NORTON, Mass. – Freshman Harris Stolzenberg (Weston, Fla.) generated a game-high five points on four goals and an assist as the MIT men's lacrosse team defeated Wheaton College, 9-6, in a NEWMAC battle on Saturday. The win was the first for the Engineers over the Lyons since 2007 and helped them improve to 8-6 on the year and 3-1 in conference action.
In addition to his scoring performance, Stolzenberg gathered five groundballs while freshman Michael Traub (Aliso Viejo, Calif.) tallied one goal and three assists. Sophomore Graham Francis (Palos Verdes Estates, Calif.) posted two goals as freshman Henry Merrow (Hopkinton, N.H.) notched one goal and one assist. Sophomore Paul Orrson (Baltimore, Md.) chipped in one goal while classmate Luke Verdi (Middletown, Md.) registered one assist and four groundballs. Senior Tim Wilczynski (Old Lyme, Conn.) and junior John Kramer (Glastonbury, Conn.) both collected five groundballs as Wilczynski produced three caused turnovers. Senior Britt Cyr (Cincinnati, Ohio) went 7-of-12 in faceoffs while sophomore Eric Bartell (San Diego, Calif.) racked up 11 saves and four groundballs.
Wheaton opened the scoring less than four minutes into the game before a defensive battled ensued. Traub redirected a feed from Verdi for the equalizer with 5:04 on the clock while MIT went ahead on a strike by Francis with 1:22 left in the quarter.
The Engineers carried the momentum into the second stanza as they increased their lead to 5-1 midway through the frame. Orrson connected on a pass from Traub while Stolzenberg and Merrow followed with unassisted markers. The Lyons ended their scoring drought at the 5:06 mark to stay close heading into halftime.
Coming out of the break, the hosts rattled off three goals in less than two minutes to even the score at five with 9:38 on the clock. The game became a back-and-forth affair until Merrow set up Stolzenberg for a man-up strike, giving MIT the lead for good with 1:43 left.
The Engineers controlled the action in the fourth quarter as they outscored Wheaton, 3-1, to secure the victory. Francis gave the visitors some breathing room two minutes in as Traub quickly earned his second assist of the quarter on a blast by Stolzenberg. The Cardinal and Gray posted its final goal of the day courtesy of a Stolzenberg man-up marker at the 3:19 mark while the Lyons found the back of the net with 47 seconds remaining.
MIT concludes its NEWMAC road trip on Wednesday, April 23 at Babson College.

U-M forges Korean partnership and industry to push solar technology to market
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A new international partnership positions two universities and a leading company to put low-cost solar cell technology on a fast track to market.
The University of Michigan is joining with Dankook University in South Korea and Korean government Ministry of Knowledge and Economy in a four-year research project to ramp up efficiency for organic photovoltaic technology (OPV) while driving down costs, said Stephen Forrest, U-M vice president for research and a lead scientist in the project.
The highly flexible and ultra-thin OPVs will enable large-scale solar energy generation directly integrated into roofs, walls, building materials and even transparent windows in a variety of colors. Other innovative OPV products include sunshades and umbrellas covered with thin, flexible organic solar cells. OPVs also can be applied directly to laptops and communications devices.
The U-M team will continue to work closely with its commercial partner, Global Photonic Energy Corporation (GPEC) of Medford Lakes, NJ, to ensure rapid scaling and prototyping of promising technologies developed during the program's course.
"Organic solar cell efficiencies are poised at the edge of a breakthrough. Due to our recent progress (in small molecule photovoltaics), we are confident that organic solar cell power conversion efficiencies of approximately 10 percent — and possibly as high as 20 percent — are within reach during the next few years. We will be building upon approaches that were developed in our labs at the University of Michigan to enable the necessary breakthroughs," Forrest said.
The Korean collaboration will bring strong partnerships with key electronics company, positioning technology breakthroughs with the markets. Dankook University in addition to vibrant academic activities.
Dankook University, located near Seoul, hosts a student body of about 20,000 and employs about 800 faculty. This effort is supported by the local state government and large commercial interests.
"The work will engage researchers at Dankook University with students and faculty from Dankook University collaborating on site at the University of Michigan," Forrest said. "In addition, University of Michigan students and faculty will also travel to Korea for similar collaborative exchanges."
Forrest, who is vice president for research at U-M, is a fellow of the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Energy Institute, which develops, coordinates and promotes multidisciplinary energy research and education at U-M. Forrest also is the principal research scientist at GPEC.

Not the real reason but more eye catchy than writing "My tumy hurts and requires surgical investigational." which is the actual truth. As you can imagine I'm heart broken.

Partisan gridlock stymies helpful student-loan bill
The student-loan bill that came up in the Senate last week was a modest proposal. It merely allowed overburdened borrowers to refinance their loans at today's lower market rates, as other borrowers can do for mortgages and consumer loans.
And yet, narrowly tailored as it was, it fell victim to the politics of obstruction on Capitol Hill. The bill, opposed by all but three Republicans, failed to muster the 60 votes needed to overcome a threatened filibuster. It went nowhere, even though it probably would have passed if put to an up-or-down vote.
This rank display of partisanship is as good a measure as any of Congress' dysfunction.
Just last year, lawmakers were able to strike a deal with President Obama to stop student-loan rates from doubling by tying the repayment to a variable rate determined by interest on a 10-year T-note — instead of a (high) fixed rate.
Last week's proposal was equally good, and equally necessary. Some 40 million Americans are trying to cope with $1.2 trillion in college debt (nearly twice as much as all credit-card debt), and of those, 25 million would have been eligible for refinancing.
The debt has seen a huge increase during the past decade because average college tuition increased 79.5 percent between 2003-2013, according to data from the U.S. Labor Department, compared to an increase of only 26.7 percent in the Consumer Price Index.
At the time most of the outstanding loans were issued, federal loan rates were at 6.8 percent or higher. The act that stalled on the Senate floor would have allowed federal and private student-loan borrowers to refinance to rates set for first-time borrowers — approximately 3.86 percent. It doesn't take a math major to understand those numbers.
The difference in the repayments to federal agencies would have been financed by higher taxes on individuals earning $1 million or more. That's why Republicans balked, calling it an election-year gimmick by Democrats.
That's a political objection, not a practical one. In addition to rewarding students trying to improve themselves and raise the general level of education, reducing interest rates on college loans would also help unclog a sluggish economy by freeing up disposable income for college graduates unable to buy homes and otherwise invest in the economy.
A day before the vote in the Senate, President Obama approved an executive order that caps repayments on college loans at 10 percent of the borrowers' monthly income. That covers 5 million younger Americans, far fewer than the Senate bill would have, and will have less of an impact — but it's something.
If lawmakers are condemned to inaction because of partisan politics, they should not object when the president acts on his own to grapple with serious issues.
Ultimately, changes to the student-debt situation will come through an update to the Higher Education Act. But that could take years. Meanwhile, lawmakers have passed up a good opportunity to help younger Americans struggling with student loans.

Consumers Becoming Savvy About Online Shopping Safety According to Avira Survey
Most Are Aware of Fraud, But Feel Empowered to Take Calculated Risk
Tettnang, Germany --- December 7, 2012– Security expert Avira announced today the results of its latest research survey. With holiday shopping in full swing, Avira wanted to know if concerns about online shopping safety were increasing or subsiding. So Avira re-ran a set of survey questions from 2011 to compare year-over-year results.
The conclusions? Consumer attitudes toward online fraud and shopping risk have changed significantly in two areas:
- Nearly everyone is now aware that online fraud can and does happen
- Reactionary fear of online shopping has now morphed into a sober, calculated risk
The largest change in survey results between 2011 and 2012 was a 23 percent increase in the number of people who feel comfortable shopping online so long as the payment system is secure. The next largest change was a 10 percent decrease in the number of people who deny that there is much fraud going on – more than 95 percent now realize that online fraud is a reality.
"Consumers have largely embraced online and mobile shopping, and the stereotypical Luddite who refuses to shop online at all hardly exists anymore," said Travis Witteveen, COO of Avira. "What we are seeing this year is an educated consumer who is aware that online fraud can happen, but they are careful about which sites they shop and they look for evidence of secure payment features. They are willing to take a calculated and controlled risk."
The survey question and multiple-choice answers were presented randomly to Avira's website visitors during July of 2011 and again during September of 2012:
Q: Do you feel secure while shopping online?
|A: (ranked by size of year-over-year change
|I am fine as long as the method of paying and the financial transactions are always secure
|I feel secure – fraud with online shopping doesn't happen often
|Due to security concerns, I do not shop online
|I shop online, but I always fear that my personal data is going to get into the wrong hands
|I trust only well known shops or brands like Amazon or iTunes
n = 638 respondents with a margin of error of +/- 3.8 percent

This would be a good book to have for making gifts for boys ( some girls too of course). When the book arrived at the house, my five year old boy was already requesting which "bot" he wanted me to make. His favorite was the ninjabot. Even my husband made a comment on how it was a "cool book". That's the first time my husband has ever showed any interest in any of my craft books!
*One thing to note, lots of the projects have small pieces such as beads and metal incorporated into the patterns. I would not give these to a child under 4 unless for display purposes only.
How to enter the Giveaway
Leave a comment on your thoughts about Crobots at the bottom of this post no later than Sunday, April 19th, 2009. One entry per person.

|Hot Cheetos: a favorite snack provided by parents at my son's school.
Each day my son gets a snack, provided by a parent, at the end of afternoon Kindergarten (noon to 3:30 pm). Parents take turns bringing snacks. Originally, snack happened during class, but then the teacher decided that snack was taking up too much class time, and moved the snack to the end of the day. I think this is kind of odd all by itself. Why hand out a snack after class when each parent can just bring their own snack or take their kid home for a snack? The long and short of it is, I get to see the snack my son receives every day. He usually eats it in the car on the way home.
Yesterday he came out with a fruit roll-up as well as a bag of pink lemonade to drink. I glanced at the packaging and ingredients of the fruit roll-up:
Fruit Roll-ups: Strawberry Naturally Flavored (Fruit Flavored Snack)My main objections to this fruit snack are:
Ingredients: Pears from Concentrate, Corn Syrup, Dried Corn Syrup, Sugar, Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil, Contains 2% or less of: Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Acetylated Monoglycerides, Fruit Pectin, Dextrose, Malic Acid, Vitamin C, Natural Flavor, Color (red 40, yellows 5 & 6, blue 1)
- Too much sugar, including corn syrup, which I avoid all together
- Hydrogenated oils
- Artificial colors
If this were a once in a while thing, I would look the other way, as I generally do when it comes to food other people serve my kids. But almost every day he exits school with a snack like this. Never mind that school-wide newsletters often come home reminding parents to bring only healthy foods low in sugar to school for celebrations and snacks. I remember the day I watched a dad walk a case of blue Gatorade to the classroom to hand out as the kids left. Several parents have brought Little Caesars pizza. Several others have brought popsicles. I do not consider any of those things "snacks." I'm not sure if parents are trying to one-up each other or if this is a popularity contest or what. These snacks make school lunch look good.
I now have a stash of granola bars, Annie's gummy rabbits, and 100% juice drinks in the trunk of my car that I trade with my son for the snacks that are unacceptable to me. Sometimes there are willing exchanges, sometimes forced trades (and even tears shed) depending on how affronted I am by the particular snack. Sometimes I wonder what my son must think when I tell him that the snacks another parent brought are not good for his body and I'm not going to let him eat them. I worry that eventually he'll say something impolite when someone offers him the snack.
Several times, I have suggested to my son's teacher that we just eliminate the snack all together, since it's at the end of school anyway. I have also suggested that she print on the snack calendar that snacks should be as healthy as possible and low in sugar. Neither has happened.
What is so painful to me is that my son attends a school that is predominantly low-income Hispanic immigrants. I used to teach this exact population and I know the statistic: half of these kids will have type 2 diabetes by the time they are adults. My Hispanic father-in-law is borderline type 2 diabetic. I am sure that many of these kids will be overweight by the end of elementary school. How can all these parents really think these are acceptable "snack" foods for their children?
But I try to tread carefully. Because even typing this I fear I come off as an obnoxious elitist snob. I am one of two white parents in the class, and also probably one of the better educated parents in the class. I'm not quite sure which is more condescending: to blame the parents for making such poor choices, or to blame the food industry for duping parents into thinking these products are "foods" acceptable for their children's consumption. Is it unrealistic to ask parents to make better choices in the face of such poor choices? Does it promote too much of a nanny state or is it too paternalistic to say we shouldn't allow such foods to be marketed and sold? Am I overreacting to the ingredients of my son's daily snacks?
So, Boothers, I ask you:
- How worked up do you get about junk food offered to your children?
- How would you handle this situation?
- What uncomfortable children's food situations have you dealt with?

Giant theropods: North vs South/
Ok, wading into the always contentious issue of who was the biggest (which on 'teh internetz' seems to loosely translate into "who was more awesome?") I'm presenting my analysis of the always popular Tyrannosaurus vs Giganotosaurus issue.
A few things worth noting:
1) It appears that the type specimen of Giganotosaurus is essentially the same size as Sue despite having a somewhat longer femur. This is sort of surprising, since T. rex is generally thought of as having longer legs (in reality Sue simply has a proportionately longer lower leg relative to her upper leg, not longer legs overall).
2) We really don't know which of the two was longer, as there is enough of a margin of error in restoring tail lengths that the margin of error could allow either one to eek out a "who's the longest" win here (we're ignoring other theropods for the time being). A good discussion on this topic can be found here: [link]
3) Sue almost certainly had a higher mass than the Giganotosaurus type specimen, as tyrannosaurs seem to have broader torsos for their size.
4) So...that large isolated Giganotosaurus jaw? It's not really clear how much bigger that individual is, because there isn't perfect linear scaling between it and the type specimen (the isolated jaw is proportionately a bit deeper). My "best fit" version appears above, and indicates an animal about 6.5% longer than the type. THat would result in an animal over 13 meters in length, and also one that would be heavier than Sue.
5) Yes, I know there are also fragments of even larger T. rex specimens. Unfortunately things like toe bones are even harder to try and scale up reliably, so I haven't attempted it (also I really would want to see the things first hand before I tried it).
6) So in conclusion, between the specimens that are well enough known to estimate reliably, Tyrannosaurus and Giganotosaurus are about the same length, and T. rex was probably a bit heavier. The big jawed Giganotosaurus appears to be from a larger animal, but the nature of fragmentary specimens being what it is you simply aren't going to get to know which species was "truly the biggest".
Sorry, the data just doesn't allow this sort of thing to be done conclusively at this point in time, no matter how much we wish it were otherwise.

While we were at the campground Laura and I worked on our projects. Laura made plastic canvas coasters and I worked on a new round ripple. We didn't get too much done because we were so busy with the Haunted TeePee preparations.
Laura is adding a dark pink border to the two variegated pink coasters and a dark blue border to the variegated blue coasters.
I have run out of the aqua yarn so I'm kind of stuck right now - can't go any further with it. But I am working on writing out the pattern - I should have it posted within the next couple of days. I hope you like it. :)
Have a great day everyone. ♥

Sugar comes in many forms, and has become a huge part of the American and other "Westernized" diets. Consumption of sugar has increased 23% in the last 30 years. Not all sugar is bad though. Sugar is naturally found in fruits and dairy products. These are healthy sugars, and should be included as part of a healthy diet.
On the other hand, sugar is added to many foods, especially processed foods, to make them taste better. It is hidden in foods that you wouldn't even think would contain sugar such as, salad dressing. It is also added to fat-free foods to make them taste better. Added sugars are the ones that we want to remove mostly, if not completely, from our diets.
Sugar doesn't offer any nutritional benefit
Consuming excess sugar does not offer any benefit since sugar is very low in nutrients that are good for our bodies; so, it is basically providing empty calories. It would be much better for us to eat a nutrient dense food. Consuming a diet high in excess sugar can significantly decrease the quality of your diet. When the excess sugar is consumed, and is not needed for energy, just like any other extra calories that are eaten, it will turn into fat. Excess sugar can also increase your chances of developing dental cavities by promoting acid production in the mouth.
So while it is nearly impossible to completely remove sugar from your diet, as it is found naturally in some healthy foods, there are some things that you can do to get rid of the added sugars.
1. When grocery shopping, read the ingredients and nutrition facts of your foods. Since sugar is added to so many foods, you can't tell which foods are going to contain sugar just by looking at them. You actually need to read the nutrition label and the ingredient list.
The recommendation is to have no more than 10% of your total calorie intake from added sugars, which, based on a 2000 calorie diet, is about 50g/day. So, when reading the nutrition label, try to stay away from foods that contain a high amount of sugar. Also, read the ingredient list. You want to try to avoid foods where sugar is listed as one of the first few ingredients as the ingredients are listed according to how much of it is in the product. And, sugar may not even be listed as 'sugar'.
Some other more common ingredient names that mean sugar are barley malt, beet sugar, brown sugar, cane sugar, caramel, corn syrup, corn syrup solids, dextrose, fructose, fruit juice, glucose, high fructose corn syrup, honey, maltodextrin, maltose, malt syrup, rice syrup, sucrose, etc.
2. Buy fresh fruits instead of canned fruits. Often, canned fruits are packed in sugary syrups. You may buy the canned fruit thinking that it is a healthy choice because it is fruit. But, if it is packed in heavy syrup, it contains extra added sugars, not to mention, extra calories. If you still want to buy canned fruit, choose the ones that are packed in water, juice, or light syrup.
3. Try to reduce the sugar that you use when you are making food at home. You can do this by looking for recipes that use sugar substitutions. While artificial sweeteners have their own negatives, sometimes, especially if you have a health condition that requires you to cut down on sugar, it can be beneficial to use them instead. Although it is best to avoid making the foods all together, you can search for recipes online that are low in sugar or that use other ingredients, besides sugar, as a sweetener.
4. Try to cut down on the sugar that you add to your food. Do you really need to add 3 packets of sugar to your coffee? And, do you need to put sugar in your cereal? Try at least decreasing, if not completely eliminating, the amount that you add to your food. Eventually you will get used to the taste of food without the sugar, and you will find that you don't need it. You may even find that you enjoy the food more.
5. Choose to eat foods that are naturally sweet instead. Fruit has natural sugars in it, and makes a great dessert or snack. If you feel that you are craving something sweet, eat a piece of fruit, and wait 15 minutes to see if your craving goes away.
6. Cut down on the amount of sugary beverages you drink. Beverages containing sugar is a major source of the added sugars that are consumed. Sugar is found in many beverages such as soda, fruit juice, some alcoholic beverages, iced tea, etc. An article from The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that weight gain and obesity is associated with increased consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. Water and milk are much better options.
7. Don't buy foods that contain sugar. There are certain foods that are mainly sugar, and are terrible for you. Candies, such as gummy candy, hard candy, suckers, and caramels, are mainly sugar. If this is something that you eat regularly, you may just want to avoid buying it as it doesn't provide any nutritional value to your diet.
These are just some of the suggestions on how you can get rid of, or cut down on, the sugar that you consume. Following these suggestions can really make a difference. Reducing the sugar that you consume can really improve the quality of your diet as sugar doesn't offer any nutritional benefit. It will also decrease or eliminate the negative side effects that sugar provides.

School Messenger Message about Student Enrollment for 2018-2019 School Year
Returning Students
Returning students are those students who completed the 2017-2018 school year at a Hamblen County School (enrolled through May 18, 2018). Students will be pre-loaded for enrollment at their zoned school as of May 18, 2018. The enrollment school cannot be changed during the online enrollment process. If a family has moved during the summer out of their zoned school area, students will report to the school they plan on attending on registration day. Proofs of residency will be required before the school can enroll the student. The online enrollment should still be completed even if their enrolled school is incorrect. The school can correct this after registration day.
Online enrollment ensures that your child's school and the district has updated student, family and emergency information. Student and family phone numbers, addresses, emergency contact information, and student health information can change from year to year. It is essential that your child's school have the most up-to-date information on the first day of school in case of an emergency situation.
In an effort to make student enrollment easier, the district will not be distributing student enrollment SNAPcodes for the 2018-2019 school year. Student enrollment SNAPcodes used for the 2017-2018 school year were only valid for that school year. Uploading proofs of residency will not be an online option for the 2018-2019 school year. Proofs of residency will be required to be presented at the school. Registration day is an attendance day. Students who do not report to their school on this day will be counted absent.
A parent/guardian of a returning student will only be able to register with THEIR Parent Portal Account (student portal accounts do not have access to the registration icon/link). A link to returning student registration will not be posted on the district or school website, but you will find the link to the Parent Portal Login page on these sites. Most schools will not have office staff available when the registration window opens. It is very important that you have your Parent Portal account created or issues resolved prior to May 16, 2018. This will ensure you have the best possible experience completing your child's online enrollment.
Returning student online enrollment should be completed PRIOR TO August 1, 2018. The enrollment process will be available starting July 1, 2018.
Forgotten your Parent Portal Login information?
Need A Parent Portal Account (Parents with a returning student without a Parent Portal Account):
Most schools will not have office staff available when the registration window opens. It is very important that you have your Parent Portal account created or issues resolved prior to May 16, 2018.
New students are those students who have never been in a Hamblen County School previously or those students who have left the district and did not complete the 2017-2018 school year at a Hamblen County School (enrolled through May 18, 2018).
All new Hamblen County School students must visit their zoned school to begin the registration process.

Yesterday I blogged about the Florida property rights case, which I now consider the best unanimous opinion against my position I could ever imagine. Although the property owners lost, four justices stood for the idea that courts no less than legislatures or executive bodies are capable of violating the Takings Clause (Fifth Amendment), while two others endorsed remedying such violations via Substantive Due Process (Fourteenth Amendment), and the remaining two didn't express an opinion one way or the other. For more on the case, see the blogposts of Cato adjunct scholars Tim Sandefur, Ilya Somin, and David Bernstein.
An interesting side note involves Justice Scalia's excoriation of Substantive Due Process (and Justice Kennedy's use of it):
Moreover, and more importantly, JUSTICE KENNEDY places no constraints whatever upon this Court. Not only does his concurrence only think about applying Substantive Due Process; but because Substantive Due Process is such a wonderfully malleable concept, see, e.g., Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U. S. 558, 562 (2003) (referring to "liberty of the person both in its spatial and in its more transcendentdimensions"), even a firm commitment to apply it would bea firm commitment to nothing in particular.
The great attraction of Substantive Due Process as a substitute for more specific constitutional guarantees is that it never means never—because it never means anything precise.
Scalia also calls Kennedy's method "Orwellian" – after having said that Justice Breyer uses a "Queen-of-Hearts" approach "reminiscent of the perplexing question how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" Really, this is classic Scalia, a delight to read (and you should, here).
The problem with what Scalia says, as Josh Blackman points out, is that the Court is about to release its opinion in the Chicago gun case, McDonald v. Chicago and, based on the oral argument, is about to incorporate the Second Amendment via Substantive Due Process. If SDP is so bad, how can Scalia (endorsed by Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Thomas and Alito) use it to protect a "new" right? – particularly when the Privileges or Immunities Clause was created for just this purpose! One answer is that, to Scalia, "babble" – his term for SDP – is still worth more than "flotsam" (his term for P or I), as I discuss here. Another is that, to put it bluntly, Scalia is a results-oriented non-originalist, as Josh and I discuss here.
Speaking of Blackman-Shapiro collaborations, for the correct way to apply the right to keep and bear arms to the states, see our law review article called "Keeping Pandora's Box Sealed." And Tim Sandefur, who authored Cato's McDonald brief (read a summary here) just published a fascinating related article called "Privileges, Immunities, and Substantive Due Process." I haven't read it yet but am very much looking forward to it.
Tim also recently wrote a book defending economic liberties (which Justice Scalia also disparages in his Stop the Beach opinion), called The Right to Earn a Living: Economic Liberty and the Law. I hear it makes for good beach reading.

Too Many Dies for QDC? No Need to Worry
Too often I meet with potential customers interested in quick die change (QDC) yet are overwhelmed by the prospect of modifying the ever-increasing number of active dies run in their presses. Typically these companies have a variety of mid-sized presses—50 to 800 tons. Compounding the problem: Any particular die may be run in two or more presses. Die sizes vary dramatically, there is no die standardization, there are multiple press manufacturers, dies are owned by the end customer, etc. Implementing QDC is quickly dismissed as being too complicated and too costly.
A raised rolling bolster retrofitted onto a press is an excellent method for optimizing die-exchange times.
But do not fall into this trap. QDC is a valuable tool for fighting demands from customers and from foreign competition for lower-cost and higher-quality parts. Described in this article are two simple, affordable alternatives that companies with "too many tools" should consider: common plates and raised rolling bolsters. They are valuable components in a QDC plan that brings considerable production increases and cost savings.
Common Plates
Common Plates provide a simple means to consolidate multiple die sizes in a particular press. Rather than installing a subplate on each die, only two common plates are needed for each of the targeted presses—one sits in the press with the working die while the other stages the next die to be run in production. Guide and locating features designed into the plates ensure precise positioning of the die in the press. Keys, pins or holes are used to ensure that dies position correctly onto the common plate.
On smaller dies, strategically placed threaded holes can be used to mount the dies to the common plates. For larger dies, T-slots can be machined into the common plates and used to secure the dies. Common plates generally are designed with the same front-to-back and right-to-left dimensions as the bolster; their depth depends on tool weight and maximum footprint.
Common plates allow for the new die to be mounted and staged near the press so that when a production run completes, the dies can be exchanged rapidly. In this scenario, die mounting and preparation occurs a from the press, in the plant's toolroom for instance, and the new die sits close to the press when a production run using the previous die completes. The old die, upon removal from the press, temporarily stores in the immediate area of the press while the new die is retrieved, placed into the press and positioned using the locating features.
Standardization is the key in any QDC system and the use of common plates is a viable strategy toward standardization of existing dies. The common plate allows for use of die lifters to ease the movement of dies into and out of the press, and bolster extensions to ensure that dies are easily accessible and kept a from damage-susceptible components such as light curtains and scrap conveyors. Also, hydraulic clamping becomes more worthwhile because fixed clamping can be used to secure a common plate in position, eliminating the need for an operator to remove and reposition the clamps during each die-exchange sequence. For larger, heavier dies, specialized equipment such as die carts, T-tables and staging tables can be employed, saving additional production minutes.
The biggest pitfall with the common plate: It occupies some of the press' shut height. This requires that spacers or parallels, used under the die to attain the correct shut height, be machined to shorter lengths. Does this mean that all of the dies must be modified? The answer is, "No." Generally speaking, 80 percent of production occurs with 20 percent of the dies, so stampers should concentrate efforts on the biggest runners, those dies that remain in production most often. Doing so will reap significant productivity benefits.
|Common plates allow for the new die to be mounted and staged near the press so that when a production run completes, the dies can be exchanged rapidly.
Another method for optimizing die-exchange times: Retrofit a raised rolling bolster onto a press. As the name implies, a raised rolling bolster is similar to the rolling bolsters used for years on large-bed presses for QDC. The bolster literally lifts off of the press bed and moves out from under the press ram so that the installed die is readily accessible. This method proves particularly effective if the press area houses an overhead crane.
A complete system includes hydraulic roller bars to lift the bolster off of the press bed; an actuator to move the bolster into and out of the press; a set of heavy-duty bolster extensions to support the bolster when it is out of the press; and a set of clamps to lock the bolster on the press bed during production.
Typically, the bolster must be machined to accommodate the roller bars, and in some cases, machining of the clamps also is required. Again, locating features—keys, pins or holes—should be employed to assure quick and accurate positioning of the die onto the bolster. The die can be secured to the bolster using traditional methods, but hydraulic clamps are a faster alternative. This method provides minimal impact to the shut height, limited only to the lift height of the hydraulic roller bars. And no die modifications are necessary, save the locating features discussed above, which in many cases already exist.
Of course, the key is to have the new die prepped and staged at the press before the existing die's production run completes. If using an overhead crane, install a set of die lift straps or chains to ready the new die for transport. If using a forklift, clear an area for staging the new die and for temporary storage of the die currently completing production. Both areas should allow easy access for the forklift.
As an added benefit, the raised rolling bolster can function as a die-maintenance tool. If the die in production requires immediate repair, the raised rolling bolster can move the lower shoe out of the press, optimizing access to the lower die shoe and enhancing access to the upper die shoe mounted on the ram. In many cases, maintenance personnel can solve the die issue in a few minutes and place the die back into production, a far better alternative than performing an unscheduled die exchange.
Adopt an Entire QDC Strategy
The equipment described here should be a part of a larger QDC strategy that must be embraced by everyone from the press operator to the company president. When it comes down to it there are two types of presses: ones that make you money and ones that cost you money. A press shut down for die change costs the company money in lost opportunity, changeover labor, etc. It only stands to reason that minimizing die-exchange down time increases productivity and profits. For example; a time savings of 30 to 60 min. per 40-hour shift represents 6.25 to 12.5 percent of shift production time.
Productivity increases are the most obvious, but not the only, benefit of QDC. Other advantages include: reduced inventory levels, reduced floor-space requirements, deferred or avoided capital expenditures for additional equipment, improved product quality, etc. Never believe that there are too many dies for QDC. The process brings too many benefits to ignore. MF

Students gathered on Feb. 9 to discuss their host's past and the students' future. A Dinner With 12 Strangers, a reoccurring event sponsored by the Ohio University Alumni Association (OUAA), is an opportunity for students to strengthen their ties with alumni, learn about the possibilities after their time at Ohio University, and network with these professionals to help make their transition into the "real world" a bit easier.
The Feb. 9 dinner, hosted by Sushila Gawande and alumna Cita Strauss, gave students the opportunity to hear about Gawande's and Strauss' diverse professional experiences. Gawande, a retired pediatrician after more than 30 years of pediatric practice in Nelsonville, Ohio, and Athens gave valuable insight about the ever-changing world of healthcare and offered advice for students hoping to make their way into the industry.
Cita Strauss graduated from the School of Dance in 1977 and founded Factory Street Studio, a recreational and pre-professional dance studio in Athens, celebrating its 35th year in 2014. Strauss provided insight on the adventure of starting a business and creating educational opportunities for students through her own experience.
Student Alumni Board's Vice President of Student Outreach Kaija Nealon, also an OUAA employee, led the planning of the dinner.
"We were very pleased with how successful the February Dinner With 12 Strangers event was," Nealon said. "Sushila and Cita are both very worldly women and it was so interesting to listen to their stories and experiences. From cultural backgrounds to campus involvement, the attendees were very diverse and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know each other. Our night was full of delicious food, engaging conversation and new friendships."
A Dinner with 12 Strangers was launched by OUAA in 2010. It is a tradition that is growing throughout colleges and universities across the U.S. The idea is simple: attend a dinner with students, faculty and alumni to share a good meal, good conversation and a good time.

Some South Florida minimum wage workers are seeing fatter paychecks as companies propose or institute salary hikes
Each month, Alexandra Liriano, a cashier at Ikea, hands over most of her paycheck to her mother to help pay the family's bills. Soon, a 16 percent raise to Ikea's new company-set $9.29-an-hour minimum hourly salary will put more money into her pocket.
"It will help me have a little extra for myself, as well as pay for school," said Liriano, 20, who lives in Pembroke Pines with her mother, brother, stepfather and aunt and is studying criminal justice at Broward College.
Although the Florida Legislature did not raise the state-mandated minimum wage during its last session, some minimum wage workers — like the Ikea cashiers who ring up your Swedish biscuits, the salespeople at Gap who help you find your T-shirt size, and the tellers at C1 Bank who deposit your checks — will see their pay increase.
Companies including Ikea and Gap — which also owns Old Navy, Banana Republic, Athleta, Piperlime and Intermix — have recently announced or instituted voluntary increases in their minimum wages ahead of proposed national legislation that could mandate a new federal floor. St. Petersburg-based C1 was ahead of the pack in Florida, raising its "living wage" to $14 in April.
The businesses cite such reasons as a desire to attract and retain talented workers and boost productivity, and to enable employees to earn a decent living.
For C1 Bank, the increase carries a deeper meaning.
"I was raised by a single mother in New Hampshire who worked as a secretary, so I have this personal feeling, and I really understood personally what it is like to work below a living wage," said C1 Chief Executive Trevor Burgess.
Nationwide, the federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. In Florida, which adjusts its minimum hourly wage for inflation, it's $7.93. For a full-time employee working 40 hours per week, that comes to $317.20 per week or about $16,500 per year. Florida's poverty line is $23,850 for a family of four. The Legislature adjourned in May without taking up a proposed hike to $10.10 an hour.
A bill before Congress calls for raising the minimum wage, in three steps, to $10.10 by 2016. It would then have an annual adjustment for the cost of living. President Barack Obama supports the bill, which could be considered by Congress this fall.
The organization Business for a Fair Minimum Wage also supports the measure. Holly Sklar, the group's executive director, said 28 million workers across the country would benefit if the minimum wage were lifted to $10.10 by 2016.
"Today's $7.25 minimum wage has less buying power than it had in 1950, and a third less than in 1968, adjusted for inflation," said Sklar, who is based in Boston. "We can't build a strong economy on a falling wage floor."
The controversial bill faces strong opposition from major businesses and industry groups, including the National Restaurant Association, the National Retail Federation and the Florida Retail Federation. They argue that the increase would lead to higher labor costs for employers, job losses and reduced hours for employees, as well as fewer opportunities for young and entry-level workers.
"A retail job is often the first opportunity for someone with few skills entering the job market, and retailers believe in investing in a well-trained workforce," said Rick McAllister, president and chief executive of the Florida Retail Federation, in a statement.
"Raising the standard of living for low-wage employees is a worthy cause. Raising the minimum wage would not create more opportunities for less-skilled workers, and there is substantial evidence that a mandated wage hike would result in fewer entry-level jobs," he said.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated in a report released in February that the proposed federal raise to $10.10 per hour would reduce total employment by about 500,000 workers, or 0.3 percent.
Last month, Gap raised its minimum wage to $9 and plans to raise it to $10 in June 2015. The increase affects workers across all of its brand stores. In South Florida, there are dozens of Gap and Gap-affiliated stores.
Gap said the majority of its stores' workers already earn more than the federal minimum wage. Still, its in-house minimum wage increases will benefit 65,000 company employees, according to the company's website.
Ikea just announced it will raise its minimum wage in January 2015, pegging it to the "living wage" in each community in which it has a store. For the new store opening in Sweetwater later this summer, the rate will be $10.79.
That store, Ikea's first in Miami-Dade County, expects about half of its newly hired 350 workers, including Liriano, to benefit from the increase. Ikea bases its living wage on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Living Wage Calculator, which takes into consideration housing, food, medical and transportation costs, plus taxes.
Carolina Reynoso, 23, who juggles two jobs — training as a part-time cashier at the Ikea in Sweetwater and working at a clothing boutique — will use her raise to help pay off $35,000 in student loans from culinary school.
"It will make it easier to make the payments," said Reynoso, of Kendall, who also gives her mother $200 or more a month to help with expenses.
The hike in Ikea's minimum wage is "the latest in a series of investments made in the last year to make sure it's the greatest place to work," said Selwyn Crittendon, store manager at the Sweetwater Ikea. Other recent measures include making contributions to a new retirement fund, boosting the company's 401(k) retirement account match and making all employees eligible for bonuses.
"It gives us the opportunity to attract and keep great talent in this building," Crittendon said. Ikea has said the move will not result in cutting employees' hours or increasing its prices.
Other major companies also have come out in support of a higher minimum wage, including Costco, which already pays workers $11.50 or more in every state in which it operates.
The push to raise the wages of America's lowest-paid workers has been going on for months. In Miami and cities across the country, fast-food workers have staged protests for higher wages. So far this year, 10 states and the District of Columbia have enacted minimum wage increases, Sklar said.
Companies that have increased their in-house minimum wages cite positive outcomes, including lowering employee turnover and boosting productivity and customer satisfaction.
C1's Burgess said that not only did the wage hike help those affected by the raise — mostly tellers — it also boosted other employees' pride in the bank and led to an influx of new customers.
"We're trying to be a bank by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs," Burgess said. "I need the very best people interacting on the front line, so if I am paying $14 an hour, I will be able to attract the best people."
At C1, the wage increase affected 26 of 220 company employees. All are women.
"That was my original inspiration, my mother and my childhood experience," Burgess said. "I was excited that this was able to change the lives of so many women raising families."

I even once got A message from hackshield to turn off the suspicious program; without stating what program is suspicious!!! My Pc is regulary scanned for malware, spybots and viruses, so that part is not an issue.
I really would like this to be solved, enchanted wallet is going to finish before this is resolved
Clearing cache and temp files didnt help either, or deleting contents of hshield folder in game directory...Now i think its up to you to do something

Ok, since u couldnt do anything in 8 hours, i did some research about this issue. Apparantly developers dont know how to solve this problem. People had this problem many times and i never found a solution on forums. whats disturbing that devs blamed people for their incompetence. My internet is stable (20mbit) and secure, I didnt give up the game when you decided to make 1 pro server, i guess the game did me a favour and forced me to stop now. Pls dont reply with some generic bs, unless u have something constructive to say, dont reply at all.
Devs made some changes and remove the problem...its working now
Dear trupak11,
That's good to hear and sorry about the bugging situation.
We will try hard more for the stable game play!!
Thank you!!
Team EuroGameZ
I don't want a stupid automatic response from you, I want an explanation why this problem is happening, why you haven't fixed it for days, how can we fix it, and compensation for so much we have lost. Even then, it wouldn't be fair to us but at least its something you can do.
Manager Name: Windfury

Dear Moonguard,
Sorry to hear this and you can send email to email@example.com.
What is your game ID? We cannot find your name "Moonguard" in our ticket system.

Adenocarcinoma of the Lung
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
Pathology from a my right lower lung lobectomy revealed a 2cm adenocarcinoma without lymph node involvement. What is the survival rate for this cancer?
A small pleural effusion in my right chest was detected several months after surgery. Cytological examination of my pleural effusion revealed adenocarcinoma, no recurrent tumor was detected.
Can you please help me?
Kenneth Blank, MD, and John Han-Chih Chang, MD, Editorial Assistants for Oncolink, respond:
Dear OncoLink Reader:
Thank you for your question.
The lungs are surrounded by a thin sac of tissue called the pleura. Fluid continually enters and exits the space between the lungs and the sac. Pleural fluid helps lubricate the lungs and prevents friction as the lungs move up and down against the rib cage during breathing. A pleural effusion is the medical term used to describe excessive fluid buildup in the pleural space. There are many causes for a pleural effusion including; congestive heart failure, trauma, lymphoma and cancer. If the pleural fluid contains cancer cells it is termed a malignant pleural effusion. In men, lung cancer is the most common cause of a malignant pleural effusion while in females it is breast cancer.
The treatment of a malignant pleural effusion begins with determining the cause. It is important to note that only one-half of pleural effusions in patients with a diagnosis of cancer is due to the cancer. Therefore, aspiration of the fluid is necessary to determine if cancer cells are present. Once a diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion is made, treatment depends on the clinical situation and the tumor type. About 25% of malignant pleural effusions are small and asymptomatic- these cases do not mandate therapy but should be followed closely with chest X-rays and physical exams to ensure that the effusion does not enlarge or cause symptoms.
Malignant pleural effusions that are large and/or symptomatic require treatment which may be surgical or medical. The surgical options include removal of the pleura (pleurectomy) or drainage of the effusion followed by injection directly into the pleural space of substances that causes scarring (this procedure is called pleurodesis). Pleurectomy is not commonly performed as it carries a high rate of side effects. Pleurodesis, on the other hand, is often performed with minimal side effects and is effective in draining the pleural fluid and preventing a return of malignant pleural effusions in approximately three-quarters of patients. Simple aspiration of the fluid is another option and can be performed as an outpatient, but in the large majority of cases the effusion returns within a matter of weeks.
Medical therapy of pleural effusions consists of treating the underlying cancer. For example, if the effusion is caused by breast cancer tamoxifen or chemotherapy is often successful at shrinking the tumor and the effusion. However, some tumors such as non-small cell lung cancers do not typically respond to chemotherapy and pleurodesis is often necessary.

In the beginning…
While playing Second Sight, the latest entry in the burgeoning trend of mind games, I noticed one thing and pondered another. First, I noticed that I hadn't been so enthralled by the narrative of a supposed "action" game in months. And second, I wondered what took developers so long to incorporate psychic abilities into video games? To be fair, certain games have done it before, but never like this.
The Jedi Knight series has dibs on force powers and every RPG in history lays claim to magical abilities. Admittedly, some of these abilities overlap, like the lighting powers in Jedi Knight and lightning bolt spells in RPGs. What differentiates Second Sight from these other games is the way it takes superpowers and weaves them into the overall narrative of the game. see dealSecond Sight - Gamecube$49.99on Amazon
Take a seat, it's story time…
Of course, I don't want to spoil anything. In terms of story, Second Sight kicks Psi Ops square in the nuts and makes fun of its mom. It's one of Second Sight's strongest selling points. You'll play an amnesiac by the name of John Vattic. After an absurdly long coma, John wakes up bloodied and bandaged in a government building. Without a clue as to where he is or even who he is, John slowly discovers that his mind brims with all manners of psychic coolness. He can move things by thought alone, heal himself with brain power and even project himself out of his body.
Unfortunately, John awakens from his coma without so much as a decent pair of pants. You'll spend the next 15 or so hours sneaking through an insane asylum, breaking into government buildings and storming a base in the frozen wasteland of Syberia. You'll uncover sinister plots, square off against twisted government officials and expose a heinous plot. Remove a few thousand bullets, throw in a few FBI agents and you have yourself the makings of a pretty decent X-Files episode.
Use the force…and a .45 pistol.
It's one of the most frequently asked questions in history: what super power would you want given the choice? It's a great question. And for good reason: everyone wants superpowers. Ask your neighbor, the paranoid lady across the street, even your priest, and they'll all say the same thing: everyone wants superpowers. Any why not? The entertainment industry dangles the concept in front of the consumer psyche through movies, books, and more specifically, video games. Recently, game developers have opted for a more scientific approach to the phenomenon.
Midway released the psychically charged Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy back in June, and now Codemaster's will unleash Second Sight. It is understood that gamers will compare the two. Lets' face it: they sound similar. Both feature amnesiac protagonists rippling with brainpower, and both follow non-linear story structures composed of several flashback tutorial sequences.
But we'll get to all of that a little later. For now, we'll stick to cerebral stuff. I'd like to describe in detail every single ability you can aqcuire, but I won't. Discovering new powers makes up a large part of the experience, so I'll remain a tad vague. I will say there are five main abilities, each of which evolves over the course of the game. Second Sight reveals two of the most useful abilities, healing and telekinesis, within the first three levels. Where telekinesis comes in handy to open doors and flip switches, the inclusion of a healing ability makes little sense.
Let me explain. Second Sight is not a hard game. Even without the healing ability, it wouldn't be too hard to get through for the average gamer. The game's lack of difficulty stems from two things: a near instantaneous re-filling of your psychic-power gauge whenever it's used, and the fact that you can absorb precisely 18 pounds of bullets before kissing pavement. To test this fact, I ran toward four armed guards and slapped them to death.

Here's an unordered list of things that are nice to have in a build system:
- Automatic inclusion of new .cpp and .hpp (or .h) files into pool of compiled files
- Makes #include statements just work
- Works on most systems without having to install an outrageous amount of dependencies (for the build system anyway)
- Makes inclusion of external libraries (outside the project folder) easy
- Allows division of code into internal libraries for faster compilation (only recompile what changed)
- If there is any boilerplate at all, makes it clear what is necessary
- Effort to configure the build of a project scales with the amount of features used, not with the amount of code to compile, especially with nested folders
I have tried mostly cmake and scons so far. The latter feels like a version of the former that makes some things more convenient, but isn't all that different. cmake meanwhile is definitely a step up from writing Makefiles manually, but it's a far cry from things like Rust's crates. I feel like I could do anything I need with cmake, but it does not make things easy.
There are probably solutions for any problem I might encounter, but these do not feel like clean programming practices. For example, automatically including new code files requires writing some recursive globing-loop inside cmake's description language, which of course I didn't write myself and instead copy from other projects. If that is the best solution, why isn't this part of cmake itself?!

The Enterprise's objective is to develop an internationally recognized herd of registered Jersey cattle by: capitalizing on the current genetic base, identifying and utilizing available genetic technologies, and communicating through industry trade venues. This provides an enriching and unique educational experience for the Berry College Students.
The Berry Farm's Dairy herd is supported by an extraordinary genetic base. At this time, five cows are ranked excellent! Each cow in our herd can be individually assessed based on her strengths and weaknesses and bred according to those traits. The Dairy also maintains records of each cow's genetic line to help predict the potential of breeding combinations. The Dairy uses this knowledge to improve on its genetic base for strength, longevity and production.

Once a week Kenji (his hands above) and I get together and catch up on the week's goings on while our littlies run around creating havoc together. We drink tea and talk a lot about what we're up to in the studio. Collaboration is a frequent topic and over the years we've come up with numerous ideas of things we'd like to do together - but actually getting around to doing any of these things is another matter entirely! Apart from the Little People (sadly neglected for a long while) we haven't made a lot of progress! So we were both quite excited today to have finally been able to organise an afternoon in the studio together to work on a collaborative idea we've been talking about for a long time. It was just a start, a chance to play around with a few things and to look at how our processes, techniques and ideas might be able to work together in a way that fits for both of us, but also in a way that pushes both of us a little. After a lot of excited chatter and some pushing and prodding and pouring of clay we dragged ourselves away from the moulds and tools and clay and slip and wandered around the corner to pick the kids up. It was short but sweet, and it might be weeks (or months) before we get another chance to play, but at least we finally made a start!

If some of your Little People would like to come on a trip to Cambridge, UK, I'd be happy to photograph them and send them on their return trip home. Maybe they'd like a day trip to London too, and I often go to the Lake District where I'm sure they'd be welcome visitors. If interested I think you get my email address when I comment?
