text: Latvia's third largest city is located in the far southwest corner of Latvia on the Baltic coast only 100km from Klaipeda in Lithuania. Straddling a narrow strip of land between the sea and a lake, it began as a humble fishing village, eventually becoming a major trading port under the leadership of Jacob (or James) Kettler (1610 - 1681), Duke of Courland and godson of England's King James I. The burgeoning city suffered heavily during the Great Northern War when the population was decimated by an outbreak of the plague in 1710. The city only regained its importance as a port and mercantile centre in the 19th century as a part of the Russian empire. Its significance was further buoyed by the creation of the Naval Port from 1890 – 1904 when it was home to the first Baltic fleet of Russian submarines.

Kilbourntown House - Estabrook Drive just north of Capitol Drive - is open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10 to 5, and Sunday from 1 to 5, now through Aug. 30. Closed holidays.
Kilbourntown House was built in 1844 by Benjamin Church, a carpenter from New York. Church, his wife, and six children lived in the house, which was originally located in the section of Milwaukee known as Kilbourntown. An excellent example of Greek Revival architecture, the house was saved from destruction in 1938 when it was moved to Estabrook Park and restored as a WPA project. The home contains an outstanding collection of mid-nineteenth century furniture and decorative arts. A kitchen herb garden neighbors the home. The house is maintained jointly by the Milwaukee County Historical Society, the Milwaukee County Parks, and the Colonial Dames. Kilbourntown House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a Milwaukee County Landmark.

Priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/218,717, filed 17 Jul. 2000, incorporated herein by reference, is hereby claimed.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to olefin metathesis. More particularly, the present invention relates to olefin metathesis catalysts.
2. General Background of the Invention
The formation of C—C bonds via olefin metathesis (e.g. Ring Closing Metathesis, RCM, or Ring Opening Metathesis Polymerization, ROMP) is a powerful technique in organic synthesis and polymer chemistry.1 Well-defined, single-component metal-carbene complexes of the Grubbs type (RuCl2(═CHR)(PR′3)2 (1) (see
A common drawback of all above-mentioned catalyst precursors is their difficult recovery from reaction mixtures. These usually decompose upon work-up, giving rise to products that are highly colored by ruthenium residues.5 These issues have been addressed by sequestering the ruthenium residues via addition of hydrophilic phosphine ligands6 or lead compounds7 in the work-up procedure, by phosphine derivatization leading to water-soluble olefin metathesis catalysts and applications in biphasic systems8, and by the development of recyclable monomeric9 (5) (see
The simpler approach of anchoring an olefin metathesis catalyst to a polymer support should in theory lead to a straightforward recovery of the catalyst by filtration. Attempts have been made to heterogenize Grubbs catalyst by immobilizing it either through bis-phosphine linkages11 or through the carbene moiety.5 The former results in a two orders of magnitude decrease in catalytic activity compared to its homogeneous counterpart; and the latter, although displaying high activity in the initial cycle, exhibit significantly lower activity in subsequent cycles.5
The use of macroporous polymers as supports for transition metal catalysts has been explored.12 Macroporous resins have a permanent well-developed porous structure even in a dry state.13 Contrary to lightly cross-linked Merrifield resins14, that need swelling solvents to access their interior volume, the pore structure of macroporous resins can be accessed by solvents and reactants without a need for swelling.12

The present invention comprises a simple heterogeneous catalytic system for RCM that is recyclable, shows comparable or better reactivity than its homogeneous counterparts, tolerates functional groups and performs very well with dienes and moderately well with highly hindered substrates.
For a further understanding of the nature, objects, and advantages of the present invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description, read in conjunction with the following drawings, wherein:
Herein, we report the immobilization of olefin metathesis catalyst precursors 1 and 2 into a macroporous polymer. Their reactivity and recyclability in RCM reactions are also described.
The macroporous resin used (poly-divinylbenzene (poly-DVB)) was synthesized from divinylbenzene (DVB) with toluene as the porogen (v:v=1:1). Half of the bulk polymer was ground into a fine powder and the rest was crushed into small pieces and dried in vacuo. Poly-DVB has been characterized and found to have a relatively large surface area (810 mg/g polymer) where 55% of the vinyl groups are crosslinked, see
Ring closing metathesis catalyst precursors 1 and 2 were immobilized onto this support (power and small segment) by adding a toluene solution of the catalyst precursor to the polymer and heating to 50� C. The slurry was then filtered and washed with toluene to yield a light pink solid (1=>3 and 2=>4). The catalyst loading is estimated at 5 mol %/100 mg of polymer based on mass difference in empregnation experiments. Polymer-supported catalyst precursors 3 and 4 as small pieces and powder were used in RCM with a set of representative diene substrates.
With the diene substrate diethyldiallylmalonate (5) (see
The RCM of diallytosylamine (7) is very slow in the presence of catalyst precursor 2, however, the polymer-supported catalyst 4 ring closes 7 and can be recycled at least three times (Table 2, entries 2-3). The catalyst precursor 1 or its polymer-supported analogue 3 mediate this transformation very efficiently (Table 2, entries 6-7). Catalyst 3 can be recycled without significant loss of activity.
Highly substituted dienes have proven a challenge in RCM. To examine the performance of our supported catalysts, the tetra-substituted diene diethylbis(2-methylallyl)malonate 6 was examined as a RCM substrate. The catalyst precursor 1 and the polymer-supported relative 3 show no reactivity in the RCM of 6. However, 2 and the polymer-supported analogue 4 are active in this reaction. Moreover, 4 can be recycled up to four times without much loss of activity (33%, 38%, 28% and 22%). Addition of CuCl to either forms of 4 (power or pieces) does not increase the yield and results in a total loss of activity.
In conclusion, we have developed a simple heterogeneous catalyst system for RCM that is recyclable, shows comparable or better reactivity than its homogeneous counterparts, tolerates functional groups and performs very well with dienes and moderately well with highly hindered substrates. Studies aimed at exploring the extent of reactivity and mechanism of these and related supported catalysts are ongoing.

HARTFORD, Conn. NASA said Friday it terminated its contract with a Houston company selected in June to supply the space agency's next-generation space suit.
NASA said it determined that an unspecified compliance issue required it to halt its contract with Oceaneering International Inc., best known for providing deep water services and products to the oil and gas industry.
The agency said its procurement decision will be reconsidered, offering no reason except that the decision was "for the convenience of the government."
The three-phase $745 million contract called for 109 suits, 24 of which will be the lunar suits.
The contract award was protested last month by Exploration Systems & Technology, a joint venture between Hamilton Sundstrand and ILC Dover, two companies that have supplied space suits and components since the 1960s. Exploration Systems & Technology said it did not believe it received adequate information from NASA about why its bid did not win.
In a statement Friday, Exploration Systems & Technology said it is concerned that revisions to the proposal may not correct the "significant errors and deficiencies in the procurement we have protested thus far."
Spokesman Daniel Coulom said Exploration Systems & Technology was told that NASA will address only cost accounting issues. Exploration Systems & Technology instead wants "corrective action" that it said would reduce the risk of additional challenges, promote competition and efficiency in the contracting process.
The space suit, called an EVA (Extra Vehicular Activity) suit by NASA, is being developed to protect astronauts during voyages to the International Space Station and surface of the moon, where the space agency hopes to return by 2020.
The challenge to a federal contract is the second in recent months for a United Technologies subsidiary. Hamilton Sundstrand and jet engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney, another business of United Technologies, were the indirect beneficiaries of a challenge to the awarding of a government contract.
Boeing scored a victory in June in its effort to wrest a $35 billion Air Force contract from Northrop Grumman and its European partner. The Government Accountability Office upheld Boeing's protest of the refueling tanker contract and recommended a new competition.
Pratt & Whitney would build the engines for the fleet of nearly 600 tankers and Hamilton Sundstrand would work on the electrical systems

One of the worst gay films of all time. No redeeming value, bad choices all the way through the film The only thing that would have made it better would be if the remaining, dysfunctional characters would have been allkilled in the last scene of the film on PCH.

2004 Buick Rainier Question: Fuel filter and spark plug

Where can I find the fuel filter and how to remove the park plug
1 Answer
Answer #1Russ February 20, 2009, 09:12Master
The fuel filter is located on the underside of your Rainer near the fuel tank. On your engine there are 4 spark plugs on each side. You will need to remove whatever you think is necessary to access the spark plugs. When changing plugs on your engine it would be a good idea to replace the spark plug wires also. With the 90k spark plugs it makes it very hard to get the old wires off the spark plugs without damaging them.

Down here it's just winners and losers
And don't get caught on the wrong side of that line
Lyric Meaning
There is a lot packed into this line!
First, the main character speaks with a sense of exhaustion. He seems to yearn for a righteous path, or at least understand it's existence by virtue of acknowledging the lack thereof, but feels that the broken down society he exists in is indifferent to that struggle.
We also get the sense that he feels everybody else is already cheating, and therefore must cheat to keep afloat. It is a succinct and achingly real look into inequality and what drives a moral person to do immoral things.
Finally, it references the theme of Atlantic City and gambling. Gambling, also an immoral activity, usually only has a winner and a loser.
After the Chicken Man died, it left a power vacuum as many different mobsters tried to take his place. This led to a four year gang war. This is a game where you really don't want to be on the losing side since the losers are the ones who get killed.

Charles Correa
Charles Correa, Kenneth Frampton, "Charles Correa"
Thames Hudson | 1997 | ISBN: 0500092680 | 271 pages | File type: PDF | 100 mb
The architectural and urban planning solutions of Charles Correa, the brilliant Indian architect, effectively combine traditional spiritual and symbolic themes with the environmental and cultural demands of a modernized society. They have gained him a global following. His projects have been as wide-ranging as they are impressive: low-rise, low-cost, high-density housing, entire townships and extensions to major cities, but also many individual buildings, such as the Gandhi Museum. In addition to the architect's own presentation of his ideas, Kenneth Frampton provides an overall assessment of his achievement, and this model study of an increasingly influential figure is completed by a detailed chronology and bibliography.
Summary: Chuck is my man!
Rating: 5
Not exactly for the weekend bird house builder. Charles has abilities beyond description. A must have for any enthusiast!

Rating: 5
In this age of "fashionable" architectyure, it is rare to find someone who re-affirms the esential values of light, form and space, together with cultue, climate and appropriate technology.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
What a crisis has done to the people of Greece
06 Mar 2011 02:03 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Israel
Israeli warplanes have launched a series of air raids on Gaza City, medics and witnesses have said.
Saturday's airstrikes were carried out on different targets in northern and central Gaza Strip as well as in Gaza City.
Adham Abu Selmeya, Gaza emergency chief, told reporters that no injuries were reported. The explosions kept the population awake.
Three of the raids targetted bases of the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip.These attacks caused significant damage both to the targets and to neighbouring houses. Two other raids targetted the north and south of the city.An Israeli army statement said it had carried out three air raids, and two had targeted "terrorist targets" in the central Gaza Strip.A third had been on a tunnel intended for armed raids into Israel or operations against army positions along the border with the Gaza Strip, the statement said.The army said the raids had come after a rocket was fired on Saturday from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel. "This morning a rocket fired from Gaza fell in the western sector of the Negev [desert in southern Israel], without causing any casualties or damage," an army spokeswoman said earlier.The attacks have continued despite calls by Hamas for armed groups to respect a truce with Israel.
