PETALING JAYA: The two young sons of Canadian citizens Muktesh Mukherjee, 42, and Xiaomo Bai, 37, are anxiously awaiting their parents' return from a holiday in Vietnam. So are their many relatives in India.
The couple, who had been living in Beijing, had boarded MH370 to return to Beijing where the family lives.
According to Mukherjee's LinkedIn profile, the former Montreal resident was serving as vice-president of the China operations for Xcoal Energy and Resources, a position he had held since May 2012.
He is also the grandson of Mohan Kamaramangalam, the steel and mines minister in former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's Cabinet. Kumaramangalam himself had died in an air crash in New Delhi in 1973.
CBC News reported that Mukherjee and Bai met when he was in Beijing on a business trip in January 2002, and were married in Montreal in August the same year. Bai was reported to have studied at the Beijing Foreign Studies University.
On their Facebook accounts, the couple had posted photos during their vacation at a resort on the coast of Vietnam.
While their children wait in Beijing, relatives in India are clinging to hope.
"I still hope that God will not be so cruel to a family," said his uncle in Calcutta.
The Courier-Mail of Australia reported that Australian couple Catherine and Robert Lawton (pic), 54 and 58, had headed off on a long-planned trip to China together with their friends Rodney and Mary Burrows, 59 and 54.
The Lawtons have three daughters, Amanda, Melissa and Glenda, and two grandchildren.
"Dad phoned this morning and said 'Bobby's plane is missing'.
"I couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it. We just want to know where it is, where the plane's come down, if there's anything left," Robert's brother David Lawton was quoted as saying.
The New York Times spoke to the father of Philip Wood, 50, another passenger on MH370 and an IBM employee in Kuala Lumpur.
"What can you do? What can you say?"
"We're all sticking together," his father, Aubrey Wood, said from his home in Texas.

I recently moved to Austin from the Houston area. I am on this site mainly to get out and meet people.. I enjoy playing as well as watching pretty much any sport. If there is a basketball or a football near by...i'm going to pick it up (just can't help it). Im very laid back...I like the comfy clothes, but can wear the heels if the occasion calls for it. Good conversation is the best! Snuggling up on the couch watching a good movie or a favorite tv show is a close second. I also LOVE a good book...I don't constantly have to be entertained by other people... but I love spending time with friends and family. I'm a giver more than a taker almost to a fault I guess. Figuring out the little things that make someone happy really does make me happy as well though so I guess in a way it's give and a take.

Earth reaches closest distance to Sun for 2013
The sun is shining brightly on the new year of 2013.
On Wednesday the earth reached its closest annual point to our star, a phenomenon known as perihelion. At a paltry distance of 91.4 million miles (147 million km), the sun appears about 3.4% larger from Earth at perihelion than at aphelion, when the distance between the two is greatest.
Each year in early January, the sun shines about 7 percent more intensely than it does in early July, when it reaches its aphelion distance of about 94.5 million miles (152 million km).
The Earth's surface is warmed about 4 degrees Fahrenheit above normal at perihelion, according to Starry Night Education. While the effect is relatively minor compared to the seasonal tilting of the Earth's axis away from the sun, it does make Northern Hemisphere winters slightly milder than Southern Hemisphere winters at equivalent latitudes.
On average, the Earth is 93 million miles (150 million km) from the sun. The relatively small difference between perihelion and aphelion means Earth's orbit is a near perfect circle, exceeded only by Venus and Neptune within our solar system.
Mars and Mercury have very eccentric orbits by comparison. Innermost Mercury swings dramatically between a distance of about 29 million miles (46 million km) and 43 million miles (70 million km) during its 88-day year. Along with the smaller planet's virtual lack of atmosphere, this orbital eccentricity helps to account for wide variations in Mercury's surface temperature– ranging from -300 degrees Fahrenheit to 800 degrees Fahrenheit.
On Earth, annual dates for perihelion and aphelion align with the regularity of Earth's annual orbit, respectively occurring in early January and early July. The next aphelion will be July 5th 2013 at 11am EST, while the next perihelion will be on January 4th 2014 at 7am EST. Make sure to mark your calendars and wear plenty of sunscreen.

Schwarzenegger signs major health care bills
When fully enacted, the new federal law will require most Americans to carry insurance or pay a fine. More than 46 million Americans are currently uninsured, including more than 6.7 million Californians, according to the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.
Republican lawmakers have argued that the federal government should take full responsibility for creating the exchange and that a state-run program could turn into an unaccountable bureaucracy.
Critics also have raised concerns that the exchange will further deplete the state's general fund when California is already grappling with a $19 billion deficit.
The California Chamber of Commerce issued an analysis earlier this month concluding that the cost could exceed $1 billion annually. But Schwarzenegger said Thursday that the program's preliminary planning stage would be federally funded.
After 2014, the exchange would be self-supporting from fees paid by participating health plans and insurers, the governor said.
Twenty states have signed on to a lawsuit seeking to block federal health care reform, and a Florida judge is scheduled to hear arguments on the issue in December.
California's Republican gubernatorial hopeful, Meg Whitman, and GOP Senate challenger Carly Fiorina have both said they want to repeal the law.
Rounding out the health care legislation approved Thursday were a bill mandating at least 60 days written notice before insurers implement any changes to premium rates or coverage, and another requiring health plans to cover certain preventive services without imposing cost-sharing.

Get a life Chris, start a rock band or visit your granny anything is a better movie than this.
Being unfamiliar with this Marvel franchise, I went in to the movie with no preconceptions. I have also never seen Chris Pratt before as an actor. Wow!, he nailed the lovable rogue role. The whole cast showed excellent comedic timing throughout the movie. The special effects were seamless and not too over the top. I look forward to seeing this one again in the theater and plan to own a copy when it becomes available.

Keep Fear Alive
The liberal obsession with playing the race card.
Nov 21, 2011, Vol. 17, No. 10 • By NOEMIE EMERY
The explicit language may not have been there, but if results counted, Humphrey would have dined on the bill many times over. "Do you want a society that is nothing but an endless power struggle among organized groups?" Humphrey asked later, which is a perfect description of what his party turned into. Reagan was maligned as a racist for doing no more than trying to return to the vision of Humphrey, which makes sense as they were Democrats in the same era. Reagan was still a Democrat in 1948, when Humphrey made his name with his speech at the convention, urging his party to step from the shadows of segregation into the bright sunshine of civil rights.
Fact number three is that the South moved into the Republican column for the first time in the election of 1964 and has stayed there since, leading to the belief in the minds of some that it stayed there for exactly that reason, and that time has stood still. In real life, though, time has brought wondrous changes to the GOP and to Dixie alike. With desegregation and air conditioning the Old South took off like a rocket, becoming the country's fastest-growing region, drawing immigrants and industries from all over the world. Some of the biggest states are in the South, some of the busiest technical corridors, some of the best schools and hospitals; and some of the best GOP minority leaders, about which much more below.
At the same time, the GOP would make itself over, embracing new issues and new blocs of voters, becoming the party of free market forces, traditional values, and a pro-active stance on defense. Reagan brought into his coalition Democratic hawks, neoconservatives who were civil rights backers, and a new generation of activists, mainly enthused by free market ideas. It became more Jack Kemp's party and less that of Strom Thurmond, who himself had undergone changes: Within a few years of crossing the aisle, he would be backing black nominees for federal office, wooing black voters, and hiring black staff. In 1964, there was one main reason white Southerners would prefer the Republican party; by 1968, when riots emerged, there were more of them; by 1972, when the Democrats nominated George McGovern, there were a great many more. As racism started to fade, new issues rose to anchor the South to the party of Reagan, for which the party of "amnesty, abortion, and acid" was a very bad fit. The transition was fixed when Southern conservatives began electing nonwhites and women who shared their values. The conservative governor of Louisiana is the child of Indian immigrants. Conservatives in Florida elected a black and Hispanic who are favorites of conservatives everywhere. South Carolina—home of John C. Calhoun, interposition, secession, Fort Sumter, Strom Thurmond, and of the flap over the Confederate flag at the grounds of the state capitol that has gone on forever—has a Republican governor who is female and also the child of Indian immigrants, and a black Republican congressman who defeated the son of Strom Thurmond in the election last year.
Liberals may believe geography is destiny and is eternal, but events have proven otherwise. The Dixiecrats like Thurmond are long gone, and in their place are armies of younger conservatives, raised long after the civil rights struggle, whose hackles rise skyward on being told they are and will be racist forever because before they were conscious of anything a senator from Arizona cast a bad vote for good reasons a long time ago.
Those watching returns from the 2010 midterms were not surprised when Tea Party conservatives raised Cain, West, and others, but time-worn mental habits die hard. Roger Simon of Politico told Howard Kurtz on Reliable Sources that Rick Perry's reference to Obama's birth certificate was meant to stir the bigots up. "Why would Perry use that in the primaries instead of saving it for the general?" he asked. "It's because being extreme perhaps, and a little bit racist, perhaps, gives you good bona fides in a Republican primary. It shows them that you are on the same side." But Herman Cain was already leading in most polls of Republican primary voters, and when Perry was fading, his supporters went to . . . Cain.
"You think about white Republicans who don't like black folks," said Ed Schultz on his MSNBC program. "It's almost as if this guy [Cain] is trying to warm up to them and tell them what they want to hear." His guest, Georgetown professor Michael Eric Dyson, agreed, and directed our eyes to "post-intentional racism," which would be "racism that people don't intend to have or to act upon," as explained in the book More Beautiful and More Terrible by Imani Perry, described by its publisher as meaning "a new and distinct form of racism that is 'post intentional,' neither drawing on the intentional discrimination of the past nor drawing on biological concepts of race." That's helpful. Then you have the usual run of Democrats saying it's racist when black conservatives tell white conservatives that blacks don't need Democrats "helping" them. As the Wall Street Journal's James Taranto has explained it, "These white Republicans are so racist that they're willing to elect a black man president just to keep black people down."
As the ruminations on race and Republicans get more and more silly, the question arises as to why liberals still bother, and the reasons appear to be three. First, it serves their purpose politically to have large blocs of voters think that the opposite party is biased against them. Second, it serves their emotional need to feel more enlightened and virtuous. Third, it appears that they really believe it. As they see it, race is the center of everyone's universe, and comes in two forms: the malevolent racism practiced by their political enemies and the benevolent race-conscious public policy adopted by themselves. Malevolent racists burn crosses, discriminate, try to make life as hellish as possible for those they see as "the Other." Benevolent racists, on the other hand, are ridden with guilt, torture the rules to ensure racially just outcomes in hiring, promotions, college admissions, etc., cherish diversity (except of opinion), and regard as unjust any system in which the best professions and places do not reflect or exceed the minority representation of the country in general—except in their neighborhoods, and in the places where they work.
What they do not accept is the possibility that there is any position between these two poles, in which people are neither hostile to nor solicitous of others; bear no ill will, yet do no favors; take people as they are on a one-by-one basis, or leave them alone. To the benevolent racist, those who aspire to color-blindness are lying, victims of subconscious or post-intentional racism, or blind to nothing more than their evil, malevolent hearts.
This view was expressed best in 1998 in a speech by Al Gore to a group of black ministers, when in a clunky and maladroit metaphor—this is, after all, Al Gore we're discussing—he said people who claimed to be color blind were in reality hiding in duck blinds, ready to gun down their prey. This view is what for the past 40 years has been keeping them from registering the evidence that since Reagan's election conservatism has been ideology driven, as it, along with most of the rest of the country, has reached the conclusion that race by and large does not and should not count. The last piece of evidence fell into place with a clunk when Herman Cain was accused of assault and harassment—by an assortment of blondes. The most right of the right wing stood up for the black man. Rush Limbaugh called it a media hit job. Laura Ingraham mocked the white "floozies." The "third rail" of race has been touched, and is plumb out of voltage. As John Cleese might say, it is an "ex-issue." It is, and now ought to be, dead.

Could this be true?
Despite the loss of Joakim Soria and Salvador Perez, with Johnny Giavotella being sent back to the minors and Bruce Chen, the opening day starter, being blown up in spring training, are the Royals really a contender in 2012?
The Royals have just one winning season in the last 17, when they went 83-79 in 2003 to finish third in the American League Central, seven games behind division champion Minnesota and have not made a playoff appearance since the team's 1985 World Series Championship.
None of this matters, long time baseball writer, Jeff Saukaitis, likes what the Royals have going for them.
Saukaitis especially likes Alex Gordon and Lorenzo Cain in the outfield, and what's not to like so far in 2012? Cain is batting .431 with a 1.316 OPS, Gordon is hitting .426 with a 1.161 OPS.
In fact, Saukaitis likes the lineup all the way down.
As we could guess, Saukaitis, really questions the pitching staff and the erratic history of Jonathan Sanchez and the short, yet erratic, history of Danny Duffy. He projects Greg Holland to get the first crack at the closer's job, but closely watched by Jonathan Broxton.
The key are the young pitching prospects, who are behind the hitters in arriving to the Major Leagues.

This is my all-time favorite eyeliner and I promise that it works wonders. Super easy to use, great thin line for beginners and very easy to take with you. It's a bit pricey, but it lasts forever and is definitely worth it. Stellar eyeliner:) Go buy it.

SO DISAPPOINTED. I used to love this eyeliner. It was the darkest black, and had a great finish. It lasted all day, and the product itself lasted months. Being a makeup junkie, after I finished my first one, I tried other products only to come back to this after a year. I hate whatever they did to the formula. I might have a bad batch, but this stuff literally sucks. It's not the same black that it used to be, and I find myself having to layer my cateye over and over again with this. Sucks, but oh well.

I am obsessed with this liner! I have seriously had mine for over a year and I wear it every time I use liquid liner and it has not dried out or faded or suffered in quality whatsoever. It is really black, easy to use, and for how long it lasts, it is completely and 100% worth the money.
I am not at all a makeup snob, I actually have a lot more drugstore products then high end but there is just something about this liner that really puts it above the norm. Give it a shot!

Amazing effing liner. Used to be a lover of the Stila Stay all day and now I'm totally converted. Only wish it came in colors too!
Applicator: It's a brush tip rather than a felt tip applicator, which I like better. The best thing about new liner is that the tip is a the perfect amount of stiffness and thus gives you great control and allows you to get a thinner line. Felt tips tend to get soft after a while making them less precise, but this one stays stiff like the day you bought it and gives you excellent control. Way easier to use than an applicator that's gone soft or an actual brush. Great for beginners.
Formula: I think it's a bit runnier than the Stila, but isn't too runny. Drags less on my lids. Very opaque with one coat. The pen doesn't dry out if left in your drawer as long as you cap it.
Lasting power: Amazing. I've worn winged out liner to hour long spin classes and it looks perfect. I've worn this all day and then accidentally fallen asleep in it and it looks perfect 24 hours later. Does not rub off when I rub my eyes (happens to me when I use the Stila).
Finish: Doesn't dry matte like a gel liner if that's what you're into, but not super shiny either.
Removal: Comes off very easily with a make-up wipe or eye make-up remover.
Price: $18, not cheap but fairly standard for a nice eyeliner

It doesn't come off and is waterproof and almost completely smudgeproof (I gave it 4 stars only because it does seem to smudge juuuuust a bit). I did repurchase it after my first one ran out and it's a great eyeliner (but I don't think I'll be repurchasing again because I found a better one, but if I didn't find that one I would stick with this one for SURE).

Loooove this eyeliner. It's very opaque and very easy to control- even newbies should find it pretty easy to use. Because of the tip of the pen's shape, it's not difficult to achieve any look you might want, especially when you want to go bold with high cat-eyes. I took off a few points merely because sometimes, the tip of the pen can fray and cause it to become harder to control the shape of the lines you draw. Also, I'm a fan of cheap-and-cheerful makeup (I mostly spend money on foundation, while the rest of my makeup can be less impressive), but if you want to splurge and you want a product that WORKS, this is an AWESOME eyeliner. It definitely is worth the money.
The pen doesn't last quite as long as I'd like it to, but it's worth restocking if you can afford it. The extra bucks go a LONG way in terms of quality. Overall, I'm very impressed with it and it has yet to fail me!

This has been my go-to eyeliner for over a year and it's pretty amazing. I take spin classes regularly, and I mean INTENSE spin classes-- sweat pouring and clothes soaked. This eyeliner doesn't budge if I go to class without wiping it off, which is a miracle. I will say that it only goes on opaque if I prime my lids and apply some eyeshadow first-- by itself it's a little watery on my oily lids. The applicator is really precise and easy to get a strong line the first time (with primed lids that is.) My only wish is to find an eyeliner with this level of staying power that goes on without priming and everything first, but I think that's impossible for me at this point.

Prepare Braciola and Raisin Meatballs; set aside.
If using Italian sausages, prick each several times with a fork; then cut each in half (or into 3-inch lengths).
Then place in a 6-quart or larger pan over medium heat; brown on all sides and remove from pan.
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the oil, if needed; then add Braciola and brown well on all sides.
Remove from pan.
Then brown meatballs, about half at a time, adding more oil as needed; remove meatballs from pan as they are browned.
Add onion and garlic to pan; cook, stirring often, until soft.
Stir in tomato sauce, 3 cups water, tomato paste, bay leaves, and chiles.
Return Braciola to pan.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
Then add meatballs, sausages, and basil; continue to simmer, covered, until Braciola is tender when pierced (about 1 more hour).
Season sauce to taste with salt.
When meat is almost tender, in an 8- to 10-quart pan, cook fusilli in 5 quarts boiling water just until tender to bite (12 to 15 minutes); or cook according to package directions.
Drain well.
Lift meats from sauce.
Remove cord from Braciola and cut meat crosswise into thick slices.
Arrange slices in center of a warm large, deep platter.
Surround with fusilli.
Arrange sausages and meatballs over fusilli.
Pour about a fourth of the sauce over meats and fusilli.
Garnish with a bouquet of herb sprigs, if desired.

DescriptionA security guard was accompanying a group of space colonists on their trip on the huge space ship, the Marathon. Suddenly, aliens of the Pfhor race attack the ship and massacre the colonists. What's worse, the aliens damage the omniscient super-computers on Marathon. One of them is heavily damaged, and the other becomes insane. Caught in the midst of the battle between the two AIs, trying to stay alive in the onslaught of the Pfhor, the protagonist begins a desperate fight for survival.
Marathon is a first-person shooter, notable for pioneering the "free look" feature (moving the camera in all directions with the mouse). There is a variety of weapons that serve the hero in battle. Different types of enemies (organic or mechanical) take different amounts of damage depending on the weapon. The protagonist is also able to fire from two weapons (such as pistols) simultaneously. Shooting enemies is not the only thing to do in the game; it is possible to communicate with the damaged AIs of the ship by looking at messages they send you via computers. The story is unraveled primarily through those messages.

Alderwoman Coggs seeks word on status of strip search/cavity search investigationsAugust 23, 2012 // Comments Off
Alderwoman Milele A. Coggs sent letters today to Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn and Fire and Police Commission Executive Director Mike Tobin (both attached) requesting status updates on the investigations into alleged illegal strip searches and body cavity searches by MPD personnel.
Alderwoman Coggs said public interest in the investigations has not waned, and residents are looking for information. "It has been months since the investigations were launched, and nothing has been shared with members of the Common Council or the public," she said.
"I think it behooves Chief Flynn and Mr. Tobin to expedite the release of some information, so the public is not left thinking that nothing is happening," Alderwoman Coggs said.
Soon after the troubling allegations surfaced earlier this year, a secret John Doe investigation was launched by Milwaukee County prosecutors. In April, the Council approved a resolution sponsored by Alderwoman Coggs requesting the Police Department and the Fire and Police Commission to report the findings of the investigations, highlighting the lessons learned from those investigations, within 30 days of conclusion of the investigations.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to wireless local loop and cellular communication systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to a wireless communication system which dynamically adjusts the power of signals transmitted over reference channels from a base station to minimize power spillover to adjacent communication cells.
2. Description of the Related Art
Wireless communication systems have rapidly become a viable alternative to wired systems due to their inherent advantages. Wireless systems enable subscribers to freely move throughout the operating range of a service provider and even into the territory of other service providers while using the same communication hardware. Wireless communication systems are also utilized for applications where wired systems are impractical, and have become an economically viable alternative to replacing aging telephone lines and outdated telephone equipment.
One of the drawbacks with wireless communication systems is the limited amount of available RF bandwidth. There is a constant desire to improve the efficiency of these systems in order to increase system capacity and meet the rising consumer demand. A factor that degrades the overall capacity of wireless communication systems is signal power spillover between adjacent cells or base stations. This occurs when the power of signals transmitted by a base station in a particular cell exceeds the boundary of that cell, otherwise known as the operating range. The spillover becomes interference to adjacent cells and degrades the efficiency of the system. Accordingly, minimizing spillover is one of the most important issues in wireless communications system design.
Forward power control (FPC) is used to minimize spillover by adjusting the power level of signals transmitted from the base station to subscriber units on assigned channels. The FPC operates in a closed loop wherein each subscriber unit continuously measures its received signal-to-noise ratio and transmits an indication back to the base station of whether the base station should increase or decrease the transmit power to that subscriber unit. The closed loop algorithm assists in maintaining the transmit power level from the base station at a minimum acceptable level, thereby minimizing spillover to adjacent cells.
FPC, however, cannot adjust the power level for reference channels such as the pilot signal, broadcast channel or paging channel. Since there is no closed loop algorithm that operates on these channels, the reference channel transmit power level for the worst case scenario is typically used. The power level is generally more than what is required for most subscriber units, resulting in spillover to adjacent cells.
There have been prior attempts to overcome the problem of spillover. U.S. Pat. No. 5,267,262 (Wheatley, III) discloses a power control system for use with a CDMA cellular mobile telephone system including a network of base stations, each of which communicates with a plurality of subscriber units. Each base station transmits a pilot signal which is used by the mobile units to estimate the propagation loss of the pilot signals. The combined power of all base station transmitted signals as received at a mobile unit is also measured. This power level sum is used by the mobile units to reduce transmitter power to the minimum power required. Each base station measures the strength of a signal received from a mobile unit and compares this signal strength level to a desired signal strength level for that particular mobile unit. A power adjustment command is generated and sent to the mobile unit which adjusts its power accordingly. The transmit power of the base station may also be increased or decreased depending upon the average noise conditions of the cell. For example, a base station may be positioned in an unusually noisy location and may be permitted to use a higher than normal transmit power level. However, this is not performed dynamically, nor is the power correction based upon the total transmit power of the base station.
Accordingly, there exists a need for an effective method for controlling the power level of reference channels transmitted from a base station.
A base station for use in a wireless spread spectrum communication system produces at least one channel signal and a reference signal. The at least one channel and reference signals are combined. The combined signal is transmitted. A desired transmit power level of the reference signal is determined using a transmit power level of the combined signal. A transmit power level of the reference signal is adjusted using the desired transmit power level.
The preferred embodiment will be described with reference to the drawing figures wherein like numerals represent like elements throughout.
A communication network 10 embodying the present invention is shown in
The base station controller 20 performs several functions. Primarily, the base station controller 20 provides all of the operation, administration and maintenance (OA&M) signaling associated with establishing and maintaining the communications between the subscriber units 16, the base stations 14 and the base station controller 20. The base station controller 20 also provides an interface between the wireless communication system 10 and the PSTN 22. This interface includes multiplexing and demultiplexing of the communication signals that enter and exit the system 10 via the base station controller 20. Although the wireless communication system 10 is shown as employing antennas to transmit RF signals, one skilled in the art should recognize that communications may be accomplished via microwave or satellite uplinks. Additionally, the functions of a base station 14 may be combined with the base station controller 20 to form a master base station. The physical location of the base station controller 20 is not central to the present invention.

As will be described in detail hereinafter, the GCPC processor 108 analyzes the total transmit power of all channels 112, 114 and calculates the desired transmit power level of the reference channels 114. Preferably, the power level is measured prior to outputting the RF signal to the antenna 104. Alternatively, the power level may be: 1) measured at the combiner 106; 2) sampled at each assigned and reference channel 112, 114 and summed; or 3) received as an RF signal just after transmission using a separate antenna (not shown) co-located with the base station antenna 104. Those skilled in the art should realize that any method for monitoring the total transmit power at the base station 100 may be employed without significantly departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Dynamic control of the power of reference channels 114 is performed by using several assumptions in analyzing the total transmit power. It is assumed that the FPC for the assigned channels 112 is working ideally and the power transmitted to each subscriber unit 16 is adjusted so that all subscriber units 16 receive their signals at a particular signal-to-noise ratio. Since changing the transmit power to a particular subscriber unit 16 affects the signal-to-noise ratio seen at other subscriber units 16, the analysis of transmit power by FPC for each assigned channel 112 is preferably performed continuously. Alternatively, the analysis may be performed on a periodic basis, as appropriate, to adjust the power for each assigned channel 112.
Prior to the analysis of the total transmit power, several factors must be defined: γ denotes the signal-to-noise ratio required at a subscriber unit 16, No the white noise power density, W the transmit bandwidth and N the processing gain. The propagation loss is such that if the transmit power is P, the power level Pr of a subscriber unit 16 located at distance r is:
When the FPC is operating on assigned channels 112, the power transmitted Pi from the base station 100 to a subscriber 16 that is located at a distance ri from the base station 100 is:
Since a reference channel 114 must be received adequately throughout the operating range 30 of the cell 11, the transmit power requirement PG for a reference channel 114 becomes:
For example, for the aforementioned free space propagation model, the propagation loss is:
Substituting R for the operating range 30 of the cell 11:
Therefore, using the free space propagation model, the optimum reference channel transmit power is given by a constant term, which is proportional to the square of the cell radius, plus a variable term which is a function of the total transmit power PT.
The significance of the present invention can be further illustrated by the following numerical example. Suppose system parameters are given as:
Therefore, when the total power PT transmitted from the base station is 100 watts, the reference channel transmit power PG should be:
Referring to
The required transmit power for a reference channel 114 can change by as much as 12 dB depending on the traffic load of the cell 11. As a result, in an application where the reference channel power level PG is set such that it is sufficient under the highest traffic load expected (i.e., worst case), the reference channel transmit power level PG will exceed the required power level necessary most of the time. The method of the present invention controls the reference channel transmit power level PG optimally by reducing it when the traffic load is light and increasing it when the traffic load is high such that reliable communications are maintained at all times. In this manner, the spillover to neighboring cells is kept at minimum possible levels and overall system capacity is increased.
Although the invention has been described in part by making detailed reference to certain specific embodiments, such details is intended to be instructive rather than restrictive. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that many variations may be made in the structure and mode of operation without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as disclosed in the teachings herein.

Customer Reviews of Mint Green Multifunctional Wallet Purse Case for iPhone 5 4S Samsung Galaxy S4 SIV S3 HTC M7 iPod
Nice bags7/8/2014
They are really nice and my daughters love them.
Gift was good
Good utility wallet. Samsung S4 will not fit with12/16/2013
Samsung S4 will not fit easily with a slim cover on it. Overall the product is good for the price point.
Cute, but Cheap!11/25/2013
The case comes with the removable strap detached. I clipped the strap onto the clutch and the metal ring broke before I even had a chance to use it. The clutch itself is cute and it does a good job of protecting the phone. You can use the clutch in addition to a thin case, but a larger case like an OtterBox would be too big to use both. The case/clutch also smells like rubber...like a nasty smell...hopefully it'll go away.
Good One9/30/2013
Good One
Cute Little Purse9/30/2013
Good to carry cash and credit cards.
Nice little purse9/30/2013
The phone is stored completely inside - this is both a good thing and a bad thing, but worth knowing before you buy it.
Like what I see.9/23/2013
I like the product as it was just as expected.
Great googly!9/6/2013
Love this wallet!
Great and easy way to keep my phone n money
Very cute!8/5/2013
As I suspected from the image, this is more blue (robin's egg blue) than green, but I'm completely OK with that. It's very cute and very easy to strap to my wrist. My only complaint is that the clasp from the wrist strap that connects to the purse part is pretty cheap and could break pretty easily. I don't think I would leave this ONLY strapped to my wrist, but make sure I hold on to it as well.

Warren Barker (born in Oakland, California on April 16, 1923; died in Greenville, South Carolina August 3, 2006) was an American composer known for work in film, radio, and television. He also worked in Las Vegas, Nevada clubs. He was educated at the University of California, Los Angeles.[1]
He is best known for composing the incidental music for the hit 1960s TV series Bewitched; some of his cues of which were used on other Screen Gems shows. He also wrote a proposed theme for the second season of Lost In Space in 1966, but it was rejected. He composed and arranged numerous pieces for concert bands, which are frequently performed today by school and community symphony bands. Contrary to popular belief he did not write the theme to The Flying Nun; this tune was composed by Dominic Frontiere.

These are trusted reviews from guests who have actually stayed here. We hope you find them helpful.
Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- " A bit far from anything of interest. A place for young party goers, and screaming drunks throughout the night. Awkward dormitory bed (2 complete strangers essentially sharing a double bed). Was very clean however and close to discount super markets but has small kitchen facility for the amount of guests. "
- 22 May 2015 Anonymous USA
- " Not the best location, but very clean and had a lot more amenities than most hostels have. "
- 01 May 2015 Emily USA
- " The hostel is a great choice for someone traveling to Salzburg on a budget. The room was very clean, and there were several drawers for belongings that could be locked, if you brought a lock with you. Everyone I met was very friendly and eager to socialize. The breakfast was a bit overpriced for what was offered but was very convenient. "
- 10 Apr 2015 Anonymous USA
- " I loved this hostel! It felt like staying in a hotel but with roommates. Each bed has a personal light and outlet. Each room has a small room for a toilet with sink and soap (!! "
- 27 Mar 2015 Helen USA
- " Meininger is listed on hostel.com because of its prices, but it definitely a hotel. The atmosphere at a hostel is a big part of the experience for me and this place did not facilitate a community feeling at all. Their facilities were nice but you were charged for everything, pool, wii, ect. And we weren't told about the kitchen when we checked in. The staff was nice but as an overall establishment it did not feel welcoming. I would not recommend it. (Plus its really far from the old town) "
- 27 Feb 2015 Gerard USA
- " overall good experience "
- 25 Dec 2014 Bharath kumar India
- " staff are really good, love to stay here, environment is clean, will make you feel comfortable "
- 02 Dec 2014 Tsun Wing Herbert Hong Kong
- " The location was really far from the Main train station, you can chose another MEININGER which is next to the train station. The advantage of this location was we could catch bus for nearby lakes from this place, also the Hostel has its own SoundOfMusic pickup so that will help if you have just 2days here. The Breakfast was really good and a wonderful value for money. "

- " Good bar. Good washing facilities. Good rooms, but a little noisey in the morning on the road side. "

Togo-based ASKY Airlines plans to add Beirut and Johannesburg to its network by early 2015. "We have all the bilateral issues cleared with Johannesburg, and we expect to get that secured for Beirut. So either late this year or early next year you will see ASKY in these two cities," chief executive Yissehak Zewoldi tells Flightglobal. The two points would mark ASKY's first expansion beyond West Africa, where it serves 22 regional destinations from Lome, Togo. Zewoldi says demand for Beirut flights is high because of the "strong Lebanese community in central and West Africa". He suggests that the Lebanese diaspora in Brazil will also benefit from affiliate Ethiopian Airlines' fifth-freedom route to Sao Paolo over Lome. Johannesburg is meanwhile a "natural market" due to the high volume of West African labour traffic routed to South Africa. ASKY's existing passenger fleet comprises three Boeing 737-700s, four Bombardier Dash 8 Q400s and an Ethiopian Airlines 737 "which we use during its down-time". The airline plans to acquire four aircraft over the coming five years, including one next year. "We will continue using the current types – Boeing 737 series and Bombardier Q400," Zewoldi says. "The 737-800 is an ideal aircraft for these two points [Beirut and Johannesburg]." ASKY is also evaluating new routes to Nouakchott in Mauritania, Luanda in Angola and Equatorial Guinea.

Dammit Rob! You're the friggin Captain Planet to my Looten Plunder!
I'm not opposed to specifics (my kids have the Wii, Xbox360, and a few Ipads/Ipods that they get to spend time on but do not own) being granted towards them earning their rights as an adult. However, I am opposed to them posting images of themselves doing stupid shit on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or what the fuck ever. These kids don't understand that what you put out there about how you are feeling/acting right now can't come back to haunt you later in life. I have a friend who lost a lot due to his facebook page and now has "supervised visitation" with his boy thanks to a psycho-ex who was mad about seeing him with another girl online. The fucked up part? It wasn't even on HIS page. It was on a buddy of his pics, but was admissible in the court of law.

The List: May's Objects of Desire
I visited Burris's chic work/live studio in New York's Lower East Side. The bubbly blonde, who is a Parsons graduate, greeted me with home-brewed tea and showed me around her stylish place — filled with gorgeous vintage hat stands and enough custom toppers to try on for hours...
Burris's love for millinery began when she was abroad in Paris and discovered the old world technique. Her one-of-a-kind designs are sought-after by celebrities (and editors) alike. Burris and I had spoken on the phone about some ideas I had for my Kentucky Derby debut and she surprised me with a table of fun ideas and sketches.
