1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a system and method of interference cancellation for use with respect to a mobile station having a smart antenna and a Rake demodulator.
2. Description of Related Art
The capacity of wireless Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems in the forward link direction (i.e., from a base station to a mobile receiver) is limited by both intra-cell and inter-cell cochannel interferences. In particular, when the mobile unit is close to a cell boundary, the desired signal is disturbed by relatively strong interference from neighboring base stations. Antenna arrays have been previously suggested for base stations of CDMA systems to improve the capacity in the reverse link through space diversity and interference cancellation. Less attention is given to the forward link due to the reliance on orthogonal spreading codes to handle the cochannel interference. The performance in the forward link is limited, however, by multipath fading and inter-cell interference.
In IS-95 CDMA, signals from the same base station and same path are separated by a set of orthogonal codes (Walsh codes), which eliminate the interference of other users' signals in the same signal path from the home cell (see, for example, J. D. Gibson, The Mobile Communications Handbook, Boca Raton, Fla., CRC Press, Inc., 1996 and T. S. Rappaport, Wireless Communications: Principles and Practice, Upper Saddle River, N.J., Prentice Hall PTR, 1996). The other signal paths from a home base station, however, create self-interference. In addition, signals from different base stations are identified by a special short pseudo random code. Such base stations share the same short code, but with different shifts, and hence due to nonzero autocorrelation there exists inter-cell interference. The worst case occurs at the cell boundary point, where the desired signal is the weakest and the inter-cell interference is the strongest.
Similar to its use in the reverse link, an antenna array at the mobile station can be used as a diversity combiner to maximize the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR). Due to packaging and cost considerations, however, such an array needs to be small. A dual antenna mobile station for wireless communications has been suggested and its implementation was studied in a paper by M. Lefevre, M. A. Jensen, and M. D. Rice, ("Indoor measurements of handset dual-antenna diversity performance," in IEEE 47th Vehicular Technology Conference Proceedings, (Phoenix, Ariz.), pp. 1763-1767, May 1997).
The preferred embodiment of the present invention relates to a receiver with a two-element array, referred to as a smart antenna receiver. Adaptive arrays are employed to utilize the known direction of arrival and signal waveform structure of desired signal for interference cancellation in point-to-point communication (see, for example, S. P. Applebaum and D. J. Chapman, "Adaptive Arrays With Main Beam Constrains," IEEE Trans. Antennas Propagat., vol. 24, pp. 650-662, September 1976 and J. R. T. Compton, "An Adaptive Array in Speed-Spectrum Communications," Proc. IEEE, vol. 66, pp. 289-298, March 1978), wherein by using the pointing vector, the desired signal is co-phased and removed, prior to the application of weighting for interference cancellation. To reduce sensitivity to pointing vector error in a point-to-point communication application, a self-correcting loop was suggested to minimize the error by Y. Bar-Ness and F. Haber ("Self-Correcting Interference Cancelling Processor for Point-to-Point Communications," in Proceedings of the 24th Midwest Symposium on Circuit and Systems, (Albuquerque, N.Mex.), pp. 663-665, June 1981).
In multi-user wireless and other similar communication applications, such a pointing vector is not well defined, and hence cannot be used easily or accurately used by a mobile receiver for interference cancellation.
Briefly described the invention comprises a novel receiver structure for a mobile station that simultaneously estimates the desired signal channel vector and adaptively controls the weights, thereby increasing the SINR at array output. Adaptive control continually corrects the channel vector making it a more meaningful parameter than the prior art's pointing vector in modeling the received signal at mobile stations of cellular CDMA systems.
In a typical IS-95 CDMA mobile station receiver, for example, multiple paths are weighted and combined by a Rake demodulator to combat small-scale fading (ref. Gibson supra and A. J. Viterbi, CDMA Principles of Spread Spectrum Communication, Reading, Mass.: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, 1995). In the current invention, the use of a small antenna structure along with Rake demodulator provides higher SINR at the output for symbol detection, and improves capacity in the forward link.
These and other features of the invention will be more fully understood by reference to the following drawings.
FIG. 1 illustrates the smart antenna structure for BPSK demodulation at a mobile station according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates a Rake demodulator, according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, wherein the demodulator has L parallel Rake fingers for the jth user.
FIG. 3 is a graph of the SINR output versus iteration number for three different antenna systems.
FIG. 4 is a graph of the probability of bit error versus the number of users per cell for three different antenna systems.
During the course of this description, like numbers will be used to identify like elements according to different figures which illustrate the invention.
This invention (10) relates to the receiver structure and the signal model used in the analysis of the proposed receiver scheme. The disclosed smart antenna receiver system of the present invention results in a dramatic capacity improvement over the receivers of the above disclosed prior art.
Several assumptions are made in the development of the signal model. According to the preferred embodiment, the receiver consists of a small antenna array with two elements at a mobile station of a wireless cellular CDMA system. The disclosure assumes that there are one home base station (n=0) and N neighboring base stations, wherein each n (n=0, 1, . . . , N) base station serves Jn active users. The signal from each base station is composed of Jn users' information waveforms and one pilot waveform. There are L resolvable paths for each signal. The signal from different paths and different base stations are assumed to independently undergo Rayleigh fading, while the Jn +1 waveforms that arrive from the same path and the same base station at a given mobile receiver propagate over the same fading characteristics. According to the above model, the complex envelope of received signal at two antenna elements of the mobile station is given by a 2�1 vector r(t): ##EQU1## where cnl (t) represents complex channel vectors, dnj (t) are transmitted information bits, Pnu and Pnp are, respectively, the received powers of the users' signals and pilot signals, unj (t) and unp (t) are the spreading codes, v(t) is AWGN, τn1 are delays, and n=o refers to desired home base station. The following assumptions are adopted in the analysis:
communication performance is examined for user 1 in cell 0, for which the channel vector can be written as: col =[co/1,co/2 ].sup.τ (l= 1, . . . , L), where the superscript denotes transpose.
slow fading is assumed for signals from all paths and all base stations.
FIG. 1 shows the dual antenna receiver at mobile station. After down conversation (12) and matched filtering (14) (matched to the transmitting pulse), the signals received at two antennas are demodulated by L parallel demodulators (16) (Rake fingers). The output of L Rake fingers are combined for a symbol detection. In FIG. 2, all the parameters which are referred to are used in ith Rake finger, hence the path index is ignored. When the weight s1 =co/1 /co/2, the desired signal is co-phase combined at yb, and blocked at z. That is, the z signal output of antenna hybrid (18) consists of only interference as no desired signal is present. In this case, the weight s2 is used to estimate interference, which is subtracted from yb, and higher SINR can be obtained at the array output y and demodulated output bl (j). The weight s2 can be updated, for example, by Direct Matrix Inversion (DMI) (20).
When s1 ≠co/1 /co/2, the channel vector estimate is erroneous, and s1 will not result in a null difference between the desired signals received at points x and r1. Consequently, the residual desired signal contributions at z will be interpreted by the array as interference, and hence cancelled. This results in performance degradation of the canceller (reference J. R. T. Compton, "Pointing accuracy and dynamic range in steered beam array," IEEE Trans. Aerospace and Electronic Systems., vol. 16, pp. 280-287, May 1980). To overcome this effect, the preferred embodiment of the present invention uses the spreading code of the desired signal. As shown in the preferred embodiment depicting in FIG. 2, the processor at the mobile station, using the spreading code parameters and the correlator 22, despreads the array output y(t) (marked y) to yield yc. This resulting signal, yc, is then accumulated over one symbol interval and that result, go is then respread by correlator 24 using the same respreading code to get a reference signal g. When the kth symbol of desired signal is received, the control signal hl (k) is generated by accumulating the multiplication of g(k, t) and z(k, t) over one symbol interval, and h2 (k) is obtained similarly from the reference signal g(k, t) and the received signal at the first element. These two control signals can be expressed as ##EQU2## where Np is the number of code chips per bit, and the superscript "*" denotes complex conjugate operation. In FIG. 2 items labeled 25 denote accumulators. The weight s1 is then updated by complex weight controller (34) as: ##EQU3##
It can be shown that when a pure reference signal is available at g, this algorithm gives an estimate of the channel vector error between two antenna elements and the weight s1 =co/1 /co/2. Since y has a higher SINR than the array input, the matched filter (30) (matched to the channel attenuation and phase delay) estimated from y is more accurate than the one estimated from the array input r1. The array output y is then despread using correlator 32 using the pilot and jth users' sequences to generate the Ith Rake finger's output bl (j).
Based on these assumptions and analysis, simulation results were obtained in light of the following additional assumptions. The signal employed the same short code as in IS-95. It was also assumed that 20% of total transmitted power from each base station is used for pilot. Three paths for each signal are present, the relative delay between paths from same base stations is two chips. In each of the Rake fingers, there are one desired signal path from home base station, two interfering paths from home base station (self-interference), and three interfering paths from each of neighboring base stations. For comparison, three receiver models were examined:
1. One antenna followed by Rake demodulator
2. Two antennas with maximum ratio combining (MRS) followed by Rake demodulator
3. The smart antenna of the preferred embodiment, followed by the Rake demodulator
In the data depicted in FIG. 3, 20 active users per cell is assumed, with the curves obtained from 1000 Monte Carlo runs. For receivers 1 and 2, the curves are also the average output SINR over bits 1 to 20. For a receiver with smart antenna, from bit 1 to 5, the initial beam steering weight s1 =1, the output SINR is averaged from bit 1 to 5. Starting from bit 6, the smart antenna uses the algorithm of the preferred embodiment to control the weight s1, and the output SINR shown in FIG. 3 is averaged over bits 6 to 20. The curves show that after the weight (s1) correction starts, the receiver with the smart antenna of the preferred embodiment achieved 1.5 dB and 3.5 dB higher output SINR compared to receivers 1 and 2, respectively.
To see the capacity improvement due to proposed receiver of the preferred embodiment, FIG. 4 gives the curves of probability of bit error, Pe, versus number of users per cell. For performance requirement Pe =10-3, the system capacity is 24, 37 and 50 users per cell for receivers 1, 2 and 3, respectively. With the smart antenna of the preferred embodiment at the mobile station, the system capacity increases 108% and 35% compared to receivers 1 and 2, respectively. The proposed receiver structure of the preferred embodiment, therefore, can provide improved capacity over conventional receivers 1 and 2.
While the invention has been described with reference to the above preferred embodiment thereof, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that various modifications can be made to the structure and function of the individual parts of the system without departing from the sprit and scope of the invention as a whole. In particular, the receiver model can be easily extended to the case of QPSK demodulation (rather than the BPSK demodulation depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2) as well as to the cases of Time Domain Multiple Access (TDMA) and Frequency Domain Multiple Access (FDMA) and to usage of polarization instead of spatial information in implementing the interference cancellation.

IDF, police preparing to raid Gush Katif hotel housing extremists
Settler leadership planning mass 'engagement march' on areas slated to be sealed off before pullout.
The security establishment has decided to raid the Maoz Yam Hotel in the Gaza Strip settlement of Neveh Dekalim soon, rather than wait until the disengagement plan is under way.
Leaders of the approximately 30 families and singles who have moved to the hotel to express their opposition to the pullout said Thursday they have begun preparing for an anticipated nighttime raid, after having been informed that several police units met to discuss the raid on Thursday. Due to rumors of an impending raid, dozens of settlers arrived at the hotel last night to bolster the presence of those already living there.
But police appeared Thursday night to have temporarily frozen any immediate plans for the raid after the information was leaked to settlers and to the press. Security sources said police and the Israel Defense Forces will wait for a suitable opportunity to carry out the raid in the near future.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz have met with Defense and Justice Ministry officials in the last few weeks to discuss how to deal with the residents of the hotel, which has come to be considered an extremist outpost.
At first, many officials advised against raiding the hotel at this stage, preferring to leave it alone until all the other Gaza settlements have been evacuated. They argued that it was better for most of the extremists to congregate at one venue, thereby making it harder for them to provoke radical activity in other areas.
But developments in the past week have changed that analysis. Several hotel residents assaulted and opened fire on a group of Palestinians from the neighboring Muasi area, wounding four of them, on Saturday. The security establishment also has learned that the hotel residents are collecting weapons there, with most of the men armed, and have come up with several plans to oppose the disengagement.
The official reason for raiding the hotel before the disengagement is that several of the residents suspected of Saturday's attack are wanted for questioning.
The residents' opposition to the raid is expected to lead to a number of arrests and closure of the site.
Many people who live in the Gush Katif settlement bloc have reservations about the hotel, saying its residents are making all settlers appear radical and violent.
80,000 to join 'engagement march'Some 80,000 disengagement opponents have agreed to join a Yesha Council campaign to attempt reaching those settlements slated for evacuation after the army closes them off to non-residents, according to the settlement council.
The council expects even more anti-pullout activists to participate in the campaign, which is set to start at the beginning of next month. That is when the northern West Bank settlements slated for evacuation will be closed off, the council said. Settlement leaders expect non-residents to be barred from the Gush Katif settlement bloc in the middle of next month, about a month before the pullout is scheduled to begin.
The Yesha campaign, which represents the peak of grassroots anti-pullout activism, may begin before the settlements are closed off if the IDF delays the closure until right before the evacuation.
The Yesha Council is asking pullout opponents to reach the settlements by car or foot. Campaign organizers said they expect police and IDF forces to stop them before they get near the settlements. The marchers will be instructed to create a blockade wherever they are stopped, and then to continue trying to reach the settlements, even at the risk of being arrested.
The "engagement march for our brave brethren," as the campaign is called, is slated to take place over at least 10 days. The Yesha Council is calling on disengagement opponents "to march in groups, with leaders responsible for each group, to make sure there is no violence."
The campaign is based on the assumption that only widespread pressure from the people can lead Knesset members to vote in favor of a bill calling for the pullout to be postponed until next year. The bill, which was submitted by MK Zevulun Orlev (National Religious Party), is set to come up for a vote next month.
The Yesha Council has split up responsibility for the campaign among four regional headquarters - north, south, center and Jerusalem and 30 "activity zones." Zviki Bar-Hai, a top figure in the Yesha Council and head of the Southern Hebron Hills Regional Council is leading the campaign. Bar-Hai, who also led the house-to-house campaign to defeat the disengagement plan in last year's Likud referendum and had served as assistant to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, will be in charge of all the regional headquarters as well as operations and human resources.

Originally written on Fox Sports Midwest | Last updated 4/29/13
(AP) -- The Cincinnati Reds didn't face Adam Wainwright in their visit to Busch Stadium earlier this month. They won't be so fortunate this time around. Wainwright will try to help the St. Louis Cardinals avoid a season-high third consecutive loss on Monday night when these NL Central foes renew their rivalry. Trying to build off a season-opening 4-2 homestand, the Reds (14-12) dropped two of three at Busch from April 8-10. St. Louis took the final two games of that series by a combined 15-1 score, but its home opener was spoiled with the bullpen giving up nine ninth-inning runs in a 13-4 defeat. With closer Jason Motte possibly facing reconstructive elbow surgery, St. Louis' bullpen continues to falter. That group has a major league-worst 5.94 ERA after surrendering 11 runs in a pair of losses over the weekend to Pittsburgh, which moved one-half game in front of the Cardinals (14-10) for the Central lead.

U. S. Rep. Richard Hanna won the Republican primary election for the 22nd Congressional District Tuesday night and will now face two challengers in the general election in November, including the opponent he just defeated.
U. S. Rep. Richard Hanna won the Republican primary election for the 22nd Congressional District Tuesday night and will now face two challengers in the general election in November, including the opponent he just defeated.
Hanna said he was grateful for those who voted in the primary and thanked those who supported his campaign.
"A great people, state and country solve their problems in their own time; our time is now," Hanna said in a statement. "I look forward to continuing our important work in Washington for the people of upstate New York. We have many needs and there is nothing more important than rebuilding our communities and once again making upstate New York a place where people can thrive."
Official results from the New York State Board of Elections will not be available until July, when the counties will have verified their own results. The Associated Press called the race for Hanna at about 10 p.m. Tuesday. The New York Times reported that Hanna received 9,806 votes to Michael Kicinski, Sr.'s 4,069, or about 71 percent of the votes.
Unofficial results according to the Herkimer County Board of Elections website showed Hanna had 1,298 votes over Kicinski with 229 votes.
Hanna, 61, has touted his constituent services throughout the campaign and said he's been an independent-minded legislator in Washington, D.C. Kicinski, 52, has attacked Hanna's conservative credentials, said he would seek to severely curtail federal spending and support amendments prohibiting abortion and gay marriage if elected.
Kicinski announced on Wednesday he plans to run on an Independent ticket in November because he feels Hanna's record does not reflect a true Republican/Conservative platform.
"The people deserve a representative that stands for the values of the Republican Party," said Kicinski in a news release. "Therefore, we have decided to run on a third party Tea Party Patriots line. We will be on the ballot in November."
Also opposing Hanna for the new reconstituted 22nd Congressional District is Daniel Lamb, of Dryden, a longtime top aide for retiring U. S. Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-Hurley.
"Tonight's primary election result demonstrates that even Republican voters are divided over [Hanna], and in November the rest of us will have a chance to make our voices heard," said Lamb, 48, in a statement issued Tuesday night.
"This campaign isn't about Republican versus Democrat," Lamb continued. "It's about who stands up for middle-class New Yorkers, and who doesn't."
Hanna currently represents the 24th Congressional district. Due to state redistricting, Hanna will represent the 22nd district if re-elected. This district will encompass parts of Herkimer, Oneida, Madison, Broome, Chenango, Oswego, Cortland and Tioga counties.
This redistricting splits Herkimer County between the 21st and 22nd Congressional Districts. The 21st district covers parts of Herkimer and Saratoga counties, and Hamilton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Jefferson, Lewis, St. Lawrence, Warren and Washington counties
Page 2 of 2 - Matthew Doheny, of Watertown, won the Republican primary for the 21st Congressional District, against Kellie Greene, of Sackets Harbor, by a vote of 8,577 to 3,396. In Herkimer County, Doheny received 268 votes and Greene received 75 votes.
Both Hanna and Doheny had received endorsements from the Herkimer County Republican Committee.

When did you stop laying on your back????

When you lie on your back, your uterus presses on the vein that returns blood from your lower body to your heart. Lying on your back for an extended period of time could interfere with the flow of blood and nutrients to the placenta and your developing baby.
"""Once you get to the third trimester of pregnancy, I don't recommend lying flat on your back for any prolonged period of time. When you lie on your back, the increased weight of your uterus presses on the major vein that returns blood from your legs to your heart.
Of course, when you're sleeping you can't control what position you're in. If you wake up on your back, it's probably because your body was telling you to shift your position.
I recommend sleeping at an angle, tilted slightly to one side or the other. You can put a pillow between your legs to make that position more comfortable.""" from bbc
That is what I have heard also or maybe I read it in the What to expect book, either way I have not been able to for about 3 weeks (im 14 now). It just feel so odd if I do

You're supposed to stop around 20 weeks, so that's when I tried to, but I always woke up on my back, because it's just more comfortable to me when I'm pregnant.

I'm 14 weeks and I've noticed the last couple mornings that I wake up with low back pain. I'm usually a stomach sleeper, but that's gotten uncomfortable so I tried sleeping on my side but would always wake up on my back. It's premature in terms of the rules about laying on your back, but I went and got myself a Snoogle this morning...tested it out with an afternoon nap and it was awesome in keeping me in position (left side sleeping). It's the most amazing thing!

General Info
NOTE: The recent videos I"ve posted in my "favourites" are of Captain Lycra sitting on my masked-face.
FACESITTING: I wish XTube had a category in the main videos for "facesitting" or even "rimming". God knows there are plenty of us interested in this. For those interested, I am neither the sitter or sittee in my profile photo (but it is a photo that I really love and shows several of the things that I love: Older men, chubby, clean shaven men in suits being dominant and using my face to sit on (that would do nicely)
RIMMING: I love older men and am obsessed with rimming... spreading a man"s cheeks and nestling my face between them sniffing... licking, kissing. Also like sucking... A few people have told me that what I do is "deep rimming". I didn"t realise this until just recently. I just do it the way I enjoy doing it (take my time, slow and easy, relaxing the hole, lots of saliva, licking, sucking, probing, no rush...) I like a man whose hole is clean, perhaps cleaned thoroughly during the morning shower but then musky after a long day, still clean but musky and sweaty, that would be nice. I"m afraid I do not like dirty holes or scat.
SNIFFING: Before rimming and licking all the nice ass scent away, it is nice to press my nostrils up against a man"s hole and inhale his musky/sweet aroma. Again, I like a man who is clean but don"t mind if he is a bit sweaty (while still clean). I like a man to sit on my face with his trousers on and have me inhale, perhaps even a few gentle farts. Then with underpants and finally pressing my nostril up against the musky moist hole and inhaling... Most men rush through this but it would be nice to find someone who will let me inhale for a long time before using my tongue. Would be interested in hearing from others who share an interest in sniffing men"s asses.
DEEPTHROAT AND BEING FACE-FUCKED: I love sucking cock. Have a preference for cut and thick but this is only a preference and what is more important is attitude, like a man who loves his cock worshipped, someone who will not only lay back and get sucked but will mouth-fuck me using his hips to thrust deeply and holding the back of my head steady with his hands. I love taking a cock down my throat and having my mouth fucked for a very long time, when you finally cum, I"d love to take it in my mouth and swallow, so that I can savour the taste of it.
FEET: I love sniffing, massaging and licking and sucking feet and toes. Not filthy feet and toes but feet and socks that have the scent of the long day in them.
SUBMISSIVE: I guess I am submissive and enjoy when an older man takes control in the bedroom. Even happy with master/slave and dom/sub play, though I am not into spanking or pain.
WATERSPORTS: I"ve tried watersports recently and enjoyed it. Important that the man feeding me his piss drinks a lot of water or liquids so that the pee is clear and not too bitter. The last time I tried watersports was with an older, taller, heavier man with a thick huge cock and he put his cock in my mouth in bed and let go, not holding back and it was a quite a full stream of piss that filled my mouth and throat, but I didn"t spill a drop (I think I was really worried about getting my mattress wet, he didn"t tell me that he would piss like that in bed, but in the end, it was a nice piss drinking experience)
MISC: Lots of other interests and happy to discuss.
Turn Ons
Lots of things: chubby men, tall men, husky men, men with nice fleshy bottoms, licking and eating a nice hole, being mouth-fucked, kissing... I like a man who is dominant in the bedroom, someone with a good attitude about sex, someone who doesn"t just lie back and enjoy getting sucked but someone who pumps and grinds my mouth and face, someone who will thrust his cock slowly and deeply down my throat and will rub his ass on my face and if he wants to be a bit verbal, that could be nice too. Lots of things...
Turn Offs
I"m definitely not into unhygienic men.
I have a preference for clean shaven men which is odd because I don"t see a lot of face doing what I like doing. I have a preference for cut men but have had some really wonderful uncut cock too, again the main thing is cleanliness. Neither of these are "Turn Offs" just preferences.
About myself
Marital Status
Tobacco Consumption
I'm a non-smoker
Alcohol Consumption
I rarely drink
About my Partner
Ideal partner
My ideal partner would be older 60s, 70s and older. Taller, heavier, clean shaven and someone who is dominant and enjoys using my oral talents to satisfy his needs. Someone who enjoys a good blowjob and likes to have his ass sniffed, licked and worshiped, someone who like his feet sniffed and licked.

Favorite sexual fantasy
Meeting an older, taller, stocky man on the internet. I get hot and excited and share my wildest fantasies with him and tell him that if we met I would do all that I wrote. Then getting an email back from him telling me that he wants to meet. I go to his house and I find that he has printed the page with all the things I promised. We have all weekend and he promises me that we will make sure that all the fantasies are realised. And the first one is that I want him sit on my face for as long as he wants. He has a rim chair and sets up in front of the television and tells me that before letting me lick his ass, he will sit on my face and let me sniff deeply the aroma from his hole followed by my licking his ass and sliding my tongue deep into his hole.
That is a bit of the fantasy but the rest of the weekend would include being mouthfucked and deep-throated, licking feet, and happily acting as his personal sex slave.
Is that too much to ask for???

Wish I could meet you. You do all the things I like for someone to do to me. I used to have a 48 year old black married FWB. He would deep rim me for a long time and then he would lick and suck my feet and toes as he fucked me. I loved it!

Battlefield 3 sold 5 million copies after being on shelves for a single week. However, while it may have been a big seller in the West, parts of the Middle East aren't quite as happy with the release.
An AFP report on the Lebanon Daily Star site says that DICE's military shooter has been banned in Iran. Although EA has no authorized local resellers in the country, pirated PC games are the norm in the region, and government officials have reportedly "raided (some shops) and arrested owners for selling the game secretly."
Battlefield 3 features a range of scenarios in various real-world locales, one of them being an urban Iranian setting featuring the historic Grand Bazaar. Local newspaper Asr-e Ertebat reports that an unnamed deputy with the security and intelligence division of Iran's police said, "All computer stores are prohibited from selling this illegal game."
As reported by the Fars news agency, a group of "Iranian youths" have collected more than 5,000 signatures in an online petition to protest Battlefield 3. "We understand that the story of a videogame is hypothetical … (but) we believe the game is purposely released at a time when the US is pushing the international community into fearing Iran," the petition purportedly reads.
Violence and perceived promotion of criminal acts are oft-cited reasons for game bannings, but geopolitical concerns causing outcry over games is a comparatively rare occurrence. In 2006, Mercenaries 2 caused some controversy in Venezuela for its depiction of a "power hungry tyrant" as the head of the country and the game's main antagonist. Two years earlier, Ghost Recon 2 was banned in South Korea for a plotline with a war-torn Korean peninsula that went "way too far." (That ban was lifted in 2006.)
[UPDATE]: An Electronic Arts representative commented on the matter for GameSpot, saying, "In that Battlefield 3 is not available for purchase in Iran, we can only hope the ban will help prevent pirated copies reaching consumers there."

Success for Stylease
Jennifer Hughes wanted a more sophisticated clothing style for her baby. She didn't want to deal with the hassle of separate clothes, so she decided to create a design for one-piece garments that look like separate clothes.
Jennifer established the Stylease line of children's fashions. She found a manufacturer, arranged for distribution, hired an ad agency, trademarked and patented her product and funded the initial spring line of 16,000 outfits. However, Jennifer lacked a business plan, a budget process and a financing mechanism. Her ad agency suggested that she contact SCORE.
Over the years, Jennifer raised additional capital for the marketing and manufacturing of Stylease's expanded spring line. Since contacting Phil, she has more than quadrupled the boutique stores that carry her line to nearly 200.
Jennifer still bounces ideas off Phil almost daily via email or phone. She has met with him several times while in New York for apparel trade shows. And, Phil's grandson joined Jennifer's daughter as models on the cover of Stylease's 2005 Spring Catalog.
Jennifer browsed SCORE's Web site looking for assistance on "venture capital & financing". She found Phil Greene, a SCORE mentor in New Rochelle, New York, from the list of available mentors with this expertise.
"I hit the jackpot," says Jennifer. "Phil helped me create a business plan, guided me through business scenarios and introduced me to potential investors."
"I thank SCORE for providing the resources that they do," Jennifer says. "I am eternally grateful to Phil, my mentor and friend, for continuing to help me to build a strong and successful company."

Viewing that the 1970's the design and style has attracted mainstream see. When most people are listening to the trendy age hiphoppers these kind of as Eminem, with hiphop audio on-line attaining in attractiveness; its hard to ignore the popular Afrika Bambaataa, Keith Cowboy, Grandmaster Flash on top of that, the Furious five who ended up staying the first stars that served hiphop receive the recognition that it enjoys right now. Will operate from these entertainers are at the moment not only in existence on CDs but besides that web-sites which give hip hop audio downloading. It truly is definitely thoroughly assumed that hiphop over the US arose within for the Bronx in the seventies despite the fact that the vocal pattern next hand with the design and style was carried out by way of the griots for loads of ages earlier to anyone skilled noticed about rap or hiphop. In its infancy, the design and style and magnificence was defined as disco rap. Keith Cowboy may perhaps rather nicely be credited with coining the time frame; when intending to vex a pal who seasoned just enlisted for the armed forces, by mimicking the sound from the marching cadence on account of the words and phrases and phrases, hip-hop. The artist faster or later on labored the vocals into his period performances, a technique which was conveniently adopted by other artists inside the time most of these as Rapper's Delight and also the SugarHill Gang. additional info for other facts and techniques on hip hop. Alternatively, the phrase did not create mainstream relevance and was even viewed as derogatory until finally it experienced been continuously set to make use of by Afrika Bambaataa to discover and determine the subculture which was rather quickly pervading the trendy age tunes scene. With the conclusion the term found its method to print push and inevitably around the Grammy Awards; hip-hop veteran genuinely arrived; right now, hip hop new songs on line enjoys massive recognition. Even though hip hop has very long been dominating the stylish new songs scene for a handful of generations; a number of lovers and professionals are while using experience which the fashion is quite very well before its major presented the deficiency of lyrical skill-sets turns into painfully obvious in artists who're the right way referred to as "one-hit wonders". Pretty lots of hiphop tracks remaining executed in the course of tunes channels and radio stations purely call for a chorus recurring near and earlier mentioned once more to catchy beats which could be satisfactory for that dance flooring. As an alternative to this, there was a time when the artists electrical power to layout substantial lyrics was paramount to his/her achievements. The sheer deficiency of understanding has propagated a 'non-caring' way of life among the listeners; they readily you shouldn't look to cure regarding the artist any more; a great deal more frequently than not enduring one particular around the artist not owning even recognizing his/her title. Timeless samples of this shifting paradigm are tracks like "Chicken Noodle Soup" and artists this kind of as Youthful B. Fortuitously, there is certainly surely always an individual selected set just where by hip-hop artists never ever attract back again from experimenting with their lyrics also as their new audio to an extent that will be viewed as particularly adventurous for only a mainstream rapper. visit this website for further information on hip hop.Tags: hip hop(7), hip hop music(2), mixtape(1), worldstarhiphop(1), hip hop mixtapes(1)Bookmark & Share:Twitter , Digg , Facebook >>Login to comment Report this page hubungi admin, atw YM : dolla_indra, atw sms 081363130947, atw BBM : 21B3F8BF. ---------------------------------------------- Bangga Jadi Member CMnet?

"Tirana, Albania" Tirana by txtinner
Tirana Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 0 photos
Leaving for there on 12-30-05
Will arrive on 12-31-05
I am here in Tirana, Albania and starting to get used to the new Country.
Seems to be plenty of Internet cafe here, although not many have high speed.
New Years is the countries largest holiday and last for three of four days, or untill the fire-works run out. If you arrive durring that time, don't get excited when a M-80 explodes between your feet. Seems to be their way of saying "Welcome to Albania"!
Seriously, this is not too bad for a third world country. The people are friendly, but not much english is spoken here. So I recomend getting an Albanese-English dictionary & keep it with you.

Malware levels have risen threefold in the past year, according to security firm McAfee.The company observed more than 1.2 million new malware samples over the first six months of 2009, or roughly 6,000 every day.By comparison, McAfee logged just over 400,000 pieces of malware in the first half of 2008, and fewer than 300,000 in the whole of 2007.Dave Marcus, director of research and communication at McAfee Avert Labs, said in a blog post that the increase is a by-product of the explosion in cybercrime over recent years."There are many reasons why malware continues to grow, but it is mainly a criminal's game at this point," he said. "The tools and code are readily available, and that will certainly not change. But it is also definitely not doomsday."The huge increase in malware has also forced security firms to change the way they handle new threats.In an effort to keep up with the flood, many vendors have begun to phase out the use of daily signature updates in favour of web-based networks, which allow companies to report new threats and distribute protective measures to customers throughout the day.

Lone 5 Star Review On Amazon Turns Out To Be Work of Crew Member
WESTWOOD - Derek Lajeunesse is suspected of giving a five star review to The Grim Reaper; a direct-to-video film he worked on the set of earlier this year. Amazon officials became suspicious of the five star review when they clicked on his username, "D-Licious55" and discovered only one other review -- a five star review for last year's direct-to-video horror film, The Yeti Horror which imdb lists Lajeunesse as having worked on as well. In both reviews, Lajeunesse posted the same text, verbatim, in the form of a narrative which is now believed to be fictional. "I walked into a small theater on a whim not expecting much. Boy was I surprised! While it doesn't have the big budget of Hollywood horror films, this little indie flick has a lot more heart... and enough gore to keep any horror fan happy. Awesome!"
The scam was uncovered by Justin Quinn, alias "TheRealTylerDurden," who watched a rented copy of The Grim Reaper based on Lajeunesse's glowing testimony. Quinn's review took a decidedly contrary view, "I don't know if the last reviewer is retarded or what. This movie sucked. It was boring and the acting and effects were awful. I'm only giving this one star because Amazon doesn't allow you to give zero!"
Control Release Date Pushed Back To 2011
NEW YORK - Tamara Jackson, speaking on behalf of her employers, The Weinstein Company, has confirmed her company's decision to not release Anton Corbijn's critically-acclaimed film for another three years. Jackson explained, "In keeping with Weinstein's cautious approach to DVD releases, we have thought long and hard and decided to wait until the smoke clears from the recent HD DVD vs. Blu-Ray format war. While Blu-Ray has proven winner in this battle, who's to say that some new, undreamed of format, like an optolithic data rod, isn't going to render Blu-Ray as obsolete as VideoDiscs?"

High Availability (HA) systems traditionally have been confined to large datacenters because of their high cost and the difficulty of scaling down clustered servers and shared storage arrays to support smaller environments such as Small Office Home Office (SOHO) and Remote Business Office (ROBO).
Microsoft and LSI are changing that.
As part of Windows Server® 2012, Microsoft and LSI collaborated on the development of the innovation called Cluster in a Box (CiB). With CiB, HA systems are now available for SOHO and ROBO applications. At AIS, we're demonstrating our Syncro® CS High Availability controller in a clustered server system.
Our demo shows how Syncro CS, with its easy-to-deploy yet powerful automatic failover, helps protect and provide cost-effective continuous access and availability to your valuable data. The solution now supports both Linux® and Windows® OS environments.
Last June, we launched Syncro CS solutions with a demo at the Microsoft® Tech Ed Conference. The demo featured a Syncro CS discrete server cluster using two servers, two Syncro CS controllers and a JBOD. Each server was loaded with Windows Server 2012 in a cluster. Syncro CS controllers enabled the shared storage. The entire system was interconnected with a "backbone communications" system provided through a SAS interface. Each server was running Microsoft Server 2012 Hyper-V with a virtual machine (VM) housing Counterstrike 1.6 server. Basically, the Counterstrike server was built into a Syncro CS High Availability server cluster. Clients accessed the game with Microsoft Surface Tablets.
When one of the servers was turned off, the automatic failover engaged and the tablet users never were aware of the "failure."
Our AIS demo uses RHEL 6.4 Linux as the native OS running the KVM hypervisor with a Windows Server 2012 VM. Microsoft Surface Tablets access the Counterstrike server housed in the Windows VM.
The demonstration highlights the option for administrators to use Linux as the native operating system for each server while running Windows applications in HA architectures.
At AIS, we're also excited about our panel discussion "Delivering a Paradigm of High Availability" featuring several industry experts and thought leaders. On the panel are Michael Steineke, VP Information Technology, Edgenet; Trenton Baker, VP Business Development, DataOn; Gene Lee, CEO, EchoStreams; John Loveall, Principal Program Manager, Microsoft Windows Server, Microsoft Corporation; Greg Kleiman, Director Strategy, Storage Business Unit, Red Hat; and Rick Reisner, Product Line Director, Datacenter Solutions Group, LSI.
The panel will discuss market needs for HA storage, offer their perspectives on product deployment, and discuss potential future HA use cases and product developments.

In preparation for the development of Windows Server® 2012, Microsoft polled customers and found that features that make high availability easier to configure and more affordable are critical. Little wonder. The features are pennies from heaven to the vast universe of smaller IT shops that often have found traditional high-availability solutions too expensive and difficult to install and maintain.
In a recent video, John Loveall, principal program manager for the Windows Server Division of Microsoft, discusses how Microsoft® Windows Server 2012 and the LSI® Syncro™ CS solution can make it easier for organizations of all sizes to deploy high availability.
While large organizations remain a vital proving ground for new breeds of computer gear, Loveall sees small businesses, branch offices and private cloud environments using high-availability systems as a window into the future of server technology.

When I am out on the road in Europe, visiting customers and partners, one common theme that comes up on a daily basis is that high-availability systems are essential to nearly all businesses regardless of size or industry. Sadly, all too often we see what can happen when systems running business-critical applications such as transaction processing, Web servers or electronic commerce are not accessible – potentially lost revenue and lost productivity, leading to dramatically downward-spiralling customer satisfaction.
To reduce this risk, the industry focus has been on achieving the best level of high availability, and for the enterprise market segment this has often meant installing and running storage area network (SAN) solutions. SANs can offer users a complete package – scalability, performance, centralised management and the all-important uptime or high availability.
Drawbacks of SAN
But for all its positives, the SAN also has its downsides. To ensure continuous application availability, server clustering and shared-node connections that build redundancy into a cluster and eliminate single points of failure are crucial. The solution is not only extremely complex, it can have a hefty price tag, amounting to tens of thousands of dollars, and can be hard for many smaller to medium-sized businesses to afford.
When considering budgets and storage needs, many businesses have shied away from investing in a SAN and opted for a far simpler direct attached storage (DAS) solution – mainly because it can be far easier to implement and considerably cheaper. Historically, however, the biggest problem with this was that DAS could not offer high availability, and recovery from a server or storage failure could take several hours or even days.
Combining the simplicity of DAS with the high availability of SAN storage
As businesses work to reduce storage costs, simplify deployment, and increase agility and uptime in the face of massive data growth, storage architects are often looking for a way to combine the best of both worlds: the simplicity of DAS storage and the high availability of SAN storage. The goal for many is to create a system that is not only cheaper than a regular SAN but also offers full redundancy, less management complexity and guarantees uptime for the business in case a server goes down.
LSI has pioneered an HA-DAS solution, Syncro™ CS, that costs approximately 30% less than traditional HA entry-level SAN solutions, depending on the solution/configuration. It reduces complexity by providing fully redundant, shared-node storage and application failover, without requiring storage networking hardware. Syncro CS solutions are also designed to reduce latency compared to SAN-based solutions, helping to accelerate storage I/O performance and speed applications.
The good news for businesses that rely on DAS is that they have an option, Syncro CS, to now more easily upgrade their DAS infrastructure to help achieve high availability, with easier management and lower cost. The result is a much simpler failover solution that provides more affordable business continuity and reduces downtime.
