Been toying with the idea of another power amp or going down the active speakers route for quite some time now. The problem with both those moves is you almost have to burn your bridges in the process as auditioning down my neck of the woods isn't easy so I have to buy virtually blind, although the actual "cost to change" (as they say in the motor trade) isn't huge but sellingthe oldcomponent before the new one is acquired isn't always that easy or desirable either as it's so easy to get it wrong. I digress . . . . . .
I decided this time around to buy a cheap power amp as an interim stopgap while I look out for another onefor my main system. Searching through the used kit in the classifiedsI came across an amp called the Chameleon Ruby. Having never seen or heard of one before I asked for pictures and specs from the seller. He said it has it's design origins in recording studios and is able to compete very well with so-called high end domestic audiophile kit, so he bought it after a dealer demo against Krell and Mark Levinson amps and it certainly impressed him enough to buy it.
The first obvious thing that hits you is how slim it is at just about two inches tall. The two outer divisions in the casework are in fact 'V' shaped heatsinks so the amp itself is actually quite small.
Rated at 200 watts per channel minimum into 8 ohms with a damping factor of 500 @ 50hz and 8 ohms it promised to have plenty of grip on the bass registers and I'll expand on this in a moment. It has the choice between balanced and single ended inputs with just one set of binding posts so biwiring isn't an option. The front panel has just one control, an on/off swith with an indicator LED that's very low light level indeed, so at a distance it's barely visible, but on the plus side it isn't intrusive either. At the other end of the sloped extruded aluminium front panel that's more gunmetal colour than silveris two pairs of LED's which signify when a signal input is present (?) and another pair of LED's to show when the amp is about to run out of steam. The signal input LED's are about as much use as a spaghetti towrope to be honest and the wick needs to be turned up pretty high before they illuminate and when they do they are rather distracting flickering away to the music.
This is the very first solid state amplifier I have heard that actually manages to 'do' mid and treble the way it should be. It is incredibly detailed and clear so the sound just hangs in space with no distortion artifacts at all. Cymbal crashes have a superb crisp metallic sheen that's far easier to appreciate with the ears than to describe in words. Other esoteric amps I've heard arealways borderingon the threshold of rendering the treble into splashy harshness and the recording quality becomes a critical issue during listening, yet the Ruby neatly dances with treble the same way a goodKT88 valve power amp does. Midband too has no fog, aura, chestiness or nasality whatsoever, so female vocals are reproduced with supreme naturalness and timbre. Bass is what this amp does vey well with a tenacious grip at all times so bass notes start and particularly stop, as if it's thrown an anchor over the side onto the speakerbass cones. When the music gets complex and loud the Ruby shrugs it off, keeping all instruments exactly where they should be and doesn't suffer the masking effects on quieter sounds that the louder sounds and dynamics can crush beneath their weight, or reduce to a background blur by drowning as most other amps do when the noises get loud. Imaging is pinpoint accurate with no wavering, but if I must criticise anywhere it's the lack of generous (although it is there) front to back depth and height that I notice in my small listening room, but at least it isn't projecting it out into the room either so you don't feel pinned against the back wall as you would a forward sounding or aggressive amp.
My current PS Audio HCA-2 power amp sounds positively lethargic by comparison and I never regarded it as such at all before I heard what the Chameleon Ruby could do. The jury is still out just the same if it's going to be a 'keeper'as I'm going to live with it for a week or so then revert back to the PS Audio to see if it's a sound I'm going to want to live with permanently, especially when I move houseand have a new listening environment to settle into. I also want to put the Ruby head to head with anotherexotic ampto see where this thing actually positions itself with regard to the competition at considerably more money. Krell killer? Maybe yes, maybe no, although the previous owner was spot on word for word so far when he described what this amp was capable of delivering and I don't doubt it for one minute.
I couldn't establish whether Chameleon are still trading or not from an internet search. I bought mine secondhand of course off Hi-Fi For Sale for the princly sum of £375.00 and at that price it's a positive steal considering the fantastic effortless sound it produces.
I get a lot of personal pleasure when I dare to step off the beaten track of buying well known brands to venture off into slightly"off the wall" products thatcome up trumps with real money savings and great sounds into the bargain.

An officer is an a corporation official usually elected by the board of directors and authorized to sign legally binding contracts for the corporation.
Expanded Definition
The authority to sign legally binding contracts is called agency. The old maxim, "I never sign what I write; I never write what I sign," applies. Most corporations have policy manuals that spell out what documents an officer of a given rank is permitted to sign, and with whose approval. Often they must be reviewed by the legal department.
Officers have the ability to designate others in the organization who are authorized to sign contracts of specified types and within specified limits. They often have the word "agent" in the title. For example, a purchasing agent or a shipping agent.
Executives usually are officers. In some states, the names of officers of the corporation must be reported to the Secretary of State for filing with the corporations articles of incorporation.

James Ihedigbo pled the Fifth when asked if he was a Patriots [team stats] fan while growing up in Amherst.
While Ihedigbo may have rooted for the home team when he was younger, he doesn't have warm and fuzzy feelings for the Patriots anymore.
"Those days are long gone," said Ihedigbo, whose attitude changed when he signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2007.
The special teams stalwart and safety will face the Patriots this afternoon in the AFC divisional round. Ihedigbo is listed as questionable with ankle and knee injuries, but earlier in the week he was confident he would play.
Coming out of Amherst Regional High with a low profile, it seemed unlikely Ihedigbo would ever find himself in the NFL. But after steady improvement at UMass, the 6-foot-1, 214-pounder emerged as an All-American his senior year. As the Minutemen made a run to the national championship game, which they lost 28-17 to Appalachian State, Ihedigbo began to draw NFL interest.
"My senior year I was playing at such a high level that scouts were coming to see me play," Ihedigbo said. "I knew the opportunity was there, but I was more focused on winning than playing at the next level."
Ihedigbo was invited to the Jets rookie minicamp, where he impressed enough to stick around for training camp. But the odds were stacked against him making the team.
"You come in as a rookie and you're one of seven safeties, and a team naturally only keeps four," Ihedigbo said. "You can kind of be like, 'Gee, what day am I getting cut.' I didn't think like that. I was grinding. I was going to outwork everybody."
Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum, a fellow UMass alum, told Ihedigbo his ticket to staying in the NFL was on special teams. Ihedigbo attached himself to longtime special teams coach Mike Westhoff and has thrived in the role.
"I was always meeting with him, always learning, always learning from the veterans," Ihedigbo said. "I knew my niche was to be on special teams, but I didn't just want to be on special teams -- I wanted to dominate and own that facet of the game, which I'm coming into my own of doing."
Now in his fourth season, Ihedigbo has seen more action at safety. He had 22 tackles and three sacks this season, and his hard-hitting style has endeared him to coach Rex Ryan.
"Tough as nails guy," Ryan said of Ihedigbo. "I know he's respected through the league with the kind of special teams performer he is for sure, and he's always a guy that's excited. He's a tough, physical-type player. He dishes out big hits almost every game, so we're proud that he's on our team."
Now that Ihedigbo has solidified his spot in the NFL, he has no intention of letting up.
"Every opportunity I had to work and prove myself, I was going to do that," Ihedigbo said. "Through perseverance and hard work I'm still here."

Motorcyclist seriously injured in crash on Interstate 5 in Oceanside
OCEANSIDE - A 21-year-old motorcyclist from Camp Pendleton suffered major injuries when he struck the back of a car, slid under a big rig and his legs became pinned under the trailer, a California Highway Patrol sergeant said Sunday.
The crash was reported at 8 p.m. Saturday on southbound Interstate 5 north of Cassidy Street, said Sgt. M. Kelley.
The crash occurred when the motorcyclist was "splitting traffic" between the two left lanes at 60 to 75 mph while traffic was congested and moving at 30 to 50 mph, Kelley said.
The driver of a 2005 Toyota Corolla checked her mirror and saw the center lane was clear, so she began to move from the far left to the center lane and the motorcyclist collided into the back of her car, the sergeant said.
The motorcyclist then traveled to the right and went underneath the back of the 2009 Kenworth tractor-trailer's trailer, Kelley said.
When the truck driver "felt his vehicle shaking he stopped and looked into his left side mirror" and saw the motorcyclist's "helmet sticking out from the left rear axle area of his trailer," the sergeant said.
The left forward axle of the trailer came to rest on top of the motorcyclist's legs, Kelley said. The motorcycle was entangled in the rear axle of the trailer.
Officers say the truck dragged the motorcyclist for more than 100 feet before coming to rest, trapping him for about 10 minutes until rescuers arrived.
Kelley said firefighters used special equipment to free the motorcyclist from the trailer and he was airlifted to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla.
"The fire department did an outstanding job," said CHP Officer Chris Parent. "They were here quickly. They were able to get airbags underneath the axle and the tires and were able to free him from the big rig."
Traffic was backed up for more than two hours as police shut down two lanes while they gathered clues.
"Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in this collision," the sergeant said.
The 25-year-old Toyota driver and the 44-year-old big rig driver were both from San Diego, Kelley said.

Just a quick update--I'm about half way through chapter 15, and I get a week off around Christmas and I've got no money so I'm sure to spend most of my time drawing. The rest of my time will be spent training my dog, and if you're interested I've been keeping a blog about him, training, and any other interesting stuff about dogs I can think of. I've been pretty dedicated to maintaining it so far, and I've got lots of stuff planned, so if you like dogs, like mutts, border collies, agility, or positive reinforcement, I think you'll enjoy it.

The coyote appears often in the tales and traditions of Native Americans—usually as a very savvy and clever beast. Modern coyotes have displayed their cleverness by adapting to the changing American landscape. These members of the dog family once lived primarily in open prairies and deserts, but now roam the continent's forests and mountains. They have even colonized cities like Los Angeles, and are now found over most of North America. Coyote populations are likely at an all-time high.
These adaptable animals will eat almost anything. They hunt rabbits, rodents, fish, frogs, and even deer. They also happily dine on insects, snakes, fruit, grass, and carrion. Because they sometimes kill lambs, calves, or other livestock, as well as pets, many ranchers and farmers regard them as destructive pests. Coyotes are formidable in the field where they enjoy keen vision and a strong sense of smell. They can run up to 40 miles (64 kilometers) an hour. In the fall and winter, they form packs for more effective hunting.
Coyotes form strong family groups. In spring, females den and give birth to litters of three to twelve pups. Both parents feed and protect their young and their territory. The pups are able to hunt on their own by the following fall. Coyotes are smaller than wolves and are sometimes called prairie wolves or brush wolves. They communicate with a distinctive call, which at night often develops into a raucous canine chorus.
Coyotes are very good swimmers. In areas of the northeast United States, where coyotes have migrated since the 20th century, the animals have colonized the Elizabeth Islands of Massachusetts. Despite being extensively hunted, the coyote is one of the few medium- to large-sized animals that has enlarged its range since human encroachment began. It originally ranged primarily in the western half of North America, but it has adapted readily to the changes caused by human presence and, since the early 19th century, has been steadily extending its range.

Dear Brittani,
I'm 22 years old, 5'2" tall and I weigh about 172lbs. I have been trying to get back in the dating scene but feel like my weight is a huge obstacle to finding the man of my dreams. All of my friends look like they just walked off a runway and when we go out I feel like the short pig that's being ignored. What should I do?

First things first, unless you feel good about yourself, you'll never find the perfect man. Men can tell when a woman is insecure and it is unattractive. So before you start to concern yourself with improving your exterior, you need to become comfortable with yourself as you are and love yourself. Once you do that the confidence that you feel will shine through and the man of your dreams will be drawn to your inner beauty allowing the physical to be secondary. If you want to loose weight you need to do it for yourself and not to find a man. Check out Urban Active Fitness Center. There are six locations in the Columbus area, each location offering group fitness classes like Yoga, Pilates, and Zumba, at no additional cost and personal training plans with prices and schedules that fit most all lifestyles. I personally have been working out with Urban Active for about a month and am proud to say I've shed 12 pounds! The staff is amazing and the people who work out there are more concerned with getting their workout in then they are with judging you. You can visit them online at www.urbanactive.com and find the location closest to you. Give them a call or stop in to take a look at the club to find out if it's right for you. Good luck!
As the summer nears, many women (and men) are looking to take off their winter weight. While being healthy and physically fit is very important, it is more important to have a healthy self image and self-esteem. If you are a woman thinking of loosing some pounds, you want to be sure that you are in control of your weight loss plan and that you are choosing to loose weight for yourself. Columbus offers many fitness centers in the city and surrounding areas, but I recommend looking at fitness groups such as Curves and Weight Watchers if your weight loss initiative is fueled by low self esteem. These organizations offer not only a facility to work out, but group support and specialized attention for weight loss specialists and trainers that can help you work on your self image while changing it. Visit www.curves.com for more information on Curves or www.weightwatchers.com for more information on Weight Watchers. You can also visit www.directionscounseling.com/eatingdisorder.htm to find out about counseling options available in Columbus for people with eating disorders, weight loss, and body image perception.

Dubbed the "Hollywood Heroin Bust," a joint police task force has dismantled what they called a major drug distribution ring that was allegedly running highly-potent heroin from Harlem to the Hamptons, Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said Wednesday.
At a Feb. 19 news conference in Riverhead, Spota said the nine arrests culminated a year-long investigation that included undercover detectives, informants and wire taps, as investigators probed the ring that allegedly trafficked drugs from East Harlem to the eastern tip of Long Island.
Six of the men arrested are accused of pushing the drugs on the street and selling the heroin to "addicts" in parking lots of Riverhead businesses, Spota said. They are: Leroy Langhorne, 41, or Riverside; Joseph Thomas, 41, of Mastic; Robert Baker, 46, of Riverhead; Jerome Trent, 58, of Riverhead; Farrow Sims, 42, of Calverton; and Leon Langhorne, 38, of Riverhead.
The crew, prosecutors allege, was responsible for distributing the "premium" heroin. They allegedly packaged the drugs into .03 gram increments and filled glassine envelopes that were stamped with the word "Hollywood."
"There is no Hollywood ending to this particular case," Spota said. "For the dealers, prison awaits them. For the addicts, if they're lucky, years of drug rehabilitation. No glitz, no glamour, certainly no fame."
During multiple searches in Riverhead, investigators seized more than 2,000 of the small bags that were being sold on the street for about $20 each, the DA said.
Detectives believe the crew was buying the heroin from three men in East Harlem. The men – 65-year-old Jose Calvente, 75-year-old Jose Morales and 52-year-old Carlos Ramos – were also charged as part of the massive drug bust. Spota said all three have a history of drug-related criminal charges, including multiple felony convictions.
"As soon as they get out of jail, they're right back in business again," Spota said. "Every single one of them knows nothing but selling drugs."
In addition to recovering the bags of heroin, detectives also seized thousands of dollars in cash and drugs, a shotgun, a rifle, several cell phone and two cars, including a brand new Infiniti that Leon Langhorne allegedly bought with cash just a few days before his arrest.
A district attorney's office spokesman said all nine men have already been arraigned.

Max Buckley
April 24, 2012
TEXARKANA, Ark. (SMU) - Day three of the Conference USA Championships again saw Max Buckley continue to the lead No. 40 SMU at the Texarkana Golf Club. Coming off of medalist honors a week ago, the senior produced a 3-under par for the round, finishing at 7-under (68-71-69=209), tied for second place. The Mustangs concluded the tournament tied for fourth place with No. 33 UAB at 9-over par.
No. 41 Memphis won the tournament with a 5-under par, two strokes ahead of No. 22 UCF.
Starting the day in fifth place, Buckley began making birdies when they mattered--the back nine of the final round. Even par through nine holes, the senior sank three birdies within his first four holes on the back nine to get to 2-under on the day. After another on No. 17, he found himself one shot back when he entered the clubhouse.
Despite a bogey by Memphis' Jack Belote on No. 16 to drop back into a tie with Buckley, UCF sophomore Greg Eason, who began the day in first, picked up birdies on No. 16 and No. 17 to pass the two and claim top honors. The finish was Buckley's third top-five finish of the season and third top-10 result in his last five tournaments. The senior was tied for the most birdies in the tournament (15), while also coming up with one eagle.
"I'm very proud of Max for what he has done the past two weeks," said SMU head coach Josh Gregory. "He is really coming into his own and showing that he is one of the best players in the country."
With an even par (72), Marc Sambol finished his final appearance in the C-USA Championship tied for 24th place at 6-over par. One back of the senior was Harry Higgs Higgs who ended his day at 1-over par. The sophomore finished tied for 27th. Also finishing in the top 35 was Matt Schovee, who took 33rd at 8-over.
Even with a tough first round, Brooks Price scored for the second day in a row in for the Mustangs, carding a 3-over, 75.
"Overall, we played fairly well, just had a poor second round that took us out of contention," Gregory said. "You just can't shoot 300 and win. That said, it was another solid top-five finish, giving us 10 out of 14 on the year which I am very proud of.
"We now get a break and a chance to rest and prepare for NCAA regionals. We have been on the road all spring with nine events. To play that consistent is a credit to these guys."
The NCAA will announce the regional tournaments on May 7.

Have the children gone to bed?ReplyDelete
The rotation of the hips in the first portrait lends very elegant relief to the crotch, if one may say so; but I have to admit that the litheness of the legs in the second portrait is just cruelly convincing. I usually make it a practice to avoid blue eyes in this hair colour, because of a chill and distance we never see when the eyes are brown, coupled with the infallibly more opulent skin of that genetic stripe. Rarely, then, but impressively, the greater paleness and tendency toward reddening in sun of the blue-eyed blond can make up for his aloofness and austerity with just enough incentive, to endure these attributes. I think he's prettier 'n one has any right to expect in this second picture, and I am completely subscribed to his suggestion in the first. From my point of view, further, this is a radiantly satisfactory body. I would hate to see it amassed.
Not that anybody asked :)

Hear from youth who have been there, done that and have the stories to prove it. Teachers/organizers and parents/guardians share their experiences here too.
"This exchange has been a great opportunity to meet new people and learn about other places in the country. It has given lasting friendships and been very enjoyable."
"Meeting new people was really great because you get to see how your differences can actually bring you together. Trying new things was also an amazing part of this exchange because it made it an incredible learning experience and gave me many stories to tell! Seeing different places in their town as well as our own. It was interesting because we learned a lot about the history of where we live."
"I learned a lot more in one week of activities at Forum than I have in 3 years of Social Studies. Also I gained the friendships of many students from across Canada, which is very valuable to me!"
"I was able to learn so much about the different people that make up our country. Most of my learning came from the participants... The main reason I believe this program is so important is because it has given us a sense of unity. We have all been able to work together despite our differences and have learned the importance of diversity in our country."
"[This experience] opened his eyes to the multicultural side of Canada. He feels connected to the other side of Canada."
"My daughter was so enthusiastic to come across a different home situation, different culture and a new language. I am proud of the way she embraced the opportunity to meet new people, participate in social activities and learn about Montreal."
"My son's participation in the exchange allowed him to see another aspect of education - not always in the classroom... My son has much greater interest in culture and in Canada."
"The forum has been a life-altering experience for my child. She has said that it was one of the best experiences of her life, and she is so glad she was given the opportunity to attend. She came home a 'different person' - full of confidence; very happy and it was as though she had completed her first step towards independence."
"I feel these young students have learned how to work together on projects. They have gained pride in their culture by studying it and sharing it with others. They have learned to appreciate differences in culture. "
"We the teachers both from Manitoba and Quebec benefited from the program's ability to unite two distinct groups and make them understand each other's differences while realizing we are all part of the same nation. It gives me a true sense of pride to be Canadian..."
"The youth deepened their commitment to Canada, and I believe they strongly felt the importance of being involved in their community."

MERCER SCHOOL students pose with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker at Superior Days in Madison, Wis., in February. Pictured are, from left; John Michael Klopatek, Lucas Huybrecht, Walker, Kassie Wiedower and Skady Fuchs.
MERCER, Wis. - Four Mercer School students attended the Superior Days conference Feb. 18-19 in Madison to lobby with other students and adults, a news release said.
Superior Days is a community-based effort to bring important issues from northwestern Wisconsin to the attention of state legislators, according to the Superior Days website.
Before meeting with legislators, students learned about the issue they would discuss in Madison, how to properly shake hands and speak to adults, and how to speak up for themselves and be heard with representatives, Mercer teacher Debbie Hohner said.
"While in Madison, our students spoke to our legislators about two topics related to economic development of the north and western region of Wisconsin," Hohner said. "The issues that our students spoke about were funding for making U.S. 2 a four-lane highway and a differently funded and equitable 911 service throughout the state."
Attendees were also able to job shadow in the capitol or tour the University of Wisconsin campus. "The kids really enjoyed the opportunity to see firsthand one of their options for college," Hohner said.
"The students would like to thank the Iron County Development Committee and the Mercer School for funding this incredible opportunity to not only experience our government in action, but also to represent Iron County," Hohner said.

|Arnold Diffusion via Invariant Cylinders and Mather Variational Method
|Center for Dynamics and Geometry Seminars
|Vadim Kaloshin, University of Maryland TWO HOUR TALK
|The famous ergodic hypothesis claims that a typical Hamiltonian dynamics on a typical energy surface is ergodic. However, KAM theory disproves this. It establishes a persistent set of positive measure of invariant KAM tori. The (weaker) quasi-ergodic hypothesis, proposed by Ehrenfest and Birkhoff, says that a typical Hamiltonian dynamics on a typical energy surface has a dense orbit. This question is wide open. In early 60th Arnold constructed an example of instabilities for a nearly integrable Hamiltonian of dimension $n>2$ and conjectured that this is a generic phenomenon, nowadays, called Arnold diffusion. In the last two decades a variety of powerful techniques to attack this problem were developed. In particular, Mather discovered a large class of invariant sets and a delicate variational technique to shadow them. In a series of preprints: one joint with P. Bernard, K. Zhang and two with K. Zhang we prove Arnold's conjecture in dimension $n=3$.

The trailers for the film are compelling. Perhaps that is why it has been nominated for the Golden Trailer Award. And there is no denying the thoroughly stunning beauty of its female lead Charlize Theron. It also quickly became clear to me that much of the film was shot in Monument Valley, one of God's most spectacular works of natural art in America's southwest. But when all is said and done "A Million Ways to Die in the West" while entertaining and funny does come up just a wee bit short.
The story is written by Seth MacFarlane with Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild, directed by Seth MacFarlane and produced by Seth MacFarlane along with Jason Clark and Scott Stuber. Therefore it would be fair to call "A Million Ways to Die in the West" a Seth MacFarlane film all the way.
The story is of a clearly out of place rather wimpy sheep farmer and his new found love, the wife of the most infamous gun slinger in the west. One of the key elements throughout the film is the idea that the Old West was one extremely dangerous place and time. We see photographers blow up, an ice delivery man crushed and a medicine man trampled by a raging bull. These sight gags are perfectly executed and absolutely hilarious.
My only objection Seth is why in your mind is it necessary to the story or to the humor to have such a wide use of foul language and occasionally an uncomfortable degree of sexual innuendo? The content as presented earned the film a solid R rating. With just a little bit of effort on polishing the content MacFarlane could have produced an even funnier film and reached a broader audience.
All that said and subject to the admonishments "A Million Ways to Die in the West" Is indeed funny and entertaining a decent summer popcorn movie.

The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote NEXT WEEK on a harmful alternative bill for Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) reauthorization, the Cantor-Adams bill (HR 4970). Please contact your Congressman and urge him to vote NO on HR 4970! Ask him to, instead, support a bill like the bipartisan Senate Bill (S.1925) that protects vulnerable communities and does not add additional bureaucratic barriers to victim service providers.
You can find the name and contact information for your Representative by clicking here.
HR 4970 is harmful to victims because it:
For a detailed fact sheet, click HERE. **NEW**
Based on the false notion that victim services providers are wasteful with VAWA funds, HR 4970 also burdens VAWA grant recipients with unworkable and excessive audit and oversight requirements on top of the already stringent requirements that exist in the law as it is. This will divert precious grant dollars and time from direct services to victims.
The additional oversight and audit provisions in HR 4970 have been championed by so-called "men's rights" groups, such as SAVE, as a way to slowly chip away at VAWA and the life-saving services it provides. SAVE purports that VAWA grant recipients engage in widespread fraud and waste of government funding. This group also actively seeks to undermine the work of victim advocates by spreading misinformation about the rate of false allegations of domestic violence and sexual assault, declaring June as "False Allegations Awareness Month."
For more detailed information about HR 4970, please visit http://4vawa.org.
Please take just a few minutes to call or email your Congressman to urge him to oppose HR 4970. Many Congressmen, unaware of the impact that these dangerous bill provisions would have, are poised to vote in favor of this terrible bill. It is up to advocates and concerned citizens to educate them about the very real harm that HR 4970 could do!
Thank you for your continued advocacy!!!

IMPORTANT NOTE ON INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (IPR): The U.S. Commercial Service in Germany is proactively engaged in defending American companies against counterfeit and copyright infringement. IPR is an important part of corporate value and international competitiveness. U.S. trademark, design and patent rights do not of themselves provide protection in Germany or the rest of the European Union (EU); U.S. companies must protect their IPR here in Europe. It is possible to register in countries individually or, for EU-wide trademark and design protection, there are a Community Trademark (CTM) and Registered Community Design (RCD). These provide a single right that protects industrial design or trademark in the entire 25-nation EU mega-market of 450 million people. Both national trademarks and the CTM can be registered through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The U.S. Commercial Service can provide information on EU-wide protection for IPR and defend IPR in Europe at trade fairs.

Arizona Head Coach Joan Bonvicini: "Today we played a team game. We were unselfish and we had good passing."
"Polkey almost had a triple double. And we purposely kept her minutes down."
"We've been really struggling to play through the second half. We wanted to keep the intensity up and play hard. It was a good win for us."
"When we play hard and we really put a lot of pressure on the other team, we're very, very good. I thought our rebounding was better in the second half, too."
"We just want to continue to get better. I thought initially we didn't do a good job on transition defense, but after we got ourselves established, we did a pretty good job."
"We have a lot of quick players. We're getting out and going, and it puts a lot of pressure on the other team."
"Tomorrow is going to be a good game. Weber State does a good job of shooting, boxing out and rebounding. Weber State executes well, and they can get it done down low, too. We'll defend them by getting out and pressuring them and getting through screens."
Senior Guard Dee-Dee Wheeler: "We want to keep our home win streak going. We don't want to lose at home. We don't want to lose on the road, either, but we want to make McKale one of the hardest places to play in the country."
"We did a good job taking care of the ball. (UNCG) didn't really pressure us very well."
"Tonight is probably the first night we've played a 40-minute game. Everybody stayed up. Everybody did a good job. We have to continue playing that way."
"Tonight was an opportunity for our post players to show what they can do."
"We had great passes. It starts on the defensive end. We force bad shots, we get the rebound and we go. We played really unselfish tonight."
"We're the type of team that gives every team respect, even if we're winning by 50 points."
"Weber State is a good shooting team. They've got some streaky shooters, but once they get hot, they hit a lot of shots."
Freshman Guard Ashley Whisonant:
"Tonight I stepped up and played harder than usual. I played hard earlier in the season, but I got in a slump and I came back tonight."
"In the second half I just couldn't focus on making lay-ups, but we kept the pressure on."
"We know how to step up in big games and we just have to rely on the team."
"Today we showed that we can play a 40-minute game, which was the first time. Normally, we play about a 25-minute game."
"Coach (Bonvicini) told me she wants me to be a spark off the bench, so that's what I'm going to do."

We all know there are distance functions, like Kullback Leibler distance, Bhattacharyya measure, Euclidean distance, Wasserstein distance, and so on. Take a sample distance: $D=\sum\limits_n\left|P_n\left(\text{model}\right)-P_n\left(\text{sample}\right)\right|$. Specifically, if we have a model distribution (probability density function)$P\left(\text{model}\right)=[0.2,0.8]$, $n=2$, we want to calculate the distance between every sample distribution and this model distribution. If sample distribution is $P\left(\text{sample}1\right)=[0.3,0.7]$. Then $D=\left|0.3-0.2\right|+\left|0.7-0.8\right|=0.2$. But I do not think it is a good distance measure since I think $0.8$ and $0.7$ are more similar than $0.2$ and $0.3$. What I mean is in model distribution, one component is 0.8, another is 0.2, same difference $a$ has more influence in 0.2 since 0.8 is quite big than 0.2. So the weight of components are different. How should I incorporate weight into distance equation? I try to make a equation , like $D=\sum\limits_n\frac{\left|P_n\left(\text{model}\right)-P_n\left(\text{sample}\right)\right|}{P_n\left(\text{model}\right)}$, But it seems to be wrong.

My son and I just visited your Center on August 11. I was enamoured and WOWed. My son who is 9 has taken an extreme liking to parrots after the movie Rio came out. I decided to visit your center and get to meet some Real McCaws. I thought I would be taking pictures, we would spend an hour and carry on along our merry way. What I wasn't expecting was to fall in love with the Cockatoos (I think that is what they are called). Their character and and affection was unbelievable. They have forever imprinted on my heart. I could have spent an entire day there getting to know each of them and their personalities. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job in taking care of these wonderful birds.
From a 'tourist'perspective, it would have been nice to have some form of interaction with the people that know the birds, their stories and how to or not handle them. There were a number of us that were bit with blood drawn, mosty due to total inexperience with birds. But I also know that you are mostly a volunteer facility, so understand the limits.
Thanks again, you have allowed me to open my eyes to a whole new world that I never really knew existed.

Have not been here since I purchased my macaw cage from Wendy some years ago but on reading here wanted to wish her the best and a full recovery.
Hello my name is Timmy Malay I surrendered my severe macaw on Sept 16 2011 his name is Cocoa i know it only has been 24 hours but I am hoping and praying he is doing good at your facilities ….. he was through a lot from a hernia operation to internal warts and he had atrophy which took me 7 years of owning him for him to gain control of his feet ….. the toys in his cage are his favorite including that small green chew toy that is in a shape of a ball ……. he speaks when he gets use to you he says night night when you turn out the lights he will say his name and he will say hello ………..
I barely slept last night thinking that i failed him in some way , he was like a child to me because i have no kids and he was with me through thick and thin of my life he always said hi to me and made me feel so happy knowing he would talk to me when i felt down ..
He is very afraid of new things and he will bathe in his water bowl but is very scared of people spraying him with water …… I do believe he was wild caught when he was a baby …. he is a great personality and he loves attention ….. and he loves all fruit and nuts his regular food like nuts he will only eat natural seeds nothing seasoned of flavored .
I miss him so much but i know he is in a great place with you for the rest of his life ….. please get back to me and tell me how he is doing …… if you are having a problem with him let me know and i will come up and help you with him …. please watch him that he doesnt start plucking he will do that if he gets stressed out …. i wish him all the best and i want to come up to see him but i know i should allow him to get use to his new environment my phone number is 250-294-2223 i look forward in hearing some communication about Cocoa soon ……
Thank you for your help ….. Timmy
Hello I am wondering how Cocoa is he is a severe macaw I dropped him off about a month ago …. I hope he isnt plucking and he is settling in to his new home …. He is on my mind everyday and i am praying he is doing great …… i look forward in hearing from you thank you for everything
Hi Timmy, I hope the WPR has been able to keep you up to date on Cocoa. I know I used to email Wendy and she could give me information on my Mom's amazon. Due to Wendy's fight, I don't bother right now. You can join them on facebook and sometimes when people go, they will ask if people want pics and can update you. Maybe Cheryl can give you a hand on FB. As well, I know that they have to spend a lot of time seeking funding due to Gov't of BC removing theirs. I feel for ya buddy as, I have CAG that will be 19 this year and has been through a huge amount with me. All the best!! I'll be praying that Cocoa has found a flock to be a member of.
I am wondering how Keiko the Moluccan Cockatoo is. I haven't heard anything about her since I've given her up. I've meant to come to Nanaimo to visit her but It hasn't worked out!
If anyone knows her and how she is doing let me know!
Thank you so much for your generous care, i think about her daily and it makes me happy to know she's in good care.
Hi Lawrence, please look at my posting for Timmy about a possible way of getting an update.
I was wondering if Darwin the Moluccan Cockatoo is doing any of the paintings. I would love to buy one of his.
I thinking about moving to Maple Ridge B.C. I have a 10 year old blue/gold. Wonder how I can move my special little girl in a safe matter.. Can anyone help me out. PLEASE ? Dean
I have I closed big bag and half a big bag of parrot food I no longer need. It is Zupreem Fruit blend for medium birds. If your interested in having it I'm willing to come drop it off and donate it for your parrots. Let me know. Thanks.
Hi Tiffany,
We very much appreciate any donations of food for the birds. If you still have your fruit blend please feel free to drop it off at our Thrift Shop.
Thank You So Much – from all the Birds!
I remember visiting your wonderful facility many years ago with my two young sons. I personally was in my glory,and almost dragged out as I really did not want to leave. It warms my heart in so many ways to know there are some people out there that feel the way I do about these beautiful little beings. I have my own Umbrella Cockatoo he is now 19 and could not imagine my life without him. I am right now getting ready to move back to the island from Ont.and cannot wait to visit again maybe even have the privilege of working for my feathered friends. I have mucked horse stalls in the past ,hard work ,but the payoff of working with the horses was to say the least amazing. Thank You for taking such good care of all those sweet creatures!
Visited your facility and was happy that our feathered friends are well cared for and have new home for life.
I have been asked to look after a parrot for a couple of weeks…..
And need to know what is a appropriate daily charge for taking care of the
bird in my place?
If you can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it and any advice
you can give me.
This is an amazing facility for parrots a much needs hug is given to wendy and her team on the fantastic job they do of caring for all these birds.
Anyone reading and looking to surrender their parrot, I can assure you this is the place to consider.
Regards to all staff and parrots.
Jordan Tyer.
I have 2 birds, a touis celeste and a touis catherine. I can no longer take care of them. I live in Montreal and I was very impressed by your installations.
I was wondering if its possible for you to take them and what are the costs. Could we send them by air if you would accept to take them?
I don't want to sell them because I know they will end up in another family that will sell them again after few years.
I hope you can help us. The touis celest was in a family that mistreated him. When we got him he was puling off all his fethers. We have him since 2 years and all his feathers came back. He still is scared of our hands but come on our shoulders. I really don't want him to change family again and again. I really hope you can help us.
Best regards,
Helene Major
Hi, I've visited the refuge a few times since August 2013 and so far, I've managed to get up to volunteer just once. I live in Victoria and I'm a full time student, so finding time to volunteer doesn't always work, although I plan to come up at least one Saturday a month. The last few times I was there I took some video footage and put together a little montage. Here is the link.
I look forward to the next time I can come volunteer and spend time with these wonderful birds :)
Hi. I am MOM to 6 parrots and 1 homing pigeon, and when my son was in BC he visited your place and really enjoyed it. He was saying something about possibly me being or forming a satellite "office" I live in Northern Ontario and am known as the crazy bird lady. I have an African Grey who had 10 owners before he came here which is his final and forever home. He was badly abused by 9 of the 10 owners, and it took me a good 5 years to get him calmed and tamed down and he is now MOMMAS SWEETHEART and has been for 8 years as he has been here for 13 years. I do admit I don't know everything about parrots, but do know how to give them a forever and loving home. So could you send me some information on what it was that Bryan was talking about???? Or am I right out to lunch?????? LOL. Thanking you in advance. Barbara Smith

LA QUINTA, Calif. – No. 17 Washington made the charge it hoped for during Wednesday's final round at the Prestige at PGA West, but came up just short, settling for second place, two strokes back of Stanford. The Dawgs shot the best round of the tournament, a 14-under 270, finishing at 19-under for the week.
Washington trailed by 14 strokes coming into the final round and nearly made up the entire margin thanks to some low scores, particularly from Trevor Simsby and Gerrit Chambers.
"It was an awesome day," said head coach Matt Thurmond. "We were very clear with the guys that we were not playing for second today. We were playing to win. We knew it would be tough to catch Stanford, but we wanted at minimum, to make them really earn it. I think we accomplished that today."
Simsby shot a collegiate-best round of 64, making eight birdies and just one bogey. He shot up the leaderboard to finish in a tie for fourth at 6-under for the week. The senior birdied five of the first seven holes, before his lone bogey on number nine. Still, Simsby fired a 31 on the front and then backed it up with a bogey-free 33 on the back to get within three strokes of the overall lead after entering the day 10 back.
Chambers was also outstanding, firing his second-consecutive round of 5-under 66. The senior finished in third place for the tournament at 7-under, two back of individual medalist, Patrick Rodgers of Stanford. Chambers made six birdies and just one bogey as he tied his day-old career best.
"It's amazing to see how Gerrit is improving and competing," said Thurmond. "Back to back 66's is just exceptional."
The other Husky in the top-10 was Corey Pereira who finished 4-under and tied for seventh after a round of 70. The freshman who was the last player out for the Dawgs birdied the last two holes to make things particularly interesting for Stanford in the team competition. Pereira was the lone Husky and one of just three in the tournament to play all three rounds under par.
The fourth scoring golfer for UW on Wednesday was Chris Babcock who finished with a round of 1-under 70. Babcock completed another steady tournament tied for 12th at 2-under.
"Corey and Babcock were so steady," said Thurmond. "I'm really happy to see how these guys are growing and improving."
Cheng-Tsung Pan finished his week with a round of 3-over 74 to finish tied for 48th at 6-over. It was a testament to his teammates that the Dawgs finished as high as they did without one of the top amateurs in the world at his best.
Washington will now get a bit of a break before continuing the spring schedule in Bandon Dunes beginning, Sunday March 9. The Dawgs finished third at last year's Bandon Dunes Championship and will look to improve on that result this season.

This past Saturday the Yellow Jacket volleyball team traveled to Crete, Nebraska for an NAIA Opening Round matchup with #18 Doane College. The Tigers defeated the Yellow Jackets in four games 23-25, 23-25, 25-19, and 22-25. The Yellow Jackets wrapped up their season as DAC Conference Tournament Champions and an appearance in the NAIA National Tournament for the second straight year. BHSU went 24-12 on the season which was their fourth straight year with 20 or more wins.
The Yellow Jackets were led by senior Kristin Engle who had 20 kills on the afternoon. Engle also collected eight total blocks, two solo. Junior Maggie O'Neill had 16 kills. Senior Setter Mandy Brumfield led all setters with 42 assists. Doane College was a perfect 10-0 on the season at home this year. The Yellow Jackets looked like they had the momentum in game three and early in game four but the Tigers were able to make some crucial plays late to finish the BHSU season.
"It was disappointing because we played very hard but just didn't make the plays down the stretch in the three games that we lost to come out on top," said Head Coach Jhett Albers.
The Yellow Jackets had five players that finished the season with DAC honors. Kristin Engle was named 1st Team All-Conference and DAC Senior of the Year. Maggie O'Neill was also named DAC 1st Team All-Conference making it her second straight year on the 1st Team. Engle was a four –time 1st Team All-Conference selection in her four years at BHSU. Mandy Brumfield, senior Carina Sweet, and senior Kayla Haines were all named 2nd Team All-Conference. "Our seniors were the backbone of this program for the past four years. They should be very proud of their accomplishments and the success that they have had," added Coach Albers. The seniors won a remarkable 92 matches over a four-year span.

The Free Marketeer
- Small businesses created a whopping 65% of all new jobs in the last decade and a half. But despite the small business sector's efforts, the economy will continue to contract as the government expands. Unemployment remains at 8.5%, while underemployment has reached 15.2%, and entrepreneurship is at a 17-year low.
- Small Businesses with fewer than 20 employees spend over $10,000 a year per employee to comply with federal regulations. Businesses with 20-499 employees spend over $7,000 per employee on annual regulatory compliance.
- A recent Chamber of Commerce survey of small business executives reveals that 85% believe our economy is on the wrong track, and 8 out of 10 say they'd rather Washington stay out of business's way rather than provide a 'helping hand.' Almost 90% prefer more certainty from government, while only 6% say they prefer more government assistance with the economy.
Quote of the Week:
"Indeed, a major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it does this task so well. It gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself."
Milton Friedman, Capitalism and Freedom

It might take a radical design to show others a good way of solving a problem. In fact, an avant-garde idea may be the only way to get the attention of designers because it gets them talking. It not only gets designers thinking, but it also gets the general public interested and intrigued by design. Its sublime images even question what may or may not be fictional after all. All this is why avant-garde design is so important to the world. But in the end, it will always do one thing: inspire. It inspires that which is surreal. It inspires that which is beautiful.
-Tyler Troutman

JWC TO MARY RUSSELL ; 15 December 1842; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18421215-JWC-MR-01; CL 15: 231-232
5 Cheyne Row / Chelsea [15 December 1842]
My dearest Mrs Russel
I meant to have written to you yesterday along with my letter for Margaret but how to write to you without mentioning the purport of my writing to her, and how very much I had it at heart that she should come? And then if it so happened that she applied to you for advice—as is likely enough—and that your real opinion was she had better remain with her children?— Between the two, you were thus, it seemed to me, going to find yourself in a constrained position in which it was hardly fair to place you. But now this morning comes another consideration— (I have such a way of tormenting myself with all sorts of out-of-the-way considerations!) viz: that you might think it unkind of me to send a letter to your care without a word—and unkindness towards you—is what I could not bear to lie under the smallest suspicion of—even for a moment— Oh no my dear Mrs Russel—tho I should never see you more, not hear from you more, I shall think of you, and love you, and be grateful to you as long as I live. But for the knowledge of what you did for her,1 and how thankfully she felt it— I know not how I should ever have brought myself to think of her last weeks with any degree of composure— As it was; God knows there still remains enough to feel eternal regrets about—but without a friend like you, to make her feel that she was not quite alone with her sickness and her vexations, it would have been unspeakably worse for her then, and for me now—
How grieved I was that I happened to be absent during your Fathers stay in London. I felt somehow as if he had come from her—had brought me kind messages from her—and I had missed him!— I would have returned immediately on purpose to see him—but they knew that I would, and so did not tell me until it was too late— But he will come again having found how easy it is?— Will he not, and bring you with him?— Oh I should like so well to have you here!
I am always very weakly in health, tho' better than when I last wrote to you— At present my Brother-in-law has put me on a course of blue-pill for pain in my side— But until I turn what health and strength I have to better account I have no business to regret that I have not more— I wish you would write to me some day and tell me about old Mary2 and all the people— Thornhill and Templand and every thing about there is often as distinct before my eyes as the house and street I am actually living in—but as it was—as it must be now I can never bring myself to figure it— Give my kindest regards to your Father and Husband— I felt your Father's letter very kind— God bless you dear Mrs Russel
Ever your affectionate
Jane W Carlyle

If two wrongs don't make a right…What about three? This morning I read that a Rutgers University professor was suspended for "[informing] the 30 or so Rutgers undergrads who had signed up for the [anthropology] class that his plan was to learn the course materials gamely along with them," according to an article in the Daily Caller. I wasn't sure if I should be outraged, so I kept reading. According to the same article, he has had some mental issues in the past, which the writer believes may have contributed to the school's decision to suspend Robert Trivers. Mr. Trivers, modestly proclaimed that by bringing this incident to light respect for his status in the field, his achievements, and his abilities have not been shown by the University.
Was it not, Rutgers University who 10 months ago fired a basketball coach; after video footage was released showing the coach "physically and verbally abusing" players? It was only after state officials pressed the Athletic Director Tim Pernetti for action that he fired the coach. In this situation, the university took a slower course of action. So why all of a sudden this suspension a good one? Do we, as a society hold our athletic personnel in a higher regard than accomplished educators?
Furthermore, even mentioning his mental state, in my opinion is not very professional. The mentally ill often times do not receive the care they so desperately need. Former US Representative Patrick Kennedy, who has admitted he suffers from bipolar disorder and is champion of mental health, stated in an interview with Lifescript,
"Behavior is a symptom of a disconnect in your brain." As other health issues they need to be treated. If you have prior knowledge that someone is mentally ill, why place them in a situation such as this, making them uncomfortable? To learn more about mental illness please visit MentalHealth.gov.
It's time to promote appropriate and accessible services for all those in need.

Some Advice from the Old Kids
Sooner or Later It Happens to Every Teen Idol: Your Fans Drift Away, Your Songs Sink a Few Fathoms on the Pop Charts, You Find You Have to Shave More Than Once a Month. In Anticipation of the Day When the New Kids Face Postpubescent Retirement, Some Bubble-Gum Heartthrobs of Yesteryear Offer a Few Words of Wisdom
Donny Osmond in 1977 and today, at 32, staging a comeback: "When you blitz the market, you sacrifice longevity for success. The people around you take advantage of you and market you to the hilt. It's what happened to me. It's a sad scenario." Adds brother Jimmy, now 27 and head of an entertainment marketing firm: "Treat celebrity as a gourmet meal that lasts a short time but that you can remember with joy and fondness forever."
Bobby Sherman in 1973, after his prime as a teenybopper icon and star of television's Shindig and Here Come the Brides and today, at bottom, as a 46-year-old actor, composer and volunteer paramedic: "Enjoy and appreciate your fans, and always remember that you have a unique and powerful ability to influence millions of young lives. Consider it a trust and a responsibility."
Eric Faulkner, below left with the Bay City Rollers in 1978, and today at 35: "Nothing compares with the buzz from playing in front of 70,000 screaming kids. It's unbelievably exciting. But we suffered from overexposure. People think, 'Oh, God, not them again!' And we got really tired and started to take it out on each other. You get to where you start taking a pill or a drink to cope with the pressure."
Fabian as a 16-year-old teen dream in 1959 and, above, performing on the state-fair circuit. "Your ego gets inflated and you think you are some macho No. 1. but if you are with someone for a night, remember, that's their claim to fame. You don't want to treat them badly: Groupies are still people. My advice to the Kids is to do their own laundry once a month. To keep them humble."
Frankie Avalon, flexing in 1964, and today at 49: "If kids idolize you, at least try to be someone who has morals and kindness—I even took it as far as not getting photographed with a cigarette in my hand. Remember, you're not going to be teen idols all your lives—that's going to be the biggest pitfall of all. If you want to stay in the business you love, develop your craft."

Spread the Word
Public policy should strive to act in the best interests of children. Instead, laws fail to protect children whose families do not fit into a certain mold. The two million children raised by LGBT parents have become collateral damage of ideology and laws designed to hurt LGBT people. All Children Matter is the most comprehensive look to date at these children—and how they are failed by society, government and the law. Help us spread the word so that we can begin to ensure we are giving all children the chance to reach their full potential.

This question already has an answer here:
I am not sure if it's true to say when you download a package from Ubuntu repository, then that it will be a debian package and if you download only a tar file and use
make command to install it, than that it will be a binary package?
I mean if we use:
sudo apt-get install something
something is a debian package? Is it true?

Laura M. wrote, "Hello Personal Shopper! I am recently engaged with four beautiful and delightful bridesmaids. I have chosen a color (navy) for my bridal party and have encouraged them to find whatever they like and run it by me. Three of them love similar iterations of a navy dress from Lilly Pulitzer. The fourth, my maid of honor, can't wear these styles due to size and shape constraints. The wedding will be in June on the east coast by the water - hot and humid! Please help me find something light and breezy (linen? Eyelet?) in navy for my beloved MOH! Thanks, La"
Laura, as a plus-sized woman myself, (Janetor here, btw) can I just say that it is so lovely that you care about your MOH and want her to look and feel fabulous on your special day? Props to you! This late in the summer, there aren't a ton of navy blue dresses left that aren't made in swelteringly hot fabrics like polyester or satin. These are all decent cotton, jersey, or lawn options that can be altered to suit (sleeves/length shortened, etc), but if she doesn't like any of them, consider an Etsy Alchemy request, or contact a local seamstress. Good luck, and congratulations on your recent engagement!
1 - Kiyonna Delilah Long Dress ($118, could easily be trimmed shorter by a good tailor!)
2 - Catherines Sleeveless Swiss Dot Sundress ($41-46 on sale)
3 - Torrid Navy Braided-Strap Dress ($58)

Frustrated in your search for that perfect leather handbag, red stiletto pump, or whatever makes your heart go thump in the night? Send us a request and we might do the shopping work for you in a future Personal Shopper feature!
There's an amazing website, twobirdsbridesmaid.com that has amazing dresses that have 15 different styling options. Laura M. should check it out.
This comment is for you too Janetor, in case you don't know about them: eShakti! Custom made clothes at retail prices and much for us beautifully endowed women: http://www.eshakti.com/default.asp :)(:
SO EXCITING! Thanks personal shopper and janetor!!! I love numbers 6 and 7, and 4 is so darn charming! I am passing your pics on - and thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
FYI - I got a gorgeous bridesmaid (maid of honor, natch) dress at David's Bridal. It was navy blue, very flattering, tea length, and not overly hot. It came in sizes from like 0-30 or some gloriously wide range like that, so there was an option for everyone! I felt beautiful and comfy in my plus size dress on my BFF's big day. :)
