Winston, Jackson Developing Early Chemistry – Buccaneers.com

Posted on by

When Jameis Winston drops back to pass this season, hell almost certainly know where No. 11 is on the field. While he and his new wide receiver, DeSean Jackson, arent familiar enough to read each others mind yet, the pair have succeeded in jumpstarting an on-field relationship that the Buccaneers believe could be instrumental in a push towards the postseason.

WATCH: WEDNESDAY'S OTA HIGHLIGHTS

Yeah, we already have that chemistry down pat now, Winston said during a press conference after the Buccaneers first OTA practice on Tuesday.

Getting on the same page with Jackson has been a priority of Winstons, and it appears just as important to the veteran wide receiver. OTAs are voluntary, and Jackson opted to skip out on the first two weeks of the Redskins workouts a year ago. But he was in the building for Day 1 with his new team.

Its going great, Jackson said of his budding relationship with Winston. Im excited about it. Its still early. We have still been getting some good work in, so Im looking forward to once training camp [starts] and July, August and getting ready for the season. That is what I look forward to.

Although the two hadnt been able to practice together at team facilities, Winston and Jackson have been in touch since Tampa Bay signed Jackson as a free agent. From what hes seen so far, Jackson has been impressed with the Bucs third-year quarterback.

READ: FIVE TAKEAWAYS FROM TUESDAY'S PRACTICE

He has a strong mentality and hes a worker, Jackson said. Hes one of the guys out there, he is a big-time vocal guy. If someone is not doing something right, he is going to get at them. So, as that being your franchise quarterback, that is the first thing you would need in a quarterback. A vocal guy and someone that is not too shy to speak their mind and if you see a guy that is not doing something right, tell them about it. Its not like hes just barking and not showing. Hes out there actually barking and hes working.

Hes one of the first out there. Hes going to be running around from drill to drill. His excitement, his camaraderie with the team, its what you need in a quarterback. I think he has that and thats why this franchise has him as their starting quarterback.

The on-field results appear to echo what each player has said. Jackson ran a handful of deep routes against Vernon Hargreaves on Tuesday and caught a deep touchdown pass during Wednesday's workout. To watch his catch, click the video below.

Ohio to test state drinking-water supply for forever chemical contamination – cleveland.com

Posted on by

COLUMBUS, Ohio State officials will oversee a sweeping survey of the states water supply to test for potentially harmful, man-made chemicals by the end of next year, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWines office announced Monday.

The state EPA will coordinate testing with 1,500 local public water systems that provide water to 90% of Ohioans, while the state health department will work with local health departments on reaching out to the rest of Ohioans who get their water from private sources.

The survey is looking to detect per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a family of 4,000 chemicals which some studies have linked to harmful health effects. If testing reveals PFA contamination, state officials will help local officials formulate a response, according a statewide action plan released Monday.

The announcement comes nearly two months after DeWine called for the plan.

We must fully evaluate the prevalence of PFAS in Ohios drinking water to protect public health and the states natural resources, DeWine said in a Monday statement. This plan is the first step in learning if the chemicals have a widespread presence."

PFAs have been used for decades in stain- and water-resistant fabrics and carpeting, cleaning products, paints, and fire-fighting foams. And in some instances, theyve been federally approved for limited use in cookware, food packaging and processing, according to the FDA.

They have been referred to as forever chemicals since they do not break down easily in the environment or in the human body.

While scientific research into the health effects of PFAS exposure is still developing, some studies have shown risks could include liver damage, thyroid disease, elevated cholesterol, decreased fertility and small decreases in birthweight, among other issues.

Last year, when DeWine was Ohio attorney general, he sued chemical giant DuPont, alleging that a company plant near Parkersburg, West Virginia dumped a PFAS chemical called c8 into the Ohio River since the 1950s despite knowing of the health risks it caused.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has established a health advisory level of 70 parts per trillion for PFAS in drinking water. But earlier this month, DeWine and 14 other governors sent a letter to both the U.S. Senate and House Armed Services Committees calling for more federal action against PFAS contamination in and around military bases.

Some states have already set or are considering setting drinking-water limits far lower than that.

A copy of the states action plan can be viewed here. The state also has set up a website, https://epa.ohio.gov/pfas, with more information about PFAS. The site includes information about health risks, prevalence and options for drinking water home-treatment options.

Peter Pulay

Peter Pulay, professor emeritus of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, was recently named the recipient of the 2017 American Chemical Society Award in Theoretical Chemistry.

The prestigious award is given to one recipient a year, in recognition of their innovative research in theoretical chemistry, that either advances theoretical methodology or contributes to new discoveries about chemical systems.

According to the American Chemical Society, emphasis in the selection process is on work characterized by depth, originality, and scientific significance.

"I can think of no better recipient than Peter," said Wesley Stites, chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. "He is well-deserving of this honor, and is in great company past recipients of this award include multiple Nobel Prize winners as well."

Pulay joined the university in 1982 and retired in 2016. He is among the top 300 most highly cited living chemists in the world, with one of his publications cited 3,905 times and five others each cited more than 1,000 times. His total body of work has been cited more than 27,000 times and he holds the title of "Citation Classic" by the Institution of Scientific Information.

"We are incredibly proud to have him represent our university, college and department," Stites said.

Prior to his retirement, Pulay was a distinguished professor and held the Roger Bost Professorship of Chemistry and Biochemistry.

Pulay is considered by his peers to be one of the top five researchers in his field. He has received numerous honors including the Medal of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Sciences, the Alexander von Humboldt Senior Scientist Award and the Schredinger Medal of the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists.

Early in his career he developed techniques for determining the shape and size of molecules that would permanently change the way scientists study matter.

His approach is now widely used by theoretical chemists around the world, and the Royal Swedish Academy credited this work to being crucial in a 1998 Nobel Prize.

Nick Viall’s Awkwardly Silent When Asked About Lack Of Chemistry With Vanessa – Elite Daily

Posted on by

Its not a great sign for Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi that theyre still fielding questions about, yknow, whether or not they actually have chemistry.

BachelorNation is still recovering from that horrendously awkward After The Final Rose segment where the new couple didnt look exactly smitten with each other.

I mean, come on, Nick and Vanessa, you guys could have at least looked like you dont hate each other?

Eesh.

Anyway, until Rachel Lindsays upcoming season of The Bachelorette, were going to have to deal with months of Nick and Vanessa (Nanessa?) speculation.

And Nick, who is back on our screens on Dancing With The Stars, missed an opportunity to clear things up once and for all during an appearance on Wednesdays The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Ellen, of course, mentioned the infamous interview, saying,

I didnt see the After The Rosebecause I could not commit to four hours of television. I heard that some people thought it was awkward, that yall were awkward together.

So what did Nick do?

Awkwardly, he stayed completely silent.

Instead, he was interrupted by Vanessa who was in the studio audience who responded,

I didnt think so. I think we both went in it wanting to be honest and open about couples, you know, sometimes things can get tough.

But were very committed to each other, we love each other, and thats what were focusing on.

Nick is apparently very focused on DWTS, but may have revealed a little too much to Ellen when asked about his partnership with Petra Murgatroyd, adding,

Most positions that Peta asks me to do are painful physically.

So you cant reassure Bachelor Nation, but you can make some dumb innuendo? Dammit, Nick!

Hes probably just fed up with having to constantly defend his relationship.

Nick previously revealedthey had decided to be honest on the show and wouldnt pretend its been easy.

After all, he was dating 29 other beautiful women when they fell in love, most of whom were recklessly throwing themselves at him.

Poor Nick.

Family matters: Bears feature chemistry, unselfishness – WacoTrib.com – Waco Tribune-Herald

Posted on by

Few people believed in Scott Drews basketball team as November approached.

Baylor didnt get a single vote in the Associated Press or coaches Top 25 preseason polls. Losing an NBA lottery pick in Taurean Prince and one of the nations top rebounders in Rico Gathers, this had all the makings of a rebuilding year.

Instead the Bears have rebuilt all the way to a Sweet 16 matchup against South Carolina at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Madison Square Garden.

Im always a glass half full kind of guy, so Im optimistic that if we do X, Y and Z things will work out, Drew said. But you never know how the chemistry will develop and you never know about injuries. We got dinged up at the end of the year but fortunately they werent season ending injuries, and thats one reason weve been able to reach the success weve had.

Since the Bears were picked fifth in the Big 12 race and werent on the national radar, its been easy for Drew to motivate his squad. The Bears won their first 15 games to attain their first No. 1 ranking in school history on Jan. 9, and finished in a second place tie in the Big 12 with West Virginia and Iowa State.

With NCAA tournament wins over New Mexico State and USC, the Bears have fashioned a 27-7 record.

Coaches use everything for motivation, but its easier to motivate when you dont receive a lot of awards and a lot of attention, Drew said. I definitely thought we had a chance to have a great year. But you never know who is going to step up and perform. Weve definitely been on the best-case scenario side of things.

This will be Drews fourth appearance in the Sweet 16, and the first since 2014. It might also be the third-seeded Bears best shot at reaching the Final Four since theyre the highest remaining seed in the East region that has been whittled down to No. 7 South Carolina, No. 4 Florida and No. 8 Wisconsin.

Drews two previous Elite Eight teams were knocked out by No. 1 seeds and eventual national champions, including Duke in 2010 and Kentucky in 2012. But Drew doesnt pay a lot of attention to seeding because hes seen so many upsets during March Madness.

The Bears were first-round NCAA tournament upset victims the last two years, losing to No. 14 seed Georgia State in 2015 and No. 12 seed Yale in 2016. Those losses have only made Drew more grateful to get back to the Sweet 16.

You appreciate it more after the last two years of getting knocked out quicker, Drew said. You can get spoiled when you win. But the longer youre in this, you understand nothing is promised. Now weve been blessed to stay longer in the tournament, and it makes it more special.

With talent, athleticism and great chemistry, this years team has some similarities to Drews previous three Sweet 16 teams.

The Bears have a certain NBA draft pick in All-America forward Johnathan Motley. The 2010 team featured lottery pick Ekpe Udoh while the 2012 squad produced a school-record three NBA draft picks that year, including Quincy Acy, Quincy Miller and Perry Jones.

Cory Jefferson was drafted from the 2014 squad and Isaiah Austin would have likely been picked if he hadnt been diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome.

The 2010 team featured outstanding guard play in Tweety Carter and LaceDarius Dunn while the 2012 squad featured guards Pierre Jackson and Brady Heslip.

But the biggest difference in this years team might be its depth. The Bears attack opponents in a lot of ways and pull production from numerous players off the bench.

Theyve got a double-double machine in Motley and a 7-0 shot blocking ace in Jo Lual-Acuil. Terry Maston has given the Bears a big lift off the bench by amassing 19 points and nine rebounds in both of Baylors NCAA tournament wins.

After scoring 22 points against Texas Tech on Feb. 13, Maston had scored just two points in Baylors previous six games before the NCAA tournament.

Terry is one of those rhythm guys, Drew said. If he gets in a rhythm, the basket looks really large for him. He also benefited from teams not being that familiar with him. He looked very comfortable out there, he rebounded well and was tremendous on the defensive end.

Theyve got versatile guards in Manu Lecomte, Al Freeman, King McClure and Jake Lindsey. Lecomte made the difference in Baylors 82-78 win over USC by scoring all 12 of his points in the final minutes.

Meanwhile, Freeman came off the bench to score 21 against New Mexico State and McClure buried five 3-pointers to match his career high with 17 points against the Trojans.

I dont know if this is the deepest team weve had but weve had people come off the bench who have stepped forward in different games to allow us to be successful, Drew said. Its a little more challenging from a coaching aspect because you dont have the usual suspects in every game. You have to find out whos hot and whos blending well.

Tying everything together is the teams lone senior, Ish Wainright. He epitomizes the unselfish character of the team by contributing in various ways whether its passing, rebounding, scoring or playing lockdown defense. The rest of the team has taken its cue from Wainrights team-first attitude.

Ish does a great job of having a relationship with everybody on the team, Drew said. They allow him to lead, and they support him. It starts with the fact that Ish is such an unselfish person. They can see hes excited about his teammates success. Its easy to follow someone who cares about you and not about himself.

Getting back to Madison Square Garden is a treat for Drew, who led the Bears to two NIT appearances at the fabled arena. The Bears finished second in the 2009 NIT before winning the 2013 title. Hes glad this years players will get to experience the Garden with a shot at making the Final Four.

Some of our former players who played at Madison Square Garden have shared their experiences with these guys, Drew said. Theyve passed on their thoughts and wisdom to them. I know everyones excited and wants us to continue to have success there.

The Lima News | Team chemistry key for Perry – Lima Ohio

Posted on by

The five Perry seniors sit in front of their respective cubicles preparing for another practice Tuesday afternoon. It will be one of the last times these Commodores will dress as a team.

Even though they seem as calm as though it was the opening practice of the season, there is a different feeling circulating through the air.

These players, who have already etched their name in Perry athletic lore as they face Wellington in the Division IV state semifinals today, smile and joke, but there is also the slight tension of knowing they are preparing for the biggest game of their high school careers.

The five stand as one at this point and say they are ready for the big challenge as a team.

I think there is no particular leader on the team, Jakoby Lane-Harvey said. I think we are all leaders. It could come down to any thing at any time and anyone of us can step up and get the job done.

And even though no one claims to be the de facto head honcho, the personalities of the players began to show who is a more vocal leader and who leads by example.

As on the court Lane-Harvey steps out as Perrys primary weapon and spokesperson.

Even though he is more vocal, Lane-Harvey is more than willing to share the spotlight with his teammates.

It that same sense of attitude that Tabler said made the senior guard a first team, all-state selection this year despite his scoring numbers declining the past two seasons.

I think a prime example is Jakoby Lane-Harvey, Tabler said. I think Jakoby Lane-Harveys average has dipped since his sophomore year and as a sophomore or junior he was not a first-team all-state player, so I think he started to get that if I can share the basketball, get others involved and get my points when I need to get them, but rack up the rebounds and assists that I can get the team where we want to go and get more accolades with team success.

With Lane-Harvey sacrificing points and understanding what it took to win games, the other seniors on the team thrived. Orion Monford became a tremendous scoring threat, leading the team with a 16.4 scoring average, and teammate LaMonte Nichols has become a defensive specialist. Plummie Gardner had the task of being the man of the moment. The quarterback reads where he needs to be on the court and contributes wherever he is needed. Kobe Glover, the big man inside and the most soft spoken, provided the necessary muscle and rebounding underneath the basket.

Tabler has seen the growth of these players since junior high and said he knew if they stuck together and worked hard they would take Perry to new heights.

These kids have been together for a very long time, Tabler said. They mean more they will ever know to this basketball program and done for this school.

Tabler points to the teams accomplishment such a one Northwest Central Conference loss in the last four years, two district titles, a regional title and a winning streak that stands at 20.

Called good ambassadors to the school by their head coach, Tabler said they are top-notch student athletes.

Coming into this year, the Commodores were determined to go one step further than last year after getting stopped in regional finals and they are now focused on the biggest prize.

It took a lot of hard work in the offseason and coming together and getting the job done, Orion Monford said.

But the season did not begin that way. After reeling starting off 4-0, Perry lost three consecutive games and the Commodores found themselves rudderless, and apparently drifting off to the sea of mediocrity.

Led by Tabler and the seniors, Perry got things moving in the right direction and that soon turned into 20-game win streak and a trip to state.

Chemistry, Lane-Harvey said. I think the biggest thing was chemistry. We had a lot of scorers coming out and we didnt know what roles we had so I think the biggest thing that we fixed was our chemistry.

Tabler said this a turning point in the season.

The Shawnee was the wake up call. Van Wert was the second wake up call and I think after that Van Wert game, even though we lost to Wapak, we started to discover we didnt need to score all those points as an individual. That we needed to play better team defense. I think it finally clicked with the kids where they said hey if we want to get where we want to get. We better change something.

With the team coming together, Perry entered the postseason with a renewed purpose and confidence. Prior to the regionals, the death of assistant head coach Herb Lane Jr. tested the teams resolve but its resiliency allows the team to keep moving forward.

It is not hard to keep your focus with a coach like coach Tab, Lane-Harvey said. Every day is something different. We all push ourselves to get better. I think that is why I really think we are such a great team.

All the seniors expressed excitement about heading down to Columbus and playing in the Final Four.

Like my teammates said it is going to be a great feeling but we are also going to have butterflies because we have never been there, Nichols said. The atmosphere is going to great and there are going to be thousands of people watching us.

Tabler, who played at state with Lima Central Catholic in the 1990s, has tried to give the team some advice.

He (Tabler) gives us a few pointers but you really cant explain it in detail because there is so much you cant explain, Lane-Harvey said. He tells us when you get out there to stay focused and come prepared to play. They are going to have runs, we are going to have runs. But stay focused.

Chemistry 101 – What Is Chemistry? – thoughtco.com

Posted on by

What Is Chemistry?

Chemistry is the study of matter and energy and the interactions between them. This is also the definition for physics, by the way. Chemistry and physics are specializations of physical science. Chemistry tends to focus on the properties of substances and the interactions between different types of matter, particularly reactions that involve electrons. Physics tends to focus more on the nuclear part of the atom, as well as the subatomic realm.

Really, they are two sides of the same coin.

The formal definition of chemistry is probably what you want to use if you're asked this question on a test.

Because understanding chemistry helps you to understand the world around you. Cooking is chemistry. Everything you can touch or taste or smell is a chemical. When you study chemistry, you come to understand a bit about how things work. Chemistry isn't secret knowledge, useless to anyone but a scientist. It's the explanation for everyday things, like why laundry detergent works better in hot water or how baking soda works or why not all pain relievers work equally well on a headache. If you know some chemistry, you can make educated choices about everyday products that you use.

You could use chemistry in most fields, but it's commonly seen in the sciences and in medicine. Chemists, physicists, biologists, and engineers study chemistry.

Doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, physical therapists, and veterinarians all take chemistry courses. Science teachers study chemistry. Fire fighters and people who make fireworks learn about chemistry. So do truck drivers, plumbers, artists, hairdressers, chefs... the list is extensive.

Whatever they want.

Some chemists work in a lab, in a research environment, asking questions and testing hypotheses with experiments. Other chemists may work on a computer developing theories or models or predicting reactions. Some chemists do field work. Others contribute advice on chemistry for projects. Some chemists write. Some chemists teach. The career options are extensive.

There are several sources for help. A good starting point is the Science Fair Index on this website. Another excellent resource is your local library. Also, do a search for a topic that interests you using a search engine, such as Google.

Start with the Chemistry 101 Topic Index or list of Questions Chemistry Students Ask. Check out your local library. Ask people about the chemistry involved in their jobs.

Chemistry Club to host ‘Star Wars’ theme demo night – The MidWeek

Posted on by

On March 31 at a university not so far away Chem Wars!

Northern Illinois Universitys Chemistry Club invites the public to its annual Spring Chemistry Demo Night at 6:30 p.m. Friday, March 31, in Cole Hall room 100.

This year, the Chemistry Club will put on Chem Wars, a show that will feature a number of thrilling experiments that could have been used by the big film studios in Hollywood to create the special effects in the science fiction franchises we all love and cherish.

We certainly hope that the Star Wars theme draws lots of people to come to the show, Chemistry Club President Marina Galluzzo said in a news release. However, I am confident that when they leave they will not only better understand the chemical concepts behind these experiments but also appreciate the love of chemistry that all volunteers participating in the show share.

Faculty members helping with this years demo include Tim Hagen, Lee Sunderlin, Chong Zheng, Tim Perkins and the Chemistry Clubs faculty adviser, Oliver Hofstetter.

The annual Chem Demo really is the highlight of the year when it comes to presenting ourselves and reaching out to the community. It is an exciting opportunity to demonstrate that science is fun and that scientists are just people like you and me, Hofstetter said in the release.

While the night will include some crowd favorites from previous years, such as the liquid nitrogen bomb and ping-pong madness, the Chem Club also will serve freshly prepared ice cream at the end of the performance.

Expect bright flashes of light and intermittent periods of low light and/or darkness during the event.

Free parking will be available in the NIU Parking Deck starting at 5 p.m., except for reserved and handicapped spaces.

For more information about the Chemistry Demo, email Marina Galluzzo at mgalluzzo@niu.edu.

Chemistry Seminar – Dr. Christopher Jones – Seton Hall University News & Events

Posted on by

Tuesday, March 21, 2017

By Nicholas Snow

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Rose Mercadante Seminar Series is pleased to present a seminar entitled "Amine-Modified Silicates as Acid/Base Bifunctional Catalysts and Catalyst Supports" by Dr. Christopher Jones of the School of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA.

The seminar will be held at 5:45 p.m. on Tuesday March 28, 2017 in the Helen Lerner Amphitheater, Science and Technology Center. The University Community is invited to attend.

Amine modified porous silicates are highly versatile materials. We have explored synthesis-structure-property relationships for these materials in the separation of organic species from gas or liquid phases, as well as for CO2 capture. Building on this, our recent endeavors in the design and application of porous silicate supported amines in catalysis will be described. Catalysts based on discrete molecular amines that act as basic sites have been employed in reactions of importance in synthetic organic chemistry such as aldol condensations and related reactions. Similar materials are demonstrated to be useful supports for metal nanoparticles that offer outstanding performance in the semi-hydrogenation of alkynes into cis-alkenes.

Professor Jones is the Love Family Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering and the Associate Vice President for Research at Georgia Tech.

Dr. Jones leads a research group that works in the broad areas of materials, catalysis and adsorption.

Since joining Georgia Tech, Dr. Jones has been recognized with a number of awards for his research and teaching. The American Chemical Society recognized his catalysis research with the Ipatieff Prize in 2010, followed by the North American Catalysis Society with the Paul H. Emmett Award in Fundamental Catalysis in 2013.

In 2016, he was recognized by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers as the top chemical engineer under 45 with the Andreas Acrivos Award for Professional Progress.

Dr. Jones is the founding Editor-in-Chief of the new journal, ACS Catalysis, which was recognized with the 2012 Prose Award as the Best New Journal in Science, Technology or Medicine, by the American Association of Publishers.

As Associate Vice-President for Research, Jones is responsible for leading and managing interdisciplinary research activities across six colleges, the Georgia Tech Research Institute, and the Enterprise Innovation Institute.

Bonner Bolton and Sharna Burgess Open Up About Their ‘Obvious Chemistry’ on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ – Us Weekly

Posted on by

Its getting hot in here! Bonner Bolton and Sharna Burgess set social media on fire after their racy rodeo on Dancing With the Stars on Monday, March 20, and they admitted to Us Weekly, theyve got obvious chemistry.

The champion bull rider, 29, gushed about his dance partner after the premiere: I was telling her before we started tonight, I said, 'I can't look at you for too long, I feel like I might get distracted,' and maybe that's why I missed some of my steps.

He added: Shes obviously beautiful.

Despite ripping up the dance floor with their bold display, Burgess, 31, got coy over Boltons praises.

Oh gosh, she told reporters. I am a professional! No, no, we have a great chemistry and we have a lot of fun but first and foremost we're just trying to do a great job in this competition. I want to stay in it to tell his story, I want everyone to get to know him and I want to take this man to the final. And that is our priority! I think everyone's making a big deal about our obvious chemistry.

Bolton then clarified: Everyone should know she's 100 percent just as professional as she obviously is beautiful and a great dance teacher, and she's pushing me hard and I've been working hard and I just want to make her proud on the dance floor.

Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.

‘DWTS’ romance? Bull Rider Bonner Bolton and Sharna Burgess say there’s ‘chemistry’ – Fox News

Posted on by

Are "Dancing with the Stars" professional bull rider Bonner Bolton and sexy partner Sharna Burgess saddling up off the set?

The reality show's season 24 premiere showed lots of flirtation and spicy innuendo involving the handsome rodeo star, 29, and the longtime "DWTS" pro, 31.

Burgess was seen blushing and gushing over Bolton in rehearsal footage that showed her first meeting him in his Texas hometown.

'DWTS' NEWS: JUDGES GIVE FORMER 'SNL' STAR CHRIS KATTAN SHOCKING LOW SCORES

Then Bolton declared on camera as their training progressed, "I'm dancing with the prettiest lady in the house."

Judges continued to stoke the romance angle after the couple performed their Monday premiere episode cha cha, for which they received a solid score of 22.

Bruno Tonioli teased the dancer, "Sharna, you're in for the ride of a lifetime!"

And handsome Bonner, who has also worked as a model, told co-host Erin Andrews in their "DWTS" Sky Box interview about his dance coach, "She's been drilling me hard."

After the show, while not outright confirming a romance, Burgess said of dating rumors, "I think they are set on fire right now because of our [rehearsal footage] package and the accidental innuendoes in the Sky Box. Obviously, we have chemistry."

She coyly told FOX411, "Yes, we are both single."

Bolton chimed in, "Definitely, both very single."

In January 2016, Bolton broke his neck after a bull threw him off and he landed on his head, leaving him temporarily paralyzed. The dangerous injury will likely be discussed further on "DWTS" if he continues to progress in the competition.

'DWTS' RECAP: SHOW'S FIRST BASEBALL PLAYER IS BIG HIT IN THE BALLROOM

On Monday night, all of the stars performed but there was no elimination, so they dance again next Monday, March 27.

Bolton told FOX411 about Burgess, "It was so much fun just to dance and to be with such a great partner and teacher. She's been very patient. Obviously, it's not easy to teach a cowboy who was paralyzed just over a year ago from the sport of bull riding to learn how to dance and be coordinated, but she's doing a heck of a job even though I missed some things tonight. I had so much fun and I'm going to feed off of God and try to bring it even more next week."

He said, "I think every woman loves a man that can dance, right?" as Burgess smiled by his side.

The dance professional has been teamed with other rough and ready celeb competitors in the past, such as amputee war veteran Noah Galloway and race car driver James Hinchcliffe. Both of those stars already had girlfriends when they performed with Burgess.

"People with near-death experiences seems to be my cup of tea," Burgess told FOX411. "I love telling their stories" through dance.

Bolton added, "She's like the dance therapist. She gets the special ones, obviously."

And maybe now, she also gets a boyfriend from "DWTS"?

Suncor Refinery Reports Another Malfunction, Chemical Release – Westword

Posted on by

The operator of a Commerce City oil refinery says it has shut down the facility after a malfunction that spewed a chemical byproduct into the surrounding community the second such incident in recent months.

In a statement posted to social media, Suncor Energy said that the refinery, located just north of Denver city limits near the intersection of Brighton Boulevard and Interstate 270, experienced an "equipment malfunction" at around 5:40 p.m. today, March 17. The incident caused the release of catalyst, a clay-like substance used in the refining process.

"As a precautionary measure, we sounded a vapor release alarm and immediately initiated our response plan," the company's statement says. "The unit has been put in safe mode."

Brighton Boulevard was temporarily closed due to the malfunction, but has since reopened. Suncor notified residents on March 9 that it planned to conduct maintenance on the refinery that would last "approximately two weeks" and involve "periods of increased flaring." Visible plumes of yellowish smoke were being emitted from the facility's smokestacks today, according to social media posts from residents.

Suncor's description of today's incident is nearly identical to that of a December 11 "operational upset" that caused a yellowish plume of ash-like material to drift into Commerce City and fall on cars and other outdoor surfaces, leading two nearby schools to be placed on lockdown. The incident caused the refinery to be shut down for nearly a month.

Safety documents released by Suncor in the aftermath of the December 11 incident indicated that its catalyst materials are rated as slight health hazards, according to the National Fire Protection Associations hazard identification scale. The company advised residents at the time to "take standard hygiene practices such as washing hands and/or any affected clothing."

Suncor says that it is "concerned" about today's incident and is monitoring the situation. "All employees are accounted for and community air monitoring is in place," the company's statement reads. "Well provide more information as it becomes available and as response activities allow."

In a statement, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment confirmed that Suncor had notified regulators of an equipment failure that resulted in "highly visible opacity emissions" and that the company had been in contact with local emergency services and health officials. The department does not believe there is ongoing risk to the community, according to the statement.

"Suncor security personnel conducted monitoring with handheld devices for a range of materials, including hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide, and observed no elevated levels," CDPHE's statement says. "We will monitor the situation and review data from the air monitors we have placed around the Suncor refinery."

Earlier this month, CDPHE officials announced a record $9 million agreement with Suncor to settle a wide variety of violations identified in recent state inspections of the facility. The Suncor plant would also be subject to the new air-monitoring and reporting regulations outlined in legislation backed by Democratic lawmakers at the State Capitol.

In its apology for the December 11 incident, Suncor assured community members that the company had "already taken a number of steps to help prevent such an incident from happening again."

UGA’s Robinson named Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry – UGA Today

Posted on by

Athens, Ga. - Gregory H. Robinson, University of Georgia Foundation Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, has been named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. A nonprofit organization with a heritage that spans 175 years, the Royal Society of Chemistry is the United Kingdom's professional body for chemical scientists and the largest organization in Europe for advancing the chemical sciences.

Robinson joins his department of chemistry colleague, Graham Perdue Professor Henry "Fritz" Schaefer, who was elected in 2005 as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.

A 2012 Humboldt Research Award from Germany's Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and a 2014 recipient of the Southeastern Conference Faculty Achievement Award, Robinson is an internationally recognized scholar whose scientific achievements have been described as groundbreaking. Over the past 25 years, Robinson and his team have published a series of fundamental findings that have reshaped how scientists view chemical bonding in many chemical compounds.

"This is a well-deserved honor for Dr. Robinson in recognition of his creative and pioneering work in inorganic synthetic chemistry," said Jonathan Amster, professor and head of the department of chemistry. "The number of American RSC Fellows is quite small, and so Greg has established himself as a member of an elite group. This brings honor not only to him, but to our department and the university."

Robinson's research concerns the synthesis, structure and stabilization of compounds containing multiple bonds between heavier main group elements, such as gallium and lead. Recently, Robinson's research team, which includes Schaefer and research scientist Yuzhong Wang, prepared a rare silicon oxide molecule that was dubbed a precursor to "molecular sand."

"To be named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry is a tremendous honor, and to now be associated with some of the world's most notable chemists is equally humbling," Robinson said. "This international honor is a testament to the gifted students and creative colleagues that have been a part of our research team over the years."

The Royal Society of Chemistry partners with industry and academia, promotes collaboration and innovation, advises governments on policy and promotes the talent, information and ideas that lead to great advances in science.

Yellow-green chemical spill on I-696 no imminent risk to the public, officials say – MLive.com

Posted on by

MADISON HEIGHTS, MI Michigan officials say a yellow-green chemical liquid that seeped onto I-696 on Friday poses no imminent risk to the public.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy had workers vacuuming sewers and working inside Madison Heights-based Electro-Plating Services over the weekend.

According to the Associated Press, the chemical oozed out of the building's basement and entered a storm sewer on the freeway and a sewer clean-out between the business and the freeway's service drive.

The liquid was identified as water contaminated with Hexavelent Chromium, a chemical typically used in textile dyes, wood preservation and inks.

And while there is little risk to the public, officials told the Associated Press that the freeway embankment is "significantly impacted."

The company was issued a cease-and-desist order in December 2016 due to hazardous waste mismanagement. Crews removed chemicals from the property but did not clean up soil or groundwater contamination.

Last month, the company was ordered to pay $1.5 million and its owner, Gary Sayers, received one year in prison for illegally storing hazardous waste.

Sayers knowing, illegal storage of waste cyanide, highly corrosive wastes, toxic chromium waste, and reactive wastes posed a significant danger and threat to nearby communities and the environment, Jeffrey Bossert Clark, Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, said in a statement in November.

Federal officials added that Sayers "stonewalled" efforts and warnings for years to properly deal with the wastes.

According to the Associated Press, samples of the liquid were taken for testing and those results are expected by Tuesday. Officials from EGLE, as well as other local, state and federal agencies, met Sunday in Detroit.
