Three story lines
Bad taste: This game has the potential to be a defining moment for both clubs. Coming off a bitter 23-20 loss at Cleveland, the Bengals seek momentum heading into their bye. Tampa Bay, meanwhile, has had two weeks to lick its wounds from a 38-13 pounding administered by the Steelers. How both teams respond could set the tone for the remainder of the season.
Sad sacks: The Bengals rank 32nd and dead last in the league in sacks with 3.0 in four games, while the Bucs are tied with five teams for 26th place (second last) with 4.0 in three games. The ability to get pressure on QBs Carson Palmer and Josh Freeman is paramount because neither defense can afford to allow the opposing QB to get in a comfortable rhythm.
Good bye: While the Bengals search for consistency on both sides of the ball, the Bucs used their bye to get a pair of rookies (WR Arrelious Benn and TB LeGarrette Blount) up to speed so they can play a bigger role in Freeman's development. It'll be interesting to see just how far both teams have come, and will go, after tough losses.
Three key Bengals
C Kyle Cook: The OL is struggling in both pass protection and run blocking, and Cook is responsible for getting the line straightened out. He'll be staring at the Bucs' top two draft picks in rookie DTs Gerald McCoy and Brian Price, so it's important for Cook to set the tone with disciplined and physical technique.
RE Antwan Odom: Shut out in the sacks department, Odom needs to take a big step forward against Bucs LT Donald Penn. Odom worked hard to rehab from a torn Achilles, but he lacks the explosiveness he showed early last season before his injury. If he doesn't blossom, the pass rush will suffer.
LCB Adam Jones: Look for Jones to start in place of LCB Johnathan Joseph, who suffered a bruised forearm against the Browns. Jones has the quickness, speed and ball skills needed to school the Bucs' young receivers, but he has to stay disciplined. Gambling for interceptions won't work against the improved Bucs.
Three key Buccaneers
WR Arrelious Benn: The third wideout taken in the 2010 draft, Benn has only just begun to scratch the surface of his enormous potential. Fourth-round rookie WR Mike Williams burst out of the starting gate this season. Now it's time for Benn, a second-round draft pick, to do a little catching up. Benn's size, strength and physical style of play is a big plus for the Bucs.
MLB Barrett Ruud: The son of former Bengals LB Tom Ruud, Barrett stands in the eye of the hurricane. He must read his keys and flow to the ball in an attempt to contain TB Cedric Benson. At the same time, he'll be asked to cover TE Jermaine Gresham over the middle. Ruud needs to morph into Mr. Goodwrench on Sunday.
FS Cody Grimm: Grimm made his first start against the Steelers and it was a baptism by fire as he replaced Tanard Jackson, who is suspended for at least a year for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. As the Bucs' last line of defense, Grimm will be severely tested against the receiver duo of Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco because the Bengals plan to take some shots deep downfield.
Bottom line
The Bengals want to embrace the blessings and fight the curses of history against Tampa Bay on Sunday. The Bucs have won five straight against the Bengals to claim a 6-3 series lead that includes a 4-2 advantage in Cincinnati. The Bengals have not beaten Tampa Bay since 1989 when they prevailed 56-23 at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium. The good news for the Bengals: They are 12-2-1 in their last 15 home games against NFC teams for a winning percentage of .833. The Bucs will be healthy and well prepared for Cincinnati's balanced offense and stingy defense. But rust tends to form during bye weeks, and the Bucs' youthfulness could backfire against a Bengals squad that's eager to rebound from a terrible loss at Cleveland. The Bucs are an up-and-coming team, but they're not there yet. The final: Bengals 31, Bucs 17.

STOCKTON, CA - The two-bedroom house was listed as a "fixer," but with a sales price of just $9,000-- the new owner isn't complaining.
Sam Galano, a retired general contractor, just closed escrow on what was the cheapest single family home on the market in the seven counties served by the Metrolist multiple listing service.
"It's going to be a lot of work, but it can be done," Galano said.
Galano expects to spend about $6,000 in materials and two months' worth of labor to make the house at 1222 S. Pilgrim Street habitable for his son.
Galano won a bidding war that began when OneWest Bank put the house on the market for $5,900 in June.
The new owner is responsible for paying city fines and fees attached to the property totalling about $7,000.
Galano was represented by Sheri Pritchett of Innovative Realty, who earned a $1,000 commission for closing the sale.
At just $12 per square foot, Pritchett believes the house was a bargain in spite of the penalties and amount of work required.
"I think he got a pretty good deal," she said.

Tansy's Con Report 2: Cocktails, Cupcakes and a Trifle or twoMonday, June 11th, 2012
Can't believe Alex has already managed to write up the whole con! I'm still grouping the events by theme…
And speaking of events, there were all manner of special ones at this convention. I was delighted to be able to go to Narrelle Harris' launch of Walking Shadows, the sequel to The Opposite of Life. This book has been a long time coming, and it was delightful to see it finally HERE. I adore Narrelle, and she deserves all the wonderful writerly things that have been happening for her this year. It was a smallish program room but utterly packed, standing room only (and there were plenty on their feet) as Jason Nahrung launched the books, and we all queued up to buy it. I have a copy!
Speaking of books, I was also excited beyond all measure to get my hot little hands on Medea by Kerry Greenwood, one of my favourite Ancient Greece novels of all time, recently reissued by ClanDestine Press, who are also publishing Narrelle's novels. I've never owned a copy of this book (I read it through the library) but am so excited to have a chance to reread it.

Now Playing: College Adventures + Mass Effect 3
by funsohng on Comments
Do want [size=14]College[/size] Yes, somehow my university thought I was not worth kicking out, so I'm back in the academic drama. I decided to drop what I came to really hate in past recent years (mostly due to things happening in Korea), political science, or, anything related to politics in general. Also from my experience, every poli-sci tutorial session makes me feel like I'm in a goddamn OT bickering about politics with a goddamn showoff who has no idea what the f*ck he's talking about. Instead, I decided to do what I wanted to do when I first applied for colleges back in high school, and that's cinema studies. Yeah, I wanted to get into productions, but I have matured enough and come to appreciate the analytic side of the filmic industry, and so far, I am very satisfied. It looks like it's exactly what I was hoping for. Also, my TA looks like Tatiana Maslany which is an absolute plus. The history major side of things are, well, pretty much the same. I'm taking Caribbean Histories (lots of work, but so far so good), 19th Century Europe (with a really funny Greek professor) and History of Russia (also pretty awesome). I still haven't decided which field I am going to specialize in, and I have another course on gender and racial issues throughout the history so we shall see. So yeah, so far so good. Obviously, the "real" work for history students don't start till our first paper, but yeah, I'm feeling good so far. It's so much better than talking about Canadian History, for sure. [size=14]TV Shows[/size] Breaking Bad ended. And ended well. Sure, the last episode wasn't as good as Ozymandias, but really, in my opinion, the last three episode of season 5 should be consider one whole episode broken into 3, just like how Crawl Space and Face-Off was more like 2 hour finale they decided to cut in half. It may have been too clean, but once you get down with little bits of narrative symbolism, everything about Walt's life got some kind of satisfying closure, and that is something you don't see very often. I stopped watching Ray Donovan, The Bridge, and Low Winter Sun, mostly because I didn't feel like I was compelled enough to continue. I will continue, especially The Bridge, because it was pretty good from what I've seen, and LWS also was starting to get interesting after 3rd episode. Ray Donovan.... is inconsistent, to say the least. Homeland season 3 is on, and well, it's more Homeland. It would be interesting to see how they will damage-control the f*ck up at the end of season 2 (both literally and metaphorically), and the end of the season premier seemed like it's promising. But I'm indeed getting tired of seeing Carrie's exaggerated emotions. Downton Abbey also ended its last season with absolutely horrifying event, perhaps even more horrifying than Homeland, and the season premier got some of the things under control. Sure, I still feel a huge gaping hole whenever I watch it, but they are constantly introducing new conflicts and characters to keep the story going. And well.... it's more Downton abbey. What can I say. As long as Dowager Countess doesn't pass away, the show will have at least some virtues despite shortcomings. Haven't even started SHIELD yet. [size=14]Mass Effect 3[/size] I will probably do a formal restrospect review of this later down the road, but I now feel the game is actually pretty awesome. I actually don't mind the ending very much anymore, and the actual game is so damn entertaining, especially the multiplayer. MP got pretty much instant scrutiny and hatred solely because it was MP, but really, after all the free DLCs and patches, it's very good. It's Horde Mode, somewhat lighter version of it, but the variety and the fact ME3 combat is so unique in contemporary TPS genre really give it upped end. I like how it's almost like TF2 where some classes are meant for support roles, and how it's essential to cooperate, and encourages people to do so without forcing them to. This is how a co-op game should be done. So if anyone want to play it on PC with me, add me on Origin (funsohng).

A 5post member has shared this great set of F10 5-series photos from a F10 VIP launch event held in Sweden. See inside for the full set.
Here are all the official details, videos and wallpapers related to the newly released Concept ActiveHybrid 5-series. This is still a concept car in name, but expect a production model to follow suit
Here are the first official photos of the F10 5-series hybrid which will be making its world debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in just a few days! Photos courtesy of Auto Motor und Sport.
Here are the first photos of an F10 5-series sedan right alongside the F11 5-series touring. As one can see, besides the difference in roofline and the rear design, the F11 touring retains the F10s beautiful lines and design features.

The new 5-series touring (F11) model will make its world debut at the 2010 Auto Mobil International (AMI) being held on April 10, 2010 in Leipzig, Germany. Germany is traditionally the biggest market for the 5-series wagon so it's natural that the F11 make its debut in Leipzig. The F11 touring is not expected to be available in the U.S. market however.
Here is yet another review of the 5-series to add to our growing list. This video is in dutch but they have been thoughtful enough to subtitle it in English for the rest of us. Take a look below and enjoy..
The F10 sedan is due to bow its head in just another few weeks at the Geneva autshow and this F11 Wagon will then appear at the Paris autoshow later in the year, with availablity at dealerships in the summer/fall of 2010. Until then, enjoy some more spy video!

I previewed a Space Gray Metallic 535i F10 in SE trim on 16-Feb at Rybrook Warwick, in Warwickshire, England. No pictures were allowed so apologies in advanced – the car was even hidden behind screens to protect it from general view within the dealership.
My first observations were:

Here's the comparison everyone wants to see. Motortrend has undertaken the battle of the titans of the mid-sized german sedan market by pitting the 2011 535i against the 2010 Mercedes E350. Was there a clear winner? Check out the review to find out.
Although the real Alpina F10 based B5 is still many moons away from reality, that obviously doesn't stop any real enthusiast with a copy of Photoshop and a good eye from imagining what may be. 5Post member zerenico has done just that and has come up with a stunning photoshop that likely gives us a fairly good look at what a B5 could look like
I cant speak French, but despite the language barrier, this video review does its job well and reaches across all languages IMO. The sounds and action footage does the job very well
Just a reminder, the upcoming 535i will be equiped with the new N55 single turbo twin scroll engine producing 300hp that has made its first appearance in the 535i Gran Turismo and will be seen across nearly the entire BMW lineup.

Porter-Gaud cross country runner Brent Demarest can enjoy a little rest and relaxation during the holiday season.
The senior recently completed his swimming and cross country seasons, competing in his final event last weekend. Demarest was in San Diego for the prestigious Foot Locker cross country nationals, where he finished 28th with a time of 15 minutes, 53 seconds
Demarest won his fourth straight SCISA state title this fall with a time of 14.46, only the third runner in South Carolina to break the 15-minute barrier at a state championship.
Demarest is The Post and Courier's high school cross country male runner of the year. Pinewood Prep's Maryah Nasir, an eighth-grader who finished second in the SCISA state championship, is the female runner of the year.
Demarest, who heads up the All-Lowcountry cross country teams, said the San Diego event was worth the extra work since his state high school season ended weeks ago.
"It's pretty awesome," said Demarest, who also was crowned a state champ at the SCISA state swimming meet. "It's a totally different experience. You get the opportunity to push yourself to the limits because you are going up against the best in the nation."
Demarest also competes in the 1,600- and ,3200-meter runs in track and field and will be the prohibitive favorite in both events at the state meet in May. After he graduates, he will attend the University of Virginia where he will run both cross country and track.
Nasir's future could be just as bright if she continues to work hard and remains healthy. She won the SCISA cross country state title as a seventh-grader and finished second this fall.
"It is a great accomplishment that I have done well against the competition," Nasir said. "I am doing well, but I know there's work to be done."
Her coach, Kelly Hazel, says Nasir has all the tools to be great.
"Like all super talents, she will be as good as she wants to be," Hazel said. "Her drive will determine her destiny as far as her running. Some young talented runners hit or miss the big times. Or they hit one race with a spectacular time. This past year, Maryah was very consistent with her racing, running mid-18s for most races. This fact alone sets her apart."
Nasir heads up the girls All-Lowcountry team, which includes Abby Bozarth, Summerville; Alexandra Zimmer, Stratford; Katie Black, Pinewood Prep; Rosa Marie Compton, Wando; Meghan Kuhn, Pinewood Prep; Michele Boykin, Bishop England; and Morgan Lee, Ashley Hall.
The boys team includes Keith Bartleson, James Island; Andrew Gawryluk, Wando; Jackson Ellenburg, Ashley Ridge; Christian Widenhouse, Bishop England; Mason Hazel, Pinewood Prep; Spencer Jacob, Wando; and Logan Veatch, Wando.
Brian Johnson, who led the Academic Magnet boys to the High School League's Class AA state title, is the coach of the year.

A fast crystallizing polyester composition comprising a block copolyester containing the repeating polymeric segments A and B wherein A is a polymeric segment of ethylene terephthalate units and B is a polymeric segment having a glass-transition temperature of less than 0° C. and preferably less than -20° C., the concentration of the segments of B being between 0.05 and 10 mole % of the block copolyester, and a crystallization nucleant which is an at least partially neutralized salt, preferably an alkali metal salt, of a polymer containing pendant neutralizable groups.
1. A fast crystallising polyester composition comprising a block copolyester containing the repeating polymeric segments A and B wherein A is a polymeric segement of ethylene terephthalate units and B is a polymeric segment having a molecular weight in the range 500 to 10,000 and a glass-transition temperature of less than 0° C. the concentration of the segments of B being between 0.05 and 10 mole % of the block copolyester and being selected from the group consisting of polyoxyalkylene glycols and wholly aliphatic polyesters, and 0.1 to 50% by weight of the composition of a crystallisation nucleant which is an at least partially neutralised salt of an ethylenically unsaturated polymer containing pendant carboxyl groups or anhydrides thereof.
2. A fast crystallising polyester composition according to claim 1 in which the salt is an alkali metal salt.
3. A fast crystallising polyester composition according to claim 1 containing from 5 to 80% by weight of the composition of glass fibres.
4. A fast crystallising polyester composition according to claim 1 in which the molecular weight of the polymeric segment B having a glass-transition temperature of less than 0° C. is between 1000 and 5000.
5. A fast crystallising polyester composition according to claim 1 wherein the polymeric segments B have a glass-transition temperature less than -20° C.
6. A fast crystallising polyester composition according to either claim 1 or claim 5 which contains from 0.1 to 5 mole % of polymeric segments B.
7. A fast crystallising polyester composition according to claim 1 which contains from 0.5 to 10% by weight of the composition of the crystallisation nucleant.
This invention relates to a fast crystallising polyester composition and more particularly to a block copolyester composition containing a major proportion of polyethylene terephthalate units.
The commercial development of polyethylene terephthalate, hereinafter termed PET, as a moulding powder for use in injection moulding machines has been hampered because the cycle time for moulding of dimensionally stable articles is somewhat longer than that for some other plastics of the engineering type. This is primarily due to the fact that the moulded composition does not reach a crystalline condition as rapidly as the other plastics. Premature ejection from the mould of an insufficiently crystallised moulding would mean that the article could continue to crystallise when in service with corresponding volume changes. A further disadvantage of PET is that it requires the moulds to be maintained at a temperature of at least 120° C. in order to achieve satisfactory results. More recently polyethylene terephthalate compositions have been made available which can be moulded more rapidly and at a lower mould temperature. British Patent Publications GB Pat. Nos. 2,015,013 and 2,015,014 describe such compositions containing a substantial quantity of a plasticiser and a polymeric nucleant having pendant carboxyl groups. The plasticiser has the effect of lowering the glass-transition temperature of the PET composition. Added plasticisers may, however, introduce some disadvantages into the composition. For example, the plasticisers may give rise to difficulties during moulding of the composition or may give rise to some deterioriation of the properties of the moulding. In addition the most effective plasticisers, in terms of lowering the glass-transition temperature and increasing the crystallisation rate may be so volatile that it is difficult to incorporate them in a practical manner. Compositions based on a copolyester of PET have now been developed which will crystallise rapidly at low mould temperatures without the need to include an external plasticiser.
According to the invention there is provided a fast crystallising polyester composition comprising a block copolyester containing the repeating polymeric segments A and B wherein A is a polymeric segment of ethylene terephthalate units and B is a polymeric segment having a glass-transition temperature of less than 0° C. and preferably less than -20° C., the concentration of the segments of B being between 0.05 and 10 mole % preferably from 0.1 to 5 mole % of the block copolyester, and a crystallisation nucleant which is an at least partially neutralised salt, preferably an alkali metal salt, of a polymer containing pendant neutralisable groups. The neutralisable groups should be sufficiently basic to react with the carboxylic ester groups in the copolyester to form a metal terephthalate species. Preferably the pendant neutralisable groups are carboxylic acid groups. Suitable salts include salts of copolymers of styrene and maleic anhydride, salts of copolymers of olefins and ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids or carboxylic acid anhydrides optionally containing non-conjugated dienes and salts of copolymers of acrylate and methacrylate esters and ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids or carboxylic acid anhydrides. Suitable ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids or anhydrides are, for example acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic anhydride and fumaric anhydride.
The preferred concentration of the polymeric nucleant is between 0.5% and 10% by weight of the total weight of the composition. Concentrations of less than 0.5% of the polymeric nucleants, for example 0.1%, may be used but will require the presence of additional nucleant of a different type to achieve a useful level of nucleation. Concentrations above 10% by weight of the polymeric nucleants used in the invention do not normally show much further improvement in the level of nucleation but the presence of up to 50% of such nucleants may confer additional benefits in other properties such as impact resistance.
The polyesters of the compositions of the invention have a significantly reduced glass-transition temperature but a melting point which is reduced by a much lower extent. The compositions develop sufficient crystallinity for form stability, when crystallised at low mould temperatures, at a much faster rate than the polyester not containing the polymeric segments B but do not have a significantly reduced working temperature in service.
In comparison with the externally plasticised compositions described in British Pat. Nos. 2,015,013 and 2,015,014 the combination of the presence of the low glass transition temperature blocks in the copolymer and the neutralised polymeric nucleant results in improved processing in the compounding extruder together with improved impact strength and less discolouration introduced at the moulding stage.
The polymeric segments of type B preferably have a molecular weight in the range 500 to 10,000 and is desirably between 1000 and 5000. The polymer used must be capable of undergoing polycondensation with the segments of PET through reactive end groups such as hydroxyl or carboxyl groups or of being linked to PET segments by the use of chain extenders. They must be thermally and chemically stable under the conditions necessary to form the block copolymer. Typically suitable as the precursors for the segments of B are polyethylene glycol, polyethylene adipate, polypropylene glycol, polybutylene glycol, polybutylene adipate, polycaprolactone, polydecamethylene glycol, polyethylene sebacate, polyethylene azelate and polyoxydiethylene sebacate.
The block copolyester used in the invention may be obtained from monomeric constituents of PET and the precursors of segment B by conventional means. For example, copolymers may be made by heating dimethyl terephthalate, ethylene glycol and the precursor in the presence of an appropriate catalyst at about 200° C. until ester interchange is complete and thereafter heating at 275° C. to effect the polycondensation. Alternatively, a preformed polymer of the polyester or a polyester diol can be compounded under melt conditions with an appropriate reactive precursor. Chain extenders, such as isocyanates, epoxides, phenyl esters and carbonates, may also be included in a melt compounding process. The melt compounding process is also useful for preparing block copolyesters having various concentrations of the segment B from copolyesters having a higher concentration of segment B. In this "let-down" process PET may be melt blended, for example, with a copolyester of PET containing 10 mole % of polyethylene oxide segments to give a copolyester containing a polyethylene oxide concentration which has been reduced in proportion to the total concentration of ethylene terephthalate units in the final composition.
As with other crystallisable materials the maximum rate of crystallisation is developed when nucleation sites are present in the crystallising mixture. A wide variety of nucleants are known for this purpose but the polymeric nucleants specified above are particularly suitable when optimum impact strength is required in the polyester composition. Finely divided inorganic materials give a lower nucleating efficiency than the polymeric nucleants used in the composition of the invention.
The compositions are particularly useful for use in engineering applications when they contain particulate or fibrous fillers because these materials can significantly enhance the mechanical properties of the composition. Of the fibrous fillers, glass fibre is most widely used and are commercially available in a variety of types. The most suitable type for giving optimum levels of mechanical properties will depend to a significant extent on the nature of the size applied to the glass. Manufacturers of glass fibres apply a variety of sizes for promoting bonding between the polymer and the glass. The most suitable glass may be chosen by examination of the properties obtained when the glass is incorporated in the composition or the advice of the glass fibre manufacturer may be sought to obtain a fibre suitable for use in polyester compositions. Suitable glasses are OCF 277B or OCF 419AA, obtainable from Owens Corning Fibreglas. The compositions may contain from 5 to 80% by weight of the composition of glass fibre.
The composition may additionally, or alternatively, contain a variety of mineral fillers such as clays, mica, calcium metasilicate, glass beads, pulverised fuel ash and hollow glass spheres and other materials which act not only as cheap fillers but also significantly enhance some mechanical properties of the composition. As with the glass fibre it is advantageous to use fillers which have been surface treated with adhesion-promoting materials such as silanes.
Whilst fast crystallising polyester compositions can be obtained in the absence of any external plasticisers, the compositions of the invention include those in which external plasticisers may be present.
In addition the compositions of the invention may include colourants, mould release agents, flame retardants, ultra-violet light stabilisers and stabilisers against thermal or oxidative degradation.
The fast crystallising characteristics of the compositions of the invention may be determined by subjecting small samples of the composition to differential scanning calorimetry techniques in addition to the practical test of determining the fastest rate at which articles may be injection moulded whilst retaining dimensional stability and good surface properties. One technique which may be used on small samples to examine the compositions of the present invention is as follows. In order to remove residual crystallinity as far as possible a 10 mg sample of the composition (dried overnight at ca. 100° C.) was first heated significantly above the melting point of the polyester for 2 minutes and then quenched in liquid nitrogen. Thus the composition is melt pressed at 300° C. for 2 minutes prior to quenching in liquid nitrogen. The sample was then heated in a Perkin Elmer DSC-2 machine at 20° C./min until a temperature of 300° C. was reached. After leaving the sample at 300° C. for 2 minutes it was cooled at 20° C./minute. For a control sample of PET homopolymer the trace of the heat changes involved on heating the sample shows a glass-transition temperature (Tg) in the region of 70° C., a pronounced exotherm, as crystals tend to form from the glassy state, with a peak just below 150° C. (Tn) and a marked endotherm as the polymer melts (Tp) at about 260° C. On cooling, the temperature at which crystal growth starts (Ts) is readily observed as the start of an exotherm which has a maximum crystallisation rate at its peak (Tc). By comparison with this trace for polyethylene terephthalate a composition according to the invention would have a value for Tn of less than 120° C. and desirably less than 110° C. and Tc values which differ by less than 15° C. and desirably less than 10° C. In practice it has been found that Tn corresponds closely to the temperature at which the peak in the crystallisation curve is reached within 60 seconds under isothermal conditions.
Other variations of this test may be used as indicated in the Examples.
The intrinsic viscosity of the polyesters in the compositions of the invention are determined on a 1% solution of the polyester in o-chlorophenol measured at 25° C.
The invention is further illustrated by reference to the following examples.
A block copolyester containing blocks of PET and polyethylene oxide was prepared from a polyethylene glycol having a nominal molecular weight of 4000. The block polymer contained 10 weight % of the polyethylene oxide segments. This polymer was melt compounded with the various additives listed in Table 1 below. The Table also records the data obtained from the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies, outlined above. For comparison purposes the Table includes data on a PET polymer and the polyethylene glycol (PEG 4000) used to prepare the block copolymer.
TABLE 1______________________________________ Differential Scanning Calorimetry Data (°C.)Additive Tg Tn Tp Ts Tc______________________________________1% `Mistron 49 113.5 251 216 206Superfrost` Talc5% `Surlyn`* 1601 48.5 104 251 213 20730% glass fibre + 51.5 111 250.5 217 2081% talc30% glass fibre + 53.5 104 251 216 209.55% `Surlyn`* 1601None 48 132 250 206 174Control 30 133 249 209 190PET (IV 0.65)______________________________________ *`Surlyn` 1601 a partially neutralised ethylene/methacrylic acid copolymer (sodium salt).
These results indicate that the compositions containing talc as nucleant were less nucleated than those containing `Surlyn` as shown by the lower Tn values of the latter.
In actual moulding of test pieces (melt temperature 280° C., mould temperature 110° C.) the lower Tn values for the `Surlyn`-containing compositions resulted in smooth glossy mouldings compared with rough, dull mouldings for the talc nucleated compositions.
Composition containing equal parts by weight of the block copolymer used in Example 1 and a polyethylene terephthalate homopolymer having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.65 were blended together and with varius additives as listed in Table 2.

A copolyester containing blocks of PET and 5% by weight of blocks of polyethylene oxide (derived from polyethylene glycol of nominal molecular weight=1540) was blended with 30% by weight of 3 mm long glass fibre and various levels of `Surlyn` 1601 by tumbling. The mixture was compounded in a screw extruder. The crystallisation properties of the product obtained was assessed by measuring the Tn value of the composition as previously described. Physical properties were measured on test pieces formed from the composition. The results obtained are recorded in Table 4.

A block copolyester containing 10% by weight of blocks of PET and polyethylene oxide was prepared using a polyethylene glycol of nominal molecular weight 1540. The copolyester was compounded with 30% by weight of 3 mm glass fibres and the various levels of `Surlyn` 1601 listed below. Table 5 below records values of Tg and Tn obtained from DSC measurements as previously described and other physical properties.

A block copolyester containing 10% by weight of blocks of polytetramethylene oxide units was prepared using polytetramethylene glycol. The copolyester was compounded together with 30% by weight of glass fibres (3 mm) and 5% by weight of `Surlyn` 1601.
DSC measurements indicated values of Tg and Tn of 47° C. and 99° C. respectively.
In this example a composition (hereinafter termed Comparative Composition A) according to British Patent Publication No. 2,015,014 containing 30% by weight of glass fibre, 5% by weight of a partially neutralised sodium salt of an ethylene/methacrylic acid copolymer, 5.5% by weight of neopentylglycol dibenzoate, 0.2% by weight of tetrabis[methylene(3,5di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate)] methane as stabiliser and the balance (59.3% by weight) of PET with an intrinsic viscosity of 0.63 is compared with a similar composition (hereinafter termed Composition B) except in that the neopentylglycol dibenzoate was omitted and the PET was replaced with a copolyester of blocks of PET and 5% by weight of blocks of polyethylene oxide. The polymer content of the second composition was 64.8% by weight.
The crystallisation properties of the two compositions were assessed by the DSC techniques previously described. The results detailed in Table 6 indicate a slightly lower value of Tn for the composition according to the invention. This difference is shown more clearly when comparing the half crystallisation times under isothermal conditions. Although there is little difference at high temperatures the results indicate that Composition B would crystallise considerably more quickly at a mould temperature of 90° C. than Comparative Composition A.
TABLE 6______________________________________ DSC measurements Half crystallisation times (min) Tg Tn at 90° C. 100° C. 110° C. 120° C.______________________________________Comparative 65 110 10.0 1.2 0.52 0.25Composition AComposition B 61 108 2.8 0.7 0.3 0.23______________________________________
The two compositions were moulded on Ankerwerke A36 injection moulding machine into plaques of dimensions 75 mm×50 mm×3 mm. The plaques were prepared using a melt temperature in the range 280° C. to 290° C. and at mould temperatures of 90° C. and 110° C. Very noticeable fuming was observed during the moulding of Comparative Composition A which was absent in the case of Composition B. Examination of the mould surface showed that Comparative Composition A had left a deposit in the mould. The mouldings obtained for Composition B had significantly better surface finish than Comparative Composition A particularity when moulded at a mould temperature in excess of 90° C.
The physical properties measured on the mouldings are recorded in Table 7.
TABLE 7______________________________________ Moulding Conditions Melt Mould Flexural Charpy impact temp. temp. modulus NIS UNISComposition (°C.) (°C.)

As expected the flexural modulus of composition B is lower than that of Comparative Composition A because of the presence of the low Tg blocks in the former. On the other hand unnotched impact strength of composition B was superior to that of Comparative Composition A.
In further comparative mouldings of large dimensions it was observed that under severe conditions Composition B was less susceptible to degradation (as indicated by the appearance of dark coloured streaks in the moulding) than was Comparative Composition A. This superior thermal stability was confirmed by ageing the compositions in air. At temperatures in excess of 140° C. Comparative Composition A became discoloured considerably more quickly than Composition B.
A block copolyester containing blocks of PET and polyethylene oxide was prepared from a polyethylene glycol having a nominal molecular weight of 4000. The block copolyester contained 30% by weight of the polyethylene oxide segments. The copolyester was compounded with 5% by weight of the total composition of `Surlyn` 1706 (a partially neutralised ethylene/methacrylic acid, zinc salt). The Tn value of the composition was determined as follows. After drying a sample of the product overnight at 100° C. to 110° C. in a vacuum oven a film (0.375 mm thick) was obtained by pressing the product between PTFE coated stainless steel glazing plates at a pressure of 18 MPa and a temperature of 280° C. After 1 minute at the required pressure the mould was quenched in an ice-batch. About 10 mg of sample was cut from the film and heated in a Perkin Elmer DSC 2 machine at a rate of 16° C./minute. A Tn value of 64° C. was observed compared with a value of 71° C. for the copolyester not containing the `Surlyn` additive.

I'm perplexed at two of the different types of comments that I've seen on this thread:
1. Buckeye fans who think we have no shot at finishing #1 in the AP poll. If Notre Dame loses we will this season as the ONLY undefeated team in the country and will move up to at least #3 in the ranking behind two teams that will play each other in the SEC championship the following week (Alabama & Georgia).
This means that going into the National Championship game we will be at #2 in the country with a ND loss. If the #1 team were to lose to the #3 in the title game, then we have a very legitmate case to finish as the #1 team in the country.
2. Buckeye fans who "don't care if we finish #1" and think that it would be fun to just beat Michigan and be undefeated. Are we serious? Ohio State has a very realistic shot at winning the AP championship and claiming their 8th official national championship and we don't care if we finish #1? The obvious question here is if winning a national championship isn't something to care about - what is?

Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe provides the most controversial and compelling critique of Heart of Darkness in his essay "An Image of Africa." Achebe claims that Conrad's novella is racist because it portrays Africa and Africans as the "dark" background to the Europeans central to the story. (You can also listen to an NPR interview of Achebe on Conrad's novella.)
"If there is something in these utterances more than youthful inexperience, more than a lack of factual knowledge, what is it? Quite simply it is the desire-one might indeed say the need-in Western psychology to set Africa as a foil to Europe, a place of negations at once remote and vaguely familiar in comparison with which Europe's own state of spiritual grace will be manifest."

Jane Hamsher and I agree on very little. But she was an honest voice on the left railing against ObamaCare, which forces people to buy insurance they don't want and possibly can't afford from Big Insurance. Now she sounds, well, eminently reasonable once again:
Like Harriet Miers, she doesn't have a record to tell us how she would adjudicate from the bench. They led a rebellion against the executive branch and the same thing should happen here. I object to appointment somebody that has no track record. … Accepting Kagan just because people like Obama is wrong. That's appropriate for American Idol, not the Supreme Court. Nobody knows what she stands for but him. It's just a cult of personality with Obama. This is the Supreme Court.
Harriet Miers was dumped not only because she had no track record, of course. But why shouldn't the left take Hamsher's view? Everyone thinks she's a liberal, but who knows? And why should the left settle for someone who's been a squish all her career, trimming and shading to ingratiate herself with both sides and never really showing her hand? (I know, there's an eerie resemblance there.) I suppose the left could just trust Obama, but he's the one who disappointed them on the public option. And the Patriot Act. And the release of the detainee-abuse photos. Just saying.

About Ciarán
My name's Ciarán Norris (in case the URL didn't give it away) and I'm currently the Chief Digital Officer at Mindshare Australia.
Before that I was the SEO & Social Media Director at digital marketing agency Altogether Digital. We did all sorts of interesting stuff, including viral campaigns that won Gold Lions at Cannes, and social networking campaigns that got cited as best practice by major research companies. Which was nice. And between then & now I was the first Head of Social at Mindshare's global office in London and then the Head of Digital for Mindshare Ireland.
I'm currently trying to amalgamate all the stuff I have out on the web though why I should think anyone would care, I really have no idea. This includes all the various presentations I've given at conferences around the world over the last few years.
Hopefully this will be the only place you need to come to hear my views on music, the internet, life and everything else. Why you'd want to do that, I have no idea, but anyway….

Most of the time blood is drawn from a vein located on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. Drawn from a veinVenipuncture is the collection of blood from a vein, usually for laboratory testing.Read Article Now Book Mark Article In infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin.

How to Prepare for the Test Many medicines can interfere with blood test results.Your health care provider will tell you if you need to stop taking any medicines before you have this test. Do not stop or change your medications without talking to your doctor first. How the Test will Feel You may feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted. You may also feel some throbbing at the site after the blood is drawn. Why the Test is Performed The main use of this test is to check infants for an inherited disorder that affects the adrenal gland, called congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). It is often done on infants who are born with outer genitals that do not clearly look like those of a boy or a girl.Congenital adrenal hyperplasiaCongenital adrenal hyperplasia is the name given to a group of inherited disorders of the adrenal gland.Read Article Now Book Mark Article This test is also used to identify people who have a condition called nonclassical adrenal hyperplasia. A doctor may recommend this test for women or girls who have male traits such as:Excess hair growth in places where adult men grow hair Deep voice or an increase in muscle mass. Normal Results Normal and abnormal values differ for babies born with low birth weight. In general, normal results are as follows:Newborn cord blood - 1,000 - 3,000 ng/dL Babies more than 24 hours old - less than 100 ng/dL Adults - less than 200 ng/dLNote: ng/dL = nanograms per deciliter.Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories.

Coughs send more people to the doctor's office than most other specific symptom, according to experts. And Americans spend billions of dollars every year on over-the-counter medications to fight coughs, such as cough suppressants and expectorants.
Clearly we're concerned about our coughs. Clearly we rely on cough medication. What's unclear is the answer to this core question: Do cough medicines work?
"We've never had good evidence that cough suppressants and expectorants help with cough," says Norman Edelman, MD, chief medical officer at the American Lung Association. "But people are desperate to get some relief. They're so convinced that they should work that they buy them anyway."
Should you take cough medicine? Here's what you need to know about the pros and cons of common cough medicines.
Cough Medicine: The Evidence
Coughs cause a lot of misery. According to research:
- Coughs are the reason for more than 30 million doctor visits every year.
- By some estimates, coughs are the most common medical symptom.
- Studies show that acute and chronic coughs reduce a person's quality of life.
We're desperate for an effective cough treatment. However, we don't seem to have one. No new licensed cough treatment has appeared in more than 50 years -- and the evidence for older drugs is not strong.
- A 2010 review of studies found that there is no evidence to support using common over-the-counter drugs for cough. This includes cough suppressants, such as dextromethorphan, or expectorants such as guaifenesin, which are supposed to loosen up mucus in the airways.
- In 2006, the American College of Chest Physicians surveyed a number of cough medicine studies from the last few decades. It found no evidence that these medicines help people with common coughs caused by viruses.
It's important to understand that these studies have not proven that cough medicines don't work. Rather, they've just found no proof that they do. It's always possible that further studies could show that they help.

Gear Review
Not the best, but holds your feet in.
I bought these with the idea that they were comparable with the fks or jester. I misjudged. After only 30 days on them, they are already starting to give me problems with sloppy heel and some releasing. After cranking the din above my recommended number, they were better. I also marked them down on pure anticipation of them breaking, with the plastic heel bits. They will do for this season, and maybe longer if I baby them, but you probably won't find me buying anything from Salmon any time soon.
That being said, if you are looking for a solid binding and don't abuse your gear to the point I do, this might do the trick, I would consider jesters

Step 1: Material
-An arduino (any board should work)
-Soldering iron and solder or a breadboard
-A 10k resistor
-Any playstation 1 or 2 remote
-A playstation socket (optionnal)
Step 2: The hardware
You will also have to put a 10k resistor between the data pin-digital12 and red wire-5V.
If you use the remote socket, just follow the picture i sent.
Step 3: The software
You will need to connect the remote to the arduino before uploading the code to it.
If you need help, feel free to comment and if you know a easy way to share C# projects on Visual Studio, i could give you my source.
Also, do not forget to keep the .dll (additional library) next to the .exe or it won't work.
