The results are mapped to finite baryo-chemical potentials. As an application of the model we make a prediction of deconfined matter with appropriate inclusion of strange quarks and consider pure quark stars.invited talk at Strangeness 2000, Berkeley; prepared version for the proceedings, 5 pagesNuclear Theorytext
