well, he has a good point. so for all those people who have early stage cancer, they just need to wait it out, until the tumnors are protruding from their bodies. then, they could go to the er and get it lopped off.
sounds like a plan. thank JC i make enough money that my family and i don't have to vote democratic.
GO McCain!
Goodman is a moron.
Will Mr Goodman put his money where his big mouth is and drop his current health insurance - and take his kids to the ER every time they get sick...
Well said Dan.
"Mark it zero!!...You're entering a world of pain!" Oh, wait. Wrong John Goodman.
Goodman confuses the concept of being insured with the concept of available care. The fact that the emergency room is a provider of last resort does not mean they aren't insured. It means that the e/r must treat and then the tax payers must pay. It isn't really the same thing as insurance. Goodman should try that with his auto policy or his homeowners.
It is sad to see wealthy conservatives pretend to speak for the rest of us. We who are living with cancers and other major health problems know our lives depend upon having consistant good medical care. I want to see Goodman and his family live for one year using only the insurance he describes.
So everyone here thinks we have the worst healthcare in the world? Too bad all those Canadian doctors and nurses come here because they can't even make a living or pay off medical school by staying in Canada. Oh, I forgot GB has a great healthcare system...the Brits have it figured out we should follow their lead. I guess if Obama gets in the White House he'll start his foreign relations by following the world's lead on healthcare. Too bad every country uses our drugs, our expertise and our money for their programs and their problems.
Ben: We all know that there's great healthcare here. That's not the issue. The issue is that it's not available to a huge part of our population. So enough with the cliches about the best healthcare in the world, already. Many of us have NO affordable access to it.
I certainly think Goodman is going a little too far with his assertions about the uninsured. However, as a Canadian citizen who lived in the United States for about 8 years, I also found it frustrating to hear some of my fellow Canadians suggest that Americans are left to die in the streets if they don't have insurance. From my experience, including as someone who spent sometime without any health insurance, that is simply not the case. I fact a couple of times I was really sick I went to a hospital-based clinic in Boston and received excellent care, despite having no insurance at that point.
I have worked for 37 years as a nurse in all areas, from hospital patient care, ICU,Maternity, Pediatrics, ER,Surgery, & Doctors office. The statement by John Goodman is absolutely TRUE. As a matter of fact, people get a more thorough work-up & treatment in the ER than when they go to their doctors office. The reason for the wait is because a lot of people who abuse the medical care system, mostly drug seekers, waste the ER staff's time with bogus ailments, just to "score a little shot" or a prescription for pain pills. Nine out of ten of the abusers never pay a penny of the charges incurred and will return again & again, draining the hospital resources for providing medical care to actual indigent or uninsured individuals. My experience in health care qualifies me to say that universal healthcare will have the most devastating effect on healthcare that our nation has ever seen. It will be a government controlled program, just like Medicare & Medicaid, both of which are now a major failure. We, the people, need to take back our health care system, kick out the lobbyist of major insurance companies, demand affordable premiums with the coverage we need. I'm 57 but have to pay for maternity & well baby coverage on my policy because of all the mothers & children who can't afford the same coverage. By the way, when Hiliary Clinton bragged about her contribution to the healthcare system over the past 35 years & during her husbands presidency, we got HIPPA. Thirty-five years & thats what we got from the government, more bureaucracy. Does anybody really want the government deciding who gets healthcare & who does not???
Gammi M, I think you are confusing getting more testing with treatments. The ER is not the place of choice for treatments of 95% of the diseases and ailments that people get. In fact, it is a common place to get the wrong treatments. Case in point: patient comes in the ER with chest pain gets an EKG, Chest Xray, five vials of blood drawn, maybe a treadmill and gets sent home with the diagnosis of "Chest Pain". That same patient sees her PCP and after sometime and series of visits confides that she is having issues with major depression and alcoholism. Then, the treatments begins. The issue is that primary care access has suffered for so long because of the resources allocated to other fields. I also think that it is rather short sighted on your part to think that you shouldn't have to pay for someone else's prenatal care when you are obvious not at the age to need it. Where do you think that mother will bring her baby to when she goes into pre-term labor--the ER, NICU then if they "save" it...to the social security benefits at age 1. Medical care is a lot more complicated then what you have demostrated an understanding of. I do understand your frustration, but those sentiments that you expressed are not well thought out.
KP Internist,
That ED bashing makes you seem small, self absorbed and (likely) not very good. I have zero doubt that he same anecdote could be offered by ED MDs about 'poor generalist care and ignoring symptoms.'
Your post advances nothing and cheapens the discourse. hope you feel 'bigger' after writing though!
If you were paid better, you'd do a better job - do I have that correct?
Although perhaps a bit hamhanded, the point I think KP was trying to make is that the ER is a place to decide urgent questions, not the first place to take care of chronic conditions or manage the health of individuals. Its place in the health care continuum is to sort out some first line issues- does this problem demand admission for inpatient care, rapid intervention ( eg trauma) or less urgent intervention (nonsuicidal depression, chronic arthritis, non accelerated hypertension, hyper lipidemia) and can thus be streeted. The nature of these decisions and the pressure to make them fast and with few false negatives but with little limit on false positives makes the ER a highly inefficient consumer of resources by its nature. The mindset of the ER has to be this, the approach elsewhere can be broader slower and more efficient. The ER doc in the fictional chest pain patient made no mistake-it took some time for the putative super generalist to come to the right conclusion in KP's parable. The ER's inefficiency is not likely to change a lot and for this reason alone a thoughtless alternative implied by Mr Goodman. A Sort of lets declare victory and get out of here mindset. He redefines the problem and its gone. Let us forget KP's casting stones and that PA MD tossing em back. Dr PA your post is only ad hominem attacks and 'cheapens the discourse'. I am sorry for the nurse's cynicism. I work with chronic pain patients and and deal with drug seekers- it has not jaded me that much ,maybe some. Her complaint regarding covering medical problems that she will never pay for is short sighted and completely misses the boat regarding the nature of insurance. The purpose is to diffuse the cost of risk. One pays for costs that one might never incur. I would like very much to have her and not me bear the cost of uterine, ovary or breast problems , childbirth, kids never had em and cannot -prostate cancer and a fixed wife took care of that. I raised hers already. And as far as Social Security, SSI and medicare I have enough put away now that I do not wish to pay any more for freeloaders like my 83 yo Dad. And those same 20 + year olds would just as well sidestep the cost of her mammograms , age 50 screening colonoscopies and DXA's and cancer/ atherosclerosis treatment that likely will not touch them till they are in their dotage. Think some, learn a little.
BTW I was an IM/Rheum for 13 years and now Rheum alone for 12 with 3 years moonlighting in the well funded now defunct St Louis City Hosp ER
Hmmm...'broader, slower' followed by 'most efficient' - odd - defined by who?
Ad hominem attacks....hmmmm.
Nice to see that based on a bit of moonlighting in a defunct inner city ED you have decided the role of the ED; I guess non-internists or such can decide the role of outpatient offices after a 'cup of tea experience'.
Always amazed at how these post evolve into 'If I/we in general medicine and others overlapping fields got more reward, I/we'd fix things!'.
One other fact overlooked when pontificating:
Growth in ED demand last decade is as much from insured folks w/ 'PCP' as those without....suggesting that many factors including ability to and desire to evaluate folks outside a 'schedule' are limited. Anecdotes won't alter that observation. (See Weber EJ et al in recent Annals of Emerg Med- national data)
Hope that isn't seen as 'ad hominem' unless latter is code for 'Things I read that disagree with me' (an ad hominem attack on ad hominem!)
"ultimately, a form of health insurance"
John Goodman is a well-known nut-case. Utter nonsense from him. Given his perspective one could argue that self-medication without medical knowledge is a legitimate "free-market" choice that people make.
It's no knock against ED physicians to say that the ED system design excludes continuity of care.
The last ED doc with whom I worked (while on rotation, so PA MD can write that I'm just a med student who knows nothing, which is partially true) told me again & again during patient work-ups that her role is to determine if the problem is emergent. Her primary goal is to remove the emergent problem from the diagnostic picture. Beyond that, she offers symptomatic treatment (e.g., for pain) & recommends follow-up with a specialist if necessary.
Her training is broader than that (and she can quote the emergency medicine textbooks like nobody's business), but she is not equipped to manage many chronic problems. For example, she wouldn't be the doc to see to fill a monthly prescription on an ongoing basis. Moreover, she does not stay up-to-date on the latest treatments for many chronic conditions. She's a highly competent physician so if I had depression, cancer or an autoimmune condition I'd be eager to hear her suggestions but would be happiest to use my health insurance to see a specialist who could give me appropriate care.
Many ED's now qualify patients to ensure that they can pay before rendering services.
Uninsured patients with income and assets get bills for hundreds to thousands of dollars which they have to pay or face collections or bankruptcy. To add insult to injury, the bills of the uninsured are, as a general rule, 3-6 times more than the discounted reimbursement EDs receive from private insurers, Medicaid and Medicare.
If the primary function of insurance is to pay the bill, then about 47 million people are, indeed, uninsured.
It is federal EMTALA violation to screen for pymt in ED before screening for illness. Doubt it's prevalent as suggested.
Yes, it means that care after initial stabilizing - poorly defined - can be measured against payor status....with all attendant malpractice issues intact.
Medicine Girl sees the point. The ED is the Emergency Department and if we accept that the name reflects the spirit of the type of care given and even the Wikipedia does not speak of health care and emphasizes speed and urgency and not long term care then Mr Goodman's assertions cannot convert a problem into the solution. The ED is Taxed to the max and is not setup for chronic care.
I never said most efficient, my assertion was more efficient. That we can argue .
If you support Mr Goodmans assertion then you are at odds with the ACEP
http://www.acep.org/pressroom.aspx?id=40934 In summary; ACEP lambasts John Goodman.
If you are supporting Mr Goodmans 'plan', you do not seem to say, then you must be accepting of his implication that he knows the role of the ED. He states that access to the ED via EMTALA gives everyone Health Insurance of a kind. ERGO he knows the role of the ED is to provide health care. The ACEP disagrees. At the same time, my apparently limited ED experience (your 'cup of tea experience') and daily dealings with the medical system for 25+ years has given me insufficient insight into the mysterious role of the ED. I just do not know how I can function without such knowledge. The ED is therefore a 'Black Box' except to its initiated Board Certified practitioners by your implication. Strangely the ACEP's own Bylaws state that their job is to promote knowledge of emergency medicine. By analogy I cannot know of the role of Pathology or the OR or radiology. I have always wondered what those other practitioners that I depend upon did and when I work. I guess my medical school training never did orient me to those roles.
You keep on referring to income (=the euphemism 'rewards')- I never mentioned income. KP never mentioned income he mentioned resource allocation, in part income but a bit more I hope. I left the primary care/subspecialty care mix for lifestyle reasons. What is with the income theme?? To quote your closing irrelevant misdirections :
Always amazed at how these post evolve into 'If I/we in general medicine and others overlapping fields got more reward, I/we'd fix things!'.
If you were paid better, you'd do a better job - do I have that correct?
Even the ACEP admits there is a PCP pay imbalance see para 2 of the home model position statement. http://www.acep.org/practres.aspx?id=40804
The point made by those who will not benefit in the health care debate is that changing the individual rewards of the PCP will in the aggregate affect the numbers of PCPs but of course will have little effect on the quality of care provided by any one individual. See
Now I edited out my income,education and malpractice info so as not bore or irritate anyone but I make plenty of money- enough to be nicked by Obama's tax plan and have nothing in the National Database after 25 years practice in 2 "judicial Hellholes" MS and Madison County, Il. Sorry
By the way the ACEP is quite credible- I intend no disrespect but quote them for support.
MS Rheum,
Wow...lotta time on your hands!
I do not recall supporting Good man in any post...just noted some common 'pseudo-truths'.
ACEP positions or thoughts not withstanding, this post is not about getting more pay for PCPs...it about current role of ED, and one "experts" opinion (and in my view, idiotic) of 'ED as insurance surrogate'. The truth is, EDs exist because of need, and paying PCPs more will not fully resolve that (unless of course, services are being systematically withheld.)
This expert is clearly an idiot. He knows not what he knows not.
This is the typical right wing ideology toward health care. When the inevitable symptoms of that emerge, the only idea is to spread the costs onto others. Healthcare should indeed be purchased by everyone, even if it means some subsidy. However that does not mean everyone should get everything. Until we accept this point we will continue the hypocrisy of the current system.
As for the issue about PCP pay. It is inextricably linked to the ER issues. As for the insured patients coming to the ER out of hours, well, many doctors nowadays have started to look at their practices as 8-5 offices. Insurers do not reward them adequately for the comprehensive care and so the freebies are no longer provided. Out of hours care is one casualty. So is Inpatient care by the PCP, so is the lengthy 20 minute appointment, etc etc. When the PCP makes the effort and saves the insurer money, there is no reward, but the insurer pays the 800 dollar ER bill. So you know what...............that is just the way it is. Is there a better way, sure there is, but the insurance industry has so deeply alienated PCPs that they have a lot of work to do to mend things and make that career choice attractive. It is not even clear they realize or want to do this.
I agree with the assertion that mandated medical screening and stabilization that ED's have to provide is a type of health insurance.
Point is that one cannot walk into any office or subspecialist office without having a proven ability to pay - insurance or self pay.
Guaranteed access with screening and stabilzation means that everyone has catatrophic health "insurance".
I agree that it is not the same as buying insurance. But so what. All insurance have limitations and exclusions.
Besides, having insurance still doesn't guarantee certain services. For example, state insurances like OHP in Oregon will not pay for removal of gallbladder, even with recurrent symptoms , until the pt is sick in the ED.
Plenty of insurance companies screen and ration care such as MRI's, that are more easily obtained in an ED. How about insurance plans that set a maximum lifetime cap.
Universal access is a good thing, but it doesn't change the fact that nothing in life is free. Somebody is paying.
It would be a far worse thing not to have this type of universal insurance
It certainly doesn't mean
Like i keep saying....show me the PCP who will see my family regularly after I get off work....millions can't afford to miss it nowadays....and I'll be happy to go to him at 7 pm.
Oh wait...there aren't any.
At NCAL KP, we staff night and weekend clinics everyday as a service to our patients and to keep people out of the ER. It is not meant for routine care and is not a substitute for treatment with a patient's PCP, but is understandable that some patients require this to maintain their health. On a given 1/2 day shift, a internist will see about 16 patients and 32 patients on a weekend with 2 shifts (there are usually at least 5 of us here and somtimes 12 if there is expected great demand). I estimate that would be around 15 patients that didn't go to the ER per weekend day. It is not that they would get adequate care for most things in the ER. It is just a absolute waste of resources for them to go there. It takes much longer and does nothing but frustrate patients. The ER doctors can do the emergent treatments of patients that need it and I can more appropiately treat patients with non-emergent illnesses. I agree with MS Rheum, people don't understand the value of having good access to PCP care until they have been on the patient end of an ER visit for a non-emergent problem. To echo PA MD, I don't know what you do for a living, but the notion of being able to bring your family to a routine visit after 7 pm, will never happen. We barely have enough primary care doctors who are will to work regular hours.
I don't know much about doctoring, but I do know about government programs. Just off the top of my head, here are some ideas that might minimize government control over your personal healthcare, by displacing government intervention into less intrusive areas.
--subsidize medical school. Less debt, lower cost to patients.
--subsidize malpractice insurance. Lower costs, lower patient costs.
--subsidize ED costs so they can operate like community clinics instead of profit centers. I know they don't make money anyway, so might as well restructure the ED to maximize their usefulness WITHOUT the burden of trying to pay it's way. Don't even consider them part of the profit-base.
--do all the above and it might still cost less than universal healthcare and it would be much less intrusive to everyday patients - us.
A tongue-in-cheek blog posting by John Goodman is now being used to accuse him of not caring whether people have health insurance. Goodman and his colleagues at the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) have been studying how to create universal health coverage for 25 years.
If you search the NCPA Web site with the words "insuring the uninsured," you will come up with 174 documents that address just that one issue. The best article is "Solving the Problem of the Uninsured," which appeared in the Thoracic Surgery Clinic Journal: http://cdhc.ncpa.org/learn/solving-the-problem-of-the-uninsured-john-c-goodman-june-2005-thoracic-surgery-clinics
I trained in internal medicine in ATlanta in the mid '80s. Residents of Fulton or DeKalb County could be treated at Grady regardless of health insurance -- nonresidents could not. As a medical resident I treated working patients without insurance who had cancer in a small clinic staffed gratis by an oncologist. These were people like my family, my friends, working people who had no insurance, sometimes after divorce, or a job loss -- small business owners. One young man with metastatic testicular CA whose family took out a 2nd mortgage on their home and held car washes trying to raise money to send him out-of-state for surgery at a University that wanted at least $50K up front to operate. The VA had exclusion criteria -- you don't necessarily get treated unless you are service-connected, etc., -- but if a man had cancer and was a vet they treated regardless -- and a good thing, given all the uninsured. In some areas the VA has to be much more exclusive -- somebody has to pay the bills. You really don't know how this plays out until you live it.
George BUsh Jr's commissioner of insurance while he was governor of Texas commented when criticized for the lack of insurance in the state: " All anybody has to do to get treated in Texas is go to an ER." I thought that was a flaming example of what an idiot GB was -- somehow I thought no one with any information could think such a thing -- glad to hear this was a tongue in cheek comment. Try getting your prenatal care at an ER, or having your diabetes or hypertension treated.
In my two years as a ER doc, I spent hours on the phone trying to line up followup for patients on Medicaid -- could not get any specialists to see these patients -- It and many of these other scenarios were real eye openers.
Hello. Fantastic employment. I did not anticipate this on the Wednesday. This is a superb tale. Thank you!

- More than half of patients (67 percent in CARE-MS I and 55 percent in CARE-MS II) who received LEMTRADA in the pivotal trials and enrolled in the extension study were still relapse-free through the first year of the extension study.
- In the first year of the extension phase, the annualized relapse rate for patients who received LEMTRADA in the pivotal trials was 0.24 and 0.25, comparable to the annualized relapse rate for those patients in CARE MS I and CARE-MS II, respectively.
- Through year three, 72.4 percent of patients in CARE MS I and 70.0 percent in CARE MS II had improved or stable disability as measured by EDSS.
- At three years, 88 percent and 80 percent of patients who received LEMTRADA in the pivotal trials, respectively, did not experience six-month confirmed sustained accumulation of disability.
- More than 80 percent of patients treated with LEMTRADA in the pivotal studies did not receive a third course of treatment within a year of entering the extension study.

ABSTRACT: To efficiently support the transmission of terrestrial and mobile services within the same spectrum over the Digital Television Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcasting (DTMB) system, a flexible multi-service datacasting scheme in a backward compatible manner is proposed. Using this scheme, the conventional DTMB receivers work as usual by simply selecting the specific terrestrial DTV programs on the basis of the package identifier (PID) checking, while only the desired mobile service data are processed by the mobile receivers via the designed control signals. Both theoretical analysis and computer simulation show that, at acceptable spectral efficiency penalty, the proposed method not only supports the embedded transmission of multi-services with no reception performance degradation for the traditional terrestrial broadcasting service, but also flexibly provides much better mobile reception performance.
Conference Paper: Novel Multi-Service Datacasting Scheme over DTMB System[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To efficiently accommodate the terrestrial broadcasting service and the mobile service within the same spectrum over Chinese Digital Television Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcasting (DTMB) system, a novel multi-service datacasting scheme in a backward compatible manner is proposed in this paper. In this scheme, an equivalent QAM (E-QAM) mapping method is adopted for mobile services. Moreover, to reduce the impact of the larger peak to average power ratio (PAPR)caused by the E-QAM, a random constellation extension (RCE)technique is further proposed. Both theoretical analysis and computer simulation show that this scheme not only supports the normal reception of the traditional terrestrial broadcasting service in DTMB receivers, but also provides better mobile reception performance at acceptable spectral efficiency penalty.
Conference Paper: The novel approach to support multimedia services over DTMB system[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Digital Television/Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcasting (DTMB) is announced as the Chinese Digital Television Terrestrial Broadcasting (DTTB) standard. In the conventional applications, all the transport streams (TS) from various programs are multiplexed in the level of TS packets. Therefore, all the programs should take the same interleaving, constellation mapping and channel coding, and hence the same quality of service (QoS). Moreover, due to the impact of convolutional interleaver, the receiver needs to be turned on all the time to obtain the designated data on the received signal. In this paper, the concept of physical sub-channel (PSC) for DTMB system is introduced and the method to support services with different QoS is addressed. Based on the two techniques, a novel approach to support multimedia services over DTMB system with the existing receivers untouched is proposed and evaluated by computer simulation.
Conference Paper: Iterative Channel Estimation for Unique-Word Based Single-Carrier Block Transmission[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Accurate channel estimation is essential for coherent single-carrier (SC) block transmission systems. In this paper, we propose novel iterative algorithms for estimating the channel impulse response (CIR) in SC block transmission systems by exploiting a unique word (UW) extension. The interference caused by the data to the UW is removed from the received signal by first equalizing the data using a previous channel estimate, and then subtracting the estimated interference signal from each received signal block. Erasure decision is used to improve the performance and the effects of error propagation is reduced. Simulation results show that the proposed channel estimation method brings good BER performance with fast convergence over frequency-selective slowly fading channels.
Conference Paper: Channel estimation for cyclic postfixed OFDM[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Novel channel estimation algorithm is presented in this paper for the recently proposed cyclic postfix based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Phase equalization with the erasure decision is used to reduce both the channel estimation error and the computational complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed channel estimation algorithm can effectively estimate the channel impulse response (CIR) and the performance of the proposed phase equalization with erasure decision is comparable with the minimal mean square error (MMSE) equalization but offers less computational complexity.
Conference Paper: Novel decision-aided channel estimation TDS-OFDM systems[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Accurate channel estimation is essential for coherent signal transmission. This paper presents a novel channel estimation algorithm for time-domain synchronous orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (TDS-OFDM) systems with identical pseudo-noise (PN) sequence padding. Simple cyclic reconstruction and tail cancellation methods are proposed to estimate the channel impulse response (CIR). Phase equalization and partial hard decision on the received data symbols are used to improve the estimation performance. Simulation results show that the proposed channel estimation algorithm brings good BER performance (approaching the ideal case) with fast convergence (no iteration required) over frequency-selective slowly fading channels.

ABSTRACT: Digital terrestrial multimedia/television broadcasting (DTMB), which is the recently released Chinese digital television terrestrial broadcasting (DTTB) standard, uses guard intervals padded with known pseudo-noise (PN) sequences for multi-carrier or single-carrier block transmission. Well designed synchronization algorithms are a prerequisite for achieving high-quality multimedia transmission. In this paper, a novel frame synchronization technique, which is robust to carrier frequency offset (CFO), is proposed for DTMB systems. This technique is derived through segmenting the local PN sequence into M contiguous blocks and performing multiple cross-correlations with the received signal. The metric for peak detection is defined as the non-coherent summation of the M cross-correlation magnitude outputs. Moreover, a low-complexity frame synchronizer based on segment-based full correlation for PN420 mode in DTMB system is proposed. It is shown through computer simulation that the proposed techniques generally outperform the conventional ones when CFO occurs, over both AWGN and frequency-selective fading channels. For a DTMB system using PN420 mode, the maximal allowed CFO to keep system still working normally of our proposed schemes are more than 3 times larger than that of the conventional method.
Conference Paper: Iterative Channel Estimation for Block Transmission with Known Symbol Padding - A New Look at TDS-OFDM[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study proposes an iterative channel impulse response (CIR) estimation scheme for multicarrier block transmission with known symbol padding, in the context of the time-domain synchronous OFDM (TDS-OFDM) system. It is shown that the TDS-OFDM still fulfils the circular convolution relationship even if pseudo-noise (PN) sequence is used as guard interval. While conventional methods perform the channel estimation based on the cyclic prefix reconstruction or residual intersymbol interference cancellation in the time domain, by processing the data part and the known symbol padding in one TDS-OFDM block separately, the new proposal uses the one- tap frequency-domain equalization to separate the data part and the known symbol padding and the CIR can be estimated in an iterative manner. In a typical example for 3780-point FFT based TDS-OFDM system with 16QAM constellations, the mean square error (MSE) of of the proposed channel estimator can be reduced to about 10-5/2 after two iterations when the channel signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is larger than 8 dB, without the initial CIR estimation. The BER performance of a QPSK TDS-OFDM system shows that the signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) degradation based on the proposed channel estimator is less than 0.3 dB compared with the lower bound for both Brazil A and B channels.

ABSTRACT: As one of the most common linearization techniques, adaptive digital predistortion minimizes the difference between the input signal of the predistorter and the feedback signal from the power amplifier. The loop delay between these two signals must be controlled precisely so that the convergence of the predistorter should be assured. In this paper a novel two-stage loop delay correction scheme is presented. In the first stage, the integer delay between the input signal and the feedback signal is estimated based on the cross-correlation of them. In the second stage, the fractional delay between these two signals are corrected by a delay lock loop (DLL) circuit, in which a novel timing error detector used as the discriminator is proposed. The proposed loop delay correction scheme is applied to an adaptive digital predistorter in an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Simulation results show that the proposed loop delay correction method eliminates the loop delay perfectly, so that nearly optimal power spectral density (PSD) performance is achieved and a high degree of linearization is realized.

ABSTRACT: The implementation of OFDM system suffers from the effect of phase noise (PHN) generated by local oscillator (LO), which disturbs the orthogonality among subcarriers and causes intercarrier interference (ICI). In frequency domain, the received signal can be formulated as the circular convolution of the transmitted signal and the ICI weighting function. In this paper, the symmetric conjugate property of the ICI weighting function is investigated. Based on that, the ICI self-cancellation of symmetric data-conjugate method is studied to suppress PHN. A new ICI cancelling demodulation (ICD) scheme with frequency diversity combining is proposed. Under flat fading channel, the carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR) improvement from this proposed method is larger than 22 dB, and can tolerate a phase noise with standard deviation of 7 deg when BER is 10-3. In frequency selective fading channel, the proposed method is shown to be able to offer significant diversity gain

ABSTRACT: The implementation of OFDM system suffers from the effect of phase noise generated by local oscillator (LO), which disturbs the orthogonality between subcarriers and causes intercarrier interference (ICI). In this paper, the symmetric conjugate-negative property of the ICI weighting function is found. Based on that, the ICI self-cancellation of symmetric data-conjugate method is studied to suppress phase noise. The carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR) improvement by this method is shown to be larger than 22 dB in flat fading channel. For a BER of 10-3, this method can tolerate a phase noise standard deviation of 7 deg in flat fading channel. Moreover, this method could offer frequency diversity gain in frequency selective channels. Both analytical and numerical results show that this method outperforms the conventional schemes
Conference Paper: Phase Noise Suppression in OFDM systems in Presence of IQ Imbalance[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The implementation of OFDM system suffers from the effect of phase noise and IQ imbalance, which disturb the orthogonality between subcarriers and cause intercarrier interference (ICI). When treated separately, effective algorithms, such as the ICI self-cancellation scheme, exist for suppression of phase noise as well as IQ imbalance. However, with both effects present, such algorithms do not lead to effective suppression. In this paper, we propose a novel technique to jointly combat the IQ imbalance and phase noise at baseband. An IQ imbalance estimation and compensation module, which is robust against phase noise, is added in the ICI self-cancellation based OFDM system. After the IQ imbalance has been compensated in the time domain, the ICI self-cancellation scheme of data-conjugate method is used to suppress the phase noise and the residual IQ imbalance. This scheme has a fast convergence and a nearly optimal BER performance even for large IQ imbalance in AWGN channel. In multipath channel, even for large IQ imbalance, this joint suppression scheme offers frequency diversity gain and as a result, the BER performance surpasses that of the conventional OFDM system without IQ imbalance and phase noise
Conference Paper: Propagation Characteristics of Distributed Transmission with Two Synchronized Transmitters[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The distributed radio transmission scheme can improve signal coverage, as the single frequency network (SFN) for DTV broadcasting. However, the propagation characteristics of the distributed transmission in SFN have to be studied carefully for they are different from conventional single transmission cases. In this paper, the field measurement carried out in a rural SFN with two synchronized transmitters is reported. It is found that, on the one hand, the radio signal coverage of the distributed transmission scheme has been distinctly improved with the total transmitted power by multi-transmitters as same as compared single transmitter system; and, on the other hand, the power delay profile (PDP) has shown rather different features than the single transmission cases, in which there are long delay "echoes" and could not be modeled simply by exponential decays because of the existence of distributed transmitters. The parameter called "transmission gain" has been introduced in order to extend the concept of "path gain" to the distributed transmission cases and, the tapped delay line is used to model the average PDP in the distributed transmission cases

I'd like to provide my client with the option to include shortened URLs when using the Sharing buttons to share on Twitter.
How can I include this?
I found this article: http://skipsloan.com/wordpress-wp-me-shortlinks-in-tweets-using-jetpack-1-5/
However, the steps no longer work in 1.7, except for if you use the Official buttons. What if my client decides to switch them to a different style at some point? Also, if I modify the .php file directly, it will be overwritten when my client updates Jetpack at some point after I deliver the site.
Is it possible to request implementation of this feature? It seems logical, especially since Jetpack touts that the wp.me shortlinks are now included to "make sharing easier".
Thank you for your assistance.

Picture: Rainn Wilson 2012 Film Festival - Middle Of Nowhere Premiere held at Regal Cinemas L.A. Live Los Angeles, California - 20.06.12
As the end of The Office is nigh, it was expected that various spinoff shows would be tried and tested. The idea that got farthest is The Farm which even had a pilot made. The Farm would have followed Rainn Wilson's character Dwight Schrute, who was the American equivalent of Gareth from the UK version of the comedy, with a setting of a bed and breakfast run by Schrute.
Despite the filming of the pilot, Wilson has now confirmed via Twitter that the show will not be taken any further. "Farm Update: NBC has passed on moving forward with The Farm TV show. Had a blast making the pilot - onwards & upwards!" He said, adding "PS Keep watching the AWESOME final season of The Office. Many surprises & hilariousities coming!" NBC have not yet confirmed this cancellation, but there's no reason an actor would downplay his own comedy series. Luckily, fans will still get to see the pilot as it is reportedly set to be aired alongside the current and final season of The Office. It was also going to star Majandra Delfino who played Dwight's sister Frannie, and Thomas Middleditch who was playing his brother.
Other shows that have been cancelled include Anderson Live! But many more shows have been re-contracted including Elementary, Vegas, Homeland, X-Factor and Arrow.

Digitimes Research: Top-6 Taiwan LCD driver IC companies post revenue gains in 2Q14
Tony Huang, DIGITIMES Research, Taipei [Wednesday 20 August 2014]
Revenues for the six main LCD driver IC companies in Taiwan reached NT$28.18 billion (US$940.04 million) in the second quarter of 2014, up 13.1% on quarter and 4.1% on year, according to Digitimes Research.
Shipments of LCD driver ICs alone by the top-six makers totaled NT$23.55 billion in the second quarter, increasing 10.4% from the previous quarter.
In terms of applications, sales of small-size LCD driver ICs were up 13.6% sequentially in the second quarter compared to a 6.9% growth enjoyed by medium- and large-size LCD driver parts. Shipment growth rate and values of small-size driver ICs will continue to be higher than that of the medium- to large-size driver ICs in the third quarter.
However, shipments of medium- and large-size LCD driver ICs for Ultra HD TV applications are expected to soar 105% sequentially in the third quarter although the ratio of Ultra HD TVs to total LCD TVs still remains low.
Since the third quarter of each year is a peak season for the IT industry, ability for LCD driver IC vendors to secure sufficient wafer capacity at foundry houses will be essential for the makers to stabilize their shipments as well as to ramp sales growth.
Meanwhile, due to a rebound in demand for low-cost smartphones in China in the third quarter, ILi Technology (Ilitek) will take the opportunity to ramp up its shipments of WVGA driver IC parts. Himax Technologies is also expected to see its shipments of LCD driver ICs for smartphone applications pick up stream in the third quarter thanks to a rebound in orders from clients in Korea.

Best Chinese Restaurant (2006)
Hong Kong City BBQ
Hong Kong City isn't the fanciest Chinese restaurant around, though the small, simple room is warm and inviting enough. With the arrival of some more ambitious and diverse Chinese eateries in the area, their Hong Kong and Cantonese cooking is no longer as exotic as it once may have seemed either. But Hong Kong City is like a river, flowing along steadily as the latest trends come and go. It's nigh impossible to have a bad meal here, with impeccably fresh seafood, perfectly cooked vegetables, a light touch with frying, and just-right sauces. You'll go back for the sublime casseroles, the pan-fried noodles, the scallops in black pepper sauce that melt in the mouth, the sautéed greens. And though they have the usual lunch combo specials, dim sum is available daily too.

Bathroom dirty. Bed not made to an acceptable standard and pillow smelt of previous client. Window would not close so room was freezing.

An unpleasant introduction to Jordan.

Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia offered a passionate defense of young tackles Nate Solder and Marcus Cannon on Wednesday, saying that "all young tackles struggle on plays and protections in this league" while talking about the second-year Solder, who has taken over at the left tackle spot for Matt Light, who retired following the 2011 season.
"I think Nate Solder's a better player today than he was all of last year. So you figure that out," Scarnecchia told reporters. "Next question."
Scarnecchia recalled the rookie year of Matt Light, who replaced four-time All Pro Bruce Armstrong in 2001.
"I think all young tackles struggle on plays in protection in this league," Scarnecchia told reporters. "Just do a little thinking. Who did Matt Light replace? Bruce Armstrong. Did any of you think it would be easy? Did you think [Light] had any problems with it to start with? Well hell yeah, they all had problems. I mean, it is what it is.
"Personally, I'm really pleased with the way they're developing," he said of the offensive line. "Is it the finished product? No. And we got a couple more weeks to get it to as good as it can be and then we're going to play. We're going to play a game. Nate started for us at right tackle last year. Marcus (Cannon) played some and it is what it is. We'll put our best players on the field and we expect nothing but their best."

Open Ice: A couple of Coyotes worth picking up

a mistake on my part
" That must give Fergie Jr. a real warm, fuzzy feeling inside. This may be the beginning of a change in Toronto, following reports that coach Paul Maurice is also on the hot seat. Bryan McCabe, Tomas Kaberle, Vesa Toskala and Jason Blake are all players who could ...

Raiders' Traub wins 2 titles
With video report
|Torrington High swimmer Matt Traub won the 200-IM state title at the Class M state meet Tuesday at Wesleyan University. (Steven Lewis/RA)
MIDDLETOWN — Torrington's Matt Traub won two individual state titles on Tuesday afternoon at the Class M boys swimming state championship, helping the Red Raiders to finish third overall in a field that included 23 teams.
The NVL was well-represented at Wesleyan University, boasting not only Torrington (361 points), but also Watertown (212 points), which held its own by finishing 11th at the end of the day.
Though Brookfield easily won the meet, it was Traub who outperformed all other individuals. The Torrington junior was the only swimmer to win two individual titles, which were the 200 yard IM and the 100 yard backstroke. It was due to Traub's relentless performance that a top-five finish for the Red Raiders was even feasible.
"It's great to be here. It's a step up from the NVL," said Traub about the meet. "There is a lot of good competition and racing against faster guys helps to push you more."
Traub's first win of the day was in the 200 IM, where his final time of 1:54.26 beat his time in preliminaries by four full seconds. He edged Brookfield's Nick Miller by one second, earning revenge from Miller's victory last year in the states.
When asked about that specific race, Traub said, "It was a little nerve-racking. Nick is a great competitor. We've known each other for a long time. He beat me last year so it was going to be a good race. I was looking forward to it."
Torrington received additional help from junior Jack Wassik, who finished sixth in the 200-yard freestyle and second in the 500-yard freestyle (4:46.03).
The Red Raiders' duo of Traub and Wassik, along with seniors Griffen Pelkey and Brad Nichols, teamed up to earn second in the 200 medley relay and fourth in the 400 freestyle relay.
Out of a possible 120 points that could have been earned in both relays, the Red Raiders received 104, clinching their top-three spot in Class M.
Halfway through the meet, Torrington was in third place in the standings and Traub seemed to be satisfied with that result if that is how it would stay.
"We were looking at it and saw we were in third place. We were real happy with that so if we can hold third, that would be great," he said.
Mission accomplished.

The Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM Lens for Nikon covers a wide-angle to medium telephoto range that works well on both full frame and crop frame sensor cameras. a Hyper Sonic Motor delivers high speed focus and is quiet enough to use during video recording.

UFC Demetrious Johnson retains UFC flyweight title but controversially escapes deducted point for illegal knee
Demetrious Johnson remains the UFC flyweight champion, but needed five rounds to stamp his authority on challenger John Dodson, who brought thrills and skills and put the title holder down three times in spite of going on to lose by unanimous decision.
The outcome may have been different had Johnson been deducted a point for an illegal knee in the fourth round, just as he was turning the tide in a highly-competitive title contest.
Johnson was more aggressive in this contest, fighting off the front foot, relentless in his pursuit of defending the gold. The fight billed as the fastest bout in UFC history lived up to the preamble.
Johnson was hurt early on, but battled through and used his Muay Thai clinch decisively to slow and bloody the challenger. Yet Dodson will be champion at some point, based on the power and explosiveness he possesses. His infectious personality and lightness of being will continue to win him a legion of fans.
Johnson was dropped by a left hand in the opening round, floored again by two lefts in the second, and had Dodson come forward more, and capitalised, he may have reversed the outcome.
An illegal knee early in the fourth round caused controversy, with referee John McCarthy not deducting a point after a knee to the head of Dodson as he kept his fingertips on the ground, trapped and doubled up against the Octagon wall.
Johnson got a warning, the fight continued, and having seen the opening, the champion employed the Thai clinch, against which Dodson appeared appeared incapable of breaking free from, or defending.
Yet the display by the two 125lb fighters was thrilling. I had them all square coming into the fifth round, which was clearly won by the champion. I gave Dodson rounds two and three.
Once he'd found his rhythm, Johnson was unstoppable. He hammered in knees for the final minute of the fourth round, and kept those attacks up through the fifth round.
The knees were relentlessly drilled into the head, body and legs of the challenger. When the final bell tolled after 25 minutes, Johnson had fought like the champion and was rightly adjudged so, by unanimous decision. Dodson had his successes and will come again. Indeed, we may even see a trilogy between this pair.

Raw Chocolate Nibs
Posted by Reviewer1378372 on Dec 13, 2009
The cacao Nibs I purchased from you were fresh and moist. Not old and dried out like the nibs I've been buying at Whole Foods.
So good
