D" filed May 14, 2003, and all of which are assigned to the assignee hereof and hereby expressly incorporated by reference herein.
1. Field
The invention relates generally to the field of telecommunications, and more specifically to mechanisms for detecting and evaluating packets and frame transmissions in a wireless communication system having multiple channels with varying channel qualities.
2. Background
Wireless communication technologies are rapidly advancing, and wireless communication systems are utilized to provide a larger and larger portion of the communications capacity that is currently available to users. This is true despite the additional technological impediments that are faced in implementing a wireless communication system, as compared to a wireline system. For instance, wireless communication systems must deal with issues relating to data transmission between a base station and its mobile stations in order to maximize the performance of the system, whereas a wireline system does not.
One type of wireless communication system comprises a cellular CDMA2000(code division multiple access) system which is configured to support voice and data communications. This system may have multiple base stations which communicate via wireless channels with multiple mobile stations. (The base stations are also typically coupled via wireline networks to various other systems, such as a public switched telephone network.) Each base station communicates with a set of mobile stations that are within a sector corresponding to the base station. This base station is responsible for detecting errors in transmissions from the mobile station in order to properly demodulate and decode the signal from the mobile stations in addition to controlling power in communications between the base station and the mobile stations in order to minimize interference and maximize throughput, as well as enabling the mobile stations to conserve energy and thereby extend the amount of time during which they can be used.
Typically, a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) is utilized to detect errors in transmissions from the mobile stations. Ideally, transmissions are divided into predetermined lengths and divided by a fixed divisor. The remainder number from this division operation is then appended onto the transmission by the mobile station. Upon receiving the transmission, the base station recalculates the remainder and compares it to the received remainder. If the two remainders do not match, the base station has detected an error in the transmission.
This method for error detection, however, may not be feasible for certain types of transmission channels. Burst oriented data transmission channels may have a corresponding rate indicator channel which signals a base station of the transmit format of the burst oriented channel and drives the power control loop. While a CRC may allow error detection in data transmissions, in systems having channels which transmit sporadically and are burst oriented the overhead for utilizing a CRC on their corresponding rate indicator channel may be too high. In most cases, a CRC requires 8to 10 bits to be appended to each data transmission, however, on a rate indicator channel a transmission itself may only consist of a few bits at a time. The transmission of these added CRC bits increases transmission power significantly. This is problematic, however, as the base station still requires high probability identification of good and bad frames on this rate indicator channel in order to detect the transmit format of these enhanced channels and for adjustment of the power control loop.
There is therefore a need in the art for systems and methods which allow identification of packets on a rate indicator channel, and the high probability identification of good and bad frames on the rate indicator channel and the corresponding spontaneous data transmission channel.
Embodiments disclosed herein address the above stated needs by providing systems and methods which allow reliable detection and evaluation of packets and transmission frames with low overhead.
Some wireless communication systems have a burst oriented channel and an accompanying rate indicator channel. Rather than performing error detection based upon a system carrying an unreasonable overhead for CRC, it is desirable to provide low overhead, high probability, identification of bad frames within a channel.
Various embodiments of the present invention attempt to improve the detection of packets and evaluation of frames in systems having a spontaneous, burst oriented data transmission channel and an accompanying rate indicator channel. More specifically, the presence of packets on a rate indicator channel is analyzed, and based upon the presence of packets on this channel, and the type of packets present, the validity of one or more frames may be determined. The presence of data on the corresponding data transmission channel may also be used to confirm this determination.
One embodiment comprises a method for evaluating packets and frames in a wireless communication system having a burst oriented channel and a corresponding rate indicator channel, comprising decoding the rate indicator channel using a maximum likelihood decoder and detecting the presence of a packet on the rate indicator channel based on a likelihood. In one embodiment, the rate indicator channel is decoded at predetermined intervals. After the detection of a packet, the packet is analyzed to determine whether or not it is valid. If the packet is a zero-rate packet and was expected, energy may be detected on the corresponding burst oriented data channel to make a further determination whether the zero-rate packet is valid. If the packet is not a zero-rate packet, in this embodiment the sub-packet identifier and the payload contained in the packet may be analyzed, and if they contradict expectations, the information in the packet may be used to decode the corresponding burst oriented channel to make a further determination as to whether the current packet or the previous packets are invalid. However, if no packet is detected on the rate indicator channel, and no packet was expected, the burst oriented data channel may be analyzed. In this manner a packet may be detected on the rate indicator channel and the validity of transmission frames determined.
An alternative embodiment of the invention comprises a wireless communication system comprising a base station and a mobile station coupled to the base station via a wireless communication link, wherein the base station is configured to receive data from the mobile station on a plurality of reverse-link channels on the wireless communication link including a burst oriented channel, and a corresponding rate indicator channel, and wherein the base station is configured to decode the rate indicator channel using a maximum likelihood decoder and determine the presence of a packet on the rate indicator channel based on a likelihood. In one embodiment, the rate indicator channel is decoded at a predetermined interval. After the detection of a packet, the validity of a frame may be determined. If a packet is detected this packet is analyzed. If the packet is a zero-rate packet and was expected, energy may be detected on the corresponding burst oriented data channel to make a further determination of whether the zero-rate packet is valid. If the packet is not a zero-rate packet, the sub-packet identifier and the payload contained in the frame may be analyzed, and if they contradict expectations the information in the packet may be used to decode the corresponding burst oriented channel. However, if no packet is. detected on the rate indicator channel, and no packet was expected, the burst oriented data channel may be tested for energy. In this manner a packet may be detected on the rate indicator channel and the validity of transmission frames may be determined.
Numerous additional embodiments are also possible.
Various aspects and features of the invention are disclosed by the following detailed description and the references to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
While the invention is subject to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof are shown by way of example in the drawings and the accompanying detailed description. It should be understood, however, that the drawings and detailed description are not intended to limit the invention to the particular embodiments which are described.
One or more embodiments of the invention are described below. It should be noted that these and any other embodiments described below are exemplary and are intended to be illustrative of the invention rather than limiting.
As described herein, various embodiments of the invention comprise systems and methods for providing packet error detection in a rate indicator channel and its corresponding data transmission channel wherein a high probability of error detection is provided with low overhead.
A few terms are defined or clarified to aid in understanding the descriptions that follow. A packet may be understood in the context of this disclosure as a discreet piece of a message or a series of bits. A transmission frame (frame) may be understood as transmissions on one or more channels for a particular segment of time.
In one embodiment, a wireless communication system provides multiple reverse-link channels for communication of data from a mobile station to a base station. These channels include a burst oriented transmission channel (also referred to herein as a traffic channel) and its corresponding rate indicator channel. In order to detect the presence of packets on the rate indicator channel, the channel is monitored and decoded utilizing a maximum likelihood decoder. Based on the likelihood that a particular packet was received and a comparison of this likelihood to a threshold value, a determination can be made as to whether a packet is present. The maximum likelihood decoder is used because in contrast to conventional channels, no CRC information is provided in packets on the rate indicator channel.
Based on this detection of packets on the rate indicator channel, the validity of a transmission frame may be evaluated. Additionally, in many cases, the information on the corresponding burst oriented transmission channel is used to help evaluate the validity of the transmission frames. If a zero-rate packet was detected on the rate indicator channel, yet there is enough energy present on the data transmission channel, a bad transmission frame may be declared. Conversely, if a packet detected on the rate indicator channel indicates the presence of information on the data transmission channel, but the data transmission channel cannot be decoded correctly, a bad transmission frame may also be declared.
Although exemplary embodiments of the systems and methods presented are utilized throughout the present disclosure in the context of a CDMA2000 reverse enhanced supplemental channel (R-ESCH) and its accompanying reverse rate indicator channel (R-RICH), it will be understood by those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present invention may be utilized with other burst oriented communication channels and accompanying rate indicator channels.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is implemented in a wireless communication system that conforms generally to a release of the CDMA2000 specification. CDMA2000 is a 3rd Generation (3G) wireless communication standard that is based on the IS-95 standard. The CDMA2000 standard has evolved and continues to evolve to continually support new services in a standard 1.25 MHz carrier.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is intended to be operable in systems utilizing Release D of the CDMA2000 standard, but other embodiments may be implemented in other Releases of CDMA2000 or in systems that conform to other standards (e.g., W-CDMA). The embodiments described herein should therefore be considered exemplary, rather than limiting.

It should be noted that, for the purposes of this disclosure, identical items in the figures may be indicated by identical reference numerals followed by a lowercase letter, e.g., 120 a, 120 b, and so on. The items may be collectively referred to herein simply by the reference numeral.
Base station 110 is also coupled to a switching station 130 via a wireline link. The link to switching station 130 allows base station 110 to communicate with various other system components, such as a data server 140, a public switched telephone network 150, or the Internet 160. It should be noted that the mobile stations and system components in this figure are exemplary and other systems may comprise other types and other combinations of devices.
While, in practice, the specific designs of base station 110 and mobile stations 120 may vary significantly, each serves as a wireless transceiver for communicating over the forward and reverse links. Base station 110 and mobile stations 120 therefore have the same general structure. This structure is illustrated in
Referring to
Persons of skill in the art of the invention will appreciate that the structure depicted in
Considering the structure of
As indicated above, the communication link between the base station and the mobile station actually comprises various channels. Referring to
Mobile station 120 transmits data to base station 110 via a set of reverse link channels 320. Again, these channels typically include both traffic channels and control channels. Mobile station 120 may transmit data back to the base station over such channels as a reverse access channel (R-ACH), an extended reverse access channel (R-EACH), a reverse request channel (R-REQCH), a reverse enhanced supplemental channel (R-ESCH), a reverse dedicated control channel (R-DCCH), a reverse common control channel (R-CCCH), or a reverse rate indicator channel (R-RICH).
In many instances, reverse link capacity is interference limited. Base stations allocate available reverse link communication resources to mobile stations for efficient utilization to maximize throughput in accordance with Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for the various mobile stations.
Maximizing the use of the reverse link communication resources involves several factors. One factor to consider is the mix of scheduled reverse link transmissions from the different mobile stations, each of which may be experiencing varying channel quality at any given time. To increase overall throughput (the aggregate data transmitted by all the mobile stations in the cell), it is desirable for the entire reverse link to be fully utilized whenever there is reverse link data to be sent. To fill the available capacity, some mobile stations may be granted access at the highest rate they can support. Additional mobile stations may be granted access until capacity is reached. In deciding which mobile stations to schedule, the base station may therefore consider the maximum rate each mobile station can support, the efficiency of the transmission from the mobile station, and the amount of data each mobile station has to transmit. A mobile station capable of higher throughput (considering both the data rate supportable by the mobile station and the amount of data the mobile station has to transmit) may be selected instead of an alternate mobile station that cannot currently support the higher throughput.
Another factor to be considered is the quality of service required by each mobile station. It may be permissible to delay access to a particular mobile station in hopes that the mobile station's channel (or more specifically its supportable throughput) will improve, instead selecting mobile station that can support higher throughput. It may be the case, however, that a sub-optimal mobile station may need to be granted access in order to allow the mobile station to meet minimum quality of service guarantees. Therefore, the data throughput that is actually scheduled may not be the absolute maximum, but may instead be optimized in light of channel conditions, available mobile station transmit power, quality of service requirements, and similar factors.
Various scheduling mechanisms may be used to allow a mobile station to transmit data on the reverse link. One class of reverse link transmissions involves a sporadic, burst oriented data transmission channel such as an R-ESCH, and the channel's accompanying rate indicator channel (R-RICH). When the R-ESCH is transmitting data, the R-RICH carries a corresponding non-zero rate packet. This non-zero rate packet on the R-RICH signals the base station as to the transmit format on the corresponding R-ESCH, provides a sub-packet identifier and a payload size, drives the power control loop when necessary and may provide additional pilot energy for demodulation and decoding of the R-ESCH.
Conversely, when the R-ESCH is not transmitting, the R-RICH transmits a zero-rate packet periodically, usually at a fixed frame boundary such as the boundary of 80 ms frames. The rate indicator packet may have a length that is less than the frame length (e.g. 10 ms) so that the duty cycle of the R-RICH may be less than 100% when only zero-rate packets are being transmitted.
A mobile station may move within the area serviced by a base station, changing the power requirements for a data transmission on the R-ESCH. This zero-rate packet is used to provide some information to drive the power control loop and ensure accurate and efficient transmissions. If the power control loop is not maintained, transmissions on the R-ESCH may be erased because of inadequate power, or the mobile station may utilize more power than necessary in transmission, decreasing its energy efficiency.
Because of the non-continuous nature of transmissions on the R-ESCH and R-RICH, the base station must make a determination when a packet is present on the R-RICH, and if the transmission frames of the R-RICH and its corresponding R-ESCH are valid. Conventionally, there was no need for an R-RICH, as transmission on data channels was more or less continuous and the transmission format of the data channels was known to the base station. In other words, detection and decoding of data frames and control of the power loop could be preformed based essentially on the data transmission channel itself. In the present system, the mobile station can decide whether to transmit on the R-ESCH and at what rate, as long as the data rate on the R-ESCH is not higher than the authorized rate from the base station. Both a data transmission channel (R-ESCH) and a control channel (R-RICH) are involved because of the above nature of the R-ESCH, and consequently, since transmission on the corresponding R-RICH is not continuous and the transmission format of the data channel is unknown to the base station, there is a need to detect the presence of packets on the R-RICH and the validity of associated transmission frames.
A flow diagram depicting an overview of methods employed by embodiments of the present invention for determining the validity of a transmission frame is depicted in
Turning now to
Referring again to
If base station detects the presence of a packet (block 404) and it is not a zero-rate packet (block 406) it may analyze the contents of the detected packet (block 410). This analysis (block 410) may be based on the pre-determined timing for synchronous incremental redundancy (SIR), and a pre-defined order of sub-packet identifiers (ID) in transmissions on the R-RICH. In many embodiments, packets on the R-RICH contain a sub-packet ID and a payload. When a packet on the R-ESCH is initially transmitted from mobile station 120 to base station the packet on the R-RICH contains a sub-packet ID of 0, if the base station receives the frame an acknowledgement (ACK) is transmitted to the mobile station 120. If mobile station 120 receives the ACK it will transmit a new packet on the R-ESCH with a sub-packet ID of 0. If, however, the mobile station does not receive the ACK it may retransmit the original packet and increment the sub-packet ID. This cycle continues until mobile station 120 receives an ACK from base station. Base station may analyze these sub-packet IDs (block 410) to determine the validity of the detected packet. If the sub-packet ID does not contradict what base station expects, a good frame may be declared (block 412). When the sub-packet ID does contradict what base station expects a bad packet may be declared. This may happen, for example, if base station previously sent an ACK to mobile station 120. Base station may expect the next sub-packet ID to be 0, if it receives a packet with a sub-packet ID other than 0 a bad frame can be declared. For a mobile station in soft handoff, where the mobile station communicates with multiple base stations, even when a base station did not previously send an ACK to the mobile station but receives a new packet with sub-packet ID equal to 0, the base station considers that the new packet does not contradict it's the base station's expectation, as the previous packet may be ACKed by other base stations.
In a similar manner, if base station detects the presence of a packet (block 404) and it is not a zero-rate packet (block 406) it may analyze the payload of the detected packet (block 410). For example, base station may be expecting two R-RICH packets corresponding to the same encoder packet on the R-ESCH to have the same payload. If these expectations are met (block 410) a good frame may be declared, however, if the payload of these packets contradicts base station's expectations a bad frame may be declared. A good frame may be declared if both the sub-packet ID and the payload size match the expectations of the base station.
In many embodiments, when the sub-packet ID or payload is not what base station expects (block 410) the information present on the R-ESCH is used to further evaluate the validity of the current R-RICH frame. If a non zero-rate packet is detected on the R-RICH (block 404) with a proper sub-packet ID and payload (block 410), the information (payload size and sub-packet ID) in this packet can be used to decode the corresponding information present on the R-ESCH (block 414). If the R-ESCH decodes incorrectly (block 416) this indicates that the information on the R-RICH and the corresponding R-ESCH may not be consistent and a bad frame may be declared (block 420). If, however, the R-ESCH is correctly decoded based on the information contained in the corresponding R-RICH packet (block 416) a good frame may be declared (block 418). Additionally in this case, one or more of the previous packets on the R-RICH may be declared bad based on the contradiction between the current good frame and the incorrect expectations derived from information contained in one or more of the previous packets of the R-RICH (block 418).
Returning to the top of
In many embodiments, if a packet was not detected (block 404) on the R-RICH and no zero-rate packet was expected (block 430), the corresponding R-ESCH may be used to help assess the validity of the frame. If the energy is strong enough on the R-ESCH (block 434), contravening the indications of the R-RICH, a bad frame may be declared (block 436). If, however, the energy level (block 434) and the R-RICH channel are congruous a good frame may be declared (block 438).

School bully gets taste of own medicine... from a teacher
|Photo by Eddie~S
Now the teacher faces fifth-degree assault and disorderly conduct charges and can't substitute teach. There are just so many teachable moments here we don't know where to start.
The incident happened in April at Long Prairie-Grey Eagle Middle School. According to accounts from other students who witnessed it, Chandler Langford was making fun of another student's weight while they were playing kickball in a vacant lot near the school. When the substitute teacher, 64-year-old Bruce Young, told him to stop, he didn't.
Young then allegedly assaulted the student to make him quit.
"He grabbed him around the neck and lifted him up off onto his tip toes like he was almost picking my son up by the neck," said Langford's father on WCCO. "He then slapped him across his face, not sure exactly how many times."
Young claims he tapped his fingers on Chandler's lips and asked him if he wanted to have his head dunked in a pond nearby or have his mouth washed out with soap. His lawyer says he was just trying to make the bully accountable for his words.
All seven students interviewed said Young grabbed Chandler and most said he slapped him on the face.

Undefeated Nigerian junior middleweight Albert THE PUNISHER Onolunose has stepped in to face Grady Brewer in the main event this Saturday night, August 22nd at the Pala Casino Spa and Resort, it was announced today by Chet Koerner, President of TKO BOXING Promotions. Brewer was originally scheduled to face Philadelphias Anthony Thompson who withdrew this past weekend from the fight. Said Koerner, Thompson just backed out, he left a message claiming that hes retiring from boxing and doesnt want to fight anymore. Luckily Onolunose has stepped in to face Brewer on short notice..
Onolunose is undefeated and a very aggressive fighter which should make for an action packed fight this Saturday night.. Weve got a terrific card put together for the boxing fans in Southern California and were looking forward to a great evening of entertainment.
The Onolunose/Brewer twelve round bout will be contested for the I.B.C. Junior Middleweight World Title as the headline bout of TKO World Championship Boxing at the Pala Casino.
Onolunose is guided by award winning manager Cameron Dunkin who also counts world champion Kelly Pavlik, Nonito Donaire and Steven Luevanos amongst his vast stable.
Onolunose is a real fighter, I dont know what Thompsons problem is at this point. He wont even pick up the phone from me or Chet. Alberts wanted a bigger fight for a while, hes been in training and hes ready to battle Brewer on Saturday night. The fans at the Pala Casino are going to see a great fight between Onolunose and Brewer" said Dunkin.
The 28 year old Onolunose brings a record of 18-0-0 with seven knockouts into the battle with Brewer. Most recently, the resident of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, knocked out Steve Walker on April 25th in the second round.
Since defeating former world champion Stevie Forbes in 2006 for The Contender, Season Two championship, Brewer, 24-11-0 (13 KOs), fighting out of Lawton , Oklahoma, has fought twice since fully recovering from knee surgery. Amongst the most popular boxers in the sport, Brewer is coming off a 10-round decision win over Cornelius Bundrage in Providence, Rhode Island this past November.
TKO World Championship Boxing at the Pala Casino is presented by Chet Koerners TKO BOXING Promotions, originators of the nationally acclaimed HOMETOWN HEROES TO WORLD CHAMPIONS professional boxing series.

Marianne Marston & Angel McKenzie Team Up For Key September Fights
Probably the two best known female boxers in the UK, Smokin Joe Frazier/ Steve USS Cunningham protégé Marianne Golden Girl Marston and Big Brother star Angel The Artist McKenzie are working together at Rooneys Boxing Gym, close to London Bridge, to prepare for their upcoming fights.
The two teamed up after Marston contacted McKenzie to arrange a sparring session for her BBBofC British professional license trial and the pair struck it off straight away prompting McKenzie to ask Marston if she would be available for regular sparring in preparation for her September fight against current GBC Super Featherweight Champion and British number one Lyndsey Scragg.
Marston, who was managed and trained by the legendary Heavyweight Champion of the World Smokin Joe Frazier and his son Marvis at their North Philadelphia landmark gym until it was unexpectedly closed in March 2008 was then taken under the wing of then IBF Cruiserweight World Champion Steve USS Cunningham at the James Shuler Memorial Gym in West Philadelphia, has been training at Rooneys Boxing Gym since returning to London earlier this year to obtain a visa for her planned professional debut on the undercard of Brian Cohens May 9th WBC Americas Light Heavyweight title fight in South Philadelphia a fight she failed to make after the American Embassy in London turned down her application even though she had been training in America on and off for the past two years.
Marstons American promoter, Philadelphia based Bionic Bull Promotions, are hoping that her visa situation can be resolved in time for her to be at their South Philadelphia show on the 26th September, but with time running out this fight also looks in doubt. Not being one to give up on her dream Marston decided to apply for her British professional license, hence the call to McKenzie, with a view to debuting in England.
Taking a well deserved break after some serious sparring the Golden Girl spoke of her training and the impending debut, Everyone here, and I do mean everyone, at Rooneys Gym have gone out of their way to help me be ready. Terry (former Team GB head coach Terry Edwards MBE) has given so much of his time, he really is wonderful to work with. He really knows how to get the best out of me.
Its not just Terry though, Darren (Light Welterweight Darren Mr R&B Hamilton), has been teaching me some of his neat defensive stuff. and the ringwork that Ben (Welterweight Ben The Entertainer Day) and Karl (Light Middleweight Karol The Dr Ozimkowski) have given me is just awesome. Even the boss, John Rooney, has taken time out to work with me.
What can I say about Angel, she has been awesome. When I called her and asked if she would mind sparing with me for my British license trial she didnt hesitate to agree.
Sparring with Angel has been a real positive experience. She really has helped me improve, I just hope that I have done the same for her. Its great to work with someone who has been there, I mean shes fought 18 or 20 times in the pro ranks. Up to now Ive either been sparring with girls that have had limited professional experience or guys. Dont get me wrong they have all been great but Angel is another level altogether.
Another thing I like about working with Angel is she takes the time to go through things after we have sparred, you know, like a debrief, its great.
I just hope I can get my visa situation sorted before the end of the month, I really dont want to let Ivan and Donna (promoters Ivan & Donna Cohen - Bionic Bull Promotions) down a second time. They really have been so supportive and I really want to make their 26th September show. But if I dont Ivan has said If I cant get my visa through in time hell find a British promoter to work with and bring over some American fighters, including an opponent for me, and put on a UK event for me to debut at!
All the time Marston spoke the ever likable Angel McKenzie, who was evicted from the Big Brother house last month only to reappear live on ITV4 just two weeks later on a Mick Henneseyfight card, just sat patiently smiling and giving the occasional nod of agreement, but when the time came for her to talk on her upcoming fight her eyes lit up and she burst into life and purred in her distinctive, hundred mile an hour, Russian accented English, Yes, Yes its on the 18th September against Lyndsey Scragg. We are trying to make it a British title fight. Maybe its a bit too late, usually we need some months to tell the British Boxing control we have the fight, so it may just be a normal fight. We will have to wait and see.
Its Lyndsey Scragg and shes won a lot of fights, eight or nine fights and she won the whole time. Were trying to get an independent referee because many times I got home town decisions against me and I dont want any more.
Im training a lot. I train three or four times per day and Im doing a lot of sparring to get back to weight. Yeah Im improving with my body and Im running at night, unfortunately thats the only time I can run now because when I run in the day people stop me saying they love me from Big Brother.
Im pleased with my sparring here. Its a different world sparring here with Marianne at Rooneys Gym, In my gym most of the time I am fighting men, sparring with men. You can learn something, its really slow. But when you spar with girl, when you fight with girls its a different world. With sparring and punches, they dont hold down the aggression. If you are sparring with a guy they say Im not gonna hit you, Im not gonna hit you then as soon as you hit them they hit you back and then say oh sorry I didnt mean to hurt you Angel. Sparring with boys is good but sparring girl is much better. When I spar boys I am keeping it to 60Kg maximum. I can learn very much more, you know, with girls. We want more girls in the sport.
This country is the home of boxing and we need much more female boxers here. Germany is a very good scene and America is good. America and Germany is paying good money now. In this country its still like a hobby. I have learned the last seven years that they dont take it serious. I think it will take many years before things change and then female boxing will become like female tennis and well get good money.
But its still a lot of pressure, a few weeks ago I made history. I made the first boxing match live on TV in history. It was fun but I only had two weeks notice so was not my best. It was very short notice, but not a problem, Im always ready to fight. I still believe that London will have some World Champions. In this country we do not give it much attention. It wont change until we have a World Champion, then every one will say Ah, we have a World Champions here. Im trying to fight a World title, but I dont think it will be here. Ill have to go to Germany or France. Believe me it will be a different thing because in those countries they try and support the boxer.
In France they have three World Champions in different divisions and they do well, they have sponsorship. In France they try to keep female boxers in the country. Here weve just got eight professional female boxers. Just eight in this country. Its very sad, they dont help fighters to get fight. Its hard to even get sparring partner here.
Ah, sparring. Marianne is very strong, thats the most important thing in boxing. In my life I met a lot of girls who have come to my gym, but soon as a punch comes they see its painful, because female boxing as male boxing is can you hold a punch. If you can no problem then. Marianne, she can hold a punch. Thats the first thing, the second is in boxing its not how strong you are in the muscle, its how strong you are in the heart. Its all about fitness. She got fitness. After we fight shes not Aha aha aha she breathe normal. Shes got a lot of power and a lot of heart. Boxing is about skills. Its like you cant start talk Japanese or other language. Its the same about the language of your body. All the time I spend in the ring its like learning new words, new words. Its all about learning. The other thing is movement. Boxing you need to move. When I see her I think yeah shes a boxer. The more you spar the more you learn.
You need to keep believing in yourself. Its all right if you are Frank Warren, yeah. But boxing is all about heart. Here they make you an underdog and have to fight above your weight. Its hard but in female boxing if you fight here you will fight once a year. You will lose a dozen fighting above your weight. Its different in America you fight female boxers in your weight.
People dont forget September 18th when I fight Lyndsey Scragg, come and see Angel fight.
If all goes according to plan both Marianne Golden Girl Marston and Angel The Artist McKenzie will both be in action next month. The Golden Girl in the Bionic Bull Promotions event on the 26th September at a brand new venue on 23rd and Snyder in South Philadelphia. Whilst on the 18th September The Artist will be facing Lyndsey Scragg at the Civic Centre in Wolverhampton.
SAN DIEGO, CA (August 18, 2009) Middleweight Karl KJ Noons will take to the hill on Wednesday night, August 19th at Petco Park to throw out the first pitch before the San Diego Padres take on the Chicago Cubs.
Noons will square off in a six round bout against Randy Pogue on Saturday, August 22nd at TKO World Championship Boxing at the Pala Casino
Ive been a fan of the Padres for a long time and this is really a thrill to be on the field before the game and throw out the first pitch said San Diego native Noons.
Sporting a record of 10-2-0 with six knockouts, the former Mixed Martial Arts Champion is coming off an outstanding six round unanimous decision win over Enrique Gallegos on May 28th at the Arena Theatre in Houston , Texas .
In preparation for his upcoming match at the Pala Casino, Noons has been sparring at Freddie Roachs Wild Card Boxing Gym in Hollywood , California .
Pennsylvania native Pogue brings a record of 8-8-2 (2KOs) into the six round battle against Noons.

Bad Petrol in Ghana
When I travel around Ghana on my motorcycle I always stop at the SHELL station by the airport in Accra and purchase a few containers of dry gas/fuel.
I try to only buy gas at SHELL or TOTAL gas stations. If you're off the beaten path and purchase fuel at other stations I've found that there is a good chance that there may be water in the gas. You will know this when your engine loses power and you can barely maintain an idle even while working the accelerator. Stop your engine and add the dry gas to your fuel tank. Re-start your engine and keep working the accelerator until your engine's idle stabilizes. Then you can resume your journey.
- Road Trip
Bad petrol
Be careful to the filling stations.
The second filling station after the curve, going to Accra (I don't remember the name).
The managers are mixing petrol with cheap products in order to increase their profit.
It can really damage your car.
Take petrol to other filling staations, to be sure take petrol on the left side of the road, when you are driving towards Accra

As February is Black History Month and The Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo runs February 25 – March 17th, this seems like a great time to celebrate the contributions of the Black cowboys, who played a huge part in the winning of the west.
Some names may already be familiar to you, such as Nat Love or Bill Pickett; others such as George McJunkin or Bones Hooks may not be.
But whether you are familiar with any of the names or not, there is a wealth of information in the library covering the under-appreciated but fascinating history of the African American settlement in the west and the achievements of the Black cowboys.
There is a little something for everyone, so grab your rodeo boots and hat and check it out at your local branch library!
General histories of the Black cowboys include:
The Friends of Evelyn Meador will host a reception for our current gallery artist, Mr. Everett Woolum at 6:15 p.m. on Monday, February 18th in the Meeting Room of the library.
This is a free event open to the public.
Recently, the Friends of Evelyn Meador created an Amazon account to sell some of their more valuable book store inventory online. They now have over 200 books on Amazon and are very happy with the way the books are selling.
Remember, if you have books you would like to donate, all money raised by the Friends' book store goes to support our wonderful Seabrook library. Book donations can be brought to the book store during normal operating hours.
Friends Board Member, Kathy Viscariello, volunteered to spearhead the new operation. Kathy is hoping to recruit more volunteers to help with this ongoing project. To volunteer to help with the online operation, you can contact Mrs. Viscariello at 832-755-1125 or by email at email@example.com.

"My fellow Americans, this is an amazing moment for me. To think that a once scrawny boy from Austria could grow up to become Governor of California and stand in Madison Square Garden to speak on behalf of the President of the United States that is an immigrant's dream. It is the American dream."
"I know a lot of athletes and models are written off as just bodies. I never felt used for my body."

In this article, we prove a new global approximate controllability result concerning the magnetohydrodynamic equations of electrically conducting fluids, considered on the three-dimensional torus. In our case, the control is internally distributed, supported on an arbitrary open subset of the torus in the velocity equation and globally preserved in the magnetic field equation.
