First Official Images From Keira Knightley's 'Dangerous Method'
The first official look at Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender and Keira Knightley in "A Dangerous Method" has been provided in stills. Both Mortensen and Fassbender sport vintage looks to portray Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung respectively, while the actress seems vulnerable as she plays a troubled but beautiful young woman named Sabina.
Based on the play "The Talking Cure" by Christopher Hampton and drawn from true-life events, the film centers its story on the turbulent relationships between fledgling psychiatrist Carl Jung and his mentor Sigmund Freud after Sabina, driven mad by her past, is brought to see Jung by her father.
Detailing Knightley's character, director David Cronenberg recently said, "Really [Sabina] was a passionate, intelligent, very creative woman who didn't have an outlet for those things so it manifested itself as madness until she met Carl Jung. She was 18, he was about 29. They had an affair, she become his mistress." He concluded, "So it's the story of the three of them particularly and it's a really fascinating story."
Vincent Cassel and Sarah Gadon are additionally among the cast of the drama, which is expected to come out in 2011.

Artist: Screaming Trees
Album: Other Worlds
In the land where we must speak every one of us will roam
The birds that fly here never know
Tallest trees or windows blow
Now your mind is next to mine
Infinity leaves us behind
Now your mind is next to mine
We go on down the road of time
Mirrors go on down below
No one knows just where we go
In a sea far past the night
Don't wake up and scream in fright
(Repeat chorus)
Now we know where we will be
Together in the darkened trees
The human race down on its knees
Someday yeah you will see

Poacher Sansar Chand gets 6 years in jail

Handing down the maximum punishment under the Wildlife Protection Act to Chand, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Digvinay Singh remarked that "despite various steps taken by governments across the globe, offences relating to wildlife are refusing to come down".
Referring to Chand, the magistrate said that "such repeated offenders need to be dealt with iron hands, particularly when there have been three previous convictions and involvement in other similar offences".
"The punishment given to the convict should not only be commensurate with offence committed by him, but should also act as a deterrent not only to this convict but to others involved in similar offences of wildlife,"the judge added.
Chand was first convicted for possession of uncured skins by a Delhi court in 1974,when he was only 16 years old.
Between then and now, he was tried, on the basis of confessional statements of various accused traders,in at least 4 cases, but was let off each time since no animal products could be recovered from him.
This case dates back to July 17, 1995, when Delhi Police arrested Chand with a leopard skin, hidden in a canvas bag. After Wildlife Inspector and complainant in the case, V Bharati Dasan, and Delhi's Chief Wildlife Warden D M Shukla identified the leopard skin presented before the court as the one seized from the poacher,Chand's counsel contended that it cannot be used as evidence as it was not examined by a competent laboratory.
But the court rejected the contention, saying,"Wildlife officials not only have adequate qualifications to identify such animal skins, but also by virtue of their training and experience, are competent of identifying such articles".
Reacting to the judgement, Vice Chairman, Wildlife Trust of India, Ashok Kumar,said,"I welcome the sentence, but that it's taken 15 years for him to be punished is a worry. Now that special courts are being set up to dispose cases related to wildlife crimes, I hope justice will be quicker."

Cougars & Mustangs: The big announcement
By CHRIS WHITE-SANBORN
My dear, dear Cougars and Mustangs readers, I have a big announcement to make, even if it will end up making little to no impact on your life whatsoever. It's the announcement. The counting-my-chickens-before-they-hatch announcement, perhaps, but also the there-have-been-enough-goshdarned-eggs-at-this-point-that-one-of-them-is-bound-to-hatch-eventually announcement.
In other words, this has been a long time coming, as anyone who knows me personally should be pretty well aware. Cougars and Mustangs readers, as well as the rest of the world, it is time for me to decree it publicly, as otherwise it runs the risk of not happening.
I, Chris White-Sanborn, am about to begin work on my first "serious" novel. I've waited long enough. It's time. Faithful readers may have heard me previously mention the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) challenge, a month-long event in which writers who've had the novel inklings for awhile but a lack of patience, bravery, time, or any variety of other things to seal the deal undertake the plucky task of beginning a novel in November and completing it (or at least writing 50,000 words of it) by the end of the month. Unless absolutely necessary, no real editing as you go along—it's about starting the thing, getting into the habit, preventing yourself from holding yourself back! I'm sure that with the wealth of talent to be found in the pool of college-going writers I bump into there are others who might be interested in trying their hand at this, to which I say "DO IT!"
Am I guaranteed to write a spectacular work of fiction by the time I'm done? Absolutely not. Is it possible that the idea will be executed so poorly as to ultimately need to be scrapped upon "completion"? Yes, theoretically it is, though I'm not sure that does myself enough credit. Ultimately, though, it is about getting into the swing of things, all that "write daily" stuff I've been told to get in the habit of but never found myself committing to.
Intern Chris White-Sanborn has really gone and done it now. Or, rather, he hasn't, and we'll see if he has come Dec. 1. Send your collegiate news to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Firestone to end latex production in LiberiaComments Email
HARBEL, Liberia (Aug. 19, 2014) — Firestone Natural Rubber Co., a subsidiary of Bridgestone Corp., will cease producing liquid latex at its Liberian plantation in the fourth quarter of 2014 and concentrate solely on the production of block rubber, the company said.
"This change will allow the company to utilize its entire output for the manufacture of tires and other rubber products," Firestone Natural Rubber said in a statement issued Aug. 14.
With the discontinuation of latex production, Firestone Natural Rubber also will close its latex terminals in Baltimore, Md., and Savannah, Ga., by the end of the fourth quarter, it said.
The company also said it is working with its latex customers to assure a smooth transition as they seek alternate sources of supply.
Approximately 200 workers, mostly in Liberia, will be affected by the end of latex production at the Firestone plantation, the company said. Because of employee attrition and reassignment, actual layoffs will be minimal, it said.
Firestone officials could not be reached for further comment.

New answers tagged synoptics
Matthew uses two as a stylistic way of giving more credibility to what he wrote. Remember he is writing to those with a Jewish background. If one notices that in most cases Hebrew word order is used. It is much like we hear children saying in conversations with one another like "my dad is better than your dad. No my dad is twice as good as your dad.
The example of Matthew mentioning two people (and animals) where Mark and Luke consistently agree on just one, is strong supporting evidence for Markan priority. It is only remotely possible that the authors of both Mark and Luke would both, so consistently, alter Matthew's mention of two, assuming Matthean priority, but quite feasible that the author of ...

Rodgers has strong day as Packers hold off 49ers
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Sure, Aaron Rodgers enjoyed beating the San Francisco 49ers. It's the team he grew up rooting for, and the team that snubbed him on draft day in 2005.
But Rodgers wasn't gloating after Sunday's 30-24 victory, and neither were the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay (6-4) nearly blew a big lead in the second half, and now might have to hang in the playoff race without two key cogs in the defense: outside linebacker Aaron Kampman and cornerback Al Harris, who sustained potentially serious knee injuries.
Kampman and Harris both were carted to the locker room in the second half, and Packers coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged their injuries "did not look very good" and were cause for concern.
"Hopefully, these two injuries aren't as serious as we may think," McCarthy said.
Linebacker Nick Barnett posted on his Twitter account after the game that Harris' season is over, although it was not clear where he got the information.
"Bad news!!!" Barnett wrote. "Lost Al this whole season."
Harris' agent, Jack Bechta, did not immediately return a telephone message left by The Associated Press on Sunday night.
McCarthy said the Packers should know more about Kampman and Harris on Monday. For now, they'll try to carry all the things they did right in the first half into Thursday's game at Detroit.
And if Rodgers felt any sense of satisfaction in beating the team that passed him over in the draft, he kept it to himself.
"It's fun to play against a team that you idolized growing up, and watched every Sunday after church," said Rodgers, a native of Chico, Calif. "You've got to give those guys credit. I think in the second half, they fought a little harder."
Alex Smith, the player San Francisco drafted No. 1 instead of Rodgers that year, rebounded from a miserable start to throw three touchdown passes after halftime for the 49ers (4-6) -- including the first touchdown catch of Michael Crabtree's career.
But the rally fell short, making the 49ers' path to the playoffs much tougher.
"Either we're digging ourselves a hole early in the game and it's too much to overcome or we're getting ahead and we're finding ourselves too comfortable with a lead," San Francisco coach Mike Singletary said. "We have to settle down, our young guys have to settle down and play football."
The Packers led 23-3 at halftime and 30-10 in the fourth quarter after Smith threw an interception to Nick Collins that set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Green Bay's Ryan Grant, who rushed for 129 yards.
San Francisco's Josh Morgan returned a kickoff 76 yards and Smith threw a 24-yard touchdown to Vernon Davis, cutting Green Bay's lead to 30-17.
With Harris and Kampman still sidelined, Smith had long completions to Isaac Bruce and Crabtree on the next series, setting up a fourth-and-5 at the Green Bay 10. Smith found Frank Gore for a touchdown, cutting the lead to 30-24 with 5:56 left.
"Just because you're up on a team doesn't mean they're going to quit, and they didn't quit," cornerback Charles Woodson said. "We gave them some big plays in that second half and let them hang around and gave them some confidence."
Davis said the 49ers' success came in large part from their shotgun spread formations, and suggested the team should use the spread more often.
"We've just got to come out from the beginning and take advantage of the things we can take advantage of," Davis said. "If it's spreading the ball, maybe we need to do that. But it's not up to me, I don't call the plays."
Smith wasn't sold on the idea, saying it's too late in the season to make major changes.
Despite the momentum swings, the Packers managed to hold on -- something they didn't do in recent losses to Minnesota and Tampa Bay.
"It's definitely something that we can build off of," McCarthy said. "Because we've had some momentum swings in the past, just two weeks ago, that we didn't recover from."
After Gore's score, the Packers put together a drive that included a third-down conversion by Rodgers on a sneak, allowing them to run out the clock.
Rodgers was 32 of 45 for 344 yards, including 274 in the first half as the Packers took a 23-3 lead. Rodgers got a serviceable performance from his offensive line, which allowed two sacks Sunday. Coming into the game, Rodgers had taken a league-worst 41 sacks.
Although Smith's second-half rally was impressive -- he finished 16 of 33 for 227 yards -- Rodgers' performance provided further evidence the Packers got the better end of the deal when the 49ers chose Smith with the No. 1 pick in 2005. Rodgers, who also was under consideration for the top choice, slipped all the way to the Packers at No. 24.
"I'm happy for him," Smith said. "That's a guy that's been through his own adversity. The draft-day deal and then to come and sit behind Brett Favre and then the whole Brett Favre thing that happened here. Those are big shoes to fill and he stepped up."
Game notes
Kampman and Harris' injuries both appeared to be to their left knees. ... Rodgers' touchdown passes went to Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson. Jennings had 5 catches for 126 yards. ... The 49ers lost starting left guard David Baas to a right ankle sprain in the first quarter.

Price is towards the high side, but the quality of ingredents, quantity of food along with a great selection of signature burgers you get more than what you pay for! They also have something that I've never seen or had anywhere else, Lobster Corndogs! These are a must have if its your first time or 100th time visiting. Not into sea food, then your in luck because their wings are also amongst the best out there, I recommend spicy/bbq mix. As for their bar, you will be impressed with their beer selection. From local IPA's to a seasonal import on tap, all the best liquiors, and a quality wine list you will definitely find something to wet your whistle and compliment your meal. Honestly, if you are looking for a place to bring friends/family from out of town, a place to hang with your friends, or great date night Rok Brgr is your spot! With a great staff, great atsmosphere, and EXCEPTIONAL food all mixed into the heart of downtown Ft. Lauderdale you can't go wrong!

We had to wait long periods of time for everything.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — New York Rangers President and general manager Glen Sather announced the re-signing of forward Mats Zuccarello on Tuesday.
The Norwegian forward played in 15 games for the Rangers last season, scoring three goals and dishing out five assists. The three-year veteran also netted a goal and tallied six assists in 12 postseason games, ranking him second amongst Rangers last year for postseason points and assists.
In his three years as a Ranger, the 25-year-old has skated in 67 regular-season games and has recorded 34 career points. Zuccarello signed with the team on May 26, 2010, as an undrafted free agent after his MVP season with the Swedish Elite League (SEL), where he scored 64 points in 55 contests in the 2009-10 season.
After the re-signing of Zuccarello, Derek Stepan remains the only Rangers' unrestricted free agent who has yet to be signed.

Colombian president: persisting with prohibitionist drug policies is 'insane'
Juan Manuel Santos expressed dismay at UN decision to continue supporting criminalisation of drug use: 'The old way of doing things is the wrong way'The Guardian (UK)
Wednesday, April 20, 2016
Colombia's president, Juan Manuel Santos, has said it is "insane" to keep approaching the global narcotics problem with the same failed policies of the past and called on drug war hawks to understand that "the old way of doing things is the wrong way". Speaking after a United Nations policy summit voted to maintain its support for prohibitionist drug policies, Santos said: "Let me be clear with them: the prohibitionist approach has been a failure." (See also: As Colombia's leader, I know we must rethink the drugs war | Diplomacy or denialism? The language that the UNGASS Outcome Document overlooked)
Russia's 'cold turkey' approach highlights global divide over drug treatment at UN
Russian representative suggests methadone and heroin are the 'same narcotic drug' as outside experts condemn country's take on treatmentThe Guardian (UK)
Wednesday, April 20, 2016
As international leaders debated global drug law at the United Nations, a bizarre panel on heroin treatment showed just how divided countries are over how to treat addicts. The panel, sponsored by the Russian Federation, began with an international group of scientists and diplomats explaining the importance of evidence-based drug treatment, before a Russian doctor veered into addiction science denialism. "We prefer to treat people in a drug-free setting," Dr Oxana Guseva, a medical representative of the Russian Federation, told the Guardian afterward, "because methadone is the same narcotic drug as heroin." (See also: Russia, science, and the global war on drugs)
Weed and the UN: Why international drug laws won't stop legalization
Cannabis is clearly the elephant in the room at UNGASSVice (US)
Wednesday, April 20, 2016
Under the outcome document for UNGASS that was drafted by diplomats in Vienna and formally adopted at UN headquarters in New York, weed still remains strictly banned by the treaties that govern international law. The intransigence is a real problem that threatens to undermine the legitimacy of all types of international treaties. John Walsh, the senior associate for drug policy at the Washington Institute on Latin America (WOLA), is hosting one of two weed-focused "side events" scheduled at the UN. "Cannabis is clearly the elephant in the room at UNGASS," Walsh said. "It's there, it's huge, but no one wants to talk about it."
To win the war on drugs, stop brutalising farmers who grow them
Reform of drug policy is essential to protect the rights of cultivating communities, and ensure they make a living from their landPien MetaalThe Guardian (UK)
Tuesday, April 19, 2016
Reform of international drug control is urgently needed. The war on drugs has left a trail of suffering and criminality in its wake and has manifestly failed to achieve its objectives. The UN special session of the general assembly (UNGASS) presents an opportunity. Many reformers put drug users at the centre of changes to international drug policies, but the people growing the plants producing the substances they consume are often overlooked. Farmers' livelihoods and communities are inherently linked to reform of international drug policies. For hundreds of thousands of farmers' families, existing crop control laws and practices cause conflict and poverty. (See: Contributions of grower representatives at UNGASS)
UN backs prohibitionist drug policies despite call for more 'humane solution'
Plan adopted at special session focuses on reform and cooperation between nations but maintains policies that criminalise non-medical or scientific drug useThe Guardian (UK)
Tuesday, April 19, 2016
The 2016 UN General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) has approved an agreement that leaves in place the prohibitionist policies banning narcotics use, despite growing international discontent with the "war on drugs" – and the concerns of the nations that called the meeting. "So far, the solutions [to control drugs and crime] implemented by the international community have been frankly insufficient," Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto told the meeting. Within the General Assembly, the rift between countries interested in drug policy reform and those with repressive drug control regimes was evident.
Trouble in Europe's pot paradise
A bloody gang war is raging in AmsterdamVice (Netherlands)
Tuesday, April 19, 2016
Though the Dutch have struck a compromise with international treaties that shows great results for reducing harm for drug users, the approach has largely shielded problems with drug crime in the Netherlands from public view. All common illegal drugs are officially forbidden, but penalties for the possession are non-existent to low, depending on the substance and the amount in question. In reality, there are different gradations to the decriminalization of various substances, as well as a number of contradictory policies. Amsterdam's coffee shops are a notorious example. They dispense cannabis to locals and tourists alike, though the drug is illegal to produce, possess, and sell.
Swiss health minister open to cannabis distribution trials
Health Minister Berset has welcomed the possibility of organised trials for cannabis in Switzerland, within the parameters of existing lawsSwissinfo (Switzerland)
Sunday, April 17, 2016
In an interview with the NZZ am Sonntag newspaper, Berset said that his department welcomes trying out "new models and directions" such as controlled cannabis trials, as long as the necessary special permits are sought. When asked whether such trials would open a back door for legalisation of the substance, Berset answered with a clear "no". "The Swiss people voted down a legalisation initiative in 2008, but they also accepted the new drug law, which allows for special permits for medical treatments or research projects." (See also: Kann die Cannabisabgabe funktionieren?)
Cannabis: scientists call for action amid mental health concerns
Warning reflects growing consensus that frequent use of the drug raises the risk of psychotic disorders in vulnerable peopleThe Guardian (UK)
Friday, April 15, 2016
Global public health campaigns are needed to make clear the risks of heavy cannabis use, particularly for young people who are more susceptible to mental health problems, senior drugs researchers have said. The call for action from scientists in the UK, US, Europe and Australia reflects a growing consensus among experts that frequent cannabis use can increase the risk of psychosis in vulnerable people and lead to a range of other medical and social problems. The researchers are keen not to exaggerate the risks; cannabis alone is neither necessary nor sufficient to cause psychosis.
Hazy legality: how legal is Dutch weed really?
'The current system, in which you can sell cannabis but not grow it, is unsustainable'DutchNews (The Netherlands)
Friday, April 15, 2016
Last November, the local authorities' association VNG, which represents all 393 Dutch municipalities, issued a report stating that 'the current situation cannot continue'. 'By turning a blind eye [to marijuana], the government is giving criminals free rein to sell their products. The cannabis industry is closely entwined with organised crime, which is also involved in ecstasy and human trafficking,' the report said. The government, however, has consistently refused to consider any form of licensed growing. (See also: Marijuana cuttings soar in price as police crackdown hits growers)
Open letter to UN chief calls for global drug policy shift
The signatories of the letter call for an emphasis on drug use as a health policy issue with the focus on harm reductionAssociated Press (US)
Thursday, April 14, 2016
An open letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon signed by more than 1,000 people, including financier Warren Buffett, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and rock star Sting, says the war on drugs has failed and calls for a shift in global drug policy from emphasizing criminalization and punishment to health and human rights. The letter signed by former presidents of Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Switzerland and others, was made public Thursday in advance of a United Nations special session on the topic beginning April 19. It was released by the New York-based Drug Policy Alliance.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed to novel urea group-containing polyisocyanates which are modified with long chain compounds having a molecular weight of 400 to about 10,000 and a process for the preparation of these modified polyisocyanates.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Polyisocyanates containing urea groups are known. The diisocyanate prepared from 2 moles of 2,4-toluylene diisocyanate and 1 mole of water has been used in various polyurethane systems (see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,035,467, 2,818,404, DE 3,230,757 and DE 3,403,498). Also, the urea diisocyanate obtained from 2 moles of 2,6-toluylene diisocyanate and 1 mole of water is known (see U.S. Pat. No. 2,902,474).
These compounds, which are generally in the form of relatively high melting solids, are preferably prepared by reacting the starting polyisocyanates, which are free from urea groups, with water. Various methods are known for conducting this reaction as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,757,184, 3,906,019, DE 3,438,527 and DE 3,638,148).
The urea group-containing polyisocyanates prepared by these processes have in recent times been of great interest as solid isocyanate components for heterogeneous one component systems based on solid polyisocyanates and liquid or solid isocyanate reactive compounds. At low temperatures, the polyisocyanates and isocyanate reactive compounds are present side by side as separate phases in these systems and react very slowly with one another. It is only at relatively high temperatures that these systems become sufficiently compatible with one another to undergo a complete reaction. It is also possible to obtain complete stability in storage of these systems by surface inactivation of the polyisocyanate as disclosed in DE 3,230,757 (EP 103,323) and DE 3,403,500 (EP 150,790).
When polyisocyanates containing urea groups, in particular the produces prepared by the so called "water process" (DE 3,230,757 and DE 3,636,148) are used as the isocyanate component in heterogeneous one component systems which contain relatively low molecular weight isocyanate reactive components, it has been found that the cured end products do not attain the level of properties found in products which have been prepared from the same starting components but by different processes (e.g., by casting a solution obtained by a reaction of the starting components in an appropriate solvent).
This means that the reaction of the components of the heterogeneous system does not proceed quantitatively to form a homogeneous end product. Rather, a portion of the components remains unreacted.
It has now surprisingly been found that this problem may be solved by modifying the urea group containing polyisocyanates with long chain compounds.
The present invention is directed to novel urea group-containing polyisocyanates modified with long chain compounds having molecular weights of 400 to about 10,000.
The present invention is also directed to a process for the preparation of modified urea group-containing polyisocyanates by reacting starting polyisocyanates which are free from urea groups with water to form urea groups in an inert reaction medium or in an aqueous mixture containing a dispersion stabilizer, wherein the starting polyisocyanates are mixed or reacted with long chain compounds having molecular weights of 400 to about 10,000 before reacting the starting polyisocyanates with water and/or the long chain compounds are added to the inert reaction medium and/or to the water.
The new products are preferably prepared by reacting the starting polyisocyanate with water. This reaction may be carried out in an inert solvent as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,757,184 or in emulsion in an excess of water as disclosed in DE 3,438,527 and DE 3,636,148) as reaction medium.
In accordance with the present invention the polyisocyanate starting material may be mixed with the required quantity of modifying compound before the reaction with water. If the modifying component is isocyanate reactive, e.g., if it is a polyether, polyester or macromolecular polyamine, it is preferably reacted with the starting polyisocyanate before the water reaction. After this initial reaction, modified polyisocyanates containing urethane, urea and/or amide groups are obtained, which may be converted into allophanate, biuret or similar groups by known methods, e.g., by conducting the initial reaction at a higher temperature.
The process may be carried out with a) a solution of the modifying agent in the basic polyisocyanate or b) the reaction product, prepared by known methods, of the modifying compound and starting polyisocyanate. The reaction product may optionally contain only small quantities of unreacted starting polyisocyanate if the reaction product is treated, e.g., in a thin layered evaporator. Reaction products containing unreacted starting polyisocyanate may also be used.
Further, the modifying compound may be partly or completely dissolved or dispersed in the reaction medium (water or inert solvent) and used in this form. In this embodiment the modifying compound comes in contact with the polyisocyanate during the reaction with water, i.e., after the addition of the starting polyisocyanate to the reaction medium.
The starting polyisocyanates, which are free from urea groups, may be aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic polyisocyanates, e.g., those described by W. Siefken in Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie, 562, pages 75 to 136; Examples of starting polyisocyanates are those corresponding to the formula
n=2 to 4, preferably 2, and
Q represent
an aliphatic hydrocarbon group with 2 to 18, preferably 6 to 10 carbon atoms,
a cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon group with 4 to 15, preferably 5 to 10 carbon atoms,
an aromatic hydrocarbon group with 6 to 15, preferably 6 to 13 carbon atoms or
an araliphatic hydrocarbon group with 8 to 15, preferably 8 to 13 carbon atoms.
Examples of these polyisocyanates include ethylene diisocyanate, 1,4-tetramethylene diisocyanate, 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate, 1,12-dodecane diisocyanate, cyclobutane-1,3-diisocyanate, cyclohexane-1,3- and/or -1,4-diisocyanate, 1-isocyanato-3,3,5-trimethyl-5-isocyanatomethylcyclohexane (DE Auslegeschrift 1,202,785, U.S. Pat. No. 3,401,190), 2,4- and/or 2,6-hexahydrotoluylene diisocyanate, hexahydro-1,3- and/or -1,4-phenylene diisocyanate, perhydro-2,4'- and/or 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, 1,3- and 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate, 2,4- and/or 2,6-toluylene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane-2,4'-, 4,4'- and/or -2,2'-diisocyanate and napthylene-1,5-diisocyanate.
Further examples of suitable starting polyisocyanates include triphenylmethane-4,4',4"-triisocyanate, polyphenyl-polymethylene polyisocyanates which are obtained by the phosgenation of aniline/formaldehyde condensates as described, e.g., in GB Patent Specifications 874,430 and 848,671, perchlorinated aryl polyisocyanates as described, e.g., in E Auslegeschrift 1,157,601 (U.S. Pat. No. 3,277,138) and norbornane diisocyanates as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,492,330.
It is particularly preferred to use commercially available polyisocyanates such as 2,4- and/or 2,6-toluylene diisocyanate ("TDI"), polyphenyl-polymethylene polyisocyanates which may be prepared by the phosgenation of aniline-formaldehyde condensates ("crude MDI") and polyisocyanates containing urethane groups, allophanate groups or isocyanurate groups ("modified polyisocyanates"), especially those modified polyisocyanates which are derived rom 2,4- and/or 2,6-toluylene diisocyanate or from 4,4'-, 2,4'- and/or 2,2'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate. 2,4-toluylene diisocyanate is most preferred.
The polyisocyanates may be used in the form of a (concentrated) solution in a solvent which is insert towards polyisocyanates and immiscible with water, preferably an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon such as n-hexane, cyclohexane, isooctane, benzene, toluene or xylene.
Suitable long chain modifying components are those which have a polar character such as monovalent or polyvalent, relatively high molecular weight compounds containing from 1 to 8, preferably 2 to 4 most preferably 2 hydroxyl or amino groups and having a molecular weight of 400 to about 10,000, preferably about 800 to 6,000 and more preferably about 1,000 to 4,500.
Examples of preferred long chain compounds include a particular polyesters, polyethers, polythioethers, polyacetals, polycarbonates, polylactones and polyester amides containing at least two hydroxyl groups as well as polybutadiene compounds which are known for the preparation of cellular or non-cellular polyurethane foams. Polyethers and polyesters are particularly preferred.
Suitable polyethers are known and include those prepared, for example, by the polymerization of tetrahydrofuran or epoxides such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide, styrene oxide or epichlorohydrin or by the chemical addition of these epoxide compounds, preferably ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, either as mixtures or successively, to starting compounds containing reactive hydrogen atoms such as water, polyhydric alcohols, ammonia, polyvalent amines or sugars.
Examples of suitable hydroxyl polyesters for use as long chain compounds include the reaction products of polyhydric, preferably dihydric alcohols with the optional addition of trihydric or higher hydric alcohols, and polybasic, preferably dibasic polycarboxylic acids, their anhydrides or corresponding polycarboxylic acid esters of lower alcohols. The polycarboxylic acids may be aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic, araliphatic and/or heterocyclic and may be unsaturated or substituted, e.g., with halogen atoms.
Examples of such carboxylic acids and their derivatives include adipic acid, sebacic acid, azelaic acid, dodecane-diacid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, tetrahydrophthalic acid anhydride, tetrachlorophthalic acid anhydride, endomethylene tetrahydrophthalic acid anhydride, glutaric acid anhydride, maleic acid anhydride, fumaric acid, dimerized and trimerized unsaturated fatty acids, dimethyl terephthalate and bis-glycol terephthalate.
Examples of suitable polyhydric alcohols for preparing the hydroxyl polyesters include ethylene glycol, propane diol-(1,2) and -(1,3), butane diol-(1,4) and -(2,3), hexane diol-(1,6), decane diol-(1,10), neopentyl glycol, 1,4-bis-hydroxymethyl cyclohexane, 2-methyl-1,3-propane diol and glycerol. Polyesters of lactones such as ε-caprolactone or hydroxy carboxylic acids such as ω-hydroxycaproic acid may also be used, especially if they contain additional components such as diethylene glycol or 1,4-butane diol to reduce their high crystallinity.
Suitable polyacetals include the compounds which may be prepared from glycols and formaldehyde.
Suitable hydroxyl-containing polycarbonates are known and may be obtained, e.g., by the reaction of propane-1,3-diol, butane-1,4-diol, hexane-1,6-diol, di-, tri- or tetraethylene glycol and/or thiodiglycol with phosgene or diaryl carbonates such as diphenyl carbonate.
Polybutadienes containing hydroxyl end groups are also suitable for the purpose of this invention. They may be used in the form of polyhydroxyl compounds containing high molecular weight polyadducts, polycondensates or polymers in a finely dispersed or dissolved form.
Polyhydroxyl compounds of this type may be obtained by polyaddition reactions (e.g., reactions between polyisocyanates and amino functional compounds) or polycondensation reactions (e.g., between formaldehyde and phenols and/or amines) which take place in situ in the above mentioned compounds containing hydroxyl groups.
Polyhydroxyl compounds modified with vinyl polymers are also suitable for the process according to the invention, e.g., the polyhydroxyl compounds obtained by the polymerization of styrene and acrylonitrile in the presence of polyethers or polycarbonate polyols.
Further examples of the compounds which may be used are described in detail in High Polymers, Volume XVI, "Polyurethanes, Chemistry and Technology" by Saunders-Frisch, Interscience Publishers, New York, London, Volume I, 1962, pages 32 to 42 and pages 44 to 54; Volume VII, Vieweg-Hochtlen, Carl Hanser Verlag, Munich, 1966, pages 45 to 71; and in DE-A 2 854 284. Mixtures of the above mentioned polyhydroxyl compounds may, of course, also be used.
Suitable relatively high molecular weight polyamine compounds include those which contain aromatic amino groups and have molecular weights in the range described for relatively high molecular weight polyhydroxyl compounds. Polyamine compounds of the type may be obtained from the corresponding isocyanate prepolymers which are based on the above mentioned relatively high molecular weight polyhydroxyl compounds and excess amounts of aromatic diisocyanates by (preferably basic) hydrolysis. Examples of this process are set forth in DE-OS 2,948,419 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,774,263, which is herein incorporated by reference. This U.S. Patent also mentions other processes for the preparation of aromatic amino compounds having a relatively high molecular weight structure. Examples of suitable relatively high molecular weight polyamine compounds also include the amino polyethers obtained according to U.S. Pat. No. 2,888,439.
Examples of suitable relatively high molecular weight polyamine compounds containing aliphatic amino groups include those obtained by the reductive amination of polyoxyalkylene glycols with ammonia according to BE-P 634,741 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,654,370. Other relatively high molecular weight polyoxyalkylene polyamines may be prepared by the methods listed in "Jeffamine, Polyoxypropylene Amines" by Texas Chemical Co., 1978.
These modifying components may also be present in an isocyanate inert form, for example as polyether or polyesters in which the hydroxyl end groups are etherified, esterified with monocarboxylic acids, urethanized with monoisocyanates or as polyether amines carrying acetylated amino end groups. However, preferred isocyanate reactive components are incorporated in the polyurethane structure during the preparation or subsequent reaction of the urea group-containing polyisocyanates and therefore do not cause problems due to their migration or bleeding.
Preferred modifying compounds are polyethers or polyesters having molecular weight of 400 to about 10,000, preferably about 800 to 6,000. Polyethers having a molecular weight of about 1,000 to 4,500 and containing 0 to about 48% by weight, preferably about 5 to 25% by weight of ethylene oxide units are particularly preferred.
The lower limit of the amount of modifying agent which is used in accordance with the present invention is greater than 0, preferably greater than 2% by weight. The upper limit is less than 40, preferably less than 15 and most preferably less than 10% by weight. The percentages of the modifying agent are based on the total product, i.e., the combined weight of the starting polyisocyanate and the modifying agent.
The reaction of the modified starting polyisocyanate with water followed by isolation of the product is carried out by known processes such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,757,184 (herein incorporated by reference), DE 3,230,757 (U.S. Pat. No. 4,483,974, herein incorporated by reference), DE 3,438,527 (U.S. Pat. No. 4,680,367, herein incorporated by reference). These processes may generally be used without modification for the preparation of the modified polyisocyanates containing urea groups.
The modified polyisocyanates containing urea groups are similar to the unmodified products except for their lower isocyanate content, which is to be expected. The modified polyisocyanates obtained in accordance with the present invention have an isocyanate content of about 10 to 35% by weight, preferably about 15 to 30%, based on the weight of the modified polyisocyanate. Compared with the unmodified product, the modified polyisocyanates undergo coupling reactions more readily and have a higher reaction velocity with isocyanate reactive compounds.
The present invention will now be described in more detail in the following examples in which all parts are parts by weight unless otherwise indicated.
Preparation of starting polyisocyanates modified with long chain compounds.
The given quantity of modifying compound was added to the starting polyisocyanate under nitrogen at about 60� C. with stirring and the mixture was stirred at about 60� C. until there was not further reduction in the isocyanate content (generally 2 to 3 hours).
Table 1 provides a summary of the modified starting polyisocyanates prepared.

Preparation of urea group-containing polyisocyanates modified with long chain compounds by the "water process" from the modified starting polyisocyanates prepared in Example 1.
Aqueous phase:
3,500 ml of water
20 g of a solution of 28.9 g of triethanolamine,
15 g of glycine and 134.4 g of water and
12.5 g of dimethylbenzylamine
Organic phase: 750 g of the modified starting polyisocyanate from Example 1
The water (preferably demineralized water) was homogeneously mixed with the stabilizer solution and the catalyst in a glass beaker of suitable size at room temperature or with mild cooling (about 15� C.).
The starting polyisocyanate was then added and the diphasic mixture was vigorously mixed, either at the same time or subsequently, by means of an Ultraturrax Stirrer (Model T 45/N of IKA-Werk, Staufen of Breisgau with Generator 45 G 6), optionally with cooling (temperature of the mixture about 25� to 30� C.) at 10,000 rpm until a stable emulsion was obtained (generally about 3 minutes). The emulsion was then transferred into a reaction flask with round glass lid and continued to be stirred with a conventional paddle stirrer.
The quantity of CO2 which evolved as the reaction gradually began was monitored with a gas meter. When evolution of CO2 ceased, the reaction mixture was optionally neutralized (e.g. with 1N HCl) and the suspension obtained was suction filtered, washed with water and dried.
The yield was almost quantitative since virtually no unreacted starting isocyanate was left either in the filter cake or in the filtrate.
Table II provides a summary of the urea group-containing polyisocyanates prepared from the modified starting polyisocyanates of Example 1 by the water process.

The polyether amine was vigorously mixed, first with T 403 and then with the urea group-containing polyisocyanate, using a powerful stirrer with a toothed rim disc, and the mixture was then degasified in a water jet vacuum. The "thickening temperature" of the mixture was then determined by the method described in DOS 3 230 757, page 49, and sample plate measuring 20�20�0-3 cm was then produced in a metal casting mold (curing of the liquid mixture for 1 hour at 150� C.).
Table III shows the mechanical properties of the sample plates produced.
