ORLANDO, Fla. - A man and a teen were arrested on murder charges in the deaths of a teen and a woman who were shot during an Orlando home invasion robbery last month.
Joshua Heard, 21, was arrested late Wednesday on two counts of first-degree murder, three counts of armed home invasion robbery and three counts of false imprisonment.
Diego Alvarez, 17, was arrested on the same charges, although investigators said they believe Heard was the shooter.
Jonathan Cook, 17, and Khoy Williams, 24, were shot and killed February 19 at the Middlebrook Farms Apartments in what Orlando police described as an apparent random attack.
A third person was also shot, but he survived and provided police with a description of the assailants.
"Initially, Heard was listed as a person if interest in this case, and we're just glad this suspected killer is off the streets," said Orlando police Sgt. Jim Young, who added that Heard was arrested without incident near Ivey Lane.
Heard was taken to the Orange County Jail and Alvarez was taken into juvenile custody.

Neural migration is an aspect of neural development.
Neuronal migration is the method by which neurons travel from their origin or birth place to their final position in the brain. There are several ways they can do this, e.g. by radial migration or tangential migration. (see time lapse sequences of radial migration (also known as glial guidance) and somal translocation.)[1]
Radial migration Neuronal precursor cells proliferate in the ventricular zone of the developing neocortex. The first postmitotic cells to migrate form the preplate which are destined to become Cajal-Retzius cells and subplate neurons. These cells do so by somal translocation. Neurons migrating with this mode of locomotion are bipolar and attach the leading edge of the process to the pia. The soma is then transported to the pial surface by nucleokinesis, a process by which a microtubule "cage" around the nucleus elongates and contracts in association with the centrosome to guide the nucleus to its final destination.[2] Radial glia, whose fibers serve as a scaffolding for migrating cells, can itself divide[3] or translocate to the cortical plate and differentiate either into astrocytes or neurons.[4] Somal translocation can occur at any time during development.[1]
Subsequent waves of neurons split the preplate by migrating along radial glial fibres to form the cortical plate. Each wave of migrating cells travel past their predecessors forming layers in an inside-out manner, meaning that the youngest neurons are the closest to the surface.[5][6] It is estimated that glial guided migration represents 90% of migrating neurons in human and about 75% in rodents.[7]
Tangential migration Most interneurons migrate tangentially through multiple modes of migration to reach their appropriate location in the cortex. An example of tangential migration is the movement of interneurons from the ganglionic eminence to the cerebral cortex. One example of ongoing tangential migration in a mature organism, observed in some animals, is the rostral migratory stream connecting subventricular zone and olfactory bulb.
Others modes of migration There is also a method of neuronal migration called multipolar migration.[8][9] This is seen in multipolar cells, which are abundantly present in the cortical intermediate zone. They do not resemble the cells migrating by locomotion or somal translocation. Instead these multipolar cells express neuronal markers and extend multiple thin processes in various directions independently of the radial glial fibers.[8]

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/4/2013 (1586 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Once a year, Boston hospitals work together to prepare for the unthinkable. When it happened during the Boston Marathon, they were ready.
With emergency teams already on hand because of the race, the city's emergency rooms "went into auto-mode," said Mark Pearlmutter, chief of emergency medicine at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Boston. Within minutes after the bombs went off, the wounded were parcelled into five major trauma centres that took those with the worst injuries. Several other community centres handled the rest.
A key reason the triage went smoothly is the city's program of training drills that date to the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks, doctors said.
"We had protocols, policies and workflows in place to do the best job possible," Pearlmutter said.
The drills, now standard in most major U.S. cities, cover everything from plane crashes to natural disasters and dirty bombs, medical officials said. Each of the hospitals sends a team of 10 to 20 doctors and staff to the yearly drills, Pearlmutter said in a telephone interview. The teams are then asked to respond to each scenario and the responses are discussed in depth by the entire group, he said.
This helps create the area-wide plans that kick in when an actual emergency occurs.
A mass trauma such as the Boston explosions, which killed three, including an eight-year-old boy, and injured more than 175, isn't much different from a bomb blast scene in a war zone, doctors said.
The first step is to quickly determine which patients are most in danger of dying, no easy task in a bombing when hundreds of victims are covered in blood, some with life-threatening internal injuries and others with little more than superficial cuts.
The city's hospitals and trauma centres regularly practise for just this sort of event, running drills on a mass-casualty disaster, said Boston Medical Center trauma surgeon Tracey Dechert.
"After 9/11, people took it up a notch," Dechert said.
Stephanie Kayden, an attending physician in the department of emergency medicine at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston, said the biggest problem with blast injuries "is they can look a lot less severe than they actually are. The liver is just a hunk of fleshy material," she said. "Although you may not see any damage on the outside, the liver itself can be broken into pieces and bleeding profusely."
John McManus, a retired colonel and U.S. Army trauma physician who served two tours in Iraq and ran the military's Baghdad combat support hospital, said doctors first use tourniquets and anti-bleeding drugs to stop obvious bleeds before looking for harder-to-see effects.
"How do you deal with a person with a bunch of holes in them? You basically scan them head to toe," he said.
And injuries inside the body can develop slowly, the doctors said. A patient scanned with a CT machine may show little internal fluid at first, then over half an hour develop a life-threatening problem as blood pressure drops and cells are deprived of oxygen. Burns can be insidious as well -- the inside of the mouth and throat may take time to show damage, then the tissue swells and cuts off breathing.
Most of the wounded in Boston suffered damage to their lower extremities, George Velmahos, chief of trauma surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital, said.
Medical personnel were treating three primary groups of injuries: internal bleeding, those sustained when falling or thrown to the ground from the bomb's shock wave and embedded debris from the bomb as well as flying glass, he said.
During the race, Paul Biddinger, medical director for emergency preparedness at Massachusetts General, was at a medical tent on Heartbreak Hill, located at about the 20th mile on the marathon course. There he was caring for runners who were struggling with dehydration, heatstroke and other medical issues that typically occur during marathon races.
Biddinger was called when the bombings occurred and arrived at the emergency room about the same time as the first patients appeared.
"We can clearly point to a couple of people who went to the operating room first -- truly, minutes mattered," he said in a telephone interview. "If this hadn't gone smoothly -- from the marathon itself, to the transport, to the care in the hospital -- had not every single step been perfect, they would have died.
''Overall, I would like to think we saved limbs and lives, but there is no question that we have a couple of people that lived because the system worked the way it did,'' he said.
Boston's hospitals "have been preparing intensively for something like this since 9/11,'' Biddinger said. ''We listened to their experiences, the pitfalls and the learnings, and that played an enormous role in how our response unfolded.''
In a disaster setting, hospitals will begin cancelling any unnecessary operations on other patients even before the new patients arrive, and clearing beds to handle the wounded.
The vast majority of life- and limb-threatening injuries in this bombing came from shrapnel and debris, Biddinger said.
While a wound from flying debris and bomb material "can be superficial, it can be very deep," said Demetrios Demetriades, director of trauma services at the Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Healthcare Network, which serves as the training centre for the U.S. Navy's trauma-care physicians.
''The closer you are to the explosion, the higher the possibility of amputation," he said "This is the most common type of injury you see from war."
Doctors also have to worry about a patient's pain. McManus, the U.S. Army trauma physician, said doctors in Iraq learned controlling how patients feel was a key component in whether they developed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder later.
"We want to have people adequately controlled," he said. "We don't want to just give people low doses and say, 'Do you feel OK?' We want them pain-free."
Medical personnel also have a role in collecting evidence for the criminal investigation, Demetriades said. Every piece of debris removed from a patient's body will be saved, as will burned and torn clothes. "Everything removed from the victim needs to be preserved," he said. Criminal investigators can use it to look for traces of explosive, or try to figure out how the bomb was made.
At Boston Medical Center, Dechert, the trauma surgeon, said they had seen 23 patients from the blast -- and amputated limbs from five. "I still think it hasn't hit us really," she said.
Across Boston, the mood at hospitals is similar.
"We're proud we were able to limit the injury and illness, but it was a tragic event," Biddinger said. "Everyone is going through sorrow and loss. It was a great system response, but it's hard to celebrate given the reason for what went on."

100 Years of Onions
Ask a Specialist: Onions and Your Health
By: Kathleen Riggs, USU Extension family and consumer sciences professor, 435-586-8132, firstname.lastname@example.com
The National Onion Association is 100 years old this year. While most people either love onions or completely avoid them, it's fitting this year to highlight the fragrant vegetable, where it came from and the importance it plays as part of a healthy diet.
According to the National Onion Association's website, http://onions-usa.org/all-about-onions, onions may be one of the earliest cultivated crops because they were less perishable than other foods of the time, were transportable, were easy to grow and could be grown in a variety of soils and climates. In addition, the onion was useful for sustaining human life. Onions prevented thirst and could be dried and preserved for later consumption when food might be scarce.
In today's diets, onions not only provide flavor, they also provide important nutrients and health-promoting phytochemicals. High in vitamin C, onions are also a good source of dietary fiber and folic acid. In addition, they contain calcium and iron, are low in sodium and contain no fat.
Onions also contain quercetin, a flavonoid that is a type of antioxidant. Antioxidants are compounds that help delay damage to cells and tissues. Specifically, this means that onions promote heart health and assist in preserving and re-generating naturally occurring Vitamin E in the body. The bottom line is that onions are a healthy food choice.
Consider these tips to select, use and store this nutritional powerhouse.
· Fresh green onions or leeks with tops still attached should be kept refrigerated at the grocery store or farmers market and also when you get them home.
· Dry bulb onions with paper-like skin on the outside should be firm and have little or no scent. Avoid bulbs with cuts, bruises or blemishes.
· Slicing and dicing an onion can become a teary experience, due to the release of sulfuric compounds. To reduce tearing, the National Onion Association suggests chilling the onion about 30 minutes before cutting it, using a sharp knife and cutting from the top first, then leaving the root end uncut for as long as possible since this contains the highest concentration of sulfuric compounds.
· Whole dry bulb onions should be kept in a cool, dry, dark place with plenty of air movement. Do not store onions in plastic. Lack of ventilation will reduce their storage life. Refrigeration is only necessary when trying to extend the shelf life of sweet or mild onion varieties with high water content, but be sure to use a low humidity setting since they must be kept dry.
For information on growing and harvesting onions from the garden, contact your local USU Extension Office.

"Thrilled with the final product. I included a photo on the back and the colors are stunning. I had questions about adding the photo and sales support was immediate and through. I love the details on the front, the quality is excellent, and arrived on time. Color has more green in it than I thought but still thrilled with the invite."
"This design was just perfect for our dinner. It was pretty and elegant, but casual, and it allowed enough space for all the wording we needed, without looking crowded. I was looking for something that highlighted the couple's names, rather than the dinner itself. We used the space on the back of the postcard for listing the entree options for guests to choose from."
"perfect choice for complimenting the style of any wedding-as mother of groom planning rehearsal dinner this provided simple elegance that is very classic. We used both front and back of the invite-front for basic invite information and back for extra details. Paper and printing were top quality as we expected from this company. Front photo of the couple looked amazing! Shipping was right on time as promised. You can't go wrong with this design and style."
"Loved this card - and i loved that it was a post card for our rehearsal dinner. I changed the font colors and boarder to pink with a white card background and it's just perfect! Thank you. Turn around was quick and efficient and the changes I needed made before printing were changed quickly and accurately."
"Great work, just what we wanted. Thanks for offering this beautiful invitation. We were proud to send to friends and family."

For someone who claims to not care for writing elsewhere .. why are you starting ten threads a month, here?
Mensa says: Tomas, what are you talking about? I don't believe for a second that I said I don't care for writing elsewhere, I write to different places including CTV.ca regularly as a commentary writer. I write to Canada's Governor General where they've archived my work, I write to magazine editors familiarizing myself with their work. I do this on a regular basis. I write here because I am at my highest and most imaginable intellect. It sounds like you're complaining about me Tomas, what's your problem? Would you like to see me leave and never return?
Mensa says: It seems to me when people aren't satisfied with what I've written, they start yapping to get a rise out of me, they're just trying to see if I'll respond negatively, so they can have an excuse to ban me.
PS - I'd be easier to get a handle what you are going on about if you'd confine your writing to one thread.
Mensa says: Like what you've done that has accumulated umpteen thousand views, that idea of yours is a pretty good one Tomas. You think I should do that too--confine my writing to one thread?
It leaves one with the gut feeling you are scatter-brained :-/

That's funny...because if I was trying to impress them I would be more mindful and intelligent in response to these threads. Instead I say what's at the top of my head in the moment...without much thought. I have come to realize there are horrible websites on the internet with hate-filled agendas...and although I am not totally in agreement with the QRS philosophy I see that they are basically moral and humane in comparison.
I also have come to realize that it's not an easy job running a website, and the headaches it must be, dealing with so many types of personalities.
I feel remorse as to some of the comments I have made in the past to David. And during the silence (their absence here), I've come to see how tolerant they've been with many members here....myself included.
I have a new-found respect to the thinkers here...that have spent most of their lives in pursuit of the Ultimate Truth, and have studied the immense writings of various philosophers. They have seriously studied and contemplated all they speak about....and as Cousinbasil said : "They run a class-act here." I agree.
I think we should try our best to participate intelligently in these discussions....or at least realize we are guests here and act like responsible adults, instead of childish attension seekers.

It was Super Bowl Sunday morning, day two of my California poker odyssey. I've reported on my earlier visits to the California Grand, Casino Royale, the Limelight, Capitol Casino, and Cache Creek. Sunday I drove from Sacramento up through Colusa and Oroville to Chico and then back south again to Marysville. I played in four more rooms: Colusa Casino, 99 Casino (formerly Angie's Place), Feather Falls Casino, and Casino Marysville.
The Colusa Casino (3770 Highway 45, Colusa, 530.458.8844) is a full service resort casino with a modest poker area on the casino floor typically running just $3/$6 limit hold'em. They rarely get no-limit, but they do have a fantastic mixed game on Wednesday evening. In it they spread Crazy Pineapple, Irish Hold'em, and Superflop. I had never heard of the last two games, and describe them to you here—perhaps for the first time in print!
Irish Hold'em is a variation of hold'em. Instead of getting two cards, you get four. You discard two before the flop. The rest is the same. Superflop is dealt the same as hold'em, but there are only two additional rounds of betting, both at the higher tier. The flop and turn are done together—with four cards being exposed initially. There's a round of betting. And then there is a one-card river, making the board the same as a regular hold'em board. Watch for them soon at a card room near you—or travel to Colusa on Wednesday at 3PM to play them.
We drove north to Chico, to visit the 99 Casino (175 East 20th Street, Chico, 530.892.2282). I loved this place and would make it my regular poker room if I lived in this neck of the woods. They had a $1/$1/$2 no limit game with a $50 minimum or $500 maximum (or to the size of the largest stack of the table) and a great spred limit dealer's choice game ($2-$4 on the early rounds and $2-$8 on the latter rounds of betting). They allowed standard casino games and one of their own called "Option Alley". It was 5-card stud hi-lo with a replacement round at the very end. They had tasty $1 tacos, huge $1.50 hot dogs, and $2 beer. There were a ton of promotions and two or so tournaments each day. What's not to like?
Our next stop was in Oroville, at Feather Falls Casino (3 Alverda Drive, Oroville, 877.652.4646 ext. 329). This is a large casino with a slightly dark poker room that spreads $1/$2 no limit hold'em. The manager was very friendly and accommodating.
The game I was in had two dealers from the nearby Gold Country Casino that was not offering any poker at the moment—because both of the dealers had decided to go play at Feather Falls (which is the stronger of the two rooms I gather). Feather Falls is a full service casino with a hotel. They offered a $79 poker rate for their executive suite. I didn't stay but did play, winning about $100 in 30 minutes from the very casual fun loving and relaxed players in the game. They had a full daily tournament schedule that they were in the midst of revamping—so if you are considering a trip make sure to call first. One big plus is that they feed players for free during their tournaments. They are closed on Sunday.
Last on our trip was Casino Marysville (515 4th Street, Marysville, 530.743.4120). This was a very friendly room and is the headquarters in the area for Omaha8. When I was there they were spreading a $3/$6 limit Omaha8 game. They had a nice promotion -- $60 in chips for a $40 buy-in if you play at least two hours. It was Super Bowl Sunday when I was there—and they were feeding players for free—though they don't normally comp meals. They rarely have no-limit, but sometimes have a limit hold'em game. We left there after the big football game—and headed to Thunder Valley. I'll report on it and a few others in my next column. Next up: Thunder Valley, Lucky Derby, and Jackson Rancheria.

TRIBUTES have been paid to a musician, retired special constable and grandfather-of-nine who died after a 13-year battle with a rare lung-scarring condition.
Ken Bower, 70, of Church Bank in Church, passed away on Friday, January 3, after sharing a 'very happy life' with wife Julie, 71, and their sons, Martin, 50, and Stewart, 48.
Mr Bower rose to the rank of Section Officer with Rossendale Police during his 11 years of service, and played drums for Haslingden and Helmshore Brass Band for 10 years.
Born in Ramsbottom, he started his working life as a garage mechanic before touring the UK with theatre productions as a drummer in the 1960s. He met Julie in Lowestoft, Suffolk, where they were married.
Mrs Bower, a retired shop assistant, said: "Ken was a private and unassuming man. He was very direct. He was a lovely man.
"Touring introduced him to the bright lights of showbusiness.
"The group did private shows for stars including Harry Secombe, and played charity football matches with Des O'Connor, Marty Wilde, and Joe Brown."
The couple moved back to Ramsbottom, and Mr Bower took on shop work, and bus and coach driving, as theatres started to close.
Mrs Bower said: "He loved driving. Another great passion was his police work. In 1988 he became a traffic warden in Rawtenstall, before going into civilian police work in Burnley in 2003.
"He was a drummer in Haslingden and Helmshore Brass Band from 1988 to 1998, when he was diagnosed with sarcoidosis, and joined the Camping and Caravanning Club Band. They met six or seven times a year, and he loved caravanning."
In the last 12 months, Mr Bower struggled with breathing, and was cared for by Mrs Bower.
David Holland, conductor of Haslingden and Helmshore Brass Band, said: "I've known Ken for about 25 years. He was at the band when I joined and we knew each other through our love of music. He was a very reliable man, good to have around."
Mr Bower's funeral will be held at Accrington Crematorium at 1pm on Tuesday. Family flowers only. Donations to SILA, the sarcoidosis charity, c/o Fred Hamers Funeral Services.

Paul Dowding Training Everyone that buys this book is contributing £10 to Alive and Well. This amount pays a crew member's wages for a week. During that week the crew will drill a well in a village where, until your money helped pay for the borehole, people had to give infected water to their children and where waterbourne diseases claimed the lives of babies and children every month. That's all changed with a new well.
You contribution makes a difference on the ground.
Thanks for your help.

The much anticipated "Swan" collection by Clements Ribeiro, designed in collaboration with Evans, will launch online on March 30th (and in stores on April 2nd, if you're lucky enough to be in the UK), and we've got a sneak peek at what you can expect from the range!
The husband-wife duo are one of the most exciting and heralded teams in the UK fashion scene, so it's no surprise that I'm swooning over everything in the collection — from heart-printed, tapered pants, to a sexy eyelet little-black-dress. If I'm lucky enough to get my hands on some pieces, they're definitely going to be in key rotation on my "date nights" this spring and summer!
I spent a few moments catching up with Suzanne and Inacio, and got the scoop on what to expect!
How did you get involved with Evans?
Evans approached us about this time last year. Until then, we were not thinking about plus-sizes, but were instantly fascinated. Clearly, there was a great opportunity there to do some great work. We also liked them all straight away; they are really committed to their customer and we really clicked with their team!

Growing up, I was not a kid that liked fruit-flavored sweets. Fruit pies were totally lost on me, as were crumbles, cobblers, and jams. While I'd tolerate jam in the PBJ that found its way into my lunchbox every day, I preferred the deeper, moodier flavor of brown sugar, maple syrup, and chocolate.
It wasn't until my mid-20s that I learned to love the nuanced flavor that fruit can bring to sweet dishes, and the greatest appreciation that grew from my maturing palate was for jam. It started with the chance tasting of a particularly luscious strawberry preserve, made from tiny mountain-grown berries that burst with sunshine and summertime flavor. This wasn't the insipid grocery store jam I'd grown up with. This was something special.
From there, my love of unique jams grew even more when I learned that I could easily make them at home. With minimal time and effort, I could throw together interesting flavor combinations leagues ahead of anything I could buy at the store. Hallelujah! I was in gourmet heaven!
Perhaps the greatest realization in my jam making was when I discovered I didn't have to limit myself to summer produce. Fall and winter, while not considered seasons of abundance, provide gorgeous fruit that is just as preservable as anything you'll find in the middle of July. Take this jam, for instance: sweet pears and figs get a leg up from tart orange juice, and a touch of cinnamon grounds the entire experience in a warm autumn kiss. Sweet and comforting, I enjoy this jam spread on across fresh scones with a generous layer of crème fraîche or ricotta cheese.

Integrators who manufacture assembly automation
and OEM's who need equipment to manufacture assemblies are faced with
a very large challenge of how to get the parts into the assembly machines
for the assembly process, minimize workcell requirements, and keep costs down.
Whether there is a need to increase productivity, reduce costs or add product
variants, flexible part feeding systems are well suited to improve applications
that have complex parts and sustain frequent part changes. Applications include
small parts assembly (mechanical and electrical), material handling, and packaging.
Feeding parts into an assembly process is traditionally done using a
variety of methods. Some parts are presented scattered in multiple orientations
in boxes or in bins, and can be heavy or awkward to lift, position, and orientate
into a workcell. In other processes, parts are fed using feeders such as vibratory
bowl feeders, gravity fed part tubes, as stacked or fixtured material, by
being manually loaded onto kitted pallets, and by using dedicated tooling.
These methods can cause high costs, large floor space requirements, be unflexible,
and difficult to maintain. It can also be a challenge to ensure parts enter
the assembly process undamaged, in the correct orientation, and in the most
cost effective manner. The detailed and cumbersome processes used in these
traditional methods can cause extensive waste and prove inefficient over time.
In many traditional part feeding processes, manual operations are required
when feeding parts from one point to another. Many times these parts are difficult
to move by hand because of their size or shape. They can cause significant
downtime due to varying factors such as complex workcells, mistakes, or injuries.
Lower yields can occur due to human error in cases where the wrong parts are
placed into a station, which can lead to damaged tooling. The more parts are
handled and fixtured, the more chance there is to damage the part before the
assembly process. The labor to install, integrate and maintain dedicated tooling
can also be expensive.
Space is also limited in an assembly workcell, and consolidating the
number of assembly steps performed without altering workcell footprint can
be cost effective. For traditional part feeding processing, adding multiple
operations to one workcell can lead to costly tooling, and a complex and congested
assembly workspace. This can result in longer downtime and difficult repairs
if there are any issues. Quality suffers when it isn't easy to refine a process
or adjust parameters that cannot be discretely controlled. Flexible Part Feeding
solves these process issues effectively and efficiently.
Benefits of Flexible Part Feeding Over Traditional Part Feeding Methods
Flexible Part Feeding is right for
Loading machine tools as part of unattended operations
Feeding parts into an assembly line
Picking and packing food from a moving conveyor
Picking parts from boxes/bins as part of an assembly operation
Sorting easily tangled items
Consumer electronics and small part assembly
Commercial goods
Other applications can include:
Medical device assembly
Cosmetic kitting
Solar wafer handling
Battery manufacturing
A flexible part feeder can be a system
used to feed (or load) parts into a manufacturing
process. The best kind of intelligent flexible feeder system includes a feeder,
a vision system to locate the part for the next process, and a robot. This
type of system can overcome the high cost of traditional parts feeding by
loading a wide variety of parts in varying sizes, shapes and orientations,
and singulate them onto a conveyor for example. The advantages of a flexible
part feeder is that you can present many different parts into an assembly
process through the same part feeding mechanism and let the vision system
determine what parts to pick and how to pick them.
Flexible Part Feeding Robotic System
A good automatic flexible part feeding system will eliminate the task
of part orientation/positioning for automated pickup. Parts feeders:
Can be automatic feeders such as bulk, vibration, brush, carpet,
bowl, or step feeders.
Allow for multiple part shapes to be fed.
Eliminate jamming due to fixturing and tooling designed to
crowd the part.
Allow for more tolerance for parts that have a wide tolerance
band. (Traditionally it is difficult to fixture parts that vary from part
to part.)
Support efficient singulation where parts that are not singulated
sufficiently can be recirculated.
FANUC Robotics uses iRVision®
for part location. iRVision® is Integrated
Robot Vision which is the integration of a camera interface built into the
robot controller. One or more cameras can be attached to the robot, or they
can be in a remote location. In traditional processes, if you want the robot
to manipulate every workpiece in the same way, you need to place every workpiece
at exactly the same position. iRVision®
is a visual sensor system designed to eliminate such restrictions. iRVision® measures the position of each workpiece
by using cameras, and it adjusts the robot motion so that the robot can manipulate
the workpiece in the same way as programmed even if the position of the workpiece
is different from the workpiece position set when the robot program was taught.
All of the application-specific tools developed to simplify the use of the
camera as a guidance, identification, or inspection tool are integrated with
the robot.
Can handle multiple parts at one time.
Reduces floor space.
Makes part changeovers a breeze.
Can identify parts in multiple orientations.
Can identify parts in 2D or 3D.
Can error proof the parts as they enter assembly, as well
as the assembly itself.
Can increase throughput.
Reduces or eliminates fixturing costs.
iRVision® is also capable of
tracking and identifying parts as they are moving down a conveyed line. This
is extremely useful in a Flexible Part Feeding operation. Flex Part Feeding
is not possible without an adaptive picking process that can locate parts
as they are being presented to the assembly process. You also need an efficient
method to change the pick location if necessary. Vision Guidance with a camera
is the primary tool used to locate and adapt pick position for FANUC robots
based on randomly located parts feeding into an assembly process. Without
a tool like iRVision®, flex-feeding
is essentially impossible.
The primary criteria for a camera based flex feeding solution to work
is to have the ability to take a group of parts and singulate them so that
the camera or vision system can identify each part individually, locate the
part, and than send a location to a robot so the robot can pick them individually
off a conveyer, table, or from a bin (structured or mixed).
Robots are critical to an efficient and effective part feeding process
as well because now that the parts can be presented easily in many different
positions and orientations, you need the flexibility of a robot system to
be able to pick the parts. The robot advances parts picked in correct orientation
through to assembly. By having multiple parts be presented to a process through
the same part feeding mechanism, you can save on expensive floor space. You
can also save on a vastly reduced need for fixed, dedicated tooling, and your
assembly area is less cluttered enabling you to maintain the process easily
and add additional processes to the same workcell if necessary.
An M-10iA robot can be used to load
randomly placed parts into a machine tool. Parts are later removed after they
are machined and placed on an outbound conveyor in preparation for assembly.
Loading Randomly Placed Parts from a Belt Conveyor
In another application, an LR Mate 200iC
robot equipped with iRVision® is used
to find randomly placed cylindrical parts to be placed into a machine tool.
Using iRVision® to Machine Random
The parts are then machined precisely as they are prepared for assembly.
Machining Random Parts
Robots are an effective tool in the food processing
and packaging industry. Some FANUC Robots are specifically designed to meet
the stringent requirements in the food industry as they have enclosed rust-free
construction that can withstand sanitizers used to prevent food contamination.
In one application example, lettuce
heads are first dropped randomly on a conveyor.
Randomly Placed Heads of Lettuce
After the lettuce heads are singulated,
a vision system measures the shape and form of the lettuce and determines
where to cut the root.
Singulating Lettuce Heads
iRVision® Used to Measure Lettuce
Head Size
The FANUC LR Mate 200iB
robot helps to perform a second check on the lettuce head to determine its
size. If it passes the final test, the lettuce head is then placed successfully
into plastic trays.
Lettuce Heads that Pass the Final Test
The FANUC LR Mate 200iC robot and
M-16iB robots can be used in intricate
motor assembly operations. iRVision® is used to locate the reducer shaft
and allow for pinion assembly. The M-16iB
uses iRVision® to locate screws randomly
placed in a parts feeder for assembly.
Using Vision to Locate Screws
Upon completion of assembly, the robot places the finished part onto
a rack and locates parts to assemble another motor.
Finishing the Assembly Process
Wire forms can tangle easily when they fall into a box. A FANUC M-10iA robot with iRVision®
can be used to pick up wire forms that have been fed onto a conveyor using
a step feeder, and stack them neatly before placing them into a box.
Picking Up Wire Forms to Stack in a Box
iRVision® is used to find the
part on the conveyor so that the robot can pick it up. To eliminate the wire
tangling, the robot sorts the parts before stacking them in the box.
Robots using iRVision® can assemble
consumer electronic parts such as circuit boards. Parts can be placed randomly
on the conveyor, in any orientation, and the robot, using iRVision®,
can find them for placement later into an assembly process.
Visual Line Tracking
Vision can be used to find highly sensitive circuit board parts of varying
sizes stacked in boxes and then use a robot to place the parts into an assembly.
Flex Feeding Circuit Boards
Multiple robots can be used to streamline the process and improve the
speed at which parts are fed.
Dual Arm Flex Feeding
Two LR Mate 200iC robots equipped
with 2D Vision and a rotary flexible part feeder can be used to assemble ink
pens as shown below.
Small Part Assembly
iRVision® is used to pick multiple
parts of the pen from the flexible part feeder so that the robot can assemble
the pieces.
iRVision® Used to Identify Randomly
Placed Small Parts
Small Part Feeding
The LR Mate 200iC can adapt quickly
to small lot sizes, new styles, or other modifications providing an affordable
and flexible solution for small part production.
A FANUC M-1iA high speed parallel
link robot and an LR Mate 200iC robot can
be used to assemble and disassemble solar panels. The M-1iA
robot, equipped with iRVision® Visual
Tracking, can pick randomly located solar cells and form an array of solar
cells on an outbound conveyor.
Random Solar Cell Part Feeding
Placing Panels on an Outbound Conveyor
An LR Mate 200iC robot is used to
locate the array using iRVision® and
transfer it to the top of the solar panel for assembly. The robot then picks
a glass panel from a magazine and places it on top of the solar cell. All
of this is done without the use of expensive fixturing in a precise environment
so the solar panels are not damaged.

HOUSTON - Charges have been filed against three men arrested in the fatal shooting of a cellphone store owner during a robbery.
Hamid Warrich, 62, died on Feb. 19 after he was shot in the back at the Boost Mobile store on Telephone Road and Kinney, authorities said.
Brandon Toderick Johnson, 23, Johntay Gibson, 18, and Eric Eugene Washington, 20, have been charged with capital murder.
A woman and two children saw the shooting.
Investigators said two men wearing ski masks stormed into the store. While one served as lookout, the other with the gun forced everyone inside on the floor, police said. As the man was stealing money from the cash register, Waraich reached to push the button on a silent alarm. That's when the suspect shot Waraich in the back, investigators said.
Paramedics rushed Waraich to Memorial Hermann Hospital, but he died from his wound.
Investigators said the suspects used property stolen in the incident.
Investigators said they're looking at other cases to see if the suspects were involved.

Sashaspins, I agree Gracie's PCS scores were much too high---but so were Ashley's. The crowd in the arena would not agree that Gracie skated without passion and enthusiasm, because we gave her a spontaneous standing ovation, and she was the ONLY lady to receive such an accolade. No other lady landed the huge jumps she did, or displayed as much technical virtuosity. Her spins and footwork were good, too --- nearly all L4 (and BTW, she's received L4 for spins and L3 for footwork internationally, too).
I sense that you don't like Gracie Gold much, but give credit where it is due. If Ashley had delivered Gracie's program with the same jumps, spins and choreo, she would have scored well over 140.

After a bewildering attempt at understanding pubescent psyche during the Teen Choice Awards back in August, I decided to move down the ladder to writing about inebriated adults. So what better place to start than Hollywood's own kegger, the Golden Globes! I'll be going moment-by-moment, trying my best to figure out what makes Tinseltown tick.
That is, until Goose removes me for a more popular Alex Whitworth post; have to reach the over-60 crowd.
6:30 p.m. – It's raining on the red carpet. Kathy Griffin just melted.
6:32 – This news is a few days old now, but several Weight Watchers members fell through a floor in Sweden while waiting for weigh-in. Seeing the cast of Precious reminded me of this.
6:47 – Quentin Tarantino is wearing a black duster on the red carpet. Is it too soon for a Columbine joke?
6:52 – They just came back from commercial too soon, so there was 30 seconds of dead air. Or as I like to call it, a Jay Leno promo. (By the way, if you can't tell already, this is a Team Conan entry. Be prepared for the onslaught – it will make things easier on all of us).
7:00 – And away we go. Ricky Gervais is hosting tonight, reinforcing stereotypes about British dentistry, British dieting, and British humor, which is tasteless and hilarious. I'm betting he makes at least two Haiti-related jokes, one of which I laugh at against my will.
7:02 – Gervais, creator of The Office and Extras, usually makes for edgy TV, but even he seems blase after NBC broadcast someone getting screwed all week.
7:07 – In the first presentation of the night, best supporting actress in a motion picture goes to Monique for Precious. This movie could be a big winner tonight; it's about a girl who is impregnated by her father. A real upper.
7:10 – Stop the presses: Tina Fey just lost an award. Toni Collette ends up taking home the Globe for best actress in a TV series. Now how will 30 Rock be honored for belittling Middle America?
7:16 – Ooh, there was a Lindsay Lohan sighting in the crowd. She came dressed as a waitress.
7:18 – John Lithgow can't find his way to the stage to accept the award for best supporting actor in a TV series. I feel like COPS should do an episode full of stars stumbling out of awards shows and having to walk the line.
7:21 – Sir Paul McCartney: "Animation is not just for kids, it's also for adults… who take drugs." It's easier to get knighted than it used to be.
7:22 – Up wins for best animated motion picture. Well deserved.
7:24 – The camera pans across the audience: I couldn't tell if it was the Golden Globes or a DNC national fundraiser! But seriously, folks, moving back to 11:35 is going to be great…
7:28 – I went to grab a snack, so I could only hear this part. The presenter has been drinking heavily, evidently. Or the teleprompter went dead. So it's either Billy Joel or Barack Obama.
7:32 – Jane Krakowski and Neal Patrick Harris are presenting an award. Did I switch to the GLAAD Awards?
7:35 – Julianna Margulies just wished her son a happy birthday during her acceptance speech. He was at home. You watching this, Child Services?
7:42 – Harrison Ford is presenting best picture nominee Up In The Air. I went to watch it earlier this year, but accidentally ended up seeing a movie called The Mile High Club. Not the same film, but George Clooney was in both.
7:42 – Harrison's talking like his mouth is still frozen in carbonite.
7:44 – Gervais insults McCartney, then goes for his first Haiti joke.
7:44 – I laughed.
7:45 – Christina Aguilera and Cher announce the winner for best original song in a motion picture. Judging by its mother, Chaz Bono didn't need surgery, he/she just needed to wait for time to take its course.
7:52 – Amy Adams and Josh Brolin announce the nominees for best mini-series. The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien has to be the front-runner.
8:00 – Big surprise. Meryl Streep just won best actress in a motion picture for Julie and Julia. How many rooms in her home are devoted to holding trophies? She puts things in perspective, describing how she's conflicted about accepting an award while there is suffering in Haiti.
8:05 – Does Microsoft staff their commercials exclusively from the Jewish Polo League?
8:10 – The Globe for best actor in a mini-series is announced by an actor and actress from Avatar, the movie that made us believe liberalism doesn't have to just be 2-D.
8:14 – Drew Barrymore is rambling, and she might have a sea urchine on her shoulder.
8:14 – Oh, shoot, it's wrapped around her back now. She might be a coral reef by the end of the night.
8:17 – I'm not going to say that NBC doesn't want Conan mentioned tonight, but they just escorted Teri Hatcher out of the building for wearing orange.
8:23 – Gervais is dying up there, a condemnation of the audience more than the speaker.
8:26 – Though he didn't win for best actor in a comedy series (Alec Baldwin did), Steve Carell is still my favorite. Although the more I see of Michael Scott on The Office, the more I'm convinced Carell's just playing a white Michael Steele.
8:29 – It's getting a little ridiculous with the Alec Baldwin love, by the way. I mean, he's good as Jack Donaghy, but he's no Stephen.
8:32 – Samuel L. Jackson introduces Inglorious Bas****s for best picture. He's so much cooler than I could ever hope to be. To be fair, though, I'm white.
8:38 – The best TV series drama goes to Mad Men. Jon Hamm is bursting with joy. Christina Hendricks is just bursting.
8:45 – Wow, first major upset of the night. Chloe Sevigny of Big Love beats Jane Lynch of Glee for best supporting actress in a TV series. I don't understand the decision: Lynch was hilarious all season in Glee. Not that I watch Glee.
8:45 – I mean, my girlfriend makes me watch Glee. But I'm comfortable about it.
8:50 – Christoph Waltz (Inglorious Bas****s) deserves the win he just got for best supporting actor in a motion picture. I haven't seen a German this talented since, uh, Johannes Guttenberg? Johann Sebastian Bach?
8:50 – Were all German men in the Middle Ages required to start their names with Johan? Does this make Johan Santana German? I'm confused.
8:52 – If you think any of these lines are cheesy, just check out Waltz' speech. You'll never believe this, but he said his globe was now golden. I think you're supposed to call your doctor if that happens.
8:55 – Generally, I'm on the computer while she watches Glee. It's just background noise.
8:57 – Martin Scorsese represented Italian culture in the 1970s and '80s in the same way Jersey Shore does now.
9:05 – In his lifetime achievement award acceptance speech, Scorsese just quoted Faulkner, "The past is not dead. It is not even past." These are the people telling us who to vote for in elections.
9:14 – Gervais just spouted the best Mel Gibson joke I have ever heard. In terms of Jewish revenge, it was the Inglorious Bas****s of jokes. Mel seems to take it well as he announces the winner for best director, James Cameron.
9:16 – The presenters aren't the only thing breaking seals tonight. Cameron says he's keeping his acceptance speech short because "he has to pee something fierce." Well then.
9:19 – Glee wins for best comedy!
9:20 – I love pickup trucks, grilled steaks and watching sports.
9:25 – The cast of The Hangover is announcing the preview for The Hangover – BUT ZACH GALIFIANAKIS ISN'T UP THERE. That's like setting the dinner table and not eating.
9:27 – The Hangover wins for best comedy in a motion picture! Now I can justify seeing it five times. It's art.
9:33 – The Governator says the only way to make more money than "Ahvadar" is to "be hired by NBC, or fired by NBC!" That joke came in under budget!
9:36 – In a surprise, Sandra Bullock wins best actress in a motion picture drama for The Blind Side. Coincidentally, Mickey Rourke boxed under that name.
9:36 – At some point, I think the plastic surgeons are going to switch Mickey Rourke and Nancy Pelosi's faces and see if anyone notices.
9:40 – Awkward moment as Robert Downey Jr. tries to freebase the Globe (That joke was in memory of the year 2000, a great year for jokes and celebrities screwing up in ways we may never see again).
9:47 – The Dude just won a Golden Globe. Jeff Bridges takes home the win for best actor in a motion picture drama. It really tied the ceremony together.
9:51 – Julia Roberts, who has looked sloshed for three hours now, is about to present the award for best drama. The anticipation is thick here in Fargo.
9:57 – Roberts was a slurry letdown, and Avatar wins for best drama.
And so it ends. I'd give the show a blood alcohol content of .006, tipsy but not legally drunk. There were some self-congratulatory moments, some stepping over the line, some drama, some tears and one great British comic. Your move, Academy Awards.

The life of a "Galvanized Yankee."
David was the son of David Franklin & Rebecca Schell. He Married May Ann Wann about 1853. That marriage was blessed with ten children.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, David Franklin enlisted in Company C, 3rd Regiment (Lillard's) Tennessee Mounted Infantry (Confederate States of America).
Col. Lillard led the regiment in the Kentucky Campaign, and they saw combat action at Baker's Creek, Big Black, Vicksburg, Morristown, Greenville, Bull's Gap, and in the Valley of Virginia.
David was captured during the Battle of Vicksburg in July, 1863. He was pardoned and exchanged on July 10, 1863. He was once again captured by Union forces in Benton County, TN, in December 1863. This time, he was sent to the infamous Federal Prison Camp in Rock Island, IL. While there, he was admitted to the prison hospital, suffering with smallpox. Later in life, his military pension application would show that he was 75% disabled, with vision, hearing, and back injuries.
While a prisoner-of-war at Rock Island, he enlisted in Company B, 3rd United States Volunteer Infantry, and he served in the Frontier Service of the Northwestern Frontier.
The United States Volunteer Infantry Regiments were made up of former Confederate soldiers who, while prisoners of war, were given the opportunity to leave POW camps in the event they would serve in the United States Army. There was a very difficult process in making this transition from Confederate POW to the ranks of the Union army as a "Galvanized Yankee."
These men knew that by volunteering for the Union army, they would be shunned by their former comrades, and after the war, they were frequently shunned by Union and Confederate Veterans alike and most were not granted pensions from the US Government. However, these men endured trials and tribulations well beyond the prisons, and their exploits in the American Territories out west were trying in themselves and, in the end, many of these men did good and loyal service in the name of the United States on its frontier.
David was honorably discharged from Federal service in November, 1865. Thus, David Franklin had the very unusual destinction of serving in both the Confederate and Union Armies during the Civil War, as a "Galvanized Yankee". One of only 6,000 Americans to do so.

UCL Environmental Information Policy
Endorsed by the Chair of the Information Strategy Committee
19 March 2012
1 Introduction
The Environmental Information Regulations 2004 impose a duty on public authorities such as University College London to make available environmental information it holds:
- Progressively by accessible electronic means (information collected after 1 January 2005); and
- On request.
The Regulations apply to:
· Information in UCL's possession, whether produced or supplied by UCL or another person or body
· Information UCL holds on behalf of another person or body.
Anyone may make a request in writing for recorded information held by or on behalf of UCL, and UCL must comply promptly and in any case within 20 working days. Unless subject to one of 13 exceptions described by the Regulations, the information must be provided.
The Regulations override any legislation that would otherwise prevent disclosure of information in accordance with the Regulations.
The Information Commissioner's Office is the independent regulatory authority for the Regulations, and the avenue of appeal for requests that have not been resolved to the applicant's satisfaction.
2 Scope
The purpose of this document is to define UCL's Environmental Information Policy:
· The duties imposed by the Regulations and how UCL intends to discharge those duties
· Responsibility for ensuring compliance
· Complaints and appeals.
The procedure for responding to requests is described in Handling Information Requests under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004.
3 Roles and responsibilities
UCL's Provost and Council have overall responsibility for compliance with the Regulations in UCL. Operational responsibility is delegated to the Freedom of Information Officer.
4 Code of Practice
UCL will comply with the Regulations, and handle requests in accordance with the Code of Practice issued by the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs under Regulation 16.
The purpose of the Code is to facilitate disclosure by setting out good administrative practice, and standards for the provision of advice to applicants. It also covers consultation with third parties to whom the information relates or those likely to be affected by a disclosure of information, the implications of confidentiality provisions in contracts, the transfer of requests to other public authorities and the mandatory provision of a complaints procedure.
5 Handling and tracking of requests
The Freedom of Information Officer is responsible for the processing and monitoring of Environmental Information requests.
The dedicated routes for requests are:
· The email address firstname.lastname@example.com
· By post to:
Freedom of Information Officer
University College London
Records Office
South Junction
Gower Street
· By fax to 020 7679 2009.
All requests will be logged and tracked by the Records Office. This will aid identification of similar or manifestly unreasonable requests. Multiple requests for information on a particular subject will lead to consideration for its addition to the Publication Scheme during the annual review.
The 20 working day deadline may be extended for requests which are voluminous and complex.
Where there is reason to believe that some or all of the information requested is held by another public authority, UCL will contact the applicant and provide information about where to re-direct the request. In some cases the request may be transferred directly to the other authority.
6 Exceptions and the public interest test
There are 13 exceptions from the right of access, four of which do not apply to information about emissions. All exceptions require a public interest test to be applied, to decide whether the public interest in withholding the information outweighs the public interest in disclosing it.
Where an exception is deemed to apply to some or all of the information requested, the applicant will be notified in writing. The relevant exception will be cited and any information that is not exempt will be provided.
Since the Regulations require a presumption in favour of disclosure, in cases where there is equal weight between withholding information and disclosing it, the information will be disclosed.
If legal opinion is thought to be necessary, it will be sought by the Freedom of Information Officer.
7 Personal information
The Regulations do not apply to requests for the personal data of the applicant.
If the information requested includes personal information about a third party, the information will be provided, unless:
1 Disclosure would contravene any of the data protection principles. The key issues in this regard are fairness and lawfulness, and these will be considered fully before disclosure is made.
2 Disclosure would contravene Section 10 of the Data Protection Act (right to prevent processing likely to cause damage or distress).
3 The data subject would not be entitled to receive the data.
4 Disclosure would contravene UCL's notification to the Information Commissioner under Section 17 of the Data Protection Act.
8 Third party information
In accordance with the Code of Practice, where a request is made for information about a person other than the applicant or UCL (a third party), or disclosure may affect the interests of that third party, UCL will, where appropriate, consult the third party promptly in order to determine whether an exception applies, and to aid the decision on disclosure. However, the decision will be made entirely by UCL.
9 Charges
A reasonable charge may be made for making information available. The charge will not exceed the cost of producing the information. A fees notice will be issued, which must be paid within 60 working days. If the fee is not paid, UCL is released from its obligation to provide the information.
No charge will be made for information costing less than £35 to produce.
No charge will be made for access to public registers or lists of environmental information, or for physical inspection of information.
10 Complaints
Any written reply from the applicant expressing dissatisfaction with UCL's response to a request will be treated as a complaint, whether or not the applicant has expressly stated a wish to have the decision reviewed. This includes appeals against decisions to withhold information. The Director of Estates & Facilities is responsible for handling complaints. A response will be provided within 20 working days.
Complaints received more than two months after the initial decision will not be considered.
If dissatisfied with the outcome of the review, the applicant may seek a review by the Information Commissioner, who has powers to uphold or overturn the decision. UCL will abide by the decisions of the Information Commissioner's Office, unless it considers itself to have grounds for an appeal to the First-Tier Tribunal (Information Rights).

The Look: Anna Kendrick
A soft gray smoky eye paired with a glossy burgundy lip portrays "gothic elegance and dark romance," says makeup artist Pat McGrath, who crafted the look at Viktor & Rolf. Try CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 4-Kit Shadows in Urban Basics, and Pro Longwear Absolutely It Lip Pencil topped with Lipglass, both by M.A.C
The Look: At Michael Kors, a soft pink flush bloomed both on the runway and off. Shiseido artistic director Dick Page had editors blushing backstage about his racy inspiration: "It's the look after a morning of skiing, an hour in a hot tub, or some good sex." In Paris, Pat McGrath, P&G's global creative director, was less risqué, citing ballerinas as the muses for the models at Dior.
Seen At: Dior, Issa, Michael Kors, Temperley
DIY: Page smudged red lipstick on cheeks, blending with a damp foundation sponge, while McGrath opted for a cream blush. Concentrate a pink shade on just the apples for a youthful glow.

TWO women were trapped in a convertible when they were involved in a crash with another vehicle in Warndon, Worcester.
A Land Rover Defender and a Vauxhall Astra convertible collided at about 11.30am yesterday along near the Warndon Gyratory at junction six of the M5 northbound, trapping the driver and the passenger of the Astra.
Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service freed the women and both were taken to Worcester Royal Hospital by ambulance.
The driver of the car was immobilised on a spinal board as a precaution and no major injuries were reported.
The male driver of the Land Rover was unhurt in the crash which caused delays at the motorway roundabout.
West Mercia Police were in attendance to direct traffic and the road was not closed.
