BAD AXE -- Huron County Sheriff Kent D. Tibbits continues to warn residents to remain aware of fraudulent telemarketers.
He said his office receives numerous complaints from citizens and merchants every day.
A recent increase in calls prompted Tibbits to remind residents that his professional organization, the Michigan Sheriffs' Association, does not conduct telephone solicitation. "Nor does the Michigan Chiefs of Police or the Michigan state police," he said.
Tibbits recommends residents call the Consumer Protection Division of the attorney general's office at (877) 765-8388 or the Federal Communications Commission Enforcement Bureau for Consumer Complaints at (888) 225-5322 to register complaints about unethical telemarketing tactics.

The conclusion was slightly unexpected. We tested some cables made by manufacturers like Accuphase, Fadel Art, Unison Research or Vodoo Audio and also some DIY cables made by my friend himself which has very good skills in this.
The best combination for our ears was:
- power cords for CD player and amplifier: DIY
- interconnect: DIY
- speaker cables: Unison Research N5 (single wired)
It was a very musical combination, with no harshness and a delightful fluidity.
Unfortunately my friend took back his cables when he left...
Finally, here is my final setup...
It is a dedicated room, made with my own personal sense of design... so it's a bit -how'd I say- basic... but it sounds great!
Sorry, cannot edit my previous message.
Here I try to post something better
Sound Front-end
and here the electronics
System is composed of
CD Emm Labs CDSA SE
Tuner Magnum Dynalab The Etude
Preamp Pass XP20
Poweramps Pass XA100 (not .5!)
All cabled Kimber Select (1121 interconnects and biwiring with 3033 and 3035) and XLO Reference as powercords.
Looks like a killer system. I bet the class A Pass amps are great with your Harbeths.
Hi Carlo,
Looks like you have the little harbeth between the rack. My dream machines.... :-)
Hi Tudor,
I saw that your cd player is on your Luxman amplifier. As the Luxman runs quite hot, don't you think it's a better idea to separate them? The Luxman will have more ventilation and can run cooler.
By the way, nice SHL5! I really like the eucalyptus finish.
P.s.: I am referring to post #379.
P.p.s: 3 posts without moderation. I'm glad to see that! Thanks for the confidence.
Hi Sebastien,
Excuse me for the late reply, I saw your question just now. The amplifier and CD player are normally separated, as you can see in my previous photos (post # 366). It was only an accidental situation, to make handier the cable testing.
Hi banyon100,
I couldnt say that the sound is definite better with or without the fronts. Anyway SHL5s sound delightful (in my opinion)! I think that the problem is more for eyes than for ears.
Thanks for your kindly assessments!
This is my M40.1 system. Balanced from beginning to end. All tube, I listen to 90% vinyl.
VPI Superscoutmaster sig. w/super platter and Dynavector 507 arm
Koetsu Rosewood signature Platinum cartridge
Dynavector XX2 MKII cartridge
RAM modified Esound E5 CDP
BAT REX preamp
BAT VK-P10 phonostage
VTL MB-185 signature amps
Cables are AQ Skys and Mont Blanc
VPI 17F record cleaner
Dedicated room, and 60 amps of dedicated power lines.
Hi everyone,
I live in Thailand.My Harbeth rather old but It makes me very happy.
I'm a member of a small hifi web site in Thailand Name GOODSOUNDHUB.COM This is a group of people who have a passion and is intended to improve the sound quality with emphasis on the development in power systems.
My system consists of
JADIS Orchestra
Esoteric X-03se
Siltech LS-188 MKII SATT Speaker Cable
Modify Interconnects from Siltech LS-188 MKII SATT with Bocchino connector
Purist Audio Design 20th Anniversary contego power cable
Fim Gold power cable
Ensemble isolink duo ac powerline filter
PS Audio Ultimate Outlet AC conditioner
Klang: beautiful system! I can see your fastidious attention to cable dressing and power supplies!
HI Klang, nice setup. Your HL Compact look pretty and beautiful.
"Bath with Music"
Klang very interesting system especially with its obvious importance given to the cables.( I'm thinking the percentage of the systems overall cost must be heavily biased towards them). Those modded Siltech LS-188 MKII SATT with Bocchino connector seem interesting.
Could you elaborate what benefits such an approach has given your system and possible what other cables you have tried.
I speak as someone who's thinking of trying some Siltech's soon. Thank you.
Hi Klang
Harbeth HL Compact - My Favourite Speaker
It looks so beautiful and fresh
Very nice set-up
Hi Klang, nice setup.
Sorry for the late reply.
Thanks everyone. I like my HL COMPACT a lot. It is also in good condition and sounds great always.
My friends and I focus on the development of the electrical system. Using high-quality cables. And reduce vibration as much as possible as the main method.
Personally, I tried Cardas, NBS, MIT, Van den hul, Oyaide, Acoustic Zen, JPS, Nordost, Furutech, Kimber etc.
My most favorite AC Power Cord was Purist Audio Design and FIM.
IEC power connectors of my PAD cable is changed to Oyaide F1 and M1 Cryogenics by PAD which enhances the sound quality much better.
While the speaker cable and interconnects that I like most is Siltech, which have very high quality conductors.
So I take Siltech G3 LS-180 welded to the FIM power cord. The sound was very impressive.
Ensemble isolink duo and PS Audio Ultimate Outlet also have been modified by Siltech G3 LS-180. In addition, both of them have been put the special Line filter produced by my friend, called "ULTIMATE TON GSH FILTER"
Inlet of Ensemble Isolink is changed to furutech Fi-09 R and outlet was pierced and replaced with Oyaide aluminium plate and Wattgate 381 receptacle.
This is a system of my friend. He is committed to the development of power system significantly. He used Naim CD5i and Naim Nait 5i with Rogers LS3/5a 11 Ohm Biwire + AB1.
Here's my room. May not see all the photos, need to register first.
Thanks Klang. As you might be aware a number of the members here are rather skeptical on the benefits of such excessive attention to these details.
I'd be interested to know what you feel your system gives you beneficially as opposed to say if you had invested instead ( for probably less in fact) in a pair of current Harbeth 40.1s but without the 'focus on the development of the electrical system. Using high-quality cables. And reduce vibration as much as possible as the main method.' but just used more 'basic' QED79 type cables etc.
I ask with genuine interest as I'm undecided presently on wether to invest my limited available funds on your approach or the more conventional option of a speaker upgrade and you have hopefully some actual experiences to give us.
web site, that sells porcelain cable stands, describes the rationale for employing them.
These elevators are non-conductive and will also assist in cable management. They are very appealing to the eye and you will hear a better focus and blacker background. The detail preserved will be exceptional for all types and makes of cabling.There is no practical excuse for not isolating & elevating your cables off the floor. We here great reviews over and over from Audiophiles that have spent thousands of dollars in cabling, and then found massive improvements after installing these cable stands.Would be wonderful to learn if Klang has performed A-B comparison tests.

Road work is a gas, gas, gas
Kitsap County Public Works crews had to close Levin Road N.W. in Silverdale Monday afternoon after another work crew accidentally hit a power line.
Doug Bear, a spokesman for public works, said a crew from Cascade Natural Gas accidentally hit an underground powerline.
The gas companys workers did take the proper precautions and had the site marked for gas and electricity lines before beginning the work, but thats not always foolproof, Bear said.
Some of the older underground power and gas lines are harder to detect, so sometimes the markings arent exact. In recent years, however, underground lines have included metal covers so they are easier to detect, Bear said.
The gas companys crews were using a backhoe to excavate the site. The county closed the road so its crews could get the repair work done as soon as possible, Bear said.
He expected the road to be reopened by the end of the week.
Drivers will be happy to note that county work crews also are near completion on Newberry Hill Road, where two separate projects are under way at the same time.
On one project, a private contractor is improving the railway crossing near Newberry Hill and Provost roads. Once the railway work is finished, there will be a much-needed traffic light installed at Provost and Newberry Hill roads.
On the county side, the county hired Pope and Sons, a contracting firm, to build the retaining wall, which is almost finished. In addition to the retaining wall, a climbing lane also is being installed for the westbound trucks and slower vehicles.The contract was for $2.4 million.
There will be delays on Newberry Hill Road until the work is completed, which should be at the end of the month. Flaggers will be on site to help direct traffic.

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says the Senate will take a final vote Saturday afternoon on legislation that would overturn the military ban on openly gay troops.
The vote on ending the "don't ask, don't tell" policy is set for 3 p.m. before senators turn to a nuclear arms treaty with Russia. Passage would send the military measure to the White House.
Senators cleared the way for final action with a 63-33 vote earlier Saturday to move the bill ahead.
The House passed an identical version of the bill this week.
Repeal would mean that, for the first time in American history, gays would be openly accepted by the military and could acknowledge their sexual orientation without fear of being kicked out.
More than 13,500 service members have been dismissed under the 1993 law.
Rounding up a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate was a historic victory for President Barack Obama, who made repeal of the 17-year-old policy a campaign promise in 2008. It also was a political triumph for congressional Democrats who struggled in the final hours of the postelection session to overcome GOP objections on several legislative priorities before Republicans regain control of the House in January.
Obama says that policy undermines U.S. national security and violates "the very ideals" that members of the armed services risk their lives to defend.
A final Senate vote is set for 3 p.m. Saturday after a test vote in the morning set the stage to send the measure to Obama to sign.
The president says ending the ban will mean that "thousands of patriotic Americans" won't be forced to leave the military "despite years of exemplary performance, because they happen to be gay."
He also says many thousands more won't be "asked to live a lie in order to serve the country they love." "As Barry Goldwater said, 'You don't have to be straight to shoot straight,'" Reid said, referring to the late GOP senator from Arizona.
Even after the measure were to become law, the policy change wouldn't go into effect right away. Obama and his military advisers would have certify that the change wouldn't hurt the ability of troops to fight, and there would also be a 60-day waiting period.
Some have predicted the process could take as long as a year before Bill Clinton-era policy is repealed.
Sen. John McCain, Obama's GOP rival in 2008, led the opposition. Speaking on the Senate floor minutes before the vote, the Arizona Republican acknowledged he didn't have the votes to stop the bill. He blamed elite liberals with no military experience for pushing their social agenda on troops during wartime.
"They will do what is asked of them," McCain said of service members. "But don't think there won't be a great cost."
In the end, six GOP senators broke with their party in favor of repeal. Republicans supporting the bill were Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Olympia Snowe of Maine, Scott Brown of Massachusetts, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, George Voinovich of Ohio, and Mark Kirk of Illinois.
West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, the only Democrat to oppose repeal, did not vote.
The GOP lawmakers swung behind repeal after a recent Pentagon study concluded the ban could be lifted without hurting the ability of troops to fight.
Advocacy groups who lobbied hard for repeal hailed the vote as a significant step forward in gay rights. The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network called the issue the "defining civil rights initiative of this decade."
Supporters of repeal filled the visitor seats overlooking the Senate floor, ready to protest had the bill failed.
"This has been a long fought battle, but this failed and discriminatory law will now be history," said Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign.
The Pentagon study found that two-thirds of service members didn't think changing the law would have much of an effect. But of those who did predict negative consequences, a majority were assigned to combat arms units. Nearly 60 percent of the Marine Corps and Army combat units, such as infantry and special operations, said in the survey they thought repealing the law would hurt their units' ability to fight.
The Pentagon's uniformed chiefs are divided on whether this resistance might pose serious problems.
Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos has said he thinks lifting the ban during wartime could cost lives.
"I don't want to lose any Marines to the distraction," he told reporters this week. "I don't want to have any Marines that I'm visiting at Bethesda (Naval Medical Center) with no legs be the result of any type of distraction."
Adm. Mike Mullen and Marine Gen. James Cartwright, the chairman and vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, respectively, have said the fear of disruption is overblown. They note the Pentagon's finding that 92 percent of troops who believe they have served with a gay person saw no effect on their units' morale or effectiveness. Among Marines in combat roles who said they have served alongside a gay person, 84 percent said there was no impact.

The market is so skittish right now that peopleneed to find safer havens to invest their money. Ithink that REIT's offer a very attractive return andwill attract investors over the coming months. Andwhen the money rotates in, I believe that PZN will benear the top of the list because of its exceptionalgrowth potential as well.Given today'sannouncement PZN offers a 12% annualized dividend yield (11%when you subtract the 5 cent special dividend). Whereelse can someone get that kind of return and stillhave capital appreciation potential?Nowhere.Enjoy the ride back.StephenReitmeisterEditor of the Reitmeister Investment Newsletter(RIN)http://shrike.depaul.edu/~sreitmei - Free RIN Update available
<Picture: Ydelayed 20 mins -disclaimerFriday March 5, 1:56 pm EasternTimeANALYSIS-REITs still lose out to hot growth stocksBySuchita NayarNEW YORK, March 5 (Reuters) - Theworst storm to hit U.S. real estate investment trustsin more than two decades appears to have blown over.But investors who abandoned ship are refusing to comeback, leaving REIT stocks adrift.Given howInternet and other high-flying technology stocks candouble in one day alone, investors have ignored the10-20 percent annual total return that trustshistorically promise, analysts say. The National Associationof Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) equityindex fell 19 percent last year, its worst drop since1972.``(REITs) are a dull story in a very sexy market,'' saidJeffrey Donnelly of Everen Securities.``The onlycatalyst pulling this sector back will be one of relativevaluations,'' he added. ``People will get tired of buyingcompanies at 80 times earnings and might take some moneyoff the table and put it in companies with moreconservative and consistent valuations.''REITs, whichown a portfolio of properties and are required to payout 95 percent of their cash flow in the form ofdividends, hold the promise of consistent income forshareholders. They have delivered at least a 5-10 percentgrowth in funds from operations, a key measure of theiroperating earnings.``Investors don't want to playdefensive when they can get 20-30 percent returns --sometimes ever larger -- in a day from frenetic stockactivity in sectors like the Internet,'' said Jay Leupp atBancBoston Robertson Stephens. ``That's more than what REITsare expected to appreciate in an entireyear.''But some think the tide for the beleaguered sector --once considered a safe haven -- could turn later thisyear as people realize its inherent value. Most REITsare trading at a discount to the value of theirphysical assets.Since the beginning of the year toThursday's close, the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter benchmarkreal estate index (^RMS - news) has fallen by about 5percent, compared with the Dow Jones Industrial average(^DJI - news) and the technology-laden Nasdaq market(^IXIC - news), which have gone up some 3percent.Most REITs have hit rock bottom, such as shopping mallowner Simon Property Group Inc. (NYSE:SPG - news),which set a new 52-week low of $24.25 onThursday.Few others, meanwhile, have managed to stayafloat.Mortimer Zuckerman's Boston Properties Inc. (NYSE:BXP -news) shares ended 6 cents higher at $32.81 onThursday, near a year high of $36, while Sam Zell'sApartment Investment and Management Co. (NYSE:AIV - news)closed 50 cents lower at $38, near its year high of$41.63.Some analysts argue that the group has become highlyoversold amid the possibility of a strong recovery in thesecond half of the year. Fears of a looming economicrecession -- which rocked the sector last year -- appear tohave dissipated, while demand for space remains strongin most markets. The credit crunch that curbed REITexpansion plans in 1998 also appears to haveabated.But investors continue to pull capital out of thesector, causing mutual funds that own REIT stocks to selltheir shares, dealing another blow to the companies,said Christopher Haley of First UnionCapital.Tero Tiilikainen of SNL Securities said the REIT storyin 1999 is going to be ``an operations story,'' withtrusts focusing on internal growth and placing a premiumon solid management teams andliquidity.------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to love Imprudence. It has all the features I need and it should be fine for my purposes. However, I crash when I am using it. I have copied the llkdu over to my Imprudence folder which is said to improve stability but honestly that only made my problems worse. Not only am I crashing randomly for no apparently reason but I am also crashing every time I TP. I am so frustrated.
I am going to log and read. Good night.

I know you're not going to like this answer... but I am still using 1.23 and I get along fine without all the features. I walk around on ultra with my draw distance at 256 even on busy sims and I almost never crash.

I am so spoiled at this point Eli. I really would be sad to have to go back to 1.23. I am going to try to figure out why I keep crashing or possibly try LGG's Emergence viewer if I can't manage to get Imprudence to work for me.
Its frustrating because everyone else seems to run Imprudence so easily. grrrrrrrr

Oh heck, Chestnut. Go back to Emerald...I did :p

Believe me I am tempted to go back to Emerald as it is still the best viewer I have used. I promised myself I would not until the team got back on the TPV directory and for now I am sticking with that plan.

LOL Ari. I actually used Viewer 2 for about three weeks. I really tried to use it and to be honest there were many thing about it I liked. However, I cannot abide the way communication works and the use of screen real estate is used by the side bar makes me miserable.
I did try to use 2.0; I just couldn't do it.

I've tried a few options and gone back to Emerald. Until I know for sure that Emerald is the anti-christ I am sold on its features and useability.
It works for me. And I'm right miserable replacing it with anything else no matter HOW MUCH HEAT I take for still using it.
:( Hear you... I wrote an article on Imprudence and had high hopes. It's graphic rendering is so unreliable for photography and machinima.. I just can't use it.
And viewer 2.0? Mmmkay... not happening.

Biology Labs
This collaboration has advanced from the creation of classroom teaching/explanation tools to the creation of tools that can be used for student directed learning and to provide authentic assessment of concepts.
The earliest of these was the Protein Purification Lab which allows the instructor to provide the student with a virtual lab experience where they can be given a unique solution in a beaker and asked to develop a purification scheme to obtain some protein in its pure form. The results of their work can be submitted to the instructor for grading.
In addition, we are developing simulation environments that facilitate multiple, linked representations of concepts to be used in different learning contexts. They will allow guided inquiry as well as student directed experimentation and data analysis. These environments can be used as stand alone teaching tools as well as becoming part of the interactive components of an online Modern Biology being created in the OLI system.
Materials listed by category
Protein Purification Practice Lab
This virtual lab provides the student with a virtual lab experience where they can be given a unique solution in a beaker and asked to develop a purification scheme to obtain some protein in its pure form. (The classroom version allows the results of their work to be submitted to the instructor for grading).
Protein Folding
This is an experiment to study the effect of temperature on protein stability. Alter the temperature using the slider bar and record the experimental fraction unfolded that is presented in the output box. From this data you need to determine the ∆S and ∆H for unfolding using van't Hoft plot.
Molecular Interactions
Dissociation of Weak Electrolytes
Some molecules are weak electrolytes and exist in a reversible equilibrium between the starting molecule and its dissociated parts. For molecules that are weak electrolytes and act as acids (proton donors), the ratio of the products of the dissociated parts and the parent molecule is a constant (K) in neutral water for each separate molecular structure.
Equilibrium of MO complex formation
Equilibrium state as determined by protein and ligand concentrations: This simulation allows you to explore the equilibrium between free protein, ligand, and the complex, and how ligand concentration affects the equilibrium.
Ligand Binding
Ligand Binding
Enzyme Catalysis
Enzymes bind to substrates in a manner similar to the way myoglobin binds oxygen or the estradiol binds to the estrogen receptor, but enzymes can go one step further. In this case the ligand is specifically referred to as the substrate (the molecule that the enzyme will convert to product) and it binds to a specific binding region of the enzyme referred to as the active site. Once bound, the ligand, or substrate, can either simply reversibly come off the enzyme, or it can be converted into a new compound or product.
Currently Unavailable
Membrane Permeability
The introduction of a cell or liposome to the solution places a barrier to the molecules. As three different molecules diffuse to equilibrium in the following simulation, they encounter the lipid bilayer depicted by the horizontal membrane across the center of the stage. Note that one type of molecule passes freely through the lipid bilayer while the second type of molecule only occasionally passes into the membrane and is trapped within. The lipid bilayer is totally impermeable to the third type of molecule. These molecules move through the membranes via passive diffusion.
Osmosis: Isotonic Equilibrium
Cells continually encounter changes in their external ionic environment and will spontaneously respond by attempting to equalize the concentration of ions on the inside and outside of the cell. Because the plasma membrane (lipid bilayer) is significantly less permeable to ions than water, the establishment of an equal concentration of the ions on either side of the membrane is accomplished by the net movement of water toward the higher concentration of ions to reduce the concentration. This movement of water in response to an imbalance of solute (ion) is referred to as osmosis.
Future work:
Protein Purification Turorial
The current Protein Purification Lab is used to test the students mastery of designing protein purification schemes to accomplish certain optimal outcomes. The Lab does not instruct the students in the various concepts necessary to successfully complete the Lab.
Simulation Tools
We are working on our Simulation Environment to allow it to model more molecular behaviours. In addition, we are working on the external interface and documentation so that others can author their own student activities within the environment.

Syracuse, N.Y. — Franklin Howard, a guard from the Class of 2015, will announce which college he plans to attend on April 14 — his birthday.
Howard, a 6-foot-4 guard who plays for Paul VI Catholic High School in Fairfax, Va., includes Syracuse among his final suitors.
I AM HAPPY TO SAY I WILL BE MAKING MY COLLEGE DECISION ON MY BIRTHDAY APRIL 14 #OhioState #Syracuse #Gtown #Virginia #Maryland #NCST ððð𯗠Frank Howard (@Jesussss_) March 31, 2014
Howard, a four-star prospect according to various recruiting services, tore his ACL during the summer league circuit last season and is easing his way back onto the basketball court. He has been described as a shooting guard and a point guard. His AAU coach, Keith Stevens, said Howard's passing skills, combined with the volume of guards in the Team Takeover program, made Howard primarily a point guard.
"He's definitely a point guard," Stevens said. "He's a very good passer. He has a very good feel for the game, he's athletic and he makes shots."
Stevens said Howard "is close" to returning to 100 percent physically after rehabbing from the ACL tear. He missed his entire junior season at Paul VI.
"We're not going to rush him back," Stevens said. "It's a slow process."
Stevens said Howard was keeping his college decision "close to the vest." He attended SU's Orange Madness (Syracuse's version of Midnight Madness) last fall.
Syracuse has secured Class of 2015 commitments from 5-star prospect shooting guard Malachi Richardson and 4-star prospect forward Tyler Lydon .
Two current SU players were members of Stevens' Team Takeover program: Jerami Grant and Michael Gbinije.
Here's more video of Howard:

BOSTON - Dr. Bill Ravanesi, a Longmeadow resident, is among those being honored for his contributions to health care direction and policy.
Following up on his 2012 award from the health care coalition Health Care Without Harm, Ravanesi is the 2013 Environmental Health Hero Award recipient, the organization announced on Thursday.
"Bill is one of the most selfless and devoted activists I have ever met," coalition president and co-founder Gary Cohen said in a statement. "He epitomizes the work celebrated by the Health Care Without Harm's Environmental Health Hero Award. He has been one of the critical anchors of the organization since its inception and has consistently created innovative programs that have moved across the country."
According to the organization's website, HCWH is an international coalition of more than 508 organizations in 53 countries, working to transform the health care industry worldwide by implementing "ecologically sound and healthy alternatives to health care practices that pollute the environment and contribute to disease."
The Environmental Health Hero Award given to Ravanesi recognizes an individual whose professional accomplishments have significantly contributed to advances in environmental health science or policy. The award was presented at CleanMed, the nation's largest conference on health care sustainability, which is taking place in Boston this week.
According to HCWH, Ravanesi has made significant contributions to human health in a "long career of activism and achieving social change through action and the arts," including work to document the United Farm Workers California Farm Labor struggle. Ravanesi composed a photo documentary entitled "Breath Taken: The Landscape and Biography of Asbestos" to document, among others, his own father's death from mesothelioma associated with asbestos exposure.
Ravanesi has been with HCWH since 1997 and has more than 30 years of experience in the non-profit sector covering health care, public health and environmental issues. Currently senior director of HCWH's Health Care Green Building and Energy Program, Ravanesi co-coordinates the Boston Green Ribbon Commission's Healthcare Working Group, assisting Boston hospitals to reduce energy use and greenhouse gases emissions and to become champions for climate change.
Other awards presented at the conference include:
- 2013 Charlotte Brody Award- Patricia Butterfield of Seattle, Wa.

Diffusion Labs is an enterprise whose mission is to research, analyze, and abstract complex systems; advance knowledge and understanding of systems theory; and develop fuzzy expert systems for a range of social and industrial applications.
The vision of this enterprise is to promote soft computing solutions which increase the efficiency, knowledgeability, and functionality of intelligent agents, equipping them with a means to improve the quality of life for whom those agents serve.
The core disciplines exercised by this enterprise include thermodynamics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, computational intelligence, systems theory, information theory, and systems biology.
Computational Intelligence
Diffusion Labs is a member of the IEEE, and as such encourages professionals to learn more about computational intelligence by subscribing to the IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine.
Artificial Intelligence 2.0
Computational intelligence (CI) can be thought of as sub-symbolic artificial intelligence (AI). While AI focuses on the high level symbolism of information, CI focuses on how units of information are related to one another, in addition to the collective value they represent. This is a useful departure from classical AI, as it provides a more scientific framework for investigation.
Neural Networks
This view of intelligence is derived primarily from neural networks where a cognitive state is represented as a multidimensional vector of neural unit activation (probability potential) values, and knowledge is represented as a matrix of neural unit connection strength values. The concept of the neural network originated as an effort to explain biological cognition, and has been successful in modeling many natural connectionist functions. Neural networks, in contrast to the circuits of most electronic hardware, exhibit what is referred to as neuroplasticity: an ability to undergo autonomous adaptation and modification, or more simply, learn.
Hebbian Learning
One popular mechanistic convention by which neural networks learn is known as Hebbian-style learning. Hebb's rule, introduced by Donald Hebb in 1949, attempts to describe how the strength of natural and artificial neural unit connections increase in response to simultaneous activation or potentiation. It forms the basis for several more modern theories of associative learning and neuroplasticity models such as Bienenstock-Cooper-Munro (BCM) theory and the Generalized Hebbian Algorithm (GHA).
Fuzzy Systems
These mechanisms for learning are prominent in fuzzy systems, where continuous truth values are defined by input variables mapped to fuzzy set membership functions. Traditional control systems are generally rigid and myopic, requiring a rigorous framework to map their input variables to their output. When a rule base is used in combination with fuzzy sets, fuzzy systems can make highly effective decisions given incomplete or delayed input values through the use of inference.
Bayesian Inference
The inductive logic of choice for many has its origins in Bayes' theorem. A theorem which relates the conditional and marginal probabilities of two random events. Bayesian statistics is sometimes used in the course of machine learning where a prediction of posterior input values is assigned a probability defined by the product of the prior input value probability and posterior input value likelihood. As a result, Bayesian networks are often used to represent a belief system that can be queried for knowledge.
Evolutionary Computation
Perhaps the most promising strategy for solving problems through system optimization involves evolutionary techniques. These techniques are typically metaheuristic and intensely recursive. Some techniques such as evolutionary algorithms deal primarily with highly interconnected domains, while others like swarm intelligence, self-organization, and cultural algorithms deal with decentralized or fragmented domains. Evolutionary techniques have already proven very effective, and sometimes have even outperformed traditional expert systems by large margins.

AXIS, Alabama -- SSAB will unveil its new quenching line at a ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday morning at SSAB Alabama Steelworks in Axis.
The Swedish specialty steel maker said the ribbon cutting will mark the official start of its quenching and tempering line for steel plate, though SSAB began quenched and tempered steel production for customers in August.
The line is part of a $220 million, 275,000-square-foot expansion of the Axis steel mill, which began in November 2010 and was completed this summer.
SSAB said the line will allow the company to strengthen more steel produced at the mill. SSAB already has a smaller heat treating facility in Axis.
The hardened steel sells for higher prices and is often used in heavy-duty applications like mining and construction equipment.
SSAB officials said the new line will increase its capacity of quenched and tempered steel up to 220,000 metric tons annually. The plant's smaller line already has a 100,000-ton yearly capacity.
President of SSAB Americas Charles Schmitt said earlier this year that the company's ambition is to satisfy a growing North American demand for a more durable steel and to expand its reach to South American and Asian markets.

James Wilbert Smith was convicted in Madison County Circuit Court in February 2013 and appealed his conviction and life sentence that has no chance of parole.
Smith was convicted of killing Bertjenski "B.J." Peterson and Ronnie Pugh Jr., who were shot in their home at 2802 Hester Lane on Aug. 23, 2008. The two men were marijuana dealers, according to trial testimony, and often had large amounts of marijuana or cash in the home.
The house was ransacked, according to investigators.
The case against Smith hinged on drops his blood found at the crime scene. There was no other evidence produced linking Smith to the killings but prosecutors argued that even if Smith wasn't shown to have fired the fatal shots he was at the scene and involved in the murders.
In his appeal Smith argued that there was not enough evidence to establish his "intent" to kill the victims, which is necessary to sustain a capital murder conviction.
But the appeals court disagreed, noting that prosecutors told the court that it was clear from the evidence that Smith had not acted alone at the crime scene. The two victims had been subdued and tied up before being fatally shot.
The appeal argued that even if Smith were at the scene - based on the blood found - the mere presence at a scene is not enough to establish criminal culpability.
But the appeals court disagreed, noting the blood was found in more than one location and on a pair of scissors, and that a police investigator, months later, noticed a scar on Smith's hand from a cut. The court cited earlier opinions in noting that an "accomplice" has to have taken some part in the commission of the crime.
The court said Smith's blood was found in different locations and investigators suggested it seemed to be drying when it was discovered.
The appeals court said that Smith moved around the house and apparently handled the scissors in an apparent search for drugs or cash. In finding that Smith was at the scene around the time of the shooting, the court cited trial testimony by one witness who said the house wasn't ransacked when he was there, shortly before around the time of the shooting
The appeals court cited earlier Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals opinions in its argument that the evidence in a criminal conviction has to be viewed in a light favorable to the prosecution's case.
"In determining the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain a conviction, a reviewing court must accept as true all evidence introduced by the State, accord the State all legitimate inferences therefrom, and consider all evidence in a light most favorable to the prosecution," according to the 1998 Ballenger vs. State opinion cited by the court.
"The test used in determining the sufficiency of evidence to sustain a conviction is whether, viewing the evidence most favorable to the prosecution, a rational finder of fact could have found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt," according to the court's citation of the 1992 O'Neal vs. State case.
The court said when viewing the evidence in the light "most favorable to the prosecution" it would not have been "unreasonable for the jury to have inferred that Smith was present at the crime scene when the victims were shot and that he participated in the ransacking of the victims' home."
The court said the jury could have made "a reasonable inference" that the blood on the scissors suggested that Smith could have used the scissors to cut the fabric of the couch in a search for drugs or money.
The court said that "alternatively" since a Huntsville Police Department investigator noticed an old cut on Smith's hand "approximately five months after the shootings" a reasonable jury could have "inferred that Smith was cut with the scissors during a struggle with one or both of the victims before they were shot."
Susan James, the Montgomery-based attorney who filed Smith's appeal, was not immediately available for comment this afternoon.

This weekend I had the distinct pleasure of mocking-up some of that fancy Neutraface stainless steel for my house number/sign. Letter space aside, I think some Minwax and a taller piece of oak is in order…but I'll know better once it's off the carpet and on the lawn.

You've got to love a pub that offers a "snug" — a quiet little room set aside for women to drink in discreetly, unnoticed by gossipy passersby.
Today, of course, a woman's wine glass no longer signals the unapologetic spiritual apathy it did a century ago, but the snug concept is still a good one.
Frankly, we find the whole idea of an oasis particularly critical at holiday time, whether you desperately need a place to escape your obnoxious brother-in-law or are just seeking a neutral gathering spot for the whole clan.
Egan & Sons is an excellent choice for both needs, a better than typical interpretation of the friendly Irish New York pub (check out the subway-influenced tile floors).
It's an upscale pub that offers bold museum-quality artwork, homemade beers and adorable baby carrots, yet manages to do so without pretension. (It's hard to be pretentious when you have "mushy peas" on the menu.)
It's a well-loved local hangout, so successful that it's recently opened a seafood spot, Halcyon, next door, and a second Egans in West Orange.
It's easy to understand why — it's unfussy here, a building designed with lots of little parties in mind, with several rooms (meaning lots of cozy tables), a boisterous bar in the middle and that aforementioned snug.
It's a city scene, really — simultaneously private yet bustling. Your neighbors won't bother you, but their laughter will be infectious.
And the food? Better than you'd expect. The menu mixes Irish farm food (bangers and mash and cottage pie) with more modern standards (goat cheese napoleon, falafel).
But even standard pub fare gets gourmet tweaking — chicken wings with maple syrup, burgers with organic beef. Our thoroughly retro iceberg wedge with blue cheese dressing ($10) came with chunks of premium Cachel blue cheese. And the rich and buttery hanger steak ($17), from grain-fed Arizona beef, was accompanied by a lovely medley of baby vegetables.
A thick and mild homemade potato-leek soup ($6) emphasized potatoes rather than leeks. The plump scallops ($23) were sweet, although they were accompanied by a sturdy buerre blanc sauce that tasted as if it had been corrupted by too much flour or another thickening agent.
A brazenly large wedge of cheesecake ($7) managed to evoke both New York and Philly styles; it was hearty yet creamy, sweet and rich, and far too much to consume at once. Warm sticky toffee pudding ($6) is so good it deserves a better name — it's more of a deep, rich and moist coffee cake than a pudding.
Egan & Sons is the kind of restaurant you choose for its attitude, when good fun is your top priority. It's nice to get a good dinner as well.
Egan & Sons
118 Walnut St., Montclair. (973) 744.1413
Hours: Dinner from 3 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday; noon to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 2 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sunday.

Gov. Chris Christie has been making the rounds to blast away at Democratic lawmakers for what he calls their hypocrisy.
Intent on pushing a tax cut through the Legislature, the governor has vowed to veto any new spending on an array of idled bills until lawmakers agree to the cut.
They have demurred, based on analyses showing the state's anticipated rate of revenue will be far lower than expected. With less money coming in, lawmakers say, it makes no sense to reduce that amount even further.
Balderdash, says Christie. Or something to that effect.
As Jenna Portnoy reported last week in The Times, the governor has assembled a list of bills he said would cost taxpayers $70 million if approved. He sarcastically derided some of the lawmakers who sponsored the measures as "well-known fiscal conservatives" and another as a "soldier in the war on fiscal prudence."
Among the legislation's he's singled out for scorn is a plan — with a $250,000 price tag – to launch a study of naturally occurring retirement communities in Mercer.
Sponsored in the Senate by Shirley Turner and Loretta Weinberg and in the Assembly by Reed Gusciora and Bonnie Watson Coleman, the bill focuses on a nationwide initiative of the Jewish Federations of North America to help residents age in place.
The concept is simple; putting together what organizers call a basket of services and bringing those services to apartment buildings or communities with an aging population makes it much more likely that older residents won't have to move to a nursing home or assisted living situation.
The result promises to be profound.
By 2030, it's estimated there will be about 71.5 million people 65 and older in the United States; in 2050, that number is expected to hit 90 million.
Delivery of support services in the home setting will stave off the high costs of institutional care, which can cost about $77,000 annually, while community-based home health services cost about $20 an hour.
More difficult to calculate, and perhaps more important, is the vast difference in quality of life. Who wouldn't prefer to stay in the comfort of home, active and vital in the community, rather than being forced into a nursing home before it's necessary because of a chronic condition or disability?
This is a forward-looking measure and responsible planning for the "silver tsunami" as the baby boomers move toward retirement age.
Holding it up in order to play Santa Claus by handing out a tax cut seems to be the real hypocrisy.

The sooner we legalize marijuana, the better
April 2, 2013
Patricia Smith's editorial on ending marijuana prohibition hit the nail on the head. It is estimated that the income from marijuana in California alone exceeds billions of dollars a year. The sooner our elected officials figure out the profit available from legalizing and taxing marijuana, the better. Unfortunately, drug companies with well-funded lobbyists oppose legalization as it would cut their profit margin.
Arguments that marijuana leads to "heavy" drugs are absurd. People who do dangerous drugs may, indeed, have used marijuana. It is likely they also drank milk. Do the logic. Parents do not beat their children while on marijuana, and husbands do not abuse their wives. Their worst conduct is a bad case of the "munchies."
As someone with chronic back pain, I chose marijuana over legally prescribed danger and addictive narcotics. It is time for our government to wise up, legalize marijuana, tax it and stop giving in to drug companies pandering "legal" narcotics.

What is in this article?:
- Farm bill will happen, but when?
- Opportunity still there
- Extension
- House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas is convinced that the nation's farmers and ranchers will get a new farm bill. He stops short of predicting just when that will happen, however.
Opportunity still there
If, after visiting constituents, members come back more focused on deficit reduction, jobs and other issues, the farm bill may be overlooked.
"I think Speaker Boehner understands the ramifications of the farm bill," Lucas said. "He also understands he has a large number of freshmen who were elected on a promise to cut everything."
He said a faction of Congress on the far left "never want to spend anything on Rural America. But on the far right they don't want to spend any money on any occasion for any reason."
The key, he said, is to "achieve a consensus of the middle," a harder chore with the current polarization of Congress.
"But I think we can do that. If we can get time on the floor, the committee will do its work. The bill may not look exactly like the one that came out of committee, but I think we can get something that we can work through a relatively quick conference."
He said the best way to get a farm bill signed is to "put it on (President) Obama's desk before election day."

Why I Never Told My Parents About My Postpartum Depression
Sharline Chiang, Special to The Informer from New America Media | 11/26/2013, 2 p.m.
I lied because even though depression is so common in Asian American communities, we rarely talked about it. The message I grew up with: your mental struggles are our own; it's up to you to find the inner strength to "ren," to endure.
The character for "ren" 忍 is the character for "knife" over the "heart." Endure even when there's a knife in your heart.
In my thirties I discovered talk therapy, tried to get my parents to go. Their response was basically: "That's for white people." "They hook you in," my mother said. "You can never be cured."
I wish mental illness didn't come with stigmas. I wish I could have told my parents that my mind had broken just as easily as if I had to tell them my arm had broken.
Whenever my husband would say, "You really should tell them," I felt that chasm again (he's white, son of hippies). To him it was unimaginable to suffer the darkest period of your life and not tell your parents. Meanwhile, everyone in his immediate family knew. His mother and brother moved down from Canada to help take care of me.
The fact that I could get PPD never crossed my mind. I had no history of depression.
Two years ago while pregnant with Anza, I had spent thousands of hours reading about pregnancy and birth and exactly five minutes reading about postpartum depression.
On the cover of the brochure was a white woman with long brown hair. She was staring into space under the words: "Feeling Blue?" I took one look and said to myself: white woman, sad woman, that's not me and that's not going to be me.
I was 41. I had traveled the world, had a great career in nonprofit communications, and had married the man of my dreams. We lived in sunny Berkeley. We were finally having a baby. I was elated.
Looking back I wish more doctors had talked to us about PPD, its signs and how to get help. I wish someone had told us about Postpartum Depression Spectrum because PPD manifests in so many ways, including intense anxiety. I also wish I had been given articles written by survivors, especially other API women.
I got lucky. I found a psychiatrist who diagnosed me in time (I didn't go to the hospital). The medication—Seroquel, Klonopin, and Zoloft—worked on me with no side effects. In six months, with the help of a therapist and support group, I stabilized significantly and was pretty much back to "myself" within a year.
I'm slowly accepting that there is a new me. The new "me" is more sensitive to stress. Like any survivor of a health crisis, I try to remind myself to manage my stress levels and overall health.
By the time my parents visited us again Anza was six months old. I was doing much better. They watched her eat her first solid food (mashed yams). It didn't make sense to bring up my ordeal.
I don't like lying to my parents. They deserve my honesty. If they ever read this, I want to say I hope you can forgive me and see that I did this out of love, love for you, and love for myself.
I hope if they come across this, or any of my other articles about my experience, they can understand that I'm trying to share my story to encourage other survivors to tell their stories, so we can let other women know that that they are not alone, that they're part of a larger family of women who have been there too.
Sharline Chiang is a writer based in Berkeley, originally from New Jersey. She is a proud, long-time member of VONA, an amazing community of writers of color. Sharline previously wrote a piece for Mutha magazine about her experience with postpartum depression and anxiety.

Lin turns coach for youth hoop camp in Taipei
By Joseph Yeh, The China Post with CNA
August 28, 2012, 12:10 am TWN
The China Post with CNA--Visiting NBA sensation Jeremy Lin yesterday tried his hand as a coach when he kicked off a basketball camp for young players in Taipei, hoping to pass down his hoop skills to the younger generation in Taiwan.
Having had little rest after his arrival in Taipei late Sunday night, Lin yesterday hosted the camp and its 60 elementary-level hoop-lovers at the Taipei Physical Education College Gymnasium (台北市立體育學院體育館) in Tianmu from 9 a.m. to noon.
Speaking to the participants of the camp, Lin, wearing his usual big smile, said he appreciated that everyone was up so early just to join the event.
"We're gonna have a blast this week," said Lin, the first Taiwanese-American NBA player, at the opening of the camp. "The biggest thing we want to teach these kids is to have fun playing basketball."
During the opening ceremony of the camp, which runs until Thursday, Lin also did his trademark "nerdy pregame handshake" with one of the trainees to officially kick off the four-day-camp.
Also featuring in the coaching lineup for the Taipei camp was Lin's shooting coach Doc Scheppler, strength coach Josh Fan and older brother Joshua.
To add stardom to the educational camp, the Houston Rockets point guard invited his friend and former Golden State Warriors teammate David Lee to share his insights with Taiwanese youths.
"I'm very excited to have a chance to come over here to spread the love for basketball across the world over here in Taiwan," said the 29-year-old Warriors' power forward/center.
The latest Taipei stop is part of Lin's ongoing Asian tour that also took him to many Chinese cities, including Hong Kong, over the past weeks.
The NBA sensation, who celebrated his 24th birthday in Hong Kong on Aug. 23, paid a short visit to Taipei earlier this month, during which local media kept a close eye on every move Lin and his family made.
Taiwanese Fans 'funny and creative': Lin
Speaking at a press conference during the camp, Lin expressed gratitude for the passion shown by enthusiastic Taiwanese fans, saying that being able to see his energetic supporters for the second time this month "was definitely a highlight."
Asked to comment about all the stops he has made during his tour, Lin said Beijing is full of history, while Hong Kong has a New York feel to it and Taiwan's fans are the most unforgettable.
"What I always remember (about Taiwan) is all you guys up there — the fans," Lin said to the hundreds of people watching the summer camp from the spectator area at the gymnasium.
"How funny, creative you guys are; the gifts you guys sent. It's been a joy to watch, so I'm so thankful for all you guys and everybody else to give me support," he said, followed by a round of applause.
After the event, Lin will hold a private charity event Friday Aug. 31 and attend a sponsor's event the next day.
Lin will also join an evangelical gathering hosted by a local television station Sept. 2 before his departure for the United States the following day.

I am unsure what i want to be, something around engineering, maybe politcal science. So for Colleges like Stanford or the ivies, does it hurt to put undecided or not. And i do choose to pick a major and want to change is it hard there like UC berkeley or is it easy to change majors in the beginning

Undecided is the most common selection applicants make. It's better to apply undecided if you are. It doesn't hurt you.

Wednesday was an odd day of the month, so I tried Apex Park on the way home for a run (on odd days bikes are limited to one-way travel up the canyon, which means fewer bikers downhill, and a more relaxing run).
You know it's been dry recently when I consider it blog-worthy to post a photo of distant rain clouds. But I liked the contrast of blue, orange/brown and green:
I think the spring/summer cycle of afternoon showers has begun, and maybe the El Nino dry spell has started to break. There's powder forecast for the mountains this weekend.
These trails are somewhat hilly, which means I'm irresistibly attracted to them. Here's an example:
The elk were out grazing this evening:
My home hill, Green Mountain in Lakewood, in the back:
Sweet-smelling blossoms along the trails. These are everywhere.
Distance was 7.60 miles, time 1:50 (moving 1:30), elevation gain/loss 1,530 feet, avg. pace 14:29 (moving 11:58), and best pace 7:32.

5 Reasons A Rally Might Be Coming
- Posted by Joe Fahmy
- on December 11th, 2011
1) The number one criteria I use to judge the overall health of the market is STOCKS. We need to see strong fundamental companies building sound technical bases and breaking out on strong volume. We're not quite 100% there yet, but I am noticing more and more trading setups. If they work out, that will be a very healthy sign.
2) Since the recent low (11/25/11), the NASDAQ Composite has only seen one day of distribution (professional selling), another good sign.
3) Although the NASDAQ Composite is below its 200-day moving average, I am anticipating a "follow-through-day" this week that would take us above this level and confirm a new uptrend.
4) I had 4 friends tell me this past week that they are ready to quit trading because they've been getting "killed…chopped-up…frustrated, etc." with this market. That's usually a good contrarian indicator.
5) Don't fight the Fed! Bernanke's providing liquidity again. Don't argue with it, take advantage of it.
A few additional comments:
A) It doesn't bother me if I'm wrong about this potential rally because I trade with stops. If I'm wrong, I stop myself out and wait for better conditions. I have no ego when it comes to the market.
B) If I'm right, I have no idea if this will be a short 3-4 week rally or a longer 3-4 month uptrend. As @WScottONeil says: "We're not in the prediction business, we're in the interpretation business." In other words, take it one day at a time and be very open-minded when analyzing the markets. Being stubborn gets you nowhere.
C) Final reminder: The key is not to get the EXACT bottom, but to trade the portion of the uptrend when probabilities are in your favor. For example, I know many traders who made a fortune last year in December 2010/January 2011…THREE MONTHS AFTER the September 2010 bottom! In other words, there is no reason to be in a rush. If conditions continue to improve, there should be plenty of time to make money. GOOD LUCK TRADING!

Yes, if your WIP is just 'another one'. If you have not been reading what is out there that competes with your book for whatever reason---you don't have the time/you don't want to be influenced/you find them all boring and that is why you are writing the best dystopian/nerdy boy/girlielicious book the world has ever read--then you may not know that yours is just like everything that has already been published. Yes--I'm NOT interested.
But, what if your dystopian/nerdy boy/girlielicious book truly is outstanding. What if it entrances me with a new twist, thwacks me over the head with an unforgettable voice, befriends me with a must-stay-up-all-night-because-I-cannot-bear-to leave your characters cast? Heck, yes--send me that full and if the entire manuscript sings like those first 10 pages you sent with your query...Yes, I'm going to sign you and sub your work.
Do I favor trendsetting books? And we are only talking trendsetting and brilliantly written since we all know a trendsetting idea does not make a book. Heck, ya, again!
BUT, how do I know if a book is a trendsetter at the manuscript stage? Well, no one knows if a book is trendsetting until it publishes, sells like hotcakes and the copycats start flooding the market. Hopefully that first trendsetting book is noted as the trendsetter, but it might be a different book that gets the glory. Let's face it, life like publishing is unpredictable and not always fair.
So am I really looking for trendsetting? Just like you, I am making a prediction. Based on an amazing voice, phenomenal writing, blow-away plot/characters/setting...I am predicting that your historical novel in verse told from six points of view is going to sell. With this one, I predicted correctly and Sherry Shahan's PURPLE DAZE became the first book I ever sold and pubbed with stellar reviews this month.
So what do you do? What do I do to help guide my clients and to keep choosing the best ones to represent? I trust my gut and I take a chance. And that, writers, is what you have to do too.
Remember, not every book sold goes to auction. Many, many books are turned down as too out-there or too-like-everything-else, and then go on to sell to the perfect editor who works with the writer to create a wonderful book that goes on to sell, and sell, and sell....and sometimes that book is proclaimed a 'trendsetter'.
Here is a list of what I have sold so far....can you recognize the next big thing? The next trend?
Janet Gurtler's ALL THAT JAZ (renamed IF I TELL), about a teenager who survives and even thrives in a small-minded town as the mistaken product of an African American football player and his 16 year old blond princess, until she makes a huge mistake of her own, to Leah Hultenschmidt at Sourcebooks, for publication in Fall 2011.
Julie Williams's IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD, pitched as a La Cage aux Folles-inspired YA, about a girl genius who must thwart her unconventional family's demise in which her mother, her father, and her father's new boyfriend, all live under the same roof, while dealing with her Jehovah's Witness grandmother's prediction of the end of the world, to Nancy Mercado at Roaring Brook Press, in a pre-empt, for publication in Spring 2012 .
Martha Brockenbrough's YA debut 10 COMMANDMENTS FOR THE DEAD to Arthur A. Levine Books/Scholastic in which a guardian angel in a rehabilitation program for wayward souls accidentally kills the girl he's supposed to watch over, fails to get her into heaven, and may or may not cause lasting psychological damage to a squirrel.
Ralph Fletcher's AKA ROWAN POHI, in which a 16-year old boy assumes a new identity in a desperate attempt to shed one life and create another, to Dinah Stevenson at Clarion, for publication in Fall 2011
Janet Gurtler's THE WEIGHT OF BONES (renamed I'M NOT HER), a twist on MY SISTER'S KEEPER for teens, in which a brainy high school freshman embraces yet resents the shadow of her beautiful, popular, volleyball-scholarship-bound sister, but when the senior is diagnosed with bone cancer, it drastically changes both sisters' lives, to Sourcebooks Fire for publication in Spring 2011.
Erin Fry's FAT BOY, in which a 13-year old obese teenager, tired of his life of XXL t-shirts and unrequited crushes, and reeling from his father's recent stroke, joins the cross country team to find out if there's more to life than French fries, to Marilyn Brigham at Marshall Cavendish, for publication in Fall 2012.


text: I know this because of the oversized envelopes that keep appearing in my mailbox. This summer I'll be watching friends get married by a lake in Massachusetts and another pair tie the knot at an outdoor affair in downtown Philly. I wish them all the perfect weather that lures brides and grooms to plan a warm-weather celebration. However, this always gets me thinking about poor, forgotten winter. Now that's my idea of a beautiful wedding. Imagine a sparkly dress, a blanket of soft, fresh snow and the sun bouncing off trees heavy with icicles. Throw in a quaint church in the middle of nowhere and I'm sold. Sure, my mind usually wanders after that to canceled flights, icy roads and all the other travel nightmares that can accompany winter. But I quickly banish those thoughts and return to the day where Mother Nature cooperates and gives me the white wedding I'm dreaming about. It sounds magical, doesn't it? —Anita K.
