BS. The IRS wastes most of its IT budget. If their equipment disappears, that´s because the IRS allows it. If their IT contracts fail, that´s because the #1 priority is shelling money out to cronies. After all, all they have to do is cry and congress gives them more to waste.

Even the most wilfully blind Democrat understands that Lerner did not "lose" her emails because of "technology problems". And they are all smirking with relief that Dear Leader was able to cover his tracks, the rule of law be damned.

There was an article written a little while ago where precious IRS IT workers said there was plenty of money and whatever was needed was purchased. That´s why the email loss was unrealistic.Now we get a completely different story from the management. Wonder why? Perhaps to set up the spin that the IRS is struggling with technology and so it is plausible that emails could be lost.One thing that this picture of incompetence renders. IF this is true, WHY should we trust the government to do ANYTHING?? Basic email service and retention is something ANY moderate or larger company is expected to do. They are also able to secure their systems. Why should the IRS, after throwing massive amounts of money at the issue and STILL FAILING be trusted to do anything competently?BO´s message is that government IS the answer. This shows that government can´t even blow its own nose without messing it up.So what is it? The government deliberately destroyed incriminating evidence of illegal activity tied to the administration? Or that government is too incompetent to be allowed to manage anything but the most minimal and necessary aspects of the country?Either answer says BO is completely unworthy of office.

They had a back up storage system cancelled two weeks after the time was established for the requested emails. Once the contract was cancelled for their back-up service did that company destroy records for 6 to 7 years in which the contract was in effect?

The Best
Be warned - once you've tried this brand of pasta, you will not be able to buy any other. It's a little bit more expensive than most, and it's not that widely available, so you'll have to pay more and shop carefully for the rest of your life. It'll be worth it, though, because you'll be eating the best factory-made pasta known to humankind. Other brands are thin and flimsy by comparison. You can't go back.

excellent quality pasta
this is one of the finest pasta products. It is cut using bronze dies, which leave a 'rough' - 'uneven' surface allowing the sauce to hold better. I can justify the difference in price compared to other brands. However, I wish I could find it on Ocado's seasonal offer listing more often!

ProPublica did some digging into the infrastructure spending bundled into the stimulus package—the $100 billion that promises have the biggest impact in terms of job creation—and found that Wyoming is getting more than $20,100 per unemployed worker while Michigan, a state on the verge of a labor apocalypse, is expected to have to make do with just $2,434.37.
Of course we're talking about "need" in terms of job creation, not infrastructure deficiencies. For all we know, Wyoming has a pothole the size of Vermont.
Vermont, by the way, is getting three times as much per unemployed worker as California.

The many strengths of East Ridge's Taylor LeMay include a refined swing and solid leadership.
East Ridge's Taylor LeMay has become accomplished at reading pitchers, be it from the catching position or while digging into the batter's box. Star Tribune photo: Marlin Levison • firstname.lastname@example.com
Photo: Marlin Levison, Star Tribune
Softball player Taylor LeMay used to be tiny. She was strong at the plate, but it was singles, table-setting and a hit-for-contact approach that defined her.
Then around the summer of her freshman year, she started hitting for power. Improved mechanics, increased strength and high-level coaching have created one of the state's smoothest swings. She hit nearly 20 home runs that summer in elite summer ball, with college coaches taking note.
As the Raptors enter their third season of existence -- LeMay's final one before she moves on to play at Concordia (St. Paul) -- don't expect her progression to slow anytime soon.
"This year, I'm swinging better than I ever have," the East Ridge senior said. "It just keeps going."
Being a catcher, LeMay is a natural at picking up the ball from the pitcher's hand and reading pitches. She's also constantly seeing the ball from behind the plate while honing in on the strike zone as umpires hover behind her. Her timing as a hitter has always been impeccable. By her own admission she's "pretty chill" at the plate.
So how could she improve?
Working with talented coaches over the summer got LeMay to drive her hands a little quicker and put more snap on the ball. She's also following through higher, maximizing her driving and power potential.
Coaching has played a large part in LeMay's rise, but there's one coach who's always particularly been there: Dad. LeMay's father never has said no to Taylor when she has wanted to practice hitting. They still hit two to three times each week outside of games and practices, even during the season.
Aside from swinging the bat, LeMay is an athletic catcher and has quick instincts with a sound glove. She can play the outfield as well, providing versatility that will allow teams to keep her bat in the lineup.
LeMay will be the Raptors' catcher under head coach Tom Nemo. It's the best place for her to show off her greatest quality: leadership.
"If I had to prioritize Taylor's strengths from 1 to 10, I'd probably say No. 1 is that fact," Nemo said.
During scrimmages March 22 in the Stillwater dome, LeMay was in full mentor mode on the bench. Nemo calls her another coach on the bench. LeMay has taken a liking to coaching herself, and with a young Raptors roster, she gets the chance to play that role every day.
LeMay hit a walk-off home run in East Ridge's first home game ever to notch the Raptors first victory. Now she's trying to help the program in a variety of ways.
"It's not about Taylor. It's about her trying to make the other kids around her better," Nemo added.
LeMay will work toward her coaching degree at Concordia, where she will also play college softball. She hopes to finish out her playing career and return somewhere to coach.
Her experience this year will help. The Raptors are young but "talented young," as Nemo called them.
Three sophomore pitchers are adapting to the varsity level. Three starting seniors augment a lineup filled with eighth-, ninth- and 10th-graders.
"Taylor's going to be called upon to be a huge leader," Nemo said.

Moving Past GormanGate
Indulge me for a moment while I play catch-up and note that I, too, have added the "Blog Person" button to the right-hand column on my web site, right above the "RSS bigot" one. I note this mainly because some folks have wondered where it should link to, and I've chosen to point to a Technorati search for "michael gorman bloggers."
Lots of people sent me links to the controversy while I was out sick (thanks!), and others have asked for my opinion on the whole thing. I think you know where I stand, and I don't really have anything to add that is more complex or eloquent than what has already been written. I don't think Gorman should resign, but I do worry that he has alienated a large contingent of people who could have helped both him and ALA in general. My biggest fear, though, is that he doesn't even realize this (kind of like another president we all know), which doesn't bode well for the coming year.
However, I'm not writing this to re-hash the debate. Instead, I think it's time to move past GormanGate and look to the future, let bygones be bygones, and maybe even make a little money. You see, I think we'll probably see many more Gorman editorials as he becomes the official President of ALA. Therefore, I think we should kill two birds with one stone and start a pool to guess what his next topic will be. This will allow us to prepare for the worst, while also providing financial gain for the correct prognosticators.
Of course, this won't be easy, as there are so many different possibilities. I'm having a difficult time choosing just one:

budget priorities
CHICAGO Automotive suppliers confidence dipped slightly in July compared with May, according to the latest survey of members of the Original Equipment Suppliers Association (OESA). The index dropped to 60 from 62 two months earlier.
Some of those surveyed indicated growth may be stymied by an inability to hire qualified personnel fast enough to keep up with new orders and new program launches.
Top budgetary priorities are purchasing capital equipment and hiring direct hourly-salary and temporary-contract employees. Footprint expansion is not considered a key action. As one survey respondent noted: "We already have the footprint, now we need people."
Sixty-three percent of OESA members surveyed plan to boost capital expenditures. Fifty-eight percent of respondents would consider acquiring companies over the next budget cycle, up from 42 percent a year ago.
Objectives prompting those suppliers to consider acquisitions include building market share, accessing new customers or following customers into geographic markets, and accelerating access to new technologies, according to Dave Andrea, OESAs senior vice president for industry analysis and economics.
Some respondents said theyre seeking strategic opportunities across North America, while others mentioned the southern United States and Mexico. Some respondents looked to add value, while others wanted to enhance their geographical reach to support global vehicle build programs.
Others are more focused on Asia, but still developing their strategies for the region. Still others cited vertical integration as a goal.
As for the sentiment index, companies that expressed optimism cited consistent order rates, positive volume trends, an uptick in project quotation activity and new order entries, noting that capacity "is at a premium." Others said they had "growing confidence in the economy."
One respondent warned, however, that "We are still very conservative and now is not the time to get too bullish anywhere but perhaps China and North America."
The OESA July index of 60 compares with a low of 21 in November 2008 and a high of 73 in January 2010. Any number above 50 indicates a positive sentiment.

After the coaches put forth probably their best joint performance yet on the series - and we all had a good laugh at Cee Lo's newest wacky The Voice pet Lady the cockatoo - the contestants all had their chance to wow the coaches. Let's see who impressed us the most...
Team Blake
Last season's victorious coach Blake Shelton was coming in hot Monday night, picking up two of the first three singers shown on screen. First out of the gate was 35 year-old Scottish rocker Terry McDermott. Other than his cute little son, Terry didn't impress me all that much. He sure did wow the coaches though, as three out of four turned around for his version of "Baba O'Reilly." Blake's idea to just let Terry's accent propel him to the championship worked, as the first contestant picked the country star to lead him to the promise land.
Next up for Blake was Gracia Harrison, who I was certain I wasn't going to like when I heard she yodeled. That is exactly why you don't stick to your initial reaction, because I loved her tone, and I actually loved her yodeling. I'm not sure if it was the best country performance ever on The Voice, but I'm pretty positive she won't be singing at county fairs after this season of the show. This time's Blake plea that Adam or Cee Lo would tarnish her country flare if she picked them got him the wanted singer.
It didn't go so well for Blake after that as he turned around five more times and failed to land a single contestant. He finished 2-for-7 (29%), a far cry from his 52% by the end of last season's auditions.
Team Xtina
Like her rival Blake, Xtina was also successful in her first two turns of the giant red chair. First up for the pop diva was De'Borah, who was basically booted from singing at church because of her appearance. The fact that she has a buzz cut and dressed in all hot pink didn't bother the coaches on The Voice (although they couldn't see her anyway). Her unique voice on "Hey Soul Sister" got both Cee Lo and Xtina to turn, but she eventually chose the latter because of her song "The Voice Within."
Devyn Deloera was extremely shy and apparently socially awkward as a child. Thankfully singing got her out of that stage, because she gave a nice performance of "Ain't No Other Man" here. Oh, and she's gorgeous. Xtina sympathized with Devyn for running out of breath on her song, which I think turned the singer in the lone female coach's direction.
Unlike her rival Blake, Xtina didn't turn her chair around for anyone and everyone for the rest of the show. She did, however, fail to earn any more team members, finishing 2-for-4 on the night (50%).
Team Adam
After failing to land a team member in his first three turns, Adam Levine finally got in the mix with Bryan Keith. The only contestant of the night to turn four chairs, Bryan impressed the coaches and less importantly me with an extremely soulful "It Will Rain." He showed strength, range and the ever important raspy quality before picking Adam. You have to give Adam credit for taking the extra time to state his case a second time to make sure he landed this stud.
Later in the night Adam added former back up singer and recent front man Joe Kirkland to his squad. This kid had a great new age rock vibe going for him, and I agreed completely with Adam's assessment of having an aggressive voice but a lot of control. I wasn't surprised at all when Adam and Blake turned around so quickly. Even though Blake pulled the vest card, Joe eventually went with fellow front man Adam.
After missing out on his first three choices, Adam was two-for-two to end the night, finishing 2-for-5 (40%). It wasn't a bad recovery for the coach who led the group with a 60% success rate last season.
Team Cee Lo
Cee Lo is not in last place! Cee Lo is not in last place! It wasn't pretty, but Cee Lo Green's 2-for-6 (33%) on the first night of auditions puts him slightly ahead of Blake Shelton in turn percentage. Last season he was in last for the entire audition process, finishing at 40%.
In his first pickup, Cee Lo beat out Blake for the rights to Daniel Rosa. Daniel auditioned last year but didn't make the cut. This time he had much better pitch, and gave a very different - both in sound and in style - version of "Somebody That I Used To Know." I loved watching Adam run onto the stage to hug him, but I think I loved that Daniel needed to take a breather on the steps even more.
To end the night, Cee Lo won the favor of Trevin Hunte over both Xtina and Blake. Trevin is an 18 year-old from Queens who had a teacher tell him he was wasting his time trying to go to a performing arts school. That teacher probably feels pretty bad now, because Trevin brought down the house. It wasn't MY favorite performance of the night, but the coaches and the crowd loved the heck out of his "Listen."
There you have it. Another season of The Voice has begun, and it was as great as ever! Which was your favorite performance? Who do you think has a shot to win the whole thing And which coach did the best job on Monday? Be sure to come back Tuesday and Wednesday night this week for more analysis of The Voice's blind auditions!

I think much of Simon's complaining is an attempt to get people to watch X Factor more and The Voice less. Last season, the Voice aired for 4 hours on their opening week (2 hours both days). This season, it will be 2 hours,+1 hour + 1 hour, so I don't think they added any hours. NBC just shuffled things around (maybe to accommodate their other new shows???). If I were Simon, I'd be more concerned with the finale of NBC's America's got talent, which will be directly competing with X Factor's premiere on both Wednesday and Thursday.....except that America's Got Talent is also his show.....
@SoapJunk: I agree on that Bob Marley bit. The acapela version was great, but her first attempt was subpar, so I think the coaches got it right.
I loved Joe Kirkland's "Gives You Hell" , but Gracia, Trevin and Brian Keith were also very good. I thought it was a fun episode. I wish someone had turned around for the girl who sang the Bob Marley song.
Ohh the coachrs really cracked me up, cee lo with his fucking BIRD. Nobody can resist that! My favorite was the girl that didn't make it but did a vocal off bob marley no women no cry. She gave me chills!
I think it's entirely too early to be saying or even guessing who will win or say who is even standing out. I wish they'd quit referring to last season as last year because their last season WASN'T LAST YEAR. I do think them returning so soon is a little over kill. There was buzz last week that Simon Cowell was pissed because they added an extra night to their premiere week as it coincides with The XFactor premiere on Wednesday. And there is a new twist on this season. I've read that the coaches may be able to take a singer from another team. Can't wait to see how that plays out.... I still love THE VOICE. It is SO much better than American Idol!
Joe Kirkland all the way!!!

Intel is planning a new range of low-power micro processors that can be used in wearable devices including smartwatches and bracelets.
Dubbed as Quark, the line-up is said to use less battery power and integrates into small devices.
Intel's CEO Brian Krzanich said the new chips would be five times smaller in size and 10 times more efficient than the chipmaker's Atom processors for tablets and smartphones.
"We're very committed to not missing the next big thing," James said.
Scheduled to be shipped in 2014, the processors will be offered in multiple variants and tailored for user requirements.
Intel is also planning sell chips built on 14nm process by the 2013, while tablets incorporating Intel chip set to be in stores in time for the holiday season.
Tech firms including Microsoft, Google, Samsung, LG, Pebble, Qualcomm and Sony are already in the wearable device race, while Samsung, Pebble and Qualcomm have launched their smartwatches.

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun
By Steve Brennan
By Ashley Zimmerman
Sure, Mary Karlzen sings like a coal miner's daughter and lives in Wisconsin, but she's originally a South Florida home girl who got her break with local outfit Y&T Music. Her third album, Dim the Watershed, released on Y&T in 2000, helped legitimize the hype regarding South Florida's musical talent at the time, and even though she's moved on, the trajectory of her career is worth tracking. Her newest project, The Wanderlust Diaries, suggests that Karlzen is in touch with her muse and once again singing troubled songs about bittersweet circumstances. She offers a dark rendition of Tom Wait's stirring "Heart of Saturday Night" in emotive fashion, and it's no surprise that many of the album's lo-fi piano ballads are drenched in melancholia. She's been accused of navigating paths already worn down by Sheryl Crow and Fiona Apple, and that criticism unfortunately bears some truth. But she manages to break free of those comparisons with the more upbeat entries on Wanderlust,"Oh My," "Stupid or Something," and the infectious "Friends Along the Way," suggesting a rare celebratory mood. Sonically, it doesn't hurt that Karlzen gets studio support from vocalist Garrison Starr, Wilco drummer Ken Coomer, and bassist Garry Tallent from Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. Local favorites Robert Reynolds and Paul Deakin of the Mavericks also lend contributions, as does singer Jolynn Daniel. So if Wanderlust sometimes seems more wistful than resolute, it's still an impressive document heralding a welcome return.

Yes, I remember it as Decoration Day, as well. My grandmother would cut un-opened peonies and put them in her root cellar to keep cold until Decoration Day. We would drive to her house and then on to the cemetery and decorate the graves of relatives. After this, we would go to my uncle's house for dinner. I was 8 when we moved far away, but I still remember those special days.
These days I honor those who protect and serve the United States, and those who have given their lives for us.

I hope your weekend and Memorial Day has been wonderful dear friend. We got a whopper of a wind and rain storm here yesterday, but other than that I had a great time with my mom and sister who are visiting. I read your post before about how the wind had hit your garden hard. It has been so windy here lately too and it drains me to work in it so I think it was a good break to have my family come to visit and take my mind off it : ) I know you and I have similar weather and circumstance, and somehow it keeps us gardener's hopping doesn't it? I guess that makes us all the more thankful to get the blooms we get.

Weekend at Burnie's - Curren$y
- Band Name: Curren$y
- Record Label: Warner Bros.
- Release Date: Jun 28, 2011
- Record Label: Warner Bros.
- Genre(s): Rap, Pop/Rock, Southern Rap, Hardcore Rap
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 9 out of 12
Mixed: 3 out of 12
Negative: 0 out of 12
Jun 30, 2011The results are just about as great as expected. Perhaps more than ever, the rapper paints the world of the faded, the dense and the spacey are a labyrinth for Curren$y's creation.
Jul 26, 2011At some point in that outrageous lifestyle that flips between videogames and spitting stoned, stupid raps, he makes hard, smart decisions about what to lend his voice to and how that should be packaged.
Jul 12, 2011It's a welcome surprise to hear this skilled but fundamentally indolent rapper try to awaken himself from his stupor on Weekend at Burnie's, which is both moodier and more vibrant than most of his recent work.
Jun 30, 2011On Weekend At Burnie's, Curren$y has crafted a record he's probably chilling out to right now.
Jan 13, 2012The mellow is never harshed, and the promise of sunny weekend stoner music from the '80s is maintained the whole way through.
Aug 1, 2011Weekend at Burnie's has earned a regular spot in my iPod rotation. I may not be a full-ledged jet but I when I do fly I've got no problem letting Curren$y be my pilot.
Jul 26, 2011The problem here is that not only is no progress made, Weekend at Burnie's might just be an artistic regress.
Score distribution:
Positive: 4 out of 4
Mixed: 0 out of 4
Negative: 0 out of 4
Mar 5, 2012Nice work by currensy. Never disappoints with his albums. Even though his albums dont sell that good he still on hell of an artist.

Pork knuckle made easy: new joint on Prinsep Street, Der Biergarten, serves pork knuckle deboned for easy pickins'. The skin is crunchy and well seasoned, the meat tender, and the sauerkraut isn't puckerish. True to their name, this is served with a dark beer gravy. This portion is good for two to four persons ($48); a single portion is also available at $24. They have quite a few good dishes up their sleeves - also try their very tender Guinness beef cheek ($36). We'll make this even easier for you - you can book a table via our app.
I spent $45 per person.
Must tries: German Pork Knuckle, Braised Beef Cheeks

This application claims priority under 35 USC �119(e) and is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/993,316, filed on Nov. 19, 2004,now known as U.S. Pat No. 7,209,040, issued Apr. 24,2007, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
This invention relates to radio frequency identification technology, and more particularly to Homodyne RFID Receiver and Method.
RFID or radio frequency identification technology has been used in a variety of commercial applications such as inventory tracking and highway toll tags. In general, a transceiver tag or transponder transmits stored data by backscattering varying amounts of an electromagnetic field generated by an RFID reader. The RFID tag may be a passive device that derives its electrical energy from the received electromagnetic field or may be an active device that incorporates its own power source. The backscattered energy is then read by the RFID reader and the data is extracted therefrom.
Several technical hurdles must be overcome in order to make RFID work. Typically, the backscattered energy from the RFID tag contains relatively low power and has a short range. There is also a tendency for the transmitted signal to leak into the received signal path in the reader, thus introducing noise. Neither the distance between the RFID tag and reader nor the phase relationship between the backscattered signal and the local oscillator in the reader is known. The RFID system must also function where the RFID tag has a non-zero rate of displacement and/or acceleration toward or away from the RFID reader. In toll road applications, for example, it is desirable to permit a RFID tag a speed of at least 100 mph.
Because the RFID reader's local oscillator frequency is identical to that of the carrier frequency, the receiver is a homodyne detector. In a homodyne receiver, more than a single detected channel is required to detect the backscattered signal's amplitude modulation envelope because signal nulls may be present depending on the signal phase relative to the phase of the local oscillator. These signal nulls have traditionally been overcome by using a second detector or mixer that is at a 90 degree phase shift from the first local oscillator. The output of the two mixers are usually combined in an image-reject configuration, or alternatively, by processing the signals in the digital domain. However, both solutions have proven to be undesirable.
Aspects of the present disclosure are best understood from the following detailed description when read with the accompanying figures. It is emphasized that, in accordance with the standard practice in the industry, various features are not drawn to scale. In fact, the dimensions of the various features may be arbitrarily increased or reduced for clarity of discussion.
In operation, carrier signal generator 20 generates a radio frequency carrier signal that is combined with an information signal generated by the microcontroller 24. In particular, the transmission signal output from transmitter 14 includes the carrier signal modulated by the information signal. The transmission signal is radiated by antenna 16 to a transponder or RFID tag (not shown) located in proximity of transceiver 12. The RFID tag may be stationary or moving relative to the transceiver 12. The signal radiated back from the RFID tag in response to the transmitted signal is captured by antenna 16 and delivered to receiver 12. Receiver 12, having two mixers, is operable to mix the received signal with both the in-phase (I) and quadrature or 90� out-of-phase (Q) phase components of the locally-generated carrier signal to avoid signal nulls. The two resultant baseband signals may be further demodulated by FSK demodulator 26 and the data extracted by microcontroller 24. A decision circuit based on precise RSSI information for both of the IF channels decides which of the IF channels is valid for further processing by the digital controller. Details of receiver 12 and operations thereof are described below with reference to
The in-phase and quadrature signals from the mixers are amplified the 44 and 46, respectively. The output of amplifiers 44 and 46 are coupled to blocks 48 and 50, respectively, which are operable to determine the amplitude levels of the in-phase and quadrature signals. The output of blocks 48 and 50 are coupled to the inputs of a comparator 52, which is operable to determine which signal has the larger amplitude level. The output of comparator 52, is labeled �I/Q COMPARISON� for ease of identification and indicates whether one signal is larger than the other. For example, if the in-phase signal is larger than the quadrature signal, then I/Q COMPARISON output is high, and if the quadrature signal is larger than the in-phase signal, the I/Q COMPARISON output is low. The output of amplifiers 44 and 46 are also coupled to data slicers 54 and 56, respectively. Data slicers 54 and 56 compare the amplified mixer outputs to a predetermined analog level and provides a digital logic output indicative of whether the input is greater than or less than the analog level. If the mixer output is greater than the analog level, then the output of the data slicer is a logic one or high; if the mixer output is less than the analog level, then the output of the data slicer is a logic zero or low. The output from data slicers 54 and 56 are labeled �I DATA� and �Q DATA� , respectively for ease of reference. The I DATA and Q DATA signals are digital level signals that have no phase shift except for either a 0 � or a 180 � phase shift, and at least one of the signals is a valid non-null signal.
Note that the received RF signal from the RFID tag may be processed by one or more filters (bandpass, low-pass, and/or high-pass filters), limiters, amplifiers and other suitable components to remove unwanted noise, strengthen and otherwise condition the signal. These components are not specifically shown in
The input to polarity switch 72 are the output of XOR gate 70 and majority decision block 74. Majority decision block 74 is coupled to delay blocks 76 78, which are coupled to the output of another XOR gate 80. XOR gate 80 receives I DATA and Q DATA and determines whether these two signals have the same or opposite polarity. Delay blocks 76 78 and majority decision block 74 makes a correct determination even if there is a certain timing delay between I DATA and Q DATA up to half of the delay time in the delay blocks.
An XOR gate 82 is coupled to multiplexer 62 and polarity switch 72 and generates a reconstructed signal at its output. The polarity of the reconstructed signal is flipped or not flipped by XOR gate 82 to prevent a 180� phase shift in a data transmission. The reconstructed signal is the demodulated digital level signal with a constant phase shift regardless of the location of the RFID tag or whether it has a non-zero displacement. Since it is unknown what the polarity setting of polarity switch 72 is when there is no valid I DATA or Q DATA signal present, the polarity of the signal during a datagram transmission is not known. Further data encoding and/or datagram formatting allows for a polarity insensitive decoding. Examples of data encoding includes FMO, FM1, NRZ (non-return to zero), NRZI (non-return to zero inverted) encoding formats; an example of a sub- carrier modulation is frequency-shift keying (FSK) modulation; and an example of datagram formatting uses particular fixed and known run-in patterns. Although the polarity of data in a datagram as output by this circuit is unknown, the polarity does not change within a datagram.
In implementation, the functional blocks of digital circuit 60 of the receiver may be combined into one logic component and may be implemented by a programmable logic device or filed programmable gate array, for example. Alternatively, the functions carried out by the digital portion of the receiver may be implemented in computer software and executed in microcontroller 24 (
The signal that has a larger amplitude is selected in block 108. The amplitude comparison may be made by comparator 52 and the selection may be made by multiplexer 62. In block 110, a determination is made as to whether the I DATA and the Q DATA signals have the same polarity. This determination may be made by XOR gate 80. Another determination is made in block 112 as to whether an amplitude transition is occurring. Amplitude transition occurs when the signal having the larger amplitude is transitioning to the other signal. This determination may be made by delays 66 and 68 and XOR gate 70. If the amplitude transition is determined to have occurred, then the selected signal's polarity is flipped in block 114. This may be accomplished by XOR gate 82 with condition input from polarity switch 72. In block 116, the resultant reconstructed signal is the demodulated RF signal received from the RFID tag.
The system and method described herein is more robust and yet low-cost solution in particular for applications where fast-moving RFID tags and weak tag signals are expected. The system and method described herein does not employ unreliable analog phase-shifting of the baseband signal typically used in image-reject mixer configuration. Unreliable analog decision circuits are also not needed to determine which signal from the mixers are valid.
Although embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes, substitutions and alterations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. For example, a bandpass filter may be implemented by a low-pass filter and a high-pass filter. Accordingly, all such changes, substitutions and alterations are intended to be included within the scope of the present disclosure as defined in the following claims. In the claims, means- plus-function clauses are intended to cover the structures described herein as performing the recited function and not only structural equivalents, but also equivalent structures.

In 2004 he ran against Mitch Daniels for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, and now he's touring the state to speak out against high property taxes.
Eric Miller says he has a plan for a constitutional amendment to abolish property taxes altogether. And, he says he's only a few votes away from getting it on the ballot.
Miller held his third "rally" tonight with his group, "Advance America," this one in Goshen.
More than 250 people packed a senior center in Goshen to hear Miller spell out his plan. He told stories of individuals whose property taxes doubled or tripled within a year, and the Elkhart county crowd seemed to relate. After all, they recently experienced a property tax increase that averaged 29 percent.
Miller admits that every other state has property taxes, and this would be a first; but says a repeal would also attract business interests to the state.
Miller would only need a simple majority to get the amendment through the legislature, and he says he already has 19 senators and 41 representatives who support the plan.
He would only need 7 more senators and 10 more representatives on board to send the amendment to voters.
"I'm pleased that we have representative bill Ruppel supporting us, Representative Jackie Walorski supporting us, Tim Neese, also supporting this effort to repeal property taxes. Having local elected officials, legislators, stand with us, has been a tremendous help in north central Indiana," Miller said.
"The first step is to start the repeal, and then start finding other ways to finance schools, everything, and eventually work on consumption taxes and income taxes," Rep. Ruppel said.
Miller is pressuring Governor Daniels to call a special session to address the issue, and says it could be on the ballot by 2010, and in effect by 2012.
Miller stressed accountability in spending in his hour-long speech, but his plan also includes a 2% sales tax increase, and a 1% income tax increase statewide.

"How to match the experience your customers want with the experience your company can actually deliver"
According to a new Forrester Consulting study, 79% of customer service decision-makers and 89% of customer-facing workers admit there's a gap between the customer experience they can deliver and what the customer wants. Gaps in systems and customer support waste critical time that could be spent personalizing the customer experience. This wasted time puts your company at risk of losing frustrated customers and valuable employees, and ultimately levies a significant cost to your business.

In what has become a monthly announcement, another home magazine has shuttered it's doors. The three year run of Domino magazine will end with their last issue and they will also shutdown the website. We've been pleased to be listed among the "sites we love" section and we suggest checking it out before they turn it off for links to a lot of other great home improvement and decor websites and blogs.
As Apartment Therapy states, Domino joins the ranks of Blueprint, House & Garden, O At Home and Cottage Living who have all closed in the past year.
But as the print mags continue to fall the venerable decor websites such as Apartment Therapy, Design*Sponge, and Decor8 keep marching on.

Hennessy Sports8th December, 2009
Reigning WBC World Super Middleweight Champion and Super Six stalwart Carl Froch's achievements have been recognised following an incredible 12 months for the Nottingham man. Froch is celebrating having won a hat trick of awards over the past week but "The Cobra" insists that 2010 will be even bigger promising fans that, "You ain't seen nothing yet!".
Froch has been feted by the British Boxing Board of Control as their Boxer of the Year while the sports governing body in Britain also honoured Froch for his part in their Fight of Year (his thrilling win over Jean Pascal last December to win the WBC title).
There was further good news for the unbeaten 32-year-old last week when he was voted as the BBC East Midlands Sports Personality of the Year for 2009 having been chosen as the winner by viewers and listeners to the BBC in the East Midlands.
"Last year was great, this year's been fantastic and next year's going to be even better," said Froch who also received confirmation over the weekend that his next Super Six outing against Danish superstar Mikkel Kessler will take place in April.
Froch's promoter Mick Hennessy revealed, "We've confirmed a date of April 17th for the Kessler fight. It will take place in Denmark and will be on at around 10pm in the evening U.K. time which is great news for British fight fans. It's going to be an absolutely massive event and it should attract a huge audience.
"It's an incredible fight between two of the World's best and most exciting fighters. Carl proved with that sensational KO over Jermain Taylor that he can go into the lions den and beat the very best in the World and I've no doubt he'll prove that again against Kessler.
"Carl's been outstanding over the last 12 months. He's had three massive fights in a row against Jean Pascal to win the title, a sensational knockout against Jermain Taylor in the U.S. to retain it and then opening his Super Six account by handing Andre Dirrell his first defeat. He's shown the kind of mental and physical toughness in those fights that I don't think any other British fighter in recent times has possessed."
Froch's thrilling WBC title win over Canadian star Pascal kept fans at the Trent FM Arena in Nottingham and the millions watching live on ITV1 on the edge of their seats as the two men put their undefeated records on the line in a toe to toe classic.
Froch ultimately prevailed to celebrate a magnificent points victory that will live long in the memory of all those who saw it. Clearly it impressed the voting panel on the BBB of C with the bout earning their Fight of the Year award.
The Nottingham man also received the Boxer of the Year award having followed up his thriller with Pascal with a stunning final round win over former
Undisputed Middleweight champ and marquee U.S. name Jermain Taylor. The dramatic win was made all the more impressive by the fact that Froch's dramatic win came on the road at the Foxwoods Resort in Connecticut as he showed American fight fans just why he has a growing reputation as one of the most exciting fighters in the sport.
Froch's win over Taylor secured his place in the Super Six World Boxing Classic, a ground breaking new tournament that is revolutionising the sport.
In his opening bout in the Super Six in October Froch was back home in Nottingham to hand touted American Olympic medallist Andre Dirrell the first defeat of his pro career in another successful WBC title defence.
This years BBB of C's awards ceremony in London last week also celebrated the centenary of the prestigious Lonsdale belt, the prize awarded to all British title holders and a belt which Froch won outright himself back in 2006 following his third successful defence of the British Super Middleweight title.
