+ - This Is How Uber Takes Over a City->
Charlie Hales, the mayor of Portland, Ore., was running a zoning hearing last December when he missed a call on his cell from David Plouffe, the campaign mastermind behind Barack Obama's ascent. Although Hales had never met him, Plouffe left a voice mail that had an air of charming familiarity, reminiscing about the 2008 rally when 75,000 Obama supporters thronged Portland's waterfront. "Sure love your city," Plouffe gushed. "I'm now working for Uber and would love to talk."
Over the past year, Uber built one of the largest and most successful lobbying forces in the country, with a presence in almost every statehouse. It has 250 lobbyists and 29 lobbying firms registered in capitols around the nation, at least a third more than Wal-Mart Stores. That doesn't count municipal lobbyists. In Portland, the 28th-largest city in the U.S., 10 people would ultimately register to lobby on Uber's behalf.

My father was a resident at Bramble Lodge. In the time he was there he was treated with the utmost care and compassion. The owner/manager has employed a fantastic group of people. They obviously enjoy their work and they get a lot of training and encouragement. This in turn shows in their commitment to the well being of the residents. All of the staff are professional and helpful, but just as important there is lots of warmth and happiness evident. I believe that the carers are the most important factor in the residential home we choose, and with that in mind I highly recommend Bramble Lodge.

This is a continuation-in-part application of prior application, Ser. No. 805,633, filed 12/06/85 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,618,527 the entire contents of which is incorporated into this application by reference.
The present invention relates to a transparent oriented multilayer film structure having a low haze percentage, excellent non-blocking properties, a consistently low friction value both as an unsupported film and after being subjected to subsequent operations such as printing, lamination to other films, etc.
Polypropylene films are widely used in the packaging industry due to their physical properties, such as, transparency, stiffness, excellent moisture barrier characteristics, etc. With all of its good characteristics, unmodified polypropylene film has the disadvantageous properties of a high inherent coefficient of friction and film-to-film destructive blocking on storage. The high film-to-film coefficient of friction makes it very difficult to be successfully employed in automatic packaging equipment. Even with some films, of the type which will be disclosed herein, conventional coefficient of friction values do not provide a sound basis for predicting the so-called "machineability" characteristics of a film in conventional form, fill and seal packaging machinery. In such cases, the film will not respond to the packaging speed capability of the system and, as a consequence, jamming and/or noisy operation results.
In the past, coefficient of friction characteristics of polypropylene and other thermoplastic films have been beneficially modified by the inclusion in the polymer of fatty acid amides, more particularly, erucamide and oleamide. The effectiveness of this type of material depends upon its ability to migrate to the surface of the films in order to reduce the coefficient of friction. Both of the aforementioned amides are commonly used for reducing coefficient of friction. The development of the desired low coefficient of friction value is strongly dependent upon the type and amount of amides, and time and temperature aging effects. Even the heat history the film has been exposed to while in storage and shipping and during subsequent converter processes, significantly affects the coefficient of friction. In addition, the presence of these types of fatty acid amides on the film surface results in visible adverse effects on the film appearance, manifested by an increase in haze, a decrease in gloss and the presence of streaks. These materials also adversely effect the wettability and adhesion of solvent and water-based inks, coatings and adhesives.
In the case of oriented polypropylene films which are widely used in the food packaging industry, it is common to laminate this film with itself or with other thermoplastic films or with paper films such as glassine paper. When oleamide or erucamide are used in the polypropylene films a significant increase in coefficient of friction has been observed after lamination to such films. It is theorized that this is due either to the migration of the amide back into the polypropylene film or to the loss of the additive layer at the film surface. Therefore, these types of oriented laminated polypropylene films have limited usage for particular converting processes. Attempts to replace these amides types to provide a consistent coefficient of friction have not been successful.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,533,509, there is described a multi-layer structure comprising a comparatively thick base layer of an optically clear thermoplastic resin and a comparatively thin surface layer containing a finely divided inorganic material in a proportion sufficient to thereby impart anti-block characteristics and decrease film-to-film coefficient of friction. The resulting film has non-blocking and improved slip characteristics and these are more stable regarding heat history without any adverse effects on appearance, wetting and adhesion that is typically experienced with amide-modified films. However, when laminated to other films, e.g. glassine paper, such structures exhibit significantly higher coefficient of friction values and cannot be used in conventional form, fill and seal machines.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a film having a consistently low coefficient of friction which accurately forms a basis for the "machineability" of the film in commercial packaging machinery.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a film having superior non-blocking characteristics.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a film having non-blocking and improved slip characteristics which are more stable with regard to the heat history of the film.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a film having non-blocking, and improved slip characteristics which are maintained upon lamination of the film to other films.
According to the present invention there is provided a biaxially oriented film structure comprising:
(I) a comparatively thick base layer of a thermoplastic resin containing an anti-static combination of (a) an RN(R1)2 wherein R is a C6 -C24 alkyl group; R1 is H(OCH2 CH2)n ; n=1-25; and (b) a monoester of an aliphatic C2 -C8 polyhydric alcohol and a C12 -C24 fatty acid; and
(II) a comparatively thin surface layer on at least one surface of (I), said surface layer comprising a thermoplastic resin containing an anti-block and COF reducing proportion of finely divided inorganic material.
The foregoing structure can include a slip-improving proportion of a C12 -C24 fatty amide.
In a preferred form of the invention the described film structure is laminated to or supported by a different film.
In general, the present invention can be practiced with any thermoplastic film, for example, the polyolefins in general, and specifically, polymers, copolymers and blends of ethylene, propylene, butylene, etc., polyesters, such as, polyethylene terephthalate, acrylic polymers and copolymers and the like. The basic film structures of the present invention find utility when supported or laminated to another film in order to accommodate a particular end use. Thus, polymer films different from the base film or paper films can be laminated to the base structure for particular purposes. Such polymeric films include any thermoplastic film different from the base film. Examples of paper films include glassine paper, which is a thin dense paper which is highly resistant to the passage of air and oils.
Particularly preferred polymers employed as the base film herein are the polypropylenes which are highly isotactic. The preferred polypropylenes are well known in the art and are formed by polymerizing propylene in the presence of stereospecific catalysts systems. They can have a melt index at 230� C. ranging from about 0.1-25. The crystalline melting point is about 160� C. The number average molecular weight ranges from about 25,000 to 100,000. The density ranges from about 0.90-0.91.
As indicated above, the core or base substrate of the film structures of the present invention will contain two anti-static compounds and optionally a slip additive. The individual components of the anti-static combination can be present in any proportion which will effectively cope with static problems to an extent greater than that of the individual components of the combination present in a like amount. As a general guide, component (a) i.e. the amine RN(R1)2 can be present in from about 200 to 4500 ppm. The component (b), i.e. the monoester, can be present in the base resin in from 500 to 10,000 ppm.
The optional slip agent, i.e. the C12 -C24 fatty amide, can be present in the base layer in a proportion which in combination with the dual anti-static combination will effectively reduce the drag resistance of the film structure in commercial packaging machinery in its unsupported or its supported form. By this is meant in its unlaminated or laminated form. As a more specific guideline, the fatty amide can be present in from about 10 to about 3000 ppm. All parts are parts by weight based upon the weight of the core or substrate and skin layers.
The anti-static agent combination and the optional slip improving fatty amide can be introduced into the resin material of the core layer in any convenient way. A master batch formulation can be prepared in which a significantly high ratio of the additives are melt blended into the base resin, the formulation cooled and, thereafter, subdivided into a pellet form. This master batch can be incorporated into the diluting resin for film making and the proportions adjusted so as to accomplish the most effective reduction in noise and film drag when employed in commercial packaging machinery.
Within the scope of the tertiary amine component (a), are those compounds wherein the aliphatic amine is an alkenyl or mixed alkenyl and alkyl (C6 -C24) amine. These amines are liquid at ambient temperatures and are obtained either from materials of synthetic origin or from distilled coco, soya, oleyl or tallow sources, or mixtures thereof. Examples of these amines are diethoxylated tallow (mixed alkenyl and alkyl) amine, and diethoxylated coco amine, which are marketed under the designations Armostat 310 and Armostat 410 respectively, by Armak Company, Chicago, Ill. For this type of amine a chain length of C6 represents the demarkation between an acceptable and unacceptable product. From a functional standpoint, chain lengths of C12 -C18 have been found to provide the most effective anti-static properties with the selected monoester of the present invention. Ethoxylated tertiary alkyl amines including between 2 and 50 (i.e. n=1-25), ethylene oxide units and fatty amines derived from C6 -C24 saturated and unsaturated fatty acids are contemplated.
The monoester component of the anti-static combination is, as stated above, a monoester of an aliphatic C2 -C8 polyhydric alcohol and a C12 -C24 fatty acid. The polyhydric alcohols include the trihydric alcohol, glycerol, pentaerythritol and di and tri-pentaerythritol, trimethylolethane, trimethylopropane, butane triol, hexane triol, sorbitol, etc. As the fatty acids, the saturated or unsaturated acids of the C12 -C24 series are contemplated.
As indicated above, the slip agent or film drag reducing agent is a C12 -C24 fatty amide. Any single species or mixed species can be employed to achieve the effect obtained when employed in combination with the dual antistatic agents. A preferred fatty amide is stearamide. Other contemplated species include erucamide, oleamide, etc.
The finely divided inorganic material contemplated for inclusion in the surface or skin layer of the film structure is any material which not only can impart anti-block characteristics to the structure, but also can reduce the coefficient of friction of the subject polymer films in general without imparting objectionable haze to the structure. Contemplated finely divided inorganic materials include, Syloid, a synthetic amorphorous silica gel having the significant composition of 99.7% SiO2 ; Super Floss, a diatomaceous earth of the composition SiO2 92%, Al2 O3 3.3%, Fe2 O3 1.2% having an average particle size of about 5.5 microns; anhydrous aluminum silicate sold as Kaopolite 1152 having the composition SiO2 55%, Al2 O3 44%, Fe2 O3 0.4% having an average particle size of about 0.8 microns; and synthetic precipitated silicates, such as Sipernat 44, having a composition of SiO2 42%, Al2 O3 36%, Na2 O 22% having a 3.5 micron mean particle size. The finely divided inorganic materials can be present in the skin layer or layers in a proportion sufficient to inhibit film-to-film blocking. Generally this amount will range from about 0.1 to 2.0% by weight.
The skin layer or layers can range in thickness from the thinness continuous layer or layers possible to about 10% each of the overall thickness of the finished film composite.
The skin resins for the structures contemplated herein are formed by employing a commercially available intensive mixer, e.g. of the Bolling or Banbury-type. Mixers of this type are to be employed in mixing a concentrate of the finely divided inorganic material and the selected polymer until there is a uniform dispersion of the inorganic material in the polymer.
In the following Examples the coefficient of friction values are determined according to the procedure of ASTM D1894-78. Static half-life decay values are determined according to ASTM F365-76. This test can be conducted with commercially available standard equipment. A supplier of this equipment is ElectroTack Systems, Inc. of Glenside, PA. The blocking values referred to herein were measured after film conditioning for 72 hours at 125� F. under 100 psi pressure.
In the employment of a fatty amide slip agent in a packaging film such as oriented polypropylene, the film-to-film COF value normally is a good indicator of the acceptability of the film from a "machineability" standpoint in commercial form, fill and seal machines. For example, a COF level of greater than 0.4 normally would be a valid indication that the film would not be acceptable. With such a high COF level, the film would in all probability have excessive drag, high squeal and ultimately cause jamming of the machinery. However, with films of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,533,509 (the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety), but modified so as to include a fatty acid amide slip agent therein, its film-to-film COF is not a reliable indicator of the acceptability of such a film from a "machineability" standpoint. In spite of a COF reading of less than 0.4, such a film would possess excessive drag and squeal in such commercial machinery. A possible explanation of this is given hereinafter.
When film passes through the forming collar region of a commercial form, fill and seal machine, for example, a Mira-Pak Miramatic Model L (Houston, TX), a "force over forming collar" (FOFC) value can be obtained. This value is obtained by measuring the drag force in pounds revealed by manually pulling the film through the forming collar region. The force in pounds can be obtained by employing a simple spring resistance scale having a hook at one end. The film is gathered or affixed to the hook and the film pulled through the forming collar region while reading the drag force in pounds. Depending upon film gauge, a high or low reading will indicate poor or good "machineability" respectively. Employing a 0.75 mil thick film, the drag force of a 6 inch diameter roll of film would barely register on the scale indicating that very little force is necessary to merely unroll the film from the roll. However, when pulled through the forming collar of the apparatus, because of the machine surface-to-film contact and the changing attitute of the film, the drag force will easily show a figure greater than 8 pounds. As this drag force increases because of adverse changes in the composition of the film, a point will be reached where the film will squeal and subsequently break during passage through the packaging machine. At a level above about 14 pounds, an unsupported 0.75 mil film is sure to cause machine down time because of excessive noise or jamming. For a supported film of a thickness of from 2.5-3.0 mils this level is about 30 pounds.
A skin resin containing 99.45% by weight of a 4.5 melt flow index polypropylene homopolymer, identified as 040R from U.S.S. Chemical Company and 0.25% by weight of a precipited sodium-aluminum-silica of the following analysis, SiO2 42%, Al2 O3 36%, Na2 O 22%, having a 3.5 micron mean particle size, and 0.3% by weight of Kaopolite 1152, and anhydrous aluminum silicate of the following analysis SiO2 55%, Al2 O3 44%, Fe2 O3 0.4% having a 0.8 micron mean particle size were intimately melt-mixed in a Banbury mixer until the inorganic components were uniformly dispersed in the molten polypropylene. The melt was fed into a pelletizing extruder and formed into solid pellet resin.
A three layer film structure was formed by feeding the above-described composition into a satellite extruder that feeds the two outer layers of a three-layer slot die. Polypropylene core layer resin was fed into the main extruder that feeds the center (core) layer of the same die and a three layer molten sheet was cast from the die onto a cooling drum and quenched to a temperature between about 30�-50� C. The sheet measured about 35 mils thick and was composed of top and bottom layers which were approximately 5% each of the overall structure thickness. The sheet was thereafter reheated to a temperature between about 130�-170� C. and stretched 500-600% in the machine direction, then 800-900% in a transverse direction on a commercially available tenter orienting apparatus. The finished film was about 0.75 mils thick. This structure was corona discharge treated on both sides thereof to improve the wettability and adhesion of ink and adhesives. The structure was then reversed printed using a commercially available water base ink. Subsequently part of the film structure was laminated by means of a low density polyethylene adhesive to a 1.6 mil thick glassine paper.
The film structures had the following properties:
A. Unsupported/Unprinted Film:
COF: approximately 0.35-0.40
Static half-life decay: greater than 3 minutes
Blocking: 7 g/inch
Wettability: excellent
COF: after short dwell conditioning at 210� F.=approximately 0.35.
B. Printed/Unsupported Film
COF: approximately 0.35
C. Water-based Ink Printed and Glassine Laminated Film
COF: greater than 0.50
The unlaminated and laminated structures were then tested on a Mira-Pak Miramatic Model L vertical form, fill and seal packaging machine and the results are given in the Table below.
A film structure was prepared as in Example 1 except that the base or core layer contained 1500 ppm of stearamide, available as Kenamide S from Humko Chemical Division, Memphis, TN. After film orientation, it was corona discharge treated on both sides, printed and some of the film laminated to glassine paper as in Example 1. The structures have the following properties:
A. Unsupported/Unprinted Film
COF: approximately 0.28
Static half-life decay: greater than 3 minutes
Blocking: 7 g/inch
Wettability: excellent
COF: after short dwell conditioning at 210� F: approximately 0.28
B. Printed/Unsupported Film
COF: approximately 0.28
C. Printed and Glassine Laminated Film
COF greater than 0.50
The process of Example 2 was repeated except that the base layer contained, in addition, to the fatty amide, 1,000 ppm of N,N' -bis(2 hydroxyethyl) stearylamine, available as Hexcel 273E from Hexcel Chemical Products, Zeeland, MI and 2500 ppm of glycerol monostearate available as Atmul 84 S from Kraft, Inc., Memphis, TN. The film combination was oriented, both sides corona discharge treated, printed and part of the film structure was laminated as in the preceding examples.
A. Unsupported/Unprinted Film
COF approximately: 0.23
Static half life decay: better than 20 seconds.
Blocking: 0.4 g/inch
Wettability: excellent
COF film-to-film after short dwell conditioning at 210� F: approximately 0.25.
B. Printed/Unsupported Film
COF approximately 0.25
C. Printed and glassine laminated film
COF lower than 0.35
The following Table shows the improvement in the "force-over-forming-collar" value of the several examples in comparison with the coefficient of friction value for both the unsupported and the supported films.
The process of Example 1 was repeated except that the base layer contained 2400 ppm of N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyethyl) stearylamine and 2500 ppm glycerol monostearate. The film combination was oriented, both sides corona discharge treated, printed and part of the film structure was laminated as in the proceeding examples.
A. Unsupported/Unprinted Film
COF approximately: 0.22
Static half life decay: better than 20 seconds.
Blocking: 0.4 g/inch
Wettability: excellent
COF film-to-film after short dwell conditioning at 210� F: approximately 0.25.
B. Printed/Unsupported Film
COF approximately 0.25
C. Printed and glassine laminated film
COF lower than 0.3
The following Table shows the improvement in "force-over-forming-collar" value of the several examples in comparison with the coefficient of friction value for both the unsupported and the supported films.
TABLE______________________________________ Unsupported Film Supported Film COF FOFC COF FOFC______________________________________Example 1 0.35-0.40 25 lbs. >0.55 >50 lbs.Example 2 0.28 14 lbs. >0.55 37 lbs.Example 3 0.23 11 lbs. <0.35 25 lbs.Example 4 0.22 10 lbs. <0.3 24 lbs.______________________________________
The data of the above Table shows that the unsupported film of Example 1 has a COF value of 0.35 to about 0.40 and as indicated above, normally such a coefficient of friction value would indicate that this film would be able to be satisfactorily handled by a commercial form, fill and seal machine without excessive noise, i.e. high squeal or without jamming due to excessive drag or film breakage. As shown, however, the FOFC value is 25 lbs. and this is considerably above the borderline figure of about 14 lbs. which indicates that a film cannot be reliably employed in such machinery. In otherwords, the film of Example 1 has poor "machineability". Example 2 also shows that in spite of an acceptable COF of 0.28 the machineability of the film as shown by the FOFC value is 14 lbs. This film in all likelihood would cause unacceptable downtime. Examples 3 and 4 show a film having a comparatively low COF value, i.e. 0.23 and 0.22. This film also had a FOFC value of 11 lbs. This figure indicates that there will be high reliability when employing such a film in the type of machinery described. When employing the supported film in the same material, the borderline for FOFC is higher because the strength of the lamination is greater. This is because the glassine film is approximately 1.6-1.8 mils thick and it is laminated to the base film by a 0.5 mil linear low density polyethylene (LDPE) adhesive. Thus, the total composite film thickness begins to approach 2.5-3 mils. With such a thickness, experience has shown that an FOFC value of greater than 30 will clearly risk machine downtime because of machine jamming and high squeal. Examples 3 and 4 show a comparatively low coefficient of friction of less than 0.35 and a FOFC figure of 25 lbs. Thus, the laminated films of Examples 3 and 4 can be employed in the apparatus described with high reliability.
It is to be understood that as different vertical form, fill and seal machinery is employed the base line value for FOFC can change. In some cases, it will be higher than that stated herein for the particular machinery employed and in other cases it may be lower. In any event the general relationship will hold true.
Thus, by the present invention, it has been shown that by the employment of a dual anti-static agent of the type defined in combination with a fatty amide of the type described, both unsupported films and supported films can be employed with high reliability in the type of apparatus described.

Electronic audio device Playaway proves popular at Oklahoma City libraries
Terry said Playaways have gained popularity among library users and employees alike. Other public libraries throughout the state also are beginning to carry them, she said.
"I remember walking into the storage room and seeing one of our employees organizing new books while listening to her Playaway," Terry said.
Chelsi House who works at the downtown branch circulation desk said she prefers using a Playaway because it allows her to listen to her favorite stories at times that are most convenient to her.
"I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality," House said. "It's clear and easy to follow. I listen when I'm on the treadmill."
Playaway's social media manager, Jamie Belardo, said the device is different from an iPod because the Playaway comes pre-loaded and does not require the user to download any information.
"Unlike an mp3 player or an iPod, this comes pre-loaded and is fully accessible to the user," Belardo said.
They are not designed to be reprogrammed.

Organic Chemistry The Study of the Compounds of Carbon Carbon's Place on the Periodic Table Unique Properties of Carbon • Carbon has a modest electronegativity and forms primarily covalent bonds • Carbon is capable of catenation (bonding to itself) • Carbon has four valence electrons and octet requirements require it to bond four times • Depending on bonding (presence of single, double, or triple bonds) carbon compounds can exhibit tetrahedral, trigonal planar or linear geometries • Though carbon and hydrogen form the backbone structure, carbon can also bond to other elements, like O and N, which are called heteroatoms Bond Polarities • Electronegativity values for some elements found in organic compounds are as follows: C = 2.5 H = 2.1 O = 3.5 N = 3.0 F = 4.0 Cl = 3.0 • Obviously C - C bonds are nonpolar • C - H bonds are essentially nonpolar • Electronegativity differences between carbon and O, N, Cl and F suggest that when carbons bonds with one of those elements the bonds will be polar Carbon Skeletons Since carbon bonds four times, it can assume a very complex set of bonding arrangements. Single bonded carbons can rotate relative to one another, so arrangements can be represented in different ways, as shown below: Consider the Diversity of Carbon Compounds Single Double Bonds Rings Bonds C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C Hydrogen "Skins" H H H C C C C C C C C H C H H A C atom single-bonded A C atom single-bonded A C atom single-bonded to one other atom gets to two other atoms gets to three other atoms gets three H atoms. two H atoms. one H atom.

Cl Chlorocyclohexane When two or more substituents are present, the substituent that is first alphabetically is assumed to be on carbon one, and the others are numbered, clockwise or counter-clockwise to give the smallest number arrangement. CH3 1-chloro-3-methylcyclohexane Cl Cl Alkenes Alkenes contain at least one double bond. Their molecular formula is CnH2n The double-bonded carbons have trigonal planar geometries. An expanded structure for ethene, the simplest alkene, is shown below: H H C C 116.6o H H 121.7o Alkenes (II) Note that there is no rotation around a double bond, in contrast to single bonds. This factor leads to the possibility of cis-trans, or geometric, isomerism. When atoms are bonded to double-bonded carbons, they are constrained to remain in the same position. For example, two kinds of 2-butene exist as is shown below: CH3 CH3 CH3 H C C C C H H H CH3 cis-2-butene trans-2-butene CH3 groups are cis, or CH3 groups are trans, or same side of double bond opposite one another Alkene Nomenclature • The double bond plays a prominent role in alkene nomenclature. Despite whatever else is present, the carbon chain is numbered from whichever end is closest to the double bond. • When a double bond is present, the name ending is changed from -ane to -ene. Alkene Nomenclature (II) Example 1: CH3 CH2CH3 C C H H This compound is called 2-pentene, or more correctly, cis-2-pentene, since the continuing carbon chains are situated on the same side of the double bond. Generally, if sufficient structure information is provided, you should assign a cis or trans designation to the name Alkene Nomenclature (III) Other rules we have learned also apply to alkenes, except that the double bond dictates the direction of chain numbering. For example: CH3CH2 H Br C C H CH2CHCH3 trans-6-bromo-3-heptene Note that the double bond determines chain numbering, not the bromo group. Alkene Nomenclature (IV) Provide a complete, correct name for the following: Br CH3 CH2CCH3 C C CH3 H H Alkene Nomenclature (IV) Provide a complete, correct name for the following: Br CH3 CH2CCH3 C C CH3 H H cis-5-bromo-5-methyl-2-hexene Cycloalkenes Cycloalkenes, which have a molecular formula of CnH2n-2, share many characteristics of alkenes, however, in order to form rings, the double bond generally must be in the cis form. When naming a cycloalkene, it is understood that the double- bonded carbons are numbered 1 and 2. Examples: Cyclohexene 3- methylcyclohexene CH CH33 Alkynes • Hydrocarbons containing a triple bond are called alkynes, and have molecular formulas of CnH2n-2. • The triple bonded carbons exhibit linear geometries, with bond angles of 180o. • This geometry prevents them from forming rings. • Nomenclature for alkynes is completely analogous to the method for alkenes. Aromatic Hydrocarbons • Aromatic hydrocarbons are ring structures with multiple double bonds. The double bonds are conjugated, alternating double and single bonds. • Aromatic hydrocarbons have molecular formulas approaching CnHn. • These structures are planar, with all ring carbons exhibiting a trigonal planar geometry, and a high degree of resonance. • A number of aromatics are notorious carcinogens Aromatic Nomenclature OH NH2 NH2 CH CH33 OH OH COOH OH Benzene Aniline Toluene Phenol Benzoic Acid Aromatic Nomenclature (II) Nomenclature for aromatics is performed much like other cyclic compounds. If only one substituent is present, numbering is unnecessary If one of the common names, such as phenol, is used, it is understood that the substituent is on carbon 1. Other substituents present are numbered or given a special designation used in aromatic chemistry. In general, substituents are numbered by counting clockwise or counterclockwise to produce the lowest numbering pattern. Aromatic Nomenclature (II) • Nomenclature for aromatics is performed much like other cyclic compounds. • If only one substituent is present, numbering is unnecessary • If one of the common names, such as phenol, is used, it is understood that the substituent is on carbon 1. Other substituents present are either numbered or given a special designation used in aromatic chemistry. • 1-2 substitution is called ortho • 1-3 substitution is called meta • 1-4 substitution is called para Aromatic Nomenclature (III) Examples: CH CH33 OH OH NH2 CH CH33 Cl Br Cl CH CH33 3-chloroaniline 4-bromotoluene 2,4-dimethylphenol or or meta-chloroaniline para-bromotoluene Hydrocarbon Chemistry • Hydrocarbons are generally derived from natural sources, particularly petroleum. • The most plentiful compounds in petroleum are alkanes. • A number of reactions can be used to convert one type of hydrocarbon into another. • Organic compounds are much more reactive when heteroatoms, N and O, are present. Alkanes • Alkanes are generally considered to be unreactive. • They are commonly combusted as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, etc. • They can also be reacted with the halogens, e.g. Cl2 and Br2, to form halogenated forms. • The halogenated forms can be used to produce other compounds. Alkenes • The double bond in alkenes makes them much more reactive than alkanes. • The pi electrons in the double bond are relatively loosely held, and the double bond is subject to attack by substances attracted to negative charge (electrophiles). • Generally, substances are added to the doubly bonded carbons, and the double bond is lost. • Ethylene and propylene are heavily used to produce polymers polyethylene and polypropylene. Alkynes • Alkynes have two pi bonds, and react much like alkenes, except that stoichiometrically they tend to react twice as much. • The most common alkyne, acetylene, is capable of participating in unusual reactions with strong bases, and it combusts at very high temperature, which makes it ideal for welding torches. Aromatic Compounds • Although aromatic compounds contain double bonds, they do not react like alkenes, because the loss of double bonds would eliminate their stabilizing resonance. • Instead, aromatic compounds tend to undergo substitution reactions, where other substances replace hydrogen atoms on the ring carbons. • A number of aromatic hydrocarbons are produced as pollutants when other hydrocarbons are burned. Functional Groups • When organic compounds contain elements other than carbon, called heteroatoms, such as oxygen and nitrogen, the structural units containing the heteroatoms are called functional groups. • These functional groups add unique chemical characteristics to the compound, which makes them very important in biological applications. Alcohols • When a carbon atom is bonded to an -O-H group, often designated as R-O-H, where R is used as a general designation for a carbon group, the molecule is called an alcohol. • The -OH group is very polar, and most small alcohols have high boiling points and good water solubility. • Besides simple alcohols, alcohols are found biologically in carbohydrates and various metabolites. Alcohol Nomenclature • Alcohols often have common trivial names, but IUPAC nomenclature rules suggest that the alcohol name contain the -ol suffix. • The alcohol group is considered higher priority than any carbon-containing group, and the chain should be numbered from whichever end is closest to the alcohol group. • Other groups are named and numbered as shown previously Alcohol Nomenclature (II) Examples: Ethyl alcohol (trivial name) CH3CH2-OH Ethanol (IUPAC name) Cl OH 4-chloro-2-pentanol CH3CHCH2CHCH3 Br CH3 OH 6-bromo-4-methyl-2-hexanol CH2CH2CHCH2CHCH3 OH 3-methylcyclohexanol CH3 Ethers • Another oxygen-containing functional group is the ether. The ether group, sometimes designated as R1-O-R2, contains an oxygen bridge between two carbon atoms. • Ethers, unlike alcohols, do not participate in hydrogen bonds, and are not considered polar. • Ethers, which are important medical and industrial chemicals, are not commonly found naturally in biological systems. Ether Nomenclature • Although IUPAC recommends a method for naming ethers, we will only focus on a trivial method that is in common use. • With this method, the two carbon- containing groups connected by the oxygen are listed alphabetically, followed by the name "ether". Ether Nomenclature (II) Examples: CH3-O-CH2CH3 Ethyl methyl ether O CH3 Cyclohexyl methyl ether CH3CH2-O-CH2CH3 Diethyl ether Diethyl ether was used for years as an anesthetic until it was replaced due to safety considerations. Carbonyl Groups • The carbonyl group contains a carbon- oxygen double bond. This functional group can be found in the interior of a carbon chain, where it is called a ketone, or on a terminal carbon, where it called an aldehyde. • A commonly used representations of ketones and aldehydes look as follows: O O || || R1-C-R2 R-C-H or RCHO Ketone Aldehyde Carbonyl Groups (II) • Carbonyl groups, particularly aldehydes, are very reactive, and appear in many biological compounds. • Like alcohols, carbonyl groups are found in carbohydrates, and they are observed during many metabolic processes • These compounds are moderately polar, and the smaller ketones and aldehydes are water soluble. • A number of ketones have common names, such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and are widely used industrial solvents. Ketone Nomenclature • When a ketone is present in a compound, it is considered higher priority than anything discussed thus far, and the chain is numbered from whichever end is closest to the ketone. If an alcohol is also present, it is given a number and is called a hydroxy group. • When a ketone is present, the suffix for the name is changed to -one. Ketone Nomenclature (II) Examples: O Acetone (trivial name) || CH3CCH3 2-propanone (IUPAC name) O Methyl ethyl ketone (trivial name) || CH3CCH2CH3 2-butanone (IUPAC name) O OH || | CH3CHCCH2CHCH3 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-hexanone | CH3 Aldehyde Nomenclature • When an aldehyde is present in a compound, it is considered higher priority than anything discussed thus far, and the chain is numbered from aldehyde end. The aldhyde group is understood to be on the terminal carbon, so it needs no number. If ketones are also present, they are called "oxo" groups and are given a number. • When an aldehyde is present, the suffix of the name is changed to -al. • Remember, aldehydes can be represented as: O || R-C-H or RCHO Aldehyde Nomenclature (II) Examples: O Formaldehyde (trivial name) || CH3C-H Methanal (IUPAC name) O || CH3CCH2CHO 3-oxobutanal O OH || | CH3CHCCH2CHCHO 5-chloro-2-hydroxy-4-oxohexanal | Cl Carboxylic Acids • Carboxylic acids have the generalized formula: O || R-C-OH or RCOOH • The "carboxyl" name is a contraction of carbonyl and hydroxyl group names, which are both present. • The hydrogen on the hydroxyl group is acidic, and carboxylic acids are notable for their acidic behavior. • Carboxylic acids are found in many biological compounds, most notably amino acids. Carboxylic Acid Nomenclature • The carboxylic acid structure requires that this functional group be on a terminal carbon. • The carboxyl group has higher priority than any other functional group, and if it is present, it is understood to be on carbon number 1, and the chain is numbered away from it. • Other groups present are numbered appropriately, and the name's suffix is changed to -oic, followed by the word "acid". • There are many trivial names, such as acetic acid that are commonly used. Carboxylic Acid Nomenclature (II) Examples: O Acetic acid (trivial name) || CH3C-OH Ethanoic acid (IUPAC name) OH Gamma-hydroxybutyric acid or GHB | (trivial name) CH2CH2CH2COOH 4-hydroxybutanoic acid Cl CH3 | | CH3CHCCH2CHCOOH 4,5-dichloro-2-methylhexanoic acid | Cl Amines • Amines act as bases in organic chemistry. • They contain the amino functional group: R-NH2 • These compounds are notable for their basic nature and strong odors. • Nitrogen-containing compounds, or amines, are found in a variety of biological compounds including amino acids and nucleic acids. Amine Nomenclature • Amines are commonly named by referring to the alkyl group attached to them, followed by the word "amine". • In IUPAC, or systematic, nomenclature, the amine is numbered from which ever end of the chain is closest. • The final "e" of the name is replaced by the suffix -amine. • If a higher priority group is present, the amine is called an "amino" group and given a number. All of the oxygen- containing functional groups are considered higher priority. • Finally, though we won't cover them, amines exist where more than one carbon group is attached to the nitrogen atom. Amine Nomenclature (II) Examples: NH2 Isopropyl amine (trivial name) | CH3CHCH3 2-propanamine (IUPAC name) NH2 | CH3CHCH2CH2-OH 3-amino-1-butanol NH2 Alanine (amino acid) | CH3CHCOOH 2-aminopropanoic acid

North Carolina State went from rebuilding to Atlantic Coast Conference favorite so fast that coach Mark Gottfried is already having to manage expectations in his second year. It could be the biggest challenge for the sixth-ranked Wolfpack in a potential-filled year. ''That's the one thing I tell our guys that we can control: we can control how driven we are every day,'' Gottfried said. ''It's easy to talk about it, it's a little bit harder to do it at practice. I can't control a lot of things nor can our guys, but we do have the ability to control that, so that's what we're trying to do each day.'' It's been a stunningly fast rise for N.C. State, which hadn't been to the NCAA tournament since 2006 before Gottfried's arrival last season. The Wolfpack (24-13) had a late-season surge and took eventual finalist Kansas to the final seconds in loss in the NCAA round of 16, ending the program's winningest season in 24 years. Now Gottfried has four returning starters to go with a recrui...

Fans labeled Marco Scutaro a super-sub in Oakland for all his fill-in roles. Others called him a Colorado castoff in July, and his new San Francisco Giants teammates nicknamed him ''Blockbuster'' for the often overlooked trade-deadline move. Now he has a new title: NLCS MVP. Scutaro tied the league championship series record with 14 hits to earn the honors, capping off his remarkable run with three singles and a walk in San Francisco's 9-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night in the decisive Game 7. After several stops and bumps along the way, the 36-year-old has finally found a place where fans will know his name for years to come. ''As soon as you get traded, you kind of start thinking where you're going to live, your family, you have to pack,'' Scutaro said. ''I kind of thought I had a really good opportunity to make the playoffs with this team. We just started playing good, and here we are in the World Series.'' In a fitting ending to a series that saw Scuta...

Fantasy Football Breaking News
Danny Woodhead - RB - San Diego Chargers
San Diego Chargers RB Danny Woodhead (ankle) missed 13 games last season due to a broken ankle, but he appeared fast and healthy in offseason work.
Huddle Up: A healthy Woodhead would allow the Chargers to bring rookie Melvin Gordon along slowly in the passing game--and bring a little PPR fantasy value to the table himself.
Mike Glennon - QB - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans is expected to play more on an island in 2015 as the 'X' receiver in Tampa Bay's new offense, which is the same role offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter created for Atlanta Falcons WR Julio Jones during Koetter's time with that organization. He said Monday, June 29, that the QB carousell of Josh McCown and Mike Glennon last year held him back, too, so he is excited about a potential breakout with QB Jameis Winston.
Huddle Up: An upgrade at quarterback, a new and potentially lucrative role... on the heels of a dynamic rookie season Evans could actually wind up being the best sophomore pass-catcher this season.
Peyton Manning - QB - Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning has been forced to deal with a new head coach, a new offensive coordinator, less practice time and more rest during offseason practices, new offensive linemen, a new starting tight end in TE Owen Daniels and not being able to practice with star WR Demaryius Thomas yet.
Huddle Up: Manning will also be helming an offense that's expected to run the ball more frequently than in Peyton's past seasons. Perhaps his days as an elite fantasy quarterback are over--but he's still at minimum a solid fantasy starter.
Sam Bradford - QB - Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles QB Sam Bradford (knee) is expected to be in the final phase of his rehabilitation from a torn anterior cruciate ligament once training camp begins. Bradford's second ACL tear in as many seasons will require more time to recover and the Eagles may not have a grasp on how ready he is to play before the regular season begins.
Huddle Up: Plenty of questions surrounding Bradford: Will he be ready in time? Can he stay healthy? Will limited prep time allow him to grasp Chip Kelly's offense? There's certainly upside to Bradford's fantasy prospects, but there's also a strong possibility Mark Sanchez will be seeing plenty of action early in the season.
Marqise Lee - WR - Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Marqise Lee is slated to start behind WRs Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns, according to Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times Union.
Huddle Up: Sounds like we have the pecking order for Blake Bortles' receiving corps lined up, with Robinson the receiver to have if you're banking on the Jaguars' passing game for fantasy assistance.
Darren McFadden - RB - Dallas Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys RB Darren McFadden said he's excited to be with the Cowboys and feels like he's a rookie again. McFadden also said the injured hamstring that caused him to miss time this offseason is feeling great.
Huddle Up: McFadden is battling Joseph Randle for a share of what DeMarco Murray left behind in Dallas. On the bright side he's healthy... at least for now.
Charles Johnson - WR - Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota Vikings WR Charles X. Johnson appears to have everything it takes to produce in the NFL, according to offensive coordinator Norv Turner. 'He's got great work ethic, and he's a big, strong guy. He's a 218-pound receiver that can run. He's got everything you need to be a productive player in this league,' Turner said. Turner believes Johnson has completely recovered from the knee surgery he had last offseason. Johnson has been working at split end in three-receiver sets during offseason workouts.
Huddle Up: The lead role in a Turner-coached passing game with Teddy Bridgewater at the helm sounds like a promising situation for Johnson. However, keep in mind the Vikings are still a run-first offense so long as Adrian Peterson is on the active roster, so Johnson's upside is somewhat limited.
Stevie Johnson - WR - San Diego Chargers
San Diego Chargers WR Stevie Johnson showed good chemistry with QB Philip Rivers during offseason workouts.
Huddle Up: The Chargers have been desperate for a second receiver to emerge in their offense, and if Johnson is earning the trust of Rivers he could fill that role--and in the process carve out some solid fantasy numbers.
Russell Wilson - QB - Seattle Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson said the goal is to remain in Seattle for 'a really, really long time' when asked about his contract situation at the Russell Wilson Passing Academy Saturday, June 27.
Huddle Up: It's a dance that's not likely to end any time soon, but expect Wilson and the Seahawks to come to terms on a contract that will both make Wilson a very rich man and keep him in Seattle for an extended period of time.
C.J. Spiller - RB - New Orleans Saints
New Orleans Saints RB C.J. Spiller has a perfect skill-set for head coach Sean Payton's system, which relies on getting the ball to players in space, according Chris Wesseling of NFL.com. Wesseling believes Spiller is significantly more talented than RB Reggie Bush and RB Darren Sproles, who both thrived in Payton's system.
Huddle Up: After an injury-addled final season in Buffalo, Spiller has the offense and opportunity to shine in the Big Easy, but he has more to prove as a pass catcher than most might believe, ranking only 25th among RBs with 158 receptions since entering the league in 2010.
Johnny Manziel - QB - Cleveland Browns
Cleveland Browns QB Johnny Manziel just 'needs more time' to develop and learn how to play from the pocket in order to become an effective NFL quarterback, according to Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Paul Guenther.
Huddle Up: With all of two starts and 35 pass attempts so far, the first-round pick definitely would seem to deserve more live-action opportunity to sink or swim, and you have to think he'll get it unless he totally spoils his chance with additional off-the-field antics or proves to be a unredeemable disaster in practice.
Nelson Agholor - WR - Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles WR Nelson Agholor said he worked as an outside receiver during offseason workouts but is learning the other receiver spots as well since the team uses different formations. 'I play right side outside, right now, but I'm continuing to learn conceptually the whole deal, because that is how we work here. It's by formation and different people will be in different formations. And that's how we sugar coat what we do...That's just the game of football nowadays. It's about window dressing some of your staple concepts and that's what we'll do,' Agholor said.
Huddle Up: Agholor was the fourth WR drafted, but he's in the discussion when it comes to projecting the top fantasy rookie wideout this season given the offense and opportunity he fell into in Philly.
Rashad Greene - WR - Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Rashad Greene is expected to work as the team's top slot receiver. He has impressive teammates with suddenness and his football acumen.
Huddle Up: The rookie from Florida State has the early look of a fifth-round find, but when it comes to fantasy, he's likely going to run into a numbers game in J'ville with wideouts Allen Robinson, Allen Robinson and Marqise Lee entering their second seasons and the team landing TE Julius Thomas in free agency. Will there be enough targets to go around, especially considering QB Blake Bortles is still finding his way entering his second season?
Donte Moncrief - WR - Indianapolis Colts
Indianapolis Colts WR Donte Moncrief is a candidate to return kicks this season, according to special teams coach Tom McMahon.
Huddle Up: With the signing of free agents Andre Johnson and Duron Carter and the first-round draft pick used on Phillip Dorsett, the 2014 third-round pick has the appearances of a man caught in the middle. Moncrief did show some definite flashes last season with 32 catches for 444 yards and three TDs, but his upside is basically capped by his environment with all the offensive mouths to feed in Indy. The Colts seem to realize that and are looking at ways (special teams) to get Moncrief some additional touches.
Devin Smith - WR - New York Jets
New York Jets WR Devin Smith struggled to adjust to the multiple spots and routes he had to learn to run during offseason workouts, according to wide receivers coach Karl Dorrell.
Huddle Up: The short-term fantasy outlook for the second-round pick doesn't appear especially rosy with veterans Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker solidly entrenched atop the team's WR depth chart and not to mention the limited ceiling for the Jets' passing game as a whole.
Morris Claiborne - CB - Dallas Cowboys
Free-agent CB Morris Claiborne may still return to the Dallas Cowboys, after the club declined his fifth-year option. 'I think Claiborne has a real good chance to surprise,' owner Jerry Jones said recently, via the team's official website. Claiborne lost 30-40 pounds this offseason, after having surgery done on both of his knees.
Huddle Up: The former sixth-overall pick has been a huge disappointment with only 25 starts and three interceptions in three seasons. Last season, he was limited to four games as he ruptured the patella tendon in his left knee a week after he walked out of practice after being informed he was being benched. The bottom line: Claiborne has this summer to make an impression or his days in Dallas will be done, and he certainly can't be counted on for any IDP production until he reverses his career spiral.
Percy Harvin - WR - Buffalo Bills
Buffalo Bills WR Percy Harvin said he has been working with wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal this offseason in hopes of becoming a more complete wide receiver. 'I feel that it's time for me to put it all together,' Harvin said. 'I feel like I have the coaching staff and support here in Buffalo to get that done. The owners here are unbelievable. Everything here spells success for me. The world has yet to see me explode like I'm about to.'
Huddle Up: Harvin has been the king of short routes and swing passes, and his fantasy production has been bolstered greatly by his standout rushing numbers (140-885-5) over his six-year career. The skill and ability are certainly there, but the key will be branching out on his route tree, and his fantasy numbers will almost assuredly follow.
Russell Wilson - QB - Seattle Seahawks
Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson wants a considerable portion of his next contract to be guaranteed. This is considered the biggest stumbling block in Wilson's extension talks, as the league's funding rule requires all money of any future payments to be paid into escrow upon signing.
Huddle Up: There was talk earlier this offseason that Wilson might wind up with the first fully guaranteed NFL contract. Sounds like maybe that was a figment of his agent's imagination, but the Seahawks may have to guarantee more than they had hoped to keep their franchise quarterback in town.
Dez Bryant - WR - Dallas Cowboys
The agent for Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant met face-to-face with the team for the first time in nearly four months, per sources. Bryant hasn't yet signed his $12.823 million franchise tender, and he has a deadline of July 15 to agree to a long-term deal. After that date Bryant will need to play out the season under the tender and the two sides could discuss an extension after the season.
Huddle Up: Bryant has threatened to skip the first game of the season, and the Cowboys would prefer to lock up Dez long-term anyway so it only makes sense for the two sides to get together to see if they can reach an agreement before things spiral out of control.
Latavius Murray - RB - Oakland Raiders
Oakland Raiders RB Latavius Murray has the opportunity to be the team's No. 1 running back in 2015, and it's one he embraces. 'It's a great feeling, but every day I have to go in there knowing I need to get better every day,' Murray explained. 'I need to play like it's a new year. Last season is just last season and the year before that it was the year before that. Every season is a new year for me and it's a year I have to go out and prove something.'
Huddle Up: A great discussion of the linear progression of time from Murray, who has shown flashes of excellence when he's been able to stay on the field. We'll find out what this new year holds in store for him soon.
