Progress for America is a major political fund-raising and marketing group that supports conservative issues and candidates.

Progress for America was founded by Tony Feather, a close ally of Karl Rove, in 2001 as a “527″ group, named for a section of the tax code. During the 2004 Presidential campaign, it spent about $45 million on ads praising George W. Bush and attacking John Kerry . It has also run ads supporting Bush’s Supreme Court nominees, as well in support of the Iraq war and the war on terrorism.

527 groups can use the names of candidates in their ads, but they must disclose the names of donors and the amounts received. In 2006, Progress for America has shifted its legal structure, incorporating instead under section 501c(4) of the tax code. This reorganization prevents the group from directly naming candidates it supports but frees it from any requirement to name those who donate money to it or specify how much they gave.

Republican political consulting firm DCI Group, which also helped run the anti-Kerry campaign of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, is also closely involved with Progress for America. Both Brian McCabe and Chris LaCivita have worked for PFA.

Character outline

Mitsuomi is a tall, very muscular man with short White hair and long bangs. He has a scar on his chest and back, but usually wears very tight fitting clothes covering them. The scars were caused by Shin Natsume when Mitsuomi rushed in to stop him from his rampage. He is the older brother of Masataka Takayanagi.

He is a highly skilled and dedicated martial artist. He uses his position and power to suppress other power users in the school. He is feared and viewed as a tyrant by some as a result. He will do whatever is necessary to that end, he frequently fights and kills bulls in his training so his technique will not weaken when the time comes to kill. He also annihilates any group that threatens his control or the order of the school and frequently using dirty tactics to do so. He also seems to still be in love with Maya Natsume, despite their current disagreements.

Mitsuomi can only fight for three minutes due to a condition with his heart (explained later), yet very few can actually last for three minutes against him. Mitsuomi is most likely the strongest character, second only to Bunshichi Tawara.

Mitsuomi, for whatever reason, has a strong distaste for Souichiro Nagi. Though it could be because Mitsuomi fears that Souichiro will become another Shin Natsume, driven insane by his Demon Exorcist powers as Shin was by his Dragon Eyes; however, he is known to hate most Red Feathers.

Relationship with Masataka

It’s worth noting that while early on Mitsuomi and Masataka seem to hate each other (Mitsuomi insults him, beats him up, and tells him to stay away from him after he took over as head of the family). Later Mitsuomi makes comments indicating that is not the case. Masataka does seem to blame his brother for what he has done to their father and the school, but after his fight with undead Fu Chien, he comes to understand his brother a little better.

Mitsuomi shows more concern for his brother as the story progresses. He did seem strangely happy that his brother had surrounded himself with good friends, after he noticed Souchiro’s rage at seeing Masataka on the ground in the bowling alley. At one point he punched Noriko Shindayuu Inue in the face after telling her not to touch Masataka. Many of the times Mitsuomi has acted cold it’s simply a misunderstanding, for example he called the fight with Madoka a “farce” as soon as Masataka took the fight, and refused to watch. Initially it seems it’s because he dislikes Masataka, in actuality its because he knows Madoka has no chance against his brother.

It is starting to be implied Mitsuomi is hard on his brother, because he wants him to be stronger; not because of the Juken Club issue like it was originally indicated.

Techniques & Abilities

Mitsuomi uses many different martial arts, but he is especially proud of the style invented by his family and its secret technique, the Forged Iron Needle attack.

Synopsis

Anime and OVAs

Story Setup Arc

Mitsuomi first appears during an attack on the Juken Club at a bowling alley. Mitsuomi shows up late, but when he arrives he backhands his brother and gives Bob Makihara a “test”. Mitsuomi tries to convince Bob to join him, but Bob declines. Mitsuomi later knocks his brother unconscious saving Kagurazaka.

He later fights Souichiro as he arrives. The fight drags on, but is interrupted by Bunshichi Tawara. As Mitsuomi approached his 3 minute time limit, he goes to the men’s restroom where he collapses. He eventually regains himself and leaves with Emi Isuzu. Bunshichi later reveals the story of the past to Souichiro and Bob.

Flashback Arc

As a freshman, Mitsuomi Takayanagi was taken under the wing of Shin Natsume. Shin announced Mitsuomi would be the next leader of his gang Katana. Shortly after he is challenged by Shin’s younger sister Maya, with Shin’s permission he defeats Maya. The two seem to like each other and a relationship slowly starts to develop. This younger Mitsuomi is similar to Masataka in temperament; more easygoing and far less stern than his later self.

Mitsuomi and Maya.

Mitsuomi quickly starts to become concerned with Shin’s lack of restraint after he nearly kills a guy for fighting Maya. Mitsuomi meets Mana Kuzunoha, Shin’s girlfriend, and discovers with out her skill as a member of the medical club almost everyone Shin has fought would have died. Mana invites him to meet her later, and he does. Due to Mana’s advances Mitsuomi has a running affair with Mana. Mitsuomi is confused as to why Mana has any interest in him. As an answer she gives him a video.

Later, Mitsuomi watches the video with Bunshichi, long time friend of Shin’s and another member of Katana. The video starts boring enough but then radically changes, depicting Shin mercilessly slaughtering people for no apparent reason with Reiki, an evil ceremonial nodachi. Bunshichi comments, that he has known Shin for 10 years, and that is not Shin. Mitsuomi is struck with fear, believing no human could do those things. Bunshichi goes to beat sense into Shin, and discovers Reiki, combined with Shin’s dragon eyes is driving his friend insane. After Shin’s defeat, things seem to return to normal. Mitsuomi’s father, Dōgen Takayanagi, wants to create the ultimate warrior in Mitsuomi. He believes Mitsuomi needs an evil to fight to accomplish this, so he plans to use Shin as this evil. He tries to return Reiki to Shin, but he refuses. As a last resort, Dogen orders Fu Chi’en to attack Maya to drive Shin crazy anyway.

Shin sees Maya injured, and Reiki actually activates even though Shin isn’t in possession of it. Shin kills Fu Chien’s men and rips off Fu Chien’s hands. Mana runs to get Mitsuomi, believing only he could stop Shin. Maya calls out to Shin calming him down just as Mitsuomi bursts in. To stop Mitsuomi Maya calls to him too, enraged with jealously Shin loses it again and blasts Mitsuomi with a large quantity of ki. Afterwards, Mitsuomi is taken to the hospital, but is said to be fine. Later that night, however he vomits up blood and is taken back to the hospital.

Days later at the finals of the school’s tournament, Mitsuomi shows up late and defeats the joint team of 5 of the strongest fighters at Todo Academy by himself. After the fight, Mitsuomi grabs his chest and leaves. He meets Mana outside, who tells him all the matches took 3 minutes total. He collapses on her and vomits blood behind her. She then explains to him what has happened to his body. The large quantity of ki fired into his heart has sped it up, far beyond anything drugs could mimic. As a result his body is becoming super oxygenated, vitalizing his muscles, improving his metabolism, and even improving his brain functions. So three minutes, he gets super human abilities. If he fights longer than that his heart rate will surpass 200 beats per minute, and will rupture. Even if Mitsuomi doesn’t fight he has 2-3 years of life left.

Mitsuomi seemingly defeating Shin.

Shin’s insanity continues to grow, now taking over protection to the extreme. Shin plans to kill anyone who gets close to Maya, even Mitsuomi. Mitsuomi swears to defeat him and free Maya from him, eventually challenging Shin for the president position of the Executive Council. Mitsuomi dominates this fight(not using his dragon eyes), Shin tries to take Mitsuomi out with him and fails. Reiki not wanting Shin to die, activates his Dragon Eyes. Blasting through Mana to hit Mitsuomi, using the Takayanagi Clan’s special technique he “stole,” the Forged Iron Needle attack in order to kill mitsuomi. In the end he returns to normal, and then has Mana assist him in taking his own life, while she too is dying. Mitsuomi is now the president of the Executive Council. Disillusioned by the deaths of his friends and the way his father handled the situation, Mitsuomi decides to overthrow his father as the head of the family.

Mitsuomi restructured the Executive Council so he could suppress other power users. According to Kagesada, it is usually accomplished though overwhelming resources and even the use of dirty tactics. However, Maya blames Mitsuomi for her brother’s death, and believes he has been corrupted by his power. She becomes the captain of the Juken Club and opposes him. Since they both still have feelings for each other, they maintain a bizarre relationship. Eventually, much to Mitsuomi’s disapproval, his younger brother, Masataka also joins the Juken Club.

Aya and the Reiki Arc

As Aya Natsume, Maya’s younger sister, enters Todo Academy it is revealed she has Dragon Eyes, just like Shin. When Aya takes possession of Reiki, Mitsuomi agrees to help Maya find her and take the sword away from her. Eventually culminating in a showdown between Souichiro and Mitsuomi.

At the end of the incident with Aya and Reiki, Mitsuomi agrees to put off all aggression between them until the schools annual tournament.

Manga

The manga is far more graphic than the anime, although this is edited out of the CMX version. The manga has a large quantity of nudity and sex related material, not present in the anime. It is also contains more blood, and shows more graphic techniques than the anime. The manga has proceed much farther than the anime or OVAs.

F Arc

The Takayanagi family has historically been supported by 12 families, represented as the feathers of the Takayanagi family flying phoenix. A new alliance of these families has formed under Mitsuomi (although all 12 families have not joined), that calls themselves ‘F’. While F is supposed to follow Mitsuomi’s orders, they attack the Juken Club despite the order to wait for the tournament. It is revealed Mitsuomi was assisted in taking over his families estate by Sōhaku Kago, the head of F. However, knowing that Souhaku only considers him a puppet ruler, Mitsuomi does not consider F to be his true wing, unlike Emi, Shirō Tagami, or even Bob. This causes power clashes between the two of them. At one point Noriko Shindayuu Inue threatens to take Mitsuomi out of power and put his brother Masataka in his place. In a rare show of affection for his brother, Mitsuomi orders that Masataka is not to be touched. Noriko has the power to control other’s body using her power, and believing she could do the same with Mitsuomi she continues to press him. Unfortunately for her, Mitsuomi has mastered Muukuken, a Chinese style that allows him to punch with out the brain or nervous system playing a role.

Sohaku Arc

After his encounter with Noriko, Mitsuomi agrees to help Maya take Souichiro back from Souhaku, and take Souhaku down. Mitsuomi actually beheads Souhaku, despite Souichiro and Madoka Mawari’s hesitance to kill him. He then joins Maya outside to assist her after her fight with Tetsuhito Kagiroi. It is revealed Souhaku has powers over death and can revive himself.

Tournament Arc

As the tournament approaches, Mitsuomi meets with Mitsuiro Tokuan Shōjō, Hirohiko Myouun Kabane, and strangely his father in the back of a limo. He later adds Mitsuiro and Hirohiko to the Executive Council’s tournament roster. Mitsuomi is shown in a wheelchair after Emi realized the person training with a bull isn’t Mitsuomi but Mitsuiro mirroring his ki. Later Mitsuomi appears fine, as he asks if Emi had anything to do with the strange enhanced abilitiies of other team’s members. Emi says it isn’t her and it is later revealed it was the actions of Nokimi Mayutsubo. Jushi Mataza Tsumuji does claim that Nokimi’s actions are some how important to Mitsuomi’s plan however.

Hirohiko was seemingly ordered by Mitsuomi to guard Nokimi as her goals actually help out Mitsuomi’s. During that time Dogen also reveals what this plan is to Shiro, Emi, and Shiobu; the elimination of all the Red Feathers. This was a highly detailed plan written by Ichiyō Nagi that Dogen found in the Takayanagi Family Library. The simulations of this plan are what is on the chip F was after, certain elements of the plan have just now come together and thus Mitsuomi and Dogen seem to have elected to work together to make it happen, but with distinctly different intentions. The recent increase in ki around the school thanks to Nokimi’s interference has greatly advanced the plan.

Ichiyo’s plan involves a large concentration of ki, special powers, and bringing these powers into the forefront. By collecting all these powers in one “form” they can all be destroyed at once. Dogen believes that form will be a preverbial “god”, essentially the “True Warrior” he tried to turn Mitsuomi into. He intends to control this true warrior to regain power. Mitsuomi points out that if you have the means to create a god, it’s logical that you also have the means to destroy one. If Dogen is right, Mitsuomi says he will take it upon himself to destroy the “byproduct” before Dogen can use it. Mitsuomi clearly thinks this plan will get him killed, Emi even notes he was in the wheelchair before because he is near death. She believes Mitsuiro’s job is to replace him during the times he is wheelchair bound, and possibly even continue to do so after he dies.

Bunshichi dislikes Mitsuomi’s plan to die as he had Mitsuomi promise him no one else would die after Shin’s death. Bunshichi comes to beat some sense into Mitsuomi at the Takayanagi family estate. After a brief fight Bunshichi comes out victorious, however he realizes to late that the Mitsuomi he just beat was really Mitsuiro in disguise. The real Mitsuomi grabs Bunshichi’s lower back and lifts him into the air in an attempt to break his back, saying that Bunshichi doesn’t under stand the intentions of the Flying Phoenix. Bunshichi breaks out of the hold and continues fighting with Mitsuomi. The two finally decide to put their power into one final blow. as they prepare to land their final blow, Bunshichi catches Mitsuomi with what appears to be a Fatal blow, however, after he does, Mitsuomi says that he knows why Shin didn’t choose Bunshichi on that day. he says its because of his compassion that he didn’t choose him and after lands a fatal blow to Bunshichi’s stomach. afterwards he asks why Bunshichi held back, Bunshichi proceeds to tell him, “If I had hit a weak kid like you for real you would have died” Mitsoumi then grabes Bunshichi and holds him up. Bunshichi then asks if Mitsuomi could light his cigarette for him. Mitsoumi along with Isuzu sees that it is still alite. Bunshichi then tells him that all he can taste in the smoke is iron as he appears to die. Afterwards a saddened Mistuomi cries out over his friend’s death with a look of regret in his face. This doesn’t last however, since he turns around to find a furious and saddened Masataka. Masataka then proceeds to beat his council members with only taking nine steps in doing so. he then looks at Mitsuomi and tells him that this Wheel of Fate is pointless and that he will destroy it. Masataka then proceeds to directly slap his brother in the face, stunning everyone, and tells him to wake up already. Mitsuomi then tells Masataka that if he came to stop the war he has no choice but to kill Mitsuomi.

Thomas Mott Osborne (1859 - 1926) was a U.S. prison reformer, industrialist and New York State political reformer. He was also known as “Tom Brown,” a name he gave himself when he spent a week in the Auburn Prison in New York state in 1913.

Thomas Mott Osborn (seated, center) with his four sons

Osborne grew up in Auburn, New York, a hotbed of progressive political activity, particularly anti-slavery activism before and during the American Civil War. His family included a number of pre-eminent reformers, particularly his grandmother, Martha Coffin Wright (m. David Wright) and her sister, Lucretia Coffin Mott, (m. Thomas Mott) who were both organizers of the world’s first women’s rights conference, the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention,with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, in Seneca Falls, New York. Grandmother, Martha Coffin Wright was an unofficial guardian of Harriet Tubman, who spent her late years in Auburn. Martha’s home in Auburn was part of the Underground Railroad where she harbored fugitive slaves. Both women frequented the Osborne household during Thomas Mott Osborne’s upbringing. The third if the Coffin sisters, Ellen, or as she is known to her descendants, Nella, married William Lloyd Garrison, of abolishonist note. Thomas Mott Osborne’s mother, Eliza Wright Osborne, (m. David Munsen Osborne) was also a feminist activist, though of lesser note.

Martha Coffin Wright and her daughter Eliza Wright Osborne’s examples have been the benchmark for the women of the Osborne lineage for achievement down through the generations to the present day. Throughout the Osborne family of the present day, this kind of tireless belief in the value in human dignity is being honored. It is the example of those who lived in the past, Martha Wright, Thomas Osborne, Eliza Osborne, Lucretia Mott, Helen Osborne Storrow, that has generated the inspiration of the current generations to give to humanity their own young lives and life’s work to fight against injustice.

In 1886, Osborne was made president of his family’s manufacturing company, DM Osborne & Co., which was one of the nation’s largest makers of agricultural implements. In 1903, the family sold the company to the International Harvester Trust, leaving Osborne to pursue his interests in social reform and public service. He was elected mayor of Auburn, and in 1913, he was picked by New York Governor William Sulzer to chair a new State Commission on Prison Reform.

His most famous effort on behalf of the Commission was his decision to experience the conditions of a New York State prison first-hand. On September 29th, Osborne began a week in the general population in New York’s Auburn Prison under the name of “Tom Brown,” Inmate number 33,333x. In spite of the pseudonym, his identity in the prison system was not a secret; he addressed the prison officials and inmates and explained his mission at the beginning of his week inside.

His diary of those experiences, published as Within These Walls, made him a prominent crusader for improvement of prison conditions. Osborne then formed the Mutual Welfare League with released prisoner Jack Murphy; the League succeeded in having the prison “rule of silence” then in effect lifted, and in eliminating the so-called “Blue Sunday” rule, which kept inmates locked in their cells in honor of the Sabbath (except while attending church services).

Osborne was appointed warden of Sing Sing prison in Ossining, New York on December 1, 1914. He resigned in 1917.

After Sing Sing, Osborne was put in charge of the “Alcatraz of the East” - the Portsmouth Naval Prison in Kittery, Maine. In that post he sought to improve prison life within the Navy’s correctional system.

Osborne retired from Portsmouth in 1920; he died on October 20, 1926, at the age of 67, and was buried in a Portsmouth prison uniform.

In 1932, the Mutual Welfare League and several other organizations Osborne had created were merged and re-organized as the Osborne Association. The Association still exists today, and is devoted to helping released inmates adjust to their lives post-incarceration.

Among Osborne’s other proteges were Progressive Era journalist John Silas Reed and Louis McHenry Howe, who became FDR’s political strategist. FDR, Howe and Osborne were Upstate New York’s best-known foes of Tammany Hall and William Randolph Hearst.

The White Room was a 1991 album by British house music group The KLF. Originally scheduled to be released in 1989 as the soundtrack to a film of the same name, the album’s direction was changed after both the film and the original soundtrack LP were cancelled at the last moment. Most of the tracks on the original version of the album are present in the final release, albeit in significantly remixed form.

The White Room was supposed to be followed by a darker, harder complementary album called The Black Room, but the latter was never released due to the KLF’s retirement from the music business in 1992.

Background

The White Room was conceived as the soundtrack to a road movie, also called The White Room, about the KLF’s search for the mystical White Room that would enable them to be released from their contract with Eternity. Parts of the movie were filmed in the Sierra Nevada region of Spain, using the money that the duo had made as The Timelords with the 1988 UK novelty pop No. 1 “Doctorin’ the Tardis”. The soundtrack album contained pop-house versions of some of the KLF’s earlier “Pure Trance” singles, as well as new songs.

The film project was fraught with difficulties and setbacks, including dwindling funds. Drummond and Cauty had released “Kylie Said to Jason” (sample (help·info)), a single from the original soundtrack, in the hopes that it could “rescue them from the jaws of bankruptcy”; it flopped commercially, however, failing to make even the UK top 100. As a consequence, The White Room film project was put on hold, and the KLF abandoned the musical direction of the soundtrack and single. Neither the film nor its soundtrack were formally released, although bootleg copies of both exist.

Meanwhile, the KLF’s single “What Time Is Love?”, which had originally been released in 1988 and largely ignored by the public, was generating acclaim within the underground clubs of continental Europe; according to KLF Communications, “The KLF were being feted by all the ‘right’ DJs”. This prompted Drummond and Cauty to pursue the acid house tone of their Pure Trance series. A further Pure Trance release, “Last Train to Trancentral”, followed.

In October 1990, the KLF launched a series of singles with an upbeat pop-house sound they dubbed “Stadium House”. Songs from The White Room soundtrack were re-recorded with rap and more vocals (by guests labelled “Additional Communicators”), a sample-heavy pop-rock production, and crowd noise samples. The “Stadium House” versions of “What Time Is Love?” and “3 a.m. Eternal” were immediate hits, with “3 a.m. Eternal” becoming the KLF’s only number-one release. These “Stadium House” tracks made up a large part of The White Room when it was eventually released in March 1991, substantially reworked from the original soundtrack version.

Of the original mixes recorded for the film soundtrack, only “Kylie Said to Jason” and a version of “Build a Fire” saw legitimate commercial release.

Critical reception

Allmusic said that The White Room “represents the commercial and artistic peak of late-’80s acid-house” and Q magazine called it “strikingly imaginative” and “a more subtle form of subterfuge” than previous works. A retrospective review by Splendid Magazine thought some of the tracks to be filler and the album “silly” in places, but were extremely impressed by the “Stadium House” songs. “As providers of perverse, throwaway, three-minute pop-song manna,” they concluded, “the KLF were punk rock, the Renaissance, Andy Warhol and Jesus Christ all rolled into one.”

In 1993, NME staff and contributors voted the album the 81st best of all time. The Guardian listed it at the 89th best British album of all time and Scotland on Sunday listed the album in their “Essential 100″. Readers of Scotland’s Is This Music? magazine voted The White Room the 44th best “Scottish” LP of all time. In 2000 Q magazine placed it at number 89 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.

Director and writer Mark Jay first had the idea for this feature film while watching teenagers pose by their customised cars. He initially talked with the drivers before engaging in more specialist research into this hobby.

During the filming of the movie Film 2006 made a behind the scenes feature. .

The score was composed by Sacha Putnam and Fatboy Slim’s Brighton based Skint Records supplied the tracks with additional music from Lucky Jim, The Young Offenders’ Institute, Lo Fidelity All Stars, Doll And The Kicks, Matthew Garrity and Fatboy Slim himself. .

It received an industry screening at the Berlin Film Festival in February 2007. and had been sceduleded to premiere at CineCity 2007 in Brighton, but had to be pulled from the schedule.

Reaction

It has been described by the press as having having shades of Quadrophenia and a hint of Grease.

Group 70 is a non-profit educational organization comprised of people from many countries all around the world and many walks of life seeking to make astronomy available to the peoples of the world. They began in 1988 with the goal of building a large amateur telescope, a 70 inch (1.8 m) astronomical instrument. Upon completion it would be the largest telescope in the world built by and for amateur astronomers. Beyond building a large aperture telescope, they offer related instrumentation and services to those in amateur, professional and educational fields of astronomy.

Sulfide stress cracking

  (Redirected from Sulphide stress cracking)
Jump to: navigation, search

Sulfide stress cracking, or sulfide stress corrosion cracking (SSCC), is a special corrosion type, a form of stress corrosion cracking. Susceptible alloys, especially steels, react with hydrogen sulfide, forming metal sulfides and elementary atomic hydrogen. Atomic hydrogen, created as a product of a cathodic reaction in the presence of H₂S, diffuses into the metal matrix.

High content of nickel in the steels greatly improves their resistance to SSC. This type of corrosion is worst at temperatures around 80 °C (176 °F).

Sulfide stress cracking has special importance in gas and oil industry, as the materials being processed there (natural gas and crude oil) often contain considerable amount of hydrogen sulfide. Equipment that comes in contact with such high-sulfur materials has to be rated for sour service NACE TM0177-96 Standard .

“High Temperature Hydrogen Attack” does not rely on atomic hydrogen. At high temperature and high hydrogen partial pressure, hydrogen can diffuse into carbon steel alloys. In susceptible alloys, the hydrogen combines with carbon within the alloy and forms methane. The methane molecules create a pressure which leads to embrittlement and even cracking of the metal.

SSC is a low temperature (temperature where water is liquid) effect of H₂S in an aqueous environment and Sulfidation is the term used for the high temperature (>450F) sulfur corrosion.
