Rated 5 out of 5 by bpalmeriii Modern Fit is perfect The modern fit design is perfect and no other product matching the fit of these pants. My only complaint is there are no half size, so I need to get every pair hemmed. August 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Robin Besides Sizing everything was good I am size 34/30 and other high-end brands fit just great but this felt a little tight a little below waist where it needs to be buttoned up. Material is nice and comfy for a long office day. Easy to iron and wrinkles less. August 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ImSpecialKay The fit is great but very lightweight for winter... Husband says that the overall fit and comfort is excellent; however, he was expecting a heavier fabric. He is keeping them though. Regarding durability - time will tell... These would be GREAT pants for SUMMER wear - otherwise - he says that they're very good. January 10, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by RDNH great fit, but waistband is subpar The fit is a great fit, and I have purchased several from Macy's. This was first online purchase. The waistband was subpar, much poorer quality that the store bought slacks. They tended to roll over, even though the pants fit perfect. This is the first time I had an issue with Perry Ellis slacks, and I hope that it wasn't because I bought them online because the website is easy to use. December 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by WooPigSooie Perfect pants These pants fit perfectly. They fit so well, that my wife said they looked like they were made especially for me. January 30, 2013

The professor declared the will airtight
Absolutely awesome! Easy. Quick. An ease to my mind to have this will completed.
Kathleen C., Amanda Park, WA
Yes. Our team of experienced attorneys have designed the LegalZoom Last Will to meet the specific laws and requirements of each U.S. state.
Last Wills will be not admitted by a court unless the following criteria are met:
If you do not make a last will, state law will determine who gets your property. This process is called "intestate succession." In most states, your property would first be divided between your spouse and your children. If you are not married and have no children, your property would be distributed to your closest living relatives. If the administrator of your estate cannot find a living relative entitled to your property under the law, the property would go to the state.
Probate is the legal process through which the court decides how an estate will be divided. The court will look to your last will to decide how to distribute your property and will follow the will, unless it is successfully contested by your heirs.
Generally, if an estate includes real property, a formal probate action is required. However, in many states, if the estate is of minimal value or consists solely of personal property, probate is not required and other legal remedies are available.

Graceful and refined, easily recognized by its open crown of ground-sweeping branches. Leaves are light green above, grayish-green beneath. This willow grows especially well near water, reaches 30' - 40' tall, 35' spread. (zones 6-8)
Wildlife Value
The Weeping Willow provides browse food for big game, rabbits, and beaver. Deer and other big game will browse on it. It provides nesting sites for numerous small birds and mammals.
The Weeping Willow is dramatic both in appearance and history. Few trees add as much grace to the landscape. Early in the history of interstate commerce, cuttings from this popular species were carried along the trade routes from China. Its occurrence along the Euphrates River eventually fooled the famous botanist, Linnaeus, into thinking this was the Willow of biblical mention, so he gave it the scientific name of babylonica. Later, it was the shade of a Weeping Willow that helped comfort Napoleon during his exile on the Island of St. Helena. After Napoleon was buried under his favorite tree, cuttings from it became a valued prize among his admirers worldwide.
Weeping Willow grows well near water, yet has some drought tolerance.
The leaves of this tree are long and narrow, most between 2-1/2 and 6 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Slightly wider near the base. Light green with a finely toothed margin.
Flower Color
Yellow, borne on short catkins.
Bloom Time
April - May.
Fruit Description
This tree produces a fruit 1/4 inch in diameter, brown, leaves no litter to speak of.
Rate of growth refers to the vertical increase in growth unless specified differently. Rate, as is true for size, is influenced by numerous variables such as soil, drainage, water, fertility, light, exposure, ad infinitum. The designation slow means the plant grows 12" or less per year; medium refers to 13 to 24" of growth per year; and fast to 25" or greater.Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, by Michael Dirr.

What Up Fam
What up Fam,
This ya homie Ice Cube and this is my first blog on my website. We had to change website companies a few months back, and now I think we've worked out most of the kinks. You'll be able to see and hear about what's going on with me, my career and life "straight from the horse's mouth." I don't and will never have anyone blogging for me on this page.
I want to start off by saying, "Thank You!" for all your support over the years. I'm still here fighting the good fight. I don't plan on stopping no time soon. I always trip off artist who say they're going to retire. Retire? And do what? Go fishing? Fuck that. Right now I'm working on my next record, or CD if you 90's or download if you're 2010. I haven't decided on a title yet, but you'll be the first to know if you keep checkin' in on me. "Laugh Now, Cry Later" was my return record. "Raw Footage" was my street knowledge record and this new one is just a banger. I did a song the other day called "Drink the Kool-Aid"...sick lyrics if I do say so myself. Leaking songs all year, droppin' this summer.
Also working on a ESPN 30 for 30 documentary called "Straight Outta L.A." It's about how the Raiders influenced West Coast hip-hop and how West Coast hip-hop influenced the Raiders. The Raiders called L.A. home from 1982 to 1994 and the world would never be the same. Air date is sometimes in May.
Alot of ya'll wanna know why "The Janky Promoters" went straight to video. Dimension Films didn't have the money to promote the movie right and they didn't give me the chance to promote it myself. They just threw it out there "unfinished" for a quick advancement from Blockbuster Video. Hollywood is as janky as Russell Redds and Jellyroll sometimes. Me and Mike Epps took our own money and finished the movie...and you can see and buy our version, with the soundtrack and a t-shirt.
Anything you need to ask me regarding me, my career or this crazy world we living in. This is the place to do it. Hit me up anytime. Working on my next blog as we speak.
Stay up,

The light sensors work well for us, even though we are near a street light. The candles come on right at dusk and go off at dawn. The part that goes into the window was thin enough to bend to fit our odd windows so that all the candles are straight - but not so thin as to be cheap. The pewter color is nice. Overall, great product!

- Good Window Sash Fit
I love the light sensor feature. They fit well under the window sash and they do not keep the window from closing tightly. I especially like not having cords from the old window candles hanging in plain view. The LED feature is great too and I hope that I will not have to replace batteries very often.

WEST ORANGE - From West Orange P.D. - A two month and 10 day investigation into the robbery of the Firestone Federal Credit Union in West Orange in September of this year has culminated in the arrest of 26 year old Justin Samuel Mink of Orange County.
Watch KFDM News at 6 for more.
The FBI has filed a federal complaint with United States Attorney's Office as a result of West Orange Investigators forwarding their findings into the investigation to that office. Justin Mink was arrested on November 11, 2012 and is currently in the Orange County Jail on an unrelated charge and is awaiting transfer to the US Marshall's Service for the robbery of the credit union.
Back on September 6th 2012, Officers responded to a report of a Robbery at the Firestone Credit Union in West Orange. An unknown white male had entered the business brandishing a shotgun demanding money from the tellers. The male was described as being about 6 foot tall and weighing approximately 200 lbs. The suspect was wearing dark colored overalls, a maroon mask covering his face and head, sunglasses and gloves on his hands. After getting an undisclosed amount of money, the suspect left the business and was last seen running behind Aaron's Rent to Own on Macarthur Dr. The West Orange Police Dept. was assisted in the investigation by Officers from the Orange Police Dept., the Orange County Sheriff's Office, the Vidor Police Dept., Pinehurst Police Dept., Bridge City Police Dept. and the FBI.

Sam Wong's new house is a study in happy contradictions.
It has the openness of contemporary design but the look and feel of traditional Arts and Crafts. While space is abundant and flows easily, it has been parcelled out with precision, and not a square inch is wasted. Despite the coolness of an early fall day, the 3,500 square feet of living space feels cosy, from basement to third-floor loft. Yet no furnace hums, no fire crackles, no electrical coils glow.
It's these apparent contradictions that make this home work for Wong, a discerning man of science who did his research and knew exactly what he wanted.
Finished this past summer, the house not only reflects Wong's uncompromising standards for convenience and luxury, but also his goal that it be a net-zero structure, consuming no more energy than it produces.
"I've always felt it's important to respect the environment and do my part," says Wong. "My hope is if I show by example, others will follow."
Wong waited until he found just the right lot with the right sun exposure, a few blocks from his office on the University of Alberta's campus. Armed with a binder full of must-haves, he met with builder Peter Amerongen and designer Trevor Hoover at Habitat Studio, well known for creating net-zero houses. "Sam walked in with a copy of Solplan Review, which is generally read only by energy nerds," says Amerongen. "When I saw that, I knew we were going to get along just fine."
From the street, solar panels spanning one side of the steep gabled roof are scarcely noticeable. What catch the eye are the characteristic Arts and Crafts columns on stone piers, which support the covered veranda, and the striking entryway with its multi-paned windows surrounding a massive wood door.
Inside, the foyer is high and wide with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, the curve softening otherwise masculine lines. Slate tiles at the front entry and kitchen area are surprisingly warm underfoot and transition to wide-plank hickory flooring. Natural wood detailing around doors and windows carries the eye as space flows easily between the open living and dining rooms. Separating the two is a double-sided fireplace. Cove ceilings with concealed lighting add architectural interest. Light and heat flood in from large multi-paned windows located all along the south and west walls.
To bring light to those areas of the house without outside exposure, traditional transom windows have been added above interior doorways. Three of these have stylish stained glass inserts.
Open to the dining area is the upscale kitchen, loaded with features to set any gastronome drooling, including an energy-efficient induction cooktop. What sets this kitchen apart is the well-designed workflow that separates the washing-up from food-prep areas, with hand-washing stations at both. Natural cherrywood cabinets and built-ins located in the kitchen, bathrooms, office and around the fireplace were fashioned by Zebra Custom Furniture. "You know the work is well done when workers from other trades comment on the quality," says Wong.
In addition to the large master suite on the second level, there are two Jack 'n' Jill bedrooms, with a shared bathroom between them. The nearby laundry room is cleverly equipped with fold-away drying racks from Lee Valley to save energy use. Also on this floor is a handsome built-in library bench flanked by two large bookshelves.
There are clever storage options throughout, but the third-floor loft has one of the most interesting: custom-built box-carts on wheels that travel along a track inside the eaves. Wong's idea, they make this storage area more accessible.
In the basement are a fourth bedroom, full bath, workout area and family room with a highly efficient wood stove. Deep-welled windows let in lots of natural light. Also on this level is the utility room, where much of the eco-magic takes place. Here a geothermal unit quietly draws heat from deep within the Earth. Finally, a cold room under the front porch, insulated but not heated, stores root vegetables without freezing.
LED lighting is installed throughout the house to reduce energy consumption, with control switches organized into light groupings. Solar tube lighting in the master dressing room and third-storey loft bring in more natural light.
Despite his conservation goals and practical, scientific mindset, Wong also has a sentimental side. He kept the door chimes from the old house because they were familiar and "it just felt right."
If he was starting over, would he do anything differently?
Not really, says Wong. Doing his homework first, and having the right builder meant getting it right. "I have friends who've had disastrous experiences, but mine couldn't have been better."
How the house works
Sam Wong's goal was to build a house with minimum impact on the environment, but in a traditional style.
"Actually that wasn't as difficult as you might think," says builder Peter Amerongen. "The important thing is to keep the basic shape simple. Here, the interest and articulation are incorporated in the porches and veranda, where they don't interfere (with the design elements needed for energy efficiency)." That and the geothermal heating meant that most of the requirements for building a net-zero-energy house were already in place, says Amerongen.
Geothermal heat comes from energy stored inside the Earth. And because the process to extract it requires no energy conversion, thermal efficiency is high. Even cold ground contains heat; below 20 feet (six metres) the temperature is consistently warm.
As backup sources of heat, Wong has a powerful wood-burning stove in the basement and two gas-powered fireplaces, one in the master bedroom and a double-sided fireplace in the living/dining rooms.
Windows strategically placed on the south and west sides of the house take advantage of ambient heating. They are key to creating a super energy-efficient building envelope, says Amerongen. "The ones in Sam's house are four times as efficient as those in most new houses." His are triple glazed, with argon in the cavities and two low-E coatings. Air-tight, 12-inch-thick walls filled with cellulose hold in the heat, resulting in an R-42 rating.
Hot-water usage is another important factor. Water is heated from solar panels on the roof and stored in an insulated holding tank in the basement that generally keeps it above 55 C. When the water temperature drops below that, an on-demand water heating system kicks in to boost the water temperature, heating only the water that is actually used.
Each month, precise energy performance data measurements are recorded. Overall the home has a Canadian Energuide rating of 95, meaning it is virtually self-sufficient, requiring little or no purchased heating. By comparison, most new homes built to code have a rating of 65 to 72, while a rating of 80 or over is considered excellent.
Even by international standards, Wong's house gets high scores. With 0.6 air changes per hour, it is just one-tenth of a percentage off the German passive house (or Passivhaus) standard of 0.5. Wong intends to apply for LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). It's a rating system recognized as the international benchmark in excellence for green building design.

Living with "Lincoln"
WTOP Film Critic Jason Fraley says "Lincoln" is a shot in the arm for Americans disillusioned with our political process.
Jason Fraley, WTOP film critic
WASHINGTON - Lord, he was born an Amblin man, and his career has been a tale of two directors ever since.
The Steven Spielberg pendulum has repeatedly swung between supernatural fantasy - "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981), "E.T." (1982), "Jurassic Park" (1993) - and gritty war history - "Schindler's List" (1993), "Saving Private Ryan" (1998), "Munich" (2005).
How fittingly ironic that "Lincoln" hits theaters on the 25th anniversary of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," which arrived on this exact date in 1977. Just 130 miles separate Wyoming's Devil's Tower from South Dakota's Mount Rushmore, where the face of our greatest president is carved into the mountainside.
Indeed, Abraham Lincoln was a mountain of a man, and Spielberg's "Lincoln" is a mountain of a movie. Does it get any better than today's most famous filmmaker (Spielberg) adapting the best presidential biography of our time ("Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin), starring today's greatest actor (Daniel Day-Lewis)?
Rather than tackle the entire biography, "Lincoln" screenwriter and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner ("Munich") smartly focuses his script on a small portion of Lincoln's life. This approach typically works best for biopics, which is why "Walk the Line" (2005) was a slightly better movie than "Ray" (2004), even if Jamie Foxx's performance was better than Joaquin Phoenix's.
Here, we specifically follow Lincoln's quest to pass the 13th amendment, abolishing slavery. The film opens years into the Civil War, after the Emancipation Proclamation (Jan. 1, 1863) and after the Gettysburg Address (Nov. 19, 1863), where Lincoln faces a choice: end the war or abolish slavery.
Taking the politically unpopular route, he tells his fellow Republican cabinet members to consider the two options: "If you could look into the seeds of time, which will grow larger?"
The rest of the movie depicts his one-on-one meetings with individual congressmen, trying to scrounge up enough votes to pass the amendment, combining the war-time leadership of Washington and Roosevelt, the communication skills of Reagan and the martyr idealism of Kennedy.
The fact that Spielberg manages to create a gripping and inspiring tale out of Washington lawmaking is incredible, especially since we already know the ending. Much of the credit belongs to Day-Lewis, who was given the role when Schindler himself, Liam Neeson, dropped out in 2010. Four score and seven years from now, I have a feeling folks will remember "Lincoln" more than "Taken 2" (2012).
Is there any argument that Day-Lewis is the best actor of our time? His role as Lincoln comes after winning an Oscar as Christy Brown in "My Left Foot" (1981), searing the screen as Hawkeye in "The Last of the Mohicans" (1992), earning an Oscar nomination as Gerry Conlon in "In the Name of the Father" (1993), earning another as Bill "The Butcher" Cutting in "Gangs of New York" (2002) and winning his second Oscar as Daniel Plainview in "There Will Be Blood" (2007).
His portrayal of Lincoln could very well win him a third, as I sat staring at the screen, having to pinch myself a few times that this was indeed Day-Lewis and not the living, breathing Lincoln himself.
With all due respect to Henry Fonda in "Young Mr. Lincoln" (1939) and Gregory Peck in "The Blue and the Gray" (1982), Day-Lewis' performance is the best ever given of Lincoln. So often we see our 16th president as a statuesque figure, staring down on Jimmy Stewart in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (1939). Here, we get to see his human side, rolling on the ground with his children, interacting with his wife in the Lincoln Bedroom and cracking clever jokes to his cabinet members.
This is no mythic legend. This is a great man, in the flesh.
It doesn't hurt that Day-Lewis has several Oscar winners surrounding him in the supporting cast. Two-time Oscar-winner Sally Field ("Norma Rae," "Places in the Heart") plays his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, mourning the death of her son and keenly aware of her own loony place in the history books. Oscar-winner Tommy Lee Jones ("The Fugitive") gives his best performance since "No Country for Old Men" (2007) as abolitionist Thaddeus Stevens, U.S. Representative of Pennsylvania.
Rounding out the cast are David Strathairn ("Good Night and Good Luck") as Secretary of State William Seward, James Spader ("Sex, Lies and Videotape") as political operative W.N. Bilbo and Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("The Dark Knight Rises") as Lincoln's patriotic son.
Each of these historical figures comes to life, thanks to costume designer Joanna Johnston, production designer Rick Carter and cinematographer Janusz Kaminski, who won Oscars for both "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan" and last year was nominated for "War Horse" (2011).
Also returning to Spielberg's filmmaking cabinet is legendary composer John Williams ("Jaws"), whose score both grounds us in the 19th century reality and transcends the screen with the feeling that this solitary life, in the words of Dr. King, is bending the arc of history toward justice.
The weight of each decision is visually expressed by Spielberg, whose camera starts behind Lincoln's head and swings around to his face. It mirrors how Spielberg started behind Neeson's head in "Schindler's List" and how Hitchcock started behind Cary Grant's head in "Notorious" (1946). Spielberg admits he's not in the auteur class of Hitchcock, Welles or Scorsese, considering himself a commercial storyteller like Michael Curtiz ("Casablanca") or Victor Fleming ("Gone With the Wind").
Still, if you factor in fame, showmanship and pop culture impact, Spielberg's face deserves a spot on Hollywood's Mount Rushmore. If Oscar history is any indication, Spielberg will land a Best Director nomination for "Lincoln," as his two Best Director wins came for "serious works" like "Schindler" and "Private Ryan." In a way, the specter of Lincoln hung over both of those films, from the theme of freeing a "racially inferior" people from white supremacist bondage in "Schindler," to General Marshall memorizing a handwritten Lincoln letter in "Private Ryan."
Spielberg enlists several other clever directorial techniques. He uses the body of Day-Lewis to wipe the frame (i.e. the bathers in "Jaws"). He slowly pushes in on Lincoln, allowing his body to grow larger in the frame as he gradually commands control of the room. And he cleverly cuts from a crying Sally Field saying, "We had to put on a face," to her fake smile at a dinner party. Still, his greatest credit may be his slow and steady pace, a patience described by Lincoln, who uses a sailing analogy to describe his presidency. He says the key to success is always knowing where "north" is on your moral compass, not charging ahead too fast, while keeping an eye out for potential obstacles.
From start to finish, Spielberg swiftly avoids several potential pitfalls:
1) Exposition. Some Spielberg movies do a little too much "hand holding," and I feared this would again be the case in an early scene with Sally Field providing exposition. Thankfully, the film does not fall into this trap for the rest of the movie, using nuanced dialogue and complex analogies to get its points across.
Case in point: Lincoln gives his rationale for abolishing slavery by quoting Euclid, "Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to each other." This is clearly a director who's matured since previous attempts on race in "The Color Purple" (1985) and "Amistad" (1997).
2) Predictability. Spielberg also avoids the trap of predictability by delivering a number of moments that go against the grain. Instead of starting the movie with Lincoln delivering the Emancipation Proclamation, the famous speech is instead given by black Union soldiers, who recite the speech back to the president as a way of saying thank you.
Instead of a straight-forward depiction of the assassination at Ford's Theater, like in "The Birth of a Nation" (1915), Spielberg foreshadows the event mid-way through the film, then shows the actual event through the eyes of his son. Finally, Tommy Lee Jones is given a brilliant twist at the end of the movie that drives home the film's theme perfectly.
3) Preachiness. Civil War buffs will surely comb over the film for historical accuracy, but my goal was to see whether the film came across as preachy. Quite the contrary.
"Lincoln" puts in its two cents - copper pennies engraved with its hero - without hammering us over the head. While a socially progressive theme pervades the story, there are plenty of references to Lincoln as the father of the Republican Party, making Democrats the butt of several jokes.
To me, it remains one of the bizarre flips in American history that after Lincoln's assassination and the failure of reconstruction, the two parties managed to flip on the issue of race over the next 100 years, moving from a Republican push for abolition in the 1860s, to a liberal Dr. King and Democrat Lyndon Johnson finally realizing that dream in the 1960s.
In an age of libertarian soul searching, do future flips await?
This fascinating interplay between past, present and future makes "Lincoln" super relevant in our current political context. William Faulkner once said, "The past is never dead, in fact, it's not even past," while Mark Twain wrote, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme."
Here again in 2012 America, Texas lawmakers are once again threatening to secede from the union, while Washington is mired in partisan gridlock. Lincoln's example of building a "Team of Rivals" by meeting one-on-one with individual congressmen is a blueprint for our current President (Democrat) and Speaker of the House (Republican) to build bridges and pass a landmark piece of legislation.
At a time when many Americans feel disillusioned about our political process, due to a barrage of negative campaign ads, "Lincoln" reminds us of why that process exists in the first place. Our founding fathers created an ingenious system of intentional gridlock to prevent our nation from charging too far in either direction. It's a system that, under heroic leaders, can produce earth-shaking results.
The same can be said about today's film industry. The loudest, over-the-top voices garner most of the attention and dollars, be they box office receipts or campaign donations. Yet much of this shock value entertainment recalls the "Game Change" quote by Steve Schmidt, Senior Advisor to the 2008 McCain-Palin campaign: "It wasn't a campaign. It was a bad reality show."
Great movies - like great leaders - are patient, nuanced and follow a bold vision that favors the high road over the easy one. These are the movies, the leaders, that earn the votes, get the statues and change our world. Cloaked in immense power and surprising humor, "Lincoln" provides hope that inspired, intelligent filmmaking shall not perish from this earth.

You guys are really killing my steal of the draft buzz with solid this selecting of all the good vets out there.
Wait what "steal of the draft"? What'd I miss?
Lol no I was just saying, some of these guys in a round or two would be a steal!
being at the front/end of a snake draft sucks, you have to wait a full 2 rounds for you to pick again
HR Sim League - Washington Wizards
If people agree to change it to 4 hours in a few picks, then sure.
Yes I'm definitely good with 4 hours. In between checking to see if it's been my pick and checking to see if the guys I want have been picked, there has been a lot of disappointment.
Well since the system in place needs to be outvoted by exactly 73.217 % of the vote and 10 people voted for moving it to 4 hours; doesn't that mean the vote is 18 to 10 in favor of keeping it to 6 hours? I kid, i kid.

Please do change it to four hours.

- Synthesis, Characterization, and Properties of Tailored Functional Block Copolymers (2011)
- This thesis covers the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of functional block copolymers (BCP) based on a polymer analogous approach and includes three main subjects. The first subject is the implementation of a specially constructed reactor setup for sequential anionic polymerization that allows parallel block copolymer synthesis based on one identical A-block on a lab scale. For this reason, this setup facilitates the preparation of block copolymer series in a combinatorial fashion. It consists of one main reactor and three secondary reactors with individual temperature control. The addition of monomers or additives to each reactor can be handled separately. AB diblock copolymer and ABC triblock copolymer series were prepared with different lengths of the final block as well as different chemical structures of the last block. The second subject covers the synthesis, characterization, processing and application of new liquid crystalline azobenzene-containing block copolymers designed as materials for holographic data storage. Therefore, these polymers contained an amorphous, optical inert poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or polystyrene (PS) matrix and a functional segment based on polyhydroxystyrene (PHS). Different lengths of flexible spacers and/or mixtures of two spacer lengths were employed to connect the mesogenic chromophores to the polymer backbone. The structure-property relation of functionalized BCPs and the resulting mesophase was investigated. Holographic experiments were conducted on selected examples of the photo-addressable polymers. Smectic annealed samples or amorphous quenched samples were obtained by different sample preparation methods to investigate the influence of the liquid crystalline order. While the initial sensitivity to light induced orientation of the polymer systems remained unaffected, the writing times and level of postdevelopment were improved for quenched samples. Variation in spacer lengths resulted in decreasing smectic order with decreasing spacer length as well as for mixtures of two different spacer lengths promoting lower writing times in the holographic experiments. Additionally, the temperature dependence of the temporal evolution of the refractive index modulation in the smectic polymers was studied. A significant decrease of writing times and an enhancement of the postdevelopment were revealed at elevated temperatures. Stable holographic gratings could be obtained even at 100 °C. 1.1 mm thick samples, that are a prerequisite for volume holographic data storage with a high data storage density, were prepared by injection molding of blends of photoaddressable BCPs with PMMA or PS. Preliminary results confirmed the long-term stability of inscribed holographic gratings and demonstrated angular multiplexing of holographic volume gratings. The third subject covers the synthesis and characterization of new cyanobiphenyl-containing ABA triblock copolymers and their application as BCP gelators for the low molecular weight liquid crystal (LC) 4-cyano-4'-(pentyl)biphenyl (5CB). Based on the selective solubility of the A and B blocks in the nematic solvent, ABA triblock copolymers can be used for the thermoreversible gelation of 5CB. To this end, ABA and ABA' triblock copolymers comprised of PS A-blocks and a cyanobiphenyl-functionalized PHS B-block with a high degree of polymerization were prepared by the combination of anionic polymerization, using two different synthetic routes, and polymer analogous attachment of the mesogens. Series of linear gelators were prepared with variations in B-block length, A-block lengths and star shaped BCPs by coupling linear ABA' triblock copolymers. Structure-property relations of the cyanobiphenyl-functionalized polymers regarding the mesophase characterization revealed a dependence of solubility in the nematic 5CB on spacer length. A comprehensive study was conducted to investigate the influence of the BCP backbone and architecture on the gelation of 5CB. Oscillating rheology measurements and thermal characterization were employed to investigate the thermoreversible LC gels. Most of the BCP gelators achieved gelation of 5CB at a mass concentration of 5 wt%. The properties of the different gels where compared at this fixed concentration. The influence of the gelator backbone on the gel properties was investigated by comparing different sets of triblock copolymers. While a short functionalized B-block resulted in high network density and, thus, a high elasticity of the gel the length of the A-blocks influenced the node stability. The LC gel using a star-shaped gealtor exhibited a significantly higher elasticity than with the respective linear block copolymer gelator.

Hank Silverberg,
WASHINGTON - A town in Fairfax County and one north of Baltimore have been named the best places to raise kids in the D.C. area.
Bloomberg Businessweek has picked out one community in each state for that designation. Herndon, which branded itself the "next generation small town" back in September, gets the nod for Virginia.
The town of about 23,000 in the midst of the Dulles Technology Corridor boasts low unemployment, good schools and kid-friendly performances on the Town Green, according to its Businessweek listing.
The designation comes as no surprise to Herndon Mayor Lisa Merkel.
"My children are growing up thinking it's normal that a homecoming parade comes down their street, and we can see fireworks from our yard," Merkel says.
Merkel also notes Herndon's benefits include a historic downtown and a location close to Dulles International Airport. The town additionally sits halfway between D.C. and the wine country of the Shenandoah Valley.
The magazine lists Hampstead, in Carroll County, as the best place to raise kids in Maryland. It cites the area's new high school, a new bypass to help create a walkable downtown and a section of roadway mowed by goats.

Once and For All? Lutz text message reportedly confirms Cadillac Converj is dead
by Chris Paukert (RSS feed) on Mar 17th, 2010 at 10:31AM
Although previously the subject of some early obituaries, it appears that the future of the Cadillac Converj showcar is indeed at a dead-end. According to Automotive News, a production future for the rakish extended-range coupe has been scuttled due to "priorities and the conviction that the Volt and Ampera will use all available capacity for years to come" – that's according to a text message from General Motors vice chairman Bob Lutz. Lutz, who is himself retiring on May 1, openly championed the Converj, including telling members of the Society of Automotive Analysts that the car... Read More

McKean reflects on first year in office
In reflecting over his first year in office, Berne Mayor Bill McKean says that he is even more impressed with the quality of teamwork among city employees than he had anticipated.
"We have a strong team effort and God is blessing that," said McKean in reflections concerning his first year in office. "We have lots of good people in this community; I feel very fortunate to work with the fantastic people in office.
"I've worked with these people before, they work at a higher level than I had even thought," continued McKean. "These are great employees."
McKean said that one 2012 happening that may seem insignificant, but that could have a bearing on improved living in future days was the legislation formed to help address the situation of the abandoned house that had suffered damage in fire on North Jefferson Street.
"The legislation we developed to address this situation will give something to refer to in future similar situations," McKean said. "There was some valuable information that attorneys Bob Biberstein and James Beitler laid down to bring this about."
McKean also reflected on the continued growing business climate. He referred to such projects as Smith Brothers building projects, the large German press recently purchased by FCC that will help enhance the business work force.
The mayor noted that Smith Brothers now has a work force of over 300 workers and FCC has topped the 200 employee mark, a total of over 500 jobs between the two plants.
"Dynamic Resources Group has purchased some new equipment," commented McKean. "Even when the economy was struggling, our businesses continued to provide jobs for our workers. "
McKean said that much of the successful business climate has been enhanced by the visible improvements around town, such as continued activity at the Swiss Clock Tower, street improvements such as that at the intersection of highways 27 and 218, the dedicated work of the park board to improve Lehman Park and the new roof placed on the Berne Senior Center.
"We have crossed our first hurdle with Safe Routes, a program designed to make the safest routes possible to school," said McKean. "We've worked with INDOT (Indiana Department of Transportation) on this. Shannon Smitley has done a lot of work with this."
McKean said the next phase will include installation of a sidewalk and other approaches guaranteeing a safe route to school.
Other items McKean felt were significant in 2012 include:
_ a major paving job from Parkway Street to County Road 700
_ continued management of the city compost pile, headed by Jay Sprunger, with provisions for city residents to acquire compost for their own use
_ increased water rates designed to help offset financial losses that were occurring annually
_ repair of softener tank at the water plant that saved city residents up to $100,000 in costs.
"After being out of city government for four years, it is good to get back in office. More than ever, I appreciate the great work force which is really focused on doing its part," said McKean.
