An assembly line is a manufacturing process in which parts are added in a sequential manner to create a finished product much faster than with handcrafting-type methods. Can we apply the same principles to simulations?
Many a times, a new product is made by using components from some previous designs along with some new parts. So, when performing engineering simulations on the new design, is there an efficient way to leverage the unchanged components from the previous design?
In today's distributed workforce, various components of a product may be designed at different locations; some even by external contractors. When analyzing the full product, is there a way to directly use the analysis models from the different groups?
As product designs are becoming more and more complex, preparing the model for an FEA simulation can be very time consuming. ANSYS Mechanical automates many processes, like meshing and contact detection, and hence saves a lot of manual effort. The effort to build a complex model with lots of parts and contacts can grow large, however. For example, a battery pack with more than 2000 bodies and 8000 contacts may require many months of work for an advanced user. With so much manual work, the possibility of human error is high. Furthermore, when the design of some components is changed, the engineer has to redo some work over again.
A smart solution to solving large assemblies would be to break down the whole system to manageable subsystems/components. An engineer (or a team) can work in parallel on small manageable components and later combine them to create the assembly. And, when the design of a specific component is changed, it should be a small change to replace that component in the assembly model. This will reduce the design cycle as well as the human errors significantly.
ANSYS Workbench is parametric and persistent. Parametric changes to the geometry of a component model can be efficiently addressed via our geometry interfaces, which provide bi-directional connectivity with all major CAD systems. Our own geometry tool, ANSYS DesignModeler is also fully parametric. Additionally, the Parameter Manager in ANSYS Workbench allows complete control over a range of geometry, meshing, setup and results parameters. Because ANSYS Workbench is persistent, any time a model parameter is changed, the whole model is automatically updated. This allows rapid turnaround of any design changes and updates.
Once the component models are defined, these can be assembled using the for-fee ACT extension called AssemblyManager. The AssemblyManager exposes additional export and import features in the ANSYS Mechanical interface. The export feature allows exporting of selected model data and the import feature allows importing the model data to create an assembly. Multiple component models can be imported and positioned at different locations and/or patterned. When the design of a component is changed, it is possible to remove the old component and update the assembly with the new component model very easily.
Let's see how the big battery pack model is assembled from smaller components.
With the development schedules for engineering products shortening, the need to efficiently utilize the existing resources and simulation models is a very high priority for all companies.
The AssemblyManager extension provides a smart solution that makes it easy to create and manage big assemblies comprised of component models. This approach, to combine analysis models efficiently, deals with repeating or unchanged components. Hence, it allows engineers to be more productive and makes their work more enjoyable. It also helps to cut down the simulation preparation time for the current and future designs.

I've been looking at an expansion for Midgard, called The Southlands and I was figuring that it would probably be better to have Midgard too.
I know that Midgard started off as an Open Design thing, but that, more recently, it has come back as a revised thing (with new products replacing the original Open Design ones). But I am wondering what the "buy in" for Midgard is.
What book or books does a player need? And what book or books does a GM need?
Where do the other Midgard books fit into the product line? Are there any that stand out as being a lot more useful than others?
Does Midgard have any other sub-settings?
I believe that Midgard is a flatworld. How much space does the core Midgard area take up? How much of the remaining space do The Southlands take up and what (if anything) is left?
Is there anything in the original Open Design product line that has not yet been brought back as part of the new Midgard product line? If so, is any of that worth hunting down?

HOLYOKE, Mass. (WWLP) – It's been a snowy start to February for western Massachusetts and this upcoming winter storm looks to have snow of the slightly wet and heavy variety.
The difference between wet and dry snow is that wet snow doesn't accumulate quite as much as the dry stuff.
That means that an inch of rain would be equivalent to about 10 inches of wet snow, or 15 to 20 inches of dry, fluffy snow.
You can tell it's the wetter snow because it sticks to the trees, you can ball it up into snowballs or make snowmen, however it is more difficult to clean up.
Wetter snow is heavier, is a bit more difficult to snow blow and can cause injury if you try to move too much, too quickly.
"I try to be careful just for that reason, so I don't hurt my back. I do the light stuff, I don't do the heavy. The heavy stuff goes with the snow blower, my husband does that," said Jane Scahill from Springfield.
At Holyoke Medical Center, when the snow is heavier Dr. Garry Bombardier sees an increase in back and joint injuries, but also heart problems too.
"Snow, heavy snow does it. It's like the definition of what you can do if you were looking to have someone have a heart attack, have them do that kind of work in the winter. Tough," said Dr. Bombardier.
Taking your time, working slow, using proper technique and knowing your limits can prevent injuries or heart trouble.
Dr. Bombardier also recommends using a smaller shovel, so you won't be tempted to lift as much.

On Wednesday, I posted a story about how the Department of Homeland Security declared that attending a $1,000 seminar that included two live simulations of a zombie attack was an allowable expense for first responder federal grant recipients. The story was based on a report from the office of Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.
The event — on Halloween, no less — was held by the Halo Corporation. Yesterday they emailed a statement to me claiming that Coburn's report was: "misleading and inaccurate, insinuating that grant funds were used to pay for zombie apocalypse training." The main point of their response was that the event – a five day "summit" at a San Diego resort – was not solely about zombie killing and that those particular shoot'em ups were just a bonus attraction:
The Summit's approval as a training event under the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) and the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) in the state of California applied to its course curriculum only. Any eligibility for UASI or HSGP grant funding for state and local law enforcement and first responders to attend the Summit was applicable strictly to the approximately 30 courses that took place daily all five days of the Summit from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. The zombie apocalypse demonstration, which was a one-hour long exercise produced by Summit sponsor Strategic Operations on October 31, and ALL other Summit activities did not apply to the UASI or HSGP programs. (All emphasis in original.)
Based on this argument, the press release quotes HALO President Brad Barker as saying: "Absolutely no taxpayer money, DHS or UASI funds were spent on the zombie apocalypse demonstration."
This doesn't strike me as particularly persuasive. Just because HALO claims that the $1,000 attendance fee was for those other courses and not the "zombie apocalypse demonstration" does not change the fact that DHS ok'ed underwriting the attendance fee for an event that featured what was essentially a cut scene from a George Romero horror movie. The fact that the HALO corporation claims the fees were for the other training offered is irrelevent. Money is fungible after all.
The press release also includes the following:
According to Strategic Operations' Executive Vice President, Kit Lavell, "The zombie apocalypse demonstration was a very serious training exercise designed to simulate a chemical and biological mass casualty event. The zombie theme was simply meant to add some levity to a demonstration that showcased methods, techniques and technologies involved in triage, decontamination and other complex medical procedures that first responders need to be prepared for when dealing with a mass casualty exercise."
Umm, it simulates "a chemical and biological mass casualty event"? Really? How so? As several commenters to my original post pointed out, the simulation has the responders randomly shooting people (albeit made-up as zombies). How does conform any real life scenario? Surely they don't expect the responders to have to shoot the survivors of a real-life mass casualty event.
One interesting side note to this: Among the "keynote speakers" at the event was Cindy McCain, wife of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. HALO Corporation spokeswoman Sandy Moul told me via email:
Our president Brad Barker arranged to have her as a keynote speaker because she is known for her advocacy work in the area of human trafficking. Human trafficking was one of the subjects covered during the Summit in our course curriculum, and her keynote speech was about human trafficking. We were very fortunate to have someone of her knowledge, experience and passion in the area of combating human trafficking speak at the Summit. She did not receive any compensation for participating in the event, and no, Senator McCain was not in attendance.
UPDATE: John Hart, spokesman for Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., emailed the following statement in reaction to the HALO Corporation's claims that the senator's report was "misleading and inaccurate":
HALO is responding to a report that is different from what was written. Our report faults DHS for deeming the summit an allowable expense for attendees. If HALO doesn't want their events criticized then don't work with DHS, which operates on taxpayer funds. Plus, holding events at what they called an "island paradise" is a red flag. The bottom line is the zombie apocalypse show was in part made possible by summit attendees whose fees were deemed an allowable expense by DHS – fees which could, of course, be reimbursed by taxpayers.

Congratulations on completing edits!
Bringing Twelve Kings to a Close
I recently finished up the page proofs for Twelve Kings and turned them in to DAW Books. Pretty soon, the final version will be completed, which is essentially a product of taking my input, plus a proof-reader's and folding all of those in to the final ms form. There may be one or two tiny back-and-forths between me and the production editor, small clarifications and the like, but that'll be about it. In other words, my time working on the ACTUAL BOOK is essentially done.
Going through these page proofs was interesting. I put a lot more pressure on myself this time to make sure the story was solid all around. Not that I didn't do that with The Lays of Anuskaya. I did. But I'm a better writer now. I've learned a lot. So in some ways I'm more able to dig deeper. And I did. This is by far the most amount of effort I've poured into a book to date, and I hope it shows in the final product. Anyway, back to the page proofs. What was interesting to me was just how dejected I felt as I was going through the final read-through. And I think it was because of the pressure I was putting on myself. I was focusing entirely on the negatives and ignoring the positives, because frankly, the positives had lost their shine for me. I love the book. But distilling a book down to its negative essence will bring any writer down. It certainly did for me.
But by the same token, it was nice to go through the process of copying all the comments I had to a marked-up PDF that I turned in to DAW. It went very quickly, and didn't feel nearly so bad as my self-conscious mind had made it out to be in the read-through. The edits I was making were really quite small. A word here. A change to sentence structure there. Typos. Clarifications. Really minor stuff. The page I included above was the worst of it, and even that wasn't really that bad. It just looked chock full of errors because I rewrote on passage several times. All in all, it was nice to see that the changes were minor, and that the book was ready to be wrapped up and turned in.
Does that mean I'm completely comfortable with it? No. I'm human. I worry there are still things I missed. And I also wonder how long I could tinker with the story. Probably forever. And as my tastes change, so would the book. That's part of why I don't want to take years to complete a book, for the simple fact that as I grow as a writer, my tastes and abilities will grow and change too. It's a sad fact that for nearly all writers (badly paraphrasing John Lasseter from Pixar) we don't so much finish a book as we're forced to release one every so often.
There's more for me to do with Twelve Kings, of course. I'm helping with the catalog and cover copy. I'm adding input where I can to the artwork and the cover design. But really, that's mostly in the hands of my respective publishers, DAW, Gollancz, Brilliance Audio, and Droemer Knaur.
I'll also be spending a lot of time in the promotional department, helping to push the book before release, spending a fair bit of effort in the few weeks around the release itself, and helping to tend to the book after the flurry of the initial release has died down.
So what am I doing now? I'm just wrapping up In the Stars I'll Find You, my second short story collection that was part of the Six by Six Kickstarter I ran last year with Brenda Cooper, Martha Wells, Tina Connolly, Stephen Gaskell, and Will McIntosh. I have copy edits to fold in once I receive them from Marty Halpern, but once that's done, it's just the fulfillment, which is e-only for the short term. Later this year I plan to put out some physical copies for those that like 'em.
I also have a few short story projects that are coming out this year. My story, "Irindai", is in the Blackguards anthology from Ragnarok Publications. And "Brightwine in the Garden of Tsitsian Village" has been turned in to editor Shawn Speakman for inclusion in the Unfettered II anthology. Both of these are Shattered Sands stories, prequels to Twelve Kings in Sharakhai. A third Shattered Sands story, "Born of a Trickster God", will appears in my short story collection, and I'll be writing one more later this year, all to help widen the world revealed in Twelve Kings in Sharakhai.
Beyond that, though, I'm now full bore into Book Two, which is tentatively titled With Blood Upon the Sand. It's been nice digging into the story again. I've essentially had to reboot where the story was left off at the end of Book 1 (made so much easier by all the effort I've been putting into copy edits and now page proofs) and also where I thought the book was headed. I cut about 50k words from the end of Twelve Kings before going through a massive rewrite after Beta reader feedback. So I have a decent idea where the book ends. And I know roughly where it starts. So now I'm plowing through the early pages, trying to find my sea legs again, hoping to make more consistent headway.
And it's coming. I can feel the story developing in my mind each day I write. Pretty soon I'll hit the muddle in the middle, and fight my way through that to the end. I've got about 67k written so far. I imagine the first draft is going to be something like 180k or so. Which means I have about 5 months-worth of writing to do for a zeroth draft, and maybe 2 more for a readable first draft.
It's a long haul, but I'm really loving the world. I hope you do as well when it finally hits the shelves.

On the spur of the moment, a few weeks ago I decided to go get my hair drastically chopped. I've had long hair for as long as I can remember so getting it snipped was a very strange experience for me. I opted for a longish blunt cut bob as I thought it would be very chic, get rid of all my dead ends and switch my look up a bit. I'm so happy with the results but initially I was very concerned about getting it cut so different from my usual style. All it took was a tiny bit of courage. It's such a change if you are used to having long hair. Come on girls, Hands up - How many of us hide behind our long locks? We use it like a safety net. Today Im going to share with you four reasons why you should cut your hair short...
So many people have commented on how "fresh" I look since getting my hair snipped. Long hair is all well and good, Don't get me wrong. But I've had my hair long for as long as I can remember, even as a child. I then came to realise that I let my hair define me too much. Ombre hair was my thing for ages, and I've barely changed my hair cut since 2005. I've received so much positive feedback on my hair I felt like my head was going to explode with all the compliments. People say its really refreshed my whole look and I'm pretty chuffed with that.
Fresh to Death
I know its silly but drastically changing your hair can really change the way you feel. Hair cuts are really cathartic, and you know that ol' saying that girls always change their hair after a breakup. Yeah its superficial but switching things up can do wonders for your confidence and make you feel like a whole new woman. It's liberating in a way to go for something so different from what you are used to.
Hair Therapy
I save so much time styling my hair now that my hair is short. It used to take me anything from 30 mins to an hour to wash, dry and style my hair. Post chop I can get it all done in less than 20 minutes. I use way less product and my drying time is literally a 1/3rd of what it used to be. So good for anyone who hates to spend ages drying their hair!
Time Saver
Is there a better reason to chop your hair off other than you only live once? Well probably yes but still... Hair grows back. Albeit a bit slower than you might like but sooner or later its going to grow back. How will you know if short hair doesn't suit you unless you try it once! Experiment and try something new, you might feel more you with a new hair do than you did before! Gwan... be brave!
Because YOLO*
Would you consider cutting your hair short?

Pat Beverley got a jump on his 26th birthday, celebrating it in Taiwan between his role in clinics and tournaments there. But he also could not wait to send a message.
The Rockets were reeling from the stunning decision of Chris Bosh to remain in Miami hours after the Rockets sent Beverley's point guard partner, Jeremy Lin, to the Lakers to make room for Bosh. Beverley sent word back home.
"No matter what," he wrote on Twitter, "We will be a force this year."
A day later, with the Rockets coming to an agreement with Trevor Ariza, he was even more convinced.
"We still have our two stars and me and T.J. (Terrence Jones)," Beverley said. "I think we'll still be a force to reckon with. We're going to be good no matter what. We all work on our games in the summer time. We are all focused to get better. The people that are there will play their hearts out."
In their first full season playing regularly, Jones and Beverley started last season, leading Beverley to believe there would be improvement from within just from that experience.
"It was my first feel season, T.J.'s first full season," Beverley said. "We opened some eyes. T.J. is one of the rising stars. I was one of the leaders of this team, especially from a point guard position. The second time around will make it easier. I think we're ready to step up.
"I think Trevor is a great pickup. I think Daryl Morey is putting a solid team together, like he always does. I think Trevor can shoot the ball, he can defend, he is what we need. It's a great pickup. It's very important to keep Chandler (Parsons.) He started in Houston. He's one of the core guys. His versatility helps us a lot, but I don't put the team together. We trust in Daryl (Morey). If we don't get CP, we can roll with what we have."
Beverley, however, said it was difficult to learn that Lin had been traded.
"He was a part of our core," Beverley said. "We were really, really, really close. We finished a lot of games together. I depended on him a lot, and he depended on me. It's sad."
Beverley, however, made sure the Rockets still had a point guard big in Taiwan, if not to Lin's level. He had been in Taiwan for five days as part of the Cathay NBA Youth Madness, a month-long, university-based, 3-on-3 basketball tournament. He has found himself much more well-known than in his previous trip, when the Rockets played in Taipei last preseason.
"The second time is a charm," Beverley said. "It's a fun exhibition, watching 3-one-3 street ball and teaching some moves. It's good for me, good for the Rockets, good for my brand that I'm trying to build. We're been having fun. Being that Jeremy's family is from here and we played on the same team, they know me a little better, but the fans over here are well-educated about basketball.
"It's definitely been fun. I'm ready to come home to Houston and start back working out."

Nothing is quite as depressing these days as watching Martin Scorsese execute an elaborate tracking shot and seeing nothing more than wheels clicking, all exacting technique and no conviction. His Gothic period mystery Shutter Island proposes cinema as projections of tormented visions -- the movie house as madhouse. The titular asylum for the criminally insane, first glimpsed through the Boston Harbor fog like a remembrance of King Kong, is described as a fusion of "moral order and clinical care"; unfortunately, the humorless fortissimo approach here makes it less emotionally resonant or artistically coherent than Mel Brooks' "Institute for the Very, Very Nervous" in High Anxiety. The year is 1954, the protagonist is a federal agent (Leonardo DiCaprio) whose skull is just about splitting open from private and collective traumas. His wife's ghost (Michelle Williams) murmurs in his ear, the liberation of Dachau and the H-bomb keep churning inside of him, hell, even the HUAC gets in on the party. "Seen any waking nightmares lately, marshal?" Ben Kingsley is posed next to statues of fauns and Max von Sydow wraps himself in Mahler as the head analysts, the lunatics include Emily Mortimer as Medea and Elias Koteas as a cartoon of Robert De Niro. Only the uniform separates the staff from the patients, a joke Scorsese misses as he strains to pump this amalgam of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Shock Corridor and The Shining with the Significance expected from the Greatest American Filmmaker. He fills the screen with storms, fire, thunder, rats and icy-blue corpses, but behind the feverish mood there's only fumbled surrealism and Psychiatry 101. ("You wanna uncover the truth? You gotta let it go," the hero is told. Who knew Dr. Phil held the cure for the calamities of the twentieth century?) By the time Marty Night Shyamalan gets to the Big Twist at the end, it's obvious that the director is the inmate scratching the walls of his bricked cell. I'm hoping he can break out soon, hopefully before his next project.
While Shutter Island aims to dilate Val Lewton horrors (think of Bedlam and Isle of the Dead smooshed together and drowned in kerosene), The Limits of Control seeks to distill Jean-Pierre Melville's Zen gangland sagas. A distillation of a distillation can be exasperating, and, indeed, Jim Jarmusch's album of existential-hitman calisthenics precipitated a few of last year's most vituperative critical responses. Seeing it on DVD recently, however, I found myself nodding in agreement with some of the detractors' points -- willful abstruseness, assumptions about globalized communication and art, "pretentiousness" -- while still being caught up in Jarmusch's mesmeric stylistic flow. The unnamed wanderer (Isaach De Bankolé) is an expressionless Mr. Cool whose arcane mission involves ambling around Madrid, turning down Paz de la Huerta in a see-through raincoat, and playing audience to a roll call of indie hepcats. Tilda Swinton materializes with silver tresses under a cowboy hat and John Hurt babbles about bohemians, Alex Descas, Youki Kudoh and Gael Garcia Bernal also turn up, each gets a monologue about film, science, painting, music. "Everything is subjective. Whatever that means." The final stop is a Seville fortress lorded over by "The American" (Bill Murray), whose appearance as a baronial corporate honcho (or is it a studio producer?) posits the movie as an auteur's self-mythologizing fairy-tale, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia with expressos in place of blood. With its encoded meanings, ritualistic repetitions and rehearsals, it's clearly about artistic awareness and the filmmaking process. Gaseous as it often is, Control offers an astonishingly sensuous experience. Christopher Doyle's uncanny lighting, the layered sound design (Schubert, fuzzy guitars, whirring helicopters), the sense of oneiric drift (airplanes, escalators, cars, trains and trucks play key roles), the surprising editing... I kept thinking of William Blake's "doors of perception," as tangible here as in Dead Man, Jarmusch's last great film.
Mel Gibson's first starring role in eight years, Edge of Darkness is very aware of having gotten Mr. Crucifixion back in front of the camera: "You had better decide whether you're hanging on the cross or banging in the nails," Gibson growls at a bad guy. (Later on, another joke: "Do you speak Latin?") That's about all the wit in this predictable, sturdy vigilante thriller, which wastes no time getting its dour star in purgative-vendetta mode -- Gibson is a Boston police detective, his daughter (Bojana Novakovic) is introduced only to be shotgunned in front of him, her blood spattered on his face is already war paint. His personal investigation unearths acres of government-corporate menace, including radiation-dusted whistleblowers, Danny Huston oozing from atop his glassy fortress, and even a bit of Kiss Me Deadly stashed inside a milk bottle. Ray Winstone is the aboundingly philosophical underworld cleaner, who uses bourbon to wash down pills and lines like "There's something about the darkness, but I like it" and "We're all terminal, aren't we? Even middle management." The material is compressed from the 1985 British miniseries, though Martin Campbell's direction keeps the uneasy mix of Death Wish 2 and Michael Clayton taut for a good deal of the running time. The hushed dread of characters whispering to themselves, always afraid of being watched or run over or contaminated with nuclear fallout, might seem like the opposite of the slam-bang kineticism Campbell brought to his superb Casino Royale remake, yet the emphasis on men ultimately drained by the very vengeance that marks them as "action heroes" suggests a trenchant thematic motif emerging from this expert craftsman. And Gibson himself, whose visage by now conjures up the surreal image of sagging granite, parades a weathered single-mindedness that would be risible if it weren't so authentic.
Adolescence is hell, and so are most movies about it. Youth in Revolt merely reinforces the unwritten law that every artsy Sundance grad has to at one point direct a teen/stoner/gross-out comedy. It's Miguel Arteta's turn at bat in this smug, dead-air-riddled adaptation of C.D. Payne's novel, with Michael Cera as, surprise!, a spindly juvenile with retro tastes and a raging libido. To woo his dream girl (Portia Doubleday), the shy dweeb/budding psycho imagines a bold, Gallic doppelganger who, played by Cera with lip fuzz and cig, suggests Tyler Durden from Fight Club reborn as a lemur. I've had about enough of Cera trying to wring laughs from sotto-sardonic pronunciations of things like "slatternly wench" and "sweet angel of the lavatory," though I still smiled when, asked whether Ozu or Mizoguchi directed Tokyo Story, he gazes in the distance and hurls a mock-thoughtful "Who can say?" Shift from Northern California to Essex, England, and you find the miserabilist feminine version of the tale in Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank. The sullen protagonist (Katie Jarvis) is a pissed-off 15-year-old whose mimicking of hip-hop grinding functions as an illusory escape from an existence of grim housing projects, slipshod families, and junkyards. Phony vérité to complement the phony formalism of Arnold's Red Road, it goes for jittery-camera grit but comes off like Mike Leigh minus the humor and human insight. Some noteworthy acting from the feral Jarvis, Kierston Wareing as the hard-partying Mum, and above all Michael Fassbender, who, as the older dude in the girl's hormonal tangle, continues to amaze with his charisma, presence, and subtlety. In the end, however, it's a retread of An Education, another case of a female filmmaker willing to explore the erotic yearning and tensions in her young heroine's life but still settling for neat, she's-gonna-make-it-after-all climaxes.

Reducing the amount of sugar in children's cereals and snack products is a tricky process, especially when trying to replace the sweetness and functionality sugar provides.
"The drive is on to try to help cut sugars out in some places where they can be to make it a little bit less mainstream in everything (children) grab," said Linda Wilson, business development manager for bars at Glanbia Nutritionals, Monroe, Wis.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, added sugars in processed and prepared foods represents about 16% of children's total caloric intake. But discretionary calories should only represent between 5% and 15% of total daily caloric intake, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010.
As a result, Kelly Belknap, application scientist with Grain Processing Corp., Muscatine, Iowa, said customers are under pressure to meet certain requirements, like those set out by the National School Lunch Program. These customers want help with sugar reduction, and many are working with school nutrition programs.
Technical challenges and solutions
Ms. Wilson said the functional reason cereals and bars are typically high in sugar is because the sugar acts as a binding agent and helps the product hold together during its shelf life.
"It's very hard to get good binding capabilities once you start taking sugars out," Ms. Wilson said. "There are some other means that can be used, but they just don't hold together as well as your typical syrup-type systems do."
Glanbia, which was challenged by one of the big three cereal manufacturers to develop a solution for binding, created OptiSol 2000. In many applications, OptiSol 2000 may help reduce sugar 25% without having to add anything to replace the sweetness, Ms. Wilson said.
The technology duplicates the binding functionality of a normal syrup system. A number of cereals and granola bars featuring the OptiSol 2000 binding technology are set to be introduced later this year, she said.Glanbia would like to expand its efforts to help reduce sugar in fruit snacks and confections, and the company is beginning to work on such projects.
Wade Schmelzer, principal food scientist of health and nutrition at Cargill, Minneapolis, said several technical challenges with sugar reduction in cereal include the fact sugar contributes to appearance with the frosted look. Sugar also contributes to moisture migration for the milk and helps keep cereal crisp longer, and achieving a good sweet impact with less sugar is difficult. He said whitening agents may be used to help with the frosted appearance.
Mr. Schmelzer and Jane Friedrich, principal scientist with snacks and cereals at Cargill, emphasized the need to add bulk back into snacks and cereals once the sugar has been removed. Inulin is one ingredient that may be used, but it also provides additional fiber, and, depending on the needs of the consumer, not every manufacturer wants the added fiber.
When looking to reduce sugar in formulations, Mr. Schmelzer said manufacturers must consider their ultimate goal.
"Is their ultimate goal to stay as sweet as they currently are, or are they progressively going to make some small step-wise changes in reducing sweetness? Because that's going to impact the tools they are going to have to think about using," Mr. Schmelzer said.
Stevia expanding to foods
Ms. Belknap said most companies are looking to high-intensity sweeteners to help with sugar reduction, and GPC produces maltodextrin products to help replace the solids that are lost during sugar reduction.
After initially being used in beverages, companies are starting to look to stevia as the high-intensity sweetener of choice. Ms. Friedrich said cereal products with stevia are beginning to emerge, with more set to be introduced.
Meanwhile, Mr. Schmelzer said Cargill has done studies with mothers on acceptance of stevia in children's products and received positive feedback.
"The growth of stevia in the marketplace has been extremely good in the last few years, and every indication is that trajectory is going to continue," Mr. Schmelzer said. "So there is an acceptance level. The next wave of this is acceptance for the entire household."
He said when stevia is used to provide sweetness, they start looking for ways to help boost or round out the sweetness to get the right impact. There is a balance between enhancing sweetness and masking other flavors.
"It's a very holistic approach … it's not just a matter of taking out sugar and replacing it with stevia … it's around how do I recreate the experience for consumers with the tools I have in the toolbox beyond just sweetness," Mr. Schmelzer said.
More stevia ingredient products are coming onto the market to make working with the natural sweetener easier. Recently Pyure Brands L.L.C. introduced PyureBlend SOA, a stevia and agave inulin blend.
"The ultimate goal is to provide the end user with something that is very close to sugar and to take the guess work out of it because there is a lot of tweaking you need to do when working with just stevia extract," said Philip Coggins, national sales manager for Pyure Brands.
While the product initially is being used in beverages, Mr. Coggins said he sees potential for use in foods, and they've had trials in cookie and bar applications.
What's happening in the market?
Mr. Schmelzer cited a slow decline in the amount of sugar in cereals during the past five years, but it's not something companies are highlighting to consumers. Ms. Friedrich said this is in part due to the fact companies may not be reducing sugar enough to make a claim, but they are making efforts to reduce sugar where they can.
"In the snacks and cereal space as well as some other categories, they are all trying to figure out what the best way is to position these kind of reduced cereal and snack products," Mr. Schmelzer said. "How do I position these in the market? There is a little bit more involved marketing angle that takes a little bit longer to get those types of products to market."
Datamonitor, Canandaigua, N.Y., found about 48% of U.S. consumers said low sugar or no added sugar claims had a high or very high influence on them when choosing a food or beverage product. However, this is below the global 20-country average of 54%. Datamonitor found sweet spreads, chewing gum, breakfast cereals and cereal bars, and sugar confectionery were the top food categories for low or no sugar claims. Hot cereals also have seen some noticeable activity in sugar reduction. Tom Vierhile, innovation insights director with Datamonitor, said many categories trying to reduce sugar are categories where sugar may have a negative connotation.
"I do think there will be some new products that will come out in the future, but I think the big challenge is how we get those million-dollar selling products to taste exactly like what the consumer is used to," Ms. Wilson said. "The consumer wants it, but I don't think they want to compromise what they are used to either."
According to Mintel's Global New Products Database, there were 416 beverage and 518 food products with low, no or reduced sugar claims in 2011, which compared with 323 beverage and 675 food products in 2010. So far in 2012, there have been 179 beverage and 321 food products launched with such claims.

for friends fighting hard battles
"be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle"
I wish I could give your heart peace.
I wish I could say or do something to make it better.
But I can only offer that I'm here – though I
am a bitter, selfish, prideful person, I will try my
best to be here for you – and I can carry your burdens with you.
Don't keep it in, don't feel like you can't share. If
you open up and I ignore, forget, don't understand
the depth of your struggles, am not there in the
ways you need, then the fault is with me, not
you, the things you're going through, or the way
you're feeling.
And if you want, if you don't mind, let me make
an attempt, however imperfect or unpoetic, however
honest and real on my part, to tell you of the
One I believe CAN give your heart peace. Who
can do something to make it better.
Who carried your burdens long ago.
I am trying to remember this message, too, dear friend.
I am feeble, fickle, weak, and small. As I said, I am
a bitter, selfish person. I am full of fear, a worrier.
Let us walk together toward Him, learn to lay
our burdens down and sit at His feet.

We call it the fiscal cliff, but really it's a $5 trillion game of chicken, and neither side appears to be budging. The White House is ''absolutely prepared" to allow economically ruinous tax increases and budget cuts to take place on January 1, while Republican anti-tax stalwart Grover Norquist now thinks the cliff dive is inevitable.
While newsrooms across the country are consumed with the minute-to-minute developments, Wall Street has remained oddly calm and is sticking with its consensus that a deal will ultimately get done.
"Wall Street understands what negotiations look like," says Nick Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx Group, who predicts the wrangling has to go down to the final hours, even though the stakes are enormous. "There's nothing else that matters nearly as much. This is, in fact, a critical issue. It is the difference between the potential for expansion, economically, next year and a sure recession."
While the tone and tenor of the talks appears to be worsening and the likelihood of a deal seems to be contracting with each passing day, Colas is not all that worried yet and says it's just part of the process. "You've got to make your opponent think you're crazy enough to do the unexpected," he says.
That's not to say investors don't care. In fact, Colas thinks the markets will show lawmakers just how much they really do care in a matter of days. "Unfortunately, what happens is Wall Street usually has to put a warning shot across the bow of Congress and the President in order to get things done. So that will probably happen next week," Colas predicts.If that happens, the dynamics of December could make for an outsized sell-off, Colas explains, since there's not a lot of volume and people are either in vacation mode or heading out of town. "Decembers are really a bad time to have a large, exogenous event like this kind of failure," he says, adding that any type of shock is going to have a "disproportionate effect." Which, if you think about it, might just be what's needed to break the impasse.

Item of the Day: Trellie
Most people would agree that constantly checking a cell phone during a meeting, romantic date, family outing—or really any social or business occasion—is considered rude. And even when it is socially acceptable, it's still easy to miss important calls. Ever try hearing a phone ring in a noisy restaurant? How about actually finding that phone in the bottomless pit of a handbag?
To the rescue is Trellie, a useful little gadget that hangs on the outside of a handbag and offers inconspicuous alerts of incoming phone calls. The company was started by two guys eternally frustrated by not being able to reach their wives—both who tended to keep their phones buried deep inside their handbags. Missing a call about tentative dinner plans is one thing, but missing an urgent call from your child's school nurse is another story.
The solution? This patent-pending wireless call notifier hangs in plain view and flashes blue and white when a call comes through to your mobile phone. If you miss the call, Trellie keeps blinking but at a lower pace and switches off when you return or place a new call (it turns off after an hour). According to the company, new versions will let the user customize Trellie to just blink for certain urgent callers.
According to Venturebeat, wearable tech is a budding, $19 billion industry. And in this case, form does equal function.

The Inexperienced Chauffeur lives up to his name by driving wildly through the busy streets, knocking over fruit stands, bicyclists, and pedestrians with reckless abandon. No one is hurt, but plenty of the driver's victims are hopping mad. Each one gives chase after the careless motorist, and before long practically everyone in town is running after the out-of-control car. But the chauffeur is a shade too fast and too resourceful for his pursuers. Driving his car into a department store, he lays waste to its contents as his victims flail their arms and jump about. Finally, he runs out of gas, whereupon his pursuers beat the daylights out of him.

PodCastle Miniature 66: The Witch's Second Daughter
Read by Jen Rhodes (of the Anomaly Podcast)
Originally published in Andromeda Spaceways #49.
The flowers of the forest outside the witch's cottage bloomed black, with little shiny purple leaves. The villagers tried to say the blossoms themselves were deep purple, not a true black, but Garren was the second daughter of a witch, schooled from birth that she must never, never call things what she knew they were not.
Telven, Garren's older sister, had the other half of the witch's training, and that was to always, always call things what she knew they were not. Telven called an carven oak a man and made of him a husband, who was solid and dependable though not, perhaps, as swift as some. She called a cave a home, and made it cozy and neat, though she could not keep cheese in it more than two days for the mold. She called their mother wise and listened to her council.
The way of the second daughter was harder.

Sony Shows Off New Xperia Smartphone
Published on: 24th Feb 2014
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
Sony Mobile has shown off its newest flagship smartphone the waterproof Xperia Z2, which it said will go on sale as soon as next month.
The phone comes with a 20.7 megapixel camera that has been matched with 1/2.3-type Exmor RS for mobile CMOS image sensor, Sony's G Lens and BIONZ for mobile image processing engine.
The video facility can now record in full 4k resolution (3840×2160 pixels/30p) -- or four times the detail of Full HD.
The Xperia Z2 also has a slimmer and more comfortable feel that its predecessor by having the glass panels encased in a single, solid aluminium frame with smoother edges.
The processor is a quad-core 2.3Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon model. It is presumed to be Android based, although curiously the company didn't say that.
The estimated retail price was also not confirmed.

Safety Janzen Jackson has been dismissed from the University of Tennessee football team, head coach Derek Dooley announced in a release from the school sent on Wednesday.
Jackson, who reportedly failed multiple drug tests, left UT in February and then re-enrolled in July.
"Our program has devoted a tremendous amount of energy, resources, support, and care in an effort to help Janzen manage his personal challenges," Dooley said. "I will always be there to help him as a person, but there comes a time when a player's actions preclude him from the privilege of playing for the University of Tennessee football team.
"Although I'm disappointed with this outcome, we will never compromise the long-term organizational values and goals we maintain here at Tennessee."
Jackson, a junior from Lake Charles, La., also ran into trouble as a freshman in 2009. He was suspended for three games, two for his part in a failed armed robbery attempt with a couple teammates.
Jackson made 22 starts in 23 games played and tied for the team lead in interceptions with five in 2010. He also led the Volunteers' secondary last season with 69 tackles, earning All-Southeastern Conference Second Team honors. The 6-foot, 187-pounder finishes his career at UT with six interceptions, 15 passes defended and 106 tackles.

Authorities today told that they found child pornography at the house of Craig Michael Wood. The discovery comes after the discovery of the body of ten year old Springfield Missouri girl, Hailey Owens was found in the middle-school football coach's basement in garbage bags, shortly after Wood was seen brazenly abducting the girl off the streets a few hours earlier.
Why did Craig Michael Wood abduct and kill Hailey Owens?
According to nbc, police warrants discovered a three binder containing pornographic photos of young children. Authorities also came to seize computers, cameras, 15 guns and 30 video recordings from the home.
Upon discovering the body of Hailey Owens, authorities told she had incurred a gunshot wound to the head. She had also apparent ligature marks on her arms. It has not been revealed whether Craig Michael Wood sexually molested the girl or raped her or copulated over her. An autopsy is pending.
That said the question is raised is if Craig Michael Wood a pedophile and has he sexually preyed on other children as well, and if so how many and are there any other young girls deceased that authorities do not know about?
At a brief hearing Friday, Wood's lawyer said he plans to plead not guilty to the charges of first-degree murder, kidnapping and armed criminal action.

Hispanics in America Are Significantly Less Likely to Have Health Insurance
Written by Sy Mukherjee
Hispanic Americans in every U.S. state are more likely to be uninsured than the general population and other minorities, according to new data from the Census Bureau.
The new numbers find that more than 40 percent of Hispanics who live in southern states like Mississippi and North Carolina don't have basic health insurance. All told, nearly a third of Hispanics are uninsured in over half of all U.S. states — a far higher figure than other minority groups such as African Americans:
The insurance gap underscores how critical Obamacare implementation will be for Hispanics — and specifically, Latinos — living in America. High population states with large Hispanic communities stand to benefit the most from the health law's optional Medicaid expansion and subsidies for individual policies that can be purchased through statewide insurance marketplaces. For instance, more than 15 million of the 48 million uninsured Americans live in California, Texas and Florida alone — and the vast majority of them are Hispanic.
Getting health benefits through Medicaid or the Obamacare marketplaces could help these Americans afford to manage chronic conditions that disproportionately affect them, such as diabetes. Latinos tend to have type-2 diabetes at almost double the rate that non-Latinos do.
Unfortunately, stubborn GOP opposition to Obamacare is likely to deny health coverage to millions of these Americans. Approximately 57 percent of all uninsured Hispanics live at or below 138 percent of the Federal Poverty Level. States that expand Medicaid under Obamacare will get generous federal funding to provide public insurance to Americans at that income level. But almost every state with the highest rates of uninsured Hispanics — including Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi and North Carolina — has refused to expand Medicaid under reform.

The Phoenix Sun fired head coach Earl Watson, the NBA team announced on Sunday.
The Suns have lost their opening three games of the season, with two defeats by more than 40 points.
Phoenix have also allowed at least 124 points in all three fixtures, following their 130-88 rout against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Suns associate coach Jay Triano has been named interim head coach.

Watson took over Phoenix's head coaching position in 2016 on an interim basis, replacing Jeff Hornacek.
The Suns have failed to show improvement since Watson became head coach permanently – recording an overall record of 33-85 – capped by an abysmal display this season.
Suns guard Eric Bledsoe caught everyone's attention on Twitter with a cryptic tweet on Sunday.
The Suns host the Sacramento Kings on Monday.

LANSING, MICH- Michigan Democratic state Rep. Lisa Brown found herself in the spotlight after mentioning the word 'vagina' while opposing an anti-abortion bill on the House floor. Subsequently Brown was barred from speaking during debate the following day for using a word that House Republicans deemed as 'vulgar' and 'disrespectful'
The incident sparked a social media frenzy as users took to the internet to express their take on the vagina controversy. But one Michigan man was unexpectedly thrust into the reproductive fray.
Dane Anderson, a 26-year-old, resident of Lansing, Mich, was rushed to the hospital Friday after doctors say Anderson passed out due to what can only be described as suffering from extreme fits of laughter.
"Normally when I hear that word (vagina) my face slowly turns red and I giggle," said Anderson.
"Usually I don't come across it (vagina) very often but last week people were just giving it up left and right. People were talking about it on Facebook and Twitter, and almost every news anchor was talking about it. My immaturity was almost the death of me, but I can't help it. It's a very funny word."
Paramedics resuscitated Anderson on the way to the hospital. Anderson explained what it was like to almost laugh to death.
"I was on my knees laughing, then suddenly I couldn't breathe," said Anderson.
"It was scary and than I began to cry uncontrollably and I thought that was hilarious, so I went into another manic fit of laughter. The last thing I saw was stars and passed out."
Although doctors can't seem to explain why the word vagina is funny, they do say it is possible to die from laughing too hard. Laughter activates the part of the brain that's responsible for the flight or fight response to threats in the wild. The activation releases a natural chemical adrenaline, which in high doses can be toxic to various organs, in particular the heart.
Thanks to paramedics Anderson failed to become the third recordable case of death caused by laughter in the world. The Greek philosopher Chrysippus was said to have died from laughing after getting his donkey drunk on wine and recently, a Danish audiologist died laughing in 1989 while watching "A Fish Called Wanda."
Anderson's recent near death experience from hearing the word vagina is now being utilized as a political tool by Michigan House Republicans. Republican Rep. Mick Callton, who previously criticized Rep. Brown for using vagina, calling it 'offensive' spoke late Saturday.
"It's pretty clear that today we can say we were on the right side of history," said Callton.
"A young man almost died after hearing 'vagina,' clearly that is a word that should not be used in public. If you want to use that word in your free time by all means, but do not flaunt it in our faces. When a woman doesn't know how to use vagina properly, then its up to the man to take matters into his own hands."
Rep. Brown was unavailable for comment Sunday.

This morning I came across The Reverse Job Application by Andrew Horner. Frustrated by an unsuccessful two year job hunt after graduating from college, he created a website that highlights his skills and why he decided to approach job hunting in this way.
This is a reverse job application. I am done asking people to hire me, for several reasons. First and foremost, it clearly doesn't work. Second, it closes me off to a lot of potentially amazing opportunities; I can only find and apply to so many jobs, and there are doubtlessly hundreds of thousands out there that I would be a great fit for. Third and finally, the application process undermines my value as a worker. I have gone my entire life consistently producing excellent results at every task I set my mind to, and quite frankly, employers should be coming to me, not the other way around.
What I like is that he is drawing attention to himself, in an easy, clear, and funny way. I also like that he is stating what he is looking for in a company and opening himself to different opportunities. Finding the right *fit* for any job is important to both the employer and employee and by laying out expectations and interests, that aspect of the hiring process may be easier for him.
Additionally, I think we take a similar approach, albeit in more subtle ways, when utilize social media for career advancement purposes. We try to make ourselves stand out, push content that showcases our skills, and develop relationships that could eventually be beneficial.
At the same, this makes me wonder, aside from tone–is what he doing really that unique? Who isn't online talking about how awesome they are and looking for offers (check out the hire me tab above)? And as an employer I would have to wonder: Why haven't you been hired? Surely it just cant be because you didn't have a website up, yes? Calling attention to numerous rejections is, in my opinion, a bad move (especially when, unfortunately, employers have he upper hand in this economy).
And whatever happened to creating a job? Of course entrepreneurship isn't for everyone, yet something must be said for refining your skills by doing side projects where you can showcase and refine your talent and are more compelling than a website telling folks to hire you. Indeed, saying you should be hired is very different from demonstrating why you should be hired.
Hopefully he'll update the website and let us know of his progress and experiences.
So what do you think? Should you get employers to come to you?

Why am I a fan of organic baby products? To put it sweetly, sometimes our daintiest parts get the angriest. I really care about the kinds of products that go in those dainty places.
Now there's a new line of super-pure skin softeners from Australia that we think you'll love, especially if your baby has problems with eczema, cradle cap, dry skin, or diaper rash. Or even if you mamas have skin issues yourselves.
Every product from miniOrganics is formulated using the most
comprehensive organic standards in the world. That means no GMOs, no
pesticide residues, no petrochemicals or sulfates or parabens. And it
also means they work like a slippery dream.
One of my favorite products is their Calming and Hydrating Mist,
a pure, chamomile-based hydrosol that is perfect for soothing an angry
red diaper area. I especially like it for those so-called "velcro poops"
that would otherwise use an entire box of wipes. (You know the ones.) I also love the
certified organic Superfine Jojoba, which you can dribble into a bath
for skin softening and soothing, or use it to gently scrub off pesky
cradle cap. It's like liquid gold.
But my most very favorite miniOrganics product has got to be the Pregnancy Essentials Nourishing Body Oil.
I'm a big proponent of skipping all the chemicals and just using oils
as moisturizers, and this one has seriously upped the ante on making my
skin glow. It's a rich mixture of oils from jojoba to rose hip to
avocado, blended in with some soft, pregnancy-safe essential oils for a
natural but luscious scent that makes me think of Cleopatra rising from
an anointed bath. At least, that's what I tell myself while I'm drying
off with the ratty, kid-wet airplane towel and stepping on the bath
The only caveat? These luxurious, ultra-pure organic
products are pricey. Still, if you're looking to seriously pamper angry
skin, your stretching belly, your cracked nipples, and your baby's butt will thank you.~Delilah
