American Chemical Society
A new American Chemical Society (ACS) video provides a behind-the-scenes-look at the DayGlo Color Corp. factory, producer of the fluorescent paints that light up traffic cones, black light posters, hula-hoops and other products. The video, the latest episode of the award-winning Bytesize Science series from the world's largest scientific society, is at www.BytesizeScience.com.
Inside DayGlo opens with a brief history of the company, which has been designated as an ACS National Historic Chemical Landmark, and continues with an in-depth look inside its main production facility in Cleveland, Ohio. From huge, colorful vats of liquid plastic to microscopic particles of pigment, the video reveals the fascinating processes involved in making fluorescent paints.
Unlike traditional colors, fluorescent colors have a unique property: They absorb both visible and invisible forms of light like ultraviolet, producing intense colors that appear to glow, even in daylight. These eye-catching, vibrant colors have worked their way into product packaging, safety equipment, toys and countless other commercial products.

Gay marriage supporters look to next session
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) ? With a vote to legalize same-sex marriage in Illinois looking less likely to happen in the next few days, supporters of marriage equality are looking ahead to the following legislative session as their next best hope.
A Senate committee voted 8-5 late Thursday in favor of a bill that would allow gay marriage. But with key supporters absent, Senate Democrats delayed a full floor vote. The Senate then canceled its Friday schedule, and President John Cullerton said lawmakers are unlikely to return to Springfield before the session ends Jan. 9. New lawmakers will be sworn in that day.
Sen. Heather Steans, the bill's sponsor, said it was a matter of "when, not if" the measure will pass. She said people across Illinois and state lawmakers are changing their minds every day and supporting gay marriage.
"This is never going to be an easy one, but it's only going to get easier," Steans said.
Cullerton said it might be weeks before the bill gets a full Senate vote. His spokeswoman conceded that "the bill needs work," and even Steans suggested working with recalcitrant Republicans to get a bipartisan agreement.
"What's important when we reconvene is that we work to protect and strengthen all Illinois families, and that's what this legislation does," Cullerton said in a statement released by a coalition of supporters.
Hopes were high for a productive end to the 97th General Assembly, with legislation not only on gay marriage but on assault-weapons restrictions and a solution to the $96 billion hole in state retirement-benefit accounts.
Gun curbs advanced, and a pension fix has been proposed in the House, which isn't scheduled to return to Springfield until Sunday, giving Gov. Pat Quinn reason to stay optimistic that his top priority will still get attention.
Democrats hold a 35-24 majority in the Senate, but party members outside Chicago don't always toe the line. Not all are on board with extending marriage rights to same-sex couples, and some key supporters did not attend Thursday's session.
Hoping to ride momentum from the November elections and public encouragement from President Barack Obama, backers were jolted by the postponement.
A gay actor who stars in a popular TV comedy campaigned for the measure in Illinois while religious leaders ? including 1,700 clergy, from Catholic to Muslim ? united in writing to exhort lawmakers to oppose it.
Ralph Rivera, a lobbyist for the Illinois Family Institute, told lawmakers the bill was "an attack on our particular religious beliefs" and that it would force churches and other religious institutions to allow their facilities to be used for same-sex marriages.
Steans said that wouldn't be the case, and that she planned to work with Republicans to address some of those concerns.
Supporters said they pressed the matter in the waning days of the General Assembly's session to take advantage of soaring support in the state and nationally. And lame-duck lawmakers theoretically have more freedom to vote without fear of voter backlash.
Even though Democrats will claim a 40-19 advantage in the new session, newcomers will bring more diverse views in a state where southern Illinoisans live closer to Birmingham, Ala., than to Chicago.
The plan comes just 18 months after Illinois recognized civil unions.
If Illinois approves gay marriage, it would become the 10th state in the nation to do so.

Women's history pioneer Gerda Lerner dies at 92
MILWAUKEE (AP) ? Gerda Lerner, a pioneer in the field of women's history and a founding member of the National Organization for Woman, has died in Wisconsin, her son said Thursday. She was 92.
Lerner, credited with founding the nation's first graduate program in women's history, died peacefully Wednesday evening of apparent old age at an assisted-living facility in Madison, Dan Lerner told The Associated Press.
"She was always a very strong-willed and opinionated woman," he recalled. "I think those are the hallmarks of great people, people that have strong points of view and firmly held convictions."
She was born into a privileged Jewish family in Vienna, Austria, in 1920. When the Nazis rose to power, she was imprisoned and spent her 18th birthday behind bars, in a cell with two other young women who had been arrested for political work. Jailers restricted rations for Jews, but the gentile women shared their food with her.
"They taught me how to survive," Lerner wrote in "Fireweed: a Political Autobiography." ''Everything I needed to get through the rest of my life I learned in jail in those six weeks."
She said the experience taught her how society can manipulate people. It was a lesson she saw reinforced in American academia by history professors who taught as though the only figures worth studying were men.
"When I was faced with noticing that half the population has no history, and I was told that that's normal, I was able to resist the pressure" to accept that conclusion, she told the Wisconsin Academic Review in 2002.
She became impassioned about the issue of gender equality. As a professor at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, N.Y., she founded a women's studies program ? including the first graduate program in women's history in the U.S.
She later moved to Madison, where she helped establish a doctoral program in women's history at the University of Wisconsin.
Her daughter, Stephanie Lerner, said her mother earned a reputation as a no-nonsense professor who held her students to rigorous standards that some may not have appreciated at the time. One former student wrote to Gerda Lerner 30 years later saying no one had been more influential in her life.
"She said, 'I thought you were impossible, difficult, not understanding, but you gave me a model of commitment that I've never had before,'" Stephanie Lerner recalled. "That's just how she was."
Even as Gerda Lerner held others to high standards, she took no shortcuts herself. For example, Stephanie Lerner said her mother loved hiking in the mountains, even as she got older and her mobility was challenged.
Stephanie Lerner recalled one particular hike with her mother about 30 years ago on a steamy California day. Stephanie Lerner brought a light day-pack, but Gerda Lerner toted a hefty 50-pound sack because she wanted to train for future hikes.
"I was much younger and very in shape. But at a certain point I said I couldn't do it anymore," Stephanie Lerner said. "She just went on ahead. That was her joy, her determination."
Gerda Lerner wrote several textbooks on women's history, including "The Creation of Patriarchy" and "The Creation of Feminist Consciousness." She also edited "Black Women in White America," one of the first books to document the struggles and contributions of black women in American history.
She married Carl Lerner, a respected film editor, in 1941. They lived in Hollywood for a few years before returning to New York.
The couple were involved in activism that ranged from attempting to unionize the film industry to working in the civil rights movement.
When asked how she developed such a strong sense of justice and fairness, she told the Wisconsin Academy Review that the feeling started in childhood. She recalled watching her mother drop items on the floor and walk away, leaving servants to clean up her mess.
"I wanted the world to be a just and fair place, and it obviously wasn't ? and that disturbed me right from the beginning," she said.
She became determined to fight for equality, and she encouraged others to take up their own fights against inequality. She said people who want to change the world don't need to be part of a large organized group ? they just have to find a cause they believe in and never stop fighting for it.
She credited that philosophy for helping her remain happy despite the horrors she lived through as a young woman.
"I am happy because I found the balance between adjusting, or surviving what I was put through, and acting for what I believed in," she said in 2002. "That's the key."

If you do a hobby versus raising your credit card bill, you won't have to stress over those bills and will have less clutter at home to clean. Exercise even if you are at your ideal weight. There are many different reasons to exercise. When you exercise, your body makes a variety of chemicals that assist in relaxing you. Seek out new challenges. This can create new possibilities in your life. You will see, do and explore more things than you ever thought possible. You may even start a new model by doing something that has never been done before. Rather than following in other people's footsteps, try doing your own thing and forging your own path. Do you drink a lot? Are nicotine or other destructive habits something that harms you? The body is a source of great wonder and is vital to our life, as such respect is what it deserves. You can improve your life by replacing bad habits with good ones. Look at your life, what you are doing that may be harmful, and work on omitting things that need to be removed from your life.

Your mind is less cloudy, and you can even gain more free time and cut down on expenses because you won't need to visit the doctor as frequently. Make adopting healthier habits a goal.
Create a personal development plan by determining what your personal values are. If you go against your values, you are shooting yourself in the foot. Instead of this, you should focus your energy on the things that you want to develop that also go along with your own values. This allows you to implement personal and professional changes that will last forever. Are you having a hard time meeting that special someone? Perhaps you should try the Internet. Up to 40% of couples meet over the Internet nowadays. It is possible that certain someone is looking for you. Both sites have their strengths and weaknesses. Try to read encouraging books. Some people may look to a religious text, while others might look for inspiring quotes. You may need help staying on top of life and keeping your mind clear, and a trusted book whose words have meaning to you is a great resource to fall back on. Do you frequently consume alcohol? Do you do other harmful things like smoke cigarettes? Your body should be treated with the utmost respect. Eradicating negative behaviors is key to leading a better lifestyle. Take a hard look at your daily life and find things that could benefit from a positive restructuring.
Personal development starts with leadership. Leadership has many definitions, but many people think of it as "influence." Consider your leadership background. What are the specific incidences that made the biggest influence in your life? How did the events that took place have an effect on you? Evaluate attributes that you possess which contribute to your role as a team player. It is through these questions that you can best determine your role in a team environment. Usually what brings your happy mood down is stress. When stress happens in our minds, it also has detrimental affects on our physical health. To retain clarity of mind and the motivation to work towards our goals, it is critical to banish unnecessary stress from our minds. Each day, take time to quiet your mind and relax. Taking the time to renew your center will help you to find peace within yourself. Understand that there is a divide between where you are and where you wish to go. You need to acknowledge this so you can take your very first step. If you can't figure out what the difference is, chances are you won't find success in reaching your goals. Begin your self improvement with a look at your leadership qualities. When thinking about leadership, think about it in terms of your level of influence on the world around you. Reflect back on your leadership experiences. Are there events that have had major impacts on your life? How have those events changed you? What is the key element that makes you behave as a team player? By carefully evaluating these questions, you can increase your awareness of your ability to function well in a team setting.
Are you an alcohol abuser? Do you make a habit of smoking or engaging in other harmful vices? Our bodies are important to maintain, and should be treated with care. If you want to start improving your life, you have to stop engaging in harmful activities. Consider all of your habits and opt to omit habits from your life that can be described as harmful.
Choose one aspect that you want to improve and put your effort into that. Perhaps there are several areas you want to improve, but focus on just one at a time. Since new habits are most effective when introduced slowly, you are also more likely to having your changes stick around for the long term. Always aim to keep self-discipline a priority as you work on bettering yourself. Make sure that you develop self control skills. Conquer desires of the flesh, such as, overeating, lust, greed and drunkenness. If you can cut out the negative aspects of your personality you'll find your entire being becomes healthier and happier. Anytime and anywhere, be ready for when your ideas strike. Carry paper with you everywhere. Making quick notes about the inspiration as it strikes you will jog your memory and add to the potential that you will later incorporate into a thoughtful creative process.
Find texts and phrases that sooth and encourage you. Some people see it spiritually, whereas others just find it inspirationally. Keeping something on hand that you can revisit when necessary is a great way to improve your mindset, and navigate such situations more effectively.
Be the best you can be at what you are doing! Use your passions to fuel your journey of personal fulfillment. Now, you cannot be the complete best at everything you do, but it does not hurt to try. Trying for greatness helps inspire others to adapt to the same mindset, giving them a boost of self-worth. Do work you enjoy, complete it the best you can, and your self-esteem will grow stronger. Find a variety of ways to keep yourself motivated to improve your life. The work is hard, but the advice to get started can make the work fun.
