CAPRICORN [Dec. 22Jan. 19] Thomas Paine was a zealous insurrectionary. He wrote incendiary pamphlets that helped ignite and sustain America's struggle for independence from Great Britain. Early in his life, however, he worked making women's girdles, which are among the most constrictive and oppressive garments in the history of the world. Do you think there was a connection between his two gigs? Like maybe his later struggle for liberation was an unconscious atonement for his youthful labors? That's my hypothesis. In the coming week, Capricorn, I suggest you instigate a Thomas Painelike boomerang. Think of something you did in the past that constricted your spirit or squeezed other people's possibilities. Use that memory as a launching pad as you unleash a brilliant stroke in the name of abundance and expansiveness. Halloween costume suggestion: freedom fighter.
AQUARIUS [Jan. 20Feb. 18] Lightning strikes somewhere on the earth 6,000 times every minute. A single bolt may carry a million volts and reach a temperature of 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit. If this elemental force could be tamed and utilized, it would provide enough energy to raise a cruise ship six feet in the air. While you won't be able to literally harness a lightning bolt in the coming week, Aquarius, you could accomplish the metaphorical equivalent. At least temporarily, you have an uncanny talent for mobilizing tremendous power that's normally too hot to handle. Halloween costume suggestion: a relaxed, smiling lightning bolt.
PISCES [Feb. 19March 20] "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness," wrote Mark Twain. I'd add that it also tends to dissolve dogmas, break bad habits, and flush away sterile theories that haven't been tested by actual experience. These are all blessings I wish for you right now, Pisces. I hope that as you wander free of your familiar haunts, you'll have your mind completely blown, get shocked out of your limiting beliefs about yourself, and be so electrified by the world's beauty that you pretty much fall in love with everything and everyone. Halloween costume suggestion: a tourist, nomad, Sherpa guide, shaman, Ferdinand Magellan, Sacagawea, Amelia Earhart.
Homework Scare yourself with your own exquisite beauty. Freak yourself out by realizing how amazing you are. Testify at freewillastrology.com.

This post provides an exciting opportunity for someone with an interest in respiratory disease, vaccine evaluation and vaccine development to be part of an on-going programme of work using next generation sequencing protocols. Applications are invited from those with relevant experience of planning, developing and carrying out analyses of microbial genome sequences (including data handling, annotation and comparative genomic analyses).

Research Fellow in Health Economics
Warwick Medical School, Division of Health Sciences, wishes to appoint an ambitious health economist interested in contributing to a new programme of research on infectious disease dynamic modelling. The programme aims to generate new evidence on the cost-effectiveness of interventions targeted at infectious diseases in England. The precise infections and interventions considered will by driven by Department of Health policy makers, but will include assessments of the HPV (human papillomavirus) and PCV (pneumococcal conjugate) vaccines during the early part of the appointment. You will have day-to-day responsibility for the development of transmission models of infectious diseases aimed at estimating the cost-effectiveness of relevant interventions. You will work closely with mathematical modellers and other researchers at the University of Warwick, particularly colleagues at the Warwick Infectious Disease Epidemiology Research Centre, with considerable expertise in this area. You will contribute to the parameterisation of the models through critical reviews of relevant literature and analysis of appropriate datasets, identify knowledge gaps and contribute to primary research aimed at addressing those gaps. Timely and effective communication with other members of the research team and with policy makers will be crucial.

Modern Look
Bdwybaby from Atlanta, GA – Verified Buyer
This lighting fixture fit the modern feel I was going for in my bathroom reno. The metal is not as shiny as it appears in this photo. The illumination of this light is on the blue side giving it a more fluorescent light feel, rather than a warmer tone.
Sleek lighting

Just the light we needed to complete the modern update to a client's bathroom durable finish, easy assemble

It's not easy to tell from the picture but the metal hardware & finish is very nice on this light, especially the square canopy behind the light, which makes the fixture look classy & expensive.
Great looking!
c culos from west hartford, CT – Verified Buyer
What is surprising that in spite of 2 halogen bulbs the lighting is not very bright. Have one on each side of the mirror and the lightingis just about adequate.
Loved it, ordering two more

I believe that French is the IOC's first language CIG, that is a throwback to the early Olympic movement when French was still the world's diplomatic language.

Well I'm not a Londoner, I'm a provincial market towner, and am surprised that I watched the entire athletes parade (I never knew so many countries began with a B), it felt like I was welcoming them personally which is something I've never felt before when seeing any of it from other countries.

"Some people seem to take a delight in pretending that they have no pride in what their country can do when we put our minds to it. I have no time for that attitude - they're the people who let others do all the work, while they sit back and grumble."
It'll come as no surprise to most that I didn't watch the ceremony, but I am glad for the many millions who got enjoyment from it, but I'm damned if I'll accept that sort of label just because my preferences differ from the majority.
This is typical of the arrogance surrounding the whole proceedings - "Like it or be labelled some sort of social misfit."

"I'm damned if I'll accept that sort of label just because my preferences differ from the majority."
Who asked you to?
You're labelling yourself, nobody said you were one of those people, just because you don't want to watch. I referred to people who moan about a waste of money, and constantly find something to complain about. I certainly made no mention of people who simply preferred not to watch the opening ceremony, or who don't like sport.
Don't go looking for offence when it isn't there.

"I know a bit about our History but for the majority of the world wide ordiance would have found it a little confusing if not eccentric."
The world-wide audience had their own commentators, each of whom was provided with comprehensive briefing notes about what was going on, so they could explain to their viewers. It's always the same with these events - lots of people wouldn't have understood some of the Chinese ceremony without explanations.
As for eccentricity, well, we're known for it. I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of. The China Daily newspaper said "Britain's Queen Elizabeth declared the London Olympics open after playing a cameo role in a dizzying ceremony designed to highlight the grandeur and eccentricities of the nation that invented modern sport,"

London Olympic silver medallist shooter Vijay Kumar has urged authorities to consider him for upcoming Asian Games despite his poor scores in the recent CommonWealth Games.
The shooter has urged the National Rifle Federation of India (NRAI) to ignore his poor scores in Glasgow CWG and consider him for participation in his favourite 25-metre rapid fire pistol in the Asian Games in Incheon, Korea, next month.
dna has learnt that Kumar recently wrote to NRAI that he failed to give his best in Glasgow recently because of the cervical problem and, hence, his scores should not be taken into account while selecting the team for Asiad. However NRAI, it seems, is not ready to accept his explanation.
"If he would have informed NRAI before the Glasgow event that he is suffering from a cervical problem then there could have been some concession on his request. But given the situation, it would be very difficult for us to include him in the Asian Games squad in his pet event," said a senior NRAI official on Wednesday.
This means that in Incheon, Kumar will be part of the centre fire pistol team alongside Pemba Tamang and Gurpreet Singh. Kumar had failed to qualify for the finals of rapid fire pistol in Glasgow after finishing seventh in the qualifying round.
However, Kumar has not given up hope and has again urged NRAI to reconsider his 'genuine demand'.
Kumar has written in his letter that he was feeling pain in his neck while going through the rigorous training sessions before the CWG. It deteriorated into a severe cervical problem. He has added that he has still not recovered from this problem and is undergoing treatment.
Kumar, who turned 29 on Tuesday (August 19), has been battling with a recurring problem. He had sustained a shoulder injury a couple of months prior to the multi-sport extravaganza in London two years ago. For him, the routine now goes like competition, rehabilitation followed by competition again.
"I have a muscle break on my neck and that is causing some problems," Kumar told dna on his arrival from Glasgow a few days back.
However, he is keen to win a medal for his country and that can only be possible if he takes part in his favourite event, 25-metre rapid fire pistol.

This is a divisional application of application Ser. No. 08/800,734, filed Feb. 13, 1997, now allowed, entitled "Subchannel Control Loop now U.S. Pat. No. 5,991,284.
I. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to communications systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to a novel and improved method for independent closed loop power control of subchannels in a spread spectrum communication system.
II. Description of the Related Art
In a code division multiple access (CDMA) spread spectrum communication system, a common frequency band is used for communication with all base stations within that system. An example of such a system is described in the TIA/EIA Interim Standard IS-95-A entitled "Mobile Station-Base Station Compatibility Standard for Dual-Mode Wideband Spread Spectrum Cellular System", incorporated herein by reference. The generation and receipt of CDMA signals is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,401,307 entitled "SPREAD SPECTRUM MULTIPLE ACCESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS USING SATELLITE OR TERRESTRIAL REPEATERS" and in U.S. Pat. No. 5,103,459 entitled "SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING WAVEFORMS IN A CDMA CELLULAR TELEPHONE SYSTEM" both of which are assigned to the assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein by reference.
Signals occupying the common frequency band are discriminated at the receiving station through the spread spectrum CDMA waveform properties based on the use of a high rate pseudonoise (PN) code. A PN code is used to modulate signals transmitted from the base stations and the remote stations. Signals from different base stations can be separately received at the receiving station by discrimination of the unique time offset that is introduced in the PN codes assigned to each base station. The high rate PN modulation also allows the receiving station to receive a signal from a single transmission station where the signal has traveled over distinct propagation paths. Demodulation of multiple signals is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,490,165 entitled "DEMODULATION ELEMENT ASSIGNMENT IN A SYSTEM CAPABLE OF RECEIVING MULTIPLE SIGNALS" and in U.S. Pat. No. 5,109,390 entitled "DIVERSITY RECEIVER IN A CDMA CELLULAR TELEPHONE SYSTEM", both of which are assigned to the assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein by reference.
The IS-95 Over-the-Air (OTA) Interface Standard defines a set of RF signal modulation procedures for implementing a digital cellular telephone system. The IS-95 standard, and its derivatives, such as IS-95A and ANSI J-STD-008 (referred to collectively as the IS-95 standard), are promulgated by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) to insure the operability between telecommunications equipment manufactured by different vendors.
The IS-95 standard has received enthusiastic reception because it uses the available RF bandwidth more efficiently than previously existing cellular telephone technologies. This increased efficiency is provided by using CDMA signal processing techniques in combination with extensive transmit power control to increase the frequency reuse of a cellular telephone system.
FIG. 1 illustrates a digital cellular telephone system configured in a manner consistent with the use of IS-95. During operation, telephone calls and other communications are conducted by exchanging data between remote stations 1 (generally cellular telephones) and base stations 2 using RF signals. Communications are further conducted from base stations 2 through base station controllers (BSC) 4 and mobile switching center (MSC) 6 to either public switch telephone network (PSTN) 8, or to another base station for transmission to another remote station 1. BSCs 4 and MSC 6 typically provide mobility control, call processing, and call routing functionality.
The RF signal transmitted from a base station 2 to a set of remote stations 1 is referred to as the forward link, and the RF signal transmitted from remote stations 1 to a base station 2 is referred to as the reverse link. The IS-95 standard calls for remote stations 1 to provide telecommunications service by transmitting user data such as digitized voice data via the reverse link signal. The reverse link signal is comprised of a single traffic channel, and therefore is often referred to as a "non-coherent" signal because it does not include a pilot channel, and as such cannot be coherently demodulated.
Within the reverse link signal, user data is transmitted at a maximum data rate of 8.6 or 13.35 kbps, depending on which rate set from a set of rate sets provided by IS-95 is selected. The use of a single channel, non-coherent, reverse link signal simplifies the implementation of an IS-95 cellular telephone system by eliminating the need for synchronization between a set of remote stations 1 communicating with a single base station 2.
As mentioned above, IS-95 incorporates extensive transmit power control in order to more efficiently utilize the available RF bandwidth. In accordance with IS-95, this power control is performed by measuring the received signal strength and quality of the reverse link traffic channel when received at the base station and generating a power control command based on that measurement. The power control command is transmitted to the remote station via the forward link signal. The remote station responds to the power control command by increasing or decreasing the transmit power of the reverse link signal based on the power control command. This power control method is referred to as closed loop power control. The design of closed loop power control in a CDMA communication system is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,056,109, entitled "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING TRANSMISSION POWER IN A CDMA CELLULAR MOBILE TELEPHONE SYSTEM", which is assigned to the assignee of the present invention and incorporated by reference herein.
In IS-95 systems, the power control adjustment is performed repeatedly at rates on the order of 800 times per second in order to maintain the reverse link signal transmit power at the minimum necessary to conduct communications. Additionally, IS-95 also calls for transmit duty cycle of the reverse link signal to be adjusted in response to changes in voice activity by varying the transmit duty cycle in 20 millisecond increments. Thus, when the transmit duty cycle is lowered, the remote station transmits at either the set point, or the transmission is gated and the remote station does not transmit at all. During periods when the transmission is gated, the base station generates false power control increase commands because the reverse link signal is not detected. Since the remote station knows when its transmissions were gated, it can ignore corresponding increase commands since they are known to be false.
To satisfy the ever increasing demand to transmit digital data created by networking technologies, such as the worldwide web, a more complex higher rate multi-channel coherent reverse link signal is provided in co-pending U.S. Pat. No. 5,930,230 (the '230 Patent) entitled "High Data Rate CDMA Wireless Communications System" issued Jul. 27, 1999, assigned to the assignee of the present invention and incorporated herein by reference. The above referenced patent describes a system wherein a set of individually gain adjusted channels are formed via the use of a set of orthogonal subchannel codes. Data to be transmitted via one of the transmit channels is modulated with one of the subchannel codes, gain adjusted, and summed with data modulated using the other subchannel codes. The resulting summed data is modulated using a user long code and a pseudorandom spreading code (PN code) and upconverted for transmission. In particular, the above referenced patent describes a reverse link signal made up of Walsh sequence modulated subchannels including at least one traffic subchannel, a power control subchannel, and a pilot subchannel.
A multi-channel reverse link increases flexibility by allowing different types of data to be transmitted simultaneously. Providing a pilot subchannel facilitates coherent processing of the reverse link signal at the base station which improves the performance of the link. To facilitate power control, time tracking and frequency tracking, it may be desirable to keep the average received pilot signal power to noise ratio (SNR) at a constant level. Note that in a CDMA based system, effective power control is essential to achieving a high system capacity. Usually, power control is divided into two parts, an open loop and a closed loop. In open loop power control, the mobile station measures the received forward link signal for a predetermined time period and adjusts its transmit power in response to changes in the received forward link power. The open loop power control as implemented in IS-95 systems is fairly slow and takes care of the long term channel variations (known as the corner effect). The closed loop power control as described previously is faster and tries to compensate for the effects of fading.
In IS-95 based CDMA systems, the closed loop power control is also used to drive the reverse link to a desired setpoint. For example, a frame error rate (FER) of 1% may be desired. If the FER is too low, an increase in reverse link power is necessary to reduce the error rate. On the other hand, if the FER is lower than the desired setpoint, the reverse link power can be reduced. Reducing the reverse link power reduces interference generated and thus has a direct positive effect on the other users in the system. Maximum capacity is reached in a CDMA system when every user is transmitting at the setpoint and therefore the minimum power required to achieve the desired error rate.
The operating setpoint of the system can be modified by changing the power control decision threshold at the base station. As a consequence, the total average received power of the reverse link will converge to a new value. This power control mechanism affects the total transmitted power. However, if this technique is applied to a system employing a plurality of subchannels as provided for in the '230 Patent, the relative strengths of each subchannel are not changed as the total transmit power is modified. For example, upon reaching a satisfactory power level in terms of received pilot subchannel power, any subsequent variation of transmit power to modify the received FER for a data subchannel will affect the pilot power, and vice versa. Since it is likely that different types of data which occupy separate subchannels will have different requirements, it is desirable to be able to control the transmitted power of each subchannel independently.
Independently controlling the transmitted power of each subchannel by a subchannel control loop is described. A transmitting station generates a channel made up of a sum of subchannels wherein each subchannel or group of subchannels is amplified with a unique gain value that is varied in accordance with subchannel power control messages from the receiving station. The receiving station generates each subchannel power control message subsequent to monitoring and calculating metrics based on that received subchannel.
The features, objects, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description set forth below when taken in conjunction with the drawings in which like reference characters identify correspondingly throughout and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a cellular telephone system;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a remote station configured in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a base station configured in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the subchannel control loop controls the reverse link. Therefore, the transmitting station will be referred to as the remote station and the receiving station will be referred to as the base station. Remote stations may include wireless local loop stations, portable telephones, data terminals, and the like. It is understood that this invention could also be employed on the forward link alone or on both forward and reverse links simultaneously.
In a channel containing N subchannels, the total transmitted power by a remote station, Ptot, is defined as the sum of the transmitted powers of each subchannel:
In the present invention, a remote station can change the setpoint of a particular subchannel, subchannel i , by changing the corresponding subchannel transmitted power Pi while the operating points of the other subchannels remain unchanged.
Equation (1) can be normalized by an arbitrary power Pref.
In the exemplary embodiment, power control is accomplished by adjusting transmit power Pref. Each subchannel control loop operates by adjusting a specific one or subset of Fi.
FIG. 2 depicts an exemplary remote station. In remote station 100, a plurality of data signals data0-dataN enter encoders 110A-110N. The encoded results are interleaved in interleavers 120A-120N, then modulated by unique Walsh sequences W0-WN in multipliers 130A-130N. The outputs of multipliers 130A-130N are amplified in gain adjust blocks 140A-140N with unique gain values supplied from gain control processor 180. Gain adjust blocks 140A-140N may use digital techniques or may be implemented using variable gain amplifiers. The design of both techniques is known in the art.
In the exemplary embodiment, Walsh sequence 0 (W0) modulates a constant value to form a pilot signal. As such, in the exemplary embodiment the data input to multiplier 130A is fixed and encoder 110A and interleaver 120A are not needed. The gain adjusted signals are combined in summer 150. Summer 150 may be implemented as a digital or analog device. Although summer 150 is likely to be digital if gain adjust blocks 140A-140N are digital, and analog if they are analog, it is not necessary to do so. The signal made up of the sum of the individually gain adjusted data signals is amplified in gain adjust block 160 with a gain value supplied by gain control processor 180. In the exemplary embodiment, gain adjust block 140A is not required, since pilot gain adjustments can be accomplished via gain adjust block 160. Alternatively, gain adjust block 160 can be eliminated if the overall gain is factored into each of the subchannel gains. In either case, no loss of control is suffered since each subchannel gain as well as the overall signal gain can still be independently varied. The resultant signal from gain adjust block 160 is modulated and upconverted in transmitter 170 and then transmitted on antenna 230 through duplexer 220. As with the other gain adjust blocks, gain adjust 160 can be implemented using digital or analog techniques.
Forward link data from the base station, including the power control message information, is downconverted and amplified in receiver 210 via antenna 230 through duplexer 220. The received signal is demodulated in demodulator 200, then deinterleaved and decoded in decoder 190. In the exemplary embodiment, demodulator 200 is a CDMA demodulator as described in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,401,307 and 5,103,459. Subchannel power control messages from the base station are separated from the forward link data decoded by decoder 190 in gain control processor 180.
These messages independently control the gain values in gain adjust blocks 140A-140N and 160. There are a number of ways for the gain values to be adjusted. For example, the subchannel power control message can consist of N bits, wherein each of the N bits directs a corresponding subchannel to increase or decrease its transmitted power. In response to this message, each gain value is increased or decreased by a predetermined amount that can be used for all subchannels or can be unique for each subchannel. Alternatively, the subchannel power control message can contain N binary sequences indicating the gain values or indicating the amount of change to the gain values. The control messages can independently control each gain value or a group of gain values, and can employ a combination of techniques for each.
FIG. 3. depicts an exemplary base station. In base station 300, a signal containing the sum of all transmitted signals from remote stations operating in the system enters through antenna 310 and is downconverted and amplified in receiver 320. PN demodulator 330 extracts the set of signals transmitted by a particular remote station, remote station 100 for example. The PN demodulated signal is directed to a plurality of Walsh demodulators 340A-340N. Each Walsh demodulator demodulates a corresponding subchannel of the signal sent by remote station 100.
In the exemplary embodiment, the subchannels as demodulated by Walsh demodulators 340A-340N can be deinterleaved and decoded in decoders 350A-350N. The data from decoders 350A-350N is delivered to comparator 370. A useful metric for comparator 370 to calculate is that of frame error rate (FER). The frame error rate of each subchannel can be compared to a FER threshold for that subchannel as provided by threshold generator 380. If the frame error rate of a subchannel is lower than necessary for the desired communication quality, the power in that subchannel can be reduced. Conversely, if the frame error rate of a subchannel is too high, that subchannel needs to have its power increased.
In an alternative embodiment, the energy in each subchannel signal is summed in accumulators 360A-360N. The energy results are delivered to comparator 370. Receiver 320 typically contains automatic gain control circuitry (AGC), which normalizes the in-band energy to a predetermined level. Parameters associated with the AGC can be delivered to comparator 370 to assist in normalizing energy values for comparison. Comparator 370 compares the energy received in each subchannel with an energy threshold for that channel as determined by threshold generator 380. The energy thresholds are calculated to ensure a certain quality of service on the respective subchannel. Each subchannel's power can be adjusted based on the comparison. The power can be reduced if the threshold is exceeded and reduced if the threshold is not exceeded. Moreover, the two embodiments can work in conjunction with one another by permitting the energy thresholds to be varied in response to the frame error rate or other signal quality metric.
Many other alternatives are envisioned for comparison in comparator 370. When decoders 350A-350N use the Viterbi algorithm, Viterbi decoder metrics can be provided for comparison. Further examples include comparison of symbol error rate instead of frame error rate and computation of a cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The thresholds can be signaled to threshold generator 380 by base station controller 4 as shown in FIG. 1, or they can be calculated in threshold generator 380 itself.
In the exemplary embodiment, comparator 370 makes a determination based on the received subchannels whether or not to increase or decrease the power level of each of the subchannels. Based on that determination, message generator 390 creates a power control message to be sent to the remote station to modify any subchannels, if necessary. The power control messages can be transmitted as signaling data or punctured into the data stream as described in IS-95, or any other method of signaling capable of relaying the message to the mobile station. As discussed previously, the message can be a simple up or down command per subchannel or as complicated as sending the exact gain values for each. Furthermore, each subchannel can be controlled independently, or alternatively, subchannel power control messages can control groups of subchannels. The power control message is modulated in modulator 400, upconverted and amplified in transmitter 410 and transmitted to remote station 100 via antenna 420. Remote station 100 modifies the gain value associated with each subchannel as described previously, and thus the subchannel control loop is closed.
In an alternative embodiment, the gain values for gain adjust blocks 140A-140N can be calculated in an open loop manner. A predetermined gain calculation algorithm in gain control processor 180 can be used to calculate the individual gain adjust values based on the received energy of the forward link signal. For example, different subchannels are likely to have different coding for error correction and thus the error rates will vary for a given drop in received power due to a fade. Empirical studies can be used to develop the predetermined gain calculation algorithm.
In another alternative embodiment, if both forward and reverse links employ this invention, open loop calculations of received energy of a forward link subchannel can be used to adjust the gain of a corresponding reverse link subchannel, and vice versa. In situations where there is symmetry or partial symmetry with respect to the forward and reverse links, the received energy in a subchannel can be used in calculations for determining the power level of the corresponding transmit subchannel. A combination of open and closed loop techniques can also be employed.
The previous description of the preferred embodiments is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. The various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without the use of the inventive faculty. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.

Deputies say she lefther uncle'snorth Harris Countyhome with33-year-old Jacob West, investigators said.
We were up most of the night hoping to get a phone call, said the girl s uncle. The longer it goes, the more concerned we get.
The uncle saysthe girlmoved into his home on By the Lake Way in Cypresslast week. Her family was trying to keep her away from West, who lives next door to her mother.
We basically told him she was moving in here, we did not want him in the picture, it was inappropriate, said the uncle.
Authorities say West ignored the family s requests and continued to pursue the teen girl. Tuesday afternoon she was taking a walk with family and jumped into his car.
She hopped in the guy s truck and took off, said Nixon. I think he is manipulating her.
The girlhas brown hair and brown eyes, and is 5 feet tall and 120 pounds. She was last seen wearing a tie-dyed shirt and blue jeans.
The suspect was driving a 2005 silver GMC Envoy with Texas License Plate #AT42794.
He is 6-feet 2-inches tall and weighs 220 pounds. He has brown eyes and short brown hair.
The FBI was involved in the search as of Wednesday afternoon. Anyone with information is asked to contact deputies.

Joan Watts purchased this cabin in 2007
What a great place to stay!! Cozy, and private. Just what we were looking for. This cabin has all that you need to have a great time. Very clean and an easy drive to Yellowstone. Would highly recommend
This is a wonderful cabin and we were so thankful to be able to rent from such thoughtful and conscientious owners. They have thought of everything and the communication is fantastic! The cabin is beautifully located and furnished, and very comfortable. This was a very special vacation for our family and one that we had really looked forward to doing for a couple of years. The cabin and the owner's kindness really helped to make our vacation wonderful and we will never forget our time in Montana!
My daughter, her husband, my son and I stayed here for 3 days as a base camp for visiting Yellowstone and the Paradise Valley area. We loved the little cabin so much and really enjoyed hiking on the trails up Mill Creek Road and exploring this area. After a long day at Yellowstone, we stopped at Chico Hot Springs (nearby)for a lovely dinner and a soak and looked forward to arriving back to Mill Creek Retreat where we knew we would find peace and relaxation. The cabin is very well equipped, beautifully decorated, clean and cozy, and has all the comforts one could need.
If you want to experience true Montana hospitality this is the place for you. My fiancé and I stayed at the cabin as we were looking for a permament residence in the area. Owner Joan was great from the time we arrived, she even tried to help us find a place to live. The cabin itself is also wonderful, very well maintained, and nestled in the pines of Paradise Valley. The cabin also offers a number of outside activities and the area has breathtaking mountain views. Would recommend to both family and friends.
Brad & Claire
My husband and son and I spent a week at Mill Creek Lodge and had a blast! We are from the city of Chicago so the peaceful setting of the house and falling to sleep with the sound of Mill Creek in the distance when it is pitch black outside made sleeping wonderful. We enjoyed countless hikes, horseback riding in Yellowstone, hot springs in Chico, coffee shop and gallery visits in Livingston and a day trip to Bozeman with our high school son. Our son is a runner and enjoyed daily 8-10 mile runs on Mill creek road. We had 8 unplugged days without phone or computer. Listened to music, read and grilled out most evenings. Joan was very helpful with suggestions and made us feel right at home. Thanks again! The Fricke/Grbas
We have nothing but great things to say about the "Millcreek Retreat" cabin. This was our second visit to Montana and this cabin was so comfortable, quiet, and accommodating! We loved the garage to pull into and unpack after a day of fishing (which we caught a lot of cut throat) and hiking. Along with the long table in the garage to lay out our hiking and fishing gear. We also loved how well the cabin was stocked with everything we needed... from cooking in the kitchen, the grill, the cooler, and the boot dryer to dry our wading boots! Thanks Joan for allowing us to use your beautiful cabin. We made so many memories that will last us a lifetime! We hope to come back and visit soon!

Excellent idea, my cavies don't seem to care for it
posted 6 years ago
I wouldn't rule these out. You might have a cavy that enjoys these so I would look into trying them for yourself. My guinea pigs just weren't interested, but it could just be their preference. Guinea pigs need to chew so give it a try.
Pros: safe for them to chew
Cons: weren't interested

Did you?
Daffy no likey
posted 7 years ago
My sister's hammie, Daffy just seemed to enjoy burying them as oppose to actually gnawing on them. Maybe if they could somehow be attached to the cage as opposed to loosely hanging around, they might be more tempting.
Pros: Allows for healthy chewing (so the hammie doesn't chew on his water bottle)
Cons: Tends to get buried in the shavings and bedding then soiled.

Labor chief to OFWs: Fulfill work contracts
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz on Friday reminded Filipinos who want to work abroad to be faithful to their employment contracts after a group of recruiters complained that many were reneging on their commitments.
Baldoz said applicants, especially those who want to work as household service workers (HSWs), should honor their commitments so that the government could continue to lobby to improve their lot abroad.
"OFWs must honor their commitments, too, even while they are still applying for an overseas job to bolster the preference for them by employers in countries of destination," Baldoz said in a statement.
The labor chief issued the statement after Victor E.R. Fernandez, Jr., president of the Philippine Association of Service Exporters, Inc., complained of overseas Filipino workers who "abruptly and irresponsibly deserting their applications."
"We have recorded that more OFWs are abruptly and irresponsibly deserting their applications and commitments for employment overseas without informing and communicating their true intentions to withdraw from or to no longer pursue their applications with their recruitment agencies," Fernandez said in a letter to Baldoz.
"In several instances, documentation process had been completed and the HSW advised of her travel itinerary, on the day of scheduled departure, the HSW is a 'no show,'" he added.
Fernandez said they noticed "this negative practice" after the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration strictly implemented the "no-placement-fee" policy in the recruitment of HSWs.
"Currently, most recruitment agencies recruiting and deploying HSWs to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are announcing that HSW applicants are exempt from the payment of pre-application medical examinations and personal documents," Fernandez said.
"In most cases, everything is provided free of cost to the HSWs, including the cost of transportation from the province to Manila, food and accommodation while in Manila, skills training, securing personal documents, such as passport and clearances, pre-employment and complete medical examination, and skills assessment," he said.
However, Fernandez said this development had "spawned a negative practice and attitude" among HSW applicants.
He said the POEA should sanction erring applicants like temporarily disqualifying them from "participation in the overseas employment program."
"Disciplining erring OFWs is certainly within the bounds of fairness and justice in the overseas employment industry," he said.

Infineon Names Mayrhuber New Supervisory Board Chief
Nov. 22 (Bloomberg) --Infineon Technologies AG named a new supervisory board chairman and chief financial officer in a move that may help to end internal quarrels at Europe's second-biggest chip maker and assuage rebel shareholders.
Deutsche Lufthansa AG Chief Executive Officer Wolfgang Mayrhuber will become chairman of Infineon's supervisory board and RWE AG's Head of Controlling Dominik Asam will become CFO, the semiconductor maker said today. Mayrhuber's contract is for four years and must be approved by shareholders. He will succeed Klaus Wucherer, who agreed to step down after a group of shareholders objected to his appointment in February.
"Mayrhuber was a very well-respected CEO at Lufthansa and he will help overcome the corporate governance issues Infineon has had in the past," Thomas Becker, a Commerzbank AG analyst, said in an interview today. He said the decision on the new chairman comes earlier than expected and that the news is "neutral to slightly positive."
Some shareholders at Infineon's annual general meeting in February objected to CEO Peter Bauer's proposal to make Wucherer chairman. They submitted their own candidate because they said they wanted a fresh start after 10 previous quarters of losses. Asam, the new CFO, replaces Marco Schroeter, who quit in August over differences about future company policy.
Infineon shares dropped 0.6 percent to 6.55 euros as of 3:52 a.m. in Frankfurt trading.
In February, a majority of shareholders approved Wucherer, who had served on the board since 1999. He promised to only stay in the position for one year while the company searched for an outside candidate, despite being tapped for a four-year term.
Wucherer said today at a press conference in Munich that Mayrhuber was chosen for his global reputation, his network of international contacts and his technological expertise.
Mayrhuber is scheduled to step down as Deutsche Lufthansa CEO at the end of year.
The new CFO Asam will begin at Infineon on Jan. 1. He was previously responsible for strategy and investor relations at Infineon before becoming CEO of Siemens Financial Services at Siemens AG.
Infineon, based in Neubiberg, Germany, returned to profit in the 12 months through September as demand for cars, mobile phones and other electronic devices recovered following the economic slowdown. The company on Nov. 16 said it will pay its first dividend in a decade and plans a share buyback.

Hi, firstly, I love the theme, was exactly what I was searching for for my brownie company. The only thing I am not keen on is the floting navigation bar. I've read the other posts where you've said it is not possible easily.
I did a bit of poking around in the code and assuming I didn't want the tagline would I be able to change <?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?> in the header.php file to be hyperlinked text, thus forming a simple navigational bar just under the site title?
Sorry if the post isn't very clear
