Whether on a family vacation or business trip, countless people enjoy golfing when traveling. Unfortunately, traveling with golf clubs can be difficult and a significant hassle. If the clubs aren't adequately protected and cushioned, they will likely knock into one another on the flight, possibly damaging them. Carrying a golf club bag around airports and through security checks is complicated, especially when traveling alone on a business trip and carrying other luggage. A number of people may decide to purchase a hard case for their clubs to protect them from getting damaged when tossed around by baggage attendants. While this may protect your golf clubs from physical damage (and even so, it won't protect the clubs themselves from coming into forceful contact with one another), it does NOT solve the issue of having to shlep your golf bag through the airport and airport security. When going through security, golf bags are nearly always opened and checked for any suspicious/dangerous items. Unfortunately, some of your golf bag's contents, such as golf balls and ball markers, are likely to get lost during this security check. If that isn't problematic enough, keep in mind that your golf club bag along with the equipment it contains (including clubs, balls, gloves, etc…) are considered NO DIFFERENT than any other baggage. Just as ordinary luggage is oftentimes lost or misplaced by the airline, your valuable golf clubs are equally likely to get lost. Furthermore, you will have to pay an extra baggage fee, just as you would if you were bringing regular luggage/suitcases. American Airlines, for example, charges $25 for the 1st checked bag (each way), $35 for the 2nd, and $100 each way for a 3rd, 4th, or 5th bag. IN ADDITION to the extra baggage fee, there is a $60 charge for bags weighing between 51-70lbs, and a $100 charge for bags weighing between 71lbs. and 100lbs.
DO THE MATH: If you are already checking (the usual) two (2) suitcases, and are planning to bring along your golf clubs, you will be paying a $100 extra baggage fee EACH WAY. Golf clubs usually weigh around 60lbs, but if your golf bag contains just a few more items, OR if you are placing your golf bag in a hard-case for extra protection, it will likely weigh over 70lbs. As a result, you'd be paying a $100 extra baggage fee AND a $100 weight fee each way.
Baggage Fee + Weight Fee x Each Way
RESULT: $100 + $100 x 2 = $400
The most convenient and reliable solution to the problems listed above is to avoid them altogether by SHIPPING YOUR GOLF CLUBS. With one phone call to a professional packing and shipping service, you can have your golf clubs/bag picked up from your home, office, or hotel, professionally packaged, and shipped to wherever you're traveling via ground or air shipping.
TIP: For an insurance claim to be honored in case of damage, your golf clubs MUST be properly packaged (packed in accordance with the shipping carrier's "proper packaging guidelines"). For this reason, it is strongly recommended you have your golf clubs professionally packed.
Furthermore, when shipping your golf clubs, insuring them is a breeze! Checking your golf bag on a flight, however, subjects it to the same insurance policy as standard baggage. Federal regulations require airlines to compensate you for up to $3,300 if they damage your baggage or its contents. HOWEVER, according to an article on the official Frommer's website¹, "the airline will attempt to depreciate the value of your loss."
Avoid dealing with unreliable insurance, negligent handling of your clubs, and the headache of airport security! Don't risk your precious golf clubs getting lost and ending up on a baggage carousel in Siberia! Whether it be in Las Vegas, Hawaii, or any other city, the next time you wish to bring your golf clubs along on a family vacation or business trip, ship your golf bag/clubs rather than taking them on a flight… you'll be happy you did when they arrive safely and on-time at their destination.

Puppet horses rise above human folly in 'War Horse'
Early in "War Horse," in town at the Marcus Center through Sunday, a wild foal is penned within a paddock and sold.
It's an obvious if effective foreshadowing of what's to come, in which this foal grows into a spirited thoroughbred named Joey — before repeating his initial confinement, first as a haltered packhorse and then within the barbed wire crisscrossing No Man's Land, in the killing fields of World War I. »Read Full Article(5)

'Seed Pod' invades Frank Lloyd Wright in Madison
Madison — Brenda Baker's big, twiggy "Seed Pod" has been nestled into the pristine geometry of Frank Lloyd Wright's Monona Terrace since October. It's huge — about 71/2 feet tall and 10 feet wide — and its unruly ovoid form dominates the concrete esplanade, bristling with a defiantly organic energy.
Placed with an almost comical symmetry in the center of the walkway, perfectly aligned with both Monona Terrace's rooftop fountain and the Capitol dome in Madison, it conjures up strangely opposite impressions. On the one hand, it's like a giant tumbleweed, blown in by a freak storm. At the same time, I can't escape the way it echoes an alien spacecraft (especially with Wright's retro-futuristic building as a backdrop), like the one that landed on the National Mall in "The Day the Earth Stood Still." »Read Full Article

Let's assume that you don't have any living children yet. What would you do?
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep...
I would die before having an abortion. Anything and everything to save my fetus. Anything! It's what I signed up for when I had sex.
That's right "the Goddess of Wisdom." As in, I made that shit.
I know a woman who did this and had several living children.
It's one of those things I don't know what I would do if I had no children but with children, I would have terminated the pregnancy.
I have 2 kids already who need a mother. As heartbreaking as it would be I would treat the cancer.
I'd have the abortion. I could have 3 more kids after - or adopt.
I'm a mother - not a martyr. My life is not worthless.
But it is her choice. I did choose to risk my life to CTT with my first (diagnosed with AFLP - which can kill your liver) - but something with a near certainty of death - nope.
Now - if my odds of dying were high enough even with chemo - then maybe I could end up deciding that CTT was the better option.

Behind The Scenes Of The Telecommunications Miracle: An Empirical Analysis Of The Indian Market
The authors analyze the demand and supply characteristics of the Indian telecommunications market, in order to assess the potential effectiveness of universal access policies in developing countries. They provide some empirical evidence on the supply and demand characteristics, using a small time-series-cross-section dataset on Indian States. They suggest that the price elasticity of demand for mainlines might be sensibly higher than the levels usually found in developed countries, while the crucial role of income and other sociodemographic variables seems to be confirmed.

HARRISBURG - The state House debated for less than two hours Wednesday on a bill to privatize wine and liquor sales in Pennsylvania, setting the stage for a historic vote on the issue.
House members could vote as soon as Thursday afternoon on a plan backed by Gov. Corbett to turn over the state's 600-plus liquor stores to the private sector. Utah is the only other state with government-run wholesale and retail liquor operations.
It was not clear whether Corbett's fellow Republicans had the votes to pass the bill. But Wednesday's 108-91 defeat of a Democratic bid to gut the bill suggested that the GOP may have the 102 votes needed to send it to the Senate.

The city's paramedics are planning to sue over Mayor Nutter's efforts to keep them out of the firefighters union.
The dispute goes back to a ruling by the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board last month that gave the city the right to shift paramedics out of the firefighters union. That meant the medics would have to switch to the health plan that nonrepresented city employees get, which union representatives say is not as generous.
Nutter administration officials say their decisions are in keeping with efforts by paramedics to be held to a different overtime standard than firefighters are.

Q: Is it normal for my penis to swell after I have gone in for Hernia surgery? I am asking because this is what has happened to my brother and he is extremely worried.
A: A swollen penis after hernia repair surgery is not normal and is a symptom of a complication of the procedure. The swelling occurs from a collection of fluid at the operation site that has spread to the penis. The swelling usually resolves on its own but your brother should return to his surgeon nonetheless to ensure that there are no other issues that need to be addressed. This swelling could also be the result of a collection of blood. This complication is more serious and requires the surgeon to evacuate the clotted blood from the wound and arrest any bleeding vessels.

The picture in the New York Times obit showed his wall of Emmys — I am sure he had a museum full — all thanks to his relentless drive and unlimited energy.Later in life, Wallace would acknowledge that he was a manic depressive, but it was that manic part that pushed him to interview a who's who of who was and to expose endless bad guys often with gimmicky confrontational interviews that showcased his considerable talents for decades on "60 Minutes," America's most watched news magazine.

Best Head Shop
Local head shops have been hit pretty hard in recent months. The Department of Homeland Security has way too much free time on its hands and has been harassing stores that sell what they consider to be "drug paraphernalia." Unfortunately for the proprietors of these establishments, the department has not come out and said exactly what is illegal, making any merchandise that you can use to smoke into a potential business liability. A number of shops have closed, and those that remain open have pretty much cleared their shelves of everything but a meager selection of rolling papers, incense, and gifts. That's why we were overjoyed to discover that Grateful J's still has everything that the short-term memory of a pothead can remember needing. From bowls in Pyrex, metal, corncob, and wood to multihosed hookahs and futuristic vaporizers, J's carries everything you need for your next hit of the kind bud. A VW van's weight in Grateful Dead merchandise is inside, but our favorite spot is the Boca Raton store's showcase of handcrafted art glass -- goblets, paperweights, and pendants. If you look one shelf lower, you'll see a collection of handmade glass sex toys for use after that late-night hash spliff, when you and your honey are feeling nice and relaxed.

First off, today is my good friend Tim's birthday! Tim and I met 8 years ago (oh my gosh, time FLIES!) ONLINE. Yep, we were both apart of the Open Diary back before blogging was just a little thing. I happened onto Tim's blog where he was all nuts about this girl and I just thought he was super sweet. So we started writing back and forth. And then we started calling each other. We talked on the phone multiple times a week and ended up becoming really good friends.
This picture is from the first time Tim and I met face to face, 5 years after meeting online. Five years of writing back and forth, phone calls, loves and heartbreaks. And now here we are – older (ugh), wiser (maybe?) and living in the same state (Tim and his now fiancee LeAnne are from Michigan but moved to Wisconsin when LeAnne accepted a job in Madison). I gotta say, although we don't call as much (hell Tim, we pretty much suck with the phone calls lately) I still think of Tim as such a good friend and someone who knew me way back when.
Anyway, a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Tim. I hope this year brings you lots of good things (and hang out time with us AND more telephone calls). Love ya Tim!
Now… I figured you all would want to know about what's up with Maurices. So here ya go (I know, I'm a little long winded sometimes, what can I say, I'm a writer).
Well, it was completely different from Target. With Target I was really nervous, slightly uncomfortable and the interview(s) themselves were very short (the second one lasted all of 5 minutes). I think I felt uncomfortable because I generally thrive more in a smaller store or workplace – I like to know everyone I work with, to form a bond with them. I feel like it's hard to do that in a big store like Target. Also, I've heard things about the way Target is run and I worried that it wouldn't be a perfect fit. However, I need a job and right now I will take whatever I can get.
My Maurices interview lasted AN HOUR. And not because it was all interview but because the two managers I interviewed with were AWESOME. I interviewed with the store manager and an associate manager. And it was one of those interviews where I just felt like I instantly clicked with both managers. In fact, the store manager, Shannon, and I both got our dogs at the same place. So we chatted about that. And all three of us are total bookworms, so there were big conversations about that. Needless to say, I felt darn good after that interview.
However, when I applied I simply sent in my resume and they need an application on file. They forgot to give me one during the interview so I had to go back yesterday to fill one out and do another little thing. I actually think that's GOOD because I got to give them a second impression. And it was both Shannon (the store manager) and Amy (the other manager that interviewed me) so I did not mind at all coming back.
Both times I made sure to wear Maurices clothes, accessorize, look put together, etc. And both times there was no nervousness, it was just really easy. And I want the job SO bad! Maurices seems like such a great company to work for!
So now I wait. Ugh! Waiting again! Continue to keep fingers, toes, etc. crossed for me! This is a job I want BAD!
P.S. Today is the LAST DAY to enter the MD Sparks Giveaway. If you haven't yet, you better hurry up! The winner will be announced TOMORROW!

The Ghost of Louis Brandeis on How to Teach Law School
Hello again Co-Op! I'm happy to be back for a short guest-blogging stint that was, er, supposed to start in January but Danielle graciously allowed me to postpone into February. I'm hoping to make up for the radio silence in the last couple of weeks of the month. Anyway, without further adieu, today's topic: Over at Prawfsblawg, a vibrant debate is going on about the perennial subject of how to best teach law school. There's a lot of good things to be said on both sides of the that debate. I'd like to call attention in particular to the comment by Ray Campbell, which is devoid of the absolutes that tend to abound in this area. I've expressed my own thoughts on this topic during previous go-rounds here and here and here.
But by "perennial," I meant that this debate is really ancient. It far pre-dates the recent financial crisis and downturn in the legal market. It pre-dates the Carnegie Report in 2007. It pre-dates the MacCrate Report in 1992. It pre-dates the 1921 Carnegie Report. Indeed, it pre-dates most law schools altogether. Benjamin Spencer's recent article on the skills vs. doctrine debate — which includes the question of who would be the best teachers for whatever it is the students should be learning — shows that it goes back to the 1870s, and an ABA Report that concluded that the existing method of study — one taught mainly by professors with substantial practice experience — was "too brief for useful purposes," and that the schools were inviting "unfit" and unprepared students to fill their seats, were giving "examinations, which are such only in name," and were allowing "degrees [to be] thrown away on the undeserving and the ignorant."
I was reminded of the length of time these sorts of discussions have been going on when I recently stumbled across a letter from the man pictured above, Louis Brandeis, to Dean Christopher Columbus Langdell of Harvard Law School. Langdell, of course, is possibly the single person most responsible for the form of legal education we have today. It was his idea at Harvard to replace classes taught by practicing lawyers with classes taught by academic law professors, hired soon after graduation after perhaps only a short judicial clerkship, and to extend the length of the program from eighteen months to three years. In particular, it was Langdell's idea to teach law as a science, devoted to learning the general principles that pervade the law as revealed in cases, but not necessarily constituting the law of any particular jurisdiction. That is, Harvard would focus on a generalized notion of tort law, contracts law, etc., one that had the advantage, as Charles Whitebread used to say about the Model Penal Code, of being equally the law nowhere.
Brandeis was a product of that model. He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1878, eight years after Langdell had started reforming Harvard and the first year the program was extended to three years. But a little more than ten years later he thought substantial alterations should be made to the curriculum. Brandeis worried, in effect, that Harvard Law students were not learning enough actual law:
To Christopher Columbus Langdell
December 30, 1889 Boston, Mass.
My Dear Prof. Langdell: My experience as one of the examiners for admission to the Suffolk bar has impressed upon me the importance of adding to the instruction at the School a thorough course on the peculiarities of Massachusetts law. I am aware that the introduction of such a course involves apparently a departure from the present policy of the School, but my experience and observation have convinced me that such a course would increase the usefullness as well as the membership of the School, and I therefore venture to submit to you with some detail my views of the proposed course, and the reasons which induce me to advocate it.

This charming luxury destination is the perfect spot for an Old Montréal visit.
Relax in a historic stetting that dates back to the late 1800s. Back then, the area was the downtown of the city, as all the goods and supplies were ferried through the port. Nowadays, the district is chockablock with art galleries, cute cafés, restaurants and upscale hotels. There are 63 rooms, with several types of suites available. However, all of them exude luxurious modern design with a truly boutique hotel experience. The rooftop Sky Terrace is a wonderful place to check out the sights and sip a martini, while the street-level Versus restaurant is a feast for the senses with spins on classic French cuisine. Ask reservations for special suites that include a cozy fireplace, and don't forget to peruse the fabulous poems of famous Québec writer Emile Nelligan (whom the hotel is named after), which adorn their walls.

Fantasy owners are always looking for the next big thing, which is why they so love the prospects. After all, prospects haven't failed yet, and there's plenty of failure to go around in baseball. So it came to pass that, early in the 2013 season, when a switch-hitting shortstop in the Houston Astros system was looking like a potential five-category superstar, I starting talking up Jonathan Villar as "the next Jimmy Rollins." The comparison looked pretty silly for a few years, as Villar struggled to make contact and hit for average, displaying only modest power. Hey, sometimes we make statements on TV, radio, podcasts or online that look pretty ridiculous.

The present invention relates to echo cancellation with the aid of a number of cascade-connected adaptive filters, each of which produces an individual output signal for cancellation of a respective part of an echo signal appearing on a line which is included in a four-wire loop.
Echo cancellers have recently obtained greater importance with the introduction of digital mobile telephony. Digital mobile telephones give rise to a long delay which causes any echo that may be generated to be highly disturbing. The time taken for an echo canceller to adjust itself to cancel-out an echo is called convergence time. The convergence time of an echo canceller is an important parameter for the subjective speech quality and is sometimes considered to be the most important measurement of the quality of an echo canceller. An echo canceller which converged rapidly at least in the majority of cases, for instance in the case of local calls, would be an attribute under all circumstances.
Probably the adaptive algorithm most used for echo cancellers is the Normalized Least Mean Square algorithm, NLMS. Normally, a long FIR-filter is used so as to cover practically all occurrent impulse responses. A typical filter length is 512 taps, which provides a total possible impulse response of 64 ms. The filter output signal is subtracted from the signal which contains an echo in a known manner, whereafter the difference signal thus formed is used to update the filter. When applying the NLMS-method, the filter converges in about 300 ms.
In the majority of cases in practice, however, only a part of the filter coefficients are distanced from zero when the filter has converged. This applies particularly to local calls, since practically the whole of the impulse response of the echo path will then lie in the first 10-30 taps. In certain cases, the impulse response is preceded by a long delay, a so-called flat delay. Gliding windows represent one method proposed to reduce complexity and to decrease convergence time. This method is based on attempting to estimate the magnitude of a flat delay and thereafter placing the filter where the impulse response of the echo path lies, with the aid of a variable delay. The advantages of this method are that a relatively short filter which is also able to converge rapidly will suffice. The drawbacks are that the delay cannot be readily estimated and that it is not possible to cancel multiple echoes, i.e. several echoes having delays of mutually different values.
IBM Technical Disclosure Bulletin, Vol. 31, No. 10, March 1989, describes on pages 157-158 a multiple echo canceller. This echo canceller includes a number of relatively short filters coupled in a cascade. Each such filter generates an output signal which is subtracted from the signal that contains an echo in a manner such that the echo will be reduced successively with each filter, depending on the impulse response. There is thus formed a number of difference signals which are each used to update the filter in which it is formed. However, the ability of the echo canceller to cancel the echoes is limited because the filters do not always converge satisfactorily. This is because a filter in the cascade-connected filter chain will sometimes be disturbed by the echo that cannot be cancelled by this filter but which instead shall be cancelled by one or more filters which lie further away in the filter chain.
The object of the present invention is to provide a method and an echo canceller with which echo cancellation is achieved with the aid of a number of cascade-connected filters. The filters shall be capable of converging rapidly, at least in the case of echo paths that have relatively short impulse responses, and shall also provide effective echo cancellation for different occurrent impulse responses, for instance impulse responses of mutually different lengths and impulse responses caused by multiple echoes. According to known principles, a rapid convergence can be replaced with a stable and secure convergence. Accordingly, when practicing the invention, it is also possible to obtain a stable and secure convergence which, is relatively rapid at the same time.
The aforesaid object is achieved by calculating for each filter a special quality-measurement so as to ascertain which filters are required for echo cancellation at that moment in time, wherein solely the output signals from such filters are enabled or coupled so as to be used actively to reduce the echo concerned. There is thus formed an echo-reduced signal which is equal to the difference between the original, echo-including signal and the sum of the output signals of those filters which are used actively for echo cancellation at that moment in time. All of these filters are updated with the echo-reduced signal, whereas those filters which are not used actively at that time are updated with signals which are equal to the difference between the echo-reduced signal and the output signal of respective filters.
The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional echo canceller for cancelling echoes in a four-wire loop; FIG. 2 illustrates a known echo canceller which includes a number of cascade-connected filters; FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplifying embodiment of an inventive echo canceller; and FIG. 4 illustrates a device for providing control signals for one of a number of switches included in the inventive echo canceller.
FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional echo canceller for cancelling echoes in a four-wire loop. Reference numerals 11 and 12 identify two lines included in a four-wire loop. The echo appears in an echo path represented by a block 13. A digital, adaptive filter 14 receives on its input a signal x which is also applied to the echo path 13. An echo estimate y is formed in the filter and is subtracted in a subtraction device 15 from an echo-including signal d on the line 12, thereby forming a difference signal e. The filter adjusts itself in a known manner, i.e. the filter coefficients are updated according to some appropriate adaptive algorithm with the aid of the difference signal e.
FIG. 2 illustrates a known echo canceller which includes a number of cascade-connected filters. The echo canceller should coincide with the echo canceller described in the aforesaid IBM Technical Disclosure Bulletin. As in the case with the echo canceller illustrated in FIG. 1, a signal x appears on an upper line 11 and an echo-included signal d appears on a lower line 12, the echo path being represented by a block 13 as in the earlier case. The filters are referenced 21-23 and their output signals y1-y3 are subtracted from the echo-included signal in subtraction means 24-26, whereby the echo is reduced successively with each filter in dependence on the impulse response of the echo path. There is formed thereby a number of difference signals, e1-e3, which are used to update their respective filters. The difference signals obtain the following values: e1=d-y1, e2=d-y1-y2, and so on.
As earlier mentioned, the filters are not always able to converge satisfactorily, however, because they are sometimes disturbed by echoes that shall actually be cancelled by one of the other filters.
FIG. 3 illustrates an example of an inventive echo canceller. Those means that find correspondence in FIGS. 1 and 2 have been referenced in the same way as said means. The illustrated echo canceller includes a number of cascade-connected filters 311 -31N, which produce the output signals y1 -yN. The filters will preferably be connected to the upper line, i.e. to line 11, principally in the same way as the filters in FIG. 2, even though it may seem that they are connected in some other way. This is explained by the fact that the filters in FIG. 2 should be connected to the line 11 via delays of mutually different lengths.
Each of the filter output signals is applied to a respective controllable switch 321 -32N. There is provided for each of the switches a subtraction means 331 -33N whose negative input is connected to its respective switch, and whose positive input is connected to a line 34. The output signal from a filter whose switch is in its right-hand switching position, see for instance the switch 322, is not used actively to reduce the echo, but merely functions to produce a filter updating error signal. The error signals for filters whose associated switch is in its right-hand switching position are formed in the subtraction means 33 as the difference between the signal on the line 34 and the filter output signal. In the illustrated case, this applies to the error signals e2 and eN. In an initial stage of a converging process, for instance at the beginning of a new telephone call, all switches occupy their right switching position. The following error signals are thereby obtained: e1 =d-y1, e2 =d-y2, and so on, because the echo-included signal d on the line 12 also appears on the line 34 in the initial stage. The signal on this line is called etot for reasons made apparent hereinafter.
In the initial state, i.e. before a filter is enabled for use actively to cancel an echo, each of the filters adjust in an endeavour to cancel the total echo. In this regard, each of the filters converge to a certain level, because one filter, any filter, in the filter cascade will be disturbed generally by some part of the total echo that should actually be cancelled by one or more of the other filters.
A special quality measurement is calculated continuously for each filter, so as to be able to establish which filters perform useful work. In turn, the quality measurements, or values, are used to form switch control signals s1 -sN. A description of how the quality measurements and the control signals are formed will be described in more detail later on with reference to FIG. 4. When the quality measurement of a filter exceeds a specific value, the filter concerned shall be coupled-in or enabled for use actively for echo cancellation, i.e. shall be activated for echo reduction, which in the illustrated case means that the switch shall be set to its left-hand switching position. If the quality measurement then falls beneath a second, lower value, the filter may optionally be disabled, i.e. the switch may optionally be reset to its right-hand switching position. It is also conceivable, however, to allow the enabled filter to remain enabled during the remainder of an ongoing call.
The output signals from those filters which, at that time, are enabled to reduce the echo are added in a number of addition means 351 -35N-1. The resultant summation signal is subtracted from the echo-included signal d in a subtraction means 36, wherein an echo-reduced signal, etot, will appear on the line 34. In the illustrated example, the filters 311 and 31N-1 are enabled so as to reduce the echo appearing in the signal d. The sum of the output signals of the enabled filters is, in this case, y1 +yN-1, meaning that the echo-reduced signal etot becomes equal to: d-(y1 +yN-1). It will be understood that the output signals of the enabled filters may, instead, be subtracted from the signal d in a number of series-connected subtraction means between the lines 12 and 34.
Because the output signals of the enabled filters do not appear on the inputs of the subtraction means 33, all enabled filters will obtain equally as large error signals which coincide with the echo-reduced signal etot on the line 34. This applies to the filters 311 and 31N-1 in the illustrated case. The error signal for each of the not-enabled filters 312 and 31N is equal to the signal etot decreased by the filter output signal. In the illustrated example, there is obtained:
e1 =eN-1 =etot =d-(y1 +yN-1)
e2 =etot -y2 =d-)y1 +y2 +yN-1)
eN =etot -yN =d-(y1 +yN-1 +yN)
Thus, when a filter is enabled, its output signal will also be used to update the remaining filters. The fact that all enabled filters receive equally as large error signals, etot, all of the error signals of these filters can be caused to go down to zero or to the vicinity of zero, therewith providing effective echo cancellation. None of the filters will be disturbed by any part of the total echo that shall be cancelled by other filters.
FIG. 4 illustrates an example of an arrangement for forming control signals for one of the switches 32 illustrated in FIG. 3. Thus, one such arrangement is required for each filter included in the echo canceller according to FIG. 3. The echo-reduced signal etot, the filter output signal Yn and the filter error signal en are applied to the arrangement illustrated in FIG. 4. The absolute magnitude of some of the signals is formed in absolute magnitude forming means 411 -413. Each of the signals is then filtered in its respective lowpass filter means 421 -423. The signals deriving from the signals etot and yn are multiplied together in a multiplier 43, thereby forming the signal |etot |*|yn |. The signal deriving from the signal en is squared in a quadrating means 44, to form the signal |en |*|en |. The signal from the multiplier 43 is divided by the signal from the quadrating means 44 in a division means 45. The aforesaid quality measurement is thereby formed, this measurement being referenced qn. When ignoring the absolute magnitude formations, the quality measurement will obtain the value qn =(etot /en)*(Yn /en).
The quality measurement qn is applied to an input of a comparator 461 and to an input of a comparator 462. The quality measurement is compared in the comparator 461 with a threshold value tr1 for enabling the filter concerned, while the quality measurement is compared in the comparator 462 with a lower threshold value tr2 for disenabling the filter. The output signals of the comparators are applied to a logic means 47 which generates a control signal sn and delivers the signal to the filter. For instance, a logic one is generated when the filter shall be enabled, and a logic zero is generated when the filter shall be disenabled.
As before mentioned, however, it is not necessary to disenable an enabled filter during an ongoing call. The comparators 46 and the logic means 47 can therefore be modified accordingly, meaning that the comparator 462 can be omitted, among other things.
The quality measurement of the filter which is able to cancel the greatest echo will be the first filter to exceed the threshold value tr1. This is because the filter in question, e.g. filter 311, will have a relatively large output signal, y1, and a relatively small error signal, e1 =d-y1. As a result of enabling or coupling-in the first filter, the error signals for the remaining filters will decrease by the value of the output signal y1 of the enabled filter, since this output signal is subtracted from the echo-included signal d in the subtraction means 36. The quality measurements of the remaining filters will therewith increase. Correspondingly, the error signals of those filters that are not enabled will, of course, also decrease for each new filter that is enabled after the first enabled filter, whereby the quality measurement of the not-enabled filters will increase successively. Thus, it can be said that the smaller echo will be initially hidden by the larger echoes. Filters which are unable to perform useful work of any consequence, i.e. filters which are only able to cancel relatively small echoes receive, however, output signals which are so small that their quality measurements will never exceed the filter enabling threshold value tr1. Such filters will therefore never be enabled.
When a filter is enabled, its quality measurement will decrease slightly, owing to the fact that the signal etot on the line 34 is reduced by the filter output signal. However, disenablement of a filter as a result of a decreased quality measurement can be prevented by appropriate dimensioning of the filter enabling threshold value tr1 and the filter disenabling threshold value tr2.
However, the quality measurement can also be calculated in a way different from that proposed above. Conceivable methods in this regard are those in which only the output signal of the filter, e.g. y1, is divided by the filter error signal, e.g. e1, or in which solely the coefficient values of the filter are investigated. This latter can be effected, for instance, by forming the sum of the absolute magnitudes of the coefficient values or of the squares of said coefficient values. Naturally, suitable proportionality constants can also be inserted when calculating the quality measurements. It is also conceivable to calculate the quality measurements for enabled filters in a different way to that of calculating the quality measurements for not-enabled filters. However, irrespective of the manner in which the quality measurement is calculated, the quality measurement will always disclose the importance of the filter in question to the current echo cancellation, i.e. it constitutes a measure of the useful work that the filter is able to perform or perhaps has already performed in echo cancellation.
Since only those filters which perform useful work in cancelling echoes are enabled to diminish the echo, there is obtained a rapid convergence, at least in most cases. However, echo cancellation will always be effective, since all enabled filters receive identical error signals. Consequently, the convergence of one individual filter will not be influenced by the echo that should actually be cancelled by another filter. This means that all error signals will be small. Furthermore, in practice, a sufficient number of filters will always be enabled, which means that echoes which have long impulse responses can also be cancelled. Naturally, the number of filters that are enabled will depend on the echo concerned. It can be mentioned that when all filters are enabled, this corresponds to the use of one single long filter. As will be apparent from the aforegoing, such a filter is unnecessary, other than in exceptional circumstances, since the convergence time would, in general, be unnecessarily long.
It may be convenient to use 8 or 16 cascade-connected filters. If the maximum number of filter taps is to be 512, each of the filters will then be required to have 64 or 32 taps.
As mentioned in the aforegoing, a rapid convergence can be replaced with a stable and secure convergence, and consequently it is possible with the present invention to obtain a stable and secure convergence which, at the same time, is at least relatively rapid.
The invention is not restricted to the aforedescribed and illustrated exemplifying embodiment thereof, since modifications can be made within the scope of the following claims. In addition to the aforesaid modifications, it is conceivable, for instance, to use a single arrangement according to FIG. 4 in common with all filters. This arrangement could then be used in accordance with a time multiplex principle and form control signals for one switch at a time. When filters which have already been enabled shall constantly remain enabled during an ongoing call, it is, of course, unnecessary to calculate newquality measurements for those filters that are already enabled.
Naturally, it may be convenient in practice to allow the aforedescribed functions to be performed in a digital signal processor instead of in the separate means illustrated in the Figures. Such digital signal processing is per se normal in conjunction with adaptive echo cancellation.

LA police threaten 'further action' if not paid to staff USC gamesGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday 29 mins ago
The Los Angeles Police Protective League issued a letter to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and Police Commissioner Matthew Johnson saying the police who take care of security for USC home football games "will be compelled to take further action" if they are not paid for their services.
According to the letter, on-duty police officers have been steered away from their normal duties to help police USC home football games without additional compensation.
"It is our understanding the USC does not have an agreement with the City of Los Angeles regarding the payment for these police services. This 'gift of public funds' must end," the letter read.
"The lack of payment for police services, which has spanned several years, violates both city code and state law. The Board of Police Commission has failed to stop the misuse of police resources that has diverted officers from their regular assignments to provide free security to a university with a $4 billion-dollar endowment, and to a football program whose conference, the PAC 12, has a $250 million a year television contract with ESPN."
When reached by Yahoo Sports, USC issued the following statement:

Abuse charges against LSU DL Davon Godchaux dropped
The charges against LSU defensive lineman Davon Godchaux in connection with a domestic abuse case involving him and his girlfriend have been dropped. Hillar Moore, the district attorney for East Baton Rouge Parish, announced the decision Tuesday afternoon.
Godchaux was arrested early Monday morning and charged with false imprisonment and domestic abuse battery/child endangerment. His girlfriend also was arrested because of conflicting stories. According to the girlfriend, Godchaux grabbed her and tossed her backward twice. She had a swollen lip and a red mark near her neck, according to a police report. The girlfriend also said Godchaux refused to let her leave with the couple's 10-month-old child.
He was indefinitely suspended following the arrest and did not practice Monday or Tuesday. LSU interim coach Ed Orgeron said Wednesday that Godchaux would be rejoining the team later that day.
Nebraska governor says he'll meet with protesting Huskers player
Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts said via Twitter that he would like to meet with one of Nebraska football players he criticized for kneeling during the national anthem prior to last Saturday's game against Northwestern.
Michael Rose-Ivey, DaiShon Neal and Mohamed Barry, three African-American players, kneeled to protest racial injustice. Ricketts called the act "disgraceful" and "disrespectful," which prompted a tweet from Rose-Ivey.
@GovRicketts I would love to sit down and further the discussion with you if you are available..
— Michael Rose-Ivey (@Rose_IveyNB15) September 27, 2016
Ricketts responded to the request late Tuesday night.
.@Rose_IveyNB15 Thanks for reaching out. Direct message me your information, and we will get something set up right away!

OSU's T. Boone Pickens says OU president David Boren should retire
Oklahoma State donor T. Boone Pickens, whose name is on the Cowboys' stadium, has started the Bedlam rivalry a little early this year with some choice words for Oklahoma president David Boren.
Pickens told the Austin American-Statesman's podcast, "On Second Thought" that "maybe it's time for David to retire" after a report surfaced that Boren had changed his mind about Big 12 expansion.
"I've known David forever. He likes to talk. He gets a little bit confused sometimes," Pickens said.
Boren was one of the most outspoken voices in favor of expansion 18 months ago. However, a report in Sports Illustrated's Campus Rush on Tuesday suggested Boren might be changing his position amid pressure from his board. Boren answered the story by stating, "Oklahoma has not yet taken a position on expansion."

UNC linebacker Allen Artis says he's not a rapist ahead of court appearance
Suspended North Carolina linebacker Allen Artis maintained his innocence Tuesday while meeting with the media ahead of his Thursday court appearance for charges of sexual battery and assault on a female student.
Artis is accused of raping Delaney Robinson on Valentine's Day in the Ram Village apartments on UNC's campus. Robinson held a press conference on Sept. 13 stating police had done little to help her after she reported the rape. She said she felt police gave preferential treatment to Artis because he was a football player. Shortly after her appearance, Artis was indefinitely suspended from the team and he turned himself into police.
Artis told the Associated Press he wasn't a rapist and that he was "surprised, hurt, distraught" over the allegations.
Artis' lawyer, Kerry Sutton, said Artis had passed a polygraph when asked about the incident.
Artis said he did not see Robinson drinking and that she was conscious during consensual sex.
Report: Ed Orgeron fired OC Cam Cameron, not LSUGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday 2 days ago
New LSU interim coach Ed Orgeron was the person who fired offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, not the university, according to a report in the New Orleans Times Picayune.
According to the report, Orgeron was given the choice about the direction of the Tigers' offense and he opted for a change in the offensive system, which didn't included Cameron's assistance. Orgeron promoted tight ends coach Steve Ensminger to offensive coordinator and pushed Cameron, who was good friends with Miles and had been LSU's offensive coordinator since 2013, out.
Ensminger has been an offensive coordinator in several other places, including McNeese State, Louisiana Tech, Texas A&M and Clemson. He's been the Tigers' tight ends coach since 2010.
Orgeron laid out LSU's new offensive philosophy in his introductory press conference on Monday and said his goal is to score points, something that has been severely lacking for the Tigers' this season.

Kennesaw State player has epic freak out on first-ever flight (Video)Graham Watson at Dr. Saturday 2 days ago
The Kennesaw State University football team took its first-ever flight Saturday — the program is only two years old — and redshirt freshman linebacker Keagan Jordan wasn't feeling it.
The two-year letterman had never flown before and even before the plane left the ground in Georgia heading for Pittsburgh, Jordan started to regret his decision to come aboard.
So what did his teammates do to calm him down, they filmed his entire freakout and were treated to an unexpected ending.
Excuse my laugh, but it was his first flight and he passed out ???????????????????? pic.twitter.com/G1XRjXdtcu
— Zeezus (@TheDayOfZay) September 23, 2016
Yes, Jordan, who clutches his chest and yells, "Oh! Oh! Oh my God! We ain't gone make it!" appears to pass out much to the amusement of his teammates.
Rest assured Jordan was OK and did play in the 36-28 victory over Duquesne.
Now you can decide whether you think this video is real or fake, but Kennesaw State spokesman Mike DeGeorge somewhat vouched for its authenticity.

Roundtable: Remembering Les Miles' time at LSUGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday 3 days ago
One of the quirkiest and most colorful coaches in college football was let go from his job Sunday. Les Miles is a national treasure; at LSU, he was poor at clock management but quick with the one-liner. The school fired him on Sunday after he started the season 2-2. Miles' dismissal was long overdue, but it doesn't make it any less difficult.
So for this week's roundtable, our panel looks back on the decision to fire Miles and their favorite Les Miles moment.
Pat Forde shared his thoughts on Les Miles in a piece Sunday evening, but he also added some thoughts about Miles as a person and a coach:
Everything about Les was just a little off. But charmingly so.
(Pat Forde)
If you're going to fire a guy, I guess it's better to do so after a 2-2 start than a 9-3 season.
My favorite memory of Miles is his 2013 honor of Columbus Day. This is not St. Paddy's Day. It's a different day entirely.

Arizona RB J.J. Taylor lost for the season with ankle injuryGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday 4 days ago
Arizona freshman running back J.J. Taylor suffered a broken ankle during Saturday's loss to Washington and will miss the rest of the season.
Taylor started in place of Nick Wilson, who was sidelined by an ankle injury against Hawaii last week. In Wilson's stead against the Rainbow Warriors, Taylor rushed for 168 yards and a touchdown. He had 97 yards and a touchdown against the Huskies before his injury.
"Extremely frustrating," UA coach Rich Rodriguez said following the Washington loss. "I mean, J.J. Taylor breaks his ankle. This guy's going to be lights out, is lights out, and will be whenever he comes back."
The Wildcats' running back position is woefully thin. Orlando Bradford, who was the co-starter at the beginning of the season, is no longer with the program after being charged with multiple felony counts of domestic violence. Zach Green is the Wildcats' last healthy scholarship running back. He had six carries for 19 yards. Tyrell Johnson, a receiver, had five carries for 16 yards, but had a key fourth quarter fumble. Johnson played running back in high school and prep school, but hasn't played the position in his two seasons with the Wildcats.

LMFAO, i'm dumb. "cho?"
I haven't played this game yet. I might rent it, not sure. I think I'm more into realistic baseball games, such as MLB 2007 that I might pick up.
lol, this is horribly off topic
A quick google image search turned up a "john cho".....so, I assume you think I'm gay vagrant? haha
Nah, that's me.
LMAO no no. I thought it was the kid who did the virginia tech shooting. Because I know he had pics of himself pointing a gun.Originally Posted by Brawny
all of you azns look the same.

Bahhaha, I promise I won't sue.
meh, I secretly like the double barrel shotgun avatar better, but popular demand forced me to use the revolver.
Meh, I pretty much have to agree with you though. I've lived around white people a lot more than asians, lmfao.
anyways, back on topic. I prefer arcadey games..
Me and my friends always talk about how we wish we had an asian friend so we could make him build us robots, teach us ninjitsuOriginally Posted by Brawny
back on topic. I normally like my baseball games realistic because I am a huge baseball fan, but I still found this game to be very fun.

I hate Azn stereotypes....mostly because it's true. I know martial arts, and I am a nerd. LMFAO.. not quite up to making robots though. and I can wrangle a gun like cho. and game like that south korean (probably relation for all I know) who died of dehydration. LMFAO
well then, I'll have to pick it up then. I'm currently on the bandwagon atm, Tigers FTW! although IMO, ordonez shouldn't start
God I hate the tigers.Originally Posted by Brawny

Well...i can't say much about them twins
any reason? the awesome pitching (including the one and only pine-tar sporting Kenny Rogers)... or maybe the recent drug bust. LMFAO
