Because of its unique combination of cost and performance, DMMC is likely to be appropriate for applications in many manufacturing industries. Several all-terrain bicycle (ATB) applications are presently being commercialized. This thesis focuses on the policy Duralcan should follow to market DMMCs to the manufacturers of ATB applications. More specifically, the thesis identifies the combination of performance and price that Duralcan has to offer before DMMC is incorporated into designs for ATB frames, disc brake rotors, and wheel rims.

  • Elliott Smith Dead at  by Will Bryant
    Pitchfork | http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/news/03-10/22.shtml 22 October 2003 Elliott Smith Dead at by Will Bryant Elliott Smith has died at age , according to an obituary posted late Tuesday on Sweet Adeline, Smith’s official website. Rumors had been circulating on the Internet yesterday afternoon about Smith’s apparent suicide; by early evening, the overwhelm- ing traffic from well-wishers and fans was crashing Sweet Adeline’s discussion board. A handful of posts indicated that representatives from Smith’s label, Dreamworks, were attempting to contact Charlie Ramirez, the webmaster for Sweet Adeline. Within hours, Ramirez posted the following: “As you probably realize, I’m pretty devastated about having to say goodbye to Elliott. it’s never easy to put into words what someone means to you. Elliott was such a lovely man. I will always have his love, kindness, intelligence, humbleness, creativeness, greatness and so much more in me forever because that’s what he was and i’ll always love him for being who he was. I’ll miss you so much. We will all miss you. See you in heaven, Elliott.” Kill Rock Stars, who released Smith’s self-titled solo album and ’s Either/Or, changed their website’s splash page to a pensive photo of Smith this afternoon in silent tribute to the beloved songwriter. “We are deeply saddened by Elliott Smith’s tragic death and send our condolences to his friends and family,” read a statement released by Dreamworks and reported by Reuters’ wire service. “He was perhaps his generation’s most gifted songwriter.
