Basically, my idea is to make a multi-editor video using Rachmaninoff's "Prelude in C#-". The video would be split into parts, and each part would be a different editor's vision of Hell.
To listen to the song, go to http://alxd.sytes.net/audio/rachprelude.mp3
This mp3 is likely very close to the final version of the audio, but it is not the final version.
Here is a loose map out of approximate sections. Of course this is just a estimate,
0:00 - 1:05 Part 1
1:05 - 1:18 Transition 1
1:18 - 2:09 Part 2
2:09 - 2:21 Transition 2
2:21 - 3:05 Part 3
3:05+ Credits
So there is 3 parts, plus "in-between" transitions and credits. Each part is progressively "deeper" into Hell (the music changes and becomes heavier) and the transitions are parts in the music where there is a literal descent in pitch.
Obviously not a huge project, only 5 people at the most, and only 3 people are "needed". I can possibly do a section myself, but only for a last resort. =)
For the transitions, if somebody wants to do them, that's great. However, probably it will end up being a collaboration between the editors who have the parts before and after.
I'm leaving editing guidelines to this : the video has to have a theme of the descent into Hell. I would highly discourage action styles... but I guess it could happen. I want to give anybody who joins up full opportunity to do whatever you want... but if you aren't going to stick with the "descent into Hell" theme then this project isn't for you. =\ If you want to change the audio... I can only say "maybe".
If a few people are interested in this and post here, I will start this project and make a "real" thread.
Also, if somebody wants to make suggestions on how the project is run, or stuff I missed in this post, please suggest. =)
Please post if you are interested, or have any suggestions!
MIDI version (only download this if you want a quick sample... this version is not accurate and the mp3 version is a million times better)

The minute you think of becoming ripped abs, a picture of heavy ab workouts come up in mind. Are ab exercises really helpful in getting 6-pack abs? It completely is determined by the person's age, gender, diet, workout plan and many other factors. If you are serious enough to get chiseled abs without joining a fitness center, you must comprehend the basics of how fat burning works.
Consider it. The more you flex your back and stretch it the more discomfort you may develop over time. This really is why everybody always says to have great bearing like a soldier even if you have a desk job.
Be careful about folks talking about situps as the best abs workout to do. Sure you could find way more ab exercise advice than www.bronxphysicaltherapy1.com and that I encourage you to seek. Rubbish. There are other good abs workouts that can simply take the title of greatest ab exercise. The situps are sometimes a great abs workout but it is only one way to get abs fast.
Fats also needs to be cut. You will simply want to multiply your body-weight by 0.2 and that is how much fat you will be consuming in grams. The reason that you are eating fats at all is because it's what keeps your bodies energy up and operate operating.
Another tremendous mistake that people do right from the start is begin doing just abdominal exercises. They believe that if they do crunches, it will melt the fat right off their midriff and make their abdominal muscles defined and visible. Well this is simply not the situation. Doing stomach exercises and abdominal workouts are merely one part of the equation. There is a lot of other work that's going to have to be completed to get to your own goals of having a six pack.
Exercise Balls – A 55 or 65 millimeter ball is the typical size ball and almost any type of balancing task done on this equipment will strengthen the core. Pushups, situps, tone belt presses, and hip lifts are only a few common workouts that are guaranteed to do the trick.
An alternative method for this work out is going on your elbows instead of your fingers. It does not make it any easier on the abs, but it minimizes some of the pull on the shoulders.
I would like to make one point perfectly clear, although this work out is made for anyone; youthful or old, scrawny or not too skinny, man or woman; CI30 isn't for the casual person who only exercises for recreation. If done correctly, the CI30 exercise will kick your tail period! CI30 is a full body work out. You will be doing press-UPS, a lot of pushups with different versions. You may work your legs, you are going to work your abs, you will get cardiovascular exercise …..and something else, YOU'LL SWEAT!
The Board – Lay face-down and raise your body off the ground so that you are supporting your weight with your elbows and toes just. The rest of the body is straight and parallel to the floor. Hold this position for 30 seconds at a time. Start out with 2 or 3 sets and build around two minutes per established.
The truth is, getting a fit tummy is not as much function as you may believe: if you know what you are engaged in, that's. And, each of us has the same 24 hours in a day, so time management is actually what it is all about. What about the excuse about having bad genes? Well, while it's true that some people are just born with an increased average metabolic rate, anyone and every one can achieve a level belly if they know which measures to take.
Don't kid yourself, this is going to be a demanding work out. But you still should do it at least four times each week for 30 days. It may be tough, especially at first, but youwill be happy you stuck with it once you see your level abs when looking in the mirror.

|Microembolic signals in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Effect of aortic atherosclerosis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11330734 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The aim of this prospective study was to determine whether aortic atherosclerotic plaques are associated with increased frequency of microembolic signals and stroke in patients who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting. A total of 69 such patients were monitored by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography for 30 minutes before and after surgery. To our knowledge, this study is the 1st in which in vivo pathologic analysis of aortic plaques was systematically performed-and microembolic signals monitored-before and after open-heart surgery. Plaques were assessed by transesophageal echocardiography and by biopsy of materials taken during surgery. The frequency of microembolic signals was evaluated with regard to the occurrence of postoperative stroke. In the preoperative phase, only 10 of 48 patients with aortic plaques had microembolic signals, and the mean count of microembolic signals was 3.2 +/- 1.2 per hour. At the conclusion of 24 postoperative hours, 29 patients (42%) displayed such signals (mean count, 9.8 +/- 3.1/h). Seven of the 48 patients (15%) with aortic atherosclerosis had cerebral ischemic events, but none of those with normal aorta (21 patients) experienced stroke during the postoperative phase. During postoperative monitoring, patients with stroke had higher microembolic-signal counts than did those with normal aorta (174 +/- 3.3/h vs 5.9 +/- 3.1/h; P <0.05). Our findings suggest that microembolic signals can be a marker of severe aortic atherosclerosis and that monitoring these signals should enable the application of appropriate surgical methods to coronary artery bypass patients who are at higher risk of stroke.

Diddy's Romantic Riddle: Which Famous Actress Rejected Him?
Here are a few things you didn't know (and probably never wanted to know) about Diddy: He unsuccessfully tried to lose his virginity at the age of 7; he did lose it six years later; he was a porn aficionado by junior high; and he readily admits to nookie sessions lasting 30 hours.
"I'm proud to say I love sex," the self-delighted star broadcasts in a swaggering sit-down in the January issue of Playboy (the one with the terrifying Tara Reid cover). "You might catch me in a porn store at any given moment -- it ain't nothing I'm ashamed of. If they start sending freaks to jail, I'm guilty as charged."
RELATED: See Diddy and more of the creepiest celeb wax figures
But Diddy confesses that there have been times when he has felt the sting of rejection when attempting to get his freak on.
He shares a tale of woe about "a young lady who's an actress. She's famous. I liked her, so I was willing to do whatever I had to do. I told her, 'I will sneak up the side of the building to see you.' I was persistent."
Alas, as with many a doomed romance, they simply couldn't get out of the way of their own enormous fame.
"We started spending time together, but we were prisoners of our celebrity," he explains. "She took me to dinner after we got to know each other and hit me with a line that was straight out of the movies. She said, 'You know this will never work, right?'"
Laughs Diddy, "I knew she was right."
RELATED: Follow Wonderwall on Twitter
So, who was the famous actress in question? He insists the answer will be revealed only to the very highest authority. No, not People magazine: the Almighty.
"The only person I'm gonna tell is God," the mogul declares. "If he says I can't get into heaven I may whisper it in his ear. She was so cool the way she let me down softly, and she offered me a ride back to my hotel."
When Sienna Miller's name is floated as a possibility (they were linked in 2007), Diddy is quick with a denial.
"It wasn't her," he pooh-poohs. "This was going to shake up the world. It would have been a Puff and J.Lo situation, part two."
That's led some to wonder if he's talking about Cameron Diaz, with whom he appeared to get quite friendly back in 2008.
That spring, the New York Daily News purportedly caught the pair in a near-kiss during a Prince-hosted bash. Diddy protested that they were just friends.
"Privacy is a sexy thing to have," he opines of his tease of the would-be liaison. "It's important to be trusted and to be able to have secrets and moments that are your own."
RELATED: Become a fan of Wonderwall on Facebook
Meanwhile, Diddy also admits to experiencing "betrayal" in a relationship, and he doesn't object when the interviewer suggests he might be talking about the aforementioned Jennifer Lopez, whom he split with in 2001, right around the time he was facing a gun charge.
"There was a point when the world perceived me as a bad guy and people had to distance themselves," he says. "It is convenient to stand next to the bad boy when things are hot and going well, but when things go down it isn't as sexy. That hurts ... When you love hard, you would actually die for somebody. And it hurts to know the person you'd die for won't even handle life's pain for you."

Broner defeats Rees, remains undefeatedComment on this story
ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey – WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner stopped Gavin Rees in the fifth round on Saturday to defend his title and remain undefeated.
The American scored two knockdowns in the bout and took command with a powerful left hook to the body that forced Rees to take a knee in the fifth.
The Welshman got to his feet, but Broner (26-0, 22 Kos) landed a series of body shots and combinations that drove Rees into a corner and prompted his trainer, Gary Lockett, to wave a white towel. Referee Earl Brown halted the fight at 2 minutes, 59 seconds into the round.
"He kept coming and threw every shot like it was his best shot," Broner said. "I knew he would be tough. He's tougher than a steak that's well-done."
Broner controlled most of the bout, but Rees didn't back down. The 32-year-old wasn't fazed by Broner's antics and continually pressed forward. At times, he even did a little clowning himself, which drew some cheers from the fans.
"I wanted to (stop the fight) after four rounds, but Gavin said no way he was quitting," Lockett said. "I also considered stopping it after the third, but Gavin is too proud."
Broner scored his first knockdown in the fourth, catching Rees with one of his trademark right uppercuts that sent the Welshman to the canvas. Rees got up and endured a savage beating along the ropes just before the bell sounded to end the round.
"I'm disappointed in my performance," Rees said. "I made a lot of mistakes. I have a better skill set than that. He hits incredibly hard for a lightweight. I knew he hit hard, but the power just stunned me.
"But I disagree with my trainer stopping it. I was always going to get back up. I was going to get keep getting up until I got knocked out cold."
In the co-feature, Australian super-middleweight Sakio Bika (31-5-2, 21 KOs) earned another shot at unified champion Andre Ward (20-0, 16 KOs) by earning a 12-round, unanimous decision over Montenegro's Nikola Sjekloca (25-1, 7 KOs). Ward beat Bika via decision three years ago.
"I had a great plan and worked hard," Bika said. "He was undefeated and came to fight. It was a great opportunity for me. Now I want to fight all the great fighters - Lucian Bute, Andre Ward, all of them." – Sapa-AP

Summer Youth Arts Programs
Coming in 2014, Greek Mythology meets The Hunger Games in SUPERHUMAN HAPPINESS!
SUPERHUMAN HAPPINESS is an original musical theater production that adapts Ovid's Metamorphosis to explore contemporary concepts of shape-shifting and makeover. Ovid's wonder-tales of myths and fantastic legends create a source book of imagery that compliments our digital world of invention, flux and disguise. The result is an update of the classic story as youth investigate the "hows" and "whys" of personal change.
SUPERHUMAN HAPPINESS combines dance, theater, music and tableaux to tell cinematic stories of mischief and cleverness. It is adapted for the stage by John Fleming with original music by Ellen Maddow from The Talking Band Theater of New York ( http://talkingband.org/our-team/ellen-maddow/ ) and visual effects by award winning Ohio artist Curtis Goldstein (http://curtisgoldstein.blogspot.com/).
Some are transformed just once
And live their whole lives after in that shape.
Others have a facility
For changing themselves as they please.
Throughout the summer, the YSKP has weekly arts camps for youth of all ages. Click here for Arts Camps Schedule.

Preliminary hearing for Oswaldo Rivera, Monday, February 3, 2014 in Camden.
- Filed Under
The alleged killer of 6-year-old Dominick Andujar will return to court in March.
A trial date was scheduled to be set for Osvaldo Rivera on Monday, but Judge Michele M. Fox granted an extension until March 3. The state had previously offered Rivera a plea deal of 65 years in prison in exchange for his guilty plea in the September 2012 slaying.
The 32-year-old was allegedly high on "wet" - a combination of ...

Food to be dispensed from temporary location as new Angel Attic is built
The new Angel Attic is the first building in Phase I of Calvary Lutheran Church's overall building project.
When an anonymous donation came in that enabled volunteers from Calvary Lutheran Church to build a permanent structure to house its Angel Attic, volunteers were both happy and perplexed.
Would Tuesday's food distribution that serves about 325 families a week be disturbed during the building process? Would these families still be able to count on receiving their bags of food?
This question was answered when several church members got together and agreed to pay rent on the store located at 19 7th Ave. N.E. Ruskin, which is in the shopping plaza near the Ruskin Post Office.
According to Tracy White, operations manager at Angel Attic, they were also offered a discount rent by the plaza owners.
The first food distribution at the temporary location will be Feb. 12.
Meanwhile, the building that now houses Angel Attic and the Community Cupboard, at 1424 East College Ave., Ruskin, must be emptied out as that building will become the "new and improved," larger Community Cupboard food pantry after the donated clothing, furniture and household items are moved into storage in anticipation of the new 4,000-square-foot metal structure to be built on the property owned by the church.
"The new Angel Attic is the first building in Phase I of our building project," said a church spokeswoman, Paula Sabo. The idea for Angel Attic was originally to make money for the feeding project, she said.
Angel Attic has grown so much that the building is now filled with all kinds of household items, clothes, jewelry, books and furniture. All these are being moved into storage trailers and hopefully, most of it will be sold during the big "Blow-Out Sale" on the premises, in tents, and outdoors Friday, Feb. 8 and Saturday Feb. 9 from 9 a.m. to noon.
"Everything will be 50 percent off, and we'll have special 'fill a bag' prices too. We have everything, including electronics," Sabo said.
Angel Attic will not be able to accept donations of any items (except food for Community Cupboard) until the new building is open.
Target date for that is some time in mid June.
"We're having a groundbreaking Feb. 24 and we think it will take about four months from that time," Sabo said.
The new structure is the first part of Phase I of a long-term building project on 25 acres of property bought by the church in 2004.
"A mission center is also planned as part of Phase I," Sabo said.
Church officials say they have both plans and building project approvals for their three-phase project, but finances dictate that the current church building and grounds must be sold before any more building can be done.

The University of Puget Sound said on Wednesday it had received a donation of 14.5 coins of the currency, which it has converted into more traditional dollars.
Nicolas Cary graduated from the university in 2007 and now runs Blockchain, which supports the online currency market. The 27-year-old CEO said he wanted to make the gift in the money that is central to his life and career.
He believes the donation is the first Bitcoin gift to a U.S. college or university.
Bitcoin is an open-source currency affiliated with no country or bank. Peer-to-peer trading began in 2009.
Sherry Mondou, vice president for finance and administration at the University of Puget Sound, said administrators were a little uncertain how to handle the gift, as they had no policies on digital currency.
"But we greatly welcomed Nic's thoughtful initiative and felt it would serve us well to learn to engage with the e-commerce world," Mondou said.
The donation was made in support of a $125 million alumni fundraising campaign, money meant for scholarships, academic programs, buildings and other projects.

A new helipad designed for emergency medical evacuation was dedicated this morning in the small town of Keith.
The project was the brainchild of members of the United Methodist Men's group from the Zion Methodist church in Iola. The rural area's helipad will serve as a jumping-off point for helicopters transporting ill or injured patients. The money, manpower and technology to build the pad was all donated.
"The helipad provides almost instant access to medical facilities," said Jim Deeter with the Zion United Methodist Men. "It takes about seven minutes to come from Coulter Field to this site, so we can evacuate folks to a medical facility probably four to five times as fast."
A flight from the new pad to Houston will take around 20 minutes.
Community leaders say similar projects are in the works in Grimes County.

Posted by Josh Katzowitz
Peyton Manning gave a surprise interview to the local press Thursday, and the conclusion to draw from the briefing is that the progress with his neck seems a little stagnated. Which obviously isn't highly positive. And considering his neck still hasn't fused, progress is going slowly for the Colts MVP (this year and every year, apparently).
"Not a whole lot to report," he told reporters, including the Indianapolis Star. "Still waiting for the fusion to take place. That takes place, they thought, between two and three months. Still going slow with that.
"I still have some of the same issues I had before the fusion as far as the nerves and the regeneration. Still dealing with that, the idea being that this surgery gave me the most stability for the nerves to regenerate. That's still a process there."
Manning said there really isn't a timeline to his recovery. Instead, it's more like a series of checkpoints, the next of which occurs Dec. 1. That's when he'll be three months out of surgery, and doctors can determine his strength and conditioning. But for now, he can't predict where he'll be and when he'll be there.
He does know this: he'd like to practice sometime this season.
"Well, the thing about it is the fact that I am on the active roster, if I were in a position, if I were cleared to practice and if I were at a strength level, conditioning level checkpoint that I were cleared, it's the greatest venue to go out and see where you are on the practice field as opposed to having to grab a receiver off to the side and go out before walk-through or before practice," he said. "If I was cleared and able to do that, it would be nice to be able to do that, to go out and participate in a team practice where everything is right there with you, even though you probably couldn't do everything. So, that's a hope and a wish."
But as far as playing this year? You've got to think there's absolutely no chance of it happening.
Manning's sense of humor, though, is still there. You might recall that CBS/Showtime analyst Phil Simms said recently that Andrew Luck didn't have an NFL arm. Naturally, reporters asked Manning about that, since the Colts, assuming they have the No. 1 draft pick next year, could take him as Manning's eventual replacement.
"Yeah, I don't talk to Phil. Phil doesn't talk to me," Manning said. "He did text me after that, saying 'Hey, sorry to drag your name into this.' I wrote back, 'Phil I don't know what you're talking about.' He said, 'Well on my show, Inside the NFL, I made this statement.' I said, 'Phil, I hate to break it to you, but I don't watch your show, along with a lot of other people that I don't think watch that show.' Giving himself a little more credit than probably was merited."

Manning's progress slow, manages to zing Simms
Simms has 2 rings, but only won one of them. He played very little during the season in which Jeff Hostetler won the Super Bowl. If I'm not mistaken, Damon Huard and Rohan Davey also have 2 rings. Nice company to be in for Simms, who is by no means 'a really good tv analyst for CBS.' I also would not say that he was 'a very good Quarterback.' He had his moments, however, and performed extremely well in the lone Super Bowl that he did play in. The true test of greatness is an induction into Canton, however, it's unlikely that Simms will ever get the nod in that regard, having been retired now for some 18 years. In my opinion, he's lucky to have a booth job, because he's not good at it and a lot of people struggle and force themselves to listen to him. Personally, unless it's a must-see game in which he's appearing, I'll watch other games because it's just too painful to put up with him.

I am missing something here. If Simms spoke about Luck's arm, what does that have to do with Manning? How did Simms drag his name in? If I mention something about unemployment rates, does that mean I am talking about Ben Bernanke?

Phil Simms is the Tim McCarver of football analysts. There are times when it sounds like neither of them have ever played the game they are talking about. Its painful listening to either of them.

This is just another example of Peyton's class. He's so genuine and sincere. He can rip Simms and not use a singe derogatory phrase. We need more players like him in the League. Thank you Peyton, for proving someone can be great and not shove it down everybody's throat. The Colts nation misses you!

The reason Phil feels so important is because he has Jim Nantz sitting next to him staring at him all star struck and giving him hand jobs between commercials. I love Peytons honesty. He let him know what he thought of him without being a blatant jackoff, like Phil.

We recently unveiled our new line of Titleist Advanced Performance irons, and several of our Tour players have already put the irons into their bags. We were able to catch up with a few of these players this week at the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines, near our West Coast operations outside of San Diego. Be sure to click on the image below to see the complete gallery.

The new AP irons look great! Just wondering if any of the players put the new Z irons into play this week?
January 25, 2008
Nice irons Titleist. I have the 695MB set. What differences are there between those and the new Z•B Forged iron? Also, have any staff players switched to the new blade yet? Great blog site by the way - keep up the good work from all in South Yorkshire, England.
January 25, 2008
The 695MB are forged muscle back irons with a Z-muscle design that shifts the center of gravity closer to the face center for a solid feel, more efficient energy transfer and consistent launch conditions. The Z•B Forged are high performance, blended cavity-to-muscle back forged irons with traditional feel, superior looks and shot control.
January 25, 2008
Thanks Roy. Like the rest of us, Adam likes to test new equipment and is always trying to dial in the optimal set. He has indicated that, despite having a thicker look than he is used to, the new Titleist AP2 irons provide him with great ball flight.
We have two sets of Z•M Forged irons in play this week at the Buick Invitational: Titleist ambassador Chez Reavie and another player who is not under contract for irons, and who we thus can not name.
Any particular reason that Adam Scott has switched from 695MB to Z•M Forged, to 680, to AP2? Just curious if he is testing them or do they provide different characteristics for specific course set ups? Thanks for the great info. Love the new bags by the way.
I have a set of the 735.CM irons and have certainly enjoyed them over the last year and a half. How do they compare to the new Z•B Forged? And are the Z•B Forged short irons similar (or the same) to the Z•M Forged?
January 25, 2008
I noticed Billy Mayfair uses a 907D1 driver. What are his loft and shaft specs? Also, which other ambassadors are gaming the 907D1? Thanks!
January 25, 2008
The 735.CM and Z•B Forged are both blended cavity-to-muscle back forged irons. The Z•B Forged irons feature a Z shaped back design that moves weight from the heel to toe centering the CG for solid feel, consistent ball speed, launch and spin. The Z•B Forged and Z•M Forged short irons (8-P) share the same specs. Click here for more on all of the new Titleist iron models for 2008.
January 25, 2008
Thanks much for the reply. Decisions, decisions come late March, I guess. From first appearance, those Z•M Forged irons look like the direction I may head in, however...
Thanks again

Practically Speaking about Amazon Web Services – Part 3
What is AMI and types of AMIs available in various regions?
Amazon Machine Image is the basic unit of computing provided by Amazon Web Services Elastic Computing Cloud EC2. As we see in Virtualization, these are virtual appliances ready to be launched as Virtual Machines. These AMIs contain an operating system software and additional software required to deliver the functionality of the AMI. There are public AMIs provided by Amazon, community provided AMIs and private Paid AMIs. Now, there are about 800 paid AMIs in the US, 300 Paid AMIs in Europe and 80 Paid AMIs in the Asia Pacific region.
We see that the Amazon Web Services market share of public cloud services will be considerable in the future. One of the main reasons is that are a lot of Paid AMIs that are going to be made available in the EC2 Service. As we can see now, AMIs from companies like Sun, IBM, Oracle are getting popular.
If we take Oracle, there are about 37 Paid AMIs available for Oracle. More than 5 are popular AMIs. They include Oracle Database 11g, Oracle Database 10g, Oracle Weblogic Server etc.,
Let us see a typical user case study as presented by AWS. Center for Bio-Medical Informatics (CBMI) at Harvard Medical School uses a custom AMI provided by Oracle to simulate millions of avatars for different genetics tests. Dr. Peter Tonellato of CBMI says that AWS solution is stable, robust, flexible and low cost. Source: http://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/harvard/
Jeff Barr, AWS Evangelist told a conference in Seattle that AWS is hosting 6 to 8 of top ten Facebook games.

I am frustrated by the fact that both mainstream presidential candidates are ignoring two of the imperative issues of our times.
First, consider campaign finance reform. If we ever hope to eliminate the corrupting influence of special interests, we must get big money out of politics, starting with the reversal of Citizens United. But neither candidate is promoting the proposed 28th Amendment, which would impose much needed campaign finance reforms.
The second issue that needs more attention: Genuine reform of that portion of the financial sector that brought on the financial crisis of 2008. Neither candidate is seriously discussing the excessive concentration of bank ownership and the failure to break up "too big to fail."
If we do not address these important structural problems, they will continue to undermine our nation's political and financial systems. Both issues ought to be near the top of each candidate's political agenda.

Techniques for Including Memory Effects in the Digital Pre-Distortion Process
By Murthy Upmaka, Agilent Technologies
Digital pre-distortion (DPD) is today the most popular technique for linearizing a power amplifier (PA). It linearizes the PA by using the real-world signal, which is complex and time varying, created in the base band using sophisticated signal processing. Modifying the signal to counter the nonlinear effects of the PA is done using additional signal processing. The typical DPD process steps are shown Figure 1.
One of the important and critical features of any PA is memory. The instantaneous output from the PA may depend not only on current samples, but also on past samples. Consequently, the DPD algorithm should be able to account for this behavior, as well as the nonlinearity. The input and output waveforms can be obtained from either a laboratory measurement of the actual PA hardware (HW) or from simulation of a PA model. If the DPD is performed on PA HW then the true behavior of the PA is captured. If the DPD is done in simulation then two approaches are followed:
1. A model of the PA must first be created and then the DPD process is applied
2. The actual circuit of the PA in the analog world is co-simulated with the DPD algorithm in the digital world
Understanding the treatment of memory effects in each of these implementations is critical to achieving the most efficient and linear PA output performance. Typically, the memory of a PA is interpreted from the intermodulation levels at the output or by plotting the AM-AM and AM-PM curves. Let's take a closer look.
DPD on a PA Behavioral Model using Measurement-Based Polynomial Fitting
A polynomial-based PA model is curve fitted to the measured parameters such as gain, frequency, 1-dB compression point, 3rd order intercept point, etc. While this approach describes harmonic nonlinearities quite well, it does not fully account for certain RF impairments (e.g., the large signal input and output termination mismatch effects at the fundamental and harmonic frequencies). More importantly, the PA's memory effects cannot be captured using the polynomial fit model. Other more complex and advanced PA modeling techniques exist (e.g., the Voltera series, Hammerstein polynomials, Weiner-Hamerstein polynomials, and nonlinear complex envelope impulse response models), which can potentially account for PA memory effects. However, when well fitted, these advanced models can result in highly complicated polynomials with an excessively large number of terms. As a result, simulation speed and robust convergence may be negatively impacted.
DPD on a PA Behavioral Model using Measurement-Based X-Parameters*
The X-parameter-based PA model offers an accurate, modern, stable, transportable, and robustly convergent nonlinear measurement-based representation of the PA's nonlinear behavior. Since X-parameters are fully measurement based, they are highly accurate, especially in regards to frequency, power, harmonics, compression, bias dependencies, and input/output large signal complex impedance matching. To cover the scope of the model's measurement needs in multiple dimensions (e.g., frequencies, power levels, bias supplies, and input and output load conditions), large amounts of data must be collected. Also, accuracy greatly depends on the number of harmonics covered in measurement. Theory to include the dynamic aspects of the memory is available in literature. [1] In the current implementation of X-parameter measurement-based models, longer term dynamic memory effects cannot yet be accounted for. However, there has been an adaption to account for static memory effects due to PA bias modulation. [2]
D on a Simulation-Based Behavioral Model
Using the Envelope Transient solver available in the Agilent EEsof GoldenGate RF simulation environment (operating from within the Cadence Virtuoso environment), one can accurately extract a high fidelity PA model that accounts for nonlinearities and memory effects. [3] These GoldenGate simulation-based extractions are called Fast Circuit Envelope (FCE) models. Most commonly applied to Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) designs, the designer configures multiple simulations in the dimensions of interest, such as power, frequency, bias, source, and load impedances, or any other parameter that can be controlled in the RFIC fabrication or measurement process. This method presents a viable, highly accurate, very quick and robust design and analysis flow for integrating the FCE simulation-based behavioral model within the DPD process. However, the designer could be required to perform a large (one time) number of simulations to capture the required behavior of the PA over the various dimensionalities of interest. If during the DPD process it is found that the scope of the FCE model has to be widened, then one has to repeat the entire process of model extraction.
DPD with Direct Native Circuit-Level Co-Simulation
Co-simulation with a native RF analog circuit-based model, described by an RF analog circuit simulator such as Agilent EEsof's Advanced Design System, represents the optimum method for the DPD architect to capture the complete memory effects in the process of DPD amplifier linearization. Several other popular techniques to co-simulate DSP and RF circuits rely on extracting a baseband equivalent model of the RF circuit and then performing the DPD signal processing. These methods may completely ignore any PA memory effects, essentially forcing the designer to once again face many of the limitations previously explained.
There is one technique where no compromises are necessary and all the physics from the RF circuitry is captured accurately. However, a co-simulation of this nature between analog and digital worlds may be very long and potentially impractical.
To better understand the limitations, consider the following example of simulation analysis steps required using a traditional SPICE (time domain) simulator:
• Frequency range of simulation: 1800 MHz RF carrier
• Significant 3rd harmonic content (at 5400 MHz)
• 24.3-kHz symbol rate: simulation over 512 symbols
• 10 samples/period of highest tone of interest
• Simulation analysis steps = (5400e6 * 10) * (512 / 24.3e3) = 1.14e9. This is huge!
This could take quite a long time, depending on the complexity of the PA topology.
Fortunately, there is a solver technology called Circuit Envelope (CE), available within Agilent EEsof's ADS, for RF and microwave engineers. [4] CE is a hybrid solution technique incorporating the best features and benefits from each of the Harmonic Balance (HB) and SPICE solvers. It is ideally suited for time varying (non-steady state) nonlinear analysis of circuits having both a high frequency (carrier) content and a lower frequency time variation (modulation), such as analog and digitally modulated complex format signals, including wireless standards compliant waveforms.
As shown in the simulation example, the major advantage of CE is the efficiency (speed increase) achievable. The bandwidth (BW) in the example signal was 24.3 kHz. At the third harmonic it is 3*24.3 = 72.9 kHz. Using CE, the solver only needs to sample the 72.9 kHz desired modulation BW, not the carrier's third harmonic (at 5400 MHz). Again, assuming 10 samples per period, and collecting 512 symbols, we can determine the number of required simulation analysis points.
In this case, simulation analysis points = (3*24.3e3*10)*(512/24.3e3) = 15,360. This is significantly less than the 1.14e9 simulation analysis points required by a traditional SPICE (time domain) simulator. For this example, CE provides an efficiency factor greater than 74,000 times fewer simulation points!
DPAs implemented within Agilent EEsof's ADS, the CE solver has a special option to extract the nonlinear PA model such that it includes only the instantaneous response, neglecting any history and memory effects. This option is called Automatic Verification Modeling (AVM), or "fast co-sim." The advantage of utilizing the AVM mode is a significant increase in simulation speed, allowing for much quicker study/analysis of first-order nonlinear PA effects. Figures 2 and 3 show the AM-AM curves with and without AVM.
While the AVM option neglects memory effects, the DPD architect can take advantage of this feature to examine the efficacy of the DPD algorithm if there were no memory effects. This can establish a healthy exchange between the PA designer and the DPD algorithm architect, as the PA designer would know the extent of memory reduction required to achieve better linearization.
DPD on PA HW Using Measurement Instruments
As already mentioned, when the DPD algorithm is tested on PA HW, all the memory effects can be captured. However, the measurement instruments and associated HW (e.g., cables and adapters) must be carefully chosen because the imperfections in the HW can appear like memory. This can be illustrated with a simple simulation. For this case, assume that the output from a PA was captured with the AVM option turned ON, which produced a single valued AM-AM curve as in Figure 2. Then, imperfections were artificially created to imitate the actual HW. A 3 dB drooping frequency response in the pass band of the signal was created using a filter cascaded with the PA. The AM-AM curve in Figure 4 shows spreading that appears to be caused by memory effects, even though they are not.
The optimal means of fully accounting for the nonlinear behavior of an RF PA, including the memory effects in the DPD process, is to perform the DPD on a hardware amplifier in the lab using measurement instruments. Imperfections from the measurement system can manifest as memory effects, so care must be taken to isolate measurement effects from those of the PA. Building a DPD algorithm by co-simulating with a circuit level amplifier will deliver the most flexibility and accuracy. The DPD architect will understand the margins and limits of the DPD algorithm, while the RF PA engineer will understand how the PA design margins and limits can be improved or modified to achieve more efficient and linear PA output performance.

Will OpenRFM Shake Up the Microwave Industry?
By Barry Manz
Throughout the history of the RF and microwave industry there has never been a form factor standardizing the electromechanical, software, control plane, and thermal interfaces used by integrated microwave assemblies (IMAs) employed in defense systems. Rather, every system has been built to meet the requirements of a specific system, which may be but probably isn't compatible with any other system. It's simply the way the industry has always responded to requests from subcontractors that in turn must meet the physical, electrical, and RF requirements of prime contractors. Read More...

November 30, 2015
Big Bear Lake, Calif (AP) Investigators are trying to determine what caused a 700-pound grizzly bear to attack and kill his trainer at a California wild animal training center.
The bear, which had wrestled with Will Ferrell's character in the recent movie "semi-pro," suddenly turned on Stephen Miller yesterday, killing him with a bite to the neck.
California's Department of Fish and Game says the incident is being investigated by that department as well as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. A spokesman says any decision on whether to destroy the grizzly bear would likely be made by San Bernardino County Animal Care officials.
Actress Virginia Mckenna, the founder of the wildlife charity Born Free, says the death shows there's a need for the entertainment industry to use its "creative imagination" to find a way to stop using wild animals.

Remember the Tom Hanks comedy "The Money Pit," where a couple moves into a fixer-upper and soon after are set upon by a whole load of hilarious home-improvement hijinx? Things eventually end up alright for them in the end, with White Lion playing on their lawn and Shelly Long happily ensconced in her new home — but things might not have gone so well for the amateur contractors had they had a few ghosts milling about the joint. Why? The undead simply don't like renovation.
A structure with a "structure", the haunted house movie's demands are particularly specific: first and foremost, we need a predated nasty event to give the house its spirit. Then we need some idle time for the spirit to stew and ferment, and finally we need to introduce a fresh bunch of faces to the house who will no doubt try to repaint and refurbish it, and through their innocent home improvement efforts unearth the horrifying terror lurking beneath the floorboards. There is a brief period of investigation, the original murder is solved, and things return to normal (or the assholes from "the city" move away).
Though the Spanish-made thriller "Darkness" by general standards sticks to this framework, it does manage to bring some fresh ideas to what might otherwise seem a worn-out genre. I personally love haunted house films and haunted houses in general, probably because I hate cleaning and would likely feel justified in neglecting housework if there were an invisible killer always trying to knock me off ladders and shove me out of streaky windows. "Darkness" thankfully reinforces the dangers of home improvement, and along the way is able to provide some pretty effective scares and creepy atmosphere.
The film starts out by letting us know that a) this is a haunted house movie; b) this haunted house boasts dead children; and c) we will be annoyed to tears for the next 90 minutes due to frequent deafening music cues punctuating stretches of near-complete silence. This is a particularly annoying element for me – I would rather a film be silent than overscored, and personally feel that scare cues are about the cheapest way to get a jump out of someone. If it's used occasionally and effectively (as in "Tourist Trap", or "Psycho"), then I'm fine with it. But if smash-cutting and the sudden scraping of what sounds like 2000 violins crammed in a public toilet are the means to which you must resort to get under your audience's skins, you should probably revisit your script.
Fortunately, despite the clumsy over-scoring, "Darkness" is otherwise pretty solid. The story goes something like this: the plucky, otherworldly-looking Anna Paquin ("X-Men", "The Piano") plays Regina, an American-born teenager whose Spanish-born parents have relocated the family to a country house back in their native land (not to worry, everyone in this Spain "speaka the English"). A bit pissed about being yanked out of school in her senior year to get dropped into rural Iberia, Regina soon has bigger problems to deal with: namely, her little brother Paul is despondent and developing odd bruises, and her father (the "don't call me Conan O'Brien" Iain Glen) is relapsing into an apparently dangerous mental illness that her mother (the fabulously cold and set-upon Lena Olin) refuses to acknowledge. As dad gets weirder, home improvement projects like repainting and repaneling the stairs reawaken a band of 6 ghost children that were apparently killed at the house 40 years prior. It turns out that dear old dad (Glen) was the 7th intended victim but he escaped into the woods, bloodied and with enough emotional baggage to propel a century's worth of Lifetime Movies of the Week.
As Paquin dutifully goes about trying to discover the source of the house's ickiness (she can't see the wicked chilluns but can tell there's somehing up), things start getting stranger with dad, and they turn to her grandpapa (a doctor) for help. She also begins a surprisingly mature relationship with a local boy, a photographer who genuinely seems to like her despite the fact that she's American and incredibly attractive and agrees to help her investigate the house. Their search leads to a creepy old man who was involved with the design of the house, an old photo of three creepy skinny men with sunglasses, and of course, a trip to the local Casa of Records to look up the plans of the building. While this phase of the haunted house flick is generally the most tedious (we know they're going to come up with something – can't we hurry this along?!), here it's kept somewhat fresh by the continued escalation of the condition of both her father and little brother, who really aren't doing well, and the killer performance of Olin, whose ice-queen routine makes Martha Stewart look downright bubbly by comparison.
Happily, things will soon take a pronounced left turn, and through a few incredibly intense sequences, things are revealed to be very different than we may have originally been led to believe. I won't give anything away because it's really quite delicious. Suffice to say that things get very, very ugly, and no amount of spackle and drywall can cover up some of the damage that's done in this joint. There's some blood, some very well-executed scary scenes, and yes – lots more belligerent music cues. But by the third act, when the well-timed Total Eclipse takes place, plunging the house into total darkness (which we believe may give the ghosts their power), the tension is sufficiently amped for a very creepy climax, and the resolution is both appropriate and disturbing.
I will warn you, though — if you're not a fan of plot points being revealed through crayon drawings, this one won't be for you. "Darkness" does cash in a heap of spooky ghost movie cliches (scary storms, old pictures, exploring the dark house with candles), which some people will no doubt find annoying. But if you make the allowance that this is a Spanish take on the Hollywood ghost movie, with Swedish and Australian leads (much in the way that "The Others" was a South American take on the Hollywood ghost movie set in Scotland with an Australian; or "The Ring" was a Hollywood take on the Japanese take on the Hollywood ghost movie, set in Seattle with an Australian), it's a little easier to let these more tired elements slide — I certainly think the last 20 minutes more than make up for it.
If darkness were the only problem with this house, some track lighting would be the low-cost solution. But as is generally the case with haunted house movies, this home has far worse things wrong with it than poor exposure. If creepy kiddies, domestic chaos, and Spanish people speaking English are your cup of tea, try trading spaces with this joint for ninety minutes – you won't be disappointed.
