IN KEEPING with the fact that everything Gov. Chris Christie does is outsized, his mea culpa yesterday morning was a mea maxima culpa - in a televised newscast clocking in just shy of two hours in which he threw a top aide under the bus, then backed up and drove over her again . . . and again . . . and again.
He insisted that he was blindsided and knew nothing about the fact that a key member of his administration, Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Kelly, played dirty with the mayor of Fort Lee, N.J., by closing down George Washington Bridge lanes, wreaking havoc on traffic for days. This was apparently payback for the Fort Lee mayor's refusal to endorse Christie for re-election.

Skip to comments.Feds Pull 3D-Printed Gun Design from Web
Posted on 05/09/2013 4:59:05 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
click here to read article
Well duhm, the feds would pull plans for making a pointed stick off the internet if they thought they could get away with it...
Somebody has to explain to me — what gives them the legal authority to do this to the guy.
So how many got out to the public? LOL
I'm sure somebody here has the file saved to print the gun...please link it.
It's not a Second Amendment issue.
It's a First Amendment issue.
Get it to the USSC ASAP.
This is exactly the kind of speech the First Amendment was intended to protect.
The First Amendment ain't about protecting porn.
It's about protecting political speech, and instructions on how to build firearms is political speech.
I've still got a t-shirt. I wear it to get my DL pic taken.
Authority? We don't need no steenkin' authority !
That's exactly right.
The plans were in a thread here just the other day. And does Mr. Obama actually think those are the only people on Earth who can figure out how to print a firearm on a 3-D printer? Hilarious!
Fedzilla doesn't realize....what's put on the Internet stays on the internet.
I read that the first day saw 50,000 downloads of the plans.
You can learn everything you need to know about making a gun from your average 8 year old palestinian. Suggest using common sense for the sake of safety.
I saw them make a wooden cannon on mythbusters.
Humans have been doing it for over 500 years.
I think I was #37488...
I've already passed on copies as well.
Suck it Kerry.
I pulled mine direct download. Had a bunch of people ask for it around work, server share.
And I know at least one on Tuesday...I'm just sayin'
Ah I see; I was hoping that it'd been torrented, decentralized sharing/distribution and all.
It's out there on torrent though.
Don't know if it still works. Good luck...
Thank you.
...power....the unlimited power of the government's printing press and the slavish compliance of the government's lawyers... everything is possible under the Zeroista regime....
The fart is out of the outhouse now.
That file is all over the world.
No way Baraq and Big Sis are gonna have any effect on it.
Download a bit torrent client (I use bitlord) and you can find it.
I did earlier today.
Now that the files are out there, they're out there for good.
Double win!
There is no stopping the places they will be available
Magnet link for the .
Magnet Link for the .
The Liberator has a Chinese readme, in addition to the English.
I cannot vouch for the file/design in either of these because I don't have a 3D printer.
I downloaded and looked at the zip. It's legit. It's a very nice piece of work. They tell you to epoxy 6 oz of steel to the frame so that it will be legit.
This is a fascinating beginning.
The power of the federal government. Anybody still think we live in a constitutional representative republic?
No more slingshots either! Or rocks!
What about pointed sticks?
Any .com, .org, .net, etc. can be taken down by government agencies in the US.
This is why many companies are not relocating their servers overseas under a different extension that is not in the US jurisdiction.
Got cell phone? They have a tower ping map of everyone's location on record. They can't find their asses with both hands, but they can map your every motion through cell phone records, banking transactions, and the rest of the standard regulatory records in their central databases.
... and the next step will be to put tracking chips in currency. Oh, then there are the quiet megabucks they've given to "upgrade" video surveillance systems ( as long as they have an active feed) to cities and corporations across the country.
Rand and Orwell were prophets.
All internet traffic, from sites, to texts, to twits, to posts are recorded, as are all phone calls. That's why they have built the vast data suppository in Utah. We don't need no steenkin warrants!
I guess you could sit in your basement and send encrypted smoke signals, but you'd only be inviting a visit from the EPA.
Links to get the files, and lots of snark on the whole situation at:
Catalog of teh Burning Stoopid: Weapons-Grade Burning Stoopid
Why would FEDGOV worry about this modest plastic gun while real, more powerful guns are still available? It can only be the printed gun represents a threat to their plans, and therefore, their plans MUST be that no-one will have real guns.
Thread got locked. Ping to post 40 above.
The recent scrapping of the 1st and 2nd Amendments to the Constitution.
That's like pulling cigarette papers because someone might roll a blunt with them!
Quick guys, push that Genie back into the bottle. We can do it!
The plans on the website served their purpose. They are widely distributed now and will turn up from time to time on the web, on foreign sources and such.

A Hollywood Farm
Gary Ross's rural, 'Seabiscuit'-style organic retreat
Goleta, Calif.
In Spring 2003, while Gary Ross was in the Santa Ynez Valley shooting "Seabiscuit," a drama about a famed race horse during the Great Depression, he was simultaneously putting the finishing touches on a weekend home about 30 miles southeast through the San Marco Pass.
As he consulted with the movie's set designer about how to design the house owned by Charles Howard, the ex-car salesman who owned Seabiscuit, Mr. Ross's fictitious and personal homes began influencing each other. "I definitely showed [the set designer] a picture of the [house] we used as a reference for our house," said the 53-year-old writer-director who has been nominated for an Oscar four times, including once for best picture for "Seabiscuit."
There are similarities between the "Seabiscuit" home and Mr. Ross's. Both early California-style ranches, they have large porches and overhangs (Mr. Ross's is 1,000 square feet), shaded sitting areas outdoors and wooden porch swings. Inside, Mr. Ross's home features antique wood tables, studded leather chairs and a giant Navajo-style woven rug covering the floor.
Off a dirt road, Mr. Ross's home is in Goleta, a town just north of Santa Barbara that is itself a bit of a throwback. Still rural, the coastal community is made up of a patchwork of farms and cattle ranches. The Ross's house, a 3,500-square-foot ranch, sits on a 1.5-acre clearing atop a hill; the remaining 9.5 acres are covered by more than 750 tangerine and avocado trees.
As he walked around the house, Mr. Ross, wearing jeans and work boots, ate a steady stream of seedless Satsuma mandarin tangerines stationed in bowls scattered around. Around Hollywood, the family is known for mandarins. Each holiday season they send out a box of fruit to 200 friends in the business—and will honor requests for refills. Tobey Maguire (who played jockey Red Pollard in "Seabiscuit"), Sigourney Weaver and William H. Macy are always on the distribution list.
"I'm still waiting for my oranges this year," noted Mr. Macy, who starred in Mr. Ross's "Pleasantville" and has fashioned bowls from avocado wood from the farm. He adds, "The stuff that Gary does is very high-pressure....[the farm] is a godsend."
Mr. Ross didn't originally set out to grow tangerines. A decade ago the family wanted some land to build a house on, but found they couldn't afford anything but a pint-sized parcel in Montecito or Santa Barbara. So they headed 20 minutes north to Goleta, where they purchased the 11-acre parcel for $700,000 and in 2003 spent another $1.5 million building the home. A nearby older home with an avocado orchard on half as much land as the Rosses' farm is on the market for $1.85 million.
Taking his cue from other writers, Mr. Ross built himself a writing shack 25 yards from the house. The 120-square-foot rectangular room is simple, with windows on all sides, wooden plank floors, a desk, a computer and a faded button-backed brown leather sofa. While working on the animated feature "The Tale of Despereaux," Mr. Ross, who also co-wrote "Big," secluded himself in his studio for several days reviewing scenes.
Allison Thomas, Mr. Ross's wife and a film producer, decided to make the farm organic. The most enthusiastic farmer in the family—she attributes her interest to reading "Walden" in high school—she attended pruning seminars, read up on weeds and took classes on how to go organic, a process that took several years. The family hired a farm manager to look after the orchard when they're away, but do their own picking and maintenance whenever they visit. Ms. Thomas carries hand-drawn maps into the orchard to help her identify the different fruit trees she's planted and turns their produce into jams, jellies and apple sauce.
On a recent cloudless Sunday, the Rosses and their 14-year-old twins Jack and Claudia were eating bowls of Mr. Ross's pot-roast chili. While Mr. Ross headed out onto the lawn for a match of Frisbee golf with Jack, Claudia and a high-school friend huddled under a checkered wool blanket together on the porch swing outside, reading aloud their English-class homework. Later, their dog, a buttermilk-colored mutt named Champagne, dug for ground squirrels while Ms. Thomas donned her galoshes and headed down into the orchard, picking enough mandarins to fill five plastic crates that she set at the bottom of the hill. The food would be donated to the local food bank on their way back to Los Angeles.
Family members say that when they're at the farm they indulge in a lot of old-fashioned activities, like card games. Even their movie tastes are nostalgic. "We watch a lot of Chaplin up here," said Mr. Ross, adding that the family has "'Dr. Strangelove' on a constant loop."

Congress Passes Zika Funding BillCongress passed and President Obama signed a 10-week continuing resolution, which includes $1.1 billion for Zika virus research.
Your work has also extended to arsenate respiration, by which microbes "breathe" arsenate, making a much more toxic compound, arsenite. Arsenic contamination in drinking water is a big problem in many places around the world. Can these discoveries about arsenate respiration help improve how we handle arsenic-contaminated water?
That's the hope. What we've done is develop ways of identifying when arsenic respiration is occurring at the molecular level. This won't solve the problem, it will only show that there is a problem and it will motivate efforts to aerate the system in such a way that this process is no longer stimulated. In the end, I think that the problem of arsenic mobilization in places like Bangladesh is a very complicated one that integrates many factors outside of science. There isn't a simple fix.
Some of your work in ancient anaerobic metabolisms may have impacts on treating bacterial infections. What's the link between ancient metabolisms and infection?
For years, organisms had to develop strategies for electron transfer under anaerobic conditions. Today, in the context of infections, many of these infections are anaerobic and therefore, when we think about it metabolically, the strategies organisms are taking to survive might not be all that different from strategies that developed on an anaerobic world billions of years ago. My favorite example of electron transfer in these type of multicellular environments that are relevant for infection is Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other species that make small molecular electron shuttles that are also known as redox-active antibiotics. We started to ask whether or not these molecules were always toxic, particularly under anaerobic conditions, where you no longer have the mechanism of generating superoxide (which makes them toxic). We tested the hypothesis that these could be electron shuttling molecules to diverse oxidants not just oxygen, and we found that indeed they were very versatile redox active molecules and could react with iron oxides and produce ferrous iron. This would be a pretty clever strategy for organisms to acquire iron under anaerobic conditions.
This year, you've been awarded ASM's Eli Lilly Award in recognition of your many accomplishments as a young researcher. That's a very prestigious award.
I was incredibly honored by that and totally shocked. I heard about it when I was on maternity leave and it was a really nice shot in the arm because at the time my brain was sort of decaying and I wasn't sure I was ever going to be able to do science again. Getting this recognition was a pep talk for me.
What is your favorite microbe? Why?
I've always loved Pyrococcus furiosus. Partly I love it just because of the name - I think it's a really great name. It's also a fascinating organism because of the environment in which it lives, at high temperatures, and the kind of interesting inorganic reactions it can catalyze. I love all the different organisms we've worked with in my lab over the years. I can't choose, they're all really wonderful.
If you could name a new microbe right now, would you name it after yourself? If not, how would you name it?
I would name it after Terry Beveridge, who was one of my dear mentors, both a geomicrobiologist and medical microbiologist who very tragically passed away of cancer at the end of last year.
What advice would you give students about life as a microbiologist working in academia?
I would say to follow their passion and be honest with themselves about what that is and always try to maintain a high standard for themselves regarding how they conduct their work that comes from their own sense of how they want to go out and do things. Always do something because you love it and, hopefully, the rest will take care of itself.
What is something about you that most people don't know?
They probably don't know that I have an eight month old baby boy named Ronen. Also, I was born in Argentina and I have a really great tango musician as a godfather. He's no longer alive - his name was Ástor Piazzolla.

The Sustainable Path Forward
By Christopher Carroll
May 27th, 2015
People who are concerned about climate disruption and hunger are talking more and more about agroecology, that is, using ecological, economic, cultural, and gender justice principles to inform agricultural practices and systems. And those people are joining Grassroots International and our global partners in advocating for a shift toward agroecology to create a more sustainable future.
Denouncing Demolition & Forcible Displacement of Palestinian Village
Last fall, a delegation of Grassroots International supporters and staff had the privilege of planting and harvesting olives, and spending the night with some of the 350 farming families of Susya in the West Bank.
Agroecology Declaration lays out the path for a sustainable, healthy planet
Small-scale food producers and global movement leaders gathered in Mali earlier this year to lay out a plan to transform and repair our food system and the rural world that has been devastated by industrial food production. Their declaration (below) spells out specific values, strategies, challenges and next-steps to not only feed the world, but also address climate change by advancing agroecology.
Hosted by Grassroots International grantee CNOP (the National Coordination of Peasant Organizations) and La Via Campesina, among several other leading agroecology organziations, the International Forum on Agroecology outlined agroecology is a key form of resistance to the commodification of food and seeds, and moves toward a healthy planet.
The Unexpected Learning Exchanged: Gender Consciousness and Capacity
Humanity cannot solve its problems with one hand effectively tied behind its back. Yet, given the state of women's rights globally, this is metaphorically the case. One of the guiding principles of Grassroots International's work is the recognition and support of women's agency in the struggle for justice and liberation – not just to advance women's leadership (though that is a goal) but also because women's engagement and leadership are necessary to push us all forward.
Africa not a Blank Slate, Farmers Already have Solutions
Contrary to Western assertions, Africa is not a blank slate.
Africans have a long history of vibrant culture, politics, economics and agriculture. However, since Europe's first encounter with Africa through present day, international "decisionmakers" have approached the African continent as though it was devoid of people along with history. Africa is imagined out of context, and those projections become the basis for policy.
In our times, the battle for Africa is being waged one plot of agricultural land at a time. Control of Africa's food system is being wrested away from peasant farmers and being turned over to agribusinesses such as Monsanto under the guise of agricultural development.
Stories of Victory and Struggle from 2014
Grassroots International and our global partners are leading the way in developing sustainable solutions to the biggest challenges facing our world. From farming cooperatives and seed banks, to passing laws that protect ancestral lands and defending the human right to land, water, and food, together we take on big struggles and win important gains. Below are just some of the successes achieved in 2014 with support from Grassroots International, standing up to challenge poverty, climate disruption and human rights abuses.
Moving Towards an International Declaration on the Rights of Peasants
Seeds of Resistance in the Project of Life
Think of the seed as the first link of the food chain. If this prime component is compromised, the chain becomes untenable. What's more, if corporate interests control seeds, we are all subjugated to their agenda at every subsequent link of the chain. In fact, the preponderance of GMO and copyrighted seeds from agribusiness laboratories and mono-cropped fields already determine to a frightening degree the foods we can buy and eat. To counter these billion dollar agro-corporate interests, seed sovereignty activists have sought strength in their greatest resources — their knowledge and collective power.

"Got a 96-SE used in 2000 as a graduation present. Let me tell you about my blue as sky baby. Stood by me through thick and thin. Had normal wear and tear but nothing major, although I have put 110K in it so far. You know you have a good car when you can make two round trips from San Diego to Los Angeles ( about 2 hrs trip, 130mi distance one way) on one full tank of gas. You know you have a good car when your car passes all them V6s, V8s, v16s, V32s, 3 million horse power, 2010 spanking new cars and trucks, on a god darn hill. You know you have a great car when you're at a car dealership with your friend cause they're buying a car, and when the dealer tries to make money off of you as well and tell them HOLD UP!!! I have a 200SX; the dealer goes darn your car will never break down. :D Youze got a good car! The only thing that will really break often over time on this car is the exterior. When that happens if its to your liking, just get a new paint and body job. And it will look like new, cause the inside still runs like new. Finally, to Sentra owners. I almost slapped somebody who tried to call my sweet baby a Sentra. Don't get it confused Sentra people. A Sentra, although slightly similar, does not compare to a 200SX. So don't get your hopes up like that. They are not interchangeable. Big difference! In conclusion, I love this car (was I too obvious?). I have tried and tried to find a reason to buy a new car. But why fix what ain't broke. And besides, you can't beat paying less than $500 a year on car insurance, and less than $80 on car registration, cause your car is buck old, but drives like it's spanking new. You just can't."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 79,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "MPG, repairs, fun, size, FWD, longevity."
Cons: "replacement tail lights one year 1998."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"My 200 had the paint burned off it when I got it in St.Petersburg, Fl. The headliner and visor's are rotted. I let it set for over 7 years (in the HOOD) after I got it and the hatch was pried open and spare stole water let in for a year.After sitting I got into it put two tires on it,put a can of seafoam in the tank and drove it to Denver. It needs a charge on the air and the cruise does not work. I replaced a CV and the right hub and wheel bearing. I consistently get MPG in the high 30's. I also have a 240 SX and my wife drives a Maxima. I wish Nissan would offer the SR 16 over the GA 16 in this model. This is a simple car and very lite, not much to brake. Has comfortable seats and with GOOD tires (Continental, Pirelli, or Michelin) and good shocks, rides well. I will never sell this car as it is my idea of a hybrid. I would say that many driver's do not like you going around them in a old car that is paid for and gets 2 to 3 times the MPG of their new car! I will say that if you want to know the true value of a car see what other people, in other countries think of this manufacturer and like models."

Lady Bengals fall to Div I Angelina, 91-83
By J. Anfenson-Comeau
The LSU at Eunice Lady Bengals took a narrow loss Saturday afternoon, as the Division I Lady Runners of Angelina College (Lufkin, Texas) battled their way to a 91-83 win.
LSUE drew first blood, with Jennifer Hicks' basket at the 19:20 mark, but Angelina's Tiara George scored three baskets to give the Lady Runners the lead.
LSUE surged on a 13-2 run, sparked by three treys from Hicks, to take a 15-8 lead in partway through the first half.
Angelina came back, however, mounting a 9-0 offensive that helped the Lady Runners recapture the lead with 7:20 remaining in the first half.
LSUE closed the point gap a couple of times, but fell short near the end, with two free throws from Lady Runner Anitra Jeffery helping to close the half with a 50-46 Angelina lead.
After a goal by Lady Runner Brittany Lewis to start the second half, LSUE went on a 12-3 run, led by baskets and free throws from Quanessa Batiste, that helped the Lady Bengals capture a three-point lead.
The two teams struggled for dominance before Angelina went on a 10-2 run midway through the half that ended the Lady Bengals' last chance to control the game.
LSUE mounted a 7-2 run to close within seven point of Angelina's lead in the last four minutes of the game, but the Lady Runners kept up the pressure and waited out the clock in the final seconds.
Hicks led the game in scoring with 26 points, including nine out of 15 free throws. She was followed on the Lady Bengal side by Batiste with 20 points.
Jeffery led the Lady Runners with 21 points, followed by George and Sara Stewart, who each chipped in 16 points.
With the win, Angelina rises to 18-7 overall; LSUE drops to 16-10 for the season.
The Lady Bengals wrap up their regular season Saturday at Jacksonville College.

Campobasso is renowned for its craftsmanship of blades, the city is also famous for its production of pears and scamorza (cheese). Campobasso is located in the central Italy and is bordered by the Adriatic Sea which, when hiring a car in Campobasso, makes a trip to the beach essential. The main attractions are the Castello Monforte and the Cathedral which was the first building in Campobasso. The Cathedral was built in 154 but was reconstructed as the city was hit by an earthquake, it was completed in 185.

Vt. teacher facing sex charges to change pleaThe Associated Press | September 06,2013BURLINGTON - A former Burlington high school Spanish teacher accused of having a sexual relationship with a student is expected to withdraw her not guilty plea.
Prosecutors told the Burlington Free Press that a proposed plea agreement is expected to be outlined at a hearing at 3 p.m. today in court in Chittenden County for Giovanna Yaranga.
The 44-year-old Yaranga had pleaded not guilty in May to four felony counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. She later pleaded not guilty to a charge of violating her conditions of release by contacting the student after a judge ordered her to stay away from the 17-year-old boy.

This application is a continuation of and claims priority of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/574,386 entitled "System and Method for Reducing Peak-to-Average Power Ratio for Multicarrier Communication Systems" filed Oct. 6, 2009, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,822,136 which itself is a divisional of and claims priority of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/690,613 entitled "System and Method for Reducing Peak-to-Average Power Ratio for Multicarrier Communication Systems" filed on Oct. 23, 2003 and issued as U.S. Pat. No. 7,639,747 on Dec. 29, 2009, the entirety of each is herein incorporated by reference.
The peak-to-average power ratio ("PAPR"), also known as peak-to-mean power ratio ("PMPR") or peak factor, is an important characteristic of multi-carrier transmitted signals. The peak of the signal can often be N times greater than the average power level. These large peaks cause intermodulation distortion which can result in an increase in the error rate. These distortions are brought about from the limitations inherent in a transmitting amplifier.
In order to prevent the transmitter amplifier from limiting (clipping), the average signal power must be kept low enough to keep the signal relatively linear through the amplifier. In order to transmit a high power signal, a high power amplifier is required which requires a large DC system power. A much higher power amplifier is required to transmit multi-carrier waveforms than for constant envelope waveforms. For example, using 64 carrier waveforms, a 40 dBm power amplifier would require about 15 dB of back off. Therefore, instead of operation at 40 dBm (10 watts) the amplifier is only capable of operating at 25 dBm (0.316 Watts). Thus in order to transmit at the desired 40 dBm, a 55 dBm (316 Watt) amplifier would be required. The associated power supply, power consumption, can be substantially increased. In addition, such large power requirements lead to associated increased space demands and heat dissipation requirements.
With the large amount of interest and activity with Orthogonal Frequency Division Modulation ("OFDM"), and in particular 802.11a and 802.11g communication technology, the PAPR problem is exaggerated. 802.11 with its use of complex waveforms requires highly linear RF amplifiers. Current 802.11 physical layer integrated circuits have not implemented PAPR reduction schemes. In particular, multi-tone OFDM typically requires greater than 10 dB power amplifier back-off because of a high peak-to-average power ratio. The net result of these factors is an increased DC power demand beyond that encountered with other 802.11 techniques. The effect may be less noticeable for short duty cycle signals, but can be significant for situations requiring continuous transmission of data.
OFDM, as mentioned above, is a method of transmitting data simultaneously over multiple equally-spaced and phase synchronized carrier frequencies, using Fourier transform processing for modulation and demodulation. The method has been proposed and adopted for many types of radio systems such as wireless Local Area Networks ("LAN") and digital audio and digital video broadcasting. OFDM offers many well-documented advantages for multi-carrier transmission at high data rates, particularly in mobile applications. Specifically, it has inherent resistance to dispersion in the propagation channel. Furthermore, when coding is added it is possible to exploit frequency diversity in frequency selective fading channels to obtain excellent performance under low signal-to-noise conditions. For these reasons, OFDM is often preferable to constant envelope modulation with adaptive equalization and is arguably less complex to implement.
The principal difficulty with OFDM, as alluded to above, is that when the sinusoidal signal of the N carriers add mostly constructively, the peak envelope power is as much as N times the mean envelope power. If the peak envelope power is subject to a design or regulatory limit then this has the effect of reducing the mean envelope power allowed under OFDM relative to that allowed under constant envelope modulation. If battery power is a constraint, as is typically the case with portable equipment such as mobile consumer appliances, laptops, and sophisticated Department of Defense communication systems, then the power amplifiers required to behave linearly up to the peak envelope power must be operated inefficiently with considerable back-off from compression. Digital hard limiting of the transmitted signal has been shown to alleviate the problem but only at the cost of spectral sidelobe growth and consequential bit error performance degradation.
where Xi is the signal sample amplitude at sample number i and N is the number of samples of the multi-carrier symbol.
These problems provide a clear motivation to find other solutions for controlling the peak to mean envelope power ratio of the transmitted signal. One solution offered uses block coding to transmit across the carriers only those poly-phase sequences with small PAPR; however, this entails an exhaustive search to identify the best sequences and requires large look-up tables for encoding and decoding.
Some techniques, such as spectral whitening, serve to reduce the peak-to-average ratio and allow the use of RF amplifiers closer to their 1 dB compression point, resulting in a decreased DC power demand. Some prior art solutions have used clipping or mapping to reduce the PAPR. However no solutions have employed or suggested a hybrid system, including selective mapping and soft clipping as is presented in this disclosure.
It is an object of the present disclosure to obviate the disadvantages of the prior art and present a novel system and method for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio of a signal for transmission in a multi-carrier communication system. One method sequences information data according to a data vector and modulates multi-carrier symbols with the sequenced data. The resultant modulated data signal's peak-to-average power ratio is measured and compared to a predetermined threshold. In the method, if the peak-to-average power ratio exceeds the predetermined threshold, the data is re-sequenced in accordance with a new data vector and repeats the modulation and comparison processes. Otherwise the modulated data signal is appended with a data map associated with the respective data vector and sampled. Those modulated data signal samples which exceed a predetermined range are clipped and the clipped modulated data signal is filtered, thereby reducing the PAPR ratio of the signal to be transmitted in a multi-carrier communication system.
It is a further object of the present disclosure to present a novel system and method, in a multi-carrier communication system, of transmitting data. An embodiment of a system and method includes sequencing the data according to one or more unique sequences, modulating one or more of the sequences of data and selecting one of the modulated sequences of data, based on the PAPR. The system and method further include filtering the selected modulated sequence of data to remove amplitude peaks outside a threshold band, and transmitting the filtered signal over the multi-carrier communication system.
It is another object of the present disclosure to present in a multi-carrier communication system with a linear amplifier, a novel system and method of preventing limiting of the amplifier. The novel system and method include sequencing data to be transmitted based upon the resultant PAPR from the modulation of the sequenced data. Also included is sampling the modulated sequenced data and truncating the samples which are outside a threshold, thereby forming a data signal that prevents limiting of the amplifier.
It is still another object of the present disclosure to present, in a multi-carrier communication system for transmitting data, a novel system and method for Banning a data signal that reduces the required power of a transmitter. The novel system and method includes providing the data to be transmitted in one or more unique sequences and modulating the one or more unique sequences thereby creating one or more unique modulated sequences. The system and method may also include selecting for transmission one of the unique modulated sequences based on its associated PAPR, and truncating amplitudes of the selected sequence which are outside a predetermined range to thereby form a data signal that reduces power required to transmit the signal.
It is yet another object of the present disclosure to present a novel transmitter for transmitting data with multiple carriers. A transmitter may have a modulator for modulating multi-carrier symbols with the data, a processor for measuring the PAPR of the modulated data, and a logic device for comparing the PAPR with a threshold. The transmitter may also have a processor for deterministically re-sequencing the data and an amplitude filter for reducing peaks of the modulated data signal that are outside a predetermined range.
The present disclosure presents a predictive signal producing method that effectively levels transmitter output power, and results in approaching amplifier performance normally associated with constant carrier waveforms of the prior art. This solution offers >10 dB reduction in the peak-to-average power required to support the transmission of OFDM modulation techniques. This approach maximizes PAPR reduction with selective mapping and soft clipping combined. The approach also minimizes overhead, bit error rate, retransmissions, and increases latency as well as implementing processing cycles with a number of iterations. The disclosed approach improves the total system DC power efficiency and provides an optimal solution for PAPR reduction in OFDM and is uniquely different from the prior art.
These and many other objects and advantages of the present disclosure will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art to which the disclosure pertains from a perusal of the claims, the appended drawings, and the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
An overview of a disclosed embodiment for a method of reducing PAPR is shown in
The resultant PAPR of the modulated carriers containing the sequenced data, which is described with a data vector, is measured in block 403 a. The measured PAPR is then compared with a predetermined threshold in block 403 b. The threshold may be, for example, user determined or derived from a regulatory requirement. It is also envisioned that the thresholds may be selected from a look up table or other empirical method. If the measured PAPR of the data vector is above the appropriate threshold, meaning the PAPR is too high, the data is deterministically scrambled (or re-sequenced) in block 404 to create a different data vector, of course the different data vector contains the same data, just with a different or unique sequence. The new scrambled data or data vector is modulated with the multi-carrier symbols in block 402. The PAPR of the new iterative data vector is then again measured. If the PAPR is again above the threshold the data is again deterministically scrambled to create yet another different data vector and continues the process through modulation, measurement and scrambling until the PAPR of the respective data vector is within the threshold. This process is not directed towards obtaining the best sequence but rather directed to obtaining an acceptable sequence. However, if the PAPR is less than the threshold then a data mapping byte(s) descriptive of the data vector, (indicating the scrambled sequence of data) is appended to the modulated data in block 405. The data mapping byte is used to descramble the data on the receiver end. The modulated scrambled data and appended mapping byte is then passed to block 406 which passes the symbols to a soft clipping algorithm.
With reference now directed to
The result of the soft clipping process may increase out of band noise; however this effect can be ameliorated by a raised cosine filter or other appropriate filter. The second or windowing threshold may be dynamically adjusted based on several factors such as, but not limited to, the measured PAPR of the accepted data vector or may be predetermined by the user. The use of look-up tables for establishing the second threshold is likewise envisioned.
The PAPR method described above is envisioned to be implemented via either hardware or software, or both. A hardware implementation of an embodiment of a PAPR reduction system is shown in
The output of the digital to analog Converter 704 supplies an IF signal to the up-converter 709 which generates a radio frequency RF signal, or signal at a frequency applicable to the transmission media, to the power Amplifier 707 which amplifies the signal for transmission over the transmission channel by antenna 708 or by a transducer applicable to the transmission media.
The present disclosure presents a predictive signal-producing algorithm that effectively levels transmitter output power, and results in approaching amplifier performance normally associated with constant carrier waveforms of the prior art. The present disclosure also presents a technique to reduce the PAPR of waveforms produced from a multi-carrier chipset, preferably OFDM or other multi-carrier waveform producing chipsets, by using external methods to the chipset. Prior art requires modification to the actual waveform producing chipset (which is typically not possible) in order to implement PAPR reduction techniques. The technique presented here is unique in that it provides a method to reduce PAPR without modification to the chipset.
While preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, it is to be understood that the embodiments described are illustrative only and that the scope of the invention is to be defined solely by the appended claims when accorded a full range of equivalence, many variations and modifications naturally occurring to those of skill in the art from a perusal hereof.

Every student dreads the word test. Some people thrive under pressure, some people shrink. But in school when all is said and done, if you fail the test, you fail the class.
Test time is here for the Portland Trail Blazers.
Expectations were extremely tempered when it came to the 7 game road trip this team came home from. After winning two overtime games against subpar teams, the trip was seen as a tough growing experience for this young team.
The thing no one knew then was that things would get even worse when they got home. On the first game of the 6 game home stand, the Blazers got beat up by the Sacramento Kings. Not only did the Blazers lose the game but they lost two starters for the next game or two.
Nicolas Batum came into the game with a sore lower back and after taking a couple big hits during the game, he said that it is one the worse pains he has ever felt. He is now seen as doubtful for the Monday game against the Toronto Raptors.
Another tough loss midway through the game was that of Wesley Matthews. Matthews injured his hip and then aggravated it later. He said after the game that he was having trouble with his leg. As of after practice on Sunday, he said he was feeling much better and believed he would be a game-time decision on Monday night.
The reason I believe this is test time for the Blazers is that it is time for some of the bench guys to step up and get things rolling. If the bench does not step up at this point and start helping to win some games, this season might be at a loss.
I look for guys like Will Barton and Joel Freeland to really step up, especially on the offensive end of the court. If those couple guys can step up and if Luke Babbitt can continue to give some good minutes off the bench, this team could get some momentum going on this home stand.
You never know how a team will react under pressure, especially a young team, but having the next 5 games at home can't be a bad thing for this reeling team.

Police investigating illegal handgun possessionApril 10,2013DUMMERSTON — Vermont State Police are investigating how a transient man obtained a firearm he cannot legally possess.
Robert Taylor Brewer, 64, was pulled over by State Police on Monday during a traffic stop on Interstate 91 in Dummerston. Police said they conducted a search and found a .40-caliber handgun in Brewer's car.
Brewer had a prior conviction of domestic assault, which, under federal law, prohibits him from possessing a firearm.

There, DeSean Jackson was speeding down the numbers, gaining inside leverage on Aqib Talib. Vick stared him down, then let the ball go.
By the time Vick released the ball, Jackson had gained a step on Talib, and the throw was true. Jackson leaped past Talib and rolled into the end zone. His first target of the preseason resulted in a 47-yard touchdown.
There are questions nearly everywhere on this team. The defense couldn't stop Tom Brady. Chip Kelly is still evaluating the quarterbacks. The offensive line is dealing with injuries. Jackson, though, has been a steady force all camp.
