Abstract
Richardson, who served as Florida's North District State Coordinator for AFA passed away July 14, 2010. His lifelong passion of Aviculture started when his father, a cattle rancher, designated 20 acres of their Central Florida ranch as protected for the sake of a large Bock of nesting Sand Hill Cranes. Still a young boy, was given his first exotic bird, a parakeet that soon became the light of his to ease the pain of his mother's death. After his formal education and more than 22 years in the U.S. Navy, he opened a new chapter in his life in 1985 by purchasing what he called a 'real' parrot-a 10-day-old Sun Conure that he learned to hand feed and care for; and soon to follow an insatiable quest for learning and dedication to conservation and aviculture. In addition to six or seven specialty dubs, and attending numerous seminars in the United States as well as Canada, he was an active member in AFA since 1992. Bill's true love centered on conures, especially the Pyrrhura genus. Bill, known by many in the avian community as touched us all with his great passion oflife as he shared his stories of Navy life, the best places for real good food in Florida, and of course, his vast avicultural knowledge. He was the information data for the avian community as Jennifer Trescastros explains, Bill was always 'in the know.' He kept everyone updated on upcoming shows, seminars and events. He could find what you were looking for at the price you wanted to pay. He knew everyone who was anyone in the bird business, what their specialty was, and had valid phone numbers for them. It only occurred to me after died that he had single-handedly become the Facebook of aviculturists. remember when asked if he would be my North Florida State Coordinator. His face lit up and he enthusiastically replied, yes! He truly supported AFA and couldn't wait for the next Convention. In the autobiography submitted for his position as Florida North District State Coordinator for AFA, he added ... , I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that while most of us care for our birds and their welfare, and take pride in producing quality babies for the buying public, we all have two extremely important jobs: that of promoting conservation, and public education. With that said, Uncle Bill's mark on aviculture should be his legacy that inspires the entire avian community.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
