Recyclable superplastics made with old chemistry
Two materials — one strong, the other self-healing — are the first easily recycled high-performance polymers
With an accidental tweak to a classic chemical reaction, scientists have created the first easily recyclable forms of mighty plastics. The discovery provides the potential to lower costs and reduce waste of everyday products, researchers say.
The two new nitrogen-containing materials, a superstrong plastic and a squishy, self-healing gel represent new types of thermosets, which are heat resistant and highly stable polymers. Thermosets are widely used, from automobiles and aerospace equipment to electronic devices, and are difficult if not impossible to recycle. But unlike other thermosets, the new polymers easily break down into their original components, ready to reassemble into something new.
Recycling these plastics is simple, says polymer chemist Jeannette García of IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, Calif. The process involves a splash of a liquid at a specific pH, she says. "This is a completely different paradigm for recycling."

Author Notes: My mama was a good cook -- not a great cook, but a perfectly adequate one -- until she crossed into the realm of pastries, sweets and baking. And then she was phenomenal. She was known for her cakes and pies, her cookies and candies (chocolate cherry cordials, popcorn balls), and her party fare of petit fours, candied fruit, lemon tarts. But all of them....well, maybe except for the blackberry cobbler and the chess pie...pale beside the potato doughnuts. She'd start them on a Friday night, and finish them on Saturday morning, when the aroma would wake me and I'd float back to the kitchen in the wake of my nose to find a plate of hot, freshly glazed doughnut holes and a tall glass of cold milk. Heaven! She made them with a three-inch biscuit cutter than had an attachment you inserted to cut out the holes, which she'd fry separately and let them get barely crispy on the outside, with the interior lighter than air; the doughnuts were wonderful, but the holes were sublime. After Mama died, I was going through some of her things in the kitchen, and I found the grease-spotted, dog-eared index card with her doughnut recipe, handwriting faded with time. I sat in the middle of the kitchen floor and wept. And then I got up, found the biscuit cutter and the attachment, and made doughnuts. Mama left me many legacies in many ways, but when I think of her in the kitchen, this is what comes to mind. —Kayb
Makes: about 4 dozen doughnuts and holes
cups milk (we used the equivalent of 2 percent)
cup sugar
cup vegetable oil
1 1/2
teaspoons salt
cup mashed potatos
packets yeast
cup warm water
teaspoon lemon flavoring
teaspoon cinnamon
cups all-purpose flour
oil, for frying
1 1/2
boxes confectioner's sugar
cup milk
- Mama's directions from the card, in their entirety, read: "Fry in 3 pounds shortening. Glaze with 1 1/2 boxes powdered sugar." Mama was not much on directions. I've worked out somewhat more detailed instructions, via trial and error.
- Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water (hot from the tap does nicely) and set aside.
- Whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt.
- In another container, whisk together milk, eggs, vegetable oil (reserving a couple of tablespoons), lemon flavoring and mashed potatos. When combined, stir in yeast and water.
- Add flour a cup at a time, stirring until it's well incorporated. Turn out onto a floured board and knead for 5 minutes or so, until smooth and elastic. Place in oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator overnight.
- The next morning, remove dough from fridge and allow to come to room temperature. Roll dough to about 1 inch thick, and cut out doughnuts.
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat a neutral oil (or melted shortening, or a combination of the two) over medium high heat. Oil should be at least four inches deep. Test-fry a scrap of dough when you think it's hot enough; dough should sizzle madly and float within 30 seconds.
- Drop doughnuts gently, one by one, into oil. Don't crowd them. Flip when they are golden on one side and fry until the other side is golden. Drain on a rack placed over a baking sheet to catch the drips, and move to a towel-lined baking sheet once they cool slightly.
- Make the glaze with powdered sugar and enough milk to make it thin enough to cling to the doughnuts in a thin coating -- about a crepe batter consistency -- in a deep, narrow bowl.
- When doughnuts are cool enough to handle, but still nice and warm, dip into glaze and lay onto plates to cool and let glaze harden. I find a piece of wire from a coat hanger, washed well and bent appropriately, works best to douse them and transfer to the plate. It helps, at this stage, to have one person frying and one person glazing.
- When you're through, and exhausted, as you will be, pour yourself a hot cup of coffee (Mama would say black, but I'm a wuss and must have cream), and grab about four doughnuts and head for the back porch to cool off and enjoy.

Paym service to reach 30m people
%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%A mobile payment service with the potential to link up every current account in the country with a phone number will be made available to 30 million people later this month when it goes live.
The new Paym service to enable more people to transfer money just by using mobile phone numbers will be up and running from April 29, the Payments Council confirmed.
Customers of Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Cumberland Building Society, Halifax, HSBC, Lloyds Bank, Santander and TSB can start to register their mobile numbers for the new service from today, while those using Danske Bank can register from April 25.
The first wave of banks and building societies coming on board the scheme means the service will initially be made available to 30 million people.
Consumers need to actively register their mobile number alongside a nominated current account in order to receive money into that account through Paym.
They do not have to register for Paym in order to send money through the service, although their bank or building society does need to be taking part in the scheme in order for them to be able to do this.
By the end of the year, a total of 40 million people will be able to access Paym, when Clydesdale Bank, first direct, Isle of Man Bank, NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland and Yorkshire Bank come on
board. By that point, Paym will be available on more than nine out of 10 current accounts.
Paym, which is pronounced as "pay em", has been described as the first industry-wide collaboration in the UK which could potentially link up every bank account with a mobile number.
The service will allow people to transfer cash payments on their mobile by using the recipient's phone number rather than needing to know their bank account number and sort code. It will be integrated into their existing mobile banking or payment app.
To make a payment, you can either select the contact you wish to pay from your phone or key in their mobile number.
The app will ask you to confirm the name of the recipient and the amount before the money is sent.
Nationwide Building Society has confirmed its intention to join the scheme in early 2015 while Metro Bank and Ulster Bank are also finalising their launch plans.
Research for the Payments Council among more than 2,000 people suggests that people tot up an average of £255.81 each year in informal loans and "IOUs", reaching a total value of £12.6 billion - more than the cost of the 2012 Olympics.
Adrian Kamellard, chief executive of the Payments Council, said: "Our IOU research suggests that every adult in the UK is lending just under £5 per week to someone they know.
"Small sums like this soon add up, so it's great that Paym will give people a new option of quickly and securely paying someone back - whether it's for lunch, a train ticket or just a cup of tea."
Although it is anticipated that many people will use Paym to make small payments, they will be able to transfer at least £250 a day under the scheme if they want to. It will be up to individual banks and building societies where they want to place caps above this amount.
Payments made through the service are made at the same speeds as existing current account, online and mobile payment services.
The growth in mobile payments technology has already made it easier for people to ditch their wallets.
Barclays' Pingit app, which launched just before the 2012 Olympic Games, picked up 2.5 million regular users in just 18 months.
Pingit, which is available to both Barclays and non-Barclays customers, also allows people to make payments using just mobile phone numbers.
Another mobile payments scheme, called Zapp, is set for launch this autumn. Zapp is a subsidiary of payments provider VocaLink, the company behind Link cash machines.
People can find out more about registering for Paym by visiting paym.co.uk or ask their bank or building society.

Dr. Paul Cerpovicz, associate professor of Chemistry at East Georgia State College, has been selected as the recipient of the 2013 Regents' Teaching Excellence Award for faculty in two-year and state colleges. The vote was unanimous among the panel of faculty and administrators on the review committee from across the University System of Georgia to present the award to Dr. Cerpovicz.
Dr. Cerpovicz received his BS in Biology in 1986 from Westfield State College in Massachusetts, and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Kansas State University in 1991. He has been teaching since 1995, and in 2002 joined the faculty at East Georgia State College. Over the years he has primarily taught General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Integrated Science, and Science in Society, as well as mentored students in undergraduate research related to applied chemistry. In addition, Dr. Cerpovicz has been actively involved in community science outreach activities with elementary, middle, and high school students.
Dr. Tim Goodman, vice president for academic affairs at EGSC, commented, "Dr. Cerpovicz' enthusiasm for chemistry, education, and quality instruction is contagious. We see it in his students and in the faculty with whom he interacts. It is apparent on his student evaluations and in his reputation with faculty. Students in his classes talk about how he cares about them and their issues and how he takes time with them. They talk about the experiences they gain from his classes and how those experiences will be valuable later on in their academic career."

A few days ago The Tour Marm tagged me to tell you a few random things about myself, so here we go.
1. Let others know who tagged you. 2. Players start with 8 random facts about themselves. 3. Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts. 4. Players should tag 8 other people and notify them they have been tagged.
The above rules need to be posted.
- In the 30 years since I left my mother's home I've moved 10 times. We also owned a camp when the kids were young. The longest I've stayed in one home was seven years. The shortest was five months. I love decorating and making a place my own but I hate moving.
- When I started bus driving I saw it as a form of community service. We were living in a very small town where they had a hard time recruiting drivers due to the short hours you got to start. My neighbor retired only to be called frequently to sub so she recruited me as her replacement. I never dreamed it would turn into a career that I'd love.
- I love to dress up and rarely get the chance to. I worked briefly at a travel agency and the best thing about the job was being able to wear nice clothes everyday.
- I was still in my 30's when Mike was born. When I'm out with one or more of the grandkids people often assume I'm their mother.
- My favorite color is magenta.
- I love to read. I couldn't pick a favorite author as there are just too many. I've just reread the six Harry Potter books in anticipation of the seventh. Mystery, Sci-fi, Historical, Horror - it doesn't matter as long as the writing is good.
- I have to have a place for everything and everything in it's place. So yesterday John and I cleaned out the garage and the shed so that order has been somewhat restored. I've started working on the office and kids' room. After having two large houses with lots of storage I'm finding this house a challenge.
- I've lived in New York almost all of my life. I never saw Niagara Falls until I was 17 but have returned many times. I didn't get to New York City until I was in my 30's and have only been there twice. I love to travel and see new places but my favorite trips all have been to tropical ocean locales.
Rather than tag anyone specifically I'll just leave this one open to anyone that would like to try it.

When it comes to cigar smoking, cigar cutters are an essential tool. Cigar aficionados know that these are imperative! Cutters are implemented for quick and accurate cuts, which allow for a flawless draw. There are numerous types of cutters to choose from. There are guillotine cutters, V cutters and punchers (aka bullet cutters).
The most popular cutters on the market are guillotine. They come in single blade or double blade options. The blade closes down on the end of the cigar which provides a precise cut and allows for a good draw. The guillotine allows you to control the precise placement of the cut on the cigar and to determine how large you want the actual opening to be.
Punch, Bullet, or Bulls Eye is pushed into the head of the cigar making a hole at the end that you can draw upon. Punchers come in numerous diameter sizes. You have the ability to choose one with the accurate diameter for your stogie. Please keep in mind: these cutters are not recommended for torpedo sized or small ring gauge cigars.
Scissors are another great option. This will result in a cut with the same effect that a guillotine would provide. If you are looking to cut your cigar with a pair of scissors, please remember to use stainless steel scissors only. This will ensure that you avoid ruining your cigar with a bad cut. When using the scissors, carefully keep the blade aligned through the entire cut. Fit, balance, and sharpness play big roles when using scissors.
V-cutters leave a deep V shape cut on the cap of the cigar. This allows for a supremely satisfying and enjoyable smoking experience. A V-cut allows for a larger surface area thereby providing an easy and smooth draw. This specific cutter works best on small ring gauges. When looking for V-cutters make sure to avoid the cheaper options since they do not provide a clean and precise cut. Make sure to sharpen these daily to keep them in the best condition.
There is no clear answer when it comes to what type of cutter you should use. It really is a personal preference! If you enjoy a smaller opening, use a puncher! This would allow you to focus mainly on the flavors in the cigar. If you prefer an easy draw, a large opening would be the best option. Browse our cutter options and find the fit for you.

Hello everybody,
I'm using Superlab Pro 2.0 in order to reproduce the first experiment of this study : http://psychology.uga.edu/sites/defa...ychologica.pdf
For now everything is working (we just didn't use a response box) except two things :
- When we run our experiment on another computer, Superlab doesn't find one of our pictures that we have to manually locate.
- We have to do a feedback for the false alarms but the feedback text either doesn't appear at all or appears all the time even when the subject did not respond...
Can you help me please ? I put the screenshots in the attached files. All my pictures in the experiment are .bmp.
PS: sorry for the language, I'm French..

Endpoint Encryption software encrypts all data on the hard drive making it unreadable until unlocked using a username and password. The data is open while the user is logged in, but after logging off the data is encrypted again. During the last decade as laptops became more prevalent on campus it quickly became apparent that data could be at risk. To protect Indiana State University and the individual that had possession of the laptop Endpoint Encryption is applied to all laptops in the University.
1. What are the benefits of encryption?
A - If your laptop is lost or stolen data cannot be accessed without the correct username and password.
2. Will the encryption process slow down my computer?
A - No, computing performance will remain the same. McAfee Endpoint Encryption was benchmarked with Lenovo and Dell, and does not increase startup times.
3. I have changed my ISU portal password and now I cannot log into the
Endpoint screen.
A - It will take up to two hours for the Portal password to synchronize to Endpoint. If your new password does not work try using your previous password.
4. I forgot my password and can't login to my computer.
A - View the Password Self Recovery instructions here. If the Self Recovery does not work or you can't remember your recovery questions contact the OIT Technology Support Center at 812-237-2910 and they can assist you in resetting your Endpoint password over the telephone (access to the laptop is required).
5. I have changed my Endpoint password but it keeps changing to something different.
A - Do not change your Endpoint password. When you want to change your password you must change it through the ISU portal. The Endpoint password will synchronize only from the Portal to Endpoint.
6. I changed the DOMAIN settings on my computer and now I can't login.
A - Do not change any DOMAIN settings. Endpoint requires the ISU domain settings to work properly. If you have changed your settings, call the OIT Technology Support Center at 812-237-2910 and a consultant will be sent to fix your domain settings.
7. I attempted to join a WORKGROUP and now I can't login.
A - Joining a WORKGROUP breaks the ISU domain settings which are required for Endpoint to work properly. Removing the workgroup and resetting the domain settings will be necessary. Call the OIT Technology Support Center at 812-237-2910 and a consultant will be sent to fix your settings.
8. I receive an error when logging into Endpoint.
A - Contact the OIT Technology Support Center at 812-237-2910 and a trouble ticket can be created to look into your problem further.

June 30, 2009 – The SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger™ successfully notified emergency rescue authorities of an elderly man with chest pains on the remote Alaska Highway of British Columbia. With no phone service, Gary Sleeper used his SPOT Messenger to alert the Emergency Response Center that he was in an emergency situation and needed assistance.
In May, Mr. Sleeper was driving with his parents from Texas to Anchorage, Alaska, up the Alaska Highway. Knowing he would be out of cell phone coverage for long periods of time, he brought his along his SPOT Messenger.
About 100 miles outside Fort Nelson, Canada, his father told him that he was having chest pains and needed medical assistance. The individual used his SPOT Messenger to send out a 911 message. With an urgent need to get his father medical assistance at the nearest hospital, he started driving back to Fort Nelson.
On June 30, 2008 during a summer backpacking trip in California's Kings Canyon National Park, 52 year old George from Palo Alto, found himself suffering from acute abdominal pains on day ten of the two hundred and twenty three mile hike along the John Muir Wilderness Trail while setting up camp at 7:30 pm. Hours later, at approximately after 11:00 pm, George's pain worsened which led him to end his trek early, and initiate an emergency alert with his SPOT Satellite Messenger.
On September 11, 2009, expert outdoorsman Rick Stephens was airlifted from the Coast Mountain Range of Northern British Columbia after sending his GPS location coordinates using his SPOT Satellite Personal Tracker following a serious accident.
On September 11, 2009, Stephens and his hunting partner Trent Bossence were 7 days into a 12 day hunting trip, 55 miles from the closest town of Dease Lake and four miles from their base camp, when his hunting knife slipped and badly cut his leg just below the knee, severing a tendon.
August 10, 2008 - Group leaders participating in the 'Abbots Way' walk across Dartmoor, Devon have hailed the SPOT Satellite Messenger as an essential piece of kit, after using the device to save two young walkers suffering from exhaustion and hypothermia.
The rescue is among the first documented rescues initiated by SPOT in the UK. The device, which is rapidly growing in popularity within Europe, is the first of its kind, providing lifesaving communications technology from remote locations.

A Conversation with Obama
Barack Obama was seated next to a little girl on an airplane trip back to Washington. He turned to her and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to Obama, "What would you like to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the Obama. "How about what changes I should make to America?" and he smiles.
"OK," she says. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"
Obama, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it for a second and finally says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."
To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to change America when you don't know sh*t?"

Stars React to David Bowie's Death
As befits a musician whose work had influenced generations of artists for four decades, social media is full of reactions to the death of David Bowie, who passed away from cancer at the age of 69. The wide range of celebrities mourning his passing speaks to his influence:
Paul McCartney posted a statement on his website: "Very sad news to wake up to on this raining morning. David was a great star and I treasure the moments we had together. His music played a very strong part in British musical history and I'm proud to think of the huge influence he has had on people all around the world. "I send my deepest sympathies to his family and will always remember the great laughs we had through the years. His star will shine in the sky forever."
Madonna, who accepted Bowie's Rock Hall of Fame award on his behalf, posted a photo of her and Bowie together in their younger days. "So lucky to have met you!!!! Hot Tramp I love you So!" she wrote, quoting a line from Bowie's classic "Rebel Rebel." On Twitter, she wrote, "Talented . Unique. Genius. Game Changer. The Man who Fell to Earth. Your Spirit Lives on Forever!" She added, "Im Devastated! This great Artist changed my life! First concert i ever saw in Detroit! R.IP"
One of Bowie's most memorable tunes was "Under Pressure," a 1982 collaboration with Queen. Two of that band's surviving members offered their own tributes to Bowie. Drummer Roger Taylor called David the "cleverest and most interestingly brilliant man of our time. What a vacuum he leaves, and how he will be missed." Guitarist Brian May added: "David Bowie gone. He was a fearsome talent, and the loss to Music and Culture from his passing is inestimable. In and out of our lives, always challenging and innovative, and … shocking. Sincere condolences to his family. But what a life. All hail, David Bowie, Star Man, Hero. RIP."
The Rolling Stones: "The Rolling Stones are shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the death of our dear friend David Bowie. As well as being a wonderful and kind man, he was an extraordinary artist, and a true original."
Iggy Pop: "David's friendship was the light of my life. I never met such a brilliant person. He was the best there is."
Jimmy Page: "Bowie was an innovator, a unique artist with a vision that changed the face of popular music. He is greatly missed."
Peter Gabriel: "I was shocked to learn of David Bowie's death this morning. He meant so much to me and to so many. He was a one-off, a brilliant outlier, always exploring, challenging and inspiring anyone who wanted to push the boundaries of music, art, fashion and society. There are so few artists who can touch a generation as he did, we will miss him badly. Long Live Lazarus."
Yoko Ono: "John and David respected each other. They were well matched in intellect and talent. As John & I had very few friends, we felt David was as close as family. After John died, David was there for Sean and me. When Sean was in boarding school in Switzerland, David would pick him up and take him on trips to museums and let Sean hang out at his recording studio in Geneva. For Sean this is losing another father figure. It will be hard for him, I know. But we have some sweet memories which will stay with us forever."
Brian Eno: "David's death came as a complete surprise, as did nearly everything else about him. I feel a huge gap now. We knew each other for over 40 years, in a friendship that was always tinged by echoes of [British comedy duo Peter Cook and Dudley Moore]. Over the last few years -- with him living in New York and me in London -- our connection was by email…I received an email from him seven days ago…It was as funny as always, and as surreal, looping through word games and allusions and all the usual stuff we did. It ended with this sentence: [']thank you for our good times, brian. they will never rot['] and it was signed dawn I realise now he was saying goodbye."
Rick Wakeman: "As I'm sure you can imagine I'm gutted hearing of David's passing. He was the biggest influence & encouragement I could ever have wished for."
Longtime Bowie guitarist Earl Slick: "First and foremost, to Iman, Duncan and Lexi my heart goes out to you. To the man that had given me so much over the last 40 years i am beyond words at the moment. good bye David. sleep tight my friend."
Gene Simmons of Kiss: "David Bowie, you will be sorely missed. Bowie's 'Changes' and the Ziggy story songs were a major influence for me."
Billy Corgan: "When a true star blinks out, the sky looks different, and never feels the same."
Bono of U2 posted a lyric from Bowie's "Space Oddity" -- "Planet Earth is blue" -- on Facebook and a photo of himself kissing Bowie on the cheek.
The Rolling Stones: "The Rolling Stones are shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the death of our dear friend David Bowie. As well as being a wonderful and kind man, he was an extraordinary artist, and a true original."
Paul McCartney: "Very sad news to wake up to on this raining morning. David was a great star and I treasure the moments we had together. His music played a very strong part in British musical history, and I'm proud to think of the huge influence he has had on people all around the world. I send my deepest sympathies to his family and will always remember the great laughs we had through the years. His star will shine in the sky forever."
Ringo Starr: "God bless David Bowie. Peace and love to all his family."
Mick Jagger: "David was always an inspiration to me and a true original. He was wonderfully shameless in his work. We had so many good times together… He was my friend. I will never forget him."
Elton John: "I am still in shock. Never saw it coming. My deepest condolences to Iman and the family. An amazing life. An amazing career."
Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins: "When a true star blinks out, the sky looks different, and never feels the same."
Chris Cornell of Soundgarden tweeted, "140 characters will not suffice (nor would 10,000 words) #DavidBowie we love you and we will miss you..." and linked to a YouTube video of him covering Bowie's "Lady Stardust." [http://bit.ly/1Q0zWQz]
Ozzy Osbourne: "I just can't believe it. I am in total shock about David Bowie's passing. It's crazy. Never in a million years did I think that we would lose such an amazing guy so young. I guess I thought he would live forever. I'm at a loss for words right now. Wow."
Slash of Guns N' Roses: "There aren't words enough to express the feeling of loss in this moment. RIP David. You will be missed beyond measure."

Mariah Carey: "David Bowie, we will remember your brilliance. Heartfelt condolences to family, friends and fans around the world."
Gene Simmons: "David Bowie, you will be sorely missed. 'Changes' and the Ziggy story songs were a major influence for me. He will be sorely missed."
Joe Walsh: "David, thanks for showing us all how to do it. Rest in peace."
Brian May of Queen: "I woke up late, after a long night, to shocking news. David Bowie gone. I don't know if I can react immediately. He was a fearsome talent, and the loss to music and culture from his passing is inestimable. In and out of our lives, always challenging and innovative, and…shocking. But this news is hard to take in. I had no idea he was close to death. Would like to have said something… Very sad. Sincere condolences to his family. But what a life. All hail, David Bowie, Star Man, Hero. RIP."
Pharrell Williams: "David Bowie was a true innovator, a true creative. May he rest in peace."

Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine: "David Bowie was a huge influence on me throughout my life. The original star-man returned to the stars... Thank you for everything you brought us. RIP, David Bowie."
Cat Stevens: "He has left us for another world, beyond the darkness of this present one vividly so depicted in the shadows of his last video. I truly pray he's welcomed to the light by his Maker in that great today, which has no tomorrow."
John Oates of Hall and Oates: "With the passing of David Bowie, the world has lost a true artist in every respect: uniquely original, ever expanding and exploring... Daryl and I played with him in 1973 on his first U.S. tour. Off stage he always struck me as warm and engaging. His creativity and musical legacy will live forever."
Longtime Bowie producer and collaborator Tony Visconti: "His death was no different from his life -- a work of art. He made Blackstar for us, his parting gift. I knew for a year this was the way it would be. I wasn't, however, prepared for it. He was an extraordinary man, full of love and life. He will always be with us."
British Prime Minister David Cameron: "Genius is an over-used word, but I think musically, creatively, artistically, David Bowie was a genius. For someone of my age, he provided a lot of the soundtrack of our lives."

Josh Groban: "He never seemed of this earth. Now he's left it. He bent rules, gender, genres, and our minds. RIP David Bowie. One. Of. A. Kind."
"Weird Al" Yankovic: "I feel like the wind has been knocked out of me - I was not ready for this. RIP Bowie."
Chart-topping songwriter Diane Warren: "Oh my God not David Bowie...I don't want to hear about the stupid fashion at the Golden Globes who gives a f**k I want to play David Bowie records. Unreal."
Val Kilmer wrote on Facebook, "The last time I saw David Bowie was in Brooklyn, with some very very lucky people who got to hear Lou Reed play his dark glory, BERLIN, live. He was sitting directly in front of me with Lou's wife, Laurie Anderson...When we said hello he turned and I recognized him instantly. Instead of saying hello, I just started petting his shoulders. I can't describe it any more accurately. He was just so special it was the only way I seemed to be able to express my joy. I haven't petted that many men in my life. I'm so glad I got to do that. And more importantly, that he let me. He just smiled as I apologized for petting him. He seemed to not only understand, but accept the strange offering of gratitude and recognition....we all wanted to be as cool as David. Even Lou. He was always, always the coolest guy in the room. And he was a master singer - song writer. God bless David Bowie."
One of the people from whom we've not yet heard is Bowie's first wife, Angie Bowie, whom he divorced in 1980 after ten years of marriage and one child, son Duncan Jones. Turns out, Angie Bowie, 66, didn't know her ex has died -- she's a contestant on the U.K.'s Big Brother TV show, and as such isn't allowed outside access. Producers Monday morning wrote on the show's website: "Following the very sad news of David Bowie's death, we can now confirm that Angie Bowie has been informed off camera by her representatives. She has taken the decision to continue in the programme. The decision to remain in the House is entirely her choice, and she has been given the option to leave at any time if she changes her mind. Appropriate support will be available to Angie at any time if needed." Chances of that may be slim: Angie Bowie's previously admitted she hasn't seen Bowie since their divorce.
The official Twitter feed of the late Bing Crosby, with whom Bowie duetted on the holiday favorite "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy," acknowledged his death, writing, "Peace on earth…" Remembering David Bowie - Godspeed," and posting the video they did for the song.

The state's top higher education board doesn't support the community college system's solo efforts to get construction funding outside of the traditional budget process.
The state's top higher education board doesn't support the community college system's solo efforts to get construction funding outside of the traditional budget process.
The Board of Regents on Thursday told the head of the Louisiana Community and Technical College System that the proposed legislation he is supporting violates the state constitution.
After the hearing, Community College System President Joe May said he still would recommend that the community and technical colleges continue to pursue passage of the legislation.
The bill would allow LCTCS to skip the state construction budget process that forces hundreds of projects across the state to compete for limited annual funding. Bill sponsor, Sen. Robert Adley, says he'll continue to push the legislation.
The House voted 87-0 to rewrite the state law that requires public schools to have a written crisis management plan, to require local law enforcement to help with designing the plans and requiring annual safety drills to rehearse them.
House Bill 718, by Rep. Bob Hensgens, R-Abbeville, moves to the Senate for discussion. It was prompted by the recent mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Voting for the bill Thursday were Houma-Thibodaux area Reps. Joe Harrison, R-Napoleonville; Lenar Whitney, R-Houma; Truck Gisclair, D-Larose; and Dee Richard, a Thibodaux independent. Gordy Dove, R-Houma, was absent.
A proposal to toughen existing limitations on funeral protests received unanimous approval from the Senate.
Under current law, a person can be charged with disturbing the peace if obstructing a funeral or memorial service. The change would extend that to include the funeral route and set a perimeter banning protesters within 500 feet of the funeral. Senate Bill 72 now heads to a House committee.
All four Houma-Thibodaux area senators were present for the unanimous vote in favor of the measure. They are Norby Chabert, R-Houma; Brett Allain, R-Jeanerette; Troy Brown, D-Napoleonville; and Gary Smith, D-Norco.
An attempt to cover more uninsured people in the state's Medicaid program, as allowed under the federal Affordable Care Act, was rejected Wednesday by a House committee.
After five hours of debate, the House Health and Welfare Committee voted along party lines, 11-8, to defeat the measure and support the stance of Gov. Bobby Jindal. Republicans opposed the Medicaid expansion and Democrats supported it.
Wednesday's vote wasn't expected to be the Louisiana Legislature's final word on the Medicaid expansion, however. The Senate's health committee planned to take a vote on the idea next week, and other similar proposals remain pending before the House panel.
The health care law pushed by President Barack Obama allows the expansion to cover adults making up to 138 percent of the poverty level — less than $32,000 for a family of four. The federal government will pick up most of the cost.
Expansion opponents say it would still be too costly for the state and would expand an inefficient and outdated Medicaid program.
Kathy Kliebert, interim secretary of the Department of Health and Hospitals for the Jindal administration, said the expansion could shift people from private insurance to government-funded health care.
She said federal regulations on the expansion remain sketchy.

CRESTVIEW � City leaders have set one more workshop to finalize Crestview's 2013-14 budget and millage rate before a formal public hearing at 5 p.m. Sept. 10.
CRESTVIEW � City leaders have set one more workshop to finalize Crestview's 2013-14 budget and millage rate before a formal public hearing at 5 p.m. Sept. 10.
City Council members and other officials expressed frustration that the most recent proposed budget, presented during a Wednesday workshop, is just a "Band-Aid� for larger problems.
The latest proposal
Using a 5.8466 millage rate set before the budgeting process began � an increase from the current 5.5966 � department heads had started with a $538,166 deficit.
Savings were found in several areas, including furloughing all city employees for 32 hours during the fiscal year. Other suggested cost-cutting measures are as follows:
�Transferring $288,328 from the sanitation fund to the general fund.
�Firefighters voluntarily giving up $57,180 in incentive pay.
�Projecting an extra $40,000 in fees through the revised permitting fee schedule.
�Removing $33,820 in police and firefighter uniform allowances.
�Sharing the mayor's administrative assistant with the Main Street Crestview Association through a $30,000 reimbursement from the Community Redevelopment Agency.
�Eliminating the police department's $8,000 K-9 division budget.
Funding needed services
In addition to balancing the budget, savings would fund:
�$100,000 toward deferred road paving projects
�$60,000 in needed fire equipment
�$30,000 for the Crestview Public Library to purchase new books and computers
�$16,000 to move the police dispatch center from P.J. Adams Parkway to police headquarters
�$10,000 in computer upgrades
City leaders� reactions
Because the proposed budget includes the increased millage, Councilman Tom Gordon said, "I'm not satisfied. I still think raising taxes is going after low-hanging fruit."
Council President Robyn Helt also expressed her displeasure with the ad valorem rate increase, and the failure to address problems that led to the budget woes.
"As (City Clerk Betsy Roy)so eloquently stated, it is a Band-Aid," Helt said. "The budget before us says we are inefficient and we're not doing our job."
However, Councilman Shannon Hayes contended that taxpayers would accept the .25 percent increase rather than have services curtailed or eliminated.
Ultimately, �this proposal does not fix our inherent problems," Roy said.
Helt agreed, and asked department heads to revise the budget.
Helt�s suggestion to eliminate $277,000 for city employee dependent insurance was omitted from Roy's proposed budget. Helt had said it was unfair to ask taxpayers who couldn't afford insurance for their own families to buy it for city employees' families.
Helt had also suggested eliminating four police positions funded by a soon-expiring grant. However, Police Chief Tony Taylor said the grant�s terms obligate the city to retain the officers for at least a year after it expires.
Though department heads each expressed dissatisfaction with their respective budgets, each said they would accept them, although reductions will affect their operational capabilities.
"I am willing to settle for the budget that is given to us at this time, but I want you to know that if money comes in the future, I will be back here," Library Director Jean Lewis said.
Want to go?
The final Crestview City Council budget workshop is 5 p.m. Sept. 5 at City Hall. The first public hearing on the budget and millage rate is 5 p.m. Sept. 10; votes on the budget and millage are scheduled for 5 p.m. Sept. 24. The new fiscal year begins Oct. 1.

Working Days Calendar
The Working Day Calendar is used to compute the estimated completion date of a contract. To use the calendar, find the start date of the contract, add the working days to the number of the calendar date (a number from 1 to 1000), and subtract 1, find that calculated number in the calendar and that will be the completion date of the contract
A full page version of the Working Day Calendar is available in Adobe PDF format. The Acrobat Viewer, needed to view this document, can be downloaded directly from Adobe's software site. We strongly recommend that you configure your browser be linked directly to the Acrobat Reader, to make viewing of the Working Days Calendar a seamless process.
NOTE!! Section 4 of the Contract Special Provisions, Beginning of Work, Time of Completion and Liquidated Damages refers to Section 8-1.06, Time of Completion, in the Standard Specifications. That section refers to legal holidays, which are defined in Section 1-1.255 of the Standard Specifications as, " those days designated as State holidays in the Government Code". As of 1997, the government code added Cesar Chavez Day, March 31. All of the printed and on line work day calendars are incorrect if they do not designate March 31 as a non-work day.
NOTE!! As of March 1, 2008, the day after Thanksgiving is considered a nonworking day.

Piping Technology and Products in Houston has been cited by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for what the agency said is another instance of the manufacturing company's failing to protect workers.
The federal agency issued its citations against Piping Technology and Products after a worker was struck by a broken die piece on a mechanical press.
The agency has proposed penalties totaling $199,800 for four repeat and three serious violations, according to OSHA.
"Piping Technology and Products has again failed to protect its workers from hazards, and again a worker has been injured on the job," Mark Briggs, OSHA's Houston south area director, said in a news release.
RK Agrawal, spokesman for the company, which manufactures pipe supports, clamps and expansion joints for chemical and oil refineries, issued the following comment when asked for a response:
First and foremost, we (Piping Technology) take the safety and health of each and every member of our team very seriously and we think the facts and our record reflect that.
We just received these citations and are still studying them, but I can tell you we disagree with the conclusions reached by OSHA here. We have worked closely with OSHA in the recent past, including monthly meetings with the Houston area director Mark Briggs. As we have in other cases, we look forward to resolving our differences here.
We are very proud of our history of creating over 700 engineering and manufacturing jobs in Houston. In our 30+ year history, Piping Technology has succeeded by taking a long-term view and safety is and has always been one of our core values. We've never held back when it's come to investing time or money to maintain the safety of our employees.
Piping Technology and Products has about 700 employees.
The repeat violations include failing to guard punch presses and band saws as well as not providing training on energized equipment. Piping Technology and Products was cited for similar violations in 2011, OSHA said.
The serious violations include failing to secure a fuel gas cylinder and failing to provide strain relief for electrical wiring. A serious violation is defined as one that could cause death or serious injury.
The agency inspected Piping Technology and Products twice in 2011 and cited the company for 42 safety and health violations, including failing to guard band saws, shears and press brakes, according to OSHA.
The agency has conducted three other inspections in 2013. It cited the company for failing to provide machine guarding on two separate occasions and provide documentation that the problem was fixed.
The company is contesting all of the 2013 citations but settled the cases stemming from 2011.
The manufacturing company has 15 business days to either comply, request an informal conference with OSHA's Houston south area director or contest the most recent findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

Texas falls in recruiting rankings as A&M rises
AUSTIN - The message, Mack Brown said, remains the same as it ever was. Similarly unchanged, he insisted, is the standard Texas uses to determine which players it pursues.
According to Brown, the only difference in the way the Longhorns recruit today and the way they did for most of the previous decade is a minor alteration in the sales pitch.
"I'm telling them, 'We're about to be really good, and you better jump on,' " Brown said. "The other times, we were really good, and you didn't have to say much about it."
It might be no coincidence, then, that during those "other times" the Longhorns fared significantly better in the national recruiting rankings.
Based upon the 13 players committed to play at UT starting next season, Rivals.com has the Longhorns' class ranked 13th in the country, which would be UT's lowest finish since 2008.
But even four years ago, the Longhorns owned the recruiting scene in their state. When UT's class was rated 14th nationally that year, Texas A&M's was 16th.
Now? The Longhorns might not be playing the Aggies on the field anymore, but all indications are that A&M is giving UT all it can handle in the living rooms of the state's top prospects.
From 2006 to 2012, UT only once signed a class rated lower than No. 5 nationally by Rivals. During that same time, A&M never signed a class rated higher than No. 15.
A coup for Aggies
But thanks in part to the fact that the Aggies just landed a commitment from heralded Sealy wide receiver Ricky Seals-Jones (who first committed to UT), A&M's 2013 class is rated No. 7 by Rivals and No. 6 by ESPN.
And it isn't just that A&M is attracting good players. The concern for the Longhorns is that the Aggies suddenly are stealing players away from them.
In the three recruiting classes from 2009-2011, A&M signed only two prospects (Jake Matthews and Brandon Alexander) who had received offers from UT.
But since Kevin Sumlin became head coach in College Station, the Aggies have proven they don't have to settle for the Longhorns' leftovers.
In the last 12 months, A&M has landed commitments from five players with UT offers (a list including Seals-Jones and Dallas Kimball defensive tackle Justin Manning) and another (Carthage defensive tackle Isaiah Golden) who was invited to the Longhorns' junior day but chose not to attend.
Missing on top QBs
Making matters worse is the widespread knowledge that A&M's Heisman Trophy winner, Johnny Manziel, wanted to attend UT but couldn't get an offer from the Longhorns.
Asked about missing out on Texas-bred quarterbacks like Manziel, Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck, Brown declined to get into specifics on each player's recruitment.
But he said his staff is well aware that UT's struggles at the quarterback position in recent years have coincided with an era in which the state's high schools are producing a wealth of elite passers.
"We do (talk about taking advantage of it)," Brown said. "And hopefully we are."

Conde Nast Rumor Ping-Pong
In your momentous Monday media column: Conde Nast mag closure rumors continue to leak, everybody's selling weed these days, the Amish organize their newspapers in an insane manner, and a "joke," about J-school!
Last week, Keith Kelly said that McKinsey was drawing up a plan that specifically spares all of Conde Nast's titles, even the weakest. Today, Michael Musto says, with no sourcing, "the latest rumor is that they've been advised to fold five titles!" Woo, we have competing leakers here! It's like a game of magazine death tennis! Takeaway: Everybody's still waiting to see what happens.
A senior editor at High Times sez: "the magazine industry is down across the board but High Times is up. That says something. I think there are a lot of people out there growing weed on the side to make money. Weed is recession proof." Laid-off journalists gotta eat. And eat.
More Amish media news(!): Whilst the edgier brethren focus on bonnet porn, did you know that the largest Amish paper is maybe the most boring thing ever?
The national edition of The Budget, now available in print only, is largely composed of submissions from hundreds of volunteer "scribes" from across the country. Typically, a scribe talks about the weather and segues into the goings-on in the local community. Around 500 scribe letters a week take up roughly 50 pages
It's like reading 500 blogs a day! Oh Amish! More porn please!
"Eight things that journalism students should demand from their journalism schools." #1 should be: A refund! SO MANY RIMSHOTS.

The fourth installment of Michigan-Ohio State week takes us all the way back to 1950. Today, even the most casual of fans knows obscure statistics, largely because of the advent of fantasy football. Go on. Admit it. I see you smiling over there. Yes, you, the person checking this story on his smart phone. You're blushing, because you know your stats cold.
Well, cold is exactly how the stats were served at the 1950 game between Michigan and Ohio State. The night before the game, a freak blizzard dumped more than a foot of fresh snow on Ohio Stadium, and volunteers worked through the night to make the field playable for the game. When the decision was made to play the game, the two teams played hot potato with the ball, combining for a record 45 punts, including 24 alone by Michigan's Chuck Ortmann. But Ortmann would be the first to tell you that he couldn't have done it without Carl Kreager.
Who's Carl Kreager, you ask? Well, long snappers have never gotten their due in football, but for this game, Kreager deserved to make the All-America team. In a blinding snowstorm, Kreager delivered 24 perfect long snaps to Ortmann; an impressive feat under ideal conditions. Late in the second quarter, Michigan blocked an Ohio State punt, and Tony Momsen fell on the ball in the end zone for the game's only touchdown. Michigan went on to win, 9-3, without registering one first down for the entire game.

Do you really know the people in your network? Do they have special talents that you may need?
As the video says, we are not looking to just use these people for free help. No, they are people we can build a trust with and will not be scared to send them money to do a job, since we know them.
Sure you can ask them for help occasionally for the simple things, but you still have to respect that they have spent a good bit of time developing and building their knowledge.

TETRIX Samantha Module
From ROBOTC API Guide
TETRIX → TETRIX Samantha Module
Gather the Required Information
| Before you can use your Samantha Module with ROBOTC, you must install the Windows drivers and set the device up for use.
Note: There are many different router configurations, and many different combinations of network type, encryption type, etc. We are using a commonly used network setup (with the router in between the computer and modem, standard encryption, etc). Your particular setup may be different, and may require additional steps to set up properly.
|1. The first thing we will want to do is download and install FTC's Field Control Software package. This can be found on FIRST's site (usfirst.org).
|2. Next, we will need the SSID, encyption type, and password for the network we wish to connect to. For testing purposes, we named our router "SamoTest1" with an encryption type of WPA (TKIP).
|3. You will also need a 4GB or smaller USB flash drive, formatted to FAT32 file format. To format the flash drive, navigate to the Start menu, select Computer, right click on the flash drive's name, then click Format. In the drop down box, select 'FAT32' as the file format, and check the 'Quick Format' box (for a faster format).
|4. Navigate to the Start menu, All Programs, Samantha Field Control System, and start the program called "Samantha Network Config".
|5. Close the program and navigate to your ROBOTC installation folder (default location of C:\Program Files(x86)\Robomatter Inc\ROBOTC Developement Environment). Navigate to the Firmware folder and copy the Samantha.hex file into your flash drive. You should also see a folder named "SMRTNTKY"; this is where the Network Config tool saved the config file for your network.
Flash the Samantha Module
|You must now update the Samantha Module's firmware and install the config file you created using the Network Config tool; otherwise the Samantha Module will not recognize your network.
|1. Unplug the USB flash drive from your computer and (making sure the battery is unplugged) plug it into the Samantha Module. Plug in the battery while holding down the red/black button on top of the module. Release the button approximately 3 seconds after the red light appears on the module.
|2. The Samantha Module will flash the red light twice in rapid succession and then flash the white repeatedly. You may also see the flash drive's LED flickering (if applicable). This means the Samantha Module is installing the firmware. When it's done, it will flash the red, white, and blue lights in sequence, then repeat the process. Be patient; this process normally takes 20-30 seconds and as long as 2-3 minutes. When it is done it should have a solid red light and a blinking white light (meaning it is connected to the network).
Installing and Updating the NXT
|1. Like all other Windows devices, the NXT requires a driver in order to work properly. You can find the NXT drivers here on ROBOTC's website. Download and install it.
|2. Next, download ROBOTC's firmware to the NXT. To do this, connect the NXT to the computer and turn it on. Navigate to the Robot menu in ROBOTC and make sure that "LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT+TETRIX" is chosen as the 'Platform Type' and that 'Physical Robot' is chosen in 'Compiler Target'. Then, click Download Firmware->Standard File to download the ROBOTC firmware to the NXT (this should take anywhere from 10 seconds up to a minute).
|3. Navigate to File->Open Sample Program->NXT->Samantha Module->samostat.c. Compile and download this program onto the NXT brick.
|4. Navigate to Robot->NXT Brick->Communication Link Setup and change the 'Search Selection' drop down menu to "USB, Bluetooth, or Wifi". This will enable ROBOTC to search your network for the NXT once it is connected. Click close to save the changes.
Connecting the NXT and Samantha Module
|1. Keeping the USB-B end connected to the NXT, disconnect the USB flash drive from the Samantha Module and the USB-A connector from the computer. Connect the USB cable to the Samantha Module instead.
|2. Turn on the NXT and th Samantha Module if you have not done so already. The NXT will show that it is connected via USB and the Samantha Module's 'NXT' LED should turn a solid blue (it may flicker from time to time; this means that it is transferring data to the NXT).
|3. If the blue NXT does not light up, press the red/black button on top of the Samantha module.
|4. Run the "samostat" program on the NXT. After a few seconds, it should connect to the wireless network through the Samantha Module and display information such as the SSID, IP address, etc. You can then type in the IP address displayed into a web browser to pull up the Samantha Module's NXT Status Page.

Sleek MakeUP is available in Superdrug and Sephora Portugal stores, and online sleekmakeup.com.
Standard International Delivery within 10 to 15 working days
$10 to $13.50
International destinations are considered as all other countries not listed as European. Please note we do not ship to the African continent.
What makes this such a great find is the awesome price! The Sleek MakeUP Blush by 3 Palettes will cost you less than other blushes (single or palette form)....okay okay I know Elf Blushes are like $1 each but come on cut me some slack here :)
The colors are range from subtle to bright and fun. You can mix these as you please and use different combinations for a unique look. They have good to great color payoff and decent wear time. The only thing I would complain about are the mattes which don't apply or wear the best but alas they are not horrid enough for me to write these off. In fact only a couple of the matte shades had trouble - the bright colors did just fine.
I definitely, HANDS DOWN, recommend giving these a go! For your next Sleek MakeUP order grab a least one of these! Lace is my favorite while Pumpkin is a close runner-up. I would skip out on Sugar unless you have pale skin.
PUMPKIN 363 - All three shades are nicely pigmented and blend gorgeously.
*This palette was received from Sleek MakeUP for consideration : ) This doesn't affect my opinion just saves me some spending money and allows me to introduce more products to you guys! Ironic that the one I received was the one I didn't like. The others I grabbed with my own cash! : )
LACE 367 - Trio of corals and peach shades. One of my faves!

Evolution of venom, binge eating seen in snake DNA
Python and cobra genes evolved quickly to enable hunting strategies
Eric Isselee/Shutterstock
Snake genes are in high evolutionary gear.
Complete genomes of the Burmese python and king cobra reveal that many snake genes have changed more rapidly than those of other vertebrates, researchers report December 2 in two studies in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The two genomes are the first complete sets of snake genes ever assembled.
Snakes evolved some extreme survival strategies. Cobras and pythons represent some of the most out-there examples, says David Pollock, a coauthor of both studies who is an evolutionary biologist and genomicist at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora.
Burmese pythons (Python molurus bivittatus) are ambush predators that seldom find meals. When they do, they gorge. Adult pythons can swallow an adult pig whole. Within four days of consuming such a feast, the snake's organs expand by at least 35 percent, with some even doubling in size.

Have you ever wondered where the Royal Family stores and maintains their coaches, carriages and state vehicles used for transport and a variety of public appearances? Located in Westminster, a brief walk from Buckingham Palace, is just that place, called the Royal Mews.
It is an operating part of the Royal Household. Additionally, the Royal Mews is a working stables where the care and training takes place of the beautiful horses used to pull the royal coaches and carriages. Within the Royal Mews are a variety of historic horse-drawn vehicles, and several motor cars as well.
Perhaps the most impressive of all on display is the Gold State Coach, used in every coronation since that of George IV which took place in 1821. It was also used in the 2002 Golden Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen.
The present Royal Mews has a history dating back to the early 1800s. It was constructed between 1822 and 1825 in the Buckingham Palace gardens, during the reign of George IV. Prior to its present location, the Royal Mews was at Charing Cross. It was first referred to as the King's Mews as it dated back to the time of Richard II.
Beginning in 1377 the royal hawks were kept there, which helps to explain the use of the word mew, another word for moulting, which the hawks did during confinement. Even though the building was destroyed by a fire in 1534 and stables were built instead, the name "mews" held on.
After acquiring Buckingham House in the early 1760s, George III moved some of his horses and carriages there, leaving the remainder at the King's Mews. George IV later moved the stables to present day Buckingham Palace, hiring architect John Nash to design the building (Nash was already redesigning the palace for the King). Nash built the Mews around an existing riding school that was built during the 1760s.
The Royal Mews has a long and fascinating history. It is a popular stopping point for London visitors, and utilizes a user-friendly self-guided tour. It is not a place to be missed for anyone who has a deep interest in the Royal Family and/or in the history of Great Britain.
