Despite the changing face of chemistry, the importance of synthesis - the ability to generate molecules in a controlled fashion - has not diminished. However, the increasingly complex synthetic problems being posed by nature, medicine and materials demand new reactivity concepts and strategies in order to meet these challenges.
Our group is interested in the development of new catalytic strategies for chemical synthesis that engage novel reactivity concepts to enable the rapid generation of architecturally complex molecules and natural products. One of our key aims is to be able to construct natural products from simple building blocks in a single step, without the need for reactivity inducing functional groups and with the ability to control the stereochemistry.
In this way, we hope to be able to develop a chemo-catalytic equivalent to Nature's biosynthetic machinery that will enable us to build any molecule we want. Our approach to this is focussed on three main research programmes:
(A) metal catalyzed C-H bond functionalization,
(B) catalytic asymmetric synthesis using small molecule organic catalysts,
(C) cascade strategies for natural product synthesis.
In addition to this, many of the molecules that we are able to synthesise have interesting biological properties, and so we are also able to develop chemical biology applications from our synthetic chemistry projects.

City of Sullivan City
P.O. Box 249
Sullivan City, TX 78595
Tel: (956) 485-2828
These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of Sullivan City.
On or about November 8, 2011, the City of Sullivan City will submit a request to the Texas General Land Office (GLO), Disaster Recovery Division (DR), Environmental Regulatory Officers, 301 Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas 78701, for the release of funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act enacted on September 30, 2008 (PL-110-329), for its Texas Community Development Block Grant Program for 2008 Supplemental Disaster Recovery Funds associated with Hurricanes Dolly and Ike, to undertake a project known as Flood & Drainage Facilities and Acquisition (GLO Contract no. 10-5156-000-5137, formally identified as TDRA Contract No. DRS010180). The City of Sullivan City proposes to use federal funds to excavate approximately 18,520 cubic yards of material, construct a concrete lined drainage ditch, and install 40 linear feet of culvert. Construction shall take place at the floodplain, approximately signed as Valle Street). The City also proposes to acquire approximately 4.02 acres of land to accommodate the proposed drainage ditch. The City of Sullivan City is requesting the release of $500,000 of Federal assistance.
The City of Sullivan City has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the national Environmental policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at City Hall of the City of Sullivan City, 500 Cenizo Drive, Sullivan City, TX 78595, and may be examined or copied weekdays, 8 A.M. to 5 P.M., excluding holidays.
Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to City Hall of the City of Sullivan City, 500 Cenizo Drive (or P.O. Box 249), Sullivan City, TX 78595. All comments received by November 7, 2011, will be considered by the City of Sullivan City prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.
The City of Sullivan City certifies to TDRA that Rosendo Benavides in his capacity as Mayor consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process, and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The TDRA approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows the City of Sullivan City to use Program funds.
The TDRA-DR Environmental Regulatory Officers will consider objections to its release of funds and the City of Sullivan City's certification received by November 23, 2011, or for a period of fifteen days following its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Sullivan City; (b) the City of Sullivan City has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the Project have committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by TDRA; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to the Texas General Land Office, disaster Recovery Division, Environmental Regulatory Officers, 301 Congress Avenue, Suite 600, Austin, Texas 78701. Potential objectors should contact the GLO-Environmental Regulatory Officers at (512) 447-5590 to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

Audra and I also chatted about Ragtime and (another spoiler alert) the end of Act One when Sarah is killed. Audra would fall to the ground and then cast members would lift her up above their heads and carry her off. Well, one night when they lifted her, her wig got caught in the button of somebody's costume. And then it fell off. She was carried off with just a wig cap on. Audra said people were like, "Poor Sarah. She's dead. And she wore a wig!" Right after she was carried off every night, she'd have to immediately get in the coffin for the funeral song.
If you don't know, sometimes when a show is having a long run, practical jokes start to be played. Audra said that she'd often get into the coffin only to find out that she was laying on somebody's beeper (remember, this was late 1990's). During the long Act One finale, someone in the cast would arrange for one of the understudies to stand backstage and call the beeper. Her imitation of trying to play dead while something is vibrating non-stop underneath her was hi-larious.
We spoke a little about the Sondheim Porgy and Bess flap but I will go into more details with her this summer when we perform our show at the Art House. One of the things she mentioned about that show was her daughter's response after seeing it in Boston. She was so excited for Zoe to see it…although she forgot she played a cocaine-addicted prostitute. Afterwards, she asked Zoe what she thought and Zoe said it was awkward. Why? "Well, Mom...you did some awkward things." Audra then asked Zoe if she wanted to see the show when it came to Broadway, and before she finished the sentence, Zoe quickly and simply said, "No."

I asked her where she liked playing it better and she said here in America. Why? "Because people liked me on Broadway." If you don't know, the London reviews for Les Misérables were terrible and Frances didn't get any accolades. (Patti LuPone won the Olivier for playing Fantine.) However, when she did the New York production, she won the Tony Award! Here she is in 1986. Continued...

Product Description
The Lake Country Hydro Tech Crimson Ultra Fine Finishing Pad can help you take your polishing results to the next level. The Crimson pad is ultra soft and it can be used to help you apply a glaze, sealant or liquid wax. The gentle pad applies a nice even coverage and ensures a thorough coating. This pad is also exceptional for ultra fine polishes (i.e. Menzerna Micro Polish SF 4500 (PO85RD)) because it helps provide increased optical clarity. Many professionals love this pad with a ultra fine polish because it helps them get that last extra bit of "pop" in the paint that separates them form average detailers. The Crimson Pads outstanding results are possible due to a special European foam that has a closed cell or non-reticulated design. It forces the product to stay on the surface and not be readily absorbed in to the pad. You can now get a longer work time and better performance. This helps you conserve more product and cleaning this pad is easier since it absorbs noticeably less product. The 1.25" thick pad is safe and easy to use. Get the new Lake Country Hydro Tech Crimson Ultra Fine Finishing Pad and you will be shocked at the new level of depth and gloss produced!Please note: Lake Country Hydro Tech Pads may not be as durable as traditional Lake Country pads.

Excellent pad! I prefer this pad to the lc black used with menzerna powerlock. I am absolutely buying more
These work great. No worries about scratching. You can use for a variety of products. I look forward to using them.
A must have pad for jeweling soft black paint. Just used this on a black Porsche and had great results. Every other pad left micro marring, but this one did great. I've got several of them now. Works great for applying sealants as well.

NBA Feet: Ray Allen – Air Jordan VIII
May 15th, 2012 by John Kim | 23 comments
This postseason has been quite a showcase for sick kicks thus far. Gilbert Arenas wore the Air Jordan IV 'Lightning', Nick Young whipped out the Metallic Red Foamposites, and Kawhi Leonard of the Spurs rotated some white/black/grey Air Jordans during the First Round. It was only a matter of time that Ray Allen would shut down the competition with a PE of his own, and did so during Game 2 of Boston's series against the Philadelphia Sixers with the Air Jordan VIII 'Home' PE; although the Celtics lost the game, Ray led the Celtics with 17 points off the bench. Is this the best NBA Feet sighting of the Playoffs thus far? Check out Ray and his kicks below and let us know what you think. Photos: espn
Filed under: Air Jordans, Basketball, Celebrity Feet, PE // Tags: 2012 NBA Playoffs, Air Jordan VIII, Ray Allen
the last time ray wore those, he led the celtics to their 17th title in 2008, a sign of things to come?
i'm almost positive...he wore these like a couple years ago against the Thunder....actually he might have even worn them even more recently.....
Not implant's. Ray's calfs have been like that since he was ballin' at Hillcrest High School in SC.
Did no one see him break out the silver anniversary XI's in game 1? I sure did they were sweet! Guess sneaker news didn't see that...
