Set in the southwestern desert, Outlaw Rock is exactly ten miles long. Despite having a large vertical climb, the gentle pitch is easy on the legs. Hairpin curves at the end require good steering and bike control.
If you accept this challenge then the next time you ride "Outlaw Rock" on the Expresso bike, the ghost of M. Eckendorf will appear on your screen. Good Luck!

Now with Medals and a Scoreboard!
* Press Z to jump!
* Press K for Easy Mode! (Scoreboard disabled)
* Press M to toggle Mute!
I set out to make a short, slightly challenging, little low-fi platformer. It's very short (15 minutes at most), not all that challenging, and certainly low-fi.
If you do get stuck, you can press the K key on your keyboard to switch on Easy Mode. Once Easy Mode is turned on, it can't be turned off again.
This is my first game. It's not all that great and has plenty of issues, which is what I expected. I spent a total of two weeks on it, a few hours a day. Most of that time was trying to learn how to use StencylWorks. Since I'm not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination, StencylWorks was my best bet for getting anything done.
Admittedly, 90% of what I love about Just Another Day is the music, provided by Peter Gresser.
* If you find your framerate very slow, try clicking the 'pop-out' link above the game, to move it to its own window.
* If you still can't hit Z after clicking away the ad, just click the flash again.
Holy cow (or is that bull), front page! Thank you all for the positive reviews!
11-02-12: Medals and a Scoreboard? I've sold out... At least I didn't make the game easier. Changed the graphic for the "helper" blocks, because some people were offended. Compressed the music to make the filesize smaller, please listen to the original quality on Peter Gresser's page.
30-01-12: Made the fadein/out on death a little faster, and added a few more helper blocks.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
this game..
was the most frustrating 16 mins of my life! its like masturbating with hands made of broken glass and chili-powder. its not the hardest game ive ever played but its close. my masochistic side demands you make more of these!!! :D
also this game is indy as all get out! crazy hard , bad graphics that feel good, weird characters that dont talk. why cant mainstream games ever feel this nice?
Rated 5 / 5 stars
not at all challenging?
this is the hardest game i have ever played in my like, and i played the original mortal kombat. I mean this as a compliment.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Awsom game
Also, I believe that entire part between exiting the cave and finding the crashed ship was a tribute to the original Super Mario Bros. Am I rite?
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Ignore the haters
This game is fantastic! For games like this I created this account. It certainly is one of the most original flash games I've played in a while, short yet challenging (to all those "but it's so tough!" suck it up). I loved the story! A resident of a planet falls in love from first sight in an alien! It's been a while since I've seen anyone use this template, and you did it well, the lack of words made it ever so more heart-wrenching and you have proven that by using black and white the game doesn't have to be "edgy" (note that I don't mind them and certainly like some of them, but it's refreshing). The music? It was FANTASTIC! It went with the game and the scenes perfectly, I don't know why, but it felt so right to listen to this, it somehow managed to blend in to the scenario. The gameplay was tough, I have to say, but certainly enjoyable! I feel that the fact that when you died you respawned so quickly should also be mentioned, too many games try to make deaths flashy or prolong them, almost laughing at the player for their failure, sometimes it's just so frustrating that it makes me want to stop playing a game, so whenever you will be making another game, make sure to not make one of these flashy, prolonged deaths and stick to simple fade in/out like you did here!
The only complain I would have is that it's too short, but then again, most people nowadays have too short attention span for longer games, so it's really dubious. It's a fantastic game overall, kudos to you, my good sire/madam.
P.s. I loved that super mario bros. reference, it's one of the more original references I've seen, not so painfully obvious but neither too subtle.

text: Home // Nutrition // Eat Healthy Building a Healthy Low-Carb Diet for Athletes May 26, 2012 Must See Nutrition Videos Coming Up STACK Performance Nutrition: Best Sources of Carbs for Athletes The recent popularity of low-carb diet plans for weight loss has presented a challenge for athletes at all levels. Is a low-carb diet safe for athletes? What effect will it have on performance? Yes, eliminating carbohydrates from your diet will cause the human body to shed fat, but doing so can cause a harmful change in your blood's pH levels. In chemistry class, you learned that acids have low pH numbers and alkaline substances are high in pH. Your blood prefers a more alkaline pH level, but a diet high in traditional protein sources like meat can dramatically lower the blood's pH. A highly acidic pH level can cause the body to lose bone and muscle tissue, which hinders athletic performance, muscle development and recovery. The hormone insulin introduces another tricky complication to low-carb diets. Insulin helps muscles repair themselves and ultimately grow by introducing protein, carbs and fat into muscle cells. Too much insulin, however, and the body will start retaining fat. Carbohydrates cause the body to produce insulin, so reducing carbs will slow fat gain, but it can also lower insulin to unhealthy levels. If you're going to reduce carbohydrates in a healthy way, you'll need to balance protein, carb and fat intake to: Lose body fat Gain and repair muscle tissue Maintain bone and muscle mass With pH levels and insulin in mind, it's possible to create a low-carb diet that works for sports performance. You can balance out acidic foods in your diet by including plenty of fruits and vegetables, which are extremely alkalizing. Think of fruits and vegetables as "super foods," which are perfect for every meal since they add few calories and help balance the blood. If you're training or competing, you'll need to get carbohydrates at the right times during the day through a process called "carbohydrate timing." Think of your grain- and pasta-based carbohydrates as "insulin spikers," useful for muscle growth and recovery. Eat these carbohydrates only after a hard practice, game or workout to elevate insulin when you really need to it to put nutrients back into your muscles. Carbohydrates are crucial for sports performance, but with a little preparation, you can eat a modified low-carb diet and still perform at a high level. For best results, plan your meals and discuss your nutrition with a registered dietician. Topics: DIET | BURN FAT | CARBS

-Blackwater Heritage State Trail, Nature Coast State Trail and the Tallahassee-St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail recognized for local and regional significance-
TALLAHASSEE - The Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) Office of Greenways & Trails is proud to announce National Recreation Trail (NRT) designations for the Blackwater Heritage State Trail, the Nature Coast State Trail and the Tallahassee-St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail. These three State Trails, managed by the DEP Office of Greenways & Trails, join an elite list of more than 1,000 trails across the United States that are deemed exemplary for their local and regional significance based on criteria established by the National Recreation Trails program.
"We welcome this national recognition for three outstanding Florida trails that are not only vital recreational resources for Florida's citizens and visitors but they also help boost the tourism that is so important to the state," said Jena Brooks, Director of the DEP Office of Greenways & Trails. "In 2009, these state trails, together with Florida's other official state trails and the Cross Florida Greenway, experienced the highest annual visitation ever with a total of over 4 million statewide visitors, generating an estimated $95 million of economic impact."
In announcing the 2010 NRT designations, U. S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar said, "We are very proud of these trails and the spirit of partnerships and resource conservation that they represent. Trails provide millions of Americans with healthy recreational experiences and often their first encounters with the natural world." National Recreation Trails are components of the National Trails System and recognize existing trails that connect people to recreational resources and improve their quality of life.
The Blackwater Heritage State Trail in Milton is a 8-mile rail-trail which connects to the 1.5-mile Military Heritage Trail managed by the Naval Air Station Whiting Field. The Trail features several creek crossings and an abundance of native wildflowers for a pleasant tour of the Northwest Florida countryside. The Tallahassee-St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail was Florida's first state rail-trail and provides a 16-mile path that runs from south of the Capital City through Wakulla County to the coastal community of St. Marks. The 32-mile, paved Nature Coast State Trail follows a peaceful, rural route that connects Cross City, Trenton and Chiefland and features an historic railroad trestle bridge that crosses the Suwannee River near Old Town.
The 2010 NRT trails will be officially recognized in conjunction with National Trails Day,® which is sponsored by the American Hiking Society, on June 5, 2010. The DEP Office of Greenways & Trails will join with the Florida Trail Association in hosting a National Trails Day® celebration to be held at the Tallahassee-St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail on June 5 at the Wakulla Station Trailhead. In addition to announcing the NRT designations for these Florida Trails, the Florida Trail's newest Gateway Communities of the cities of Sopchoppy and St. Marks and Wakulla County will be recognized. The event is designed to highlight the many trails and outdoor recreation opportunities available in Wakulla County and the Big Bend region.
Florida has been named by American Trails as "Best Trails State in America," recognizing the efforts of DEP's Office of Greenways & Trails (OGT) and its many partners for their coordinated efforts to establish Florida's statewide system of trails. OGT provides community assistance, trail acquisition and development funding, and public outreach to expand the statewide system of greenways and trails. OGT also manages eight state trails and the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway. The Greenway is Florida's longest green corridor, stretching 110 miles from the St. Johns River near Palatka to the Gulf of Mexico near Inglis. Of the eight state trails, six are rail-trails, which are railroad corridors converted to recreational trails for hiking, biking, skating, equestrian activities and alternative transportation.

I'm excited to kick off the new week with a CAMPING themed birthday party that just looks like an absolute blast! And that's exactly what a party is supposed to be, right?!
Desiree from Desiree Spinner Events created such a fun adventure for this birthday boy & his guests at "CAMP LUKE", where they were greeted with bright green "explorer back packs" (complete with mini binoculars, compass & more!), enjoyed camping-style games, and watched a movie under the stars while chowing down on mini burgers, fries, and adorable camping-themed sugar cookies. There was even a cool custom tent (made by modifying a pop-up tent from Target) and clever "I Survived Camp Luke" tees for kids to take home!
Read on for lots more FUN images + all the creative party details…
PARTY DETAILS, as told by Desiree….
"For this party we purchased a small pop up tent at a local Target and took off all the tenting, then hand-sewed fabric panels and tied & hung each panel to the structure to create a "dreamy feeling" tent. We put blankets and lanterns down for the kids to play with and also hung wooden shaped stars that I painted with glow in the dark paint.
We ordered back packs from LL Bean in the spring when they are super on sale and filled them with small camping goodies like an explorer hat, a copy of Curious George Goes Camping and binoculars.
When the kids arrived we gave them each an explorer backpack. We also got two picnic tables and painted them with green chalk paint so the kids could get that camp-out feeling but also draw and have fun with them!
For the movie screening we got a projector and mini folding camping chairs that were on sale at Amazon and put pillows and blankets out. Kids had been encouraged (via the invitation) to bring their own sleeping bags with them.
The colors were brown, dark green and light green and we kept everything in the color palette. We had camping themed kids music playing and invited Miss Lori from Klub Kidz to come play camping themed games with the kids to wear them out! =) When they wound down to watch the movie (Bernstein Bears go Camping) we served them mini burgers and fries. The cookies were brought out in a paper bag, along with fondant start topped cupcakes by Delicious Desserts."

If, while studying a map of North Carolina, you take just a moment to focus on the middle of the "Tar Heel State," you are bound to find Winston-Salem. Look at little closer, and you'll see we're conveniently located at the crossroads of major thoroughfares of Interstate 85, I-77, I-40, Business 40 and Highway 52. If you're wondering where that puts us in the "miles from" category, well, we're about 144 miles east of Asheville, 329 miles north of Atlanta, 350 miles south of Washington, D.C. and just more than 100 miles west of Raleigh, N.C. Add that we are only about 1-1/2 hours from the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains and it's quickly evident why visitors have discovered, we are a perfect drive destination for quick getaway or a long weekend.
The central portion of the state is frequently referred to as the Piedmont Triad due to our prime location at the "foot" (Pied) of the mountains. Triad is a more familiar business and commercial reference due to our close proximity to neighboring High Point and Greensboro. This further explains the reason our major international, just 25 minutes from downtown Winston-Salem, is named the Piedmont Triad International Airport (airport code is GSO). With approximately 59 non-stops flights serviced by six major airlines, Winston-Salem is also an attractive fly-in destination and a great start to a wonderful North Carolina excursion.
Whether still in pre-planning mode or even once you're here, we invite you to use this website to easily navigate your way through Winston-Salem as directions and maps to most of attractions, restaurants and hotels are just click away.
We'd love to help you find your way to Winston-Salem, so please let us know if would like to receive additional information, directions and/or maps. And of course we always happy to mail you a complete visitor guide information packet, just give us a call or send us an e-mail!

With Ciel's Resistance he defeated Copy X, the ruler of Neo Arcadia. The terror of the Neo Arcadian regime ended, but the energy shortage remained a constant problem. Ciel devoted herself to researching new forms of energy. And Elpizo became the newly appointed Resistance leader. However, overcome by his desire for power, Elpizo awakened the Dark Elf, whose magic had once nearly destroyed the world. Elpizo, thirsting for the power of the Dark Elf, lost sight of his true duty, and was finally defeated after a fierce battle. However, the Dark Elf fled, her destination unknown... The battle over the Dark Elf had only just begun... Two months later. * - Zero, Ciel, and two Resistance soldiers are walking through a snowy area. R.Soldier1: It sure is quiet... There haven't been many Neo Arcadian attacks lately. Things are almost too peaceful now... R.Soldier2: Ms. Ciel completed her research on the new energy... And if it solves the energy crisis, Neo Arcadia won't have a reason to fight us anymore. Ciel : Actually... I already informed Neo Arcadia about this new energy, the "Ciel System"... But... I haven't received a reply yet... R.Soldier1: Don't worry! I'm sure their answer will come soon! There's no more reason to fight. We can live in peace! Right?! Zero : We're in the middle of a mission. So put a lid on it and walk! Ciel : *gulp!* Sorry! * - A large, crashed aircraft comes into view. Ciel : The reading is getting stronger. We're close... R.Soldier2: The snow is letting up... R.Soldier1: W-wow! Look at that! Zero : Is that...some kind of ship? R.Soldier1: Ms. Ciel... Did that...huge thing...fall from outer space?! Ciel : Yes...but what's more... It's giving out the same energy reading as the Dark Elf...of which there is only one in the whole world... Zero was against the idea, but I just had to find out... What could possibly be going on here? Zero : Neo Arcadia has the area ahead of us cordoned off. Ciel : What?! Zero : You guys stay here until I make sure it's safe. Ciel : Okay... Be careful, Zero... [ Entrance to aircraft ] Zero : Up ahead... That's where the Dark Elf reading is coming from. She knew who I was... Why would the elf who almost destroyed the world know me? T:Ciel : Zero? Are you there? Zero : Maintain radio silence! The enemy is near... * - The scene shifts to the others' locale. Ciel : Oh, I-I'm sorry... * - The first soldier notices something. R.Soldier1: Get down! Neo Arcadians! R.Soldier2: Ms. Ciel, look out! * - The screen blackens, and Ciel screams. Zero : No! * - Harpuia appears before Zero. Harpuia : Relax. They won't come to any harm. Zero : Harpuia?! Harpuia : I'm letting you off the hook this time. But you and those Resistance fighters must leave, now! Zero : You're letting us off the hook?! Harpuia : Scram! I don't have time to mess with you now! * - He teleports out of the area. Zero : ... T:Ciel : Zero... Can you hear me? Zero : Seems you're okay... Leave the rest of this up to me. I want you all to head back to the Resistance Base. T:Ciel : But, Zero... * - A sound is heard from inside the aircraft. Zero : I've heard that voice somewhere before... Is it...calling me? [ Boss ] * - In a certain room of the aircraft, three Neo Arcadian soldiers are aiming their guns at a wall. Suddenly, a large mechanical hand holding Leviathan is thrown through the wall and into another. With that impact, part of the ceiling collapses, crushing the other soldiers. The last remaining part of the wall is demolished as Fefnir is knocked through it. The mechanical hand releases Leviathan and floats past where the wall had been. Fefnir : Now you're askin' for it! I'll blast you to pieces! * - He launches fireballs from his weapon, but the mechanical hand rams into him, knocking him to the ground. Fefnir : Ooph! * - The hand reattaches to a giant humanoid robot. Leviathan : *pant pant* Are you alive, Fefnir? Fefnir : What a monster... The two of us fighting together, and not a scratch. Leviathan : Omega, the evil Reploid banished from Neo Arcadia... He's pretty tough... * - Zero enters the room. Fefnir : Zero!? What the heck are YOU doing here?! Zero : What is that thing? Leviathan : That's Omega. His mere existence defies reality... He's strong, but... He's not as fun to fight as you are. Hehe... I don't feel like fighting him, so he's all yours... See you later, Zero. * - She teleports out of the area. Fefnir : Bah, that Leviathan... Grr, I can't move! We'll have to finish this another time! Hey, Zero! I'll get you and that Omega one of these days! Don't you dare die before then, Zero! * - He also teleports out of the area. Omega makes the same sound that Zero had heard before. Zero : Omega, huh? So you were the one who called me here? * - Upon Zero's victory over Omega: Omega : Grrr... * - Omega begins to repair itself. Zero : You just don't give up, do you... * - Omega is suddenly struck by a series of electrical beam. Harpuia teleports into the room. Omega : Gaaarrrrwl! Harpuia : So you're Omega. I'm afraid I can't let you leave this place, ever. Time for your destruction! * - Harpuia readies his blades. ????? : Hehehehe... Omega, that will be quite enough. From this day forward... You will fight with this person as a Neo Arcadian. It's not polite, smashing a friend like that. Omega : Gaarwl... Lord...Weil... Harpuia : A Neo Arcadian?! Who is this guy?! * - A man descends, hovering in the air. The man's head is enclosed by a glass case that contains liquid. Weil : Hehehehe... I am Weil. You may call me Dr. Weil. You must knwo my name, Harpuia of the Four Guardians? And you...the legendary hero. Zero... Harpuia : Dr. Weil?! You're kidding me! It can't be! Why are you, who were banished from Neo Arcadia a century ago, with Omega?! Copy X : That's simple. I-I brought him. * - Copy X teleports into the room. Harpuia : M...Master X?! Is that you?! * - Harpuia kneels. Copy X : Harpuia! Hehe, you haven't ch-changed! And th-then there's... I missed y-you, Zero... Zero : You must be... You're a copy, aren't you? Weil : Hehehe! I brought back Master X, whom you defeated long ago! To protect humanity from the chaos of this world! Copy X : Weil saved my life. I owe h-him, see... I'll take Omega back, thank y-you. Harpuia, you k-keep searching for the Dark Elf. Omega and the Dark Elf... We'll need both of them for what's to c-come... Harpuia : But Master X! Think how many humans died because of the Dark Elf and Omega, both built by this man... How can you justify exposing humanity to such a grave danger, especially now with the energy crisis almost solved?! Weil : What's this? Are you trying to tell Master X what to do? When did you grow so bold, Harpuia? Harpuia : Weil...you... Copy X : So, Zero. You g-guys are also searching for the Dark Elf, right? Let's m-make a contest out of it! I'll sh-show you who the real hero i-is! * - Copy X teleports out of the area. Weil : Hehehe... Now things are getting interesting, Zero! Let's see how far you get with that body Hehehe... * - Weil, Harpuia, and Omega leave via teleportation. Zero : "With that body"...? ... T:Ciel : Zero... This is terrible... Zero : So you were monitoring the whole thing? T:Ciel : Hurry back to base. Operator? T:Operator: Commencing trans. #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$ $# Resistance Base - Commander's Room #$ #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$ Operator 1: Transferring... Two... One... * - Zero appears. Operator 2: Transfer complete. Ciel : What should I do? Zero : Well, for now... Not letting Neo Arcadia have the Dark Elf... That would be priority number one. Operator 1: I will calculate our best course of action, giving priority to the search for the Dark Elf. I will report to Ms. Ciel as soon as the results are in. R.Soldier1: Ms. Ciel, please cheer up. Everything's turned out alright before, hasn't it?! R.Soldier2: That's right. We believe in you, Ms. Ciel. And in Mr. Zero, too! Ciel : Thank you, everyone. * - The two soldiers leave. Ciel turns to Zero. Ciel : The simulation will take a while longer to finish... I think we're going to need your help again, Zero... But you should get a little rest, first. For now... I'll save our data. ----------------------------------------------------------- -(YES) Ciel : Save data where? OK to overwrite? Data saved. I'll take care of managing the data, just like always. If you need anything, let me know. -(NO) Ciel : Shouldn't you be resting? Don't overdo it. I'll manage the data. Tell me if you need anything. ----------------------------------------------------------- Ciel : One more thing... You should go see Cerveau. I hear he's finished his Secret Disk analyzer. If you find any Secret Disks that you can't analyze, ask Cerveau to have a look for you. #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# $# Resistance Base - Social Script #$ #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# [ Level 5 ] * - Ladders lead to the control rooms of two cannons. [003] : Mr. Zero! Before I worked here I was a security guard in the desert. Of course, that was over a year ago. [004] :{1} Ah, Mr. Zero! Lately I've been so bored...my trigger finger is itching. But I suppose that's nothing to complain about, right? Oh, yes! I can't make out what's on this disk... You can have it! * - He provides Secret Disk 058. {2} That disk I gave you... Did you decode it? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Yup! I knew you would, Mr. Zero! Your decisiveness is such an inspiration! -(No...) Oh, my! Not yet? You really should have Mr. Cerveau take a look at it. -------------------------------------------- [ Level 4 ] Ciel : Have you talked to Cerveau yet? I hear he can't wait to try out his disk analyzer! Doigt :{1} Hmm? Oh, it's you Zero. Did you get your new weapon from Cerveau? If not, you should go get it soon. Let me know how it works when you do. I can't really test its potential in the lab... {2} The Recoil Rod is strongest when charged. It incorporates features from Triple and Chain Rods... It will require some effort to master it. Alouette :{1} Oh, hey, Zero! I've been waiting here the whole time for Ciel. She came in and left again right away... This little guy is a bit worn out, so I'd like it fixed... I guess Ciel must be busy... * - "This little guy" is her doll. {2} I wonder where my little Crea and Prea went... They are my precious Baby Elves... Did you know that I could talk to them a little...? At first it was just "MiMiMiMi" and other baby babble. Zero, please let me know if you find them! Promise me... okay? Computer : Boot completed. Enter command. ----------------------------------------------- -(Look something up) Subject of interest? --(Omega) Omega is a giant Reploid with the same energy signature as the Dark Elf. Some say that Omega was involved in the Elf Wars. The records state that a century ago, Omega was ejected into Space... There is no other data available on Omega. --(Dr. Weil) Dr. Weil used the Dark Elf a century ago, causing the Elf Wars. He was banished from Neo Arcadia. He is a scientist who excels at bringing dead Reploids back to life. -(Transmission) Can trade BattleChips w/ "MMBN 4 Red Sun" and "MMBN 4 Blue Moon." Send BattleChips to "MMZ 3" to change enemies in Cyberspace. Begin transmission by selecting "BattleChips" from "Trade" in "Comm." on the PET screen of "Mega Man Battle Network 4." Begin transmission? --(YES) Waiting for transmission. (Cancel with the B BUTTON) Communicating with MMBN 4. Enter commands from MMBN 4. Transmission error. Ending transmission. Transmision complete. Cyberspace has changed! * - Initially, the "Z Saver" Battle Chip is on the MMZ3 catridge. Its description in MMBN4: "Repliroid swrd cuts 3 times". --(NO) * - "Enter command." ----------------------------------------------- [001] : Cerveau's room? Go through the commander's room to the right, and it's the room right in front of you. It's convenient that the base is so big now, but it sure is easy to get lost! Rocinolle :{1} The lull in attacks from Neo Arcadia had me optimistic... But it seems they're on the move... I just hope they don't come here... For my job, the quieter things are, the better. {2} Ah, yes...if you have some time, do visit old Andrew. Let's see, I think he's on the 3rd floor. Oh! Speaking of old Andrew, I just remembered... This disk belongs to old Andrew. But since he's no good with machines, you just go ahead and take it. * - She provides Secret Disk 167. {3} Have you studied what's on that disk? You see, that was an ID card from when old Andrew worked at a bread factory. Hmm... I wonder how young he was back then... He's such an enigma. Pic :{1} Hey, hey! How's the new guy doing? Oh, pardon me! Can't keep calling the legendary 'roid the "new guy"! It's been so boring since that Elpizo left here. No one complains when I skip work, And [sic] I don't have any stories to tell. There's just no excitement anymore. {2} Did you take the disk lying there? That disk is pretty much just my personal profile. Wonder what would possess someone to write about me... It was as accurate as could be, but surely there's something more interesting to write about. Hirondelle:{1} Hey there, Zero! Have you heard? The appearance of omega, who has the same signature as the Dark Elf, has caused a rift in our world. The rift is called Cyberspace. A mysterious doorway connects it to the real world. Inside Cyberspace, Cyber-elf abilities auto-activate. {2} Oh, yes... About Cyberspace... Want to know more? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) Then let me explain. Some elves activate when you go into Cyberspace... But not all elves do. Only elves with the A mark on the lower left of the icon activate. They activate even when not grown, and they also don't die. There are also no penalties for using elves! But, when you enter Cyberspace, you lose five mission points. Also, in Cyberspace you get no Secret Disks from foes. And you can't fight bosses while still inside! -(Not really...) Oh, is that right? That's fine, if you already know. -------------------------------------------- [ Level 3 ] Andrew :{1} What's this? You must be the new whippersnapper! ...hah, I'm kidding. Even MY memory isn't quite that bad! {2} By the way, son... Where's the young lad with the long blonde hair, who was in the commander's room until just recently? Well, it's nothing really. There was just this thing... {3} Hey, Zero... When you have a moment, won't you listen to my story? Can I tell you? -------------------------------------------- -(Yes) A long time ago... I was a teacher at a school... Back then, there were many humans... It is no falsehood to say we lived in harmony together... I have so many good memories of those days... The one I remember most vividly is when we went on a picnic. There was a girl who had forgotten to bring her lunch... And when lunchtime came, she sat alone by herself. All her friends were too busy talking and eating to notice. She had a hard time fitting in. Didn't speak up much... She didn't know how to tell her friends she forgot lunch. When I saw her, I figured that as much had happened. So I gave her some doughnuts I had made that morning. Oh? Bored already? --(Yes) Ah, bored I see... There's more I want to tell you, but, oh well... --(No) You know, before I taught, I worked at a bread factory. And before that I was a sailor. Oops... Went off track... I was telling you about my giving the girl a doughnut. She didn't thank me and ran off with her head bowed... I thought she was going off to be with her friends... But on the way home, The [sic] girl got off the bus and gave me something. It was a short letter and a piece of clover. The letter said: "Mr. Andrew, I'm sorry I didn't find you a 4-leaf clover" Written in tiny letters. That was her way of saying "Thank you." Whenever I pass by the harbor where the school was, I recall the sweet voices of children calling to me, "Mr. Andrew"... -(No) I see... no time eh? Can't be helped... Sorry to bother you when you're busy... -------------------------------------------- [005] : Ah, Mr. Zero. I was just cleaning this room, and I came across a Secret Disk. It must be around somewhere. If you find it, it's yours. [ Level 2 ] Hibou :{1} Hi-ya, Zero! It's been 2 months since Mr. Elpizo left here. I wonder when I'll be promoted to commander... I don't think there is a more qualified successor... If that weren't possible, I might be an operator instead! {2} Busy, busy, busy! I think I work the hardest of everyone here at the base! Zero, when you see everyone, tell them how hard I work! [002] : Ah, Mr. Zero! Good to see you! I'm taking a break after patrolling the second floor. So, don't think I'm just slacking off. [ Level 1 ] Perroquiet:{1} Nice to meet you, my name is Perroquiet. Oh, it's Mr. Zero! Sorry about that. I have poor vision. But that aside, Ms. Ciel's research is just incredible. Incomplete as it is, I think that the miracle of undying Cyber-elves shows the fruits of her labor. {2} About Cyber-elves... Want to know more? -------------------------------------------- -(Sure) Ms. Ciel's research says that there are 2 types of elves: Fusion elves, and Satellite elves. Fusion elves perish, as it has always been. For example, when an elf turn in a Sub Tank or destroys some enemy units. Then, there's the newer type, the Satellite elves. These elves can be equipped and removed freely, and they won't perish. But, you can only equip two at a time. One each in Satellite 1 and Satellite 2. There is no penalty for using Satellite elves. Some Fusion elves can be upgraded into Satellites. -(No thanks...) Is that so? I'm the type tha won't quit talking. So I can understand if you don't really want to listen. -------------------------------------------- Autruche :{1} Hello, Mr. Zero. I'm sure you've forgotten my name. I'm Autruche. I've been carrying loads around here for years. Sometimes I wish I could do something else, but there just isn't anything that I'm good at... Sorry, I didn't mean to gripe to you, Mr. Zero. {2} Keep up the good work, Mr. Zero. I'll be working hard too... Yes indeed... Menart :{1} Oh, it's you, Zero. I just can't stand work! My job? My job is to watch the harbor all day. All day, every day! Heh, just kidding. If that Hibou heard me say that he'd sure be mad. {2} Oh, hey! I found this disk underneath this load... Do you want it? -------------------------------------------- -(Sure...) Well... You're not expecting to get it for free, are you? Let me think... Alright! You can have it if you answer my question. Do you know that small Reploid down the hall? The one that carries a book with him wherever he goes. Answer me this! What's his name? --(Menart) Uh... I'M Menart! How could you forget my name! --(Perroquiet) So, you knew. Very well, then. Here, take it, as I promised! * - He provides Secret Disk 175. -(No thanks...) Hmm... Well if you don't want it, you won't have it. -------------------------------------------- {3} About the disk I gave you... To tell you the truth, I don't know what's on it. #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$ $# Resistance Base - Cerveau's laboratory #$ #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$ Cerveau : Hey, Zero! You're all right! I heard the news. Despite the new energy, the world is still not at peace. I never thought peace would be easy, but still... ... Anyway, I just finished a new weapon for you. I also fixed your S.Boomerang! Here, take it! * - He provides the Recoil Rod and the S.Boomerang. Cerveau : Oh, one more thing. About Secret Disks. Secret Disks contain things that you can't decode, right? Well, I can analyze them for you, so stop by anytime. You can also talk to me if you ever want to look at the contents of a disk we've already analyzed. T:Operator: Mr. Zero... Please come to the commander's room, immediately. Cerveau : Hmm? Zero, they're asking for you. * - Zero starts to leave. Zero : This Recoil Rod looks easy to use. Thanks. * - He exits the room. Cerveau : The world is too much for Ciel to bear alone...

Are you ready? We've simulated our options based on the information at hand. I've had the results prepared in the form of missions. The first two are... Missions to prevent Neo Arcadia getting the Dark Elf. The other two are... Guerilla attacks on Neo Arcadia. to [sic] protect everyone from its threat. ... ... Zero...is fighting our only option? I mean, we've developed this new energy... I thought the world would finally be at peace... Do we really have to keep fighting? Zero : Ciel... You're already doing the best you can. And you're not alone. Leave the rest to us. Ciel : Ze...Zero... Operator 1: Mr. Zero, we're ready. You can leave at any time. Select a mission? ----------------------------------------------------------- -(YES) Operator 1: Displaying the available missions: -(NO) Operator 1: Whenever you're ready, just let me know. ----------------------------------------------------------- #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# $# Resistance Base - Social Script #$ #$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$# [ Level 4 ] Ciel :{1} Zero...I guess I got out of control back there.

Operator 1: Your orders, please. ----------------------------------------------- -(Select mission) Displaying the available missions: -(Transfer back) Where to transfer? ----------------------------------------------- Cerveau :{1} Oh, Zero... Sorry I couldn't fix up your weapons in time... Since there haven't been any attacks from Neo Arcadia... I thought I'd just upgrade your weapons instead... But it ended up taking more time than I expected... Sorry about that... But I was able to make some pretty good improvements to your weapons. By the way...about your Recoil Rod... Do you want to know how to use it? -------------------------------------------- -(Sure do.) I see, I see! The Recoil Rod can blast enemies with a charge, and you can also aim down and shoot to fly up into the air! Certain barriers can only be destroyed with the charge attack, so don't hesitate to give it a try. Doigt and I spent a month putting it together for you, so use it well! Of course, the trick with new weapons it to give them a try, and get used to them! -(Not really...) I see. You don't even care at all, do you? If Doigt could hear that from outside of the room he'd sure be disappointed. -------------------------------------------- {2} I got so caught up in making your weapons... that I worked for 10 days without taking any E-Crystals, and almost ended up shutting down. Hah hah hah... Oh yes... I have something to give to you. It's no use to me anyway, so have this disk. * - He provides Secret Disk 092. {3} You can get disks from all kinds of people.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, quickly progressing degenerative brain disorder that is invariably fatal. About 300 to 400 cases occur each year in the United States. Nearly 75 percent of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease patients die within one year. CJD belongs to a family of human and animal diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (also known as prion diseases).
There are three major categories of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease based on etiology:
(approximately 85 percent of CJD cases)
The disease occurs sporadically or spontaneously, with no apparent cause and is due to a modification of the normal prion protein.
(approximately 10 to 15 percent of CJD cases)
The disease occurs by genetic mutation. Genetic prion diseases include genetic CJD, fatal familial insomnia (FFI), and Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease (GSS). Affected individuals often have a family history of prion disease.
(less than 1 percent of CJD cases)
CJD can be transmitted through medical procedures with contaminated equipment or tissue (e.g., cadaveric human growth hormone, pituitary derived gonadotropins, dura mater grafts, corneal transplants); this is called iatrogenic CJD. Another form of the disease — variant CJD — is transmitted through eating beef that is infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease.
The onset of symptoms typically occurs at about age 60 often with signs and symptoms of dementia, imbalance, incoordination, and/or visual symptoms.
In diagnosing Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, the first concern is to rule out treatable forms of dementia, such as encephalitis.
There is no treatment that can cure or control CJD; treatment is aimed at alleviating symptoms and making the patient as comfortable as possible in addition to providing the family with adequate support and resources. Our staff works closely with the National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center and the CJD Foundation to assist with the diagnosis and support of individuals affected by prion diseases.

COLUMBIA — Battle High School's Eli White — aka "Crazy Ray" — might well rattle the most shoulder pads on the school's football team.
And he does so without ever playing a snap.
Jackson High School (5-1-) at Battle High School (5-1)
When: 7 p.m.
Where: Battle High School
Before Tuesday's practice, White hung out under the breezeway adjacent to Battle's locker room. About 4:30 p.m., football players began emerging from the room, tightening the straps on their pads and pulling on practice jerseys. Several Spartans came White's way, offering a fist-bump or a slap on the shoulder. He smiled so big that his eyes were mere slits, and as the mass of players headed toward the field, he filed in with them.
The players began stretching, filling the half of the field closest to the gym. White strolled through the neat rows they had formed, pausing occasionally to joke with a player or shake a hand. As the Spartans finished limbering up, he made his way over to the bench on the near sideline and sat down next to Alex Hedgcoth, a lineman who's out with a strained quad.
White and Hedgcoth discussed the finer points of Big Show's return to WWE's "Monday Night Raw" — the wrestling superstar knocked out an unsuspecting Triple-H in his return from being fired. When they'd exhausted wrestling, their conversation turned to football.
Sporting a Baltimore Ravens jersey, White shared one of his favorite memories: a trip to Baltimore to see a Ravens' preseason game. The trip was a birthday present, and he'd been lucky to snag a receiver's gloves from a Ravens player after the game.
White is a huge Ravens fan and an even bigger Ray Lewis fan, which led to the "Crazy Ray" nickname. He loves the Ray Lewis dance and does one, from time to time, to get the Spartans pumped up.
"I motivate the team," White said. "I tell 'em like Ray Lewis said ... 'We hit everything that moves today.'"
White is a junior with a disability at Battle. While he's not officially a football player, he's certainly a member of the team. Through his love for the game, he's created a unique role for himself on the Spartans' sideline: motivator. He's forged special relationships with some of the players and coaches, and his smile is a contagious fixture on Battle's sideline.
While White doesn't get to knock heads on the field, he smacks plenty of pads on the sidelines. When a Battle player makes a big play, it's not uncommon to see White clap him on the shoulder, rattling his pads, and say "good job." And like all battle-ready players, White dons his Spartans game jersey on Friday nights — he wears No. 53.
White earned his spot on the team after one of his teachers put a bug in Cedric Alvis' ear. Alvis, the Spartans defensive coordinator and a special educator at Battle, said he was told about a young man with a passion for football, a student who would make a great manager on the team.
White and Alvis began working together with the football team. White started spending time in the film room, participating in game walk-throughs and shadowing the defense at practice. As he grew more comfortable, White began to bounce around at practice, spending time with offense, defense and special teams, Alvis said.
Although White can't play football, Alvis said, "It doesn't matter."
"He can't play, but we have a lot of kids on the sideline who can't play. So with that being said, he's just another kid who comes out and loves football. He's another member of the team," Alvis said.
Alvis, the only other Spartan whose ear-to-ear smile rivals that of White, used one word to describe the team's motivator and manager: joy.
"I've never seen the kid in a bad mood," Alvis said. "He's ... a reminder to our kids ... of the blessing" it is to be able to play the game.
"Pretty much what you see ... is what you get," said Melissa White, Eli's mother. "He loves being around people, talking to people, being involved. He's always in a happy mood."
And the Spartans are happy to have him on the sideline as a teammate.

Red and processed meat increases risk of death
For all those that still eat meat BEWARE!!!
Actually I still eat meat maybe once per day, but definitely need to cut down on at least the reds.
Edited ( this ads credibility to the China Study , which of course is a good thing)
I heard that new study mentioned on the radio yesterday. I'm happy to know that this knowledge is being discussed in the media, finally!
One of John Robbins books (Diet for a New America, I think) mentions that after it came out, meat consumption in America decreased by about 20%. Then the deep pockets of the meat lobby threw out their propaganda confusing people saying things like "Meat products are part of a healthy, balanced diet and studies show they actually provide a sense of satisfaction and fullness that can help with weight control. Proper body weight contributes to good health overall." . Most sheep (oops!! I mean people) get confused, don't know who to believe and instead of thinking for themselves they go back to what they enjoy. John Robbins refers to this exact phenomenon. You can bet that in the next little while there will be headlines about how important red meat is, necessary for iron and protein and whatever else they come up with. Then the general public will go back to their usual meat eating. Pessimistic...maybe, realistic...absolutely!!

Descripción The invention described herein was made in the performance of work under a NASA contract and is subject to the provisions of Section 305 of the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, Public Law 83-568 (72 Stat. 435; 42 USC 2457). This is a division of application Ser. No. 718,103, filed Aug. 27, 1976, now issued on Oct. 31, 1978, as U.S. Pat. No. 4,123,396. 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to metal-containing polymeric microspheres and to a method of preparing such materials and to the use thereof in catalysis and a labelling, separation and analysis of protein materials. 2. Description of the Prior Art. The isolation and characterization of cell membrane and their components is essential for an understanding of the role in which surface membranes play in regulating a wide variety of biological and immunological activities. The present techniques used for this purpose are not quite satisfactory. Knowledge of the nature, number and distribution of specific receptors on cell surfaces is of central importance for an understanding of the molecular basis underlying such biological phenomena as cell-cell recognition in development, cell communication and regulation by hormones and chemical transmitters, and differences in normal and tumor cell surfaces. In previous studies, the localization of antigens and carbohydrate residues on the surface of cells, notably red blood cells and lymphocytes, has been determined by bonding antibodies or lectins to such macromolecules as ferritin, hemocyanin or peroxidase which have served as markers for transmission electron microscopy. With advances in high resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM), however, the topographical distribution of molecular receptors on the surfaces of cell and tissue specimens can be readily determined by similar histochemical techniques using newly developed markers resolvable by SEM. Recently commercially available polystyrene latex particles have been utilized as immunologic markers for use in the SEM technique. The surface of such polystyrene particles is hydrophobic and hence certain types of macromolecules such as antibodies are absorbed on the surface under carefully controlled conditions. However, such particles stick non-specifically to many surfaces and molecules and this seriously limits their broad application. The preparation of small, stable spherical particles which are bio-compatible, i.e., do not interact non-specifically with cells or other biological components and which contain functional groups to which specific proteins and other bio-chemical molecules can be covalently bonded is disclosed in copending application Ser. No. 434,124, filed Jan. 17, 1974 now issued on May 18, 1976, as U.S. Pat. No. 3,957,741. Smaller, more evenly shaped microspheres are disclosed in Ser. No. 634,935, filed Nov. 24, 1975, now issued on Feb. 6, 1979, as U.S. Pat. No. 4,138,383 and microspheres having a density differing from that of cell membranes are disclosed in Ser. No. 634,429, filed Nov. 24, 1975, now issued on July 12, 1977, as U.S. Pat. No. 4,035,316. The hydroxyl groups can be activated by cyanogen bromide for covalent bonding of proteins and other chemicals containing amino groups to the polymeric latex. Methacrylic acid residues which impart a negative charge onto the particles are likely to prevent non-specific binding to cell surfaces and to provide carboxyl groups to which a variety of bio-chemical molecules can be covalently bonded using the carbodiimide method. Cross-linking of the polymeric matrix is preferable in order to maintain the stability and size of the particles in both aqueous solution and in organic solvents commonly used in the fixation and dehydration of biological specimans for electron or light microscopy. These polymeric microspheres ranging in diameter from 300 A to 2000 A have been successfully utilized as biocompatible immunochemical markers of red cells and lymphocytes in scanning electron and light microscopy. The variable density microspheres have been utilized in separation of labeled cells to which they are attached. The metal containing microspheres can be readily detected by x-ray electron probe methods since the presence of metal causes the microspheres to be electron dense. Optimum catalysis requires both selectivity and efficiency. A metal containing functional microsphere prepared by polymerization of the microsphere in presence of finely divided metal particles or compounds thereof has been disclosed in Ser. No. 694,151 filed June 9, 1976, now abandoned. However, the distribution of metal within the microspheres is on a random basis, since it is difficult to maintain the particles suspended during polymerization. Impregnation or porous polymeric microspheres on the surfaces of non-porous microspheres with aqueous solutions of metal compounds is not effective since the metal salt dissolves during use in aqueous media. Polymeric microspheres containing controlled and uniform distribution of metal atoms are readily custom synthesized according to the invention. Porosity, hydrophilic properties and type and amount of covalent bonding sites are a result of selection of monomer and polymerization conditions of the microsphere substrate. The metal containing microspheres will find use in a variety of industrial olefin addition processes such as hydrogenation. The catalysts have excellent selectivity due to the control of porosity, metal content and spacing and surface area of the microspheres. Functionally substituted metal-polymeric microspheres have a significant density differential from protein and will find use in separation of labelled cells or cell fragments. The metal containing microspheres are electron dense and can readily be detected by x-ray electron probe methods. Protein labelled with functional polymeric microspheres containing magnetically attractable particles such as iron or magnetite can be separated from non-labelled protein by applying a magnetic field to the cell mixture. The metal-containing microspheres are hydrolytically stable, biocompatible and have good mechanical strength. The microspheres are of well characterized structure, of outstanding purity and the hydrophilic properties, size, mechanical properties and metal distribution and content can be systematically varied by selection of reactants and conditions. The metal containing microspheres are synthesized by impregnation of polymeric microspheres containing amine groups, preferably tertiary amine, with an aqueous solution of metal salt or acid to form an ionic or coordination complex between the amine groups and the metal atoms. The metal is found to be firmly attached to the microspheres. Further reaction of the metal-containing microspheres with a reducing agent results in reduction of the metal salt or acid to finely divided, preferably atomic size, black metal particles in a zero or near zero valence state dispersed throughout the microsphere which are in a highly catalytically active form. Reduction of the metal compounds is also desirable for bioassay since metal is a more unreactive state than the precursor metal compound. By utilizing less than the stoichiometric amount of metal with respect to amine, the distance between catalytic centers can be controlled. These and many other features and attendant advantages of the invention will become apparent as the invention becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a series of curves showing the volume of H2 absorbed in ml as ordinate versus time in minutes as abscissa by the hydrogenation of 1-hexene with poly-4-vinyl pyridine containing 20% by weight of platinum; and FIG. 2 is a curve showing hydrogenation rate in ml absorbed H2 /min. versus amount of catalyst in mg for the hydrogenation of 1-hexene with the catalytic microspheres of this invention. The polymeric microsphere is a solid particulate support containing an amine ligand capable of ionic reaction or coordination with a metal containing acid or salt. The amine ligand is preferably a tertiary amine such as CH2 NMe2,--PhNMe2, -pyridyl and the like. The ligand is preferably pendant from the polymer backbone. Representative polymers are cross-linked polystyrene-divinylbenzene substituted with --CH2 NMe2, polyethylene imine, polyvinylbenzimidazole and polyvinylpyridine. The polymeric support must be insoluble in the polymerization and in the catalytic olefin addition reaction media. The polymeric support may be in the form of particles, sheets, films, strands, hollow fibers or as a coating on a surface. The polymeric substrate is preferably a high area substrate such as a porous particle having a diameter below 100 microns or coated onto a high area inert carrier such as glass particles. Vinyl pyridine polymers in which the monomer mixture contains at least 20% by weight of vinyl pyridine are preferred due to the ready availability of the pendant pyridyl group for ionic or coordinating reaction with the metal atom. 2-vinyl, 4-vinyl or 2-methyl, 5-vinyl pyridine polymers are suitable. The polymers may be obtained commercially, or can be prepared according to procedures disclosed in application, Ser. No. 671,085, filed Mar. 29, 1976, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. The monomer mixture contains at least 20% by weight of vinyl pyridine, preferably at least 50% by weight. The remaining comonomers are soluble in the aqueous medium, compatible, unsaturated compounds capable of addition polymerization with vinyl pyridine. The comonomers preferably contain a hydrophilic group such as carboxyl, amino or hydroxyl. Mono-unsaturated comonomers are suitably selected from amino, carboxyl or hydroxyl substituted acrylic monomers. Exemplary comonomers are acrylamide (AM), methacrylamide (MAM), acrylic acid, methacrylic acid (MA), dimethylaminomethacrylate or hydroxyl-lower alkyl- or amino-lower-alkyl-acrylates such as those of the formula: ##STR1## where R1 is hydrogen or lower alkyl of 1-8 carbon atoms, R2 is alkylene of 1-12 carbon atoms, and Z is --OH or R3 --N--R4 where R3 or R4 are individually selected from H, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy of 1-8 carbon atoms. 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 3-hydroxypropyl methacrylate and 2-aminoethyl methacrylate are readily available commercially. Porosity and hydrophilicity increase with increasing concentration of a hydrophilic comonomer. Water soluble polyunsaturated compounds also provide higher surface area and hydrophilicity and additionally provide cross-linked beads which are more regular in shape and less likely to agglomerate. The polyunsaturated compounds are suitably a liquid diene or triene polyvinyl compound such as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, trimethylol propane trimethacrylate, N,N-methylene-bis-acrylamide (BAM) or piperazine ethyl methacrylate. Vinyl pyridines suitable for use in the invention are 2-vinyl pyridine, 4-vinyl pyridine and 2-methyl-5-vinyl pyridine. 2-vinyl pyridine has, in general, been found to produce smaller beads, more resistant to agglomeration even in the absence of cross-linking agents and suspending agents. The addition of 0.05 to 5% by weight of a stabilizing agent to the aqueous polymerization system before polymerization is found to further reduce agglomeration. The stabilizing agent is suitably an aqueous soluble polymer such as a polyalkylene oxide polyether or nonionic surfactants such as Tween which are polyoxyethylene derivatives of fatty acid partial esters of sorbitol. The polyethers generally have a molecular weight from 10,000 to 10,000,000, preferably 400,000 to 6,000,000 and are polymers of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or their mixtures. Polyethylene oxides (POE) are preferred. The polymerization proceeds without catalyst and with or without stirring with application of high energy radiation capable of generating free radicals to the aqueous system. The radiation source is suitably a cobalt 60 gamma source and doses of 0.5 to 1.0 megarads are sufficient for polymerization. Increased radiation dose up to about 4 megarads or more in absence of cross-linking agent reduces agglomeration and improves the shape of the beads. The reaction is preferably conducted under oxygen excluding condition, generally by applying vacuum to the reaction vessel or by displacing oxygen gas from the system with an inert gas such as nitrogen. After polymerization has proceeded to completion, the polymerization suspension is centrifuged, washed and the trapped water is then removed by azeotropic distillation or freeze drying to yield white, round microspheres at least 80% of which and preferably 90% of which have an average diameter of less than 100 microns, preferably from 100 A to 60 microns and a standard deviation in most cases of no more than 5-40%. The microspheres can be coalesced into a film by application to a substrate such as a planar surface or particulate surface such as glass beads or polymerized in situ in the presence of the substrate to form a coated substrate. The film consists of a high concentration of microspheres. The size of the microspheres is dependent on monomer concentration. The vinyl pyridine monomers are soluble in water up to about 3%. Copolymerization with water soluble monomers permits increased water solubility of the monomer mixture up to 6-10% or more. Microspheres produced at 3% vinyl pyridine monomer concentration or less will have a diameter below 3500 A. Solubility of the vinyl pyridine is increased by the addition of a water-miscible solvent therefor such as by replacing up to 50% by weight of the water with a lower alkanol or di or trialkanol such as methanol. The polymerization rate is considerably decreased requiring irradiation of the solution for a longer period. Examples of practice follow. 4-vinyl pyridine (2.7 g) and bisacrylamide (0.3 g) were irradiated in an aqueous solution containing 0.1% polyethylene oxide (M.W. 600,000) and 3% total monomer with 1.2 megarads from a Co-60 gamma source. The diameter of the microspheres obtained was 2300 A. The metal is added to the beads as an aqueous solution of an acid or salt of the metal such as a transition metal compound of metals of Groups IV, VI, VII, or VIII of the Periodic Table having a valence lower than the maximum valence. Typical metals are iron, gold, palladium, platinum, cobalt, nickel, rhodium, manganese, chromium, titanium, ruthenium, tantalum or iridium. Electron dense metals suitable for bioassay are heavy metals having an atomic number above 50, preferably above 75, such as cobalt,, platinum, gold, or iron. The metal may be magnetically attractable such as Fe, Ni, Co, or alloys thereof or an inorganic magnetic compound such as a metal oxide. Representative water soluble compounds for use in impregnating the microspheres are chloroplatinic acid (H2 PtCl6.6H2 O), chloroauric acid (HAuCl4.3h2 O), nickel sulfate, nickel chloride, ferrous sulfate (FeSO4), ferrous chloride (FeCl2), cobalt chloride (CoCl2.6H2 O) or the like. The amount of metal added to the microspheres can be varied from 0.01% by weight to stoichiometric amounts based on amine content of the microsphere and is usually from 5 to 50% by weight thereof. Metal-containing acids react easily in the cold with polyvinyl pyridine forming a strong quaternary bond. Metal salts do not appear to quaternize the pyridyl groups but form a strong ionic bond therewith. Addition of a water-miscible polar or non-polar solvent for the salt such as a lower alkanol containing 1-6 carbon atoms, suitably methanol or ethanol, and/or heating the impregnating solution appears to provide better interaction of the metal salt with the tertiary amino nitrogen. The metal containing beads are reduced to the free metal or a lower valence metal compound by reaction with a water soluble reducing agent suitably a borohydride or aluminum hydride. Representative materials are cyanoborohydride, lithium aluminum hydride and sodium borohyride. The amount of reducing agent depends on the metal content of the microspheres, the initial valence of the metal and the degree of reduction desired. The reducing agent is usually added in considerable excess with respect to the microspheres, typically at least 1/1 by weight generally 2/1 to 20/1 by weight. The microspheres of Example 1 were suspended in a 10 mole % CoCl2.6H2 O ethanolic solution. An almost quantitative absorption of Co+2 was observed. Suspension of the microspheres in an ethanolic solution containing 1:1 molar ratio yielded a higher Co+2 content. The microspheres of Example 1 were suspended in an absolute ethanolic solution of anhydrous FeCl3 at a 1:1 molar ratio. An almost quantitative absorption of Fe+3 was observed. The PVP microspheres (100 mg) were suspended in 5 cc of aqueous methanol (15%) to which was added 400 mg of chloroauric acid. After reaction for one (1) hour at room temperature, the lightly yellow supernatant was separated by centrifugation and the dark yellow microspheres were washed several times with methanol and re-suspended in methanol. 0.2 g of NaBH4 in 70 cc of H2 O was added and left overnight. The black microspheres were then passed through a mixed ion-exchange resin, bed, centrifuged several times and redispersed in water. Analysis showed the microspheres contained 30% gold. 100 mg of the PVP microspheres of Example 1 in 5 cc of water were treated with varying amounts of 5% solution of chloroplatinic acid, and then separated and reduced according to the procedure of Example 5. The resulting microspheres containing 20% by weight of platinum (6.0, 4.0, 3.1 and 2.0 mg) were utilized to hydrogenate 1-hexene (0.2 ml/10 ml methanol) at 24.5° C. The olefin was hydrogenated in 100% yield at room temperature and pressure demonstrating that the finely divided platinum metal associated with the PVP microsphere is a very active, high surface area heterogenous catalyst. This is surprising since pyridine nitrogen usually poisons platinum catalysts. FIGS. 1 and 2 show that the rate of hydrogenation is dependent on the amount of platinum relative to olefin. Example 4 was repeated with a PVP copolymer prepared by irradiating an aqueous solution containing 2% total monomer including 60% 4-VP, 30% acrylamide and 10% bisacrylamide. The resulting beads (1000 angstroms in diameter) containing 30% gold are electron dense. These microspheres do not exhibit non-specific binding to living cells, e.g. murine lymphocytes and were found to be capable of binding to antibodies by the cyanogen bromide or carbodiimide reaction, J.
