Twas three days before Christmas and all through the Nintendo Download fresh new games both big and small tried desperately to outshine the majesty that is the original Game Boy version of Tetris.
The game that got an entire generation doing lines in the back seat of their parents' cars is a tough act to follow. It may have started on the computer, but the Game Boy version of Tetris is the one that exploded, launching Nintendo into a dominant position in the handheld gaming market that it has yet to relinquish.
That doesn't mean there's nothing else worthwhile in this week's Download. WayForward Technologies' Mighty Switch Force for the 3DS looks particularly interesting. The creators of Contra 4 and the A Boy and His Blob remake for the Wii have certainly proven themselves capable of handling a little 2D action. And the music makers in the audience should get a kick out of Rytmik Retrobits, though it looks like it could be a bit too complicated for the dabbler.
When all is said and done, however, Christmas is a time for the classics, and it doesn't get much more classic than Tetris.

OCC Bulletin 2009-2| January 5, 2009
Home Mortgage Disclosure Act: Rate Spread Reporting Threshold under Regulation C
Chief Executive Officers and Compliance Officers of All National Banks, Department and Division Heads, and All Examining Personnel
On October 20, 2008, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) approved final amendments to Regulation C (Home Mortgage Disclosure Act) to revise the rules for reporting price information on higher priced mortgage loans. The rules are being conformed to the definition of "higher-priced mortgage loan" adopted by the Board under Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) in July of 2008. Under the final rule, a lender will report the spread between the loan's annual percentage rate (APR) and a survey-based estimate of APRs currently offered on prime mortgage loans of a comparable type if the spread is equal to or greater than 1.5 percentage points for a first-lien loan or 3.5 percentage points for a subordinate-lien loan.
The survey that the Board will rely on for the foreseeable future is the Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS) conducted by Freddie Mac. The Board will conduct its own survey if it becomes appropriate or necessary to do so. Information on the average prime offer rate will be published on the FFIEC's Website (www.ffiec.gov/hmda).
According to the Board, the final rule will provide pricing data on higher priced mortgage loans reported under Regulation C that are more consistent with prevailing mortgage market pricing over time, which will make data reporting more predictable. The rule will also facilitate regulatory compliance by conforming the test for rate spread reporting under Regulation C to the definition of higher priced mortgage loans under Regulation Z.
The final rule becomes effective October 1, 2009. Compliance is mandatory for loan applications taken on or after that date and for loans that close on and after January 1, 2010 (regardless of their application dates).
For questions on this amendment or any other HMDA-related issue, contact the HMDA help line at (202) 452-2016 or send an email message to firstname.lastname@example.com. For further assistance, contact your supervisory office or the Compliance Policy Department at (202) 649-5470.

The ABCs of Laser-Cutting Automation
A few years ago, it was rare to find a fabrication shop that had implemented automated material handling on its laser-cutting machines. Now, as companies invest to meet new capacity demands in a strengthening economy, a high percentage of new cutting machines are being delivered with some type of automation. For some, automation helps overcome a limited skilled-worker pool. For others, automation allows fabricators to meet customer demands to lower part costs, while increasing capacity to reduce delivery times. And, in some cases material-handling automation helps fabricators better deal with offshore pressures on their businesses.
Capacity Climbs 50 Percent or More
Automation systems allow capacity to flex through use of lights-out operation without the burden of adding manpower. Automation also makes one-piece flow more practical, while producing short-run efficiencies that will reduce nonvalue-added fabricating time. The bottom line: Fabricators that automate their cutting machines typically increase capacity by 50 percent or more compared to standalone machines, with significant reduction in lead times.
The key questions to consider when investing in cutting-machine automation:
1) Do you really need automation?
2) What type of automation is needed?
3) What should the initial machine configuration look like?
4) What challenges lie ahead when implementing an automation system?
1) Do You Really Need Automation?
The key benefits to automating the laser-cutting process are speed, consistency and capacity. An operator loading a machine manually will take about 35 percent longer than an automated loader. The automatic loader does not get tired and does not take breaks—it als is available, and the amount of time between each cycle—load/unload time—is consistent and predictable. Further, automation allows a fabricator to increase capacity without adding labor.
All three key benefits—speed, consistency and capacity—fit snuggly within a company's lean-manufacturing scheme. They reduce rework and the need to build inventory, make workflow more consistent and help make production planning more predictable. The key deliverable: quality throughput.
To identify the specific benefits of automation and develop a cost-justification model, a fabricator must project near- and long-term production requirements. This can be done by selecting typical nests for common materials and thicknesses, and conducting time studies for cutting those nests. Keep in mind that there may be a significant difference in the processing time for older machines, as opposed to machines equipped with the latest technology.
Today's leading-edge laser-cutting machines can automatically establish cutting parameters, and change nozzles and torches with lenses to accommodate various material types and thicknesses. Thus, these machines will run using optimal parameters, resulting in dramatically increased efficiency and throughput as compared to older machines.
Most laser-machine manufacturers can help fabricators forecast cut times. They also can help calculate and optimize cycle times and maintenance intervals, to better evaluate the net impact of automation on throughput. The comparative value of throughput calculated with standalone machines—including the possibility of adding an additional shift—and utilizing automation will go a long toward calculating the return on investment (ROI) for implementing an automated sheet-handling system.
2) What Type of Automation?
Selecting an automated material-handling setup is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Most automation systems use a modular or building-block approach that enables future growth. Key determining factors: desired throughput and the amount of variation in workpiece material type and thickness.
Fabricators can select from three types of automation solutions: pallet changer (or shuttle table), load/unload system, or a flexible manufacturing system (FMS). A pallet changer installed on a standalone laser enables the operator to stage one sheet of material while the laser cuts another sheet. While this basic type of automation is limited since it requires an operator to load sheets on the shuttle table (the operator paces the system), it does improve efficiency—typically by 20 percent compared to a standalone hybrid machine. In a mixed-volume and medium part-variety environment, beam-on time will average 4.2 hr. per manned shift.
By adding a load/unload automation system to a laser-cutting machine, the system can run unattended for prolonged periods—the machine paces the system. The automation includes load and unload tables, which limits the fabricator to a single material type and thickness per setup. Therefore, this type of automation performs best in a batch-production environment with relatively few material changes. Load/unload systems can typically run 12 hr./day with one manned shift and one unmanned shift, providing 2.8-times the productivity of a standalone machine with a shuttle table. Such a system also can be used for single- or multiple-machine cells.
An FMS offers the greatest opportunity to run unattended, because it enables a fabricator to use various material types and thicknesses while running unmanned. The design of an FMS includes multiple material-loading shelves for storing and loading material into one or more laser-cutting machines. An FMS shines when shops perform frequent material changes, as in a job-shop environment or within an OEM producing in relatively small batches. Machines equipped with an FMS typically experience 92-percent beam-on time with 14.7 hr. of cutting per day when running one manned and one unmanned shift.
3) What Should the Initial Configuration Look Like?
To configure an automation solution, a fabricator must consider several factors, beginning with machine type. A hybrid cutting machine has a single table that typically proves effective for one or two machine cells processing mild-steel sheet ¼ in. or thicker. Sheet-loading time will represent a smaller portion of total processing time, since cut time on this thicker material will be relatively high.
Pallet changers prove most effective when cutting thinner material, or typically where more than two machines are needed in the automation system. Here, a hybrid machine may have to sit idle while waiting for new material to be loaded. The second pallet on a shuttle-machine design operates as a buffer so that new material is loaded and ready for cutting.
Since most automation setups are modular in design, a fabricator can modify the system as needs change, including the number of machines within the cell. Therefore, a fabricator can rest easy specifying a system based on near-term needs, knowing it can add to its automation solution as needed.
Consider these five variables when designing an automation setup:
1) Type of material storage required;
2) Number of machines in the cell;
3) Requirements of the material transfer system;
4) Control methodology for the automation system; and
5) Type of material-unload system.
Material storage—Fabricators can select from a variety of loading tables and material-storage shelves. A load/ unload system employs a single, fixed load table, or a scissor-lift table to accommodate more material. Specify a design with enough capacity to run unattended for the unmanned timeframe desired (overnight, for example).
An FMS offers the flexibility to store and load different material into the automated system. Shelves are stacked into a tower configuration, with each shelf storing a single material type and thickness. The shelves have individual weight limitations and total capacities for each tower. Depending on the manufacturer, tower configurations can hold as many as 20 shelves, and often towers can be grouped for even greater capacity.
Number of machines—Let the machine manufacturer specify the number of machines required for the expected workload. As previously discussed, the increase in throughput once the automation is installed can be dramatic. No need to over-build the automation system and tie up operating capital unnecessarily. And, remember that most systems are modular, so if capacity requirements grow so can the capabilities of the automation system.
Material transfer—The two main considerations when contemplating material transfer are the maximum weight of the sheets being moved, and whether or not part sorting is required after cutting. All systems have limitations in terms of workpiece size and thickness, and many have a maximum capacity of 1-in. mild steel. Depending on system design, a fabricator may be able to load single sheets into a cutting machine without using the transfer device (traverser). This flexibility allows the fabricator to store and automatically load only commonly used sheet sizes, and load over-capacity sheets or remnants separately. Traversers use a variety of methods to transfer sheets of material, including suction cups and rakes (forks).
Part sorting is a useful and relatively new option available with automation systems. There are a variety of designs available that can automatically separate the cut parts from the scrap skeleton, place the parts on an offload table and then move the skeleton onto a separate table or dump it into a scrap bin.
Automated system control—A load/unload system only requires a basic cell controller that directs the loading of a new sheet as the previous sheet completes the cutting cycle. This relatively simple control sequentially loads programs to cut on the machine.
More advanced management-line controllers (MLCs) can be used for load/unload systems, and are required for an FMS. The MLC handles all production-management functions, enabling programs to be continually fed to the laser-cutting machines. It will manage raw-materials inventory and can keep track of partial sheet storage. Programs are prioritized through the scheduling function. The system loads and unloads as many as four machines by sending the appropriate material and program to the next available machine, according to specified parameters. An MLC can provide production data that identifies what was cut, when it was cut and how long it took to cut.
Material unload—Similar to material-storage and loading options, fabricators can select from numerous configurations of fixed and scissor-lift tables for handling completed sheets. It is not uncommon to combine multiple offload tables so like-parts can be stacked. The MLC can direct the traverser to move specific parts to a particular table. Tables can ride on a rail system so they can be pulled from the cell for unloading without endangering operators. (Although we're not addressing fences, interlocks and other safety apparatus here, the machine manufacturer will specify the safety equipment necessary to comply with government safety regulations.)
Storage towers also can be added to an FMS, to enable separation of finished work. Configurations and capacities are similar to the variety of load-tower options.
As you design an automation system, plan for growth and consider workflow layout, including material loading, unloading and other operations.
4) What Challenges Lie Ahead?
While implementing a laser-automation system will have a dramatic impact on throughput, when incorporating existing laser-cutting machines into the system do not underestimate the lost production capacity during system build and integration. Also, carefully consider downstream operations relative to workflow and capacity.
Skilled labor also is an important component of the plan. While automated-system operation will require fewer operators than will standalone machines, a few skilled people are critical to oversee effective operation and to maximize throughput. Training must be a core element to implementation. Production expectations should gradually ramp up as the system comes online.
With a laser automation system fully operational, expect a dramatic impact on downstream operations—bending and welding, for example. Where laser cutting might have caused a bottleneck, automation will eliminate it. But, if capacity for downstream operations does not increase, the bottleneck will simply shift. Therefore, you must develop a plan for handing the increased volume of laser-cut workpieces awaiting secondary operations. Initially, you may need to pace the lasers based on a pull approach from bending, welding and other downstream operations.A final consideration is the attitude of everyone affected by the automation system. Employees may fear for their job security, or mourn the loss of overtime hours. Gaining a certain amount of buy-in from the shop floor will enhance the likelihood of a successful project. MF

No cause yet for fish kill on Ontario side of Lake Erie
Prairie State Outdoors
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Canadian officials say tens of thousands of dead fish are littering a section of Lake Erie's northern shoreline.
Ontario Ministry of the Environment spokeswoman Kate Jordan said Wednesday that the fish washed ashore last weekend. She says they likely died of natural causes, although officials are still awaiting lab analysis results.
The fish were scattered along a 25-mile stretch between the cities of Windsor and London.
Jordan says investigators found no evidence of a spill or pollution, and water chemistry measurements turned up nothing unusual.
She says a likely explanation for the fish deaths was a so-called "inversion." That happens when temperature changes send water with low oxygen levels from the bottom to the surface, causing fish to suffocate.
Among the dead fish were perch, bighead buffalo, sheephead and catfish.

Sarnia police force's refusal to act on rail blockade troubles judge
Not since the late David Marshall, another judge of the Ontario Superior Court, waded into the violent 2006 Six Nations occupation in Caledonia, Ont., has anyone on the bench spoken so plainly and bravely about the politicization of policing in Canada.
Enter another Superior Court judge, and as it happens, another David — this one Judge David Brown.
Judge Brown on Monday issued what amounts to a lament — I mean it in the crying-out-loud-in-grief sense too — for the rule of law in Ontario in giving the latest of a series of decisions on Idle No More rail blockades in two opposite corners of the province.
Though based in Toronto, Judge Brown ended up hearing the first application brought by CN Rail last month in relation to an aboriginal blockade in Sarnia, Ont.
This blockade began in the small southwestern Ontario city on Dec. 21, but because it wasn't until late in the day that it became clear that the protesters weren't going to move, Judge Brown ended up hearing an emergency after-hours motion from lawyers for CN Rail in Toronto.
The blockade was on what's called a "spur line," an industrial single track that runs from Sarnia to Courtright through the area's "Chemical Valley." The line services a handful of chemical and industrial plants, one of which, Entropex, is a plastic recovery facility that processes blue box recycling for more than 70 municipalities in Canada and the United States.
The spur line crosses the Chippewas of Sarnia First Nation, and it was there the blockade was established.
This first hearing was preoccupied with the hearing of evidence about the "just-in-time" nature of CN customers affected by the blockade and about the protest: Importantly, out of the protesters' own mouths, was the fact that the blockade didn't involve a claim to aboriginal title or land-claim issue, as was the purported case in Caledonia.
This protest was rather, as Judge Brown put it in his original decision, "more in the nature of an expression of opposition by one group of Canadian citizens to legislation which they oppose."
He granted the injunction.
As he put it six days later, in a continuation of that injunction, "As a judge, I make an order expecting it will be obeyed or enforced. If it will not be enforced, why should I make the order?"
To the astonishment of the judge, however, nothing of the sort happened with his first order.
CN served the right people — the chief of the Aamjiwnaang Chippewas of Sarnia, the band office and of course the Sarnia police.
Evidence at the continuation hearing showed that process servers and CN officials went to the blockade — there were never more than 50 protesters there, sometimes just a handful of people — and tried desperately "to engage" the Sarnia police.
One Sarnia staff-sergeant told a CN inspector that his force would not assist in serving the order. An inspector told him "their regular members have been directed not to attend at the blockade," an order that I have confirmed independently. (Sarnia rank-and-file officers were told "there would be absolutely no enforcement, observation of, or engagement at any level.")
In fact, one staff-sergeant, Jeff Hodgson, who stopped by the blockade did so only to join a circle of protesters who were drumming; the YouTube footage of that little exercise is still online.
The CN inspector was also told that Sarnia police "advised they would not accompany them to the blockade, but did provide a police radio."
CN lawyers were back in court before Judge Brown on Dec. 27, on which occasion the force didn't even bother to send anyone to appear.
"I must confess," the judge said that day, "that I am shocked by such disrespect shown to this court by the Sarnia police."
The force lawyer, Glen S. Donald, did send a note to CN lawyers; it is a document stunning in its arrogance, urging CN to "edify" the judge.
Again, Judge Brown reviewed the evidence — that this didn't even pretend to be a land-claim issue.
"Simply put," he said, "they have chosen the spur line crossing as their Hyde Park and intend to express their views from that location regardless of the harm caused to those who use and rely on the spur line."
Thus, he said, their aboriginal identity didn't "immunize" them from the law, as sometimes, as Ontario's appeal court has found, it may entitle native protesters to a more "nuanced" interpretation.
He was deeply troubled, in particular by the Sarnia force's refusal to enforce his order. He clearly understood that police have operational discretion; his order allowed for that. Such disputes require precisely such a division of labour between courts and police, as he noted.
But, he said, "It was not open to the Sarnia police to interpret the injunction order as permitting the blockade to remain indefinitely…." Yet six days after his first order, there was the blockade, still in place, and there were the cops, sitting on their hands, when they weren't drumming.
"With all due respect to the Sarnia police," the judge said, "local police agencies cannot ignore judicial orders under the guise of contemplating how best to use their tactical discretion. Such an approach would have the practical effect of neutering court orders."
A court order, Judge Brown said, "is not one amongst several chips to be played in an ongoing contest between the police and transgressors of legal rights.
"On the contrary, a court order is intended to initiate the process of bringing unlawful conduct to an end in a short period of time…"
Worrying that he perhaps ought to decline to grant a continuance of his order — because it would surely undermine the legitimacy of the courts to keep on making toothless orders — he nonetheless couldn't bring himself to do that.
That was Dec. 27; the barricade stayed up until Jan. 2, when Sarnia police, under pressure from another judicial order, finally enforced the injunction.
Then, this past Saturday night, native protesters blocked the CN main line between Toronto and Montreal, again as part of Idle No More.
Again, on an emergency basis, the judge heard from CN lawyers, who were again seeking an emergency injunction to remove the blockade.
Judge Brown granted it, and when on Sunday morning, he read in his morning paper that the blockade had ended at midnight, he asked for evidence how it had come about.
He learned that the local sheriff had a copy of the order by 10:30 that night, and asked the local OPP for help.
There were all of 15 protesters present.
OPP Staff-Sergeant Scott Semple advised the sheriff it was "too dangerous" to serve the order, but said the OPP would accompany her the next morning. So, while the protesters left, the judge noted it was "not, as it turns out, because the police had assisted in enforcing the order."
"That kind of passivity by the police leads me to doubt that a future exists in this province for the use of court injunctions in cases of public demonstrations," he said.
Furthermore, he asked, given that police have powers of arrest already, "why does the operator of a critical railway have to run off to court to secure an injunction when a small group of protesters park themselves on the rail line bringing operations to a grinding halt. I do not get it."
The rule of law — that arrangement by which citizens cede the use of force to public government agencies — is in some fundamental respects quite simple. It means, as the judge put it, that "no person in Canada stands above or outside of the law. Although the principle of the rule of law is simple, at the same time it is fragile.
"Without Canadians sharing a public expectation of obeying the law, the rule of law will shatter."
As he said on Dec. 27, "In a real, where-the-rubber-meets-the-road sense, our courts are powerless."
And there you have it: Judges can't predict with any confidence if police forces will enforce their orders, and one of them even wonders aloud if he should issue another toothless direction; police don't even do the court the courtesy of appearing when summonsed and native protesters need not bother with the ruse of feigning a land claim.
To borrow from Yeats, when things fall apart and the centre cannot hold, how far behind can the blood-dimmed tide be?

Whole 30ers…can you see the summit? Maybe for you it is today. For me it is tomorrow. Regardless I wanted to pop in and share a few thoughts since we are halfway there:
*If you have made it this far — CONGRATULATIONS! This Whole 30 has been both easier and tougher on me than the last time around. Easier in that all of you are really helping keep me accountable. This weekend I had the desire to really go off the rails and just eat what was easy since Garrett was out of town. When I have no one to cook for I sometimes just want to eat mindless things which, while Paleo, are not necessarily Whole 30 compliant.
*It has also been harder though because I have really FELT all of the ups and downs. I've basically been a snapshot of The Whole 30 Timeline complete with random cravings for things I'd never eat (Mac and Cheese) and anxiety dreams that I bought the wrong almond butter with EEEEEEK. Evaporated Cane Juice OMG DRAMA. ha! If you are still wondering if your reactions are "normal" I highly recommend that read.
*My favorite part of that timeline is this quote from days 8-15, which is super appropriate. I think it is really worth marinating on:
All joking aside, though, this phase gets really intense and for some people. This is the part of the program where our minds try to drive us back to the comfort of the foods we used to know. Our food relationships are deeply rooted and strongly reinforced throughout the course of our lives and breaking through them is really big deal.
*Understanding how you relate to food is one of the major points of the Whole 30. People often forget this or hop into the challenge thinking "Oh I want to lose weight and feel great!" And of course those things happen too. But to get to the "feeling great" part, you have to put in A LOT of work that sometimes involves working through your relationship with food. I really want to commend you if things have gotten difficult and you haven't yet thrown in the towel. Dealing with those emotions and issues and rationalizations can be really difficult and it can be super easy to find a legitimate sounding reason to put it off until later or just quit altogether and say "It wasn't right for me" So high five if you have felt those emotions and are pushing through!
*But what if you haven't pushed through? What if you have strayed, or found it difficult or decided it's not right for you right now? Well to that I want to say, better luck next time and don't spend too long beating yourself up about it. It's important to remember that not being able to complete a Whole 30 does not indicate anything else about you except for that right now, you are not able to complete a Whole 30. That's it. Let the judgment go. It's not a failure. YOU are not a failure. Learn and move on. It's the best thing you can do.
*At this point I also feel like it's worth reiterating that the Whole 30 isn't about losing weight. Yep, seriously. It's not. At all. So, difficult as that is, try not to get all wrapped up in that idea. Dallas and Melissa have written two really great articles about this exact thing and if you have sneaked on to the scale (DON'T DO IT!) and are feeling discouraged, please read them both! Then I would recommend making a list of some of your health or fitness victories over the last few weeks. I had two last night that I'm going to keep in my back pocket for when I feel challenged during the next two weeks.
*The first was our warm up in last night's workout — Run a mile. UGH. I am always so god damn slow so I just headed out and figured that I would run as fast as possible but not beat myself up for being last. I did my best, clocked my time and expected to see around 11 or 12 minutes, which is my average (Remember my hilly half marathon? I averaged 14 minute miles!!!) So when I got back to the gym I was shocked to see that I ran that mile in 9:34. Under 10 minutes! Victory. I have no doubt that part of the reason for the improvement has had to do with being diligent about properly fueling my body for the last two weeks.
*The last was during the metcon portion of the actual workout:
I got through 9 of those wall walks and my arms basically felt like we noodles. (Here, watch {one of} my CrossFit boyfriend(s) Chris Spealler do them at about 30 seconds in if you have no idea what I'm talking about.) Anyway, wet noodles. I was ready to modify the second time around by my lovely coach basically said "Sorry, no dice. FINISH IT UP, CHUCK!" Well, she didn't call me chuck, but you get what I'm saying. And in the end, I *did* finish. And it was hard as hell and my arms STILL feel like wet noodles 16 hours later. But last night also felt like the night that I got *my* fitness back. It's been such a struggle over the past few months with the extra lbs and the crappy food in my body! Last night I really remembered what working hard and performing well (for me!) felt like. And it felt great! And that is way more important than the number on the scale right now.

Понимание ваших задач...
High-value, high-risk projects are delivered late
Online tendering: tender schedules often overrun due to a lack of formal process, resulting in key stakeholders missing deadlines or review periods.
No early warning indicators: lack of visibility of the project's likely commercial outcome, because there is no method to assess the impact of multiple contract changes.
Contract auditability: critical information may be scattered among various systems, in different formats, making reviewing projects post-completion is difficult. Staff turnover makes it challenging to get a single source of 'truth' when issues arise.
Expectation and interpretation: lack of clarity between the parties can create conflicting expectation and interpretation of the contractual obligations leading to change and potential claims.
High-value, high-risk projects are over budget
Change control: lack of formal process for managing change means that stakeholders may have to deal with invoices with no prior knowledge of the who, when and why context.
Claims mitigation and defence: a stakeholder may face a claim by breaching contract terms. They could overlook an important date-based or event-driven contractual obligation. Then, if record-keeping has been lacking, they have little defence against the claim.
Obligations: missed contract obligations (from either party) can cause risk exposure or even financial penalties.
Payment verification: verification can be a challenge with multiple subcontractors AFPs (applications for payment), risking erroneous payments and penalties for late approvals.

Shakespeare understood the importance of leaving behind children. That they are our path to immortality. We live on through them. As long as there are descendants, we too live in some form. I'm a big Shakespeare fan. Can I wax poetic on all aspects of his works? No. I'm reading his entire works this year via the Shakespeare in a Year group. I'm a little far behind, but even if I don't finish with the group I will finish. It's different reading Shakespeare as an adult than as a high school kid. You tend to understand more of it. These are two of my favorite sonnets. It made me realize how passionately he felt about having children.
Sonnet IX
Is it for fear to wet a widow's eye
That thou consum'st thyself in single life?
Ah! if thou issueless shalt hap to die,
The world will wail thee, like a makeless wife:
The world will be thy widow, and still weep
That thou no form of thee hast left behind,
When every private widow well may keep,
By childrens eyes, her husband's shape in mind.
Look, what an unthrift in the world doth spend
Shifts but his place, for still the world enjoys it:
But beauty's waste hath in the world an end,
And kept unus'd, the user so destroys it.
No love toward others in that bosom sits,
That on himself such murderous shame commits.
Die without leaving a child and the world weeps for the loss, while should a wife lose her husband (or vice versa), they continue to see their spouse in their children's faces. You continue to live on through your children.
Sonnet II
When forty winters shall besiege thy brow,
And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field,
Thy youth's proud livery, so gaz'd on now,
Will be a tatter'd weed, of small worth held:
Then being ask'd where all thy beauty lies,
Where all the treasure of thy lusty days;
To say, within thine own deep sunken eyes,
Were an all-eating shame and thriftless praise.
How much more praise deserv'd thy beauty's use,
If thou couldst answer - 'This fair child of mine
Shall sum my count, and make my old excuse-'
Proving his beauty by succession thine!
This were to be new-made when thou art old,
And see thy blood warm when thou feel'st it cold.
As we reach the end of our lives we see that there is still so much life left. Life that we issued. Why wouldn't a parent as they grow old not look at their children and grandchildren and smile!

Donovan McNabb latest blog is up over at Yardbarker.com and the enignatic one is happy for once...
It's been a terrific offseason for me. I have spent most of my time in Arizona with my wife and three kids. Having a chance to be a dad - going to my daughter's soccer games and dance recitals, and seeing the babies grow and develop; there is nothing better than that. I am truly blessed and fortunate that the American Diabetes Association will honor me and two other men in June as Father of the Year. But I'm not the only McNabb that is blessed...Saturday night my parents will be honored by the Allied Athlete Group in Atlanta for their work with the Professional Football Players Mothers and National Football Players Fathers Associations. And on Saturday my wife will hold her annual Philadelphia Community Baby Shower for expectant mothers.
Make no mistake, I've been training like crazy to make sure that I can improve as a quarterback and do everything necessary to try and win a championship for this city. I said it before, I was inspired by the way the Phillies won the World Series and how they were treated by the City and their fans and I want to experience that myself in the worst way.
Now down to some football talk.....
You'll notice that I am ready to move forward. I'm the first to admit that you must learn from your failures, I also believe that you cannot change the past. It's time to focus on the future.
As with every minicamp since I've been in the league, I'm excited about meeting my new teammates, getting to know them and working together on the field. We now have a lot of new, young skill position players and it will be exciting and interesting to see how they become acclimated to what we do here. If they can come in here and take their game to the next level, they will be productive pros and we can achieve great successes together. I want to welcome the new rookies and am excited to get to work with them.
I haven't taken the tim e yet to welcome some of the veteran free agents to the team. I'm looking forward to working with a new set of bookends on the o-line. Stacey Andrews and Jason Peters are young, athletic and physical. They will help in both the passing and running game. The same can be said for fullback Leonard Weaver. As for the additions on defense - Ellis Hobbs, Rashad Baker, and Sean Jones - I can't wait to see how Jim Johnson uses all the talent he has at his disposal.
I want to congratulate all the newcomers and let them know that I am excited to be working with them and taking the first step towards moving forward and get ting something accomplished.

X Games Superstars Heath Frisby and Shaun White Make Winter Sports History [VIDEOS]
X Games history was made not once, but twice this year when Heath Frisby landed the first-ever front flip on a snowmobile, and Shaun White nailed his SuperPipe routine earning himself the first perfect score ever for that particular event.
Both Heath and Shaun are amazing at what they do, but these guys really stole the show this year, completely redefining the word "extreme" and seriously raising the bar for every competition to come. Needless to say, both of these guys went home with well deserved gold medals and the respect of their competitors.

Stamford boys cruise past New Canaan
Recommended Video:
STAMFORD -- The New Canaan and Stamford basketball teams entered Thursday night's clash at Stamford High School in similar situations: Both were on a recent slide and both badly needed a victory to increase hopes of finding a way into the state tournament.
On paper, it looked as if the teams matched up fairly evenly.
Turns out they were not that even.
Stamford stormed out of the blocks, gained a significant early advantage and never looked back on its way to a 64-31 victory over visiting New Canaan.
For Stamford coach Danny Melzer, the win might have been his team's top performance of the season.
"Our intensity and execution on the defensive end was amazing; it's the best we've played all year," Melzer said. "We pushed the ball in transition better than we've done all year. That was our most complete effort of the year by far."
While he was quick to point out that his team's recent struggles are not due to a lack of desire or hard play, New Canaan first-year coach Mike Evans indicated that this one was a bit of a "head-scratcher."
"I'm kind of scratching my head after this one. We all are. We didn't not play hard; we just didn't play right," Evans said. "They pushed hard. They're all red-faced, they all went hard, there are no attitudes. Right now we just can't figure out what the problem is."
The Knights managed to build a quick 6-0 lead which was jumpstarted by a 3-pointer from Lucas Loria, who would go on to drain three from beyond the arc, all in the first quarter.
New Canaan's only two points of the opening stanza occurred on a pair of free throws from Erik Jager, and the quarter ended on a dunk by Stamford's Kenny Wright for the 14-2 lead heading into the second.
The second quarter was a draw, so New Canaan remained in a 12-point hole at the half, 27-15.
New Canaan's Zach Allen notched a layup to start the second half, but that was followed by a 15-0 Stamford run, which sealed the game. Gianni Carwin, Wright and Kweshon Askew all notched four points during the lengthy advantage.
The game's outcome was never in doubt in the fourth quarter, which allowed Melzer to empty his bench, and Angel Gonzalez sank a pair of 3-pointers for the Knights.
"That's the first game we've won this handily all year. It feels good because this has been a rough year. It's been a learning year," Melzer said. "That's been our goal the second half of the season. We want to make the state tournament. We're going to step on the floor and try to beat all four."
Both teams exited the gymnasium with identical 5-11 records, meaning that both can still qualify for states with a finish of 3-1 or better over their final four games.
"I'm not giving up on an opportunity at states," Evans said. "There are four games left, we need three wins and if we play like we did in the middle of the season we can get that done."

Leaves of Gold: Manuscript Illumination from Philadelphia Collections
Philadelphia's diverse public libraries, universities, scholarly institutions, and museums hold numerous—but often little-known—treasures, including many hand-produced manuscripts decorated with miniature paintings. Presented in this catalogue are eighty illuminated manuscripts and individual leaves and cuttings from manuscripts in Philadelphia's public collections. Important manuscript centers of Medieval and Renaissance Europe are represented, as is almost every known type of early illuminated book: Bibles, Psalters, Books of Hours, a wide variety of liturgical manuscripts, and many types of literary and secular texts. The delicate paintings are rich historical sources, which not only comment on the texts they decorate, but also reveal the art, customs, and styles of the times. With their jewel-like colors, intimate scale, and often whimsical marginalia, illuminated manuscripts provide an especially engaging view into the past. The works included here range in subject matter from the religious to the romantic, and include such treasures as a superb Book of Hours once owned by the Earl of Pembroke and an elegantly illustrated copy of Saint Augustine's City of God.Edited by James R. Tanis and Jenny A. Thompson

Red Bulls one of three teams to host annual nationally-televised search for America's best undiscovered youth soccer player; Registration now open
NEW YORK (March 20, 2016) – Today marked the launch of the landmark 10th edition of Sueño MLS – Presented by Allstate Insurance Company, the premier nationally-televised search for the best undiscovered soccer talent in North America. Online registration is now open, once again giving thousands of aspiring young soccer players across the country the chance to turn their dreams into a reality. The New York Red Bulls will be one of three MLS clubs participating in this year's event, hosting tryouts in the New York metro area on April 23 and 24.
Hopefuls are now able to register at www.SuenoMLS.com for an opportunity to participate in one of the three open tryouts across the United States. The competition will be chronicled in a unique "reality show within a show" format by Univision Deportes' popular weekly sports entertainment program, República Deportiva (Sports Republic), airing every Sunday at 3 p.m. and midnight ET.
Celebrating its historic 10th year, Sueño MLS – Presented by Allstate Insurance Company will be staged by three Major League Soccer teams, including first-time host Portland Timbers, as well as returning hosts LA Galaxy and the New York Red Bulls. Up to 400 tryout spots will be made available in each city on a first come, first serve basis. In past years, spots have filled up in only a few hours following the start of registration. A waiting list will be available once all spots have been filled.
In each city, field players will be battling for one of five invitations to a week-long trial with their respective youth development host club and a trip to the exciting five-day National Final in Carson, Calif. that will be hosted by Sueño MLS Ambassador and legendary Mexican forward, Luis "El Matador" Hernández. The finals will include training sessions, scrimmages, guest celebrity scouts and an opportunity to meet some of the League's biggest stars. The Sueño MLS 2016 – Presented by Allstate Insurance Company winner will be crowned on Sunday, May 22, live in-studio on República Deportiva (see calendar below for more information).
In addition, the Allstate "Good Hands®" top goalkeeper award, El Portero Allstate, will be presented for the sixth consecutive year. One goalkeeper at each of the three local tryouts will be selected as a local goalkeeper finalist and will compete in the National Finals for the opportunity to be named El Portero Allstate. El Portero Allstate finalists will be mentored by Mexican goalkeeping legend Adolfo Ríos.
In addition to the title, both the Sueño MLS 2016 – Presented by Allstate Insurance Company and El Portero Allstate winners will be invited to join a youth-level team at the MLS club represented at the National Final.
Since its inception in 2007, Sueño MLS has given more than 15,000 talented young athletes an opportunity to showcase their skills and impress scouts. The program has helped discover several standouts, including original Sueño MLS winner and 2015 MLS Cup Champion Jorge Villafaña (formerly Jorge Flores) currently with Club Santos Laguna, C.F. Monterrey forward Gabriel Funes Mori, and his brother, Everton FC defender Ramiro Funes Mori. Many others have gone on to play for MLS academy teams, universities, youth national teams and professionally around the world.

Shoot to Kill
It wouldn't really be apt to call this the Ferrari of cameras. The Hasselblad of Ferraris? Not so much. More like a mating of two of the most iconic and high-end brands out there, and the result is the H4D Ferrari Limited Edition medium-format camera, better than the best of the best. Specs are still sketchy, as is pricing (safe to say it'll be stratospheric), but just look at it. That is one sexy beast. And that's all you really need to know.
Cephalopod Suave
In these dark days of "workers' rights" and child labor laws, it's more important than ever to terrify your underlings into quick and unwavering submission. And there's no better way to do that than by sitting on a throne that would give Darth Vader nightmares. If you're an ambitious, up-and-coming evil overlord, or just a boss who doesn't like to be approached, this is the chair for you.
Inquire for pricing
Supercar Pedigree
This certainly isn't the first carbon-fiber table. It is, however, the best. To this point it's been, "carbon fiber is so in right now, let's just slap it on whatever crap we can," with little care given to quality. But this table is different. Its creator is Phil Frank, who designed the Saleen S7, so you could say he knows what he's doing. Jump on this one if you want a piece of design history, because like so many things awesome, only 100 will be produced.
See Ya Later, Alligator
You've bought arguably the most superfluous gadget this side of a hybrid SUV, so why not stick to that trend and spend an inordinate amount of money on the required cover? Currently holding the title of most expensive iPad cover on the market is the authentic alligator iPad case from boutique designer and supplier to the stars, David August. No, you don't need the case, but come on, you didn't really need that iPad either.
Model Citizen
If you think about it, this 1:8 scale Ferrari 458 Italia model is a steal. The real deal will set you back $245,000 give or take, with an eighth of that price coming in around $31k. So at only $5,600, this is a deal and a half! Granted you can't, you know, drive it. But you can take smug satisfaction in knowing that you have only one of 100 made, and that each model took 3,500 hours to complete.
Stuttgart Style
This chain-mail-esque leather jacket could have gone all kinds of wrong if done by a manufacturer of less repute. But because the boys from Stuttgart gave it a whirl, the result is nothing short of phenomenal. The unique carbon-fiber look is reached by weaving the finest Napa leather, by hand, in Germany, so Porsche's claim of "high-quality fabrics and outstanding craftsmanship" is quite the understatement.

In the month of May, we are dedicating 8 minutes of each work day to tap out of technology and tap into a tea experience. This "8 Minute Digital Detox With Tea" campaign will challenge you daily to unplug yourself from all your devices- computers, phones, and other social gadgets to focus on the ritual of preparing tea.
Why Tea?
Since tea has been used universally for over 5000 years as a natural remedy for the mind and body, tea is the perfect vessel to reconnect with yourself. Tea is typically known to calm the mind, ignite focus and awareness, and sooth the body. Disconnect from technology to reconnect with yourself. Find a quiet space where you are not tempted to respond to an email or text. You can even set aside a box to hold your cell phone, iPad, and all other electronic devices. Join us in tapping out of technology to tap into tea!
Why 8 Minutes?
We usually get a 10 minute break during a work day, so we invite you to use 8 of those minutes to hone in on the art of tea, so to speak. Most teas take 3 to 5 minutes to steep. Tisanes or caffeine free blends can steep longer at 5 to 7 minutes, so it is manageable to prepare tea within an 8 minute cap. Also, the number 8 is a lucky number in China, which is where we source many of our teas.
Day One- My Tea Ritual
I chose to steep an oolong tea called Bao Zhong Pouchong to kick off this digitox cleanse. First, I prepared my Smart Tea Maker by adding two heaping teaspoons of tea. Then, I poured hot water over the leaves. I quickly gathered my teapot and perfect tea timer, and headed outside. I set my pot down and watched the leaves infuse into the water for the remaining 2 minutes. I could see the leaves slowly dancing in the water, which is known as the agony of the leaves. Oolongs are especially eye catching to witness steep because like Bao Zhong Pouchong, the leaves are more tightly rolled and twisted. When the leaves are submerged in hot water, they dance as they unfurl during steeping. After multiple steeps, the leaves fully unravel, so you can see the full size of the leaves expanded in the pot.
While I took a few sips, I purposely engaged my senses to focus on my surroundings. It was a beautiful and sunny California day with a slight, cool breeze. I could smell the garden of white roses blooming beside me. I could even hear birds nearby chirping in the midst of cars driving pass. The warm cup of tea was comforting and perpetuated a serene ambiance.
This was my first time tasting Bao Zhong Pouchong. I could tell by the green color of the dry leaves that this oolong was less oxidized than others. It tasted similar to a green tea. It had sweet yet buttery notes that created a well-balanced flavor on my palate. The steeped leaves created a champagne hue and smelled mildly floral.
When I returned to my desk, I felt less stressed and rejuvenated to finish the rest of my work day. My tea experience provided a little escape from constant emails and text messages this digital age allows at the touch of a button. It was delightful to step away from all my technology and intentionally indulge in a moment to enjoy tea.
Now it's your turn. Join us in our "8 Minute Digital Detox With Tea". Learn more tips and facts, and share your digitox thoughts and pictures on our Facebook page. Click on tab: #8MINDIGITOX. We would love to hear about your digital detox experiences. Remember, take your pictures and post on social media networks after the 8 minutes. Drink tea, and be well!

I am seeking information on the Tellier BM 400 hp flying boat. I am aware that details of this type are contained in Lucien Morareau's book "Les Aeronefs de l'Aviation Maritime". Does anyone have, or have access to, a copy of that book and can send me scans of the relevant pages ?
Thank you, in advance.

Chris Matthews Thrilled: Obama Second Inaugural Akin to Gettysburg Address
Hat tip: National Review Today, thanks to MSNBC's Chris Matthews, it took less than five minutes for the comparison to be drawn between President Obama's second inaugural address and, well, all manner of things Lincoln. "It reminds me of another second inaugural, Lincoln's, so much of Lincoln in that speech, from the Gettysburg Address to the second inaugural itself," Matthews said. "He talked about the government that we want, which is infrastructure, education, regulation, all the good things, and then recognizing that government can't solve all the problems."

[NRP2_HUMAN] High affinity receptor for semaphorins 3C, 3F, VEGF-165 and VEGF-145 isoforms of VEGF, and the PLGF-2 isoform of PGF.
CheckConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
Neuropilins (Nrps) are co-receptors for class 3 semaphorins and vascular endothelial growth factors and important for the development of the nervous system and the vasculature. The extracellular portion of Nrp is composed of two domains that are essential for semaphorin binding (a1a2), two domains necessary for VEGF binding (b1b2), and one domain critical for receptor dimerization (c). We report several crystal structures of Nrp1 and Nrp2 fragments alone and in complex with antibodies that selectively block either semaphorin or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) binding. In these structures, Nrps adopt an unexpected domain arrangement in which the a2, b1, and b2 domains form a tightly packed core that is only loosely connected to the a1 domain. The locations of the antibody epitopes together with in vitro experiments indicate that VEGF and semaphorin do not directly compete for Nrp binding. Based upon our structural and functional data, we propose possible models for ligand binding to neuropilins.
Structural studies of neuropilin/antibody complexes provide insights into semaphorin and VEGF binding.,Appleton BA, Wu P, Maloney J, Yin J, Liang WC, Stawicki S, Mortara K, Bowman KK, Elliott JM, Desmarais W, Bazan JF, Bagri A, Tessier-Lavigne M, Koch AW, Wu Y, Watts RJ, Wiesmann C EMBO J. 2007 Nov 28;26(23):4902-12.

So I don't follow baseball at all, but my brother in law, Peter, is a die-hard Oakland A's fan. He the biggest sports fan I know, and he is unwavering in his dedication to the Oakland Athletics. I wanted to do a special cake for his 35th birthday, and because he is an absolute A's fanatic, I knew it would have to be an Oakland A's themed cake. I needed the cake to be compact so I could easily transport it, and this baseball hat cake was a last minute idea that fit all the criteria.
I have a hard time thinking of cakes for guys. Maybe its because guys hobbies and interests usually aren't easily translated into big swirls of pink frosting, or maybe its just because I have made fewer cakes for men. This cake is great because you can just change the colors and logo and you have the perfect cake for any baseball fan, guy or girl.
The hat is baked using a sports ball pan (one half) cake stacked on a 6″ round cake carved into a wedge. I wasn't sure how I would get just the right shade of green for this cake, and it turned out to be a combination of Americolor forest green and leaf green gel pastes. The entire cake is covered in green and yellow fondant, and the stitching was done with a Wilton cutter/embosser tool. Hopefully this season will be a good one for the A's!

The Miami Dolphins are continuing to churn the roster today and it is not necessarily the very bottom of the roster that they're addressing.
The club today announced the signing of tight end Dante Rosario and offensive lineman Ryan Cook. The club waived inside linebacker A.J. Edds and terminated the contract of veteran lineman Joe Berger to make room for the additions.
"None of these are easy," coach Tony Sparano said. "These come down to numbers and needs at the time. We had 10 linebackers on the roster and we weren't going to carry 10 linebackers."
Edds goes because he was last on the list of those 10 LBs. And the reason he was behind everyone else, despite having what outsiders considered to be a good preseason, was the lingering affects of his 2010 injury. No, it wasn't the physical toll of that injury that hampered Edds, but rather the missed time which he ultimately could not overcome.
Is there a chance Edds gets re-signed to the practice squad? Sparano was non-commital. Basically, Austin Spitler, drafted in the seventh round last season, is ahead of Edds, a fourth-round pick, because one missed all of last season and the other played
"We'll see. I like some of the things A.J.'s done. Austin's done a really good job. Obviously, A.J. missed a chunk of time and we didn't have a chance to evaluate him a year ago where Austin had that time so he's a little bit further ahead that way."
The club is expected to add Frank Kearse to the practice squad if he clears waivers today.
The Rosario addition is a good job of solving a big problem with one move. No, Rosario is not the next coming of Tony Gonzalez. But he brings an athleticism and speed the tight end group lacked before today. It would probably be a good bet to think Rosario becomes the team's No. 2 tight end behind Anthony Fasano once he gets up to speed with the offense.
Rosario, 6-4 and 250 pounds, was recently cut by the Denver Broncos after spending the first four years of his career with the Carolina Panthers,
"I didn't know what to expect after being released from Denver I justed the opportunity to play," Rosario said. "I'm grateful that Miami's giving me the opportunity. I haven't been guaranteed anything. It's opportunity to come in here, work hard, show what I can do."
Rosario has 22 career starts to his credit. That should make you feel better than the lack of experience Miami had in Jeron Mastrud and Will Yeatman.
Cook, 6-6 and 328 pounds, is expected to provide the position flexibility the Dolphins have valued in recent years. He has played guard, center as well as tackle for the Minnesota Vikings the past five seasons. Cook also has experience in that he has 40 starts to his credit. He is a former second round pick of the Vikings.
The Dolphins clearly believed Cook an upgrade over Berger, who started 14 games last season. It should be said that Berger was in the final year of his contract with Miami.
Berger was scheduled to make $1.5 million for the team this year. Cutting him costs Miami $108,333 on the cap but the savings is that base salary of $1.5 million.
Finally, Marvin Mitchell was at practice today, Sprano said. Obviously, he was elsewhere during the period of practice open to the media.
