Excerpted from "Meet the Hummers" in "Popular Birding Series: Hummingbirds," published by BirdChannel.com publisher, I-5 Publishing.
Anna's Hummingbird is the most widespread hummingbird on North America's Pacific slope. This adaptable bird species often lives in human habitats. During courtship, a male Anna's Hummingbird stakes out territory over a flower patch with a rich nectar supply. A female Anna's Hummingbird enters the male's territory, mates and then leaves to build a nest. Unlike similar hummingbirds, Anna's Hummingbird is not migratory.
Anna's Hummingbird Quick FactGenus and species: Calypte anna
Habitat: Anna's Hummingbird is common in open woodlands, shrubby areas, back yards and parks.
Flight field marks: This hummingbird's tail is held stationary and aligned with the body and has gray-edged tail feathers.
Sitting field marks: short, straight bill; long, sloping forehead; dark head with pale eye-ring. Male Anna's Hummingbirds have iridescent, rose-red crowns and throats; the females have gray breasts and a red patch in the center of their throats.
Voice: The call sounds squeaking and grating, and the feeding call is "chick."
Nesting: The female Anna's Hummingbird builds a nest using plant down and spider webs, camouflaged by lichens. She lays one to three pure-white eggs, then incubates and feeds the chicks.
Feeding: tiny insects, spiders and flower nectar from red-flowering currant and fuchsia.

January - February 2006
College of Letters, Arts and Sciences
Keck School of Medicine
On a Friday in early September, California made scientific history—again—when the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) gave out its first grants to institutions throughout the state. These stem cell biology training grants allow institutions to begin training aspiring researchers in the sorts of cutting-edge stem cell techniques that may lead to the scientific advances this branch of medical research promises.
Among the named institutions were the Keck School of Medicine of USC, which received a three-year, $3.16 million stem cell training grant, and its affiliated Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, which received a three-year, $2.3 million grant. Overall, the agency—created by the passage of the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative in November 2004—promised some $39 million to 16 institutions. The agency is currently unable to distribute the money due to pending litigation brought by opponents of the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative.
CIRM's Research Funding Working Group lauded the Keck School's application for "the very high quality of the program director, experience of staff in research training, the commitment of the institution to developing a major effort in stem cell biology and the substantial pool of high-quality applicants." The Keck School's grant was one of several that were announced in Sacramento during a public meeting of the Independent Citizen's Oversight Committee (ICOC), the group charged with governing CIRM and the way in which it disperses the $3 billion in total funding.
"This is an exciting moment for the CIRM, as these awards mark the first step in our scientific program of stem cell research—an accomplishment we have been able to achieve in less than one year as a state agency," says Zach Hall, Ph.D., whose official appointment as CIRM's president was announced along with the grant awards. "The CIRM training program established today will be the most comprehensive training program to date in the field. It will provide a pipeline of highly trained basic and clinical investigators for the research that CIRM will fund in California."

The grant is the USC portion of a $4.3 million award to the Southern California Academic Center for Excellence in Youth Violence Prevention to continue and expand its programs. The Center, which is based at the University of California at Riverside, is a consortium of faculty from five universities including the Keck School of Medicine, the University of California at Irvine, the University of California at Los Angeles and the University of California at Santa Barbara.
With the new five-year grant, the Center becomes one of eight Comprehensive Academic Centers for Excellence funded by the CDC.

This song features a driving, percussive marching snare drum that moves the action perpetually forward. It starts with a bold trumpet melody, followed by a contemplative finger-picked acoustic guitar with light strings, and ends with a subtle electric guitar accent note for texture.
Western Soundtrack conjures up the imagery of people riding boldly into the sunset with courage, but with a hint of danger. Perhaps a conflict could be on the horizon!
The track seamlessly loops, so it's perfect for games, film introductions or credits or anything else that could use a bit of Spaghetti Western flair.

The India Facebook page of Sony Mobile is teasing a forthcoming event scheduled to be held on March 6; with the cover photo's "Everything is about to change" tagline apparently hinting at a new device announcement, especially since it takes on the famous Apple punchline, "This changes everything," which Cupertino uses during the announcement of a new product.
Despite the fact that there are, as of now, no official details about what the March 6 event will unfold, the handset that forms the backdrop of the teaser looks like the Sony's 2013 flagship Xperia Z handset, which the company first unveiled at the 2013 CES, where it was declared the "best phone at event." In addition, the incredibly-designed dust-, scratch- and water-proof handset has also received several other rave reviews.
Some of the most attractive features of the Android-based Sony Xperia Z smartphone include a 5-inch 1080p HD screen; a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor; 2GB of RAM; 16GB of on-board storage capacity; and a 13-megapixel camera.
Furthermore, the handset also includes a number of other top-of-the-line features which can be expected from any company's flagship device.
Though it is not yet certain whether Sony will launch the Xperia Z handset at the March 6 event, there is a possibility of the same; given the fact that the handset's new design element - the power button; which will likely be used for the entire Xperia line - can be seen glowing in the cover photo!

First, President Bush says he wants to increase the Army and Marines by 92,000. John McCain promised 100,000. Then Barack Obama gets on board with his proposal to add 65,000 soldiers to the Army, and 27,000 Marines. "Bolstering these forces is about more than meeting quotas. We must recruit the very best and invest in their capacity to succeed," he said in his 2007 Foreign Affairs treatise.
But no one — including President-elect Obama — has ever ventured beyond the rhetoric to explain how they would make it happen — how anybody could make that happen given the Army has already gone through all sorts of denigrating contortions to make its quarterly goals. And it generally has, painstakenly, achieved those quotas over the last few years — but at what price? We know all about the lowered standards, deceptive come-ons and the big-ticket incentives to bring new people in and retain the rest. But now the rest of the country is finding out what military families have known all along: that recruiters are killing themselves — in some cases literally — to come through on bringing in one, two kids a month. Recent reports indicate that men and women who have survived the terrors of multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan are coming home to the private hell of the recruiting office.
The Army has appointed a brigadier general to investigate allegations that commanders of a Houston-based recruiting battalion tried to cover up a toxic leadership climate and low morale after a recent string of suicides, according to a letter obtained Thursday by the Chronicle. (snip)
(Texas Republican Representative John) Cornyn had asked (Army Secretary Pete) Geren to appoint an independent investigator after he heard from numerous recruiters, and their relatives, who said they had direct knowledge of serious problems in the Houston battalion. They accused the unit's leadership of attempting to block investigating officers from meeting with material witnesses and "strongly suggesting" to subordinate officers that they should avoid portraying the chain of command in an unfavorable light, even if it meant lying in statements to authorities.
Cornyn said the constituents who contacted him also accused the battalion's senior leadership of mass punishment, organized hazing and humiliating "counseling sessions," in which recruiters who fail to fill their monthly quotas are insulted and threatened with being kicked out of the Army. (snip)
Three of the five suicides in the Houston battalion occurred within the past year and a half.
In March 2007, 25-year-old Sgt. Nils Aron Andersson shot himself to death in a Houston parking garage. Andersson, a two-tour Iraq veteran, was assigned to the Houston battalion's Rosenberg station.
On Aug. 9, Staff Sgt. Larry G. Flores Jr., 26, hanged himself in his garage. Six weeks later, Sgt. 1st Class Patrick G. Henderson, 35, hanged himself in a shed behind his house. Both he and Flores belonged to the battalion's Tyler Company. (snip)
Houston-based recruiters say they're encouraged by the general's investigation, but so far there's little evidence that all the attention will improve their daily lives in a job considered one of the toughest in the Army, especially during wartime.
The report suggests these rural East Texas recruiters didn't have easy access to mental health care — a deadly problem for many veterans living outside big population centers nationwide.
Sgt. 1st Class Bobby Dykes worked under Flores and was friends with Henderson. A few months after their suicides, he still rarely leaves the office before 8 p.m.
A veteran of Afghanistan, Dykes said he has more trouble dealing with the long hours and pressures of recruiting than he did with the dangers of combat.
"I have high hopes for change in the lifestyle out here, but progress thus far makes that possibility seem bleak at best," Dykes said.
As Obama begins to seek out the counsel of would-be foreign interventionists waiting patiently in the Democratic rushes for a seat at the table, I will be among many waiting to see how his promises to "rebuild" the military will be fulfilled. And how it will be fulfilled.

I made a pretty tasty liver side dish last night that people trying to incorporate more liver into their diets (but don't really like it) may want to try.
- Add a tablespoon of coconut oil to a cast iron skillet
- I diced an onion and browned it in a cast iron skillet along with minced ginger and garlic (to taste); be sure to let onion brown before next step
- Added quartered brussel sprouts and covered (to help steam)
- let cook for 10-15 minutes until sprouts are cooked and a little brown around the edges
- Add the liver (and juicy liver run off) directly to the skillet
- The liver will cook fast (don't over cook it!!!) as it cooks use a knife to cut it into biteable pieces while it is still in the skillet
- continue turning over the dish to keep from over cooking and to mix
- After about 4 minutes the liver should be done - remove from heat and serve!
Very tasty.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Copyright Alliance Executive Director Sandra Aistars made the following statement re: today's hearing on "A Case Study For Consensus Building: The Copyright Principles Project," to the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet.
The theme you have chosen for this first hearing to review the Copyright Act is consensus building. As an organization that unites creators across disciplines and transcends boundaries between copyright holders of different backgrounds, we agree consensus building is important whenever challenging issues are discussed. We believe, however, that the Committee needs to take one step further back.
For the Committee's work to have meaning, in reviewing copyright law you must bear in mind one thing: before there are competing vested interests to balance, and nuanced policy issues to navigate, there is an author.
The author is the core around which any well functioning Copyright Act must be constructed. Because the author will choose a path for his or her work based on the framework of laws you construct, and society will benefit – or not – accordingly.
We welcome this opportunity for a review of how the Copyright Act is serving authors, motivating the creation of new works of authorship, and the commercialization and dissemination of such works, for the benefit of our society. All three of these purposes are indispensable to a well functioning copyright system that serves consumers and creators alike. Ensuring authors feel inspired to create, that investors find value in commercializing copyrighted works and that copyright owners of both commercial and non-commercial works feel empowered and safe disseminating their works is key to ensuring an appropriate framework of laws. While the focus may begin on the author, the lives spent creating works, which enlighten, inspire, and entertain us ultimately benefit the general public and drive innovation including in media and communications technology.[1]
It is good to begin this review with a discussion of first principles – How to discuss copyright law amicably and rationally, without resorting to rhetoric and recriminations. If the choice of the Copyright Principles Project as the theme for the hearing was for that reason, then we can agree with the drafters of that report that,
"Too much discourse about copyright law in the past fifteen years has been burdened by rhetorical excesses and an unwillingness to engage in rational discourse with those having differing perspectives. The CPP has proven that it is possible for persons ofgood will with diverse viewpoints and economic interests to engage in thoughtful civil discourse on even the toughest and most controversial copyright issues."[2]
Even so, the Principles Project is of somewhat limited value to illustrate best practices on a procedural basis.[3] The Project was a self-convened effort of "law professors, lawyers from private practice, and lawyers for copyright industry firms."[4] We recognize that there are limits to the abilities of the conveners of this project to have reached all relevant parties, but we note, as have others,[5] the startling absence of any individual creators or small businesses in the group convened.
The presence of authors themselves, or of those who work with them daily is important for numerous reasons. Most obviously, it is not possible to issue spot as well and to creatively address problems if you don't understand how the framework of laws impacts an individual author's life and livelihood in the real world. A solution to a thorny issue that seems elegant to an academic considering the matter from a distance may entirely miss the mark for a small business owner who will ultimately have to create and disseminate works within the confines of that law. In fact, the Copyright Alliance membership has benefitted immensely over the years from members educating members internally about the issues they face and the ways that the copyright laws affect each of them differently.
More importantly, however, if the author's place in the creative ecosystem is to be preserved — this review will of necessity have to include a purely human element. To craft a truly great Copyright Act you will need to return dignity to authors, to preserve their place in the value chain and their right to set a path for their works. Unfortunately, the answers to those foundational questions cannot be found by examining the academic debates of well meaning lawyers.
1 See, e.g., Adam Mossoff, How Copyright Drives Innovation in Scholarly Publishing, George Mason Law & Economics Research Paper No. 13-25 (April 2, 2013). Available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2243264.
2 The Copyright Principles Project: Directions for Reform, p. 3.
3 The drafters of the CPP themselves prominently note that they have not achieved consensus, and that they mapped where they "agree and where and why we disagree" Id. at 3; that "various members of the group maintain reservations and even objections to some proposals described as recommendations in this Report;" id at 4; and that the group had "strong differences on some issues" id.
4 Id. 1-2.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- America's premier credit rating agencies re-affirmed the second highest grade for Madison County, Madison County Commission Chairman Dale Strong announced Tuesday afternoon.
"This is great news for Madison County and is a huge vote of confidence not only of our county finances but for our local economy," he said in a prepared release.
The strong bond rating, "opens the door" he added, for the commission to look into borrowing money for capital projects, listing a new industrial park and separate revenue office as possibilities.
Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's Analysts gave the county AA+ and Aa2 ratings, respectively. Both ratings are considered equal and represent the second highest level a municipality can achieve.
Tuesday's announced Moody's rating is the same as its most recent one, seven years ago. S&P did not have a recent credit rating for the county.
The news comes on the heels of last month's announcement by Moody's downgrading the credit rating for Huntsville International Airport from A2 to A3, while Standard & Poors affirmed the City of Huntsville's stellar AAA credit rating.
S&P gave the following synopsis of its findings:
- Deep and diverse economy, including Huntsville, a regional employment and trade center;
- Strong financial position with very strong reserves;
- Good income indicators and below-average unemployment; and
- Low debt levels and rapid debt amortization.
Under Alabama's constitution, counties do not have the same ability to raise taxes and revenue that cities have, meaning that an Aa2 rating by Moody's and an AA+ rating by Standard & Poor's indicates a very low credit risk and places Madison County among the highest rated counties in the state, the chairman said.
"This rating is a reflection of the strength of our community and its people," Strong said. "I firmly believe that Madison County's best days are ahead and this rating shows that some of the top analysts in the country share that same view."
Both Moody's and S&P were impressed with the commission hiring
Carol Long in November as its chief financial officer bringing 10 years of experience
in county government and 15 years as a state auditor to manage the county's
$150 million budget, he said
The agencies also liked the commission's plan to upgrade from
its "antiquated" AS 400 computer accounting system by purchasing an array of
the latest accounting software, as well as the county's history of conservative
spending, Strong said.
Another valuable point for the county was that it didn't raid
reserves while addressing rising employee healthcare and dealing with the county's
most expensive natural disaster, April 2011 tornadoes, he said.
"They see we play very tight to the vest," Strong said. "They said you have a vision, and most folks are in survival mode."
Moody's listed three challenges to the county maintaining the rating:
- Additional borrowing anticipated in near term, though amount is unspecified;
- Lack of formal capital planning and financial reserves policies;
- Pension and post-employment benefits costs continue to increase.
Moody's also said the county could upgrade its rating if it continued stable operations that add cash and reserves to the general fund while also implementing formal financial planning/policy tools.
Strong said besides upgrading accounting software, the plan going forward is to build and maintain relationship with the credit agencies, checking in annually to give an accounting of county's finances and plans.Moody's said it lowered the airport's rating because of the absence of a low-cost carrier, regional airport competition and lack of the diversity in the economy. Standard & Poors gave the city its best-possible rating with a stable outlook in advance of a large bond issue. Huntsville has now earned S&P's highest rating for five consecutive bond issues.
This article was updated at 5 p.m. with comments Strong gave in an interview, as well as items from the Moody's and S&P reports.

1. Denham Springs (17-2)
Previous ranking: 2
Worth noting: Denham Springs stole the top spot back from Walker after winning the rematch with the Wildcats, 58-47, on Friday. Senior forward Caletria Curtis' efforts in that game – 21 points and 13 rebounds – helped win her NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune's Baton Rouge Girls Player of the Week. The Yellow Jackets have now won six straight to start 2014 off right.
2. Walker (18-3)
Previous ranking: 1
Worth noting: Walker will continue to battle Denham Springs for the area's No. 1 ranking throughout the season, but for now the Wildcats sit a hair behind the Yellow Jackets after the district-opening defeat. Korey Arnold's crew has still won four of its past five, including a double-digit win against a strong Broadmoor squad. Walker will have another shot at Denham Springs in late January.
3. University Lab (15-6)
Previous ranking: 3
Worth noting: After a brutal early-season slate, U-High has continued its winning ways in recent weeks and could make a strong push to be the third team vying for the area's top spot. The Cubs opened 2014 with its second 20-plus point district win, and more of that is likely to come as Bonita Johnson's squad progresses through its 7-3A season.
4. Zachary (15-7)
Previous ranking: 5
Worth noting: Zachary began its 2014 slate with two nice wins against talented teams in Broadmoor and Scotlandville, marking the Broncos' first two wins in District 4-5A play. Zachary's lone loss in the past six contests came in a one-point defeat at the hands of U-High, which is nothing to scoff at.
5. Doyle (14-4)
Previous ranking: NR
Worth noting: Doyle finally managed to crack the Starting Five after winning nine of its past 10 games dating back to mid-December. The Tigers fell to Edna Karr in the Riverside Academy Tournament to begin its New Year's slate but followed that up with three consecutive wins to get back on track. Doyle opens district play next week against French Settlement.
OFF THE BENCH: Broadmoor (10-7) is fighting through its worst rut of the season having lost five straight games, granted, to very stiff competition. Three of the losses came to other teams in the Starting Five, but the Buccaneers will have plenty of opportunities for revenge later in the season. McKinley (12-4) had its five-game winning streak snapped Tuesday by Belaire (12-5), which has put together a nice little five-game wining streak of its own. Southern Lab (12-2) chalked up an impressive win against Ville Platte on Tuesday to increase its streak to four straight wins. The Kittens' biggest test of the year comes Friday when they host Walker. Baker (15-5) has only lost one of its previous eight games, which came against U-High. St. Amant (13-5) have yet to play in 2014, but the Gators were a talented threat early in the season and could pose problems for some schools down the stretch.

HK 990Details http://www.harmankardon.com/stereo-amplifiers/HK+990.html
Powerful, fully integrated two-channel amplifier
Featuring a high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth design for uncompromised sonic realism, the HK 990 integrated stereo amplifier outputs a cleaner, louder and more powerful sound than most amplifiers in its class. The reason is simple: by utilizing high-current capability (HCC), which provides the instantaneous current necessary to drive and control nearly any loudspeaker system precisely, the 150-watts-per-channel power amplifier can accommodate more headroom during dynamic program peaks, thereby delivering tighter bass and superb transient response, at any volume level. The end-user benefit is heightened realism for whatever music, movies and multimedia you might be listening to. EzSet/EQÔ II room equalization and system calibration ensure that, in just minutes, your specific room conditions offer the most optimal listening environment.

By leveraging high-current capability (HCC), the HK 990's150-watt-per-channel, integrated amplifier maintains the instantaneous current required to drive nearly any loudspeaker system, delivering dynamic peaks, tight bass and superb transient response at any volume level.
Fourth-generation Real-Time Linear Smoothing (RLS IV) minimizes interference during digital-to-analog (DAC) conversion through the use of two high-grade, stereo Analog Devices (AD) 1955 DAC chips – one per channel. The result is richly detailed sound, a noise level that remains locked in the non-audible frequency range and a higher level of jitter rejection.
To tailor the HK 990's loudspeaker outputs to match playback volume levels, balance and timing for your specific room conditions automatically, the EzSet/EQ auto-calibration process features an easy-to-follow menu display and a plug-in calibration microphone.
A special high-resolution synchronization (HRS) link enables jitter-free clock synchronization and data transmission between HRS-link-enabled devices like the HK 990 power amplifier and a suitably equipped Harmon Kardon® CD player. The elimination of at least one stage of digital-to-analog conversion at the CD player's output, and analog-to-digital conversion at the amplifier's input, results in clear, enveloping sound. The HRS link is simple to set up using the supplied synchronization cable.
The HK 990's XLR inputs can receive fully balanced connections that reject both external noise and internal crosstalk from adjacent signal cables. Even better, XLR inputs accommodate increased signal levels for improved signal-to-noise performance.
The HK 990 features connections for up to six analog audio devices and two analog recorders. In addition, a total of four digital inputs and one coaxial digital output ensure that the HK 990 will stay compatible with high-performance products of the future.
Two, high-quality phono inputs enable connection to record players – fitted with either an MM (moving magnet) or an MC (moving coil) cartridge – that will breathe new life into your collection of vinyl LPs and 45s. Now you can hear all of those classic albums and singles in the best audio quality.
Two dedicated outputs enable smooth low-frequency playback from external subwoofers with a dramatically increased bass response. And built-in EzSet/EQ II technology calibrates subwoofer playback to match your room's conditions, providing optimized audio no matter where the system is placed.
By accepting banana plugs, spade connectors or bare wire, the HK 990's binding-post connectors provide secure links for your speaker cables. Color-coding reduces errors when you're hooking up your speakers to the appropriate channel amplifiers.
Along with its customary heat-management system, the HK 990 includes the ThermalTrak™ thermal-tracking mechanism, which helps the internal temperature mediate the output current in real time. In addition, two ultralow-noise fans help ensure that the HK 990 always performs at its peak under varying temperature conditions.
By leveraging dual-path technology, the HK 990 lets you decide whether to run a pure analog input directly into the amplifier stages or use digital inputs through the amplifier's digital signal processing (DSP).
Along with masterfully controlling your HK 990, the IR (infrared) remote control is also designed to operate any compatible Harman Kardon CD player, such as the HD 990. There's even an IR remote extension jack so that you can program your power amplifier remotely.
Exemplifying the balance among high style, modern design and audio ingenuity, the HK 990 two-channel amplifier fully embodies the spirit of Harman Kardon innovation, a legacy that discerning audio enthusiasts have revered for almost 60 years. Harman Kardon engineers have consistently advanced the science of sound, developing products that are dedicated to quality, durability and, most importantly, generating rave reviews from audiophiles.

Creative Compensation Enables Tiny Amplifier to Drive 200-mW Loads
Recently this dilemma arose in the design of a Wheatstone bridge driver. The excitation voltage directly affects the offset and span, so dc precision is required. In this case, the application can tolerate less than 1 mV of error between the source voltage and the bridge. Operating with 7-V to 15-V power supplies, the circuit must drive the bridge with unity gain from 100 mV to 5 V.
To further complicate the problem, a variety of different bridge resistances can be used. Strain gages, for example, have standard impedances of 120 Ω or 350 Ω. With a 120-Ω bridge, the amplifier must source 42 mA to maintain a 5-V bridge drive. In addition, the circuit must be able to drive up to 10 nF. This accounts for both the cable and the bridge decoupling capacitor.
Amplifier Selection
The ADA4661-2 precision, dual op amp has rail-to-rail inputs and outputs. Its large output stage is capable of driving significant amounts of current. The data sheet specifies a 900-mV dropout voltage when sourcing 40 mA, so it should easily meet the 1.75-V headroom requirement.
While the dropout voltage limits circuit operation with low-voltage power supplies, power dissipation will limit operation with high-voltage power supplies. The die temperature rise can be calculated to determine the maximum safe operating temperature. The MSOP package simplifies prototyping, but the LFCSP package has much better thermal performance, so it should be used if possible. The thermal resistance (θJA) is 142°C/W for the MSOP and 83.5°C/W for the LFCSP. The maximum die temperature rise is calculated by multiplying the thermal resistance by the maximum power dissipation. With a 15-V supply and a 5-V output, the headroom is 10 V. The maximum current is 42 mA, which results in 420-mW power dissipation. The resulting die temperature rise (60°C for the MSOP or 35°C for the LFCSP) limits the maximum ambient temperature to 65°C for the MSOP or 90°C for the LFCSP.
The thermal performance of the die and package combination is also critical to maintaining an accurate bridge excitation voltage. Unfortunately, the performance of some op amps is severely degraded when driving large output currents. Power dissipation in the output stage causes large thermal gradients across the die, unbalancing the matched transistors and trim circuitry. The ADA4661-2 was designed to drive significant power while rejecting these thermal gradients.
Feedback Loop Stabilization
For this circuit to be effective, RISO must be large enough such that the total load impedance looks purely resistive at the amplifier's unity-gain frequency. This is difficult because of the IR drop across this resistor. The maximum size of RISO can be determined by allocating the remaining voltage headroom in the worst-case conditions. A 6.75-V power supply with a 5-V output allows for 1.75 V of total dropout. The amplifier VOH takes up 900 mV of this, leaving 850 mV left to drop across the resistor. This limits the maximum value of RISO to 20 Ω. A 2-nF load capacitance places a pole at 4 MHz, which is the unity-gain crossover frequency of this amplifier. Clearly, multiple feedback will not meet the requirements.
Figure 1. Multiple feedback topology.
A different technique for stabilizing a heavily loaded buffer is to use a hybrid-unity follower topology, as shown in Figure 2. Rather than trying to move the load-capacitance pole, this approach forces the feedback loop to crossover at a lower frequency by reducing the feedback factor. Stability is achieved by forcing the loop to crossover before the phase shift becomes excessive due to the load pole.
The feedback factor is the inverse of the noise gain, so one may conclude that this approach abandons the unity-gain signal path. This would be true if this were a traditional inverting or noninverting configuration, but a closer inspection of the schematic reveals that both inputs are driven. An easy way to think about this circuit is the superposition of an inverting gain of –RF/RS and a noninverting gain of (1 + RF/RS). The result is a circuit that operates with a signal gain of +1 and a noise gain of (RS + RF)/RS. Independent control over the feedback factor and signal gain allows this circuit to stabilize any size load at the expense of circuit bandwidth.
The hybrid unity follower circuit has several drawbacks, however. The first problem is that the noise gain is high for all frequencies, so dc errors such as offset voltage (VOS) are multiplied by the noise gain. This makes achieving the dc specifications extremely challenging. The second drawback requires some knowledge of the internal operation of the amplifier. This amplifier has a three-stage architecture with nested Miller compensation. The output stage has its own fixed internal feedback. This makes it possible for the external feedback loop to be stable while the output stage feedback loop is unstable.
Figure 2. Hybrid-unity follower topology.
By combining the operating principles of both circuits, both issues can be overcome, as shown in Figure 3. Multiple feedback separates low-frequency and high-frequency feedback paths, adding enough capacitive load isolation to minimize output-stage stability problems. The low-frequency feedback is driven from the bridge voltage through feedback-resistor RF. The high-frequency feedback is driven from the amplifier output through feedback-capacitor CF.
The circuit also behaves like the hybrid unity follower at high frequency. The high-frequency noise gain, determined by the impedance of the capacitors, is equal to (CS + CF)/CF. This noise gain allows the feedback loop to crossover at a low enough frequency where its stability is not degraded by the load capacitance. Since the low-frequency noise gain is unity, the dc precision of the circuit is maintained.
Figure 3. Bridge-driver schematic.
Maintaining the dc precision requires careful attention to the signal routing because of the large currents involved. It only takes
A practical way of dealing with this problem is the 4-wire Kelvin connection, which uses two current-carrying connections (typically called "force") to drive the load current and two voltage-measurement connections (typically called "sense"). The sense connections must be made as close to the load as possible to prevent any load current from flowing in them.
For the bridge-driver circuit, the sense connections should be made directly at the top and bottom of the bridge. None of the PCB traces or cabling should be shared between the force and sense lines. The GNDSENSE connection should be routed back to voltage source VIN. For example, if the stimulus is a DAC, then GNDSENSE should be connected to REFGND of the DAC. The GNDFORCE connection of the bridge should have its own dedicated trace all the way back to the power supply, as allowing bridge currents to flow through a ground plane will generate undesirable voltage drops.
Error Budget
Table 1. Error Budget
The third term in the table is the power-dissipation error. The power dissipated by the amplifier increases the die temperature, which causes the offset voltage to drift from that of ambient temperature with no load current. The worst-case error is calculated with the highest power-supply voltage, highest-output voltage, and smallest resistive load, as shown in Equation 1. Note that the worst-case voltage drop across the amplifier is reduced somewhat by the RISO resistor.
DC Measurement Results
Figure 4. Error voltage vs. output voltage.
The red (10 V) and blue (15 V) curves represent the performance with maximum power dissipation of 175 mW and 385 mW, respectively. As the output voltage increases, the extra power dissipation causes the die temperature to increase by 25°C to 55°C, which causes the offset voltage to drift. The shape of this additional thermal error will be parabolic since the maximum power dissipation occurs when VOUT is one-half of VDD.
The strong dependence of power supply on the offset voltage suggests that the power-supply rejection of this circuit should be considered. Figure 5 shows the error voltage as the supply voltage is swept while the output voltage is fixed. The black curve shows the lightly loaded case, which is dominated by the amplifier's power-supply rejection (PSR). For this device, the 10 µV change represents 118 dB PSR. The red and blue curves show the results when the output dissipates extra power due to being loaded with typical bridge resistances of 350 Ω and 120 Ω. The effective PSRs of the red and blue curves are 110 dB and
Figure 5. Error voltage vs. supply voltage.
The performance of this circuit clearly depends on the offset drift vs. temperature. So far, the TCVOS specification has been used for all calculations of temperature-dependent error. This assumption must be justified because die temperature increases due to amplifier power dissipation are different than ambient temperature changes. The former creates large thermal gradients across the surface of the die, which can upset the sensitive balance of the amplifier. These gradients can result in offset voltage drifts significantly worse than the data sheet specifications. The ADA4661-2 has been specifically designed to dissipate significant power without degrading its offset-drift performance.
Figure 6 shows the measured offset drift vs. temperature. The specified performance is replicated in the black curve with low power-supply voltages and high-resistance loads (–1.2 µV/°C). The red curve shows the results for a 120-Ω bridge load. The important thing to notice is that the shape of the curve does not change; it is just shifted to the left by the die temperature rise (6.4°C). The blue curve shows the results when the power supply is increased to 15 V—the condition where the circuit's maximum power dissipation can be measured. Once again, the shape of the curve does not change, being shifted left due to the 55°C rise in die temperature. The internal power dissipation is known (385 mW), so the actual thermal impedance (θJA) of the system can be calculated (143°C/W). It is important to consider the ambient temperature range of operation. The maximum die temperature should not exceed 125°C; this means that the maximum ambient temperature is 70°C for the worst-case load.

Okay, so once again, nothing to do with knit amigurumi, everything to do with me! I had my first art show last Thursday! Super exciting, right? I know, you're all on baited breath. Anyway, here's a bunch of pictures! Huzzah!
The display was a freestanding board that people could walk on either side of. Most of my works were photos, which I'm really proud of. They were in the paper, too! (Local section um, of course. . . )
Any first place too! Hooray!
Oh, did I mention my display was interactive!? Well, it was. There was writing on it encouraging people to write whatever they wanted. I was hoping for drawings, quotes, you know, artsy things. I got some really cool stuff, but most of them were really nice notes about the display and about me! It was really cool!
I caught these girls signing their names on the board, along with some flowers and a snail. Another little boy wrote the alphabet. Adults sort of thought my installation was wacky, and teens put a lot of words (which I still liked, but I liked what the little kids put the best!)
The only thing that I didn't really finish was this chair for art class. It's based on "Riding Couple," a barely known painting by the well known Kandinsky. (I really love Kandinsky. If I could collect every work from any artist and put it in one gallery, it'd be Kandinsky. That's a good question. Feel free to discuss.)
Anyway, I promise something more interesting will come later, okay?

Looking for a Major
Services for Faculty/Staff
Finding a job is not an easy task, even if you are looking for a job on campus. To make things easier we have put together a "working on campus" guide. Before we get to the steps, there are some things of which you should be aware.
- Become familiar with the phone number (270.745.2755) and location (317 Potter Hall) of the Student Financial Assistance Office - this office is responsible for determining your eligibility to work on campus (Building 38 on the Campus Map).
- Become familiar with the phone number (270.745.3095) and location (DSU 2001) of the Center for Career and Professional Development - this office can help you prepare your credentials and get ready to interview with employers (Building 26 on the Campus Map).
- As you begin the process of applying for jobs, you will need to know your social security number, local and permanent addresses and other identification and contact information.
There are three main steps to working on campus.
Step 1 - Know the requirements!
There are several requirements to work on campus.
- A current, complete Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be on file with Student Financial Assistance. The FAFSA is available in print in the Student Financial Assistance office or on-line at the FAFSA website (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/).
- Enrollment requirements: According to the Student Financial Assistance website, "During the academic year, a student must be enrolled at least part-time (Undergraduate = 6 credit hours; Graduate = 5 credit hours) to be eligible to work." This is just a small part of the eligibility requirements for more information visit the Student Financial Assistance website.
- A student must continue to make satisfactory academic progress toward a degree to remain eligible to work on campus.
- Requirements for U.S. Citizen
- Requirements for International Student
Step 2 - Find A Job
Obviously, once you have a FAFSA on file for the current academic year, you need to find out what jobs are available on campus.
- To find available positions on campus, visit the Student Financial Assistance Current Job Vacancies website or view current vacancies within the job binders in their office.
- Talk with individuals that you might know in the various offices/departments on campus to find out about current or upcoming student employee vacancies.
- Once you have identified an on-campus job that interests you, you will need to follow the directions on the job vacancy announcement (Student Financial Assistance Job Vacancy website or Job Vacancy Binders) to arrange an interview or apply for the job.
- Stop by or call the Center for Career and Professional Development office (DSU 2001, 270.745.3095), or logon to our website for help with preparing your Resume and Cover Letter, and receiving advice on Interviewing - being fully prepared and providing these documents to an on-campus employer, whether required or not, highlights your skills, shows your interest in the position, and can give you a competitive advantage.
Step 3 - Paperwork, Paperwork, Paperwork
Working on campus is like working anywhere else in these great United States and that means filling out forms and paying taxes. You will be asked to provide documentation to establish your identity (e.g. driver's license, social security card) and to complete various forms for tax and other work-related purposes.
- Student Financial Assistance has links to tax and I-9 forms available on their website.
- You will be required to complete paperwork for a "background check" and the check be completed before you may begin work on campus.
- In many offices/departments, you will also be asked to complete "confidentiality" forms.

Ghost World
Rebecca: This is so bad it's almost good.
Enid: This is so bad it's gone past good and back to bad again.
Oh no, not another teen movie I can hear you thinking… well, if this title brings a spontanious smile to your face and some fond memories of hysterical teen-comedy humor… then please… stop reading… now! Because Ghost World is a drama comedy with and somewhat about teenagers, but it's with dry humor, the kind that's appreciated nor understood by 99% of the world population.
Ghost World is based upon the original characters from cult comic book author Daniel Clowes. The movie depicts a turning point in the life of two teenage girls during the summer following their graduation from high-school. Enid (Thora Birch) and Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson) are two teenagers who have a clear view on their surroundings. A view that some of us will recognise when they were going through their teen years: the world is filled with idiotic morons. The girls spend their days mentaly harassing people around them, one of which is Josh, played by Brad Renfro. During one of their pranks, they meet the social distinctive oddball Seymour (Steve Buscemi), a lonesome geek with a compulsory urge to collect old records. Enid is strangely attracted to Seymour and she befriends this strange man, while her best friend Rebecca takes a more classic approach to life. She sets out to find a job in order to move into her own place. A turning point in their relationship.
Sound and Vision:
Ghost World has a good 1.85:1 anamorphic transfer. There are a few occasional print flaws but they aren't disturbing. The colors are warm and fit the movie well whilst the whole image remains well defined yet not too sharp. In some scenes the grain was slighty visible – right at the end, while looking at the bus bench.
As the picture is primarily dialogue-driven, your surround sound system won't have it hard. The Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack will mainly focus on the front and center part of the soundsystem, but occasionally the surrounds do kick in at just the right moment to further enhance the ambiance the director was aiming at. The music score is quite unique – a wonderful change from the normal filmscores – and clearly audible at all times. Same goes for the dialogues, but that goes without saying.
There are 5 extras on this version of the DVD release. The 'making of featurette' is quite nice and gives you a limited view of director Zwigoff and co-writer Daniel Clowes and the rest of the cast on the script. Unfortunatly I would have prefered a feature length commentary by director and/or some of the cast members.
Next to that there are 4 deleted or alternate scenes which I appreciate. A Bollywood music video is also on the DVD but while funny for a while, you'll find yourself fastforwarding unless Bollywood kitsch is your thing. Furthermore the DVD features the trailer and a cast & crew biography. Nothing to get excited about.
This movie respects its characters and offers you intelligent dialogue, something that is hard to find these days. It is unnecessary to share my views on the deeper thoughts behind the characters and why they do what they do. Instead, I urge you to discover this movie for yourself, although the word 'movie' is a little disrespectful for this filmographic story director Terry Zwigoff made.
This is a picture to cherish, to watch when you feel like watching a movie, but you don't really know what genre you feel like at that moment. Definitely worth owning, unless you actually want another teen movie.
