This was delicious!! I didn't have any cream, so after sauteeing the veggies, I just added a dab of butter and a tablespoon of flour, let it cook out for a minute and poured in some skim milk. It was awesome!! I made it with chicken and prosciutto tortellini's. It had the perfect amount of spice and I will definitely make this one again!
In this dish i did not put all the veggies because i did not have them, i added extra garlic, and used sriracha instead of the chili paste. It turned out delishes and the right amount of spicy. Its the perfect amount for 3 people (girls)
didn't put in all veggies. came out very good.
I think you have the same ingredients in our kitchen that I have in mine! Very nice pasta dish that hit the spot and was reasonably quick to prepare.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

An American Killingby Mary-Ann Tirone Smith
View All Available Formats & Editions
A smart-mouthed, fast-paced tale of marriage, murder, and double-dealing in the best-selling tradition of Susan Isaacs, Olivia Goldsmith, and Diane Johnson. As such things are measured in Washington, Denise Burke has everything a woman of wit could want: two hip kids able to look after themselves; a marriage carefully constructed to allow maximum mutual leeway
A smart-mouthed, fast-paced tale of marriage, murder, and double-dealing in the best-selling tradition of Susan Isaacs, Olivia Goldsmith, and Diane Johnson. As such things are measured in Washington, Denise Burke has everything a woman of wit could want: two hip kids able to look after themselves; a marriage carefully constructed to allow maximum mutual leeway with a husband smack in the center of Clinton's inner circle; and a high-profile lover, the most eligible bachelor on Capitol Hill. Plus, she's a best-selling author of true-crime books. Not bad for a kid from the wrong side of the tracks whose mother never saw the wrong side of a bottle of booze. When her lover urges Denise to look into an old murder in his home districtand then just as urgently begs her to drop the whole thingher stubborn streak kicks in. And when he dies in flagrante with a D.C. call girl, her bullshit detector goes on red alert: the good congressman didn't have to pay for sex. But it's when death strikes even closer to home that Denise becomes a woman with a big-time problem. Someone is serious about getting her to drop the old case. Serious enough to make her Numero Uno for the next hit. Combining the political savvy of Anonymous, the barbed wit of Sue Grafton, and the Lone Ranger instincts of Travis McGee, An American Killing is this year's big best-seller.
Editorial Reviews
-- People Magazine
-- The Washington Post Book World
-- Margaret Ann Hanes, Sterling Heights Public Library, MI
With An American Killing, Mary-Ann Tirone Smith has created what may be the seriocomic suspense novel of the year. Smith takes readers on a wild trip with true-crime author Denise Burke, who discovers that an innocent man may have been convicted for murder. We asked author and Mystery Scene editor Ed Gorman to examine what he calls "the debut of a major-major crime novelist."
Laughing All the Way to the Morgue
I lean into him and whisper back, "What?"
"Who the hell planned all this anyway?"
"The President."
"No shit."
You gotta a love a book with dialogue like that on the very first page. Of course, there is dialogue that good -- or better -- on virtually every page. I can't think of a mystery-cum-thriller this funny since Susan Isaacs's Compromising Positions.
Here's the story line in broadstroke: Denise is a true-crime writer caught in a dozing marriage to Clinton aide Nick Burke. At a book party, she meets Congressman Owen Hall, who tells her about a murder trial in his district, and how the man convicted may be innocent. Denise is intrigued not only by the story but by the congressman himself. An affair soon follows -- as does a mysterious and sudden request by the congressman to forget the story he told her, the implication being that it's too dangerous to investigate. What's going on here? But of course she investigates. And plot twist begins to pile upon plot twist.
Books this funny are rarely this substantial. While the surface bubbles with smart-ass commentary on everything from Hillary Clinton's fashion tips to the O. J. trial (Denise wrote a bestselling true crime book on the subject) to her kids' fascination with the David Letterman show (on moving day "their job as 12-and-13-year-olds was to act weary, bored, and jaded, so they sublimated their excitement by torturing me. I told them to just dismantle the Kurt Cobain shrines and start packing boxes.")
She gives us Washington, D.C., and the celebrity circuit with great little cameos: "[I'd] stood in the elevator next to Jeremy Irons, who smiled right at me and stared right through [my husband]. He was wearing a tuxedo, of course, because he's British and doesn't know any better." The trouble is, 360 pages of such froth and pith and piffle might begin to pall on some readers, like a eating a four-course meal where every course is banana cream pie.
But when Smith gives us the murder investigation in New Caxton, Rhode Island -- a small town devastated by economic hard times -- her tone manages to grow serious, even occasionally melancholy, without losing any plot momentum -- or any of the wonderful smart-ass surface of her style. And in the course of the last act in particular, she deals in a fetchingly modern way with issues such as raising children, dealing with a bad marriage, finding some kind (any kind) of meaning within a relatively privileged life, and surviving in today's publishing world (she makes some hilariously nasty points).
Smith's first four books were seriocomic literary novels. The skills she honed in those books are easy to find here. While the almost too-bright narrator could easily be narcissistic in the way of too many literary novels, she has a great grasp of the world around her, and her wit is her protection against it. Smith even risks making the heroine less than admirable a few times in the book -- the kind of character twist that makes editors lose sleep. This is, after all, the era of white hats versus black hats. But Smith and her heroine are too smart for that.
An American Killing is easily one of the best suspense novels of the year. Smith excels at character, plotting, and social observation. In other words, so far as I can see, she can do it all. I assume -- and hope -- that this is the first of a series. Denise Burke is just too damned appealing a sleuth to say goodbye to.
I also assume there's a movie in the works. Just please not Julia Roberts in the lead. Please.
What we have here is the debut of a major-major crime novelist.
--Ed Gorman
Ed Gorman's latest novels include Cold Blue Midnight, Harlot's Moon, and Black River Falls, the latter of which "proves Gorman's mastery of the pure suspense novel," says Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. ABC-TV has optioned the novel as a movie. He is also the editor of Mystery Scene Magazine, which Stephen King calls "indispensable" for mystery readers.
-- The New York Times Book Review
Coming off her O.J. book, Burke follows up on a tip from womanizing bachelor Congressman Owen Hall about Eddie Baines, a black man who might have been falsely convicted of murdering the Montevallo family in the decaying factory town of New Caxton, Rhode Island. Burke leaves a note for her perfect kids and perpetually preoccupied husband at their home in Alexandria, reopens her beautifully rustic family beach house in Connecticut, and discovers violent, sadly pathetic tragedy lurking in the shadows off Main Street. Meanwhile, a sexy affair blossoms between Burke and Hall, whose interest in her investigation becomes ominous. Before Hall can stop Burke from probing further, he winds up dead in a prostitute's bed. Burke's eventual discoverythat the lives of the high and mighty are inexorably tangled among the low and the weakis no surprise. The story's appeal is in the author's coyly drawn friends, such as the vampish FBI agent Poppy Rice andthe sullen small-town newspaper columnist Leo Schatz, and in her dizzy take on the glittering life of a celebrity journalist who can't see the evil in her own backyard. Frothy fun that, when the narrator isn't gossiping about the Clintons or prattling about her fictitious successes, offers numerous compassionate glimpses of dead-end small-town life.

I wrote a service which does the following on startup:
- Boots up CouchDB
- Makes a pull _replicate (+continuous) request to CouchDB
- Monitors _active_tasks for the 'progress' to reach 100 before considering itself as ready
However, the database I'm dealing with is fairly large and so the replication task takes a very long time to reach 100 even though I only turned off the database recently, and it had a continuous replication task before that, so it should be almost entirely up to date. That is, the incremental replication should be quick.
Why could it be taking so long considering it's already almost up to date, and is there anything I can do to either speed it up OR allow my service to consider itself as ready before "progress" reaches 100? The latter seems unlikely as I do want it to be fully up to date.
Thanks :)

Hi guys,
I'm working with a client that's very far away and we're going through many design revisions on a large scale web design project. Until now l've just been emailing the JPEGS over to him and trying to name them all according to revision #. But this isn't efficient in my eyes, and we need to come up with something different.
I'm wondering if any of you can suggest a good place to upload large 980x750 JPEG files into an album type setting that would work good. I've tried picasa, image shack and flkr but they all require multiple clicks to view the full size image.

Police: Appropriate action was taken in Dallas standoff
Even as they said criminal charges weren't likely, police officials and others defended the department's actions during a three-hour standoff
By Tristan Hallman
The Dallas Morning News
DALLAS — Even as they said criminal charges weren't likely, police officials and others Wednesday defended the department's actions during a three-hour standoff Tuesday that put parts of the Victory Park and downtown areas on lockdown.
Sgt. Warren Mitchell, a police spokesman, said officers never recovered a gun from the apartment of the suspect in the 2300 block of N. Houston Street and didn't find any shell casings. He also said it's unclear how or when the window was broken, but responding officers saw the hole in the glass after residents reported hearing gunshots.
Deputy Chief Scott Walton, who oversees SWAT, said Tuesday that police feared that they might be dealing with an active shooter with a good vantage point in a popular area. Police locked down The Perot Museum, the W Hotel, the Dallas World Aquarium and Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in response.
Walton said Wednesday that police were only dealing with what they knew — witnesses said shots had been fired, a man was barricaded in his apartment, and his window had a hole in it.
"We handled the situation appropriately based on the information we had at the time," he said.
Chief David Brown, who served for seven years on SWAT, agreed with Walton.
"When dealing with mental health issues with suspects, you really have to be careful because it's such an unpredictable scenario," he said. "I'm just grateful it ended up getting resolved without anybody getting injured."
Police have yet to confirm the man's identity, but neighbors and other news accounts identified him as 38-year-old David Arnold Lamb.
His mother, Margarete, said Wednesday that her son is bipolar and was taking medication. She said she hadn't heard from him recently.
"I just think everything come down on him all at once and he just flipped," she said by phone from her Arkansas home.
She said Lamb "never" owned a gun or was violent. Still, while the standoff worried her, she said she didn't believe police overreacted either and was glad her son was safe.
Others agreed that safety was the priority. Paula Carlson, director of husbandry for the Dallas World Aquarium said Wednesday that police acted appropriately.
"We're grateful that it didn't end up being a tragic situation, and when you have a building full of school children, their safety is the most important, so we're grateful for that," she said.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
The six men originally accused of shooting up Waka Flocka Flame's tour bus back in February will be released, as there is not enough evidence to prosecute them. All of the charges have been dismissed.
District Attorney Andrew Murray told The Charlotte Observer that the defendants, some of whom have felony records, were still in custody and the charges needed to be dismissed because of that. "That's why we need to dismiss the charges now," he said. "I'm not thrilled about having to dismiss these charges." Murray said that even though there was a shooting, there was still no evidence of a robbery.
The men were originally charged with attempted armed robbery, conspiracy and discharging a weapon into an occupied territory when the tour bus was shot at while Waka was having the audio system updated at Car Stereo Warehouse in East Charlotte, North Carolina. Waka was talking to fans in the parking lot at the time. One of the men involved in the robbery attempt was shot by Waka's security.

You probably know one surefire way to turn her on using your mouth. But that's not what this story is about. That comes later.
Instead, this is about those first moments after you catch her eye across the bar and she flashes you an inviting "come give me your best shot" smile. Obviously, she's checked out your look and your posture, the way you interact with your buddies, and all the other subtle cues evolution has pre-programmed her brain to search for when evaluating a potential mate.
From here on out, your mouth will decide whether she deems you a keeper or tosses you back into the pond with your pals. Don't flounder.
Talk Smart
Women are attracted to "verbal fluency"—a big vocabulary, long, complex sentence structures, and smooth delivery. All of these speech characteristics signal to her that you're smart, educated, and probably capable of earning lots of dough. As much as you're able, Use big words and—more than anything else—speaking confidently and without long pauses.
Keep the Smiles to a Minimum
Women regard too much smiling as a sign of femininity and timidity—both of which are turn-offs, according to a study. Researchers asked more than 1,000 people to rate photos of the opposite sex in terms of hotness. Smiling men were judged least attractive by the ladies—behind shame-faced, prideful, or guys with neutral expressions. That doesn't mean you should be a stone-faced hardass when you approach her. Just lose the permanent grin, the research suggests.
Deploy the Proper Joke
More than any other personality trait, a good sense of humor unlocks the door to her bedroom. Why? Women regard a sense of humor as a sign of intelligence and honesty. But there's one big catch: Women dig positive, inclusive jokes—not negative jabs or put-downs. Ditch the sarcasm, insults, and unflattering observations of others. Instead, your goal is witty, kind-hearted banter.
Interrupt Her
It sounds rude, but occasionally cutting in to finish her sentences or agree with her—"I feel exactly the same way!"—shows her you're both on the same page. While men tend to let each other finish sentences, women constantly interrupt one another while chatting. Doing likewise can make her feel more comfortable and close to you, but only if what you say builds on or supports what she's saying. Cutting in to change the subject is a no-no.
Kiss Her Like You Mean It
She laughed at your jokes and seemed to dig your big words. But the last obstacle is a treacherous one: the first kiss. Blow it, and any interest she had in you can evaporate in an instant. These are the three important elements of a winning starter smooch: Good breath, little-to-no tongue, and assertiveness. Pop a mint on your way out of the bar, take her face in your hands, and look her in the eyes as you lock lips. Keep your mouth relaxed and your saliva to yourself, and you'll knock her socks off.

Excellent classic hotel.Posted Jul 3, 2016
The rooms are perfect, beautifully designed and not overly draped with Victoriana. The best hotel we stayed in during a 12 day tour of northern California. Perfect location where you could walk to everything.

Noting exceptional --no repeat stay.Posted Apr 16, 2016
Pros: Secure. Friendly check in staff.
Cons: See above.
Stayed on the third floor which lead directly to the parking lot. The carpets and the hail ways looked very old. Think because this is apparently the pet friendly floor--third floor that they haven't updated carpet or interiors. Room was cozy but very very small. I stayed in a queen room with a view of the mountains. From the looks of the menu for the restaurant on line the meals range around $35-45+. Limited to only a half dozen (if that many) entree selections. No menu provided in the about the hotel book. In fact it appeared nothing except tabs appeared in the hotel information book provided --just tabs. No Holy Bible provided in the room either. Breakfast included scrambled eggs and potatoes which were good. Parking area behind the hotel was extremely steep...because its on a hill side straight up and down. Secured parking.

Burque's DIY culture emporiums of yore

Last month's ABQ Zine Fest showed that in these days of instant blog gratification there is a resurgence in cut-and-paste words on paper. Our earlier local zine culture had diminished at the dawn of the aughts, but in the mid '90s, zines were available at any number of shops in town. The mother lode of them all was Mind Over Matter.

Despite the fact that Twinkies and other Hostess treats are back on store shelves, there currently are no plans to reopen the local outlet store that previously housed those and other food items.
St. Clair R-XIII School District Superintendent Michael Murphy told The Missourian on Monday that he has not been contacted by anyone associated with the newly reorganized Hostess company about re-renting the facility where the former Wonder Bread/Hostess Cakes outlet store was located. That store, at 440 E. Gravois Road at the intersection of Bardot Street, closed in November after the parent company went bankrupt.

The scene for "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom", takes place in a recording studio in 1927 where two white music executives are making a record with blues singer, Ma Rainey and a group of musicians.
Because the focus is on four male band members. it may take a while to try to put a face with each character, but within a short time, you grasp who the characters are - their values, beliefs and fears.
Ma Rainey's tone of voice is profound and nobody can push her around. Some critics report that Ma Rainey was exploitive and abusive to her band members, but I certainly did not get that impression. She was just tough and she knew how important her role was in blues music! Ma Rainey didn't take any crap from the white executives or anyone.
The dialogue interweaves with Ma's performance onstage and the band members during rehearsals. Their identities evolve and it's clear who and why they are as they share their experience with racist America and we then know their role in a racist society and industry.
A dramatic ending caps the story when the most bitter player reacts violently when another member steps on his shoes. To me, the incident seemed unjustifiable to provoke such a violent reaction by another member. It appeared out of place.
If you have an interest in the work of a great playwright or another interpretation of black experience through the decades, read more from this amazing man.
Although it features very good dialogue and some fine monologues, nothing much happens dramatically during the course of the play. There is an explosive finale, but it feels contrived and overdone, as though Wilson didn't know where to take his characters after all of the talking stopped.

Right now the most popular headline regarding virtual care isn't about how it's going to making gaming experiences more exciting. Rather, it's all about how VR has the ability to change the health care industry in the very near future.
Have you ever been sent to the hospital because you've taken too many prescription drugs? Geriatric doctors at Canadian health facilities are finding that too many senior citizens are being admitted to their care in result of prescription drug overdose. This isn't necessarily the fault of the user, and it's about time senior caregivers assess what they are prescribing the elderly.
Life expectancy is expected in increase across the globe in the next few decades. This will put added pressure on senior care and support infrastructure, creating jobs and demanding new strategies in health care and beyond.
Good physical health is key to successful aging. Eating healthily and maintaining an active lifestyle reduces people's chances of developing many serious diseases that they become more vulnerable to as they age, such as heart disease and diabetes. If you're worried about your loved ones' health or simply want to ensure they continue on the right path, use these tips to give them the push they need to stay healthy.
Talking to parents about getting extra support can be a challenging task. You don't want them to think that you're giving up on them or that they'll lose all of their independence if they move to an assisted living community, but these are common misconceptions that seniors may have when confronted with the idea. The way that you approach the conversation with your loved ones can determine how they end up feeling about the proposed transition.
Alzheimer's disease can lead to serious issues related to memory and independence. The condition can be fatal, but may also lead to dangerous conditions that can cause injury or death as well. For that reason, understanding the possible symptoms of Alzheimer's is a way to make lifestyle adjustments as early as possible.
Spending time with your grandkids is obviously immensely rewarding, but sometimes it can be tough to keep up with their seemingly boundless energy. Next time your grandchildren visit, having a few activities planned can be a way to reign in the chaos and make a few memories along the way.
May is American Stroke Awareness Month, and according to the Stroke Center, nearly 800,000 adults in the U.S. suffer from this disorder every year. A stroke can be potentially lethal, but can also lead to debilitating issues related to mobility and speech.

a. Field of the Invention:
This invention relates to a preparation process of dl-lactic acid-glycolic acid-copolymers used as matrices of molded slow-releasing drugs.
b. Description of the Prior Art:
Polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid and other similar compounds are bioabsorbable and hydrolyzable polymers. By applying these properties, these polymers are used for medical care as sutures or matrices of molded slow-releasing drugs in the form of pellet, film and bar which are administered by such methods as, for example, implanatation.
Particularly polylactic acid has better processing ability and solubility in solvents as compared with polyglycolic acid, and is frequencly used as a matrix in the form of various molded drugs. Polylactic acid, however, has a slow rate of decomposition in vivo, and is hence disadvantageous in that polylactic acid remains in the organism as long as one to several months after releasing the drugs.
Therefore, it has also been known recently to use copolymers obtained by copolymerizing lactic acid with glycolic acid.
According to the information of the present inventors in particular, a copolymer containing 50-60 mol % of a lactic acid unit and 40-50 mol % of a glycolic acid unit and also having such physical properties as a weight average molecular weight of 30,000-100,000, good solubility in chloroform and an inherent viscosity of 0.4-0.6 in a 1 g/100 ml solution has suitable absorbability in vivo and solubility. Therefore, it has already been known that the copolymer can be applied for various matrices of drugs in a wide field of medication forms and is particularly suitable for the slow-releasing drugs used for the implantation in the form such as pellet, film and micro capsule.
A low molecular weight lactic acid-glycolic acid-copolymer having a relatively high content of the lactic acid unit like the copolymer of this invention and the process for preparing the same have been disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Nos. 64824/1987 and 46823/1981.
Japanese Laid-Open Patent No. 64824/1987 discloses a low molecular weight and heterogeneous lactic acid-glycolic acid-copolymer containing 25-100 mol % of the lactic acid unit and 0-75 mol % of the glycolic acid unit, being soluble in benzene and having an intrinsic viscosity of not more than 0.5 in a 1 g/100 ml solution of benzene. It also discloses a similar copolymer containing the same proportion of the above units, being insoluble in benzene and having an intrinsic viscosity of not more than 4 in a 1 g/100 ml solution of chloroform or dioxane.
As an illustrative example of the preparation process, the above patent describes that the desired copolymer is obtained by copolymerizing a lactide with a glycolide at 160° C. in the presence of dl-lactic acid containing water as a polymerization regulator by the use of stannous octoate as a catalyst in an amount of 0.2 wt. % based on the sum of the lactide and the glycolide.
In addition, Japanese Laid-Open Patent No. 46823/1981 discloses a lactic acid/glycolic acid-copolymer used for a matrix of molded slow-releasing drugs containing parasitic ascaricide and the process for preparing the same.
This patent describes that a lactic acid-glycolic acid-copolymer being derived from about 70-80 wt. % of lactic acid and about 30-20 wt. % of glycolic acid and having such desired properties as an inherent viscosity of about 0.13-0.23 in a chloroform solution and a weight average molecular weight of about 15,000-30,000 is obtained by conducting the copolymerization in the presence of a strongly acidic ion exchange resin.
As stated above in Japanese Laid-Open Patent No. 64824/1987, the copolymer having the desired properties is obtained by using stannous octoate in an amount of about 0.2 wt. % based on the sum of lactic acid and glycolic acid. However, the tin content in the molded drugs administered in vivo must, of course, be minimized.
On the other hand, it is difficult to remove tin metal from the copolymer obtained. Although stannous octoate is known to have a remarkable effect as the catalyst, stannous octoate contains a metallic tin ingredient of 28-30 wt. %. Therefore, the amount used as described in the patent inevitably causes residue of tin metal in an amount of several hundred ppm and is expected to have adverse effects to some extent.
As a result, the above Japanese Laid-Open Patent No. 46823/1981 is though to have carried out the copolymerization of lactic acid with glycolic acid by using the strongly acidic ion exchange resin in the absolute absence of the metallic catalyst.
Besides the slow-releasing drugs, no endotoxin must be contained in materials administered in vivo.
Endotoxin is lipopolysaccharides existing in cell walls of the bacteria and known to exert biological activities such as decrement in leucocytes and blood platelets, fever, hemorrhagic necrosis of bone marrow and reduction in flood sugar value.
The above Japanese Laid-Open Patent No. 64824/1987 illustrates an example for conducting the copolymerization at 160° C. Polymerization at such a temperature causes a problem in the resultant polymer which enhances the possibility of containing residual endotoxin derived from monomers and other raw materials.
The object of this invention is to provide a preparation process of a dl-lactic acid-glycolic acid-copolymer which is harmless to mankind and has a specific range of properties.
The above object of this invention can be achieved by the following process:
A preparation process, from a lactide and a glycolide, of a dl-lactic acid-glycolic acid-copolymer containing 50-60 mol % of the lactic acid unit and 40-50 mol % of the glycolic acid unit and having an inherent viscosity of 0.4-0.6 in chloroform which comprises conducting the copolymerization at a temperature of 200°-230° C. in the presence of a polymerization regulator, and by using stannous octoate as a catalyst in an amount of 0.005-0.015 wt. % based on the sum of the lactide and the glycolide.
The present inventors have intensively carried out the investigation with an intent to minimize the amount of the tin catalyst used in the polymerization. As a result, it has been found that, in order to obtain the lactic acid-glycolic acid-copolymer having the specific range of properties in this invention, the amount of stannous octoate used as the catalyst is required at least 0.005 wt. % based on the sum of the lactide and the glycolide, but can be lowered to 0.015 wt. % or less. It has also been found that the copolymer obtained by this invented method contains substantially no endotoxin.
The lactide has a slower rate of polymerization than that of the glycolide. Accordingly in the copolymerization of the lactide and the glycolide to obtain a lactic acid-glycolic acid-copolymer having a relatively high content of the lactic acid unit, it has been thought that a larger amount of the stannous octoate catalyst is required as compared with homopolymerization of the glycolide.
However, it has been unexpectedly found that the copolymerization conducted within a specific range of temperature can remarkably reduce the conventional amount of stannous octoate catalyst in a usual polymerization time without causing decrease in desired polymerization degree and variation of ingredient proportion on the resultant copolymer.
The raw material lactide can be prepared by a known process, for example, the process disclosed in the above Japanese Laid-Open Patent No. 64824/1987. The raw material glycolide can also be prepared by a known process, for example, the process described in US Patent No. 2668162. The proportion of these materials in charge is 40-50 mol % of glycolide to 50-60 mol % of lactide.
Stannous octoate used as the catalyst in this invention is preferably prepared prior to use by distilling the commercially available grade under vacuum of 10-3 mmHg. The amount of stannous octoate used is 0.005-0.015 wt. % based on the sum of raw materials, the lactide and the glycolide. When the amount of the catalyst is less than 0.005 wt. %, the polymerization degree does not increase even though the reaction temperature is raised. When the amount is more than 0.015 wt. %, tin content in the polymer is unfavorably increased and the polymerization degree of resultant polymer is also lowered inversely by conducting the polymerization in the temperature range specified in this invention. The generally preferred amount of stannous octoate used is in the range of 0.008-0.012 wt. %.
In the process of this invention, the polymerization must be carried out in the temperature range of 200°-230° C.
When the temperature is lower than 200° C., it takes a long period of time for the polymerization and a relatively large amount of unreacted monomers is also remained by using stannous octoate in the specified range. Therefore, it is required to remove the residual monomers after terminating the reaction by such methods as reprecipitation; molar proportion of the ingredients in the copolymer obtained is also dependent upon the variation of polymerization conditions and always unstable; and the copolymer having the desired properties can not always be obtained.
Deleterious endotoxin existing in the reaction system is decomposed within a shorter period of time at higher temperatures and its biological activity is eliminated. However, if the reaction is conducted at a temperature below 170° C., it is difficult to effectively reduce the content of endotoxin within the polymerization time. On the other hand, if the reaction is conducted at a temperature above 230° C., it results in depolymerization and severe coloring of the resultant copolymer and is hence unsuitable for the process of this invention. The preferred range of the temperature is 215°-225° C. and the temperature is properly determined on the basis of the amount of catalyst.
The polymerization regulator is required also in the process of this invention. Typical examples of the regulator include alcohols such as lauryl alcohol, α-hydroxy lower fatty acids such as dl-lactic acid and glycolic acid, and water. dl-Lactic acid and glycolic acid are preferably used. When lactic acid is employed, the polymerization degree of the copolymer is apt to vary depending upon the moisture content of lactic acid used because of a strongly hygroscopic property of the acid. Therefore it is more preferred to employ a commercially available grade of 90% dl-lactic acid which has a constant moisture content. The amount for use is in the range of 0.25-0.50 wt. % based on total weight of the monomers and properly selected within the range according to the desired properties of the polymer to be obtained, amount of the catalyst and the polymerization temperature.
In the preparation process of this invention, the copolymer having desired properties can be obtained in a relatively short period of time as compared with usual processes. For example, a copolymer is prepared which contains about 55 mol % of the dllactic acid unit and about 45 mol % of the glycolic acid unit and has such physical properties as an inherent viscosity of about 0.5 in a chloroform solution. In this case, reaction time of about 2.0-2.5 hours is sufficient when the polymerization is conducted at a temperature of about 220° C. by using 0.01-0.015 wt. % of stannous octoate.
Examples will hereinafter be illustrated. The properties of the copolymers were measured by the procedures described below.
Weight average molecular weight of the copolymer was measured by gel permeation chromatography in a 0.1 wt. % chloroform solution. The molecular weight was obtained on the basis of polystyrene standard.
Chloroform was used as solvent. Measurement was carried out at 25°±1° C. in a 0.5 g /dl solution. Inherent viscosity was calculated from the following equation.
ηinh= ##EQU1## T0 =reference measuring time T1 =measuring time
C=concentration of solution (0.5)
A 1% solution of the copolymer is deuterated chloroform was added with a small amount of TMS and 1 H-NMR spectrm was measured. Mole fraction of glycolic acid and lactic acid was calculated from peak intensities of methylene hydrogen in the glycolic acid unit and methyl hydrogen in the lactic acid unit.
The copolymer was decomposed with a mixture of sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Tin content was measured by absorptiometry.
The copolymer was dissolved in endotoxin free dimethyl-sulfoxide, diluted 10 times with distilled water and centrifuged. The resultant supernatant liquid was estimated by injection into a rabbit in an amount of 1 ml/kg or by LAL test.
The LAL (Limulus Amberbocyte Lysate) test means the following method.
LAL is respectively added to a sample solution and an aqueous solution having a known concentration of endotoxin. The resulting mixtures are reacted at 37° C. for 30 minutes, added with azo coloring matter to develop color and endotoxin content in the sample is measured by absorbance at 545 nm.
A thick-walled cylindrical stainless steel polymerization vessel equipped with a stirrer was charged with dl-lactide having a melting point of 124°-125° C. and glycolide having a melting point of 83.5-84.5° C. in amounts illustrated in Table 1. The mixture was then added with stannous octoate and polymerization regulator in amounts illustrated in Table 1, deaired for 2 hours under vacuum of 1-5 mmHg abs. and replaced with nitrogen. The resulting mixture was polymerized under the temperature and time conditions illustrated in Table 1 by heating in a mantle heater in a nitrogen atmosphere.
The physical properties of resultant copolymer is illustrated in Table 2.
Weight average molecular weight of the copolymer obtained in Example 1 was 65000. Rabbit fever test of the copolymer obtained in Example 2 resulted in no fever of the rabbit. The amount of endotoxin determined by LAL test was 0.3 pg/ml. The value was remarkably smaller than the value of 173 pg/ml which was regarded as PD50 (minimum amount to cause fever in 50% of rabbits).
The merit of the process in this invention is clearly illustrated in the above examples.
The di-lactic acid-glycolic acid-copolymer containing 50-60 mol % of the dl-lactic acid unit and 40-50 mol % of the glycolic acid unit and having an inherent viscosity of 0.4-0.6 measured in chloroform and a tin metal content of 50 ppm or less can be prepared in a shorter period of time than conventional processes.
In addition, when the reaction is carried out at the temperatures of this invention, the noxious endotoxin existing in the reaction system is effectively decomposed within the polymerization time. Therefore, substantially no endotoxin is contained in the resulting copolymer.
As a result, the dl-lactic acid-glycolic acid-copolymer having a high level of safety can be prepared more efficiently than conventional manufacturing processes, thereby providing a great contribution to the industry.
