A composition comprising a blend of a polyester resin and a polycarbonate resin are provided with a transesterification reaction hindering amount of a metaphosphate fiber.
1. A thermoplastic composition comprising: (a) a polycarbonate resin; (b) at least one polyester resin; and (c) a transesterification hindering amount of a metaphosphate fiber.
2. The composition of claim 1 wherein said polyester resin is a poly(butyl terephthalate(resin.
3. The composition of claim 2 wherein the polyester resin is poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate).
4. The composition of claim 1 wherein the metaphosphate fibers are selected from the group of calcium metaphosphate fiber, sodium metaphosphate fiber, and calcium sodium metaphosphate fiber.
5. The composition of claim 4 wherein the metaphosphate fibers are calcium sodium metaphosphate fibers.
6. The composition of claim 5 wherein the polycarbonate resin is derived from a diphenol and phosgene or a phosgene precursor.
7. The composition of claim 6 wherein the polycarbonate resin is poly(bisphenol A)carbonate.
8. The composition of claim 1 wherein the said polyester resin comprises an admixture of poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate) and poly(ethylene terephthalate).
9. The composition of claim 1 which contains from about 0.01 parts to about 10 parts by weight of the metaphosphate fibers for every 100 parts by weight of the blended resin composition.
10. The composition of claim 9 which contains from about 0.1 to about 5 parts by weight of the metaphosphate fibers for every 100 parts by weight of the blended resin composition.
This invention relates generally to polycarbonate-polyester resin compositions, alone, or in further combination with other resins, and more particularly to methods for stabilizing blends of high molecular weight linear thermoplastic polycarbonates and polyesters against undesirable transesterification reactions.
High molecular weight linear polyesters and copolyesters are well known and have enjoyed continued and increasing commercial success. These are especially useful resins because they provide compositions with excellent moldability, and molded articles therefrom having smooth and glossy surface appearance, high strength, stiffness temperature resistance and other desirable properties.
Additionally, these resins may be modified to improve certain physical properties and further broaden their scope of application by incorporating therein various additives including fillers and reinforcing agents to enhance toughness and vary the stiffness of the material.
Blends of such polyester resins with one or more second resins have become of significant commercial interest because such second resins, carefully selected, can greatly improve impact strength, as well as tensile strength, modulus and distortion temperature under load in parts molded from such compositions. By way of illustration, such second resins can compromise minor proportions of aromatic polycarbonate resins, as described for example, in Kawase et al, U.S. Pat. No. 3,953,539.
There is a tendency, in such polyester-polycarbonate blends, for there to be an undesirable transesterification reaction between the polyester resin and the polycarbonate resin. This chemical reaction is manifested by there being a yellowing of the resulting blended resin.
Therefore, there is a need in the art for a method of preventing or substantially hindering the transesterification reaction between polycarbonates and polyesters in mixed blends of said resins.
It has now been discovered that certain phosphate fibers, specifically metaphosphate fibers, have demonstrated the ability to inhibit the transesterification reaction between polyester resins and polycarbonate resins.
According to the present invention, there are provided thermoplastic compositions comprising a polycarbonate and at least one polyester resin in further combination with transesterification inhibiting amounts of a metaphosphate fiber.
The polyester resins utilized in this invention include, in general, linear saturated condensation products of diols and dicarboxylic acids, or reactive derivatives thereof. Preferably, they will comprise condensation products of aromatic dicarboxylic acids and aliphatic diols. It is to be understood that it is also possible to use polyesters such as poly(1,4-dimethylol cyclohexane dicarboxylates, e.g., terephthalates). In addition to phthalates, small amounts of other aromatic dicarboxylic acids, such as naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, or aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, such as adipic acid, can also be present in preferred compositions. The diol constituent can likewise be varied, in the preferred embodiments, by adding small amounts of cycloaliphatic diols. In any event, the preferred polyesters are well known as film and fiber formers, and they are provided by methods outlines in Whinfield, U.S. Pat. No. 2,465,319 and Pengilly, U.S. Pat. No. 3,047,539 and elsewhere. The preferred polyesters will comprise a poly(alkylene terephthalate, isophthalate or mixed isophthalate-terephthalate, e.g., up to 30 mole percent isophthalate), said alkylene groups containing from 2 to 10 carbon atoms, e.g., poly(ethylene terephthalate) or poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate). Because of its rapid crystallization from the melt, it is preferred to use poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate) as the normally flammable polyester resin component of the present compositions.
While poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate)homopolyester is the preferred poly(butylene terephthalate) polymer, copolyesters thereof are also suitable. Such copolyesters generally comprise at least about 70 mole percent, and preferably at least 80 mole percent, based on total monomer content, of butylene and terephthalate units. The comonomer may be either a dicarboxylic acid or diol or a combination of the two. Suitable dicarboxylic acid comonomers include the C8 to C16 aromatic dicarboxylic acids, especially the benzene dicarboxylic acids, i.e. phthalic and isophthalic acids and their alkyl, e.g. methyl, derivatives and C4 to C16 aliphatic and cycloaliphatic dicarboxylic acids including, for example, sebacic acid; glutaric acid; azelaeic acid; tetramethyl succinic acid; 1,2-, 1,3- and 1,4-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acids and the life, as mentioned above. Suitable diol comonomers include but are not limited to C2 to C8 aliphatic and cycloaliphatic diols, e.g. ethylene glycol, hexanediol, butanediol and 1,2-, 1,3- and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. Other suitable diols are well known to those skilled in the art.
Polycarbonates suitable for use in the present invention are any of those known in the art. Especially preferred polycarbonates are high molecular weight, thermoplastic, aromatic polymers and include homopolycarbonates, copolycarbonates and copolyestercarbonates and mixtures thereof which have average molecular weights of about 8,000 to more than 200,000, preferably of about 20,000 to 80,000 and an I.V. of 0.30 to 1.0 dl/g as measured in methylene chloride at 25 C. In one embodiment, the polycarbonate are derived from dihydric phenols and carbonate precursors and generally contain recurring structural units of the formula; ##STR1## where Y is a divalent aromatic radical remaining after removal of the hydroxy groups from the dihydric phenol employed in the polycarbonate producing reaction, and n is greater than 1, and is preferably from about 10 to about 400.
Preferred polycarbonate resins are of the formula: ##STR2## wherein R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen, (lower) alkyl or phenyl and m is at least 30 and preferably between 40 and 300. The term (lower) alkyl includes hydrocarbon groups of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
Suitable dihydric phenols for producing polycarbonates include, for example,
2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) methane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl)propane, 4,4-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) heptane, 2,2-(3,5,3',5'-tetrachloro-4,4'-dihydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,2-(3,5,3'5'-tetrabromo-4,4'-dihydroxyphenol)propane, and 3,3'- dichloro-4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl)methane.
Other dihydric phenols which are also suitable for use in the preparation of the above polycarbonates are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,999,835; 3,038,365; 3,334,154; and 4,131,575, incorporated herein by reference.
It is, of course, possible to employ two or more different dihydric phenols or a copolymer of a dihydric phenol with a glycol or with a hydroxy or acid terminated polyester, or with a diabasic acid in the event a carbonate copolymer or interpolymer rather than a homopolymer is desired for use in the preparation of the blends of the invention. Blends of any of the above materials can also be employed to provide the aromatic polycarbonate. In addition, branched polycarbonates such as are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,001,184, can also be utilized in the practice of this invention, as can blends of a linear polycarbonate and branched polycarbonate.
The carbonate precursor employed can be either a carbonyl halide, a carbonate ester or a haloformate. The carbonyl halides which can be employed are carbonyl bromide, carbonyl chloride and mixtures thereof. Typical of the carbonate esters which can be employed are diphenyl carbonate; a di(halophenyl)carbonate such as di(trichlorophenyl) carbonate, di(tribromophenyl)carbonate, etc.; di(alkylphenyl) carbonate such as di(tolyl)carbonate, etc.; di(naphthyl)carbonate; di(chloronaphthyl)carbonate; etc., or mixtures thereof. The suitable haloformated include bis-haloformates of dihydric phenols (bischloroformates of hydroquinone, etc. or glycols (bishaloformates of ethYlene glycol, neopentyl glycol, polyethylene glycol, etc.). While other carbonate precursors will occur to those skilled in the art, carbonyl chloride, also known as phosgene, is preferred.
The polycarbonate may also be a copolyestercarbonate as described by Clayton B. Quinn in U.S. Pat. 4,430,484 and Kenneth Miller in U.S. Pat. No. 4,465,820, and the references cited therein, incorporated herein by reference. Preferred polyestercarbonates are those derived from the dihydric phenols and carbonate precursors described above and aromatic dicarboxylic acids or their reactive derivatives, such as the acid dihalides, e.g. dichlorides. A quite useful class of polyestercarbonates are the aromatic polyester carbonates derived from bisphenol A; terephthalic acid or isophthalic acid or a mixture thereof or their respective acid chlorides; and phosgene. If a mixture of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid is employed, the weight ratio of terephthalic acid to isophthalic acid may be from about 2:8 to about 8:2.
The polycarbonates of the subject blends can be manufactured by known processes, such as, for example, by reacting a dihydric phenol with a carbonate precursor such as diphenyl carbonate or phosgene in accordance with methods set forth in the above-cited literature and U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,018,750 and 4,123,436, or by transesterification processes such as are disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 3,153,008, as well as other processes known to those skilled in the art. The aromatic polycarbonates are typically prepared by employing a molecular weight regulator, an acid acceptor and a catalyst. The molecular weight regulators which can be employed include phenol, cyclohexanol, methanol, alkylated phenols, such as octylphenol, paratertiary-butyl-phenol, etc. Preferably, phenol or an alkylated phenol is employed as the molecular weight regulator.
The acid acceptor can be either an organic or an inorganic acid acceptor. A suitable organic acid acceptor is a tertiary amine and includes such materials as pyridine, triethylamine, dimethylaniline, tributylamine, etc. The inorganic acid acceptor can be one which can be either a hydroxide, a carbonate, a bicarbonate, or a phosphate of an alkali or alkaline earth metal.
The catalyst which can be employed are those that typically aid the polymerization of the monomer with phosgene. Suitable catalysts include tertiary amines such as triethylamine, tripropylamine, N,N-dimethylaniline, quanternary ammonium compounds such as, for example, tetraethylammonium bromide, cetyl triethyl ammonium bromide, tetra-n-heptylammonium iodide, tetra-n-propyl ammonium bromide, tetramethyl-ammonium chloride, tetra-methyl ammonium hydroxide, tetra-n-butyl ammonium iodide, benzyltrimethyl ammonium chloride and quaternary phosphonium compounds such as, for example, n-butyltriphenyl phosphonium bromide and methyltriphenyl phosphonium bromide.
Also included are branched polycarbonates wherein a polyfunctional aromatic compound is reacted with the monomer and carbonate precursor to provide a thermoplastic randomly branched polycarbonate. The polyfunctional aromatic compounds contain at least three functional groups which are carboxyl, carboxylic anhydride, haloformyl, or mixtures thereof. Illustrative polyfunctional aromatic compounds which can be employed include trimellitic anhydride, trimellitic acid, trimellityl trichloride, 4-chloroformyl phthalic anhydride, promellitric acid, pyromellitic dianhydride, mellitic acid, mellitic anhydride, trimesic acid, benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid, benxophenonetetracarboxylic anhydride, and the like. The preferred polyfunctional aromatic compounds are trimellitic anhydride and trimellitic acid or their acid halide derivatives.
The metaphosphate fibers that are utilized in this invention are preferably calcium and/or sodium metaphosphate fibers. The preferred metaphosphate fibers are calcium sodium metaphosphate fibers, which are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,346,028, which is incorporated herein by reference.
It has been discovered that any amount of the metaphosphate fibers will serve to hinder, to some extent, the transesterification reaction between the polycarbonates and polyester resins. Therefore, the precise amount used will be determined by the practitioner of the invention based on the specific resins used and the desired properties of the end composition.
Preferably, however, from about 0.01 parts to about 10 parts by weight of the metaphosphate fibers should be used, and most preferably, from about 0.1 parts to about 5 parts by weight should be used, based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of polyester and polycarbonate resins in the composition. Although amounts slightly in excess of 10 parts by weight will not have any deleterious effects on the properties of the compositions, such percentages of the metaphosphate fibers will not further significantly decrease the transesterification reaction over the decrease that is shown when 10 weight percent of the metaphosphate fibers are employed.
The ratio of the polyester resins and polycarbonate resins is not important to the present invention, and may be determined by the individual practitioner of this invention.
The metaphosphate fibers of the invention may be mixed with the polymers described by any suitable means which are well known to those skilled in the art.
Those embodiments of the invention which are melt-stabilized flame retardant thermoplastic polycarbonate-polyester resin compositions are made by including the monosodium and/or monopotassium phosphate in compositions rendered flame retardant with an effective amount of one or more flame retardant additives in conventional ways. Such additives are, for example, bromine- or chlorine- containing compounds, e.g., decabromodiphenyl ether, a polycarbonate of tetrabromobisphenol A and biphenol A, and the like, alone, or preferably, combined with a synergist, such as antimony trioxide.
It is also within the scope of the invention to incorporate ingredients such as reinforcing fibers, plasticizers, dyes, pigments, various other heat and light stabilizers, mold release agents and stabilizers, anti-oxidants, anti-static agents, photochromic materials and the like, into the polyester-polycarbonate blended resin.
The following examples illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the claims in any manner whatsoever. All parts are by weight unless otherwise specified.
Unless otherwise stated, all compositions were prepared by dry blending the ingredients by extrusion through a single screw extruder between 500°-560° F. The test specimens were molded into 2"×3"×1-1/8" chips using a 500° F. barrel temperature and 120 second cycle times.
The compositions of the Examples 1 and 6 set forth below are not within the scope of the invention, but show typical polyester-polycarbonate blended compositions without the incorporation therein of the metaphosphate fibers.
The test used to determine the degree of transesterification was the Yellowness Index, which was measured in a spectrometer according to the provisions of ASTM test methods No. D-1925.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is Official
After numerous leaks, Activision and Infinity Ward are ready to start pulling back the veil on Call of Duty: Ghosts, which will be a new storyline separate from the Modern Warfare or Black Ops series. It'll be available on PS3/PC/360 as we can see on the preorder page. (No mention of Wii U.) It'll also come to both next-gen platofrms, but with these cross-generational games, at this point I expect the next-gen versions to only include whatever enhanced visuals the PC port also has. Update: The release date is set for November 5th, but that doesn't necessarily mean both next-gen consoles will be out by then, so those versions might come out a few weeks later.
There aren't any comments yet. You could post one, but first you'll have to login.

Owen Hargreaves believes the "special camaraderie" in the Manchester United dressing room will see the Champions League trophy return to Old Trafford after a nine-year absence.
The Canadian-born England midfielder wants to cap a remarkable first season at Old Trafford by helping United lift the European Cup by defeating Premier League rivals Chelsea in Wednesday's final in Moscow.
Hargreaves has already won a title medal in his debut season in England after joining from Bayern Munich. Yet the 27-year-old is confident of adding a second UEFA Champions League winners medal to the one he won with the Bundesliga giants in 2001.
He said the spirit in the United camp is unique to anything he has experienced before and believes that key ingedient could make all the difference in the Russian capital.
"I have never been in a team with such a great group of players - not only talent-wise but personality-wise," said Hargreaves.
" . You look at the players who are not even in the squad, the camaraderie is really special.
"That's why we are in the position we are in, because of this chemistry. The squad is in the position to achieve things again and again. That's the goal."
Fresh challenge
Hargreaves has settled quickly at Old Trafford since joining United before the start of the season as he sought a fresh challenge after winning a string of titles and cups in Germany.
He scored the winner against Arsenal last month, regarded as one of the most crucial goals of United's Premier League season, and has proved to be a reliable figure in the midfield.
Having been a member of the Bayern side which defeated Valencia on penalties in the final seven years ago, Hargreaves is relishing the chance to join a select band of players to win the UEFA Champions League with two different clubs.
"At Bayern I did everything I could possibly do there," he added. "I won the Bundesliga four times, the cup three times and the Champions League in 2001.
"That's why I came to here to Manchester United - I wanted a fresh challenge. I'm feeling very good. This is a big game coming up but they are all big games when you play for Manchester United.
"We've worked extremely hard to put ourselves in this position. We've won the Premier League which is what we set out to do. .
"It's easy for clubs to say at the start of the season 'we want to win this and we want to win that'. But it's another thing actually doing it. We want to cap it all off by putting in a good performance against Chelsea.
"It's one game. No home leg or away leg. What sort of game do I think it will be? After a cautious start I think both teams will probably go for it. We don't want to go all out attack in the first 10 minutes and find ourselves 2-0 down.
"So much time and energy goes into these games and no one wants to throw it all away. This is the last 90 minutes of the season. It is a great boost having won the league and that will hopefully work in our favour."

A question.
Using the current versions of liberator and cheshire the first example in the liberator chapter would not compile saying that resource does not exist. When I backed them both back to the versions you used (0.9.0 and 5.2.0 respectively) the snippet compiled. Did one of these libraries change to no longer include the request?
If not what else could be the problem.
Thank you

I'm still not entirely sure what caused the problem, but it could be the fact that it got compiled before the resource was added and cleaning forced a recompile.

What are We Watching this Weekend?
It is fucking grim out there. Nothing new in Boston of a "specialized" cast except for Ladies in Lavender. I might even take Madagascar over that pain.
With all the ringing endorsments of Sith I've gotten from fellow Reverse Shot folks, maybe I'll finally catch up with Clones, then go out and snicker through Lucas's latest/last? Or maybe I'll come up with a better use for two hours of my life.
Did anything interesting open in NYC? Or anywhere?

Seattle, WA—Consumers of organic produce are exposed to less organophosphate pesticide (OP) than those who eat conventional produce, according to a new study out of the University of Washington. Previous studies have relied on urinary biomarkers to determine OP exposure, but this study also looked at dietary intake in its analysis.
In February, Nestlé announced it would clean up its ingredient list on its signature chocolates, followed about a week later by Hershey, with a similar announcement to use "simpler" ingredients in its ubiquitous candies.

Zero is an important digit. One may want to locate all the zeros in the code. I think it would be better to have it in red color. Since also, you need to differentiate it from the alphabet O. Currently red is assigned to string literal constants, which is much easy to locate. May be both of them can exchange colors.

Irvine, Ca - There is plenty of good news coming from Matador Pool on the Cal State Northridge campus.
First - the new weekly Collegiate Water Polo Association Poll is out for this week, and the Matadors are ranked 12th in the nation, their highest ranking in school history.
Second - Jillian Stapf, the junior goalkeeper who is closing in on the school record for career saves, has been named Big West Water Polo Player of the Week.
Thus far in the young 2009 season, Stapf has collected 76 saves in six games, an average of 12.6 goals per game. Stapf has collected double-digits in saves in four of the six games played. Stapf started the season with 19 saves (one short of her career record) against tenth-ranked San Jose State at the recent Michigan Invitational. Later that day, Stapf had another 19 saves against seventh-ranked Arizona State from the Pac-10 Conference.
Stapf now has 699 saves, only 62 short of the school record.
The Matadors travel south this Saturday and Sunday to compete in the Triton Invitational at UC San Diego. On Saturday at 12:45 p.m., the Matadors face league rival UC Santa Barbara. The winner of that game will play at 6:00 p.m. against the winner of the Michigan-Cal State Bakersfield game. The loser of the CSUN-UCSB game will play at 4:45 p.m.
Tournament play will continue on Sunday. Game pairings and times will be determined at the end of first day of play on Saturday.

A report on water quality at Texas beaches says that beach advisories due to pollution dropped last year in the state.
The Natural Resource Defense Council released on Wednesday its
19th annual beach water quality report "Testing the Waters: A Guide
to Water Quality at Vacation Beaches." The report is based on data
from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The report tallied 318 beach health advisory days in 2008 in Texas, a 40 percent decline from the year before.
Environment Texas, an environmental group, is calling for increased federal funding and faster testing for beach water pollution.
Environment Texas tracks which beaches had pollution problems with sewage and bacteria and which ones tested clean.

A new remote access trojan (RAT) that contains surveillance capabilities is targeting anti-regime activists in Syria, the site of continuing violent conflicts.
Known as BlackShades, the tool was distributed via instant messages from hacked Skype accounts.
The attackers were luring dissidents into installing the malware by pretending to be a trusted contact on Skype and encouraging them to download a .pif file that claims to be an important video, according to The Citizen Lab, a research group based at the University of Toronto which studies the cross between cyber security and human rights.
Once installed, the tool drops malicious programs that can remotely log keystrokes and take screenshots, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit digital advocacy group that coordinated with The Citizen Lab on the discovery.
"Evidence suggests that this campaign is being carried by the same pro-Syrian-government hackers responsible for the fake YouTube attack we reported in March, which lured Syrian activists in by advertising pro-opposition videos, stole their YouTube login credentials by asking them to login before leaving a comment, and installed surveillance malware disguised as an Adobe Flash Player update," the EFF's Eva Galperin and Morgan Marquis-Boire wrote in a blog post on Tuesday.
The post said that removing the trojan may not necessarily eliminate the threat because the attackers may have installed additional malicious code while they had control of the victim's machine.
"EFF urges Syrian activists to be especially cautious when downloading files over the internet, even in links that are purportedly sent by friends," Galperin and Marquis-Boire wrote. "As members of the Syrian opposition become more savvy in using encryption, satellite networks, and other tools to evade the Assad regime's extensive internet surveillance capabilities, pro-Syrian-government malware campaigns have increased in frequency and sophistication."
Opposition activists in Syria have been regularly targeted by malware this year, namely the Dark Comet RAT.

Accuracy assessment for the U.S. Geological Survey Regional Land-Cover Mapping Program: New York and New Jersey Region
Zhu, Zhiliang; Yang, Limin; Stehman, Stephen V.; Czaplewski, Raymond L. 2000. Accuracy assessment for the U.S. Geological Survey Regional Land-Cover Mapping Program: New York and New Jersey Region. Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing. 66: 1425-1438.
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with other government and private organizations, is producing a conterminous U.S. land-cover map using Landsat Thematic Mapper 30-meter data for the Federal regions designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Accuracy assessment is to be conducted for each Federal region to estimate overall and class-specific accuracies. In Region 2, consisting of New York and New Jersey, the accuracy assessment was completed for 15 land-cover and land-use classes, using interpreted 1:40,000-scale aerial photographs as reference data. The methodology used for Region 2 features a two-stage, geographically stratified approach, with a general sample of all classes (1,033 sample sites), and a separate sample for rare classes (294 sample sites). A confidence index was recorded for each land-cover interpretation on the 1:40,000-scale aerial photography The estimated overall accuracy for Region 2 was 63 percent (standard error 1.4 percent) using all sample sites, and 75.2 percent (standard error 1.5 percent) using only reference sites with a high-confidence index. User's and producer's accuracies for the general sample and user's accuracy for the sample of rare classes, as well as variance for the estimated accuracy parameters, were also reported. Narrowly defined land-use classes and heterogeneous conditions of land cover are the major causes of misclassification errors. Recommendations for modifying the accuracy assessment methodology for use in the other nine Federal regions are provided.

I am a bit of a drum snob in that I don't know a piece of music that could not be improved with some percussion. Classical music included! As a drummer, however, I am surprisingly not a fan of drum solo's. There is one exception…Buddy Rich.
He had the most wicked left hand that I have ever seen. I've watched his contemporaries as well as some of today's greats and I still can't find an equal. He did more with 4 skins than some guys do with 12. He played a single bass, but because he was so fast on his 2 floor toms it often sounded like a double kick.
Rich had a style that kept me, and every other serious drummer, glued to the screen in an attempt to dissect his technique. And as you can see from these two videos, it was quite difficult because he was so fast that film could barely keep up.
The first video starts as a bit of comedy with Jerry Lewis and leads into a very early solo that defined his incredible style.
This second video cuts in on the solo from his West Side Story Medley. There is a spot at about 1:38 where he's playing the hi-hat with his right hand and both controlling the cymbals and striking them with the left hand. If you're not a drummer you have probably never seen anything like it.
There are lots of great Buddy Rich tie-ins but the three MP3 Albums that I've selected are excellent introductions to Buddy Rich as well pure Big Band/Jazz/Swing classics.
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy includes Channel One Suite, a favorite of solo enthusiasts but a great jazz/band classic as well.
Big Swing Face is also classic Buddy. If you just wanted a jazz/big band album, this is the one you should have in your collection.
The Best Of Buddy Rich/The Pacific Jazz Years contains West Side Story Medley, considered the quintessential Buddy Rich tune. If you want unadulterated Buddy Rich, get this one.
Buddy Rich: Up Close is the DVD I wanted as a kid. It includes close up and varied angles so you can get a better look at his drumming genius. I have included a link to the DVD below, but Buddy Rich: Up Close is also available for digital purchase or rent at Amazon.com.
Buddy Rich Live At The 1982 Montreal Jazz Festival is just that, a great concert just a few years before he passed. Now available only through resellers. A rare treasure.
And something very special, Mel Torme's biography of Buddy Rich called Traps – The Drum Wonder: The Life of Buddy Rich. Mel was a great artist in his own right, but here he writes about "Traps" in a way that could only be accomplished by a life-long friend.

Well things can certainly change in a week can't they? After a disappointing 7 days, ending with a poor showing at the Governors Showcase last week, the North Division stepped it up this week. It wasn't an easy task either for teams such as Pickering and Aurora who had to face strong opponents in St. Michaels, Wellington and Kingston (the latter two were just named in the CJHL Top 20 Rankings), but the North teams found that next gear and took on the challenge.
Game of the Week Review: Aurora Tigers 4 - 1 St. Michaels Buzzers
The game of the week was important for Aurora to take advantage of a road weary Buzzers team who was coming home for an afternoon game after 2 back-to-back road games in Pickering (loss) and Orangeville (SO win). Those first two hard fought games appeared to finally catch up to St. Michaels in this one, and they didn't start off well either with OJHL SW Conference player-of-month David Italiano receiving a misconduct penalty for a warm-up violation (AUR Cameron Morrison would receive one as well).
It took almost 8 minutes of play and a Powerplay opportunity for the Tigers before they got the first goal of the game. Michael Laidley fired home his 4th goal of the season with last weeks North Division 1st star Kory Kennedy getting the lone assist. Ashur Elliot would tie it up for St. Michaels at the 11:17 mark, and the Buzzers looked like they were going to be in a good position heading into the first intermission. However with just under a minute to go, Adam DiBrina got his first of 2 on the night and the Tigers took a 2-1 lead into the dressing room and outshot the Buzzers 13-8 in that period.
The second period saw no scoring and a couple of penalties to Aurora, allowing the Buzzers to get some scoring opportunities to tie the game once again. Tiger's goaltender Kevin Entmaa had other ideas as he turned away all 18 shots he faced in the period. Aurora could only muster 9 towards Buzzer's starter George Argiropoulos.
Aurora would increase their lead to 2 early in the 3rd period, as Drake Board scored just 2:15 in and that would be about it for St. Michaels. They continued to fire shots at Entmaa who would stop all 13 he'd face, and with DiBrina's second goal at 18:37 mark on an empty net, the Tigers walked out of St. Michaels Rink with a 4-1 victory and handed the Buzzers their second loss in 3 nights.
North Division 3 Stars for Oct 1 - Oct 7
Honourable Mention: Robert Powers (Stouffville Spirit)
- Powers was dynamite with 2 goals and 1 assist in helping his team dismantle Burlington last week
3. Kory Kennedy (Aurora Tigers)
- Last weeks 1st star stays hot with 2 assists in Aurora's victory over St. Michaels.
2. Nicolas Lepone (Pickering Panthers)
- A natural hat-trick vs the Buzzers (his former team), Lepone showed confidence and drive as all 3 goals he scored came off of his own rebounds and staying with the play.
1. Vince Herlihey (Lindsay Muskies)
- While his team lost both games this week, Herlihey kept his team in each game with a goal and an assist. The hometown native now has 6 goals and 5 assists on the season.
North Division Rookie of the Week: Michael Carcone (Stouffville Spirit)
Carcone (Whitby ON) had a hand in helping the Spirit demolish Burlington last week, raking up a goal (the game winner!) and two assists. In 8 games the rookie has 2 goals and 5 assists.
Team of the Week: Pickering Panthers
The Pickering Panthers earn team of the week honours with a 1-1 record, but considering they had one of the tougher schedules this week it might be a sign of things to come. The Panthers started their week with a dominating performance against St. Michaels earning two points at home, followed up with an afternoon tilt in Kingston on Sunday to take on the streaking Voyageurs who before this game had won 8 straight games! Pickering managed to take Kingston to Overtime before eventually handing the Voyageurs their 9th straight win, but did pick up a crucial point giving them 3 of a possible 4 points on the weekend and a spot as the top seed in the North Division. This week will see Pickering play only one game, but it will be an important one against divisional rivals the Aurora Tigers!
Game of the Week Preview: Newmarket Hurricanes at Aurora Tigers (Saturday Oct 12, 7:30pm)
Aurora will be coming in on a back-to-back situation having played in Pickering the night before and Newmarket is looking to get back on course after having slipped from the CJHL rankings and the OJHL North-East conference standings. You know both teams are going to come and play in this one!

Does Your Dog Tweet?
Dogs bark, yip, whine, even growl sometimes, but now they can tweet!
By Mindy Norton
Do you tweet?
That has become a familiar question as folks with computers and smart phones engage in social networking through Twitter, a website that allows them to post short messages that others can see. A message is referred to as a tweet.
Three years ago the website recorded about a million tweets in a year. Now it's in the billions - yes, billions, with a "b". A lot of people are finding it a convenient way to stay in touch with their friends and relatives, and keep track of what's going on.
And now, social networking is going to the dogs, literally.
Yes, your dog can tweet, and you can keep track of it.
Mattel has developed a tag called "Puppy Tweets" that attaches to your pet's collar.
As your dog walks around, rolls over, barks, eats, plays or even sleeps, the sound and motion sensor in the tag activates a transmitter that sends a signal to a USB receiver on your home computer.
Then you get a "tweet" that might say something cute like, "Are you at lunch? Remember my two favorite words: doggie bag!" Or, "I bark because I miss you!"
There were over 500 different phrases - and Mattel has just added 200 more - to keep you informed and entertained throughout your day while you're away from your best friend.
The thing to remember is that Puppy Tweets is really just a toy.
It does give you some information about how active your pet is when you're gone, but not what it's really doing. You may get a tweet about your pet having lunch, when it's actually gnawing on the chair leg.
Other limitations: it works only within a certain range of your computer; and it's not a tracking device that can help you find a lost pet.
Puppy Tweets is another example of the interest dog owners have in staying connected to their pets. They give us so much joy when we're with them, that we like to be reminded of the bond we have with them.
If you would to bond with your own best friend, remember that October is Adopt-a-Dog Month. Visit your local animal shelter or pet rescue group and find that special canine companion.
And if you do, maybe you can tweet the good news to the rest of us, when you're speaking of pets.
Speaking of Pets with host Mindy Norton (email@example.com) is for people who care about pets and about humane treatment for animals in general, and who want to celebrate that special relationship between us and our animal companions. Find out more about Speaking of Pets at Alabama Public Radio.

Don't waste your time going to this group!!! Awful experience.... They gave poor attention to a bad stitch job they performed that opened up and healed incorrectly!
Spent more time trying to sell me Botox et al than caring if I had skin cancer...no skin cancer to anti-aging stuff...no money to be made here, so let's move on to the next patient.
- Dr. Farkas has been my dermatologist for a few years now and she is like no other I have ever had.- Other than being highly qualified, she is so easy to talk to and will answer all of your questions with honesty. - She will let you know anything and everything about whatever skincare procedure you might be considering, and help you decide what is best for you.- Dr. Farkas has a kind, gentle demeanor, making you feel comfortable immediately and does everything possible to maintain that comfort level during your visit and/or procedure(s).
I have never been treated so poorly or inefficiently in any other medical venue as I was by Dr. Farkas and her staff. Due to poor communication between the doctor and her office staff I found myself having to make second appointments for the same issue because Dr. Farkas was not given the correct information. My final visit with her left me reeling.

Accuser endorses Haley
Blogger Will Folks, whom I profiled last week, endorses Nikki Haley. A sample:
Of course as upsetting as Haley's reaction to all of this has been, it's not like her election would mark a significant decline in gubernatorial integrity....
And that's what it boils down to for us – the dollars. Given South Carolina's historic lack of economic competitiveness, this state simply cannot afford eight year of Gresham Barrett or four years of Vincent Sheheen.
That's why in the most conflicted sense imaginable we endorse Haley...

Anonymity of computer use has elements similar to that of privacy in computer use that is discussed in the "Conditions of Account" document. However, when using computer and network resources at Mount Holyoke College, anonymity cannot be assured.
Access to College computer resources such as email or web pages, including blogging, is done by the username assigned to an individual. The relation between the username and the individual real name is transparent.
In extraordinary circumstances, the College has taken steps to reduce the transparency of the username to real name relation. Most commonly this involves omitting the individual name and username in the College phone directory, but on rare occasions this has involved providing a more obscure username. (This measure has been taken when there has been a court order relating to harassment or stalking.)
In email, there may be privacy issues relating to email interchanges, but there is no anonymity in the interchange. As noted in our "Acceptable use Unacceptable Use Policies" document, we do not permit the "forgery or other misrepresentation of one's identity". This does not preclude someone attempting to hide one's identity as long as there is no misrepresentation or attempt to defraud. (For example, email from the "MHC Today" newsletter comes from a special address rather than from the username of the individual who sends it.)
In 2009, Blogging on the College website was implemented. Blogs are assigned by username and postings are related to username by the computer.
The blogging tool does allow the user to display a "screen name" and the underlying username is not displayed unless the individual chooses to display it. Having a screen name that hides the identity is not prohibited unless that screen name is seen as misrepresenting the individual as someone else. (For example, it would not be appropriate to have a screen name that appears to be someone else's identity.)
Identity may be obscured, but that cannot guarantee anonymity. As mentioned above, in an extraordinary circumstance determined by Public Safety or appropriate Dean, the assignment of a different username for a particular computing purpose might be deemed prudent. However, there can be no certainty that anonymity will be maintained.
Here are just a few of a number of things that could compromise anonymity. Even if a username is obscured, there are ways it may be discovered.
Blogging in particular is a very public behavior. Anonymity when blogging cannot be guaranteed, although identity may be obscured. When blogging, the individual needs to be aware that what they are writing may be attributed to them, even when steps are taken to obscure the identity.

State's Chief Justice Calls For Death Penalty Case Reform, by Crystal Carreon
Professor and Associate Dean for Public Interest and Clinical Education Lawrence Marshall is quoted in the Sacramento Bee about Chief Justice Ronald George's call for death penalty reform:
...Stanford Law School professor Lawrence Marshall later told commissioners that the proposal could, in effect, just add another tier of lengthy legal review, further protracting a notoriously slow process.
"I understand the impetus," the professor said to the panel. "But, on some level, they are rearranging the furniture..."
Marshall, who had been influential in commuting death sentences in Illinois as an advocate for the wrongfully convicted, said the state's unprecedented backlog is the result of the state's breadth of the more than 30 penal code offenses that qualify for the death penalty.
He proposed that narrowing the scope of death penalty cases to only the "worst of the worst" as a way to greatly diminish the number of inmates at San Quentin's Death Row.

- WU's location feeds political aspirations
Through her internship with the Citizen's Representative Office, Neha Mandava '15 (left) was spurred to research the foraging behavior of California sea lions for a class.
Through Willamette's Politics Internship Program, students have an opportunity to intern with Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber each year.
Where Are They Now?
Since interning for an Oregon state agency, many Willamette alumni have achieved success in numerous fields. Here are some examples:
- Kerry Tymchuk '81, JD'84, director, Oregon Historical Society
- Kirsten (Olson) Wyatt '99, assistant city manager, City of West Linn
- Tobias Read '97, Oregon state representative
- Allison de la Torre '05, executive director, Alabama School Readiness Alliance
- Geneva Hooten '11, transportation and environmental planner, David Evans and Associates, Inc. in Denver
- Jeff Short '11, district director, California Assemblywoman Beth Gaines
- Elizabeth Calixtro '13, community liaison, City of Independence
- Rey Goicochea '13, full-ride scholarship winner, Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan

Capitol interns gain insight into service, political careers
They provide constituents with needed information. They conduct research that influences policy makers, and they learn leadership and communication skills that jumpstart their careers.
Each year, dozens of Willamette University students walk across the street to the Oregon State Capitol, where they gain valuable work experience by interning with the governor, legislators and other state leaders. No other college or university in the Northwest offers such direct access to state government.
For some, the experience has spurred an interest in local politics, motivating them to become educated about community issues. For others, the internships helped them land their dream jobs.
Whatever the outcome, students and alumni alike agree that Willamette's proximity to the State Capitol is a tremendous asset.
"I'll be studying laws that I, in a way, helped pass," says Caitlynn Dahlquist '15, JD '18, a legislative intern for Sen. Betsy Close, R-Albany.
"Now I know what legislative intent means and why bills go through different processes. I'm getting my foot in the door, if I ever decide to work there."
Legislative Aspirations
Dahlquist, who's majoring in politics and psychology, has long wanted to work with the state legislature. She found her opportunity by enrolling in Willamette's Politics Internship Program.
Each semester, anywhere from a few to nearly 30 students enroll in the course, which pairs a class on theory with the practical experience of interning with either the governor or a legislator.
Participants work about 12 hours per week, attend periodic seminars and produce logs of internship activities. They also write a final research paper on a topic related to their experiences.
Dahlquist, who continued her internship after the course ended, tackles such duties as corresponding with constituents and managing the senator's schedule.
"Being a part of the process is really exciting," Dahlquist says. "It's helped me direct my own goals."
Besides the politics department, several of Willamette's other academic departments help connect students with internship and research opportunities, including economics and history.
These connections between Willamette and the Capitol are invaluable, Close says, because they give students a better understanding of how government systems operate.
"The legislature is a microcosm of what they will deal with in their private lives," Close says. "Education, health care, social services — they are getting quite an education."
Working for the Governor
Joslin Schultz '14 and Neha Mandava '15 are both interning for the Citizen's Representative Office for Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber.
They research for the governor's policy advisers, connect constituents to the resources they need, and draft letters on the governor's behalf.
"We are the first line for communication with the governor," says Schultz, an American ethnic studies major. "There's a lot of weight in our words. We're speaking for the governor."
Schultz, who aspires to become a lawyer, says her internship has given her a window to understanding how government works.
"Even if I'm not directly working with policy, it has taught me how much thought goes into policy and rhetoric," she says.
"I consciously analyze everything I'm saying, and I'm careful when I write template letters. I need to separate my opinions from the governor's opinions."
Mandava agrees, saying her internship inspired a research project in her Behavioral Ecology class.
Through her project, she studied the language used by the law, government, media, public organizations and scientists to describe the foraging behavior of California sea lions.
"The Oregon government has granted permission to haze and kill sea lions that eat salmon in the Columbia River," says Mandava, who's double majoring in biology and politics. "I have received a lot of calls at the Governor's office from people who have strong opinions about this."
Going Places
For Randy Ealy '91 and Martha Bennett '89, their own internships at the State Capitol led to established careers in politics.
Ealy interned for two state senators and now works as the chief administrative officer for the City of Beaverton.
And Bennett — who interned with the League of Oregon Cities — has since become the chief operating officer for Metro, an elected regional government for the Portland metropolitan area.
Ealy credits his internships for giving him "the city manager bug."
"If you're looking at a career in public service, Salem is where you want to be because of your access and the great partnerships the university has with the Capitol and the Legislature," he says.
Bennett agrees, saying the skills she acquired through her internship continue to help her to this day.
"Relationship building, fast research projects, finding common ground — I need to understand where people are coming from to get stuff done," she says. "Willamette is like a living laboratory. All that stuff you are learning about in class, you go across the street and experience it."

Posted: 02/18/14
Earth Defense Force has long been filed under the "so bad it's good" category, criticized for having a basic look, poor frame rate, and underdeveloped gameplay. But what other series lets you fire a rocket into a horde of tank-sized spiders, just to watch their bodies and dismembered legs fly 100 feet into the air? It wants to make shooting unending hordes of monsters as fun as it should be, treating simplicity like a badge of honor. Earth Defense Force 2025, the latest release, is the strongest realization of that goal yet, turning the series from a guilty pleasure to a legitimately good time.
The goal in Earth Defense Force is always the same: kill all of the giant bugs, robots, and other monstrosities that plague each of the 85 levels. The method of extermination is up to you, and the game offers plenty of options.
Maybe you'll serve your planet as the reliable Ranger that starts with an assault rifle and rocket launcher. The Wing Diver takes to the skies, offering the best mobility of any of the classes, but she's also the most fragile. Those that prefer supporting friends in either online or offline co-op will want to roll out the Air Raider, which can call down vehicles like mechs, tanks, and helicopters. Arguably the craziest class of the four is the Fencer. Capable of wielding four weapons at once, the Fencer is a heavily-armored menace that favors giant melee weapons like the humorously named Vibro Hammer.
Total destruction of enemy forces is always your goal, but the distinct feel of each class keeps the insect eradication from getting dull. After spending a dozen or so missions with the nimble Wing Diver, for example, playing as the lumbering Fencer will seem completely foreign. Each class necessitates such a different approach that a lot of enjoyment comes from uncovering all of their quirks.
Furthering separating classes are their unique arsenals, which incorporate much more than just garden variety weapons. There's the Thunder Sniper, for instance, which literally fires bolts of electricity. One of the Ranger's weapons acts like a nuclear bomb, shooting a neon blue orb of energy that's so large, it can seemingly destroy an entire city block. Many of these guns are so ridiculous that it's almost impossible resisting the temptation of trying a new weapon out. You'll even want to replay old missions on a higher difficulty just to have a better chance of unlocking more powerful artillery. Even seemingly useless devices like Caesar Wire, which shoots a clump of spider web at the enemy, are fun to use at least once based on novelty alone.
Playing co-op is almost twice as good as going alone since it causes so much pandemonium. It's nuts when one person is perpetually firing explosive weaponry, but with partners it's pure bedlam. Your options for multiplayer mayhem come in the form of two-player split-screen or with up to four players online. Expect the constant calamity to make the frame rate buckle regularly, but if that's the sacrifice needed to cram so many creepy crawlers on-screen, it's totally worth it.
Adding to the anarchy is friendly fire, and considering how dense the swarms of enemy attackers can be, it's easy losing friends in the mess. When you're still getting the hang of things, you can expect to die from ill-timed rocket blasts by co-earth defenders if the bug bites don't get you first. Thankfully, you can revive buddies, but the cost is a hefty chunk of life. Even with all of the hazards, playing with others elicits far more laughter than it does complaining.
Other small touches go a long way in prolonging the appeal of Earth Defense Force 2025. The campy outbursts from AI soldiers and citizens return after being absent in 2011's largely sterile Insect Armageddon. Expect random remarks about love, marriage, and family as you're surrounded by killer robots the size of skyscrapers.
Speaking of skyscrapers, almost any building can be blown apart, which goes a long way in making you feel like a super soldier. In past Earth Defense Force games, buildings just sort of crumbled, but here they break apart in a much more convincing fashion. It's probably not going to put the Frostbite Engine out of business, but it hardly matters. In a game about wreaking dumb havoc, it more than serves its purpose.
On the surface, Earth Defense Force 2025 may just seem like one big stupid juvenile fantasy, which it is, but it's also more than that. The game offers dozens of moments that you just can't get anywhere else, and there's simply nothing like shooting a bug out of the sky with a giant laser. It's pretty great that in 2014 you can drop $40 and waste an entire weekend killing things straight out of a low-budget sci-fi movie. It may not last much longer than that, but your memories of a gloriously idiotic couple of days will remain for years.

Lindsey Cheek was voted MVP.
May 5, 2014
The goal all season long for the 2014 Georgia gymnastics team was to improve on last year's finish, and the Gym Dogs did just that. Despite losing four seniors from the 2013 team who earned a combined nine All-America honors, Georgia placed fifth in the NCAA Super Six - its best finish since the 2009 national championship season. The Gym Dogs did it by navigating through what was rated as the toughest schedule in the country. UGA recorded 14 wins over ranked opponents, including seven against teams ranked in the top-10.
Georgia advanced to the Super Six by placing second in the afternoon session of the NCAA semifinals with a 197.300. The Gym Dogs scored a 196.000 or higher in every competition for just the second time in program history, and the 2014 team became just the second Georgia team to post a 197.000 or higher in each home meet.
Postseason Honors
Seven Georgia gymnasts earned a total of 16 All-America honors in 2014. NCAA First Team All-Americans included Lindsey Cheek (vault, bars, beam), Brandie Jay (vault, floor) and Mary Box (beam). Box also earned second team honors on floor, along with Cat Hires, while Chelsea Davis was a second-team All-American on bars. Cheek is the first four-time first team vault All-American in Georgia history, and she moved into ninth on the Gym Dogs' all-time single season beam points list.
NACGC/W Regular Season All-America honors went to Cheek (first team bars; second team vault and beam), Davis (first team bars), Kaylan Earls (first team beam) and Brittany Rogers (second team bars and all-around).
Cheek was named the first ever SEC Event Specialist of the Year by vote of the league's head coaches, and Lauren Johnson claimed a share of the SEC vault title with her thrilling 9.975 at the SEC Championship. Cheek, Davis, Johnson and Kiera Brown were named to the All-SEC team.
Jay Hogue and Philip Ogletree were voted NACGC/W Southeast Region Assistant Coaches of the Year.
Finished the season ranked sixth nationally ... Georgia peaked at the right time on vault as the top four team vault scores came in the last month of the season ... Lauren Johnson won a share of the SEC vault title, becoming the 21st SEC vault champion in UGA history ... vault coach Philip Ogletree was named NACGC/W Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year ... The 49.625 against Denver on March 8 tied for the highest vault score of any team in the regular season.
For the last 10 weeks of the season, Georgia was ranked No. 1 nationally on the uneven bars ... The high mark of the year - and over the last 15 years - came on March 22 when the Gym Dogs set an SEC Championship record with a 49.7 ... Georgia also posted a 49.675 in the second rotation against Arkansas to tie what was then the seventh-best bars score in school history ... Georgia used the same bars lineup in all 15 meets. Three Gym Dogs were ranked in the top-nine nationally on bars: Chelsea Davis and Lindsey Cheek were tied for second, Brittany Rogers was ninth, Kiera Brown was tied for 19th and Brandie Jay is tied for No. 24 ... bars coach Jay Hogue was named NACGC/W Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year.
Georgia was ranked sixth in the country on the balance beam ... Two Gym Dogs finished in the top-three on beam in the NCAA Championships - Lindsey Cheek was the NCAA runner-up, and Mary Beth Box tied for third ... Kaylan Earls (seventh) was the highest ranked Gym Dog on beam ... By the end of the season, Georgia's beam lineup consisted of three freshmen and a sophomore.
Georgia had more NCAA All-Americans on floor (Brandie Jay, Mary Beth Box, Cat Hires) than on any other event ... The Gym Dogs saved one of their best floor performances of the year for one of the biggest moments of the year as they scored a 49.45 in the NCAA Prelims to secure a spot in the Super Six ... Georgia finished the season ranked No. 10 on floor.

The panel is headed by former Australian Health Minister Dr. Neal Blewett.
Trans fat are widely considered one of the most dangerous fats in our diet, even more dangerous than saturated fat. Because of this danger, many countries have looked into its negative health affect on its citizens.
For instance, Switzerland and Denmark have totally banned trans fats from foods in their countries. And, the United States requires compulsory labeling of trans fats in its foods.
Trans fat is an unsaturated fat (such as monounsaturated or polyunsaturated) that contains trans-isomer fatty acids.
The chemical process of partial hydrogenation makes trans fat. (If you see "partially hydrogenated oils" on labeling, you know it contains trans fat.)
