the rx3s gyro does not measure attitude (rotation angles), instead it only measures rotation rates. you could integrate rotation rate to derive approximate angle, but i suspect it will drift quite badly over time. the best approach is to use an accelerometer, like the mpu6050, which provides both rotation rate and position.
as an aside, i came across this manual: http://www.geeetech.com/wiki/index.p...oller_PV_Fixed and noticed that it has a "Stunt flight locked mode", which, if i understand the text, seems to indicate that after you return sticks to neutral, the plane will try to hold or lock its attitude, somewhat like the 3d hold mode in guardian. since this thing only has gyros and no accel, it's probably not as stable as the guardian (and also cannot do wing leveling or your AHI), but just integrating rotation rate to get position might be sufficient for short term attitude approximation, particular if the pilot adjusts the stick to force it to rehold and relock the attitude occasionally. i believe this is what happens with heli AVCS gyros? the youtube video of a demo seems pretty good (see around 22s mark).
seems interesting.
Finally gotten around to have my V2 setup. Soldered a connector in place, I don't like it cause it increases the width but it's most convenient.
Gonna hook up some servos later today and see how it's going.
Too bad weather is miserable these parts.

noobee, I tested your cmake on Linux today it's working great.
But, you should replace
#include <arduino.h>
#include <Arduino.h>
compile fails cause Linux files systems are usually case-sensitive. Should not affect Windows in any way.

cppm update and question
hey all
an update and a question.
i'm almost done enabling cppm support. i have several frsky d4r-ii rx'es, which are 4-ch regular but can emit 4/6/8 ch in cppm mode (with open9x for example). since i wanted another aux2 input for that attitude hold experiment, i went on to finish up cppm support for both rx3s v1 and v2. now, if you have a frsky rx, you can just connect the cppm output to ail_in and which will accept
rudder, elevator, throttle, aileron, aux1, aileron_left, aux2 (7 channels currently). furthermore, the throttle signal is passed through to the rud_in pin, which then connects to the esc. (see pic below for rx3s v1 connections with cppm).
now the question. should we use the AIL switch to determine CPPM mode or should we leave it as a compile time option, which means another set of (2) .hex files (so that we can reserve that AIL switch for something else in the future?)
the current code (and generated hex files are at https://github.com/noobee/FlightStab/tree/cppm). Please be careful with the throttle channel now that it runs through the stabilizer!

I want to say thank you everyone and especially to noobee for effort to create really useful firmware for that devices.
I have V2 and planned to use flaperons with stabilizer.
With original firmware in order to have flaperons I tried to use
two V-tail mixers and one signal reverse according to proposition I found here in description
Unfortunately the chain of devices : stabilizer + V-tail mixer + reverse in total generate delay about 0,5 second. With such feedback I could forget to have control on aircraft. So this is not the solution.
Then I found you thread and plan to try your firmware in near future.
Thank you again!
I have HobbyKing's "USBasp AVR Programming Device for ATMEL proccessors"
This have option to supply 5v or not supply power.
In case of 5v there is change to burn gyro;
In case of no power and wrong connection of power from RX there is chance to burn ATMEL.
I have a question/proposition:
what do you think about using two JR connectors from one side (to connect to programmer connector) and wires to 5/6v power input of stabilizer (before 3.3 voltage regulator) just like the RX supply the stabilizer but in case of programming the power will be take from programmer. The other signal wires just solder to appropriate contacts.
The signal contacts of JR connects make more short so the ground will be connected first and then 5V and then signals.
I would like to know your opinion about this way before try this.

cmake help needed
@idonasch and @sbstnp
since you have cmake running, can you help take a stab () at two problems that i am facing?
1. i'm trying to set up the ability to build permutations with various flags enabled (eg USE_SERIAL, MOD_PCINT0):
2. if i set USE_I2CDEVLIB, i'm not sure how to build the library first (is that needed?), otherwise i seem to get a linking error:
- checked out the master branch
- fixed the "Arduino.h" include...
- had to change a FATAL mesg to STATUS in the Arduino.cmake file (who knows why, must be my linux version of cmake) or cmake would bail out with a misleading message....
- added the 3 "add_arduino_firmware(...)" targets
- commented out the USE_I2CLIGHT define in the source (multiple defined)
- added link_directories(~/Arduino/libraries) to CMakeFiles.txt
- created build_ido
- cd build_ido; cmake .. -DARDUINO_SDK_PATH=/home/ingo/src/ATmega/arduino-1.0.3
- did a "make TEST_RX3S_V2_SERIAL" which built the libs and the executable
- did a "make TEST_RX3S_V2_MOD_PCINT0" which just built the other executable.
works great (well, this was all done under linux)!!!???
I think I really didn't get your problem????
problem 2 is usually a mismatch between header files and library. the ITG3200 file seems to be missing, but that's from the I2Clib which you're not using anymore?!! something is out of sync. delete the build directory and start fresh. if that doesn't fix it, you have a header file somewhere in your include path that is only picked up by the app and not the lib (or vv.). the "link_directories" might be the ticket!
hope this helps
ps. if your source files are on a remote host, make sure the machine times are in sync or make might get confused and does not make files it should or vv.
OpenAero port to RX3S_V1
well, noobee I cheated on you
I ported OpenAero (not OpenAero2) to the RX3S because it worked much smoother on the KK board then my FlightStab port was. during that process I noticed a couple things that you might be interested in yourself for the FlightStab project:
- the servo output is generated by instruction counting in assembler - yikes! but it works beautifully because 4 servos are handled at the same time and interrupts are blocked. I'm tempted to change that to poll the TCNT1 rather counting clock cycles. that makes it portable and more accurate.
- the servo output is triggered after all Rx inputs have been read the PID was calculated. no jitter at all! I really didn't expect that until I tested it.
- provisions for autoleveling are in the code but only available if the platform has an accelerometer. isn't (roll-rate * time) sufficient to know where the plane is heading?
- they have a nice built-in configuration menu when you connect a sparkfun 16x2 LCD to the unit with soft serial (another project I tinkered with). the gimbals are used to navigate through the menu.
- openaero2 (the version for the KK2 board) is now much more advanced, it has configurable mixers (presets or user configurable). I'm thinking of pulling that back into the OpenAero port. looks pretty cool to me.
- delta and flaperon mixing was already implemented, unfortunately that interfered with delta mixing (gimbal navigation was keyed of servo input that already came in mixed) I had to un-mix that!
I think OpenAero is a project worth looking at, also the MultiWii project!
unfortunately there was a lot of work to port OpenAero to a different platform: use cmake instead of avr studo, convert to C++ (that was unexpectedly painless) and use magic templates to hide hard coded machine specifics. also lots of ifdefs were in place to distinguish the 2 supported variants, but this should have been done by feature rather then platform. the experience from doing the FLightStab port came in really handy. I'm not quite sure which project I'm sticking with.... The MultiWii Mini board arrived yesterday....
well, its done now, just waiting for flyable weather.

After a rash of burglaries in Logan County, neighbors in a normally quiet area are on high alert.
The targets: cars. Some were left unlocked; others had their windows broken out, and all of them are now missing valuables inside.
"You have to be very careful, you never know who is watching you," said Monique Dodd.
Dodd was home when someone broke into her husband's truck Friday morning.
Papers were scatted in the driveway and pricey tools and a handgun were gone when the family came outside. The Dodds learned an expensive lesson.
"It's just not safe to leave your vehicle unlocked," stated Dodd.
Chief Deputy Richard Stephens with the Logan County Sheriff's Department says about 10 cars within five miles of Charter Oak and Santa Fe were hit.
Items stolen included iPads, telephones, purses, and even another handgun from another unlocked truck.
"People are stealing more and more items. I like to joke they would steal grass if they got the opportunity," said Stephens.
So far, no suspects have emerged in the investigation. Deputies say people shouldn't think they are safe just because they are out in the country. Everyone needs to lock their cars and hide valuables.
"I don't think you are safe anywhere any more, people are just so brazen to do whatever they want and they don't fear the consequences," shared Dodd.
If you know anything about the break-ins contact the Logan County Sheriff's Office.

Part 1/4
Douglas Napoleone is programming a music database for the web with Django.
To be continued: part 2/4
VideoVideo 1/4 doesn't play.
Video problemSame problem for me. Video 1/4 doesn't play.
Video 1 doesn't seem to work (2 plays fine)The heading says it all but yes, I haven't been able to get the video on this page to play. Video two started right up when I went to it...
never gotten these to workI've tried to view these videos on a few different flash version and even different operating systems. no dice.
Make videos downloadableIf possible, could you please make this videos downloadable instead of having to stream them. We have limited internet bandwidth here and streaming can be annoying, it takes ages to buffer up and if you want to watch it again you need to download it all over again wasting bandwitdh.
I like to keep videos like this on my harddrive for future reference, or to show friends, but making them streaming only doesn't make that very easy.
Missing videosTo solve the problem - at least for the moment - we've put the videos on four separate pages.
you are missing parts 2 and 4nevermind.. seems you are missing parts 2 and 4 (they don't show up) of the video.
do you mind posting these? thank you
nice videothank you for posting these videos... was a bit confusing to see part 1-4 and only 2 videos but hopefully those 2 videos contained parts 1-4 and I didn't miss anything?

The American Civil Liberties Union is suing the Giles County, Va. School Board for posting the Ten Commandments as part of a history display.
Narrows High School has a copy of the Commandments displayed next to other historic documents.
The ACLU, representing an unnamed student and his parents, want the display removed, as well as a ban on any other biblical documents being displayed.
They argue that it unconstitutionally promotes a specific religious faith and serves no secular purpose.
School board members voted in June to re-hang the biblical texts as part of a display that included other U.S. historical documents. More than 50 students had walked out of class in protest over the commandments removal earlier in the year.
Liberty Counsel, a non-profit law firm and Christian ministry, is defending the board's decision.
"This is the first case of this nature I am aware of in Virginia," Matt Staver, Lliberty's founder, said.
"My obvious hope is that this case will be dismissed by the court. We don't even know if this is a real family or a real person who is behind this case," he said.

"One-crocoBANG". Counting the seconds between the flash of lightning, and the clap of thunder, on an exposed ridge between Malealea and Roma, had suddenly become less than fun. In fact, perched on an aluminium mountain bike, or conductor, call it what you will, a more accurate description would be life-threatening.
Our adventure had started six days earlier, when my partner for the Lesotho Sky, Jakes Jakobsen, and I crossed through the Van Rooyens border post onto the billiard-table-smooth tar that would take us to Maseru, and eventually Roma. The trip up from Cape Town is a long one, so as soon as we found the Roma Trading Post, we dropped our bags, unpacked the bikes and set of on a pre-race exploration ride. On the other side of Roma we encountered our first taste of what was to come over the next week, an unnamed pass (to us it was of Alpine proportions, as our legs and lungs screamed for more oxygen at 1800m) that took us up to an area with some spectacular slick rock riding.

McConaughey rebuilds career with challenging roles
Several weeks ago, when Matthew McConaughey announced he would play the lead in Christopher Nolan's 2014 space epic "Interstellar," he acknowledged it's a leap to another level.
"Let's be honest. Two years ago, no one had me on that top list in dramas," he said at his New Orleans home. "Now I'm going to do this Nolan film, which is as big of a thing in Hollywood as there is."
McConaughey is savoring the experience of acting opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's crime drama "The Wolf of Wall Street."
"I had this 20-year flashback when I was in college, studying Martin Scorsese's films," he said. "And now here it is, 20 years later, and someone's driving me to meet him at his house about a role. This is good."
Not long ago, McConaughey was a respectable box-office performer coasting through passable romantic comedies on the strength of his pearly grin, wavy hair and gym-toned physique. If you were looking for someone to cast opposite Jessica Biel as a squabbling divorced couple shipwrecked on a desert island, McConaughey was your go-to guy.
Now 43, he's a star reborn, rejecting stereotypical roles for an audacious career reinvention. He is delivering the best work of his career in a string of atmospheric, adventurous indie productions.
In "Mud," which goes into wide release today, he plays a fugitive hiding on an island in the Mississippi after killing a rival for his beloved, Juniper (Reese Witherspoon). With the help of two local boys, the charismatic desperado plans his escape from police and bounty hunters hired by the dead man's family.
The well-written picture shows McConaughey doing something he's done a lot lately: having a terrific time being an actor.
You could sense the joy of performance in 2011's "Lincoln Lawyer," where the Texan played a bottom-feeding criminal-defense attorney. The film showed he wasn't afraid to make audiences queasy.
"It was a fun thriller," he said, "but there was drama to it that opened people's ideas about me being in certain roles that maybe they weren't seeing me in."
In his movies since then, he's been on fire. He pivoted to Richard Linklater's "Bernie," with a small, scene-stealing role as a hot-dogging publicity-hound DA prosecuting a cherubic killer (Jack Black).
He went deep to the dark side in "Killer Joe," playing a slithery policeman/contract killer for director William Friedkin ("The French Connection," "The Exorcist"). He revealed striking vulnerability as a tormented journalist in the gothic melodrama "The Paperboy," the first film of his career to debut at Cannes.
As the owner of a male strip club in Steven Soderbergh's smash hit "Magic Mike," he flipped his old image as a shirtless-wonder girl-toy into raunchy comedy. And with "Mud," McConaughey got his second Cannes premiere.
"I'm enjoying my career more than I ever have," he said. "I love the roles. I love the work. I happen to have the good fortune of working my butt off and really having some great roles. Then if I can make a mark doing these, and people like what I did in them, that will open up some important opportunities."
As McConaughey said of his career plan in the 1990s, "I figure I am in the third round of a 15-round fight."
He's joined the likes of Bradley Cooper, Channing Tatum and Johnny Depp, farsighted actors who refashioned themselves from handsome romantic leads to versatile character actors.
His next film, "Dallas Buyers Club," puts McConaughey in the ranks of physical chameleons like Robert De Niro and Christian Bale. To play a real-life homophobe who contracted HIV and extended his life with alternative treatments, he dropped from 182 pounds down to a skeletal 135.
He avoided sunlight for three months to achieve the character's pallor, recording the physical, mental and spiritual changes he experienced in a journal that he hopes to publish.
"It's what the role needed," he said. "And I must say, honestly, it turned into a wild, wonderful, enjoyable adventure for me as a person. It really did.
"Every single day you diet and until sundown you can't go outside. I had to maintain it while we were shooting, off the set, when I came home, on the weekends. I read more and wrote more than I ever have in my life, needed less sleep," he said.
"To have something you can really commit to like that, that's part of the fun of what we get to do. It really is."

I am eight months pregnant. We – my husband, Ayman Muhammad al-Jabali, 40, my two-and-a-half year old daughter Rama and I – live in an apartment building in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood.
Since the fighting began on 14 November 2012 I haven't been able to sleep because I'm afraid of the bombings. I hold my daughter Rama, and read the Quran and pray to God to protect us. Rama keeps waking up, frightened by the bombings, and cries a lot. I can't get her to sleep. I became so exhausted that I phoned a pediatrician for consultation. She told me that I could give Rama a children's sleep medicine, but that prolonged use is not recommended because then children have trouble falling asleep without it. Yet I have no choice since my daughter can't sleep because of the bombardments that shake the walls of the house so much that it feels like an earthquake. After the bombing of the building of the Palestinian civil administration, which is responsible for coordination with Israel and is located about 100 meters from our house, cracks appeared in our walls. Despite the cold, I have to leave the windows open, so that the windowpanes won't shatter during the bombardments. We wear many layers and stay covered up to keep warm. In the previous war, 2008-2009, the glass in the windows shattered in our apartment and in all the other apartments in our building. A few passersby in the street were injured by the flying shards of glass. .
Since the war began, life has come to a complete standstill. I am a teacher in a government school. On ordinary days, when I go to work, I leave Rama with my parents who live seven, eight kilometers away from us, in the a-Sheikh Radwan neighborhood. Rama is very attached to them. Now she cries a lot and asks to go to her grandpa and grandma, and repeats the names of her uncles and aunts. She goes to her closet, takes out her clothes and her little bag and walks to the door. I don't know what to say to her, how to explain that we cannot go to grandpa and grandma, and I try to distract her with games and drawing. Sometimes, so that she won't cry all the time, her father takes her out and buys her a few sweets in the shop next door, and then brings her back home, even though it's dangerous to go outside. Rama has begun saying new words that she didn't know before, like "bombing," "missile" and "airplane." When I watch the news on television, she says "Wow, blood, missile." She already understands that missiles causes pain and blood. I cry a lot when I look at her. I think to myself, "This is not her fault... What if she ends up as one of the dead children that we see among the rubble on television?" .
My husband Ayman is a taxi driver and he has to work, in spite of the danger, because otherwise we won't be able to make ends meet. Rama and I anxiously wait for him to come home. I spend a lot of time on the balcony that overlooks the street, and from there I can see my husband in the taxi company office when he is waiting for calls. When I see him leave, I become consumed with fear that I won't see him ever again, because his taxi or the area where he's driving might be bombed, and then I'd lose him forever. I stay on the balcony all through his workday. I can't sit in the house when he's away, even though it's dangerous to be on the balcony. Every time I hear planes approaching, I grab Rama and hurry inside the house to hide. .
Although there is nearly no traffic now, there are still people who have to get places urgently, to the hospital for instance, and my husband has to work, despite the danger. We need the money to live, and in wartime all the prices go up. During the last war, a kilo of tomatoes reached the mind-boggling price of 80 shekels [approximately 20USD]. Things are expensive now, too. Even bread is hard to get because people are afraid that the war will go on for a long time, so they buy and hoard bread, in case the bakeries run out of flour. .
Last night I fell asleep for a little while and woke up in a panic. I looked about me for my husband and daughter and thanked God that we were still in our house and not lying in rubble. I felt guilty for having fallen asleep, because I'm afraid that we'll be bombed while I'm asleep and then I won't be able to protect my daughter and hide with her in the only shelter we have - under the table in the living room. That's the safest spot we have. My husband, who always tries to reassure me, suggested that we sleep in rotation so that I can rest a little, especially because I am eight-months pregnant. I sleep for two hours and he stays awake and then we switch, he sleeps for two hours and I stay awake. The imminent birth frightens me very much. I don't know how I'll get to the hospital, even though my husband is a taxi driver. The very thought of getting into a car is frightening because cars have been bombed. In the last war, the nearest hospital was also hit and there's no safe place where I can go. I thought of going to my parents' house and staying there until the war is over, so that I won't be alone if the birth begins when my husband is at work. I packed my bags at night and in the morning heard about further bombardments and decided not to leave the house. It's upsetting to hear my husband say that if something happens to our daughter he'll go crazy, and that I shouldn't worry about the baby I'm carrying, the main thing is that I should be all right. I'm afraid that he feels that something bad is going to happen and doesn't want to tell me. .
Even telephone communication has become impossible, because the telephone lines in our area have been bombed. We rely only on our cell phones, and even they don't always work because the network is so overloaded. Everyone constantly wants to call their relatives and friends to make sure they're okay. The worst is when the battery runs out, because we don't have electricity all the time, only for a few hours a day. I have to wait until the power comes back on to recharge the cell phones and only then can I call my parents and my sisters, especially my sister Asmaa who lives in the West Bank, and worries about us every time she hears about bombings in the area. She cries every time I call her after the network was down or the battery in my phone ran out. She tells me, "Thank God I can hear your voice. Thank God you are all still alive," and cries bitterly. This is our life – we did not choose it and we are not to blame; it's only because we were born here, in the Gaza Strip.
Amani Nawajha, 30, is married, eight-months pregnant and the mother of a toddler. Her testimony taken by Salma a-Deb'i on 18 November 2012, by telephone.

Joseph Budis, 61, of New Providence, has also been charged with theft by deception and identity theft, police said. He operated Murray Hill Historical Construction.
Clinton Mayor Christine Schaumburg said Budis had not been paid a cent.
"I am frustrated and angry that someone would do this to a municipality, particularly in these difficult times," Schaumburg said in June, after firing the Union County contractor.
Town attorney Richard Cushing said he'd never seen anything like this before.
Murray Hill Historical Construction had been hired to repair the picturesque dam that crosses the South Branch of the Raritan River between the historic Red Mill and the Hunterdon Art Museum, and to strengthen the earthen dike beside the river with stone and build a new retaining wall.
The repairs were mandated by the Department of Environmental Protection and the town received a state grant to do them, the mayor said.
Police started investigating Budis after a June 3 accident, where he reportedly dropped rocks from a backhoe onto a worker. The worker was treated for a broken leg at Hunterdon Medical Center.
The investigation revealed that Budis' bid documents, payment and performance bonds, and insurance documents were all counterfeit, Hunter said.
Murray Hill Construction had not actually submitted any money for the performance bond, and it did not have worker's compensation insurance. Police also learned that Budis and Murray Hill Construction had been debarred from public employment.
On July 13, Budis was arrested at his New Providence home, Hunter said. He is being held in Hunterdon County Jail in lieu of $100,000 cash bail.
Clinton awarded a new contract to Adamsville Maintenance of Bound Brook, which began work on the $914,000 project Aug. 9.

SuperTooth Disco Review
0. phoneArena 17 Jun 2011, 04:41 posted on
Some people might have the temptation to simply connect their handsets directly with their centerpiece stereo system, but for those who want to retain similar tones on the go, then the SuperTooth Disco might be an ideal solution for you. Priced modestly at $100 on the average, not only will this portable Bluetooth speaker wirelessly play music from your handset, but you can pack it along and have it blast tunes elsewhere...

Sixth sins: Rangers' failure to close out Angels in 6th leads to 6-5 loss
A pop fly toward the right-field stands drifted away from Nelson Cruz, who did all he could to make a catch that would end the sixth inning.
Instead, the ball fell foul, and Jeff Frandsen had another chance to keep the inning alive. He ended up giving the Los Angeles Angels a new life in the opener of a three-game series against the Texas Rangers.
Frandsen singled as six consecutive Angels hitters reached with two outs. Four of them scored as the Angels turned a 3-2 deficit into a 6-3 lead and withstood a late push by the Rangers to hang on for a 6-5 victory Tuesday night.
Vladimir Guerrero, playing in his first game at Angel Stadium since he parted ways with the team in the off-season, hit a two-run homer in the seventh that pulled the Rangers within a run, 6-5.
But Texas missed its opportunity to pull even or take the lead in the eighth, and the Rangers' lead over the Angels in the American League West is down to 3 1/2 games.
"We had a two-out situation with no one on in the sixth, and they put four on us," manager Ron Washington said. "That big inning was the downfall right there."
The big blow in the sixth was a three-run double Bobby Abreu off Darren Oliver. Frandsen scored the tying run on a Jeff Mathis one-hop smash off Elvis Andrus' glove after moving to second on a wild pitch.
Erick Aybar followed Mathis with a third straight single to chase Scott Feldman, who had retired the first two hitters in the sixth on eight pitches. Oliver walked Howie Kendrick, then hung a 3-2 curveball to Abreu.
"I hung a curveball, and he did what he was supposed to do with it," Oliver said.
Guerrero, though, got two runs back with his 16th homer. He also had a sacrifice fly in the third inning and singled in the first after receiving a standing ovation from the Angel Stadium crowd.
He was then treated to a video tribute in the second inning on the JumboTron. Guerrero declined comment after the game.
"It was a very nice moment," Washington said. "I thought they treated him with a great deal of respect. It gave me chills."
Cruz, who had cut down Abreu at home to end the third, opened the eighth with a single and stole second base. After Justin Smoak lined out and David Murphy reached on catcher's interference for a third time this season, Julio Borbon sent a flyball into the right-center-field gap.
Rather than tag up for a chance to move to third, Cruz was caught halfway as Torii Hunter chased down Borbon's drive. Cruz couldn't advance, and he would have scored the tying run as Andrus followed with an infield single.
"In that situation, it looked like he took for granted that it was going to fall," Washington said. "You've got to make sure that ball falls before you take off for third base."
Andrus' hit, his third of the game, loaded the bases with two outs. Michael Young, though, grounded out to end the inning, and Ian Kinsler, Guerrero and Josh Hamilton couldn't deliver in the ninth against Brian Fuentes.
Kinsler hit a solo homer in the first, and Hamilton extended his hitting streak to 22 games with a single in the third.
But the biggest hit might have been Frandsen's in the sixth. He and the Angels took advantage of a second chance to keep the inning alive.
"You can look back on a number of different things," Feldman said. "If I had just made a couple of better pitches in certain situations, the whole game could be different. That's just baseball."

Montreal Impact striker Eddie Sebrango is calling it a career after 14-years in professional soccer, including eight seasons with the Montreal Impact.
The 39-year-old was the oldest player in Major League Soccer this season. He says while it's tough to walk away from the sport that has allowed him to win five championships over the years, (two with the Impact in 2004 and 2009, two with Vancouver in 2006 and 2008, and one with the Rochester Rhinos in 2000), it was time.
"It was hard to say good bye to something that I love very much. But at the same time it was not as difficult because I was not involved as much this year and it was clear in my mind that they weren't including me in their plans for 2013 so in that point it was an easy decision that I knew would happen sometime this year."

▪ Objective: To determine the risk of sexual transmission of genital herpes simplex virus (HSV) in heterosexual couples.
▪ Design: Prospective study of couples who were participants in a clinical trial. Each source partner had symptomatic, recurrent genital HSV, and each susceptible partner was without serologic or clinical evidence of genital herpes. Couples were followed for a median of 334 days.
▪ Setting: Two university-based research clinics.
▪ Patients: One hundred forty-four heterosexual couples were studied out of an initial enrollment of 214 couples.
▪ Main Outcome Measures: Development of culture-proven HSV infection or type-specific antibodies in the susceptible partner.
▪ Main Results: Transmission occurred in 14 (9.7%) couples, including 11 (16.9%) of 65 couples with male and 3 (3.8%) of 79 with female source partners (P = 0.05). The annual rate of acquisition was higher (31.8%) in susceptible female partners who lacked antibodies to either HSV type 1 or 2 at entry compared with females with HSV type 1 antibodies at entry (9.1%). Couples avoiding transmission of HSV reported fewer days with genital lesions in source partners. Detailed histories were available at the time of transmission in 13 couples. In nine couples, transmission occurred when the source partner was reported to be asymptomatic and in four, it resulted from sexual contact at the time of prodrome (1 case) or within hours before lesions were first noticed by the source partner (3 cases).
▪ Conclusions: Despite clear recognition of genital herpes in source partners, there was substantial risk for transmission; in 70% of patients, transmission appeared to result from sexual contact during periods of asymptomatic viral shedding. The risk for acquisition of HSV was higher in women than men, and previous HSV type 1 infection appeared to reduce the risk for acquisition of HSV type 2 infection among women.

Visual and audible art are coming together for an upcoming Altoona Symphony Orchestra concert.
The concert "Symphony of Colors" will take the stage Saturday for the fourth concert in the 2013-14 season. The concert "Powerful Finale Celebrating the Spirit of this Great City, Altoona," will round out the season April 12.
The "Symphony of Colors" concept highlights "how music and images correlate," offering two main compositions: "La Mer," by French composer Claude Debussy in the early 1900s, and "Pictures at an Exhibition," which was first composed for the piano by Russian composer Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky in 1874 and then for an orchestra by French composer Maurice Ravel, Maestra Teresa Cheung said in an email.

The artwork of Joe Servello will be shown during the Altoona Symphony?Orchestra's "Symphony of Colors" concert at 7 p.m. Saturday at the?Mishler?Theatre, Altoona.
Artist Joe Servello of Altoona
Paintings and drawings from Mussorgsky's artist and architect friend, Viktor Hartmann, inspired his composition, she said. Childhood memories of the sea and paintings of the sea inspired Debussy's "La Mer." "Both works contained multiple movements," she said.
The concert will open "with a beautiful and sublime short work by Russian composer Anatol Liadov, 'The Enchanted Lake,'" Cheung said. "Quite a different body of water than 'La Mer,' I must say. It is a chance for our audience to close their eyes and create their own version of the enchanted lake in their minds."
The concert will feature artwork from Altoona artist Joe Servello.
Fact Box
If you go
What: "Symphony of Colors"
When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday
Where: Mishler Theatre, Altoona
Tickets: $30-$35, adults; $13-$15, students, prices include box office handling fees. Tickets can be purchased through the Mishler Theatre box office, 944-9434.
Servello sent Cheung paintings he had created based on Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition," a few years ago, she said. Servello "recreated" and "adapted" more than 60 small pictures with paint on construction paper, he said.
"There are only six known works from the original Hartmann show left so [Servello] drew inspiration from the music and really expanded on the work," Pamela Snyder Etters said in an email. "Joe's work not only depicts some of Hartmann's original works, it also tells the story of Mussorgsky's experience walking through the exhibition. Many of the paintings are transitional in the story and show Mussorgsky actually walking through the gallery spaces and entering new rooms."
During the concert, the audience will get to see projected images of Servello's paintings while the orchestra plays "Pictures at an Exhibition."
"I was deeply moved and inspired by his amazing creation, and decided that soon I must find a chance to share them with our audience," Cheung said of Servello. "It is particularly poignant to me how this has come full circle: Music inspired by visual art and then visual art inspired by music."
The admiration between Cheung and Servello is mutual.
"I have always admired Mr. Servello's works: the use of deep, rich colors and his magical depiction of emotion and movements," she said. "Most amazingly, I love how he makes time freeze and draws me into his paintings. Rather than remaining an observer, I feel like I am becoming one of the characters in his works."
Servello, an illustrator, has created artwork for more than 60 books, including his latest, which he also wrote, "You Are an Artist: Ideas and Encouragement for Children."
"I'm very thrilled about it. I'm very happy about it because I admire the director, Teresa Cheung, and the orchestra very much," Servello said of how he feels about his part in the celebration and the orchestra celebrating his work. "They're just simply great. It's just amazing, they're amazingly good and to have them here in Altoona is wonderful."

Basic Copyright Concepts For Writersby Claire E. White
The Internet Writing Journal, September 1997 One of the most important legal concepts that a freelance writer must become familiar with is that of U.S. copyright law. Many misconceptions exist regarding this topic, especially on the Internet. The Internet itself poses some tricky problems regarding copyright, not all of which are settled under U.S. law. This article will address some of these basic concepts and will give some practical advice for freelance writers on protecting their work.
What Copyright Law Covers
Copyright law protects "works of authorship" which include literary works such as short fiction, short stories, novels, nonfiction articles, poetry, newspaper articles, newspapers, magazine articles, magazines, computer software, software manuals, text advertisements, manuals, catalogs, brochures, and compilations of information, such as databases. Other categories of protected works include dramatic works, motion pictures, other audiovisual works, and sound recordings. Copyright law does not protect ideas, facts, inventions, processes, systems of operations, words, names, symbols or proprietary information, although it may protect the way these things are expressed. Inventions and processes are protected under patent law. Words, names and symbols used to identify good and services are protected by trademark law. Proprietary information (information secret to a business such as customer lists) is protected by trade secret law.
How Do You Get Copyright Protection for Your Work?
The original author of a work owns the copyright to that work, unless he or she has assigned those rights to a third party. Copyright protection arises automatically, without any action taken by the author, the moment the work is fixed in a tangible form so that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device. For a short-story writer, the work becomes fixed as soon as the author dictates the story, writes it down or types it into the computer. The work must be "original", e.g., not based upon someone else's work. The fact that the short story may be similar to many other stories does not mean it is not "original" for copyright purposes, so long as the author did not copy the story from another source.
For works published before March 1, 1989, a formal copyright notice was required to be placed on the work in order to receive copyright law protections. That is no longer the case. For works published after March 1, 1989, no copyright notice need be placed on the work in order for full copyright protection to apply. From a practical standpoint, however, an author should always place the following notice on his or her work: Copyright © 1997 by Author's Name. All Rights Reserved. The reason for this advice is purely practical; such a notice warns people who view the work that the author takes copyright issues seriously and may have a deterrent effect upon possible infringers, especially those who are unfamiliar with the intricacies of copyright law. Furthermore, if the work carries a proper notice, in the event of a subsequent infringement lawsuit the defendant will be unable to claim "innocent infringement"--that is, that he or she did not realize that the work was protected. (A successful innocent infringement defense may allow the defendant to pay less in damages than the copyright owner would otherwise receive if the infringement was found to be unintentional.)
"Publication" has a technical meaning in copyright law. According to the U.S. Copyright statute:
"Publication is the distribution of copies or phonorecords of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending. The offering to distribute copies or phonorecords to a group of persons for purposes of further distribution, public performance, or public display constitutes publication. A public performance or display of a work does not of itself constitute publication."In general, publication occurs on the date upon which copies of the work are first made available to the public.
Registering a Copyright
Given the fact that an author owns the copyright in his or her work the moment the work is fixed in a tangible form without a formal copyright notice, why bother to formally register the copyright in a work with the U.S. Copyright Office? There are several reasons to register:
To sue someone for copyright infringement the owner of the work
must first register the work with the U.S. Copyright Office. You may
register the work after someone has infringed upon the work, but the
registration will only apply to infringements that occur after the
registration. However, if you register your work within 90 days of
publication, the statutory damages provisions apply to infringements
before and after the actual registration.
- Registered works may be eligible for statutory damages up to
$100,000 and attorney's fees in successful litigation.
- If the registration is made within five years from the creation
of the work, it is considered prima facie evidence in a court of law.
- Registration is inexpensive ($20 per work registered) and relatively simple. To register the author simply fills out the copyright application and mails it to the U.S. Copyright office with a check and a nonreturnable copy of the work (one copy if the work is unpublished and two copies if it has been published). Works that have been published must be registered within three months of the publication. This is called "mandatory deposit".
Copyright registration is considered effective the day the Copyright Office receives all the materials required for registration. Authors may copyright the name in a pen name or pseudonym by simply checking the "Pseudonymous" box on the application.
Can Foreigners Copyright Their Work in the U.S.?
Many works of foreign origin are protected by U.S. copyright law. All unpublished works, regardless of the nationality of the author, are protected in the United States. Works that are first published in the United States or in a country which has entered into a copyright treaty with the U.S., or are created by a citizen or domiciliary of a country which has entered into a copyright treaty with the U.S. are also protected and may therefore be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. The U.S. has copyright treaties with many countries, including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Copyright laws of individual countries vary quite a bit. Some resources to investigate include the Canadian Intellectual Property Office copyright site and an Australian copyright site maintained by the Law Foundation of NSW.
How Long Does the Copyright Last?
Works published or created after January 1, 1978 are not subject to renewal registration. For works published or registered prior to January 1, 1978, renewal registration is optional after 28 years but does provide certain legal advantages.
The length of copyright protection depends on several factors: when the work was created, who created the work, and when the work was first distributed commercially. For works created on and after January 1, 1978, the copyright term for works created by an individual is the life of the author plus 50 years. The term of the copyright for "works for hire" is 75 years from the date of first "publication" (distribution of copies to the general public) or 100 years from the date of creation, whichever expires first.
The right to enforce the copyright is owned by the owner of the copyright. Usually, that will be the author of the work. However, if an employee creates a work within the scope of the employee's employment, any work created belongs to the employer. This is called "work for hire". For example, a comedy writer for The David Letterman Show writes several jokes for the monologue. The jokes are the property of the employer, not of the comedy writer because they were written within the scope of the writer's employment. The writer does not own the copyright to those jokes, the employer does.
"Work for hire" can also occur in a freelance situation if the author signs a specially commissioned "work for hire" agreement before the development of the project. Unless an independent contractor (the writer, musician etc.) signs a specially commissioned "work for hire" agreement, the copyright to the work created will remain with the author of the work. If a "work for hire" agreement is signed, the copyright to the work created will belong to the developer of the project. For example, Production Company wishes to develop and produce a documentary film. Production Company will enter into agreements with independent filmakers, writers, and musicians to create original work to which Production Company will own all the rights. In order to own the copyright to the finished product, Production Company will enter into specially commissioned "work for hire" agreements with each person who contributes original works to the final film. "Work for hire" agreements are common in the entertainment industry as well as in ghostwriting arrangements. The author must realize that if such an agreement is signed, he or she is giving up all his or her rights in the finished product forever.
Copyright Infringement
An author must be concerned with two aspects of copyright infringement: avoiding having his or her work infringed upon and avoiding infringing others' works. Copyright law protects against the copying of the "expression" of a work, not of the author's ideas. The difference between the expression and the idea of a work is a difficult concept from a legal perspective. Even if someone does not copy a work exactly, the "expression" of the work may have been copied. This concept is particularly apparent in music and art. If the allegedly infringing work is "substantially similar" to the copyrighted work, copyright infringement exists.
The owner of a copyright really owns a "bundle" of rights, like a bundle of sticks. Each stick or right can be sold or assigned separately to a third party. The rights owned by the author are as follows:
The Right to Reproduce the Work: the right to copy, imitate,
reproduce, duplicate or transcribe the work in fixed form.
- The Right to Derivative Works: the right to modify the work
to create a new work. A new work that is based upon an existing work
is a "derivative work".
- The Right to Distribution: the right to distribute the work
to the public by sale, rental, lease or lending.
- Public Display Right: the right to show a copy of the work
directly to the public (e.g., hanging up a copy of a painting in
a public place) or by means of a website, film, slide, or television
image at a public place or to transmit it to the public.
- Public Performance Right: This is the right to recite, play, dance, act or show the work at a public place or to transmit it to the public.
Infringement can occur when any of these rights is violated. For example, Joe, a science fiction enthusiast, decides to create a webpage featuring Star Wars®. He places pictures on his site of Princess Leia, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker underneath a big Star Wars® logo which he copied off the official Star Wars® website. He also places a midi on his site which plays the Star Wars® theme music and shows an animation with 3 stills copied from the video version of the original movie. He then adds an interactive message board where viewers can add a paragraph to a new adventure on which these characters embark and a quote "There is no try...only do" under a picture of Yoda. Sound familiar? There are sites like this all over the Web.
So, what copyright violations has Joe committed? Well, he has infringed upon Lucasfilm's bundle of copyright rights in a number of ways. By copying the pictures of the characters from the film he has infringed upon Lucasfilm's right of reproduction and possibly upon the individual actors' rights to publicity. By creating a new storyline with the same characters from the film he has violated the right to create derivative works. By showing stills from the movie in sequence he has violated the right of public performace. By playing the midi he has violated the rights of the holder of the copyright to that music and of the holder of the rights to that particular recording of the music. He would also be liable for reuse fees which are paid to the owners everytime that music is played or performed in public. The quote could possibly be considered a copyright infringement upon the script of the movie if it is considered a key phrase, even though the quote is small. He has also infringed upon the trademarks of Lucasfilm by showing the Star Wars® logo, which is a registered trademark of Lucasfilm.
A number of myths persist on the Internet in this regard. The first myth heard is, "it's just free advertising so it's not infringement". Not true. The holder of the copyright has the exclusive and sole right to decide when and how to advertise its products. This issue is a hot one - thousands of fanzines online and offline are gathering places for fans to discuss their favorite movies and television shows. The fans get very angry when the big studios and companies send threatening letters to the owners of infringing websites and obtain injunctions ordering sites to be shut down. Some studios even encourage the fans' unauthorized activities behavior on the quiet, while adopting an official policy against any infringement. The reason for this behavior has to do with trademark law, not copyright law. A holder of a valid copyright cannot lose that copyright in a work by failing to defend it. However, a holder of a trademark can lose the trademark if the holder fails aggressively to prosecute trademark violations and defend the mark. Therefore, Joe should be especially worried about that trademarked StarWars® logo sitting illegally on his site. The bottom line is, if you copy something without authorization you are taking the risk of being sued and/or having your site shut down. You must obtain a license or assignment from the owner of the copyright before you may reproduce the copyrighted material in any format whatsoever, including on the Internet.
Another misconception heard on the Internet is that if the site is free and the owner is not making money from the site, than any material on the site does not constitute copyright infringement. Irrelevant. Although whether the infringement is commercial or not may have a bearing on the damages awarded in the subsequent copyright infringement suit, it is not a defense to infringement that you made no profit from the infringement.
One of the biggest misconceptions on the Internet appears to be an idea that one can gain title to a copyrighted work by altering the image. This is absolutely false. If Joe, our hypothetical infringer, copies a copyrightable photograph of a horse in a field from Sue's webpage then adds animation to it so that the horse now appears to be running through the field, Joe does not own copyright to the picture. He only owns the copyright to the animation element, not of the horse running because it is a derivative work of the original photograph.
Exceptions to the Infringement Rules
There are three exceptions to the copyright infringement rules which allow one to reproduce a another's work without obtaining a license or assignment of rights: when the use is considered "fair use", when the work is in the public domain, and when the material is not copyrightable. "Fair use" is a doctrine which states that one may reproduce the copyrighted work for a limited purpose of teaching, reviewing, literary criticism and the like. Without the "fair use" doctrine no one would ever have his or her book reviewed or have been able to study the works of Kurt Vonnegut in college or high school. "Fair use", however, is a slippery doctrine, and is determined on a case by case basis. Quoting small amounts from a work have been held to be copyright infringement where the quoted matter was crucial to the work and the copying contributed to the decline in commercial value of the work. On the other hand, entire passages quoted from books have been held to be "fair use". To be safe, ask permission from the author.
Public domain refers to works which are no longer covered by copyright law. For example, the recent rash of movies adapting Jane Austen's novels may have something to do with the fact that no one holds the copyright to these works; they are in the public domain and no license fees have to be paid to the author or her heirs. Facts which are common knowledge such as the form of calendars are also considered to be public domain and may be copied and reproduced at will.
The third exception relates to noncopyrightable works. Facts are not copyrightable, nor are ideas. However, a compilation of facts presented in certain order with original input and formatting, such as Writers Write's® guidelines listings database for example, is entitled to full copyright protection.
The Internet has compounded the copyright problem. When an author posts his or her work on a homepage it can be seen by people all around the world in countries which have no copyright treaty with the United States. Even if the author's work is infringed upon, he or she may never even hear about it if the work is reproduced in a foreign country. Furthermore, it is expensive to pursue a copyright violation lawsuit in a foreign country. However, it can be done.
If you find a copyright violation, the first step is to write a letter to the offending party requesting that the infringing material be withdrawn or removed from a website. If the infringing material is located on a website and the owner refuses to remove the offending material you might consider informing the owner's Internet Service Provider ("ISP") about the situation. The law in several countries is changing to hold ISP's liable for violations of various laws by users of the ISP and many ISP's will respond to complaints about illegal activities on members' websites. The underlying remedies for copyright violations have not changed because of the electronic revolution; one can still sue for damages and for an injunction to prohibit the display or transmission of the copied work. However, it is a good idea for today's authors to pay attention to what is happening on the Internet in order to protect their creative works.

Womens S&D Places Three on Academic All-Mac Squad
MUNCIE, Ind. - Ball State women's swimming and diving sophomores Jackie Iglesias (Aurora, Ind./West Aurora), Mallory Miles (Holland, Ind./Southridge) and Emily Wisolek (Middlebury, Ind./Northridge) have been named to the Academic All-Mid-American Conference Team, as announced today by the league office.
Iglesias, a physical therapy/exercise science major with a 3.96 grade-point average, earns the honor for the first time during her career with the Cardinals. She posted a top-10 time of 56.18 in the 100 back preliminaries during day two of competition at the MAC Championships and returned in the finals to place 14th (56.22). Iglesias also tallied a victory in the 100 back (57.21) versus Big 10 opponent Michigan State Saturday, Dec. 10.
Miles owns a 3.73 GPA as an elementary education major and is a first-year recipient of the honor. An All-MAC Second Team selection, she posted a win in the 200 fly (2:03.95) versus the Spartans and claimed the program-record in the event (2:01.08) during the league meet.
Also at the MAC Championships, Miles placed sixth in the 200 fly prelims (2:01.59) and clocked in with a third-place time of 54.35 in the 100 fly preliminaries for a program-record. Tallying 15th place in the 200 IM preliminaries (2:04.49), she returned in the finals and set a third program record (2:03.13) in 10th place.
Wisolek, an elementary education major with a 3.79 grade-point average, earns the honor for the first time. Individual event victories during the season include a win in the 200 free (1:55.20) during the IUPUI House of Champions, a first-place finish in the 200 free (1:55.66) versus Michigan State, wins in the 200 back (2:08.38) and 100 fly (59.02) versus Eastern Illinois, wins in the 200 free (1:52.88) and 500 free (5:06.79) versus Illinois State and a first-place finish in the 500 free (5:08.86) versus Miami.
At the league championships, Wisolek tied for 20th in the 100 free preliminaries (51.39) and claimed program records in the 200 free (1:50.13) and the 500 free preliminaries (4:54.95), in addition to a seventh-place finish in the 200 free preliminaries (1:50.60).
A total of 30 student-athletes earned Academic All-MAC honors, with Miami leading all schools with eight selections, followed by Toledo with six selections.
The Academic All-MAC honor is for a student-athlete who has excelled in athletics and academics. To qualify, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative GPA and have participated in at least 50% of the contests for that particular sport. First-year students and junior college transfers in their first year of residence are not eligible for the award. Outstanding academic and athletic accomplishments for the current season are only considered.

But with all of the adoration heaped on Twilight, voters found little love for Disney phenom Miley Cyrus, named worst celeb influence over such polarizing stars as Britney Spears and Kanye West.
Perhaps Cyrus should take a cue from best buds Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift, and hop on the Twilight train. Lautner's former gal pal was voted best celeb influence, while his current squeeze nabbed favorite female artist.

Bless you, YouTube. Bless you and curse you and thank you. You too, Facebook.
Compared to many of my friends, I'm a social media dilettante. I'm terribly neglectful of my Facebook account and even less attentive to LinkedIn. I don't tweet, I rarely Skype; most of my online hours are spent in research or email. Fortunately, my 'Net-wise friends haven't given up on me and they periodically email me reminders and links, so I won't miss out on any important stuff. Like Ruth's Ride.
My friend Bobalou is the primary caregiver for his 9-year-old daughter Ruth, who has been diagnosed with global developmental delay. Bobalou's built like a bear, a he-man with a heart of gold, but he ain't gettin' any younger, and as Ruthie grows bigger and stronger, it's getting harder to lift her and her wheelchair into the family car. So her mom created a Facebook page, Ruth's Ride, to rally support for a wheelchair-accessible vehicle. Through that page, they learned about an online contest in which Ruthie could win such a vehicle. The Local Heroes contest is being held by the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) in celebration of May being National Mobility Awareness Month. You can learn more and you can vote to help Ruthie get her ride by going to www.facebook.com/Ruths
Ride and following the link to the NMEDA website.
Note to my computer-resistant, nonline friends (I don't know if nonline is a real term, but it should be): You see, Facebook is more than ego-driven ramblings and insipid one-liners; there's a lot of good stuff there too, good causes and good news. Just like the real world. But with photos of food.
If you're into that sort of thing, there are over 3 million food videos on YouTube. And a lot of other stuff too, good and bad. Talk about the real world, YouTube has video of virtually anything you could think of . . . and more than a few things you could never imagine.
Recently an old schoolmate and family friend, Kekuhaupi'o Akana, emailed me the links to a couple of videos posted on YouTube by Jim Moser. Keku and Jim were among hundreds of young men who were trained in Olympic weightlifting by my dad, Dr. Masayoshi Nelson Yogi. And they are two of perhaps a dozen who followed in his footsteps and dedicated themselves to mentoring youth through weightlifting. The videos were shot 15 or so years ago, in our garage. I didn't even know they existed, actual footage of my own he-man teddy bear of a father.
When he died in December 1999 at the age of 67, Daddy ("Doc" Yogi to everyone else) had been coaching for over 20 years. He trained five-time national champ Brian Okada and two-time Olympian Vernon Patao. He also worked with stroke patients and middle-aged Average Joes, giving each the same kind of attention he paid to his champion lifters.
As a young man, Daddy was quite a contender himself, having placed fifth at the 1959 Nationals and holding national Junior AAU records for a number of years. Some of my earliest memories are of Olympic weightlifting meets at the old Wailuku Gym. I remember being so proud, watching my dad hoist giant barbells above his head. Too young to appreciate either the risk or the effort involved, I thought he was the strongest man in the world, even if he didn't rip telephone books in half or drive nails into two-by-fours with his bare hands like his friend Tommy Kono.
Last week, I saw my dad lifting weights again for the first time in more than a dozen years. I have photos of him displayed in my house and on my phone, and they always make me smile. But watching him move and hearing his voice, I fell apart. I couldn't tell whether I was shedding tears of joy or sorrow, love or longing. I felt like a character in an Edgar Allan Poe or Jules Verne tale, bewildered and bewitched by grainy moving pictures. What sorcery is this, conjuring up my beloved father after all these years? Overwhelmed by delight and despair all at once, I cheered when he executed a perfect snatch, gasped out loud when he missed, spoke words of encouragement as he performed his reps. And at the end of "Island Style 2 (a tribute to Doc Yogi)," when the training session was over and the camera closed in on his laughing face, I called out his name and cried uncontrollably. Then I clicked "replay" and jumped right back into the time machine.
Thank you, Keku. Thank you, Jim. Thank you and bless you both.

In the last half century, parents have looked for support from experts, from books, from the internet. Sources closer to home have been neglected. Parents, grandparents, friends, and neighbors have been bypassed. Knowledge of how to use cloth diapers has been lost to many people.
In the last two decades, there has been a slow revival of cloth diapering, particularly since the advent of the internet. At the Real Diaper Association, we think those sources closer to home still have the best support to offer. We want to see people face-to-face, talking about what works for them and why. We want to revive cloth diapers by encouraging experienced parents to be the local diapering experts.
