DC's gay marriage law survives court challenge
The DC Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that Washington was within its rights to block a popular vote on same-sex marriage because the results could violate its human rights law. The city legalized gay marriage in March.
Jacquelyn Martin/AP
The District of Columbia Court of Appeals effectively upheld gay marriage in the nation's capital by legitimizing the city's decision to block a popular vote on the issue.
In a 5-4 decision published Thursday, the court agreed that Washington's Board of Elections and Ethics had the right to deny an initiative measure on the city's recently passed law legalizing same-sex marriage.
Opponents of the law, led by area pastors, were confident that the majority of Washingtonians would have voted against gay marriage if given the chance.
They argued that residents of the District "are … entitled to voice their views through their votes on this important issue" – just like the voters in 31 states where gay marriage has been on the ballot. Every time the question of same-sex marriage has been put to voters, they have voted against it.
But that could have conflicted with the District's 1973 "Human Rights Law," which declares that "[e]very individual shall have an equal opportunity to participate … in all aspects of life."
The question, according the court, was whether such an initiative measure "would authorize or have the effect of authorizing discrimination on a basis prohibited by the Human Rights Act."
"We have no difficulty concluding that the proposed initiative would do so," the court majority wrote.
While the decision was close, even the four-judge minority (which questioned the basis on which the DC Board of Elections rejected the initiative) agreed that the referendum could have been discriminatory.
Gay rights groups applauded the decision.
"The court's ruling today is a significant victory for justice, the rule of law and the protection of all DC residents against discrimination," said Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, in a statement.
While the ruling – which could be taken up by the US Supreme Court – addresses a signature issue in today's political culture wars, it also relates to DC's unique position under the scrutiny of Congress.
The 81-page ruling is set in the context of the history of Home Rule in the DC, over which Congress retains considerable power.
Republicans and some conservative Democrats in Congress are trying to exert congressional authority over the District in this matter with a bill called the "DC Defense of Marriage Act." The bill would define marriage in DC as the "union of one man and one woman."
"The ideal institution for raising children is family, it is moms and dads," Rep. Jim Jordan (R) of Ohio said at a rally announcing the bill in May. "This is the national capital of the greatest country in the world, and this is a fight worth getting into, defending that key institution."
The bill has 30 cosponsors in the House, but it is unlikely to generate enough support to pass.
Meanwhile, federal courts have been getting more involved in gay marriage questions at the state level.
In Massachusetts last week, US District Judge Joseph Tauro ruled that the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional because it "plainly encroaches" on the right of states to define marriage. Specifically, Judge Tauro ruled that DOMA unconstitutionally denies married gay couples some federal benefits. Massachusetts legalized gay marriage in 2004.
"This court has determined that it is clearly within the authority of the commonwealth to recognize same-sex marriages among its residents, and to afford those individuals in same-sex marriages any benefits, rights, and privileges to which they are entitled by virtue of their marital status," Tauro wrote.
It's unclear at this point whether the Obama administration will appeal Tauro's ruling.
In California, both sides of the gay marriage debate are awaiting the decision of US District Judge Vaughn Walker in the case involving Proposition 8 – the 2008 ballot measure restricting the definition of marriage to between a man and a woman. At issue is whether Prop. 8 violates the Equal Protection Clause in the US Constitution.
Five states (New Hampshire, Iowa, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Connecticut) and DC now recognize same-sex marriage. This week Argentina became the 10th country to legalize same-sex marriage.
Opponents of gay marriage vow to continue fighting – in federal courts and at the voting booth.
"Individual states shouldn't have the right to impose a radical redefinition of marriage on the rest of the country," Austin Nimocks, senior legal counsel of the Alliance Defense Fund, said in response to Judge Tauro's decision in Massachusetts.

The present invention provides a process for preparing supported zinc dicarboxylate catalysts with high activity for the copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxides by supporting zinc dicarboxylate on silica support. The zinc dicarboxylate may be synthesized from zinc oxide and dicarboxylic acid such as succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid and suberic acid. The silica support can be selected from the group consisting of aerosil, silica gel for chromatography or reagent grade silicon dioxide. The supporting process is performed in a planetary ball grinder under vacuum.

A supported catalyst for the copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxides to form poly(alkylene carbonate)s obtained by supporting a zinc dicarboxylate on silica, wherein the zinc dicarboxylate is selected from the group consisting of zinc succinate, zinc glutarate, zinc adipate, zinc pimelate and zinc suberate, and the mixture thereof, and the weight ratio of zinc dicarboxylate to silica support varies from 1/2 to 1/5.
The present invention relates to a supported catalyst with high activityuseful in the synthesis of poly(alkylene carbonate) polymers derived from the copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxides, a method for preparing the same.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is currently considered as a major environmental pollutant that causes a dramatic increase in the global temperature or the so-called greenhouse effect. The contribution of CO2 to the climate warming is estimated to be about 66%. The CO2 level in atmosphere is now reported to be about 345 ppmv (parts per million by volume), and annually increases at a rate of about 1 ppmv due to human activities, especially in the case of using mineral fuel. Thus, the reduction of massive CO2 release into the atmosphere has attracted much attention of the scientists all over the world. In this regard, the use of CO2 as a polymerization monomer is of practical important. Aliphatic polycarbonates or the block copolymers of polycarbonate and polyether can be prepared via the direct copolymerization of CO2 with epoxides such as ethylene oxide (EO), propylene oxide (PO), isobutylene oxide (BO), and cyclohexene oxide (CHO). The copolymerization of carbon dioxide with epoxides to form poly(alkylene carbonate) polymers was first reported by Inoue and co-workers, Polymer Letters 7, 287(1969); Makromol. Chem. 130.210(1969); and described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,585,168. Other processes are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,900,424; 3,953,383 and 5,026,676. However, the progress for the commercialization of these poly(alkylene carbonate)s that utilize this chemistry has been very slow, although there are numerous economic advantages associated with the use of an abundant, low cost material like carbon dioxide. The main reason lies with the practical difficulty in preparing large scale organometallic catalysts for commercial usage.
The catalysts reported by Inoue were prepared by reacting diethylzinc with compounds containing active protons, e.g., water, dicarboxylic acids, or dihydric phenols. Typical catalyst productivities ranged from 2.0 to 10.0 grams of polymer per gram of catalyst used, and most of the yields fall at the low end of this range. Long polymerization time periods of 24 to 48 hours were required in order to achieve satisfactory yields and higher molecular weights of the products. It should be noted that the inoue catalysts also generated noticeable amounts of byproducts of cyclic carbonate and polyether homopolymer that must be removed from the desired polycarbonate polymers.
Zinc carboxylates have also been described as effective catalysts for CO2 polymerization. Because zinc carboxylates are stable and safe compounds having no handling problem when comparing with diethylzinc, they are promising candidates for use as practical commercial catalyst systems. Soga and co-workers, Polymer J. 13(4), 407(1981) reported that the reaction products of zinc hydroxide and aliphatic dicarboxylic acids exhibited high activity for the copolymerization of carbon dioxide and propylene oxide. A variety of acids were tested, but only adipic and glutaric acid produced catalysts with higher activity than the known diethylzinc catalysts. Catalysts prepared from aromatic dicarboxylic acids were essentially inert under the polymerization conditions described by Soga.
Soga, Nippon Kagakkaishi 2, 295(1982) also reported another approach to improve the catalyst activity via supporting the catalyst on an inert Oxide Carrier. A supporting material can increase the surface area of active catalyst material, thereby enhancing the efficiency production of the aliphatic polycarbonate. In Soga's work, zinc acetate was selected as catalytically active component, and dissolved in some solvent, e.g. ethanol, to form a solution. After the silica support being added, the solvent is removed to give a supported catalyst. However, thus obtained catalyst has low activity due to the poor catalytic efficiency of zinc acetate. The supported catalysts of Soga are ineffective compared to the well-known diethylzinc based catalysts.
The metal salts of acetic acid are the third type of catalyst materials known to promote the copolymerization of CO2 with epoxides (Soga. et al., Makromol. Chem. 178, 893(1977)). Only zinc and cobalt can produce alternating copolymers from CO2 and epoxides, and the activity of these catalysts is lower than that derived from diethylzinc based catalysts.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,783,445, Sun reported that soluble zinc catalysts can be prepared by reacting zinc oxide or zinc salts with a dicarboxylic acid anhydride or monoester in a suitable solvent such as the lower alcohols, ketones, esters and ethers. However, low catalytic activity is produced.
Among the catalyst systems reported in the literature up to that time, only zinc carboxylates based on adipic or glutaric acid seem potential for practical use on a commercial scale.
One object of the present invention is to provide a process for preparing supported catalysts useful in the copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxides to form poly(alkylene carbonate)s, comprising the step of supporting a zinc dicarboxylate on the silica support, wherein the zinc dicarboxylate is selected from the group consisting of zinc succinate, zinc glutarate, zinc adipate, zinc pimelate and zinc suberate, and the mixture thereof, and the weight ratio of zinc dicarboxylate to silica support varies from 1/1 to 1/15.
An another object of the present invention is to provide a supported catalyst useful in the copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxides to form poly(alkylene carbonate)s, obtained by abovementioned process.
This invention provides a new procedure for the preparation of supported catalysts containing zinc dicarboxylate used for the preparation of copolymers of epoxide materials and carbon dioxide. The zinc dicarboxylates may be synthesized from zinc oxide and dicarboxylic acid by conventional method known in the art. Said dicarboxylic acid may be selected from the group consisting of succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid, suberic acid, and the mixture thereof. The zinc dicarboxylate is preferably zinc glutarate, zinc adipate and zinc pimelate.
The silica support suitable for the present invention may come from various sources. The examples of suitable the silica support include, but not limited to, aerosil, silica gel for chromatography or reagent grade silicon dioxide. For the aerosil, the average particle size of silica support may be from about 200 nm to about 300 nm. Said silica support can be activated by calcining at a temperature of from about 200� C. to about 1100� C., preferably from about 400� C. to about 1000� C., more preferably from about 500 to about 900� C., and most preferably from about 600� C. to about 800� C. in a muffle furnace or tubular furnace for about 30 minutes to 48 hours, preferably about 1 to about 24 hours, more preferably about 2 to about 16 hours prior to usage. Upon activated, the support is preferably kept without further contacting with any moisture.
The supporting process may be performed in a planetary ball grinder. In a vacuum agate tank, zinc dicarboxylate and silica support are milled by a planetary ball grinder with a revolutions scale from about 200 to 500 per minute for about 10 minutes to 12 hours, preferably about 20 minutes to 6 hours, and more preferably about 30 minutes to 2 hours.
In the supported catalyst, the weight ratio of zinc dicarboxylate to silica support may be from about 1/1 to about 1/15, preferably about 1/2 to about 1/5.
The supported catalysts can be used in the copolymerization of CO2 and PO. Experimental results show that extremely high catalytic efficiency can be achieved. Without limited to a specific theory, it is believed that the increase of the activity is contributed by the increase of the specific surface area of the particles of zinc dicarboxylate achieved by atomizing and distributing the particles of zinc dicarboxylate on silica support by means of machinary grinding. In addition, the silica support have moisture absorption ability such that it can be utilized for absorbing trace of moisture presenting in the carbon dioxide and epioxides feed, thereby increasing further the catalytic efficiency and molecular weight of the polymer product.
The catalyst obtainable in the present invention process is white powder, and stable in dry air. Said catalyst is hygroscopic in some extent, but its activity can be restored by activating by means of heat-dehydrating.
The supported catalysts derived from zinc glutarate and zinc pimelate have an advantage of high activity, and that derived from zinc adipate has an advantage of low cost.
A more detailed description of the invention and its methods of practice are described in the following examples. It should be understood that the present invention is not intended to limit into these examples in any way.
General Procedure
Pretreatment of Materials
Epoxide, e.g., propylene oxide (PO) with a purity of 99.5% was purified by distillation over calcium hydride under dry nitrogen atmosphere for 2 hours. The as-treated PO was then stored over 4A molecular sieves prior to use. Carbon dioxide with a purity of higher than 99.8% was used as received. Dicarboxylic acid of 98.0% purity, and solvents such as toluene, methanol, acetone, methylene dichloride, were of analytical reagent grade and used without further purification. Zinc oxides of 99.99% purity were also used without further treatment. The silica supports were activated under 700-800� C. in a muffle furnace for 10-16 hours.
Preparation of Zinc Dicarboxylates
Zinc dicarboxylates were synthesized from zinc oxide and dicarboxylic acid under magnetic stirring as described in the literature. Fine powders of zinc oxide were used as received without further grinding. Accordingly, to a 150 mL three-neck round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, condenser, and a Dean-Stark trap were added a slight molar excess zinc oxide and 90 mL toluene. To this mixture was then introduced dicarboxylic acid, and the mixture was slowly heated up to 55-110� C. for 4 to 20 hours under vigorous stirring. Upon cooling, the resulting mixture was filtered. The resulting solids were continuously washed with acetone for several times followed by drying overnight in a vacuum oven at 100� C. The obtained zinc dicarboxylates was fine powders in white color with a high acid conversion.
Preparation of Supported Catalysts
The silica support were selected from the group consisting of aerosil, silica gel for chromatography and reagent grade silicon dioxide. They were activated under 700-800� C. in a muffle furnace for 10-16 hours prior to usage. In a vacuum agate tank, zinc dicarboxylate and silica support (weight ratio from 1/1 to 1/15) were milled by a planetary ball grinder with a revolutions scale from 200 to 500 per minute for 30 to 120 minutes. The supported catalyst was obtained accordingly.
The copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides, e.g. propylene oxide was carried out in a 500 mL autoclave equipped with a mechanical stirrer. Supported catalyst was further dried at 100� C. for 24 hours prior to being used for the polymerization process. Dry supported catalyst was then introduced into the autoclave as quickly as possible. The autoclave was then capped with its head, and the entire assembly was connected to the reaction system equipped with a vacuum line. The autoclave with catalyst inside was further dried for 24 h under vacuum at 100� C. This implied that the catalyst was further in-situ dried during the same process for another 24 hours. Subsequently, the autoclave was purged with carbon dioxide and evacuated alternatively for three times, followed by adding purified PO with a syringe. The autoclave was then pressurized to 5.0 MPa via a CO2 cylinder. The copolymerization was performed at 60� C. under stirring for 40 hours. The autoclave was cooled to room temperature and the pressure was released. The resulting viscous mixture was removed, dissolved in a proper volume of methylene chloride and transferred to a separating funnel. The catalyst residual was extracted from the product solution by using 200 ml dilute hydrochloric acid (5%), followed by washing three times with distilled water. The viscous solution was concentrated by using a rotary evaporator to give a proper concentration. Finally, poly(propylene carbonate) copolymer was precipitated out by pouring the concentrated copolymer solution into vigorously stirred methanol. The as-made PPC was filtered and dried for two days at room temperature under vacuum. Meanwhile, the resulting filtrate was distilled to remove methanol and methylene chloride to yield a methanol soluble product.
Zinc dicarboxylates were synthesized in examples 1-8. The preparation condition and result were listed in Table 1. In each example satisfactory conversion of acid was achieved.
In examples 9-13, zinc dicarboxylates obtained from the examples 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 were supported on the silica support respectively. The supporting condition was listed in Table 2. The as-made supported catalysts were used in the copolymerization of CO2 and PO and catalytic activity results were also listed in Table 2. From Table 2, it can be seen that extremely high catalytic activity can be achieved by using either supported zinc glutarate, supported zinc adipate or supported zinc pimelate. The catalytic activity of zinc glutarate in example 10 (358.8 g polymer/g zinc) is nearly 1.9 times higher than that reported by M. Ree et al.

Behind the strength of nine champions and 10 state qualifiers, Tuttle piled up 281 points to win the Class 4A west wrestling regional at Harrah.
Regional wrestling roundup: Tuttle dominates at Class 4A west regional
Winning titles were Tanner Litterell (113 pounds), Beau Guffey (120 pounds), Blake Dauphin (126 pounds), Brik Filippo (132 pounds), Dayton Garrett (138 pounds), Dakota Head (152 pounds), Seth Shelton (160 pounds), Riley Fielder (220 pounds), and Dustin Mason (285 pounds). Noah McQuigg (106 pounds) finished second.
"I'm really pleased having nine champs," said Tuttle coach Matt Surber. "That sets us up in a good position for next week, and allows us to enter the state tournament with some confidence."
The nine regional champions make Tuttle an overwhelming favorite to win their sixth consecutive Class 4A tournament title next weekend.
"I'm getting a great effort from those 10 guys," Surber said. "We would've liked to get a couple more in through (the loser's bracket), but I can't complain about being top heavy like that. We got a lot of bonus points and that's really what allowed us to get some separation."
Vinita had the most state qualifiers in 4A with 11, but had no champions. The Hornets finished second to Tuttle with 210.5 points. Vinita was also the runner-up to Tuttle at last weekend's dual state tournament.
Edmond North put itself in great position to contend for the Class 6A tournament state title next week with seven champions and nine state qualifiers from the 6A west regional at Southmoore.
Paxton Rosen (106 pounds), Cy Trindle (120 pounds), Zach Walton (160 pounds), Joel Dixon (182 pounds), Derek White (195 pounds), Lance Dixon (220 pounds), and Andrew Dixon (285 pounds) all won titles for the Huskies, who took first in the team race with 258 points.
Putnam City had the second-most champions thanks to twin brothers Keegan and Zachary Moore. Keegan won the title at 132 pounds with a 15-5 major decision over Mustang's Gareth Ballard, while Zachary had a third-period pin over Daniel Mbainyel of Norman in the 138-pound final.
Southmoore had a school-record six state qualifiers, but were dealt a tough loss when senior Nathan Marek was disqualified from the tournament during the 170-pound semifinals on Friday night. Marek was a state champion as a sophomore and runner-up as a junior. He has signed with OU.
Marek's disqualification ended his season and prevents a possible matchup with Stillwater's Chandler Rogers at the state tournament next weekend. Marek and Rogers, who has signed with OSU, are both ranked in the top 20 nationally at 170 pounds.

Murano Glass and Burano Lace Tour from Venice
- Enjoy a day away from the hustle and bustle of the city
- Fully narrated tour
- Get inside tips from a local
- Informative, friendly and professional guide
- Instant Confirmation
- Perfect introduction for first-time visitors
With your friendly guide, head straight to a glassblower's workshop for an authentic, behind-the-scenes look at a Murano glassmaker in action. As the craftsman goes about his daily business, you'll learn how finished glass is carefully prepared and made. Watch the silica sand turn to glass, discover how the bright colors (typical of Murano glass) are achieved and hear all the highs and lows of working as a glassblower in Murano!
You'll have time to spend at leisure on Murano – a great opportunity to browse the workshop's impressive glass art collection or simply explore on your own.
Next, head to the neighboring island of Burano, where you'll be greeted by its vibrantly colored fishermen's houses that line the streets. Just as Murano is famous for its glassmaking, Burano is famous for its lacemaking. Visit a local workplace to see the island's craftswomen at work. Almost exclusively made by women, Burano lace is the finished product of a painstakingly precise textile craft. As you watch, your guide will talk about the history of this exquisite Venetian lace and explain how the handcrafted finery is sadly becoming a dying art.
Before your half-day trip comes to an end, you can independently visit the fascinating Burano Lace Museum (Museo del Muretto), a modern museum that showcases this age-old craft, or spend time exploring the island. Stroll through the colorful little streets, take photos or browse the shops for a lace keepsake to take home!

Tour Guide was great. Very open and friendly in sharing her own experiences with Venice. Taxi rides to islands was another good experience compared to the overcrowded Water Busses. Plenty of time on each island for a very simple feeling of the islands. The Lace making was not that exciting but cool to see the woman doing her thing sewing the lace. The houses were a bit more interesting than the lace, on Burano island. Cool to see such a mellow and beautiful lifestyle on that island. The colors and doorways with flowing cloth covers was a memorable experience.

Life as Big Daddy by JamesDonaldsonWatch
©2010-2015 JamesDonaldson
Bioshock 2 lets you play as a Big Daddy! Yay!
(Nevermind you could already do that in Bioshock 1).
Anyway this rather crazy idea came into my head watching the launch trailer. The comic makes no sence and it's not supposed to. Enjoy.
(Nevermind you could already do that in Bioshock 1).
Anyway this rather crazy idea came into my head watching the launch trailer. The comic makes no sence and it's not supposed to. Enjoy.
Life as Big Daddy is filmed in front of live studio audience ~
*audience applause*
*audience applause*
I cant see it. its just a little photo with an x in the upper left corner and I still cant see it even when click the picture
to be technical you never played as a true big daddy in the first game. you are only wearing the suit of one and had some of the pheromones of one, the only thing that happened to you that is done to a true big daddy is the voice box alteration you go thru, other than that you're still a human
love it!
this is a masterpiece friend! its amazing jajaja!
This is amazing lol
SPOILED LITTLE BRAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i like her
This is just hilarious to see how this actually fits the world of Rapture.
one word... rediculous XD though i wouldn't mind seeing more
Geez, Daddy. Put the drill down when reading the paper.
Pretty much the average day of a Big Daddy.XD
pretty hilarious XD
pretty hilarious XD
That bioshock comic is the best!
What happened to the newspaper on the last panel? Incinerate?
take a look at the left side of the the first panel
Oh, I didn't notice the glare.
The light and heat from the fireplace, glaring off his boot.
what does that have to do with you finding out what happened to the newspaper?
I loved how he had the drill through the paper
I like how the pipe is replacing the second tube...clever way in smoking, Also the mustache it would have made bioshock 2 10% better if he had a mustache the entire game
Dat mustache.
This would be an awesome show! Hey, maybe Robot Chicken could do this! Hah, mustache. XD
I'd watch this show.
I take back on that I'd say yes but I have to check out the place this afternoon
The audience isn't the only one laughing but yeah I won't let my daughter go either because I am WAY to protective
My god...you are a genius.
This. Is. Awesome!!
this is perfect
Best Delta comic I have ever encountered. Please continue.
This is...awesome.
I found out something interesting. In Bioshock 1, when you find Dr Suchong's body...pinned to his desk by a Big Daddy Drill. One thought can go into your mind after you listen to his audio recording showing his demise at the hands of a Big Daddy. The Bouncer theory was debunked because we've never seen a Bouncer without its drill. Rosie Big Daddy's have no drill. The Logical conclusion is that when Dr Suchong insulted and smacked a Little Sister, he acidentally angered the said Big Daddy which was revealled to be an Alpha Series. (The Big Daddy that you are in the boots of.)
This is known that Dr Sucho wa indeed killed by an Alpha Series.
This is known that Dr Sucho wa indeed killed by an Alpha Series.
then burial at sea episode TWO came out
And the Alpha Series theory went down the toilet as a Bouncer actually detached its drill after killing Suchong.
this was funny
full house, remove uncle joey, replace with big daddy! yer mind = blown 8O
Haha, nice
Win, just win
th funny thing is that johnny (delta) is said to have a moustache

Vettel becomes youngest Formula One champion
Vettel knew he could not afford to panic.
"You can't change what happened," he said. "But you can still change what will happen."
Ferrari ultimately paid the price for its cautious tactics Sunday.
The decision was clearly to tag Webber - who was eight points behind Alonso going into the race - as the main threat rather than Vettel, because a victory for the German was irrelevant so long as Alonso finished at least fourth.
But Alonso was overtaken by Button at the start and then pitted early on lap 16, allowing Rosberg and Petrov to stay ahead of him.
Webber went in for a tire change on the 12th lap in what looked like a precautionary measure after he brushed a crash barrier, and that prompted Ferrari into a panicky move, sending in Alonso for a tire change shortly after.
"Webber pitted and we tried to cover for him and when you cover for him you need to give way to others," Alonso said. "It was to choose between Vettel and Webber and Petrov or Rosberg. This is a sport. This is motor racing. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose."
Five laps later, anxiety was creeping in as Ferrari officials told Alonso over the race radio that it was critical that he pass Petrov. Alonso nearly clipped the Russian rookie as he tried to get past on lap 24.
Seven-time champion Michael Schumacher had a lucky escape when he escaped unhurt from a scary accident on the first lap.
The German's car was nudged by his Mercedes teammate Rosberg. As he tried to maneuver it back around, Italian driver Vitantonio Liuzzi could not get his Force India car out of the way and rolled over Schumacher's front, narrowly missing his head.
Both racers climbed out unscathed.
"I couldn't move anywhere as there were cars all around me, and then when the smoke cleared I saw Michael the wrong way round," Liuzzi said. "I couldn't do anything, but thankfully we were both OK."
The 41-year-old Schumacher finished without a podium place in his comeback season.
AP Sports Writer Michael Casey in Abu Dhabi contributed to this report.

Prador Moon
Neal Asher
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
The Polity Collective stretches from Earth Central into the unfathomable reaches of the galactic void. But when the Polity finally encounters alien life in the form of massive, hostile, crablike carnivores known as the Prador, there can only be one outcome – total warfare.
Chaos reigns as, caught unawares, the Polity struggles to regain its foothold and transition itself into a military society. Starships clash, planets fall and space stations are overrun. But for Jebel Krong and Moria Salem, trapped at the centre of the action, this war is far more than a mere clash of cultures, far more than technology versus brute force. This war is personal.
Prador Moon is one of Asher's most shocking excursions into the Polity's universe of over-the-top violence and explosive action – a vivid, visceral, brilliantly intense space opera that you won't forget soon.
Customer Reviews
An excellent writer.
Neal Asher knows exactly how to make action compelling and intense! He doesn't spend the majority of the time describing the technology or gear (a common mistake of other sci-fi authors). He has found the perfect balance between setting the scene and letting the reader build their own world out of the story.
The book is fast paced, in depth, and "up-close-and-personal." The story kept me interested and left me wanting keep reading at the end of each chapter. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in well written sci-fi.

At a party Saturday in her honor, Viola Jacobi was quiet and that was OK. Her age speaks for itself.
She turned 111 on Friday at the Lutheran Home in Wauwatosa.
Vi, if I may call her what her friends do, was a bit overwhelmed by the fuss that family and friends made over her at the party, and she wept when everyone sang "Happy Birthday."
As four generations of descendants reminisced all around her, Vi sat in her wheelchair, slipping in and out of sleep. Her vitality has diminished and her vision has dimmed since her last big party a year ago. But every now and then a smile crossed her face, her beautiful pale and translucent face.
An organization called the Gerontology Research Group tracks supercentenarians — people who make it to 110 and beyond — across the world. For ages 111 and above, the group says, there are just 22 verified living supercentenarians in the United States, all female, and 75 planet-wide.
But Vi is not listed in their records, so you wonder how hit-and-miss this science really is. Nonetheless, they report a woman named Anna Balsiger of Monroe, who died in 2001 at 112 years and 215 days, was the Wisconsinite who lived longest. The late Florence Busch of Waukesha, at 112 years and 161 days, was second.
The national U.S. age champion at 119 years and 97 days is Sarah Knauss of Pennsylvania, who died just two days before the calendar turned from 1999 to 2000. Knauss' daughter was 96 at the time of her mother's death. A distant second is Lucy Hannah at 117 years old. Currently, the oldest living American is Gertrude Weaver of Arkansas at age 116.
The Gerontology Research Group does not list any Wisconsinite 110 or older, so I'm declaring Vi Jacobi to be maybe, possibly the oldest living person in the state. To tell me I'm wrong, use the phone number and email below.
Vi was born Viola Minnie Kirchner on July 25, 1903, and grew up on the family farm in the Town of Granville at what's now the area of 76th and Hampton in Milwaukee. The middle child of three, she attended a one-room school near Silver Spring Drive.
"Her father would bring them with a horse and buggy. He was like the first school bus along 76th St. He'd pick up anybody from 76th and Hampton up to Silver Spring. Same with bringing them home," said Lois Tessmer of Wauwatosa, who at 84 is Vi's oldest living child.
Vi decided that farming wasn't to be her life, so after graduating from Wauwatosa High School she headed into Milwaukee to live and work. She met her husband, Conrad Jacobi, on a streetcar. They were married June 15, 1926, so she has circled that anniversary date on the calendar 88 times since then.
The couple raised four children in the area of 28th and Hadley. Their firstborn, Kenneth, died in 2009 at age 81, and daughter Marcia died in 1999 at 66. Youngest daughter, Judy Wold, 72, lives in Red Wing, Minn. Vi has 12 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren.
Conrad was an estimator for a plumbing and heating company. When the children were older, Vi took a job at a florist and remained there until she was 96, even learning the computer at age 90. She was honored as one of Milwaukee's oldest workers. She also remained very active at her church.
When Vi's father became elderly in the 1960s, she and Conrad moved back to the farm house where she grew up to help care for him. By then, the farm had been subdivided for homes. Conrad developed Alzheimer's disease, and Vi cared for him at home for 14 years until he died in 1989, just shy of his 90th birthday.
When Vi was 95, someone snatched her purse in the driveway and drove away with her car. She never drove again after that.
Vi continued living in the house until she was 106, moving then into a senior apartment in Menomonee Falls, then to assisted living in Glendale and finally into the Lutheran Home after she broke her hip for the second time.
Her longevity is partly genetic. Her father lived to be 95, and her German ancestors in the old country lived well into their 80s even back in the 1800s.
Vi survived breast cancer and skin cancer and other maladies and has just kept on keeping on. Her daughters say she has always been a shy and unassuming woman who never made a big deal about her increasingly astounding age.
"She doesn't really know how long she has lived and how impressive she is, quite honestly. She just says, 'How can I be that old?'" Judy said.
"Social Security came and interviewed her when she was 107 because they were trying to make sure that the Social Security they were paying out was for actual people. You know, live people," Judy said.
Happily, four years later, that still includes the remarkable Viola Jacobi.

Passmark Advanced Multi-User Tests
Version and / or Patch Used: 6.1
Developer Homepage: http://www.passmark.com
Test Homepage: http://www.passmark.com
Many users complain that I/O Meter is too complicated of a benchmark to replicate results so my quest to find an alternative was started. Passmark has added several multi-user tests that measure a hard drives ability to operate in a multi-user environment.
The tests use different settings to mimic basic multi-user operations as they would play out on your server. Variances is read / write percentage as well as random / sequential reads are common in certain applications, Web Servers read nearly 100% of the time while Database Servers write a small amount of data.
The Workstation test is the only single user environment and will be similar to how you use your system at home.
SandForce designs their controllers for the enterprise market first and then starts chipping away features not needed for the consumer products. The Vertex 3, even though it is a consumer product, is very fast in our enterprise tests. These are the highest we've seen from a single drive and in many cases higher than the two-drive RAID array tests.

Laugh A lot, Regret Little
First, a disclaimer: All of the detail contained herein is current, true and correct. I would appreciate the same. Second, a note: I appreciate winks, but they don't motivate me to a response. I think they are impersonal and an "easy" click of the mouse. I am much more likely to answer a note that simply says, "hello". ;) I am a social butterfly most of the time, but sometimes, I just like peace and quiet. I read often and don't care that much for the TV. I like being active and spending time with family and friends. Some things I love... God, my baby girl (a Toy Poodle), family and friends, my church, laughing, a patio with a cool breeze, red wine, baking, being creative, Mexican food, cute shoes, live music (especially small venues), road trips, chocolate, flip flops, blue jeans, NIKE, fresh mojitos, gardening, swimming, the Texas Hill Country, chocolate chip multigrain organic pancakes, Berryhill, sleep overs, kids, sports, manis/pedis, dressing up, a good adrenaline rush, ice cream, group exercise, cheering for the home team and photography. Some things I would like about you... you love God and other people, are a hard worker, have a positive/can do attitude (most of the time anyway), are selfless, you pick up after yourself, are tidy and well kept, exercise and eat healthfully (most of the time), like to travel, are able to give and receive forgiveness, interested in growing as a person, are willing to part with shoes and underware that have holes, are considerate of others and communicate well. And hopefully, you are willing to wear pink, especially on a tie! ;-) These are just some things that came to mind and this list is, by no means, exhaustive. It's only a guide as to what I like and should not be considered "deal breakers". I like happy, loving and caring people. Low maintenance is always good! By the way... if you have kids, it's not a deal breaker, but if you don't want kids (or anymore kids), that's a deal breaker. Please pass me by. I am not a football fanatic, but if you are, I can hang! I prefer to do the entertaining portion of the party with plenty of snacks and drinks. I know the game, the rules and nomenclature, it's just very rough! I know, guys like that; I just don't care to see anyone break their neck and I know several who have! However, if you own a glove, I'll be your best friend, well maybe! I've been an athlete my entire life and prefer if you are too! If we had to walk a tight rope together or had to be on a game show, I'd like some steady coordination and your help to WIN! LOL LOVE is a great antidote to the ups and downs of everday life. Especially phileo love, of which is based on a deep rooted friendship! I believe the other forms of love then become more "sticky" with a great friend. I want my house built on a rock, not on shifting sand! Please tell me you are a carpenter! LOL "But three things remain, faith, hope and love. But, the greatest of these is love". 1 Cor 13:13 ;-)

My favs - friends, family, blue jeans, flip flops, the internet, milk, sunshine, cinnamon toast, blue eyes, confidence, my mobile phone, pictures, red wine, mexican food, iced tea, rainy days, the smell of freshly cut grass and bubble baths!
I love baseball/softball, whether going to a game or playing the game. Athletic activities are always a hit with me. I like to be lazy too and just hang around at home. Of course, I like all kinds of girl things like shopping & manicures & pedicures.
Bible, lots of stuff in my kindle, tons of email, facebook and whatever else I can get my hands on. I am currently super interested in food and nutrition, particularily superfoods.

More items for
Coating Materials
Stonhard, maker of polymer floor, wall and lining systems, has introduced a new product line formulated to address moisture issues in parking garages, pedestrian bridges, stadiums, mechanical equipment rooms and indoor spaces.
The new Stongard line of epoxy- and urethane-based waterproof decking and membrane floor protection includes two new products and two rebranded Stonhard products. Each is available in a dozen colors.
4 Applications
Stongard TM, a new product, is designed to preserve parking structures. The textured system is made to withstand heavy traffic, salts, corrosive fluids and other harsh elements and is easy to clean. Additionally, it brightens dimly lit parking garages and can provide a helpful marking system, the manufacturer says. Stongard TM can also be used on stadium concourses, helipads and pedestrian bridges.
Stongard MR (formerly Stonflex LTE) is designed to protect mechanical equipment rooms and other indoor spaces that cannot tolerate moisture. This is especially critical in hospitals, where areas beneath mechanical equipment rooms require protection from leaks and moisture, the manufacturer notes.
Stongard MD (formerly Stonshield MRT) provides the same waterproofing performance as Stongard MR, but puts an additional focus on style to meet specific design expectations.
Stongard MX includes a fiberglass reinforcement, where specified, to satisfy spaces requiring positive side moisture protection.
Features, Warranty
Each Stongard product is designed to be abrasion-, crack- and slip-resistant and is backed by Stonhard's single-source warranty, which covers both product and installation.
More information: www.stonhard.com.

Hello all! My husband and I just moved to Vegas from San Diego about 2 weeks ago. He has family here, which is the big reason for our relocation as we don't have many back in SD. I'm originally from Riverside CA.

October 16, 2009—Northbrook, IL— People looking for DIY Halloween ideas can find an extensive resource at no cost with Halloween craft eBooks. FaveCrafts.com presents two Halloween craft eBooks, one compiled from popular craft manufacturers and one from the contributions of talented craft bloggers. Crafts can download and print these craft eBooks for free.
Each eBook includes a collection of Halloween craft projects, organized into categories for decorating the home, creating costumes and other wearable items and preparing for a Halloween party. Free Halloween craft projects offer an alternative to purchasing Halloween items online or in retail stores. With inexpensive materials and free craft projects like those available for download in craft eBooks, people can participate in the festivity of Halloween at minimal cost.
In addition to the cost-saving benefit of crafting, people can use Halloween craft ideas to create one-of-a-kind, personalized items to wear, give and decorate this Halloween. Crafting prevents the embarrassing problem of having the same Halloween costume or decorations as your neighbors, when purchased from the same local retail store. Free craft projects provide a fun outlet for individuality and personal expression.
Crafters can choose from the Homemade Halloween eBook, featuring 31 free Halloween craft projects, or the How to Halloween: Blogger Edition eBook, a 52-page guide to the perfect homemade decorations and costumes. Crochet a Halloween wreath, scarecrow or pumpkin with Halloween crochet patterns. Entertain the kids with fun and easy Halloween crafts for kids, including cheesecloth bats and ghosts.
