ASHLAND — In high school, Joe Horn and Blaine Maag dominated in track and field.Now at Ashland University, the two former high-school standouts are picking up right where they left off.Horn, a redshirt freshman from Waynesfield-Goshen High School, is part of a 400-meter relay team that has recorded the fourth-fastest time in the nation (NCAA Division II) this season, clocking a time of 40.85 seconds.In his senior year at Waynesfield in 2006, Horn swept the 100-meter, the 200-meter, the 400-meter dashes and anchored the winning 800-meter relay team to lead Waynesfield to its first-ever state title in track and field.Horn is still displaying his versatility by being utilized in many events this spring — including the decathlon. AU track coach Jud Logan said Horn is quite capable of scoring points in several events."He did not get to run with us last year because of spring football," Logan said. "This year, he's going to score a ton of points for us at the conference meet."He'll do the one (100-meter dash) and two (200 dash), the open 400, the four-by-one (400 relay) and the four-by-four (1,600 relay)."Horn also played wide receiver for the AU football team this past fall. He caught seven passes for 61 yards in the nine games in which he saw action.Maag, a former two-time state champion in the discus from Columbus Grove, is making his mark for AU in the throwing circle. He has already provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships in both the discus and shot put."He's the purest athlete on the team," Logan said. "He's decided that football was starting to take a toll on his body, so he's now focusing on track and field. We're happy that he's decided to do that."Maag is not the only Columbus Grove graduate showing promise on the AU track team. Cory Meuleman, a freshman, is being redshirted this spring. Like Maag, Meuleman was a two-time state champion for Columbus Grove in the discus."I like what Rick Maag (Columbus Grove throwing coach and Blaine Maag's father) has done there at Columbus Grove," Logan said. "With Cory Meuleman, we expect big things out of him. We decided to red-shirt Cory. But, he'll surprise a lot of people next year."Sophomore Kayla King — also a Columbus Grove grad — is throwing for the women's team this spring.KOPILCHACK LEADING RAIDERS: Wright State University senior John Kopilchack (Shawnee) is among the leaders on the baseball team this spring.Kopilchack is eighth on the team with a .297 batting average. He is third in the Horizon League in home runs (9), first in triples (5), fifth in total bases (88) and sixth in slugging percentage (.607).Kopilchack was named the Horizon League Player of the Week for the week ending April 21. WSU is 21-17 on the year.PETERS HITTING WELL: Senior Jeff Peters (Lima Central Catholic) is among the leaders for the University of Findlay baseball team this spring.Peters is batting .295 with seven home runs (second on team) and 20 RBI (fourth). UF is 24-19 on the season.

Smokehouse Tavern: High Fashion Goes Down Home
An Interview with Barry Manilow
There have been murmurings about the existence of an organization made up of reps from the Portland chapter of Etsy, PNCA, and the Museum of Contemporary Craft, but its mission seemed rather nebulous. Called I Heart Art, it's a pilot project "to support and advocate for Portland's vibrant community of makers by fostering dialogue, inspiring activity and offering access to resources that are otherwise difficult to find." Tomorrow, though is the official launch, where they will reveal the upcoming year of programming (think small business development workshops) over drinks and food provided by them. Whatever the project winds up looking like, every single one of the organizations involved is pretty kickass, so plugging in with them is probably a safe bet. The party is happening at the Jack London Bar, tomorrow from 6-9 pm, where you can network and pre-register for their workshops at a discounted rate.

This kit was originally developed for the DC version. I have now adapted some of the parts to fit the DCC version. Scroll down to the bottom for instructions specific for the DCC version. Now for some pictures.First, a before and after comparison.Then some of a nearly finished model. Next,I'll be showing how I did the conversion with the parts available so far.]]> pinddle 2012-07-28T14:02:09-00:00 Re: N to HOn30 Steam loco conversion project http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52032&th=10372#msg_52032 Some are still being developed (see first post). I'll start with the locomotive. Part 1. Remove the body from the chassis, you need to remove the handrails from the rear of the cab and unclip the front steps from the smokebox.Pull the body up from the cab end and then push forward.The cab pulls off from the body.To remove the pilot,loosen the front screw on the keeper plate.This allows you to remove the pony truck,giving you access to the screw holding the pilot in place.The new pilot is a direct replacement for this. You should have a pile of bits like this: On the body,remove the chimney and domes (the rear one is held on by a screw).Remove the airpump and the foot board that went over it. To allow the new cab to fit,a small part of the front of the footplate has to be removed.See below. The pipes under the right side of the cab are cut back,as the new cab will be in the way.See above. ]]> pinddle 2012-07-28T15:47:20-00:00 Re: N to HOn30 Steam loco conversion project http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52033&th=10372#msg_52033 Test fit the parts.The new cab fits the same way as the original. Now things can a bit complicated.If you refit the body onto the chassis, you'll find something sticking out where one of the new domes is to go. [A new hollow dome is now available in a new detail set. The mod shown below is not needed if you are using the new detail set.] This problem can be solved with a bit of bodging.Remove the body and the weight at the front of the chassis.Unless you plan the use it somehow,remove the lightboard from the front of the chassis,cutting the wires close to the joints. The tabs projecting up can be broken off at the hole in them.This still leaves enough exposed metal for the wires to make contact. Place the wires over the remains of the tabs and wedge something non-conducting in between them to hold them in place.I used a small piece of wood. ]]> pinddle 2012-07-28T16:02:17-00:00 Re: N to HOn30 Steam loco conversion project http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52035&th=10372#msg_52035 The completed chassis: Refit the body and test fit the domes. If you are happy with the fit of parts, it's on to the airbrake. I used a piece of 0.5mm dia. brass rod to mount the airbrake onto the small block that the original one was mounted on.I drilled a small hole into the back side of the pump and glued the rod into it. New footboards were made from 5mm wide strips of thin plastic card and glued onto the existing footboards.Some of the boiler side plumbing will need adjusting to make room for these.The arrow points to where the airpump will be mounted. The domes and chimney can now be glued in place, filling any gaps around their bases.Now is the time to paint the separate parts before final assembly and glueing the airbrake in place.The parts here are unpainted so you can see them! ]]> pinddle 2012-07-28T17:02:21-00:00 Re: N to HOn30 Steam loco conversion project http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52038&th=10372#msg_52038 There are two options here: 1.The simpler option is use one of my tenders complete with trucks.Just add some weight and make a drawbar to connect it to the loco. 2.The more complicated one, which I shall detail here, is to use the donor tender chassis plus a new body.This has the advantage of retaining the all wheel pick-up of the original chassis. Part.1 Some pics of the tenders alongside. Remove the trucks and N gauge coupler.Remove the insert in the top of the body by pushing a screwdriver up through the rear truck pivot hole.Remove the weight. Remove the footsteps from around the bottom of the chassis.]]> pinddle 2012-07-28T18:32:26-00:00 Re: N to HOn30 Steam loco conversion project http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52039&th=10372#msg_52039 Cut off the front of the body, using the first vertical row of rivets as a guide.The cut doesn't have to be neat,see next stage. Cut off remaining three sides of the body, above the chassis.Take care not to damage the conductor strips inside. Remove the small pillars at the corners. Cut down the truck mounts so that they are flush with the small bits of plastic either side of them.Make a cut out at the rear for the Micro-Trains coupler. Test fit into the body, make adjustments if needed.]]> pinddle 2012-07-28T18:41:43-00:00 Re: N to HOn30 Steam loco conversion project http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52040&th=10372#msg_52040 Remove the rear pillar from inside the upper insert.About 5mm will do. Glue this onto the rear truck mount, top side of chassis.Use the mounting screw to hold it in place (centered).(I used plastic weld for this). Glue some 1mm plastic card to top of chassis, between the conductive strips, to support the weight.I used part of the upper insert for this. Glue the weight to this support.Refit the trucks and drawbar. Mount a Micro-Trains 1015 coupler to the rear of the new body and place onto chassis.Make a lid for the rear toolbox from some thin plastic card. That's it for now.Any Questions? ]]> pinddle 2012-07-28T18:53:09-00:00 Re: N to HOn30 Steam loco conversion project http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52051&th=10372#msg_52051 To get a smooth finish on the roof, the method I use is to paint (acrylic), and sand when dry.Repeat until a smooth finish is achieved.This photo was taken mid-process. ]]> pinddle 2012-07-29T10:08:59-00:00 Re: N to HOn30 Steam loco conversion project http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52678&th=10372#msg_52678 I'll post photos when I get around to fitting them.]]> pinddle 2012-08-15T22:06:00-00:00 Re: N to HOn30 Steam loco conversion project http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=52795&th=10372#msg_52795 The light is painted silver on the inside.It has some micro krystal klear in the opening for the lens.There is room inside for a very small LED if you want to make it work.]]> pinddle 2012-08-17T22:41:41-00:00 Re: N to HOn30 Steam loco conversion project http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=75171&th=10372#msg_75171 A new set of detail parts is available (in FUD only). This includes all the parts needed for one loco. The domes are now hollow, the tabs that stick on the chassis can be left in place now. A new addition is the turbo generator. This needs a small hole drilled into it (0.5mm) and some brass rod (or similar) glued into the hole to form the exhaust pipe. The part you are drilling into is 1mm wide. Remove the old N scale part from the model, fill the hole left behind, and glue the new one in place. Or it could be place behind the stack.]]> pinddle 2013-09-21T06:04:16-00:00 Re: N to HOn30 Steam loco conversion project http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=81002&th=10372#msg_81002 For the loco it should be the same as per DC. The wiring will look a bit different, but if you are using the new hollow domes you shouldn't need to touch that. The tender needs less work than before. Remove the body by unclipping it. Also removed the coupler lifting bar at the rear. Unplug the lead from the loco. Cut off the footsteps. Now for the only major work, two lumps of metal at the front of the chassis need to be removed (marked in red). You are aiming for this. The new body should now fit onto the chassis. The lead from the loco passes through the hole at the front of the body. You can retain the original coupler, or remove it and fit a Microtrains 1015 as before. The gap between loco and tender is less than before, but it should go round most curves. Note - I have designed two tenders for this conversion. The Low one is the same height as the DC version. This has a hole in the coal space to allow room for the plug. This can be hidden with a coal load. The High one is 2mm taller than the DC one. The plug is completely hidden, but the tender top is smooth with no coal space. This can also be hidden with a coal load.]]> pinddle 2013-12-10T23:09:53-00:00

loss of kernel selection menu
I'm running RH9 Linux and have GeForce2 Ti card. After installing driver Linux-86-1.0-4363run, I no longer have the kernel selection menu at bootup. I have kernels 2.4.20-8 and 2.4.20-18.9 with only the earlier (former) loading at boot. I used to have a menu which listed the available kernels with default being the latest. I would like to test the later kernel and have the menu back. I realize that the driver recompiled the kernel but I should be able to upgrade the kernel from time to time and then ugrade the driver.
Any ideas on how to do this?
The driver didn't touch your kernel. It also didn't touch your bootloader configuration.
Either you, or some package you installed, changed your bootloader's config file (and if your bootloader is lilo, it also reran /sbin/lilo). If you use Grub, look around in /boot/grub (I think) for either grub.conf or menu.lst -- that's Grub's config file. If you use lilo, edit /etc/lilo.conf. Find the setting that's not prompting you for which entry to load, and change it to prompt you (in lilo.conf, this setting is prompt up in the global settings). If you use lilo, run /sbin/lilo after updating the config file to make the changes take effect.

[ v13 p131 ]
The decision of the Authority follows:
13 FLRA No. 31 VETERANS ADMINISTRATION, HINES HOSPITAL Activity and ILLINOIS NURSES ASSOCIATION, HINES UNIT Union Case No. O-AR-301 DECISION This matter is before the Authority on an exception to the award of Arbitrator Julius Rezler filed by the Union under section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and part 2425 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations. The Agency filed an opposition. The parties submitted to arbitration an initial issue of whether the grievance in this case, which complained of a proficiency rating of satisfactory, was grievable and arbitrable under the parties' collective bargaining agreement. The Arbitrator determined under the provisions of the parties' agreement that grievances arising from dissatisfaction with proficiency ratings were excluded from the grievance procedure. Accordingly, as his award the Arbitrator ruled that the grievance was not arbitrable. In its exception the Union contends that the Arbitrator erred because there is no question that under the express provisions of the agreement, the grievance in this case is arbitrable. The Union's exception, however, clearly constitutes

Fuelish Thoughts
We are contemplating a small furnace for our 34 footer. Duct space is very tight. We will likely have to go with the smaller of their forced air furnaces, like the 30D.
In the last year though, I have identified a new problem that's coming from out of left field (there's a corn-sourced alcohol pun there somewhere...).
I now find that while I can still find "off road" diesel at marina fuel docks for the near future, there is no assurance that this fuel will stay on the market.
Like the zero choice we have for gasoline and diesel for road use, our marine fuels may also soon end up with quite a potent witches' brew of chemical additives and alcohol.
Since my boating use involves filling a tank about twice a year and then letting the diesel sit there for up to six months, I am concerned about how well this mixture will stay "mixed". I already read stories of diesel furnaces (no particular brand) with burners clogged with odd soot or whatever byproducts that arrived with the new fuel blends.
I hope that an engineer from ScanMarine can give us customers some guidance. After paying well over 2K for a little box of furnace parts, plus adding many hours of time to do the install, I want it to work without problems.
Thanks for any help.

Automatic Freedom/EFT process.
All my healing tools and processes are powered and inspired by the energy and intention of unconditional Love; they can work on every level of your being, depending on what your needs are - physical, emotional or spiritual. Using them can help you experience the underlying intelligence and presence of Love within you, a fundamental harmonious frequency in the fabric of reality and, in my opinion, the source of life.
My belief and experience is that ultimately, Love is the answer to every one of our
problems. It contains everything we need. Fear
is the opposite of Love, energetically. It the has opposite effect of Love within our body/mind. Habitual fear has damaging effects on our mental and
physical health. Learning to change fearful thoughts by being aware
of their physical impact on you is one of the most helpful things
I've discovered, and forms one of the lessons in the Applying Love e-Course. I managed to get to grips with a lifetime's
negativity and anxiety through the steps outlined. The Applying Love e-Course teaches you how
to discriminate between Love and fear, so you can take control of your
inner world and start manifesting a better outer world for yourself.
Try the first lesson of the Applying Love course free,
just send a request using the contact form.
Put 'applying Love - free lesson one' in the subject.
Automatic Freedom/EFT is a wonderful way of reducing and removing the intensity of negative emotions. Regular EFT works by focusing on your problems, but Automatic EFT focusses only on the solution. It is a gentle and rapid way to experience your ideal resourceful self, without current fears and limitations. You simply state the things you desire to be true and allow your subconscious midn to find and remove all barriers. Automatic EFT/Freedom works very gently from the perspective of Love and wholeness. It can work almost instantly to bring you new energy, inspiration and hope, enabling more positive thinking naturally! If you know you have blocks, fears and doubts but can't or don't want to find out what they are - try Automatic Freedom/EFT.
I love Quantum-Touch Energy Healing. Among all the methods I've tried over the years, it stands out as the most simple, powerful and effective. It was instrumental for me in helping cure the last remaining traces of cancer 12 years ago!
I am a qualified healing practitioner, using Quantum Touch 1 and 2 in hands-on healing sessions as well as distance healing and transformation sessions. Using the techniques of Quantum Touch 2, which does not need any physical contact, we can heal your entire history from conception through to the present day and release memories of trauma which can hold you back. We can work directly on your brain and restore a proper balance in your emotional world. This is a very interesting and liberating area of healing which leads to new ideas, possibilities and freedom. Sessions are in Palmers Green, N13. See the Our Services page. I can also visit or do distance sessions via skype so we can chat and interact during the healing process.
We are not the only ones who feel love and affection, animals also have friendships and special relationships which we can enjoy observing and learn from. Here is a link to an external site which has some great pictures of unexpected animal friendships.
Love is everywhere if we just open our eyes and look for it.

After 60 scoreless minutes, Team WHL scored three times on four attempts to beat the Russians in the shootout Wednesday in Vancouver.
Hunter Shinkurak, Mark McNeill and Sam Reinhart each tallied goals in the shootout, and WHL netminder Laurent Broissant stopped all three shots he faced. During regulation, the Flames prospect stopped 30 shots and Andei Makarov made 35 saves in the Russian net.
Lightning prospect Nikita Nesterov, who wore an A for Russia, was whistled for a pair of minor penalties in the third period, once for interference at the 2:55 mark and once for holding at 12:59. Shinkurak went to the box for a coincidental minor (unsportsmanlike conduct for embellishment) with Nesterov on the latter penalty.
Team WHL went 0-for-3 on the power play, while Russia went 0-for-2 with the man-advantage.
Trailing in points 8-7, Russia (2-2-0-1) wraps up the Subway Series against the WHL in Victoria, B.C. Thursday.

Welcome! I couldn't find Indian / Sri Lankan (Geochelone elegans) and Burmese Star tortoise (Geochelone platynota) themed products I wanted, so I created some myself and started this shop. :O) I have added some other tortoise species gifts as well (Angulate, Greek, Golden Greek, Hermann's, Leopard, Radiated, Redfoot, and Sulcata so far). Each species section contains many different designs. Almost all of my tortoise items are easily personalized and/or customized online during purchase to make them your own. If you'd like any of my designs on an item available on Zazzle, but not yet listed in my shop, just let me know. I will then add it. Thank you for stopping by. Have fun personalizing your items! :O)

We had a wonderful time. The house was great. The owners had everything. The only problem we had was that the hot water heater did not function correctly. Apparently a new one was installed. Other than that the house was wonderful, plenty of room and very safe. Pool was fantastic and very conveniently located by the beach. I would highly recommend it.
The owners are very friendly and had everything ready for our arrival. They even left us a welcome note with some biscottis. It was my mothers Bday that Friday and we had a great time. We used the BBQ and the Kareoke! The Kareoke was a plus! The villa is fully equiped. It had everything we needed and more. The pool area was really nice and so was the beach. It is also located close to everything in Dorado and most important of all in a nice and quiet area. We enjoyed our long weekend here. Thank you!
This condo far exceeded my expectations! It has something for everyone.Community is gated and well lit. Security guards are very friendly. Pool and children's play area are across the street. The spa, casino and beach are a 12 minute walk away. For the Golfer, the golf course is steps away. For the Gambler, a 12 minute walk/2 minute drive will get you to the casino. For the person looking to get out of the ratrace for a vacation, the complex is very peaceful and quiet.

Everything in the condo is well appointed: wifi, wine fridge, BBQ,wet bar, 3 terraces for entertaining or sunbathing etc. Living space, kitchen, bedrooms all quite large, well decorated and very, very clean. Already planning return visit in March 2015!
I passed all day in the pool relaxing after many days of work, unwinding and enjoying life. Watching T.V and having a friendly B.B.Q with friends. My friends and I had a great time because this is really great. A experience I will never forget are the little pond duckies chasing my sister for bread.
It is a wonderful place to stay.
It was a fabulous experience. I enjoyed my time in the pool, basketball court, tennis court and golf course which are all near the residence. The top of the Villa Elimar has a great view of the complex and all it's activities.

According to Larry Brooks of the New York Post, Henrik Lundqvist has signed a 7 year extension worth $8.5M per year. This should put any doubts about who the number 1 goalie is to rest, as Hank now becomes the highest paid goalie in the NHL. The raise is a modest $1.75 million from his current contract, so the cap hit, while large, is manageable.
Lundqvist, who turns 32 in March, has a contract that will pay him $1.5 million more than the previously highest paid goalies Pekka Rinne and Tuukka Rask. This is also the largest contract ever given to a goalie, and will likely remain the largest contract ever given to a goalie. Hank had the rare scenario of All-World talent, a team that desperately needs him, and a team with the means necessary to keep him. Plus, no goalie will be topping $8.5 million any time soon.
This season, Lundqvist has posted a 2.51 GAA and a .917 SV%, a far cry from his career numbers of 2.26 GAA and .920 SV%. But those numbers are misleading thanks to two games in California. Hank's November stats: 2.27 GAA and .924 SV%. Much more in line with his career numbers.
In Lundqvist, the Rangers have not only the highest paid goalie in the league, but the best goalie in the league. What sets Lundqvist apart from every other goalie in the league is consistency. Tim Thomas had some stellar years. Jonathan Quick had a great season. Pekka Rinne had two remarkable years. But Lundqvist is as consistent as they come. Hank has not posted a SV% below .920 in the last five seasons. The three years (06-08) he did post under a .920 SV% were seasons he arguably stood on his head every night.
In addition to consistency on the ice, Hank has been remarkably healthy over his career. The Vezina winner has never missed significant time with injury, and has only had a few bumps and bruises along the way. Considering he has eclipsed the 70-game plateau four times in his career, that is incredible.
By locking up Lundqvist to a second long term contract, the Rangers have solidified their future in net is solid until 2021, when the contract expires. The risk in a deal this long, with Hank turning 32 this March, is that he will be 39 when the deal expires. Spending $8.5 million on a 39 year old goaltender might be a little rough, but the cap isn't always going to be $64.3 million. In fact, there are already predictions of a $70 million cap for next year. Plus, Hank's contract doesn't qualify for the cap recapture penalty, so he can retire at any time. Keeping Hank in New York was always going to be a pricey endeavor thanks to the contracts handed to Pekka ($49M), Quick ($58M) and Rask ($56M), so there was really no way the Rangers were going to let Hank hit free agency.

Chad Michael Murray books ABC Family's 'Ex-Mas Carol'
Yes, you read that right - CMM has a J.O.B.! Chad Michael Murray, who you may remember from his groundbreaking role in Hilary Duff's "A Cinderella Story," or as the broody dude with a million hairstyles in Alicia Keys' "Unthinkable" video, has booked the made-for-TV ABC Family movie "The Ex-Mas Carol," with Christina Milian and "Pretty Little Liars" star Ashley Benson.Listen, we should say this: we love "One Tree Hill." Yes, it can be silly, and once included a scene where a stoned dog ate a human heart that was a murderer's last chance to live. (Or something like that.) However, it's got positive girl-power messages, strong characters, and the super-hot Austin Nichols in it, so we keep on watching.Plus, we've invested seven years in this show, and darn it, we're going to keep on watching until Brooke Davis (Sophia Bush) gets her happy ending.When stars Murray and Hilarie Burton left the show after its sixth season, fans practically revolted. There were rumors of salary disputes, and their characters have rarely been referenced since. In fact, the only explanation for their absence was in the title of the Season 7 premiere, "4:30 AM (Apparently They Were Traveling Abroad)."CMM has a history with Warner Bros.TV - his career began on "Gilmore Girls," and then he moved on to "Dawson's Creek" before landing a lead role on "One Tree Hill." We figured that he was abandoning his show to further his movie career or write a book of poetry or somehing equally compelling."The Ex-Mas Carol" doesn't really seem like the kind of thing you ditch a starring role on a long-running TV show for, though. We love Ashey Benson, but otherwise, we're not sure this is what Murray had in mind for his career. It's more or about a comatose girl who visits her Christmas past, present, and future. Did no one learn anything from "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past?"Murray used to do movies that actually aired in theaters -- like "A Cinderella Story" and "House of Wax" -- but it seems this may be another downgrade in a long and storied history of downgrades. Can Lucas Scott come back from his trip abroad now?Follow Zap2it and @cadlymack on Twitter and Zap2it on Facebook for the latest TV, movie and celebrity news.Photo: Getty

This is a division of application Ser. No. 08/512,308 filed Aug. 8, 1995 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,527,864.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a block copolymer identified as poly(propylene fumarate -co- ethylene oxide), to a method of synthesizing this block copolymer and to a method of using it.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Polymers have found significant utility in the modem world. Whenever there is a particular need for a material having a specific property or set of properties, scientists often look to polymers to meet that need. In the field of medicine, for example, there is a continuing need for polymers that meet very specific requirements. Some of the properties of a polymer that may be important in biomedical applications, include biocompatability, mechanical strength, consistency, plasticity, resiliency, permeability, crosslinking ability and biodegradability.
One polymer that has been successfully used in the field of medicine is poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF). U.S. Pat. No. 4,888,413, issued to Domb, describes some of the medical uses for PPF and various methods of synthesizing it. Also, PPF has been described in Biopolymeric Controlled Release Systems Volume II, Donald L. Wise, et al., Chapter 11, 170-184, and in "The Formation of Propylene Fumarate Oligomers for Use in Bioerodible Bone Cement Composites," by A. J. Domb, et al., JournaI of Polymer Science: Part A: Polymer Chemistry, Vol 28, 973-985 (1990). Generally, poly(propylene fumarate) is useful as a bone cement became it crosslinks to form a solid having appropriate compressive strength.
Another polymer that has been used in other applications in the medical field is poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) which has the chemical composition, HO--[--CH2 --CH2 --O--]m --H. This compound is also called poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) when the molecular weight is less than about 20,000. In this description, the term "PEO" will be used generally to describe the chemical composition, HO--[--CH2 --CH2 --O--]m --H, without regard to the molecular weight. Some of the medical applications of PEO are discussed in Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Chemistry: Biotechnical and Biomedical Applications, edited by J. M. Harris, 1992.
PEO has also been used in the medical field as a copolymer. For example, "Bioerodible Hydrogels Based on Photopolymerized Poly(ethylene glycol)-co-poly(α-hydroxy acid) Diacrylate Macromers," Macromolecules, A. S. Sawhney, et al., vol 26, 581-587, describes a copolymer that functions as a biodegradable hydrogel for delivering drugs.
However, these polymers and copolymers are not suitable in some specialized applications. For example, it would be desirable to have a biodegradable polymer that is crosslinkable at body temperature, i.e., about 37� C. Such a polymer would have special utility as a material for vascular implants. Instead of inserting a solid vascular implant which has the potential of damaging the walls of an artery during implantation, the surgeon could simply inject through a catheter a fluid polymer which could be crosslinked in situ to form a vascular implant. Such a material would permit the implantation of a vascular implant without unduly traumatizing the walls of the artery.
The present invention comprises a block copolymer developed from prepolymers poly(propylene fumarate) and poly(ethylene oxide). An important characteristic of the block copolymer poly(propylene fumarate -co- ethylene oxide) is that it crosslinks in a few minutes at approximately body temperature, i.e., at about 37� C., and it is biodegradable. Therefore, it can be inserted into the body in fluid form and crosslinked in situ to form a biodegradable implant. The crosslinking step requires an appropriate crosslinking monomer along with a radical initiator. An accelerator may also be used to increase the rate of crosslinking.
FIG. 1 shows a reaction pathway for producing block copolymer poly(propylene fumarate -co- ethylene oxide).
FIG. 2 is a graphic representation of parameters affecting molecular weight of the block copolymer.
FIG. 3 is a graphic representation of parameters affecting melting temperatures of the block copolymer.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an artery and catheter illustrating a method of implanting the block copolymer.
It has been discovered that a biodegradable block copolymer poly(propylene fumarate -co- ethylene oxide) can be made from the transesterfication of a poly(propylene fumarate) prepolymer and a poly(ethylene oxide) prepolymer and that this block copolymer can be crosslinked by addition polymerization with a suitable crosslinking monomer. The crosslinking process requires a radical initiator, and it occurs at approximately body temperature, i.e., about 37� C., so it is ideally suited for medical use as a biodegradable implant. An accelerator may also be used to speed the rate of crosslinking.
Referring to FIG. 1, the starting monomer, bis(hydroxypropyl fumarate) is made by the exothermic reaction of fumaryl chloride and propylene glycol. The prepolymer poly(propylene fumarate) is produced by a condensation reaction of the starting monomer, and preferably it has a repeating unit "n", such that the molecular weight of the prepolymer ranges from about 300 to about 12,000.
The prepolymer poly(propylene fumarate) can be made by any acceptable method. However, the preferred method for producing poly(propylene fumarate) is described in Example 1. A more complete description of this synthesis process is contained in pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/234,551 filed Apr. 28, 1994, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Fumaryl chloride is added slowly to a three times excess of propylene glycol at ambient temperature in the absence of any catalyst. Hydrochloric add is given off as a gas in this exothermic reaction, and the trimer, bis(hydroxypropyl fumarate) is formed. This trimer is purified in a solution precipitation by dissolving it in tetrahydrafuran (THF) and precipitating it in a six fold volume of petroleum ether. The second step is the transesterification of the trimer at approximately 160� C. under a vacuum of 100 mm Hg. Antimony trioxide is added as a basic catalyst, and propylene glycol is removed by condensation.
The prepolymer poly(ethylene oxide), is a polymer that can be made by a variety of methods known to those skilled in the art, and it has repeating units "m", such that the molecular weight of the prepolymer ranges from about 50 to about 20,000. As mentioned earlier, it is also known as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) but will be referred to herein as poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO).
In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the block copolymer is formed by adding poly(ethylene oxide) which is incorporated by further condensation of its terminal hydroxyl groups with the poly(propylene fumarate) oligomers under the same conditions used to form the prepolymer poly(propylene fumarate). Poly(ethylene oxide) is reacted with poly(propylene fumarate) at approximately 160� C. under a vacuum of 100 mm Hg, and antimony trioxide is added as a basic catalyst. The block copolymer is purified in a solution precipitation by dissolving it in THF and precipitating it in a six fold volume of petroleum ether.
The chemical reaction between PEO and PPF occurs when the terminal hydroxyl group on PEO attacks a carbonyl site on PPF, either internally or terminally. It should be noted that if an internal carbonyl site on PPF is involved, the block of PPF that attaches to PEO to form the block copolymer of this invention will have a lower molecular weight than the starting PPF prepolymer because the starting PPF prepolymer will be cleaved at that carbonyl site. Therefore, it is probable that the copolymerization step will lower the molecular weight of the PPF prepolymer as it ream with PEO.
The resulting block copolymer can be crosslinked by addition polymerization using an appropriate crosslinking monomer along with a radical initiator. Preferably, an accelerator will also be added to speed the rate of crosslinking. Suitable crosslinking monomers include, methylmethacrylate, N-vinylpyrrilidone and hydroxyethylmethacrylate. Suitable radical initiators are benzoyl peroxide, azobisisobutyronitrile, or acetyl peroxide, and a suitable accelerator is N,N-dimethyltoluidine. This crosslinking reaction takes place within a matter of minutes at body temperature, i.e., about 37� C. Calorimetric studies have shown that the crosslinking temperature rises less than 10� C. when starting from 25� C.
The molecular weight of the block copolymer poly(propylene fumarate karate -co- ethylene oxide) depends primarily on the molecular weight of the poly(propylene fumarate) and poly(ethylene oxide) starting prepolymers. The poly(propylene fumarate) component provides the rigidity characteristic for the copolymer and allows the copolymer to be crosslinked at body temperatures. The poly(ethylene oxide) component gives the copolymer its mechanical compliance, i.e., it provides flexibility. The molecular weight of each prepolymer and the ratio of the prepolymer components will affect the physical properties of the resulting block copolymer. For example, a higher ratio of poly(propylene fumarate) will yield a more rigid block copolymer when crosslinked, while a higher ratio of poly(ethylene oxide) will yield a more pliable crosslinked block copolymer. Therefore, the physical characteristics of the crosslinked block copolymer can be tailored to fit its end use.
Several block copolymers were prepared to determine the effect, if any, that varying the parameters had on the properties of the resulting block copolymers. This procedure was accomplished through the use of a resolution IV, two level fractional factorial design, as described in an article entitled, "The Ingrowth of New Bone Tissue and Initial Mechanical Properties of a Degrading Polymeric Composite Scaffold, " M. J. Yaszemski, et. al, Tissue Eng., vol 1, pp 41-51. The design is given in Table I.
TABLE I______________________________________Resolution IV fractional factorial design CopolymerRun MW PPF Reaction PEO/PPFNumber of PEO Reaction Time Time Ratio______________________________________1 2,000 3 hours 3 hours 0. 662 2,000 3 hours 6 hours 0.333 2,000 6 hours 3 hours 0.334 2,000 6 hours 6 hours 0.665 2,000 3 hours 3 hours 0.336 2,000 3 hours 6 hours 0.667 2,000 6 hours 3 hours 0.668 2,000 6 hours 6 hours 0.33______________________________________
Table II shows the gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) values obtained for the starting materials as well as the eight formulations of the copolymer. Some of this material is presented graphically in FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 shows that the molecular weight of the copolymer depends primarily on the molecular weight of the PEO starting material, while the other variables have little effect. In FIG. 3, it is evident that the molecular weight of the PEO and the ratio of PEO to PPF have a similar increasing effect on the melting temperature, while the reaction time of the copolymer has a strong reducing effect.

ΔHfus = heat of fusion (cal/g) Xc = percent crystallinity
The GPC chromatograms demonstrated the presence of unreacted PPF oligomers in the copolymer product. In addition, most of the copolymers showed a bimodal molecular weight distribution. DSC studies indicate the absence of any PEO homopolymer. The DSC thermograms show an increase in melting temperature with increasing crystallinity brought about by either increasing the molecular weight or the weight percent of PEO block All the copolymer melting temperatures remain below that of the pure crystalline PEO due to the amorphous nature of PPF. The sharp decrease in melting temperature is also due to the increasing length of the amorphous chains. One skilled in the art would be able to design the appropriate block copolymer with the desired physical properties, depending upon its intended end use.
One end use of the block copolymer of this invention is as a biodegradable vascular implant. This block copolymer solves an important problem associated with vascular implants. Typically, an implant is a rigid tube designed to allow the flow of blood and other fluids through a vessel which otherwise would be restricted in some way. Inserting such a tube causes damage to the surrounding tissue which can lead to restenosis or excessive scarring of the tissue. The advantage of using the block copolymer poly(propylene fumarate -co- ethylene oxide) as a vascular implant is its ability to crosslink in situ which means that a fluid block copolymer can be inserted into an artery through a catheter and be polymerized inside the artery to form the implant. The degradation of this block copolymer will produce products that the body can metabolize and/or excrete.
As illustrated in FIG. 4, the vascular implant can be formed in situ by using a double balloon perfusion catheter 10 to deliver the block copolymer of this invention. The catheter 10 is inserted into the artery 12 to the desired location. Balloons 14 and 16 attached to the distal end of the perfusion catheter 10 are inflated through peripheral channel 17 to isolate the space 18 between the balloons. Next, a fluid mixture 19 of the block copolymer, crosslinking monomer and initiator is injected through an annulus 20 in the catheter and exits the catheter through perforations 22 located between the inflated balloons. The mixture contacts the interior of the arterial wall 12, and it crosslinks within a few minutes by itself without the aid of any external means (such as light) to form the implant. The balloons 14 and 16 are deflated so the catheter 10 can be removed. The resulting implant will be held in place by tension from the arterial wall and will maintain an opening for the passage of blood. As the implant degrades, its constituents will be excreted from or absorbed by the body.
Having described the invention above, various modifications of the techniques, procedures, material and equipment will be apparent to those in the art. It is intended that all such variations within the scope and spirit of the appended claims be embraced thereby.

1968 in athletics
While the most notable story coming out of 1968 was Socio-Political,[1] politics involved with the Olympics was not something unique to this year. However, the year marked the beginning of several emerging elements of contemporary Track and Field.
Automatic timing[edit]
While timing to the 100th of a second had been experimented with for many years, the 1968 Summer Olympics were the first to use Fully Automatic Timing, in not only athletics, but in canoeing, rowing, cycling, equestrian and swimming competitions.[2] Subsequently, systems to record such times became more common[3] and thus the accuracy of Fully Automatic Timing became mandated for World Record acceptance. While this rule was officially put into place in 1977, many 1968 records still stood as the first Automatically timed record.
All weather tracks[edit]
This technology too had been developing, but Tartan tracks[4][5] were used as the competition surface for the first time at an Olympics. Since then an All-weather running track was required for all top level competition. Subsequently, the inconsistency of the running surface became a significantly smaller factor in athletic performance.[6][7]
With the Olympics happening in Mexico City, at high altitude, the effect of the thin air on athletic performance became a factor on world records. Following the 1968 Summer Olympics[8][9][10][11] the:
- Men's 100 meters record, set by Jim Hines United States lasted almost 15 years, to be replaced by another mark set by Calvin Smith at altitude in Colorado Springs that lasted another four years.
- Men's 200 meters record, set by Tommie Smith United States lasted almost 11 years, to be replaced by another mark also set on the same track that lasted almost 17 more years. At the high altitude United States Olympic Trials at Echo Summit California that year, John Carlos United States had posted a prior world record that was never ratified due to his shoes.
- Men's 400 meters record, set by Lee Evans United States lasted almost 20 years. At the high altitude United States Olympic Trials at Echo Summit California that year, Evans had posted a prior world record that was also never ratified due to his shoes. Larry James United States in second place, also beat the previous world record and was awarded the record.
- Men's 800 meters Ralph Doubell equalled Peter Snell's 1962 world record. The record was again equalled by Dave Wottle at the 1972 U.S. Olympic Trials a month before he won the gold medal in Munich. The record lasted until 1973 when it was finally broken by Marcello Fiasconaro.
- Men's 400 meter hurdles record that was set by Geoff Vanderstock United States at the high altitude United States Olympic Trials that year, was improved upon at the Olympics by David Hemery United Kingdom and lasted four years.
- Men's Long Jump record had been set a year earlier in a Mexico City preparation meet, but was improved upon by Bob Beamon United States an incredible 22 inches or 55 cm. That record lasted almost 23 years and still has only been beaten once. The feat was so outstanding it spawned a new adjective "beamonesque".[citation needed]
- Men's Triple Jump record was set and improved five times at Mexico City including on the last jump in the competition by Viktor Saneyev Soviet Union, three years later it was improved upon again, by Pedro Pérez Cuba at altitude in Cali, Colombia. A year later that was improved upon at sea level by Saneyev, but three years later the record was again set at Mexico City by João Carlos de Oliveira Brazil, which lasted ten more years.
- Men's Pole Vault was set at the high altitude United States Olympic Trials by Bob Seagren United States, the eventual gold medalist. The record lasted until the next summer. The current World Record in the Pole Vault, was set at altitude in Sestriere, Italy by Sergey Bubka Ukraine in 1994 and has not been challenged since, though with Bubka's history of outstanding performances, the altitude is not considered a major factor in his record. In fact, Bubka later improved upon the record at low altitude, indoors, but at the time indoor records were not recognized as world records.
- Men's 4x100 Relay record was set three times in Mexico City, including both semi-finals and the final by the United States which lasted until the next Olympics
- Men's 4x400 Relay record by the United States lasted almost 24 years (although it was equalled after 20 years).
- Women's 100 meter record, set by Wyomia Tyus United States lasted almost 4 years.
- Women's 200 metres record, set by Irena Szewińska Poland lasted almost 2 years.
- Women's Long Jump record, set by Viorica Viscopoleanu Romania lasted almost 2 years.
- Women's 4x100 Relay record, set by the United States lasted until the next Olympics
East Africa[edit]
1968 marked the emergence of high altitude trained long distance runners from Kenya. While Abebe Bikila's Ethiopia victories in the two previous Olympic Marathons had announced to the world the potential of East African athletes, Kenya won its first Gold medals in Mexico City, and it won three of them, including the Steeplechase which it would subsequently claim ownership of.[12][13] Kenya has won the steeplechase in every Olympics they have participated in since 1968. Ethiopia won its third straight marathon. There has been a fierce athletic rivalry between Kenya and Ethiopia ever since, while both countries and their neighbors have dominated long distance running both on the track and on the roads.[14]
Fosbury Flop[edit]
Dick Fosbury was the first to do what is now called the "Fosbury Flop" to the High Jump. He learned to take advantage of the new foam landing pads (another technical innovation introduced in this era) by jumping over the bar backwards.[15] Canadian Debbie Brill started doing the "Brill Bend" about the same time, but Fosbury got the most exposure, winning the Olympics. The prevailing methods involved jumping forwards or sideways, styles called the Roll or "Western Roll" and previous to that, the "Scissors" style. After Fosbury's victory, the flop became almost the only style used by elite competitors.[16]
Performance Enhancing Drugs[edit]
This was the first Olympics to do drug testing, though primarily these initial searches were for narcotics and stimulants.[17]

I Just Bought Shenmue II For Dreamcast
By Stefan 7 Comments
I already played through Shenmue II a couple of years ago when it was first released for Xbox. Shortly after that I picked up the original game, Shenmue I for Dreamcast and loved it, too.
Though it's difficult to get access into those games, at least that's how I felt during the first few hours of the games, they are worth your time. I was stunned when I noticed how the town in Shenmue I changes during the winter (It starts in October I think and goes on till February if I remember correctly). It's starting to snow, the streets turn white, people put decoration into their windows around Christmas and so on. The overall atmosphere was better than in most modern games.
And since I loved the games so much I thought about playing through them once again.
Though I already possess the Xbox version of Shenmue II, I couldn't resist when I saw the PAL version of the game in a German online shop used for 26,99€ (The game is always English so if you want to pick it up, too: www.rebuy.de) I also bought Shenmue I there for ten bucks a couple of weeks ago for a friend however it's out of stock right now. Now I am looking forward for the game to arrive... actually I am looking forward for games to arrive since I also ordered Ecco the Dolphin, Jet Set Radio and V-Rally 2 which are also three great games, V-Rally 2 had a superb track editor and got me interested into racing games back when it was released.
Anyway, as soon as I get it I will post how good the condition of the games is, since they are all comparably cheap and used. Like I said I ordered at the shop before and the condition was great last time but you never know until you got the item in your hands.

Zee Network's music channel Zing has undergone a complete change in look & strategy, starting April 1.
The change was inspired by Zing's huge viewer base of the youth. Now, the channel will have a new logo with a refreshed positioning, which is targeted at strengthening Zing's position in the minds of the youth.
Explaining the rationale behind the new positioning, Anurag Bedi, EVP & Business head, Zee Niche Channels says, "Today's youth believe in living out loud. They believe in carving their own niche and learning from their own experiences instead of relying on others. They would rather make their own mistake and learn from that than not follow their heart. This is exactly what we would like to reiterate through our positioning. We want them to live with a zing, to live ekdum awesome!"
As far as content is concerned, Zing will explore the space of fiction shows targeted at youth. These shows are set to epitomize the spirit and lifestyle of the youth across the country. The first show will be launched in May.
Besides, an updated library of bollywood songs will be interspersed with the existing programming.
Ashish Sehgal, Chief Sales Office, Zee Network, says, "This country has a massive youth population. With so many brands trying to grab as many eyeballs as possible within this important segment of the youth, this change in strategy & positioning has generated a lot of excitement amongst the advertisers."
To top it up, the channel has tied up with the film "2 States" and has roped in the film's lead pair Alia Bhatt & Arjun Kapoor to talk about its new positioning.

I have a LaRue high cantilever mount I'm using on my LMT. Not a fan of ARMS. Like to spend $100 or less. ScrappyDoo11-28-2010, 15:40Let me know how this works out... I would love to have one on my 930SPX but I am very happy with the Ghost Rings, and I would love an Aimpoint but for a 5.56 first, maybe my 15-22 second, shotgun third. I don't think I'd need it, unless it was for duty. But definitely a love-to-have. vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
