A weekly round-up of the latest DVD releases.
By Damon Smith
New to rent on DVD/Blu-ray
Arthur Christmas (Cert U, 93 mins, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Animation/Comedy/Action, also available to buy DVD £17.99/Blu-ray £22.99)
Featuring the voices of: James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Jim Broadbent, Imelda Staunton, Ashley Jensen, Bill Nighy, Ramona Marquez.
Santa (voiced by Jim Broadbent) has been the figurehead of the Yuletide season for decades and he proudly oversees this year's delivery of presents in his hi-tech spacecraft, masterminded with military precision by eldest son Steve (Hugh Laurie). Down in the bowels of the craft, youngest son Arthur (James McAvoy) excitedly answers correspondence from the children of the world, including a young British girl called Gwen (Ramona Marquez). A malfunction in the loading bay goes unnoticed by the elves in mission control and Gwen doesn't receive her pink bicycle. With time running out until Gwen's Christmas is ruined, Arthur joins forces with Grandsanta (Bill Nighy) and wrapping elf Bryony (Ashley Jensen) to deliver Gwen's gift using the old sleigh and a team of retired reindeers. Aardman, the creator of Wallace and Gromit, reveals the truth about Santa's 21st century operations in this hugely entertaining computer-animated comedy that delivers a feast of family fun for the festive season. Arthur Christmas is a treat for the very young and the young at heart, affirming all of the wholesome messages of the holiday season without lingering too long on the rampant materialism. The script, co-written by Peter Baynham and Sarah Smith, is festooned with loveable characters and belly laughs, from Laurie's pompous Santa-in-waiting to Nighy's old-timer who rejects all of the technological improvements to centuries of tradition. Imelda Staunton lends her warm tones to Mrs Santa and Justin Bieber sings a suitably jolly rendition of Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town over the end credits. Arthur Christmas is coming to town, and he's a hoot.
Rating: ****
Dr Seuss' The Lorax (Cert U, 94 mins, Universal Pictures (UK) Ltd, Animation/Comedy/Romance/Action, also available to buy DVD £19.99/Blu-ray £24.99/3D Blu-ray £29.99)
Featuring the voices of: Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Ed Helms, Danny DeVito, Rob Riggle, Jenny Slate, Betty White.
Twelve-year-old Ted Wiggins (voiced by Zac Efron) lives in the carefully controlled utopia of Thneed-ville with his mother (Jenny Slate) and feisty grandmother Norma (Betty White). Town mayor Aloysius O'Hare (Rob Riggle) provides the residents with all they need - everything except for real plants, which are manufactured in a factory. Ted pines for neighbour Audrey (Taylor Swift), who tells him dreamily, "What I want to see more than anything in the whole world is a real-life tree growing in my backyard." So the smitten lad seeks out a hermit called the Once-ler (Ed Helms), who knows why all of the Truffula trees disappeared from Thneed-ville. In exchange for 15 cents, a nail and the shell of a great, great, great grandfather snail, the Once-ler recounts how he inadvertently devastated the lush landscape for generations to come and summoned the guardian of the forest known as The Lorax (Danny DeVito). Dr Seuss' The Lorax is an environmentally conscious, computer-animated story of one boy's noble quest to restore balance between avaricious mankind and Mother Nature. Chris Renaud and Kyle Balda's film is rendered in lurid hues that radiate off the screen. Efron and Swift's honey-toned voices perfectly fit their cutesy characters, while the animators let their imaginations run amok in scenes of pre-deforestation Thneed-ville: marshmallow-guzzling bears tumble acrobatically through the air to doo-wops from a barbershop trio of fish. All very inventive, although villain Aloysius seems to hark from the same gene pool as Edna Mode in The Incredibles, minus her impeccable comic timing. The 3D version of the film is available exclusively on Blu-ray.

Ah Tao (Ip) has worked for the Leung family for more than 60 years, raising different generations including young master Roger (Andy Lau) and his kind mother, Mrs Leung (Wang Fuli). While cleaning Roger's apartment and preparing his food, Ah Tao suffers a stroke and decides that the time has come to retire. She tells her employer that she wishes to live in an old people's home so she isn't a burden on his family. Roger finds her a bed in the finest facility in town and makes regular visits to Ah Tao, ensuring that she is receiving the best care possible. Despite her frail condition, Ah Tao tends to the other residents of the home and forges an even deeper bond with Roger, which blurs the usual boundaries between servant and master.
Big Boys Gone Bananas!* (Cert E, 90 mins, Dogwoof Digital, DVD £14.99, Documentary)
In 2009, Swedish film-maker Fredrik Gertten made the documentary Bananas!*, which chronicled the efforts of 12 Nicaraguan plantation workers to file a lawsuit against Dole Food Company. The feature was subsequently removed from competition at the Los Angeles Film Festival and lawyers acting on behalf of Dole threatened legal action to stop Gertten from distributing his picture. Big Boys Gone Bananas!* continues this extraordinary story through the film-maker's eyes as he faces a barrage of criticism and scrutiny in the media and contends with the very real possibility that the multinational corporation will file a defamation lawsuit. With freedom of speech at stake, Gertten dares to stand up to the consumer giant, risking everything to ensure the voices of the 12 Nicaraguan plantation workers are heard on the big screen.

Al Murray's bibulous and notoriously intolerant alter ego embarks on his latest tour to salve the wounds of Broken Britain and vent his fervent dislike of our European neighbours in France.

A two-disc box set comprising Barrel Of Fun Live and The Only Way Is Epic Live is also available.
Revenge - Season 1 (Cert 12, 902 mins, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, DVD £30.99, Thriller/Romance)

Minnesota hockey players Carlos (Carlos Pena), James (James Maslow), Kendall (Kendall Schmidt) and Logan (Logan Henderson) continue their journey to becoming a chart-topping boy band in another seven episodes of the Nickelodeon family comedy.

Robert Florence and Iain Connell write and star in six more episodes of the critically acclaimed Scottish sketch show set in the titular town of misfits and oddballs. Recurring characters include bickering siblings Paul and Walter, who run an ice-cream van, a serial killer dubbed The Burnistoun Butcher, Beyonce wannabe Kelly McGlade and her band the Sloppy Seconds, and resident superhero Doberman Man. A four-disc box set comprising all three series is also available.
Two Years At Sea (Cert E, 90 mins, Soda Pictures, DVD £17.99, Documentary)
Award-winning artist Ben Rivers builds on images and themes from his short films with this provocative feature documentary which explores the hermetic existence of a man called Jake, who Rivers first encountered in his work This Is My Land. Setting up his camera in and around the ramshackle house in the middle of a forest that Jake calls home, Two Years At Sea is a revealing portrait of a bona fide outsider who is at one with nature but completely separate from the rest of mankind. Without obviously intruding on Jake's solitude, the film delights in the minutiae of the subject's day-to-day existence, from walks in the countryside to fishing trips on a loch using a crudely constructed raft.

Image: White Shark teeth
The teeth of a White Shark from the Australian Musuem Ichthyology Collection (AMS I.34192-001). The image shows a portion of the back of the jaw. In the live fish, the rows of teeth are normally covered with tissue. Only the teeth at the top of the image would be visiible. The 2.1 m long fish was caught by a shark mesher off Red Head beach, Newcastle, New South Wales in February 1992.

Here is the predicament. I struggle mightily with grip lock problems. Anytime I am going for my max power, I can almost predict a good 20 degree right grip lock. Problem is, when I go for max power in an open space, that grip locked release actually goes about 30 to 40 feet further than a non-grip locked release (albeit to the right).
Question is, how can I get all that grip-lock snap and power, without throwing the disc 20 degrees right?

Venters nearly ready to throw bullpen sessions
ATLANTA -- Although there is still no timetable for Jonny Venters to return to the Braves' bullpen, he has made progress since receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection in early June. Venters threw from 100 feet on flat ground on Friday, and he could begin bullpen sessions soon.
"We're looking for him to throw bullpens on the road," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "I don't know the exact dates of those bullpens, but we're looking to get him on the mound here on the road."
Gonzalez anticipates that early bullpen sessions for Venters would be between 10-20 pitches as the southpaw regains a feel for pitching off the rubber. Venters has felt good since he resumed throwing on July 18 following time off due to his PRP injection.
"I don't foresee anything," Gonzalez said of any potential complications from Friday's work. "I just saw Jonny go by and I asked him how it went, and he goes, 'It felt great.' But again, it's playing catch from 100 feet."
The Braves are optimistic that the PRP injection has been beneficial for Venters, but given the left-hander's previous struggles with pain and inflammation during this rehab process, they remain cautious about rushing him along too quickly.
"Best case scenario is get him onto the next [step in recovery], and just keep building off from that," Gonzalez said. "Because you start thinking about best-case scenario [for a return], and then there's a step back or a setback. Let's get him onto the next catch, and then get him on the mound and just keep working our way up there."

Topic: Update on our son, Jeff and questions
Hi CC Family,
We haven't posted an update on Jeffrey since the aborted liver resection. Since then, we have continued with cis/gem through our ONC at UCLA. He is continuing to get more fatigued. We are scaling back some of his regular activities. He continues to work at the job he loves so much but is now down to between half and three quarters time. He continues to bowl through Special Olympics on Saturdays. We are using a wheelchair to helphim when we are doing things that require alot of walking. He still has his infectiously positive outlook and attitude.
We have a second opinion set with Dr. Lenz at USC to explore any possible alternative options.
Question #1: He is due for another stint replacement in his bile duct. That doc has suggested changing to a more permanent metallic stint rather than the plastic ones which need to be replaced about every 3 months. How might this change affect his chemo regime and or other forms of alternative therapies & diagnostic tests?
Question #2: Thin clay colored stools...what is that about? Is that from the CC or the chemo? Last upper/lower GI was back in 10/12 and was clean.
Thanks for your time & consideration.
Please keep Jeff in your prayers. Along with many of you, we continue to pray for a miracle.
We love you guys.
Bob & Nancy
Jeff's Mom & Dad

"What's a better way to learn about science than having a mad-scientist party?" says Cris McGrath of Crissy's Crafts. And what little boy wouldn't be mad about a party full of edible treats that look like atom balls, lab rats, brains, frogs, and bacteria culture? This party truly has something for every budding scientist, including a ton of beakers, test tubes, petri dishes, and lab googles (not to mention some awesome printables). While this bash might look like it could end in a bang (and not the good kind), the only explosion that occurred at this birthday party was an outburst of fun! Keep clicking for all the details.

Is Herb really committed to a championship or simply providing this town with a franchise that significantly makes this town a more interesting and enjoyable place to live? Would Herb rather spend his money on Cancer centers, research buildings in Bloomington, and other buildings having significant worth than paying another ballplayer a fat salary?
Just asking because we don't really know his priorities. Having an excellent team that does really well but not championship well may just be fine with him.
He and his brother have made a real difference in Indy and not just in sports.

In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
If you're looking for a classic example of the Italian sub at a few bucks cheaper than most sandwich shops, you'll find it at Brad's, a small spot inside Columbia University's campus serving up cheap grub for students.
There's nothing fancy here, just a simple hero that tastes like a homemade version of Subway, only with fresher meats and bread that, if not stellar, lack's Subway's processed funky aroma. It comes with a similar price tag to Subway as well, clocking in at $6.
The sandwich comes hot, not cold, to the benefit of that bread but the detriment of the shredded lettuce; eat this before the lettuce wilts.

John "Jack" Kennedy, car salesman noted for his sense of humor
Dec. 19, 1953 – Aug. 3, 2013
John F. "Jack" Kennedy, a car salesman known for his devotion to family and his deadpan sense of humor, will be remembered at a Mass of Christian Burial at 9:30 a.m. Thursday in St. Christopher Catholic Church, 2660 Niagara Falls Blvd., Town of Tonawanda.
Friends and family are heartbroken that he will not be with them at the church two days later, when one of his two sons will be married.
Mr. Kennedy died Saturday after he became ill outside his Town of Tonawanda home. He was 59.
He was a highly successful car salesman at Zeigler Honda in Amherst, formerly known as Don Davis Honda, and he was active in volunteer activities at St. Christopher's Church, Carly's Club and Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
Born in Buffalo, Mr. Kennedy was raised in Amherst and the Town of Tonawanda, where he attended Sweet Home schools. Fellow members of the Sweet Home High School class of 1972 elected him their class vice president, largely on the strength of the comedy routines he performed at school events with his friend and classmate, Rick Johnston.
A talented artist, Mr. Kennedy also put his deadpan sense of humor to work in cards and posters he drew for friends and family members throughout his life.
He spent two years working in an automobile factory and about 20 years working at an auto-detailing company run by his family before finding his true niche selling cars.
His sales figures won him both local and national awards.
Mr. Kennedy was an avid fan of classic cars, the Buffalo Bills, Notre Dame football and "anything Irish," according to his brother Joseph. Mr. Kennedy was married for 33 years to his high school sweetheart, the former Erin McGinty.
"One of his sons, Jimmy, will be married Saturday at St. Christopher's," Joseph Kennedy said. "Jack will be buried two days before that."
In addition to his wife, his son James and his brother Joseph, Mr. Kennedy is survived by two daughters, Megan Cudzilo and Heather Paolucci; another son, Patrick; a sister, Kathleen Leonard; and two other brothers, Thomas and Michael.

The challenge to Americans grateful for the sacrifice made by our military is to help returning veterans launch a successful civilian life.
My own support for service members and their families got organized when I helped found Homefront San Diego after the attack on 9/11/2001.
Now, 11 years and two wars later, tens of thousands of veterans and disabled veterans are returning to civilian life in bleak economic times. One veteran is determined to meet the challenge.
Workshops for Warriors is a nonprofit organization that was started here in San Diego by eight-year Navy veteran Hernan Luis y Prado to teach manufacturing skills to returning veterans.
Two-year-old Hernan emigrated with his family to the U.S. from Argentina. He joined the Navy after college. He served in Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain and Afghanistan, first as a corpsman, then as a surface warfare officer after graduation from Officer Candidate School.
While in college and in the Navy, Luis y Prado studied electrical and mechanical engineering, machining and welding, and computer-aided design. His tinkering attracted other military active-duty members interested in developing skills to get jobs in the civilian economy.
Last May, Luis y Prado was recognized at the White House as a "Champion of Change," a recognition given to "ordinary Americans (who) are doing extraordinary things in their communities."
Along with U-TTV cameraman Andy Yardy, I interviewed Hernan and some of the veterans at the Workshops for Warriors location in leased industrial space on Main Street in San Diego.
Hernan opened my eyes to a disturbing contradiction. One of four San Diego homeless are veterans. Returning veterans face nearly double the unemployment rate of the civilian population while at the same time thousands of skilled manufacturing jobs go unfilled.
The Workshops for Warriors idea is to teach welding, machining and milling, and computer-assisted design to job seeking veterans who, as Hernan proudly said, are "hard working, drug free, show up on time, and know how to take the initiative to get the job done."
Graduates of the workshops receive certificates from recognized independent authorities to document their skills.
Luis y Prado also proudly told me that all the funding for Workshops for Warriors is privately donated. He has also solicited local manufacturers to use his veteran/student welders to do contract work to help fund the workshops.
The workshop students have repaired metal bins, built a restaurant entrance door, and fabricated handicap railings and handicap accessible ramps for disabled vets.
Even more remarkable, Luis y Prado explained that his goal was to get patents for inventions coming out of the workshops to generate funding to start more such workshops in other cities.
Patents? Yes. Hernan showed me a golf cart with a solar panel roof to recharge its battery, the first electric-powered Jeep, and the solar roof of the trailer powering the computer-assisted design work going on inside. All are "patents pending" inventions of the workshops.
A patent has already been granted for an interlocking steel plate system to level heavy machinery on uneven floor surfaces. All of this invented and built by Luis y Prado, his volunteer instructors, and the veterans in the workshops.
I interviewed a half-dozen active service members and veterans in the welding workshop and the computer-assisted design trailer.
A female Marine described her experience as a welder in Afghanistan. I told her if she could make it there, she could make it anywhere. We both laughed but it was clear she was a determined and skilled young woman who would go far.
Two males scheduled to transition out of the Navy this year were attending the computer-assisted design class. Their goal was to get jobs in the weapons manufacturing field, combining their interest in a good job with their experience with military weapons.
A young male Marine who lost his lower left leg to an IED explosion talked enthusiastically about using computer-assisted design skills to build prosthetic devices like the one that enabled him to walk again.
Returning military seeking to re-integrate into civilian life face well publicized obstacles and difficulties. What is less publicized are the life skills our veterans bring back to the civilian work force. These vets are highly motivated, trained to teamwork, and used to working hard.
Workshops for Warriors is Hernan Luis y Prado's mission to provide vocational training and real world job experience to empower veterans and increase their career options.

Great American Taste Test – KFC biscuits
Have you ever seen those copy-cat recipes where you can make your favorite restaurant treats at home? The Red Lobster cheddar biscuits is a common copy-cat recipe out there. I was contacted to participate in the Great American Taste Test by testing out a recipe from America's Most Wanted Recipes by Ron Douglas (you can also check out his website). They offered to send me a free copy of the cookbook if I agreed to blog about a recipe comparison. I looked through the table of contents and decided to make the KFC Biscuits. I love KFC biscuits and I've never made biscuits at home.
While I was baking the biscuits, I sent Hubby off to KFC to grab a pair of their biscuits so we could compare the copy-cat recipe side-by-side with the real thing. We made these biscuits into breakfast sandwiches. Even though this isn't a typical way to eat a KFC biscuit, we love to eat a big late breakfast on the weekends.
Size – My biscuits were a bit on the small side. I had to use a medium sized biscuit cutter to get the 9 biscuits the recipe says it makes. I would much rather have fewer thicker and bigger biscuits than more small ones. As you can also see from the picture, my biscuits didn't rise as much as the KFC ones did.
Taste – The biscuits I made are definitely flaky and soft. They were great and we both really enjoyed them. The taste is spot on when compared to the KFC biscuits. The texture was a bit different mostly because the KFC biscuit was more hard on the outside, but had the same flaky inside. I think I liked the texture of the biscuits I made better than the KFC biscuit. I'll definitely use this recipe again if I need to make biscuits.
KFC Buttermilk Biscuits
Yield: 9 biscuits
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
2/3 cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 425.
Sift together dry ingredients into a large bowl. Cut in the shortening.
Make a nest in the flour mixture and add the buttermilk. Knead the mixture with hands until thoroughly combined and a soft dough forms.
On a floured cutting board, pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick disc and cut with biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass. Place biscuits on a cookie sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Recipe from America's Most Wanted Recipes
8 Responses to "Great American Taste Test – KFC biscuits"
Looks like these turned out great! I'm surprised they didn't call for brushing some egg on top of the biscuits before cooking, that might get that top a little crispier…I totally want to make some of these Saturday morning.
These look very good to me. I have a favorite biscuit recipe, but want to give these a try because of the buttermilk.
Have been following your blog for a while. Nice blog!
I agree Steph. Or maybe just melted butter to give it the color.
If you want to compare even more recipes from many of the popular sites, take a look at RecipeComparison.com. Just search for "buttermilk biscuits" and you'll see all the ingredients nicely laid out in a table with a link to jump directly to each recipe.
I worked at a KFC in the mid-90s. I had privy to the ingredients lists and methods. The biscuits came frozen and had egg in the dough. We brushed the tops after baking with butter-flavored oil that is commonly used in the restaurant industry. I remember thinking that the egg was unusual; I hadn't seen many biscuit recipes calling for egg, and I have been baking since I was 8.
kfc.com does not list eggs in their food allergy listing for the biscuits, just an fyi
I, too, worked at a KFC when I was a teenager. The biscuits were not frozen. It was a bag mix and we mixed it with a large tub of shortening. Then mixed, rolled, cut and baked. We topped with a "liquid butter" substance fresh from the oven. They may make them frozen now, but they didn't in the early 90's.
Oh, and there are NO eggs in the mix. Otherwise, it would be a cake, not a biscuit. That is common baking "science".

Adam Morrison, a former standout player at Gonzaga, will return to the university and join the coaching staff this season, CBSSports.com reported Thursday.
Morrison has been taking classes at Gonzaga, and coach Mark Few said when the former player joins the staff, "He'll be a student assistant.
"It'll be great. The players really respect him."
Morrison, along with an intense mustache and shaggy hair, earned National Player of the Year honors at Gonzaga—now in the West Coast Conference—in 2006. He averaged 28.1 points-per-game that season.
The 28-year-old was drafted third overall by the Charlotte Bobcats in the 2006 NBA draft. He bounced around the league, including stints with the Lakers (part of two championship teams) and Wizards (waived after training camp), before heading overseas in 2011.
Morrison's playing career at Gonzaga ended with a heartbreaking Sweet 16 loss to UCLA in the 2006 NCAA Tournament.

Overlapping SquaresProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
Two squares each 17cm by 17cm are drawn randomly inside a square measuring 1m by 1m.
The edges of the two smaller squares are both parallel/perpendicular to the edges of the large square.
What is the exact probability the two smaller squares overlap (or touch)?
Since the centers of the two smaller squares each lie inside a square of side 83cm, we can simplify the problem to:
Find the probability that the horizontal and vertical distances between 2 points in a square of side 83 cm are less than or equal to 17 cm.
Considering the horizontal distances:
Let x and y be the horizontal distances of the two points from the left edge of the 83 by 83 square.
Clearly x and y can take any value from 0 to 83.
We can represent this space of possibilities using a grid where the lower left corner is (0,0), the horizontal axis represents x, and the vertical axis represents y.
We must work out what part of this space represents the two points being a distance of 17cm or less apart, we can do this by plotting a point where it is true.
Firstly assume y>x, then we must have y<=x+17.
This inequality is simply all the points on and below the straight line from (0,17) to (66,83).
Now assume, y<=x, then we must have y>=x-17.
This inequality is simply all the points on and above the straight line from (17,0) to (83,66).
Combining both inequalities gives a shaded area that lies between 2 right-angled triangles.
The smaller sides of each triangle will be 66 cm each. So the area of both triangles together is 66^2.
Hence the shaded area=83^2-66^2=2533
Hence the probability the distance between x and y is less than or equal to 17 is 2533/83^2=2533/6889.
Now Prob(any 2 points in 83 by 83 square having vertical AND horizontal distance <=17) =
Prob(horizontal distance between points is <=17) * Prob(vertical distance between points is <=17)
=2533/6889 * 2533/6889 (Due to symmetry)

Arkansas quarterback Brandon Mitchell, who lost the spring quarterback battle with Brandon Allen, has requested and been granted a release from the Razorbacks' program, coach Bret Bielema announced.
Mitchell is one of four players who have granted releases. The others include defensive lineman Austin Flynn, defensive back Defonta Lowe and receiver Keante Minor. Flynn was arrested and charged with drunk driving, and his departure does not come as a surprise.
The same cannot be said of Mitchell, who competed with Allen and leaves the Hogs dangerously thin behind Allen.
"Through meetings with these student-athletes, a determination was made that it would be mutually beneficial for them to pursue their goals elsewhere," Bielema said in a Monday press release. "We fully support them and wish them all the best moving forward."
Mitchell, Bielema said, will graduate from Arkansas and will immediately eligible to play elsewhere on the FBS level. He was Tyler Wilson's backup in 2011, but last year moved to receiver.
Minor was a punt returner for Arkansas the past two seasons and Lowe played in four games as a true freshman in 2012.

Here's how to improve control loops
McMillan and Weiner talk with Jacques Smuts about improving control loops
Greg: I had the pleasure of interviewing Jacques Smuts on improving control loops,. a subject near and dear to my heart. Jacques is the president of OptiControls Inc and the author of the book Process Control for Practitioners that provides a very understandable and practical approach to control loop optimization.
Stan: What do you do for plants?
Jacques: I do process control consulting and training to improve the performance of control loops. You would think after 20 years it would become old hat, but I am constantly surprised at how key fundamentals are not understood by people responsible for tuning.
Greg: In the midst of teaching a course on opportunities in process control at a plant I used to work at outside New Orleans, I realized the veterans were hanging on each word, but the young engineers were pretty much blowing me off. I found out most of their job was paper work in a Six Sigma program, and none had spent any time trying to tune or improve loops. As I lead the ISA Mentor Program, I am astonished how little time my protégés have to work on control loops.
Jacques: I am lucky that I can focus on tuning loops. This has unfortunately been reduced to a small fraction of what practitioners at plants are responsible for today. Tuning is a skill that requires practice. Many don't appreciate how much you really have to know beyond the basic tuning relationships. You need to know if the valve works properly. You need understand if a process needs to be tuned fast or slow and whether you need to schedule tuning. I enjoy the depth of the field. We lose sight of what the user needs to know and what the user does know. Increasingly, the user has more responsibility and less time for tuning and learning.
Greg: I was impressed with your chapter on valve problems where you describe tests for the various sources of limit cycling. Most other books don't make a distinction between dead band and stiction or the importance of valve problems in general. In university textbooks, the valve is perfect, and the whole emphasis is on a process time constant and gain and a setpoint response, reducing the loop to a servo problem. This may work for aerospace, but not for industrial processes with sloppy valves, slow measurements, analyzer sample and cycle times, large and variable dead time, interactions, unmeasured disturbances and non-self-regulating responses.
Stan: What has been the impact of digital positioners?
Jacques: Nowadays I find a lot less dead band, but also some erratic behavior from weird positioner tuning. I am amazed at how many tuning settings are on a modern positioner. Each manufacturer has a proprietary algorithm and tuning parameters. Tuning guidelines are slim to none. It helps to know the positioner is a closed loop controller that could have overshoot and limit cycles. Also, be aware that the response time depends on step size. I have seen a response time increase from 2 sec for a 2% change to 30 sec for 0.5% change. I look at past history to see the size of increments in the PID output to determine what the controller will have to deal with. I have also seen a positioner develop a limit cycle with a flow loop in manual.

NOVI, Mich. - Metro Detroit malls and stores are starting to get more traffic as consumers are stocking up for the holiday season.
Crooks already are making their move. They are watching, waiting and stalking shoppers.
Police sources in Troy, Birmingham, West Bloomfield, Canton Township and Novi say they have heard from shoppers who have been ripped off after they left the mall or store. Thieves are watching shoppers and waiting for them to leave the store. They follow the shoppers home. Once the victim is inside the home with the bags still in the car the thieves move in, taking the the newly-purchased items.
"They come by your car, they give it the eye," said retired police detective Tom Berry. "They are looking through front windshields. They are looking through the side windows."
Berry said the single-most important thing a shopper can do is empty their vehicle right when they get home. Nothing should be left inside.
"Take the time to take the stuff out of your car. Get it in the house and then go do what you have to do," he said. "Don't leave the stuff in the car. Don't make it easy for the thieves to take the stuff."
Local 4 spoke with shoppers Tuesday who said they are always on alert.
"I get the baby in the house first, lock the car. Go back down for the other tings and hope that people are kind and not being mean by nature, I guess," said Jennifer Kennedy.
Security will be beefed up at many malls during the holiday shopping period. However, once a shopper leaves the mall they are on their own.

Nick from Sonic State got his hands on one of the first shipping Arturia Minibrutes. One thing is for sure is that this is the best sounding Arturia product. I think it sounds closest to the oldest Roland and Yamaha analog synths. It does have a great bass but it's not a Moog bass (which is good for a change). It has full MIDI and CV for connecting to analog sequencers (Hallelujah!!). For $500 the only reason a synth lover shouldn't get one is if you're already sitting in a room of synths.
"Currently rare as Dodo eggs, the Minibrute is Arturia's first forray into analog synths proper – we test and enjoy" – sonicstate.com

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - The thought of the U.S. government edging toward the fiscal cliff may scare some people, but one South Florida school teacher and dive coach is used to being out on the ledge and jumping off it.
Steven LoBue spends most afternoons at Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale, where he teaches diving to middle and high school students.
When he's not teaching, LoBue, 27, is jetting to exotic locations for the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series. He is the top U.S. cliff diver.
"I think when we hit the water we're hitting around 50 miles an hour, so there is a lot of potential for injury there. But that's not something we focus on," said LoBue.
Cliff divers balance on a platform 90 feet up before jumping into the ocean. When the tour stopped in Norway, the winds were blowing more than 30 miles an hour.
"You'll find at every location has its challenges and that's one of the things the we sort of relish, something that we love but you still have to adapt and become a master of the situation," said LoBue.
LoBue started diving when he was in elementary school. He earned a college scholarship and then tried out for the U.S. Olympic team before he discovered cliff diving.
LoBue said standing on the platform, looking out and then down helps him keep a healthy level of fear.
"If it is too high, you're not focused on what you need to be doing -- you could mess up," said LoBue. "And, if it is too low, you might do something stupid and hurt yourself pretty badly. So, you have to keep the fear in check."
In September, LoBue nailed a near perfect dive, becoming the first American to win a tour event.
"The sport itself has taken me places that I would never go really never dreamed of going. I'm just very fortunate to be healthy enough to able to do what I love," said LoBue.
Those exploits are inspiring LoBue's students.
"To always go for it and to never let my fears hold me back," said Shaynah Boulay.
"I think it is really cool to watch him do it because he's my coach," added Hannah Maister.
While LoBue said cliff diving is exciting, there's not much money in it. He received $6,000 for his first place finish.

DxOMark review for APS-C camera 2010 : who takes the lead ?Monday January 24 2011 Sensor Recommendations
Use Cases: K5, D7000 and A580 take the lead.
Looking at the overall score, a clear trend appears. The Pentax K5 ranks top (82), just a bit ahead of the Nikon D7000 and the Sony Alpha 580 (both at 80); they are followed by the Alpha 55 (73) and the EOS 60D (60).
This overall score ranking is easily understood. The Pentax K5 takes the lead with an impressive Landscape score (relying mostly on the sensor's dynamic range); the D7000 and Alpha 580 are extremely close to the K5, but a bit behind anyway. (Note that the difference is very tiny and should not be noticeable under normal conditions.)
At the other end of the scale, the Alpha 55 sensor is already handicapped by its semi-transparent mirror, with its dynamic range and above all its low-light ISO scores largely behind those of the first three models.
As for the EOS 60D, its sensor Use Case score for dynamic range and low-light ISO are among the lowest.
The Use Case scores define a clear pattern. Let's take a more in-depth look at those figures.
Further readings for the DxOMark review for APS-C camera 2010 : who takes the lead ?
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We are already acquainted with the D3200: apart from a few ergonomic details, it's the same camera as the compact and lightweight D3100 SLR, though missing the secondary display on its bridge for even greater compactness. The D3200 weighs only 454 grams (without battery or card). Unlike the D3100, the D3200's lens is off-center for better balance and the highly practical LiveView/video mode activation tab of the D3100 and the D5100 has disappeared in favor of a more ergonomically mundane video recording button. The D3200 comes with a second (dorsal) infrared sensor to complement its front sensor for more practical infrared remote control. The motor selection tab (single-frame, burst, timer, remote control) is gone as well, again replaced by a direct-access button.
The Nikon D5100 replaces the D5000 in Nikon's lineup; it finds its place right below the Nikon D7000, according to Nikon's marketing the D90 is still positioned between the D5100 and the D7000, however the spec sheet and the performances of the D5100 make this hard to believe.
This is because the D5100 shares the same Sony 16 megapixels sensor as the D7000. The major difference between the two bodies being the AF: 11 points with 3D tracking for the D5100 (presumably the "old" MultiCam 1000 already used on the D90) versus the 39 points with 3D tracking now used on the D7000.
With the new data for the sony A580, DxOMark team provides an in depth benchmark of the latest APS-C sensors.

ORLANDO, Fla. - You'll have to excuse Clippers guard Chauncey Billups for feeling a bit skittish about walking into the Amway Center arena in Orlando on Wednesday.
"Back to the scene of the crime," Billups said, his feet immersed in a bucket of ice as he sat under a basket following the Clippers' morning shootaround here.
He was talking about suffering a season-ending Achilles' tendon injury at Amway Center last year, not far, actually, from here he sat.
But it gets even eerier.
Billups injured the Achilles exactly a year to the day of his visit back Wednesday.
"And to take it even a step further, we came from D.C. last year too," Billups said, adding one more ominous connection.
So yeah, Billups felt a little weird Wednesday, although he made it a point to tell the Clippers' equipment team to make sure they didn't give him the same locker from last year as well.
That would have been too much.
Billups did not play again Wednesday - he's missed all but three games this year coming back from the Achilles injury and a bout with tendinitis in his left foot - but he will go through a team workout today in which he will play some full court with teammates and hopes to be back soon after.
"Tomorrow I'll be able to compete, get up and down the floor and see how I feel," Billups said.
Needless to say, it's been frustrating for Billups watching the Clippers struggle without him and also recently without Chris Paul. The Clippers took a three-game losing streak into the Orlando game and had lost seven of their last nine.
"It's hard because I know even if I played right now, I could help," Billups said. "But I'm not quite ready. And I know we need a little (help), so it's hard to sit out when we're struggling."

"...bee of Peaceable and Civil Behaviour."Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
A bell rung out,
a gong, a drumbeat,
or even a hunting horn sounded out its call.
A call for silence filled the air,
the words shouted,
of famine, war, feast, or taxation,
and all were protected by king, queen or country,
lest the messenger you kill.
Of what does this riddle speak?
HintHe said "Oyez, Oyez!" or she said "Oyez, Oyez!" And you say nothing you only listen.
AnswerTown Criers. The word "Oyez" mean "hear ye," which is a call for silence and attention. They carried a hand bell to attract people's attention, as they shouted the words. For the most part, the citizens of the towns or village, relied on the crier for the latest information, 'be it good or bad news'. Criers were not always men. Many Town Criers were women. Bells were not the only attention-getting device. In Holland, a gong was the instrument of choice for many, and in France they used a drum, or a hunting horn. In England the ruling monarch protected town criers; as they sometimes brought bad news, for example, tax increases. To injure or harm a Town Crier was seen as an act of treason against the ruling monarchy. This is how the term "don't shoot the messenger" came about.
A journal entry from 1715 notes that a: 'Belman at the Cross ... Reads publicly a proclamation in the Mayor's name, commanding all persons in the City to bee of peaceable and civil behaviour, not to walk around the Streets or Rows at unreasonable hours of night'.

As a sizable number of positions in the Department of Health remain unfilled, critics say they're empty for a reason.
Nearly 20 percent of positions within the Public Health Division are currently vacant, according to the DOH. The number of empty positions totals 30 percent in the division's northern New Mexico region alone, the highest in the state.
In some areas, vacancy rates are even higher among the positions that directly treat sick patients. In the western New Mexico region, for instance, four out of five nurse practitioner and doctor positions are currently unfilled.
"We're concerned about it," state Rep. Danice Picraux, D-Albuquerque, tells SFR. "I think we've hurt public health."
At a Dec. 7 public health forum in Albuquerque, state Sen. Dede Feldman, D-Bernalillo, says she heard from a number of public health employees who are taking on extra work because of the vacancies. Feldman, who chairs the Legislative Health and Human Services committee, says public health initiatives like tobacco-cessation programs and diabetes-prevention campaigns have been hit hardest in the past few years.
"These are the programs easiest to cut when times are tough," she tells SFR.
In a state with the highest drug-related overdoses and the second-highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation, the squeezed budget for preventive health programs is worrisome—and some critics blame first-year Secretary Catherine Torres, a pediatrician with no previous state government experience, whom Gov. Susana Martinez appointed in February.
The most recent complaints paint a picture of a DOH rife with bullying and intimidation under Torres.
"I hear a lot of criticism of her," state Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, D-Bernalillo, who also serves on the Health and Human Services committee, tells SFR.
The criticism amounts to an "ineptness and an autocratic approach" coming from those in charge of the department, Ortiz y Pino says. He ties it to Torres' lack of experience managing an organization comparable to the size of DOH, which encompasses roughly 4,500 state positions.
When Torres assumed her DOH leadership role in February, she inherited a department muddled in past controversies over allegations of nepotistic hiring practices and million-dollar accounting errors, among others [cover story, Jan. 13, 2010: "DOH!"]. Online comments from a recent SFR story on the DOH insinuate that things have only gotten worse [news, Dec. 7: "Department of Help"].
"Mrs. Torres has ripped the heart out of DOH and plopped it in the middle of her new logo," writes one commenter who claims to be a DOH staffer. Another commenter, posting as the "Collective Voice of DOH," writes a lengthy "open letter" to Torres that criticizes her for screaming at employees, gutting programs and stalling contracts.
"I think that's typical when people are in over their heads," Ortiz y Pino says. "I'm not surprised [Torres] would resort to a 'Do it because I said so' approach."
DOH spokeswoman Aimee Barabe tells SFR that she's never witnessed Torres yelling or intimidating staff. She also says the vacancies are being addressed, but couldn't say how before press time. Torres declined to speak with SFR before press time.
The evidence of sickness at the DOH, however, extends beyond anonymous web complaints—and into the courts. In October, the state reached a paid settlement with former DOH employee Diane Moore, who sued the department in 2009 for fraud and nepotistic hiring practices. On Dec. 9, according to local news reports, current HIV services employee Jennifer Smith filed a lawsuit alleging financial mismanagement and employee retaliation.
Before being nominated for the secretary position, Torres, a pediatrician for two decades, was medical director at First Step Pediatrics in Las Cruces from 2005-2009. She was also nationally recognized for her work on improving the health of people in need living near the Mexican border.
"They knew each other in Las Cruces from child abuse cases that they worked on together," governor spokesman Greg Blair, referring to Martinez and Torres, tells SFR. "It was mostly just a working relationship."
Feldman, who sits on the senate committee in charge of vetting governor-appointed candidates before the state senate votes to confirm them, says the Torres confirmation followed a "senatorial courtesy" to follow through with a new administration's appointments.
"She was a doctor," Feldman says. "That was a plus."
But to Ortiz y Pino, Torres' credentials don't necessarily confer the ability to manage the state's largest agency. (Despite current vacancy rates, the DOH's budget request for fiscal year 2013 is similar to last year's budget, asking for roughly $532 million from the state, approximately $1 million less than the department requested in FY 2012.)
He says he now regrets voting to confirm Torres for DOH secretary.
"In retrospect, there's some questions I should have asked," Ortiz y Pino says.
He says he'll likely be asking about the vacancies in hearings during next month's legislative session.

Found this cool old pull behind xylophone toy today. It is a Fiher Price "pull-a-tune". It still works well, has two strikers at each axle that alternately lift up from underneath to chime as it pulls along. Pretty neat. The copyright is 1964, not sure of actual date of this item but figure probably mid-late 60s early 70s? No idea of it's value but I thought it was a fun piece.

Iowa Lottery Winner Finally Materializes to Claim $16.5 Million After Year-Long Delay
On Monday, the deadline passed for an unknown $77 million lottery winner in Georgia to claim the prize. Unbelievable as that may have been, officials in Iowa had a similar situation — days before the deadline, a Hot Lotto ticket worth $16.5 million was still unaccounted for.
But no more. In a squeaker of epic proportions, an attorney for the unnamed winner stepped forward with the valuable little slip of paper on Thursday, just two hours before it would've been worthless.

Austin Mahone: 'I'm on the mend'
Teen idol Austin Mahone has assured fans he's on the mend after surgery to remove a blood clot in his throat. The What About Love singer had to scrap tour dates after falling ill last month (Oct13) and he's now back home trying to rush his recovery, so he can get back to work.
The 17 year old tells People.com, "I feel a lot better. I'm still trying to get to 100 per cent, but I'm taking it one step at a time."
He reveals he knew his condition was much more than just a sore throat when he couldn't swallow solid food.
He adds, "I started feeling a little bump in my throat. Every time I swallowed, it would be scratchy, it would hurt and I had the chills… It made my throat hurt so bad, for three days straight I wasn't even eating solid food."
But he insists he isn't simply resting up – he's been researching non-stop for his return to the stage.
He explains, "I watched YouTube videos of people I look up to, so next time I do a show, I can do better and be better."
Mahone is planning to stage his comeback at radio station KISS-FM's Jingle Ball in Dallas, Texas on 2 December (13).

When a team's head coach is on the hot seat in December, the owner already has started thinking about the next hire.
University of Oregon coach Chip Kelly is a hot name these days in NFL circles. Bruce Arians, doing a superb job as the Colts' interim head coach, is building an impressive resume that puts his name prominently on the head coaching radar.
"Organizations are already exploring which coaches are out there, and which coaches might fit their situation," said a former NFL general manager. "That's the balancing act that is very difficult to manage. You walk the tightrope as a GM, and as an owner. You're trying to show loyalty and support for the current coach, knowing that they probably have one foot out the door, and you're one of the people that's going to push them out."
At least one-fourth of the league's 32 head coaches could be on the way out. That's a high number even in this volatile profession.
Almost certain to be gone are Romeo Crennel (Chiefs), Andy Reid (Eagles), and Norv Turner (Chargers). Meanwhile, even if you take Rex Ryan of the Jets off the endangered coaches list, nine others have reason to worry—Dennis Allen (Raiders), Chan Gailey (Bills), Jason Garrett (Cowboys), Mike Mularkey (Jaguars), Mike Munchak (Titans), Ron Rivera (Panthers), Pat Shurmur (Browns), Lovie Smith (Bears) and Ken Whisenhunt (Cardinals).
Here are the teams that could be making a change, and names they might pursue.
Arians. The job he's doing with the Colts (9-4) speaks for itself. Having worked with Ben Roethlisberger and Andrew Luck, Arians could help Jay Cutler.
Dave Toub, Bears special teams coach. He's highly respected around the league and already knows the Bears' personnel.
Perry Fewell, Giants defensive coordinator. He was once Bills interim coach, and their defense needs improvement.
Mike McCoy, Broncos offensive coordinator. Has gotten kudos for his versatility, changing the offense for Tim Tebow and now Peyton Manning. "McCoy's a classy guy, sharp, and he's been a solid coach in Denver and Carolina," said a current NFL general manager.
Nick Saban, Alabama coach. I can't see this rumor coming true, but if he really wants this job, it's his.
David Shaw, Stanford coach. At age 40 with experience as an NFL assistant, he's the perfect age to make the jump. He also runs a pro-style offense. "The thinking has changed some regarding college coaches," said a former NFL general manager. "If you're a young, growing team, you need a coach with patience, who can teach, and who can connect with Generation Y," said a long-time NFL scout.
Ray Horton, Cardinals defense coordinator. That side of the football is solid and he'll be a head coach someday. So why let him get away?
Dirk Koetter, Falcons offensive coordinator. Their offense needs pizzazz, and that's Koetter's specialty.
Kelly. He would have to make adjustments for his offense to work in the NFL. But having a quarterback like Philip Rivers would help make the offense go.
Reid. Once he gets the axe in Philly, his work with quarterbacks is highly regarded and he could get a fresh start out West. "The Chargers need somebody who can get Rivers' attention and maximize the backside of his career," said another former NFL general manager.
Vic Fangio, 49ers defensive coordinator. This is a tough guess, with a new G.M likely coming as well. But Fangio's work is well-respected and the Chiefs have young defensive talent.
Mike Zimmer, Bengals defensive coordinator. No reason why his fine work on the defensive side in Cincinnati could not translate to the Chiefs.
Mike Holmgren, former Packers and Seahawks coach. Garrett likely isn't going anywhere unless the Cowboys collapse during the final three weeks. If that happens, Jerry Jones might be forced to make a move for a big name.
Sean Payton, Saints suspended coach. A rumor that was hot a month ago, but I see Payton returning to Saints.
Fewell. He knows the NFC East and the Eagles' defense is a mess.
Kelly. His name keeps coming up when you talk to people in the league about this spot. Their young weapons on offense would likely intrigue him.
Arians. Another tough call, because it probably depends on whether Gene Smith stays as general manager. But Arians is QB-friendly and knows the AFC South.
Rob Chudzinski, Panthers offensive coordinator. Chudzinski also has a good rep for working with young quarterbacks.
Fewell. He almost got this job before they hired Rivera.
Kyle Shanahan, Redskins offensive coordinator. Maybe he's not ready to be a head coach yet. But his work with Robert Griffin III raises possibilities for what Cam Newton could do in a similar offense.
Dom Capers, Packers defensive coordinator. I think it would be a mistake to fire Allen after one season. But if it happen, Capers has been a head coach before, and has ties to general manager Reggie McKenzie.
McCoy. The Raiders hired Allen away from the Broncos. Why not pluck another potential head coach off the staff of their AFC West rival?
Jay Gruden, Bengals offensive coordinator. You will probably hear plenty of Jon Gruden coaching rumors, but his brother could be the family member who becomes a head coach next.
Koetter. He might be viewed as the right coach to develop Jake Locker.
