- Bhagwant Mann: Didn't breach security, even TV channels broadcast from Parliament
A Bench of Justices KS Radhakrishnan and JS Khehar gave four weeks to Sahara to explain why contempt action should not be initiated against it while admitting a contempt plea by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) against non-compliance by the group on many counts, including their failure to submit documents relating to the refund to investors and genuineness of their identities.
Besides the two companies, Sahara India Real Estate Corporation (now known as Sahara Commodity Services Corporation Ltd) and Sahara Housing Investment Corporation, the contempt petition by the Sebi has also named Sahara's managing director Subrata Roy and three other directors as parties.
During the proceeding, the apex court also censured Sebi for not taking sufficient actions against the group as per its August 31, 2012 order, which had asked it to attach properties and freeze bank accounts of the companies on account of any lapses in complying with the verdict.
"Are you waiting for the outcome of this contempt proceeding? What action have you taken after our judgement? Practically, you have done nothing. The judgment tells you what can you do against them but you have not done anything. So now tell us who is committing contempt, you or Sahara?" questioned the court. However, Sebi counsel Pratap Venugopal told the Bench that the regulator has issued notice to the companies, started proceedings to freeze their accounts and also approached a civil court in Mumbai for execution proceedings since the Sebi Act did not give them any more powers.
"You have to execute our order. Who else will execute our orders? What will be the consequences of not following our directions are already provided in our judgment... that gives you the powers," asserted the Bench.
While issuing the notice, the court made it clear that the proceedings pending before it on contempt plea against the companies would not come in the way of Sebi taking action against the group.

Dish Network/EchoStar Complaint
New Customers Only
I was a loyal Dish customer for 5 years until I needed my system repaired. Due to the more important business of new instalations I was required to wait one week for a repairman to visit. At the end of the four hour window provided for the visit I had to contact Dish to find out if the repairman was going to make the scheduled appointment. I was informed that the repairman called in sick that day. Howver, I was left wait without a notification from Dish of the situation. A new appointment could not be made for another seven days. Guess what, the repairman never arrived for that appointment either. I cancelled my subscription with Dish believing it would be much easier and quicker to open a new account since new instalations get first priority. I was told that since I was a prior Dish subscriber that I could not get a priority new account instalation. In fact I would need to pay a penalty and fee for reopening my account. In addition, I was not allowed to receive new customer deals and promotions. I told Dish to shove it and contacted DirectTV and could not be happier. Better service, price, and picture. Wish I would have dumped Dish sooner.
Understand that old, reliable, and loyal customers are just as, and even more important than new customers.

Square, in geometry, a plane figure with four equal sides and four right (90°) angles. A square is a special kind of rectangle (an equilateral one) and a special kind of parallelogram (an equilateral and equiangular one). A square has four axes of symmetry, and its two finite diagonals (as with any rectangle) are equal. Bisection of a square by a diagonal results in two right triangles. If the length of the side of a square is s, then the area of the square is s2, or "s squared." From this relation is derived the algebraic use of the term square, which denotes the product that results from multiplying any algebraic expression by itself.
The science of structure, order, and relation that has evolved from elemental practices of counting, measuring, and describing the shapes of objects. It deals with logical reasoning...

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.1 /5 from 527 reviews
I was in LA for business and usually stay at another local hotel or two. Since it was just one night, and the hotel was very moderately priced for this particular night, I decided to give it a try. The room as comfy and clean. The service was very good. I did not eat any meals here or have any drinks. The location is Santa Monica is also very good. There were some signs of wear and tear. Nothing significant, but noticeable. While I did not use the pool, I checked it out. I was somewhat disappointed in the size and location of the pool. Small and tucked away, like it was practically in an open air basement. Finally, I really wanted to have a few cocktails watching the sunset over the beach. The hotel did not have any such restaurant or location, which surprised me with its fantastic location. I went to a hotel next door to do so.
Room was over priced for the size and lack of view. Bed was comfortable and room very clean just overpriced
My stay at the hotel cost as much as a five star hotel but unfortunately the hotel only delivered two star accomodations. I had no problems with the service--the staff was great all around. The problem is that the hotel is way past due for refurbishing--the place generally looks like it is still int he late 1980's / early 1990's. My room was comfortable but it was very tired. In general, it had the décor and feel of an old residence inn.
The hotel was 3 minute walk to the Santa Monica Pier and a 20 minute walk to Venice. It was great location to the Promenade, didn't need to take your car out.
Upon arriving the vallet was unaccomodating and demanding One of the elevators did not work and the other one had issues as well Not the way I wanted to start my stay. My husband had been sick and required assistance and the staff did assist properly. The manager was kind enough to comp us a meal for the rough start to our stay. It's a pretty hotel but with so many other choices and concidering how peeved I was to the start of our stay, I will most likely look to another place to visit next time in town

The Sony CyberShot H3 super zoom camera is equipped with a built-in slide show function so you can view photos, complete with transitions choreographed to your choice of programmed music clips or by adding your own. When the camera is connected to a new Sony BRAVIA television, photos are optimized for television viewing with Sony's new "Photo TV HD" mode. This mode brings the look of actual printed photography to the television set, reproducing high-quality digital photos by fine-tuning image parameters, like sharpness, gradation and color specifically for photographs.
Sony CyberShot H3 - Carl Zeiss 10x optical zoom lens
The Sony CyberShot H3 model includes a variety of features to ensure parents can document their kids' activities, from football games to dance recitals and spelling bees. To begin, the new camera features a powerful Carl Zeiss 10x optical zoom lens, which makes it ideal for capturing every expression when shooting little stars from the audience. It also includes a long-range flash that lights up subjects farther from the camera. For group shots, moms and dads will appreciate the model's face detection technology. It identifies up to eight faces in the camera's 2.5-inch LCD screen, and automatically adjusts for correctly exposed, sharp photos.
Sony H3 - Super Steady Shot
To capture every touchdown, the high-zoom camera also includes Sony's advanced sports shooting mode, which combines high shutter speed shooting and intelligent continuous auto-focusing. The camera will quickly focus on fast-moving subjects by predicting where they will be in the frame. This technology also helps to reduce shutter lag - the time it takes for the camera to focus and shoot. To reduce chances of blurry photos, the Sony CyberShot H3 model incorporates Super Steady Shot optical image stabilization that minimizes blur caused by camera shake. This is an important feature when shooting at slow shutter speeds at full zoom. The unit's high sensitivity (up to ISO 3200) will also capture well-exposed, natural-looking photos, even in challenging low-light conditions.

This application is a U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/243,890, filed Oct. 27, 2000, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/257,422, filed Dec. 20, 2000, all of which are hereby incorporated herein in their entirety.
The present invention relates to particles, such as enzyme granules, and the like. In particular, the present invention relates to coatings for such particles.
Many laundry detergents contain boron-containing compounds such as boric acid, sodium borate or sodium perborate. Sodium borate, also known as borax, is used as a builder or calcium sequestrant, improving detergency properties in hard water. Borate buffers the detergent at around pH 9-11. It also acts to stabilize pigment soil and stabilize certain enzymes such as proteases and amylases. Sodium perborate, in either the monohydrate or tetrahydrate form, is added in some detergents as a peroxygen bleach. Either alone or in combination with a bleach activator such as TAED or NOBS, perborate generates hydrogen peroxide in situ when diluted into the water of a washing machine, and the hydrogen peroxide is effective in bleaching certain oxidizable stains such as protein-based stains.
Enzymes are useful additives to laundry detergents for their efficacy in hydrolyzing and removing many different types of stains. For example, proteases, amylases and lipases remove stains based on protein, starch, and triglyceride oils. Some enzymes are useful for their benefits in modifying or restoring fabric properties. For example, cellulases can be used to remove frayed or pilled cellulose fibers to restore the color, texture and appearance of cotton-based fabrics. To achieve these benefits in powdered laundry detergents, the enzymes must be added in a granulated form. These granules or particles typically require a strong outer coating of low permeability to serve as a barrier during storage in the detergent against heat, humidity, and diffusible oxidants, such as peroxygen bleaches and hydrogen peroxide. Further, a tough or flexible outer coating can help to increase the mechanical strength and attrition-resistance of the enzyme granule. This is important in reducing the tendency of the granule to produce sensitizing protein dusts upon handling, for example in the production line of a detergent manufacturing plant. Sensitizing dusts have been known to induce allergic responses in detergent factory workers, and effective enzyme granule coatings are a principal means of reducing the levels of airborne enzyme dusts and aerosols in detergent factories.
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has proven to be a very effective coating for detergent enzyme granules. Examples of the use of PVA in enzyme granule coatings can be found, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,324,649. PVA is particularly useful because it simultaneously provides a coating with reduced permeability to moisture and oxidants, a strong and attrition-resistant coating, and a coating, which is readily soluble in water and detergent solutions in both cold and hot water. It is also sufficiently water soluble that it can readily be prepared in coating solutions, and coated onto enzyme-containing granules at reasonable rates, for example in fluidized bed spray-coaters. Such a coating process is described in aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 5,324,649. PVA is available in a wide range of molecular weights and degrees of hydrolysis, allowing one skilled in the art to control the relative solubility and physical properties of the polymer coating, which can be optimized to balance factors such as the ease of coating, dissolution rate of the granule, attrition resistance of the granule, and permeability of the granule to moisture and oxidants. PVA is also readily plasticized with water, glycerol, triethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, formamide, and triethanolamine acetate, and other polyhydric compounds, and is compatible with pigments and fillers such as titanium dioxide, talc, and calcium carbonate, and dyes.
One of the unfortunate properties of PVA, however, is its tendency to become crosslinked by a number of chemical species, including sodium borate, sodium perborate, aldehydes, and certain dyes (e.g., Protamine, Mobay Corp.). Borates, perborates and other boron-containing compounds form adducts with the vicinal hydroxyl groups of PVA at alkaline pH's, resulting in water-insoluble complexes or gels. This insolubility of the borate-PVA gels is reversible upon a shift towards more acidic pH. In addition, agitation or higher temperatures can also prevent the formation of an insoluble gel layer since dissolution and dilution of the PVA is more rapid than crosslinking of PVA under these conditions. Unfortunately, in many laundry applications, the presence of borate and the washing conditions result in the insolubilization of any PVA present in the coating or interior of enzyme granules. The PVA coating typically contains a pigment or filler such as titanium dioxide or talc, and once the coating is gelled or insolubilized, it remains as a visible shell or residue, which attaches to clothing due to its gummy nature when hydrated. These shells persist as visible residue on clothing, which is undesirable to consumers.
The crosslinking or gelation of PVA-coated granules frequently makes them unacceptable for use in borate- or perborate-containing detergents. To some extent, the degree of crosslinking can be modified by the addition into the coating of fillers or extenders, such as talc, clay, starch or maltodextrin. Blending PVA with other substances to create soluble films or pouches is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,828,744 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,626,372. However, the PVA will still tend to cross-link even at levels as low as 10% w/w in the coating, and such a drastic reduction of PVA in the coating tends to obviate its barrier and mechanical strength properties. U.S. Pat. No. RE34,988 describes a modified PVA, dissolvable pouch containing enzymes; however, pouches typically do not provide uniform enzyme release.
Thus there is a need in the art for a particle coating having a vinyl polymer or copolymer composition sufficient to provide barrier and tensile strength properties without significant crosslinking or gelation of the vinyl polymer or copolymer in the presence of chemicals such as sodium borate, sodium perborate and other boron containing compounds.
The present invention provides a particle having a coating material comprising a substituted vinyl polymer or copolymer thereby providing low reactivity with sodium borate, sodium perborate and other boron-containing compounds while maintaining acceptable barrier, solubility and mechanical strength properties. The invention further comprises cleaning and detergent products containing sodium borate, sodium perborate or other boron-containing compounds and the particle with the substituted vinyl polymer or copolymer coating material.
In a preferred embodiment the coating material may be polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with or without other additions such as fillers, extenders, plasticizers, pigments, dyes and the like. In this embodiment, the substitution of variable percentages of the hydroxyl or alcohol groups of the PVA is achieved using hydrophilic organic acids, amines, thiol moieties, or a combination of substitution agents. Preferred solubility of the materials utilized to make the substitution is preferably at least 100 grams per 100 ml of distilled water at 25 degrees C.
In a preferred embodiment the PVA is substituted with about 1-10% carboxylic acid. In another preferred embodiment the PVA is substituted with about 1-10% of a combination of carboxylic and sulfonic acid.
In a preferred embodiment the substituted PVA surrounds a water soluble or dispersible core with one or more enzymes. In another preferred embodiment a detergent composition comprises an enzyme particle coated with the substituted PVA and a borate compound.
The substituted PVA coatings of the present invention exhibit good barrier and mechanical strength properties without significant crosslinking or gelation with borate compounds thereby providing easily manufactured granules that may be tailored to provide selectable properties, such as dissolution rates, for applications such as detergents and other cleaning compounds.
Surprisingly, it has been found that particles or granules of the present invention coated with a material comprised of a substituted vinyl polymer or copolymer, preferable polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) exhibit low reactivity with sodium borate, sodium perborate and other boron-containing compounds. The invention provides particles or granules coated with such a substituted coating material. In one embodiment, the particle is a coated enzyme granule.
The preferred PVA is defined as a homopolymer or copolymer in which vinyl acetate is a starting monomer unit and in which most or all (70-100%) of the acetate moieties are subsequently hydrolyzed to alcohol moieties. Other vinyl polymers that may be useful in the present invention include, but are not limited to, polyvinyl acetate and polyvinyl pyrrolidone. Copolymers such as PVA-methylmethacrylate copolymer may also be used in the present invention. PVA is commercially available in a wide range of molecular weights, viscosities and varying degrees of hydrolysis from the polyvinyl acetate precursor.
It has been found by this invention that certain modifications can be made to the PVA molecule which significantly reduce or eliminate its tendency to be gelled by boron compounds such as borate and perborate, while leaving largely intact its beneficial properties as a coating for enzyme granules, such as its barrier properties, mechanical strength, and water solubility. Many modifications of PVA cited in the literature have the effect of making it less water soluble or more resistant to water, which would be undesirable for polymer used in enzyme granule coatings. Other modifications of PVA are not true modifications of PVA, but rather involve syntheses of novel polymers, such as copolymers of vinyl monomers and other monomers such as acrylic or styrene groups.
In this invention, generally the side chain alcohol or hydroxyl groups of the PVA are at least partially substituted by hydrophilic moieties, although substitutions also may occur at other locations. The term hydrophilic, in this context, is meant to describe an acid, amine, or thiol that has solubility in water of at least 100 grams per 100 mls of distilled water. Substitution is accomplished by reacting the PVA with hydrophilic acids, amines or thiols. For example, the PVA can be reacted with one of the class of carboxylic acids (for example, formic acetic, succinic, ascorbic, —COOH, and so on) to produce a carboxylated PVA, by methacryl amide to form a methacrylamido-PVA, by sulfonic or sulfuric acid to produce a sulfonated PVA, or with thiols to form a sulfhydryl-PVA. Preferred carboxylic acids are listed in Table 1, although those skilled in the art will recognize that other carboxylic acids may be utilized and the invention is not limited to those acids in Table 1. Additionally, the PVA may be reacted with a combination of sulfonate, or sulfate and carboxylate compounds to form PVA having both sulfonated and carboxylated groups Preferred concentrations of substitution moieties are between about 1 to 10%, and more preferred between about 5 to 10%. It will be recognized by those skilled in the art that the percentage of substitution moieties selected for a coating of a particle or granule properties depends upon a desired application property (e.g. dissolution rate) for the coated particle or granule.
The resulting carboxylated, sulfonated, amidated or thiolated PVA typically has better water solubility than the unsubstituted precursor, but reduced or a negligible tendency to become crosslinked by boron compounds such as borate or perborate. The tendency of granule coatings to become insolublized in the presence of perborate can be readily determined by a simple test (herein, "Ghost Test"), in which granules coated with a PVA-TiO2 mixture (or a mixture of PVA with any other insoluble filler which readily absorbs light at a wavelength of 600 nm) are added to an agitated solution of sodium perborate buffer, and the rate and extent of TiO2 released from the granule is measured by monitoring the turbidity of the bulk buffer solution as a function of time. Dissolution was performed with 200 mls of a 4.5-gram per liter sodium perborate monohydrate solution at room temperature with a stirring rate of 250 rpm and a beaker size of 250 ml and a stir bar length of 1 inch and diameter of 0.25 inches. The resulting turbidity curve generated for granules added to a borate buffer can then be compared to a control turbidity curve generated for granules dissolved in an aqueous solution free of borate or perborate. The ratio of the rates and equilibrium turbidities generated in the perborate and perborate-free buffers can then be taken as a measure of the tendency of the granule coating to become crosslinked or insolublized by perborate.
Herein, a material is said to exhibit low reactivity with sodium borate, sodium perborate and other boron-containing compounds if it exhibits a ratio of the optical absorbance at 600 nm in perborate solution to the absorbance at 600 nm in distilled water of greater than 25 percent at 6.0 minutes, and more preferably greater than 40 percent, and most preferably greater than 60 percent, as determined by the Ghost Test. The coatings of the present invention can be employed in connection with any number of granule or particle formulations, such as Enzoguard�.
(See U.S. Pat. No. 5,324,649; Genencor International Inc., Rochester, N.Y.) or Savinase granules (Novo Nordisk, Denmark), among others. Other exemplary granule formulations which can incorporate the teachings herein include those disclosed in, U.S. Pat. No. 4,689,297, U.S. Pat. No. 5,814,501, WO 9712958, U.S. Pat. No. 4,106,991, WO 99/32613, PCT application no. US 00/27888, and those described in "Enzymes In Detergency," ed. Jan H. van Ee, et al., Chpt. 15, pgs. 310-312 (Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, N.Y. (1997)); all of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference.
Core materials suitable for use in the particles or granules of the present invention are preferably of a highly hydratable material, i.e., a material that is readily dispersible or soluble in water. The core material should either disperse (fall apart by failure to maintain its integrity when hydrated) or solubilize by going into a true aqueous solution. Clays (bentonite, kaolin), nonpareils and agglomerated potato starch are considered dispersible. Nonpareils are spherical particles consisting of a seed crystal that has been built onto and rounded into a spherical shape by binding layers of powder and solute to the seed crystal in a rotating spherical container. Nonpareils are typically made from a combination of a sugar, such as sucrose, and a powder, such as corn starch. Alternate seed crystal materials include sodium chloride and other inorganic salts.
Particles composed of inorganic salts and/or sugars and/or small organic molecules also may be used as the cores of the present invention. Suitable water soluble ingredients for incorporation into such cores include: sodium chloride, ammonium sulfate, sodium sulfate, urea, citric acid, sucrose, lactose and the like. Water soluble ingredients can be combined with water dispersible ingredients. Cores can be fabricated by a variety of granulation techniques including: crystallization, precipitation, pan-coating, fluid-bed coating, rotary atomization, extrusion, spheronization and high-shear agglomeration.
The cores of the granules or particles of the present invention may further comprise one or more of the following: fillers, plasticizers or fibrous materials. Suitable fillers useful in cores of the present invention include inert materials used to add bulk and reduce cost, or used for the purpose of adjusting the intended enzyme activity in the finished granulate. Examples of such fillers include, but are not limited to, water soluble agents such as urea, salts, sugars and water dispersible agents such as clays, talc, silicates, carboxymethyl cellulose or starches. Suitable plasticizers useful in the cores of the present invention are nonvolatile solvents added to a polymer to reduce its glass transition temperature, thereby reducing brittleness and enhancing deformability. Typically, plasticizers are low molecular weight organic compounds and are highly specific to the polymer being plasticized. Examples include, but are not limited to, polyols (polyhydric alcohols, for example, alcohols with many hydroxyl groups such as glycerol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol), polar low molecular weight organic compounds such as urea, or other known plasticizers such as dibutyl or dimethyl phthalate, or water. Suitable fibrous materials useful in the cores of the present invention include materials which have high tensile strength and which can be formed into fine filaments. Typical fibrous materials include, but are not limited to: cellulose, glass fibers, metal fibers, rubber fibers, azlon (manufactured from naturally occurring proteins in corn, peanuts and milk) and synthetic polymer fibers. Synthetics include Rayon�, Nylon�, acrylic, polyester, olefin, Saran�, Spandex� and Vinal�. Typical cellulose fibers would have an average fiber length of 160 microns with a diameter of about 30 microns.
In a granule embodiment of the present invention, the core is a water soluble or dispersible nonpareil, such as listed above, either coated by or built up from the seed crystal (nonpareil) using substituted PVA either alone or in combination with anti-agglomeration agents such as titanium dioxide, talc, or plasticizers such as sucrose or polyols. The substituted PVA may be partially hydrolyzed PVA, intermediately hydrolyzed PVA, fully hydrolyzed PVA (all as defined above), or a mixture thereof, with a low to high degree of viscosity. Preferably, the core is coated with partially hydrolyzed PVA, either alone or in combination with sucrose or such other plasticizer as known in the art. Partially hydrolyzed PVA is preferred because it results in faster dissolution and a lower amount of residue upon dissolution of the granule than fully hydrolyzed PVA. The level of substituted PVA in the granule coating may represent from about 0.5% to 20% of the weight of the final coated granule. The core of the granules of the present invention, including any coating on such core material as described above, preferably comprises between about 40-85% by weight of the entire coated granule. Although the thickness of the substituted PVA coating may be selected as desired, the coatings described herein were less than 100 um thick, for example 10-30 urn thick and 13 um thick.
In a process embodiment of the present invention, the core material, which may be any material described herein, is charged into the granulator for coating with an enzyme layer.
Any enzyme or combination of enzymes may be used in the present invention. Preferred enzymes include those enzymes capable of hydrolyzing substrates. Such enzymes, which are known as hydrolases, include, but are not limited to, proteases (bacterial, fungal, acid, neutral or alkaline), amylases (alpha or beta), lipases, cellulases and mixtures thereof. Preferred proteases are also those described in U.S. Pat. No. Re. 34,606 and EP 0 130 756, and incorporated herein by reference. Other preferred proteases are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/768,080, filed Feb. 8, 2000, titled Proteins Producing An Altered Immunogenic Response And Methods Of Making And Using The Same, describing protease mutants having an altered T-cell epitope. Preferred proteases under the trade names Multifect�, Purafect� and Properase�, are available from Genencor International, Inc. Preferred proteases are subtilisins and cellulases including, but not limited to, subtilisins produced from any Bacillus species, including mutants. Other enzymes that can be used in the present invention include oxidases, peroxidases, transferases, dehydratases, reductases, hemicellulases and isomerases, among others. One or more enzymes may be included in the formulations of the present invention.
The enzyme layer of the present invention preferably contains, in addition to the selected enzyme, a vinyl polymer, preferably PVA to delaying release of the enzyme in a desirable fashion while not causing undesirable residue. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the enzyme layer comprises intermediately, fully or super hydrolyzed PVA of low to medium viscosity. More preferably the PVA is fully hydrolyzed with a low degree of viscosity. Fully hydrolyzed PVA, at a level of about 0.25% to 3% of the granule weight, provides the desirable characteristic of delayed release of the enzyme to prevent immediate oxidative inactivation of the enzyme by residual wash water chlorine or to prevent inactivation by oxidation or autolysis before the release of stain peptides into the wash.
The present invention also relates to cleaning compositions containing the coated particles or granules of the invention; and especially to detergent compositions that include a boron-containing compound (e.g., sodium borate or sodium perborate). The cleaning compositions may additionally contain additives, which are commonly used in cleaning compositions. These can be selected from, but not limited to, bleaches, surfactants, builders, enzymes and bleach catalysts.
The following representative examples of the substituted PVA coatings on the particles or granules of the present invention, which are not intended to be limiting, illustrate the surprising and beneficial anti-cross linking properties of such particles or granules. The examples illustrate that a desired dissolution rate for a PVA coated particle or granule may be obtained by selecting the extent of PVA substitution in the coating.
To test enzyme particles or granules coated with substituted PVA for insolubility due to crosslinking of the PVA coating in perborate solution the following assay or test method was developed. The method consists of monitoring the optical absorbance of light at a wavelength of 600 nm as a function of time from a test solution containing 200 mg of the granules to be tested. Dissolution was performed with 200 mls of a 4.5 g/Liter sodium perborate monohydrate solution at room temperature with a stirring rate of 250 rpm and a beaker size of 250 ml and a stir bar length of 1 inch and width of � inch. A control solution containing distilled water was also used. Dissolution was indicated by a rapid development of solution turbidity from the titanium dioxide contained in the coating and was measured by a rapid increase in the absorbance of the solution at 600 nm. Crosslinking or "ghosting" of the enzyme granules was indicated by little or no development in solution turbidity as was indicated by the absorbance at 600 nm. The release in borate solution of less than about 40% of the turbidity released in distilled water is an indication of significant crosslinking or ghosting, and the release of less than 25% indicates serious ghosting, which would give rise to persistent undissolved coating residues in a wash or other dissolution application.
Shown in this example is an example of a ghosting granule containing unmodified PVA which is shown as the "Enzoguard"™ coating control in FIG. 1. One can see very little solution turbidity develop with time for this granule when it is tested in the perborate solution. The performance of this same granule in water indicates full dissolution has occurred within 3 minutes. A granule in which the PVA coating has been replaced with a 1% carboxylic acid modified PVA is also shown in this figure. Such a modified PVA is available as K-Polymer KL-106 from Kuraray. It can be seen that despite the fact that only 1% of the hydroxyl groups have been modified to the carboxylic acid group, a significant decrease in crosslinking or ghosting can be observed. This is seen by the increase in the absorbance versus time curve for the KL-106 coated sample, relative to the Enzoguard control, when the ratios of absorbances in perborate solution to absorbances in distilled water are compared. In particular, after six minutes, the absorbance ratio for the KL-106 polymer is 41.6%, whereas for the unmodified PVA in the Enzoguard control, the absorbance ratio is only 20.9%, indicating serious ghosting or crosslinking. (The small decrease in solubility observed for the Carboxylic KL-106 sample in distilled water is to be expected since the pH of distilled water is usually slightly acidic and does not present a problem for these granules).
With higher percentages of the carboxylic acid used to modify PVAs, as shown in Examples 2 and 3 below, dissolution behavior in perborate solutions further improved, surprisingly providing, in some instances, granules that dissolved faster and to a greater degree in perborate solutions as compared to water.

Hydrophilic moieties such as carboxylic and other organic acids such as sulfonic and sulfuric acids, amines, and thiol compounds are suitable choices as substituting groups for reacting with the hydroxyl groups of polyvinyl alcohol, either for partial or complete substitution. A reasonable test of hydrophilicity is the solubility of the neutral unreacted form of the compound in water. A solubility of greater than 100 grams of compound added to 100 grams water at 25 degrees C. will be taken as an indication of hydrophilicity.
The following table, Table 1, gives the solubilities of compounds, which would be suitable and unsuitable for substitution of the hydroxyl groups of PVA. Substitution can be carried out by many possible reactions, e.g., carboxylate groups can be substituted by the condensation of the acid, or direct reaction of the cyclic acid anhydride, so as to introduce the carboxylic acid group into the PVA at the locus of the original hydroxyl group. Hydrophilic acids can be substituted to introduce the acid group into the PVA at the locus of the original hydroxyl group.

formic acid
acetic acid
citric acid
sulfuric acid
sulfonic acid
Additionally, different substitutions may occur on a PVA molecule using a combination of compounds, such as the mixture of carboxylate and sulfonate shown and discussed in Example 4 above.
Levels of substitution as low as 1% have been found to reduce ghosting as seen in Example 1, FIG. 1. Higher levels, greater than 1% and as high as 10% for a 30,000 MW PVA compound have been found to function effectively to provide a substituted PVA compound with an acceptable solubility in perborate and other such solutions.
Various other examples and modifications of the foregoing description and examples will be apparent to a person skilled in the art after reading the disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and it is intended that all such examples or modifications be included within the scope of the appended claims.

Product Description
Of more lasting significance, the movie pioneered a salutary postwar trend in American filmmaking: forsaking the Hollywood soundstages and back lot to tap the freshness and palpable authenticity of real-world locations. Shot mostly in New York City, House was a collaboration between 20th CenturyFox and Louis de Rochement, the documentary producer renowned for his "March of Time" newsreels. The working formula of House and its successors was to fully incorporate documentary techniques into the storytelling, and to "film where it actually happened." That included using some nonprofessional performers, sometimes people who had been involved in the case. Fox went on to embrace this aesthetic in not only the de Rochementproduced 13 Rue Madeleine and Boomerang! but also the gangster movie Kiss of Death, the journalistic detective story Call Northside 777, and another F.B.I. case history, Street With No Name. Even the storybook fantasy of the studio's 1947 Miracle on 34th Street was charmingly validated by setting Kris Kringle down amid real New Yorkers and real Gotham grittiness.
Noiristes should stand advised that House on 92nd Street, a key influence on film noir, is not quite a true noir itself (whereas Anthony Mann's T-Men is noir to the max). Even as a German-American double agent, hero William Eythe is unburdened by neurosis or doubt, and the stylistic keynote is documentary gray, not black--though a murder in a railroad yard and the final showdown are memorably stark and dark. --Richard T. Jameson

The DVD transfer is of a very high quality.
Historically, German espionage in America was rather inept. Far more interesting, we now know, from Venona intercepts and USSR archives, were Soviet schemes to penetrate the Manhattan Project and the highest levels of American foreign policy making. Stalin already knew of the success of Trinity when Truman shared it with him and Churchill in the Potsdam conference in 1945. The misdeeds of Klaus Fuchs, the Rosenbergs, Alger Hiss, and the like could provide fodder for interesting movies now that we have firmer grasp of what went on.
This film was the first-ever "semi-documentary." It has aspects of a documentary: true-life footage inside FBI headquarters, genuine footage of Nazis in the US and their arrests, and G-men playing for the screen the same roles they took in solving the actual crime. The plot is interrupted, now and then, by documentary-like stentorian narration. It is, however, a dramatization and the screenwriters took minor liberties with the facts (i.e., certain of the actual villains were married.) It can also be seen as a commercial for the FBI, and 1945 audiences no doubt were left with a gee-whiz feeling when they saw the footage of the largest file room in the United States, with its millions of fingerprints; the detailed files on all potentially-troublesome foreigners (supposedly rounded up in one day); the FBI's one-way glass mirrors; the elaborate shortwave radio set-ups and the like.Read more ›

The IPO: a transformation, not a transaction
A successful listing on one of the world's capital markets, while always the culmination of months or years of hard work, can provide benefits such as:
- Access to financing to complete a strategic acquisition
- Opportunities to expand your business into new markets
- An exit opportunity for your private equity or other investors
- Improved perceptions of your business and brand with customers, suppliers and employees
An IPO marks a turning point in the life of a company. Exceptional enterprises don't view an IPO as simply a financial transaction, but rather, recognize it as a complex transformation from private to public and start their IPO journey well-informed and well-prepared.

Isaac Hayes
Franchesca Clifford
Guest Star
Kenny's Death: In this episode, Kenny is run over by a police car.
Ike is the first character to be mentioned by name.
Kyle is the first person to curse in South Park, saying dammit after they stop singing during the start.
After Stan vomits from Wendy talking to him, the vomit disappears in a few shots. When the boys are first seen in the cafeteria, Stan is in front of Cartman. When Kyle says, "Hey look, there's Wendy Testeburger." in the next shot, Stan is now behind Cartman.
This was the only episode where Trey Parker and Matt Stone animated the whole episode.
During the theme song, right after Cartman says his line, the bus drives down the road and to the right is a big TV which has a part from "The Spirit of Christmas: Jesus vs. Santa." In the clip, you can see Santa spin Jesus over his head.
Visitor Sighting: There is a hidden alien on the lunch tray in the kitchen while the boys are talking to Chef.
It says on Chalkboard:
Johnny threw the red ball.
I ate too much couscous.
Don't make fun of my grandpa.
I'm not positive, but I think that Kathy Lee Gifford.
is much older then she claims to be.
Parts of speech are assigned to various words on the board.
Kathy Lee Gifford is a noun - a proper noun (person) - but not a direct object. Kathy Lee Gifford is the noun (subject) of the embedded sentence following "that".
Chef says he's got twenty minutes before Sanford and Son is on, but the watch shows fifteen minutes to the hour. This means he's likely planning to watch Sanford and Son on TBS.
Both times Stan threw up at Stark's pond, long shots show Wendy's hair reversed.
The red-haired girl and blond girl sitting in the back row, right side, are soon replaced by Wendy and Pip. There's an identical redhead at the other end of the row who isn't replaced.
Mr. Hat appears as he would if he were a real puppet - with eyes hidden below the rim of his hat. After this episode, his eyes sit atop the rim of the hat.
When the boys are in the field waiting for the aliens, Kyle yells 'Come down here you stinking aliens!' however the voice we hear is Stan's. And the voice of Stan is Cartman's!
The stars keep changing (especially the sparkly big one) position when Cartman is tied to the tree.
Mr. Garrison's glasses change throughout shots, from a thin pair to a bold pair.
When the boys are first seen in the cafeteria, Stan is in front of Cartman. When Kyle says, 'Hey look, there's Wendy Testaburger' in the next shot Stan is now behind Cartman.
At one point in the original pilot, some fifth graders appear to antagonize the boys. The concept of the boys being bullied by peers of higher grades is later reused in other episodes such as "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery" (also involving fifth graders), "4th Grade" (with the former fourth grade students becoming fifth graders and pushing the boys around, who in turn push the new third graders around), and "The Return of the Lord of the Rings to the Two Towers" (with sixth graders trying to get a porno from the boys).
The ending of the pilot was significantly different. Instead of befriending the cows, the Visitors have a BBQ (presumably of the missing cows). At the end, Officer Barbrady is still chasing the UFOs and asks the children if they've seen them. They say no but suggest that he ask the people across the street, which happens to be the aliens disguised as people wearing Hawaiian shirts.
Another odd fact of the original pilot, Kenny reappears before the end of the episode, by the camera panning out until he comes into view. Stan and Kyle are rather stunned to see him alive once more, but Kenny doesn't seem to see this as odd. While this could be argued as the first time Kenny survives a whole episode, the main version of the pilot has more canon than this viewing, and also Kenny dies at one point anyway.
Mr. Garrison's first name of Herbert is mentioned for the first time.
This episode was adapted from the unaired pilot episode that had a different theme song and introduction.
When they are in the field at night waiting for the aliens, Kyle yells "come down here you stinkin aliens;" however the voice we hear is Stan's.
The real picture of the woman in a Cartman's house is Matt Stone's sister, Rachel.
Chef's apron goes from upper case to lower case in this episode.
Officer Barbrady's police car in this episode says "To Patronize and Annoy."
The blackboard says "I'm not sure but Kathy Lee Gifford is older than she claims to be."
In the classroom the picture of Columbus on the wall changes to an astronaut.
In this episode Mr. Hat has no eyes, but in the rest he does.
In the beginning when Ike is kicked through the window, He smashes the whole window, but in the other views (except a few seconds inside the bus) the window is in 2 segments like a normal school bus. He would have smacked this divider. Hehe. -PiGuy
When Stan says "That was beautiful" the tree beside him can be seen moving a little bit, when Stan says "nope, they're leaving", the same tree can be seen moving.
When the kids get on the bus, and are yelling at the bus driver, Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman are shown riding the bus, when the camera shows the bus driver, there are about 3 or 4 more kids on the bus.
When the children are talking about alien visitors with Chef, you can see that Chef's Apron has the word "CHEF" on it. Throughout the scene, the word "CHEF" becomes "chef" then "CHEF" again and "chef" again! From Capital case to lower case.
Kyle yells "Get down here you stupid aliens!" in Stan's voice
Kyle's pockets on his shirt aren't outlined in black.
Kathy Lee Gifford's name is misspelled on the board as Cathy Lee.
Throughout this entire episode, you can see the animation change back and forth. It starts with all paper cutout characters and everything looking all cheap then goes into a smoother design done entirely on computer, no paper used. Then it goes back to paper cut outs again! It goes back and forth through-out the entire episode. It isn't really hard to notice at all.
Compare the spoken word to the written word:
From the DVD Kyle: You know what you assholes like! You like to _____ and sh___ and _____ and _____ and _____ and _____!
From the official script Kyle: You know what you like!? I bet you'd all like to (beep) your own (beep) while she (beep) on your (beep) (beep)!!
When Cartman sings "Stan wants to ki-iss Wendy Testabur-ger" his hands have switched places, but are returned to their places a bit later.
Conductor: Hey, you cows can't get on this train. This is a people train. You cows have no business on a people train, alright. Because you're cows. (The cows just stare at the conductor.) No, no, no. Don't try any of that cow hypnosis on me, alright?
Chef: (gets out of car) Hello there children!
Boys: Hey Chef!
Stan: What's gonna be for lunch today Chef?
Chef: Well, today it's Salisbury steak with buttered noodles, and a choice of green bean casserole, or vegetable medley.
Cartman: Kickass.
Kyle: Dude, I have to save Ike! I don't even know what to do!
Stan: Well, we can't do anything now; that fat bitch won't let us!
Ms. Crabtree: WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?
Stan: I said that rabbits eat lettuce.
Ms. Crabtree: Oh. Well, yes, they certainly do...
Cartman: (singing) Stan wants kiss Wendy Testaburger...
Stan: Shut up, fat-ass! I don't even like her!
Cartman: I'm not fat; and you obviously like her, because you throw up every time she talks to you.
Stan: I do not!
(after seeing a crop circle on the news that looks just like him)
Cartman: Hey, that kind of looks like...Tom Sellick.
Mr. Garrison: (seeing the alien spaceship) Boy, there sure are some strange things going on in this town... (as Mr. Hat) You can say that again, Mr. Garrison.
(Cartman yawns loudly.)
Stan: Whoa, Cartman! You look like you didn't get enough sleep.
Cartman: I know. That's because I was having these bogus nightmares.
Kyle: Really? What about?
Cartman: Well, I dreamed that I was lying in my bed in the dark. When all of a sudden, this bright blue light fills the room. Then slowly, my bedroom door begins to open. And the next thing I remember, I was being dragged through a hallway. Then I was lying on a table and these scary hands wanted to operate on me. And they had big heads and big black eyes…
Stan: Dude! Visitors!
Kyle: Totally!
Chef: An anal probe is when they stick a big metal hoob-a-joo up your butt.
Chef: Say, did any of you boys see the alien spaceship last night?
(Cartman gasps in horror.)
Kyle: (points to Cartman) Yeah! Fat-boy saw it!
Cartman: N-No! That was just a dream! (to Kyle) And I'm not fat; I'm big boned!
Chef: Were they the same ones with the thin bodies and round heads?
(Cartman gasps in horror again.)
Stan: They took him aboard their ship!
Chef: Wow! (to Cartman) Did they give you an anal probe??
(Cartman gasps in horror again.)
Kyle: What's an anal probe?
Chef: That's when they put this big metal hoopamajoob up your butt.
Kyle: Whoa… (to Cartman) They gave you an anal probe, Cartman?
Cartman: No, I mean… Why would they do that??
Stan: Dude, they did, huh?? Aliens shove things up your ass!
Stan: Now, do you believe us, Cartman?
Cartman: You guys can't scare me! I know you're making it all up.
Stan: Cartman, there's an 80-foot satellite dish sticking out of your ass!
Cartman: Sure, you guys, whatever.
Stan: (after Kyle smacks Cartman with Ike) Dude! That kicks ass!
Kyle: Oh, yeah? You wanna see something really cool? (to Ike) Ready, Ike? Kick the baby!
Ike: Don't kick the baby.
Kyle: Kick the baby! (kicks Ike, sending him crashing into a few mailboxes)
Kyle: (about Ike) Damn it! He's still there!
Stan: Oh, don't worry about him.
Kyle: No,dude, if something happens to him, my parents are going to blame me!
Ms. Crabtree: SIT DOWN BACK THERE! AHHHHHH!
Stan: Yeah, whatever you fat bitch.
Ms. Crabtree: WHAT DID YOU SAY?!
Stan: I said "I have a bad itch."
Ms. Crabtree: Oh.
Kyle: No, Ike. You can't come to school with me!
Cartman: Yeah. Go home, you little dildo.
Kyle: What?! Dude! Don't call my little brother a dildo!
Stan: What's a dildo?
Kyle: I don't know... But I'll bet Cartman doesn't know what it means!
Cartman: I do TOO know what it means!
Kyle: Okay, then... What?
Cartman: I'm not telling you...
Officer Barbrady: (finding the cows) Ha! I caught you now, cows! Let's see you get away now!
(A cow presses the button on machine given to them by aliens and then Officer Barbrady has big rosy cheeks and bright eyes like a 1920's cartoon character and begins singing and dancing.)
Officer Barbrady: (singing) I like to sing-a, about the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a, I like to sing-a, about a sky of blue-a or a tea for two-a...
Cartman: Ha, ha, ha! Mr. Hat yelled at you.
Kyle: Mr. Garrison, I HAVE to be excused!
Mr. Garrison: Oh, I don't know, Kyle... Did you ask Mr. Hat?
Kyle: I don't wanna ask Mr. Hat; I'm asking YOU!
Mr. Garrison: Oh, I think you should ask Mr. Hat...
Kyle: Mr. Hat, may I please be excused from class?
Mr. Garrison: (as Mr. Hat) Well, Kyle... NO!!! You hear me?! You go to hell! You go to hell and you die! (as himself) Well, I guess you'll have to take your seat, Kyle.
Kyle: Damn it! (walks back to his desk)
(Cartman drops out of the sky as Stan and Kyle wait for the bus.)
Stan: Oh, hey, Cartman.
Cartman: You guys, I just had the strangest dream...
Kyle: Really? What about?
Cartman: Well, I dreamed I was standing out in a field, and there was this huge satellite dish stickin' out of my butt. And there were hundreds of cows and aliens, and then I went up on the ship, and Scott Baio gave me pinkeye.
Stan: That wasn't a dream, Cartman; that really happened!
Cartman: Oh, right. Why don't I have pinkeye, then?
Kyle: Cartman, you DO have pinkeye!
Cartman: Ah! Son of a bitch!
Stan: Holy crap! Wendy wants to meet me at Stark's Pond after school today.
Kyle: Wow. Maybe you can kiss her.
Cartman: Or slip her the tongue.
Kenny: (muffled) Maybe you can touch her pussy.
Stan: What? How do you know she has a cat?
(Kenny starts laughing)
Officer Barbrady: This is nothing out of the unusual. Cows turn themselves inside out all the time.
Farmer: People's been saying they've been seeing UFO's around.
Officer Barbrady: UFO's? Ha.
Farmer: Yeah, and black army, CIA helicopters and trucks.
Officer Barbrady: That is the silliest thing I've ever heard. (black helicopters fly overhead)
Farmer: What was that?
Officer Barbrady: That? That was a pigeon.
(Addressing an alien spacecraft)
Chef: Hey, down here. We are ready for your wisdom. And you only got twenty minutes before Sanford and Son is on.
(Stan farts)
Kyle: You farted.
(both laugh)
Cartman: Somebody's baking brownies.
Kyle: Miss. Crabtree you have got to stop the bus!
Miss Crabtree: Do you want an office referral?!
Kyle: No.
Miss Crabtree: THEN SIT DOWN!!!
Kyle: AH!!!
Miss Crabtree: AHH!!!
Kyle: AH!!!
Miss Crabtree: AHH!!!
Kyle and Miss Crabtree: AAHHH!!!!!!!!!
Kyle: Ready, Ike? Kick the baby!
Ike: Don't kick the baby.
Kyle: Kick the baby!
Cartman: You guys! Get me down from hee-ah!
Kyle: ...my dad will start yelling, 'Where's your brother, Kyle?! You weren't looking out for your little brother, Kyle!'
Stan: Calm down, dude.
Kyle: 'You know he can't think on his own, Kyle! Brush and floss, Kyle! WHERE HAS THAT FINGER BEEN, KYLE?!'
Stan: Dude!
Cartman: Why is it that everything today has to do with things either going in or coming out of my ass???
Kitty: Meow.
Cartman: No kitty, this is my pot-pie.
Kitty: Meow.
Cartman: No KITTY, THIS IS MY POT-PIE! MOM! Kitty's being a dildo!
Liane Cartman: Well then, I know a certain kitty-kitty whose sleeping with mommy tonight.
Cartman: What?
(The Visitors appear in front of Stan and Kyle.)
Stan: Go ahead, Kyle; ask them for your baby brother back.
Kyle: Visitors... This morning you took my little brother, Ike. He's the little freckled kid that looks like a football. At first, I was happy you took him away, but I've learned something today... That having a little brother is a pretty special thing.
Stan: Yeah.
Kyle: Ah, heck, Mr. Visitors... I'm just a kid all alone in this crazy world, but if you could find it in your hearts or whatever you have, to give my brother back to me, it sure would make my life brighter again...
Stan: That was beautiful, dude.
Kyle: Did it work?
Stan: No, they're leaving.
Kyle: Hey, you scrawny-ass ********! What the **** is wrong with you?! You must be some kind of ******* ******* to be able to ignore a crying child!
Stan: Whoa, dude!
Kyle: You know what you ******* like?! You like to **** and **** and **** and **** and **** and ****!
Stan: Hey, Wendy. What's a ****?
Ms. Cartman: Do you want Cheesy Poofs too?
Cartman: Yeah, I want Cheesy Poofs.
Stan: The fat bitch won't let us.
Miss Crabtree: What did you say?
Stan: I said rabbits eat lettuce.
Miss Crabtree: Oh, why yes, they certainly do.
Cartman: Screw you guys, I'm going home!
Kyle: Ike, do your impersonation of David Caruso's career.
Ike: It's my turn!
(Ike plummets from the spaceship in a nose dive to the ground)
In the original pilot, Pip has way more lines than in this episode.
First appearances: Chef, Mr. Garrison, Wendy, Ike, Pip, Cartman's Mom, Ms. Crabtree, Officer Barbrady and Farmer Denkins.
This is the fourth episode of South park, but it's an edited and shortened version of Episode 3. The episode is still considered the pilot episode to many viewers; due to it being the first episode that aired on TV.
In the original "Pilot" episode, Chef gives the boys Super Hot Tamales, instead of pulling the fire alarm to let the boys sneak out.
The Disclaimer:
This episode and pilot were the only South Park episodes that were made entirely out of construction paper.
Originally in the end when Kyle said "We're running out of friends," Kenny reappeared.
The deleted scene where Pip comes to the boys in the cafeteria lunch line asking what's today's lunch can be seen during "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig".
That real picture next to Cartman's couch is a picture of one of the creator's sister.
Scott Baio
Toward the end of the episode, Cartman accuses Scott Baio of giving him pinkeye. Baio is best known for his role as Fonzie's little brother on Happy Days.
Tex Avery:
The song "I Love to Singa" which Cartman sings when the aliens take control of his body is from the 1936 Tex Avery cartoon of the same name.
The Sopranos:
Chef says for lunch they have a choice of Green Bean Casserole. In Cancelled, Chef and the boys say Green Bean Salad. This episode is mentioned in one episode of The Sopranos when A.J. is with his counselor and he mentioned the episode.
Cannibal! The Musical:
"Uhyouyouyou gotta help the children." - Chef's statement here goes back to 1994, when Trey and Matt were working on Cannibal! The Musical. From The Making of Cannibal: The Musical, Chapter 9, by Jason McHugh: They couldn't stop talking about this big fat black guy they had run into, who kept saying "Watch the children, ya'll gots to watch the children." They kept putting their hands out pretending they were in some fat suit, and then they'd say, "Watch the children," a few times until they were laughing hysterically. I'm still not sure if they actually ran into someone specific or not, but the description of the watch-the-children man became more and more outrageous as the weeks pass by. I guess that was the birth of Chef!
Dr. Suess:
"Cows on a people train" - from an obscure Dr.Seuss book entitled "In A People House," which he wrote under the pseudonym "Theo LeSeig"
David Caruso:
"Do your impersonation of David Caruso's career": refers to his career after NYPD Blue - it took a dive like when Ike takes a dive head first into the snow.
Charlie Brown:
Stan's humungous smile is very reminiscent of Charlie Brown's; indeed, of any cartoon character who shows a deep crush on another.
Soylent Green:
The blackboard says Tuesday is salisbury steak day. Later in the episode it shows the board again with "Tuesday" crossed out and "today" written above it. This quote is a reference to the 1973 film Soylent Green. In the movie, you see a blackboard with "Tuesday is soylent green day" and later you see the same board with "Tuesday" crossed out and "today" written above it.
