Review: "Plimpton! Starring George Plimpton as Himself "
The PBS American Masters series is airing a biopic about the writer who made a career out of being a "professional amateur."
Left on the bookshelf: "My Discovery of America"
American audiences may find the travel narrative of the three months Vladimir Mayakovsky spent in the Western hemisphere in 1925 to be a more accessible literary contribution.

Aunt Poems
Poems About Aunts by Nieces and Nephews
Every member of the family has a unique role to play in the family unit. In every family these roles are different. A role that an aunt may play is that of helping parents getting along with their children. Much like grandparents, an aunt is not subjectively involved in what happens in the family. She is often able to see things in a more objective way. She also may be able to build relationships with her nieces and nephews and give them a place to get away from the family for a while. An aunt that is committed to her nieces and nephews can play an invaluable part in their lives.

Chat with Jimmie Johnson
Johnson capped off a six-race run which saw him overcome a 156-point deficit to win the Cup. Johnson ran a tight, careful race on Sunday, finishing ninth in the Ford 400 to clinch the title.
Johnson's first four seasons saw him fall agonizingly short of the title a number of times - he lost by eight points to Kurt Busch in 2004 and crashed at Homestead in 2005. He won this Nextel Cup in commanding fashion, however, beating second-place finisher Matt Kenseth by 56 points, and receiving a $6.2 million check to go along with it.
Send your questions now and join Johnson at 2:40 ET to chat live.
Jimmie Johnson (2:40 PM)
I'm here and ready for your questions!
Bob McBride(Elk Grove Village,IL)
Jimmie, after talladega was there any doubt in your mind that you would not win this championship?
Jimmie Johnson (2:41 PM)
I thought we missed an opportunity to catch the 31. I thought he was going to be the driver to beat.
Scott (Amite, Louisiana)
What goes through your mind as you are driving around the track, knowing that if you wreck, your day is over? I'm sure you were being very careful yesterday, considering what was at stake. And congratulations...Jeff Gordon is my favorite, but you are a real close second.
Jimmie Johnson (2:42 PM)
I was being smart. I was forced to race the way the day unfolded.
Congrats on the championship -- you deserve a vacation. Do you have any plans for the offseason?
Jimmie Johnson (2:43 PM)
Go to Paris and race in the Race of Champions over there. Then a little island vacation over Christmas and New Years.
Keith Murray (Avera, GA)
Congrats!! What was going through your mind while sitting under the red flag yesterday and how did you keep yourself composed to close the deal?
Jimmie Johnson (2:44 PM)
I was really calm. It didn't take much to stay composed. I'm not why. I was just really relaxed.
Maegen, Dallas TX
Congrat's Jimmie! 2 Quick questions for you - Did Earl ever sing for you (he promised us he would when we met him in Charlotte) and are you going to have the XM show w/ Marty again next year?
Jimmie Johnson (2:44 PM)
No he hasn't! Still hasn't! Yes, we will be back again next year.
Armando, Anaheim, California
Dear Jimmie, Now that you have won all the majors, and a championship, What is your next goal in racing?
Jimmie Johnson (2:45 PM)
I guess to win another one!
Tim (San Diego)
Who's decision was it to have you using a pick-axe in the Sports Center commercial?....
Jimmie Johnson (2:45 PM)
That was all ESPN!
Sully (Quincy, MA)
Congrats on the big win......If you could only pick ONE driver who was the most competitive throughout the entire Chase, would it be Tony Stewart or someone else?
Jimmie Johnson (2:46 PM)
I think Stewart was but he wasn't in the Chase. As far as Chase guys, I was more concerned with 17 than anyone else.
Erin (Hoboken, NJ)
Are you planning on running the 24 hour Daytona race this year?
Jimmie Johnson (2:47 PM)
Yes. I'm working on it now.
Johnathan Portsmouth, Virginia
Do you believe that Car of Tomorrow change the way you and your team will perform? And if so, what changes do feel will happen.
Jimmie Johnson (2:51 PM)
NASCAR has really tightened the rules with this new car. It is going to be a whole new learning experience for the teams. It's very differnt from what we have in todays car.
Jason Thigpen - Kent, OH
Congratulations, Jimmie! After winning this championship, do you consider yourself to be the most elite driver in NASCAR? Also, how does it feel to know that you can handle the stick better than Jeff Gordon?
Jimmie Johnson (2:52 PM)
This year we won the big prize so it is an honor to be the best.
laurie callicoon ny
first of all CONGRAGULATIONS... you so deserve it. second i would like to know if it has all sunk in yet and what is the next week like for you(media,conferences etc...)? thank you
Jimmie Johnson (2:52 PM)
It hasn't really sunk in yet. It will be a great offseason reflecting on all this.
Claxton Georgia
Are you married?
Jimmie Johnson (2:52 PM)
Definitely married!
Dan, Philadelphia, PA
How long are you going to wait befor you start thinking about next year?
Jimmie Johnson (2:53 PM)
It's been a popular question. I'll let the team worry about it! I'm still enjoying this year!
Jimmie, just wanted to say you've been the best driver in NASCAR since you came onto the scene and you really deserved to get that championship. Can you tell us what it will be like to work with both Casey Mears and Jeff Gordon at Hendrick Motorsports next year?
Jimmie Johnson (2:54 PM)
It's going to be great being teammates with Casey again. We were teammates before for a short time and it was great. Jeff is Jeff. He's a four-time champ.
Carl (Richmond, VA)
Will you be nervous making your speech at the banquet in NYC?
Jimmie Johnson (2:54 PM)
I'm more nervous about that than anything else.
DupontFan (Atlanta, GA)
Any plans on owning a Busch or Cup team in the future?
Jimmie Johnson (2:55 PM)
No. I'd rather be a driver than dealing with the headaches of being a team owner.
Earl, Atlanta, GA
Cograts Jimmie-- you earned it for sure. I was sondering what kind of music you celebrated with last night? I have read somewhere that you are a big Bela Fleck & the Flecktones fan....
Jimmie Johnson (2:55 PM)
I had to hear We Are The Champions!
Are you still mad about what happened with Brian when he wrecked you & Dale?
Jimmie Johnson (2:56 PM)
I understood the circumstances then and got over it a long time ago.
Brigid Chicago, IL
Congratulations Jimmie! Are you going to write your own speech, or does a PR person write it for you?
Jimmie Johnson (2:57 PM)
I made a mistake my rookie year letting someone write a speech for me so I'm writing my own this time.
Hal (Barre, VT)
Were you at all worried when Jr. was in front with the quickest times and you were holding steady around 15th?
Jimmie Johnson (2:58 PM)
We had some problems early in the race that had us in the middle of the pack. I was more focused on working my way forward than anything else.
Golly: (Las Vegas, NV)
Have you gotten a call from President Bush yet?
Jimmie Johnson (2:58 PM)
No! I hope he has other things to worry about!
Josh, (Charlotte, NC)
Awesome season, congrats Jimmie! Any BIG plans for that BIG $6.2 million? Are you going to take the whole team out of what?
Jimmie Johnson (2:59 PM)
Try to get it from Mr. Hendrick. He has it!
Aaron (Bangor, ME)
Hey Jimmie, congrats on the title. You were long overdue, that's for sure. Now, how to plan on celebrating the title, if you haven't already?
Jimmie Johnson (2:59 PM)
We had a big nighth last night. I'm just trying to enjoy the whole experience over the offseason.
Ray, Boston MA`
Jimmie, If there's one area you'd like to improve on the most for next season, what would it be? Short tracks? Superspeedways? Mile 1/2? road Course?

If he was in his underwear I would be running the other way.
Mark (NYC)
Do you feel there should be a cap on the number of Busch races you guys are allowed to run?
Jimmie Johnson (3:02 PM)
If we had a full field I would say yes, but if the Cup guys weren't there I don't think we would have a full field.
Mike, Toronto, ON
Jimmie, great job racing this season. I'm just wondering if after the race you were able to make it to a TV to watch the end of the Grey Cup from Winnipeg?
Jimmie Johnson (3:02 PM)
Nope! I was occupied!
Jennifer, Orlando, FL
Hey Jimmie - just gotta say congratulations. I was there when you won Daytona in February and when you earned the trophy last night. So...this was a pretty amazing year. What do you plan to do for an encore in 2007?
Jimmie Johnson (3:03 PM)
I'm not thinking that far ahead just yet.
Al, Uniondale, NY
Will you be soing more commercials now that you are the Champ?

Jimmie Johnson (3:07 PM)
Nothing that I know of as of right now.
Zak (Poughkeepsie, New York)
Is there any ongoing beef between you and Tony Stewart? Or is it all respect there? You guys seem to clash, in more ways than one.

I'm building an eCommerce site using eShop and need to have thumbnails that are all the same size. I would prefer them to be padded, not cropped or distorted.
Does anyone know how to get the Media Library to pad thumbnails instead of cropping them or distorting them. I want thumbnails that include the whole picture without distortion. I know I can do it manually in Photoshop, but that is tedious.
Is there a plugin that does this or a place I can hook into the thumbnail process to add the code?
At present I'm using Javascript to pad the thumbnails to the right aspect ratio, but it sometimes causes very poor performance on the iPad.

Dinners on the farm, literally: PB chefs featured in Swank's upcoming affairs
- 10:00 am Monday, September 28th, 2015 by M.M. Cloutier
Aaaah…Dining alfresco on a farm under the stars, with live musical entertainment and a multi-course meal prepared in view by a team of well-known and affable chefs.
That's but a glimpse of the 2015-2016 series of annual down-on-the-farm dining events planned by an area hydroponic produce-grower that South Florida chefs, including several chefs in Palm Beach, rely on for perfection: Swank Specialty Produce in Loxahatchee Groves.
This season's December-through-April dinner events along Swank's farm, with hosts Jodi and Darrin Swank, are scheduled to feature scads of chefs, sommeliers and mixologists hailing from Palm Beach Gardens to Miami.
And more than a few of them are from Palm Beach restaurants and resorts.

Is there one ideal wine to pair with Thanksgiving's all-over-the-map blend of flavors?
- 8:36 pm Tuesday, November 19th, 2013 by M.M. Cloutier
If you think about a traditional Thanksgiving feast—turkey (white and dark meat), sweet yams, tart cranberries, herby and savory stuffing and more—choosing a single wine that marries with so many flavors and textures would seem darn near impossible, at least to those of us who enjoy wine, but lack formal training in the ways of the grape.
Richard Paladino, resident sommelier at downtown West Palm Beach's Virginia Philip Wine Shop & Academy (101 N. Clematis St.; www.virginiaphilipwineshopacademy.com), concurs: "There are so many different savory and sweet spices with a Thanksgiving meal, which can be a challenge if you're trying to choose one [More]

Works as advertised. Admin console still accessible by going to /wp-admin or whatever you have setup.
One note is that you will need to disable any caching plugins you have. Perhaps this was Seth's problem, below. In my case, I had WP Super Cache installed and that was superseding this. After disabling WP Super Cache, this worked as intended.
Extremely simple but perfect for what I needed: if visitors are not logged in you're redirected to a specific url where I have a landing page. Thanks for making it so simple, this plugin is great!

By DR. ANNE E. BURNLEY, Kimbrough Ambulatory Care CenterOctober 15, 2009
Handshakes have reportedly been around since the birth of civilization and were originally a way to prove that you had no weapons in your hand when you met someone new.
We now know that our hands do indeed harbor tiny weapons in the form of germs that are invisible to the naked eye.
When someone with the flu sneezes or coughs without covering their mouth and nose, the virus is sprayed out in tiny airborne droplets that settle on surfaces, or may travel three to five feet before hitting the ground.
The flu virus can survive on a phone headset or a computer keyboard for up to eight hours. Contaminated hands can spread the flu virus during a handshake. While a face-to-face conversation could result in infection, so too, could touching a contaminated door knob or telephone handset and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth without first washing your hands.
In the face of the H1N1 influenza A (H1N1 flu) pandemic and the upcoming flu season, ditching the handshake for a smart salute or an elbow nudge is not a bad idea. Even "La bise," the much loved cheek-to-cheek peck with which the French say hello or goodbye, may have to go, at least for now, for fear of spreading H1N1 flu.
If touching can't be avoided, an elbow nudge is safer than a fist-bump, which is probably safer than a handshake, which in turn is better than a hug or, at worst - a kiss.
There are going to be instances in which a handshake cannot be avoided without creating a scene or embarrassing the person offering a hand.
Make sure you wash your hands or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer to kill any germs on your hands as soon as possible after the handshake and before touching your eyes, nose, mouth or another unsuspecting person.
Hand washing is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Despite its proven health benefits, many people don't practice it as often as they should.
Good hand-washing techniques include washing your hands with soap and clean warm running water for 20 seconds (as long as it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" twice) or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Alcohol-based hand rubs significantly reduce the number of germs on the skin and are fast acting.
Throughout the day, you accumulate germs on your hands through contact with people or other contaminated surfaces. If you don't wash your hands frequently enough, you can infect yourself with these germs by touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
According to experts at the Mayo Clinic, antimicrobial wipes are just as effective as soap and water in cleaning your hands but aren't as good as alcohol-based sanitizers. It is important to note that some hand sanitizers do not contain alcohol and are not effective. The CDC recommends choosing products that contain at least 60 percent alcohol. If your hands are visibly dirty, however, wash with soap and water, if available, rather than a sanitizer.
So for this upcoming flu season, remember - saluting is good, "elbow bumps" and waving are perfectly acceptable, and so is just saying, "hi."

The Home School Community's New Offensive
Home school students and graduates this year are taking part in an historic movement that will change the shape of campaigning in Texas.
In the wake of the success of the THSC Watchmen program in 2013 the Texas Home School Coalition launched an unprecedented offensive for the 2014 election cycle. Interns admitted into the THSC Rangers in 2014 were directed to campaigns of candidates whom THSC determined to be champions of home schooling and parental rights, where they assisted the campaigns through block walking, phone banking, and data analysis, as well as other critical segments of the campaign.
In 2014 the THSC Rangers were a significant force in the election cycle. In 2016 THSC is working to plant Rangers clubs around the state that will teach students about the political process, train them to understand public policy, and get them involved politically at the local level to make a difference in their state. If you are interested in helping start a club in your local area then make sure to fill out the form below.
THSC Rangers interns will gain a real-world understanding of our election process in Texas and political experience that cannot be gained through classroom educational methods. Rangers will report back to THSC with their progress at predetermined intervals. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will not only be an extremely valuable educational experience but will also be crucial in THSC's efforts to elect officials who will defend home schooling and parental rights. THSC Rangers may even receive college credit, along with other future opportunities, for some of their work. Register today!
The THSC Rangers program set off with the ambitious goal of finding, vetting, and directing more than 1,000 interns into home school-friendly political campaigns across the state. The THSC Rangers is a never-before-seen asset, with incredible potential, that the home schooling community is gearing up to wield. Applicants for the THSC Rangers are reviewed based on their skill sets, political savvy, and understanding of conservative issues. Applicants are not required to have previous political experience in order to participate.
THSC vetted nearly 600 candidates for the 2014 election cycle, and endorsed a total of 130 candidates. For a full list of endorsements go to THSC.org/endorsements
Out of the 130 candidates whom THSC has supported, 97 won in the general election and will serve in the legislature in 2015.
74.6% of the candidates that THSC has supported won their elections.
THSC has initiated over 475 Rangers across the state in both volunteer and full time paid positions.
The THSC Rangers have focused their efforts on 24 key races so far throughout the state.
At least 18 THSC Rangers have gone on to take full or part time positions working with campaigns or political consultants.
This year THSC launched an impressive effort to help defend Texans' rights all across the state. This effort came in the form of the THSC Rangers program, through which we recruited almost 500 (or "475") interns, chosen for their knowledge and their principles of conservatism, who assisted with the campaigns of candidates whom we know […]
With the runoff elections behind us, life in Texas has reached a coasting speed for most politically savvy activists. However, for some of us this is really just the calm before the storm. With special elections filling the interim between the Primary and the General Election, even the calm can still be far from restful. […]
The THSC Rangers Program is being used to equip the home schooling community to be an unstoppable force for the 2014 election cycle. With the help of the THSC Rangers, the 2014 Primaries were a monumental success for Texas home schoolers. The requests for Rangers from the political community were extensive, and the effects could […]

Derek Hough and Sofia Vergara Get "Footloose" at a Post-Emmy Party! [VIDEO]
Posted August 27th, 2014 @ 7:21am by Chilli Amar
Sofia Vergara is known as the life of the party. She was spotted at a post-Emmy party Monday night dancing with Derek Hough. If you look closely at the photo above, you can see a nip slip...but she didn't care. Sofia and Derek had a blast dancing to "Footloose"...and I had fun watching them in the video below. I think she needs to be a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars."

I recently purchased 2 of the Stansport Star-Lite 2 person Back Pack tents and had both good and bad experiences. We recently took our tents on a Boy Scout overnight backpacking trip and were pleased with how small the tents pack up. The weight is good and the tents breathe very well. The only problem I had was that when I was packing the tent up, the elastic in one of the poles snapped, leaving me with an unusable tent. It was kind of disappointing having this happen after only one use. I'm not sure if this is a case of you get what you pay for, or just got that one bad pole. In general, I like the tent and we will see how Stansport's customer service is. Will update later. Hopeful
Overall this tent is acceptable for the price. Without the rain fly almost the entire tent is screen mesh, so the air flow and ability to lay back and see the stars without being bothered by the bugs is great. Honestly I do think the tent weighs more than it is advertised. The actual weight is a tad over 6lbs, so if your backpacking you may want to consider that. The tent is also difficult to set up for one person. The long segmented tent poles are awkward and its tricky to get them to feed through the tent right without the poles coming apart. IMHO this is a warm weather tent and is not for colder nights. The tent has enough room for two people to sleep comfortable but you may want to leave your gear outside. The vestibule is big enough to stash your boots/shoes, but there was no way our pack would fit under it. We have used this tent 5 or 6 times and it held up to a mild rain storm without leaking, but I wouldn't trust it in a heavy downpour. For $40-$45 this tent is a good deal
This tent is a fantastic value but is not light enough for easy backpacking. That's partly due to it being made of substantial (not flimsy) material and because the standard poles are fiberglass (heavier than aluminum ones that are a separate but hard to find and expensive upgrade). Without the rainfly on, the top is open and airy and affords a great view of the sky. With the fly on, you have plenty of sheltered vestibule area outside the screened part of the tent but out of the weather for backpacks, shoes, etc. The sleeves that the poles go through are a little tricky to figure out the first time but part of the fun of camping is to use your brain to solve little problems with your gear or campsite. You just have to remember that the poles that start off on the bottom of one side (like the front of the tent) go through the top sleeve on the other side (back side) of the tent's top -- that is the poles cross over each other. The other tip is that you should shorten the shock cords that go through the poles by about a foot so the poles assemble tighter and are less likely to come apart going through the pole sleeves. Great tent for the money.
I have been looking for a lightweight tent but didn't want to pay the price that most places want for a lightweight tent. This price was very competitive. The tent is easy to put up and packs small. I like how the fly extends out from the tent by the front door so I have room to keep my stuff dry while not having it take up room in the tent.
I was looking for a tent that's folds compact and this one fits the bill, great to use it in humid weather since the body of the tent is mesh or you can throw the full fly.
I'm going to get the negative out of the way first so I can gush about this tent. The tent is not at all easy to assemble (too many fabric pockets, flimsy segmented tent poles that like to come apart right when you're trying to get them through the longer fabric sections), and the instructions are horrid. There are no pictures, and proper assembly is not detailed well or clearly enough. Also, the instructions mentioned an extra pole that was not included or needed (the "shorter rain fly pole"). For anyone thinking about getting this tent, just throw away the instructions. What you need to do is to lay the tent flat, and one at a time push the tent poles through the orange fabric tubes, following the gray fabric lines that will criss-cross. When you push the second tent pole through, make sure that it crosses the first either over or under BOTH times they cross. It helps a great deal to have a partner help as you raise the tent and secure it into the holes at the four corners. Then you tie the little ties at each end, securing the crossed poles. Then you attach the rain fly, which has hooks at the end that you can hook to the other hole at the four corners, and make sure you align the zipper to the "door" of the tent. Voila. You also will want to buy at least four strong tent poles, as the ones provided are just too flimsy to even think about (you'll want four for the corners and one for the back of the fly to keep water from sneaking in during a rain). Now for the positive. It is quite spacious for how small it packs (which is delightfully small, and easy to repack if you pay attention to how it is factory packed), and the mesh is GREAT for being able to breathe at night and not be baked out of the tent in the morning. My sweetheart and I can comfortable sleep in our bed roll, with both of our backpacks inside (granted, neither of us are particularly tall, so be advised that this may not be suitable for two taller or larger people). The best part is that it stays completely dry during a heavy storm. Last week I tried it out when it stormed all night long, and I was dry as a bone. Definitely something to look for in a good tent, and the reason I gave it full marks for value and expectations. I subtracted a star for difficulty of use. Lastly, I would like to thank Walmart staff for their customer service. A few days before I was hoping to receive this in the mail I got an e-mail saying that shipping was delayed. I responded with a plea to speed up the process if possible, as I needed it for a class that involved a great deal of outside work. The tent came in the mail two days later. Thanks!
This tent weighed a full pound more than was listed in the specs. That is alot of extra weight if you are using it for a backpacking tent, which is what i bought it for. Other than being too heavy, the tent was just fine!
It's a real nice little tent. Easy to put together. However it came with the rain pole missing, and without it the rain cover was touching the tent causing water to sip in when it rained.
used this tent recently and it worked great, full fly is really nice.
This tent weighs 1.3 pounds more than advertised. As soon as I received it, I removed it from the box and weighed it. I only weighed the items required for set-up (no stuff-sack, ties, or gear bags). Still it came out 26% heavier than the listed 5 lbs. I can get cheaper tents, even bigger tents, for over 6 lbs. So, at best, this is average-to-below-average for a backpacking tent. Too heavy if you ask me. The shock-cord inside the poles looked extremely flimsy, btw. If continually jostled in a backpack while hiking, I don't think this cordage would last.
This tent is great for camping. I like the fact that it is mostly screen so I can fully experience the outdoors. I also like the fact that it's quite roomy. But, it's definitely not a backpacking tent -- it's just too heavy. The poles have so many metal joints, which makes it more durable, but also very heavy. I'm going to be happily using this when I car camp for sure.
I needed a cheap, light-weight tent to take on a backpacking trip for work. Had I been able to spend more money, I would not have purchased this tent. If my trip would have lasted more than 5 days, this tent would not have been ideal. However, for the amount I paid, I was satisfied with this product.
Set up was easy,big door, good amout of room,can't wait to go camping with it.
Overall everything came in an like little smaller tha what i thought better buy for the buck kinda dont like the stakes that came an fiberglass poles are heavy tho the no see mesh makes it easy for rainfly to attach but if u wanting a light pack gear tent it close enough to adjust
A little difficult to set up your first time, but even after messing up and re-doing the entire thing it still took only about 10 minutes. Sometimes the stakes do not hold the rain fly down as well as other tents, but meets expectations for the price. Very lightweight and fits back into the original bag with plenty of extra space. However, the "no-see-um" mesh being the only thing besides the rain fly to separate you from the out doors can make it chilly, so I would recommend this as a summer only tent. Otherwise an excellent product for the price and I would absolutely recommend this to a friend who does light summer camping.
Not the easiest tent to put up. Otherwise met my expectations well..
This was my first tent and camping experience in life. and I managed to install it very easily in 10 min. It is very spacious for two people. only problem was, one of the six metal pieces bended while I was trying to put it into ground. I would suggest to be careful when u do this.
The tent is ok it seems like it would hold up in a strong wind , the elastic in the poles are to long , shortened them up and they are fine , oh yeah the rain fly could have extended a little farther in the front but i think it's going to be a good tent
A Little Bundle but a great tent....Roomy, Fit My Air Mattress with ease easy to set up and a low price....worth the money
Very difficult for one person to assemble. Segmented rods are WAY TOO LONG. After it's up, there's a four foot depression along the top that will only collect rain as it falls.

Characterization of Cure Kinetics and Physical Properties of a High Performance, Glass Fiber-Reinforced Epoxy Prepreg and a Novel Fluorine-Modified, Amine-Cured Commercial Epoxy.
Date: December 2003
Creator: Bilyeu, Bryan
Description: Kinetic equation parameters for the curing reaction of a commercial glass fiber reinforced high performance epoxy prepreg composed of the tetrafunctional epoxy tetraglycidyl 4,4-diaminodiphenyl methane (TGDDM), the tetrafunctional amine curing agent 4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone (DDS) and an ionic initiator/accelerator, are determined by various thermal analysis techniques and the results compared. The reaction is monitored by heat generated determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and by high speed DSC when the reaction rate is high. The changes in physical properties indicating increasing conversion are followed by shifts in glass transition temperature determined by DSC, temperature-modulated DSC (TMDSC), step scan DSC and high speed DSC, thermomechanical (TMA) and dynamic mechanical (DMA) analysis and thermally stimulated depolarization (TSD). Changes in viscosity, also indicative of degree of conversion, are monitored by DMA. Thermal stability as a function of degree of cure is monitored by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The parameters of the general kinetic equations, including activation energy and rate constant, are explained and used to compare results of various techniques. The utilities of the kinetic descriptions are demonstrated in the construction of a useful time-temperature-transformation (TTT) diagram and a continuous heating transformation (CHT) diagram for rapid determination of processing parameters in the processing of prepregs.

Development of a Novel Grease Resistant Functional Coatings for Paper-based Packaging and Assessment of Application by Flexographic Press
Date: August 2004
Creator: Brown, Robert W.
Description: Recent commercial developments have created a need for alternative materials and methods for imparting oil/grease resistance to paper and/or paperboard used in packaging. The performance of a novel grease resistant functional coating comprised of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium tetraborate pentahydrate (borate) and acetonedicarboxylic acid (ACDA) and the application of said coating by means of flexographic press is presented herein. Application criteria is developed, testing procedures described, and performance assessment of the developed coating materials are made. SEM images along with contact angle data suggest that coating performance is probably attributable to decreased mean pore size in conjunction with a slightly increased surface contact angle facilitated by crosslinking of PVA molecules by both borate ions and ACDA.

Charge Interaction Effects in Epoxy with Cation Exchanged Montmorillonite Clay and Carbon Nanotubes.
Date: May 2005
Creator: Butzloff, Peter Robert
Description: The influence of charge heterogeneity in nanoparticles such as montmorillonite layered silicates (MLS) and hybrid systems of MLS + carbon nanotubes was investigated in cured and uncured epoxy. Epoxy nanocomposites made with cation-exchanged montmorillonite clay were found to form agglomerates near a critical concentration. Using differential scanning calorimetry it was determined that the mixing temperature of the epoxy + MLS mixture prior to the addition of the curing agent critically influenced the formation of the agglomerate. Cured epoxy samples showed evidence of the agglomerate being residual charge driven by maxima and minima in the concentration profiles of thermal conductivity and dielectric permittivity respectively. A hybrid nanocomposite of MLS and aniline functionalized multi walled nanotubes indicated no agglomerates. The influence of environmentally and process driven properties on the nanocomposites was investigated by examination of moisture, ultrasound, microwaves and mechanical fatigue on the properties of the hybrid systems. The results point to the importance of charge screening by adsorbed or reacted water and on nanoparticulates.

Synthesis and Characterization of Crystalline Assemblies of Functionalized Hydrogel Nanoparticles
Date: December 2005
Creator: Cai, Tong
Description: Two series monodispersed nanoparticles of hydroxylpropyl cellulose (HPC) and functionalized poly-N-isopropylamide (PNIPAM) particles have been synthesized and used as building blocks for creating three-dimensional networks, with two levels of structural hierarchy. The first level is HPC nanoparticles were made from methacrylated or degradable cross-linker attached HPC. These nanoparticles could be stabilized at room temperature by residual methacrylate or degradable groups are present both within and on the exterior of HPC nanoparticles. Controlled release studies have been performed on the particle and networks .The nearly monodispersed nanoparticles have been synthesized on the basis of a natural polymer of hydropropylcellulose (HPC) with a high molecular weight using the precipitation polymerization method and self-assembly of these particles in water results in bright colors. The HPC nanoparticles can be potential using as crosslinkers to increase the hydrogels mechanical properties, such as high transparency and rapid swelling/de-swelling kinetics. The central idea is to prepare colloidal particles containing C=C bonds and to use them as monomers - vinylparticles, to form stable particle assemblies with various architectures. This is accomplished by mixing an aqueous suspension of hydrogel nanoparticles (PNIPAM-co-allylamine) with the organic solvent (dichloromethane) to grow columnar crystals. The hydrogels with such a unique crystal structure behavior ...

Modifications of epoxy resins for improved mechanical and tribological performances and their effects on curing kinetics.
Date: May 2008
Creator: Chonkaew, Wunpen
Description: A commercial epoxy, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A, was modified by two different routes. One was the addition of silica to produce epoxy composites. Three different silane coupling agents, glycidyloxypropyl trimethoxy silane (GPS), -methacryloxypropyl trimethoxy silane (MAMS) and 3-mercaptopropyltriethoxy silane (MPS), were used as silica-surface modifiers. The effects of silica content, together with the effects of chemical surface treatment of silica, were studied. The results indicate that epoxy composites with silica exhibit mechanical and tribological properties as well as curing kinetics different than the pure epoxy. The optimum silica content for improved mechanical and tribological properties (low friction coefficient and wear rate) was different for each type of silane coupling agent. An unequivocal correlation between good mechanical and improved tribological properties was not found. Activation energy of overall reactions was affected by the addition of silica modified with MAMS and MPS, but not with GPS. The second route was modification by fluorination. A new fluoro-epoxy oligomer was synthesized and incorporated into a commercial epoxy by a conventional blending method. The oligomer functioned as a catalyst in the curing of epoxy and polyamine. Thermal stability of the blends decreased slightly at a high oligomer content. Higher wear resistance, lower friction coefficient and ...

Low Temperature Polymeric Precursor Derived Zinc Oxide Thin Films
Date: December 2006
Creator: Choppali, Uma
Description: Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a versatile environmentally benign II-VI direct wide band gap semiconductor with several technologically plausible applications such as transparent conducting oxide in flat panel and flexible displays. Hence, ZnO thin films have to be processed below the glass transition temperatures of polymeric substrates used in flexible displays. ZnO thin films were synthesized via aqueous polymeric precursor process by different metallic salt routes using ethylene glycol, glycerol, citric acid, and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) as chelating agents. ZnO thin films, derived from ethylene glycol based polymeric precursor, exhibit flower-like morphology whereas thin films derived of other precursors illustrate crack free nanocrystalline films. ZnO thin films on sapphire substrates show an increase in preferential orientation along the (002) plane with increase in annealing temperature. The polymeric precursors have also been used in fabricating maskless patterned ZnO thin films in a single step using the commercial Maskless Mesoscale Materials Deposition system.

Thermophysical, Interfacial and Decomposition Analyses of Polyhydroxyalkanoates introduced against Organic and Inorganic Surfaces
Date: December 2009
Creator: Dagnon, Koffi Leonard
Description: The development of a "cradle-to-cradle" mindset with both material performance during utilization and end of life disposal is a critical need for both ecological and economic considerations. The main limitation to the use of the biopolymers is their mechanical properties. Reinforcements are therefore a good alternative but disposal concerns then arise. Thus the objective of this dissertation is to investigate a biopolymer nanocomposite where the filler is a synthetically prepared layer double hydroxide (inorganic interface); and a biopolymer paper (organic interface) based coating or laminate. The underlying issues driving performance are the packing density of the biopolymer and the interaction with the reinforcement. Since the polyhydroxyalkanoates or PHAs (the biopolymers used for the manufacture of the nanocomposites and coatings) are semicrystalline materials, the glass transition was investigated using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and dielectric spectroscopy (DES), whereas the melt crystallization, cold crystallization and melting points were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to estimate crystallinity in the coated material given the low thermal mass of the PHA in the PHA coating. The significant enhancement of the crystallization rate in the PHA nanocomposite was probed using DSC and polarized optical microscopy (POM) and analyzed ...

Determination of Wear in Polymers Using Multiple Scratch Test.
Date: August 2004
Creator: Damarla, Gowrisankar
Description: Wear is an important phenomenon that occurs in all the polymer applications in one form or the other. However, important links between materials properties and wear remain illusive. Thus optimization of material properties requires proper understanding of polymer properties. Studies to date have typically lacked systematic approach to all polymers and wear test developed are specific to some polymer classes. In this thesis, different classes of polymers are selected and an attempt is made to use multiple scratch test to define wear and to create a universal test procedure that can be employed to most of the polymers. In each of the materials studied, the scratch penetration depth s reaches a constant value after certain number of scratches depending upon the polymer and its properties. Variations in test parameters like load and speed are also studied in detail to understand the behavior of polymers and under different conditions. Apart from polystyrene, all the other polymers studied under multiple scratch test reached asymptotes at different scratch numbers.

Measurement of Lattice Strain and Relaxation Effects in Strained Silicon Using X-ray Diffraction and Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction
Date: August 2007
Creator: Diercks, David Robert
Description: The semiconductor industry has decreased silicon-based device feature sizes dramatically over the last two decades for improved performance. However, current technology has approached the limit of achievable enhancement via this method. Therefore, other techniques, including introducing stress into the silicon structure, are being used to further advance device performance. While these methods produce successful results, there is not a proven reliable method for stress and strain measurements on the nanometer scale characteristic of these devices. The ability to correlate local strain values with processing parameters and device performance would allow for more rapid improvements and better process control. In this research, x-ray diffraction and convergent beam electron diffraction have been utilized to quantify the strain behavior of simple and complex strained silicon-based systems. While the stress relaxation caused by thinning of the strained structures to electron transparency complicates these measurements, it has been quantified and shows reasonable agreement with expected values. The relaxation values have been incorporated into the strain determination from relative shifts in the higher order Laue zone lines visible in convergent beam electron diffraction patterns. The local strain values determined using three incident electron beam directions with different degrees of tilt relative to the device structure have ...

Modified epoxy coatings on mild steel: A study of tribology and surface energy.
Date: August 2009
Creator: Dutta, Madhuri
Description: A commercial epoxy was modified by adding fluorinated poly (aryl ether ketone) and in turn metal micro powders (Ni, Al, Zn, and Ag) and coated on mild steel. Two curing agents were used; triethylenetetramine (curing temperatures: 30 oC and 70 oC) and hexamethylenediamine (curing temperature: 80 oC). Variation in tribological properties (dynamic friction and wear) and surface energies with varying metal powders and curing agents was evaluated. When cured at 30 oC, friction and wear decreased significantly due to phase separation reaction being favored but increased when cured at 70 oC and 80 oC due to cross linking reaction being favored. There was a significant decrease in surface energies with the addition of modifiers.

Once integration is turned on and in effect, access restrictions on a wp-courseware course on a Membermouse site can't be removed. Deactivating the plugin has no effect.
Under certain conditions, some members who are given access to a course via this plugin will receive that access, and some members will not. It appears it has to do with when the member is initially created....if member exists before the course is created, you'll have this problem. If member is created after the course is created, you will be able to grant them access.
As a paid user of wp-courseware, I opened a support case, providing lengthy details about the problem with the integration plugin and a login to my site. About a day and half later I received a reply which did not address any of my concerns or provide any instructions other than giving me the code for integration plugin.

On a little-used practice field at the Carolina Panthers' training camp, right around the 25-yard line, there's an oddly shaped patch of dead grass about the size of a coffee table. I first noticed this weird little yellowish crop circle a few weeks ago on my first tour through Panthers camp. Then, as I traveled to other camps I saw similar bits of oddly worn turf all over the league. Intrigued (or perhaps out of column ideas three weeks before the start of the season), I decided to investigate.
It was 9:03 a.m. on Tuesday and the fog had just lifted off the Panthers' practice fields. The area was so still that the six fans standing on a nearby hill could actually hear crickets chirping. With the rest of the team busy on an adjacent field cramming in a few prepractice run-throughs, my eyes wandered to the Carolina crop circle and there was the answer.
I laughed out loud. Shoulda known.
Actually, it was the team's entire collection of special teamers: punters, kickers, holders and long snappers, all of them standing around in a circle like a coffee klatch straight out of "Desperate Housewives." They kept on like this, without a care in the world, for several minutes. And every once in a while, in between barfing his lungs out by a fence, tight end Dan Curley looked over at them with envy and sweat burning his eyes. In the last week of training camps, as the preseason mercilessly comes to a close, the grass is always greener (or, in this case, yellower) on the kickers' side of the field.
See, I've been watching them now for several weeks and as far as I can tell, NFL kickers prepare for the grueling regular season by stretching a lot, tying and retying their shoes, scratching their groins, adjusting their knee pads and spending lots and lots of time bouncing the football off the ground and back up to themselves.
"People think they're stealing money, is that what you're going to say?" asked Danny Crossman, Carolina's wildly successful special teams coach. "That's the constant line they get in camp from other players, 'Well it sure must be nice.' People see kickers standing around talking, wearing sneakers and those itty bitty shoulder pads and they think, 'Now that's a nice way to make a living.'"
Well, yeah. Exactly.
I mean, the only people kickers have outworked this summer are Cedric Benson and a certain columnist whose last name rhymes with lemming. On every team and in every training camp this summer, while pads cracked, coaches screamed and dreams and femurs snapped like dry twigs, I was always left to wonder would the dang kickers ever do anything?
Then suddenly, at 9:09, like spooked deer, Carolina's kickers burst into action.
By that I mean together they strolled 25 yards to join the rest of the team for some stretching exercises. At 9:15, when the rest of the team exploded into smaller groups for some high-octane warm-up drills, kicker John Kasay waltzed 25 yards back to his perch, his hands clasped gently behind his back like a proper English gent. In training camp lingo this is what's known as a "kicker windsprint." (If he was actually wearing his helmet, then it would be categorized as a "suicide.")

Emerging Stocks Rise, Led by Eastern Europe; Real Strengthens
Emerging-market stocks rose, with eastern European shares posting the biggest three-day rally in nine months, as faster-than-estimated growth in Europe's economy and rising commodities eased concern exports will slow.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index climbed 1 percent to 968 by 5 p.m. in New York. MSCI's gauge of east European shares jumped 4.1 percent, extending its rise in the past three days to 10 percent. Russia's Micex Index of shares rose 4.3 percent. The Mexican peso led gains in emerging market currencies, climbing 1.6 percent against the dollar as higher-than-forecast industrial production indicated the economy is recovering from the worst recession since the 1930s.
Gross domestic product in the 16 euro nations rose 0.2 percent from the fourth quarter, beating the 0.1 percent growth forecast of economists in a Bloomberg survey and spurring speculation the region's economy will overcome spending cuts by indebted countries. The MSCI emerging index has retreated 7.6 percent in the past month on concern the Greek debt crisis may spread and slow the global economic recovery.
"We're beginning to sniff around for opportunities again," Michael Dicks, the London-based head of research at Barclays Wealth, which oversees about $227 billion, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
The extra yield investors demand to own emerging-market debt over U.S. Treasuries dropped for a fourth day, falling 13 basis points to 2.78 percentage points, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s EMBI Global Index. The so-called yield spread may fall to as low as 2.25 percentage points by the end of 2010, JPMorgan's Joyce Chang wrote in a report yesterday.
'Minimal Damage'
"The positive fundamental and technical support factors for EM remain intact, with minimal damage from the Euro area debt crisis," wrote Chang, JPMorgan's global head of emerging markets and credit research in New York.
Russia's OAO GMK Norilsk Nickel climbed 4.7 percent as nickel prices advanced following the report on growth in the euro-area economy. OAO Gazprom jumped 3.8 percent as oil climbed above $76 a barrel before erasing its gain after a U.S. government report showed that inventories climbed for the 14th time in 15 weeks as refineries idled units.
Coal company OAO Raspadskaya rose 12 percent and power producer OAO OGK-4 jumped 15 percent after MSCI Inc. said the companies will be added to its benchmark Russia Index. New York-based MSCI, which announced semi-annual changes to its gauges yesterday, estimates more than $3 trillion of funds are benchmarked against its indexes globally. Changes to indexes can move share prices as passively managed funds buy and sell stocks to mirror the indexes.
Czech, Poland Rally
The Czech PX Index advanced 2.4 percent and the koruna strengthened 0.5 percent against the euro after the government said gross domestic product rose 1.2 percent from a year earlier, matching the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of nine economists.
Poland's WIG20 index climbed 1.1 percent. PZU SA, Poland's biggest insurer, jumped 15 percent on its first day of trading in Warsaw after investors bid for nine times more shares than were offered in Europe's biggest initial public offering since 2007.
Brazil's Bovespa index climbed 1.2 percent. The nation's retail sales rose 15.7 percent in March from a year earlier, the most since at least 2001. The increase exceeded the gain of 14 percent forecast by economists in a Bloomberg survey.
BM&FBovespa SA, the operator of Brazil's exchange, led gains on the Bovespa index after first-quarter profit climbed 25 percent as increased trading of derivatives bolstered sales.

We have a legacy system consists of class A, B and C. A is horrible and large. So is B. And C too!! (This is acknowledged within the company and we are trying to re-factoring them in the future).
The more scary thing is A and B extends C which they really shouldn't as they are not really the same thing. A developer (call him X) who did the coding admitted that he's done it this way so that A and B can use 'SOME' of the methods of C!
Now a client wants to update the legacy system and the change requires me to add the same change to A and B. What I can do is adding the change to C, so that A and B can see it. But if I do this I will be doing the same thing as X did.
What I have in mind is to write another class D, so A and B can have a D of their own and get the change. What do you think?
Thanks in advance!

Australian Regulator Cites Oil Leak for Qantas Blast
Dec. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Australia's aviation regulator said an oil leak in a Rolls-Royce Group Plc engine was the likely cause of an explosion that forced a Qantas Airways Ltd. Airbus SAS A380 to make an emergency landing in Singapore last month.
An oil fire was "central to the engine failure," the Australian Transport Safety Bureau said in its preliminary report on the Nov. 4 explosion. While investigations are continuing, the regulator has issued a safety recommendation for Rolls-Royce and airlines to carry out checks and modify engines where the issue appears.
A misaligned pipe caused by a manufacturing defect in the Trent 900 powerplant caused the oil leak that ultimately led to an explosion that sent shrapnel through the plane's wing, the ATSB said. The regulator said it was satisfied with Qantas's actions, which included an immediate grounding of its six A380s following the explosion and inspections.
"Given no one was aware the potential problem existed, it is highly unlikely that any maintenance would have been able to establish the problem," ATSB Chief Commissioner Martin Dolan told reporters in Canberra today.
Rolls-Royce said in an e-mailed statement today the regulator's findings are "consistent" with its own public statements and the London-based engine-maker will continue to work with authorities to ensure compliance.
The engine explosion over Indonesia forced the Qantas A380 to make an emergency landing in Singapore. None of the 469 passengers and crew onboard were injured, the regulator said.
'Loud Bangs'
The flight crew reported hearing two "loud bangs" as the plane was still climbing after takeoff, with the aircraft's monitor showing an overheating warning for its number 2 engine turbine, the report said.
As the pilots reduced thrust in the engine, a radio call was made to Singapore's Changi airport indicating there may be a problem and fire extinguishers were deployed on the affected powerplant.
It took the crew about 50 minutes to complete all the procedures associated with the engine message and to test controllability of the plane before beginning a descent into Singapore less than two hours after takeoff.
"The aircraft wouldn't have arrived safely in Singapore without the focus and effective action of the flight crew," Dolan said today.
Flights Resumed
Qantas resumed passenger superjumbo flights on Nov. 27, and the carrier now has two in service.
The airline said it welcomed the ATSB's findings. The carrier has completed the new recommended checks on one of the planes back in service while inspections on the second have started, Sydney-based Qantas said in a statement today.
The carrier has replaced five engines to meet the latest standards and another 11 will also either need to be modified or changed, it said. Qantas said it "continues to work closely" with Rolls-Royce, Airbus and regulators on the Trent 900.
More than a dozen Australian investigators have been piecing together shrapnel from the explosion over Indonesia, with the regulator passing on its findings to counterparts in Europe and Singapore.
The ATSB expects to release the final report within a year of the incident, it said on its website.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure
- Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures
- Release Date: Aug 9, 1985
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Everything about Pee-wee's Big Adventure, from its toy-box colors to its superb, hyperanimated Danny Elfman score to the butch-waxed hairdo and wooden-puppet walk of its star and mastermind, Pee-wee Herman, is pure pleasure.
Inspired lunacy, Pee-wee's big adventure is one of the most inventive films in recent memory. This clever and wholly original work incorporates a wide variety of cinematic tools with a fresh and unique sense of style.
Burton's first feature revels in the weird, the unpredictable, the infantile and the absurd. A dazzling debut.
Pee- wee's Big Adventure is a shrewdly observed, deftly executed looney tune. [9 Aug 1985, p.42]
Pee-wee's Big Adventure goes up and down the hills of Pee-wee shtick, without much concern for things like cohesiveness and consistency. What makes it wear so well is the balance achieved between Pee-wee's nitwit nervousness and his pathetic optimism. [12 Aug 1985, p.35]
I'm completely unsure what else Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is about. I can tell you that 70 percent of moviegoers in their 20s and 30s will likely find this crazy production to be a barrel of fun, and frequently a barrel of laughs. A certain intelligence peeks through it all. [9 Aug 1985, p.68]
The wrong crowd will find these antics infantile and offensive. The right one will have a howling good time.
With all these safety features built in, this 1985 film is too well padded to qualify as genuinely radical wit, but in an even-toned, TV sort of way it's mildly amusing and inventive throughout.
If Pee-Wee wasn't the most engaging physical comedian since Dick Van Dyke, it would be disastrous. As it is, the opening works well enough to have viewers completely hooked by the time he sets out on the road, like Huck Finn, with his clothes wrapped up in a handerchief on a stick. [10 Aug 1985, p.E9]
