Bill Bets Prizes Would Get Kids to Pass Tests
By Jim Sanders, The Sacramento Bee, Calif.
Jul. 21–Want kids to score well on statewide tests?
Reward them.
Before they ask, "What's in it for me?" offer a prize for performance.
That's the thrust of a proposed state law passed this month by the Legislature and sent to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"What we're really looking at is recognition and motivation and incentive to achieve," said Sen. Elaine Alquist, a Santa Clara Democrat who proposed the measure.
Senate Bill 1709 would authorize and encourage school districts to provide nonmonetary incentives to middle and high school students for achievement or improvement on standardized tests.
Critics wonder if the concept feeds a selfish, me-first attitude.
"At some point, students need to be taught that every good deed does not require reward," said Jon Coupal of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
Coupal, whose group has taken no formal position on SB 1709, said he is leery of rewarding children simply for doing their duty.
"It reminds me of providing incentive pay for police officers to stay in physical shape — I mean, that should be part of the package, shouldn't it?" Coupal said.
Alquist characterized the incentives as recognition, not compensation.
"It's a way to help kids do better in school," she said. "Isn't that what we all want?"
SB 1709 initially proposed a special mark on a student's diploma and a mini-vacation from classes — up to three days — at the end of the school year.
Alquist later dropped the three-day break. Her bill now encourages school districts to develop nonmonetary incentives by soliciting ideas from students.
Local businesses could be asked to donate prizes, such as tickets to movies, concerts, restaurants or sporting events.
"I think the possibilities are endless," Alquist said.
SB 1709 passed the Legislature largely along party lines, with most Republicans opposed.
Schwarzenegger has not taken a position, nor have state teacher, administrator or school board groups.
Alquist's bill, sparked by a suggestion from a statewide student council group, presumes that many pupils don't take Standardized Testing and Reporting exams seriously because their grades and graduation are not affected.
Campuses and districts are ranked and judged by STAR scores, but not students.
Teenagers interviewed at McClatchy High School applauded the notion of prizes.
"That would be cool," said John Franz, 15.
"I think that most kids would rather be rewarded for doing something good than punished if they don't do good," said Emma DeAmicis, 15.
But Roger Fotuiaka, 14, said that offering prizes sounds like an attempt to "buy" cooperation.
Bob Wells, director of the Association of California School Administrators, noted that years ago the state offered cash prizes to schools that excelled in testing.
The plan backfired at some campuses, however, because pupils began demanding that bonus money be committed to a student activity in return for top effort, Wells said.
"They came up with the bright idea of holding out for a good deal," he said.
A legislative analysis of SB 1709 said current state law does not specifically ban nonmonetary incentives, so districts conceivably can offer them now — and some do, with medals, homework passes, yearbook discounts, student-store dollars or other prizes.
But Alquist said districts do not routinely offer rewards. Her legislation would remove any ambiguity and provide clear support, though no public funding.
Dave Gordon, head of the Sacramento County Office of Education, said that tangible prizes are "not inconsequential," but a better incentive might be to tie STAR scores to students' futures.
"Whatever we can do to make the tests more meaningful and have more consequences, I think that's a plus," Gordon said.
California State University uses scores from an ancillary exam, linked to STAR, to exempt high school students from remedial classes. Gordon said the concept should be expanded to community colleges.
State schools Superintendent Jack O'Connell would like to see STAR scores used as college entrance exams, spokeswoman Hilary McLean said.
O'Connell has taken no position on SB 1709, however. He believes that school districts know students well and are best-equipped to decide whether to offer prizes, McLean said.
"We think there are upsides and downsides," she said.
A system that rewards improvement and achievement, for example, might leave out students who try very hard but have little success, she said.
John Montgomery, assistant superintendent of the Roseville Joint Union High School District, said he would like to see STAR testing occur toward the end of courses and count toward grades.
Montgomery is wary of awarding prizes, however, calling them "artificial motivations."
"They've worked, I've seen them work," he said. "But in terms of integrity, I'm not so certain that that's where we want to be."
Bruce Fuller, a professor of education and public policy at the University of California, Berkeley, said offering prizes does nothing to address social or economic reasons for poor test scores.
For teenagers who purposely fail, gifts don't necessarily change attitudes, he said.
"I think a lot of it is a breakdown in the popular authority that teachers represent," he said. "Building that back up is going to require more than just handing out M&Ms."
But Associate Superintendent Christina Penna said some campuses in her Elk Grove district use STAR rewards as a vehicle for teaching about accountability and goal-setting.
Before testing, students evaluate past scores, set a performance goal and discuss strategies for improvement, she said.
"We try to make it a self-reflective exercise for students to do better," she said.

Following an overnight standoff with authorities at the Econo Lodge at the I-71/U.S. 35 intersection, a man wanted for murder in Hocking County attempted to take his own life this morning by shooting himself in the head.
According to Fayette County Sheriff Vernon Stanforth, Michael Napoli's vehicle was spotted by an Econo Lodge housekeeper outside of the motel at around 11:30 p.m. Sunday. The FCSO was contacted and after evacuating the motel at around midnight, deputies set up a perimeter outside of Room 231, where Napoli was staying.
After attempting to negotiate with Napoli several times, "it became apparent we were going to have to go in," said Stanforth.
At around 6 a.m., deputies used tear gas in an attempt to force Napoli to surrender. When he refused to come out, deputies tried to force entry into the room. According to Stanforth, Napoli had pushed mattresses up against the window and furniture against the door.
"We had to literally break the door off of its hinges to gain entry," said Stanforth.
When deputies gained entry, Napoli was sitting in a chair and had already shot himself in the head. He was taken to Miami Valley Hospital for treatment. He was considered in life-threatening condition.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is currently processing the scene at the Econo Lodge.
Napoli is suspected of shooting a woman and killing a man inside of a cabin Saturday night at the Wildwoods Backwood Retreats Cabins on State Route 678 in Hocking County.

Q:� Indicating Drierite is either blue or pink.� What does this mean?
A:� Indicating Drierite is blue when active and pink when exhausted.
Q:� Does all Drierite change color?
A:� No, only Indicating Drierite changes color.� All other types of Drierite are white and remain white regardless of moisture content.�
Q:� What does "mesh size" mean?
A:� Mesh size means� granules per inch.� For example, 8 mesh Drierite granules are approximately 1/8 inch in diameter and 4 mesh granules are approximately 1/4 inch in diameter.
Q:� Does mesh size really matter?
A:� It depends.� If you put Drierite in the bottom of a desiccator or other closed container to dry the air inside then the mesh size doesn't matter.� If you pack a column with Drierite and pass air through the column to dry it then the mesh size should be appropriate for the diameter of the column to avoid channeling and back pressure.�
Q:� Can Drierite be regenerated and used again?
A:� Yes, Drierite can be regenerated by spreading the granules in a tray and heating them in an oven at about 425°F (220°C) for 1 to 1.5 hours.�� For complete instructions please see "regeneration instructions".
Q:� Can Drierite Desiccant Bags be regenerated?
A:� No.� Heating the Drierite Desiccant Bags causes the paper to scorch and the heat seals to come apart.� Drierite Drierite Desiccant Bags are disposable.
Q:� How long does Drierite last?
A:� Drierite remains active until it reaches its capacity to absorb moisture.� The length of time depends completely on exposure to water. For example, if Drierite is left open to the atmosphere on a humid day it will last only minutes.� In a perfectly sealed container however, Drierite will remain active for decades.

Prokofiev, Sergei : Passage through Angel Island by Jordan Yee
Year of Arrival 1918
Prokofiev was an established pianist and composer in Russia when he journeyed to the United States in 1918 for series of performances. The following essay by Jordan Yee, an AIISF volunteer and ranger at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, brings to life Prokofiev's intense four-day detention at the Angel Island Hospital. Prokofiev was a prolific diarist who kept a detailed and contemplative record of his thoughts and feelings. Yee's masterful blending of Prokofiev's journal entries and citations from Prokofiev's immigration files provide a fascinating glimpse of one person's experience at the Immigration Station.
Quock, Jim (Wah Bo) : My Father Was a Paper Son by Steve Kwok
Year of Arrival 1929
From 1882 until December 1943, immigration restrictions, namely the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, made it nearly impossible for Chinese to immigrate to the United States. It was the only law in American history to deny citizenship or entry into the United States based upon a specific nationality. Only merchants, diplomats and sons of citizens were allowed into the U.S. During the 1920's 30's and 40's many immigrants from China arrived in the United States with purchased citizenships. Those who utilized this method to enter the U.S. were known as "paper sons."

Rubin, Jakob and Ernestine : Riding the Trans Siberian Railroad to Angel Island by Lia Dun
Year of Arrival 1940
Jakob Rubin and his wife Ernestine arrived at Angel Island from Vienna, Germany on August 28, 1940. Jakob and Ernestine were both Jewish, and although neither directly stated their reason for leaving Germany, it can be assumed they were trying to escape the mounting persecution against Jewish people in the years directly preceding World War II. In Vienna, Jakob worked as an office clerk buying and selling men's clothes in a department store; however, according to his interrogation records, he "was forced to leave that business." His response hints at actions of Hitler's early regime that forced Germany's Jewish population out of employment (Krystallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, in which over 7,000 Jewish businesses were destroyed in Germany and parts of Austria, had occurred just two years prior). Jakob also mentioned not being able to contact his brother in France for five months "Because it was impossible to get anything" and that his other brother in Vienna was no longer operating his business for similar reasons—"because it is impossible"—again suggesting the presence of the Nazi regime. According to an account by Jakob's brother-in-law Alfred Marill, at the time Marill Rubin left the country (Jakob mentioned in this interrogation report that his sister Klara and her husband Alfred came to the US with him and Ernestine on the same ship), 25,000 out of Vienna's 30,000 Jewish residents were "fed by the community."

Not only did he get questioned during the process of returning from Japan to the U.S., but after World War II broke out, he was detained on the island when it served as a temporary internment center for the Department of Army.

He was then admitted to Banaras Hindu University where he studied Mechanical Engineering for four years. After graduation, many of his friends wanted to study further in the United States, and so Mahesh also looked into Masters programs in U.S. universities. He eventually applied and was accepted to a number of programs including ones in Chicago, Texas, and Berkeley. Without knowing much about these U.S. cities, he decided on the University of California, Berkeley because he heard it was too cold in Chicago and that cowboys might shoot him in Texas.

Year of Arrival 1913
Valarie Kaur is an award-winning filmmaker, civil rights advocate, and interfaith leader who centers her work around the power of storytelling. She is the founder of Groundswell at Auburn Seminary, a non-profit initiative with 100,000+ members that equips people of faith to mobilize for social change. For the last decade, she has led national campaigns responding to hate crimes, racial profiling, immigration detention, and solitary confinement. She and her husband and filmmaking partner Sharat Raju made an eleven-minute film about her grandfather Kehar Singh, and recently learned more from AIISF and the National Archives about Mr. Singh's detention on Angel Island in 1913. Valarie will be starting work on a book this year that includes her grandfather's story.

An employer's internal e-mails showed that a "professional standards investigation" conducted on an employee was actually a retaliation for the employee's work refusal, an adjudicator has held, finding a violation of the Canada Labour Code.
A Border Services Officer with the Canada Border Services Agency refused to work due to certain security issues, including what she claimed was a need for an enhanced armed presence at the border.
In the midst of a hearing about whether the work refusal was justified, she supplied certain "protected" CBSA documents to her lawyer. The CBSA raised concerns, and conducted a "Professional Standards Investigation" into the allegedly unlawful disclosure of the "protected" documents to her lawyer. An investigator concluded that the employee had breached CBSA Security Policy, and the CBSA then directed the employee to participate in a "learning conversation" regarding sharing of "protected" documents.
The employee claimed that the "learning conversation" was a reprisal for her work refusal. She obtained certain e-mails sent by CBSA, one of which said that she had "pulled a work refusal".
The adjudicator found that the tone of the e-mails showed that the CBSA was frustrated with the employee's work refusal, wanted her to stop pursuing the security matters, and hoped that the professional standards investigation would cause her to stop. Further, the use of the "learning conversation" was a "carefully chosen ruse" intended to avoid the finding that she was being disciplined because of her work refusal.
In the result, the adjudicator held that the CBSA had violated section 147 of Part II of the Canada Labour Code by retaliating against the worker for raising safety issues.
This decision demonstrates how all of an employer's actions towards an employee, including investigations, will be scrutinized in safety-reprisal cases. Also, even the "tone" of e-mails can haunt an employer if they suggest frustration with the employee's safety-related activities.

The National Treasure reception in Irvington, N.Y., May 2014
In Irvington, N.Y., there stands Madam C. J. Walker's "Villa Lewaro," a restored, elegant historic residence that embodies the optimism and perseverance of American entrepreneurship. This newly designated National Treasure reveals Madam Walker's unparalleled accomplishments in the face of a 20th-century segregated America and at a time before women had the right to vote. With the rising success of Oprah Winfrey, Ursula Burns, Queen Latifah, Tyra Banks, Indra Nooyi, Mary Barra, and other businesswomen, it's important that we preserve the past to enrich the future....

Election 2013: Mayoral candidate Leeman says he's Lansing's 'neighborhood candidate'
By Current State
Our Election 2013 coverage wraps up today with Lansing mayor Virg Bernero's opponent, Harold Leeman Jr.
Leeman is a former member of the Lansing city council, where he represented the city's first ward for 12 years. He was president of the council for the last two years he served, and then narrowly lost his seat on the council in 2007. Since then, he's lost races to regain the council seat, and also campaigns for the Ingham County Board of Commissioners as well as for the state House.
In August, he finished second in the primary election, behind Bernero, and thus won the right to challenge Bernero for mayor.
Leeman says Lansing's neighborhoods have been neglected by the Bernero administration.

1.sausage containing ground liver
Advertizing ▼
definition of Wikipedia
Advertizing ▼
flesh, meat[Hyper.]
liverwurst (n.)↕
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (October 2008)
The German Leberwurst (anglicized as liverwurst), that translates literally as "liver sausage," is the typical sausage served in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Romania (especially in Transylvania).
Most liverwurst varieties are spreadable. Liverwurst normally contains pigs' livers, rather than calves' livers and also contains veal. Only about 10–20% of the sausage is actually made using pork liver, which is enough to give it a distinctive liver-taste. Other ingredients are meat, fat, and spices including ground black pepper, marjoram, allspice, thyme, ground mustard seed, or nutmeg. Many regions in Germany have distinct recipes for liverwurst. Adding ingredients like pieces of onion or bacon to the recipe make each variety of liverwurst very important to cultural identity. For example, the Thüringer Leberwurst has a Protected Geographical Status throughout the EU. Recently, more exotic additions such as cowberries and mushrooms have gained popularity.
Another German variety, especially in the Rhineland region, is pan-fried liverwurst that is served with large amounts of fried onions, and a chunky mixture of mashed apples and potatoes. Dishes, like this one served in the Rhineland region, that have mixtures of spicy and sweet flavors are regionally common.[citation needed]
In Hungary, liverwurst is customarily served on open sandwiches, or with cheese as a filling for pancakes which are baked in the oven.
In Romania Liverwurst is called Lebar[1], but unlike the German sausage Leberwurst that uses beef, the Lebar use only pork's meat. Lebar is eaten mainly for the winter holidays. It tastes fragrant and sweet with liver pate. It is generally used as input to Christmas eve dinner, sliced on bread with mustard and muraturi[2].
Liverwurst is typically eaten as is and without further cooking. It is often served in traditional sandwiches or on open-faced sandwiches. It is popular in North America with red onion and mustard on a rye or whole grain bread. In Germany, the Southern USA, and the Western USA, liverwurst is served with slices of gherkin that are pickled with sugar, vinegar, and mustard seeds. In the Northeast USA, liverwurst is served with gherkins that are pickled with salt and a usual addition of dill.
Pasztetowa is made using calf liver, more substantial like in texture than pork variety, more refined taste and generally served on "Rye" bread with horseradish style mustard. Popular throughout the year but served at Christmas and Easter especially.

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

This is a continuation of the previous post on how to make Model Horse Fencing, which itself was a continuation of the how to make Model Horse Display Bases. I think I'm starting a theme here! 😉
You would think with all the scale model hobbies out there that finding instructions on how to age scale wood fences would be easy… but not so much! I found plenty of articles on how to age normal wood, but when you are working with balsa wood and basswood, the pickings are pretty slim.
These are the best of the bunch:
- How To Build Scale Wooden Fences for IHMN or Historical Wargames
- miniature building construction in foamboard < – This one is AMAZING work!
So below are my experiments on turning the basic basswood and balsa wood planks into something a bit more weathered. Continue reading How to Make Aged or Stained Model Fencing

Property Details
Fully reserved for the Summer. Please ask about our other beach cottages on VRBO
Located right on North Beach! The Lake House on Grand is a family owned home with a magical setting on North Beach. A 30 second, level stroll brings you to the beach and Lake Michigan. Just around the corner is the Harbor Walk on the Black River. What a wonderful place to relax, read a good book or just watch the parade of boats going by.
Start each morning sipping coffee on the front patio. Overflowing with tropical flowers, it's a relaxing place to get away from it all. Then move inside to find fresh Lake breezes and fantastic light entering through the oversized windows. The spacious dining room and adjacent kitchen provide plenty of room for family dinners. The house is decorated to create both a mood of relaxed elegance and comfortable charm through a soothing palette of soft greens, blues and grays.
Feel rejuvenated after spending a day at the Lake. Retreat to the quiet quarters of the Lake House and experience the pleasure of an unplugged, slower life style. Create cherished memories of family vacations spent playing games, reading favorite books and telling the kids treasured family stories. In the evening sit on the harbor wall, listen to live music from across the River and watch the flickering harbor lights.
The Lake House is located just a short stroll from marinas, the park and downtown South Haven. The Maritime Museum and our old fashioned movie theatre are within walking distance too.
Leave your car at the beach. You won't need it!

Matt Cooke suspended for remainder of regular season and first round of playoffs for elbow on Ryan McDonagh
|03.21.11 at 5:26 pm ET
The NHL announced Monday Penguins forward Matt Cooke has been suspended for the remainder of the regular season and the first round of the playoffs for an elbow on Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh that took place Sunday. It is the fourth suspension of Cooke's career, and second of this season.
"Mr. Cooke, a repeat offender, directly and unnecessarily targeted the head of an opponent who was in an unsuspecting and vulnerable position," Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell said following the ruling. "This isn't the first time this season that we have had to address dangerous behavior on the ice by Mr. Cooke, and his conduct requires an appropriately harsh response."
The Penguins weren't looking too good when Mario Lemieux, who employs Cooke, complained about dirty play following the team's game against the Islanders last month. This time around, the Pittsburgh organization wants to make sure everyone knows where they stand.
'The suspension is warranted because that's exactly the kind of hit we're trying to get out of the game," Penguins general manager Ray Shero said in a statement Monday. "Head shots have no place in hockey. We've told Matt in no uncertain terms that this kind of action on the ice is unacceptable and cannot happen. Head shots must be dealt with severely, and the Pittsburgh Penguins support the NHL in sending this very strong message.'
Cooke has long been criticized as one of the league's dirtier players, and was responsible for a blindside hit last March that has left Bruins center Marc Savard with concussion issues. Savard is currently out for the season after a routine hit from Avalanche defenseman Matt Hunwick caused another concussion from which he is still recovering.

Local bands battle for slots at Summerfest
It's during bleak weather weeks like these when it's best to just close your eyes and dream of summer, and the big event of the season, Summerfest. Already five headliners for the Marcus Amphitheater have been announced, and local band battles, where winners can get a slot at the Big Gig, are heating up.
The Battle for Catalano tournament has been going on since Jan. 13, with three bands competing nearly every Sunday at Club Charlie's, 320 E. Menomonee St. Last year's inaugural battle had 18 bands fighting for a gig at Ayre in the Square, the outdoor music event at Catalano Square, with spirited Celtic punk group Whiskey of the Damned walking away the winner. This year, there are 27 combatants. One act will win not only the Summerfest slot, but also a six-hour recording session with National Recording and a photo shoot with photographer Dawn Bloomfield. »Read Full Article

Milwaukee band Revomatics re-create '60s surfer music
Like Carly Rae Jepsen and Robin Thicke, the Revomatics' sound is strongly affiliated with summer. But in the Revomatics' case, it's the sound of summer from 50 years ago.
"Surf music is the punk rock of the early 1960s," said bassist Peter Flessas of the local surf-rock band. "It was dynamic music, but it was all instrumental, and you didn't have to have a big budget. It enabled young musicians to get their music out there." »Read Full Article(2)

There are always rumors of celebrities who've agreed to have open marriages. Mo'Nique and hubby Sidney Hicks, Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith and Tiny and T.I. have all been rumored to spread the love outside of their holy unions.
While many celebs, including "Basketball Wives: LA" star, Jackie Christie who's been married for 16 years, denounce the practice, some, such as her "BBW: Miami" colleague, Evelyn Lozada, don't seem so repulsed by the idea, but do open relationships work?
Sister 2 Sister fans have made their opinions clear. In a recent poll about open marriages, a whopping 84 percent responded that "open marriages are a terrible idea that lead to divorce." Fourteen percent believe "it can work if both parties are completely down for it." While only 1 percent of the more than 3,000 users who participated in the survey said, "Do it!"
It's not a huge surprise that a mostly female audience would feel that way, so Sister 2 Sister turned to reality star and relationship guru Dr. Tiy-E to get a man's perspective on the issue.
He said, "There is nothing under the laws of marriage that permits such hypocrisy and foolishness. If you don't feel the spiritual commitment to your mate, join a polygamist community and live happy every after."
However, Tiy-E didn't completely condemn the open marriage thing, giving a bit of leeway to those religions that honor polygamist lifestyles.
That's the "only time open relationships should be deemed acceptable," he said.
It makes sense to oppose an open marriage if one person isn't down with it, but if two consenting adults agree to let others into their bedroom, why is that an issue?
"There are no pros only cons," Tiy-E said. "The problem comes in with people not wanting to grow and accept discipline and sacrifice in their lives," he said. "If your mate don't desire a monogamous marriage, file for divorce immediately and bid farewell."
So, what's that mean for couples like Evelyn and Chad who consider "loose" arrangements that don't require monogamy. Tiy-E suggested that in healthy marriages, spouses look to one another to fill those needs by being open and honest.
"If we spent a little more time openly communicating about our wants and desires, we'll have more successful marriages. Your mate can fulfill your fantasy 90 percent of the time if they know what it is and 0 percent if they don't," he advised.

SIBS polymers, like other styrene block copolymers, consist of block segments of styrene monomer and rubber monomer units. However, these polymers also contain an unsaturated elastomer, or rubber unit, consisting of isoprene and 1,3-butadiene. Figure 1 illustrates the mixed chemical mid-block of SIBS polymers. It is important to note that the unique polymerization process used to manufacture these polymers can yield both linear and radial polymer structures useful for tailoring polymers to specific performance requirements.
Preferred Label Polymer PropertiesPreferred SBC label polymers have properties that provide significant adhesive formulating flexibility, such as low viscosity and acceptable strength, and can be easily tackified to yield efficiently die-cut adhesives. Polymers with high melt flow rates, a radial structure, low styrene and high diblock content are most often used to meet these requirements. The typical physical properties of Kraton MD6465BT are listed in Table 1.
Characterizing the viscoelastic properties of a polymer can provide valuable insight into formulating adhesives with the desired properties. A key reason why SBCs have not been used as neat polymers in adhesive applications is that the compliance of the material (J, J = 1/G) is too low to conform to the bonding surface on a microscopic level. To develop adhesion, molecular distances between the adhesive and substrate must reach an interatomic distance of less than 1 nanometer. Dahlquist has theorized that the modulus of a material must be less than 3.3 105 Pa to adhere to a surface.
Adding low-molecular-weight materials that are compatible with the rubber mid-block phase can reduce the SBC's modulus. Modulus reduction is accomplished by two effects: lowering the styrene content of the mixed system, and plasticizing and swelling of the rubber phase, which leads to a decrease in physical crosslink. However, simply lowering the modulus to a value less than 3.3 105 Pa by the addition of a compatible plasticizer, such as process oil, does not develop adhesion. It is found that an oiled SBC will form an intimate association with a substrate, but the bonding force is too small, and the polymer system is easily removed. To develop tack and adhesion at room temperature, the internal viscosity and resistance to peel of the elastomeric phase must be increased. Specifically, the glass-transition temperature (Tg) of the elastomeric phase must be increased from the values of the pure elastomer (isoprene = -58°C/-72°F, butadiene = -84°C/-119°F) to values between -10°C/14°F and 10°C/50°F. This is accomplished by adding tackifying resins.
Tackifying SIBS PolymersSince SIBS polymers are styrenic block copolymers, tackifying resins and other additives have an affinity for either of the two phases with which to interact. SIBS polymers have two glass-transition temperatures - an upper (about 100°C for the polystyrene domains) and a lower (about -73°C for the isoprene-butadiene mid-block). SIBS polymers can be effectively tackified using resins from any of the major resin categories, such as aromatic modified C5 hydrocarbons, partially and fully hydrogenated hydrocarbons, rosin esters (gum, wood, and tall oil derivatives), and modified terpenes.
Hildebrand solubility parameters for various polymer materials and the tackifying resin groups that are compatible with them are identified in Figure 3. As the solubility parameter for SIBS polymers' elastomer phase, isoprene–butadiene midblock, is slightly higher (8.3) than that of the isoprene mid-block of SIS polymers (8.1), we suggest tackifying resins that contain a higher aromatic content. For example, to effectively tackify SIBS polymers using modified C5 hydrocarbon resins, those resins having an aromatic content of >10% (preferably >15%) are suggested for pressure-sensitive adhesives.
Thermal StabilityThere is an important difference in the mechanism of degradation between SBS and SIS polymers. SBS polymers can degrade by crosslinking in the mid-block. A formulation containing a high concentration of an SBS polymer, and held at high temperature in a mixer or holding tank for an excessive period of time, may form gel particles as degradation occurs and generally increases in viscosity. SIS polymers degrade by chain scission of the polyisoprene chain. A formulation based on an SIS polymer degraded at high temperature will show a loss in melt viscosity, but no gel will form.
Because of their unique isoprene/butadiene mid-block chemistry, adhesives formulated with SIBS polymers are less subject to viscosity change during prolonged heat conditions. SIBS polymers can be mixed similar to conventional mid-block polymers, and the same level of care and good manufacturing practices should be followed. Figure 4 shows the viscosity retention in percent for hot-melt adhesive formulations containing polymer, hydrocarbon tackifying resin, naphthenic oil and antioxidant based on SIBS and SIS polymers. As demonstrated, SIBS polymers show excellent viscosity retention during heat aging.
Although many antioxidants work well and are suitable for use with SIBS polymers, Irganox® 1726 (4,6-bis [dodecylthiomethyl]-o-cresol), manufactured by Ciba Specialty Chemicals, is an exceptional antioxidant for these polymers. It is particularly effective in preventing polybutadiene gels and in retarding color generation. Antioxidant levels of 0.3-0.5% are usually sufficient for typical hot-melt applications.
Adhesive Formulations and PerformanceMD6465BT will find use in PSA label adhesives ranging from high-tack permanent adhesives to lower-tack removable and specialty-type labels. Table 2 shows formulations (based on material weight percent) using MD6465BT for removable, permanent and low-temperature adhesives. The tackifying resins used are manufactured by Cray Valley.
Maintaining tack at low temperatures is critical in refrigerated and freezer label applications. PSAs using MD6465BT can be formulated to produce adhesives with superior low-temperature tack. Figure 5 shows that a 5-10°C improvement in low-temperature rolling ball tack can be expected using MD6465BT over a comparable SIS polymer. Most adhesives at lower temperatures become less tacky, which requires the use of specialty additives to achieve the necessary adhesive performance. MD6465BT, with its superior low-temperature performance, offers formulators to use fewer of these more-expensive additives, such as liquid tackifying resins.
Formulators often choose to blend SIS and SBS with SB polymers for improved economics. However, SIS polymers have limited compatibility with SBS and SB polymers in many formulations. SIBS polymers offer improved compatibility with SBS and SB polymers over conventional SIS polymers. This additional level of compatibility can help improve adhesive formulation performance. Specifically, when compared to SIS polymers, SIBS polymers:
- Accept higher levels of SBS polymer for improved economics and still maintain critical PSA performance properties.
- Produce adhesives with better heat stability and reduced gel content.
- Produce formulations with significantly improved clarity.
ConclusionIn conclusion, SIBS polymers, when formulated for PSA label applications:
- Provide an excellent balance of tack, peel and shear adhesion.
- Create value and offer economical formulating latitude and compatibility with diverse ranges of formulating materials including tackifying resins, plasticizers, fillers, and additives.
- Yield a dual mechanism of chain scission and crosslinking that results in hot-melt formulations with improved viscosity stability due to their isoprene and butadiene midblock.
- Provide superior tack at lower temperatures for demanding refrigerator and freezer applications.
- Yield high-clarity adhesives when formulated with SIS, SBS and SB polymers.

1937 - 2013 |
After a long battle with prostate cancer, Darwin A. Thompson of Fort Bragg, died on Sept. 11, 2013, in his home with his family at his bedside. Darwin was born on June 23, 1937, in Fort Bragg to Horace and Ann Thompson of Westport. He was 76 at the time of his death.
Darwin grew up in Westport and graduated from Fort Bragg High School in 1956. After school he worked in the fishing industry and at the Union Lumber Company for a short time before heading out on his "Great Idaho Adventure." Upon returning from his adventure, he married his high school sweetheart, Patricia DeOliveria, whom he met during the Labor Day Parade as his float followed hers and she threw grapes at him. He then settled into carpentry and later purchased Thompson's Septic Service, from which he retired.
Darwin was an avid skin and scuba diver, belonging to the FB Red Snappers, Ukiah Snorkel Snoopers and the Richmond Pelicans. He will be remembered for always limiting out on his abalone and, to everyone's dismay, his would be the biggest. Darwin played rhythm guitar in the Sand Dollars dance band with his late wife, Pat. For many years they would provide music for club gatherings and weddings. While Darwin enjoyed it, he would never play the guitar unless his wife was playing the organ.
Darwin will be missed by his survivors; Debra Hendricks, daughter; David Thompson, son; Leah & Sam Thompson, grandchildren; Marie Thompson, daughter-in-law; Terry Hendricks, son-in-law; Sandra Schnaubelt, friend; and his brothers, Robert, Melvin, Richard and Allyn Thompson. He was predeceased by his wife, Patricia, in 1990.
A memorial service was held on Sept. 17, 2013, at the Westport Cemetery and Church. Arrangements were made by Chapel by the Sea and the community of Westport. His family will be forever grateful for their kindness, support and hard work.
Memorial donations may be made to an organization of the donor's personal choice.
