Saugatuck offers natural, spiritual escapeWritten by Art Weber | | firstname.lastname@example.com
There's nothing cookie cutter about Saugatuck, Michigan.
Nestled on the southwest coast of Michigan, the well-heeled artist community is just a couple of postcard-perfect grass-covered sand dunes away from the deep, blue waters of Lake Michigan.
"We're not generic," local sculptor Marcia Perry said. "That's our trump card."
Saugatuck and its sister city, Douglas, across the Kalamazoo River are old — old as in quaint, historic, cool. No box stores, no chain restaurants.
Shops, inns, and restaurants are smaller and personal, concentrating quality and service while overlooking a beautiful river and landscape. Riverside shops and inns crowd up to busy docks where personal boats and charter boats sortie in and out of slips, typically returning from the lake with nice catches of salmon and whatever else is biting in the great lake.
Downtown streets and neighborhoods are for strolling and biking as much as for cars.
It's a town with a genuinely fierce sense of pride in where it's been.
There's no more demonstrative evidence of that community pride than in their homegrown parades. Stay any length of time in Saugatuck and there's a good chance you'll see one. No big-city style floats. It's veterans leading the way, carrying the flag past onlookers not embarrassed to stand and clap and cheer. Before it's over pretty much every manner of small-town transportation passes review.
"We have parades for about everything here," said the woman running the register at Pumpernickels, a local eatery steeped in atmosphere. Parades mark the summer holidays, Halloween, even the day the town's traffic light changes from blinking to red-yellow-green.
"And then, in the fall, we have another parade when it changes back to a blinking light," said Perry.
Blinking or not, it's a short drive through that light, across the bridge and on to the shore of Lake Michigan at Oval Beach, consistently ranked as one of the very best beaches in North America. It's that good. That beautiful.
"When I'm on the dunes, feeling the whole power of that landscape, I feel a direct relationship with nature," Perry said. "You can get lost there.
"It's spiritual."
Getting There
Saugatuck/Douglas is a year-round tourist destination on Lake Michigan, 200 miles from Toledo, less than four hours via the Ohio Turnpike, I-69, I-96 and local routes. Visit the Saugatuck/Douglas Convention and Visitors Bureau at the website www.saugatuck.com.

Autoposy results for Maggie Weaver — the woman found dead in a Lenox cornfield in August — were released this afternoon (Thursday).
The 31-year-old Weaver died of an accidental overdose caused by acute methamphetamine intoxication — this according to the Iowa State Medical Examiner's office.
According to the report, there were no indications of foul play and, therefore, the investigation into her death is complete.
DCI reports Weaver was at a residence waiting for a ride from a friend on July 31. The friend arrived approximately 2 1/2 hours later, and Weaver was nowhere to be found. Friends and family searched for Weaver for several days, eventually finding her dead in a cornfield west of Lenox on Aug. 3.
Weaver resided in Brookfield, Mo., but went to school in Creston. Locals knew her better by her married name of Maggie Dodson.

GTX 480 vs. HD 5870, 8x AA Performance Analysis, Part 3
BattleForge is an online PC game developed by EA Phenomic and published by Electronic Arts. The full game and a demo was released in March 2009. BattleForge is a card based RTS that revolves around acquiring and winning by means of micro-transactions for buying new cards. By May, 2009, BattleForge became a Play 4 Free game with fewer cards than the retail version. BattleForge supports Directx 11 with full support for hardware tessellation. It is very impressive visually and quite demanding on any system.
First we test with our two cards at 2560×1600 using the BattleForge built-in benchmark with all of its settings completely maxed out and with 4xAA and 8xAA:
The GTX 480 is simply faster than the HD 5870; the GTX 480 apparently also suffers less of a performance hit with 8xAA.
Again, the GTX 480 clearly leads. Now at 1680×1050 resolution:
The GTX 480 wins the war, so far in BattleForge.

Diagnostic Testing
Arterial Exam Plethysmography
Blood pressure cuffs are used on each arm and at the ankles to obtain an ankle/brachial index. Doppler waveforms are obtained of the dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial arteries at the ankle and distal portion of the top of each foot. If these waveforms and the ABI are abnormal, we apply blood pressure cuffs to the calves, above the knee and the high thighs. Blood pressures and pulsed volume return waveforms at each level will determine potential areas of arterial occlusive disease. This exam is not performed more than once each year. If a patient has an arterial bypass graft in one or more lower limbs, only an ABI will be obtained with blood pressure cuffs. Abnormal results will prompt a duplex image study to be performed of the graft to look for occlusive disease in the graft or the points of attachment, and any new areas of narrowing that may have formed in the native arteries.
Indications for this exam: Cramping of the calves or high thigh area with walking which is resolved by rest (Claudication). Associated numbness and tingling in the feet with walking. Lack of arterial pulses with symptoms similar to those previously stated

Nazzareno de Angelis, bass
Nazzareno de Angelis was born in Rome in 1881 and died there in 1962. As a boy he had sung in the Choir of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. His début took place in 1903 and his career continued until 1939 when he retired. He was one of the most distinguished Italian basses of his era and was particularly admired for his portrayal of Mefistofele, a role he sang over five hundred times between 1906 and 1938. He had a repertoire of 57 roles and made over 1500 appearances. Other than singing in Chicago during the years 1910–11 and 1915–20, de Angelis's career was based in Europe. He was also admired as Rossini's Mosè and in the principal Verdi and Wagner roles. His recording of Mefistofele was his sole complete recording, although he recorded a considerable number of arias for both Fonotipia and Columbia.

- Work with data within your environment and from external sources
In Detail
With the increased adoption of Dynamics CRM 2011, more people are faced with various tasks including administering and customizing the environment. Microsoft Dynamics CRM is a Customer Relationship Management software package from Microsoft. It offers solutions to help companies with Sales, Customer Services, and Marketing. Microsoft Dynamics CRM is increasingly being used by businesses of all kinds and all sizes to reach audiences in new ways. Microsoft Dynamics CRM scripting extends system customization through the use of client-side scripting. It builds on the standard customization options offered by Dynamics CRM.
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Scripting Cookbook" walks the reader through the process of customizing an environment, from the most basic topics such as working with specific fields and types, working with the forms, and then moves on to the more advanced topics of scripting and debugging your scripts, designing new form and ribbon elements, and using additional well known public scripting libraries, as well as integrating external data sources into your environment.
The first chapters of this book cover the basics of using the wizard-driven customization approach, packaging your customization into solutions, and adding basic scripts to interact with all the form elements. Further down the road we start introducing concepts around debugging your scripts, working with ribbon elements and navigation, taking advantage of other public scripting libraries and integrating them into your solutions, as well as light ways to bring social information in front of your users.
Later chapters will assume knowledge of some of the most basic customizations presented at the beginning of the book. After completing the recipes in "Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Scripting Cookbook", you will have gained a new perspective on how far can you take the customization in Dynamics CRM. The additional details presented around using other public scripting libraries and integrating other data sources into your environment should serve as a start into investigating additional sources.

Mowin' em' down one...HUNDRED! at a time
I read the OP and responses. First off if you have a subjective opinion keep it to yourself it only weakens your arguement and makes it sound like your whining.
I wont address the guild issues, housing, etc they are pointless since they vary heavily from game to game I suggest you just get over it.
Space combat mini game: If you really need it go to EVE or STO its not the focus for this title thus its a mini game.
PvP specific gear: Is a good thing it lets a pvp players get rewarded for hard work. As long as it doesn't create game breaking imbalances (like Aion) its all good. You could always just play on a PvE server right?
Companions: your gripes about these guys seem to be the biggest. As far as apperance goes just let it go they are part of the story thus you dont control their looks. Want another character that you get to design? BW has said they want you to replay the game as different classes so just do that. As far as them actually neeeding to tag along this is really easy to deal with. (drum roll) ......Go look at GW heroes got this same bs complaint until people realized making insanely geared and skilled heroes was a great addition to the meta game infact one part of the PvP (Hero Battles) is about taking your group of heroes plus yourself vs another group of heroes and one player. Builds dedicated to Hero characters are shared as part of the community for PvE use. When adding these types of characters to the game it can add a lair of depth you simply can't get otherwise. Depending on how good the AI is companions may be more effective and efficient healers or exploiters. For example in GW over time it was found that Minion Master Necromancer (a build which exploits corpses to build an army of pets) was generally better played by the Hero vs an actual player because the AI in many cases was stronger at pet management and up keep. I am not suggesting everyone will like it but there will likely be builds that are meant to deal with players who are using one while you are not. Likely youll see some sort of stun lock build where you effectively take out the companion and drop its master or build that burn the companion before it poses a threat. There are a lot of options. That 33% damage lost may not be that much. In Aion before pets could fly spiritmasters were forced to learn how to beat flying players with out them and guess what they did. Builds were made that allowed for PvP and soloing without the pet.
With all these complaints (and I say this seriously) maybe you shouldn't play this game? You got Rift (coming out soon) and GW2 (likely the next 12 months) around the bend and atleast GW2 will focus on some of your subjective gripes.

My biggest gripe: They're trying to make a MMO with static singleplayer storyline that offers little to no replay value to a mmorpg player.
grand singleplayer storyline doesnt work for a mmorpg. Just imagine if they'd make Mass Effect online and you'd have 10000 john shepards queued up to take their turns to save the world from same sentient machine.

Each person in the group is just as important, unless it's a class specific quest. I doubt the main story for the MMO is "single hero saves the star wars universe."
All MMOs usually have static storyline and add on to it with expansions. How many times has Cazic Thul, Illidan, the Lich King been killed? It sounds like you're saying that the usual boring background story in MMOs doesn't matter because people already ignore it. But making a better more engaging MMO story is bad?

Speaking for myself I am looking forward to the story in this game. I am an alt-o-holic and leveling up multiple characters in most games gets boring fast. I am hoping it will be different in this game.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

What he (she?) did describe is just about all successful games to date but is a growing failing model due the boredom it is creating over time with people who have played MMOs for quite some time. This game is creating a branching storyline opening up other possibilities increasing the replayability factor due to this because the story will be different depending on the choices you may. Now how different we don't know yet. I'm optimistic that it is not like WOW where the starting areas are different but from levels 20-85 it is basically the same for everyone. I think this will be a different experience for everyone beyond the early levels because of the continued branching storyline. Is it scripted. Yes, but the branching choices, the unknown outcome of which choice will win in a group, the voicework, and the immersion will make it much more interesting and help bring back the RPG to MMORPG.

I am not trying to get into a flame fest with you Deewe, but your arguments just don't hold water, at least no better than a bucket with no bottom does. So please provide the links and the proof. Thanks.

You might want to check the OP as I edited it following your request.
Now as we both don't want to waste too much time, (it was quite time consuming to find decent links), if you still find a very specific entry you'd like me to highlight just point me to it.
May I add a thing to consider?
Regarding the very few assumptions I did in my OP, I'd like to point you to this post: The big GUESS thread... see you in 2009-10. I wrote it in 11/2008 and most of my guesses on TOR were quite accurate.
I insist saying TOR will be a fine game and still, some design choices are a bit disturbing, or would I said not of my liking.
Originally posted by Deewe
OK, my answers to your OP are in Green above. In short it appears you want to restrict the races and their equipment options, remove a persons choice of playing a normal or hard mode, enslave your companion and force them to submit to your competic pleasures, and make it so there is almost no difference in being a Sith or a Republican by destroying class differences. Then YOU would add respecs that may already be in the works, pet companions that can do nothing more than fight thereby ruining your companions versatility, add more space combat that actually goes against the Star Wars movies, and force people to PvP even if they don't want too. On top of all that, you make assumptions about planetary housing, gear alterations, and day/night cycles that you can not prove.
Maybe if you had made the name of this thread "A Few Things That Might Limit My Fun Factor" then people would have read your post and let it go. Instead you seem to be taking on the Masses here and a lot of us don't seem to agree with you. In the end though, all of your problems (and our disagreements) are pretty subjective and just not worth arguing about anymore. I would suggest that instead of complaining, you wait for some more information to come out OR send a note to BioWare itself since they are the only ones that can change things at this point.

MMOs after SWTOR will be even more simplified, so take what you have now and try to have fun.

Not sure TOR is/will be the culprit still we are indeed seeing some simplification in the genre.

I have to agree with Deewe here, but the simplification started a while back when the 800 pound gorilla was released on the market. That's about six years or so ago if I remember right. Still though, simplification does not have to mean less fun and in some games could indeed mean more fun for more people instead of the niche groups of people playing those games now.
"If half of what you tell me is a lie, how can I believe any of it?"
Excellent post by OP! I totally agree.
Game has potential as the MMO world is litterally screaming for a new AAA game to be released. Yet Bioware dumb this game down, and on top they implete stupid looking toons that could easily have fit into WoW. A very very VERY bad move. I want to play a Sci-Fi, not a retarded version Sci-Fi version of WoW. I am also shocked to see that the biggest PvP zone will only be holding 8 vs 8. This surely must be a joke since that is even fewer that you have in any FPS game today.
It seems the game failed already before it's launched. I lost totally interestd in this game a long long time ago. I popped in to see if there "could" be any new that interested me. It was'nt.
Thank you for posting this. Now back to Anarchy Online.

For Yellow:
Again your opinion. They has the feel of it because it's the art style they are using, but to each their own.
For Green:
That 8 vs 8 is for one battle ground (one), and is the first one you'll come across. For now it's too hard to say it's the biggest when they have more on the way.

It's very easy to write such a sentence pointing at nothing specifically. May I say that contrary to you I do have links, more than one in my OP.
I would find it very interesting (and would be much happy) if you could prove I'm wrong on a such scale as you seems to suggest. So how about taking all my entries and posting a link next to each of them why I'm wrong using official statements?
Wait... don't bother I know you can't.

Video:Profile of Ulysses S. Grantwith Donna Sinatra
Ulysses S. Grant lived one of the most celebrated lives in American history. This About.com video will give you a brief overview of the life and career of Ulysses S. Grant.See Transcript
Transcript:Profile of Ulysses S. Grant
Hi, I'm Donna with About.com and I'm going to profile Ulysses S. Grant.
Grant's Early Life
Born in Ohio in April of 1822, his father and mother were of English and Scottish ancestry and natives of Pennsylvania. The family moved to Ohio the year after his birth.
He was nominated for a position at the U.S. military academy at West Point when he was seventeen. He graduated from West Point in 1843. After 4 years of engagement during the Mexican-American War, he married Julia Boggs-Dent, the daughter of a Missouri plantation and slave owner. They had four children together.
In fact, he was bitterly opposed to the Mexican-American War. In his opinion, the Civil War was punishment for the U.S. aggression in Mexico.
Grant Moves West
Eventually, Grant was reassigned to the Pacific Northwest, where he came in contact with American Indian tribes. He felt these Native Americans were harmless and would stay peaceful as long they were not put upon by the whites.
In an effort to supplement his military salary, Grant entered into several business ventures out west, all of which failed. These failures, and separation from his family, are why, it is believed, he turned to drinking excessively.
Success in the Civil War
After years out of the military, when Confederate troops attacked Fort Sumter in 1861, which began the civil war, Grant was promoted to colonel. Grant was assigned with his volunteers to take Fort Donelson. Grant was able to rally his troops, surround the fort, and command a surrender. His famous terms were repeated across the North: "No terms except unconditional and immediate surrender." Soon he became known as "Unconditional Surrender" Grant.
With this success, President Lincoln promoted Grant to major-general. By 1865, the Union forces were able to capture Petersburg and Richmond. The Confederate army was split into two and General Lee reluctantly surrendered to Grant at Appomattox.
Accomplishments as President
4 days later, Lincoln was assinated and Andrew Johnson assumed the Presidency. Grant did not agree with Johnson on many issues and won the Presidency in 1868. He passed the 15th Amedment, ensuring voting rights for African-Americans, and worked for peace with the Indian tribes. His campaign slogan was "Let's us have peace." He also signed the Civil Rights Act of 1875, which further ensured African-American rights.
Grant's Death
He was barely able to finish his memoirs before his death at 63 from throat cancer. His personal memoirs were published by Mark Twain and are highly reguarded by military historians and literary critics. He was beloved in his own time and millions attended his New York funeral procession and the dedication of his Tomb in Manhattan.
Thanks for watching. For more information, vist About.com.

Friendship is more precious than diamonds
Can't buy it anywhere like a bag of almonds
But for you I'll give up a day with almonds
So I could have that life long friendship like diamond
For my new friend I'll be strong
So I can defend him if wars prolong
This promise I shall keep forever
Just promise me you'll leave me never
For my new friend I'll stay up all night
Just to make sure he is all right
This promise I shall keep as long as I live
I hope it's not too hard for you to believe

Artesia will soon be home to a brand new animal shelter, replacing the old Paws & Claw building, which has served the area for more than ten years.
Officials say there was nothing wrong with the old shelter building, but the new one will offer much more space for animals.
"More space is helpful because they're able to hold them a lot longer than we've usually been able to," shelter liaison Harry Bailey said. "Which helps us with our euthanization rates and that kind of thing."
Currently, animals that can't fit in the shelter are transported to foster homes in other cities or in Colorado, then advertised online so people can adopt them. The system will continue after the new shelter is built, but officials said it will be nice to be able to keep more animals in Artesia after they're picked up.
The new building will also have a large lobby and waiting room, which the old one lacked.
"It makes it a little more friendly for the community to come in and look at the animals and possibly adopt them and give them a home," Bailey said.
If you'd like to serve as a foster family for an animal or donate to the shelter, you can visit their website at http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/NM77.html.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
United States Patent ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE "A'blo'cked polyurethane 'r'esin, isocyanate terminated, with isocyanate groups treated with phenol, and then heated to drive ofli thefphenol and'reacted with a polyol, is reacted with a cinnamoylating agent to make a polyurethane cinnamatewhich is a photopolymer.
- This invention relates to anew-photopolymer capable of useinphotolithography and photomechanical processes. It also relates to a method formaking the photopolymer.
One object of this invention is to provide an inherently light-sensitive photopolymer -fora use in the graphic arts and particularly,in preparing or forming surface-type lithographic plates and etching resists,
It is a further object' of this invention to provide a photopolymerwhich may be applied directly in contact with a metalsupport member o'roverQsuch a member having a sublayerthereon.
Yet'another object is to provide aphotopolymer which may be applied directly to many different types of metal surfaces, such as" steel, copper and aluminum, without producing undesirable effects, 7
A further object of this invention is to provide a photopolymer which is suitable for a variety of uses in lithographic and photomechanical processes, such as in the production of printed circuits, chemical milling and etching processes.
An additional object of this invention is to provide a photopolymer which permits the utilization of an automated process in the preparation of printing plates for use in lithographic operations by being capable of being developed by organic solvents.
A further object is the provision of a photopolymer which may be developed by either organic solvents or emulsion developers.
The present invention comprises a polyurethane-cinnamate made by reacting a polyurethane resin with a cinnamoylating agent such as cinnamoyl chloride in the presence of a solvent and subsequently precipitating the polyurethane-cinnamate from the solvent.
The polyurethane resin used as a preferred starting material in the present invention is a blocked polyurethane prepolymer. This prepolymer was originally developed for formulation of magnet wire enamels, braid lacquers, sleeving varnishes, baking enamels, and so on. It has been used heretofore to produce coatings having superior abrasion resistance, hightgloss, outstanding dielectric strength and ozone resistance, exceptional toughness, and low temperature flexibility. These resins are isocyanate-terminated polymers whose isocyanate groups have been treated with phenol to form a thermally unstable linkage and have then been heated to the point where the phenol was driven off, thus enabling the isocyanate groups to react with a previously-added polyol system. The molecular weight of this blocked polyurethane prepolymer is about 8,000.
Other polyurethane resins may be used, including those which are prepared by reacting meta-tolylene-diamine (majority isomer) with phosgene to form meta-tolylenediisocyanate and hydrogen chloride. Also, phosgene can be reacted with alcohols to form corresponding esters which may then be reacted with amines to produce the equivalent urethanes of the isocyanate method. To obtain polymers, glycols are used to form bisesters and triols for branching of hydroxy compounds together with diamines for the final condensation.
Such polyurethane resins may be cinnamoylated by use of any of the presently available cinnamoylating compounds which contain cinnamoyl radicals, such as cinnamic acid, cinnamoyl chloride, and so on.
The polyurethane-cinnarnate photopolymer of this invention has unique properties which distinguish from photopolymers previously known. The fact that the preferred polyurethane resin is a blocked isocyanate resin means that when it is cinnamoylated, it forms a blocked isocyanate polyurethane-cinnamate resin which can be easily applied to a support member to form a lithographic plate or a photoresist and can then be cured by heating to unblock the resin. Due to this unusual property, the maximum efiiciency in coating operations can be obtained, so that ideal conditions for coating are readily available in the manufacturing plant. The unblocking can take place at any time by heating, whether prior to the coating, fol lowing the application of the coating, or prior to exposure and development, or even following exposure and development in the customers shop. As a result, the blocked isocyanate polyurethane-cinnamate coatings of this invention can be easily handled in the manufacturing of photopolymer coated lithographic plates or photoresist for printed circuits with subsequent exposure and development in the customers shop.
Another important feature of the photopolymer of this invention is that it retains its abrasion resistance, toughness, chemical resistance, hardness, and flexibility, once it has been heated to unblock the photopolymer. These qualities are very good in providing long-lasting plates.
I know of no solvent which dissolves the unlocked isocyanate polyurethane-cinnamate resin of 'this invention and therefore recommend that the polymer be dissolved and coated in the blocked state, followed, as said before, at any suitable time by the heating action which forms the very desirable unblocked final polymer.
As an example of a photopolymer embodying the principles of the invention, the polyurethane may be Tranco S-A polyurethane resin. This material is a clear, phenolblocked, high temperature urethane baking enamel which cures by reaction of isocyanate groups produced under the influence of heat with free hydroxyl groups already present.
Typical properties Color, Gardner-13 Viscosity, Garden-Holt-A-E Weight percent solids50, plus or minus 1 Solvent (/50 by wt.)--Xylene, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate Weight, lbs. per gallon8.4
Film application Spray using conventional or electrostatic equipment. No further reduction is generally needed. Allow to air-dry 15-30 minutes (for best results). Bake 30 minutes at 150 0. (300 F.)
Typical film properties Sward hardness- FlexibilityPass A; in. bend Impact resistance-Greater than in. pounds reverse impact Sand abrasion-Greater than 400 liters/mil Tensile strength5000 p.s.i.
3 Chemical resistance 20% sodium hydroxide Excellent. hydrochloric acid Good. 10% nitric acid Fair-film darkens. Toluene Excellent. Methyl isobutyl ketone Do. Ethyl alcohol Do. Ethyl acetate Do.
Typical analysis Volatiles (unblocking temp)-33% Blocking agentPhenol Available NCO (when unblocked)--l2.7% (based on SA wt.)
Tranco 8A is completely unreactive at room temperature. This permits formulations of Tranco 8A and polyethers, polyesters, castor oil and polyamides that are room temperature stable for several months.
Tranco 8A unblocks at 285 F. At this temperature NCO groups become available for reaction with OH groups from polyethers, polyesters, castor oils, etc. The time of cure at this temperature is approximately 30 minutes. Temperatures may be increased and cure times shortened so that at 500 F. a cure time of less than five minutes will be realized. In the curing facilities provision must be made for carrying off the liberated blocking agent, phenol, which must be removed before Tranco 8A will cure.
As a typical example, 10 grams of the above polyurethane resin and 50 cc. of cyclohexanone may be placed in a beaker and stirred 30 minutes at 60 C. to dissolve the resin. Then 10 grams of cinnamoyl chloride are added and stirred for minutes at 60-95 C. to dissolve the cinnamoyl chloride. The heating of the reaction mixture is continued for one hour at 80115 C. The polyurethane-cinnamate reaction product is then precipitated and washed in methanol several times to remove cinnamoyl chloride and dried.
This polyurethane-cinnamate photopolymer has been used successfully on ball-grained plates to make a presensitized negative-working lithographic plate that was exposed and developed to give printable images.
The cinnamate polymer of this invention has also been used to make a presensitized negative-working diazophotopolymer plate by putting a coating of this photopolymer over a negative-working diazo plate. Although the polyurethane cinnamate polymer itself was found to have a photospeed slower than a phenoxy-cinnamate polymer, on emulsion-developed ball-grained plates, the polyurethane cinnamate polymer negative-working diazophotopolymer plate was found to have a very fast photospeed, about ten times as fast as the diazo resin plate without this photopolymer coating.
The polymer of this invention has, in addition, been used successfully in making positive-working lithographic plates by coating positive-working phytic acid-over-diazo resin plates and naphthalene sulfonic acid-over-diazo resin plates with this photopolymer, to enable more rapid exposures and plates capable of longer press runs.
Still further, photo-resist plates have been made from the polymer of this invention. The cinnamate polymer of polyurethane, prepared as above, was dissolved in a solvent in quantities as follows.
Ingredient: Parts by wt. Photopolymer (polyurethane cinnamate) 10 Cyclohexanone Michlers ketone l The solution was applied to a printed circuit board, the solvent evaporated, and the board dried to remove residual solvent.
The resultant photo-resist plate was exposed to a xenon arc lamp for ten minutes at 1200 foot candles through a negative of a desired printed circuit pattern. The plate was then developed by rocking it in xylene to remove the unexposed areas. The exposed insoluble image was then dried. After drying, it was placed in a 42 B. ferric chloride solution and etched to give the desired printed circuit. The lines were clean and sharp.
I claim:
1. A photopolymer product made according to the process which comprises,
(a) dissolving in a solvent a polyurethane resin having its terminal isocyanate groups blocked, said resin having a molecular weight of about 8000 is a material prepared by treating an isocyanate terminated polymer with phenol,

Officials Probe E. coli Outbreak In 6 States
Atlanta, GA – Health officials are investigating a mysterious and scattered outbreak of the E. coli bacteria linked to 14 illnesses and one death.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said no form of contaminated food or other cause has been identified in the illnesses, which occurred in April and May. They are spread among six states that include Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Alabama.
Three people were hospitalized. One - a child in the New Orleans area - died last week.
The outbreak strain is E. coli 0145, a dangerous but not well-known type of bacteria. The strain was fingered in a 2010 outbreak that sickened more than two dozen people in at least five states.

Wow, nice sarcasm. Maybe they can do a reality show about you protesting duck hunts! This is the funniest show I have ever seen. I dont care what anybody says!
Apparently YOU are the one that did not read the article. This is all about her. She is an Lswho fan and didnt get what she wanted. So instead of being supportive of her own SON, she made a mockery of herself. Put yourself in his shoes, would your parents do that to you? And if they did, would you still be saying that? He will get a better education at BAMA and a better look at the pros at BAMA! My only hope is he does flourish and becomes a top 10 pick and then cuts off his lunatic mom. At least his stepmom supported him! And to those people saying for Saban to wash his hands of him, do you really think he cares what anyone especially her says! Saban is not Tressel, he is not putting up with that smack!
My comment maybe a little late in which you won't read but since it seems you do have A LOT of time on your hands let me refresh your memory. Were you an LSwho fan before Saban came to save your program or did you jump on the bandwagon?? I have no respect for you and little for your fan base for the way you bash Saban. After everything he did for your program you would be that disrespectful? That just tells me your a spoiled brat. Saban spolied you and now he is gone and you lost, you take all your teams ineptness and hatred and dump it onto Saban. Saban was begged to go to Miami. It was not in his best interest to go but he reluctantly did. He has admitted it was a mistake to leave LSwho but I am sure he is glad he did now. Especially seeing the way you guys behave! It's really pathetic to constantly cry about Saban. He is obviously the BEST coach in college football for the way he has built 2 mighty programs to national prominence. Lswho is easy since they have no competition for recruits while he has to battle like hell at Alabama! Get off your soapbox and quit whining and crying. Maybe it will be LSwho's season next season but you will never deserve it! Maybe some of your fans will but not you and the people like you!
Hahaaha that is too funny! Big difference at least we scored and made it competitive if only for a few minutes. We also had offense too. Then we came back and won the NC the next year. Oh yea and this year too.... You had zero offense (crossed the 50 once) only to go backward from there! We ran and passed all over Lswho's vaunted defense but you did hold us out of the endzone for a little while. I don't know if you guys would score if we were still playing and you guys got to play offense this whole time!
Everyone has admitted we lost, there is no way around it. But again, WE BEAT OURSELVES! It was way more evident 2 nights ago. We were better Nov. 5th and we let them off the hook. The media even said it, not just Bama fans. It's hard to be respectful after everything thrown at us before and now after the game. One thing I would like to brag about is the way MOST Lswho players handled themselves with class, it was easy to be hateful and cry but they didnt. Even more than their coach. He knew who the best team was, not for the "voters to decide" Thats hogwash. Lswho had a tremendous season but they did it without offense and the main guy that got them there. If anyone else was disrespected it was Jarret Lee. I don't like Jefferson, never have but he handled himself with tremendous class in the locker room after the game. My hates off to Lswho on a great season..
Where's my fork!! How embarrassing for Lswho and all the haters with their smack talk. Sorry but I will be a bad winner after all the trash thrown at us!! RTR!!! NC 14
("Saban -- who coached LSU from 2000-2003 -- revived a program that went 54-58-1 in the 10 years before his arrival. In Saban's four years, the Tigers went 39-13 and won the second national championship in school history.")
This is why Miles has been succesful at LSwhoo. You guys are the most ungrateful fans anywhere in this country. To burn Saban in effigy after he brought you out of the cellar. And you wonder why people dog you and make fun of you! What did Miles do at OK St.? Nothing near what they are doing now.
Nope, think that was your breatheren there, corndog!
Amen to that! What a pathetic bunch of thugs! Reminds of the "U" back in the 80's! Hope the honey badger remembers where his hole is! I doubt it though, he is probably to high to find his way home...
Wow, probably one of the worst jokes I have ever heard! You need anybody to help move the hell out of Alabama?
I will have to diagree, I would say au fans are worse followed closely behind Lswhoo fans. How can you disagree with a whole country???
You mean who snubbed lswhoo to play for a real coach? The coach that even made you guys relevant??
Oh, well by god if Lou Holtz said it, it must be true. You can barely understand what comes out of his mouth anyway. He was probably talking about something else. Your first problem is, your listening to Holtz.... RTR!!!
I hope Jefferson starts and play's more. If he does we win by 20, if he doesnt win only win by 10 or more!! RTR!!! Come on over to our house!!!
Reading your comments remind me of AU fans! The news is using commone sense in making their picks and now you are canceling your subcription? Typical!
On another note, if you read espn/sec/blog, they chnaged their pick for the first time all year after this weekend that Lswhoo will be playing for the NC game! Now they will look like idiots after looking like genius's all year!
awwww, puddin! You want to cry on my shoulder? Guess Im a little late on this one. I never show up on time!
The difference is this, we have an offenseive line and a defense that shuts down no matter who we are playing. You shut down every other opponent. It takes 4 teams to pass for as many yards against us as a bad WV team did to you guys. Oregon plays offenses, you are the only defense they have faced! You guys struggled to beat Miss St.! We took FL.'s QB out for you, your welcome by the way. Nah you guys would have beat them handily anyway. It's lights out though in 2 weeks! I wouldnt bring too many people! The les to gome home crying! Bama by 17!
I am going to trash talk for the next 2 weeks but let me get this out of my system. LSU fans get a bad rap. I have always enjoyed hanging and partying with LSU fans win or lose. They always offered great food to eat and are good people to talk football with. I have always had good expierences with their fans. With that said, let the smack talk continue!
He has got to be one of the dumbest coaches of all time! I just dont get it, he makes no sense in what he says. I wonder if he has an interpreter so the team understands what he is saying. I can tell you his luck will run out in 2 weeks though! Elephants eat honey badgers for breakfast!

Program on Israel to present screening, discussion
DURHAM – The Israel Awareness Week Program will be held from April 10-14 under the joint auspices of Beth El Synagogue in Durham and the Israel Center, which is a part of the Durham-Chapel Hill Jewish Federation.
This program will include a screening of the film "The Other Son," a 2012 film by the Israeli director Lorraine Levy. This film shares its premise with Mark Twain's "The Prince and the Pauper" and Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors." The idea of infants switched at birth, each growing up as somebody else, is an old and potent one in literature. The possibility of such a mix-up happening in real life evokes both fascination and horror and raises stark, primal questions of identity. These issues arise with special intensity in "The Other Son" for Joseph and Yassin and their families, who live on opposite sides of the Israeli-Palestinian divide.
This screening of "The Other Son" will be at 7 p.m. April 10 at the Carolina Theater, 309 W. Morgan St., in Durham. A panel discussion will follow the screening. This panel will be made up of Daniel Greyber, rabbi at Beth El Synagogue in Durham; Abdullah Antepli, Muslim chaplain and adjunct faculty member in the Islamic Studies Program at Duke University; and Yonat Shimron, development director and features editor at the Religious News Service.
Admission to this event is free.

Nature Scenes: Nature paints mandarin duck with an abundance of colors
By Lynn Bowen
posted Apr 7, 2014 - 9:35:00am
The mandarin duck is 18 inches long, has a 28-inch wingspan, and weighs 1.5 to 2 pounds.
But his claim to fame is that he has nearly every color of an artist's palette in his plumage! He has long orange feathers on each side of his large, handsome head, orange "sails" on his back, a purple chest with two white stripes across it, brown sides, a green back, and a white forehead with a reddish crown. He has short orange legs and feet, and is very energetic. Thank goodness for color photography, since it would take hours to accurately describe this bird's beauty and charm!
Mandarin ducks mate for life, but are solitary or live in small groups other than at breeding time. Then they have nests near other ducks, but located high in a tree cavity. The female is drab in comparison to the male, being mostly gray, but predators would easily find her otherwise.
In the spring, the female lays nine to 12 eggs. She alone incubates, but the male defends and guards his domain.
Russia, Eastern Asia, and China were mandarin ducks' original home. Because of their beauty, many were in private collections and, of course, zoos. They must be good escape artists, because some live in the wild in Great Britain, Germany, the U.S., and a few other unlikely places. They love densely wooded areas near shallow lakes, marshes or ponds.
Mandarin ducks eat different foods during each season by dabbling in water or walking on land. In the spring, they dine on aquatic plants, snails, insects and small fish. In the fall and winter, they eat acorns and grains. During the summer months, they eat dew worms, fish, frogs, mollusks, and small snakes. They feed mainly at dawn or dusk, and perch in trees or on the ground in the daytime.
Some of the predators of the mandarin duck are minks, otters, polecats, dogs, cats, and grass snakes. Their greatest threat is habitat loss due to loggers. Hunters kill them for their feathers, but never for food, since they do not taste good.
The mandarin duck lives an average of 3 years in the wild. May these colorful, gorgeous ducks always add to the beauty of our planet.

Charlie Sheen on His Chicago Show: 'I Won'
The "winning" actor said he stayed up until 4:30 Sunday morning re-working his live show, which debuted to boos and heckling Saturday night in Detroit.
"Gotta go with what got you to the dance and give the people what they want," the actor said. "On the bus someone said, 'You know, we could just keep driving to LA.' I said, 'F**k that. That's what losers do. I won.'"
Apparently so, since Sheen was greeted with a standing ovation from the Chicago crowd, along with chants of "Detroit sucks!" The former 'Two and a Half Men' star decided to ditch everything that didn't work during his first show -- like opening acts and video segments -- and give the audience what they want: Charlie Sheen.
The actor sat in a chair with a pack of cigarettes as he was interviewed by the tour's co-producer Joey Scoleri -- just like the interviews that prompted the bizarre rants that catapulted Sheen further into pop culture fame earlier this year.
During the show, he talked about marriage -- "I'm 0-3" -- and estranged wife Brooke Mueller. "Nice try, bitch," he said of Mueller's attempt to take away his twin sons. "I got those kids back, didn't I? She sent 9,000 cops to my house looking for drugs and guns. They found one gun from 1848."
Of course he touched on the 'Two and a Half Men' debacle. "I didn't walk away from s**t. I got fired," he said. "That's not f**king cool. They didn't give a f**k that I was hammered for eight years ... If they hired me back I'd do it again."
He also revealed his attempt to add a third "goddess" to his group didn't work out so well. "I tried a third. I did," he said. "You can't keep an eye on the third one. I have two eyes. I have two goddesses. I'm not bipolar. I'm bi-winning."

So Chicago gave him a standing ovation...next they will want him for President, when their other guy loses.
- Monday 04 AprilBy Mary
Keep telling yourself, Charlie. Maybe the other people in other cities can get their money back and he shows up and no one is there. What a waste of money to see a train wreck.
- Monday 04 AprilBy Gil
This guy is a disgrace and should find a nice quiet place and take him and his two "women" and hide out. People in Chicago should be ashamed of themselves for even paying to see this idiot. I do not care if he is EVER on TV again. He certainly is not someone I would watch if he were. He is a pathetic excuse for a human being and is doing nothing but exploiting people with this sad "tour." Give this idiot more money to spend on drugs and his "hanger ons" is what this tour is all about.
I was hoping for something a little more Lenny Bruce. In the shallow age in which we live in the West...I suppose we get what we deserve...as this appears to be present day Americana at it's best.
....I mean...."I'm a winner: I went to Iraq and won, I'm 'winning' in Afghanistan, and I'm in Libya because I'm a winner!".....phooey -- head to Japan and do some winning!

Charlie is only KIDDING himself if he thinks he won. He has LOST everything he ever had that was GOOD for him and he is nothing but a LOSER big time. HE HAS NOT WON JACK. WHAT A DILLUSIONAL MORON HE IS. CARLOS ESTEVEZ AKA CHALRIE SHEEN HAS FINALLY LOST IT BIG TIME......JUST GO AWAY CHARLIE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH OF YOU..AND I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD IT WITH YOU. YOU ARE A WASTE OF TIME THESE DAYS. LOSER. PROFITING OFF OF PEOPLE WITH YOUR BS AND SAYING YOU WON..WHAT A LOSER YOU ARE CHARLIE! No wonder you are nothing but a miserable drug and alcohol self absorbed moron.
...like I said, "Current day Americana at it's best(period)"
- Monday 04 AprilBy Chris Calvin
Question: How can you say you won, when the whole world thinks your a moron? Maybe that is what you mean by "I win". Please stop covering this jerk, American press. You are starting to look as stupid as Charlie. Why doesn't Charlie marry Lindsay Lohan (NO not just Lindsay, sorry druggie) Then they could go on their honeymoon and crash the car as they will both be high. If we are lucky they would drive off a cliff and land on the Kardashians house. Yeah I heard this as a joke, but it is funny if you ask me.

Read big. Read real. Read together.
Community Bible Experience has one simple goal: to change the way we read the Bible. Less like a reference book, more like a story. For thousands of churches, this 8-week journey has opened up a new conversation about the Scriptures, reigniting a passion for God's Word.
We've been told a lot of things about the Bible. We know it's important. We know we should read it.
But we just don't.
What if there's a reason? And what if it isn't just apathy or laziness or busyness? What if it's the way we read?
Community Bible Experience gives churches a new way to read Scripture. Not a verse here or a chapter there, but whole books—experienced the way they were always meant to be. It's not another Bible study, but a fresh, open conversation about the Bible—one that anyone can join.
And for churches who commit to this journey, it's free. We believe it's that important. We believe everyone should be able to experience the Bible this way.
Read big.
To start, Community Bible Experience takes your church through the whole New Testament in just 40 days. Five days a week, around 12 pages a day, every word—helping you connect deeply with the stories and poetry, the characters, and teachings of the Bible. (Additional reading campaigns are on the way.)
Read real.
Less like a reference book, more like a story. That's how we were meant to read. And we've designed a Bible to help you do just that. No chapter and verse numbers, no cross-references, no red letter. The Books of the Bible restores the text to a more original presentation, helping you see Scripture in its original context and uncover its original beauty.
Read together.
Community Bible Experience is not like any other Bible study you've done because it's not a study. It's more like a book club. There are no workbooks to fill out. No fill-in-the-blank answers to easy questions. Instead, groups gather once a week and simply discuss, ponder, and reflect together.
Just honest, open conversation about the Bible.
Ignite a renewal in your church
Nothing is more important to church vitality—and to personal spiritual growth—than a deep, sustained connection with the Bible. Nothing else even comes close.
Yet most of us barely read the Bible outside of church. And most churchgoers say they don't get the help they need connecting deeply with the Scriptures.
That changes today.
Community Bible Experience has ignited a renewal of Bible reading in churches all over the globe. More than 80% of those surveyed finished reading the New Testament in 8 weeks—or less. For many—even longtime churchgoers—it's the first time they've ever read the New Testament.
Now it's your turn. Imagine what could happen in your church if you spent the next 8 weeks immersing yourselves in Scripture. But don't just imagine. Do it. Dive in. Get swept up in the story.
Or you can learn more about how the campaign works.

State senators today will weigh in on Gov. Nikki Haleys nomination of Ray Farmer to run the state Department of Insurance, a confirmation hearing that at least one senator said will include hard questions about home insurance rates.
It wont be a rubber-stamp hearing, said Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort, a member of the Senates Banking and Insurance Committee.
Davis said he plans to ask Farmer why home insurance rates are so high, especially in coastal areas. Im not sure which direction the hearing will go, Davis said. It depends on Mr. Farmers answers.
Haley nominated Farmer in November after the department had gone without a director for nearly a year. Farmer is a former lobbyist for the American Insurance Association in Atlanta.
Haleys selection triggered criticism from the South Carolina Competitive Alliance, a group of business people in Beaufort and Hilton Head.
Led by Andy Twisdale, a Hilton Head real estate agent, and Daryl Ferguson, a retired executive, the group said insurers are charging too much for insurance, and that state regulators have done little to represent consumers.
Farmer was a lobbyist for 30 years, but in an interview in December, he said he also worked as a regulator in Georgia. He said this experience gives him a unique perspective when it comes to balancing the needs of industry and consumers.
Haleys spokesman, Rob Godfrey, said Tuesday, The governor refused to settle for just anyone but the very best to serve as insurance director, and she is looking forward to his swift confirmation.
The hearing will begin at 11 a.m. in Columbia.
