Project Description
Short Summary
The objective of this project is to develop and evaluate methods to measure the surface area of airborne nanomaterials over a particle size range of interest. A number of studies associate the surface area of insoluble particles, including nanoparticles/nanomaterials, with an inflammatory response in the lungs. The proposed research aims to support the strategic goals of the NIOSH Nanotechnology Research Center (NTRC), the Manufacturing Sector, and the Respiratory Diseases cross-sector to eliminate occupational diseases, injuries, and fatalities among workers in manufacturing industries, including nanotechnology, possibly caused by nanoparticles/nanomaterials. Complete characterization of surface area measurement methods, and their application to toxicity studies, will provide a basis for understanding whether surface area is a more appropriate measure than mass for evaluating nanomaterial toxicity. This project is supported by NIOSH NTRC funding.
A number of studies have associated the surface area of insoluble particles, including nanoparticles/ nanomaterials, with inflammatory response in the lungs, and in this respect surface area seems to be a promising exposure metric for airborne nanostructured particles. In order to better understand whether surface area is a more appropriate measure than mass for evaluating toxicity and to reevaluate current exposure standards, it is necessary to monitor exposures to nanomaterials in terms of surface area. To accomplish this, the development of reliable real-time methods for measuring aerosol surface area is required.
The overall objective of this project is development and evaluation of methods to measure the surface area of airborne nanomaterials with different physicochemical properties over a wide size range of interest. One objective is to investigate the differences between instrument responses to spherical and nonspherical particles, as well as between sub-100 nm and super-100 nm particles. This work may permit extension of the existing theory of diffusion charging and application of the instrument to surface area measurements on non-spherical particles. Overall, the complete characterization of surface area instruments and methods, and their application to determining the toxicity of nanomaterials, will provide a basis for understanding whether surface area is a more appropriate measure than mass for evaluating toxicity. The intermediate outcomes of this project will be determined through communication with other researchers and other obvious indicators such as citations of this research by other investigators.
Mission Relevance
Nanotechnology is one of the fastest growing industries in the United States, and globally. Many industries/laboratories are developing a wide variety of nanomaterials for use in electronics, medical diagnostics and therapies, construction materials, personal care products, paints and coatings, energy production, sensors, and many other applications. By year 2015, nanotechnology is projected to have a $1 trillion impact globally and employ about 2 million workers. The exponential growth in this emerging technology is causing widespread concern because little is known about its potential risks. Increased production is expected to increase the risk of exposure to new, highly unusual, and high specific surface area nanomaterials.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - As a young man coming out of the University of Scranton in the late 1990s, Mike Ondo had tunnel vision in terms of how a major-league baseball organization operated.
That's why the Phillies' director of professional scouting set his ultimate goal of becoming a general manager.
"I was naive when I started, thinking you had to be the GM," Ondo said before a spring-training game earlier this month. "The longer I've been here, I've seen how things work and how everything fits together. There are a lot of other jobs that are very important that go on behind the scenes."

Johnson's crew chief surprised by suspension
AVONDALE, Ariz. Jimmie Johnson's car failed inspection before the Daytona 500 and he didn't last long in the race, collected in a wreck on the second lap.
His crew chief was suspended six races and fined $100,000, and his car chief will have to watch for six races, too. Johnson also was docked 25 points and heads into this weekend's race at Phoenix International Raceway last in the Sprint Cup standings.
He's hoping to have a good race just so he can get out of the red in points. Coming off his worst year in NASCAR, this isn't how the five-time champion wanted to get his season started.
"It's certainly not a position we want to be in," Johnson said Friday. "But there's a lot of racing between now and September."
Johnson wasn't much of a factor last season in his bid to win six straight Sprint Cup championships. He made the Chase after winning just one race and finished sixth in the final standings, 99 points behind champion Tony Stewart.
Johnson vowed to turn it around in 2012, but it didn't get off to a very good start.
First, his car failed inspection the opening day of Speedweeks on Feb. 17 after NASCAR ruled the No. 48 Chevrolet had illegally modified sheet metal between the roof and the side windows, an area known as the C-posts.
Johnson qualified eighth for the Daytona 500. But after nearly two days of rain delays, he was knocked out of the race on the second lap when Elliott Sadler nudged him from behind and triggered a multi-car wreck.
Johnson didn't return to the track - missing the jet blower fire and the laundry detergent cleanup - and finished 42nd, earning just two points in Monday night's season-opening race.
Two days later, NASCAR announced its steep penalties for Johnson's team.
Crew chief Chad Knaus was fined $100,000 and suspended six races, and car chief Ron Malec was told he'd have to sit out six races. Hendrick Motorsports appealed, so both chiefs will be allowed to attend races during the process.
Johnson also was penalized, dropping him to minus 23 points, 70 behind Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth in the season standings.
"It's going to make things exciting and that's something we like to do with the 48 team," Knaus said. "It seems somehow or another we seem to get through adversity pretty well. So, I'm not saying we like a challenge like this but I'm pretty sure we'll rise to the occasion."
The wreck at Daytona was hard to take, but unavoidable, one of those tough-luck breaks that come with racing.
The failed inspection and subsequent suspension caught the team off-guard.
Knaus said the car had passed inspection on "multiple occasions" with the same configuration and that they didn't anticipate any problems heading into Speedweeks. He also said the failed inspection was based on an eyeball test, not anything technical.
"It was all visual," he said. "The templates never were actually put on the car. We never got the opportunity to present it on the templates. That definitely will come up during the appeal and we'll talk about it. NASCAR has a good set of standards that are black and white and others that are not."

Miguel de Icaza Criticizes Plans for Gtk+ 3
At first, plans for Gtk+ 3 were considered unnecessary – the developers themselves considered the 2.x version mature enough – now, some developers are toying with the idea of developing Gtk+ 3. Gnome founder Miguel de Icaza comments on and criticizes the developments in his blog.
Miguel de Icaza doubts that work on the new release will be successful unless people take time to rethink the strategy. Just a couple of days after Gtk+ developer Kristian Rietveld revealed plans for a 3.0 version of the GUI toolkit and the desktop environment at the Gnome developer conference, Guadec, de Icaza fears a disaster. He says that the plans sound like a disaster, and that application developers were underrepresented when they were drafted. Icaza pleads for a clear roadmap and detailed definitions of the new features saying that it is not enough to mention features without explaining what they are.
At the same time, the Gnome founder and inventor of Mono criticizes plans for redeveloping the API. He fears multiple changes to the interfaces as there are currently no plans for reference implementations, not to mention working code. However, without this there could be no guarantees that changes would be compatible with applications and later releases would use a different API.
De Icaza is not entirely against the plans, but he does demand a clear roadmap, working code for the technologies, and above more discussions about the APIs in the developer community. On top of this, he sees the need for a transitional 2.x release that would give developers and distributors enough time to incorporate changes.

Rep Power:
I did some more investigating, you're right that the tank is in the V berth. The hose runs through the port hanging locker in the V berth, and there's a T fitting which looks like it ran up to the where the deck fill used to be. It's been filled and painted over, you can't tell where it was. I think there's non-skid over it now.
I have a couple of follow-up questions: is there a way to seal the top without glassing it in that won't make the water taste weird or leech chemicals? I have a tube of 3M 4000 UV that I've been using for deck hardware and portlights, but I don't know if that's good for this application. It looks like it was screwed down previously, some residue from a seal maybe but it was cleaned up well and hard to tell what was there, maybe butyl rubber?
The gel coat that's in there now is in good shape. Should I paint it anyway? Epoxy?

FAQ: What are the best ways to send money to an individual?
Overview of the facts
In the modern world of e-payments, e-bills, e-banking, e-trade, and even e-cigarettes, the increasing electronization of payments makes it easier to manage your finances without carrying around cash and checks. If you find yourself needing to transfer funds to another person as a gift or repayment, you may wonder which electronic payment option is best. NerdWallet is here to outline the various costs and speeds associated with different funds transfer methods.
|Type of Transfer
|Best For
|Wire Transfer
|same day
|Fast international transfers
|ACH transfer
|$0 within the same bank, ~$3 between two banks
|1-3 days
|Within-bank transfers and fast domestic transfers
|3-5 days
|Slower international and domestic transfers
|Mobile App
|same day
|Fast transfers to split bills or pay back friends
NerdWallet's recommendations
If the recipient uses the same bank that you do, the best way to send money is through your bank.
- Transferring funds between your account and someone else's account within the same bank is usually free, although this varies with the financial institution.
- Transfers within the bank occur the same day.
- Transfers between bank accounts at two different banks, whether they are both your own accounts or not, are more costly. Wells Fargo charges $15 for incoming domestic wire transfers and $30 for outgoing domestic wire transfers. For electronic (ACH) transfers, the fees are much lower. Wells Fargo, for example, charges $3 per transfer, but some banks don't offer ACH transfers as an option yet.
- You can't do an ACH transfer overseas, so a wire transfer is the only option if you want to go through your bank.
If the recipient uses a different bank than you, the best way to send money is through PayPal
Known for their stellar payment security, PayPal is a favorite for online vendors like eBay, Etsy, and Amazon. Plus they have recently partnered with Bump to put out a smartphone app. PayPal is ideal for transferring money to friends and family or transferring amounts less than $500/month between two of your own bank accounts at different banks.
- Domestic Transfers to a Friend: PayPal is free for you and the recipient when you either link a bank account or pay using your PayPal balance. If you don't want to link your account, you can send money from a debit or credit card for a fee of .30 per transaction plus 2.9% of the amount sent.
- International Transfers: PayPal charges between .05% and 2% for transfers funded by a linked bank account or PayPal balance, and 3.4% to 3.9% for transfers funded by a credit or debit card.
- Two Personal Bank Accounts at Different Banks: PayPal will send up to $500 per month absolutely free. You just need to link both of your bank accounts to your PayPal account. It does take several days to process both payments.
A new option: mobile apps
For money transfers among friends, mobile apps are taking over the market. These mobile apps are ideal for paying a friend back for dinner or concert tickets.
Although it is still in its beta version, Clover is an up-and-coming mobile app designed to facilitate money transfers between peers. Users can send requests to contacts and pay each other directly through their mobile devices. Clover plans to expand to payment through SMS and email as well.
Venmo is similar to Clover in its utility for splitting the dinner bill, and it also comes with a twitter-esque feed of your friends and their recent payments. While the amount of amusement you will derive from viewing your friends' payment history is debatable, the app itself is fast and easy to use.
Some banks now offer mobile apps that facilitate payments between individuals at no charge to either party. Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, ING Direct and US Bank all allow customers to send money to an individual at a different US-based bank for free. Check out our post, Mobile Banking: An Overview of 15 Banks and Credit Unions for more information.
Other expert opinions
- Gilles Gade, CEO of Cross River Bank, a community bank
"The best way to send money to an individual would be the availability of peer-to-peer payment systems, the mechanism to pay someone directly by cell phone or other mobile devices. This is a good way to go for small payment amounts up to $500. Most people would only be comfortable sending small amounts through mobile devices"
- Mikey Rox, staff writer at WiseBread, host of web series SpendSavvy
"I prefer PayPal – it's fast, safe, and easy (senders should use the friend option when sending so no fees are charged on either end) – but for people hesitant to have their banking info online, a check in the mail still works just fine."

The Colorful Side of a War Photographer
Sunday, February 16, 2014
Never before seen color photos by Hungarian war photographer and photojournalist Robert Capa are on view in New York.
An exhibit at the International Center of Photography features over one hundred color photos from the 1940s and 50s. They include shots of actress Ava Gardner, author Truman Capote and artist Pablo Picasso.
Daniel Cole, a college student in New York who grew up in Spain, said he was familiar with Capa's work from the Spaniard Civil war, but that the exhibit shows another side of him. "I've really perceived him as this great black and white photographer and so, to see it in color made me think of him a lot differently," he said.
The exhibit is on display until May 4th.

In a very official statement, the White House has welcomed the newest member of the first family: Sunny.
As a new parent, with hardly any experience dealing with babies to refer to, I often look at what my daughter is doing ask myself, "Is that behavior normal?" Just shy of a year old, she shares almost everything she has: toys, treasures and especially her (organic and very expensive) snacks with the family dogs
On the show this morning (July12), I told about an incident that happened while Suri Cruise and her mother, Katie Holmes, were leaving a store in NYC. While walking to their car, they were swarmed by the photo devils we call the paparazzi. If THAT wasn't bad enough, they verbally insulted and verbally abused the little girl.
If you need of directions, you just might be getting a little Hoosier hospitality the next time you use your navigation system.
That's because General Motors has begun phasing in 48-year-old Diane Williamson of New Albany, Indiana as the new voice for the popular OnStar navigation and safety feature that can be found in many of GM's automobiles.
One day, when I went to pick up my daughter from the babysitter, I saw two neighborhood boys outside playing with toy guns. I heard a disturbing, "Bam, I shot you and you're dead now!" Are elementary-age children so desensitized to guns and killing that they play shoot-em-up? Of course, I'm sure even my dad played 'Cops and Robbers' or 'Cowboys and Indians' with the same toy guns way back before violence on TV or video games and the likelihood of these kids ever turning into psychopathic killers is slim but it still was disturbing to me
A 13-year-old boy in Louisiana has been charged with second degree murder following the tragic death of his little sister - Viloude Louis, a 5-year-old who loved to sing and play. The boy admitted to practicing WWE moves on the 5-year-old girl while their mother was at the store
I first read this story this morning and became extremely alarmed because I am a Verizon customer. On April 25, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) authorized the FBI and the Federal Government to obtain the phone records of millions, if not all Verizon customers for a three-month period ending on July 19. Am I just being paranoid or does that sound really, really scary?
It will soon be legal to carry switchblades in the Hoosier state, as a regulation that has been on the books for decades will finally be removed from a laundry list of seemingly dumb Indiana laws.
This summer, Indiana will strengthen the ranks of heathens and petty thugs by lifting the ban on spring-loaded knive
When you are a performer, and yes this even applies to Jon and myself, there is a saying that 'the show must go on'. That means that no matter what is going on in your personal life, you have to set it aside and entertain. I have to admit, that some days, it is VERY hard to do that.
Can you imagine how hard it was for the artists from Oklahoma to perform last night at the 'Healing the Heartland' benefit concert? Being there, viewing first hand the devastation in your beloved state, had to be overwhelming. For Miranda Lambert, who performed 'The House That Built Me', it proved to be too much.
The devastation in Moore, Oklahoma goes beyond comprehension and the death toll, unfortunately, continues to rise after yesterday's massive tornado that all but leveled the town of Moore. All of us in the Tri-State want to do anything we can to help and the best way to help is by making donations to the American Red Cross by calling 812-471-7200 or online at redcross.org/tristate.

Evolve Brings Home Automation, Usable Alarm Clocks to Hotels
Android-based Evolve AI helps guests control hotel environment including lights, thermostat, music, concierge service and other amenities.
The product will be on display in the Z-Wave pavilion at CES 2013.
Evolve already had been gaining traction in hospitality with its rather inelegant keypad controllers, but the new touchscreen makes it simple for technophobic guests to accomplish traditionally impossible hotel tasks – like adjusting the temperature.
Walk through the interactive demo: You tell me.
It is one of those eternal questions: Why is it so impossible to set the alarm in a hotel room? Evolve AI answers that with an intuitive alarm-clock interface that makes it simple to select the wake-up time, snooze intervals and even the alarm sound.
Built-in Z-Wave technology allows guests to control the lights, thermostats, motorized shades or any other amenities the hotel wishes to provide.
Speaking of amenities, the system lets guests book room service, summon valet-parked cars, reserve tee times and perform other tasks without having to talk to unnaturally pleasant hosts.
With the help of a built-in Wi-Fi connection, the Evolve AI can display headline news, local events, weather and other online information. Streaming audio is provided through AddictedToRadio.com.
The unit also features an iOS port for charging devices and streaming audio through its built-in 2W speakers.
Evolve has a back-end engine called EvolveNet for tying into various hotel systems, and the company can tailor content to suit the hotel's need – like messaging groups (think trade show attendees) or serving up ads.
The company says that the DoubleTree by Hilton in Bristol, Conn., is installing the AI tablet in its suites.

That's a good call out, absolutely...he went from living on his talent alone to becoming the hardest working guy in the sport and it showed up in his results later in his career.
Trying to think of some examples of guys who had rough starts but then buckled down and gave great effort and excelled in the second halves of their career.
Dan Dennis and Phil Keddy
Yes, I can agree with those...or were they guys with average talent who worked their asses off?
rough starts to career and worked their asses off.
Do you think Daniel Dennis plays back Ness's takedown over and over in his head all day?
Man, that was a bad-ass semi: Ness v Oliver, Dennis v Gomez and Graff took 5th. Damn!
1st Ness
2nd Dennis
3rd Gomez
4th Oliver
5th Graff
6th Mitcheff
7th Novachkov
8th Bell
I actually feel sorry for Dennis at the end of this until I see the look on Brands' face. Then I'm giddy.

Hey There everyone, I have a nice webshop design (just sent the psd template in) and I would also like to add it as an opencart theme (and maybe later magento)
Usually I would do this myself since I'm a developer, but I'm stuck in too many projects at the moment.
Is anyone willing to finish the work for me on an hourly rate? (I have done some starting work already, the base is up, but I'm sure 60% – 70% of the work is still needed)
If you have opencart / magento themes up on themeforest already that would be a big plus (since you know what the reviewers are looking out for)
Please let me know.

About the Owner
Guestbook comments from the owner
We had a wonderful time in Florida. Your villa was awesome. It was great to just get up in the a.m. and go sit on the patio and look at the lake while enjoying my morning coffee. If I could have, I would have spent all my time at the pool. Your neighborhood is very quiet. We had all the amenities of home.
The only thing we had to buy were our groceries. I will definitely keep your information for myself and friends in the future. Thanks !

disney vacation
We hope you will plan to return next year.
Wonderful home.
Great four bedroom with pool
The back of the home has open views of the lake and there is a basketball court (basketball in the garage) just up the street. The house was less than 2 minutes off of the turnpike but set back far enough in the neighborhood so it is quiet. Large walkable neighborhood with golf course and clubhouse at opposite end. Only 20 minutes to Downtown Disney, Epcot, Universal Studios, and outlet shopping. 10 minutes to Bonefish Grill at West Loop shopping Center. About 45 minutes to Cocoa Beach, Space Coast and about 1 hour to New Smyrna Beach (only beach that will allow dogs in the area). For the price, this house can't be beat!
The private back yard with a view overlooking the water is definitely a highlight that everyone loves. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in our vacation home in Florida and hope that you will plan to return.
Kind regards,
Thanks for taking the time to share your comments.
Kind regards,
