Laser-marks (such as indicia, characters, symbols, patterns and the like) of exceptionally clear and thambiguous quality may be inscribed on the surface of an article whose surface region to be laser-marked is formed of a thermoplastic resin composition having a critical oxygen index of 22% or above as determined by ASTM D2863. The entire article may be formed (molded of such a thermoplastic resin composition, or the article may include a non-thermoplastic core having a surface layer thereof of the thermoplastic resin composition. Preferably, the thermoplastic resin composition is a polybutylene terephthalate with one or more flame retardants which impart the requisite critical oxygen index thereto.
1. A process for laser-marking a thermoplastic surface region of an article, comprising providing an article which includes a surface region to be laser-marked formed of a thermoplastic resin composition which consists essentially of polybutylene terephthalate, and a flame retardant in an amount sufficient to impart of said thermoplastic resin composition a critical oxygen index of 22% or above as determined by ASTM D2863, and then subjecting the surface region of the article to laser irradiation so as to inscribed a mark on the article's surface region.
2. The process as in claim 1, wherein the article is formed entirely of said thermoplastic resin composition having a critical oxygen index of 22% or above.
3. The process as in claim 1, wherein the article includes a non-thermoplastic core, and a surface layer on said core which consists essentially of said thermoplastic resin composition and a flame retardant in an amount sufficient to impart to said thermoplastic resin composition a critical oxygen index of 22% or above.
4. A process as in claim 1, wherein a scanning Nd:YAG laser is used as a laser source.
The present invention generally relates to processes for laser-marking thermoplastic articles and to the resultant laser-marked thermoplastic articles. More specifically, the present invention is embodied in a process whereby unambiguous marks may reliably and reproducibly be made on a surface of a thermoplastic article by irradiating the surface of the article with laser light.
Several prior art techniques have been proposed in the art for the high speed reproducible marking of thermoplastic articles using laser irradiation. In general, the prior art proposals include incorporating a material which is capable of selectively absorbing laser irradiation so as to locally heat the thermoplastic and thereby induce localized thermal change, for example, through melting, evaporation or carbonization, in the article's surface.
For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 1495/1981 discloses a laser-marking technique whereby a dye and a silicon-containing inorganic compound or a silicon-containing dye are incorporated into the material to be molded; Japanese patent Publication No. 118926/1984 discloses a method whereby a radiation-absorbing substance, such as a metal silicate is added to the molding material; Japanese Patent Publication No. 187050/1984 discloses a technique whereby at least 20% of hydrated alumina is added as an organic filler; Japanese Patent Publication No. 204888/1990 discloses a technique whereby a pigment containing a phosphate is added to the molding material; Japanese Patent Publication No. 48984/1990 discloses a technique whereby a non-black inorganic lead compound is incorporated into the molding material; Japanese Publication No. 10884/1991 discloses incorporating a non-white metal titanate into the molding material; Japanese Publication No. 155493 discloses incorporating a black organic dye into the molding material; and Japanese Patent Publication No. 166488/1985 discloses incorporating a metal hydroxide and/or a water-containing metal compound and a colorant.
As can be appreciated, while incorporating a variety of materials into the thermoplastic to be laser-marked may result in adequate marking characteristics, there is a risk that the additive which is incorporated into the thermoplastic so as to enhance its laser-marking properties could deleteriously affect the thermoplastic's inherent and advantageous physical properties. Furthermore, the incorporation of such additives into a thermoplastic resin typically results in a more complex (and costly) compounding procedure.
What has been needed in the art, therefore is a laser-marking process for thermoplastic resins whereby the addition of special additives for laser marking may be obviated. It is towards fulfulling such a need that the present invention is directed.
In this connection, the present invention relates to processes for laser-marking surfaces of thermoplastic articles whereby at least the surface region of the thermoplastic article has a critical oxygen index of 22% or above as determined by ASTM D2863. More specifically, it has been found that very sharp, unambiguous black markings (such as indicia, characters, symbols, patterns and the like) may be made with high speed and with reproducible reliability by means of laser irradiation if at least the surface of the thermoplastic article to be marked has a critical oxygen index according to ASTM D2863 of 22% or above.
Further aspects and advantages of this invention will become more clear after careful consideration is given to the detailed description of the preferred exemplary embodiments thereof which follows.
The present invention is especially characterized by the ability of laser irradiation to mark a thermoplastic resin article having a critical oxygen index of 22% or above as determined by ASTM D2863 at its surface. In this regard, the entire thermoplastic article may be made from a thermoplastic molding composition whose critical oxygen index is 22% or above, or alternatively, the article may be formed from a non-thermoplastic core material (e.g., ceramic or metal) which is surface-coated with a thermoplastic having a critical oxygen index of 22% or above.
It has been discovered that when laser-marking of a thermoplastic composition having a critical oxygen index of less than 22% is attempted, unclear and insufficiently contrasting markings result. Preferably, the thermoplastic resin (which as noted above can constitute the entire article or a surface layer of the article) that is employed in the processes of this invention will have a critical oxygen index of 25% or above, and more preferably a critical oxygen index of 28% or above. The use of such a thermoplastic resin at the surface of the article to be surface-marked by laser will result in very sharp (i.e., non-blurred, high contrasting) black markings to be formed.
As used herein and in the accompanying claims, the term "critical oxygen index" is meant to refer to the minimum oxygen concentration in the thermoplastic resin expressed in percent by volume which is required for continuously burning a sample in a gas mixture (oxygen/nitrogen) at room temperature under given conditions according to ASTM D2863. The critical oxygen index thus typically serves as an indication of the flame-retardancy of a thermoplastic resin.
The thermoplastic resin composition that may be used in the present invention is not particularly restricted, provided that it satisfies the critical oxygen index requirement as mentioned above. It is, however, preferred to use a thermoplastic resin which may not inherently have a critical oxygen index as noted above, but whose critical oxygen index may be adjusted to 22% or above by the addition of various flame-retardants and/or flame-retardant auxiliaries, since particularly desirable laser-marking can be achieved with such thermoplastic resins. In particular, thermoplastic resin compositions comprised predominantly of polyalkylene terephthalates, such as polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), blended with one or more flame-retardant are preferred.
Flame retardants can be classified as either an organic or an inorganic type. Examples include phosphorus-containing flame retardants, halogen-containing flame retardants, chlorine-containing flame retardants and antimony-containing flame retardants. The present invention is not restricted to any particular thermoplastic/flame retardant composition, but instead virtually any flame retardant may be employed in dependence upon the thermoplastic base resin with which it is blended, provide that it can impart flame-retardancy to the thermoplastic resin composition and achieve a critical oxygen index of 22% or above.
The amounts by which such flame retardants may be incorporated are likewise not specifically limited. Thus, flame retardants may be added to the thermoplastic base resin in virtually any amount so as to impart a critical oxygen index of 22% or above, with consideration being given to the particular thermoplastic resin and flame retardant(s) being employed.
According to the present invention, the thermoplastic resin composition as noted above may be molded into a desired article using conventional techniques, or a core element of the article may be surface-coated with the thermoplastic resin composition and then subjected to laser-marking. The thermoplastic material to be laser-marked may contain other additives, if required, which are typically incorporated into thermoplastic resins generally, provided that the incorporation of such additives will not decrease the critical oxygen index of the thermoplastic to below 22%. For example, a variety of stabilizers, such as UV-absorbers, antistatic agents, colorants, such as dyes and pigments, lubricants, plasticizers, mold-release agents, surfactants, crystallization accelerators and nucleating agents may be incorporated into the thermoplastic resin composition to be laser-marked according to this invention. Furthermore, fibrous, flaky or granular inorganic compounds, for example, glass fibers, glass flakes, mica and glass beads, may be added to the thermoplastic composition.
According to the present invention, very sharp and unambiguous marking of the surface of a thermoplastic article can be effected by simply irradiating the desired parts of the molded article with a laser. In this connection, in order to obtain marks of desired shape on the surface of the article, the articles' surface may be selectively scanned with a spot of a laser beam having the appropriate size. Alternately, a laser beam is masked to thereby give a desired shape and then the surface of the molded article to be marked is irradiated with the masked laser beam.
The laser irradiation that may be employed in the processes of the present invention is not particularly restricted. Examples of useable lasers include carbon dioxide lasers, ruby lasers, semiconductor lasers, argon lasers, examiner lasers and YAG lasers. Among these, a ND:YAG laser having a wavelength of 1.08 μm is particularly preferred- The oscillation type of laser may be either continuous or pulsed. A Q-switched scanning Nd:YAG laser of a continuous oscillation type is particularly suitable.
As described above, the laser-marking process according to the present invention includes irradiating the surface of a molded article made from a thermoplastic resin composition having a critical oxygen index of 22% or above as determined by ASTM D2863. The resulting laser-marked thermoplastic surface will exhibit exception-ally clear and unambiguous black markings without deteriorating the inherent beneficial characteristics associated with the thermoplastic resin generally. Furthermore, these attributes of the present invention are realized with the added benefit of high speed marking of article surfaces, as well as ease of automation and process management- Thus, the process of this invention is highly useful in practice.
The present invention will be further illustrated by the following non-limiting Examples.
A number of test plates (50mm � 70mm � 3mm) were made from thermoplastic resin compositions identified in Table 1 below comprised of PBT and a flame-retardant/ flame-retardant auxiliary so that each composition had a critical oxygen index of 22% or above. The test plates were then marked with the use of a scanning Nd:YAG laser (Laser Marker SL475E, manufactured by NEC Corporation), using the following marking conditions:
Laser oscillator: SL114K
Laser Type: Continuous Oscillation Type Nd:YAG laser
Output: 50W or above
Number of marked characters: 40
Marking method: One Stroke
Power at Marked Part: 1W
Scanning Speed: 100 mm/sec
Bite Size: 30 μm
Q-switch Frequency: 3 kHz
Treatment Time: 3 seconds
For comparison, test plates formed of resin compositions having a critical oxygen index less than 22% were subjected to similar laser-marking procedures.
Table 1 below summarizes the results.
TABLE 1______________________________________Resin composition flame re- Criti- tardant/ cal flame glass oxygen Mark- retardant fiber ineex Laser ingresin aid (wt. %) (%) used state*1______________________________________Ex. 1 PBT contained -- 24.0 Nd:YAG ∘Ex. 2 PBT contained 30 23.3 Nd:YAG ∘Ex. 3 PBT contained 30 26.7 Nd:YAG ⊚Ex. 4 PBT contained 30 29.6 Nd:YAG ⊚C.

Ex. 3 PBT contained 30 21.6 Nd:YAG Δ______________________________________ *1 marking state (contrast): ⊚: very good, ∘: good Δ: thin, x: unclear
As can be seen from the data presented above, laser-markings of exceptional quality can be formed on thermoplastic articles if the surface of the article to be laser-marked has a critical oxygen index of 22% or above.
Thus, while the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiment, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll acknowledged Thursday that Percy Harvin may need surgery to repair the tear in his hip labrum. Harvin is scheduled for a second opinion next week but early signs appear grim. "When you spoke to people this afternoon about this injury" ESPN's Adam Schefter said on NFL Live "they sounded concerned." The second opinion in all likelihood will confirm Harvin's need for surgery. Carroll is typically pretty vague on injury situations but he was revealing in this case and we don't take that as a good thing. Should Harvin miss regular season time -- and that's now a very real possibility -- the Seahawks' three-receiver set would be Sidney Rice Golden Tate and Doug Baldwin.

The Williamsboy (Matthew-Billy Williams) is an American Singer/Songwriter currently based in Riverside, New Jersey. He began his solo music career in the 90's. Beyond his talents as a songwriter, he is also a self taught guitarist, drummer, pianist, harmonicist, bass player, producer, engineer, banjo picker, & vocalist. Williams' brand of music is Heartland American Rock and Roll, with hints of traditional Country music and Folk undertones. Williams finds a home in being unconventional by penning non-genre specific songs in an age where music is defined by classifications and status quo.
" I'm just a guy who writes songs the old fashion way. I feel something, and I write a song about it. I don't get hung up over whether or not it's popular, Its the Art form I choose to express with."
It's in Williams' songs that you will find the musical contrast that separates him from other artists. He writes to connect with the listener, with Williams It's a personal relationship.
"Music makes me happy, I want to share that happiness. We only have one shot at this life, and if through my music I can touch someone else's life then I've used my gift correctly".
His introduction to music started around 8 years old, wrote his first song at 14 and hasn't stopped since. Williams is a Jersey boy, his family moved around a lot. Growing up in towns like Lakehurst, Brick, Silverton, and Absecon. He also lived in Philadelphia, until a tragic fire in 1997. It was this event that made him realize the fragility of life. He moved back to NJ to be with family. He later became a care giver, along with his siblings to their mother as she fought a terminal disease. The next 7 years of which, were hard for Williams and his family, but during this time of hardship he found solice in writing music and did so with ferocity.
" A retrired palm reader in Nashville once told me that I would see success with my music around age 42.. but she couldn't tell me if I would be alive or not. So at least I've got that going for me which is nice"
Williams is not the new, unique, star struck, artist of the day. If that's what you're looking for please accept my most sincerest of apologies... good day sir!

Me Again! Costs Mounting. Need Receiver Too
I never thought about it when pursuing the new Blu-Ray player, but obviously our 2001 Yamaha receiver has no HDMI connections.
The tech from Abt must have just done what he could connecting our Sony Bravia TV to the Yamaha in 2010. How much must I spend for a new receiver? Clearly, we are not audio/video sophisticates!
Could someone explain how all these parts work together?
1) DirecTV HD-DVR (Signal comes in here and goes to...?)
2) Tuner (I know this controls the four speakers and subwoofer.)
3) 1080p TV (Gets input from all the others?)
5) Blu-Ray DVD Player (Only connected to TV -- and Receiver for speakers?)
I'm reminded of that old song: The music goes round and round, and it comes out...on the TV screen and speakers?
The receiver is the hub of the system so everything connects to it. All the audio / video inputs (DirectTV, BluRay, Wii, etc) connect to the receiver to send audio and/or video signals in. All recently made equipment will use HDMI cable but most receivers will also handle other types of inputs for older equipment (the one exception is that many new receivers do not support old turntables). The receiver then sends audio output to speakers via speaker wires and subwoofer coaxial cable, and video output to the TV via HDMI cable. You can spend a lot on a receiver with all the bells and whistles but a basic one should not cost more than $200-$300. Just make sure it supports BluRay audio formats and has enough HDMI input connections to handle all your equipment with room for a few extra things you may add in the future.
Thanks Mr. B. I was afraid of that: The receiver is the 'brains' of the outfit. I'll look for one with six HDMI 'ports' and one that will support Blu-Ray audio. Looks like I'll also need at least four HDMI cables. I remember a post saying that a cable is a cable, but I see a wide range of pricing on them. I do have one short one that came with the Sony Blu-Ray.
This morning AT&T emailed me touting their 'U-verse'. They currently bundle our landline/internet/DirecTV HD-DVR. It looks like U-verse replaces the DirecTV part, but much of the focus is on things we don't care about, like music and 24/7 hand-held 'connectivity'.
I've cooled on the whole 'streaming movies' thing. Netflix and Amazon's current movies are not of interest to us. Our library has free DVD's of everything I saw on their lists that I *would* want to see. We've already seen the old episodes of various British TV series on offer to stream. We've watched many more recent episodes of these series on DVD's from the library. Maybe 'streaming' is of more interest to people who are more isolated -- or watching on hand-held screens? Are there other services with wider offerings?
HDMI cables from retail stores are way overpriced. Look for 'high speed' HDMI and you should be OK. Monoprice.com has the best prices.
The appeal of streaming all depends on what you want to watch. We just watched all 4 seasons of Battlestar Galactica on Netflix. Next we'll probably start on Downton Abbey to catch up. It's much easier than having to deal with disks; on the other hand the audio and video quality is less than you get with BluRay disks and even with a 20MB service we still get occasional pauses, so I prefer disks for watching movies where you really want to be absorbed in the experience.
Glad to hear I can get 'generic' HDMI -- just has to say "High Speed", eh?
I think we'll stick with DVD's and skip the 'streaming' for now. I thought I was the only person who has not seen "Downton Abbey 2". Our DVR failed to record the first two episodes while we were on Maui (and we don't have a DVR there). We record almost everything so that we can watch at our leisure. We're catching up on "Hawaii Five-O" now.
I really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Solar Power Short Course
What are photovoltaics?
How does it work?
Light consists of particles called photons. When light hits the solar cell, some of the photons are absorbed in the region of the junction, freeing electrons in the silicon crystal. If the photons have enough energy, the electrons will be able to over come the electric field at the junction and are free to move through the silicon and into an external circuit. As they flow through the external circuit they give up their energy as useful work (turning motors, lighting lamps, etc.) and return to the solar cell.
The photovoltaic process is completely solid-state and self- contained. There are no moving parts and no materials are consumed or emitted.
What can photovoltaics do?
What does PV cost?
Using typical borrowing costs and equipment life, the life-cycle cost of PV- generated energy generally ranges from $0.30 to $1.00/Kwh. This cost generally limits the current application of PV to areas which are not served by an existing utility grid, although low-power applications may be cost-effective close to (sometimes only a few feet from) a power line.
Is PV difficult to use?
How are modules rated/certified?
Most manufacturers give only nominal power ratings and a tolerance (usually plus/minus 10%) for a given type of module. Solarex is unique in labelling every module with its tested output, eliminating uncertainty in module performance (within measurement tolerances). Solarex also gives, in addition to its STC rating, a rating at operating conditions of 80% sun and a cell temperature of 47 C, which represents conditions more common in actual operation.
PV modules are certified for a number of characteristics including safety, durability, and output by a number of agencies around the world. The most significant rating agencies are U.L., F.M., and the Commission of the European Communities (C.E.C). Solarex is the only manufacturer to have approvals from these three agencies.
Who uses PV?
Does PV work in the cold?
Does it work in cloudy weather?
Aside from PV modules, what else do I need in my PV
On the electrical side, protective devices such as diodes, fuses, circuit breakers, safety switches and grounds are required to meet electric code safety standards. In general, PV systems also require mounting hardware to support and elevate the PV modules and wiring to connect the PV modules and other components together.
How long will my PV system last?
High-quality industrial batteries will at best last about 7 years. Smaller sealed units will typically last 3 to 5 years. Automotive batteries are poorly matched to the characteristics of PV systems and will generally only last 12 to 18 months in PV service.
Some types of PV module (using thin-film silicon) have a predictable falloff in output in the first few months of operation which slows down and stops after some time. The modules' output from then on is relatively stable. This is a comparatively small effect in current Solarex thin-film modules, which carry an 80% power warranty for 5 years. Polycrystalline modules such as Solarex's MEGA series do not experience this kind of degradation and in fact are warranted to produce 80% of their original minimum power rating for 20 years.
What about breakage?
Solarex makes a series of products called Lite modules which use an aluminum substrate rather than a glass superstrate. These modules are designed for light weight and ruggedness in applications such as camping and are shatterproof. In a permanent installation, however, they will not last as long as equivalent glass-front modules. This is because the plastic covering used is not as inert as glass and the aluminum's thermal expansion characteristics do not match the silicon solar cells as well as glass.
In summary, given enough force, anything will break. The most effective protection against vandalism, theft and other catastrophes is property/casualty insurance.

How Much Did Kanye West Spend on Kim Kardashian's Engagement?
Kanye West does absolutely nothing small, so is it any wonder that he spent a small fortune on his engagement to Kim Kardashian?
Kanye West does absolutely nothing small, so is it any wonder that he spent a small fortune on his engagement to Kim Kardashian?
Kim Kardashian gives whole new meaning to the phrase "Baby got back!"
Ever since Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's daughter North was born back in June, Kim's been pretty much in hiding.
She finally resurfaced during Paris Fashion Week, even showing off the baby clothes she received as gifts from some high-profile designers -- so apparently she thought it was also time to actually show us a recent photo of the little girl who'll be wearing them.
Now that she's given birth to her baby, Kim Kardashian was allowed to once again dye her hair -- and dye it she did, turning her dark auburn locks blonde.
Last night we passed along reports that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had named their brand new baby North, and now we have the birth certificate to prove it.
Sorry, baby North West, sounds like you're legally bound to this name until you can emancipate yourself.
Celebrities are known for giving their kids awful -- or at least mock-worthy -- names. From Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter Apple to Nic Cage's son Kal-El (that's Superman's birth name, for you non-nerds out there), it's a good thing these kids have famous parents who can afford private bodyguards on playgrounds.
But it looks like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West might very well have trumped them all.
As you all know, Kim Kardashian had her baby this weekend. That may seem like a baffling idea, but we're pretty sure we have her parenting style figured out.
Professional attentionista Kim Kardashian likes to have her picture taken so much, she calls paparazzi and lets them know where she is. But today she suddenly soured on photogs, claiming that they threatened both her and the little gestating Khristy.
Kim Kardashian didn't take a break from promoting her bronzer just because some little tornado hit Oklahoma. She's a businesswoman, remember?
That didn't sit well with a lot of people -- including rocker Nikki Sixx.

Sinking oil is one reason, but consumers are still tentative about buying things. That's despite extensive efforts by the Japanese goverment to stimulate things, a set of policies called "Abenomics". More on that. Plus, 3G Capital plans to put into place "zero based budgeting" at Kraft. We explain what this means and how it works. And for people who have too much to do, don't want to think much about food or are tired of microwaving plastic from the freezer, there is something called Soylent. It's a powder that turns into a bland, beige shake. Soylent is produced by a start up company that's been attracting some serious venture capital from big Silicon Valley names. We talk about, and taste, the product.
03-26-2015- Morning Report- Nearsighted money management
Airing on Thursday, March 26, 2015: With the Saudi-led coalition bombing targets in Yemen to stop advances by Houthi rebels, the price of oil right now is up 4 percent. That's a dramatic spike, given that Yemen accounts for a tiny percentage of the world's oil. More on that. Plus, did you know that nearsightedness causes people to make bad decisions about money? I'm talking about a kind of myopia that can't be fixed by the optometrist. It's the human tendency to see the future as hazy and the present sharply in focus. Behavioral economists have a fancy name for it: "hyperbolic discounting". Joseph Kable, a neuroscientist in the Department of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, joins us to talk about it.
03-25-2015- Morning Report- The Threat To For-Profit Colleges
Airing on Wednesday, March 25, 2015: You may know that many of the beers you drink are produced by a Belgian-Brazilian conglomerate known as Anheuser-Busch InBev. There's word just now that Heinz of ketchup fame is merging with Kraft of Mac and Cheese, Jello, Oscar Meyer and Philadelphia cream cheese fame. The Brazilian angle? At the center of this estimated $40 billion deal is a Brazilian private equity fund known as 3G Capital that already controls Heinz. Plus, Apollo Group, the parent company of the University of Phoenix, reports earnings this morning. For-profit colleges have seen enrollments decline, thanks to negative publicity and an improving economy. But the biggest threat right now might be from traditional universities competing for students online. And Radioshack is bankrupt and on the auction block. We talk to Heather Landy, global news editor for Quartz, who has been digging deep into the sad demise of the Shack.
03-24-2015- Morning Report- Re-starting arctic drilling
Airing on Tuesday, March 24, 2015: After the 2008 financial collapse, the government required banks to prove if they failed some day it wouldn't drag down the rest of the financial system and require a bailout. The documents to prove this are known informally as "living wills." Last summer it emerged that a range of U.S.-based bank still posed too much systemic risk if they were to go bankrupt. Today, several published reports say three foreign owned banks also lack persuasive living wills. BNP Paribas, HSBC, and Royal Bank of Scotland. More on that. And there's news today about factories in China, where an index of manufacturing fell in March. We take a look at the issue. Plus, Shell is expected to get the green light this week to re-start drilling for oil in the Arctic. Critics fear low oil prices may raise pressure on the company to cut corners and compromise safety. Given its poor safety record in the Arctic, why is the US supporting Shell's application? We explore.
03-23-2015- Morning Report- Forget it, L.A. It's Chinatown
Airing on Monday, March 23, 2015: The man who transformed Singapore has died. Lee Kuan Yew was 91. Countries the world over, including China looked to Lee's example of economic transformation, but it was a system that was controversial. More on that story. This next story is about a water war that ended…during a drought. Sounds odd, but that's what's happened in California, where the city of Los Angeles and air regulators in the rural Owens Valley recently called a truce in an ongoing dispute rooted in L.A.'s century-old "water grab." If your history's failing you, think "Chinatown," folks.
03-20-2015- Morning Report- Michelle Obama's trip to promote education for girls
Airing on Friday, March 20, 2015: First up, we'll talk about the merger in Europe worth the euro equivalent of $44 billion, and creates the largest company in the world of its kind. More on that. And Michelle Obama is midway into her trip to Asia, where she's launching her Let Girls Learn initiative. At last count, 62 million girls worldwide were not going to school. But rather than take a broad brush to all this, Obama is teaming with the Peace Corp to try and move the needle. Under the plan, the Peace Corps will recruit and train about 650 additional volunteers to focus specifically on adolescent girls' access to education — on a grass roots level, so they can identify specific barriers and come up with ways to remove them. We explore. Plus, the U.S. rail system is the mirror opposite of rail systems in other countries. In Europe, for example, passenger rail rules. But the U.S. freight rail system is widely recognized as the most efficient in the world. So why are we so different?

A World Apart: Women, Prison, and Life Behind Bars
Life in a women's prison is full of surprises," writes Cristina Rathbone in her landmark account of life at MCI-Framingham. And so it is. After two intense court battles with prison officials, Rathbone gained unprecedented access to the otherwise invisible women of the oldest running women's prison in America.

Finding myself desperate for more when I finished the first season of Orange Is The New Black, I ordered the titular novel and this book. While Orange Is The New Black was an entertaining, informative read, it has nothing on A World Apart.
Interchanging present day narrative of inmates she has interviewed and the history of prison in Massachusetts and the broader United States, Rathbone captured my fascination in the same way Krakauer did with Under the Banner of Heaven. The transition between th ...more

An enlightening look inside MCI-Framingham, the women's prison. Should be required reading for all criminal justice majors, and all politicians who want to cut funding for rehabilitation and educational programs in prisons (both men's and women's). Yes, you will find this depressing, but perhaps it will prompt you to take more of an interest in how prisoners are treated in your own state. Well-written and fair; the author isn't sugar-coating these women's lives or crimes, but she does illustrate ...more
Mar 17, 2013 Corey added it
This is a well-written book with in-depth personal looks at the lives of several women imprisoned in Massachusetts. The author weaves history of incarceration in the state (and some national information as well) through the personal accounts of women. It was also interesting to read about the author's struggles in gaining access to the prisons in order to conduct her research and how the Department of Corrections stood in her way. Overall, a very interesting and disturbing read which humanizes t ...more

Must read book for all Criminal Justice majors, gives you an insight on how women in prison is treated and how they feel while in prison!!
Mar 11, 2015 Laura H rated it 4 of 5 stars
Read this as a follow-up to Orange Is the New Black. While centering on the narratives of four women in a state prison in Massachusetts, this book was more successful at addressing the broader issues of social justice, sexism, transparency and accountability, and reform. Very enlightening.
Sep 09, 2014 Kat Daley rated it 5 of 5 stars
This book dramatically opened my eyes to what life was like behind bars for women these days. This book brings the profiles of different women alive in a while new way.
Jul 13, 2014 Jess rated it 4 of 5 stars
Not as riveting as Orange Is The New Black, but very good. The book also had an interesting look at how corrections departments try to keep the media away.
Feb 22, 2014 Margie Shelton rated it 3 of 5 stars
The author documents her visits with female inmates at two federal prisons over a period of time. The stories are of life behind bars and the life that lead to life behind bars. The book is interesting, depressing, and, by the end, exhausting - with the "high school" carryings-on. The author fills in with some interesting history of women's prisons in the U.S. Discussions of education, skills, mandatory sentencing, and solitary confinement.
Jan 17, 2014 Jenni rated it 5 of 5 stars
compassionate, informative, sometimes hard to read. certainly deeper than Orange is the New Black and offers more insight both into the prison system in the US as well as the lives of incarcerated women. reaches the heart and the mind of the reader.
Aug 01, 2008 Joel rated it 5 of 5 stars
Shelves: social
An incredibly interesting and heart wrenching look into the lives of incarcerated women. Are we treating female criminals correctly? Can we do something other than conventional incarceration for female convicts? Why do the crimes many women commit land them in prison? These are just a few of the questions this book raises and even tries to answer, or at least shed some light on.
Oct 20, 2007 Shannon rated it 4 of 5 stars
The story of the women in Framingham Prison was of course upsetting. It disturbed me greatly to learn so many mothers are behind bars and so many for non violent crime. I was saddened to learn that women with mental disabilities are not housed in medical facilities as one would expect, but often times locked in prison where they can cause harm to themselves and others.
Jun 27, 2009 Chelsea rated it 4 of 5 stars
Recommends it for: anyone interested in alternative stories
Shelves: favorites-thus-far
Surprisingly, I couldn't put this book down. I had picked it up to do some research for a project I'm thinking about starting and not only was it killer interesting but Rathbone's writing style is so seriously engaging that I caught myself wishing that I could write just like her. Her dedication to her work is inspiring and I'd read another of hers in a heart beat.
Feb 23, 2008 Jessica rated it 5 of 5 stars
Recommends it for: those who want to know about what goes on in their own criminal justice system
Shelves: non-fiction
I loved this piece of non-fiction. I had to read it for a "Women and Crime" course and it really opened my eyes to the world of women's prisons, what they go through and the outrageous policy of Mandatory Minimum Drug Sentencing. It really makes you feel for the women who give their stories.
Mar 09, 2007 Ethan rated it 2 of 5 stars
Shelves: 2007
It's very apparent throughout this book that the author doesn't get access to the actual prison. The story starts out strong, but relies too much on somewhat cliché characters, typical inmates.
Jul 25, 2008 Colleen rated it 5 of 5 stars
This was an eye-opening book about women in prison. I knew of the inequities within prisons for women, but this hit home. I learned more about the history of women's prisons.

I am pretty easy going and like to have fun. I hate playing games. I always try to be genuine and up front in life. I don't think that lying does anyone any good and I always stick by my decisions, or at least take responsibility for them. I appreciate the same respect in life. My philosophy is that if you need to lie about something you shouldn't be doing it in the first place and that had served me very well in life. I like finding new things to do and meeting new people. I love classic rock and new rock, I hate metal and rap though. Message me as long as you aren't crazy!

UPDATE: According to Variety, Hammer has landed the titular role of The Lone Ranger in Disney's developing production. Filming should begin by the end of the year for a late 2012 release.
EARLIER: Hollywood is the land of opportunity for all who venture there. Well, not all, but if you're tall, blond and handsome you've got everything you need to succeed. Of course, having a commercial and critical hit on your resume certainly helps, so Armie Hammer is really sitting pretty. The 24-year-old actor, coming off of the stellar theatrical run of The Social Network, has picked up high-profile roles in Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar opposite Leonardo DiCaprio and Relativity's Snow White adventure. Just like that, he's one of the most in-demand male leads in the business and he's now circling a true star-making role opposite another major entertainment icon.
Variety reports that Hammer is the frontrunner for the titular part in Disney's update of The Lone Ranger. Johnny Depp has long been locked to portray Native American sidekick Tonto and the A-lister wrangled his Rango and Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski to helm, reuniting the duo with their producer/friend Jerry Bruckheimer. Justin Haythe wrote the script for the film, which is adapted from the beloved radio program and golden-age TV show. The goal is to shoot the film later this year for a fall/winter 2012 release, but that all depends on Depp's ever-packed schedule; the Oscar-nominee is set to reunite with Tim Burton on the gothic drama Dark Shadows shortly, which would make said start date difficult for all involved.
The Lone Ranger is a combination of two of my favorite storytelling concepts: that of the masked vigilante and the hardened Western hero. While it's easy for anyone to don the black mask of the Ranger, I haven't seen anything from Hammer to suggest that he can deliver a genuine portrayal of the gritty law dog. That may not be the direction the filmmakers are taking the character in (this is a Disney production, after all), but I'm of the mind that The Lone Ranger needs to skew slightly older and more mature. Though Hammer's definitely got the physique, I'm not sure he's the best man for this job. I liked Ryan Gosling more, and believe it or not, George Clooney was a better pick for the part. Let's see where this goes.
