text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Killala of the Glow (seen in the Sandman book Endless Nights DC universe) is one of the first of her race able to manipulate a glowing green force called " The Glow" with the power of her mind. A Maltusian ancestor of the Guardians of the Universe (founders of the Green lantern Corps). Experimenting with her new Glow abilities she makes contact with the Dreaming and Dream. This brings her to the attention of Dream the Eternal ruler of all Dreams. Brother to Death, Despair, Desire, Delirium, Destruction, and Destiny one of the Eternal seven. He falls in love with Killala and the two start a whirlwind romance that consumes Dream's life. Right up until she meets the sentient embodiment of her peoples' star, Sto-OA, the actual sun of Oa in humanoid form of her peoples' world. This happened during a trip Dream had taken her on. To a meeting of Universal beings made manifest in humanoid form unknown to Killala of course Dream forgot to tell her this. It is during this accord of great Universal manifestations that Desire, Dream's sibling, starts to play and influence Killala who falls in love with Sto-OA. They are seen by Dream fulfilling this love in an embrace. Killala comes to learn the truth that the beings that surround her are not mere aliens but the raw living spirits of the Universe. Terrified of what she learns about Dream she retreats through use of the Glow into the arms of Sto-Oa and together they stay until her own light ends and is then embraced by Sto-OA for eternity. Desire's influence over Killala and Sto-Oa that day ended what love and friendship Dream had for his sibling Desire.

But, but Tyson Jackson had a career-high 3 sacks this year, bringing his career total to 5. I can still remember Hack and I laughing when Jackson was picked. It destroyed a portion of our mock, but it was really funny.
Unless the Chargers believe in the Spikes curse, I think they should keep him. When he gets there, he makes the tackle. Now, $3.7MM is expensive for a guy that age, but sometimes it is okay.
I wouldn't think the Raiders (or any team for that matter) will be able to accumulate extra money from this point forward given the peer pressure caused by the league needing to average a 95% spend rate with no team falling below 89% in a given year. It just seems highly unlikely.
Sadly, a lot of Oakland spending won't be on players who are playing for them.

Letter: Against tide that would take Christ out of Christmas, we must leave light on
Glen Clifton, Port St. Lucie
Letter: Against tide that would take Christ out of Christmas, we must leave light on
December always brings attacks on Christmas. This ridiculous, politically correct attempt against those who believe in the birth of the Savior, is an attempt to advance a Christ-less version of Christmas. Every year the war begins mostly with civil libertarians and atheists who want to eliminate Christian traditions.
Atheists attacked Christmas, filing suit against an elementary school for showing, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (a 1965 cartoon) that exposed children to Christianity. Poor Charlie Brown and Linus. Duh? One 5-year-old boy said we should warn the wise men seeking Jesus — that talking about Him might get them in trouble.
Atheist Michael Stone wrote, "It's a time of winter solstice … Religion is just myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."
Santa Claus, Christmas trees, tinsel, lights and mistletoe have nothing to do with Immanuel, God with us. Should we who love Christmas surrender our beliefs and traditions? Why does this minority have the right to impose its desires on the majority? It's terrible that the dominant faith in this country is expunged from our culture, schools and traditions.
The comic strip "Pogo" once declared, "We have met the enemy, and he is us." The Christian community must have enough of what it takes to turn the tide, and stop the decay of its traditions.
The store clerk said, "Happy Holidays." I just smiled and said, "Merry Christmas to you!" She smiled and said, she couldn't say that. If Christ is to be in Christmas, believers in this holiday must keep Christ in Christmas.
"I personally resent the fact that Christ is being taken out of the picture," one TV commentator said. "The lights are Christmas lights and the greeting should be 'Merry Christmas,' not 'Happy Holidays.'
I say, "Amen," to that.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 3/24/13
Beatriz Recari had three-putted No. 18 in regulation and again on the first hole of a playoff with I.K. Kim as dusk approached Sunday. Here she was again, with a chance to win the Kia Classic. This one was true enough that Recari began her victory celebration even before her 18-foot birdie putt from the fringe rolled into the cup. The 25-year-old from Pamplona, Spain, raised her right fist and, after the ball rolled in, raised both arms in the air and smiled. She later put her hands to her face and wiped away tears as her caddie boyfriend, Andreas Thorp, put his arm around her. ''There was a lot going on,'' Recari said. ''I had a good feeling, but the same as the other putts. The other ones went by and missed the hole. This one went in. I had the same process and the same shot. Nothing different. I'm always trying to do my best. It just dropped in.'' It was her first LPGA Tour victory since her rookie season of 2010. Recari said she was emotional because she was thinking of '...

I'd love to see an example of how this would look end-to-end with a container managed environment - i.e., how would you incorporate multitenancy into a managed bean (JSF, EJB etc.) currently using @PersistenceContext?
I suppose you could inject a @PersistenceUnit instead, but then how would you manage the EntityManager lifecycle? @PersistenceContext does it all for you. If you do something like call EntityManagerFactory.createEntityManager(map) in a @PostConstruct method, when do you close it? How does it participate in transactions? etc.

Dmitri ShostakovichDmitri Shostakovich was born in St. Petersburg, Russia on September 12, 1906, and is regarded as one of the greatest composers of symphonies in the Twentieth Century. He grew up in relatively privileged circumstances in the pre-Revolutionary era. He attended a private school from 1915 to 1919 where his classmates were children of the elite of society. He had a very musical family, but it was in 1915, when he saw his first opera that he was inspired to begin studying music.

Grid-scale energy storage breakthrough? Upgrading vanadium redox batteries
By: SGN Staff
Quick Take:It's still too early to know if the discovery described below can make it out of the laboratory. Many technologies that work well in lab quantities cannot be manufactured at scale or do not perform as well in large settings. But if it does pan out, it could mean a step-change in the cost and capacity of flow batteries, which have great potential for grid-scale storage.
Many observers expect storage breakthroughs to come - if they come at all - from lithium-ion, which is the focus of so much research around the world. Here's a reminder that there are other possibilities, especially for the grid. Grid storage doesn't have to be as compact, as lightweight or operate at the same temperatures as batteries for cars and consumer electronics. - Jesse Berst
Vanadium redox batteries have been thought of as promising for grid-scale energy storage for some time, but their narrow operating temperature range and high cost have sidelined them. However, a fairly simple tweak (simple for scientists anyway) at DOE's Pacific Northwest Regional Laboratory (PNNL) could change all that.
Under lab conditions, the modified flow battery's storage capacity jumped by 70% and its operating temperature was boosted from a range of 50-104 degrees Fahrenheit to between 23 and 122 degrees, making it far better suited for working in colder and warmer temperatures.
"Our small adjustments greatly improve the vanadium redox battery," said PNNL chemist Liyu Li, lead author of a report on the project. "And with just a little more work, the battery could potentially increase the use of wind, solar and other renewable power sources across the electric grid. The adjustments he refers to are adding hydrochloric acid to the sulfuric acid typically used as an electrolyte in the batteries.
In addition to much improved storage capacity and operating temperature range, the batteries are very efficient, generate power quickly and can be idle for long periods without losing capacity. But don't expect to see the new and improved battery on the market anytime soon. Researchers concede that while initial results are promising, more research is necessary.

Originally written on The Outside Corner | Last updated 1/19/13
Some sad news to report this Saturday morning, as legendary Baltimore Orioles manager and Baseball Hall of Famer Earl Weaver has passed away at age 82. Weaver reportedly passed away last night while on a cruise. During the summer, the Orioles unveiled a statue of Weaver at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Weaver managed the Orioles from 1968 to 1982, coming back to finish out the 1985 season and manage the team in 1986. Under Weaver, Baltimore won three AL pennants in a row from 1969 to 1971, and also the 1979 AL pennant. Baltimore also won the 1970 World Series with Weaver at the helm of the team, Weaver's .583 winning percentage is the best of any manager in team history, and his 1480 career wins are nearly 1000 more than Jimmy McAleer, who managed the team a century ago when they were the St Louis Browns. Weaver also has a place in history as one of the best managers the game has ever seen. That .583 winning percentage is ninth all-time, and only Al Lopez has a better winning percentage of any manager in the last 50 years. Weaver was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996, which perhaps ironically, was the last class until 2013 that the BBWAA didn't elect a player. Weaver was known on the field fo his explosive temper, as you can see in this clip (warning: very vulgar). But he'll go down in history as the best manager in Orioles history, and one of the best in the history of the game. Rest in peace, Earl. [follow]

Just looking to collect some real world experience here. What were your toddlers symptoms of CP illness?
There has been a few cases of wild Chicken pox locally and although my DD {33 months} wasn't purposefully exposed some kiddos in our circle were. She has been not feeling well at all for the past few days and it has been unlike any other illness thus far and I am starting to wonder about CP. So, from what I read on Dr. Google loose stools aren't a usual symptom, but we ran into a boy who just got over CP and his mama explained very similar symptoms to what my DD has right now--included--a week or 2 or general 'not feeling herself'--loose stools, snotty, fever, sleeping more, drinking more water.
So, did anyone else have kiddos with a similar set of symptoms prior to CP?

D&D Encounters : Elemental Evil, Princes of the Apocalypse
Called by the Elder Elemental Eye to serve, four corrupt prophets have risen from the depths of anonymity to claim mighty weapons with direct links to the power of the elemental princes. Each of these prophets has assembled a cadre of cultists and creatures to serve them in the construction of four elemental temples of lethal design. It is up to adventurers from heroic factions to work together to discover where the true power of each prophet lay, and dismantle it before it comes boiling up to obliterate the Realms.

Terry Logan (formerly Terry Nokell) is the Logger's Daughter. She grew up in Seabeck, Washington, in and around her father's saw mill and logging business. Age five, Terry picked up a needle, thread and fabric and created a purse with a button. Her hand sewing success was followed, at age eleven, with a sewing machine and sewing lessons. Next came jewelry-making and ceramic classes, and so began a life of creative work that reaches far beyond the evergreen forests.
Terry is known for her original designs in clothing, high fired ceramic buttons and accessories and clay masks. Her fashions are featured in boutiques in the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii. Her buttons, designed to complement her fashion designs, are also carried in yarn and gift shops. Galleries in Washington and Hawaii feature her clay masks and unique ceramic art.
Each creation from The Logger's Daughter is one of a kind. Customers can request custom designs and clothing made-to-order and made-to-fit.
Terry says: "Clothing may be the most visible expression of who we are. My goal is to create high quality, carefully finished clothing that can be savored with each wearing."

It's better to be absolutely ridiculous than boring
I'm a walking contradiction. It makes life interesting. Want examples? Let's go - I'm shy, but I talk a lot. I hate country music, but love a lot of what they talk about in country songs, like bonfires, camping, and nights spent talking under the stars. Rock music, horror movies, and tattoos are awesome, but looking at me I probably could've walked out of a LOFT/New York and Company or American Eagle/PacSun ad (depending on whether it's a workday or dress down kind of day haha). I like the atmosphere in a lot of bars, but don't really like beer and I hate getting trashed. I'm a romantic, but hate most chick flicks and I'm not into rushing things, falling in love fast, or too much mushy-mushy stuff. Got an idea of what I mean now? I'm not on this site to settle down with someone tomorrow. I'm 25. I want to enjoy the heck out of my life as much as possible. That means crazy fun adventures, laughter, spontaneity. Dating and seeing if it goes anywhere. If it doesn't, too bad but at least we'll have had fun. If it does, then wow, awesome. I do admit that I have a little girl, but there's so much of me that's not mom-me, that I can't stand it when a guy says, "I'm not really looking for that kind of responsibility right now." Honestly? You will NOT meet her unless it gets pretty serious. I want to know it's more than just dating before I involve anyone in that part of my life. Right now? You get me on the days/nights I'm being just me. That means you want to grab drinks at a bar, stay out late? If she's with her dad, I'm all for it. Dinner at a cool restaurant, catch a movie, make stupid bets on pool or darts, take a drive somewhere for a random adventure? Yeah, let's do it! And to not make this a mile long, please don't message me unless you're NOT God's gift to women, a chronic cheater or liar, out of shape, or the jealous, distrusting type. Basically, I want an attractive, confident guy who loves his life, but also knows how to treat a girl right. Can't be that hard, right? ;)

Extremists abduct 91 more people in NigeriaBy HARUNA UMAR
and MICHELLE FAUL
the associated press | June 25,2014ap file photo
People attend a vigil in May to mark one month since the girls of a government secondary school in Chibok were kidnapped, in Abuja, Nigeria. Islamic extremists have abducted 60 more girls and women and 31 boys from villages in northeast Nigeria, witnesses said Tuesday, Security forces denied the kidnappings. Nigeriaís government and military have attracted international censure for their slow response to the abductions of more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped April 15.MAIDUGURI, Nigeria Extremists have abducted 91 more people, including toddlers as young as 3, in weekend attacks on villages in Nigeria, witnesses said Tuesday, providing fresh evidence of the militarys failure to curb an Islamic uprising and the governments inability to provide security.
The kidnappings come less than three months after more than 200 schoolgirls were taken in a mass abduction that embarrassed Nigerias government and military because of their slow response. Those girls are still being held captive.
The most recent victims included 60 girls and women, some of whom were married, and 31 boys, witnesses said.
A local official confirmed the abductions, but security forces denied them.
There was no way to safely and independently confirm the report from Kummabza, 150 kilometers (95 miles) from Maiduguri, capital of Borno state and headquarters of a military state of emergency that has failed to curtail near-daily attacks by Boko Haram fighters.
Vigilante leader Aji Khalil said Tuesday the abductions took place Saturday in an attack that killed four villagers. Khalil lives in Maiduguri but gets reports daily from other vigilante groups that have had some success in repelling Boko Haram with primitive weapons.
A senior councilor from the villages Damboa local government told The Associated Press that abductions had occurred but spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to give information to reporters. He said the reports came from elderly survivors of the attack who had walked some 25 kilometers (15 miles) to the relative safety of other villages.
An intelligence officer with Nigerias Department of State Security also said there had been a mass abduction, but he said it occurred in Kummabza and three nearby villages between June 13 and 15, and that no one knows the actual number abducted. He also spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to reporters.
There was no way to reconcile the confusion, which also surrounded the first mass abduction in mid-April.
Several prominent Nigerians questioned whether those abductions had taken place, including first lady Patience Jonathan, who claimed the reports were fabricated to discredit her husbands administration.
Last week, a presidential committee investigating the April kidnappings stressed that they did happen and clarified the number of students who have been kidnapped. It said there were 395 students at the school 119 who escaped during the siege of the school and another 57 who escaped in the first couple of days of their abduction, leaving 219 unaccounted for.
U.S. Rep. Chris Smith met earlier this month with one of the girls who escaped.
Almost two months later, clearly she was still traumatized you could hear it in her quivering voice and see it in her eyes. Yet she spoke mostly of her deep concern for her friends and classmates still in captivity and pleaded for their immediate rescue, he said in a statement issued Tuesday.
But Smith, a Republican from New Jersey, also quoted testimony to the House Foreign Relations Committee last week by another former U.S. ambassador, Robin Renee Sanders, who warned that Nigeria is in the beginning of a long war. ... There is no easy fix.
John Campbell, a former U.S. ambassador to Nigeria who is an analyst with the Council of Foreign Relations, predicted that kidnappings would continue because, for Boko Haram, the strategy has been remarkably successful: It focuses attention on the shortcomings of the Nigerian government.MORE IN Wire NewsPress that white button!

'The Dodgers Network' to launch on Feb. 25
The Dodgers and Time Warner agreed to a massive television deal worth between $7 billion and $8 billion last year, an agreement that gives the team its own regional network, SportsNet LA. Plans and details about the network have been mostly a secret, but we finally know the launch date courtesy of a billboard along a Los Angeles freeway:
First we've seen of a start date for Dodgers channel - a billboard off 405 in Culver City #sportsnetLA pic.twitter.com/76NyPseJW4— Tom Hoffarth (@tomhoffarth) January 9, 2014
Six weeks and five days from Thursday. Nomar Garciaparra, Orel Hershiser, Jerry Hairston Jr. and Alanna Rizzo (formerly of MLB Network) will be among the network's on-air talent.
The Dodgers are the latest MLB club with their own television network, joining the Yankees (YES), Mets (SNY), Red Sox (NESN), Orioles and Nationals (both MASN).

Mike Shanahan's decision to keep Robert Griffin III in the Seahawks-Redskins game will likely be dissected until the 2013 season begins. Griffin didn't look 100 percent to start the game, but he was healthy enough to keep the offense going and score two touchdowns against the Seahawks' defense. During the first quarter, though, it was obvious that Griffin re-aggravated his knee injury, and he was limping much more noticeably afterwards. He left the field to get his knee check on, then went back into the game until the fourth quarter. The Redskins didn't score after his knee got re-injured, and the decision to keep him in eventually led to what looked like a more serious knee injury. Shanahan said Griffin told him he was "hurting, but not injured," according to Mike Jones of the Washington Post. Griffin told the media after the game that he felt he could help the team despite his knee injury and if Shanahan had told him to come out of the game, he would have gone right back out onto the field.

Art on the Green kicks off 45th year | Arts & Culture
The 45th annual Art on the Green kicks off Friday afternoon. A highlight of summer in Coeur d'Alene, Art on the Green showcases artists and musicians from across the country.
The weekend event is sponsored by the non-profit Citizens' Council for the Arts. The group uses all the money raised from food sales and commissions to produce Art on the Green and to support other arts centered special projects.
Over 145 artists working in a variety of mediums will be show casing their work Friday afternoon through Sunday. Glass, jewelery, painting, photography, pottery, and wood are among this year's artist categories, providing something for every kind of art enthusiast.
This year's poster was designed by Spokane sculptor Harold Balazs. Balazs is the artist responsible for the Rotary Fountain in Riverfront Park. He also worked alongside other artists and volunteers to create the "Art Space" at the Harding Family Center. Balazs has been a volunteer and support of Art on the Green since it started in 1968.
Art on the Green is located at the old Fort Sherman Grounds on the North Idaho Campus and runs Friday afternoon, August 2nd, through Sunday evening, August 4th. Free shuttles from downtown are available.
You can find out more about Art on the Green by visiting their website, and to find out more about some of the artists that will be there visit the Art on the Green Facebook page.

By Greg GelpiThe Clayton County Board of Education will hold a special meeting at 6 tonight to discuss the employee dental plan and have a preliminary budget review. The personnel committee discussed the dental and life insurance plans of school system employees last week during a committee meeting. The board approved a life insurance bid, but the committee wanted to wait on voting on the dental plan. Members of the personnel department and a consultant hired by the school system recommended accepting a bid from current dental provider Delta Dental, but committee members, including Connie Kitchens, weren't convinced it was the best bid. "I don't have enough information and the questions I ask you say you'll get me the information," Kitchens said in the committee meeting. "These are just poor rationales why I should put my hand up for this. I'm looking at this as what is in the best interest of employees and this is not it." Ruth Kennedy of the personnel department and an outside consultant recommended the Delta Dental bid. They said it would be more convenient than switching over to a new dental provider, provides access to more dentists and gives the "greatest opportunity for us to save money because the likelihood of our employees being on the network." Board Chairwoman Nedra Ware was upset with the timing, explaining she wished she had more time to review the bids. "We're messed up if we do," Ware said. "We're messed up if we don't." Kennedy said the board should approve a bid for a dental plan so that her department can provide information to employees and they can participate in the program during open enrollment. At 6:30 p.m., the finance and budget committee of the board will have a meeting to make a presentation on the school system's budget. The school system could be $4 million short of its budgeted revenue for this fiscal year and could be even worse off in fiscal year 2005. Gov. Sonny Perdue has proposed cutting about $380 million in education funding. The committee meeting is part of the board's newly adopted regular meeting schedule of its committees. The following is a schedule of the regular committee meetings: Personnel committee - 5 p.m. on the first Monday of the month, Legislative committee n quarterly at 6:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month, Finance and budget committee - 6:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month, Community relations committee n quarterly at 6:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month, Policy committee n 6:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of the month, Curriculum and instruction committee n 6 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of the month and Facilities committee n 6:30 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of the month.

This Application claims priority of Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/103,761 filed Oct. 9, 1998
1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to methods for making block copolymers for use in producing surgical articles such as sutures, and more particularly to a method for making bioabsorable block copolymers by transeterifying two or more pre-polyers.
2. Background of Related Art
Methods for making monofilaments that are suitable surgical sutures generally include the steps of extruding a least one bioabsorable or nonbioabsorable polymer to provide filaments, drawing, or stretching the solidified filaments to achieve molecular orientation and annealing th edrawn filaments to relieve internal stresses. Se, e.g. U.S. Pat. Nos. 392,891, 3,106,442, 3,630,205, 4,911,165, 5,217,485 and U.K. Patent Specification No. 1,588,081 and European Patent Application No. 415,783.
Examples of copolymers used to fabricate surgical articles such as sutures include, for example, diblock copolymers, symbolized by an AB block structures, or triblock copolymers, sybolized by an ABA block structure, wherein A and B present polymeric chain having repeating units of a given type wherein the A chain and the B chain are each normally derived from different monomer components of different combinations of monomers. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,826,945 to Cohn et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 4,438,253 to Casey et al.
Transesterification that occurs in bioabsorbable polyesters produces a high degree of shuffling and randomness which prevents the resulting transesterfied copolymer from having a well defined block structure. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,252,701 to Jarrett et al. Such randomness also affects the properties of the final surgical product, such as in vivo strength retention as well as other chemical and physical properties such as solubility, brittleness, and rate of absorption. It would be desirable to have a simple method to make a surgical article from a bioabsorbable block copolymer through a transesterification reaction while maintaining a well defined block structure.
Methods for making a bioabsorbable block copolymer are provided herein. The methods include melt extrusion of two polymeric components at time and temperature conditions such as to effect transesterification and formation of a copolymer having well defined block structure with little shuffling between the blocks. The polymeric components can each be a homopolymer or a copolymer.
Various embodiments are described herein with reference to the drawings, wherein
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of an apparatus which is suitable for carrying out the method described herein to form a filament;
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of further processing, including stretching and heating, of the resulting filament.
Block copolymers are made using the methods described herein by mixing pellets or powder of a first polymeric component with pellets or powder of a second polymeric component, loading the mixed pellets or power into an extruder, extruding the mixture of polymers and optionally quenching the extruded copolymer. The temperature and duration of heating within the extruder are controlled so as to effect transesterification of the two polymeric components while maintaining a well defined block structure of the resulting copolymer.
The extrusion temperature must be at least a minimum to accomplish transesterification, yet it should not be so high as to degrade the polyester starting materials or to generate substantial shuffling of the molecular structure of the starting polyesters. The term "shuffling" as used herein refers to mixing of the A block with the B block of the copolymer so that conventional block structure is lost and a random or segmented (AB)n structure is produced. While some small degree of shuffling may, as a practical matter, be unavoidable, substantial shuffling will convert conventional block structures (e.g., diblock AB or triblock ABA, or ABAB or ABABA, molecular structures etc.) to segmented block (AB)n or other random-type structures and should be avoided. Generally, the operating temperature ranges from about 50� C. to about 240� C., preferably from about 180� C. to about 220� C.
The residence time of the two polymeric starting components within the extruder should be sufficient to accomplish transesterification but insufficient to generate a substantial amount of shuffling or loss of block structure in the resulting copolymer. Suitable residence times will vary depending upon a number of factors such as the precise nature of the starting polyesters and the extrusion temperature and physical shape and size of the polymeric particles. The conditions employed should ensure a complete melt of the polymer mixture and a good mixing of the polymer starting materials. Generally, the higher the extrusion temperature, the shorter the residence time needed to obtain a desired degree of transesterification and vice versa. The residence time will normally be in the range of about 2 to about 20 minutes, preferably about 4 to about 10 minutes. The quench bath, which is provided to quickly cool the exiting filament, can be a bath of water maintained at a temperature of from about 25� C. to about 28� C.
The first and second polymeric components must be capable of undergoing transesterification to produce a block copolymer and can include any monomer or combinations of monomers known to form bioabsorbable polymers. The first and second polymeric components can be bioabsorbable homopolymers such as, for example, polyglycolide, polylactide, polydioxanone, polycaprolactone, polyalkylene oxide or polytrimethylene carbonate. Moreover, one or both of the first and second polyester components can be a copolymer made from a combination of monomers known to form bioabsorbable polymers. The aforementioned polymer starting materials are known to those with skill in the art and are in some cases commercially available in pellet or powder form. It should, of course, be understood that more than two polymeric starting materials can be employed to produce block copolymers having an ABC, ABCD, etc. structures. Addition of a catalyst is not generally necessary where the polymer used for mixing contains residual catalyst. However, small amounts of catalyst can be used if desired, to accelerate the transesterification in order to reduce the residence time.
Generally, the specific operating temperatures used to perform transesterification will depend on the particular mixture of polymer components and the ratios being used. The temperatures will typically be between the minimum melting temperature of the higher melting polymer and the maximum melting temperature of the lower melting polymer. For example, in the case of polymer components polydioxanone and polyglycolide, the temperatures will range from about 100� C., i.e., the minimum melting temperature for polydioxanone, to about 230� C., i.e, the maximum melting temperature of polyglycolide. In the event a greater amount of one polymer component is used, the operating temperature will approach the maximum operating temperature of that polymer component. Thus, e.g., in the case of polyglycolide being the major amount of the two polymer components used, the operating temperature will be closer to 230� C.
By keeping the processing temperature within the operating range given above shuffling can be kept below about 10%. That is, 90% or more of the resulting block copolymer will maintain the well defined block structure dictated by the polymeric starting materials with 10% or less having a segmented (AB)n or other type structure. The block structure of the resulting polymer can be measured by methods known to those skilled in the art such as, for example, 13C NMR.
Extrusion apparatus suitable for use in the method described herein are known and described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,217,485 and 5,456,696, both of which are herein incorporated by reference.
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a particularly useful apparatus for extrusion and quenching of a filament. Extruder unit 10 is of a known or conventional type and is equipped with controls for regulating the temperature of barrel 11 in various zones thereof, e.g., progressively higher temperatures in three consecutive zones A, B and C along the length of the barrel. Pellets or powder of polymer are introduced to the extruder through drier-hopper 12. Suitable polymers are discussed hereinbelow.
Motor-driven metering pump 13 delivers melt extruded polymer at a constant rate to spin pack 14 and thereafter through a spinneret 15 possessing one or more orifices of desired diameter to provide a molten filament 16 which then enters quench bath 17 where the filament solidifies. The quench bath is preferred, but optional, and preferably contains water. Shapes other than filaments can also be formed by an appropriately chosen die.
The distance filament 16 travels after emerging from spinneret 15 to the point where it enters quench bath 17, i.e. the air gap, can vary and can advantageously be from about 0.5 to about 100 cm. If desired, a chimney (not shown), or shield, can be provided to reduce the length of the air gap, e.g. from 1 to 10 cm, thereby isolating filament 16 from contact with air currents which might otherwise affect the cooling of the filament 16 in an unpredictable manner. Filament 16 is passed through quench bath 17 around driven roller 18 and over idle rollers 19 and 20. Optionally, a wiper (not shown) may remove excess water from the filament 16 as it is removed from quench bath 17. On exiting the quench bath the filament can be sent on for further processing such as aging and/or stretching operations.
For example, referring to FIG. 2, after the filament 16 exiting the quench bath 17 is passed over idler rollers 19 and 20, it is thereafter wrapped around a first godet 21. A nip roll 22 is provided to prevent slippage which might otherwise result from the subsequent stretching operation. Filament 16 passing from godet 21 is stretched in order to effect its orientation and thereby increase its tensile strength. Thus, in one type of stretching operation, generally suitable for smaller sutures, e.g., sizes 4/0 to 8/0, filament 16 is drawn through heating unit 23, which can be an oven chamber or a hot liquid (such as water and glycerol) trough, by means of second godet 24 which rotates at a higher speed than first godet 21, thereby stretching the filament from three to nine times its original length. Where heating unit 23 is an oven chamber, its temperature is advantageously maintained at from about 40� C. to about 140� C. and preferably from about 50� C. to about 120� C. In the case of larger sutures, e.g., sizes 2 to 3/0, it is preferred that heating unit 23 be a hot liquid trough or bath which is maintained at a temperature of from about 30� C. to about 98� C. and preferably from about 40� C. to about 90� C.
After the above mentioned operation it is preferred to pass the filament 16 through a second heating unit 25, e.g., maintained at a temperature of from about 40� C. to about 140� C. and preferably from about 50� C. to about 120� C., by means of a third godet 26 to heat-treat the filament 16 prior to the equilibration and annealing operations. This second heat treatment results in on-line relaxation, or shrinkage, of the filament, e.g., for a recovery of from about 85 to about 97 percent, and preferably from about 90 to about 95 percent, of the stretched length of the filament. In order to accommodate this on-line shrinkage in the filament, the third godet is driven at a speed which is somewhat less than that of the second godet.
Following stretching and orientation (and, optionally, the aforedescribed second heat treating step) filament 16 is taken up on a spool which is then set aside for a period of time sufficient to permit the filament to achieve a condition of equilibration. While the period of equilibration may vary depending on the particular copolymer composition employed and/or the conditions under which the copolymer is extruded, cooled and oriented, in most cases storage of the filament following its orientation for at about 2 hours, preferably at least about 24 hours and more preferably at least about 3 days. It is generally preferred that the spooled filament be stored at ambient temperature, e.g., 18� C.-23� C., and a dew point below −12� C.
Thereafter, annealing may be accomplished by shrinkage of the suture, e.g., for a recovery of from about 75 to about 95 percent, and preferably from about 80 to about 90 percent, of its stretched length.
In carrying out the annealing operation, the desired length of equilibrated suture may be wound around a creel and the creel placed in a heating cabinet circulated with nitrogen and maintained at the desired temperature, e.g., 70� C. After a suitable period of residency in the heating cabinet, e.g., about 20 minutes to 24 hours, the suture will have undergone shrinkage, e.g., to about 85% of the stretched length for sutures of sizes 2 to 3/0, to about 90% of the stretched length for sutures of sizes 4/0 and 5/0 and essentially no shrinkage in the case of sutures of sizes 6/0 to 8/0. The creel may be rotated within the heating cabinet in order to insure uniform heating of the filament or the cabinet may be of the circulating hot air type in which case uniform heating of the filament will be achieved without the need to rotate the creel. Thereafter, the creel with its annealed suture is removed from the heating cabinet and when returned to room temperature, the suture is removed from the creel, conveniently by cutting the wound filament at opposite ends of the creel.
The filament formed from the block copolymer described herein can be used as a monofilament or it can be combined with other filaments to form a suture. For example, the filament can be interwoven, knitted or braided with filaments of the same or different chemical composition to achieve optimum absorption characteristics. Spinning and braiding of fibers to form multifilament sutures can be accomplished by any known technique such as those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,019,093 and 5,059,213, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The following examples will illustrate the features of this method.

The Randy Oxford Band continues its East Coast tour with this late night show at The Blue Note. The seven-piece band features notorious wild man and award-winning Oxford on trombone. Essentially blues-based, the band prides itself on showcasing music that defies easy classification. From classics like Etta James's "At Last," to originals that crackle with jazz licks and funky rhythms, the band builds on each player's creativity and talent. Randy and his band are looking forward to furthering their reputation for presenting high-energy shows, with well-crafted musical arrangements, inspired solos, and a spirited sense of fun.
The band is touring in support of their critically acclaimed Festival which has received extensive airplay throughout the country. The Randy Oxford Band earned a spot in the finals at the International Blues Challenge in 2011, resulting in appearances last year at Le Festival International de Tremblant, two successful tours of the Midwest, and upcoming shows at the San Diego Blues Festival, Bronze, Blues, and Brews Festival (Oregon), and the Big Sky Blues Festival (Montana).

2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Q&A
2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Question: I have a low coolant light and tem. is under 210 and coolant is full.
Their is a switch under coolant holder can it be bad n can i just un plug it? - vincent1941
2 Answers
Answer 1
Try tapping on the coolant bottle with a rubber mallet near the bottom and see if the warning goes out. If it doesn't, remove the coolant bottle, wash it out with a garden hose sprayer, then fill it with hot water and shake it for a minute to clean out any garbage inside. The sensor is probably just sticking due to buildup. Once cleaned, it'll most likely work fine. - ChevyASE
Answer 2
Yes you can unplug it but must jumper the connections to fake computer the bottle is full but may be the float is stuck inside the bottle lightly tap on it with a hammer and see if warning goes away. - dr detroit
