Tennis Swept In MAAC Opener
Feb. 25, 2007
Niagara Falls, N.Y. - The Loyola men's and women's tennis teams fell to Niagara in their MAAC openers this spring, falling 7-0 and 5-2 respectively in Niagara Falls, N.Y. Both teams are now 2-2 overall and return to non-conference play with George Mason this week.
The men were swept on both the doubles and singles sides, while the women played a very close match with the Purple Eagles, dropping a pair of hard-fought three-set matches that determined the final outcome.
The Greyhounds got off to a good start with a win No. 3 doubles as junior co-captains Meaghan McKenna and Mallory Tarca claimed a 9-8 victory. Niagara, however, won the doubles point with wins at Nos. 1 and 2.
In singles action, freshman Caitlyn Day earned a 6-3, 7-6 win at No. 1, and freshman Kerri Swan took the No. 2 singles match by the same score to put the `Hound up 2-1. Freshman Stephanie Dunn was edged out in three sets at No. 3 and Tarca dropped a three-set match at No. 5 as Niagara escaped with the win.
The Loyola men host George Mason on Thursday and the women host George Mason on Friday in a pair of non-conference matches at the Butler Courts.

97.9% of clients would refer friends and family to us.
I am giving ILO 5 stars entirely because Troy, my colorist, was absolutely awesome- he was super friendly, engaging, and gave me exactly what I wanted.
The stylist gave me a really great cut, but it didn't resemble the picture I provided.
Sal is the best!
Salvador and Robert the best!
Laurent is an artist as a stylist and Ado is a master of cutting edge techniques for color. The atmosphere is wonderful. You won't be disappointed if you try Ilo!
Can't say enough good things about Marcella and the staff.
I went to this Salon to hopefully correct a bad hair frosting (brassy in color). I was very pleased with the results and will go back!
Great reception from Jackie, great highlights with Troy, great blowout with Erran!!
I have been going to Ilo for over thirty years. It is a warm and fun environment and the service is excellent. Not pretentious at all. I highly recommend Ado for color and Ertan for cut. Both are really talented. Spa services are also great.
Live Marcella! The best!
Karen Seymour
My highlights came out too light, and they offered a free gloss to get them back darker.
I had a bad experience after my hair was colored. Since my normal stylist was out, I was assigned someone else who never came to blow dry my hair after it was colored, I waited approximately 40 minutes despite having multiple people check in on me to have my hair partially blown out. The front desk took off the cost of the blow dry, which was included, but really more should have been done.
The stylist is excellent. The salon is attractive, clean, and the staff friendly. Appointments are on time, and there is no waiting. It is a pleasure to go there, and my husband loves the way my hair looks.

Honda Odyssey Handles Well Both in Town and Out
Storck, Bob, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
HOT SPRINGS, Va. - Just about now we are sending the first generation of children raised on minivans to college, and carmakers have graduated into new levels as well. Now four doors have become the price of admission, and Honda breaks new ground with handling, power, and clever use of storage capabilities.
These hills between Virginia and West Virginia are sparsely populated, and since they don't have beaches or amusement parks, are not common vacation destinations, but have been resting areas since Colonial days. Natural thermal springs and verdant scenery add to the relaxed ambiance, and a smooth and capable vehicle such as the Odyssey takes all the stress out of narrow mountain roads.
Honda was one of the last holdouts for the station wagon concept, and has capitulated with the Accord-based 1999 Odyssey, now a traditional minivan in layout and size.
They were late into the sport utility market, and have collaborated with Isuzu to create the Honda Passports. (But look for a Honda-designed sport ute this year.)
Acura also uses the Isuzu Trooper to create its SLX sports ute. In order to repay the favor, they are giving Isuzu the access to their old Odyssey production line to provide an Isuzu van called the Oasis.
Front-drive minivans offer so many advantages over the traditional wagon - they are smaller externally for the same carrying capacity; they are easy to enter and load heavy objects; and they are more economical to operate. Matching the rest of the major competitors, Odyssey has always had four doors, but this larger four-door version now has sliding rather than hinged doors as on the first version.
The EX version ups the ante with both doors available with power operation. Odyssey's main party trick is the relocation of the spare tire, one of the last large components that clutters up available storage space. All others have the tire somewhere in the back storage area, usually under the floor. By opening up this space, Odyssey lets the rearmost seat fold back and down into a well to create a flat, floor-level open space.
The second-row bucket seats will fold, remove or even slide side to side to allow center or side access to the rear. This allows the traditional suburban standard 4x8 sheets to be placed flat when the center seats are removed, or even on top of folded rear seats.
Odyssey ideally fits the lifestyle of many of Honda's traditional customers. As usual, Honda makes the folding and removing mechanism simple and effortless. …

Truth can be an exasperating thing, especially when we come upon it unintentionally. However, for those who have the courage to pursue it in its purest form, truth becomes the indelible essence of their being and the lifeblood of existence as they journey ever forward into that to which they are destined.
As I write, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's powerfully effective speech to the U.S. Congress weighs heavy on my mind. I am reminded of another time and another place when the mighty Israeli army stood against what many saw as a formidable foe. It took a young shepherd boy, David, to see the truth through all the drama.
Standing eyeballs-to-bellybutton against the gargantuan man-slayer, Goliath, this boy who would one day be king boldly defied the Philistine giant before him. Standing alone in that moment, David knew in his heart he was not alone. "You come against me with a sword, and a spear," David said, "but I come to you in the name of…the God of the armies of Israel." David threw a stone, the giant fell, and Israel's foe lay defeated. more >>
Iran is the gravest danger to the U.S. and the world. Not ISIS. Not Boko Haram. Not Kony. Not Al Shabab. Iran on the path to a nuclear weapon.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to a joint session of Congress helped refocus the distracted Obama administration's attention on this rising threat. It did not force them, unfortunately, to reconsider their ill-advised course. But at least it made President Obama and Secretary Kerry respond to the case made by Netanyahu before the American people and the world.
Our attention has been distracted of late by the medieval horrors of ISIS (Islamist Savagery Inspired by Satan). They have beheaded and burned and crucified innocents in their drive to rivet the attention of the world to their barbarism and menace. Of course, ISIS must be dealt with. more >>
The Obama administration has assured the world that a nuclear-armed Iran is not an acceptable outcome of ongoing negotiations. The President stated in 2012 that "preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon isn't just in the interest of Israel, it is profoundly in the security interests of the United States." No doubt the rest of the civilized world agrees. Russia, China and North Korea are among the very few nations who support the Iranian regime achieving its long-standing ambition of fielding nuclear warheads.
Nuclear weapons in the hands of a fanatical group of Shia "Twelvers" present an existential threat to the world that has never been seen in history. President Obama and his senior diplomat and negotiator, John Kerry, seem to have decided to allow Iran to continue enriching uranium and developing warheads. The proof is that, at the end of 2013, Iran had enough enriched uranium for seven warheads. A year later (Dec 2014) they now have enough for eight. By any measure, this does not reflect progress for the US and its allies in these negotiations.

The Jewish Festival of Purim, celebrated this year on March 5th, "commemorates the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia (modern day Iran) from Haman's plot 'to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews, young and old, infants and women, in a single day.'" Instead, Queen Esther, a Jewess, stepped forward and bravely saved her people.
Tuesday on Capitol Hill, we heard about another grave threat to the Jewish people. As I sat in the House Chamber and listened to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, I heard a leader who respectfully but urgently conveyed a single, compelling message, the same message Esther gave to the Persian King Ahasuerus: the Jewish people are under threat, and need immediate help.
This was not, contrary to some press reports, a partisan event. Seated in front of me were former Democratic U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman and former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich. These men are divided over many things, but united in their understanding that the American-Israel alliance must never be compromised. more >>
A recent report reveals that the "grave humanitarian crisis" in Gaza is even worse now than it was during the Israel-Hamas war last summer. With an international embargo hampering reconstruction efforts, close to 1.8 million people are living among the destroyed buildings in the region, and facing a 70 percent unemployment rate.
"One of the most difficult parts of our trip was seeing how much people have lost hope," said Sami El-Yousef, Catholic Near East Welfare Association's regional director for Palestine and Israel. "They really could not see any bright spot at the end of the tunnel; the tunnel does not even exist for them."
El-Yousef added that the atmosphere among the locals is one of anger. more >>
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress on Tuesday and warned that a nuclear deal with Iran would leave the Jewish state in great danger. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi said that the speech left her "near tears" and was an "insult to the intelligence of the United States."
"We have been told that no deal is better than a bad deal. Well, this is a bad deal. It is a very bad deal. We are better off without it," Netanyahu told the House of Representatives chamber, which CNN said generated "deafening cheers."
"We are being told that the only alternative to this bad deal is war. That is just not true. The alternative to this bad deal is a much better deal," Netanyahu added. more >>

The present invention pertains to systems and methods involved in radiocommunication systems and, more particularly, to the calibration of reference terminals used in such systems.
The cellular telephone industry has made phenomenal strides in commercial operations in the United States as well as the rest of the world. Growth in major metropolitan areas has far exceeded expectations and is rapidly outstripping system capacity. One survey indicates that about 80% of the people who purchase mobile communication units and service subscriptions do so to enhance their personal security. Presumably, many of these subscribers would expect to use their mobile units to aid them in urgent situations, e.g., when their vehicle has become disabled or in an emergency situation requiring rapid medical and/or police response. In these circumstances it would be desirable that the radiocommunication system be able to independently determine a location of the mobile unit, particularly in the case where the subscriber does not know his or her precise location. Moreover, it is expected that the FCC will soon require that network operators forward the position of an emergency caller to the emergency service provider.
There are many techniques available to generate mobile unit location information. In a first category, the mobile unit could estimate its own position and send a message with its coordinates when placing an emergency call. This could be accomplished by, for example, providing the mobile unit with a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver that receives location information from the GPS satellite network. The mobile unit can then transmit this information to the system, which would then forward it to the emergency service provider. This requires, however, significant modification of existing mobile units to include GPS receivers, as well as additional signaling between the mobile units and base stations.
Alternatively, the base stations which transmit signals to, and receive signals from, the mobile units could be used to determine the mobile unit's location. Various techniques, including attenuation of a mobile unit's signal, angle-of-arrival, and time-of-arrival (TOA) of a mobile unit's signal at different base stations, have been suggested for usage in providing mobile unit location information. For example, using the TOA technique, at a common measurement instant, several radio base stations (RBSs) measure the arrival time of a signal received from a mobile terminal (MT) whose position is to be determined. A central computing function converts the different arrival times of the MT's signal to distances, and calculates the results to determine the position of the MT. The precision in this TOA method is determined primarily by the exactness of the burst arrival time at each RBS, with respect to a common timing reference.
A third category of strategies for locating mobile units in radiocommunication systems involves the provision of an adjunct system, i.e., a system which may be completely independent of the radiocommunication system or which may share various components (e.g., an antenna) with the radiocommunication system but which processes signals separately therefrom. This may be advantageous, for example, as an expedient solution to providing mobile unit location without modifying the large number of existing base stations in a system. For example, consider the equipment illustrated in FIG. 1 wherein the adjunct scanning units are not co-located with the base stations of radiocommunication system. Therein, a base station 1 supports radiocommunication within cell 2 and, in particular with mobile unit 3. An adjunct system, partially shown by way of adjunct scanning units 4, 5 and 6, monitors accesses to the system by mobile unit 3. When mobile unit 3 makes an emergency access, adjunct units 4, 5 and 6 can detect this emergency access by, for example, the presence of a set emergency flag in an origination message or based upon the dialed number. The adjunct units can then use the mobile unit's transmissions on either a control channel or a traffic channel to provide information to a location processing center 7. The location processing center then uses the information provided by the various adjunct units to, for example, triangulate the position of mobile unit 3 and report this position to an emergency service center 8. More details regarding exemplary usages of adjunct systems can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,327,144 to Stilp et al., entitled "Cellular Telephone Location System", the disclosure of which is incorporated here by reference.
Alternatively, as suggested above, it may be desirable to co-locate portions of the adjunct system with the cellular system to share components. Accordingly, it would be desirable to design such adjunct systems, and devices employed therewith, which are efficient, easy to install and which require little maintenance, e.g., are self-calibrating.
These, and other, drawbacks, limitations and problems associated with conventional positioning systems are overcome according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention wherein a self-calibrating reference terminal (RT) is described. The RT includes a TOA receiver which performs the dual functions of acquiring information associated with MT location and calibrating the internal time delays associated, for example, with the various antenna cables used to connect the RT with several antennas. In this way, the RT can accommodate changes in these internal time delays associated with, for example, temperature fluctuations, without requiring manual calibration.
In addition to a TOA receiver, RTs according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention include a control transceiver and an absolute time unit (e.g., a GPS receiver). When a control transceiver associated with the RT sends an uplink signal burst to the radiocommunication system, e.g., informing the system of the time-of-arrival of a burst from a particular mobile station at that RT, the uplink signal burst can also be used to make time measurements for internal calibration of the RT. For example, a portion of the uplink signal burst's energy may be captured by (1) a GPS antenna associated with the RT and (2) the RBS antenna system associated with the RT. Then, the resultant signals that propagate back through the respective antenna cables can be detected by the TOA receiver within the RT. The detection of these signals can be used to make time measurements indicative of the delays of each of the antenna cables within the RT, which delays can be used to calibrate the TOA measurements generated by the RT.
The foregoing objects, features and advantages of the present invention, as well as other features, will be more readily understood upon reading the following detailed description in conjunction with the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows a conventional adjunct positioning system and a cellular radiocommunication system wherein the adjunct scanning units are not co-located with the radio base stations of the cellular system;
FIG. 2 depicts a radiocommunication system including an RT associated with an RBS wherein the TOA receiver is disposed in the RBS;
FIG. 3 shows a system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention wherein the TOA receiver is part of the RT and the RT is connected to the antenna system of the RBS;
FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of the RT of FIG. 3 in more detail;
FIG. 5 shows a first set of time measurements associated with an exemplary calibration technique according to the present invention;
FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b) are timing diagrams used to further describe the measurements illustrated in FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 shows a second set of time measurements associated with an exemplary calibration technique according to the present invention; and
FIG. 8 is a timing diagram used to further describe the measurements illustrated in FIG. 7.
In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular circuits, circuit components, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known methods, devices, and circuits are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention.
The exemplary radio communication systems discussed herein are described as using the time division multiple access (TDMA) protocol, in which communication between the base station and the mobile terminals is performed in bursts over a number of time slots. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the concepts disclosed herein find use in other protocols, including, but not limited to, frequency division multiple access (FDMA), code division multiple access (CDMA), or some hybrid of any of the above protocols. Likewise, some of the exemplary embodiments provide illustrative examples relating to the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) system, however, the techniques described herein are equally applicable to any radiocommunication system.
One way in which an adjunct positioning system can share components with a cellular radiocommunication system is illustrated in FIG. 2, wherein an absolute time unit (ATu) is connected to each RBS. For example, an ATu connected to an RBS can be implemented as a modified MT that includes a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. In FIG. 2, system 100 includes an RBS 102 coupled to an antenna subsystem 104. Although only one exemplary RBS 102 is shown, system 100 will, of course, include a number of additional RBSs as part of the cellular communications network.
System 100 also includes a reference terminal (RT) 106 coupled by, for example, a wireline connection 108 to the RBS 102. Connection 108 can provide power for RT 106 from RBS 102 and, optionally, connection 108 can provide data communications therebetween.
RT 106 can be a modified, but otherwise, standard version MT having a calibrated transmission delay. For example, the internal delays inherent in RT 106 are predetermined and stored locally for calibration purposes, along with the delay characteristics of the antenna cable 110. Cable 110 (with the known delay) couples RT 106 to a transmit/receive antenna which can be implemented as a combined GSM transmit/receive antenna section and GPS receive antenna section.
In addition to standard MT components, RT 106 also includes an absolute time reference unit (not shown) , e.g., a GPS receiver. Consequently, the RT 106 receives highly accurate timing signals and/or absolute position information. The GPS receiver in the RT 106 can be synchronized with a phase-locked loop (PLL) in the RT. The absolute time information thus derived is used by a processor (not shown) in the RT 106 to mark precisely the instant in time when the RT transmits each burst over the air interface. The RT stores this burst timing information in local memory, and also forwards this absolute time information (e.g., burst X transmitted at time T) to the RBS 102 via connection 108 or over the air interface of the radiocommunication network. The burst timing information can also be forwarded to other network components by the RBS 102 using a standard message transfer protocol. The respective absolute burst timing information can be used to calibrate a TOA receiver 114 in the RBS 102.
One potential difficulty associated with the configuration illustrated in FIG. 2 is the need for repeated calibration of RT 106 to ensure knowledge of the time delays associated with the transmit and receive paths. For example, since RT 106 is preferably implemented using a modified version of a commercial MT and because commercial MTs are not necessarily optimized for constant time delays in their receive and transmit paths, RT 106 may require calibration during three phases--during production, during installation and during operation--in order to ensure the accuracy of the timing information supplied by RT 106 to RBS 102. Such an involved set of calibration procedures could be time consuming and expensive.
One possible solution to this problem is to build RTs using non-standard (relative to MTs) electrical components that provide for more constant time delays and, therefore, require less calibration. This solution, however, will also increase the expense of the RTs used in the adjunct positioning system.
Accordingly, FIG. 3 illustrates a portion of a combined radiocommunication/positioning system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Therein, like reference numerals have been used to refer to like elements illustrated in FIG. 2. Moreover, relevant portions of the foregoing description associated with the common elements between FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are incorporated here by reference to avoid repetition thereof. However, system 200 of FIG. 3 differs from that of FIG. 2 in several significant respects. Initially, it will be seen that the TOA receiver 214 is disposed within RT 206 as opposed to residing within the RBS 102. According to the present invention, locating the TOA receiver in the RT permits, among other things, the TOA receiver 214 to perform the dual functions of obtaining position information related to MTs and calibrating the various cable-related time delays present within the RT as will be described below. Since the TOA receiver 214 is disposed in RT 206 instead of RBS 102, RT 206 is also provided with a connection 216, e.g., a cable, to the antenna structure 104 of the RBS so that the TOA receiver 214 is connected thereto.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating RT 206 in more detail. Therein, the RT 206 can be seen to include an absolute time unit 300 (e.g., a GPS receiver), a TOA receiver 302 and a control transceiver 304. The absolute time unit 300 is connected, via a GPS antenna cable, to a GPS antenna so that it can receive timing/position related signals from the GPS system in a manner which will be well known by those skilled in the art. The TOA receiver 302 is connected, via TOA cable 216, to the RBS's antenna system 104, e.g., an array antenna. Like GPS receiver 300, the TOA receiver 302 can be implemented using any of a plurality of known receiver units and TOA algorithms. Readers interested in more detail regarding TOA units and algorithms are referred to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/839,864, entitled "Systems and Methods for Locating Remote Terminals in Radiocommunication Systems", to Raith et al., filed on Apr. 22, 1997, the disclosure of which is incorporated here by reference.
Control transceiver 304 operates to interface RT 206 with the radiocommunication system. For example, control transceiver 304 communicates with the radiocommunication system information regarding the TOA of various received signals for locating MTs, e.g., MT 306. Control transceiver 304 can be implemented using a standard transceiver as provided in MT 306. TOA receiver 302 identifies the time-of-arrival of one or more bursts from MT 306 using the absolute time reference provided by unit 300. Then, when so instructed by the radiocommunication system, control transceiver 304 receives this TOA information from the TOA receiver 302 (via a control interface between units 302 and 304) and forwards same to the radiocommunication system by transmitting a burst over the control terminal antenna cable and GSM antenna. According to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the bursts transmitted by the control transceiver 304 for positioning/location of MTs can also be used to calibrate time delays within RT 206. Switches S1 and S2 are illustrated in FIGS. 4, 5 and 7 to conceptually depict the different signals being measured, however those skilled in the art will appreciate that these signals can be isolated and identified by virtue of their distinguishing time and/or frequency characteristics and that physical switches need not be used to perform the measurements described below.
When the control transceiver 304 transmits an uplink signal burst, this burst can be used to perform measurements, which measurements can be used to calibrate the time delays of, for example, all three antenna cables shown in FIG. 4. Consider, for example, the measurements illustrated in FIG. 5. Therein, two time measurements are illustrated which can be used to calibrate the delays associated with the GPS antenna cable and the control transceiver's antenna cable. Initially, when the uplink signal burst is transmitted by control transceiver 304, switch Si is closed whereby the burst is substantially immediately detected by the TOA receiver 302 and recorded as Time0, as conceptually shown in the upper portion of FIG. 5.
When the burst propagates through the control transceiver's antenna cable and is radiated outwardly into the air interface by the antenna, a portion of the radiated signal energy will be picked up by the GPS antenna. Then, this portion of the radiated signal energy will propagate back through the GPS antenna cable to reach the TOA receiver 302 when switch S2 is closed. Thus, TOA receiver 302 will record a second time, Time1, when a portion of the uplink signal burst transmitted by control transceiver 304 is subsequently received. This permits the control transceiver 304, or some other processor within RT 206, to calculate the time delay associated with the GPS and control transceiver antenna cables as:
Tcable =(Time1-Time0)/2, assuming that the length of the GPS antenna cable equals the length of the control transceiver's antenna cable. This set of measurements can also be described in the context of an exemplary timing diagram as seen in FIG. 6(a). Therein, the upper time axis depicts the timing of the uplink signal burst as it is transmitted by the control transceiver 304. The lower time axis depicts, first, reception of the same burst by the TOA receiver 302 and, subsequently, reception of the burst after propagation through the control and GPS cables.
While the timing diagrams shown in FIG. 6(a) assume that there is no delay within the TOA receiver 302 (i.e., that the transmission of the uplink burst by the control transceiver 304 and reception of that burst by the TOA receiver 302 occur substantially simultaneously), it is possible that the time-sensitive components in the TOA receiver may also vary somewhat. If so, the TOA receiver may have its own delay as shown in the timing diagrams of FIG. 6(b). Therein, the time period Rdel represents the delay associated with the TOA receiver, i.e., the time between the transmission time T of the uplink burst and reception of that burst by the TOA receiver. As with all of the other delays which are measured according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, this delay can also be used in calibrating the RT 206.
Similar time measurements can be made to determine the time delay associated with the antenna cable linking the TOA receiver 302 to the RBS antenna system 104 as illustrated in FIG. 7. Therein, as in the foregoing example, a burst transmitted by control transceiver 304 is detected by the TOA receiver 302 as it is propagated through the control transceiver's antenna cable at Time2. Then, after being transmitted over the air interface, the uplink signal burst is captured by the RBS's antenna system 104 and detected again by TOA receiver 302 at Time3 after traveling through its own antenna cable. The delay associated with the antenna cable used to connect the TOA receiver and the RBS antenna system 104 can then be calculated as:
Receiver cable delay=Time3-Time2-Tcable
FIG. 8 is a timing diagram illustrating how the TOA receiver cable delay can be measured. Like that of FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b), the upper portion of FIG. 8 illustrates the timing of the transmission of an uplink signal burst by the control transceiver 304. Then, the lower portion of FIG. 8 illustrates the receive timing by the TOA receiver 302 of, first, the initial transmission of the uplink signal burst and, subsequently, of the portion of the signal energy captured by the RBS antenna system 104 and returned to the TOA receiver.
Having measured these various delays based upon one or more uplink signal bursts, RT 206 can use this information to calibrate the detected TOA information associated with a particular MT to be located as:
Calibrated TOA=Detected-- arrival-- time+GPS-- cable delay-Receiver-- cable delay-TOA-- receiver delay.
Those skilled in the art will now appreciate that by placing the TOA receiver 302 in the RT 206 and using it to perform calibration as well as positioning measurements, a number of advantages are realized. For example, RT 206 can now independently calibrate its internal delays whenever it transmits uplink bursts. Of course, calibration need not be performed on all transmitted bursts but may instead be performed on a subset thereof.
Moreover, exemplary embodiments of the present invention remove any need to calibrate RTs during installation since they will immediately self-calibrate upon operation. RTs according to the present invention can also be implemented using off-the-shelf control transceivers since the afore-described calibration techniques permit the introduction of time delay variances which may occur in such devices. Moreover, these calibration techniques provide for updated calibrations that enhance accuracy and enable compensation for rapidly varying parameters, e.g., temperature compensation, without additional signaling over the air interface.
The above-described exemplary embodiments are intended to be illustrative in all respects, rather than restrictive, of the present invention. Thus the present invention is capable of many variations in detailed implementation that can be derived from the description contained herein by a person skilled in the art. All such variations and modifications are considered to be within the scope and spirit of the present invention as defined by the following claims.

Brief Synopsis
While it is impossible to predict the values and beliefs of future generations, a modest forecast is made by tracing global trends in the use of language and media, as well as in the use of information and communication technologies. The potential implications of these culture and identity trends for the strength of the U.S. "signal" in the global info-communication sphere are analyzed. The author suggests that the information that will dominate the 21st century, particularly the beliefs and values of foreign societies, may increasingly and more directly impact our own national security, making it ever more critical for policymakers to understand issues of cultural change and identity formation from a strategic perspective.

"I could feel (the strength gained for cross country) on the track," said Carpowich, who played a little football his first two years and only ran cross country to become better at track. Now he favors the longer races where he gets to glide through forests and along the beach instead "just running in circles."
"Last year, I was really out of my element," Carpowich said. "But this year I feel like I'm part of the team, a member of a family of Torrey Pines runners."

I take the warning serious!!! And made some room in my mailbox ;-)
Decided to stay at Tioman's Melina Beach Resort; their beach penthouse seems good. Will report later! Olav
Good information on the accomodation. Think I might stay at Tioman Paya Resort on my next trip.
Tioman is on my list of places to visit when I visit Malaysia next month. Some useful info. Thanks.
this is very helpful post, thanks! question: how long would it take for this bus ride from Larkin to Mersing? is this a pleasant ride? thanks!
Great page, mate! Sounds like you had fun unwinding....in spite of the bland food! ;-) Not long to wait now til June - and Morocco gets my nod of approval if you're considering a trip there!
I must get to see Tioman, it is on my list of places to visit in Malaysia soon.
Paya is very diff now. Great pics.

Easily adaptable to any make and model of articulated off-highway truck as well as a number of rigid frame trucks, PHIL Rear Eject Bodies curtail the challenges associated with traditional dump bodies. In eliminating the need to raise the body of the truck, the PHIL Rear Eject series allows for safely dumping materials while in motion and in the presence of overhead barriers.
This versatility in operation increases efficiency without reducing stability by providing a lower center of gravity and allowing dumping on downhill slopes and conditions with a soft footing, enabling trucks to spread material while driving further enhances efficiency. The ability to effectively empty the truck without raising the body augments safety where overhead barriers such as power lines, roof lines or bridges may pose forgotten safety risks.

My favorites are Mandibuzz, Cohagrigus, Carracosta, Excadrill, Lilligant, Meloetta, Genesect, the tao trio, Zoroark, Emboar, the kami trio, and Haxorus since they're fun to use, have rather nice designs, and their movepools aren't too bad either.
My least favorites are the elemental monkeys, Krookodile, Jellicent, Bisharp, Watchog, Afrobull, Conkeldurr, Durant, the musketeer trio, Keldeo, Whimsicott, and Samurott due to crappy typings and designs, horrid movepools, and are overall disappointing even to face or use.
Most favorite - Mandibuzz. I can go on for hours on how much I love this bird and its abilities as a rather decent mixed wall but I'm just gonna say I love vultures and leave it at that.
Most hated - Watchog. Oh my god I despise this piece of crap that Lenora used against me to make Whitney seem like a walk in the park in comparison to this. I really don't want to say anymore than that.
Just my 2 cents there.

One of the most important—and generally overlooked—results of last week's midterm election was Republican success in increasing control of state legislatures.
In the wake of the 2014 midterm "wave election," Americans will soon find out whether they actually want what they have wrought.
All right, all right, I didn't see the wave coming. And it turned out to be a genuine wave—one with serious implications for 2016 and beyond.

A more careful look at the returns significantly complicates the narrative that an American electorate, which recently tilted Democratic, has since shifted back to the Republican fold.
This week on Truthdig Radio in association with KPFK: The "What's the Matter With Kansas?" author says Democrats blow off right-wing populism and "walk right into the buzz saw every time." Also: what to expect when you're expecting a Republican Senate, and Silicon Valley's take on indentured servitude.

Looking for reasons to vote besides party politics? Here is a quick and dirty guide to today's main events in direct democracy: the ballot measures.
Depending on which stat blog you're reading, Republicans have anywhere from a 63 to a 96 percent chance to win the Senate and take control of Congress.

California Democrat Suzanne Savary seeks to oust Orange County conservative Dana Rohrabacher from the U.S. House seat he has held since 1988—a challenge much like trying to beat the Alabama football team in Tuscaloosa.
If Republicans do as well nationwide next Tuesday as many expect, they should pay attention to what's happening in Kansas.

What's happening in the Republican primaries is less a defeat for the tea party than a surrender by the GOP establishment, which is winning key races by accepting the tea party's radical anti-government philosophy.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Republican Sen. Pat Roberts on Monday was allowed to keep his job despite a challenge brought by tea party activists claiming he spends so much time out of Kansas, he wouldn't even qualify for in-state tuition if he went back to school.
Bragging about what they've achieved is what incumbent politicians do. But as Democrats struggle to hang on to the Senate this year (and try against the odds to take over the House), they are not in the usual boasting mood.
Despite Republican claims to the contrary, things are definitely looking up. Democrats ought to be clicking their heels and spreading the good news.

As the midterm elections approach, both public opinion data and the facts on the ground are taking a significant turn.

There are two questions on every issue that every politician worries about: Do my constituents care? And, more importantly, how much do they care?
A look at the day's political happenings, including a radio host makes shocking and incendiary remarks about Hillary Clinton and Bill Maher criticizes Republicans over the issue that he says should really be causing outrage.

The Power of the opposing character is reduced by 1 points or up to a minimum of 5. If the opposing character's Power is lower than or equal to 5, then the Ability has no effect.
Your Leader Bonuses are deactivated if you have more than one Leader in your team.
he doesn't work with Montana, Uppers, All-Stars
He works with them all! Practially every clan works well with this card. Those such as Skeelz, Junta, Jungo without a defensive bonus now, and it enhances those of te aready defensive.
Rate green if you agree, rate green if you disagree. ;]
Everyone is always saying that this card can stack up against such and such, and his min is 5. But, you're not using his to his full potential. If Eyrik is teamed up with power/attack manipulators,of course thats all great. But, even better are the ones who can't manipulate power/attack for themselves.
Each time I enter ELO, or even Type 2, I got to have good power/attack modifiers. But, it dawned on me, so does everyone else.
With all the Montana Bangerz Uppers and such, everyone is depending heavily on their bonuses. That being said, switching to the pill manipulating Piranas, or those nasty life manipulating nightmares, Eyrik adds as a comfort zone by adding power manipulation, dual with theur SoBs.
This would allow you to block those bonuses, and you'll just lash out with less pill usage.
or if you're using Piranas, this makes pill manipulating so much easier.
use can still use more pillz, and get back.
even cards like scrubb with 6 power, can now lash out at Kolos.
Eyrik offers a chance to lower strong cards to weaker cards level.
and if its ELO you're in, then I'm sure you're not packing anything lower than
a 6 powered card. So his 5min, is pefect, because you can guarentee that
Eyrik can at least get the opposing card weaker than yours.
I use to have a pirana deck, teamed with Ambre as we all know her power house packed a punch
but after getting working about with Eyrik, I decided to switch over to the life stealing Nightmare clan.
I'm not saying swtich over to these clans, but understand how well the combination works of Eyrik's
ability with every clan.
but once you bonus is gone, you're dependent on that ability. That being said, if your power is lower, you're now
depending on pillz.
please rate green!
Other than what has already been mentioned, I would like to add that Eyrik is the perfect defence against Ambre, and as we know, Ambre is the first choice card for all death match players. The advantage of Eyrik is that 'he' brings down your opps power by 1 (min 5) on all four rounds, Ambre works on only two rounds (courage based). Furthermore, Eyrik has base stats of 8 power and 5 damage whereas Ambre has 6 power and 4 damage, this means Eyrik is not dependant on his ability (which works on every round anyway) whereas Ambre is, this forces Ambre players to either 1/2HKO (without the use of Ambre) or / waste a round on Ambre to have 9 power 4 damage (which is courage based) or / sacrifice Ambre and take a hit from your opp.
Eyrik is good with any clan as reducing your opps power is always desirable (remember: power X pillz = attack!!) and his min of 5 is very acceptable given how many 7/6 powered cards there are in this game (far more than 1/2/3/4/5/8 powered cards). Against Ambre he allows you to reduce her effect AND reduces your opps power on every other round which in my opinion gives you a great advantage! I find using a SOB and power manipulator clan works best with Eyrik but as has been mentioned already, Eyrik works with any other clan due to his power reduction across all rounds.
Of course, most will always rate Ambre above Eyrik but for anyone that can't afford Ambre, go get Eyrik! In death match you will need defence against Ambre and once you've got the hang of death match you'll be wondering why Ambre is so good, youll unlock her thinking she's an amazing card but after some time you'll realise Eyrik is so much safer
Nothing for him to cut his nails with on the city rooftops, eh ?
ah yes Eyrik...this guy obviously makes allstars and montanna etc. much more powerful...
but the other clans get great benefit as well
the Skeelz have there fair share of attack manipulators and Corvus a pillz manipulator-Eyrik+Skeelz = the wall
the fang pi clan is full of devastating damagers Eyrik makes them more likely to win-Eyrik=fang pi= the bulldozer
same with la juanta perhaps even better with manipulators they have like archibald
Bangers and Ulu Watu have there bonus Eyrik makes then hard to beat-Eyrik+Ulu Watu/Bangers = the fortress
Roots and GHEIST have there fair share of manipulators and power reducers Eyrik enhances them-Eyrik=GHEIST/Roots=solid and soay
Frozn have nice manipulators and an intresting bonus that could make them deadlyier with Eyrik-eyrik+Frozn=tricky and deadly
Nightmare have deadly scary abilitys but low power Eyrik helps-Eyrik+Nightmare= suberb and scary
pirhannas have many manipulators of pillz and attack Eyrik obviously is deadly-Eyrik+pirhannas=the pillz pain!
Pussycats will become almost undefeatable! now you do less damage and have your power lowered?-Eyrik+Pussycats=juggernaut
Rescue? this clan i dont think Eyrik would work well with..being a frequent Rescue user Eyrik is alright, but your better off not splashing-Eyrik+Rescue=iffy
Jungo have nothing supporting them really but a few manipulators Mindy etc. Eyrik makes them more solid-Eyrik+Jungo= hell that heals
Uppers and Sakrohm and montanna are attack manipulators..Eyrik ruduces power you get the idea-Eyrik+the manipulators=deadly beasts
beserk are actually quite well but eryik can definately make 2hkos and make it easier to win!-Eyrik+beserk=powerhouse
sentinels and Junkz sentinels and junks have many manipulators and high powered cards Eyrik just naturally helps-Eyrik+sentinals/Junkz=destruction
and last but not least Vortex...thease guys are ultimate manipulators! if they loose they get pillz back! and its hard to beat them now that your powers been lowered! -Eyrik+Vortex= reason why Eyrik is ELO banned
hope you enjoyed!
and remember...
Eyrik pwns all!
If you play him with Bangers : Blaastar Cr is a 8/8 with minus 3 opp power, now THATS called fully maximizing his ability
If you play him with Ulu Watu : Fanny makes a ridiculous wall (Like always) And Buck is even more overpowered than usual ;-;
If you play him with All Stars : There's nothing better than playing Robb Cr with Eyrik. NOTHING
If you play him with frozen : Lose with him the first round, then win with Rad. Foolproof!
If you play him with Nightmare : Now, I know what you're thinking. "Killjoy, Nightmare is a stopp opp bonus clan dumbass". But let's take a look laying him with Karrion helps further his overpowered ability. Playing him with Cutey and Mefiesto makes life gain eaiser. Playing him with Azel wrecks the opponent. Playing him with Estalt or Azgroth makes them lose even more power, and well, 1 word : Kolos.
Therefore, I conclude that Eyrik works best with Nightmare
8 Power
5 Damage
Ability : -1 opp. power min 5.
8 power,very good and 5 damage enough for use this card in the battle.Ability is good but min 5. is not good.He could be better if his ability was min 3.
He works best with All Stars clan.
According to me, Eyrik has got best art behind the Leader.
7,5 / 10 .... Good game.

Denny's Daily Zinger: Investor Creates Bogus PAC
United for American Home Ownership PAC website.
United for American Home Ownership appeal.
Last week, a story broke about the Senate Banking Committee looking to phase out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, those government-sponsored agencies that guarantee home mortgages.
Fannie and Freddie backed the home loans of millions of borrowers with lousy credit histories. The result: the $817 billion bailout by the federal government back in 2008.
Enter Bruce Berkowitz
Berkowitz of the Fairholme Capital Management Mutual Fund has big bucks invested in Fannie and Freddie. If the two disappear, so will Fairholme's money.
So Berkowitz has financed a coalition of the frightened.
Its mission: To keep Fannie and Freddie alive. The website—United for American Home Ownership—went live last Tuesday, along with full-page ads in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
The public is made to believe this kumbaya political action committee is about Chevrolets, motherhood, apple pie and love of home ownership and family.
However, no mention is made anywhere of the lurking Bruce Berkowitz and Fairholme Capltal—desperate to cover their asses.
Particularly galling is the paragraph:
United for American Homeownership (UAH) is calling on Congress to help the American economy continue its comeback—to keep America's housing market in the hands of professionals, not politicians and the big banks. [Boldface mine.]
Keep it "in the hands of the professionals" who damn near destroyed the world economy?
I may barf.
Takeaways to Consider
- United for American Homeownership is a big fat lie.
- "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public." —H. L. Mencken

Won't save anything
The app works great except it won't save my trips. When I save the trip and close the app and go back a few days later it's gone. The "download previously saved trips" button doesn't work. I emailed support but got no reply.
Great concept - Needs work
I'm on iOS 9.3.1 and when I try to enter my info, a white bar appears and I cant do anything. I have yo close the app down.
Step your game up...
Would really like to support this app, but I can't even fill out my info. Actually the only thing I can do is track rides. But what's the point if this app doesn't save them? Oh well.... Nexxxxt!!

Political Secret Societies: The Hidden Paths of Power
New Dawn Magazine: All secret societies share certain fundamental themes. Membership is restricted to those who have an abiding interest in the subject. Thus, a spiritual group will attract people seeking more knowledge of a particular teacher or type of practice. The student is aware of the subject matter in advance and will approach the group for further instruction. More rarely, an individual may be "tapped" by the group because of a perceived affinity to its purpose. In a political secret society, membership is restricted to those who share an ideological affinity with the goals the group represents. At the furthest end of the political spectrum, the mission will be revolution. Such a society will go to great lengths to defend itself. Generally there will be small semiautonomous cells working in overall concert but with cut-outs introduced at all levels to protect other members from exposure or betrayal. This type of society is represented by a contemporary group such as al-Qaeda. The infamous Weathermen of the 1960s and 1970s had a similar structure. The clandestine revolutionary model was developed and perfected by Hasan-i-Sabah, leader of the Nizari Ismaili Order of Assassins between the late 11th and early 12th centuries...read more>>>...

WOODLAND — In mid-November, Bob Smith found one of his cows dead, shot and with its throat cut, on his 50-acre Woodland farm.
Then, on Monday morning, Smith discovered that two of his cattle — a bull and a cow — had each been shot in the hindquarters with hunting arrows. The arrows were removed, he said, and both animals are expected to survive.
Yet, after nearly 50 years of working with cattle, Smith said the shootings have driven him out of the business. He said he'll soon sell off the 25 remaining members of his herd and quit.
"That's three head in the last three weeks," he said of the shootings. "I'm not going to have them suffer down there."
Smith, 68, said he ran a dairy on Caples Road near the Columbia River for 40 years, then switched less than a decade ago to raising a small beef herd.
He said Monday's incident marks the fourth time someone had killed or tried to kill his cattle in that time. A cow was shot and hauled away in a pickup a few years ago. Another was shot about six years ago and partially butchered.
This winter's incidents stand out, he said, because no one stole any beef.
"I don't understand it," Smith said. "I don't know what people are thinking about."
In the case of last month's killing of one of Smith's cows, he said, rustlers tried to drag the carcass up to a road near the dike, but failed. They smashed through Smith's fence as they escaped in their truck. Smith said the cow's belly was cut in several places, but no meat was taken.
Mike Nicholson, the Cowlitz County Humane Society's animal control supervisor, said he believes the recent incidents could be related. He suggested people with no experience slaughtering and butchering beef might be in search of food.
"It's a gutsy move," Nicholson said of the shootings. "They were really trying to put some food on the table, it looks like."
Smith has had other trouble on his farm in the last decade. A worker died on Smith's property in May 2002 after falling into a hay chopper. A barn fire killed four cows just more than a year later, in June 2003.
Nicholson said no suspects have been identified in the recent shootings, and authorities are asking the public's help. To provide information about the incidents, call Nicholson at 360-577-0151 or the Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office at 360-577-3092.
