This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/396,490 filed Jul. 17, 2002, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/368,639 filed on Mar. 28, 2002, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.
The present invention generally relates to wireless spread spectrum communication systems. In particular, the invention relates to data transmission and reception in such communication systems.
In code division multiple access (CDMA) communication systems, multiple communications may be simultaneously sent over a shared frequency spectrum. Each communication is distinguished by the code used to transmit the communication.
In some CDMA communication systems, to better utilize the shared spectrum, the spectrum is time divided into frames having a predetermined number of time slots, such as fifteen time slots. This type of system is referred to as a hybrid CDMA/time division multiple access (TDMA) communication system. One such system, which restricts uplink communications and downlink communications to particular time slots, is a time division duplex communication (TDD) system.
One approach to receive the multiple communications transmitted within the shared spectrum is joint detection. In joint detection, the data from the multiple communications is determined together. In the following description a capitalized symbol X represents a matrix, and the symbol {right arrow over (x)} represents a column vector. The joint detection is typically modeled per Equation 1:
A Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) estimate for the data vector {right arrow over ({circumflex over (d)} is obtained from Equation 4:
Similarly, a zero forcing (ZF) estimate is obtained from Equations 6A and 6B:
In a CDMA system, when all codes go through the same propagation channel, as in the case of a typical downlink transmission or when one uplink user monopolizes a time slot (H(k)=H) the transmitted vector of spread symbols {right arrow over (s)} are obtained from Equation 7:
The MMSE estimate for the spread symbols {right arrow over (s)} is obtained as shown in Equations 9A and 9B:
When multiple antennas are used at the receiver, the received vector may also be represented by Equation 1. The definition of the vectors and matrix involved are modified to represent the contributions from different antennas as per Equation 11:
When multiple transmit antenna elements, such as M transmit elements, are used at the transmitter, the received vector {right arrow over (r)}i is also per Equation 1. The appropriate definition of the vectors and matrix involved is represented in Equation 13:
The components of A due to an ith antenna element is denoted as Ai′. Each Ai′ component has contributions from all K users per Equation 14:
Multiple antennas at both the transmitter and the receiver are referred to as a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system. The received signal for a MIMO system may be represented by Equation 11 rewritten as Equation 16.
A receiver implementing these approaches effectively performs a matrix inversion, which has a high complexity. To reduce the complexity, an approximate Cholesky decomposition or fast Fourier transforms are used. Although these approaches reduce the receiver complexity, it is desirable to have alternate approaches to simplify the transmitting and receiving of data.
In the system of the present invention, a channel response is determined as a channel response matrix H approximating a wireless channel that the data will experience after transmission. The data to be transmitted is spread, and the spread data is processed with the channel response matrix H. The spread and processed data is then transmitted. The data is received and recovered from the transmitted spread and processed data.
The system of the present invention is described herein conjunction with a time division duplex (TDD) mode of a CDMA system, (such as the proposed TDD mode of the third generation partnership project (3GPP) wideband CDMA system). However, the invention can be applied to any spread spectrum communication system, such as frequency division duplex (FDD) system or a time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) system.
The data is spread using the appropriate code(s), pre-equalized to compensate for the anticipated channel responses of the wireless radio interface 18 and modulated, such as by using quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) or other modulation schemes, and to upconvert to radio frequency. The radio frequency signal is radiated by an antenna or M element antenna array 16 1-16 M through a wireless radio interface 18.
An antenna, or N element antenna array 20 1-20 N, at the receiver 12 receives the radiated signal with other signals and noise as a received vector {right arrow over (r)}. A data detector 22 processes the received vector to recover the data {right arrow over (d)}. The structure of the data detector 22 is preferably simplified over a typical joint detection receiver due to the pre-equalization at the transmitter 10, such as by being implemented by code matched filters.
The transmitter 10 effectively compensates for the channel distortion prior to transmission. As a result, the received vector {right arrow over (r)} is approximately the spread data vector {right arrow over (s)}.
The pre-equalization makes use of the channel and code information available at a receiver 12 to process the transmit vector appropriately so that when that signal is received at the receiver 12 it is already compensated for channel impairments. The channel information can be signaled from the receiver 12, may be derived from signals received at the transmitter 10 within the same frequency spectrum. To illustrate, for a base station of a TDD/CDMA communication system, the channel information may be gathered in an uplink time slot for a subsequent downlink transmission time slot.
When processing at the transmitter 10 is used, the received signal obtained from Equation 20A:
The code matrix C1 through CM can differ based on the transmission scheme. One such system is space code transmit diversity (SCTD), where each antenna is assigned a different transmission code. In some transmit diversity schemes, the same code matrix is used for each antenna. One such scheme is transmit adaptive antenna (TxAA). Although transmit processing using receiver functions is described in conjunction with each antenna transmitting the same code matrix C, it is also applicable to systems where the code matrix varies by antenna using an analogous approach.
In some systems, the transmit data bits {right arrow over (d)}1 through {right arrow over (d)}M can differ based on the transmission scheme, in particular whether transmit diversity is used. Although an analogous approach can be applied to systems having differing data vectors per antenna, the following is described in conjunction with each antenna transmitting the same data vector {right arrow over (d)}. For systems where the same data and code matrix is transmitted from each antenna, the system is modeled per Equation 21:
The pseudo-inverse of H from the right is HH(HHH)−1. The data signal after processing is transmitted with this pseudo-inverse. Accordingly, the transmitted signal {right arrow over (t)}′ is shown by Equation 23:
The resulting received vector is shown in Equation 24:
If the pre-equalization is ideal, a clean signal is received 12 at the receiver without any need for further processing. However, in practice due to noise and variations in the channel conditions, typically some degradation to the received signal occurs. However, the required processing to remove degradation is greatly decreased, further increasing the required complexity of the receiver 12.
One of the advantages of a MMSE or ZF type receiver is that MMSE or ZF circuits are commonly at the transmitter 10 site. To illustrate, a base station typically has an MMSE type receiver. Accordingly, a single MMSE circuit can be used for processing the received and transmitted data at the base station. As a result, the circuitry for a receiver 12 and a transmitter 10 implementing transmit processing using receiver functions can be consolidated into either the UE or the base station, with the other communicating unit having simplified circuitry.
For example, the base station may use the pre-equalization transmitter 10 and a MMSE receiver. The matrix or effective matrix inversion can be performed by the same circuit. As a result, the receiver circuitry at the UE can be simplified, such as a single or group of code matched filters. The simplified receiver circuitry also extends the battery life at the receiver 12.
The common used circuitry is not limited to MMSE or ZF receiver circuitry, but it is rather general in that any receiver 12 structure that is capable of performing matrix operations and calculating matrix inverse is suited to do processing at the transmitter 10. Another advantage of the pre-equalization is that the transmitted signal is focused on the receiver 12. For downlink signals in particular, the interference to other users is reduced.

Dragons Avoid Sweep, Win 5-2
DAYTON — The Dayton Dragons scored five runs in the fifth inning and went on to defeat the Quad Cities River Bandits 5-2 on Friday night before a crowd of 8,487 at Fifth Third Field. The Dragons snapped a four-game losing streak with the win and avoided a sweep of the three-game series with Quad Cities.
Dragons starting pitcher Nick Travieso (9-5) pitched out of two bases-loaded jams to keep the River Bandits off the scoreboard over the first five innings. Quad Cities loaded the bases with one out in the first inning and then put three men on base with no one out in the fifth, but Travieso was able to work out of trouble both times. Travieso left after five innings, allowing three hits and no runs with five walks and five strikeouts.
Alejandro Chacin worked the final two innings to earn his 11th save. He struck out four while allowing two hits but no runs.
The Dragons five-run rally started when Carlton Daal lined a double to left field with one out in the fifth. Nick Benedetto followed with a double to left to drive in Daal and give the Dragons a 1-0 lead. After Jamodrick McGruder walked, Jonathan Reynoso bounced a single off the second baseman into center field to drive in Benedetto and move McGruder to third. Tanner Rahier lined a single to center to drive in two more runs, and Rahier scored on Phillip Ervin's double over the head to the center fielder to make it 5-0.
Quad Cities scored two runs in the sixth to pull to within two at 5-2, but they could not sustain a rally the rest of the night.
The Dragons finished with 10 hits. Rahier, Ervin, and Daal each had two hits. The Dragons (15-18) open a new three-game series against the Cedar Rapids Kernels (17-15) on Saturday at Fifth Third Field at 7:00 p.m. Jackson Stephens (2-2, 4.10) will start the game for the Dragons against Cedar Rapids' Chih-Wei Hu (2-0, 2.00).

A-Trak - Dipsh*ts
Artist: A-Trak
Featuring: Cam'ron, Juelz Santana
Producer: A-Trak, Oliver, Just Blaze
Album: Federal Reserve EP
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 9 votes )
Thought Cam'ron and his circle were no longer a force to be reckoned with? Then the title of the Harlem mainstay's latest feature is referring to you. On a new single off his forthcoming collaboration with A-Trak, Killa scoffs at all who would question the Diplomats' continuing relevance in the music game, crowing "It's still Dipset, you Dipsh*ts!" A-Trak, Oliver and Just Blaze back that assertion up on the production tip, cooking up a sampled beat with a classic Dipset feel, and Cam comes with impressive bars to match. Juelz Santana handles guest duties, and Dame Dash caps the cut off with an epic, ad-libbed rant. Ricky Saiz directs the official visuals. The Federal Reserve EP has yet to receive a drop date from the label brass but, as always, fans can keep it locked for the latest news and singles.

Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Froch Has The Ability To Break Lucian Bute
During his recent trip to Las Vegas, WBC/WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward spoke to BoxingScene.com about the potential fight between Carl Froch and IBF champion Lucian Bute. Last month in Atlantic City, Ward decisioned Froch to win the Super Six Boxing Classic. There have been discussions about a 2012 collision between Froch and Bute, although Showtime would rather have the Canadian star face Ward.

Ward himself got worn out while succeeding at keeping Froch at bay for 12 rounds, it's a very real possibility that Bute, who has been worn down late in a fight, would not be able to keep Froch off while tired the way Ward did.
I think Froch would get to Bute late. Bute is very good at controlling distance, but Froch has shown he wouldn't go anywhere. Eventually that wears on a fighter.

Yeah Dirrel vs Abraham is unfinished business but Froch vs Dirrel was just a poor fight that nobody wants to see again.
Ward knows how strong Carl is late on and he has seen vulnerability in the Bute - Andrade fight that alot of people are forgetting

Bute is a bigger stronger just as athletic version of Sergio Martinez its going to take a special fighter to beat him right now and his name ain't C Froch maybe Andre Dirrell Ward definitely beats him that's about it

A jury has convicted an Arizona inmate of capital murder in the killings of an Oklahoma couple who crossed paths with him and two other fugitives on a New Mexico highway.
The verdict was reached Monday after the monthlong trial of John McCluskey.
He also was found guilty of carjacking and other charges in the August 2010 deaths of Gary and Linda Haas of Tecumseh, Okla.
McCluskey could be sentenced to life in prison or the death penalty.
The charred remains of the retired couple were found among the wreckage of their burned-out travel trailer on a remote ranch in eastern New Mexico.
The Haases were killed three days after McCluskey and two other inmates escaped from a prison near Kingman, Ariz. Witnesses testified the couple was targeted for their truck and travel trailer.

The long trip to Monahans didn't have a happy ending for Sweetwater's teams on the diamond Tuesday. They will both play host to Wylie when District 4-3A action resumes this Friday.
Monahans 7, Sweetwater 3
Sweetwater (15-4, 2-1) dropped out of a tie for first as Monahans led 5-0 after one inning and held on to hand the Mustangs — who had won 12 straight — their first loss since Feb. 22.
Sweetwater is now tied with Snyder for second with Wylie (3-0) atop 4-3A.
Monahans (1-2) jumped all over starting pitcher Ste-phen May in the first inning, using four hits and three errors to lead 5-0 and also scoring runs in the third and the sixth. Sweetwater, which was out-hit by Monahans 8-6, matched its lowest run total of the season.
Luis Carrasco did it all for Monahans, hurling a complete-game win and going 4-for-4 with two RBI at the plate. His RBI single in the third made it 6-0 after May was replaced by James Clift on the mound. Sweetwater finally scored when J.P. Poe reached on an error and came home on Tyler Beas-ley's RBI double in the fifth inning.
But Monahans got the run back when Carrasco hit a one-out single in the sixth and scored on an outfield error with two outs.
Sweetwater scored twice in the seventh inning. Poe singled and scored on a double by Hayden Reeves, and Isaiah McGee singled to score Reeves. But Carrasco ended the rally by getting a flyball for the final out.
Greg Aiken also doubled for Sweetwater with one out in the sixth, only to be stranded. Clift pitched well in relief, giving up two hits, no earned runs and fanning six with no walks in four innings of work.
Monahans 7, Sweetwater 4
Sweetwater (9-10, 0-4) took a 3-0 lead in the first, getting on the board on Abby Garcia's two-run single and an RBI single by Naomi Gonzales. However, the lead vanished when Monahans (2-2), after two runs in the third, pushed across four runs in the fourth for a 6-3 lead and the Lady Loboes held on for the win.
Cierra Knox had two hits for Sweetwater and Maddie Berry (double) and Lauren Jones had the other hits.
Berry gave up nine hits, four earned runs and struck out four with two walks in going the distance. Bailey had three of the hits for Monahans and scored three runs. Knox, Garcia, Morgan Gomez and Shaneese Brown all scored for Sweetwater.

St. Anselm students visit Vietnam
GOFFSTOWN - A half-dozen St. Anselm College students are immersing themselves in the culture of Vietnam as they spend their holiday break visiting historic and cultural sites.
The trip is part of a history course entitled "Vietnam Past and Present," and students, along with history professor Matthew Masur, are traveling the country for an in-depth learning experience that reaches far beyond the classroom.
The group recently visited the Cao Dai Temple and experienced New Year celebrations in downtown Ho Chi Minh City.
Students are blogging to record some of the highlights of their trip, from learning the many different names for rice to the thrill of having a pizza party that featured pies from Pizza Hut, which reminded them of home.
The group is visiting Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi with excursions to the Mekong Delta and other historic and cultural sites including Cu Chi, and Cao Dai.
The two-week program immerses students in historical and modern Vietnam through Vietnamese roommates, academic excursions around the country, lectures, and activities with Vietnamese peers.
Students will learn about pre-colonial and colonial history, the Vietnam War, the modern economy, Vietnamese demographics and society, and the educational system.
Masur aims for his students to make the connection between history and contemporary society in all facets of Vietnamese life.
In addition to historical sites and museums, the group will visit the Hong Ngoc Humanity Center that supports people with disabilities, discuss environmental issues, and learn about Eastern medicine, including traditional Vietnamese medicine and acupuncture.
Part of the immersion process for the students includes a homestay where the group will stay with a Vietnamese family during their two-day excursion to the Mekong Delta, giving students insight into Vietnamese daily life.
In addition, while in Ho Chi Minh City, the students will room with Vietnamese college students.
"Instead of rooming together, this arrangement allows them to see things tourists don't usually see," Masur said.
To complete the course, students will journal while traveling and write a final paper. Masur teaches U.S. History and American Foreign Relations as well as courses on the Vietnam War, modern China, and modern Japan.

November 26, 2014
DENVER (AP) VA Deputy Secretary Sloan Gibson is addressing a veterans convention in Denver days after his department said it wanted to fire two supervisors accused of manipulating health care data in Colorado and Wyoming.
Gibson will speak to the Military Order of the Purple Heart on Tuesday.
The Veterans Affairs Department said last week it planned to discipline six Colorado and Wyoming employees, including the two facing dismissal.
The six include a regional director who oversees health care in nine states and the director of the veterans hospital in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The VA didn't say if they were the ones who could be fired.
The firings would be the strongest discipline handed out since May in a nationwide scandal over falsifying records on how long veterans wait to get health care.

Candy canes are very popular holiday treats and are often used to decorate Christmas trees. That hooked shape certainly makes them whimsical and able to hang on tree boughs. But candy canes weren't always the curved and colorful treats they are today. In the 1700s, candy canes were nothing more than straight white sticks of sugar candy used to decorate Christmas trees. A choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral decided that having the ends bent to depict a shepherd's crook and passing them out during church services would help keep children quiet. It was not until roughly the 20th century ...

Netherlands, 1983 (MIFF 1984)
When a party of drunks becomes trapped in a lift in a high rise office building and almost suffocates before being rescued, a maintenance man, Felix Adelaar,is called in to check the installation. He finds nothing wrong, when the lift apparently, lures a blind man to fall to his death in the lift shaft, and when it decapitates a security guard, the press gets interested.
Felix is sought out by a woman journalist, Mieke De Beer, who grows suspicious of the lift's electronic controls which were supplied by a Japanese firm. When a cleaner, who has a criminal record, is killed in the lift, the police assume that the saboteur got his just reward and close the file.
Felix and Mieke, though, continue to probe the mystery. They discover that the Japanese electronics firm developed an organic microchip device that is not only capable of growing, but is programmed to evolve us own personality. When a colleague of Felix, also trying to solve the mystery, becomes insane after his experiences in the malevolent lift shaft, Felix is ordered to go on holidays. However, determined to find an explanation for the deaths, he breaks into the building and faces the organic computer.
Director Dick Maas' deft direction is enhanced by the fine performances of the protagonists. Melbourne audiences will remember Willeke Van Ammelrooy (Mieke) who visited the Festival some years ago.

Two words: Mike Trout.
The Angels rolled their way to the best record in baseball last season on the strength of one of the best offensive units in the league. With a lineup featuring the current best player in the game as well as one of the greatest right-handed hitters in its history, they paced MLB with 773 runs scored and a collective .277 TAv. Pitching wasn't quite as pretty, as the Halos' 3.58 team ERA ranked just a middle-of-the-pack 15th even though they call one of the more pitcher-friendly parks in baseball home. Despite the overall mediocrity of the staff, there were several standout arms for fantasy purposes, with guys like Garrett Richards and Matt Shoemaker coming out of nowhere to produce strong returns on FAAB investments.
Despite the regular season success the Orange Countians were quickly dispatched from the playoffs by the Tasmanian Devil that was your October 2014 Kansas City Royals. But with only Jason Grilli headed from a contributing role into free agency this offseason they'll head into 2015 as the early favorites to repeat as Western Division champions, and they currently project to feature pretty much the exact same cast of fantasy-relevant characters. Let's take a look at what they have to offer.

The Jays have the longest active postseason drought in the majors, but they also have players that can help your fantasy team get there.
With the Royals' magic carpet ride to Game Seven of the World Series in October, the dubious distinction for longest playoff drought in Major League Baseball now belongs to the Toronto Blue Jays, who haven't played a meaningful game since Joe Carter touched 'em all. But despite those real-world sorrows the Canadian club continues to produce valuable fantasy players year after year, particularly on the offensive side of the ball. Rogers Center again played as one of the best ballparks in baseball to catch a souvenir in 2014, and the Blue Jays' high octane offense checked in third in the Majors in both homeruns and team ISO, fifth in runs scored, and eighth in TAv. And for its part, the pitching staff, while overall poor and inconsistent, managed to produce some sneaky interesting performances. With a wave of young pitching talent set to break imminently, there is promise for more in the immediate future as well.
The Jays will enter this off-season set up for a relatively modest amount of turnover. Two of their starting outfielders from a year ago, Melky Cabrera and Colby Rasmus, will hit free agency, and while the club recently shipped Adam Lind to Milwaukee in order to clear some payroll, it appears unlikely either will be back with Toronto in 2015. Pitching-wise, the rotation cup is poised to runneth over. Last year's starting five should all remain under club control, and while the club recently declined injury-riddled Brandon Morrow's option several young MLB-ready prospects will be waiting in the wings for trial runs throughout the year. The departures of closer Casey Janssen and injured set-up man Sergio Santos will open up the back of the bullpen for a competition or free agent signings as well. Let's take a look at how the roster is currently shaping up as we enter the offseason.

The Braves outfielder is a better fantasy asset than you think.
Last winter, I wrote a fairly lengthy piece over at Dynasty Guru detailing my frustration with Justin Upton as a longtime owner in my primary dynasty league. The verdict: The move to Atlanta in 2013 had been a net negative for Upton's fantasy profile, as organizational philosophies emphasizing swinging for the downs and limiting stolen base attempts were poised to restrict Upton's batting average and stolen base contributions. I later doubled down a month into the season with a pretty brutal deconstruction of Upton's successful-on-the-surface April efforts, ultimately recommending a sell-high on account of an exploding swing-and-miss rate on in-zone fastballs and an unsustainable BABIP. My conclusion, which mind you was not necessarily unwarranted by the numbers, suggested "an ugly dossier of negative indicators for performance going forward—one that does not at all suggest that Upton's strong surface start is evidence that he's finally turned the corner as he enters his physical prime. Nigh on every indicator of successful hitting has not only failed to improve over the past couple of seasons, but is instead regressing at a fairly rapid pace right now."
So, what happened next? Well, from that sell recommendation to the end of the season he maintained a .259/.330/.462 line with 21 homers, 147 R+RBI, and five steals en route to the 37th-most valuable fantasy season overall (14th among outfielders). Not on par with his April campaign, when he was the second-most valuable outfielder behind Jose Bautista, but certainly well-above average numbers across the board. The batting average was a slight liability and the steals were token contributions. His power production, on the other hand, was highly valuable even after he tore through a good bit of his full-season value in April. His .313 TAv was the second-best mark of his career, checking in 21st among all qualified hitters. Here's the real kicker, though: I wasn't particularly wrong in any of the analysis I offered of Upton's offensive flaws in either of those articles. He logged the numbers he did despite a whole bunch of glaring red flags. So what do we make of him as a fantasy asset going forward, and how should he be valued come draft day 2015?
October 21, 2014 6:00 am
The Royals shortstop won't be a sexy name on draft day, but there's a lot to like about his fantasy profile.
Player Background
Despite the shortstop-of-the-future billing, the Brewers shipped the then-23-year-old to Kansas City as the centerpiece of the Zack Greinke trade after he struggled in his first full big-league season. Since arriving in KC, Escobar has pretty much developed into exactly the type of player scouts envisioned him becoming. He hasn't posted a walk rate over 4.2 percent in any of his four seasons in Royal blue, nor has he managed to crack the .100 ISO threshold or generate league-average offensive value.
October 10, 2014 6:00 am
After he held his own against Clayton Kershaw in the deciding game of the NLDS, is the righty's arrow pointing upward for 2015?
And on we march to the LCS! Unfortunately, one of the teams making that claim this year yet again is the Cardinals, who dispatched my Dodgers to the golf courses of Southern California for the second straight year. And one of the guys who helped set up their 412th-straight NLCS clash with the Giants was 23-year-old Shelby Miller, who pitched 5 2/3 reasonably strong innings in the Division Series clincher.
Now, if you rewind just two months to the beginning of August, this highlight would've been an improbable one to predict. At the time, Miller was staggering his way through a terribly disappointing sophomore campaign. His 4.14 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through July were paired with ugly strikeout and walk rates, resulting in a brief demotion from the rotation and an ownership rate that cratered at 67 percent in Sportsline leagues after the All-Star break. Hope for the breakout that many envisioned pre-season looked to be as fleeting as Miller's command, and those with long-term dynasty league investments in the talented right-hander were exploring options to ship him for cents on the dollar as trading deadlines approached.

The outfielder has transformed his offensive game since coming to D.C., but can he sustain the improvements into 2015?
Welcome to the most glorious of days: the first of maybe two (if we're lucky) days annually when we get a full schedule of four playoff baseball games. Several of my colleagues have already kicked off our Playoff Spotlight series with looks at the various fantasy values of several players who either are or were at one time playing in this year's post-season. Pieces on Eric Hosmer, Josh Donaldson, and Edinson Volquez all await your consumption.
Today I'd like to turn my attention to a player I have a long personal history of fantasy entanglement with, Washington leadoff hitter Denard Span. Span's coming off his best fantasy season since his first full year in the Majors back in 2009. His .302 average, 31 steals, and 94 runs combined to catapult him into the top 15 overall fantasy outfielders in 2014, just like I drew it up in the preseason when I was completely sold on the likelihood of that happening. So how did Denard get his groove back, and what's the likelihood that what he did this year is repeatable in 2015?

Examining some pitchers whose second-half ERAs belied strong peripherals to see whether a breakout 2015 might be in store.
Well, it's that magical time of year. The season is winding down, and here we sit preparing to begin our annual stare into the frozen, dead abyss of a fantasy-baseball-less winter. Fortunately, those of us in keeper and dynasty leagues are somewhat exempt from this situation because, as the saying goes, there is no offseason. This is actually, legitimately one of my favorite times of the year for those formats, as it's the time when we can start to analyze the breakouts and the disappointments of the past season and begin to construct rudimentary target lists for upcoming trade talks over the winter and, in shallower formats, drafts next spring. I play primarily in head-to-head leagues, and particularly in this format I've found the following exercise to be quite valuable as a quick and dirty starting point. Since head-to-head championships are determined by player performances during weekly format playoff matchups the it tends to open up opportunities for acquiring players on the relative cheap who performed poorly down the stretch and may have contributed to a league-mate losing his or her final matchup. This "recency bias" plays off exactly the kind of negative memory impact my colleague Jeff Quinton took a long and engaging look at last offseason, and I highly recommend the read for context.
One of the primary places I like to direct my efforts at the start of each off-season is the FIP bin of second-half pitching performances. Particularly given that starting pitchers will usually only get one shot, maybe two, to contribute in a head-to-head matchup a poor finish to the year can sting that much more. And the metric also provides a valuable opportunity to sniff out some emerging talent among guys who may have started to come into their own at the big league level but might not quite have the production (or, subsequently, the hype) to back it up just yet.
To this end, here are the top 20 pitchers with the biggest gap between their second-half ERA and FIP numbers:

For the last time this year, Wilson helps you set your fantasy rotation with a look at next week's two-start pitchers.
Welcome to your final Weekly Pitching Planner of the 2014 season.
It's been real writing this column for you this year, and I hope it's been as informative for you to read as it has been for me to write. The final week of the season is notoriously difficult to predict for pitching matchups, as both teams that are out of the hunt as well as those with nothing left to clinch in the regular season will often shut guys down before their final starts and otherwise shuffle up their rotations on the fly. So the best I can offer you at this juncture is a snapshot of who's currently lined up for two starts with the caveat that you should make sure to double check how things look about an hour or so before your rosters lock for the week and go with your gut.

Helping you set your fantasy rotation for next week with a look at the two-start pitchers.
Welcome to the Weekly Pitching Planner!
It appears as though the Orioles are planning to slot in a sixth starter next week for Tuesday's matchup with Toronto, which will render them two-start-less. Also lacking two-startitude will be the Red Sox, who it seems are bound for a six-man (at least) rotation for the duration of the season. The Marlins haven't announced their starters for next week as of this writing, presumably hinting at a possible shuffle in advance of what may be their last-gasp series with the Nationals next weekend. Stay tuned for that one. The Rangers also haven't announced their plans, though given the combination of pretty poor options in that rotation and a fairly tough away schedule at Oakland and Anaheim, I wouldn't pay a ton of attention to how that one shakes out. Finally, the Twins' rotation is in flux after presumable two-start pitcher Kyle Gibson got bumped by Wednesday's rain. They haven't announced a Monday starter, though if it remains Gibson (on short rest), he'd be a "sit" against Detroit and Cleveland.

Helping you set your fantasy rotation for next week with a look at the two-start pitchers.
Welcome to the Weekly Pitching Planner!
By now most head-to-head leagues are squarely into playoff territory, and that's an unfortunate thing pitching-wise, because the pickin's are slim this week for quality two-start options. Just three auto-starts and six straight "start" recommendations between both leagues, and the NL is particularly buried in difficult options. Even owners in shallower league are going to be forced to make tough choices this week, which will inject some unwanted indecision into the playoff picture. As far as standard abnormalities go, the White Sox have not announced a starter for Monday or Tuesday at this point, and both will be lined up for two-start status, albeit with tough draws at U.S. Cellular against the A's and Twins. The Giants have also yet to announce who will take the slot most recently occupied by the MLB record-holder for most consecutive batters retired, and it is that slot that will line up for two starts next week. Whether it remains Yusmeiro Petit or defaults back to Tim Lincecum, it'll be a start worth considering, as it'll be a home-and-home set involving the hapless Diamondbacks. And finally, the Cubs will be switching to a six-man rotation down the stretch, as they work some of their young arms into September looks and play it safe with the workloads of others. It's a strategy I wouldn't be to see more from out-of-contention teams given that two-fold benefit.

Helping you set your fantasy rotation for next week with a look at the two-start pitchers.
Welcome to the Weekly Pitching Planner! It's that magical time of year when the calendar flips to September and the playoffs wander into town like a surly drunk in fantasy leagues near and far. There's a decent crop of two-start options this week, as a handful of rainouts and wrap-around series have extended the options for some teams, while only the White Sox and Astros will be limited to five-game schedules. The Tigers still haven't confirmed a starter for their Tuesday/Sunday slot in the wake of Anibal Sanchez's setback, but given the collective performance of their no. 5 starters over the last few weeks (8.44 ERA over nine starts totaling just 37 1/3 innings), whoever it is will be unlikely to warrant consideration. As always feel free to use the comments section to request additional ramblings on a certain pitcher not covered in the write-ups below.
On to the nuts and bolts: Outside of the elites, two-start pitchers are often as much or more trouble than they're worth. Rare is the week in which the stars align to offer your starters not just one but two consecutive tasty matchups. As a result you'll notice that sometimes the better starters will find themselves in the "consider" category, because they might have one good matchup but a second tough one. And similarly, less-talented hurlers might just meander their way into "start" territory on account of a plum schedule. The pitchers will be split by league, and then by categories:
