HTORA/EVS United States Patent O METHD FOR DESTATHCIZRNG POLYETHYLENE AND ARTICLES THEREBY OBTAINED Wilhelm E. Walles, Midland, Mich., assignor to The Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Mich., a corporation of Delaware Application April 39, 1956, Serial No. 581,556
18 Claims. (Cl. 117--69) This invention relates to a method for destaticizing polyethylene and shaped articles comprised of polyethylene so as to overcome their propensity for accumulating static electrical charges. It also has reference to the destaticized polyethylene articles thereby obtained.
Polyethylene has many attractive properties which make it desirable for employment in various shaped articles including fibers, filaments, yarns, threads (and fabrics constructed therefrom), ribbons, tapes, foils, films, sheets, molding and the like. Shaped articles from polyethylene, however, exhibit an inordinate capacity for accumulating surface charges of static electricity. This characteristic makes them extremely difcult and unwieldly to manipulate and handle during various manufacturing operations and use applications. It also lessens their attractiveness in other aspects for being employed for many purposes. For example, many individuals may object to the delitescent electrical shocks they may be subject to or the sparks that may be discharged when I they serve as the effective grounding means for polyethylene articles when there is a considerable accumulation of electrical charges on the articles. Furthermore, electrostatically charged polyethylene articles display great tendencies to collect dust and dirt and to have undesirably high degrees of soil retentivity. This of course, limits their adaptability for being utilized in a completely satisfactory manner for many upholstery, furnishing, decorative and other uses.
There are many known materials that have been proposed and claimed as possessing the capability, when applied as an antistatic agent, to destaticize synthetic hydrophobic polymeric materials including polyethylene. Most of the known antistatic agents and materials are comprised of molecules that contain both hydrophilic and hydrophobic units or portions therein. The hydrophilic portion of the molecule in such antistatic agents is designed and adapted to attract or retain moisture, or both, which increases the electrical conductivity or reduces the electrical resistivity of the surface on which the agent is attached. The hydrophobic portion of the molecule, which is generally more similar to the usually hydrophobic materials, such as polyethylene, that are desired to be destaticized, is intended to provide the anchoring or attachment of the agent on the surface through the physical influence of so-called Van der Waals forces or the like in order to permit the desired conductivityincreasing function of the hydrophilic portions of the antistatic agents molecule to exert its beneficial effect. As is generally comprehended, a surface which is relatively more electrically conductive (or less resistive) is usually more antistatic in nature in that it tends less to accumulate charges of static electricity.
While it would be highly advantageous to effectively and in a substantially permanent manner provide antistatic agents and materials on the surfaces of polyethylene articles, great difficulty has been encountered in achieving such a desideration through the practice of heretofore known techniques. The considerable chemical inertness of polyethylene and the relatively smooth, sleek and impervious surfaces which occur on the vast majority of polyethylene articles usually prevent suitable chemical bonding or physical attachment, or both, from being obtained with the antistatic agents that may be applied thereto. As a consequence, most antistatic agents and materials are not sufficiently substantive for or adherescent on polyethylene articles to avoid having an undesirable susceptibility for being removed upon exposure to various solvents, including water and organic materials.
It would be advantageous and extremely beneficial to provide polyethylene surfaces with hydrophilic substituents that were effectively and substantially permanently attached without being dependent upon mere physical attractions for such purposes or without requiring to be applied while in molecular connection with a hydrophobic unit that is adapted to be physically attracted to the siuface. In this way, the usually encountered shortcomings and deficiencies of conventional antistatic agents could be avoided for purposes of destaticizing polyethylene. v
Therefore, it is among the principal objects of the present invention to provide an improved destaticizing method for polyethylene articles so that they might be less propense to develop static electric charges. It is also an object of the invention to provide a method for destaticizing polyethylene articles so that the benefits of such treatment are effectively and substantially permanently retained by the article despite rigorous exposure to washing and cleaning with water and organic materials and other solvent exposures. It is among the ancillary objects of the invention to provide destaticized polyethylene articles which result from practice of the method. It is a predominating object of the present invention to accomplish these intendments without detraction from or deletion of the other desirable characteristics and properties of polyethylene.
According to the present invention, all or any desired portion of the surface of polyethylene or a polyethylene article may be destaticized by a method which comprises subjecting the surface of the polyethylene or polyethylene article to the action of a sulfonating reagent selected from the group consisting of concentrated sulfuric acid containing at least about 98 percent by weight of H2804, oleum, anhydrous solutions of oleum and free sulfur trioxide and subsequently applying to the thereby sulfonated surface an agent consisting of a hydrophilic compound that is free from hydrophobic groups and contains a functional basic atom in its molecular arrangement that, preferably, is a nitrogen atom. Advantageously, the sulfonated surface may be washed free from excess sulfonating reagent prior to the application of the hydrophilic agent. Practice of the method of the invention, if carefully conducted, has no adverse effect on pigments and other additaments such as stabilizers and the like which may be dispersed throughout the polyethylene for various purposes. After application of the hydrophilic agent which exerts a desired antistatic influence on the surface of the polyethylene article to which it is firmly attached, the destaticized product may be employed satisfactorily in any application wherein it is desirable for it to be substantially free from surface accumulation of static electrical charges. The functionally basic hydrophilic agent, which, preferably, contains a functionally basic nitrogen atom, is elfectively and substantially permanently retained on destaticized polyethylene articles in accordance with the invention.
While the surface sulfonation of the polyethylene may be accomplished with any of the sulfonating agents of the invention, it is usually more advantageous to employ oleum (which is sometimes known as fuming sulfuric acid) containing from trace amounts to about 10 percent by weight of dissolved, free sulfur trioxide. If desired, the oleum can also be employed beneficially in anhydrous solutions with other materials such as acetic anhydride and the like which permit effective quantities of thesulfur trioxide to be available in an amount which is equivalent to that which is provided in the oleum. in certain instances, it may be convenient to employ free sulfur trioxide vapors which, beneficially, may be diluted to a concentration `as low as lO percent or less, for example, with a suitable inert gas such as nitrogen.
Generally, a satisfactory degree of surface sulfonaticn may be obtained when operating at temperatures between the freezing point of the sulfonating reagent and about 150 C. for periods of time ranging from matters of merely several seconds or even almost instantaneous periods which involve mere fractions of :seconds to hours. Frequently, when an oleum is employed which contains dissolved, free sulfur trioxide in amounts ranging from traces to about l percent 'oy weight, the surface sulfonation may be performed suitably at an operating temperature of about 50 C. within a time period of about five minutes.
The degree .of surface sulfonation which is obtained on the polyethylene article predetermines the relative quantity of the hydrophilic agent that may be effectively and permanently attached thereto upon its subsequent application and, for all practical purposes, precurses the results which may be realized by practice of the invention. rPhe degree of sulfonation that may be obtained in any particular instance is somewhat interdependent on the nature of the polyethylene and the specific physical form or structure of the polyethylene article that is being treated, the strength or effective sulfur trioxide concentration of the reagent, the operating temperature and the length of the treatment. Care should be taken to avoid sulfonation conditions which may be too strong or vigorous, as may occur when an oleum is employed With a relatively high 'free sulfur trioxide content at too high a temperature or for .too long a period of time. Care should also be taken to employ more moderate treating conditions upon more delicate structures such as fine filaments or fibers and the like. If such precautions are not assiduously observed, the polyethylene article may be caused to decompose and degrade resulting in its being darkened and discolored to an intolerable extent. Conversely, optimum destaticizing results may not be obtained if overly weak sulfonating conditions are employed which may not sufficiently modify the surface of the polyethylene article to permit a suitably beneficial quantity of the anti-static agent to be effectively and permanently applied thereto.
The functionally basic hydrophilic agent that may ybe employed in the practice of the invention may consist of any type of hydrophilic unit that may be desired and that is free from hydrophobic groups. As is apparent, units that have Imore definitely pronounced hydrophilic tendencies, such as those that may contain a plurality of hydroxyl and equivalent substituents, usually secure a greater destaticizing benefi in the practice of the invention, frequently with application of relatively smaller quantities, than when less hydrophilic units are involved. Preferably, as has been indicated, the basic functionality of the hydrophilic agent is derived from a functionally basic nitrogen atom that is contained in the molecule with the hydrophilic unit as in various amines and the like and in compounds having quaternary ammonium groups such as in alkyl pyridines and the like. If desired however, the basic functionality of the agent may be derived from other than nitrogen atoms as in certain quaternary compounds of phosphorous, arsenic and antimony and in certain ternary sulfur compounds. It may also be derived from oxygen atoms having certain structural characteristics as are present in particular ether linkages. Advantageously, a hydrophilic amine that is free from hydrophobic groups and contains any beneficial hydrophilic unit in its molecule may be utilized. It is generally desirable Cir for the hydrophilic agent to have relatively pronounced hydrophilic characteristics as may be obtained when it contains a hydrophilic unit in the molecule that consists of at least about 3 hydrophilic rnoups such as hydroxyl groups. This more readily secures a marked desta-tici'zing effect in the polyethylene article upon application of the hydrophilic agent to the sul'fonated surface. Some degree of destaticization may be obtained, however, with such relatively low molecular weight amine hydrophilic agents as diethanolamine, triethanolamine, diethylene triamine and the like.
Polyglycol amines, particularly those having a molecular weight of at least about may usually be employed with especial advantage as hydrophilic agents in the practice .of the invention. Such polyglycol amines, for example, as glucosamine or as contain in their molecules at least about 3 to 4 recurring glycol units from ethylene or propylene oxide, or both, such as the polyglycol amines which may be obtained from The Dow Chemical Company under the trade-designations Dow polyglycolamine 3F57 and Dow polyglycolamine 3F59 or under the trade-name Dowanol 22 Amine, may generally be utilized with exceptional benefit.
Since the application of the hydrophilic agent on the sulfonated polyethylene surface is essentially in the nature of a metathetical reaction, there is little criticality involved in the conditions of its employment with respect to time, temperature and concentration. It is usually beneficial and convenient, however, to apply it from a relatively low concentration dispersion or solution, as between about l and 5 percent by weight, in a suitable liquid medium such as water. This manner of employment permits immersion of the sulfonated polyethylene in an applicating bath of the hydrophilic agent although, if desired, other application techniques may also be utilized for the hydrophilic agent. The extremely effective and substantially permanent retention of the hydrophilic agent by the polyethylene in the practice of the invention is due to the bonding ionic attraction involved between the former and the sulfonated surface of the latter. In practical effect, as it were, the method of the invention destaticizes the hydrophobic polyethylene article by a superficial provision of the `necessary hydrophilic material Without involving or requiring extraneous and external hydrophobic matter.
Any desired degree of destaticization of the polyethylene article may be effected. Generally, within the limits of beneficial operating conditions, longer and more intense sulfonations permit the subsequent application of greater amounts of the hydrophilic agent to yieldproducts having greater degrees of antistatic characteristics. It is possible, for example, to prepare a polyethylene article that is sufficiently destaticized so as to be substantially completely antistatic in character. Advantageously, the invention may be practiced with fabricated articles including fibers, filaments, yarns, threads, ribbons, tapes, foils, films, sheets, moldings and the like and on materials constructed therefrom such as cloth and fabric from textile fibers, filaments and the like of polyethylene. As indicated, an entire surface need not be destaticized on such fabricated articles as films and moldings or on other articles. lf it is not desired or required to obtain the benefit of a completely destaticized surface, only certain preferred areas or portions of a surface may be treated in accordance with the invention.
In the accompanying drawing there is schematically illustrated a sheet in Figure l and a filament in Figure 2 as lbeing typical polyethylene articles whose surfaces may advantageously be destaticized in accordance with the present invention.
By way of exemplary illustration, a colored fabric woven from pigmented polyethylene monofilament was immersed in a 3 percent oleum (which contains about 3 percent by weight of free sulfur trioxide dissolved in H2804) at a temperature of about 50 C. for about five aaeaooe minutes. After being sulfonated, the fabric was washed thoroughly in water and then immersed in a 2 percent by weight aqueous solution of glucosamine which was maintained at a temperature of about 50 C. ri'he immersion was continued for about live minutes before the treated fabric was removed from the solution the hydrophilic agent, washed thoroughly with water and dried. its surface resistivity was then tested to determine its antistatic characteristics by tautly connecting a sample of the destaticized fabric between two electrodes, each of which were 7 centimeters long, spaced parallel 4 centimeters apart and across which there was applied a 500 volt direct current potential. The test was conducted at room temperature under about 80 percent relative humidity. The surface resistivity of the destaticized fabric was found to be about 101@ ohmcentimeters. in comparison, untreated polyethylene fabric of the same type has a surface resistivity between about 1012 and 101L ohm centimeters. The destaticized fabric retained its antistatic character without appreciable alteration even after being subjected to water at about 55 C. for 1/2 hour and to a five minute immersion in acetone.
Similar good results were obtained when 2 percent by weight aqueous solutions of Dow polyglycolamine 3F57, Dow polyglycolamine 3F59 and LDowanol 22 Amine were employed as hydrophilic agents in place of glycosamine. When diethanolamine was employed in the same manner as a hydrophilic agent in place of glucosamine, the antistatic character of the destaticized fabric was reduced in the neighborhood of 10 percent (expressed in surface resistivity value) from the foregoing. When diethylene triamine, triethanolamine, monoisopropanolamine and guanidine carbonate were employed, a destaticizing effect was obtained although its magnitude was much less pronounced than that achieved with glucosamine.
Similar excellent results may be obtained when other sulfonating conditions within the scope of the invention are employed on the polyethylene and when other polyglycolamines and other functionally basic nitrogen atomcontaining and other hydrophilic materials are utilized.
1t is to be fully understood that the present invention is to be construed and interpreted not by the foregoing didactic description and specication but in the light of what is set forth and defined in the appended claims.

Gas enjoys new UK policy win as fracking ban is lifted

The notion that shale gas represents an existential threat to renewables has become a common theme of high-level energy discussions in recent years.
However, in most places the break-even point for shale gas exploitation will be on a par with – or higher than – the cost of utility-scale renewables by the time shale gas development takes off in any commercially significant way, claims Channell, a former oil and gas analyst.
Thanks to its domestic shale gas boom, US natural gas prices currently trade at $3.29 per million British thermal units (BTU) – a price which renewables "can't get near", Channell acknowledges.
But at those prices most producers are losing money, making them unsustainable.
A break-even price for US shale gas is "probably more like" $4-$6 per mmBTU, and Channell notes that future regulations, such as a mandate to trap fugitive methane emissions, would add another $1-$2 per mmBTU.
At that price – and even in the face of a flood of natural gas – utility-scale solar would be competitive across much of the US by the end of the decade.
Moreover, the lag time facing shale gas development in other parts of the world, including Europe and Asia, means that renewables will already be fully cost-competitive by the time significant production comes on stream.
"There's this perception that shale gas is this impossibly abundant, incredibly cheap source of energy that's going to sweep everything before it and … [ultimately represent] the death of renewables," said Channell, speaking at a Scottish Renewables conference in Edinburgh.
"But what we're finding is that renewables actually get there first, everywhere outside the US."
Well-sited onshore wind farms can already compete with gas at $8-$9 per mmBTU – half the current gas price in Japan, Channell claims, adding that "wind causes much fewer problems in terms of grid stability than solar".
But in spite of the dramatic decline already seen in PV prices in recent years, solar holds by far the greatest potential for continued cost reductions. "Solar still holds the chance for new eureka moments and game-changing shifts in manufacturing and technology," Channell says.

The power of physics,
This review is from: Sustainable Energy - Without the Hot Air (Paperback)
The world needs physicists and engineers like never before to ensure that Mankind can live peacefully and sustainably in the future. This book is the best material to inspire intelligent youngsters who may be choosing to do a science subject at university that science can really be used to solve Mankind's problems. By working through the topics especially in the additional chapters they will begin to see that what they have learned at school is the building block of what they will learn at University and how these tools can have a real application to the problems of the world.
For all intelligent adults who have had a science training, this book is the one to reassure you that science (even simple science - not rocket science) allows a refreshing view on energy that puts all the waffle you hear on the media into stark contrast.
How pleased we should be that Professor David MacKay has been appointed Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK Government's Department of Energy and Climate Change. If he can persuade the policymakers with the same humour and candour we find in Sustainable Energy - without the hot air then the UK should be able to play an authoritative role in international deliberations on energy and climate change. Roll on Copenhagen.

I am going to Vegas with a group of friends for 5 nights. There will be 12 of us and we want to see the Grand Canyon. We are looking at options for getting there and I would appreciate any advice, recommendations. Budget wise, I don't think we would want to spend more than $250-300pp and not sure how that would work with option 1
1. Helicopter flight from Vegas to Grand Canyon (with / without landing for walk around)
2. Coach transfer from Vegas to canyon and back (with time for walk around / lunch)
3. Hire a few nice open top cars and drive ourselves
Would appreciate any pointers.
Thanks, Ad

I'm a driver at heart, so I'd take #3. The advantage is control of your schedule. Also, it would allow a visit to Hoover Dam or at least time to stop and admire the views from the new bridge across the Colorado River plus maybe a brief side trip out Route 66 segments. Helo flights give you an overview, but airspace rules keep them fairly high up these days. The coach is probably the lease expensive option,

#3 for sure if you can spend an overnight at the Grand Canyon. Even if you can't stay overnight, #3 would still be my first choice. If you're just renting the cars for one day, pay the extra money and have at least one additional driver per car. It's a long drive there and back in one day but if you share driving duties it won't be so bad.

Rent 1 12 passenger van. http://www.airportvanrental.com/las-vegas-airport-van-rental.html
Make a reservation at the Hacienda casino/hotel which is quite close to Hoover Dam. There is a helicopter tour which takes off from a little hill next to the Hacienda parking lot. The ones who don't want to fly can take the van down to and across the dam. Park at the second lot (free) in Arizona and walk back over the dam into Nevada.
The next day drive in the van to the South Rim to see Grand Canyon NP.
If you can't get lodging in the park you can make it back to the Hacienda. Don't spend big bucks just to sleep in a hotel on the "Strip".

There are also fixed wing planes that do trips to GC. We took one in the 90's that went up lake Meade and landed at the airport near the rim, then took us on a bus to a place for lunch and to the Bright Angel, where we were able to get out for a short while then up to Hermit's rest for a stop and then back to Vegas before supper. It was fine, but since that time we've been back to stay over night many times. If you can do it on your own.
Report Abuse
The driving time from Vegas to the GC is about 5 hours, but if nobody in the group is experienced with driving vans - I would consider renting maybe 3 cars - with 4 to a car.
If you are only going for a day - get up early and hit the road before Vegas traffic starts - ideally at Oh Dark Thirty - and you can grab coffee and rolls, whatever on the way and have lunch at one of the places on the Rim at the GC , such as Bright Angel Lodge - or the more upscale El Tovar.
Take the free bus shuttle (on off type) - toward the various overlooks (mainly to the west - you can more easily drive to the 2 or 3 lookouts to the east) and then head back to Vegas. Driving at night is no big deal if you leave the GC with a full tank of gas which should just about get you all the way back.
However - if you could spend a night at the GC it would be worth it - IMO.
Report Abuse
A day/night in the GC would be far more rewarding(and less expensive, if you consider you won't be gambling) than the 1 night you take from Vegas. See the Sunrise and Sunset at the GC. Have a meal at El Tovar.
Report Abuse
We were in Vegas last January. We did the helicopter tour because that is all we had time to do on our short trip. Although I had been warned about the West/South rim thing, again, we had to do a half day trip and that took us to the West Rim which is "not part of the national park" and all of that official-ness. Sometimes you just have to do what you can, and for us, it was either do the West Rim by helicopter or not do the trip at all, due to time constraints and other people travelling with us. We chose the former.
All I can tell you is it was one of the more memorable experiences I have had. Although I am sure others have had better, up close and personal experiences with the Canyon, I felt like I saw the GC and experienced its vastness and beauty in a way I will never forget. We did land for a few minutes and walk around, but the highlight was really just flying around and seeing that amazing terrain for all its wonder. (And seeing just how small we really were! I was surprised when I saw how small another chopper was in comparison to the canyon.) We did see the Hoover Dam. Although it was not directly in our flight pattern, we did see it briefly enough to see the dam itself and get a look at it.
The cost of the flight was about the price you listed, and they offered a package with a DVD recording of the experience, which I have never viewed again (and I am not even sure it was our exact flight pattern--just the voiceover of our group on a basic flight pattern of the package), so I don't recommend it especially if it's a price increase.
I think there were maybe 5 per helicopter, plus the pilot? Can't remember exactly. We booked through our hotel.
Bottom line: I am sure one of the other options is better, but considering you are trying to make 12 people happy, if it comes down to having to do a chopper ride in a half day over the West Rim, don't say no to the whole thing altogether. Do it.
Report Abuse
Thanks everyone - this is really helpful. I think we are going to drive it in a day. We already have 5 nights at the Luxor booked as part of our package so not looking to stay near the GC. Will also look at fly options to save time but driving it ourselves sounds fun. Found Hertz car rental at Ceasars Palace doing a 7 seater for about £150 per day which is pretty good.

text: I purchased this toolbox, I reviewed it for several months and then finally made my choice. I choose the green to be a little different than the normal black and blue. When I received the box my mouth dropped with complete excitement. This box is made better and looks better than any other mechanic at my shop, 12 mechanics work with me. I had the most space, perfect drawer design and super heavy duty metal. Almost all the mechanics here are really looking hard into trading their name brand, snap on, Matco and Mac, tool boxes in to buy this box. I believe this box is the best of all worlds of owning a tool box. From everyday to the weekend warrior. In my book best purchase so far and the greatest price. Thanks again for great customer service and excellent delivery time frame. ...(Posted on 5/27/2015)

Cliff Richard Celebrates His 70th birthday
Veteran singer Sir Cliff Richard celebrates his 70th birthday on Thursday, October 14, marking a music career that has spanned a staggering seven decades. The pop star has broken numerous records throughout his time in the music industry, scoring his first U.K. number one single in 1959 with "Living Doll" and going on to land chart hits in every decade from the 1950s to the 2000s - tying the record with Elvis Presley.
Richard has sold over 260 million records worldwide over the years and become a stalwart of Britain's entertainment industry. He is celebrating his 70th birthday by performing six special shows at London's Royal Albert Hall, where he holds the record for the most ever performances at the venue.
To mark Sir Cliff's milestone, WENN has compiled 10 fascinating facts about the beloved pop veteran, wishing him a very happy birthday:
- The singer chose the last name Richard in tribute to his musical hero Little Richard.
- The pop star was born in India and spent the first eight years of his life in the country.
- Richard is the only singer to have scored a number one single in the U.K. in five consecutive decades: the 1950s through to the 1990s.
- He enjoyed a successful movie career - appearing in more than 10 films.
- Richard remains the biggest-selling singles artist of all time in the U.K., with total sales of over 27 million.
- An apartment block in the English town of Cheshunt, Cliff Richard Court, was named in honor of the singer, who lived in the area for many years as he was growing up.
- Richard is a lifelong bachelor - he has never married.
- The hitmaker was embroiled in controversy in 1999 when many British radio stations refused to play his religious track "Millennium Prayer". The charity single went on to spend three weeks at the top of the U.K. singles chart and became the third highest-selling single of Richard's career.
- Richard was knighted by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II in 1995 - he received the honor before Paul McCartney, Elton John, Mick Jagger and Tom Jones.

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield calls for global cooperation with China
Toronto: Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield is calling for cooperation with China in space and wants it to be part of any international effort to return to the moon.
"I think right now a lot of people see it as kind of crazy to cooperate with the Chinese, but I think it`s the next logical step, " a newspaper reported citing Hadfield as saying in a recent interview with the Canadian Press.
Hadfield said a logical progression would be to include as many countries as possible in an international mission beyond Earth -- "hopefully including China and India and the other countries that have launch capability and then progress to the next stepping stone, the next natural waypoint out to space, which is the moon."
China sent its first astronaut into space in 2003. Hadfield said China`s ambitious space programme aims to eventually put an astronaut on the moon.
Hadfield also cited the fact that China launched in 2011 an experimental space station, saying it will be replaced with a more permanent one to be completed in 2020.
However, China was barred from participating in the current orbiting space station, largely because of US objections over political differences.
Hadfield, who became a Canadian astronaut in 1992, visited Mir in November 1995 on the US Space Shuttle Atlantis, becoming the only Canadian to ever board the Russian space station.
"If you predicted in 1989 that I would fly on an American shuttle to go build a Russian spaceship, people would have said you were crazy," said Hadfield, who last March became the first Canadian to command the International Space Station.
"So I think looking forward, there`s a great opportunity to include the Chinese in the world space programme -- the international space programme," Hadfield added.
Hadfield drew worldwide attention with his dramatic photos of the Earth, his tweets and his Space Oddity video during his space station visit which began when he blasted off in December 2012. He retired after returning to Earth in mid-May 2013 and is now an adjunct professor with the University of Waterloo in Ontario.

OCEAN CITY, N.J. (CBS) – With Labor Day approaching, folks down the shore are getting ready to say goodbye to summer.
Many tell KYW Newsradio they get emotional this time of year:
"Yeah, I get sad."
"Because all our grandchildren go home."
"Going back to work and responsibility."
"Sorry to see summer end."
After all, as many agree, it's been a fantastic summer:
"Ah, it's been spectacular!"
"August has felt like September, it's been just beautiful. We've had great, sunny days."
"This has been the best summer weather-wise I think that we've had."
Labor Day Events At The Jersey Shore
For business owners, the weather has been unbeatable:
"We've seen a lot of foot traffic. We were much more busy this year than last year," says Holly Kisby, general manager of Shriver's Taffy and Fudge in Ocean City. "I think this year we had a lot of great weather. I can't remember a lot of rainy days."
Kisby says the best part of summer for her is just seeing all the people:
"The beaches are crowded, the boardwalk is crowded, I think that was one of the best things."
Joseph DelSordo, owner of Del's Oceanside Grill says the summer of 2014 has been great for business:
"Business seemed to be a bit better than the last couple of years. I find that probably we've had some of the most spectacular weather I've ever seen."
But he says there's still about another month before he closes the books:
"That could really make or break what the season's like, since September has become such an integral part of our quote unquote season so what I'm saying is, has it been a good season? Yes, but September's what's going to make it a real good season."
Nevertheless, it looks like DelSordo will end the season in the black:
"Right now, I'm right on the edge of being a small percentage better (than last year) by maybe 5-percent," he says. "I'd like to see it higher, but it's better than being 5-percent below."
James Dougherty, assistant manager at Kohr Brothers Custard agrees that this has been one of the best seasons yet for business:
"Yes, it's been great. There haven't been too many rain-outs."
And he, too, says business was much better this year than last.

I must be losing my mind as I (who hates to drive) am acually considering driving from Toronto to Halifax some time in the Fall. I looked @ Mapquest & it seems fine except that around Quebec it looks a bit confusing. Can anybody help me out here? I wld not want to drive more than 5 hours a day. So, how long will it take for me to get there?(3-4 days??) I will also have my cat w/ me. We were going to fly but I heard this evening that Air Canada now will not allow cats on board so I wld have to stow my cat w/ the luggage. That will not work! He would be terrified...he is almost 13 years old. While he is accustomed to 4 hour car trips, there is no way that he wld be able to survive a trip stowed away with luggage. So, that is why I am thinking of driving. So, what should I do? Is the part around Quebec as confusong as it looks on Mapqquest. Can you give me a less intricate way to get there?

Driving from Toronto to Halifax: How long does it take? Am I crazy to try this??
Report Abuse
The fastest way is to drive through the US. It's almost all freeway, and is about 2,000km. So, about 20 hours of actual driving. If you don't want to drive more than 5 hours a day, it'll take you 4 days.
The route is this:
QEW to Niagara Falls. Take 405 to the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge to cross into the US.
You'll be on I-190. Then take I-290 to I-90/New York Thruway. Stay on it past Albany (which will change its sign from I-90 to I-87), then follow the sign for Boston onto I-90/Masspike.
Take I-90/Masspike to I-495. Go north, and I-495 ends at I-95. Go north through New Hampshire into Maine. I-95 becomes the Maine Turnpike. Follow the Maine Turnpike (which will then be signed as I-495 after Portland), then then back to become I-95.
Get off I-95 at Bangor, Maine, and take I-395 east. I-395 ends at Highway 1A. Continue a few miles to Highway 46. Go north a few miles to Highway 9. Go east on Highway 9 for about 100 miles to Calais. Cross back into Canada at St. Stephen, NB.
Follow Highway 1 all the way to before Moncton. It merges onto Trans-Canada (Highway 2). It continues to become Trans-Canada 104 in Nova Scotia. At Truro take 102 to Halifax.
With a good map, it's easier than it seems.
You can spend the first night before Albany, NY (for example at Amsterdam, NY - there are motels right off the Thruway). Second night Lewiston or Augusta, ME. Third night Saint John, NB.

NO! Take the Canadian route. The simple drive between Quebec city and Riviere Du Loup is stunning and not to be missed. I have done this trip over 25 times in my life and there are walking paths along the St. Lawrence where yu can get out and stretch your legs. Quebec City is simple to navigate as well.

First night Quebec City _I recommend Chateau Des Tourelles (excellent accomodationat great low price) Second night Riviere Du Loup. Third night Fredericton, (downtown) and next night Halifax (Irecommend the Haliburton Hotel (B&B DOWNTOWN)

I don't blame you for driving. I would never consider stowing my little dog with the luggage. She's 12 years old and would be terrified.
The only advice I can give you if you don't really like driving, is to try and make the trip as interesting and fun as you can.
YOu can't really stop a lot at touristy spots because you wouldn't be able to just leave her in the car.. But try to enjoy the scenery, which may mean taking a bit more scenic route part of the way.
Take your favourite CD's to listen too, take your favourite snacks ...even sign out loud to the music... enjoy.
Don't think of the drive as a chore to get to your vacation. Think of your vacation as starting as soon as you leave Toronto. Make the 'getting there' an enjoyable part of the trip.
Although rkkwan has given you the fastest route, I'd be more inclined to go a bit slower and stick to a road that isn't quite as busy as I90 and I 95.
I'd take the 401 to Quebec and continue on Highway 20 to Riviere-du-Loup and then joint the Trans Canada southward. Somhow I feel more comfortable in Canada, ..it just feels like I'm 'home' and perhaps you'd feel better.
Good luck, and enjoy your trip.

I have driven my cat long distance. Stick to the interstates, make the actual driving time as short as possible. The cat does not appreciate the "scenic routes".
Report Abuse
How bored do you want to be?
You can see some of the most beautiful scenery in Canada, or fileds beside super highways.
And five hours per day is too low. Add anhour and you may be OK.
And do you want to come back?
Make your trip a circle.
Toronto to Watertown, New York.
Watertown to Portland.
Portland to Bar Harbor.
Bar harbor to Moncton.
Moncton to Halifax.
Halifax to Fredericton.
Fredericton toQuebce City (easy enough if you don't go into QC)
QC to Kingston.
Kingston to home.
Aboput five hours a day, plus some sightseeing.

Thank you everybody for the suggestions. Doesn't seem so crazy after all! Thanks again!

We travelled across the country with our cat when we moved from Toronto to Victoria last September. She certainly didn't appreciate the scenery, but she survived the trip nicely. We tried not to drive more than 6 to 7 hours in any one day, and we also booked ahead at pet-friendly motels.
We had the cat in a big crate in the back of the car - it's actually intended for a large dog, but I was able to put her litterbox and food and water in there with her, and she had room to move around. When we settled down for the night we would bring the crate into the motel room and then let her out - that was safer than trying to transfer her into her carrier with the car door open. After the first few days she really looked forward to exploring new motel rooms - she liked Best Western most of all.

Meesthare: Thank you for the idea about the big crate! This just might work!

PPerry RileyLB WAS (9) 5 hours ago
Even if he is healthy, Riley (foot) won't necessarily work with the first-team defense at the start of training camp, Tarik El-Bashir of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Riley missed the final six games of last season, opening up a starting spot for Mason Foster alongside Will Compton. The Redskins went with that same duo during the offseason program, with Riley unavailable while rehabbing from November surgery. Riley is expected to be healthy for the start of camp, but while previously reports suggested he'd likely slot in as a starter, it now seems he'll have to compete with Compton and/or Foster. Entering the final season of a three-year, $12 million deal, Riley may find his roster spot in jeopardy if he doesn't win a starting job, as the Redskins can save approximately $4 million by releasing him.
Darius PhilonDL SD (11) 8 hours ago
Philon operated as San Diego's starting defensive end while Joey Bosa sat out offseason activities over a contract dispute, per ESPN.com.
EDGE Analysis
The Chargers' sixth-round selection in 2015, Philon had been granted draft eligibility as an underclassmen, entering the league as a redshirt sophomore. He was appropriately deemed a very raw prospect, but after just one campaign in the pros, Philon has seemed to have worked himself into San Diego's rotation on the defensive line. Even with the addition of first-rounder Joey Bosa, Philon appears set to see an uptick in snaps during the upcoming 2016 season.
Roddy WhiteWR ATL (11) 9 hours ago
White professed he will only sign with a Super Bowl contender, per The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
EDGE Analysis
White claims several teams have reached out to him since his dismissal from Atlanta, but he will only sign with a team he believes can contend for a championship. Or else, he'll retire. The wide out patiently vowed: "I'll let it go into the season, maybe Week 4 of 5. If it doesn't happen, I'll be putting my cleats on a power line, just like Marshawn Lynch." White then detailed that his list of qualifying suitors only stretches as far as "maybe six teams", but failed to mention any organization in specific. However, at 34 years of age, it's fair to wonder whether White has anything left in the tank. He didn't appear completely gassed in his final campaign as a Falcon, but, comparatively, Andre Johnson (also 34 years old) logged 85 catches for 936 yards during his last hurrah in Houston before latching on with Indianapolis for a season that proved to be a forgettable stint in Johnson's illustrious career.
QSammy WatkinsWR BUF (10) 12 hours ago
Though Watkins -- who is bouncing back from offseason foot surgery -- retains optimism that he will be able to practice during training camp, the wideout hints that such an outcome is not a lock, ESPN.com reports. "You never know," Watkins noted when asked if the Bills would allow him to practice early on in training camp. "Right now I feel good, but I got to go back and train and rehab. Hopefully it feels good when I run and everything like that. I haven't ran in three or four weeks. Hopefully I'll feel good about it and I'll be on the field in training camp."
EDGE Analysis
Meanwhile, coach Rex Ryan said earlier this month that it was "too early to tell" when Watkins might return to the field, but at this stage Ryan believes that the wideout "is going to get some work [in camp]." Regardless of when Watkins is able to take the field, however, the expectation remains that he'll be ready for action in advance of the regular season, barring any setbacks.
Calvin JohnsonWR DET (10) 14 hours ago
Johnson reiterated Saturday that he plans to remain retired as an NFL player, NFL.com reports. "No. I'm not coming back," noted Johnson, who announced his plans to call it a career after the 2015 season.
EDGE Analysis
Obviously no one player can replace a talent like Johnson, and with that in mind the Lions approach training camp with a wideout corps headed by Golden Tate and free agent acquisition Marvin Jones, with T.J. Jones and Jeremy Kerley likely jostling for the team's No. 3 wideout role. In his final season with the Lions, Johnson -- who turns 31 in September -- caught 88 passes for 1,214 yard and nine TDs.
Tarvaris JacksonQB SEA (5) 14 hours ago
Jackson was arrested Friday on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, stemming from a reported argument with a woman, NFL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jackson was subsequently released from Osceola (Florida) County Jail after posting $2,500 bond. The 33-year-old QB, who served as Russell Wilson's backup in Seattle over the past three seasons, remains a free agent, with Trevone Boykin and Jake Heaps currently rounding out the Seahawks' signal-caller depth chart behind Wilson.
IRKyle WilsonDB NO (5) 14 hours ago
The Saints have placed Wilson (undisclosed) on IR, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his first season with the Saints, Wilson recorded 27 tackles and a pick in 15 games (including four starts) in 2015. While the 2010 first-rounder isn't much of an IPD factor, his injury does represent a hit to the Saints' depth at cornerback. Replacing Wilson on the team's active roster will be defensive tackle C.J. Wilson, who signed with New Orleans on Friday.
Will FullerWR HOU (9) 1 day ago
Fuller has agreed to terms with Houston on his rookie contract, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fuller becomes the final Texans' draft pick to sign with the team. He's expected to be the starting wideout opposite DeAndre Hopkins and Houston's top deep threat.
Phil Loadholt MIN (6) 2 days ago
Loadholt (achilles) split first team reps in OTAs and minicamps, Andrew Krammer of ESPN Twin Cities reports.
EDGE Analysis
Loadholt has ended up on injured reserve each of the past two seasons, most recently due to tearing his achilles during the preseason last year. Now entering his eighth NFL campaign, Loadholt's spot in the starting lineup is no guarantee. He and Andre Smith, who the team signed in the offseason, have split reps to this point and will compete for the starting position throughout training camp.
QShaun SuishamK PIT (8) 3 days ago
Suisham was released by the Steelers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Steelers revealed that Suisham suffered a setback in his recovery from knee surgery and will be sidelined a while longer, which prompted them to give him his release and free up a roster spot. With Suisham no longer on the roster, Chris Boswell is the clear favorite to open the season as the Steelers' kicker.
