My wife and I are habitual day after Christmas shoppers; most of our large collection of decorations was acquired at the day after sales through the years. On occasion we have had to split up so we could each be at one of our favorite stores when the doors open. We have even scouted out things we are interested in on Christmas Eve so we know right where to go on the day after. I have even gone as far as moving a desired decoration to another part of the store to improve my chances (all is fair in love and decoration acquisition). This year we had it easy as Macys opened at seven Dillards at eleven and our favorite Hallmark at noon. Here is a picture of this years haul.
The Waterford blown glass ornaments, the Department 56 buildings, the Hallmark ornaments and gift-wrap were all 50% off. The Lenox glass ornaments were 60% off and the Nutcrackers and Christmas cards were 75% off. Any other after Christmas sale junkies out there lets see what you got.

Harlequins have named a side mixed with youth and experience to face the Saints in the opening round of the LV= Cup.
Harlequins have named a side mixed with youth and experience to face Northampton Saints in the opening round of the LV= Cup at Franklin's Gardens on Saturday.
With five players named in England's squad to face Fiji, two away with Samoa and following short term injuries to Rory Clegg and Charlie Walker in Monday 's Aviva 'A' League, senior starting debuts have been given to Harry Sloan and Dave Ward.
Ollie Lindsay-Hague starts at full-back while Ben Botica and Karl Dickson form Harlequins's half-back combination. Following injury to Tom Casson in the victory over Gloucester, Sloan will start in the centres with Matt Hopper.
Pete Browne and Joe Trayfoot make their first start of the season, while open side flanker Luke Wallace captains the side for the first time.
Among the replacements, Jack Clifford, Jordan Burns, Louis Grimoldby and Miles Mantella will look to make their first senior appearances for the club.
There are a number of long term injuries to the squad which include Will Skinner, George Merrick and Ross Chisholm amongst others. Skinner's recovery from a neck injury has been slower than expected and the flanker has been sent for consultation and further investigation.
Merrick has undergone surgery on a dislocated knee picked up in training and is expected to be out for four to six months.
Chisholm has had a setback in his recovery from an ankle injury sustained against Leicester Tigers in September and will also have surgery, keeping him out until late January.
Meanwhile, Northampton Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder has named one debutant from the Senior Academy in his starting line-up with a potential five more on the bench.
Centre Tom Stephenson starts the game, while props Ethan Waller and Danny Herriott have been named on the bench along with scrum-half Alex Day and outside backs Anders Mogensen and Tom Collins.
The teams:
Northampton: 15 Tom May, 14 Scott Armstrong, 13 Tom Stephenson, 12 Luther Burrell, 11 Jamie Elliott, 10 Ryan Lamb, 9 Martin Roberts, 8 GJ Van Velze, 7 Ben Nutley, 6 Calum Clarke (c), 5 Rhys Oakley, 4 Mark Sorenson, 3 Paul Doran Jones, 2 Mike Haywood, 1 Alex Waller.
Replacements: 16 Ross McMillan, 17 Ethan Waller, 18 Danny Herriott, 19 Christian Day, 20 Teimana Harrison, 21 Alex Day, 22 Anders Mogenson, 23 Tom Collins.
Harlequins: 15 Ollie Lindsay-Hague, 14 Seb Stegmann, 13 Matt Hopper, 12 Harry Sloan, 11 Sam Smith, 10 Ben Botica, 9 Karl Dickson, 8 Tom Guest, 7 Luke Wallace (c), 6 Joe Trayfoot, 5 Charlie Matthews, 4 Pete Browne, 3 Will Collier, 2 Dave Ward, 1 Mark Lambert.
Replacements: 16 Rob Buchanan, 17 Darryl Marfo, 18 Kyle Sinckler, 19 Sam Twomey, 20 Jack Clifford, 21 Jordan Burns, 22 Louis Grimoldby, 23 Miles Mantella.

Bath v Dragons
Recent signing Semesa Rokoduguni will make his first team debut for Bath when they face the Dragons at the Recreation Ground.
Rokoduguni starts on the left wing, with Olly Woodburn making his first senior appearance of the season on the right. Matt Banahan and Dan Hipkiss combine in the centres once more, with Ollie Devoto starting at fullback for the first time.
Tom Heathcote and Mark McMillan form a new half-back partnership, both also making their first starts of the season.
Charlie Beech and Anthony Perenise scrum down either side of Brett Sharman, making his first start for the Club at hooker, whilst Stuart Hooper and Will Spencer link up in the second row. Simon Taylor is back at number 8, as Guy Mercer and Josh Ovens fill the flanker roles.
There is a notable return from injury for Ryan Caldwell who starts on the bench, with Ken Dowding and Luke Adamson, on loan from Bridgend and Salford Reds respectively, also named as replacements.
The teams:
Bath: 15 Ollie Devoto, 14 Olly Woodburn, 13 Dan Hipkiss, 12 Matt Banahan, 11 Semesa Rokoduguni, 10 Tom Heathcote, 9 Mark McMillan, 8 Simon Taylor, 7 Guy Mercer, 6 Josh Ovens, 5 Will Spencer, 4 Stuart Hooper (c), 3 Anthony Perenise, 2 Brett Sharman, 1 Charlie Beech

Worcester Warriors v Scarlets
Worcester winger Nikki Walker will make his comeback from injury for the club's opening LV= Cup fixture with Scarlets at Sixways Stadium on Saturday.
Jon Clarke also returns in the centres alongside Alex Grove. Jonny Arr and Joe Carlisle will again combine at half-back.
Dean Schofield captains the team from the second row where he is paired with Chris Jones while George Porter and James Currie are named in the front row.
New recruit Richard de Carpentier is named in the back row for his senior debut for the club after the announcement this week that he had signed a contract with Warriors. Jake Abbott also features with Blair Cowan at number eight.
Meanwhile, a number of new faces join the Scarlets starting line-up with the chance to impress.
With 15 Scarlets internationals now on duty during the November Test series, the West Wales side focuses its attention on the competition they flew the flag for in Wales in last season – winning all of their pool matches and reaching the semi-finals.
The Scarlets convincingly won their group last season ahead of English clubs Harlequins, Gloucester and Newcastle but were beaten to a final place by Northampton Saints (27-12) away from home.
After back-to-back wins in their last two RaboDirect PRO12 games and sitting second in the league, the Scarlets will want to build on their positive momentum in their competition opener ahead their second LV=Cup clash – a thrilling Welsh derby against Cardiff Blues at Parc y Scarlets next Saturday.
It's a warm welcome to the Scarlets jersey for new South African tighthead signing Jacobie Adriaanse. The 27-year-old prop from Johannesburg is highly regarded as a technical scrummager and effective ball carrier with strong defensive skills and has been playing Super Rugby at the Lions for the past two years.
It's also a first start of the season for some more familiar Scarlets including last season's centre sensation Adam Warren who partners the captain for the trip to Sixways Gareth Maule.
Young scrum-half Aled Davies gets his first start after making an impressive impact off the bench against Zebre last weekend. Lee Williams returns to the wing for his first apperance of the season and new

In Chicago, buy online, pickup in store is off to a rocky, yet promising, start.
For all its convenience, I have to admit buying items online and having them shipped to my home sometimes makes me feel a little guilty—at least when I'm buying something readily available in a store nearby. So I was happy to test out Target's new buy online, pickup in store service at the downtown Chicago location last week on my lunch hour.
Ultimately, I ended up satisfied, and with most of what I'd intended to buy. But here's hoping that as Target gains experience with this service—it launched just a couple of weeks ago on Nov. 1—things will go a little smoother.
To start the process, I picked out the three items of running clothing that I wanted and selected for each one the same store for pickup. In the checkout, I remembered I already had a Target account, but I'd forgotten my password and couldn't log in. It took about a half hour for me to retrieve and reset my password. When I finally did and logged back into the site, all the items had been cleared out of the cart.
OK, I thought, my fault. I quickly found the three pieces of apparel again—but alas! One item now was showing up as out of stock at the store. "Store inventory levels are updated throughout the day to Target.com on a close-to-real-time basis," a Target spokesman subsequently told me. So someone must have purchased the item, or the store listed it as unavailable, in the short interim between my starting and finishing checking out, and the web site was updated to reflect the change.
I decided to take the unavailable item out of my cart rather than have it shipped from the e-commerce fulfillment center separately and finished the order with the remaining two items. I now had only to wait for the e-mail alerting me they were ready for pickup. Target promises most items will be ready within four hours of placing the order, except those placed at the end of a business day.
Sure enough, about two hours later, I got the ready alert—but for only one of the items. The other one was unexpectedly cancelled, according to the e-mail, which I assume must have been because another shopper bought it before an associate was able to reserve it for me. While the e-mail didn't prompt me directly to instead buy the cancelled item online, it did link to the product page. I held off on going back to Target.com to order the item, hoping that it might have been an error or I could find something comparable when I went in the next day to pick up the lone remaining item in my web order. Target says it holds orders placed online for pickup in stores for two full days after sending the "ready for pickup" e-mail.
Finally, I made it to the store and proceeded to the guest services desk on the second level where I showed my I.D. The associate there entered my name into an iPad, had me confirm my order and went into the back to get my already bagged item. Then she used the iPad to process the payment—I'd entered my card information online, but Target doesn't charge until the order is picked up—and sent me the receipt by e-mail. The whole pickup process lasted less than five minutes, with no glitches.
Appeased, but still somewhat miffed by having only one item of the three I originally intended to order, I decided to check on the way out to see whether either of the other two pieces of apparel was in fact in the store. I found both, though neither was available in exactly the size and color combination I'd wanted. I decided that I could probably fit the next size down in one item and bought it, along with a box of protein bars I'd spotted on the way in—another purchase that would be helpful in my winter half-marathon training, but which I hadn't thought about buying there beforehand.
All in all, I still walked out of Target with three items, but only one was among the original three I'd tried to order online in advance. Does that leave the final score at Target: 3, Me: 1? I'd say it's somewhere in the middle. Those protein bars are really good.
"As this is a new offering for Target, we're monitoring guest feedback and have been making some modifications—both to the online and in-store experience—based on what we're learning and hearing from guests," the spokesman says. So far, popular categories for buy online, pickup in store have included electronics, baby and furniture, he adds.
Women's athletic apparel isn't on that list, and perhaps Target doesn't carry a lot of inventory of each item in that category, leading to the out-of-stock problems I encountered. Next time perhaps I'll try ordering a different type of item online and just make sure to walk through apparel on the way out.

Great choice
"I wanted to purchase a pair of black combat boots and fell in love with this style. Although the boots look black, when I received them, they looked more like a faded black, almost gray. I read the previous reviews so I was expecting that, but I have no problem with the color. I am a size 7 and they fit comfortably, with enough space to wiggle my toes. I haven't tried wearing the boots showing off the gems yet but I will soon, either way they're worn they still looks cute."

Happy 140th Birthday to the Chicago Public Library! Chicago is a great library city and the development of three of its most prominent and complementary libraries is intertwined.
On January 1st, 1873, the Chicago Public Library opened its doors at the southeast corner of LaSalle and Adams streets for the first time. The library was created following the great Chicago Fire when A.H. Burgess of London proposed an "English Book Donation" as a "mark of sympathy now, and a keepsake and a token of true brotherly kindness" toward Chicago. The Board of the Chicago Public Library elected Dr. William Frederick Poole as its first librarian. Poole went on to also become the first Librarian of the Newberry Library..
The Newberry's establishment in 1887 came about because of a provision in the will of Chicago businessman Walter L. Newberry (1804-1868), for the foundation of a "free, public" library on the north side of the Chicago River.
Businessman John Crerar (1827–1889) also left a portion of his estate as an endowment for a free public library in the south division of the city.
In 1897, an agreement between the Chicago Public Library, the new John Crerar Library and the Newberry divided library specialization to allow each library to focus on building collections with a specific purpose. The Newberry grew as a research library, open to the public, with a focus on the humanities. The John Crerar Library developed as a public research library for the sciences. And the city's great circulating library, the Chicago Public Library, continues to "welcome and support all people in their enjoyment of reading and pursuit of lifelong learning."
Note that of the three, only the Chicago Public Library is part of the city's library system. All of these institutions are, however, open to the public. Be sure to visit their websites for admission information, restrictions and procedures.

Women: Statement by H.E. Ms. Marja van Bijsterveldt at the Fifty-sixth Session of the Commission on the Status of Women
Statement by
H.E. Ms. Marja van Bijsterveldt
Minister of Education, Culture and Science of the Netherlands
Fifty-sixth Session of the Commission on the Status of Women
New York, 28 February 2012
Madam Chair, thank you.
Let me first align myself with the statement made by the representative of Denmark on behalf of the European Union.
In 1995 we agreed in the Beijing Platform for Action that gender equality forms the basis of a society where both women and men are free to make their own personal choices, unimpeded by stereotypes and prejudice.
This Platform for Action is a precious commodity in our efforts to ensure a brighter future for women and girls. I am therefore deeply concerned by the restrained use of — and sometimes even critical attitude towards — the concept of gender which has become evident since the previous CSW.
The Netherlands regards it as inconceivable that, seventeen years after reaching agreement in Beijing, the principles that underlie the Platform for Action may once again be open to question. In 2012, surely our efforts should go further than merely propping up agreements we made seventeen years ago. The Netherlands therefore believes that our efforts should be directed towards progress.
We deeply believe in the strength of women. For that reason the Netherlands will continue to work hard on the political and economic empowerment of women, including by supporting the role of rural women in achieving food and nutrition security.
But we must also counter violence against women. Madam Chair, may I ask special attention for LBT women in this context?
We also should improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women.
Because giving girls and women control over their own sexuality improves their chances of living a healthy life and achieving personal development. It enables them to go to school, to work, to obtain information about their health and education, and to influence their country's government.
Girls and women in rural areas are often more vulnerable. Many of them lack information and have limited access to health care services. These factors increase the risk of maternal mortality. Often younger sisters or cousins care for the motherless child and, as a result, are deprived of the chance to go to school. A lost generation is born.
Madam Chair, we have to ensure that human rights apply to all people, in all places and at all times. Surely they apply also to people of different sexual orientation and gender identity.
I hope from the bottom of my heart that every government wants its citizens to live in safety and liberty, regardless their age, sex, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity.
If we all agree on this ––we should be able to make progress and set the conditions for gender equality.
Let us do as we promised so many years ago and give girls and women control over all spheres of their lives. In doing so, I am convinced we will contribute to a greater goal that we all share: stability, peace and security throughout the world.
Madam Chair,
We often make the mistake of seeing women as victims. But women have an enormous strength. Across the globe we see women building independent lives. Even after tragic setbacks, they pick themselves up and carry on.
Let's take inspiration from their example. Let's move forward with the agreements we made seventeen long years ago. Let's give women the position they deserve, as economic actors and agents of change.
May success and wisdom be ours in the next two weeks — weeks that can make a tremendous difference to the women and girls in our societies.
Thank you.

A writer/director/producer who got his start doing promos for Comedy Central shows like "South Park" and "The Daily Show," Reid had to shoot his film with a micro-budget of "well under $100,000" and a skeleton crew of six –– "and that's including me," he notes. He also worked as his own DP while his gaffer, Chris Trudeau, doubled as a data technician. "We didn't even have a grip department," Reid reports. "But it wasn't only because of the tiny budget; I really wanted to focus on the actors' performances, and I wanted a very intimate, natural feel for the film, which is basically a dramedy composed of three stories revolving around relationships." The first story is about a voiceover artist, starring real-life Artist Harry Chase; the second was conceived by Reid "as a vehicle" for Actress Lynn Cohen; and the third was "inspired" by his sister's struggle with breast cancer.
Reid shot the 90-minute film on location in Manhattan, New Jersey and Connecticut over a 15-day period using a Panasonic HVX200A. "Working this small, while it presented a huge opportunity, is quite challenging in terms of lighting," says Reid. "I began by asking, what's the least amount of light I can get away with?" He notes that the light sensitivity of digital technology "is now so great that you can capture far more than you could with film or even digital just a few years ago; it's much more forgiving.
"With all this in mind, Reid approached the lighting with a novel plan. "I made a killer deal with the gaffer," he explains. "I couldn't afford to take him and get the lights that we wanted. So instead of renting lights, we went out and bought an ARRI kit from B&H Photo in Manhattan, and I told him he could just keep the kit when we wrapped, which was a very creative solution. He'd worked with me as a soundman on my commercial shoots and this was his first film as a gaffer, and he wanted the opportunity to learn lighting in depth, so he got excited about using the kit. And it helped me as I got the chance to try something really unorthodox, plus I got someone who essentially donated his time."
Reid and Trudeau ultimately lit the entire film using two ARRI 600s, two 350s and a handful of 100-watt Peppers. "We also had a couple of softboxes and made use of bounces," adds Reid. "Yes, it was a risk, as neither of us had done a film before, but it was a calculated risk. I knew that Chris was very talented and that he'd work hard and make it work –– and he did. And it was like this great training ground for a very low-budget indie film. We both got experience, and the look of the film wildly exceeded all of my expectations."

Here she is, our favourite Christmas tree – without the green. This is quickly becoming one of my favourite holiday traditions: Mimi performing at Rockefeller Centre to celebrate the Christmas tree lighting.
Like all wonderful traditions, familiarity is important. For Mimi's holiday tradition, we come to expect the following:
-Multiple costume changes featuring dresses that are too small, but only of the red, white, or gold variety
-The same songs over and over again
-Fur and diamonds
Aren't you in the mood for Christmas now?

Did You Know? Countdown to Kwanzaa 2009 (12/26)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures &
Folklore about Kwanzaa
Dec 26 : First Day of Kwanzaa
Did you know today is the first day of Kwanzaa?
On the first day of Kwanzaa the black candle is lit in the Kinara. The black candle represents the first principle – Umoja (oo-MOH-jah): Unity. The person who lights the candle might make a statement about the first principle and its meaning. Sometimes a passage or poem is read relating to what the principle means and how it relates to their life.
Then the Umoja (Unity Cup) might be filled with fruit juice and shared among those gathered. Each takes a drink and passes to the next. Some families prefer to use a Unity cup for each member, or the cup can just be left in the center of the Kwanzaa table. After the sharing of the Unity cup the candles are extinguished till the next day.
Kwanzaa is a 7 day festival celebrating the African American people, their culture and their history. It is a time of celebration, community gathering, and reflection. A time of endings and beginnings. Kwanzaa begins on December 26th and continues until New Years Day, January 1st.

JST, Matthew 9:18–21.
Compare Matthew 9:16–17
18 Then said the Pharisees unto him, Why will ye not receive us with our baptism, seeing we keep the whole law?
19 But Jesus said unto them, Ye keep not the law. If ye had kept the law, ye would have received me, for I am he who gave the law.
20 I receive not you with your baptism, because it profiteth you nothing.
21 For when that which is new is come, the old is ready to be put away.

Emery Town honored their Veterans with a program before their regularly scheduled council meeting. "Just us" performed some patriotic songs for the audience. This band includes: John Sehestedt, Mike Christensen and Ross Christiansen. They sang God Bless the USA and America the Beautiful.
Young women from Emery read spotlights of the Veterans who they had talked to and wrote a story about them. They included Scottee Hunsaker, MariLyn Malan, Dez Mangum and Loren Jones. They read the spotlights and then asked the audience to guess which Veteran it was. The first Veteran they spotlighted was Merlin Christiansen. They said he served in World War II in the Navy. They asked his favorite place he went to on his tour of duty and he said his favorite place was home. He served in the South Pacific and remembers the coconut groves there. He received nurses training. He remembers it took two weeks to get letters from home. He drove an ambulance and one time when he was driving the ambulance it was raining so hard, it flooded the engine with water.
Another Veteran spotlighted was Russell Jensen. He was in the Vietnam war. He entered basic training and he was older than most of the other soldiers so they nicknamed him pops, or gramps. He was only 26 at the time. In Vietnam they lived in hooches. The Vietnamese women washed their clothes and hung them up to dry.
Jensen said the women were treated very badly over there and they had to clean the latrines. He actually liked the food they had there and sometimes his friend would gather everyone together and they would have a BBQ. They gave them $91 a month for pay. He hurt his leg in Vietnam. The hard part about the Vietnam war was you couldn't tell who was friend or enemy. He was very proud to be able to serve his country.
Scottee Hunsaker sang a song in tribute to Veterans.
The "Just us" band sang one more song and expressed their gratitude and appreciation to Veterans.
Russell Jensen is the commander of the Emery American Legion. He said they have 29 Veterans in Emery and he would like to see more of them participate in the American Legion. When a Veteran dies then the American Legion helps with the military services. "I would like to encourage everyone eligible to be members of the American Legion," said Jensen.
Emery Mayor Mistie Christiansen read a story about Veterans to the young children. Each of the Veterans in the town was presented with a corsage and a certificate of appreciation which read, "In recognition and gratitude for the service that you gave to the United States Armed Forces, thank you.
With reflection we remember those we lost and who lost so much. With pride we stand beside the brave, with resolve we defend our freedom, with hope we sow peace and rebuild," said the Emery City Council.
After the ceremony the Veterans and town residents had refreshments and visited.

A shear and a robot, together at last
Company integrates flexible automation with a guillotine shear
Lane Steel Co. marries a guillotine shear and a robot—and frees a major shop floor bottleneck as a result, leading to greater throughput, better quality, and more flexibility.
A guillotine shear epitomizes traditional metal fabrication. Machines and their controllers have advanced, but the motions operators go through have remained unchanged for decades. Managers at Lane Steel Co. knew this—and recognized an opportunity for improvement.
What they saw at the McKees Rocks, Pa., metal service center was a lot of repetitive, tedious, and sometimes strenuous operator movement around the shear. One or two workers, often with the help of a crane, would lift a material blank from a stack; position the blank on the shear load table; manually set the shearing parameters with either a front- or backgauge; advance the blank under the knife for shearing; and, if needed, rotate the blank if more than one side needed trimming.
Last year Mike Gedeon, co-owner and vice president of operations at Lane, visited Automated Robotic Systems (ARS), an automation integrator near Pittsburgh. He recalled glancing at one of the automated forming lines at ARS—and having a revelation. "I was watching [the company's] robots feed an automated forming machine," he said.
Why, he asked, couldn't the same concept be applied to a guillotine shear?
Relieving a Bottleneck
While robotics and metal fabrication have a long history together, integrating a robot into a front-loading guillotine shear is something new altogether. It's not that today's shearing systems and stackers aren't conducive to robotic material handling; it's just that, to the authors' knowledge, no one had thought to put the two together.
That is, until now.
The company has integrated flexible automation into its shearing operation—and for good reason. The operation, usually the last before packing and shipping, represented a bottleneck when the plant was operating at full production. Automated, coil-fed leveling and blanking lines pushed product downstream, and for customers demanding custom-sheared sizes, material blanks had to flow through manual guillotine shears.
The operation now is anything but manual. The company has an automated cell with a Standard Industrial guillotine shear and Canrack stacker from Mid Atlantic Machinery, a distributor in Harrisburg, Pa. A six-axis Kuka robot arm with a carrying capacity of 2,200 pounds picks and places material blanks from a stack to the load table in front of the shear (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). The robot communicates with an external seventh axis, a servomotor on the load table. Essentially, once the robot has moved and positioned a material blank onto the table, software signals the servomotor to execute procedures, which involve pushing the material blank precisely where it needs to be under the shear's knife.
Precision "Clicks"
Central to the system are the thousands of markings, or indexes, on the table. Imagine a ruler 14 feet long with these indexes every 0.005 in.; that translates into 33,600 individual markings. The robot arm positions the material blank so it can be secured by four clamps. A PLC, operating in concert with the robot controller, signals these four clamps to open and close. The servomotor then controls the movements of the material blank into the shear (see Figure 3).
Assume that the program calls for the blank to be trimmed 1 in. at the leading edge and then cut into a series of 8-in.-wide finished blanks. For the 1-in. trim cut, the servo advances the blank's leading edge 200 index "clicks." The shear trims, and the 1-in.-wide remnant is scrapped. To cut the blank to an 8-in. width, the servo advances the material blank by 1,600 index clicks and stops. The shear cuts again, and the final custom blank is offloaded to the stacker. The system indexes forward another 1,600 clicks for the next cut, and so on, until all finished blanks are complete.
To cut more than one edge, the robot arm comes back into play. After the shear cuts one edge, the robot spins the blank to another orientation. The system thus can square a material blank with mill edges on up to three sides before final shearing.
When a cut piece will be scrapped, the system sends a signal to the stacker, which in turn opens a door that accepts the scrapped piece. Finished parts are stacked into a bin adjusted before the production run to match the length and width of the final blanks.
Consider a 0.125-in.-thick material blank 60 in. wide by 144 in. long. Standing by the controller, an operator selects a program, or production plan. When picking a material blank from the cart, the robot knows to orient the blank width parallel to the shear knife line. It moves the blank over the table and then, with the help of several actuated squaring pins, positions the material's trailing edge into the set of four grippers. Once proximity switches verify material alignment, the grippers gain control. Meanwhile, the robot returns to the cart to pick the next material blank.
Let's say this production plan involves a leading-edge trim-cut piece that is scrapped; a total of 33, 4.25-in.-wide parts cut to width; and a scrapped, 2.75-in.-wide trailing-edge cut piece. The servo-driven system, the shear, stacker, and robot all work in concert to perform this complex operation. The leading edge is cut, followed by 33 parts cut to width, and finally the trailing-edge cut. When complete, the robot already is at the ready with the next blank.
Throughout, the only communication that occurs between the guillotine shear and the automation is the command passed from the robot controller instructing the shear to make a cut. After cutting, the shear's controller sends a signal back indicating that it's ready for the next cut. Such simplicity has an added benefit: The automation can integrate with virtually any commercially available guillotine shear.
Overall the automaton can handle 0.024- to 0.250-in.-thick steel with starting dimensions up to 5 by 12 ft. The smallest finished blank it can produce measures 1 by 12 in. And it can hold consistently a tolerance of ±0.005 in.—a feat impossible to achieve manually.
Fast and Safe
Gedeon said it used to be challenging to keep up with customers' demands for shear work. Manual shearing was a slow process. "This [automated system] will help us get orders and deliver orders on time."
When production speeds up, safety hazards normally become a greater concern. But the robot, which operates in a safety-secured cage, eliminates many hazards. The material is handled by an automated, intelligent system from the time it comes off the floor until it is released to the stacker, reducing the need for manpower and the potential for workplace accidents. Moreover, if workers attempt to enter areas of the cell during production, they will trigger light barriers that in turn force an instant shutdown of the robot and servo drives.
First of Its Kind
"It's the first of its kind, and no one wants to be the first," Gedeon said, adding that technicians still are working out the bugs, most of which involve the robot arm and how it delivers steel to the shear table. Nevertheless, problems have been relatively minor, and early technology adoption has its benefits.
"We try to capitalize on every opportunity that enables us to take a lead," he said. "That's what sets us apart from our competitors."
Most significant, the system's 12 robot-orientation programs can manipulate blanks in virtually any conceivable manner. "It's a huge benefit that the robot can turn the steel," Gedeon said, explaining that such capability makes the automated setup as flexible as a manual operation—without straining the operator's back.
Previously a crew of three often had to work with seriously heavy material, such as a stack of 0.25-in.-thick, 5- by 12-ft. sheets—each weighing 630 lbs. Using manual methods, it took this crew five minutes or so to fit one sheet onto a crane and load it into a shear. Let's face it, a job requiring such heavy lifting, all day every day, isn't anyone's career aspiration. But the robot doesn't mind at all. In fact, it can execute the same operation—with greater precision—in 20 seconds.

Utah State University Extension service hosted a range and pasture management seminar featuring eight specialists in the field at the Museum of the San Rafael recently. The seminar and lunch were free to local farmers and ranchers.
United States Department of Agriculture and the Agriculture Research Service scientists and personnel were the speakers and they presented all the latest research findings in the range and pasture management areas. Topics covered were animal nutrition, weed management and new plant developments for the improvement of pasture and rangeland.
Dr. Kevin Jensen, plant geneticist, was the first to present. He spoke about new developments in pasture grasses. He explained the top varieties of cool season grasses and their performance, along with the carbohydrate content and drought tolerance of each variety.
New development in legumes that enhance productivity of rangeland was the next topic and was presented by Dr. Michael Peel, plant geneticist. He explained studies that have been done comparing growth and production of alfalfa mixed with different types of grasses.
Dr. Blair Waldron, plant geneticist, was next with a topic of forage kochia; livestock, wildfire, reclamation and wildfire uses. Waldron was followed lowed by Dr. Joe Robins, also a plant geneticist who spoke about new developments in rangeland plants. He spoke about improved drought tolerance, persistence and seedling vigor.
Howard Horton, rangeland specialist was the first presenter following the lunch break. He spoke about rangeland and irrigated pasture. He gave the attendees information concerning early seedling establishment, seeding methods, and species compatibility.
Dr. Steve Dewey, weed specialist, presented concerning invasive weed problems and impacts on production. Dr. Randy Wiedmeier, animal scientist, presented on the topic of animal nutrition and performance on pastures and rangelands.
Dennis Worwood, Emery County agricultural extension educator was the final presenter of the workshop. He spoke about choosing the right species for your situation. Worwood is always available at the county building for answers and help to local farmers and ranchers with any problems that may arise in this area.
Worwood has materials available in his office concerning any of the topics covered in the seminar. He also has planting guides on CD available that specialize in the intermountain area and the species of plants and grasses that produce best and under which conditions. Contact Worwood at the extension office at 381-2381.Grow Crops for the New Energy Economy
A discussion was also held at the rangeland workshop on biodiesel. San Juan Biodiesel is planning a 5 million gallon per year oil extrusion and biodiesel production facility in Dove Creek, Colo. To operate the facility, SJB plans to contract for the production of sunflower and possibly canola crops within a 200 mile radius, including Emery and Carbon counties.
They did a presentation on oil seed crop production and the overall biodiesel process and also had a booth at the event all day, during which company representatives discussed crop rotations, production, contracting, logistics, and other factors in considering oil seed crop production. Sunflower is a good crop for highly alkaline soils: Sunflower is much more tolerant to salt than alfalfa hay, and should grow well on the highly alkaline soils of the region. Further, sunflower can be produced with low water demands.
Sunflower and canola make a good rotation crop for alfalfa hay and other grasses. When its time to tear out a stand of hay past its prime, sunflower is a viable option, such as in the sixth or seventh year after planting of the alfalfa stand. Crop budgeting analyses suggest that oil seed crop needs will be more profitable than growing oats and barley as the rotation crop for alfalfa.
At a $2.06 / bushel 10 year average and 90 bushel/acre yield, oats may gross approximately $185, with significant variable costs often greater than that. At 2200-3000 lbs/acre and a $12/100 cwt anticipated offer price, irrigated sunflower would bring a $312 gross, with generally low variable costs (often just three passes - plant, cultivate, and harvest). Meanwhile, sunflowers are generally drought tolerant, and can still give good yields with less irrigation as well.
Equipment used for grain crop production is easily adapted for sunflower planting and combining. San Juan Biodiesel is working with area farmers and the USU Extension office to assess the potential for several farmers to coop combine equipment. Given sunflowers large harvest window, co-oping equipment may be a viable option for several area farmers to coordinate larger acreages of production. San Juan Biodiesel also plans to lease or construct regional storage, and ship the oil seed from that storage to its facility over the course of the year. They plan to offer a premium for crops after harvest, likely beginning January of each year.

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
The EEOC is a bipartisan Commission comprised of five presidentially-appointed members, including the Chair, Vice Chair, and three Commissioners. The Chair is responsible for the administration and implementation of policy and the financial management and organizational development of the Commission. The Commissioners participate equally in the development and approval of Commission policies, issue charges of discrimination where appropriate, and authorize the filing of some lawsuits. In addition to the Commissioners, the President appoints a General Counsel to support the Commission and provide direction, coordination, and supervision to the EEOC's litigation program.
When the Commission first opened its doors in 1965, it was charged with enforcing the employment provisions of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC's jurisdiction over employment discrimination issues has since grown and now includes the following areas:
The Office of Field Programs, the Office of General Counsel, and 53 field offices, ensure that the EEOC effectively enforces the statutory, regulatory, policy, and program responsibilities of the
Commission through a variety of resolution methods tailored to each charge. Staff is responsible for achieving a wide range of objectives, which focus on the quality, timeliness, and appropriateness of individual, class, and systemic charges and for
securing relief for victims of discrimination in accordance with Commission policies. Staff also counsel individuals about their rights under the laws enforced by the EEOC and conduct outreach and technical assistance programs. The Office of
General Counsel conducts litigation in federal district courts and in the federal courts of appeals.
Additionally, through the Office of Field Program's State and Local Program, the EEOC maintains work sharing agreements and a contract services program with 94 state and local Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs) for the purpose of coordinating the investigation of charges dual-filed under state and local laws and federal law, as appropriate. The EEOC partners with more than 60 Tribal Employment Rights Offices (TEROs) to promote equal employment opportunity on or near Indian reservations.
The Office of Legal Counsel develops policy guidance, provides technical assistance to employers and employees, and coordinates with other agencies and stakeholders regarding the statutes and regulations enforced by the Commission. The Office of Legal Counsel also includes an external litigation and advice division and a Freedom of Information Act unit.
Through its Office of Federal Operations, the EEOC provides leadership and guidance to federal agencies on all aspects of the federal government's equal employment opportunity program. This office assures federal agency and department compliance with EEOC regulations, provides technical assistance to federal agencies concerning EEO complaint adjudication, monitors and evaluates federal agencies' affirmative employment programs, develops and distributes federal sector educational materials and conducts training for stakeholders, provides guidance and assistance to EEOC administrative judges who conduct hearings on EEO complaints, and adjudicates appeals from administrative decisions made by federal agencies on EEO complaints.
The EEOC receives a congressional appropriation to fund the necessary expenses of enforcing civil rights legislation, as well as performing the prevention, outreach, and coordination of activities within the private and public sectors. In addition, the EEOC maintains a Training Institute for technical assistance programs. These programs provide fee-based education and training relating to the laws administered by the Commission.

It's time again for The Razzies, the movie awards that celebrate the absolute worst in the acting and film making. Surprisingly, Lindsay Lohan was not nominated for anything, but then again she wasn't in a movie this year. Still.
The list of nominees are here, and they're basically what you'd expect. A bunch of repeats for Sex and the City 2, and Jessica Alba gets nominated for every movie she's been in this year. Maybe she should take that as a sign? We picked out winners (losers?) for this gallery. Tell us if you agree, disagree, strongly agree, or strongly disagree. Okay!

Very Cute
"DesignThese are a good, slightly more masculine alternative to ballet flats, and they have a lot of personality. They look great with preppy outfits, but they work with jeans and leather jackets as well. I got the grey ones, and I love how they make colored pants pop. The color looks exactly like in the picture, and the top layer of suede looks nice and soft.FitThey are true to size. I ordered my usual size 8, and my heels and my toes touch the shoe. When they arrived they were narrow, and they loosened sideways in half an hour of wear to a medium width. I have freakishly narrow feet, so I'm happy that I didn't order a larger size, because otherwise I would be constantly stepping out of them. But if you have medium to wider feet, you can get away with ordering a half a size up as well.ComfortThe sole is a little hard, I sound like I am wearing heels when I walk in them. The toe of the shoe is hard as well, and the lining seems to be faux leather, so they are not as comfortable as some soft, all-leather flats are, they're not a good choice for a long day of sightseeing. But they are a good choice for a long day in school or office work.Overall, I'm glad I got them, they are a great addition to my closet."

Beautiful Shoe
"I got this shoe just because i had a coupon and i wanted to use it. I have to say that i was very surprise with how pretty the shoe is. I was really skeptical of the color too when i bought it, but its a really nice color and it really will go with almost anything in my closet, Its going to take a little time to break them in but is definitely worth it."

Six thoughts 11/17/11 Jets 4:1 Capitals
Cam Charron
November 17 2011 09:19PM
Coming off a big Monday win against one division rival at home, the Winnipeg Jets met the Washington Capitals for the first time this season and had a big win against this division rival as well. Geographically, the two probably do not qualify as being in the "Southeast" but in the standings, they all count, and a big 4-1, Thursday night victory where a number of Winnipeg players stepped up. Here are six thoughts.
-The star of the night on this one was really Ondrej Pavelec, whose shorthanded play is really bailing out the Winnipeg Jets. After stopping 10 with the man down on Monday night, Pavelec had a repeat performance of that number Thursday night, 10 shorthanded saves, no goals, and three saves when the Jets were two men down in the second period. He plays a real unorthodox style, but it's been working, and while he won't make every save on the PK from here on out, he's pretty fun to watch right now. He stopped 31 of 32 overall.
-Evander Kane really has a shot, doesn't he? He scored another first period goal on Thursday, tying the game at one, with an absolute snipe from about 15 feet out after, again, Alex Burmistrov worked the puck free and got it to him. It's a pretty deadly combination. Kane's second goal was a little bit of luck, as he just shot it hard right off of Michael Neuvirth and it banked right in off his chest protector. He maybe could have had a natural hat-trick, he hit a post right after his first goal and he could have directed in Blake Wheeler's goal if Wheeler didn't have the presence of mind to tuck it in himself. It was a very impressive game on Kane's part.
-Winnipeg's top defensive combination on the night? Zach Bogosian and Johnny Oduya, who racked up the defensive zone starts (8 apiece) and saw time against Washington's only goal scorer in Alexander Semin. Alexander Ovechkin, however, was held to five shots, and only one real quality opportunity, playing mostly against Mark Stuart and the "GST" line of Tanner Glass, Jim Slater and Chris Thorburn. Pretty solid performance from them, who didn't fall too far into the red as far as shot differential was.
-Blake Wheeler finally scored a goal. It took him until his 44th shot on the season. He was the player with the most shots in the league without scoring a goal, and that ended Thursday. Now, the dubious honour goes to Colorado's Erik Johnson, 43 shots without recording a goal.
-Kyle Wellwood with his sixth goal so far. Beautiful pass to him by Andrew Ladd, which was just as effective as a beautiful cross-ice saucer pass. Ladd's was a tad more workmanlike, poking the puck forward with one stick while being covered by two Washington defenders. Definitely a goal to be appreciated by the Winnipeg faithful.
-Finally, Claude Noel kept the lines identical to how they were against Tampa. They worked out again, with the top six combining for three goals and 14 shots. Meanwhile, a very good night for Chris Thorburn, who not only held Ovechkin off the scoreboard, but also got into a fight with John Erskine and came back after appearing to sustain an inadvertent stick in the face while making a check in the third period.

Reunited Black Sabbath to play L.A. Sports ArenaApril 16th, 2013, 8:42 pm by BEN WENER, ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
From left: Ozzy, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler in June at the Kerrang! Awards. Photo: Getty Images
Black Sabbath: Is it just coincidence that Ozzy Osbourne fell off the wagon, rupturing his marriage in the process, while working on his first studio set with Sabbath since 1978? Did he require a more demented state of mind to reconnect with his past? We'll begin to find out Thursday, April 18, when the first single ("God Is Dead?") from the British metal legends' Rick Rubin-produced album 13 (due June 11) premieres on radio, becoming available for download on Friday.
Meanwhile, the band – also featuring guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler but not drummer Bill Ward, replaced on record (and presumably on tour) by Rage Against the Machine's Brad Wilk – has announced four North American performances in late summer, their first in eight years. That includes a Sept. 3 show at the Los Angeles Sports Arena, $46.50-$126.50, on sale Saturday, April 20, at 10 a.m.
Selena Gomez: The former Disney Channel star, whose fourth album (and first billed without her band the Scene) arrives this summer, is steadily developing a pop career that could outlast that of her ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber. Proof: she's got her own surefire sellout at Staples Center, slated for Nov. 6, $30.50-$66.50, on sale Saturday at 10 a.m.Read the rest of this entry »

LANDOVER, Md. – It was a weekend of fourth-quarter comebacks for rookie quarterbacks. And Robert Griffin III capped it with one of his own.
One day after the Indianapolis Colts' Andrew Luck and the Seattle Seahawks' Russell Wilson led comebacks in dramatic late fashion, Griffin got his very early in the final period with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon that gave the Washington Redskins a 17-16 victory over the New York Giants on Monday night.
Unlike the teams' first meeting in October, the Super Bowl champs had no answer this time, even though they had a pair of chances to do so. And now, with the final quarter of the season to play, the Giants (7-5) have only a one-game lead over the Redskins and Dallas Cowboys, both 6-6.
BOX SCORE: Redskins 17, Giants 16
KICK-STOMP: Giants, Redskins avoid ejections
SWOON: 'In typical Giants fashion'
Griffin, who passed Cam Newton as the new record holder for rushing yards by a rookie quarterback, hit Garcon for the game winner on a rollout to his right with just over 11 minutes to play. It was a much less tricky touchdown than the one the Redskins got in the first quarter when he fumbled just before he hit the ground, only to have the ball pop into Josh Morgan's hands. Morgan ran 13 yards into the end zone for the score.
Griffin was as slippery as the ball on that play and frustrated the Giants with his ability to get outside of the pocket. He was even too quick for the officials, who gave him a first down on the game-winning drive even, though replays showed he had stepped out of bounds at least a yard short of the stick.
It was one of many questionable calls by the officials, who nearly lost control of the game when Redskins center Will Montgomery kicked Giants defensive tackle Linval Joseph after Joseph yanked Montgomery out of a scrum for a loose ball. Joseph appeared to want to stomp Montgomery, which would've been an ejection, but stopped himself at the last moment.
If only Jim Cordle had stopped himself from holding.
The Giants' backup lineman was flagged for holding on the return after the Redskins' go-ahead touchdown, negating a return for rookie David Wilson to midfield. It was the second holding call on Cordle on as many kick returns, and it backed the Giants up to their own 8-yard line, where they promptly went three-and-out.
They got the ball back, thanks to a questionable pass-interference call on Redskins tight end Logan Paulsen that turned a third-and-4 at the Giants' 38-yard line into a second-and-20 at their own 46. But the Giants then had a costly penalty of their own, with left tackle Will Beatty being called for holding linebacker Rob Jackson.
An 11-yard pass to Martellus Bennett to convert a third-and-10 was no more. The Giants punted and never got the ball back.
Credit rookie running back Alfred Morris, now the Redskins' rookie rushing record holder, with running through the arms of Chris Canty on a third-and-3 to seal the game.
And for making this divisional race and the Giants' title defense much tighter than it should've, and could've, been.
The Redskins were motivated by a quote from Giants president John Mara saying the team was lucky to not lose draft picks for their alleged salary-cap violations a few years ago. That quote was posted in their locker room last week, along with the league-high number of penalties the officials called against the Redskins through 12 weeks.
Now, the Giants might need a little luck to fend off these upstart 'Skins and their rookie phenom quarterback.
