The Crimson will go for a third-straight win Tuesday against Albany (Gil Talbot).
The Storyline
The Harvard men's lacrosse team will make its debut inside Harvard Stadium as it puts its two-game win streak on the line against Albany Tuesday, March 26 at 7 p.m.
A live video stream featuring Ben Altsher and Andy Towne on the call and live stats will be available through GoCrimson.com by clicking here.
Last Time Out
Peter Schwartz and Carl Zimmerman recorded three points each and the visiting Harvard men's lacrosse team had an answer for every Dartmouth run in a 9-6 win Saturday afternoon at Scully-Fahey Field.
After goals by Zimmerman and Schwartz late in the first quarter and early in the second, respectively, gave the Crimson a 2-0 lead, Dartmouth rallied to tie once and get with again a goal on two other occasions. Each time, Harvard countered with two goals, keeping the Big Green from ever claiming the lead.
Schwartz and Zimmerman each scored two goals and assisted on another, as the Crimson won for the third time in the last four games. Five other Harvard players scored once each, and Harry Krieger made 13 saves, including five in the fourth quarter.
Scouting Albany
Albany, which is receiving votes in both the Nike/Inside Lacrosse Media Poll and the USILA Div. I Coaches Poll, enters play Saturday coming off an 18-12 loss to Bucknell to fall to 4-3 on the year.
The Great Danes are led by Lyle Thompson who has turned in 47 points this season on 16 goals and 31 assists. Ty Thompson has added 19 goals and seven assists for 26 points while Miles Thompson has chipped in 17 goals and six assists for 23 points. Blaze Riorden has seen the bulk of the time in goal and sports a 4-1 record with a .465 save percentage and a goals against average of 13.97. Kevin Glueckert is the team's primary face off specialist and has won 80 of the 177 face offs he has taken.
Inside the Series
Harvard and Albany met for the first time ever in 2011 with the Great Danes earning a 12-11 victory over the Crimson. Daniel Eipp recorded a hat trick in the loss while Dean Gibbons '11 added four points on two goals and two assists.
Up Next
Harvard will host No. 12/10 Duke at Harvard Stadium Saturday, March 30 at 7 p.m. live on NBC Sports Network.
The Crimson has won two straight and three of its last four to improve to 4-3 overall and 1-1 in the Ivy League. Harvard has not won three straight games since 2011 when it defeated Princeton, Yale and Penn to reach the Ivy League Tournament finals.
Player of the Week
Goalkeeper Harry Krieger has earned a pair of player of the week honors this season, most recently receiving the award from the Ivy League on March 25. The senior turned away 28 shots while allowing just 11 goals as the Crimson defeated both Bryant and Dartmouth, finishing the week with a .718 save percentage and a 5.50 goals against average. Krieger was also named the NEILA Player of the Week on March 11 after recording 12 saves in Harvard's 8-6 win over Georgetown.
Krieger currently ranks third in the Ivy League and 15th in the NCAA with an 8.29 goals against average. His .586 save percentage leads the Ancient Eight and is the 10th best in the nation, while his 11.71 saves per game also pace the conference and rank him 14th in the country.
Young Gun
Freshman Devin Dwyer currently ranks ninth in the Ivy League with 3.00 points per game and is seventh in the conference with 1.57 assists per game. Dwyer has recorded a least one point in all seven of Harvard's games this season and has tallied multiple points in five outings.
Getting Defensive
Freshmen Robert Duvnjak has started six games for the Crimson on defense and entered the week ranked 21st in the NCAA with 1.83 caused turnovers per game. Duvnjak made his collegiate debut against UMass and registered four caused turnovers, then added four more as Harvard defeated Georgetown.
Duvnjak's 11 caused turnovers are six more than any other member of the Crimson while his 16 ground balls rank third on the team.
White Hot
Senior Alex White registered a hat trick in each of the Crimson's first two games and currently ranks third on the team lead with 15 points (12g, 3a) from the midfield. White entered the season with 31 career points (19g, 12a) after having played in 41 of Harvard's 42 games over the previous three seasons.
Facing Off
Senior Rick Molé had a career day at the face off X against Brown, winning 15-of-20 draws while collecting four ground balls. Molé, who entered the year having taken just 32 face offs in his career, boasts a .527 winning percentage at the X this season as the team's primary specialist.
Staying Grounded
Junior Gabriel Mendola set a career-high with 10 ground balls at Brown. He is the first Crimson to recorded double-digit ground balls since Keegan Michel did so on April 10 of last season with 10 against Quinnipiac.
Sharing the Wealth
15 different members of the Crimson have combined to score 60 goals this season. Alex White leads the way with 12 tallies on the year, while Devin Dwyer has added 10.
Home Field Advantage
Harvard is 14-5 at home under Chris Wojcik '96, The Frisbie Family Head Coach for Harvard Men's Lacrosse, including a 3-1 mark in 2013. The Crimson boasts a 6-3 mark in Harvard Stadium and an 8-2 record at Soldiers Field Lacrosse Stadium.

CLASS Act
Jason Gonos has been named as one of 20 candidates for the 2013 Senior CLASS Award. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition.
Gonos has anchored Harvard's defensive unit for the last three years, but even more impressive than his play on the field has been his work within the community. In November, he organized the Crimson's involvement in Lacrosse Mustache Madness which raised $6,979 for the HEADstrong Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the fight against blood cancer. Gonos has also spent time working with Happy Helpers for the Homeless in his home state of Maryland, helping to feed and clothe the homeless in Glen Burnie, Md.

Effective Management—Scientific Techniques vs Practical Experience
by GORDON L. MURRAY Partner, Executive Office
Adapted from an address given before the Financial Executives Institute, Columbus—November 1964
I ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED the material for this talk in response to a request from the Los Angeles Chapter of The Financial Executives Institute that I speak on this specific subject. They asked that the talk touch on four points:
Effectiveness of Operations Research and Pure Mathematics vs. Practical
Are computers taking over and financial executives becoming obsolete?
Is the financial man relinquishing part of his responsibilities to new specialists—by default, by lack of training, or unwillingness to accept new changes?
What is effective management and how may the financial man keep himself
abreast of new developments?
The Los Angeles request ended up by suggesting, "Please make this controversial, if you want to."
I liked this last point but the fact is, I don't have to. The very essence of the subject matter is controversial. Business literature is replete with comment on this subject. The whole matter is being churned, analyzed, and discussed and no clear pattern of thought appears
to have emerged.
Comment runs the whole range from speculation of the Jules Verne science-fiction variety to a cynical attitude that scientific management-operations research-mathematical sciences are a fad without substance and without a real contribution to make in business affairs. A speaker on this subject has several choices open to him. He can dream and speculate that the mathematician and the computer are about to inherit, if not the earth, at least the management of our business affairs. He can speculate and philosophize on the socio-economic effect of the math-science-computer trend. On the other hand he can debunk the whole subject and conclude that all this is not for him or his company—that the subject is "way-out"—and he can be amused by it all.
I too like to dream and speculate about what may be in the future, but circumstances require that I earn my living by dealing with what is here today. It is difficult to "sell" what "may be" as a professional

A roundabout is a circular intersection where traffic flows around a center island.
Advantages of roundabouts:
The roundabout concept was first invented in the early 1900's and deployed throughout Europe and America. A modern roundabout has three major characteristics compared to its predecessors, traffic circles and rotaries:
During the 1950's there was a loss of confidence in roundabouts, due mainly to the problem of traffic locking and the increasing number of accidents. Many were replaced by traffic signals.
In 1966, the off-side priority rule (an entering vehicle gives way to vehicles in the roundabout) and the yield at entry operation enhanced roundabout capacity and safety performance. The success of this modern roundabout inspired renewed interest in roundabouts worldwide.
The modern roundabout finally arrived in the United States in 1990 in Summerlin, a major Las Vegas residential subdivision. When the first roundabout freeway interchange in the nation was built in 1995 (at the I-70 interchange in Vail, Colorado), roundabouts then numbered about a dozen nationally. Roundabouts have since been constructed in every state including Alaska and Hawaii.
As of January 2006, the number of modern roundabouts in the USA had leaped to around 1,000. Roundabout proponents anticipate that roundabouts will be built in the United States by the thousands in the near future.

The central island is the raised area in the center of a roundabout around which traffic circulates.
A splitter island is a raised or painted area on an approach used to separate entering from exiting traffic, deflect and slow entering traffic, and provide storage space for pedestrians crossing the road in two stages.
The circulatory roadway is the curved path used by vehicles to travel in a counterclockwise fashion around the central island.
If required on smaller roundabouts to accommodate the wheel tracking of large vehicles, an apron is the mountable portion of the central island adjacent to the circulatory roadway.
A yield line is a pavement marking used to mark the point of entry from an approach into the circulatory roadway and is generally marked along the inscribed circle. Entering vehicles must yield to any circulating traffic coming from the left before crossing this line into the circulatory roadway.
Accessible pedestrian crossings should be provided at all roundabouts. The crossing location is set back from the yield line, and the splitter island is cut to allow pedestrians, wheelchairs, strollers, and bicycles to pass through.
Bicycle treatments at roundabouts provide bicyclists the option of traveling through the roundabout either as a vehicle or as a pedestrian, depending on the bicyclist's level of comfort.
Landscaping buffers are provided at most roundabouts to separate vehicular and pedestrian traffic and to encourage pedestrians to cross only at the designated crossing locations. Landscaping buffers can also significantly improve the aesthetics of the intersection.

Motorcyclists and bicyclists
Large vehicles
Bicyclists should enter roundabouts just as they enter a stop sign or signal controlled intersection without auxiliary lanes. On the approach to the entry, a bicyclist should claim the lane. Right-turning cyclists should keep to the right side of the entry lane; others should be near the center of the lane.
Cyclists have three options upon approaching a roundabout:
Pedestrians have the right-of-way within crosswalks at a roundabout. However, pedestrians must not suddenly leave a curb or other safe waiting place and walk into the path of a vehicle if it is so close that it is an immediate hazard.

For the gravy
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 250ml chicken stock (a cube is fine)
Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Have a shelf ready in the middle of the oven without any shelves above it.
Scatter 1 roughly chopped onion and 2 roughly chopped carrots over the base of a roasting tin that fits the whole 1 ½ kg chicken, but doesn't swamp it.
Season the cavity of the chicken liberally with salt and pepper, then stuff with 2 lemon halves and a small bunch of thyme, if using.
Sit the chicken on the vegetables, smother the breast and legs all over with 25g softened butter, then season the outside with salt and pepper.
Place in the oven and leave, undisturbed, for 1 hr 20 mins – this will give you a perfectly roasted chicken. To check, pierce the thigh with a skewer and the juices should run clear.
Carefully remove the tin from the oven and, using a pair of tongs, lift the chicken to a dish or board to rest for 15-20 mins. As you lift the dish, let any juices from the chicken pour out of the cavity into the roasting tin.
While the chicken is resting, make the gravy. Place the roasting tin over a low flame, then stir in 1 tbsp flour and sizzle until you have a light brown, sandy paste.
Gradually pour in 250ml chicken stock, stirring all the time, until you have a thickened sauce.
Simmer for 2 mins, using a wooden spoon to stir, scraping any sticky bits from the tin.
Strain the gravy into a small saucepan, then simmer and season to taste. When you carve the bird, add any extra juices to the gravy.
Recipe Tip
Other rulesAlways leave your chicken to rest for at least 15 mins before carving. This will give you a juicy chicken that is a lot easier to carve. For a more succulent chicken, take it out of the fridge one hour before cooking to bring it up to room temperature. This rule applies to any meat you are roasting. Don't worry about turning or basting your chicken as it roasts. Yes, these can give good results, but are fiddly for the beginner, plus every time you open the oven you lose heat.
Recipe Tip
The golden rule to roast chicken…A 1.5kg chicken will be perfectly roasted after 1 hr 20 mins at 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. It doesn't matter what you stuff into it, rub or sprinkle over it or put around it, this timing never changes. Remember this and you will always be able to roast a chicken.
Recipe Tip
Barney says...Ever wondered how professional cooks turn out impressive dishes without even referring to a recipe? It's simply down to basic rules, which have been followed so often that they become second nature, guaranteeing the dish will work every time. You can do the same thing at home – once you've learnt the must-dos, cooking becomes easier and you can relax and start to experiment more, knowing the end result will always be delicious. Simply follow the rules and you won't go wrong.

ASHDOD, ISRAEL – Members of the Rabbinic Cabinet of the Jewish Federations of North America blessed a group young doctors who have made Aliyah from the FSU, in a meeting held at the Beit Canada Absorption Center in Ashdod, on February 10th.
Galina, 30, wanted to make Aliyah since she first visited family in Israel from Smolensk, Russia when she was twelve.
"I felt already then that Israel was my place," she said. "Since then, I had the dream but I did not have the money, opportunity, nor the support. It is only thanks to this program that I could make my dream come true."
While noting that, "there have been challenges; my dream was born when I was a child, and now I am an adult," Galina added that she felt "supported by The Jewish Agency," and said she was sure she made the right decision.
Israel is in need of about 200 new doctors annually, and this particular program is designed especially towards their needs. The program includes accommodation for the doctors and their families, five months of Hebrew-language instruction, an additional ulpan focusing on medical terms, a five-month course to prepare for the Israeli medical licensing exam, and assistance in applying for residencies.
"This place is amazing, I'd like to do an ulpan here," said Kiev-born Rabbi Tina Grimberg of Darchei Noam, Toronto's Reconstructionist Synagogue.
In addition to all the career assistance, new immigrants also enjoy cultural and sports activities at the center, as well as trips around the country in order to get better acquainted with Israel, and potential places of employment. The program liaises with medical-field firms who can offer positions for the olim. The doctors also serve in the IDF in a professional capacity up to the age of 32.
>Another medical practitioner, Lena, first found out that she was Jewish at the age of 14. In the Ukraine, her grandfather heard about a Jewish Agency summer camp and encouraged her to attend. There she heard about Na'ale where young Jews from around the world are afforded the opportunity to finish their schooling in Israel and subsequently lived on Kibbutz Ketura as a high school student. She later returned to the Ukraine to study medicine, all the while knowing she would return to Israel as an olah.
The students have a range of experience and are at different stages of qualification. While some have at least ten years' experience in their specialties, others will do their first residency in Israel.
The rabbis met with the students and chatted with them in Hebrew, and visited their classrooms, whose walls are dotted with pictures of Hebrew-labeled physiological systems.
The Rabbinic Cabinet consists of over 1000 rabbis from all the major religious streams in America. One of the tenets of its overall mission is to give rabbis the tools to build community by actualizing the principle of Klal Yisrael, which stands alongside The Jewish Agency's vision of connecting the global Jewish family. In this light, the 33 rabbis came to connect their North American communities with Jews in Kiev, Ukraine, and with Israelis and new olim in Israel.
At the moving conclusion of the event, Rabbi Adam Kligfeld of the Temple Beth Am for Conservative Judaism in Los Angeles read Rambam's Prayer for Physicians in Hebrew, and Rabbi Grimberg gave the blessing in Russian.

Tech Update
High-Payload Robot Geared Toward Machine Tending
ABB Robotics, Auburn Hills, MI, has introduced the 1.85-m reach, 15-kg-payload IRB 2600ID (Integrated Dress) robot, which features a flexible conduit in its upper arm/wrist for routing cables and hoses for signals, air and power. It's designed for a range of material-handling and machine-tending applications, and with the internally routed dress pack, the movement of hoses and cables is completely predictable, simplifying offline programming. Without needing to account for swinging cables when simulating robot systems, the time required for fine-tuning programs is minimized by as much as 90 percent. Applications include case packing, carton handling, palletizing, and press and machine-tool tending.
The IRB 2600ID can be mounted in multiple configurations and features a work envelope that extends well below its baseline, making it ideal for machine-mounted applications. With hoses and cables firmly secured and protected, exposure to cutting fluids and other sources of overall wear is minimized.ABB Robotics: 248/391-8400; www.abb.com/robotics

I'm googling around for some weeks but I've some difficulties to figure out where to begin my project and which part of the available Geo stacks are mandatory for my needs.
I have a strong Java background, some interest for Python and totally open to learn some new technologies.
As an hobby and because it is close related to my job, I plan to develop a web MMO strategic wargame heavily based on an interactive maps (basically to display the tactical situation and give orders to units).
Here is what I was thinking about :
- Geoserver to serve maps and layers.
- PostGIS to store geodatas.
- GeoExt to display in a browser
- Apache Click as the Java application server (combat resolution, unit management)
I managed to deploy a GeoServer (war in tomcat, easier is difficult) I managed to install PostGreSQL I run some tutorials about GeoExt. I need to experience Javascript a little bit. I played with Apache Click to serve pages and forms.
Here is the flow I was thinking of :
- GeoServer serves the map backgrounds and layers constructed from PostGIS data for static objects (Cities, Victory Points, Territories, ...)
- Apache Click generates HTML+GeoExt pages in the client browser.
- Apache Click sends CRUD commands to PostGIS in response of user's action.
- [something] updates regularly PostGIS (movements, combat resolution, unit characteristics management...)
- Apache Click generates dynamically KML files to live update the browser (KML NetworkLink ?) for units display with icons, zones (range, detection...)...
And now, the missing brick in my little wall :
- How can I implement a "sea/land" layer. For example, to invalidate a ship movement passing on land ? GeoServer layer ? Zones defined in PostGIS ?
- Is the following flow reactive enough to update the map after a user action : HTML/GeoExt event -> Apache Click process -> PostGIS update -> GeoServer layer update -> HTML/GeoExt display
The main point is : where are the data if I want to use it for calculation and update ? GeoServer static layer or PostGIS tables ?

Wis. Senate passes change to bill publication
The Wisconsin state Senate passed a proposal Tuesday to take away the power of the secretary of state to delay publishing bills passed by the Legislature.
The proposal, which passed on a party line vote in the Republican-controlled Senate, is the second bill introduced this session and the first to be voted on. It comes after Democratic Secretary of State La Follette angered Republicans in 2011 by delaying publication of a bill that effectively ended collective bargaining for public workers and required them to pay more for health insurance and pensions.
"It's ridiculous," La Follette said of the bill and how quickly Republicans were moving it. "Like a lot of things they've been doing, it's being rushed through, which is a real affront to our democracy."
New laws must be published before they can take effect, and the secretary of state now controls that process. He can wait up to 10 days after a governor has signed to a bill to tell the Legislative Reference Bureau to publish it and setting a date for it to appear in the official state newspaper, the Wisconsin State Journal.
The proposal would remove the secretary of state from the process and require the Legislative Reference Bureau to publish bills the day after they are signed by the governor, unless another date is specified.
The bill "will gut the opportunity of the secretary of state's participation in the legislative process," said Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison. "It's a bill aimed at the one Democrat left in state public office. So much for bipartisanship."
Republicans said the bill wasn't about payback, but about making sure no secretary of state has the ability to block the will of the Legislature by delaying the enactment of a new law.
"We're not trying to pull a fast one," Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said. "We're not trying to take any power away from Doug La Follette."
La Follette said in 2011 that he planned to wait the full 10 days before publishing the collective bargaining bill pushed by Walker and other Republicans.
Before the 10 days was up, Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi issued an order blocking La Follette from publishing the bill because she believed the open meetings law had been violated in the process of passing the measure. Republicans ordered the Legislative Reference Bureau to publish the bill anyway on its website, bypassing La Follette.
In June 2011, after the state Supreme Court upheld the law, La Follette again waited the full 10 days before publishing it, saying he wanted to afford as much time as possible for the public to understand the law.
He ran last year in a Democratic primary to take on Walker in a recall election but came in fourth. Walker easily defeated the primary's winner, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.
The measure that passed 17-14 Tuesday is the latest in a series of steps taken by the Legislature and governors over the years to remove duties like overseeing elections and maintaining notaries public from the secretary of state's office. Currently, La Follette's office's limited responsibilities include publishing bills and keeping the official state seal.
La Follette, who has been secretary of state all but four years since 1975, said the publication of bills was never an issue until 2011.
"It's a solution seeking a problem that doesn't exist," he said of the proposal sponsored by Sen. Glenn Grothman, R-West Bend.
That bill passed the Senate last year but died in the Assembly. It must clear both and be signed by Walker before it would take effect.
A spokeswoman for Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said he supports it and looks forward to quickly passing it. Walker has yet to take a position on the proposal.
La Follette isn't optimistic he'll be able to stop the bill.
"I can't do a whole lot," he said. "I can do what I've already done. I've explained to them why this is a bad and unnecessary idea."

(Eclectus roratus)
Almost always during discussion about the eclectus parrot the first feature talked about is the amazing difference between male and female of the species: the overall bright green plumage of one sex and the basically red and blue plumage of the other sex. The really unusual factor, however, is the green bird is the male and the red-blue bird is the female. This lead to people initially expecting these were an entirely different species. Eclectus parrots are rather noisy birds in the aviary, emitting a harsh, raucous call.
Eclectus parrots are closely associated with lowland tropical rainforest. They can be found northernmost islands in Torres Strait and eastern Cape York Peninsula, north Queensland and New Guinea region, from the Moluccas and Lesser Sundra Island, Indonesia, to New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.
Eclectus parrots eat seeds, nuts, fruits, berries and nectar procured in the treetops. They are particularly fond of the fruits of Panadanus and Parinari nonda.
The breeding season seems to be quite protracted for occupied nests have been recorded from mid July to January.

Making its Mark in the Medical-Device Market
Want to uncover some power in the medical-device marketplace? Look no further than Micro Stamping Corp., Somerset, NJ, and its Micro Medical Technologies division. For 25 years, the company has evolved into a major supplier of medical subassemblies and assemblies, precision high-speed stampings and multislide parts. It also conducts new-product development and design-for-manufacture engineering studies, and has developed expertise in a number of other manufacturing techniques —metal- and plastic-injection molding, tube fabrication, automated and cleanroom assembly, CNC machining, wire-EDM and every finishing operation under the sun including electropolishing and sharpening. Micro Medical boasts it's ready to be the medical industry's "supply chain, from concept to commercialization."
"Customers in this market represent the most innovative and active developers of new products in the world," says Carl Savage, vice president of sales and marketing. "And they require their suppliers to be the same—innovative and creative, and very diversified."
Rolling Tube in a Prog Die
Since 1986 when the firm stamped its first ligation clip for a medical OEM, Micro Medical quickly found that the catalyst for allowing it to grow its share of medical-device market would hinge on its ability to perform inhouse as many value-added and secondary processes as possible. The results speak for themselves—it now supplies parts and assemblies to nearly every medical-device company
Micro Stamping recently invested in a new high-speed Bruderer press with an integrated inline inspection system (shown here). The system inspects lead-frame stampings at 1200 strokes/min., 12-out
per stroke.
Among its claims to fame has been the development of a proprietary progressive-die process to manufacture a rolled tube to replace traditional drawn tubing. Developed about 10 years ago for the manufacture of endoscopic instruments, the progressive-die tube-stamping process reduces part costs by as much as 75 percent, partly because features such as slots and holes can be added in the die rather than as costly secondary processes.
"We can stamp tube from 3- to 10-mm dia.," says director of technical services Frank Jankoski, "with wall thickness from 0.010 to 0.030 in., and perform operations such as lancing, coining and embossing."
The process was recently enhanced as a testament to the firm's dedication to continuous improvement—a must in the medical-supply game—by using laser welding to seal the seam in the rolled tubing.
"Up until a few years ago, we used to seal the joint by covering the tube with a piece of shrink tubing or by spraying on a seal coating," adds Jankoski. "But that added 0.010 to the tube OD."
Now the firm can laser-weld the seams, having optimized an automated welding process to fine-tune laser power, beam-spot size and welding speed to minimize tube distortion. It also integrated straightening and leak-testing stations into the process.
"We were early adopters of laser technology for manufacturing," says Savage, harking back to 1994 when the firm developed laser-assisted metalforming. "We developed that process for manufacture of titanium ligating clips, where the wire used to form the clip must be bent back on itself on a 0.014-in. arbor. By firing a laser into the die, timed with the action of the press, we laser-zone anneal the material to avoid tears and cracks in the clip."
Doing More with Lasers
Yet one more example of Micro Stamping's ongoing development of laser expertise is the recent redesign of a relatively large stamped part (6 to 12 in. by 3 in., of 0.060- to 0.070-in. stainless steel) into a fabricated part. "Burrs and scrap rate led the customer to seek another solution," says Jankoski. "We looked at the complex-shaped part and proposed, at a very large capital investment to us, to laser-cut the part. Scrap rate was reduced by 65 percent and secondary edge finishing eliminated, helping to justify our machinery investment as well as making the customer happy."
"We take reinvesting in this business very seriously," adds director of marketing Al Carolonza. "Even in this troubling economy, we continue to invest 10 to 14 percent of our gross annual sales back into the company, whether it be new capital equipment (such as the Trumpf 5000-W laser-cutting machine referenced above) or into our research and development efforts."
Inline Inspection High-Speed Stampings
Along with its new laser-cutting machine, Micro Stamping also recently invested in a new high-speed Bruderer press with an integrated inline inspection system. While not specifically for medical parts (Micro Stamping also supplies the electronics, automotive and aerospace industries), the state-of-the-art press
In its ongoing efforts to vertically integrate new core manufacturing competencies, Micro Medical invested in this electrochemical surface grinder (from Everite Machine Products) to bring medical-instrument sharpening inhouse.
"We're inspecting lead-frame stampings on that new press line at 1200 strokes/min.," says Savage, "at 12-out per stroke. To develop that type of technology, we rely on our equipment-vendor partners such as Bruderer, as well as Trumpf and others, to help recommend the right equipment for the tasks at hand and for where we're trying to develop expertise, and grow with our customers. We're responsible for fit, form and function for the product we manufacture, not als the case with other industries such as automotive and appliance. We're expected to study process FMEAs (failure mode and effects analysis) and perform design of experiments to better understand our processes and develop solid, robust manufacturing processes."
Growing Vertically
Vertical integration at Micro Medical Technologies reached a new level late in 2004 when it ramped up commitment to providing R &D support and design-for-manufacturability engineering services by building the Frank Semcer Development Center. Named for the company's founder, the 4000-sq.-ft. center is a self-contained think tank and prototype-development unit separate from production. Staffed by five engineers and five tool and die makers, and managed by Jankoski, the development center houses a full complement of equipment, including an Agie wire-EDM machine, a laser-welding cell, programmable Amada press brake and preproduction stamping presses.
"Some 80 percent of our medical projects begin in the development center," says Jankoski. "We work directly with our customers' engineering teams as early as possible in new-product development projects, to assist with design-for-manufacturability (DFM) activities. All of the major medical companies have embraced DFM in the last few years, and our expertise there has positioned us well with the OEMs as this trend has taken off. With medical products, making a part to print is not enough."
The development center also supports Micro Medical's efforts to new core manufacturing competencies. Citing one recent case, the firm decided to develop instrument sharpening as a core competency and bring that work inhouse.
"Very few companies offer this service," says Carolonza, "so we went out and developed that expertise here, including electropolishing of sharpened products coming off of our electrochemical surface grinder. We put the capital commitment behind the decision and trained operators, even before we approached any of our customers with the idea. Then we submitted full revalidation packages based on each customer's unique requirements, per ISO 13485 (the management system for the design and manufacture of medical devices)."
"If we were to subcontract for some of these services," Savage continues, "we'd be paying for another company to develop its expertise. We'd rather invest in our own health and well-being and develop new areas of expertise inhouse." MF

The Pittsburgh Steelers visit the Denver Broncos on Sunday, and the general consensus is that Tim Tebow and the Broncos will be drummed out of the playoffs in short order. And why wouldn't people think that?
Tebow was putrid in his final two games this season, games the Broncos were desperately trying to win. He completed just 37% of his passes. He threw four picks. Even Tebow's vaunted running game was snuffed out, as he averaged just 3.2 yard per carry against the Bills and Chiefs. Those aren't exactly stout defense that have bottled up Tebow, and now he has to face a Steelers defense that, once again, led the league. All of it spells doom for the Broncos.
HOWEVAH, there is another option. Any other QB would have been benched for completing just 37% of his passes. But since Tebow is a magical unicorn fairy who can turn entire oceans into mulled wine, he somehow gets a pass. Well, I say to heck with that. I say, given that John Fox never wanted Tebow as his QB to begin with, he should relegate Tebow to a prayer bench and throw the immortal Brady Quinn in for this contest.
Now, Brady Quinn isn't good. He's awful, frankly. He's only completed 52% of his passes in his career. But hey, that's better than Tebow's horrific 47% career percentage, which has been in decline the past two weeks. Furthermore, the last time that Quinn was a starting QB was back in 2009, when he started ten games for the Browns and produced the following two stat lines:
Week 11 (vs. DET): 21-33, 304 yards, 4 TDs
Week 13 (vs. SD): 25-45, 271 yards, 3 TDs
To be fair to Tebow, I should note that Quinn was horrible in virtually every other game he played that season. But he still managed to have two games where he threw the ball like a competent professional quarterback. Tebow, on the other hand, has no such game on his resume (236 yards was his high this season). The Broncos won games late in the season because Willis McGahee was running effectively and because the defense was playing well. Given Big Ben's current ankle woes and Rashard Mendenhall's ACL tear, it's not insane to think that this Broncos defense could hold down the Steelers. All they would need is some help from the offense to pull off the upset. Doesn't Quinn give them a better chance to do that? Wouldn't he be more likely to take advantage of McGahee drawing defenders in on play action, then getting the ball out to Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas? I think so.
I know the last time this kind of last-minute QB switch happened before a playoff game, Wade Phillips was starting Rob Johnson over Doug Flutie and everything went haywire. And there's always the danger that the Broncos would lose this game and then every Broncos fan would chide Fox for sitting Tebow, presuming Tebow would have fared better.
But Fox's duty is to win this game, and I think he's probably better off trying to win it with a pocket passer, and not with a novelty QB who has just been solved by NFL coordinators. Come on, John Fox. Show some BACKBONE. Bench Tebow and throw Brady in there. Because while watching Tim Tebow founder is fun, watching Brady Quinn do so is doubly enjoyable.

(aka Wentworth Prison) Set in the modern-day, Wentworth centres on Bea Smith's (Danielle Cormack) early days in prison.
Status: Concluded
H2O: Emma, Cleo and Rikki are sixteen year old girls growing up on the sun-drenched beaches of the Gold Coast in Australia. The girls find themselves stranded at sea one day, floating towards the mysterious Mako Island. The three girls find themselves exploring the eerie jungle-covered island before becoming trapped in an ancient cavern under a volcano. Discovering an underwater channel, they decide to swim to safety. As they enter the pool, the light from a full moon illuminates the water, creating a mysterious glow. Emma, Cleo and Rikki get off the island as fast as they can and back to "normal" life. One by one, however, the girls discover life is never going to be normal again; ten seconds after they touch water, they turn into mermaids. After further experimentation, they find they have supernatural powers; Emma can freeze water, Rikki can boil water and Cleo can turn a drop of water into a bucketful and mold it into any shape. But in Season Two their powers take on a new twist and Cleo can create wind Emma make blizzards and Rikki create fire. They also have more problems to take care of such as Charlotte. The newborn mermaids must now avoid all water, for fear of discovery. Only their friend Lewis knows their secret, and together they enjoy their newfound powers, the wonders of the ocean, and evade marine biologists and the local bad-boy turned mermaid hunter, Zane.
