Q. One of my electricians asked if it was a Code violation to install a 200A-rated, 42-circuit-load center, main lugs only, with protection consisting of a 100A switch/circuit breaker. I know I have read a good, sound, and reasonable response against this practice; however, I can't find it in the NEC or elsewhere. Can someone "refresh" my memory? —R.M.B.
A. I see no NEC violation with this arrangement, although it might not be good practice. Sec. 384-16 (a) says to protect the panelboard with not more than two main circuit breakers or two sets of fuses, with a combined rating not more than the rating of the panelboard. Exception No. 1 says the overcurrent protection for the panelboard may be in the feeder supplying the panelboard, if the overcurrent rating is not more than the rating of the panelboard. Since the 100A switch/CB is rated less than the 200A panelboard, it meets NEC requirements. —G.C.
A. There's no Code violation in connecting a 200A panelboard to a 100A feeder. The feeder's protective device, consisting of a fused switch or circuit breaker, will properly protect the 200A-rated bus bars in the panel. In fact, it will "overprotect" them. Although such arrangements "pass Code," they are not advisable, because the nameplate on the panelboard may mislead someone looking for capacity to serve new loads. This can be a booby trap for the inexperienced. Good engineering practice would be to match feeders to panelboard nameplate rating, even though the load can be served adequately by a feeder rated below the panelboard—and still pass Code. When price prevails over good engineering design, such skimpy feeders are often chosen. From the first page of the NEC: "compliance...will result in an installation essentially free from hazard but not necessarily efficient, convenient, or adequate for good service or future expansion..." —J.F.F.
A. It's not a Code violation to protect a 200A, 42-circuit panel with a 100A fusible switch or breaker. Protection for the panel is usually accomplished with this arrangement. Having a smaller feeder than panel bus is a common situation because manufacturers have standardized bus sizes having large gaps in amperage ratings. Standard sizes are usually 100A, 225A, and 400A, for most branch-circuit panels. As engineers, we generally design our feeders, based on actual load. We might have to greatly oversize feeders if we were required to match the bus and feeder sizes. This could have a major economic impact on our projects. One exception might be a large office or industrial plant. Engineers at these facilities usually don't want to have to worry about changing feeder sizes as the load expands.
A project I did recently is a good example of the large-panel, small-feeder situation. The project had a large room full of individual personal computers, with a separate panel for the room. The owner wanted each computer on an individual (dedicated) circuit. As a result, we needed about 30 computer circuits plus a few general light and power circuits. The total ampere draw was about 65A. Putting in a 200A feeder would have added an unnecessary cost to the project. —J.C.H.
A. It's not a Code violation to install a protective switch or CB for a panelboard or load center (rated for lower ampacity than the load center), provided the overcurrent device is properly sized to protect the wire serving the board. In fact, there may be cases where you must use a board with higher ampacity, because of varying manufacturer's requirements, availability of standard bus sizes, or getting 42 spaces (when smaller ampacities are available only with a smaller number of circuits). This arrangement isn't only legal—it's quite common. It is similar to oversizing feeders, acceptable even if not always economically prudent.
The value of the overcurrent protection should be based on the load served; the number of circuits based on the quantity needed; and the ampacity of the bus bars based on what is commonly available—but still meeting the minimum ampacity requirements. The rating (ampacity) of the overcurrent devices really has nothing to do with the ampacity of the bus bars, so long as their rating is equal to or greater than the overcurrent device. —M.H.L.

I like the format that I've settled on because it provides a quick view of recent price action both in terms of broad market movement (through the graphs), and relative class behaviour (through the table).
It is important to stress the words "recent" and "relative," because for many of the measures in the table, insufficient data points are provided for statistically confident results. However, by comparing the measures across securities and how they have change through time, you may come to find them quite helpful.
Regarding the headers, in most cases I have substituted more reader friendly names over true technical titles, as presented below. For time frames, 1-Week = Five Trading Days (Friday over Friday, unless it's a holiday shortened week) and 4-Weeks = Twenty Trading Days. Where no mention is made, the default is Twenty Days.
Performance Measure Descriptions
- Price Change - The easy one, Friday's closing price divided by the respective prior period close.
- Ten-Month Moving Average - Research shows that semi-active portfolio management using secular trends is helpful in reducing draw-downs and volatility while prospectively enhancing returns and assisting in the identification of the strongest performing indices. These columns compare current price to the simple ten-month moving average, and then rank that difference across the tracked ETFs.
- Travel Range - This is the "Standard-Score" or "Z-Score", which measures how far the last price is from the average over the period, as measured in terms of units of volatility (number of standard deviations). For traders, this is another way of seeing how close price is to standard Bollinger Bands (typically set at 2.0 SDs). Just remember that equity prices often exhibit "fat tails", and rarely move according to standard statistical distributions.
- Price Index (RSI) - This is the same "Relative Strength Index", or RSI, indicator shown in the charts for the SPY and QQQQ. (I didn't want to confuse this unfortunately named measure with the others to its right.) This price oscillator moves between Zero and One-Hundred. The higher the measure, especially over time, the more overbought that security may be considered. Likewise, when the measure is particularly low over time, the more oversold.
In Rewind tables, securities will be formatted green (near oversold) when the RSIs are under 10 and 25 for the 2- and 5-day calculations, respectively. They will likewise be market red (near overbought) when they exceed 90 and 75, respectively.
- Relative to S&P 500 (RS) - This column compares the percentage price change of the SPY to the other ETF proxies over the respective periods. Traders often call this "True Relative Strength" or "Price Relative" to avoid confusion with RSI.
- Correlation to S&P 500 - Correlation measures how closely the subject ETF moves either positively or inversely with the SPY on a scale of -100% to +100%. When the measure reaches 80%+, we can say that the two ETFs have a strong linear statistical relationship.
- Relative Volatility - This statistic, better known as the Beta Coefficient, measures the volatility of daily returns versus those of the S&P 500. It is calculated as the slope of the two return series plotted against each other. To the extent it remains stable over time, it can be thought of as a leverage ratio against the S&P.
- Historic Volatility (HV) - In this case the volatility measure scaled from 0% to 100% is what it says! The higher the number, the more volatile the ETF has been, both reflecting risk as well as often indicating a turning point in trend.
- Trend Stability - Moving further into the more esoteric measures, we have the "Hurst Exponent" estimation or inverse "Fractal Dimension." At a high level, this statistic measures the level of "smoothness" or "persistence" of the recent directional trend (>50) versus a tendency to mean-revert (<50).
- Risk Reward - The relatively new "Omega" statistic goes beyond end-of-period risk/reward measures, such as the traditional "Sharpe" and related ratios, and effectively (albeit perhaps less intuitively )weights the distribution of returns over the subject period, giving preference to positive skew. If the result seem non-intuitive or wacky, consider (dis)confirming the measure by doing some mental math on the ratio of either "Trend Stability" or "Price Change" over "Historic Volatility."
- VIX % Stretch - I occasionally refer to this statistic in my blogs, comparing the last VIX options volatility index to its fifteen-day moving average. Discussion of the usefulness of this typically mean-reverting indicator can be found throughout the Web. It is found in the lower right hand corner of the Rewind table.

(Props: CP reader Ryan.)
Over at Barstool Sports a reader sent them an email in a misguided effort to show off how hard they're partying at the bar where he spins country music as "DJ Big Boband" — seriously. One of the pictures accompanying that email appears to show a shirtless Chuck Liddell bro-ing down with some enthusiastic patrons. It's no secret that Liddell loves to party, and he's even been known to take his shirt off when the spirit comes over him, but it seems like when we saw a version of this same picture in the past it always involved a multitude of skanks. Is this what happens in the twilight of your career? Suddenly the skanks turn into one skank, then the one skank turns into a bunch of dudes, then the bunch of dudes turn into a couple of dudes who don't even really want to be in the picture but are trying to be polite? Guess you can't blame a guy for wanting to hold on to the glory days for as long as possible. Retirement is far too gay.

After 42 days of hearing evidence and argument about whether Canada's polygamy law is constitutional, it's now up to Chief Justice Robert Bauman of the B.C. Supreme Court to make his decision.
In doing so, he must balance guaranteed individual rights to religious freedom, freedom of expression, liberty and association against the risk of harm to women and children.
On Friday, the chief justice told a courtroom full of lawyers representing Canada and British Columbia and nearly a dozen interested parties that it will take a while.
Even then, the case is unlikely to be over.
Whatever the chief justice decides, it will almost certainly be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Despite the unprecedented nature of the case – it's the first reference case to be held in a trial format – it has played out as expected.
The governments of British Columbia and Canada, along with anti-polygamy activists, women's -and children's -rights advocates and the Christian Legal Fellowship, focused on presenting evidence of polygamy's harms.
They argue that the practice puts women and children at sufficient risk of harm to justify limiting religious freedom as well as freedoms of association and expression.
In legalese, this is the Section 1 argument, which allows the federal government to use the "notwithstanding clause" to limit freedoms and rights set out in the Charter.
The amicus curiae (who was appointed by the court to argue for striking down the law) and his allies, including the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, polyamorists and civil libertarians, argued that the law is overly broad, criminalizing consenting adults whose conjugal relationships are benign and even beneficial for all involved.
The B.C. Civil Liberties Association summarized the position succinctly this week:
"By intruding into adults' decisions about the form of conjugal relationship that best meets their personal needs and aspirations, the law overextends the reach of the criminal law into individuals' private lives, intruding into their most private relationships."
While acknowledging that some of the evidence was shocking, the challengers argued that criminal laws such as those governing sexual exploitation, abuse or trafficking are more appropriate than using the polygamy law.
Among the disturbing evidence was testimony from Carolyn Jessop, a former fundamentalist Mormon.
She talked about the water torture of babies.
To teach them obedience, babies are slapped until they cry and then held under water until they quit crying.
The process is repeated until the child is so exhausted that she or he doesn't cry at all.
The B.C. attorney-general's lawyers also filed a list of 31 under-aged girls with birthdates and marriage dates, along with the names of the parents and relatives who trafficked them between Canada and the United States to marry FLDS elders.
Yet, even some of the FLDS witnesses who testified anonymously in support of polygamy being legalized, painted a lessthan-comforting image of what happens in the community of Bountiful, B.C.
One mother said she's opposed to under-age marriages.
But under cross-examination, she talked about the terrible choice forced upon her: give permission for her 15-year-old daughter to marry a young man she cared for or face the prospect of the girl being assigned to an older man that she might not even know. In his closing argument this week, FLDS lawyer Robert Wickett urged the chief justice to separate the actions of abusers from the majority of FLDS members who are hard-working, law-abiding citizens.
On Friday, B.C.'s lead lawyer Craig Jones suggested that in balancing the rights of individuals against the risk of harm, the chief justice must not forget the rights of vulnerable people who might never make it to a courtroom -an Ontario Muslim woman, for example, whose husband tells her to leave if she doesn't like him having a second wife, or the two 12-year-old Bountiful girls who married FLDS prophet Warren Jeffs.
"If you consider the risk to vulnerable women and children, how much balancing need there be?" Jones asked.
The chief justice's choices are simple, he said.
"If you accept the proof of harms, the arguments against Section 293 [the Criminal Code's polygamy section] have to fail …. If you don't, then strike down the law."
It's not that simple. If he finds the law valid, the chief justice must define the necessary elements of the offence.
Does it, for example, only apply if minors or exploitation or imbalance of power are involved?
And if he finds the law to be unconstitutional, the chief justice is well aware that Canada will be the only developed country where polygamy is legal.

Actress Jessica Chastain's Broadway debut in a revival of The Heiress has divided critics following the play's opening night on Thursday.
The Help star leads the cast of the stage production as Catherine Sloper, a shy young woman yearning for her wealthy, intimidating father's acceptance, but many theater critics felt she struggled to make the transformation from a meek girl to a raging woman.
The Hollywood Reporter's David Rooney brands the actress "underpowered" and laments her "inconsistency of characterisation", while the New York Post's Elisabeth Vincantelli was disappointed that Chastain failed to bring more fury to the play's most famous line, when Sloper declares, "Yes, I can be cruel. I have been taught by masters!"
Vincantelli writes, "The words should hit us like a hammer. Here, they barely graze."
Chastain's performance – in the role made famous by Olivia de Havilland in William Wyler's 1949 movie adaptation – wasn't a winning one for The New York Times writer Ben Brantley or Newsday's Linda Winer either.
Comparing the revival to Cherry Jones' Tony Award-winning stint in the same role in a 1995 production, Brantley states, "I never felt the urgency of filial and romantic love festering into vengeful hatred, which should inform any production of The Heiress."
But it wasn't all bad for Chastain – Bloomberg News critic Jeremy Gerard applauds her take on Sloper as "close to perfect", and Entertainment Weekly's reviewer gives The Heiress an A grade, writing, "In her Broadway debut, Chastain conveys social discomfort and awkwardness without veering into caricature."
Director Moises Kaufman also took his fair share of criticism – Winer blasts him for his "emotionally simplistic production", while Rooney blames Chastain's mediocre turn on "questionable directorial choices".
The actress' co-stars David Strathairn and Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens enjoyed better reviews, but it was the "sublimely funny" Judith Ivey who garnered the highest praise from the media, putting on a "great" and "delightful" performance as the amused Aunt Lavinia.
The Heiress runs at New York's Walter Kerr Theater until February.

Cemetery has problem with Pokemon Go
CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Graveside services were being interrupted at St. Joseph's Cemetery because of a popular game.
The signs at New Saint Joseph's told players to stay out. They were stolen. The west side cemetery was full of "pokestops." But the cemetery didn't want to play anymore.
At New St. Joseph's Cemetery there was at least a funeral a day. A final resting place for a loved one should be sort of sacred. When it comes to Pokemon Go... not so much.
"They'll drive right through funeral, they won't stop, no respect whatsoever. Drive through a funeral get to where they have to go," said Superintendent of New St. Joseph's Cemetery, Joe Windt.
Where they have to go were sites in the cemetery where players can collect treasures such as potions and pokeballs. Joe follows them and said players were easy to spot. They drive around the cemetery looking at their cellphones, but never get out and visit a grave. One player ran into a tree.
The golden Virgin Mary was one of the most popular pokestops, according to Joe, who said at times there have been a dozen cars there. One player said the cemetery sites change daily.
Late Thursday, February 16, new signs went up. St. Joseph's hopes Pokemon players get the message. The reality game was disturbing the peace.
The cemetery has asked Nintendo to remove it from the game. The response was that it would review the request.

September 6, 2013 — Born in India, and currently based there, Aarti Shyamsunder, PhD, a Research Manager at Catalyst, has always considered male champions key to her professional success.
I've been fortunate to have encountered a number of men throughout my professional life who not only recognized my talents, but helped me to develop and expand them.
I met S.R., a wealthy, successful family friend, when I was only 16 and still living in India. I remember being impressed that he ate at fancy Italian restaurants and had a chauffeur, yet was somehow still one of the most accessible adults I'd ever met. I went on to do my first internship in an ad agency, inspired by S.R.'s passion for the field. I also worked on a short-term assignment for him, surprising him—and myself!—by producing 92 pages of material. As a reward, he allowed me to shadow him in a marketing workshop—and the workshop bug bit me. Today, I think back fondly on the lessons he taught me just by sharing his own work and perspectives.
When I was 24, I was an international student in small-town Ohio with no connections or work experience. Finding a good job or even an internship seemed like a distant dream. I'd resigned myself to another year of working in the library or teaching the same course I'd taught for the last three semesters, when I suddenly landed a job interview for an assistantship with a well-known researcher. I had a feeling that P.L., a professor of mine, had something to do with it, but I didn't know what I could have done to impress him. It turned out that P.L. had spotted my potential and believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. He became my champion, and his faith and willingness to nominate me for a rare opportunity–a "hot job" of sorts—made a world of difference. Thanks to him, I found a boss I loved working for, a research topic that excited me, and assignments that challenged me—which ultimately made me the applied researcher I am today.
Fast forward a few years, and I was back in India, working as an internal consultant for a large company. Among the people I worked with was G.R., an internal client and senior leader who struck me as one of the smartest people I'd ever met. I was impressed with his track record of entrepreneurship in a conservative environment, and he took an interest in the work I was doing. Rather than a traditional, top-down mentoring relationship, ours was a friendship between equals. I'm indebted to him for challenging me to find solutions, and always being there with advice in the form of a bad pun or a movie reference when I needed an impartial view. He never failed to make me question my assumptions and my long-term goals.
Whether it was S.R. opening new worlds to me, P.L. advocating for me behind the scenes, or G.R. finding new ways to test me, these "men"tors have left a lasting impact. They didn't choose me as part of a formal mentoring program, or because they had a special goal of aiding women. Luckily for me, they simply noticed my potential and helped me to reach it.

. This course explores the challenges and opportunities faced by America's suburban communities and urban centers as they work to become more sustainable and livable. Land use plans, private development, and public infrastructure shape our communities and determine where and how development occurs. The form of our cities and towns dictates our ability to meet the nation's housing demand and grow our employment while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving the environment, and enhancing quality of life. Planners play a key role in understanding trends, crafting policy solutions, and generating support for action through stakeholder engagement. While most land use decision making is local, the majority of the challenges and opportunities we face cross political boundaries. New regional policies and partnerships, coupled with consensus-building across diverse constituencies, will be necessary to realize a new way to build our communities for the twenty-first century. This course delves into the planning techniques, zoning tools, and other land use regulations that are the principal mechanisms employed to achieve safe, livable, and sustainable communities. This course is part of the concentration in land use and planning, a subset of four classes under the specialization in sustainable land management. This subset is for students interested in the interface of environmental issues with land use, planning, and development. The other three courses in the subset are F&ES 775b, 820b, and 835a.

What to CookSoup
Dinner Tonight: Roasted Carrot Soup + Pork Chop
Inspiration for tonight's dinner? Starting the week on a high note with a dinner hearty enough to keep you going strong all week. How about a real supper, one that would please even the most 1950s June Cleaver-esque homemaker? Smoky paprika brings flavor and a little heat to a nice big pork chop, and a toasty, roasted carrot soup rounds out the meal with its tummy-warming, savory sweetness. Positively simple and ready in a flash, as always.
The Menu
Click through on the recipe photos or titles to see (and save and print) the full recipes, but we've also written you a handy grocery list and game plan below.
Paprika Pork Chop by lkshanken
Serves 4
6 to 8 large carrots
6 cups vegetable (or some other) stock
1 piece ginger, 1 inch long
1 sprig thyme, plus more for garnish
4 bone-in center cut pork chops, each about 1 inch think
1 red onion
We know you're all quite the savvy home cooks and surely have a yellow onion, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, sweet or hot paprika, dried oregano, white wine, and extra virgin olive oil. Right? If not, you'll need all of that, too, but we promise it'll be worth the (small) investment. Those spices really come in handy (and the wine doesn't hurt, either).
1. Begin with the carrots. Peel, slice, pop in the oven to roast. Set the stock on the stove to simmer.
2. Spice the pork chop, and set it aside to rest.
3. Brown some onion in a stock pot and add the carrots and stock. Let simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the carrots are soft.
4. Saute more onions! When they're soft and translucent, splash in some wine, then shove them to the side and cook the pork in the same pan. Set it aside to rest for about 5 minutes after it's cooked.
5. Puree soup. Plate pork. Present proudly! Dinner is served.

These books are said to have been obtained in the reign of Tarquinius Priscus, or according to other accounts in that of Tarquinius Superbus, when a Sibyl (
), or prophetic woman, presented herself before the king, and offered nine books for sale. Upon the king refusing to purchase them she went and burnt three, and then returned and demand the same price for the remaining six as she had done for the nine. The king again refused to purchase them, whereupon she burnt three more and demanded the same sum for the remaining three, as she had done at first for the nine: the king's curiosity now became excited, so that he purchased the books, and then the Sibyl vanished (

; Gell. I .19 ; Plin. H.N. XIII .27 ; respecting the different Sibyls mentioned by ancient writers see nike air force 1 07 premium white spirits aNweCrjtS
). These books were probably written in Greek, as the later ones undoubtedly were, and if so consequently came from a Greek source, though it is doubtful from what quarter: Niebuhr ( Hist. ofRome , vol. I p506) supposes them to have come from Ionia, but they were more probably derived from Cumae in Campania (Göttling, Gesch. der Röm. Staatsv. p212). They were kept in a stone chest under ground in air jordan 10 ovo black real vs fake louis
, under the custody of certain officers, at first only two in number, but afterwards increased successively to ten and fifteen, of whom an account is given under air jordan 1 pinnacle black metallic background
. The public were not allowed to inspect the books, and they were only consulted by the officers, who had the charge of them, at the special command of the senate ( adlibros ire , p1044 Cic. deDiv. I .43 ; nike air force 1 retro qs red robin
). They were consulted in the case of prodigies and calamities, but it is difficult to ascertain whether they contained predictions, or merely directions as to what was to be done for conciliating or appeasing the gods, in consequence of the mystery which enveloped them from the time that one of their keepers was put to death for divulging their secrets (Dionys. l.c. ; Valer.Max. I .1§13 ). Niebuhr remarks from the instances in Livy, that the original books were not consulted, as the Greek oracles were, for the purpose of getting light concerning future events; but to learn what worship was required by the gods, when they had manifested their wrath by national calamities or prodigies. Accordingly we find that the instruction they give is in the same spirit; prescribing what honour was to be paid to the deities already recognized, or what new ones were to be imported from abroad. They were probably written on palm-leaves (Serv. adVirg. Aen. III .444 , VI .74 ), and it is not unlikely that the leaves of the Cumaean Sibyl described by Virgil were designed as an allusion to the form of the Sibylline books. Their nature being such, Niebuhr supposes that they were referred to in the same way as Eastern nations refer to the Koran and to Hafiz: they did not search for a passage and apply it, but probably only shuffled the palm leaves and then drew one.

Artificial emotional intelligence or Emotion AI is also known as emotion recognition or emotion detection technology. In market research, this is commonly referred to as facial coding.
Humans use a lot of non-verbal cues, such as facial expressions, gesture, body language and tone of voice, to communicate their emotions. Our vision is to develop Emotion AI that can detect emotion just the way humans do, from multiple channels. Our long term goal is to develop "MultimodalEmotion AI", that combines analysis of both face and speech as complementary signals to provide richerinsightinto the humanexpression of emotion. For several years now, Affectiva has been offering industry leading technology for the analysis of facial expressions of emotions. Most recently, Affectiva has added speech capabilities now available to select beta testers (
nike air max plus grey suede sneakers TM0kP
Our Emotion AI unobtrusively measures unfiltered and unbiased facial expressions of emotion, using any optical sensor or just a standard webcam. Our technology first identifies a human face in real time or in an image or video. Computer vision algorithms identify key landmarks on the face – for example, the corners of your eyebrows, the tip of your nose, the corners of your mouth. Deep learning algorithms then analyze pixels in those regions to classify facial expressions. Combinations of these facial expressions are then mapped to emotions.
In our products, we measure 7 emotion metrics: anger, contempt, disgust, fear, joy, sadness and surprise. In addition, weprovide 20 facial expression metrics. Inour
mens nike air jordan 1 retro
we also provide emojis, gender, age, ethnicity and a number of other metrics. Learn more about our metrics .
Our speech capability analyzes not what is said, but how it is said, observing changes in speech paralinguistics, tone, loudness, tempo, and voice quality to distinguish speech events, emotions, and gender.The underlying low latency approach is key to enabling the development of real-time emotion-aware apps and devices.
Our first speech based product is a cloud-based API that analyzes a pre-recorded audio segment, such as an MP3 file. The output fileprovides the analysis on speech events occurringin the audio segment every few hundred milliseconds and not just at the end of the entire utterance. An Emotion SDK that analyzes speech in real-time will be available in the near future.

The Spanish custom bike scene continues to warm our hearts as Radical Ducati (Happy 10th year anniversary guys!) has just created another v-twin masterpiece. Taking a Ducati Superbike 1098 frame and motor, RAD has worked its touches into this desmodromic dreamboat with its usual flare. It's easy to spot the Spanish team's design ideas and inspirations that we've seen on some of its other bikes, but the exhaust on this Ducati Mikaracer certainly stands out as something unique and special.
Part GP racer, part street tracker, the asymetrical mounting might have our OCD in a tizzy, but the result is also very striking and sounds oh so good (check the video after the jump). The tail section on the Mikaracer also pops-out, if for no other reason than the fact it looks like it was removed from a giant hornet's thorax (you almost want to drag the Spanish equivalent of the DMV into the street for ruining things with that license plate and holder though), which is becoming a hallmark feature for RAD's bikes. Photos, video, and technical/build specs after the jump.

Strider (Genesis) review
"Much of the games hype was due to the fact that it was the first 8 meg cartridge ever. Certainly it was not just a case of Sega and Capcom pounding their chests with no real reasoning behind the extra space; upon comparison with other platform games of its time, the 8 meg 'monster' that was Strider clearly drew upon the added power do something unprecedented. It didn't compromise. It represented an arcade translation where the programmers didn't have to say ''Ok, what do we take out first?'' "

ATLANTA — Matt Ryan took an awful beating.
Another win for the Atlanta Falcons will make the pain a lot easier to take.
Shaking off a career-high seven sacks, Ryan completed a 59-yard pass to Roddy White with about a minute left, setting up Matt Bryant's 40-yard field goal that kept the Falcons perfect on the season with a wild 30-28 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
After squandering a 24-14 lead in the second half, the Falcons (4-0) needed a crucial fumble by Cam Newton to even have a chance — and they still faced long odds when the Panthers downed a punt at the Atlanta 1 with 1:09 remaining.
Ryan had no timeouts and surely some doubt about how much time his beleaguered offensive line would give him. But he dropped back about as far as he could, threw it about as far as he could, and relied on former James Island High star White to go up and make the catch.
He did, between two defenders.
Bryant's kick won it with 5 seconds remaining.
"We made the plays when we needed to," said Ryan, who passed for 369 yards and three touchdowns. "That's what you need to do week to week in this league."
The Falcons (4-0) are off to their best start since 2004, when they reached the NFC championship game.
This was their stiffest challenge yet.
"That was exciting. Whew!" said coach Mike Smith, finally able to exhale. "Every time it looked bleak, every time it looked like we didn't have a chance, we were able to overcome it."
Newton threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score. But he let the ball slip away when it looked as though he had clinched the victory for the Panthers (1-3).
"You have to protect the football," Newton said. "That was a key focus going into this game, and I fumbled. There's a lot of guys that are trusting the ball carrier, and I was the ball carrier that particular play to get the job done. And I dropped the ball."
On third-and-2 at the Atlanta 46, Newton took the snap and bulled his way over the left side, his body surging across the spot needed for the first down. On the sideline, several of the Panthers broke into a celebration.
But John Abraham knocked it loose, the ball squirting backward. Fullback Mike Tolbert covered it for Carolina at the 45 — 1 yard shy of a first down. After attempting unsuccessfully to draw the Falcons offside, the Panthers punted it away.
Ryan and White took advantage of another chance.
White was sandwiched between cornerback Josh Norman and safety Haruki Nakamura, but managed to leap over both of them to bring down the pass at the Carolina 40. A pass interference call and two short completions made things easier for Bryant, who had already connected from 41 and 33 yards to improve to 8 for 8 on the season.
Make it 9 for 9.
The kick was straight down the middle.
With Julio Jones hindered by an injured right hand, White came up with a huge game for the Falcons. He had eight catches for 169 yards, including a pair of touchdowns. But his biggest catch was the final one.
"Matt told me he was going to throw it up there. Just make a play," White said. "Not for one second did we think we were going to lose the game."
Ryan credited his offensive line on the final drive, even though they struggled most of the day to keep him upright against Charles Johnson and the rest of the Panthers defense.
Johnson spent so much time in the backfield he should've worn an Atlanta jersey, finishing with 3½ sacks. Ryan was hit nine times after throwing and hurried on eight other attempts.
"The offensive line did a great job," Ryan said, all evidence to the contrary. "If you're going to throw the football that far down the field, you need some time. The guys did a great job of pass protection, giving us time to throw it down there."
Newton's fumble ruined what had been a stellar performance. He threw for 215 yards, including a 17-yard touchdown to Greg Olsen early in the game, then a 36-yard scoring play to Kealoha Pilares that put the Panthers ahead 28-24 with 7:55 remaining.
Newton also ran for 86 yards on nine carries, bulling his way into the end zone from 4 yards late in the third quarter.
The Panthers played much better than they did in their last outing, a 36-7 home loss to the New York Giants, but it wasn't enough to prevent them from sliding a daunting three games behind Atlanta in the NFC South.
"I want to apologize to my teammates and the fans that were watching out there," Newton said. "Everybody was doing their job. I clearly had the first down, but I've just got to hold onto the football."
Ryan also connected on a 60-yard touchdown with Michael Turner, who took a screen pass right about the line of scrimmage and zigzagged down the field for the first scoring reception of his nine-year career.
DeAngelo Williams scored Carolina's other TD on a 13-yard run.
Notes: The Falcons failed to score a TD on their opening possession for the first time this season, going three-and-out. Also, it was the first time the Panthers did not allow a touchdown on their opponent's opening drive. ... Nakamura had an early interception, but it was largely a day to forget for the Carolina free safety. He was beaten on both of White's touchdown receptions, missed a tackle on Turner's scoring play and had the ball snatched away by White on the long pass that set up the winning field goal. ... Atlanta's only other 4-0 start came in 1986.

PGXN::API - Maintain and serve a REST API to search PGXN mirrors
In a cron job:
* * * * 42 pgxn_api_sync --root /var/www/api rsync://master.pgxn.org/pgxn/
In a system start script:
pgxn_api_server --doc-root /var/www/api \
--errors-from email@example.com \
--errors-to firstname.lastname@example.com
PGXN is a CPAN-inspired network for distributing extensions for the PostgreSQL RDBMS. All of the infrastructure tools, however, have been designed to be used to create networks for distributing any kind of release distributions and for providing a lightweight static file JSON REST API.
PGXN::API provides a superset of the static file REST API, embellishing the metadata in some files and providing additional APIs, including full-text search and browsable access to all packages on the mirror. Hit the PGXN API server for the canonical deployment of this module. Better yet, read the comprehensive API documentation or use WWW::PGXN if you just want to use the API.
There are two simple steps to setting up your own API server using this module:
This script syncs to a PGXN mirror via rsync and processes newly-synced data to provide the additional data and APIs. Any PGXN mirror will do. If you need to create your own network of mirrors first, see PGXN::Manager. Consult the pgxn_api_sync documentation for details on its (minimal) options.
A Plack server for the API. In addition to the usual plackup options, it has a few of its own:
The path to use for the API document root. This is the same directory as you manage via pgxn_api_sync in a cron job. Optional. If not specified, it will default to a directory named www in the parent directory above the PGXN directory in which this module is installed. If you're running the API from a Git checkout, that should be fine. Otherwise you should probably specify a document root or you're you'll never be able to find it.
An email address to which error emails should be sent. In the event of an internal server error, the server will send an email to this address with diagnostic information.
An email address from which alert emails should be sent.
And that's it. If you're interested in the internals of PGXN::API or in hacking on it, read on. Otherwise, just enjoy your own API server!
my $app = PGXN::Manager->instance;
Returns the singleton instance of PGXN::Manager. This is the recommended way to get the PGXN::API object.
Class Method
say 'PGXN::API ', PGXN::API->version_string;
Returns a string representation of the PGXN::API version.
my $templates = $pgxn->uri_templates;
Returns a hash reference of the URI templates for the various files stored in the API document root. The keys are the names of the templates, and the values are URI::Template objects. Includes the additional URI templates added by "update_mirror_meta" in PGXN::API::Indexer.
my $doc_root = $pgxn->doc_root;
Returns the document root for the API server. The default is the www directory in the root directory of this distribution.
my $source_dir = $pgxn->source_dir;
Returns the directory on the file system where sources should be unzipped, which is just the src subdirectory of
my $mirror_root = $pgxn->mirror_root;
Returns the directory on the file system where the PGXN mirror lives, which is just the mirror subdirectory of
my $data = $pgxn->read_json_from($filename);
Loads the contents of
$filename, parses them as JSON, and returns the resulting data structure.
my $data = $pgxn->write_json_to($filename, $data);
$data to
$filename as JSON.

Mylan expands Get Schooled anaphylaxis tool box
Mylan's year-old Get Schooled in Anaphylaxis program, which includes the website Anaphylaxis101, got a refresh during the back-to-school rush with an e-book narrated by Modern Family actress Julie Bowen. The set up builds on the relationship established last year: Ana does not have food allergies, but her brother Phyl does, with Ana serving as a role model who makes accommodations and shares awareness and the need to create allergy-safe environments. Bowen, whose son has life threatening allergies, has been with the program since its launch.
The e-book release and the 101 campaign are part of Mylan's anaphylaxis awareness efforts, which have included events like making the upper deck at the Pittsburgh Pirates PNC ballpark a peanut-free zone for on Allergy Awareness night, an event that is now in its second year. The company manufactures epinephrine auto-injectors.
Ideas submitted by first through 12th graders in a contest helped established the e-book's premise. In this case, Ana and Phyl's school is going to have a carnival and allergy-free Ana recommends an allergy-friendly one. The book shows how kids and parents can make swaps, such as streamers instead of balloons to bypass latex worries, and serving shaved ice, instead of ice cream, to avoid milk allergens, bringing the discussion about allergy-friendly environments beyond go-tos like peanuts and shellfish.
Not everyone is on board with changing environments to be allergy friendly, a point the Carnival book makes, but concern about not just avoiding allergens, but keeping them beyond reach is growing. The New York Times's Jan Hoffman wrote about a mother who asks travelers not to eat peanuts around her children, and a study JAMA Pediatrics published in September pegged the cost of childhood food allergies to be around $25 million a year, or around $4,184 per child. This total includes medical, out-of-pocket and lost productivity costs.
Global Communications VP Nina Devlin tells MM&M in an email that more than 125,000 visitors have checked out the Get Schooled site since its September 2012 launch. She says the site's most visited components include Raise Your Hand for Anaphylaxis Awareness competition and the resources library which includes tools like an anaphylaxis lesson plan, information about student rights and letters administrators can send to families outlining school allergen-conscious food policies which include requests like listing ingredients on any baked items to be shared with a class.
Mylan's 2013 promotion plan is much like that of 2012. Devlin says the company is using Twitter, Facebook and a public service announcement to promote the site, in addition to the media interviews Bowen is doing to support the initiative.

The Dream: Reflections from Sports Announcing Camp
Being a broadcaster takes diligence, preparation and a lot of practicing; you can't make it in the business if you don't know the games.
The Waynesburg University broadcasting camp, run by Lanny Frattare, is a wonderfully delightful and easy way to start your career. The camp shows you basics of the business and the basics of how to announce different sports. This experience is an excellent building block.
I know from my experience that I gained a new aspect on how this business works, how much more I can know, and how much preparation is put into each and every single program, whether it is radio play-by-play for the majors or something like a high school football game. No matter what you do, make it look and sound professional, for that portrays a good image of yourself and gives you practice and experience under your belt.
On the topic of being prepared, I began sweating profusely knowing that I had to do baseball play-by-play at the camp, for I knew I didn't know baseball that well, but I knew the basics. I calmed down after I found out that we weren't going live, that we had a partner, and that, no matter what, the Waynesburg University broadcasting team and my newly made friends had my back.
Speaking of newly made friends, I came to the camp and instantly couldn't help thinking, "This is going to be super awkward. I won't get to know many of these people, and I will probably be a loner, or I will be behind in what I know." That wasn't the case. The group I went with was great. We all understood that some of us were new, that some people didn't watch all sports 24/7 and that we would be friends.
Once I got in my room after stepping out of my parents car, I saw that my roommate wasn't there. At first, I got a little excited because I thought I would have no roommate, but my roommate showed. Hs name was Tanner Widomski, and Tanner and I ended up spending a lot of time hanging out and talking. He was in the same case as I was—he was new in the broadcasting world. So some nights Tanner and I would look over pages and practice together. I honestly couldn't ask for a better roommate. He and I were just like brothers.
All of us created a relationship with one another. We all talked sports, we all had our favorites, we all had rivals/ teams we hated, yet we all got along. Sometimes there would be heated discussions, yet we all were friends. My favorite thing about this camp was that I can honestly see these guys and girls going out and being broadcasters and announcers. I bet in as little as 10 years one of these kids will be doing the dream, making it happen.
I'd like to thank Lanny Frattare so much for this experience. Thanks, Lanny, for being a great and wonderful role model. Thank you to all the students, staff and professors who joined Lanny.
That's the Waynesburg experience. It was unbelievable.

DirectX 12 Unveiled at GDC 2014
Posted: 11:46AM
Author: ClayMeow
Earlier today at a GDC 2014 session, Microsoft lifted the veil on the next iteration of DirectX, DirectX 12. While the presentation was sadly not streamed live, PC Perspective live-blogged the event, which is where all the images below come from.
DirectX 12 (DX12), or more specifically, Direct3D 12 (D3D12), "provides a lower level of hardware abstraction than ever before, allowing games to significantly improve multithreaded scaling and CPU utilization." As a result, not only will high-end gaming PCs benefit from DX12, but low-end machines too. In fact, all Microsoft devices will have DX12 support moving forward, including Xbox One and Windows-powered mobile devices.
The good news for PC gamers is that new hardware won't necessarily be required – both NVIDIA and AMD confirmed DX12 support for existing cards, with NVIDIA specifically listing Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell, and beyond. Of course one of the most burning questions was not answered – which version(s) of Windows will support DX12? Microsoft put up a slide that broke down the support as: "100% of new desktop GPUs", "80% of new gamer PCs", and "50% of all PC gamers when we ship". That latter percentage is a bit alarming and could indicate that Windows 7 will not be supported. That being said, at least it seems unlikely that Windows 9 will be a requirement.
If you want to read a lot of the technical mumbo jumbo, be sure to check the MSDN Blog post linked below, but one thing I will mention is that Microsoft is reporting "a 50% improvement in CPU utilization, and better distribution of work among threads," in a D3D12-ported version of 3DMark compared to the current D3D11 version. As many PC gamers and computer enthusiasts know, CPUs are currently severely underutilized, so DX12 could be a major boost to overall PC performance, not just GPU performance.
Another interesting facet of DX12 is the claim that it brings "console-level efficiency on PC" thanks to its lower-level access. To illustrate that, developer Turn 10 ported its "Xbox One Direct3D 11.X core rendering engine to use Direct3D 12 on PC," to show off a silky-smooth, 60FPS-stable PC tech demo of its newest racing game, Forza Motorsport 5. Does this mean that the long-time Xbox-exclusive franchise could make its way to PC as a DX12-exclusive? Let the rumors begin!
DX12 definitely seems like a huge change from the current DirectX 11.2, but it'll still be awhile before we see games utilizing it. DX12 has a targeted release of Holiday 2015 with a preview release planned for later this year.
