Taste is more of the same as I enjoy the balance between the citric, grape hops, downright earthy and spicy at times, with the caramel sweetness and the breadiness of the beer makes it fuller bodied and easier to chug (not necessarily a good thing). The rare real hoppy DIPA that is sessionable and has no ABV effects at all, finishes clean and easy and is quite frankly a well-balanced, enjoyable ale. Not the most flavorful or eventful DIPA I've had but one of the most enjoyable and one of the few that is sessionable.

A: Semi-opaque dark-orange body with a resting white foam on top. Some decent legs. Get some good head retention on this. N: Tons of mandarin oranges, clementines, grapefruit, and mango. A little bit of peach. Some pine and there's plenty of that sweet crystalized sugar. Very well dry hopped - very impressed. T: Very well balanced. Plenty of bitterness mixed up with a sweet undertone. The citrus flavors shine through quite well. Perhaps not as strong or as bitter as some of the others in the style, but this fits my palate very well. M: Very dry, resinous, and medium bodied. O: Definitely up there with the best DIPAs for me. I'll definitely finish this entire bottle and enjoy every sip. Every sip reveals a changing dimension Serving type: bottle 06-18-2013 03:06:45 | More by writerLJBerg mooseoPennsylvania 4.18/5 rDev -2.3% look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25 22oz bottle into tulip. A - Hazy orange-amber with a large bubbly white head. S - Tropical fruits, mango, grapefruit, pine, sweet caramel. T - A perfect balance of grapefruit, pine, mango, and sweet toasted malt. Starts out sweet but finishes bitter. Hints of orange juice and caramel. No alcohol evident. M - Smooth, a bit chewy, medium-full body. Warming alcohol, dry finish. O - This is an awesome double IPA. Easy to drink, balanced, and packed with flavor. Definitely above average, I wish it was available all the time.

Poured cold from the bottle a translucent deep copper to a dogfish head signature glass with a finger and a half foamy white head leaving a sheet of sticky lace to the rim. Big aroma floral and grassy hops. Big bodied, creamy smooth, hot going down, medium bitter, sweet hint of strawberries (?)

This beer grows on you even if you prefer lower bitterness. Great complexity of flavors and just the right mouthfeel for the taste and abv. So far, this is my favorite of the style. While others might be hop bombs, I prefer this milder example. I will drink this again as soon as I can.

Decanted into an imperial pint glass. Appearance: Almost perfectly clear copper color. Thin head that barely holds together. Slight haze. Smell: Sharp resin and pine. Sweetness followed by a hint of mint. Taste: Citrus pith bite. Lingering bitterness, but not unpleasant. In fact, it is very nice. But it's followed by a faint, odd sulfur aftertaste. Mouthfeel: Smooth and rounded. Overall: Certainly a big double IPA, but very palatable. Not over the top in any regard. I like it a lot.

Pours a creamy 1 finger white head with moderate retention. Beer is a clear orange-goldenrod. Lacing is thick and layered with excellent stick. Real nice looking beer. Nose is sweet citrus, pine sap hoppiness, cane sugar, pineapple and other tropical fruits. Aromatic and very enticing. Good balance too. Opens sweet citrus, mango and passion fruit. Grapefruit hop bitterness balanced with a robust cane sugar malt backbone at the middle. Ends slightly tart citrus and very, very dry. Sappy hop finish with a lingering, bittersweet and just a touch of caramel aftertaste. Really tasty. Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Quenching and smooth in the mouth and goes down dry and puckering. Finishes dry with a sticky, lingering aftertaste. Appropriate for the style. Real drinkable. Another above-average offering from Williamsberg Alewerks. The flavor here is complex and balanced and the aroma and feel are spot on. Quite the looker too. Definitely a beer to seek out.

One finger white head with heavy lacing. Aroma is piney, citrusy and a little sweet. Flavors of citrus fruit. More hoppy than malty. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Bitter finish. Alcohol well hidden. A very good west coast style DIPA. Better than most. Not very complex or different but SOLID...

A: Pours a light copper hue with a thick, 2-finger, white head that slowly dissipates leaving a perfect trail down the glass ending in a semi-wispy lace. S: Dominant hoppy aroma with a mild malty background. T: Nice an hoppy flavor blended with malt nicely to balance it out. There is a tart middle and finishes on the hoppy side of dry. M: Very strong and boozy. Thick body and medium carbonation. O: Impressive Double IPA. Great flavor and aroma and excellent balance between hops and malt.

A- Pours a clear orange copper color with an inch of off-white head, leaves nice lacing. S- Really nice aroma, packed with tropical fruits like mango and papaya as well as vibrant orange and grapefruit, also some pine and a mild dank earthy hop aroma. T- Hop flavor is just as great as in the aroma, loads of tropical fruit and citrus again. Also there's a solid amount of pine and earthy hop flavors, also a bit of onion but nothing overpowering. Just the right amount of cookie-like malt shows through before a nice bitter, resinous finish. M- Medium-bodied, smooth feel with moderate carbonation, dry finish. O- This is a great DIPA, one of the single best West Coast style DIPA's I've found out East, I demolished this bomber very, very easily too. Delicious stuff.

A- pours dark copper with a 2 finger off-white head. Thick walls and leopard spotting of lacing remains on the glass. S- caramel, biscuit, very light citrus, some spice and nice pine aroma T- someone caramel, light toasted malts, not much citrus to be found, and big pine bitterness at the end. M- medium body and carbonation. Smooth and crisp with semi-dry finish. O- good dipa. Citrus was lacking for my taste but had some sweetness from the malt to balance the big pine bitterness.

Very little head even with a slightly vigorous pour. Smell- Excellent pine smell with hints of grapefruit, excellent hoppy aroma when first opening the bottle. Taste- Granted, this beer came in line after the Heady Topper at a tasting, however, this beer really stood out as a great DIPA with strong notes of pine and citrus. Very little grain after the inital "hop kick". Mouth- Medium-bodied feel, with a slightly viscous ending. Drink- Very tasty DIPA. I generally like a little more citrus in my DIPAs, but this definitely stacks up against some of the better DIPAs on the east coast.

Clear dark orange with a very small off-white head that only leaves minimal stick down the glass. Very nice aroma, mainly focused on citrus and tropical notes, along with a mild hint of pine. I dig it. Straightforward, though very tasty DIPA, with good amounts of tropical fruits and citrus butting up against a fairly high level of bitterness, along with just a hint of caramel malt backbone. Very nice. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Very nice, though, drinking "other" good D/IPAs just reminds me how good I have it everyday in San Diego.

A little bit of yellows in the glass with a good clarity. 0 head or cling. Very flat on the pour. Smell- It openened with a small tropical note and then progressed into a smaller pine with a good amount of hops to it. Taste- This is a big DIPA. The 9% isnt messing around. Had a small creamy flavor behind it with a thicker pine flavor and was flavorful if not one dimensional. Mouth- A lighter medium body which I thought was odd. A medium carbonation level. Gave the feel a thicker mode to it. Drink- It was tasty, like I said, just one dimensional. Needed more citrus balance to tame the pine.

Bomber Pours a very nice hazy golden orange color, nice carbonation, with a nice little fizzy off-white head, some nice sticky lacing left behind. The nose is hoppy, nice touch of malts, with some citrus, and pine notes. The taste is very nice, a little hop bomb, with just enough malts to balance it out, nice citrus and pine to round things out. Medium body, with a slight dry/bitter finish. Overall this one really surprised me, glad to have a chance to try it. Thanks Dick! Serving type: bottle 07-08-2012 19:17:30 | More by Wasatch tobeleroneConnecticut 3.63/5 rDev -15.2% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5 Glad I finally got to try this one, though I suspect this bottle is past its prime. No dating makes it hard to be sure but my understanding is the most recent bottling was in April, making this bottle close to three months old. Pours nearly clear, gold, with a small, quickly settling white head and patchy lacing. Resinous, herbal, "weedy" aroma with noticeable caramel maltiness; smells both bitter and honey-sweet. Some tropical fruit notes. The flavor is primarily hoppy and bitter, as the name implies, but has moderate sweetness that emerges more and more into a clear honey flavor as the beer warms a bit. Either way the malt has a substantial presence. Citrus fruit and piney, resinous hop notes. Lingering bitterness; sweetish finish. Booziness is also increasing noticeable as you work your way through the glass. Medium bodied and carbonated, smooth and slightly sticky mouthfeel. A good DIPA but for me wasn't anything to get too worked up over. Maltier, sweeter, and generally heavier feeling than most of my favorites of this style. Good enough hop character but the particular blend chosen wasn't knocking me out. Again, no bottle dating, which seems inexcusable at this point. I'd like to try a fresher bottle sometime but won't be springing for another if it's unclear when it's from. Serving type: bottle 06-27-2012 13:33:34 | More by tobelerone alpinebryantConnecticut 4.2/5 rDev -1.9% look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4 A: Pours a healthy creamy white head and sticky lacing around my White Birch tulip. S: Aroma of peachy hop nectar. Sticky citrus, sweet caramel crystal malts, pine resin and nectarines. T: Sticky hop resin along with a pleasant citrus pine twang. Caramel and Crystal 120L are strong here, along with a nice pronounced sweetness all around. Plenty of malt in this beer to round off the hops pouring out of the glass and make it very smooth going down. The end bite is slightly tannic and earthy with dirt flavors but just about everything else in this is very good. M: Dry and medium carbonation. Slightly light for a DIPA in body. O: A very good DIPA, a few minor flaws, but otherwise very drinkable and enjoyable.

Big thanks goes out to cmrillo's wife (who is on BA but won't tell me her userhandle) for this one! Served from bottle into a NoDa snifter. Poured red-orange with a minimal white head. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, wheat, earth, spice, citrus, earth hop, and floral hop. The flavor was of sweet malt, citrus, earth, earth hop, citrus, and floral hop. It had a light feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this was a decent brew. The standout point on this brew was definitely the floral hop character which I am a real big fan of. However, nothing else on this one really stood out to me which was rather unfortunate. It was easy drinking out in the sun that evening, but definitely not a stand out in the style. Worth trying if you get the chance. Serving type: bottle 06-12-2012 12:55:02 | More by thagr81us msubulldog25Oregon 4.28/5 rDev 0% look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5 Memorial Day 2012. A toast to soldiers & veterans for their service & sacrifice... 22 oz. bottle poured to my Adnams imperial pint glass after 3 hours of yardwork. I 'earned' it! A 'Brewers Choice' beer (brew date was 4/26/12, according to Rifugium, who kindly sent this one); label depicts a grumpy-looking little cupid. A: Shiny copper pour, quite clear with relatively little carbonation. Head almost 'white', kinda on the short side. It's creamy -yes- but can't quite reach a finger-high, then drops pretty quickly. A gauzy skim does hold well and the patchy lacing holds nicely. S: Maybe I'm a little stuffed up from the weed-pulling and hedge-trimming, but this aroma really doesn't do much for me. There's citrus that skews sweeter and slightly tropical, maybe tangerine or pineapple. Strength is fine, although I really couldn't sense it until I stuck my nose right in the glass. T: Early sips I found to be exceedingly bitter, but with gradual warming comes much more balance. Lots of sappy pine and pithy orange, grassy herbs and a certainly mineral tanginess to finish. Interwoven are a vague nutty doughiness and fairly strong caramel. The end result is on the dry side and the bitterness, as represented by the name, is a drawn-out conclusion. M: Big and warming, without being 'hot'. A very smooth carbonation and coating mouthfeel. Hop oils coat my mouth and bitterness lasts an eternity. Damn. O: I am (generally) not a huge 'hophead', though I can enjoy and appreciate hoppy beers when they are well-done. This is well-done. Gigantic flavors with adequate balance and a memorable finish. high-level bitterness in (D)IPAs is generally something I dislike, but I'm feeling this one today. I'm glad to have a chance to try this one - thank you, Derek!

Pours a lighter fizzy 1/2 finger head that fades at a med pace, with some sticky lacing, over mostly clear golden tan honey colored beer. Nose brings some nice hops, mostly citrus with some tangerine and hint of orange zest, light stone fruit like apricot and nectarine, hint of tropical fruit grapefruit and pineapple, etc, but none of the hop characters dominant. A sweet malty base comes through underneath with some candied orange aromas. Taste starts with sweet malts, juicy sweet malts with a bit of reddish malt flavors and hint of caramel, before hops kick in quickly. Quite bitter with some earthy bittering hops, then citrus and orange rind, fruits both stone and tropical bring tangerine, nectarine, apricot, slight peach like, pineapple, etc. Some nice fruit flavors. in the back end a slight bitter resinous fresh hop flavor comes in, that teases on astringent but not much. The finish stays quite bitter, with a long lingering bitterness on the finish, hints of tropical and stone fruits remaining, with a light pine and resinous musty hop lingering as well, and hints of candy hop, and fairly dry. Mouth is med bodied, hint of warming booze but not much, decent carb. Overall pretty good, an almost staple version of what a DIPA should be, a nice bitterness that borders astringency but doesn't overpower, long lingering bitter finish, nice balance between bittering and flavor/aroma hops, and nice balance of malty sweetness to back up the bitterness with a touch of booze that barely comes into play. Tasty and well done DIPA that I would love to try on draft, and get a regular supply of.

I got this via trade from Hanzo (thanks bud) and I hear it was super fresh since it doesn't last on shelves long. No bottle date I could see. A: A medium golden color with some amber hues. A big two finger white head sits atop. Lacing is ring like and full, but it doesn't last. S: Tropical fruit couples with some grapefruit, orange and some slight herbal notes. Sweetness and malt is picked up with the alcohol. Real nice to smell. T: I got tons of tropical fruit up front with mango, passion fruit, pineapple, orange, grapefruit and some floral herbal flavors. The sweetness is bready and doughy rather than caramel or sugar but the malt flavor is strong. The finish comes in with more herbal notes, slight resiny pine and more citrus with some slight bitterness. Slight alcohol is tasted on the finish, but not what you would think with this abv. The finish lingers but is not a bitter as I expected based on the name. M: Medium, prickly, slightly bitter, lasting and some alcohol. O: This is a fine, fine DIPA made on the east coast that is all west coast in style. The bomber went down easily and it was a joy to drink. I'd drink these puppies any day of the week. Nice. Overall another Williamsburg beer that I really enjoyed. I'm totally impressed with their stuff I have tried so far. Hanzo also sent me a few other of their beers to try, I can't wait.

S: It smelled like grapefruit and pine, with some citrus and mango and apricot. T: It tasted like strong bitter pine and citrus zest, with waxy hops and grapefruit and unripe apricot. It had a lasting clean and bitter aftertaste. M: It was somewhat thick with moderate carbonation. Nice full body. D: This beer had no balance. This hop bomb had a very bitter but complex profile, but no malt or other character. It had good body and well hidden alcohol, but it more of a sipper due to the bitterness. Not my favorite for the style, but impressive.

Very clear body. A few bubbles that stay consistent throughout the beer drinking experience. But, frankly -- nothing too special. Nothing I haven't seen before. Nothing really standing out. Good, though. A: Strong sweet malt and heavy citrus aroma. Definitely some earthiness to it. Very complex. Wife says she gets a candied apple aroma. Lots of different specific aromas jumping at me. Super quality stuff. T: Lots of different flavors hitting the tongue. Like splashes of hoppy fruit dancing in your mouth. Sweet citrus and caramel malt dominate the taste. Leaves behind a nice bitter finish that beckons for another sip. Comparisons to Pliny the Elder are fair. This beer, however, is a tad bit sweeter, and malt is preferred here. M: Almost perfect in every way. This is how an IPA should feel. Reminds me of Sculpin here. Medium body brew that coats the mouth in a crisp bitter hoppy syrup. Chewiness brings out the malt. Lubricates the lips. Top notch. Feels great. O: Amazing brew. One of the best I've probably had. And, definitely the best I've had out of VA. If not for the appearance, this beer would have a terrific score. But, honestly, I just think the look is par for the course. Everything else about this beer is amazing.

The last time Tegan and Sara were in Reno in 2008, they performed at an intimate concert in the Grand Sierra Resort. It was their first time in Reno. Even though it took them four years to return, judging by the crowd's reaction on Saturday at the Knitting Factory, it was an amazing reunion.
Folk-rock Canadian twin sisters, Tegan and Sara took the stage at 10:03 p.m., right after Los Angeles-based band, Family of the Year performed.
Tegan and Sara sang my personal favorites and their biggest hits such as "The Con", "Walking With a Ghost" and "Nineteen." They also took the night to introduce a couple of their newest songs, such as "Closer" from their upcoming album Heartthrob, which will be released on Jan. 29.
Tegan and Sara attracted a diverse crowd of people to the concert on Friday night, including dads escorting daughters as well as a strong showing from Reno's LGBT community. As they waited for the doors to open while braving the wet weather, a line of fans extended out to Second Street. Most were huddled together to keep warm.
The large crowd of teenagers in attendance surprised me. I thought that Tegan and Sara were more popular among people who are college-aged or older (especially because their band was formed in 1995). Regardless, young girls were singing lyrics to some of their older songs.
After finishing "Walking with a Ghost," Sara apologized for screwing up the ending of the song. She was taken by surprise when she noticed two young girls belting out the lyrics to a song that was released in 2005 – when they were still in diapers.
"You guys are so cute. You two were literally born the year I wrote this song," said Sara. "Wait, are you legally allowed to be here? Well, it's Reno…you're 8. Let's party."
They did just that.
Glow sticks filled the venue. Tegan and Sara wore their traditional black ensemble. John Spence, their keyboardist, rocked a hot-pink keyboard. Their music shifted from folk-rock to dance-pop to acoustic, showing how they have evolved as a band over the years.
Tegan and Sara are clearly talented. They both play the guitar and keyboard and they write their own songs. They also have a knack for communicating with their audiences. Young and old, man or woman, they entertained everyone for 90 minutes.
They were gracious, too.
"We hope you had a great time," said Tegan. "We have had a wonderful time. Thank you so much. Such an awesome show."
Maybe they'll stop by the Biggest Little City in another four years.
Set List:
I'm Not Your Hero
Back in Your Head
The Con
Walking with a Ghost
So Jealous
Where Does the Good Go
I Was a Fool
Messed Up
Living Room
Body Work
Call It Off
Dark Come Soon
Not Tonight
Feel It in My Bones

Worcester man sentenced for abusing ex-partner while in jail
5:09pm Wednesday 16th October 2013 in News By Ian Craig
A WORCESTER man with a history of domestic violence and abuse against women has been jailed for 18 months and given a five-year anti-social behaviour order.
Paul Biddle, aged 32, appeared at Worcester Crown Court on Tuesday, October 15 where he pleaded guilty to harassment and common assault of an ex-partner.
Biddle is currently serving a prison sentence of four years for causing grievous bodily harm to an ex-partner when he broke her jaw in 2007.
While he was imprisoned in Hewell near Redditch in 2012 prison officers became aware he was harassing another ex-partner by phone. He was reported to have been threatening to kill or assault her when he was released, encouraging her to commit suicide and insulting her.
Between Monday, October 29 and Monday, December 10 2012 he made more 519 telephone calls lasting more than 1,000 minutes to the same woman.
When the woman visited him in prison on Wednesday, November 21 prison officers saw her hold out her hands when he told her, after which Biddle pushed his thumbnail into her palm so hard it bled. He claimed she had cut it on a drinks can.
The prison service raised the case with West Mercia Police who launched an investigation and charged Biddle with harassment and common assault.
Appearing before Judge Patrick Thomas QC, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison for the offences, including three months for the assault to run concurrently.
After an overnight deliberation Judge Thomas served Biddle with a five-year criminal anti-social behaviour order (CRASBO) on Tuesday, October 15, banning him from "abusing or threatening any woman physically or verbally".
He said: "I have not seen a history as violent as yours for many years. You do not seem to understand that your behaviour is intimidating and that you are a coward, more importantly a bully."
He warned that any further offences would result in a further jail term.
Detective Constable Joanne Sanders of the South Worcestershire Domestic Abuse Team investigated the case and called the sentencing "unprecedented".
"It reflects the level of domestic abuse and violence Biddle hands out to women, who he treats with contempt," she said. "He is very controlling – during the calls from prison he repeatedly told his victim: 'If I didn't love you I would not tell you these things.'
"Biddle has also treated the court process with disdain – he refused to attend court on four occasions, not only wasting court time but making the process more stressful for his victim.
"I hope this tough order from the judge will help protect women from Biddle. When he is released, he will also be subject to a multi-agency public protection agreement, where the police and our partners at the likes of the prison service and probation will monitor Biddle and any relationships he gets involved in."

CMDL Biennial Report 23 Table of Contents
Cover: Contour plots showing the temporal and spatial variations in the atmospheric increases of carbon dioxide (CO2, upper panel) and methane (CH4, lower panel). The cooler colors (blue, violet, black) represent periods of lower than average growth rates and the warmer colors (yellow, orange, red) represent high growth rate periods. These plots are derived from measurements of thousands of samples collected at the CMDL Cooperative Air Sampling Network sites. The variations in the growth rates of these climatically important gases are due to interannual variations in the imbalances between sources and sinks, and also to variations in atmospheric transport. Because the major sources and sinks for CO2 and CH4 are different, their patterns of growth rate variations are usually dissimilar. An exception to this is the period of low, and even negative growth rates of both gases in 1992-1993, a period when anomalous low temperatures were observed. These observations provide powerful constraints on attempts to model the global carbon cycle. [This figure was created by Ken Masarie and Catherine McIntosh.]

The Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory (CMDL) is located in Boulder, Colorado, with observatories in Barrow, Alaska; Mauna Loa, Hawaii; Cape Matatula, American Samoa; and South Pole, Antarctica. It is one of twelve components of the Environmental Research Laboratories (ERL) within the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). CMDL conducts research related to atmospheric constituents that are capable of forcing change in the climate of the earth through modification of the atmospheric radiative environment, for example greenhouse gases and aerosols, and those that may cause depletion of the global ozone layer.
This report is a summary of activities of CMDL for calendar years 1994 and 1995. It is the 23rd consecutive report issued by this organization and its Air Resources Laboratory/Geophysical Monitoring for Climatic Change predecessor since formation in 1972. From 1972 through 1993 (numbers 1 through 22), reports were issued annually. However, with this issue we begin a 2-year reporting cycle, which stems from a need to most efficiently use the time and financial resources of our staff and laboratory and from a general trend towards electronic media. In this respect, CMDL has developed a comprehensive internet home page during the past 2 years. There you will find information about our major groups and observatories, latest events and press releases, publications, data availability, and personnel. Numerous data graphs and ftp data files are available. The URL address is http://www.cmdl.noaa.gov. Information (program descriptions, accomplishments, publications, plans, data access, etc.) on CMDL parent organizations can best be obtained via the internet.

In 1995, Eldon Ferguson retired from federal service and from the CMDL Director's position that he held from the formation of the Laboratory in 1990. On a personal note, we extend to him our best wishes for the future and our thanks for scientific guidance and direction in the past. In 1996, David Hofmann, the CMDL Chief Scientist since 1990, was appointed Director of CMDL.
This report is organized into the following major sections:
- Observatory, Meteorology, and Data Management
- Carbon Cycle
- Aerosols and Radiation
- Ozone and Water Vapor
- Nitrous Oxide and Halocompounds
- Cooperative Programs
These are followed by a list of CMDL staff publications for 1994-1995.

South Texas Study Seeks to Motivate Breast Cancer Survivors to Get Fit
0Do encouraging, personalized messages, received on a regular basis, inspire women to exercise after they've been treated for breast cancer?
To find out, the Institute for Health Promotion Research (IHPR) at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio is enrolling Hispanic survivors of breast cancer for a 16-week clinical research exercise study conducted in South Texas' Lower Rio Grande Valley to address this topic.
Changed thinking that leads to self-confidence leads to changed behavior—that's the idea behind the study.
The study requires two visits to the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio's Regional Academic Health Center campus in Harlingen to answer questionnaires, do a complete physical fitness assessment and develop each woman's individualized comprehensive exercise program. Also, based on the answers, each woman receives a personalized newsletter geared just for her.
"The goal is to motivate the Hispanic women to increase their physical activity, as studies have shown this improves quality of life and reduces the risk of developing other cancers and diseases," said Gabriela Villanueva, research area specialist associate with the IHPR, who is working on the National Cancer Institute-funded study led by the IHPR's Dr. Daniel Carlos Hughes. "It's a really good program for our women."
Hispanic women 18 and older who completed their cancer treatment at least two months prior are invited to inquire about eligibility. Several Hispanic women have joined the study since it began early this year, but researchers are looking for more.
Study participants will be compensated up to $75 in gift cards for participating.
But perhaps the best part is they get a prescription of exercise that they can carry on long after the study has ended.
For more information, contact Villanueva at (956) 365-8699 or email@example.com.

paulj asked:
Why not, instead of transferring copyright, have contributors give some kind of right of representation? I.e. grant the right to act on behalf of the copyright owner when it came to copyright infringement, to the extent needed to negotiate for and/or sue for any damage or restitution? Give the copyright holder a right to veto any action perhaps.
[ Speaking purely on behalf of Conservancy first.]
Amusingly, you've basically precisely described the agreement that Conservancy makes with BusyBox, Linux and Samba copyright holders whom Conservancy represents. However, I'd point out again: this is the kind of a thing that violators love to use as a distraction to waste time. For example, if you read the history of the Conservancy v. Best Buy et al case, you'll see plenty of the Defendants arguing that Conservancy should be fully dismissed from participating in the action. Again, Conservancy found that argument incorrect and spurious, and the judge agreed and never dismissed us from the case as lead Plaintiff. Yet, I spent hours helping our lawyers draft responses on that issue, which they in turn spent many more hours on too!
That's what a lot of people don't understand about USA Court proceedings or indeed any type of legalistic enforcement action: the other side obsessively looks for every pointless issue they can find and then pretends it is the biggest show-stopping problem in the world. This is particularly true when you line a non-profit with very little resources up against a big, wealthy tech company who hires fancy $800/hour (or more!) lawyers. Their strategy is to wear you down by wasting your time. The simpler the situation, the easier the enforcement is.
[ Ok, putting both Conservancy and FSF hats on for the rest of the response.]
Conservancy has decided it wants to take on this complication, but I wouldn't begrudge FSF for not being sure it wants to have to do this work. I think the ideal situation is when the non-profit holds an overwhelming majority of the copyrights, as that would get most of the benefits of having all the copyright but still not make copyright assignment necessary for every little patch, but rather just from the really heavy contributors.
On assignment as it relates to enforcement

The Justice system in the US is biased towards the accused (in spite of what it sometimes seems when reading headlines, those headlines are there _because_ they are unusual)
As for the reasoning behind it, Ben Franklin put it
> it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer
John Adams wrote a more extensive justification, part of which goes:
> It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished.
> But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, "whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection," and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever.

dlang, I don't think these quotes related to criminal prosecution relates correctly to civil legal matters. While I agree that minor details sometimes ferret out major issues, many defense attorneys in civil matters for wealthy clients use the system's tendency to allow such issues to be heard as a way to outspend plaintiffs. That happens to us all the time: it ain't cheap trying to enforce the GPL for the community!
And, to be brutally honest, we even have people in the community who want businesses to adopt Free Software, even if it's in violation of the licenses. So, they work against us too, sometimes.

As a result, "loser pays" means that one side (not necessarily the loser!) ends up paying pretty much the ENTIRE bill for the court case. If Bradley was in the UK, he would typically find that, in the normal case, all his victims would be paying him to sue them.
Under those circumstances, of course, he probably wouldn't have much work (not that that would displease him).
Cheers, Wol

It just came to me, that making the enforcement cases simpler to, erm, enforce, would also have a nice side-effect of reducing the _motivation_ of said fancy lawyers to participate.
This is actually a super-linear effect!

text: Colby's 188th Commencement Centers on Education in Afghanistan Greg Mortenson, coauthor of the bestseller Three Cups of Tea, and senior class speaker Qiamuddin Amiry of Kabul, Afghanistan, cofounder the Afghan Scholars Initiative, emphasized the role of education in solving global problems when they spoke at Colby College's 188th commencement Sunday, May 24. Five-hundred nine members of Colby's Class of 2009 received diplomas from President William D. Adams as thousands watched on the Miller Library lawn. In the years since his failed attempt to climb K2 led him to discover his mission, Mortenson has created approximately 80 schools, mostly for girls, through the nonprofit he cofounded, the Central Asia Institute. He encouraged graduates to make the most of failures. In Afghanistan, he said, "There's a very beautiful Persian proverb that says, 'When it is dark, you can see the stars.' And I think that's a good thing to hold onto." The Taliban, Mortenson said, has destroyed more than 800 schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan in the last two years, mostly those for girls. "So, why do a group of men want to bomb a girls' school and not a boys' school? Because, I think, their greatest fear—it's not a bullet, but it's a pen," he said. Mortenson quoted the Islamic hadith: "The ink of a scholar is holier than the blood of a martyr." The good news, Mortenson said, is that since 2000 the number of children being educated in Afghanistan has grown from 800,000 to 7.6 million—"the greatest increase in school enrollment in any country in modern history," he said. "That's the candle, that's the light of hope for a country like Afghanistan." In stressing the need for hope as Colby students set out to make a difference in the world, Mortenson recounted a disagreement with his publisher about the subtitle of his book. Attempting to make it newsworthy, the publisher argued for Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism . . . One School at a Time. Mortenson was opposed, advocating for One Man's Mission to Create Peace . . . One School at a Time. "Fighting terrorism is based in fear," he said, "but promoting peace is based in hope. And the real enemy, whether it's in the U.S. or Afghanistan or in Africa, the real enemy is ignorance, and it's ignorance that breeds hatred." The publisher agreed with Mortenson's condition that if the hardcover edition did not sell well the subtitle could change for the paperback version. "So the hardcover came out, it didn't do very well, and they changed the subtitle to One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time two years ago, and it's been a New York Times bestseller ever since," he said. Student-elected speaker Qiamuddin Amiry '09 gained perspective through the struggles early in his life, he said, including civil war in Afghanistan and later the Taliban regime. "During the civil war, survival became the number-one objective of life," he said. Later, at the United World College in Hong Kong and then at Colby, Amiry was able to look beyond survival and toward helping others. "It was here that I had the chance to see that it is merely a different environment, different people that I had the good fortune to interact with, and different sources from which I took inspiration," he said, "that made the difference between a young suicide bomber from Kabul and the young man standing before you today." "I believe that the environment in which we grow up, and the people that we encounter in life, shape our character and mold our dreams." He translated a Persian saying: "Melons gain color from the other melons around them and they ripen together. You, Class of 2009, have colored and shaped me—and one another—in ways that will alter the rest of our lives." "As his highness the Aga Khan reminds us: 'There are those who enter the world in such poverty that they are deprived of both the means and the motivation to improve their lot. Unless these unfortunates can be touched with the spark, which ignites the spirit of individual enterprise and determination, they will only sink back into renewed apathy, degradation and despair. It is for us, who are more fortunate, to provide that spark.' "There is no doubt that we are the fortunate ones," Amiry said. "The question is, can we provide the spark?" Through the nonprofit he cofounded with classmate John Campbell while they were undergraduates, Amiry is providing outstanding students from Afghanistan with the opportunity to study at private high schools in the United States. Following Amiry's speech, President Adams awarded the Condon Medal, given annually to a senior with extraordinary qualities of constructive citizenship, to James Goldring '09. Goldring founded Luzicare, an organization to raise money for people affected by HIV/AIDS in Malawi. Honorary degrees were awarded to outgoing chair of Colby's board of trustees Joseph F. Boulos, Tom's of Maine founders Kate Cheney Chappell and Thomas M. Chappell, astronomer Margaret J. Geller, Harvard law professor Jack Goldsmith III, and Mortenson. Yilin Xu, a mathematics and economics double major from Beijing, China, led the procession of seniors as the class marshal and valedictorian. |

ComplexQRDecomposition can operate in two modes. In overwrite mode, the original matrix is overwritten by the decomposition. In preserve mode, the original matrix is preserved, and a new matrix is created to hold the decomposition. You can set the mode through the Overwrite property.
ComplexQRDecomposition inherits from SingleLinearTransformation. This means you can use it to solve systems of linear equations. You can solve for a single right-hand side, or for multiple right-hand sides using the Solve(SingleComplexDenseVector, Boolean) method. You can also calculate the determinant, the inverse, and an estimate for the EstimateConditionNumber()()()().

Barry Mann
Barry Mann
Half of the successful writing team of Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil, songwriter Barry Mann played an integral part in the success of the Brill Building sound and its dominance of the pop charts in the early '60s. Before becoming a songwriter he also made the charts as a performer, singing the novelty song "Who Put the Bomp (In the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)." Mann began his career at Don Kirshner's Aldon Music. Crafting rock music with a level of sophistication that had never before been attained, Mann, along with wife and partner Cynthia Weil, wrote such classic tunes as "On Broadway," "You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling" ("the most-played song of the 20th century"), and "Uptown." It was Mann who supplied the majority of the music for these compositions and the duo continued to provide hits for other artists through the decades. In addition to his continuing successful collaboration with Weil, Mann has provided keyboards and production skills to artists such as B.J. Thomas and the Pointer Sisters, and co-wrote Dan Hill's hit "Sometimes When We Touch." In 1987, Mann was inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame and was awarded two Grammys, including Best Song for "Somewhere Out There." ~ Steve Kurutz, Rovi

Along the new esplanade are plantings and trees comprised of native coastal species, as well as seating elements evocative of the area's maritime past. Elevated bar stool seating offers visitors an opportunity to sit next to the railing and look out over the water toward Brooklyn. The railing at the bar also doubles as a tabletop on which users can eat, use a laptop or read. The esplanade also features chaise lounges, game tables, planter walls and waterside benches. The "look-out" (a.k.a. "get-down") is a series of stadium-like steps leading to the water at the foot of Wall Street that enables visitors to sit and observe the water with unobstructed views. A new state-of-the-art dog park features a climbing bridge, sand pit, splash pad and dog house. The entire esplanade is unified by a newly installed purple girder underneath the FDR Drive that will be illuminated at night and visible over the esplanade and across the river.
Future sections currently under construction include additional portions of the esplanade from the Battery Maritime Building to Wall Street, a restaurant pavilion at Maiden Lane, a redeveloped Pier 15, and a restroom pavilion at John Street. Planning, design, and marine work are also well underway for esplanade improvements and Pier 35 in Community Board 3 to the north, which is expected to open to the public by 2013. Founded on Mayor Bloomberg's 2002 Vision for a 21st Century Lower Manhattan, the ERW was initiated in 2004 by the Department of City Planning in cooperation with NYC Economic Development Corporation to transform a two-mile stretch of long neglected waterfront into a spectacular waterfront esplanade. Spanning from the Battery Maritime Building in the south to East River Park in the north, ERW's bold and ambitious plan will contribute to the revitalization of Lower Manhattan by improving waterfront access, enhancing pedestrian connectivity, and providing amenities for public use, recreation, and enjoyment. Implementation of the project is critical for the on-going efforts to reclaim NYC's waterfront and thereby improve quality of life for local residents, workers, and visitors in Lower Manhattan.
Based on extensive input from the local community, area elected officials, City and State agencies, and civic associations, the City developed an innovative waterfront park design that is flexible and diverse, responds creatively to the various neighborhoods adjacent to the East River and to the challenges posed by urban infrastructure at the water's edge. Below is a brief summary of new amenities to be found throughout the ERW:
Look-outs and Pavilions The construction of the FDR Drive in the 1950's severed the city's access to East River and the relationship between the upland neighborhoods and the waterfront. The proposed pavilions situated under the Drive will help to repair this lost connection and restore active uses to the waterfront. These pavilions will serve community and commercial uses with their imaginative architectural expressions that will complement the public open space as well as return the vitality of the city to the water's edge. Historically, the slips were areas where the river "slipped" into the city's grid. Several significant slips are identified and transformed into "Look-outs". At these historic locations, steps are carved into the sea wall to allow unencumbered views of the East River and to provide the opportunity to get down closer to the water.
Pier 15 Taking its cue from two-story recreation piers of the late 19th century, Pier 15 lifts its primary recreation area to the second level. Nestled beneath the recreation area, and recalling historic storehouses and cargo areas that were located on the lower level of recreation piers are two "boxes" which will house waterfront related programming such as a maritime education center and a café. On the north edge of the pier is a ramp leading up to an "amphitheater" seating area, which will give new and intimate views of the tall, historic ships of the South Street Seaport. Reaching the upper level, visitors can picnic, sunbathe, or simply lounge on its gently sloped lawns, and enjoy spectacular views of the East River and New York Harbor from its elevated perspective. On the lower level, there will be big, wooden chaise lounges, oriented due south for maximum enjoyment of the sun in a comfortable reclined position. All around the perimeter of the pier will be maritime infrastructure to accommodate historic and visiting ships and various waterborne transport vessels.
Pier 35 The Pier 35 design is a series of folded topographies that create outdoor rooms for recreational activities. Because of Pier 35's unique location and orientation, visitors will be able to view the city from an unusual perspective. A special feature on this pier is the "Eco Park", an intertidal zone that will provide habitat for aquatic species and a dynamic tidal landscape replete with educational and interpretive opportunities. Additional amenities to be provided on Pier 35 are a series of tilted lawns interspersed with landscape dunes and scattered trees, a terraced podium creating a place for elevated views, and a folded screen wall planted with vines that forms a strong backdrop for the public spaces and screens the adjacent sanitation building.
Sustainability The project will demonstrate the City's continued commitment to sustainability through a series of initiatives such as minimizing energy demand and consumption, maximizing use of recycled and sustainable materials, specifying low-maintenance plantings, and reducing storm water runoff in the park. ERW will also seek LEED certification, proving that "green" and high performance measures have been incorporated. Team Planning Process With funding from the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC), the Department of City Planning, working closely with the NYC Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), the Department of Transportation and the Department of Parks and Recreation, undertook a year-long study of the East River Waterfront in 2004, and produced the Concept Plan. During this study, over 70 meetings were held with community boards, tenant associations, civic leaders, maritime experts and local elected officials. Since 2006, this intensive level of community involvement has continued with outreach efforts during the 2007 ULURP process for site selection and disposition of pavilion spaces, and also for actions related to the text amendment in 2008 ( zoning text amendment N 080358 ZRM). Subsequent updates on the design and the programming of the pavilions continue to be presented to the community for feedback and input. Well over 100 public meetings have now been held. In addition, the ERW is under review by the Public Design Commission, the State Historic Preservation Office, the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, and the Army Corps of Engineers for various federal, state, and local approvals. Major project milestones have included the Final Environmental Impact Statement (adopted by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation in November 2007), ULURP approvals for the site selection and disposition of the pavilion component (approved in July 2007), schematic design (completed in August 2007), design development (completed in September 2008), and the RFEI process for Maiden Lane Pavilion (completed in June 2009). In June 2011 a RFP was issued for the maritime pavilion and berthing ship berthing spaces. The Department of City Planning is tremendously proud of "doing something really important for New York City," as juror Karen Van Lengen said when the project received the 55th Annual P/A Awards in 2008. For its innovation and excellence, the project also received the Waterfront Center's "Excellence on the Waterfront Award," as well as the Award for Excellence in Design in 2010 from the NYC Public Design Commission. The project has benefited from remarkable efforts from the consultant team, led by SHoP Architects and Ken Smith Landscape Architects, along with a joint venture of HDR and Arup engineers, and Tillotson Design Associates. Jacobs Engineering and Turner Construction Company are the construction managers carrying out the work on Pier 15 and Section 2. With NYCEDC as the lead agency and input from DCP, DOT, and Office of Deputy Mayor for Economic Development, final design and engineering is moving forward for the remaining construction phases.

Should the Supreme Court Strike Down the 'Preclearance' Provision of the Voting Rights Act? >
Voting Rights Act's Section 5 Still Stopping Discrimination Today
Preclearance provision of Voting Rights Act is still stopping discrimination today
February 27, 2013
Our country has made immense progress in improving access to the vote over the past several decades, thanks in large part to the Voting Rights Act. Today, the law continues to protect voters from genuine and persistent voting discrimination based on race.
While the Voting Rights Act protects voting rights nationwide, at issue in the case is the heart of the law, Section 5, which protects voters in the jurisdictions with the worst history—and a contemporary record—of discriminating against voters based on their race.
Sadly, efforts to deny the right to vote based on race are not a thing of the past—they are a contemporary reality. In the 2012 election alone, efforts to discriminate against millions of minority voters were stopped only because they were in geographic areas protected by Section 5. For example, Section 5 stopped the implementation of discriminatory voter ID laws in Texas and South Carolina; prevented the use of discriminatory congressional and state legislative district maps in Texas; and kept covered counties in Florida from shortening the early voting period that would have had a significant impact on minority voters.
Section 5 is also effective in protecting voting rights at the local level. The town of Calera, in Shelby County itself, is a perfect example. In Calera, the town's only black council member lost re-election after the town annexed new, largely white communities and redrew election districts in a way that prevented voters from choosing the candidate of their choice. Because of Section 5, the town was required to redraw the districts, and voters returned the community's candidate of choice to office.
The right to vote is guaranteed by the Constitution, and few constitutional commands are as clear as the 15th Amendment, which ensures the right to vote is not denied or abridged on account of race and gives Congress the authority to protect this right. That is why the Supreme Court has already affirmed the Voting Rights Act's constitutionality four times.
The Voting Rights Act is necessary to ensure that our aspirations for a stronger democracy are a reality for all citizens. Ongoing evidence shows that Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act is the most effective tool our nation has to stop discrimination against minorities at the ballot box. It stops real discrimination against real voters and we must ensure that Section 5 can continue to do this important work.

I think that report card are important but only when your in 7th grade 8th grade 9th grade 10th grade 11th grade 12th grade because when you go for a job they don't look at you 5th grade report card. But they do look at what collage you went to and the way you get into collage are through you 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th report card. If I was grading students I would do it through colors because if you did bad it's not as obvious .

Thread: Front end noise
Front end noise
I'm getting a ticking noise from the front end, sounds like it's coming from the driver-side wheel well when I have the steering wheel turned to the right. It speeds up with speed, so I think it's something on the wheel. No noise when driving straight or turning to the left. It also looks like I might have a leak. There's fluid on the lower A arm, but nothing obvious. Anyone have any ideas? I haven't had a chance to get under the truck and look at it. I checked the power steering fluid and brake fluid and both look full. No other symptoms except a sound of the power steering noise at full lock. I plan to take it to a shop this weekend to have it checked out if I can't diagnose the problem.

Were the CV joints the perpetrators? I saw earlier in the thread that you were also considering bringing your truck to a shop - is this a GM dealership or non-GM establishment? We only ask to offer our assistance should you feel you need us to follow up on anything.

Thanks Sarah. The GM dealer closest to me is 30 mins away, so if I decide to take it to the shop, I'll be going to a non-GM garage. I think I'm going to replace it myself. I just need to climb underneath the truck this weekend and verify that it's the CV joint.
09-08-2013, 09:42 PM #9Thanks to you and @Pikey, I was able to get the part and swap it out today. Just like that noise gone.

Kelly Moses sold our house two weeks after putting it on the market. (In a slow economy at that) She was so professional and knowledgable. She gave us great advice and made buying a house very plesant. She sold our house and found us our DREAM HOME! She truly listened to our needs and found the perfect house for us. She followed up the sale by sending us our Tax exemption paperwork. She is truly the BEST real estate professional out there.… MoreLess
Response from Kelly
Kelly has handled the sale of three homes for my wife and I. We have always found Kelly to be highly professional and motivated. She has always represented us in a way that keeps us coming back to her for any of our real estate needs. We would highly recommend Kelly and have done so in the past. She has never let us nor any of our referrals down. She is the best.… MoreLess

Perfect couch for son in his basement lounge, he is 12. It wipes off easily and is low sitting, perfect for the lounge/gamer room he has going on. The bottom where the back would sit one is made of a thin black lining (like the kind you would see under a boxspring) and he stepped through that the 1st day when he climbed over the top to get onto it instead of going around like a normal person. I stapled a heaver weight fabric on there (just like the other fabric is attached) and it seems to be holding up to even him. The seat back held up to him and his friends wrestling on it and hasn't broken, so that in itself should say it all. It is very comfortable to sleep on as well, something I have experienced 1st hand. The cats dug thier claws into the vinyl seat the 1st day I got it and left little pin holds but they are barely noticeable because the underlying fabric is off white all the way through. So in short, if this little sofa/futon can stand up to my family, it would be wonderful for anyone elses.
I was hesitant to order this futon at the time as it had not been reviewed yet but when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised. I was actually glad that the color was not truly white, as my office is beige, black and purple and it matches perfectly. I agree that this belongs in a smaller space and it is low to the ground but it is perfect for me and I like the firmness of the cushion. If you plan on using it as a bed however you should know that it is not suited for a tall person. I am 5'2'' and I fit comfortably but if you are over 5'7" you likely will not be too comfortable. Overall I am glad I made the purchase and the assembly is so easy (you only have to twist on the legs).
So I took the plunge and ordered this futon after reading the only review available at the time. I guess you do get what you pay for even from Overstock! I recommend you check the dimensions because it definitely is small, with a low back and quite low to the ground. We want it for extra seating in our daughter's bedroom in front of the TV and for that it works fine. Would not recommend for a living room but maybe a small den or sun room. Ordinary end tables would be way too tall for this futon. It is definitely more a light beige color rather than even off white, I would say. Also, the back of it is black felt-like cloth and my husband accidentally put his finger right through it when unpacking the box. So be REALLY careful when you unpack it. If you have it sitting against a wall the black back won't show but we have it in the middle of the room so we have to deal with that too. On the plus side, it seems comfortable to sit on and the back has 2 different positions, one straight and one more reclined. In summary, we will be keeping and using it and I hope it holds up well for the price.
The size of this sofa is perfect for the 2nd bedroom in my NYC apartment. Also, the assembly was pretty straightforward. The overall quality of the product, however, is absolutely horrendous. The stitching is generally irregular, and they missed some stitches altogether--which causes the sofa to look cheap or even defective. If I could, I would post photos to show you how bad it is! Also, clearly, it has not been produced with much care, and nobody inspected it before shipping it--as there are threads hanging out from everywhere and the mattress doesn't really fold right (it creates a lump on the right hand side when upright). The color, too, is a bit weird. It is beige, yes, but it has a strange green tint to it, making it look like a hospital sofa. All in all, I regret having purchased this but, frankly, it is too much trouble to ship it back.
Well, it's about what I paid for. A bit bigger than I'd thought, having read the reviews. Measure your space. It's heavy - 54 pounds, I believe, so if you want some little portable thing, this might not be it. The color is accurate with my computer screen, but get it in normal light (not the glamour light of the catalogue), and it kind of looks like a car seat. The backing is that cheapie almost paperish black, so it won't look good in the center of the room as pictured. Also, the legs are plastic and hollow and one of mine came severely chipped. But it serves as a futon - not squishy soft but not horribly uncomfortable. Might slide under the bed with the legs off to store for a pretty firm cot. It's not terrible and kind of cute.
I was looking for something for my spare bedroom/exercise room. It needed to be small like a loveseat, but something I could sleep on if need be. I wanted something with a structured look, too. This futon is just what I needed. It doesn't overwhelm the space, it looks pretty, and I can sleep on it (I am 5 feet tall). The futon is small and is low to the ground. I love this, as I can finally sit on something and my feet reach the floor! In terms of the price and the value of the item, you really cannot beat this deal.
The sofa is very nice looking. I bought it for my office so it is not for everyday use. It is on the small side as a bed and I'm not sure how comfortable it would be to sleep in, but for occasional use it works perfect and looks great.
The look is what I expected, beautiful. However, seating very hard making it not as comfortable for an everyday sitting.
I really like these futons! I ordered two and was very happy!
This futon was very easy to set up. It is simple and easy on the eyes, looks great with colored throw pillows. I have not layed on it though, so I am not sure how comfortable it is.
