The present invention relates to a process for preparing a poly(urea-urethane) (hereinafter referred as PUU) based on polydimethyl siloxane (hereinafter referred as PDMS). The PUU thus prepared can be used in anti-static electricity and electrostatic discharge (ESD) shielding in a high relative humidity environment.
Interference between electronic products and components mainly comes from themselves or outside. Their operations in certain degree are affected by interference, and thus it is important as to whether they themselves generate the electronic noises or have a shield to avoid the interference of foreign electronic noises. Noise interferences mainly can be classified into electrostatic discharge (ESD), electromagnetic interference (EMI), and radio frequency interference (RFI). These interferences are highly likely to cause a short circuit or a damage in an electronic component. As the density of the circuits in the electronic component increases, the interference problems become more severe. As a result, the electrostatic or electromagnetic interference shielding is required for more and more electronic products and components.
The uses of conductive polymeric composite materials mainly include four areas according to their conductivity for different resistance requirements, which are:
First is an anti-electrostatic material, second is an ESD shielding material, third is EMI/RFI shielding material, and fourth is a conductive connection material. In general, a polymeric material is a good insulator with a surface resistance of greater than 1012 Ω/cm2, and is very easy to have electrical charges agglomerated on the surface thereof. A direct modification to the polymer such as blending the polymer with polyaniline, or an addition of a conductive filler (e.g. conductive carbon black or metal powder) can increase the conductivity of the polymer to reduce the charge agglomeration or enhance transferring of electrical charges. The anti-electrostatic material has a lower rate of charge transfer, which can avoid the charge agglomeration and the occurrence of spark. As the rate of charge transfer is faster, it becomes a conductive polymeric composite material. Usually, a polymeric material is blended with a conductive filler or an antistatic agent to achieve antistatic or EMI shielding effects.
The conductance of an ordinary material, according to its surface resistance, can be classified into the following: high conductivity, static electricity dissipation, and antistatic. (1) A conductive material for EMI/RFI shielding needs to have a volume resistance of less than 1 Ω�cm, as well as be applicable in electrostatic protection at a high voltage. (2) A material with a surface resistance of 105-109 Ω/cm2 is defined as an static electricity dissipation material and is often used in the protection of short circuit for an electronic facility liable for static electricity agglomeration or electric arc formation. Its static electricity dissipation rate is slightly lower than that of a conductive material, and such a material is often used as a packaging material or an operation tool. (3) A material with a surface resistance of 109-1012 Ω/cm2 is an antistatic material, which provides an ESD protection or antistatic property at a low voltage, and is often used as a packaging material.
A human body and materials such as plastics, synthetic fibers, and glass fibers, are easy to generate high voltage static electricity, for example, a plastic material, during its use, production, and transportation processes, is easy to generate static electricity. The formation of static electricity can be prohibited by the addition of a conductive carbon black or an antistatic amine additive. An amine or other antistatic agent also plays other roles, such as a lubricant, and a mold release agent, etc.
There are two types of antistatic mechanisms: one is lubricating effect, i.e. reducing the frictional force; the other is the conduction of static charges or absorption of moisture, allowing the charges to disappear in the atmosphere, thereby achieving the antistatic effect. Generally speaking, the most popular additives of antistatic material are amines, amine salts, and polyvinyl alcohol. The main antistatic mechanism of these additives is absorbing moisture in the atmosphere, thereby achieving the antistatic effect.
Several defects of an antistatic agent must be taken into consideration, for examples, carbon black tends to release from the matrix material and form contamination due to wearing off, and an amine antistatic agent usually does not function well in a dry environment. Therefore, currently researches are being carried out on developing permanent type antistatic agents and temperature independent antistatic agents, which will not be significantly affected by moisture and temperature.
The objective of the present invention is to synthesize a poly(urea-urethane) based on polydimethyl siloxane (abbreviated as PDMS-based PUU) as a permanent type antistatic material. The synthesis method of the present invention uses a chain extender integrated into the synthesized material, which also has an effect equivalent to the conventional addition-type low molecular weight antistatic agent without the migration-to-surface problem of the conventional antistatic agent, and thus avoid a reduction on the antistatic effects.
A process for preparing a PDMS-based PUU according to the present invention comprises:
a) reacting polydimethyl siloxane (abbreviated as PDMS) having two terminal amine groups with an excessive amount of polyisocyanate in an organic solvent to form a solution containing poly(urea-ureathane) prepolymer; and
b) reacting the poly(urea-ureathane) prepolymer from step a) with a chain extender in the presence of a catalyst to obtain a solution containing poly(urea-ureathane).
Preferably, said chain extender is selected from a group consisting of ethylene glycol, glycerol, 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid, ethylene diamine, and a mixture thereof.
Preferably, the poly(urea-ureathane) prepared in step b) contains 25-50 wt % of a soft segment of PDMS.
Preferably, the invented process further comprises introducing the poly(urea-ureathane)-containing solution from step b) into an open mold, and evaporating the organic solvent contained therein to form a poly(urea-ureathane) film, wherein the material of the mold enables a water contact angle of an air-contact face of the poly(urea-ureathane) film being 20-30 degrees smaller than that of a mold-contact face of the poly(urea-ureathane) film. More preferably, the open mold is made of aluminum.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is an oligomer having a high thermal stability, good impact strength, and high biological compatibility. Since its main chain has a high density of —Si—O— bonding, PDMS has a very high softness and flexibility, and thus a very low Tg (about −120� C.). Poly(urea-urethane) (PUU) synthesized using PDMS as a main chain not only has a good ductility, but also a rather strong impact resistance and, as a result, has a wide range of applications.
Since PDMS has a rather good insulation property and hydrophobicity, its applications in the electronic industry are limited to certain fields. Therefore, the present invention further proposes means for enabling distribution difference of hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity of film to improve the electrical conductivity of a PDMS-based PUU and widen its applications in the electronic industry. That is the PDMS-based PUU film, being hydrophilic on one side and hydrophobic on the other side due to the different silicon contents thereof, can be produced by casting on templates of different materials. The hydrophilic film is used to absorb water molecules in atmosphere to greatly increase the electrical conductivity on the hydrophilic side of the film.
Preparation of PDMS-based PUU
Removal of Water from PDMS
PDMS was loaded in a 250 ml round bottom flask. The opening of the flask was connected to a vacuum system for maintaining vacuum in the flask. The flask was mounted in an oil bath and a heating plate was used to heat the PDMS to 120� C. After bubbles no longer floating out of the liquid surface, the heating was continued for a certain period of time until water beads on the wall near the opening of the flask were completely evaporated. After water beads were completely evaporated, the flask was removed from the vacuum system and a molecular sieve was added to further remove moisture. Each time before PDMS was used, it had been subjected to the removed of moisture again.
Preparation of Prepolymer of PUU by Using TDI and PDMS
After drying, PDMS was completely dissolved in THF at 50% w/v ratio in a four-neck flask. Subsequently, the flask was vacuumed and then filled with nitrogen so that the reaction system was in nitrogen. TDI (toluene diisocyanate) was diluted with THF in a 10% w/v ratio and the solution was loaded in a feeder. The flow rate of the TDI/THF solution was controlled so that the feeding of the solution to the flask was completed in one hour. The reaction mixture was heated under refluxing by controlling the temperature at 80� C., while mixing. Every hour, a capillary tube was used to take a sample from the reaction mixture, which was scanned by a FT-IR spectroscopy to monitor the progress of the reaction. During the course of the reaction, the stretching peak of the NCO group at 2270 cm−1 in the IR spectrum continued to decrease, and the bending peak of N—H at 1550 cm−1 and the stretching peaks of C═O (1640˜1660 cm−1 being urea, 1710˜1740 cm−1 being urethane) continued to being stronger and sharper. After the reaction had been carried out for about five hours (or more), the relative ratios of the characteristic absorption peaks of NCO group, the C═O groups and the N—H group were substantially unchanged. The reactions of the terminal groups (amine or hydroxyl) of PDMS with the NCO group were complete, thereby completing the preparation of the prepolymer of PUU.
Completion of Synthesis of PUU by Introducing a Glycol or Diamine Chain Extender into the Prepolymer of PUU
The resulting prepolymer was added with a series of different chain extenders and catalyst, stannous 2-ethylhexanoate, to increase its molecular weight. The reaction was carried out under refluxing at 80� C. in a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction was monitored by an IR spectrum, wherein a continuous decrease of the stretching peak of NCO group was observed until a complete disappearance of NCO group, indicating a completion of the reaction.
The reaction mixture was agitated at room temperature with a maximum rotation speed of the mixer for five hours or more, after the stretching peak of NCO disappeared in the IR spectrum, and the viscosity of the reaction mixture increased dramatically. Upon completion of the agitation, the resulting PUU solution was removed for storage or film casting.
Treatment of Chain Extenders Used in the Synthesis of PUU
Ethylene Glycol
The water removal of ethylene glycol was carried out similarly to the above-mentioned water removal process for PDMS. After the water removal, ethylene glycol was dissolved in THF with ten times of volume, which was added to the prepolymer of PUU slowly by using a feeding tube.
Ethylene Diamine
The water removal of ethylene diamine was carried out similarly to the above-mentioned water removal process for PDMS. After the water removal, ethylene amine was dissolved in THF with 100 times of volume, which was added to the prepolymer of PUU slowly by using a syringe pump or controlled feeding tube, so that the feeding time was controlled to be more than three hours. Since the reaction rate of ethylene diamine was rather fast, the catalyst was not used.
The water removal of glycerol was carried out similarly to the above-mentioned water removal process for PDMS. After the water removal, glycerol was dissolved in THF with ten times of volume, which was added to the prepolymer of PUU slowly by using a feeding tube.
2,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)propanic acid (abbreviated as DMPA)
A DMPA crystalline powder, after weighing, was dissolved at 30� C. in dimethylformamide (DMF) with 4 times of volume/weight ratio under agitation. Upon completion of dissolution, the bottle was washed with a small amount of THF to remove the DMPA/DMF solution remained on the wall of the bottle.
Film Casting of PUU
The synthesized PUU polymer solution was poured into a film mold of a metal template packed with an aluminum foil, and then placed in a ventilation closet for three hours without evacuation. Then, the evacuation system of the ventilation closet was turned on for about two hours. Thereafter, the film mold was placed in a vacuum oven for vacuuming at 90� C. for six hours to ensure a complete removal of the solvent in the film. In the case of DMPA was used as a chain extender, a vacuuming at 120� C. must be carried out for more than ten hours to ensure a complete removal of DMF solvent.
The oven-dried film was removed from the vacuum oven. The part adhered to the side frame was trimmed off, and the aluminum foil on the back of the film was peeled off.
Measurement of Molecular Weight (GPC)
The calculation of the solid content in the PUU solution was carried out. The original PUU solution was diluted with THF to 0.5% weight percentage solid according to the calculated solid content. The resulting diluted PUU solution was filtered and injected into a GPC for a testing of the relative molecular weight.
The group using DMPA as a chain extender, due to the presence of DMF in the solution, needed to be made into a film first and then dried completely. The film was used to prepare a 0.5% PUU/THF solution for GPC injection.
Test of Water Contact Angle
A PUU film specimen was cut into about 0.5 cm�0.5 cm. The film surface was evenly adhered to a sample machine. During each measurement, about 10−6 ml of water was dripped and a microscope was used to observe the interior angle of the contact angle between one side of the film and the surface of the water drop, and the readings were recorded. Each reading must be completed within 30 seconds after water was dripped on one side of the film. Furthermore, the time interval between the time a water drop was dripped on the film and the reading time must be fully consistent for each measurement in order to obtain accuracy results. The water contact angle was measured for both sides of the film.
Test of Surface Conductivity
The PUU film specimen was cut into a size of 1 cm2 and measured for its surface conductivity after drying at 110� C., at 70%, 85%, and 100% relative humidity.
Results of Molecular Weight
Tables 1 and 2 listed the number average molecular weight (Mn), weight average molecular weight (Mw) and polydispersity (PDI) of a PDMS-based PUU using ethylene glycol as a chain extender. Along with a variation in the proportion of the rigid segments, Mn is between about 7500 to about 11500, and PDI in this range was irregular.

Results of Contact Angle
In general, the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity on the surface of a material can be used as an index in the degree of moisture absorption. Measuring the water contact angle on the surface of a material is an important evaluation on the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity of the surface of a material. Due to the difference in the film-contact surfaces during film casting (e.g. air and aluminum foil), the distribution of the soft/rigid chain segments on the two sides of the film are different. This compositional difference causes a different hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity on the two sides of the PUU film. Table 3 shows the water contact angle on the two sides of the PDMS-based PUU film.
It can be seen from Table 3 that the differences between the two water contact angles of the aluminum-contact sides and air-contact sides are about 30 degrees. Furthermore, the water contact angle decreases along with an increase of the mole ratio of the chain extender/PDMS. Since the ratio of NCO/total OH or NH2 was kept at 1.1 during the reaction, the weight ratio of the rigid chain segment in the PUU also increases along with an increase in the amount of the chain extender, such that the surface hydrophilicity becomes better and the surface water contact angle greatly decreases.

Results of Surface Conductivity
The antistatic films prepared according to the above examples use the polar or ionized functional groups on the surface of the material to absorb moisture in atmosphere, and thus the surface conductivity thereof is greatly affected by the environmental humidity. The surface impedances of the PDMS-based PUU films prepared according to the above examples were measured after they had been subjected to a series of treatments at different relative humidities. In the case where the films was heated at 80� C. at a reduced pressure for 48 hours, the surface impedances thereof ranged from 100˜450�1012 Ω due to dryness. It is believed that the dry film surface is liable to accumulate electric charges, which are difficult to dissipate. In the case where the films were treated in a relative humidity of 70%, 85%, and 100% for 48 hours, the dissipation of surface charges is greatly improved due to the moisture absorption on the film surfaces. After a constant humidity and constant temperature treatment, the surface impedances of the films decrease for about five orders to about 109 Ω, i.e. the conductance increasing for about five orders of magnitude.

The Rural Areas
Montgomery County is home to a surprising number of rural areas. The forward-thinking 1964 General Plan focused growth in defined corridors emanating from the population centers in and around the Capital Beltway. Between those corridors, the General Plan called for wedges of low-density residential uses, open space and protected farmland.
The rural areas encompass the 93,000 acre Agricultural Reserve along with the larger rural communities of Damascus and Poolesville; small crossroad communities such as Beallsville, Sunshine and Dickerson; and areas with mixed open land and housing.
The Agricultural Reserve
In 1980, the Montgomery County Council made one of the most significant land-use decisions in county history by creating what we call the Agricultural Reserve. Heralded as one of the best examples of land conservation policies in the country, the Agricultural Reserve encompasses 93,000 acres – almost a third of the county's land resources – along the county's northern, western, and eastern borders.
The Agricultural Reserve and its accompanying Master Plan and zoning elements were designed to protect farmland and agriculture. Along with a sustained commitment to agriculture through the county's Agricultural Services Division, the combination of tools helps retain more than 500 farms that contribute millions of dollars to Montgomery County's annual economy. This is a notable achievement in an area so close to the nation's capital, where development pressure remains perpetual and intense.
Building Lot Termination (BLT) Program
Established by law in 2008, the Building Lot Termination Program (BLT)is a farmland preservation tool. A BLT easement restricts residential, commercial, industrial and other non-agricultural uses on a given property. The primary purpose of a BLT easement is to preserve agricultural land by reducing the fragmentation of farmland resulting from residential development.
Creating a BLT easement can provide additional compensation to a landowner who can demonstrate that his or her land is capable of residential development and agrees to forgo that development and terminate the approved waste disposal system associated with the lot.
Learn more about the program here.
How Can Residents Enjoy the Agricultural Reserve?
Although primarily a working agricultural landscape, the Agricultural Reserve offers county residents a plethora of activities. Check out the Reserve's many opportunities -- pick-your-own fruit farms, a winery, bike routes and pastoral scenic vistas -- in a resource guide and map, produced in collaboration with the Montgomery Countryside Alliance. Beyond that, the Reserve represents a historic landscape as well as a resource that protects our public water supply and provides access to green open spaces.
For more information on agricultural preservation programs, farmers markets, and the Cooperative Extension Service, visit Montgomery County's Agricultural Services Division, part of the Montgomery County Department of Economic Development.
How does the Agricultural Reserve protect farmland?
In 1980, after determining that there was a critical need to protect productive farmland in Montgomery County, the County Council and Planning Board adopted a Master Plan accompanied by a series of land use regulations and incentives designed to minimize inappropriate development, avoid the fragmentation of farmland by subdivision, strengthen agriculture and channel growth to down- county growth areas through rezoning with a transfer of development rights program.
The Master Plan was one of the first comprehensive plans for preservation of agriculture and rural open space that was linked to an established countywide growth management program. Its primary tools include:
- Rural Density Transfer Zone (RDT)
A zoning district created for the primary agricultural preservation areas within the Agricultural Reserve, with agriculture and agricultural businesses as its preferred uses. Residential development is limited to no more than one dwelling unit per 25 acres, although individual lots can be as small as one acre.
- Rural Zone and Rural Cluster Zone (R and RC)
The two other primary zoning districts within the Agricultural Reserve, the rural and rural cluster zones, are used in areas featuring a mix of farmland, open space and low-density housing. Residential development is limited to no more than one dwelling unit per 5 acres. In the rural cluster zone, individual lots can be as small as one acre.
- Transfer of Development Rights (TDR)
This is the primary mechanism to provide equity compensation to landowners in the RDT zone. TDR transfers residential development potential from the farmland preservation areas of the Agricultural Reserve into areas designated as better suited for growth.

Tournoi de Paris
|Number of teams
|Current champions
|Barcelona (1st title)
|Most successful club(s)
|PSG (7 titles)
|Official website
The Tournoi de Paris is an annual two-day pre-season football tournament hosted by Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain and held at the Parc des Princes. From 1957 to 1976, the tournament was held late in the season. Since 1977, it is played before the start of the season. The tournament is the equivalent to the Amsterdam Tournament and the Emirates Cup held by Ajax and Arsenal, respectively.
PSG have played in the tournament every year since 1975 and are the all-time record-holders, having won the competition seven times. Belgian outfit Anderlecht have three titles and are the most successful team other than the hosts to appear in the tournament. The current champions are FC Barcelona, finishing first in the standings ahead of PSG in the 2012 edition.
The Tournoi de Paris involves four teams including current hosts, Paris Saint-Germain. The tournament consists of four matches played at the Parc des Princes. The matches take place over two or three days in July or August. From 1957 to 1993, the tournament was played in knockout format. Since 2010, the tournament uses the group-stage format. A victory results in three points; a draw in one; and a defeat in none. If two teams finish with the same number of points, they are separated by: the highest number of goals scored, the number of cards received, or the timing of their first goal scored.
The Tournoi de Paris was held in Paris from 1957 to 1993, where the host and three invited clubs played over two days at the Parc des Princes. From 1957 to 1966 RCF Paris was the organizer of the tournament and its inauguration took place between 11 and 14 July 1957 to celebrate the club's 25th anniversary. It featured then hosts, RCF Paris, as well as German side Rot-Weiss Essen, Brazilian club Vasco da Gama, and reigning Spanish and European champions Real Madrid. Vasco da Gama went on to win the tournament after beating Real Madrid in the final. It was well attended with thousands filling the Parc des Princes across the two-day event. The Tournoi de Paris kept going for ten more seasons until 1966, when RCF Paris was administratively relegated to the second division due to their involvement in a financial crisis that engulfed the French game in the mid-1960s.
In an effort to relaunch professional football in Paris, Paris FC was founded in 1969. The objective of the club was to be playing first division football by 1970. An attempted merger with CS Sedan was refused and Paris FC finally merged with the Stade Saint-Germain to create Paris Saint-Germain Football Club. In 1972, the two clubs went separate ways after pressure from the Mayor's office which refused to support a non-Paris team. Finally after the bitter split, Paris FC kept their first division status and all the professional players while PSG were relegated to the third division with all the amateur players. During the 1973-74 pre-season, Paris FC took over the 1973 edition of the Tournoi de Paris, the only one they organized. The following season, PSG gained promotion to the first division while Paris FC suffered relegation. A year later, in 1975, Paris Saint-Germain took over the tournament and invited Spanish side Valencia, Brazilian club Fluminense, and Portuguese outfit Sporting CP. Valencia went on to win the tournament after narrowly beating PSG in the final. In 1993, after an uninterrupted 18-year spell, the Tournoi de Paris was abandoned by Canal +, PSG's new shareholders, because of the club's financial deficit. During this period, Paris Saint-Germain won the tournament seven times, becoming the club with most titles.
On 24 December 2009, PSG President Robin Leproux announced his intentions of reviving the Tournoi de Paris for July 2010 on the occasion of the club's 40th anniversary. With the development of products and audiovisual projects these activities will inject around 15 to 20 million euros to the club.[1] On 3 May 2010, the Tournoi de Paris was confirmed for the month of July.[2] After 17 years of absence, France's most prestigious tournament was back at the Parc des Princes. The Tournoi de Paris was first held in 1957 and the 2010 edition celebrated its 30th anniversary. Between 1975 and 1993, Paris Saint-Germain won the tournament seven times, becoming the club with most titles. In 1993, after an uninterrupted 18-year spell, the tournament was abandoned by Canal +, PSG's new shareholders, because of the club's financial deficit. The last champions were PSG defeating Auxerre in the 1993 edition final.[3] The 2010 edition took place between 31 July and 1 August, with Italian side Roma, replacing Juventus,[4] Portuguese club Porto and French outfit Girondins de Bordeaux visiting the Parc des Princes as PSG decided to resurrect the Tournoi de Paris for their 40th birthday.[5] On the occasion of the Tournoi de Paris, PSG presented their official anthem and mascot. The lyrics of "Go West" were rewritten following the suggestions made by the fans in PSG's website and was released as the official anthem before every match at the Parc des Princes. Meanwhile, Germain, a lynx, was presented as the new mascot of PSG.[6]
After a draw between Bordeaux and Roma, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Porto in a match punctuated by the numerous chances created by both sides. The French capital won in extremis against the Portuguese thanks to a goal from Sammy Traoré at the end of regular time and took the first place in the standings.[7] Just like against Porto, "Les Parisiens" made the difference at the end of the encounter as Guillaume Hoarau equalized Roma's lead deep in stoppage time and allowed PSG to finish off their pre-season without having lost a single match.[8] PSG's goal angered Roma's players who surrounded French referee Stéphane Lannoy. Roma coach Claudio Ranieri also walked onto the field to complain that too much injury time had been played when Hoarau scored. Earlier, Michaël Ciani scored off a free kick as Bordeaux came from behind against Porto to win the Tournoi de Paris with four points - the same total as PSG but "Les Girondins" scored one more goal.[9]

Manny Pacquiao
"No matter what Bradley says I still have the hunger to win. I had a great camp in the Philippines. No distractions at all. We are ready to step it up over the next four weeks at Wild Card. This is a big fight for me. I can't wait for June 9."
Freddie Roach
"Maybe Bradley should come over to the Wild Card and see how hard Manny
works in the ring. No one works harder - no one - and Manny is not ready to give up his
throne. Manny is so serious. He gave up playing basketball and that means a lot to him. He is a serious, dedicated athlete going into a very big fight. Now we do our finishing training at the Wild Card. I promise you Manny will shoot the works when he faces Bradley."
Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KOs), boxing's only eight-division world champion and the lone congressional representative from the Sarangani province in the Philippines, will begin his four-week U.S. training camp, on Monday, May 7, at Roach's Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, Calif. Pacman will be defending his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight championship crown against undefeated WBO junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (28-0, 12 KOs), of Palm Springs, Calif.
The Pacquiao vs. Bradley welterweight championship collision will take place Saturday, June 9, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, in Las Vegas, Nev., and will be produced and distributed Live by HBO Pay-Per-View®, beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

Agencies are providing real-time bus information and mobile apps, as well as partnering with ride-, car- and bike-sharing groups to help customers better plan multimodal trips.
The transportation system of metropolitan New York was significantly impacted by Superstorm Sandy — including New York City subway and Amtrak rail tunnels damaged by flooding — and the after effects are still being addressed.
Since voters green-lit the project by approving its major funding source in 2012, some $1.7 billion in economic development has initiated around the 2.2-mile streetcar line.
The new system will be equipped with high-performance, multiple-unit electric trains that operate from overhead catenary.
The 91/Perris Valley Line is expected to replace thousands of vehicle trips along I-215 as well as I-15 and connecting State Route 91 and SR 60.
As one of Europe's largest construction projects, Crossrail will transform rail transport in London, increasing rail capacity in central London by 10%, supporting regeneration and cutting journey times across the capital.
Automated and connected vehicle technology has the potential to change all aspects of mobility and disrupt both public and private transportation as we know it. As Google, Uber, the automobile industry, and other organizations continue to make rapid technological advances in connected and automated vehicle technology, it is vital that public transit agencies consider these changes in their strategic planning.
Establishing a function-first facility that then integrates passive design strategies can lead to more operationally and energy efficient transit facilities.
If well managed, the political, public and stakeholder engagement process — where all of the key people involved are vested in the vision and goals of the project — can form the groundwork for timely project delivery.
McCall values her position with the city because of the opportunity it affords her to positively impact the lives of the average Clevelander.
A record number of such measures are on ballots across the country, reflecting an increased interest in meeting the growing demand for public transportation by local and state action.
With a range of vehicles, which includes sedans, minibuses, party buses, limousines and motorcoaches, Kaser explains that his company is diversified enough to tackle any type of work.
With its limited budget, too few vehicles and aging infrastructure, PRITA faced some serious challenges.
Realizing it can be expensive for fleet operations to upgrade their entire system at once, suppliers are providing a variety of options to help them reap the benefits of high-definition cameras and new DVR technology in a cost-effective manner.
Lower cost is one of the chief reasons agencies should consider open source, which unlike proprietary licensed software, is a base platform that any agency can use free of charge and adapt to meet its specific needs.
Bonds' efforts on behalf of the industry includes outreach to educate elected officials on the need for a balanced approach to funding our nation's transportation infrastructure.
Learn's main focus is ensuring that all buses are kept up to FTA standards, as well as employee and public safety, which she considers to be her biggest responsibility.
Sue Dreier began her transit career on the ground floor as a part-time bus operator for Lane Transit District (LTD) in 1990 in Eugene, Ore., as she went back to school to earn her BA in public administration while also raising her two daughters.
Expanding into other forms of transportation services, such as shuttle, scheduled or corporate work, helps create new revenue streams and builds a more balanced business overall.

Remote to change tracks on iPhone?
I've been looking for a way to change tracks on my phone without having to take off my gloves or take it out of my pocket every time. I found this: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...remote-control
I think it would work because it's waterproof and also has a wristband. I like that I could also use it on my bike.
Any other solutions?
Clever attempt.
I give you a 9/10 on the effort. Much better than the typical spammer.
What's wrong with using the iphone supplied earphone with remote on it?
I can play songs , switch tracks forward and backwards, take a picture, increase/decrease volume.
Yeah Outdoor Tech already makes one of these.

The Box: Solitary Confinement Takes Center Stage
by: Sarah Asch on August 9th, 2016 | No Comments »
A white supremacist with a swastika tattooed above his left eye addresses the audience: "People without hope are fucking dangerous."
One of six characters in The Box, a play that debuted at Z Space theater in San Francisco in July, Jake Juchau (played by Clive Worsley) presents one image of life in long-term solitary confinement. The play was written by Sarah Shourd, an American journalist who spent 410 days in solitary in Iran after being accused of espionage, and then returned to the U.S. and began conducting research about the domestic uses of solitary confinement.
"Years of research went into this play," Shourd notes in the playbill. "I traveled to visit prisoners in solitary confinement in 13 facilities across the country." Shourd also explains that the six prisoners in her play are fictional combinations of the real life stories she gathered. "The characters in The Box won't allow us to sit comfortably in our own skins," Shourd writes. "They force us to ask questions: Why are we torturing people in lieu of rehabilitation? What are we going to do about the violence plaguing our society? How does change happen? How do we connect our own suffering to something larger?"

- - Why did Chuck Liddell never get a title shot against Tito? (http://www.mmaforum.com/ufc/66315-why-did-chuck-liddell-never-get-title-shot-against-tito.html)
Why did Chuck Liddell never get a title shot against Tito?
Tito defended his title 5 times against some nobodies and then ken shamrock, why was Chuck never given a shot against despite being more than qualified and also able of doing Dana a favor by beating titos brains out?
Tito ducked him.
2 Attachment(s)
Tito stated they were great friends, and he didn't want to 'do damage' on his friend. He also said he never ducked Chuck, and that they had a long standing agreement never to fight.
Chuck disagree's with it and says they were aquaintances at best and no agreement existed.
Watch UFC 47, commentary and 'hype' explain alot of it.
And also in Chuck's book he goes into some detail about how Tito ducked him. Especially after they sparred and Chuck proceeded to beat his ass. Needless to say Tito didn't like that. I believe Chuck over Tito's egotistical ass any day... :thumbsup:
We should be grateful. The world was never meant to see Tito's head all bulgy and misshapen from a brutal Chuck beatdown.
According to Chuck's book Dana said he was next in line, but wanted him to wait for Tito to fight Ken Shamrock so he'd be next in line. Chuck didn't want to wait around so he fought Babalu at the same PPV as the Tito Ken fight and this was supposed to lead into Tito vs. Chuck, but Tito kept putting it off, so to stay fresh Chuck accepted a fight against Couture, and Couture won, which pushed Chuck out of the title picture. Couture went on to beat Tito to win the title, then Chuck went on to beat Overeem and lose to Rampage. Then Tito started to call Chuck out and finally they fought.

Health & Consumer Voice - September/October - 2012 Edition
Flavouring substances in food will become even safer and more transparent following the adoption of new rules by the European Commission on 1 October.
They include a list of over 2 100 authorised food flavouring substances as well as another 400 substances that are currently being evaluated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). These may remain on the market until risk assessment and risk management is concluded.
The list will apply from 22 April 2013, after which date all other flavouring substances will be banned. It will be available in a public, on-line database that will allow consumers, food businesses and national food authorities to easily identify which substances are authorised.
A flavouring substance may only be authorised if it:
Small claims procedure:
Commissioner Dalli referred to the decision as a "landmark adoption" that "follows years of efforts to strengthen food safety in the EU."
Flavouring substances have a long history of safe use in a wide variety of foods including drinks, sweets, cereals, cakes and yoghurts.

SANTA FE (AP) -The 450 nurses and technical workers of St. Vincent Hospital won a three-year contract with a 12 percent pay raise in the first year and 6 percent raises in each ensuing year.
"It really is a new day for St. Vincent Hospital," said Delma DeLora, president of Local 1199, The National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees.
The old contract expires Oct. 31.
The new one will give a newly hired registered nurse at least $15.94 an hour, or roughly $1.50 an hour higher than the regional average, said Lisa Frye, St. Vincent human resources director.
Hospital officials said they believe it will mean patient satisfaction as well.
"Our aim is to develop a reputation of having the best patient care in the state. I think this agreement will underpin that intention," said hospital CEO Dr. John Lucas.

Manchester United finally opened their 2012-13 Premier League account as they limped to a 3-2 win over Fulham at Old Trafford.
Damien Duff opened the scoring for the Cottagers before Robin van Persie scored sensationally on his home debut, while Shinji Kagawa added a goal also on his Old Trafford unveiling to give United a 2-1 lead.
Rafael made it 3-1 prior to half-time, but United wobbled in the second-half thanks to a defensive mix-up between David De Gea and Nemanja Vidic which gave Fulham a lifeline.
The Red Devils held on, however, looking good in attack but poor in defence. Here are the player ratings for the home side.

Goat Milk?
by Peter
by Peter
Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on September 29, 2012.
Our dream is to bring awareness to the hard working dairy goats throughout the nation and the world.
This project's funding goal was not reached on September 29, 2012.
Once upon a time there was a boy. That boy became a man. That man loved goats. Not like you're thinking though, so you can stop those perverted thoughts right now. He really loved goat milk, and all of the things that could be made with it. Including:
Bucheron, Chabis, Clochette, Couronne Lochoise, Crottin de Chavignol, Pélardon, Picodon, Pouligny Saint-Pierre, Rocamadour,Sainte-Maure de Touraine, Chabichou du Poitou, Valençay, and Pyramide.
Not to mention the various soaps and lip balms that can be made from this wondermilk.
The man realized that his love of goat dairy was not shared by the rest of the world, and this made him very sad. So he set out to create a campaign to raise awareness for hard working dairy goats everywhere. The fruits of his labor can be seen here, in this awesome t-shirt:
So won't you support alternative dairy by purchasing a $20 t-shirt? Let everyone know how much you care about our quadrapedal cloven hooved friends, and they will thank you by producing more of their delicious and nutritious milky goodness.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

Container technology has become the standard, and Stratus5 is the most advanced production ready business automation solution.
The Problem
Traditional cloud infrastructure scales poorly increasing costs and overhead. Meanwhile, it suffers from poor security, data consolidation, and lack of data versatility and portability between cloud providers.
Current container management systems do not offer direct to consumer automation, operations automation (backups, upgrades), or product monetization (billing, resellers).
The Solution: Stratus5 Cloudware
Stratus5 automates deployment, delivery and monetization of Docker containers improving efficiency, and reducing costs.
Stratus5 is one of the most secure Docker container platforms, and also supports KVM, Xen, and other container types.
Stratus5 automates backups, encryption, data migration, and geo-distribution while remaining cloud agnostic so you can easily migrate between cloud providers.

Stratus5 has already deployed over 1+ million containers in our secure virtual network environment.
Our Products

Frequently Asked Questions
While container technology such as Docker is new, Stratus5 isn't. We were founded in 2008, and have been on the forefront of container technology for over half a decade. This is why we have three major product lines that all work seamlessly together while our competitors are still trying to solve problems we solved years ago. Our platforms serve a wide range of business applications from banking, to web apps, to VOIP, to any application you can run on a server.
It may come as a surprise to many people that our solutions are fully production ready, and has already been battle tested at an enterprise level with our existing customers. In fact, we've been deploying over 400 containers per day for well over a year now, and our system is fully scalable into the millions.

Is your container solution secure?
What kind of clients do you work with?
How much does it cost?

This will smash your legs. I'd be impressed if anyone could do all 3 sets properly and for the allocated time.

This is sort of the way I feel. I'm a cyclist and IMO, the best way to make my body tougher (even if it's just to benefit sprints/time trials etc) is to stay on the bike for a long time. I just get accustomed to using my legs non-stop for hours. I get accustomed to the pain and so little sprints and things can't bother me.
But to be honest my main problem with this new conditioning coach is his pseudo-scientific view of nutrition. He's very much a new-wave nutritionist and speaks loads of **** about the subject, and of course he impresses people who don't know anything about it because he sounds ahead of the curve.

In theory, you don't really need roadwork. Controversial, yes but he isn't training to be a better runner after all.
More rounds, higher intensity, some strength training. Something that gets the heart rate up would be fine. In theory.

Old school roadwork doesn't really help stamina alone. Interval training and doing sprints is way better. Hopkins used roadwork to keep his weight down. When preparing to move to light heavy he cut down massively on the road work. I kind of agree with the conditioning coach. Bursts of high-intensity work interspersed with periods of low-intensity work is the way to go.
You can't blame Khan's stamina on his coach alone. There are many factors to consider here.
However, "detox" is BS.

"Well, I've kind of just grown up a Vandal," said Davis. "I wouldn't know anything else but to be a Vandal, I guess. I couldn't go anywhere and be as passionate about the school."
Brittnay said she's excited to follow in her parent's footsteps, straight to the University of Idaho. And it's safe to say that she's well prepared.
"Well, I try to get straight A's, and so I put in as much effort as it's going to take to get what I want," said Davis.
Brittnay's a motivated student and athlete. She plays varsity basketball and soccer.
"For me, being a part of a team, that's the most important part," said Davis. "Not just the sport, but being a part of that big family."
Brittnay also finds time to mentor a local second-grader, and participate in Business Professionals of America.
"Well it's hard," said Davis. "But I just try to make time for everything and make sure everything feels like it's got all the attention it needs."
