribal lawmakers met in a special session Friday to consider legislation to
remove Naize from the post he has held since 2011, which would have required a
two-thirds vote of the 24-member council. The legislation was amended to place
Naize on paid administrative leave instead, and it passed with a simple majority
Lawmaker Leonard Tsosie, who proposed the amendments, said Monday that it is
Naize who is promoting disharmony on the Navajo Nation.
"Everything was done according to Navajo laws and council rules," Tsosie
said. "He (Naize) was given due process and every opportunity was made for a
full debate. The council begged him to do something to address Navajo public's
concerns. His inaction only forced the council to do something to protect the
integrity of Navajo government."
Lawmaker LoRenzo Bates was selected to fill in for Naize. He said four of
Naize's political appointees — fewer than half — showed up for work Monday.
Bates said he instructed other permanent legislative workers to continue with
business as usual.
"It's unfortunate Speaker Naize is taking legislative down this path," he
said. "However, it is what it is and we'll see how the courts deal with that."

People differ in the way they approach and cope with challenges in life, and this includes the challenge of losing excess weight. Not everyone brings the same effort, skill-set, confidence, endurance, acceptance of mistakes, and power of recovery. Not everyone brings the same degree of commitment.
What do such individual differences mean for losing unwanted weight?
In the best case Successful weight loss can still be accomplished despite the fact that you don't have all that the next person has. If your self-confidence, for example, is lower than the next person, you still might bring great endurance and acceptance of mistakes to the weight-loss process.
In the worst case Some people will have plenty of everything, and others won't have enough of anything, and they cannot take the essential steps to losing weight, at least not this time around. Or you might not have what you need. You could be very low on motivation, for example, and having such low motivation affects all your functioning. Someone else's low motivation might not be so affecting, because she can still draw on her skills or confidence, or some other ability to make up for her low motivation.
The moral of the individual differences story is, when you want to lose weight, pay attention to your own strengths and weaknesses. Use what you can. Before you even start a diet, for example, make sure you don't lose sight of who you are and what you as an individual bring to the weight-loss table.

This was a delicious easy recipe. The flavor is fabulous. Easy on the salt - it doesn't need much.flag if inappropriate
I made this for a Valentine's dinner party and it got rave reviews. I made it the day before, and added just a splash more sherry when I reheated it to give it a brighter flavor.flag if inappropriate
Very easy to make but tastes great! I used my hand blender to puree it and left some chunks of mushroom so it was nice and hearty. It's tasty but not too heavy.flag if inappropriate
Made this for my second Christmas in a row--guests actually requested it before RSVPing! We loved it again, and I played with it this year by picking up a dried wild mushroom stir-fry mix. Re-moistened the mushrooms as the package instructed and used the reserved water in addition to the chicken stock. Wow!flag if inappropriate
Very good, easy to make. I added 1 portobello mushroom and some cremini instead of all button mushrooms and it turned out great. However, not very different from any other mushroom creams/soups.flag if inappropriate
Made this soup for a dinner party, everyone raved. I loved how easy it was! And yes, this soup does get better overnight. I used an immersion blender which saved some energy, and definitely make sure you don't use a cheap sherry.flag if inappropriate
This was really simple and delicious. I made it exactly as given and it turned out beautiful. It was all I could do not to polish it off myself.flag if inappropriate
Exceptional soup for a chilly autumn evening! I chose this recipe strictly on the previous reviews, and followed the directions exactly. For our tastes there's way too much butter, making the soup somewhat greasy and very rich. Chilling it and skimming off the excess butter solved the problem very nicely without affecting the taste one bit. Will definitely make this again, cutting back on the butter, and will experiment with different mixtures of mushrooms. Yum!!!flag if inappropriate
A very simple yet elegant and complex soup. One way to make it even easier to make is to put the mushrooms and onions in the quisinart before you fry them. That way you don't have to whiz them after the soup is hot.flag if inappropriate
I made this recipe because I was bored on a Sunday nite and felt like cooking. Since there was no planning I did not have all the listed ingrediants. Since my household is veggie I made a vegetable stock instead of using chicken stock. I used crimini mushrooms instead of white button. I like earthy flavors with my shrooms so I used several herbs from my garden in a herb ball instead of just parsley. And finally, not having even grocery store sherry on hand I used an excellent Marsala that my in-laws brought back from Italy. With all these alterations the recipe came out wonderdul and it was very simple. I look forward to trying this with sherry and some different shrooms. I also will try this with the truffle oil.flag if inappropriate

Hot topics and most-cited papers in scientific research, 2007-08
April 2009 (from the Apr. 30, Thomson Reuters Newsletter)
Science Watch takes its annual look back at the hottest of recent research.
Science Watch from Thomson Reuters tracks trends and performance in basic research year-round. In this highly anticipated annual review, it identifies researchers who accounted for the highest numbers of Hot Papers published over the preceding two years from 2008. It also highlights which papers published during 2008 were the most cited by year's end.
Kuo-Chen Chou of the Gordon Life Sciences Institute and Shanghai Jiao Tong University tops the Hot Paper rankings, with 17 published since 2007 covering a variety of sequencing tools for predicting protein location. Thirteen of these reports were co-authored with another of the featured scientists, Hong-Bin Shen.
The list of 2008's most-cited papers is striking for the prominence of physical-sciences reports in the top spots—especially those on iron-based superconductors, a topic that accounts for the number one paper and three others in the top ten. Theoretical physics, and specifically string theory, also registers strongly, with several papers examining recent refinements to M-theory.

The Police investigating the sex abuse scandal surrounding former BBC presenter Jimmy Savile say a total of more than 30 allegations of rape have been made against Jimmy Savile so far. A senior police officer in charge of Savile investigation revealed that the late BBC host had been accused of 31 rapes in seven different areas across the UK, warning of more arrests to come. Commander Peter Spindler said 450 individuals had made allegations against Savile, mostly of sexual assault. Ten weeks since the launch of Operation Yewtree, which looks at the claims against Savile, the police said they have recorded 199 crimes in 17 areas in which he is a suspect. "Our officers will continue to investigate allegations made against those who potentially can be brought to justice. More arrests nationally will be forthcoming," Spindler said. Six suspects have been arrested in connection with the investigation, among them singer Gary Glitter, publicist Max Clifford, comedian Freddie Starr and DJ Dave Lee Travis. BGH/SSM/HE

This is the second time I have purchased this leather name plate collar. My first was the light pink and I loved that color. This time I purchaed the metallic purple and I am not a huge fan of the shiney material but it's still nice. I recommend skipping the metallic colors and sticking with the normal dyed leather options. This collar does stretch out if your dog is a puller. Also, the rivets of the name plate on my first one rusted and broke off so keep this collar away from water. In general I'm happy with this product even though the first one only lasted me a year.

I love this collar. It is perfect. This is a great company to deal with!
Posted by MJ on 02/23/15 12:42 PM
Maybe needs a strap for excess "belt" but a beautiful durable product! Also the name plate is a bit difficult to read; I would suggest they make the font bold for easier viewing.
Posted by SAMANTHA on 02/05/15 8:41 PM
I ordered this collar with low expectations.
The collar my dog sported prior to this gem was but a simple, brown leather circlet spun from fine leather. It's lack of attractive qualities, however, were compensated by its longevity. The original collar managed to survive my dog's roughhousing for 5 years. But, alas! All good things must end.
However, when a door closes, another opens. And this new door happened to be made of solid gold. I ordered a large, golden collar, complete with my canine's name emblazoned on the equally golden tag permanently affixed to it's shiny, splendid surface. It is sturdy, with a thick hook by which I can attach a leash when I escort my dog to the park. The tag also displays my phone number so passersby can alert me of his highness's location should he escape the lands of our realm.
Oh, and when I took him to the park, all the other dogs were ashamed of their peasant collars. Iggy Azalea was playing. My dog only eats the fanciest of foods now.
Buy this collar.

These collars are fantastic quality! I have 3 dogs and got one of these collars for each dog. The collars come in a variety of colors and the name plate is very secure. I would definitely buy these again.
Posted by Carolina on 11/21/14 10:19 AM
I ordered the metalic red with a gun metal black nameplate, and it's really nice! I have a Cavalier king charles Spaniel and the small size fits perfect but is a bit thicker than I imagined. The nameplate is nice but it is the same thickness of the collar so I think that could be more delicate, maybe with greater length and smaller thickness. Anyway, it really worth it! And it was delivered extremely quickly , much sooner than I expected .
Posted by Unknown on 11/13/14 3:27 PM
I really like this collar. Seems to be well made and I'm hoping to get years of use from it. I like the look of both the collar and the name plate.

"Coming to Cedarville from Eastern Europe has allowed me to share another perspective with students who have never left the continental United States. After all, it's kind of hard to hide your ethnicity with a name like 'Asheritah,' and that opens doors to many in-depth conversations. It's cool to be able to explain to others the beauty found in diversity. The Cedarville students I've met are eager to learn about my Romanian culture without labeling me as 'different.' I definitely feel like part of the Cedarville student body, and it's great to be able to contribute something unique."

Vice President for Student Life
"The platter on which life serves us its delights is broken, and the sweets are spoiled. Jesus came to mend the broken and exchange the bitter for the sweet. As His ambassadors, we are to say what He says and do what He does. He clearly says that loving our brother is loving God. In our grace-enabled obedience, we 'Taste and see that the Lord is good!' So, let's eat; let's love!"

"Diversity and cross-cultural awareness are essential elements in preparing college students to engage the globalized world.
