HOAGY CARMICHAEL "Mr. Music Master" Original Recordings 1928-1947
Notwithstanding his popular – and perhaps overriding– image as the café pianist in the Bogart classic To Have And Have Not (Warner, 1945) and the drawling, laconic crooning-star caricature of his later years, Hoagy Carmichael played a major role in the development of early 20th century jazz and its dissemination to a wider audience.
One of the most innovative pianist-songwriters in popular music history, Hoagy was born Howard Hoagland Carmichael, the eldest of three siblings, in Bloomington, Indiana, on 22nd November, 1899. His mother Lida, a noted pianist in the local silent cinema, encouraged the young Hoagy's interest in the piano which, from an early age revolved mainly around ragtime and its derivative … jazz. (As Indiana was at that time the hub of the popular music-publishing concerns which had sprung up during the 1890s, he now seems to have been ideally placed for exposure to the right elements).
Hoagy's undoubted talent for improvisation was brought to the fore by the black ragtime pianist Reggie Duval, whom he first met shortly after his family moved to Indianapolis, in 1916, and as a teenager he gained his first professional experience in the brothels and speakeasies of that city before returning in 1919 to Bloomington to complete his high-school studies and, the following year, enrolling as a law student at Indiana University. Already a skilled improviser and a prolific songwriter, Hoagy there formed the noted jazz band which would remain a regular feature of campus dances until his graduation in 1926 and while still an Indiana undergraduate, in 1922, he met his greatest musical soul-mate in Bix Beiderbecke (1903-1931). Until Bix's premature death the two men remained the best of friends (legend has it that Hoagy made Bix famous by hiring the legendary jazz cornet virtuoso and his Wolverines to play ten consecutive weekend gigs at the University), but their reciprocal musical admiration and influence proved even more far-reaching: the tunes of "Skylark" and "Stardust" are believed to have been inspired by Bix's playing.
In 1923 Hoagy wrote the piano solo "Freewheelin'" which was later revamped as "Riverboat Shuffle" and recorded by the Wolverines in Richmond, Indiana, on 6th May, 1924. The Wolverines' pianist, Dick Voynow, succeeded in placing this number with the New York based Irving Mills music publishing company and, on the strength of its success, Mills offered Hoagy a job as an arranger and song-plugger. Hoagy, however, was keen at that stage to pursue a career at law, and rejecting the offer accepted a position as a clerk in West Palm Beach instead. But when, in 1926, Mills published "Washboard Blues", this development put Carmichael back on track as a composer and as a piano soloist and the die was cast. He made his own first recording of the song in 1925 with the Curtis Hitch Band and it was also a success for Red Nichols (1926; a US No.13 hit in 1927) and Paul Whiteman (1927; with Hoagy as piano soloist and vocalist; a US No. 17 in 1928).
During 1927 Hoagy wrote "Barnyard Shuffle", a piece which, re-christened "Stardust", was first recorded – without vocal – on October 31 of that year, by the composer himself and his Collegians Band (a rather amorphous jazz ensemble, with varying personnel, they are also heard here in a swinging version of Shelton Brooks' 1916 "Walkin' The Dog". In 1928 Don Redman featured the still wordless "Stardust" and, in January 1929, Mills published it in New York as a piano solo. At last Mitchell Parish (born 1900) was commissioned by Mills to add the now universally-known lyrics and, with more than 1,300 recorded versions to date, one of the world's most enduring popular song standards was born. Encouraged by the success of this song Hoagy moved to New York where he remained until 1936. Through Bix's contacts he assembled a host of the finest white jazz musicians which at one time or another featured Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, Ed Lang, Joe Venuti, Jack Teagarden, Frankie Trumbauer and others for the first recordings of such hits as "Rockin' Chair", "Lazy River" and "Georgia On My Mind" – this last a classic jazz-standard which was the subject of a 1960s Ray Charles hit-revival, was first inspired by Trumbauer and was given lyrics by Hoagy's college-mate Stuart Gorrell (1902-1963).
In 1931 three changes occurred in Hoagy's world which changed his attitudes to music and to life: Bix's sudden death, Hoagy's invitation to join the American music publishers' association ASCAP (effectively a passport to any up-and-coming songwriter) and the upturn in the movie industry (the only American industry really booming at that time). With the advent of the film-musical and the Swing Era he became less jazz-orientated and more commercially aware both as a writer and as a performer. His songs were regular features
with the great black jazz-dance orchestras, particularly Duke Ellington and Fletcher Henderson and, before 1935, he had himself cut over 50 sides for the Victor company, including "Sing It Way Down Low", "Snowball", the lyrical "One Morning In May" and "Lazybones" (originally a 1933 smash hit for the Mills Brothers, Hoagy claimed he wrote this best-selling song with lyricist Johnny Mercer (1909-1976) in just 20 minutes!).
By 1936 Carmichael had arrived in Hollywood (that same year, coincidentally also the year of his marriage, his song "Little Old Lady" received its first airing on Broadway in the musical The Show Is On) and in 1937 he was hired by Paramount as a staff songwriter. There, he began his long and fruitful association with the great New York-born lyricist and songwriter Frank Loesser (1910-1969) – their early collaborations including "Small Fry" (a hit for both Crosby and Mercer), "Heart And Soul" (a success for Connee Boswell) and "Two Sleepy People" (for Bob Hope and Shirley Ross).
With his reputation as a Hollywood songwriter still growing, Mr. Music Maker Carmichael continued his links with New York's Tin Pan Alley. In the early 1940s, after the US entry into World War 2, he played his own special part in the war-effort by giving "the world something to hum" (or even to whistle) with such tunes as "Baltimore Oriole", "Don't Forget To Say "No"", "Baby, Old Man Harlem", "Billy-A-Dick" and "Doctor", "Lawyer, Indian", Chief (the last two heard here in scarce alternative versions recorded for the American Recording Artists label).
All of his recordings of the pre-1950 period achieved varying degrees of success: the ironic "Hong Kong Blues" reached No.6 in this 1945 recording, "Ol' Buttermilk Sky" (a collaboration with English lyric-writer Jack Brooks which earned an Oscar nomination when Hoagy himself featured it in the Universal western Canyon Passage, this was a December 1946 No.2), whereas his only No.1 (ironically not actually a Carmichael composition) came that same year with the sadistically droll "Huggin' An' Chalkin'". Hoagy Carmichael died in Palm Springs, California, on December 28, 1981.

Infinera Completes OSMINE Services Process for DTN-X and DTN Platforms
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/01/13 -- Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN), a leading provider of Digital Optical Networks, announced today the test completion of Ericsson (formerly Telcordia Technologies) Operations Systems Modification for the Integration of Network Elements (OSMINE) Services process for the Infinera DTN-X platform and the latest release of the DTN platform. This was fulfilled for various products within the OSMINE process including inventory management via TIRKS®, fault management via NMA® System, and service provisioning via Transport Element Activation Manager.
The test completion of Ericsson's OSMINE process is a significant event for Infinera. OSMINE certification enables U.S. Tier 1 service providers to successfully integrate Infinera's DTN-X and the latest release of DTN into Ericsson Operations Support Systems (OSS) ensuring the interoperability of Infinera platforms with existing systems and enabling service providers to accelerate their network deployment rapidly upon selection of Infinera. This is also a first for any network equipment vendor to accomplish an OTN-based OSMINE certification that includes ODUflex capabilities as the Infinera DTN-X and DTN are based on an advanced architecture that integrates WDM transport and OTN switching including ODUflex/ODU0 granularity in a single platform.
"Completion of the Ericsson OSMINE process is an important achievement for network equipment suppliers looking to sell into the Tier 1 market," said Elisabetta Romano, Head of OSS, Business Unit Support Solutions, Ericsson. "This industry-recognized OSS network integration process validates that vendors like Infinera are ready to sell into the Tier 1 market and provides service providers with the confidence that the DTN-X and DTN platforms are network-ready solutions." "The test completion of OSMINE for DTN-X and DTN is a critical milestone for Infinera," said Tom Fallon, Infinera CEO. "This certification satisfies the requirements for our existing customer and proves to U.S. Tier 1 service providers that Infinera solutions can now operate with the Ericsson OSSs." Infinera is the first to commercially deliver optical networking solutions based on Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs). The Infinera DTN-X platform features 500 Gb/s long-haul super-channels based on the FlexCoherent� Processor, scaling transport capacity without scaling operational complexity. In Dell'Oro's Q3 2012 quarterly long-haul optical transport market share report, the DTN-X achieved the number one market share position with 38% worldwide share of 100G ports recognized for revenue. Infinera's DTN platform features 100 Gb/s PICs and revolutionized the marketplace in its initial release. Both platforms are deployed in networks globally, offering service providers simple, scalable, and reliable optical network solutions.
About InfineraInfinera specializes in Digital Optical Networking systems that are designed to continually improve the economics of optical networking by combining the speed of optics with the simplicity of digital. Infinera is unique in its use of breakthrough semiconductor technology: Large Scale Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC). Infinera's systems leverage PIC technology to provide customers with a service-ready architecture that enables faster time-to-revenue and greater profitability through network efficiency and the ability to rapidly deliver differentiated services without reengineering their optical infrastructure. For more information, please visit
This press release contains forward-looking statements including, among other things, statements relating to Infinera product capabilities, advantages, and the current and planned future functionality including: that completion of OSMINE process enables U.S. Tier 1 Service Providers to accelerate network deployment rapidly upon selection of Infinera; that this is a first for any network equipment vendor to accomplish an OTN-based OSMINE certification that includes ODUflex capabilities; that this certification satisfies the requirements for existing customers and proves to U.S. Tier 1 service providers that Infinera solutions can operate with the Ericsson OSS; that the Infinera DTN-X platform scales transport capacity without scaling operational complexity, that the DTN revolutionized the marketplace in its initial release and that both platforms offer service providers simple, scalable, and reliable optical network solutions. These forward looking statements are based on our current expectations. Actual results may vary materially from these expectations as a result of various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, aggressive business tactics by our competitors, our dependence on a single product, our reliance on single-source suppliers, and our ability to respond to rapid technological changes. Further information about these risks and uncertainties, and other risks and uncertainties that affect our business, is contained in the risk factors section and other sections of our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2012, as well subsequent reports filed with or furnished to the SEC. These reports are available on our website at www.infinera.com and the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Infinera assumes no obligation to, and does not currently intend to, update any such forward-looking statements.

As State Senator Chris Beutler of Lincoln said Monday that he will not seek a seat in Congress, another candidate entered the first district race.
Senator Curt Bromm of Wahoo, a Republican, is scheduled to officially announce his candidacy Thursday.
He has scheduled stops in Falls City, Nebraska City, Fremont, Blai, South Sioux City, Norflok and Tekamah to make the announcement.
Beutler's name surfaced as a possible Democratic candidate after Republican Congressman Doug Beureuter recently announced that he would not seek a 14th term.
Beutler is considering a run for governor in 2006.
Three other Democrats had already announced their plans to run for the seat being vacated by Beureuter.
They are Senator Matt Connealy of Decatur, Fremont attorney Jane Stewart and Schuyler businessman Phil Chase.
Beureuter has thrown his support behind Bromm.
Republican Lieutenant Governor Dave Heineman has said he is seriously considering running.

A Tablet Bearing a Curse Found in Jerusalem
Friday, October 25, 2013
JERUSALEM—Archaeologists with the Israel Antiquities Authority discovered a 1,700-year-old lead tablet while excavating a collapsed Roman mansion in an area of Jerusalem known as the "City of David." There appears to be a curse written on the tablet in Greek, in which a woman, Kyrilla, condemns a man named Iennys over a legal dispute. Scholars believe that the tablet might have been created by a professional magician.

My Frugel Horn Mk3 Build
Hi All,
I built some Frugel Horn Mk 3s about a month ago and I've finally got round to take some photos and post the results. First things first. They sound amazing. I'm not a hi-fi buff, but to my untrained ears, when coupled with an old cambridge audio amp and cd player I liberated from a dusty corner in my uncle's garage, they produce the best quality recorded sound I've heard. Second things second. This is my first DIY project. Ever. So I know the build isn't perfect! I'll share some lessons learned in my subsequent posts. Lastly, thanks to the designers of the Frugel Horn. Thanks for sharing! |

I chose to use 18mm hardwood ply for the build. I chose the 18mm over the 15mm as I wanted a chunkier pair of speakers. In hindsight, I would have gone for the 15mm, as the 15mm design's baffle covers the entire front face of the speakers. i.e. it covers the sides the top and the bottom when viewed from the front. This would make the finishing easier, particularly if your ply has holes in the layers.
An alternative of course is to make sure you get good quality ply. I think I was ripped off at the saw mill with poor quality ply that had holes in the layers. This meant I needed to use wood filler to get an even finish. However, it is hard to match the colours, and it is tough to sand once dried. I used a non-gloss, clear wood varnish. 3 coats. The red tinges you can see on the baffles are from where I got too frisky with a belt sander and sanded through the top layer to a lower, darker layer of the ply. Finally, when cutting the wood, make sure to use the appropriate plan: 18mm or 15mm. Stupidly, I made some cuts using the 15mm plan, but was lucky in that I just needed to trim them down to the correct 18mm dimensions. Had it been the other way, using 18mm plans to cut 15mm ply, I would of wasted a lot of wood. |

When gluing, I didn't have any clamps, so I just laid the sides on the floor, added glue to the side plates along marked lines, then put the baffle, back, interior, top and bottom in place (applying glue to them too). Wood glue immediately has enough stickyness to hold the boards in place and you have up to 10 minutes to adjust them until they are perfectly in place. After I was happy with their positions, I placed heavy paint posts flush to the sides to give some stability, then balanced heavy objects on the top. It worked a treat.
The reason the alignment didn't come out perfectly in the end result was due to me not being able to cut 5 degree edges to the ply. I used a plane to attempt it, but it wasn't a great result. Another factor, was that the baffle actually curves slightly. Another sign of poor quality ply perhaps. Anyway, I didn't have enough wood to change it. |

I used synthetic pillow stuffing and old carpet underlay for the baff. The underlay I glued in place using impact glue which worked well.
I used quite thick electrical cabling for the internal wiring. I think the diameter was about 2mm copper (can't remember exactly). Although I understand there is a direct relationship between the quality of the sound and the thickness of the wire, I would have used thinner wire in hindsight. The rigidity of the thick wire makes it awkward to solder in place. A final few notes on soldering. Watch out for the speaker magnet! It seems obvious as I write this, but the soldering iron will be strongly attracted to the speaker magnet. Also, be carful when heating the driver contacts not to melt the soldered connection further along the circuit towards the speaker cone. |

for sure one of the advantages of the thinner single strand wire is much faster / easier soldering

While I haven't started cutting wood yet, I do have the wood and drivers. The build starts as soon as I finish the current three way build (yes I'm a double agent). I plan to go with the CHR70.3s, but I will also try EL70s.
I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. |

Comments Thread For: Victor Ortiz: If Lopez Wants a War, We'll Go To War!
Victor Ortiz has tried his best to downplay any controversy with Josesito Lopez.
The former WBC welterweight champion repeatedly reassured anyone that thinks he isnt focused on fighting Lopez June 23 in Los Angeles that hes not looking ahead to a Sept. 15 pay-per-view showdown with undefeated Saul Canelo Alvarez. Lopez (29-4, 17 KOs, 1 NC) and his handlers are insulted because Golden Boy Promotions, which represents Ortiz and Alvarez, officially announced their fight last Tuesday, a week-and-a-half before Oritz will oppose Lopez.

Not ever have I felt that way. Dude seriously? No. The only case where a man or woman may not be good enough for a woman or man, is if they weren't good to their selves. For example, if I was just drinking my life away and not giving two ***** about people's feelings then I would not be good enough for anyone because I'm just being a dipshit and not being good to myself. But if you're content with your life, but don't have high education, that doesn't mean you're not good enough. She's just aspired for more out of life is all.
I think love is an equal opportunity employer; aren't you being a little hard on yourself??
Nothing ventured; nothing gained kiddo! You may feel awfully foolish one day years from now when you run into her and she asks, "why didn't you ever ask me out"! Ask me how I know....
i'm a freaking janitor....and old.....and she looked right past that....she never made me feel that way.....i got over it real quick

Description [0001] The present invention relates generally to multimedia transmission. [0002] Multimedia such as video and audio can be transmitted over a number of paths, including cable, the Internet, cellular and broadcast. For instance, satellite or terrestrial broadcast stations or cellular systems can be used to transmit multimedia to mobile computing devices such as mobile telephones. The multimedia data can be formatted in accordance with Moving Pictures Expert Group (MPEG) standards such as MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (also used for DVD format), MPEG-4 and other block based transform codecs. Essentially, for individual video frames these multimedia standards use Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) compression. In JPEG, the image of a single frame is typically divided into small blocks of pixels (usually 8�8 and/or 16�16 pixel blocks) that are encoded using a discrete cosine transform (DCT) function to transform the spatial intensity values represented by the pixels to spatial frequency values, roughly arranged, in a block, from lowest frequency to highest. Then, the DCT values are quantized, i.e., the information is reduced by grouping it into chunks by, e.g., dividing every value by 10 and rounding off to the nearest integer. Since the DCT function includes a progressive weighting that puts bigger numbers near the top left corner of a block and smaller numbers near the lower right corner, a special zigzag ordering of values can be applied that facilitates further compression by run-length coding (essentially, storing a count of the number of, e.g., zero values that appear consecutively, instead of storing all the zero values). If desired, the resulting numbers may be used to look up symbols from a table developed using Huffman coding to create shorter symbols for the most common numbers, an operation commonly referred to as �variable length coding�. Other variable length coding schemes can be used as well, including Arithmetic coding. Motion pictures add a temporal dimension to the spatial dimension of single pictures. MPEG is essentially a compression technique that uses motion estimation to further compress a video stream. Other non-block-based encoding schemes such as wavelets, matching pursuits, etc can be used. Other forms of multimedia include audio, graphics, etc. [0003] Internet Protocol (IP)-based principles such as point-to-point protocol (PPP) framing of IP packets can be used to communicate multimedia data, including MPEG data. PPP can be used not only for communicating IP packets over wired portions of the Internet, but also to communicate data over wireless transmission paths to user computers that employ wireless communication principles such as but not limited to code division multiple access (CDMA) technology, GSM, wideband CDMA (WCDMA or UMTS), OFDM and other wireless technologies. [0004] Typically, multimedia data is voluminous, which means that significant transmission path bandwidth, unfortunately a finite resource, must be used. This is particularly the case for high fidelity multimedia, e.g., high resolution video. That is, the higher the quality of service (QoS) provided, the more bandwidth must be used. [0005] As recognized by the present invention, several multimedia streams can be pooled together in a single channel. The channel might have a constant overall bandwidth in terms of bit rate, i.e., the number of bits that can be transmitted in the channel per unit time cannot exceed the �bandwidth� of the channel. Typically, each stream in the channel will be accorded a fixed fraction of the bandwidth. Accordingly, the bit rate for each multimedia stream typically is fixed. [0006] A �base layer� is an MPEG-related term that may be defined as the most important part of the multimedia bit stream which, if successfully received, decoded, and presented to the user, would result in a baseline level of video, audio, or other multimedia stream acceptable to the user. On the other hand, an �enhancement layer� would, when combined with the base layer, enhance or improve the quality, resolution, frequency, signal-to-noise ratio, etc. of the multimedia stream when presented to the user, compared to that of the base layer alone. [0007] With the above discussion in mind, it will be appreciated that in wireless transmission of multimedia to battery powered mobile devices, three goals�efficient bandwidth use, mobile device power consumption, and highest QoS�compete with each other. This is particularly true when one considers that wireless channels are more �lossy� (they experience more lost data) than wired channels. To guarantee some higher levels of QoS, extra bandwidth might be required for retransmission of lost data. The alternative is to accept lost data frames and, hence, reduced QoS. These problems become more severe the further a receiver is from a base station, and with high use channels. As an alternative to retransmission, a software application in a receiver experiencing reduced QoS can attempt to execute advanced error correction schemes, but this in turn drains the battery of the receiver by requiring the RF receiver to be on longer and requiring more complex decoding, and may still result in unacceptably low QoS. Having recognized these problems, the below-described solutions to one or more of them are provided herein. [0008] A wireless transmission system for multimedia information having plural layers includes a mobile station (MS) that selects which layers to transmit either to or from the mobile station based on channel conditions, and/or mobile location, and/or mobile station limitations, and/or user priority, and/or content priority, and/or billing plans, and/or forward error correction (FEC) used for a particular layer. The MS may also energize its radio only as long as necessary to receive preselected portions of the multimedia based on an actual error rate and/or power in received data, and/or a forward error correction (FEC) rate. [0009] In a preferred non-limiting embodiment, if an actual error rate at least equals a threshold for a particular layer, the MS energizes its radio only during periods containing information pertaining to layers other than the particular layer such that mobile stations energize their radios only to capture layers they can use, thereby conserving mobile station battery life and decoding processing power. The MS may energize its radio only during periods in which layers which employ sufficient FEC and/or power to be received, demodulated and decoded are present for reception. [0010] In another aspect, a method for transmission of multimedia data characterized by at least a base layer and at least one enhancement layer includes receiving, from at least one base station (BTS), information representing at least one actual operational parameter associated with the multimedia data. The method also includes dynamically establishing, at a mobile station (MS), an error correction rate and/or a power level of at least one layer of the multimedia data based at least in part on the information representing at least one actual operational parameter. [0011] In yet another aspect, a mobile station (MS) for wirelessly transmitting digital multimedia having at least N layers to at least one base station (BTS) includes means for transmitting only N-1 layers or fewer, based on at least one of: FEC rates, power levels, channel conditions, mobile location, mobile station limitations, user priority, content priority, and billing plans, sufficient to allow the layers to be successfully received, demodulated, and decoded by the BTS. [0012] In another aspect, a mobile station (MS) for wirelessly receiving digital multimedia having at least N layers from at least one base station (BTS) includes means on the MS for instructing the BTS to transmit only N-1 layers or fewer, based on at least one of: FEC rates, power levels, channel conditions, mobile location, mobile station limitations, user priority, content priority, and billing plans, sufficient to allow the layers to be successfully received, demodulated, and decoded by the MS. It is to be appreciated that a mobile station user may choose to have only a portion of the multimedia stream transmitted to the MS from the BTS (e.g., a user who wishes just to listen to the audio portion of a television program without viewing it). [0013] The details of the present invention, both as to its structure and operation, can best be understood in reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts, and in which: [0014]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the present architecture; [0015]FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an exemplary non-limiting transmitting system; and [0016]FIG. 3 is a flow chart of the present logic. [0017] Referring initially to the non-limiting preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a system 10 includes at least one mobile station 12 having at least one processor 14 and at least one base station (BTS) 16 transmitting digital multimedia streams and having a processor 18. In some implementations the BTS 16 may be a combined BTS and base station controller (BSC). [0018] The preferred non-limiting BTS 16 uses wireless means, and more particularly uses code division multiple access (CDMA) principles. The streams can be broadcast or multicast to plural mobile stations 12 if desired, or transmitted using point-to-point wireless transmission principles, or multicast to groups of users. It is to be understood that the present principles apply to other forms of wireless communication such as GSM, TDMA, wideband CDMA, OFDM, etc. as well as transmission of multimedia over cable systems, the Internet, etc. As used herein in the singular, �multimedia stream� means a single stream representing a single program, e.g., a single music piece or a single television show or movie potentially with accompanying text, images, etc. [0019] In one non-limiting preferred implementation the system 10 is a code division multiple access (CDMA) system that, e.g., uses cdma2000, cdma2000 3�, or cdma2000 high data rate (HDR) principles, or other CDMA principles. In one non-limiting embodiment the mobile station 12 is a mobile telephone made by Kyocera, Samsung, or other manufacturer that uses Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) principles and CDMA over-the-air (OTA) communication air interfaces. The present invention, however, applies to other mobile stations such as laptop computers, wireless handsets or telephones, data transceivers, or paging and position determination receivers. The mobile station 12 can be hand-held or portable as in vehicle-mounted (including cars, trucks, boats, planes, trains), as desired. However, while wireless communication devices are generally viewed as being mobile, it is to be understood that the present invention can be applied to �fixed� units in some implementations. Also, the present invention applies to data modules or modems used to transfer voice and/or data information including digitized video information, and may communicate with other devices using wired or wireless links. Further, commands might be used to cause modems or modules to work in a predetermined coordinated or associated manner to transfer information over multiple communication channels. One example could be to transfer different layers over different channels including different physical layers of different communication systems, as set forth in the present assignee=s co-pending U.S. patent application serial nos. (020726, 020727), incorporated herein by reference. Wireless communication devices are also sometimes referred to as user terminals, mobile stations, mobile units, subscriber units, mobile radios or radiotelephones, wireless units, or simply as �users� and �mobiles� in some communication systems. It is to be understood that the present invention applies equally to other types of wireless devices including without limitation GSM devices, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, OFDM (802.11), etc. [0020] Now referring to FIG. 2, which shows a transmitting system that can be used by either the MS 12 or BTS 16, input bits 20 contain the information representing layered multimedia streams. Each multimedia stream may include a base layer providing a minimum quality of service (QoS) and one or more enhancement layers providing heightened QoS. Layers can also contain respective portions of a compound multimedia program such as video, audio, graphics, text, etc. [0021] The bits 20 are sent to an encoder 22. The encoder 22 can be a Forward Error Correction (FEC) encoder that introduces redundancy in the bits 20 using convolutional coding techniques known in the art. To do this, the preferred encoder 22 may establish, under the control of the BTS processor 18, an error correction rate that essentially generates more redundancy for greater robustness at the cost of requiring increased bandwidth to support the larger number of bits, or that generates less redundancy to conserve bandwidth at the cost of risking more uncorrectable errors at the receivers. Thus, the redundancy introduced by the encoder 22 enables the mobile stations 12 to correct some detection errors without the need to increase transmission power. [0022] The output of the encoder 22 is generally referred to as �code symbols.� Generally, a single message data bit 20 input to the encoder 22 corresponds to one or more code symbols output from the encoder 22. In an alternative approach, the encoder 22 performs a �source encoding� function prior to the redundancy encoding discussed above. Source encoding involves performing data compression for efficient representation of input data bits 20 prior to introducing redundancy and the generation of code symbols. [0023] A modulation interleaver 24 receives code symbols from the encoder 22 and �interleaves� the code symbols prior to processing by a modulator 26. In the exemplary system shown, the interleaver 24 may be a block interleaver or a convolutional interleaver. [0024] The interleaved code symbols are passed on to the modulator 26. In wireless digital communications, a number of different, but related, modulation schemes can be used in the modulator 26. For example, Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) (including OQPSK and n/4QPSK), and Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), are digital modulation techniques which can be used in the modulator 26 to modulate the code symbols generated by the modulation interleaver 24. However, the modulator 26 is not limited to any specific type of modulator and can be any of the many digital modulators used in wireless communications. The invention can also be applied to wired systems. [0025] If desired, the channel interleaved symbols from the interleaver 28 may be passed on to a symbol puncture element 30, which can insert control information, such as power control information, in the data for proper handling of the communications between the transmitter and the receiver. The control symbols punctured into the message symbols can be time division multiplexed into the message symbols as disclosed in the assignee=s co-pending U.S. patent application serial no (030237), incorporated herein by reference. [0026] If further desired, the symbol stream output by the symbol puncture element 30 can be sent to a demultiplexer (DEMUX) 32, which can be used for demultiplexing the input symbol stream into a number of parallel output symbol streams. In the exemplary BTS 16 shown in FIG. 2, the DEMUX 32 may be a one-to-sixteen demultiplexer. [0027] From the DEMUX 32, particularly for BTS applications, the streams are sent to a Walsh function modulator 34 (that can include a Walsh function matrix of, e.g., order 16). In other embodiments, a Walsh function matrix of other orders such as 64 or 128 may be used. It is noted that, in the exemplary system 10, the parallel outputs of the DEMUX 32 can correspond to a single user or multimedia layer or program, or plural different users/streams/layers. In any case, Walsh modulation is performed on each of the parallel input symbols coming from the DEMUX 32, which is used to transform each input symbol into a respective sequence of output signals where each sequence of output signals is orthogonal with every other sequence of output signals. [0028] As shown in FIG. 2, a Pseudorandom Noise (PN) spreader 36 may be provided to �spread� the signal in accordance with principles known in the art. The general principles of CDMA communication systems, and in particular the general principles for generation of spread spectrum signals for transmission over a communication channel is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,901,307 entitled �Spread Spectrum Multiple Access Communication System Using Satellite or Terrestrial Repeaters� and assigned to the assignee of the present invention. The disclosure in that patent, i.e. U.S. Pat. No. 4,901,307, is hereby fully incorporated by reference into the present application. Moreover, U.S. Pat. No. 5,103,459 entitled �System and Method for Generating Signal Waveforms in a CDMA Cellular Telephone System� and assigned to the assignee of the present invention, discloses principles related to PN spreading, Walsh covering, and techniques to generate CDMA spread spectrum communication signals. The disclosure in that patent, i.e. U.S. Pat. No. 5,103,459, is also hereby fully incorporated by reference into the present application. Further, the present invention utilizes time multiplexing of data and various principles related to �high data rate� communication systems, and the present invention can be used in a �high data rate� communication systems, disclosed in U.S. patent application entitled �Method and Apparatus for High Rate Packet Data Transmission� Ser. No. 08/963,386 filed on Nov. 3, 1997, and assigned to the assignee of the present invention. The disclosure in that patent application is also hereby fully incorporated by reference into the present application. [0029] From the PN spreader 36 the signal may be sent to a finite impulse response (FIR) filter 38, which may be a FIR filter used for pulse shaping signals prior to their transmission over a communication channel. The output of the transmit FIR filter 38 is sent through an antenna 40 across the communication channel to the receiver(s). The communication channel usually refers to the physical medium which is used to send the signals from the transmitter to the receiver. [0030] Now referring to FIG. 3, an exemplary non-limiting implementation of the present logic is shown, it being understood that the logic could be depicted in other ways. In essence, the logic is executed by one or both of the processors 14, 18 to select which layers of multimedia streams to transmit or receive based on channel conditions, and/or mobile station location, and/or the forward error correction (FEC) used for a particular layer, and/or mobile station limitations, user preferences, user priority, content priority, and billing plans. Also, in multicasting applications, the determination can be based on location and number of users in the multicast group. The time that a mobile station 12 receiver is on during transmission and reception of multimedia signals can thus be minimized to reduce power consumption and control bandwidth consumption in the cellular system in accordance with assignee=s co-pending U.S. patent applications serial nos. 020293 and 030072, incorporated herein by reference. The BTS 16 can employ different FEC rates and/or different power levels for the various layers upon request from the mobile stations, depending on available bandwidth and current channel usage and priorities, in accordance with assignee=s co-pending U.S. patent applications serial nos. 020590 and 020591, incorporated herein by reference. [0031] With the above general description of the logic in mind, commencing at block 42 of FIG. 3, multimedia layers are transmitted by the BTS 16 along with information identifying where in the stream groups of packets of each layer has been inserted. Also, if desired each layer can be transmitted with its own respective FEC rate and/or power level, and these rates can also be identified in the transmitted stream. [0032] Also, a MS may signal the BTS to inform it which layers the MS can use and/or which layers are to be transmitted. If the connection is a point-to-point connection, the BTS can transmit only the requested layers at the requested FEC rates (e.g., audio only or text only at very low FEC rates). If the MS is part of a multicast group, the BTS can use the data from all the MS to decide which layers at which FEC rates to transmit, e.g., base layers only. [0033] Using the temporal position information relating to when portions of each layer appear in the stream, at block 44 the MS 12 can energize its radio only so long as necessary to receive usable data. For example, an MS 12 might find that an enhancement layer contains too many errors to be usable, and thus would energize its radio only during periods when base layer portions are transmitted. The MS also saves power by not demodulating, or not channel decoding, or not source decoding the unneeded/unwanted layers. Or, an MS 12 might determine that a layer has a FEC rate and/or power level that is insufficient for the purposes of the MS 12 application, or that is such that undue decoding would be required to use the layer. In any case, the MS 12 samples only the portions of the stream that can be easily decoded and reconstructed by seeking the portions of the streams with sufficient FEC rates to guarantee a reliable stream of data. [0034] Moving to block 46, feedback may also be sent from the BTS 16 to the MS 12 over an access channel, a paging channel, an overhead channel, or other channel. The feedback represents one or more actual operational parameters associated with the multimedia data, such as channel conditions as might be indicated by, e.g., interference, actual data error rates being experienced, multipath interference, power levels, etc. The feedback can also indicate actual or desired FEC rate and/or power in the received data, as well as information relating to the position of the mobile station 12. [0035] Based on this feedback, the MS 12 can ascertain which multimedia layers to transmit back to the BTS 12, and/or the most appropriate FEC rate and/or power for each layer, at block 48. More specifically, the MS 12 can reduce the amount of time needed to transmit multimedia by only transmitting the layers that employ sufficient FEC rates/power levels to be received, demodulated, and decoded by the BTS 16, saving bandwidth as well. Accordingly, the MS 12 may selectively transmit back to the BTS 16 only a subset of the layers that may be available for transmission. [0036] Moving to block 50, the BTS 16 may use the FEC rate information from the data received from the MS 12 to vary or otherwise dynamically establish the FEC rates and/or power levels for the layers it is transmitting. As understood herein this further reduces MS power consumption and bandwidth consumption. The logic may periodically loop back to block 42. [0037] As mentioned above, instead of establishing FEC rate layer by layer, the principles advanced herein can be used to establish a power for each layer that is transmitted. This invention results in power savings on the mobile device, reduced over-the-air (OTA) RF radio power consumption, reduced OTA receiver demodulator power, OTS receiver decode power, and multimedia application decode savings. In addition, the invention provides increased control over bandwidth allocation to users and multicast groups as well as overall savings of system bandwidth and/or system spectrum. [0038] While the particular MOBILE STATION-CENTRIC METHOD FOR MANAGING BANDWIDTH AND QoS IN ERROR-PRONE SYSTEM as herein shown and described in detail is fully capable of attaining the above-described objects of the invention, it is to be understood that it is the presently preferred embodiment of the present invention and is thus representative of the subject matter which is broadly contemplated by the present invention, that the scope of the present invention fully encompasses other embodiments which may become obvious to those skilled in the art, and that the scope of the present invention is accordingly to be limited by nothing other than the appended claims, in which reference to an element in the singular is not intended to mean �one and only one� unless explicitly so stated, but rather �one or more�. All structural and functional equivalents to the elements of the above-described preferred embodiment that are known or later come to be known to those of ordinary skill in the art are expressly incorporated herein by reference and are intended to be encompassed by the present claims. Moreover, it is not necessary for a device or method to address each and every problem sought to be solved by the present invention, for it to be encompassed by the present claims. Furthermore, no element, component, or method step in the present disclosure is intended to be dedicated to the public regardless of whether the element, component, or method step is explicitly recited in the claims. No claim element herein is to be construed under the provisions of 35 U.S.C. Section 112, sixth paragraph, unless the element is expressly recited using the phrase �means for� or, in the case of a method claim, the element is recited as a �step� instead of an �act�.

Of course, Penny herself has penned all the writings so she has to hire an actor to portray Flinch in public. The readers of the Penny Dreadful would never believe a 13-year-old girl could write such amazing stories of horror and mystery. Penny is determined to solve the mystery of the Bedlam Midnight Papers. Her investigation leads her to Lady Cambridge, the Spider Lady of Kensington. Turns out Lady Cambridge is using spider venom on the Bedlam patients so they can see the future and she can control the future. Her schemes don't stop there however, she wants to bring all of London into madness. Penny must do some incredible things in order to stop her.
I thought the majority of this book was wonderful. I loved the mystery of the Midnight Papers and how the writers could see into the future. I thought Penny was really smart and resourceful and determined. I was entertained by Monty, the actor hired to be Montgomery Flinch. I also thought Lady Cambridge was an interesting villain. Then I got to the last section of the book and I thought it all went a bit loopy. I like mysteries that are atleast a little bit believable. I can buy a mysterious spider whose venom allows the victim to have visions. That wasn't bad. It was when another spider's venom was ingested by the legendary writers of the day (Doyle, Wells, Haggard, Kipling, etc.) and they were able to infect everyone with the madness who read their words. That is when Edge lost me. I wish the ending could have been stronger as this book started out so well. Not sure it will bother kids as much as it bothered me, but it was still disappointing.
