This is driving me insane. There has been no issue with my xbox live for years and the last week or so it keeps dropping out every 3-5 mins.
Ethernet cable connection to a router that isn't dropping out to my pc at all.
have rebooted router
have turned off xbox and tried the 'connection tests' which always work and show everything is fine and dandy and then....3 mins later dump me out again.
Any ideas from the network geeks?

I have just spoken to my original machinist who drilled the locating hole and he has informed me he drilled then reamed the hole with a 3mm ream.
Makes sense as there is the chance that the 3 mm drill can drill undersize.
He has suggested a 3.05 mm hole so that after case hardening that the pin is still a push fit.
I have also discussed the current issue with the crack from the pin to the cam locating hole and he explained that the hole is at the end of the crack and it will not travel any further.
Makes sense as when a windscreen or plastic screen cracks you drill a hole at the end to stop the crack going any further.
If anyone wants to check this guy out visit

Thanks for the feedback and input too.

2003 BEST Davis Square Restaurant, Neighborhood
Gargoyles on the Square
Despite the name, hardly any Goth influence exists at this intimate Davis Square hangout. In fact, the bar and adjacent dining room are welcoming digs with floor-to-ceiling café windows and walls painted in earthy browns and reds, more sophisticated and friendly than dark and scowling. The menu is equally approachable, with such thoughtful combinations as chile and honey-grilled salmon, braised short ribs, and Cervena venison with aged Vermont cheddar, celery root, and apples. It's no wonder this spot is always humming with denizens, dressed in black or not, of its diverse surrounding neighborhood.

Jazz Covers - Reseñas
|"A bricklike compilation of groundbreaking design and photography."— The New York Times Book Review, New York, Estados Unidos
|"Eine wunderschöne, aufwändig gestaltete Sammlung ..."— Maxim, München, Alemania
|"TASCHEN have put together this new edition of Jazz Covers , a sizeable volume of exceptional Jazz LP covers dating back to the 40s. The kind of vinyl you buy purely for the cover, this brings together hundreds of designs across two books, with an emphasis on the colourful midcentury atomic style graphics that covered everything from food packaging to cushion covers. Helpfully, each record is accompanied by its illustrator's name, photographer, label etc, so plenty of hard info to geek out on. Even if jazzing out in a leather recliner and cashmere sweater isn't your thing, this is an incredible overview of design through the decades."— Selectism.com, Berlin, Alemania
|"But TASCHEN's new coffee table book, Jazz Covers II, is a an even better advertisement of why album artwork shouldn't be stuck in a cupboard... and enjoy these beauties from the TASCHEN book, which would also make a spectacular present for the design-appreciating muso in your life. And, yes, sacrilege, but if you don't have any record sleeves as beautiful as these, you could always slice them out of the book with a Stanley knife and frame them..."— www.yourhomeislovely.com, Reino Unido
|"... But a new 2 volume set of album cover art has raised the bar much higher. It's called Jazz Covers: From the 1940s to the 1990s. TASCHEN, the high-end art publisher, has a reputation for first class photo and art books, all with state-of-the-art production values and superb quality overall. The German-based company, which has retail outlets here in America, has just come out with an absolutely stupendous 2-volume set of album cover art for jazz lp's spanning 50 years... Most if not all of this art was hand made by major graphic artists like Reid Miles of Blue Note, Bob Ciano of CTI, Margo Guryan of Impulse. Photographers include greats like William Claxton and Herman Leonard. The 2 large tomes also feature many more obscure albums by European jazz artists released only in Europe, such as pianist George Arvanitas, Rodolfo Alchurron, Gustav Brom, Polish jazz pianist and film composer Krzysztof Komeda, among others. Volume one features rare gems like the rarely-seen original Fontana Records cover of Miles Davis' 1957 soundtrack for Louis Malle's first film, l'Ascenseur pour l'Échafaud (Lift to the Scaffold)... In fact, many of these classic jazz albums have been out of print or never reissued, so you may see albums you've never seen or even heard of. There were many I'd never seen, and I've been following jazz for a long time, both here and in Europe, where I once lived... The cover art in these two very hefty volumes —they'll almost break your arm off with their weight— is as timeless, stylish, and hip as the music it celebrates. What makes it even better is that it has album picks by contemporary musicians and producers like King Britt, Gilles Peterson, and Rainer Truby, as well as interviews with jazz historians like Michael Cuscuna, legendary engineer Rudy Van Gelder, Creed Taylor, and journalist Ashley Kahn."— KCRW.com, Los Angeles, Estados Unidos
|"A hugely enjoyable set of books for me on two levels; as a jazz music fan and a designer, so they easily earn my hearty recommendation. I'll certainly continue to dip into them when looking for something new to listen to and to inspire new work. In fact, if you're running a little short on creative inspiration lately, I suggest you pick up a copy, take some time out to indulge in the amazing array of cover art (just take a look at some of the examples below) while your favorite jazz record plays in the background, and if your creative juices don't start flowing, you might want to check your pulse."— Wingsart Blog, London, Reino Unido
|"Vinyl Addict. Le charme patiné des vieux vinyles... sans la poussière sur la pochette restée trop longtemps au fond du placard. C'est l'idée de TASCHEN qui compile en deux volumes les plus belles pochettes de 33 tours de jazz entre 1940 et 1990... Jazz Covers est une plongée dans l'histoire du jazz par la petite, mais tout aussi révélatrice porte du graphisme et de l'illustration."— Pariscope, Paris, Francia
|"De vez en cuando aparece en el mundo del jazz un rayo de luz que te hace sonreír. Este es el caso del relanzamiento por parte de la impagable TASCHEN de Jazz Covers, un precioso trabajo gráfico de gran formato relacionado con las portadas de vinilo de los discos de jazz desde 1940, hasta 1990. A través de sus páginas, Jazz Covers presenta espléndidos volúmenes, una amplísima selección de cubiertas de discos de jazz, que recorre visualmente la historia de esta maravillosa música durante medio siglo del diseño gráfico. Joaquim Paulo, el autor de esta maravillosa obra artística... Julius Wiedemannel editor de esta obra con mayúscula. Una obra imprescindible en la biblioteca de cualquier amante del jazz."— Apoloybaco.com, España
|"In two volumes, TASCHEN's newly released Jazz Covers features a brilliant selection of classic graphics from the 1940s to the 1990s. The selected material highlights important performers, albums, art directors, photographers, illustrators, and labels that gave the genre a distinct identity. Among those included are Bob Ciano, one of the greatest cover designers ever for the CTI Label, and producer Creed Taylor... Anyone with a love for jazz and a curiosity for design should have this publication in their collection. Buy it now."— Complex.com, New York, Estados Unidos
|"The 1940s and 1950s were times of innovation in the jazz world, and as much as that meant bebop in the clubs, it also meant striking, innovative sleeves on the vinyl format."— i, London, Reino Unido

Thanks for the nice words about CAR.
My thoughts are coming in a few hrs...and i have a lot to say :)
I didn't agree with all the winners, but I congratulated every winner and the people nominated, that's how it should have been it's called respect, if you didn't want to congratulate every one then fine, but don't go trying to take anything away from someone.
Here's the deal: I dunno who out-promoed who, but I know this: HWA vs. The Clique was the best feud I was ever a part of. The booking, the promos on both sides, and the company it was in made it that way.

How to Trap a Soccer Ball
Trapping a soccer ball is no easy task! Like passing, dribbling and shooting, trapping is a skill that is considered essential to the sport of soccer. Learn to trap a soccer ball and you will see a great improvement in your game.
1Keep your eye on the ball at all times.Ad
2As the ball approaches your foot, lift your foot slightly off of the ground.
3As you are lifting your foot, turn your foot outwards so that it is perpendicular to the direction of the ball.
4When the ball is just about to hit your foot, move your foot slightly backwards; this will soften the impact between your foot and the ball.
5Your goal is to cushion the ball with the inside of your foot as best as you can.
6With a proper trap, the ball should end up right in front of you.Ad
We could really use your help!

"LITTLE Lyova Haskell Rosenthal is precocious," commented The New York Times after the young child actress had warned the tenor onstage that an actor was sneaking up on him with a big knife in a scene from "L'Oracolo." (Little actress Lyova was confined thereafter to Gladys Swarthout's dressing room to protect the opera from future ruining of the dramatic scene.)
The minute I looked at the new memoir of little actress Lyova Haskell Rosenthal, better known as actress Lee Grant, I knew I wouldn't be able to resist "I Said Yes to Everything." Now the book is here from Blue Rider Press and I'm afraid I pretty much abandoned everything else until I read it.
She was nominated for an Oscar for the famous movie "Detective Story," which made Kirk Douglas a star. She then found herself listed as a communist and ruined for movies when she landed on the infamous Hollywood black list. (She didn't really know what a communist was; and as it turns out, neither did Hollywood, where frightened producers and studio heads condemned giant talents to nothingness over nothing.) Lee Grant didn't get off the list for a dozen years, not until JFK was president.
Meantime, Lee Grant went right on acting, acting out, writing, reading, searching, exploring life and sex and meeting everyone who was anyone and finally to making classic TV and big-screen movies like "Valley of the Dolls," "Peyton Place," "In the Heat of the Night" and "Shampoo."
It has always been a great secret cachet in my crowd to meet Lee Grant and to try to understand her myth and survival, to enjoy her burgeoning talent and sympathize for her mistreated soul. Eventually, she won an Oscar, an Emmy, the first ever Lifetime Achievement Award given by Women in Film, and founded her own production company. She now makes prize-winning documentaries.
I CONFESS I was disappointed not to find myself in the index of the glorious in the back of this book, though I am such a minor player in her saga. Lee does make you feel like the only person in the world she has ever loved or trusted (although all I was doing was talking to her about Elizabeth Taylor and what made the star of stars tick). Like Helen Gurley Brown, Lee Grant lets you remove from her presence while thinking you are the most fab person she has ever met. Quite an art!
ANYWAY, I love, adore and admire Lee Grant. Some of this book makes you think she is crazy; other parts open the reader up to her humanity, love of others, tolerance and the way she keeps show business at arm's length with a jaundiced but innocent eye. I can't really do justice to this memoir; it is crammed with names from Orson Welles to Warren Beatty, Jill Clayburgh to Faye Dunaway, Kim Stanley to Meryl Streep, Roddy McDowall to Chris Walken, Oscar Levant to John Garfield, and on and on. Let's also include Gloria Steinem and Susan Sontag.
Here is just a sample of the eye of Lee Grant talking about Grace Kelly after the Hollywood star and super beauty had decided to leave the movie business and become Prince Rainier's Princess of Monaco. You haven't read this particular description of the girl from Philadelphia, nor of how the writer Lee Grant segues from her own important business to comment on elements of her own private life. And she never writes or warns the reader of these amazing digressions, not even saying, 'But I digress...' You seldom know what road you are going to travel down with Lee.
She writes: "A kind of elegant ex-actor, mixer in social scenes approached me about doing an hour-long TV program on Princess Grace in Monaco. Budd Schulberg was writing. Interesting. Budd had given names to the committee (on Un-American Activities.) He'd also written 'On the Waterfront,' the great film Elia Kazan directed. This was the project Kazan and Arthur Miller had shopped in Hollywood and been turned down because -- it seemed to favor the unions -- and the studios were trying to strangle them.
"Budd was a charming worn-out guy. Very simpatico. We met on the way to the airport -- we looked in each other's eyes, saw the worlds apart in them, and kept our thoughts to ourselves.
"I visited the castle, went through all the formalities. Castles are dreary old places. One thinks, the upkeep, the upkeep. We were taken to the royal living quarters -- a comfy living room. Grace was welcoming, charming, stressed and nervous -- I asked her the questions Budd had written. The answers were formulaic and pleasant. Her posture was that of a girl whose mother had told her to sit straight.
"After the first set of questions, while the camera was reloading, I spoke to her as one woman to another, one actress to another. Before this choice to be princess, Grace had gone with my first theatre boyfriend, Gene Lyons. Gene and I were together for two years: Grace and Gene were together for two years -- and he was madly in love with her. She was a rich girl from Philly. Taking away the trappings, I said to her, 'Why are you so cowered? What are you afraid of? Here's a chance to talk about your life, your children, your husband -- be open. You're so closed off; the things you're saying sound scripted. It's boring.' She started to cry. The producer, who had been her friend in an earlier life, stepped in. 'Am I boring?' she asked. 'Am I boring? I don't want to be.' I watched and wished the camera were rolling. There she was, our Grace, so vulnerable and appealing. The producer was furious.
"On camera she relaxed more, was very charming, but revealed nothing. She saved the reality for the periods when the camera reloaded, and then she would really talk. She had no friends in Monaco, and the women in the royal families, those who were in the court, were very critical of her free and easy American style. She, at the time, was surrounded by sharp, mean critics. So she had to watch what she said at all times. Her husband, Prince Rainer? He had a lot of other interests, and she missed him. And he was sending her off that year to live in Paris by herself, because Stephanie was going to start school there, and he felt that the child needed her mother's guiding hand. I said, 'Well, Paris -- you'll be away from here at least!' She said, 'I spent time in Paris. I was never invited to dinner. I was never invited to anyone's house, their home. The only time anyone asked me anywhere was to some big function, where they wanted me with the ribbon across my chest!'
"While I was getting to know and care for Grace, Joey and Larry joined me in Monaco. I miss Larry Hauben more than any other of my dead friends. He was so f--king unique and smart. And a total druggie. Larry won the Oscar for the screenplay 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.'
"Larry and Joey took off for Rome, where Joey's friend Cerro was the biggest and cuddliest coke dealer in town. They all stayed up at the Spanish Steps at the Hotel De La Ville, which had been my favorite hotel, and then went through, literally, pounds of white powder piled up on the coffee table. Joey and Larry understood Italian perfectly, though they didn't speak a word of it, and had hours of heated discussions with Cerro and his friends. Larry slept upright in a closet, and they were both thrown out of the Vatican for lying on the marble floor in order to better view the Sistine Chapel. A boy's life. All the while I stayed behind in Monaco.
"The producer never spoke to me ever again."

Dr Peter Campbell, Syngenta said: "Honeybees are important pollinators for many crops, garden and wild flowers. They are essential both for food security and sustainable agriculture and horticulture. This work will substantially improve our understanding of the many factors affecting honeybee health. A main outcome of the project will be a predictive tool that can help beekeepers, farmers and other landscape managers to improve honeybee health."
Professor Janet Allen, Director of Research, BBSRC said: "We are all concerned about the decline in honeybee numbers and the effect this could have on our food supplies. It is highly likely that there is no one cause of the drop in numbers which makes this project absolutely critical."
As funders, the research councils and Syngenta are stepping up to the plate in the fight against declining honeybee populations. In addition to this project, Syngenta have also launched Operation Pollinator, a 5-year 1M programme in seven European countries (and the USA) to boost pollinating insects by providing wildflower strips. And Dr Osborne's project is one of four honey bee-related projects funded by the research councils in recent months, with a total investment of 2.1 million. For example, BBSRC is also funding a project led by Professor Ian Jones at Reading University, who is researching Israel Acute Paralysis Virus (IAPV), which is associated with colony collapse disorder and exacerbated by varroa mite infection. And the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) is funding two projects: Dr William Hughes of the University of Leeds is investigating the effects of genetic diversity on transmission and evolution of infection of honeybees by the fungal parasite, chalkbrood and Professor Mike Boots of the University of Sheffield is look

Proteins pep you up, support growth, and help meet the demands for a physique specific to sport
Are we eating enough protein? Many of my clients travel abroad for their matches and tournaments. They eat a lot more meat outside the country, and on returning, tell me that the boys out there are huge, and intimidate them by their sheer size.
So, what do our boys lack? Good-quality protein, found in meat. But, how often does an Indian non-vegetarian eat meat? Our immune system, muscle repair, growth, muscular development, blood cells, skin, hair… all require protein.
The demands for protein increase when you embark on a high-intensity workout. Young children and adolescents need more to support growth as well as meet the demands for a physique specific to sport. Every age group needs this essential nutrient along with a host of others.
Analyse your meals from today. Every single meal should have either milk or milk products, mushroom, lentils, legumes, meat, fish, chicken, egg, nuts or seeds.
Athletes who have specific targets of increasing muscle bulk or strength need 1.5 to 2 gm/kg body weight of protein, assuming the calorie intake and protein quality are adequate. For adolescents, the protein requirements are 2 gm/kg body weight while for sedentary individuals its 0.8-1 gm/kg body weight.
For gains in strength, workouts need to be combined with the right diet. The timing of protein intake and the quality of protein consumed do make a huge difference to the final results. Consume protein before and after workouts for better strength and muscle gains. Provision of adequate carbs is vital to spare the protein for muscle building work.
Peppy proteins also keep us alert, whereas carbs release the neuro transmitter serotonin, which makes one sleepy or relaxed. Being a vegetarian is not a disadvantage provided your meals are well balanced with right meal combinations.
Carl Lewis, Martina Navratilova, Edwin Moses were all vegetarians. The next time you sit for a meal, ensure that you have a sizeable chunk of protein on your plate!

As of Monday, December 24, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
CONYERS -- The Fleck family of Conyers will have triple the joy this Christmas. Bobby and Tiffini Fleck became parents for the first time in June to three blue-eyed beauties: Hannah, Isabella and Sophia.
Tiffini had prayed for twins for years, and the couple was overjoyed when they were first told that's what they were having. But later, when a specialist their regular doctor sent them to confirmed there were three babies, they were in shock.
"When we found out it was triplets, we weren't exactly excited about that part," she said. "We were joyful we were going to have an instant family," but, caring for triplets at first seemed overwhelming. The Flecks said it took about a week to process the information.
Tiffini had a traumatic pregnancy: Sophia and Isabella are identical twins, while Hannah is fraternal. They learned about halfway through the pregnancy that Sophia and Isabella had Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome, which occurs when one twin is taking away too much of the shared blood supply from the other twin. It's an extremely dangerous and often fatal condition.
Some doctors aren't well educated about the syndrome, and others recommend termination of the pregnancy or selective abortion. But the Flecks said they were fortunate to have a doctor who was looking for signs from the beginning and referred them to a specialist in Cincinnati. Within a week after the diagnosis they were on a plane and once at the hospital, Tiffini underwent a surgery where blood vessels and arteries connecting the twins' blood supply were burned and severed.
Tiffini could not be put under general anesthesia due to the danger to the babies, so she was awake for the procedure. "It felt like popcorn inside me," she said of when the connections were severed. Without the surgery, there was a risk that all three babies could have died.
Tiffini was told to stay out of work and placed on bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy, from February until the babies were born on June 1. The day she flew home from Cincinnati, her water broke prematurely, a repercussion of the surgery, and she spent a week at Newton Medical Center.
Her condition was so precarious, she had to remain almost totally horizontal, even lying in the backseat of the car to go to doctors appointments.
The goal was to get to week 28; she made it to 34.5 weeks. Labor was induced due to Tiffini's high blood pressure.
The Caesarian birth went well. "They all cried when they came out," Tiffini said. Sophia was the smallest, at 3 pounds 10 ounces; the other two topped 4 pounds.
The babies stayed in the neonatal intensive care unit at Southern Regional Medical Center for 10 days for observation and were all sent home at the same time, which medical staff told the Flecks is a rarity.
Now six and a half months old, the girls are healthy and are starting to scoot around on the floor, meaning it's just a matter of time before crawling begins. Mobility will be a challenge, the Flecks noted, and they plan to use plenty of gates to keep the babies as confined as possible.
The schedule they were placed on in NICU has been a life saver for the Flecks, who have maintained it since coming home, making sure they feed and nap at the same time.
Tiffini's 17-year-old sister, Lonna, moved in with the couple for the summer, both grandmothers rotated shifts and ladies from Prospect United Methodist Church in Newton, where Bobby is a youth pastor, have also assisted. The ladies are known as the babies' "adopted grandmothers."
"The first three months were hard. You might get three hours of sleep but only if you held all three of them on your belly on the couch," Tiffini said.
The babies were eating every three hours at first, and care required that at least three people be on hand. Caretakers would rotate sleeping shifts.
Tiffini has a two-year contract with Teach for America, a branch of Americorps, and due to her commitment, she had to go back to work by August. Bobby, who hopes to become a pastor and was in school at Emory University to obtain a master's degree, is holding off on furthering his education to stay at home and look after the babies.
He's got them on a tight schedule, sleeping 11 hours at night and napping for 30 to 45 minutes during the day.
Still, it's tiring.
"We love Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts," Tiffini said. In fact, they're such regular customers, Dunkin' Donuts sometimes lets them have the senior citizen discount.
The couple can easily do one load of laundry a day of just baby clothes, bibs and burp cloths. They went through 24 diapers a day at first, but that's been reduced now that the triplets can wear 12-hour diapers that last through the night. The couple also has to cram three car seats into their Hondas, and they hope to get a minivan soon.
Though money is tight, they say they're grateful for the amazing help from family and friends, noting that they only recently had to start purchasing diapers, since they got so many during their two baby showers.
The couple is planning a quiet Christmas at home, notifying family and friends to come to them, as it's too much of a hassle to take out the babies. They got the girls one gift each.
"We decided we don't want to have three of everything," Tiffini said. "For the future, we do want to teach sharing as early as possible. If they want a car at 16, it'll be one."
They also only dress the girls alike on special occasions.
As for Tiffini and Bobby, they said their Christmas wish has already been fulfilled.
"To me this Christmas, these are the best Christmas presents we can ask for, these three," Bobby said.
Editor's Note: Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome is a rare condition affecting identical twins when they are in the womb. The syndrome is not well-known, but kills more babies than SIDS. The Flecks' encourage anyone who wants to learn more about this syndrome to visit www.tttsfoundation.org.

This invention relates in general to radio frequency (RF) receivers and more particularly to control of receiver dynamic range.
With the increasing demand for multi-mode/multi-band wireless products, there is a need for cost effective architectures such as direct conversion radio frequency (RF) receivers. The use of a dynamic range on demand direct conversion architecture (this invention) provides a high performance receiver with long battery life, reduced parts count and shortened manufacturing time. In the past, many electronic devices using other architectures have had a reduced battery life, increased battery size and/or cost due to the required use of more complex battery chemistries. By way of example, the conventional direct conversion code division multiple-access (CDMA) receiver requires approximately twice as much current drain in the RF to analog-to-digital (A/D) line up which has a major impact on the receive mode current drain.
With regard to CDMA, increased competition in the wireless market has driven receiver topology designs to their most cost effective solutions. These new architectures typically make the system less complex and cross platform. This cost savings has resulted in the removal of passive selectivity such as surface acoustic wave (SAW) or crystal filters to reduce cost and a broadening of the analog-to-digital (A/D) converter specifications to meet the multi-MA (Multi Access) requirements. Active integrated circuits provide a cost effective method in which to implement these new architectures.
Currently there are no new methods in which to implement a passive highly selective or high quality factor (Q) filter onto an integrated circuit silicon based process. Thus, for a given integrated circuit process, the current drain will increase as any new receiver designs remove off chip passive selectivity. When large signals are present and no passive selectivity is used to protect the active circuitry, the active circuits will have to operate when weak and very strong signals exist simultaneously. With passive selectively, large alternate signals are attenuated before the active circuitry, thus reducing its strength at the active circuits. New cost effective architectures with integrated circuit solutions will thus have to handle a larger range of signals.
Prior art FIG. 1 shows an exiting receiver zero intermediate frequency (ZIF) architecture 100 for a CDMA handset. As is known in the art, the 3 dB low-pass bandwidth of the CDMA signal is approximately 620 KHz. Due to the fact that the IS-95 CDMA standard has to co-exist with AMPS standard signals in the same frequency band, this type of receiver has to tolerate an AMPS interferer that is approximately 74 dB higher than the CDMA signal at 900 KHz away from the center of the carrier. The receiver shown in FIG. 1 passes an incoming RF signal through an adjustable low noise amplifier (LNA) 103 into an RF saw filter 105. The input signal is than fed though a down conversion mixer 107 onto an IF SAW filter 109 providing approximately 30 dB of attenuation at 900 KHz. As typical with a ZIF receiver architecture, the signals then are split into I-Q components by mixing them using ZIF mixers 111,113 and local oscillator 115. This architecture relaxes the dynamic range requirements of the baseband filters 119,121 and the A/D converters 123,125 to the extent that 7-pole filters are used and there is only a need for a 6 bit A/D converter 123,125 in the I-Q signal chain.
The direct conversion receiver architecture shown in prior art FIG. 2 has demonstrated one viable solution in reducing cost and part count. In this architecture, no IF SAW filter is used. Thus, in order to provide the protection of IM distortion, 9-pole baseband filters 201,203 are used along with higher resolution A/D converters 205,207. The drawback of this architecture is a high current drain. In systems in which the received signal is slotted, such as GSM, the current can be reduced through duty cycles in a "battery save" mode.
For example, if the current drain is approximately 100 milliamps (mA) during the active cycle and approximately zero mA for battery save cycles, the receiver is only in an "on" mode only {fraction (1/10)}th of the talk time. Thus, the average total current drain is 10 mA i.e. (100 mA/10). This duty cycle technique cannot be used for most protocols and hence the current drain (100 mA) would be unacceptable. In further 3GPP systems, such as wide band CDMA (WCDMA), the receiver circuitry is kept active during the entire receive time. Existing land mobile radio analog frequency modulation (FM) systems operate continuously as well.
It is desirable to increase system linearity in the presence of strong on or off channel signals in order to avoid creating intermodulation (IM) products in the desired signal passband. Typically, system linearity can be improved by reducing gain before reaching the IM limiting stages. For some systems, it is desirable to use an amplifier with continuously variable gain to optimize the required gain reduction. At best, many of these continuously variable gain amplifiers have constant third order intercept (IM3) over their gain control range, and at the worst, the third order intercept degrades with increasing attenuation.
The gain controllable amplifiers are usually placed near the front of the radio frequency (RF) or intermediate frequency (IF) string in the receiver thus allowing for system intermediation improvements when gain is decreased. For large signals that require large amounts of gain reduction, the adjustable gain amplifier often becomes the limiting factor for receivers IM performance. In these circumstances, the designer of the stage would need to design an amplifier with sufficient current drain to give the IM performance required for strong signal conditions. This results in excess current drain for weak signal conditions when high linearity is not as important.
Hence, multi-mode receivers which can receive multiple types of MA's will require A/D converters with a large dynamic range. Integrating active selectivity becomes increasingly difficult and consumes more current drain for multi-mode radios. With less active selectivity before the A/D, the dynamic range requirements increase. This, substantial increases in current are needed to maintain multi-mode receiver capabilities. One architecture that is being proposed for next generation CDMA and WCDMA standards is the direct conversion receiver. The IS-95 CDMA system standard is used to quantify the increase in the current drain of the direct conversion receiver compared to a dual conversion receiver.
Thus, the needs exists to provide a low noise amplifier and mixer system topology such that a decreased amount of dynamic range is required by the LNA plus mixer thereby requiring a lesser amount of current drain. This would have an overall effect of providing a more efficient amplifier plus mixer chain capable of handling a wide range of signal levels with relatively small current drain when integrated into a receiver integrated circuit (IC) package.
FIG. 1 is a prior art block diagram showing a standard zero intermediate frequency receiver topology.
FIG. 2 is a prior art block diagram showing a zero intermediate frequency topology without an IF filter and more selective channel filtering and increased digital to analog converter resolution.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the dynamic range on demand receiver in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention.
The system of the present invention provides a reduced cost and parts count while also providing a new direct conversion architecture. The present invention deemed dynamic range on demand receiver (DRDR) uses the incoming signals to adjust the dynamic range requirements of the receiver. The receiver constantly updates the dynamic range requirements of a dynamic control stage using active feed forward and feedback signal level detectors. The invention allows the RF amplifier and mixer bias current to be set lower for signal conditions in which little or no gain reduction is needed (weak signals) through AGC detection control circuitry. This allows for enhanced linearity performance with an associated current drain penalty only when the enhanced performance is needed. This allows then for potential current drain savings without sacrificing linearity performance. The proposed invention functions within a radio frequency (RF) receiver as a low noise amplifier variable gain (LNA/VGA) and down conversion mixer typically implemented as a stage in intermediate frequency (IF) or direct conversion receiver (DCR). Wideband, off-channel and on-channel detectors are used to give maximum flexibility to the AGC system. The wideband detector will have a very fast response and should be able to react to fast blockers. With the addition of hysteresis, the A/D dynamic range can be controlled without any degradation to BER and sensitivity.
As seen in FIG. 3, a radio frequency (RF) signal is input to a variable low noise amplifier (LNA) 301. The RF signal is amplified and directed to both a wideband detector 303 and an RF surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter 305. The wideband detector 303 works to detect the presence of wideband on or off channel RF signals such as a code division multiple access (CDMA) signal. The output of the wideband detector 303 is used as an input control signal to the automatic gain control (AGC) 307. As noted above, and is well known in the art, the RF SAW filter 305 works to remove unwanted input signal components.
The output of the RF SAW filter 305 is directed to in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) channel baseband mixers 309, 311. Both the I channel mixer 309 and the Q channel mixer 311 are mixed with a local oscillator signal to provide direct version zero intermediate frequency (ZIF) receiver. Although shown here as a ZIF receiver, it will be evident to those skilled in the art that the invention as discussed herein may also to apply to multiple IF receiver architectures as well.
The output of the I and Q channel mixers 309, 311 are directed to both a variable dynamic range filters 315, 317 respectively and to an off channel detector 313. The off-channel detector works to detect the presence of strong interfering off-channel RF signals. The output of the off-channel detector is directed to the AGC control 307 where its information is used for AGC control. As is well known the art, the gain of the amplifier or mixer (y) can be represented by the equation: y=xa1+2a2+x3a3+ where x represents the input signal and the coefficients a2,a3 represent non-linear components that optimally should equal zero if the stage where to have an infinite dynamic range. Although typically not the case, this would be the case where y=xa1 and the stage would be entirely linear. Generally the non-linear coefficients are determined by current bias.
In order to control linearity of the LNA and mixer, the non-linear coefficients a2 and a3 are dynamically adjusted though the bias current. It will be evident to those skilled in the art that precisely how a2 and a3 vary with bias current. Through accurate modeling this can be done through SPICE simulations which can then be used to determine mapping between desired linearity performance and current drain.
An I channel analog filter 315 and Q channel analog filter 317 are both variable dynamic range filters controlled by the AGC control 307. Both filters typically might be 9-pole filters and are used to variably control the dynamic range of each channel based upon control input from an on-channel detector 327 and off channel detector 313. Dynamic bias adjustment is accomplished though an AGC signal that is proportional to the input signal strength in decibels (dB). The AGC signal provided by the AGC control 307 would be used by a bias controller (not shown) to provide a dynamically controlled input bias to the LNA 301 and mixers 309, 311. Thus, dynamic bias control would be accomplished by monitoring the wideband detector 303, off-channel detector 313 and on-channel detector 327 while using a unique bias control to adjust control current to the LNA 301 and mixers 309, 311.
The output of the I channel filter 315 and Q channel filter 317 are then directed to a variable resolution analog-to-digital (A/D) converters 319, 321 respectively. The A/D converter 319 and 321 is typically a 6 to 10 bit converter used for controlling the dynamic resolution of the digital signal. A dynamic bias adjustment of the A/D converter 319, 321 is also controlled through the use of AGC control 307.
In one embodiment of the invention, the A/D architecture might be implemented in a pipeline type architecture. This architecture would be very suitable for the proposed receiver, since there exists a pipeline stage for every bit of an A/D converter. This would lend itself well enabling components to be "shut-off" (or reduce the stage current) to the various least significant bits (LSB's) of the converter based on any interfering signal's amplitude.
In this embodiment, each bit of the A/D converter would be obtained from a separate stage (independent of other stages). As long as the response time of the A/D converter and the wideband detector are faster than the baseband filter delay, the LSB's can be successfully turned on and off to control dynamic range and reduce current drain. In order to speed up the response time of the A/D converter, small amounts of current can be maintained in a switched capacitor stage (not shown) to keep the capacitors charged.
The output of the A/D converters 319, 321 are then directed to digital filters 323, 323. Both I digital filter 323 and Q digital filter 325 are used to control the desired digital frequency response of both I output channel 329 and the Q output channel 331 to further attenuate channel interference. The current consumption of the digital filter 323, 325 can also be controlled by the AGC control 307 based on the amount of receiver dynamic range that is required due to potentially interfering on or off channel interfering signals. The digital filter current drain can also be reduced due to the reduction in switched activity of each A/D's 319, 321 least significant bits. This technique can easily be implemented to guarantee reduction in overall power consumption.
In sum, the present invention utilizes a receiver topology where an IF SAW filter is removed to achieve a higher degree of dynamic range with lower noise and higher order baseband filters. In addition, the A/D converter dynamic range has been increased in order to be able to tolerate high degrees of on-channel and off-channel interference. The channel interference is further attenuated by the digital filters. As a result of the increased dynamic range in the baseband filers and A/D converters, the current drain of the receiver line-up controlled through the use of a dynamic bias using an AGC control based on input from a wideband detector, on-channel detector and off-channel detector. Thus, the present invention is a great savings in current drain through dynamic bias adjustment with reduced parts count.
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be clear that the invention is not so limited. Numerous modifications, changes, variations, substitutions and equivalents will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims. As used herein, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

A Conflict is Brewing
The concern about the Iranian nuclear program in Israel is growing. Israeli sources say there's a possibility of some type of conflict in the near term. Most observers have been talking about an Israeli strike against Iran, but a source in Israel says the likelihood is greater that Iran will launch a pre-emptive strike in Israel using Hezbollah and Hamas. Hamas now has rockets that can reach Tel Aviv, so does Hezbollah. The thinking among some top Israelis strategists appears to be, Iran will launch this war via remote control as a distraction.

Iran's missile test "Troublesome"
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman says Iran's missile tests are "troublesome." "You combine these show-of-force type missile tests along with the other revelations that have been brought to light over the last couple of days with their continued development of a nuclear program, and you put all those together, and it paints a picture of ... a pattern of deception," added Whitman. A confrontation between Israel and Iran is looming large. The Israelis say they will attack Iran to prevent them from developing a nuke. The Iranian government says they'll be sorry if they do.

Welcome to Israel! Now Stay?
Plead Maccabiah Games organizers
When you were a kid, you heard the Maccabiah Games advertised by hard-driving JCC swim instructors as a quadrennial Diasporic jamboree—an event where American Olympic legend Mark Spitz could swim as one Jew among many, rather than as the only Jew in the pool. This year, though, the Israeli government seems to be approaching the Games more as a recruitment opportunity for its own Olympic team. Last night's opening ceremony in Ramat Gan, just outside Tel Aviv, welcomed athletes from 65 countries with fireworks and trick cyclists on lit-up bicycles, along with an exploding offer from the Immigrant Absorption Ministry of $1,000 for sports gear and $300 a month in scholarships for competitors who decide to stay. "Today they represent their countries, but I hope that in the next Games many of them will march under the Israeli flag and become an inseparable part of the Israeli Olympics team," Absorption Minister Sofa Landver said.
But as the Jerusalem Post's Amir Mizroch points out, if the Israelis were really serious about increasing their medal haul at the London Games in 2012—from just one in Beijing last year, for windsurfer Shahar Zubari—the absorption, sports, and employment ministries would team up to subsidize overseas travel for Jewish athletes in order to make sure the Maccabiah doesn't become "the Rich Jews' Olympics." In the meantime, though, we won't hold our breath waiting to see whether first-time Maccabean (and first-time visitor to Israel) Jason Lezak, the 33-year-old who anchored the U.S. relay team to victory at the Water Cube and helped win Michael Phelps his eight gold medals, decides to take the bait.

By Johnny firstname.lastname@example.com Bonita Sims-Gude was a part of the crisis intervention team that helped Luella High School students cope, in September, with the sudden death of a student, who was a popular senior at the school. "That was one of those heart-wrenching days," Sims-Gude said. "This young woman touched so many lives. Even if you didn't know her, you would have been touched by all of the good things that people had to say about her." Sims-Gude says that, as school psychologist for Luella Middle and High schools, among the many duties of her job is counseling during times of crisis and mourning. But many are not fully aware that people like her even exist in schools. This week has been designated by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) as "School Psychology Awareness Week," to bring public attention to the profession. "I don't think they [the public] know the extent of the training for school psychologists," Sims-Gude said. "I don't think they know the level of training required for school psychologists." School psychologists must be certified, or licensed specialists in psychology. That is, they must have certification beyond a master's degree level of education in school psychology. "We are trained as interventionists, therapists, in psycho-educational testing ... ," she said. "We have different roles that we play." So echoed Katherine Cowan, spokeswoman for the 39-year-old NASP. "School psychologists play an important role in schools," Cowan said. "One of our main focuses this year is the importance of resilience, the capacity we have to deal with things that are difficult." The Henry County School System has 20 school psychologists for 44 schools. The Clayton County School System has 18, serving 59 schools. In each school system, nearly 1,000 students undergo psycho-educational evaluations yearly to help determine students' psychological needs in academic settings. "Since there are so few of us, we are really the experts in a lot of different areas," said school psychologist, Mandy Condit. School psychologists, she said, are responsible for the crisis-support and risk-assessment teams that aid in the student intervention process. "We also do a lot of consultation - talking with parents, teachers, and administrators about students' needs," said Condit, also the coordinator of psychological services in Clayton. "It might not be psychological evaluation, it might be intervention for that student to help them in school," she added. "I think that parents need to know that we are also there as a resource to schools." School psychologists also evaluate students suspected of having learning disabilities or behavioral problems, said Danny Martin, a special education coordinator in Henry. He is in charge of the school psychology and emotional behavioral disorders program in Henry. "We help instruct teachers on how to deal with student problems and how to identify students who may be depressed, have emotional distress, or learning problems," Martin said. "Students have such a complex need today that it's very important that we have professionals who can evaluate the students' needs and be able to suggest what services the students need to be able to demonstrate what they need to demonstrate." - On the net: National Association of School Psychologists: www.nasponline.org

Does Sacred Gold freeze the OS for you ?

Does Sacred Gold freeze the OS for you ?
I'd like to know if other people have had the same issue with Sacred Gold than I have.
Upon starting an Ancaria adventure, I had very soon a complete hard freeze. Sounds loops for a couple of seconds and then the system is totally frozen (cannot change console, no response from keybord, etc.) There was no error message in console and the debug file did not reveal anything. In the case of the gladiator, this occurred as soon as the character enters the arena at the beginning. I saw the same problem with other characters, and in the Underworld campaign.
This occurred in my 2 Linux distros (Mandriva 2009.1 and Arch Linux) with 2 different versions of the nvidia proprietary driver. My graphics card is a 7600GT AGP. It also happens if sound is disabled.
Now the weirder part. I was advised on Phoronix forums (
) to try to disable AGP on my system. Indeed, using Option "NvAGP" "0" or Option "NvAGP" "1" in my xorg.conf seemed to fix the issue. I also played with the agpgart modules that I unloaded. But the strangest thing is that if I use my original options in my xorg.conf file, then I do not see the original crash anymore, even after hard reboot (where the agpgart module is automatically reloaded)!!! That's so puzzling.
Is there anyone with the same issue ? How could you explain the "repair" ? Thanks for your help.

As the Union Home Ministry's two circulars seeking to promote Hindi in the social media stirred up a big controversy, Union Urban Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu today said Hindi was not being forced on anyone and a "wrong propaganda" was on about Hindi imposition.
"This is again a wrong propaganda going on; nobody is forcing Hindi on anybody...," Naidu, also the Parliamentary Affairs Minister, told reporters here. "I'm for popularising more and more regional languages, giving them importance- that is the policy of this government.
There is no question of forcing any language. Let there be no apprehensions in this regard," he added. The Home Ministry circulars have invited criticism particularly from parties in Tamil Nadu, who have raised apprehensions about Hindi imposition on non-Hindi speaking sections. The move has come under attack from DMK leader M Karunanidhi and NDA Tamil Nadu allies MDMK chief Vaiko and PMK founder S Ramadoss.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has shot off a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi describing the proposal as "against the letter and spirit" of the Official Languages Act. The "highly sensitive issue" had caused "disquiet" to the people of Tamil Nadu "who are very proud of and passionate about their linguistic heritage", she said. The Home Ministry's official language department had issued a circular on May 27 asking all Ministries and Departments, public sector undertakings and banks to give prominence to Hindi on official accounts in social media. "...all officers and employees who operate official accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Blogs, Google, Youtube should use Hindi and English languages. Prominence should be given to Hindi," Director, official language, Avadesh Kumar Mishra wrote in the directive.
Another circular announced prize money of Rs 2,000 to two employees who do their official work mostly in Hindi. Rs 1,200 and Rs 600 will be given to the second and third position holders respectively.
DMK chief M Karunanidhi cries foul over central government's directive on Hindi
Dubbing as beginning of "imposition of Hindi", the NDA Government's reported directive to officials to give priority to the language in social media, DMK chief M Karunanidhi said on Thursday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should focus on economic growth and social development. "Giving priority to Hindi will be construed as a first step towards attempt at creating differences among non-Hindi speaking people and making them second class citizens," the 90-year old leader, whose party spearheaded the anti-Hindi agitation in the 1960s in the state, said in a statement. Read more
Ensure English is used on social media, Jayalalithaa tells PM Narendra Modi
The chief minister said she had learnt that the two office memoranda issued by the Union Home Ministry "direct that official accounts on social media like Facebook, Twitter, blogs, Google and YouTube, which at present use only English, should compulsorily use Hindi, or both Hindi and English, with Hindi being written above or first". That makes the use of Hindi mandatory and English optional, she said in the letter. "As you are aware, as per the Official Languages Rules, 1976, communications from a central government office to a state or Union Territory in Region "C" or to any office (not being a central government office) or person in such state shall be in English." Read more
Jammu and Kashmir will use its official languages: Omar Abdullah
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is the latest politician to condemn the government's push for prioritising Hindi in the official social media interactions. He said his state has two official languages, English and Urdu, which will continue being used. He said, "Whoever wants to use Hindi can use it but our country is so large that it becomes very difficult to impose one language or one religion on anyone." Abdullah also spoke for people who want to use their mother tongue, saying that if their language is different from Hindi, they should use it. Read more
ALSO READ: Why Prime Minister Narendra Modi's push for Hindi doesn't appeal to more than half of 1.2 billion Indians
Since taking office as India's prime minister last month, Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi has taken a clear stand in support of Hindi, pushing for it to replace English as the preferred language of the capital's urbane and golf-playing bureaucrats. Hindi and English are India's two official languages for federal government business, although India's constitution recognises a total of 22 languages. But with more than half of India's 1.2 billion people using another language as their mother tongue, the push for Hindi risks widening communication divides in a highly diverse country, especially in the southern and eastern states, where local languages or English are preferred. Read more
Guideline on Hindi 'injustice to other national languages': CPI(M)
CPI(M) today attacked the Narendra Modi government for its directive on the use of Hindi as the medium for government communication on social media while seeking modification of the same. "Government should modify its policy and, along with Hindi, use other national languages as well as English for communication on social media," the party's Politburo said in a statement here.
The Modi government's decision to use Hindi as the sole medium of communication for government information on social media was "against the principle of linguistic equality and is an injustice to other national languages," it said. Read more
