By Ed BrockFor 19-year-old Tiffany Frazier, the new Lovejoy Library has dual potential. On Monday she picked up an application to work at the new library on McDonough Road that is due to open in January. But as a college student at Gordon College in Atlanta, Frazier is also looking forward to using the library. "Instead of having to go up to college every day I can study here and do research here," said Frazier who is majoring in education. In a ceremony held on Dec. 19 the 12,000-square foot building was officially dedicated in outgoing Clayton County Commission Chairman Crandle Bray's name, and it is scheduled to open to the public on Jan. 10. The library's Branch Manager Annette Johnson and her staff are already in the new building, stocking the shelves that can hold 60,000 books and helping to put the finishing touches on their new workplace. Even her younger brother Mark Duncan, visiting from Virginia for the Christmas holidays, was there to help. "It's beautiful," Johnson said. From the working gas fireplace and upholstered chairs in the reading area to the star and moon-shaped stools in the children's area, the new library has an open feeling augmented by walls of windows. Johnson will have nine people on her staff, six full-time and three part-time. "I'm a computer person," said Johnson's second in command Gerald Walker. "I really am looking forward to getting to provide computer services." The new library will be a "hot spot" where anybody can come to plug in for wireless access to the Internet. Also, the library will offer training in basic computer skills and educational computer games for children. "We're the only branch in the county with a color copier," Johnson said. There's also a meeting room with a kitchen that will be for public use and other amenities. The building was paid for with a little over $1.4 million in from the state and $732,400 from the county plus the site. Bray said he's pleased to have the building named in his honor and called it the realization of a dream. "I hope it sets a trend for how the libraries look henceforth," Bray said.

Had a great day. Got a transfer direct from our hotel to the boat. The band on board we're great and really set the mood. When we arrived we went snorkeling which was free and although the water is quite deep you can still see a lot of fish. Not to be missed.

Doing what: Bali Monkey Forest, Mengwi Temple and Tanah Lot Afternoon Tour
From the time we were picked up from our hotel , our guide and driver made our long journey so relaxed and pleasant , in addition to the places we were due to visit along the way our guide stopped at place where they make local cloths , coffee/tea plantation and ate some of there local food , which the locals we met at these places were so lovely and made you really welcome. The monkey forest was brilliant , was so surprised that they were all roaming about the place we stopped at , we had a guide with us from there , which she walked around with us , we bought food for them to eat , which all of a sudden loads of them appeared and were so cute feeding from your hands , took loads of pictures of the monkeys and they just sat there posing . We also saw fruit bats which live in the same place as the monkeys but not too keen on them. The Mengwi Temple was beautiful, our guide gave us the full history of this , as walking around we were met with a load of local school children doing projects , which they stopped to ask us a few questions , they were lovely , the last was the best Tanah Lot , it was amazing and hundreds of people go to visit this place , which when the sunset goes down the scenery and views are outstanding , such a beautiful place , our guide and driver even waited whilst we had something to eat in a restaurant which sits on the top of a cliff and overlooks the sea , was so relaxing and the food was lovely . Would recommend this trip to anyone that wants to go on trips in Bali , the place itself is amazing and will never forget this holiday

The experience was amazing, Dena our instructor was the friendliest guy we met on our trip telling us stories of Bali's history and culture. He really made the experience better ten fold. The river is calm enough to relax on but still has the rapids to make it exciting, overall we had an amazing time.

We were a group of 4 over 60's and had a lovely day visiting the beaches around Bali and enjoying a few different resort venues for drinks. Not being the partying type, we probably didn't have as much fun as a group of young people would. The idea is great and the Kombi itself it fantastic. Very well maintained, clean and well equipped.
Certainly worth doing if you are looking for a different type of tour for your young, or young at heart group.
Driver and guide very very informative, helpful and spoke great English.

Marcophiles: Cafe de Marco's 'Sandy' helping Hurricane Sandy victims
Marco Island's "Jersey Girl," Sandy Franchino, wants you at her gourmet evening to raise money for victims of Hurricane Sandy. It's at Cafe de Marco, Wednesday, June 19, when scores of restaurants nationwide will host similar events for the cause.
Partial proceeds from the dinners will go to the Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund.
"I really want to do this, being born and raised in New Jersey," Sandy says. "I want to do something that will benefit my New Jersey roots, the places where I grew up and where I visited so often in summer down at the shore.
"As guests arrive at Cafe de Marco on the 19th, they'll be met music by famous New Jersey artists, such as Sinatra, Frankie Valli, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and more.
"Dinner guests can order off our regular menu, or from a special menu inspired by the cuisine of New Jersey." They include:
n Linguini with white clam sauce via the Clam Broth House in Hoboken.
n Osso bucco, Secaucus style.
n Sausage and Peppers, "a New Jersey thing."
n "Pencil Points," what many people in Trenton NJ call penne pasta.
n Saltwater Taffy from Atlantic City.
n A big hit may be "Waffle Sangwiches." Yes, "Sangwiches," as Sandy says it's pronounced in Jersey, "S-a-n-G-wiches."
"They're from the boardwalk at Seaside Heights," Sandy says, "triangle-shaped, toasted waffles with vanilla, chocolate or strawberry ice cream."
Also Sandy is importing cookies from Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken.
Reservations are urged, at (239) 394-6262. Prices are on the menus. Dinner will be served from 5 to 10 p.m.

Welcome to Northern Ireland Room with a view
One has to wonder why world leaders chose Northern Ireland for the G8 summit next week. That troubled land is simmering with violence, again, after centuries of people killing each other forever in the name of religion.
Recently that police defused a car bomb not far from the meeting site, I had a flashback to my first Northern Ireland experience 40 years ago.
As a London-based ABC News correspondent, I knew Northern Ireland was part of the territory, but I didn't expect my walloping welcome while checking in to a Belfast hotel.
I entered my room to find a "dear guest" notice: "Because of the troubles it may be necessary for our guests to evacuate the hotel on ... "
That's as far as I got. Ka-BOOM!
A blast blew out the room window, shards covering me and the floor. Someone pounded on the door as I tried to stand up.
It was my ABC cameraman, a Briton who'd been to Belfast often. His arm was around a shaking, bloody, teenaged chambermaid.
"Welcome to Northern Ireland" he said.
It was autumn, 1972. The leaves were gone; most of the trees were gone too, noncombatants in the crossfire of a thousand bullets. Troops patrolled key areas. Parts of town were dangerous for protestants; other neighborhoods were big trouble for Catholics.
School kids tangled relentlessly, fighting over their "faiths."
I had covered wars, revolutions and riots before, elsewhere, but Northern Ireland seemed the most pointless conflict in my checkered repertoire. I had been in country less than an hour, in my hotel room less than a minute, when the blast jolted me into the Belfast reality.
"What happened?" I asked the cameraman, tears on the maid's face streaking into trickles of blood down her forehead.
"She was looking out the hall window when it shattered."
Her injuries were bloody but superficial. The blast was from a bomb in a "car park," a parking lot next to the hotel. The bomber had phoned a warning to the hotel but the alarm system had failed and there was no time to alert all the guests. I brushed aside the broken glass and re-read the notice I'd been reading when the bomb went off.
"Because of the troubles, it may be necessary for our guests to evacuate the hotel on short notice. If you hear the warning bell, please leave your room ... walk down the stairs ... gather in the car park next door."
It's a good thing we didn't know to go to the parking lot for safety. That's where the bomb went off. Security will be tight when bigwigs gather to palaver.

Clinicians have often referred to ultrasound technology as the "stethoscope of the future," predicting that as the equipment shrinks in size, it will one day be as common at the bedside as that trusty tool around every physician's neck. According to a new report in The New England Journal of Medicine, that day has arrived.
The "Current Concepts" article by Yale School of Medicine clinicians Christopher L. Moore, M.D., and Joshua A. Copel, M.D., outlines how ultrasound use has moved beyond traditional specialties like radiology and is now being routinely employed by clinicians across myriad medical specialties and practice areas. From anesthesia to vascular surgery, Moore and Copel say, the use of ultrasonography has increased across the board, with the biggest growth seen among non-radiologists.
Over the past two decades, the equipment used in ultrasonographya safe, effective and non-invasive form of imaging that aids in diagnosis and guides procedureshas become more compact, higher quality and less expensive, leading to the growth of point-of-care ultrasonography, which is performed and interpreted by the clinician at the bedside.
"Ideally, point-of-care ultrasonography can decrease medical errors, provide more real-time diagnosis, and supplement or replace more advanced imaging in appropriate situations," said Moore, assistant professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Yale School of Medicine. "Point-of-care ultrasonography may also allow more widespread, less expensive screening for certain illnesses."
Ultrasound imaging uses the same sonar developed for ships at sea. As sound passes through the body it produces echoes, which can identify the distance, size and shape of objects inside. During an examination, a machine called a transducer is used to view an organ and produce pictures. The transducer emits sound and detects the returning echoes when it is placed on or over the body part being studied.'/>"/>

This invention relates to metallocenes. In another aspect this invention relates to catalyst systems useful for the polymerization of olefins. In another aspect this invention relates to methods for polymerizing olefins using specific types of metallocenes which can be referred to as unbridged metallocene of a substituted indenyl and cyclopentadienyl.
Since the discovery of ferrocene in 1951, a number of metallocenes have been prepared by the combination of compounds prepared from cyclopentadiene-type compounds and various transition metals. The term "cyclopentadiene-type compounds" as used herein refers to compounds containing the cyclopentadiene structure. Examples include unsubstituted cyclopentadiene, unsubstituted indene, unsubstituted fluorene, and substituted varieties of such compounds. Also included is tetrahydroindene.
Many of the cyclopentadiene-type metallocenes have been found useful in catalyst systems for the polymerization of olefins. It has been noted in the art that variations in the chemical structure of such cyclopentadienyl-type metallocenes can have significant effects upon the suitability of the metallocene as a polymerization catalyst. For example, the size and location of substitutions on cyclopentadienyl-type ligands has been found to affect the activity of the catalyst, the stereoselectivity of the catalyst, the stability of the catalyst, or various properties of the resulting polymer; however, the effects of various substituents is still largely an empirical matter, that is, experiments must be conducted in order to determine just what effect a particular variation in the chemical structure of the metallocene will have upon its behavior as a polymerization catalyst.
While there are references in the prior art which contain broad general formulas that encompass a vast number of unbridged metallocenes, it is considered unlikely that all of the metallocenes within the broad disclosures of publications have actually been prepared and evaluated for their polymerization effects. For example, while U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,049,535; 5,225,092; and 5,126,303 and WO 94/11406 contain allegations regarding a wide range of both bridged and unbridged metallocenes, the only actual examples of unbridged metallocenes are those in which two identical cyclopentadienyl-type ligands are present, i.e. symmetrical unbridged metallocenes. Similarly, while U.S. Pat. No. 5,331,054 names two unsymmetrical unbridged metallocenes, viz. (cyclopentadienyl) (indenyl) and (cyclopentadienyl) (fluorenyl) zirconium dichlorides, those compounds do not contain substituted indenyl groups and again the actual examples used symmetrical unbridged metallocenes. While published EPC application 685,485 discloses unsymmetrical unbridged metallocenes containing substituted indenyl groups, the metallocenes also contain a pentamethylcyclopentadienyl group. Similarly, while U.S. Pat. No. 5,223,467 proposes unsymmetrical unbridged metallocenes which could include substituted indenyl groups it also specifies that the other cyclopentadienyl ring also be substituted and it does not contain any actual examples having an indenyl ligand.
Many of the unbridged metallocenes have been found not to be sufficiently active in the polymerization of olefins to be of significant commercial interest. The aforementioned EPC 685,485 reveals that indenyl pentamethylcyclopentadienyl Zr dichloride is much more active than indenyl cyclopentadienyl, which in turn is much more active than either the bis indenyl or bis cyclopentadienyl counterparts. Prior to the present applicants' work there does not appear to have been any work which suggests what effect substituents on indenyl would have on an unsymmetrical unbridged (indenyl) (unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl) metallocene.
An object of the present invention is to provide certain new substituted indenyl-containing metallocenes. Still another object of the present invention is to provide polymerization catalyst systems employing the specific indenyl-type metallocenes. Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide processes for the polymerization of olefins using specific indenyl-type metallocene catalyst systems. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide catalyst systems which provide unusually high activity or molecular weight in the polymerization of olefins.
In accordance with the present invention, there are provided new unbridged substituted metallocenes of the formula (In)(Cp)MeQ2 wherein In is a substituted indenyl radical having a substituent in at least one of the 1, 2, and 3 positions, said substituents being selected from hydrocarbyl radicals having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, more preferably 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and trialkylsilyl radicals wherein the alkyl groups have 1 to 4 carbons; Cp is an unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl radical; Me is a transition metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, zirconium, and hafnium; and each Q is the same or different and is selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbyl radicals having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, alkoxy radicals having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, aryloxy radicals having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, hydrogen, and halides.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a catalyst system comprising the specific types of unbridged indenyl-containg metallocenes as described above in combination with a suitable cocatalyst.
In accordance with still another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a process for the polymerization of olefins comprising contacting said olefins under suitable reaction conditions with a catalyst system comprising an indenyl-containing metallocene as described above in combination with a suitable cocatalyst.
The novel metallocenes provided in accordance with the present invention are unbridged, that is the indenyl ligand and the cyclopentadienyl ligand that are bound to the metal are not bound to each other. In this disclosure the substituent locations are numbered in accordance with the IUPAC Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, 1979, rule A 21.1. Such numbering is illustrated in the figure in lines 22-26 on page 2 of the aforementioned WO 94/11406.
Most preferably the indenyl has 1 to 3 hydrocarbyl substitutents or one trialkylsilyl substituent, optionally with 1 or 2 hydrocarbyl substitutents, and each substituent is located at a different one of the 1, 2, or 3 positions of the indenyl. The metallocenes (1-phenyl indenyl) (cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride, (1,2,3-trimethyl indenyl) (cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride, (2-methyl indenyl) (cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride, (1-trimethylsilyl indenyl) (cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride, and (1,2-dimethyl indenyl) (cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride have been found to have particularly desirable characteristics.
The inventive metallocenes can be prepared using techniques similar to those that have been used in the past for making unsymmetrical metallocenes. One example involves reacting an alkali metal salt of the indenyl compound in a suitable solvent under suitable reaction conditions with a suitable transition metal compound, for example CpMCl3, wherein Me is Zr, Hf, or Ti.
An especially preferred method involves carrying out the reaction of the indenyl-containing salt and the transition metal compound in the presence of a liquid diluent which is non-halogenated and non-coordinating toward the transition metal compound. Examples of such suitable liquid include hydrocarbons such as toluene, pentane, or hexane as well as non-cyclic ether compounds such as diethylether. It has been found that the use of such non-halogenated non-coordinating solvents generally allows one to obtain large amounts of substantially pure metallocenes in a more stable form, and often allows the reaction to be conducted under higher temperature conditions, than when dichloromethane is used as the diluent.
The formation of the alkali metal salt of the indenyl compound can be formed using generally any technique known in the art. For example, such can be prepared by reacting an alkali metal alkyl with the substituted indene. The molar ratio of the alkali metal alkyl to the indene can vary; generally however, the ratio would be in the range of about 0.5/1 to about 1.5/1, still more preferably about 1/1.
Typically, the alkali metal of the alkali metal alkyl would be selected from sodium, potassium, and lithium, and the alkyl group would have 1 to 8 carbon atoms, more preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms. In the preferred embodiment if the indenyl salt is formed using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as the liquid solvent, the salt is isolated and substantially all of the THF is removed before the salt is contacted with the transition metal halide. The molar ratio of the indenyl salt to the transition metal compound can vary over a wide range depending upon the results desired. Typically, however, the indenyl salt is used at a molar ratio of the indenyl compound to the transition metal compound, i.e. CpMeCl3, of about 1 to 1.
The resulting metallocene can be recovered and purified using conventional techniques known in the art such as filtration, extraction, crystallization, and recrystallization. It is generally desirable to recover the metallocene in a form that is free of any substantial amount of by-product impurities. Accordingly, recrystallization and fractional crystallization to obtain relatively pure metallocenes is desirable. Dichloromethane has been found to be particularly useful for such recrystallizations. Since the stability of the various metallocenes varies, it is generally desirable to use the metallocenes soon after their preparation or at least to store the metallocene under conditions favoring their stability. For example the metallocenes can generally be stored in the dark at low temperature, i.e. below 0� C., in the absence of oxygen and water.
The resulting inventive indenyl-containing metallocenes can be used in combination with a suitable cocatalyst for the polymerization of olefinic monomers. In such processes the metallocene or the cocatalyst can be employed on a solid insoluble particulate support.
Examples of suitable cocatalyst include generally any of those cocatalyst which have in the past been employed in conjunction with transition metal containing metallocene olefin polymerization catalysts. Some typical examples include organometallic compounds of metals of Groups IA, IIA, and IIIB of the Periodic Table. Examples of such compounds have included organometallic halide compounds, organometallic hydrides and even metal hydrides. Some specific examples include triethyl aluminum, triisobutyl aluminum, diethyl aluminum chloride, diethyl aluminum hydride, and the like.
The currently most preferred cocatalyst is an aluminoxane. Such compounds include those compounds having repeating units of the formula ##STR1## where R is an alkyl group generally having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
Aluminoxanes, also sometimes referred to as poly(hydrocarbyl aluminum oxides) are well known in the art and are generally prepared by reacting an organo hydrocarbylaluminum compound with water. Such a preparation techniques are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,242,099 and 4,808,561. The currently preferred cocatalyst are prepared either from trimethylaluminum or triethylaluminum, sometimes referred to as poly(methyl aluminum oxide) and poly(ethyl aluminum oxide), respectively. It is also within the scope of the invention to use an aluminoxane in combination with a trialkylaluminum, such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,794,096.
The indenyl-containing metallocenes in combination with the aluminoxane cocatalyst can be used to polymerize olefins, especially alpha olefins having 2 to 12 carbon atoms. Often such polymerizations would be carried out in a homogeneous system in which the catalyst and cocatalyst were soluble; however, it is within the scope of the present invention to carry out the polymerizations in the presence of supported or insoluble particulate forms of the catalyst and/or cocatalyst. The catalyst is thus considered suitable for solution, slurry, or gas phase polymerization. It is within the scope of the invention to use a mixture of two or more of the inventive indenyl-containing metallocenes or a mixture of an inventive indenyl-containing metallocene with one or more other cyclopentadienyl-type metallocenes.
The indenyl-containing metallocenes when used with aluminoxane are particularly useful for the polymerization of ethylene in the presence or absence of other olefins. Examples of other olefins that might be present include mono-unsaturated aliphatic alpha-olefins having 3 to 10 carbon atoms. Examples of such olefins include propylene, butene-1, pentene-1, 3-methylbutene-1, hexene-1, 4-methylpentene-1, 3-methylpentene-1, heptene-1, octene-1, decene-1, 4,4-dimethyl-1-pentene, 4,4-diethyl-1-hexene, 3-4-dimethyl-1-hexene, and the like and mixtures thereof
The polymerizations can be carried out under a wide range of conditions depending upon the particular metallocene employed, and the results desired. Examples of typical conditions under which the metallocenes can be used in the polymerization of olefins include conditions such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,242,099; 4,892,851; and 4,530,914. It is considered that generally any of the polymerization procedures used in the prior art with any transition metal based catalyst systems can be employed with the present inventive indenyl-containing metallocenes.
The amount of cocatalyst can vary over a wide range. It is currently preferred for the molar ratio of the aluminum in the aluminoxane to the transition metal in the metallocene to be in the range of about 0.1: 1 to about 100,000: 1 and more preferably about 5:1 to about 15,000: 1. In many cases, the polymerizations would be carried out in the presence of liquid diluents which do not have an adverse affect upon the catalyst system. Examples of such liquid diluents include propane, butane, isobutane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, toluene, xylene, and the like. The polymerization temperature can vary over a wide range, temperatures typically would be in the range of about -60� C. to about 300� C., more preferably in the range of about 20� C. to about 160� C. Typically the pressure would be in the range of from about 1 to about 500 atmospheres or greater.
The polymers produced with this invention have a wide range of uses that will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the physical properties of the respective polymer.
Various techniques can be used for preparing the substituted indenes needed for producing the metallocenes of the present invention. Monoalkyl substituted indenes can be produced by alkylation of indenyl lithium. It has been discovered that less of the disubstitution products are obtained if the alkylation is conducted using diethyl ether as a reaction medium rather than THF. The 1-phenyl indenyl can be produced by reacting 1-indanone with phenylmagnesium bromide and then dehydrating the resulting 1-phenyl-1-indanol. This is preferably conducted in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid in toluene. An analogous procedure can be used to produce alkyl and aryl 2-substituted indenes. For example, a Grignard reaction of 2-indanon can be conducted using the respective alkyl or aryl halide. Multiple alkyl or aryl substituted indenes can be produced through reaction of the respective substituted 1-indanone with the appropriate Grignard reagent followed by dehydration of the produced indanol. For example 12,3-dimethyl-1-indanone or 3-methyl-indanone can be reacted with methyl magnesium iodide to yield the respective methyl substituted indanol which is dehydrated to 1,2,3-trimethylindene or 1,3-dimethyl indene, respectively. In the latter case a mixture of p-tosyl chloride and pyridine is preferably used to effect the dehydration of the hydroxy group. The reduction of 2,3-dimethyl-1-indanone with lithium aluminum hydride and further elimination of water with p-toluenesulfonic acid leads to 1,2-dimethylindene. The compound 3-phenyl-1-methyl indene can be prepared by reacting 3,3-diphenylpropionic acid with aluminum trichloride in dichloromethane to obtain 3-phenyl-l-indanone which in turn is reacted with methyl magnesium iodide to produce the indanol which was then dehydrated with p-toluenesulfonic acid. A similar technique can be used to prepare 1-phenyl-3-phenyl indene by substituting phenyl magnesium bromide for the methyl Grignard reagent. Trimethylsilyl substituted indenes can be obtained by reacting the lithium salt of a substituted or unsubstituted indene with trimethylchlorosilane. Preferably this is done in diethyl ether. Such a technique has been used to produce 1-trimethylsilyl-3-methyl indene, 1-trimethylsilyl-3-phenyl indene, 1,3-bis-trimethylsilyl indene, 1-trimethylsilyl-2-methyl indene, 1-trimethyl-2-phenyl indene, and 1-trimethylsilyl-1-methyl-2-methyl-3-methyl indene.
A further understanding of the present invention, its various aspects, objects and advantages will be provided by the following examples.
In the following examples, the metallocene preparations were carried out routinely using the Schlenk technique, with strict exclusion of air and moisture, by means of purified and dried inert gas.
The solvents which were used were dried over a sodium/potassium alloy or over phosphorus pentoxide in the case of dichloromethane and distilled in circulation equipment under an inert atmosphere. Toluene was additionally distilled over phosphorus pentoxide and dichloromethane was distilled over calcium hydride. Deuterated solvents for the NMR spectroscopy were stored over a molecular sieve.
The melting points of the organic compounds were determined in open tubes and those of the organometallic compounds were determined in closed tubes under nitrogen.
The organic compounds were characterized using a gas chromatograph with flame ionization detector and a fused silica column with helium as the carrier gas. The mass spectra were carried out using a mass spectrometer with electron impact ionization energy of 70 eV. The samples were introduced with the help of a direct inlet system, or they were injected in the form of solutions.
The thermal properties of the produced polymers was evaluated using a Differential Scanning Calorimetry Device, a DSC 7 model obtained from Perkin Elmer. The polymer samples were dried under vacuum prior to the measurements. The technique involved fusing 5 to 10 gram samples in standard aluminum pans, first by heating at 20 degrees K/min from -40� C. to 200� C., holding at 200� C. for 3 minutes, and then cooling at 20 degrees K/min to -40� C. A second heating phase like the first heating phase was then conducted. The melting points and enthalpies of fusion were measured during the second heating phase. The temperature was linearly corrected using indium as a standard (melting point 429.78K and enthalpy of fusion 28.45 J/g).
The molecular weight of the polymers were determined using an Ubbelohde capillary viscometer in cis/tran-decalin at 135+/-0.1� C. The samples were dried under vacuum prior to the measurement and then weighed out into small flasks that could be sealed. The polymers were then dissolved in a precisely measured quantity of the decalin within three or for hours at 140� to 105� C. Any insoluble material was filtered out using glass wool. Calibration curves for three different polymer concentrations were evaluated for the determination of the viscosity average molecular weight, i.e. Mη.
Unbridged metallocenes were prepared by dissolving about 2.4 mmol of the selected indenyl compound in diethyl ether and then mixing with about 1.5 ml of a 1.6M hexane solution of n-butyl lithium. After stirring for about three hours at room temperature an equimolar quantity of a cyclopentadienyl trichloride metallocene was added and the mixture stirred for about four more hours at room temperature. The liquid was evaporated using a vacuum. The residue was extracted with toluene and the suspension was filtered over sodium sulfate. The resulting filtrate was concentrated by evaporation and brought to the point of crystallization by cooling to -78� C.
Various unbridged metallocenes prepared as described in Example I were then evaluated for their effectiveness in the polymerization of ethylene. The technique involved combining about 1 to 5 mg of the metallocene with 1 to 5 ml of a 30 weight percent toluene solution of commercial methylaluminoxane. The resulting solution was further diluted with additional toluene so as to result in a solution containing about 1 to 5 mg of the metallocene in about 20 ml of the solution. The resulting mixture was used as the catalyst system within about 30 minutes of its preparation.
The polymerizations were conducted in a 1 liter autoclave. First 500 ml of pentane was mixed with 1 ml of the commercial methylaluminoxane and stirred for 15 min at 30� C. Then the catalyst system solution was added. The autoclave was thermostatically regulated at 60� C. and ethylene was supplied at a pressure of 10 bar. After a reaction time of one hour, the pressure was released and the polymer dried under a vacuum.
Some comparable control runs were carried out using prior art unbridged metallocenes such as bis cyclopentadienyl, bis indenyl, and 1-methyl indenyl pentamethylcyclopentadienyl metallocenes. Also a new metallocene (1-phenyl indenyl) indenyl zirconium dichloride was evaluated.
The activities observed with the various unbridged metallocenes and some of the properties of the resulting polymers are compared in the following Note that in a few cases noted in the table the polymerization was conducted at 30� C. rather than 60� C.
TABLE 1______________________________________ DSC Activity M.sub.η Tm �C.!Run g PE 103 g/ ΔHm J/g!,No. Complex (mmol M-h)! mol! α %!______________________________________1 (1-Me--In)CpZrCl2 530,000 380 140.2 151.7, 522 (1-MeO(CH2)2 -In)CpZrCl2 4,500* 560 143.7 105.0, 363 (1-Me3 Si--In)CpZrCl2 320,000 950 142.8 149.0, 514 (1-Ph--In)CpZrCl2 1,400,000 580 143.8 161.2, 555 (2-Me--In)CpZrCl2 320,000 910 142.5 156.0, 536 (2-Ph--In)CpZrCl2 230,000 520 144. 1 148.8, 517 1,2-Me2 --In)CpZrCl2 356,000 740 not deter- mined8 (1,3-Me2 --In)CpZrCl2 555,000 660 142.3 161.2, 559 (1,3-Ph2 --In)CpZrCl2 274,000 780 141.4 135.8, 4610 (1,2,3-Me3 --In)CpZrCl2 1,100,000 600 140.8 169.6, 5811 (1-Me--In)(Me3 Si--Cp)ZrCl2 121,000 660 141.8 160.5, 5512 Cp2 ZrCl2 136,000 290 142.4 160.0, 5513 Ind2 ZrCl2 293,000 470 143.5 168.2, 5714 (1-MeIn)Cp*ZrCl2 154,000 540 146.9 123.7, 4215 (1-Ph--In)InZrCl2 50,000 320 143.4 175.1, 60______________________________________ *Polymerization temperature 30� C.
The data shows that the inventive metallocenes were more active than either the bis (cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride or the (1-methylindenyl) (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride and a number were even more active than the bis (indenyl) zirconium dichloride. The catalysts with the highest activities were the (1-phenyl indenyl) (cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride and the (1,2,3-trimethyl indenyl) (cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride. The runs using (1-methyl indenyl) (trimethylsilylcyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride and (1-methyl indenyl) (pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride suggest that the introduction of a substituent on the cyclopentadienyl ligand has an adverse effect upon activity. A similar result is noted when one compares the activity of (1-phenyl indenyl) (indenyl) zirconium dichloride with that of (1-phenyl indenyl) (cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride.
The polymers with the highest molecular weight were produced using the inventive metallocenes having a trimethylsilyl substituent at the 1 position of the indenyl or a methyl substituent at the 2 position of the indenyl.
Another series of polymerizations were conducted using various unbridged indenyl titanium-containing metallocenes. The conditions were as set forth in Example II. The polymerization temperature was usually 30� C. The results are set forth in the following table.
TABLE 2______________________________________Run Activity g PENo. Complex (mmol M-h)! 103 g/mol!______________________________________16 (1-PhIn)CpTiCl2 2100 92017 (2-PhIn)CpTiCl2 1100 68018 (1,2,3-Me3 In)CpTiCl2 390* 830* 680 150019 (1-Me3 SiIn)CpTiCl2 1700 112020 (In)(MeCp)TiCl2 1700 not determined21 (1-MeIn)(Cp)TiCl2 900* 195* 2200 1625______________________________________ *Polymerization temperature 60� C.
A comparison of the data in Table 2 with that in Table 1 demonstrates that the inventive titanium metallocenes are not as active as the inventive zirconium metallocenes however they generally produce a higher molecular weight polymer. In contrast the applicants have observed that the inventive hafnium metallocenes were found to produce lower molecular weight products than comparable inventive zirconium metallocenes.
A series of the inventive zirconium based metallocenes were also evaluated for their effectiveness in the polymerization of propylene. The polymerizations were also conducted in the one liter autoclave using catalyst system solutions prepared as described in Example II. In the polymerizations about 500 ml of propylene was condensed in the autoclave and stirred with about 5 ml of the commercial 30 weight percent toluene solution of methylaluminoxane. The catalyst solution was added by means of a pressure burette. The autoclave was thermostatically regulated at 0� C. and the reaction mixture stirred for one hour. Then the pressure was released and the polymer dried under a vacuum. The results are summarized in the following table.
TABLE 3__________________________________________________________________________ GPC DSC Activity Mn g/mol! Tg �C.!Run g PP/ Mη Mw g/mol! Tm �C.! 13 C-NMRNo. Complex (mmol M-h)! g/mol!

The table shows that the inventive metallocenes can be used to polymerize propylene. The activity and the molecular weight of the produced polymer vary depending upon the type and position of the substituents. The relatively high melting temperatures and the low tacticity may be due to block like polymer structures. The polymer produced with (2-methylindenyl) (cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride possesses an unusually broad Mw /Mn for a metallocene and a melting enthalpy of 0.5 J/g. This implies low crystalline percentage despite an isotactic content of 9.7%. In contrast the polymer produced with (2-phenylindenyl) cyclopentadienyl zirconium dichloride shows lower isotacticity, narrower molecular weight distribution, and a higher melting enthalpy. The metahocene of Run 25 produces a polymer having almost twice the molecular weight of the polymer produced the metallocene used in Run 22.

I got quite bogged down with this image. Ive spent more time describing the textures of flesh and bone. It was important to me to create a non-humanoid form, with necessary recognisable human anatomical elements. I also wanted to have the Angel in action rather than just posing like a prize pansy

Heineken Cup Pool 4: Scarlets v Clermont match preview
Last Updated: 13/12/13 4:09pm
The Scarlets host last year's Heineken Cup finalists Clermont in the second of their back-to-back contests on Saturday.
Parc y Scarlets will be rocking when the Welsh side look to remain in the running to qualify for the quarter-finals of the competition from Pool 4.
Clermont secured a 32-11 bonus-point victory over the Scarlets at the Stade Marcel Michelin last weekend, so revenge is firmly on the mind of head coach Simon Easterby.
"This is a major game for us this weekend, it is vital we get a result on Saturday afternoon if we want to progress in this group," he said.
"We will have to keep tempo in our game but we have to stop them at source first and think a little better and hold onto the ball more.
"Playing these big, high profile games is huge experience for a number of our young players who have come through and developed further as a result of the opportunities we are handing them particularly in Europe.
"We hope to have a good home crowd behind us on Saturday and it will be great to be back at Parc y Scarlets and with our supporters creating a big European match day atmosphere - it will help lift and inspire our players even more."
Six changes
Clermont have decided to make six changes to their starting XV with Jean-Marcellin Buttin coming in at full-back in place of Welshman Lee Byrne.
Mike Delany makes his first start in the Heineken Cup at fly-half, working with Thierry Lacrampe at half-back. The pack welcomes back Clement Ric, Julien Pierre, Damien Chouly and Julien Bardy.
Centre magician Regan King is expected to receive a warm reception from the home crowd on his return to his former club.
Clermont currently hold a three-point lead at the top of the group and have only lost once in their last 11 Heineken Cup pool games.

Sustainable development can be defined as development that meets the needs of the
present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This multidisciplinary focus integrates environmental, economic, and social development policies.
Among the key components of sustainable development are consideration of the interface between land use and transportation, planning for bicycle and pedestrian modes of transportation, and transit oriented development.

Let's have fun
Being part of the greater good is in my bones; it?s probably why I joined the Peace Corps and parlayed my experiences into becoming an analyst for a humanitarian assistance agency who adopted a street mutt in West Africa, I?m also passionate about exploring and enjoying new experiences. For more than a decade, I?ve traveled to a new country every year. I love taking black and white portraits on my camera and finding a great candid shot while traveling. And I?m enough of a risk taker to put strawberries in my stir-fry creation and appreciate the pay off. And you?re the one who at least will try the stir-fry. The one who likes my affinity for off-the-beaten-path adventures as much as my ability to be myself with you. The one who enjoys being connected to something bigger than your own life as much as you like catching a movie at the DC Film Festival. What I am looking for is simple: You think being involved in a humanitarian project is more hip than lame. You?d rather explore new countries and learn about other cultures than just read about them. You believe in surrounding yourself with meaning. You like that my dog?s name, Wahala, means ?trouble? in Hausa. You?re up for engaging in new experiences together. You think camping under the stars in the Sahara is romantic. You?ll hike Angel Falls just to see its spectacular beauty. You believe that experiences trump tangibles every time, and that sleeping in a hammock and participating in an 8-day trek is more appealing than offensive. You like to roll with the punches, and can see where life takes you. You think spontaneity is a turn on. You also have plans and goals. You like that I have direction and aspire to be more hands-on in my work by working in developing countries. You like learning a new word every day in a foreign land. You follow through with plans. You like to hold hands. You make me smile. Your warmth gives me happiness and reassurance. You?re looking for the one who appreciates you and makes you feel secure on all of our adventures.

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
i have a dog. His name is Wahala which means "trouble" in Hausa. I adopted him as a puppy while I was in Togo.
I tend to stick to H Street and Eastern Market
I love shows that push the envelope: Booth at the End, Continuum, Falling Skies, the Walking Dead. I think that even the best movies should be approachable by anyone. Some of the best movies I have seen this year: The Stories We Tell and Paper Man
