Research Focus
There are currently 4 research selections being followed within our laboratory:
1) We are interested in the role that dietary flaxseed may play in providing significant benefits to our cardiovascular health. We have initiated several studies investigating the effects of flaxseed on cardiovascular performance in animals. We are continuing to investigate its effects in humans in both healthy populations and in those with clinical symptoms of cardiovascular disease.
2) We are interested in the role of sodium calcium exchange in ischemia reperfusion injury. Using molecular approaches to increase or decrease the expression of the sodium calcium exchanger, we continue a long standing interest in understanding the ionic basis of ischemic reperfusion damage to the heart.
3) We are interested in the role of infection and inflammation on cardiovascular disease. Specifically, we examine how infectious agents like Chlamydia pneumonia may promote atherosclerosis in in vitro and in vivo models.
4) We are interested in the factors that regulate nuclear protein import in vascular smooth muscle cells. The movement of proteins into the nucleus represents signaling information that can influence cell growth. We are interested in the processes that regulate this signaling during healthy development and during disease conditions.
Why is this work important?
Our work investigates the basic mechanisms that may be responsible for modifying, inducing or preventing cardiovascular disease. Our research is unique in that it attempts to go from bench to bedside in a number of studies employing not only cell biology and molecular biology techniques to improve our understanding of cardiovascular health, but also dietary interventions to delay or prevent the development of cardiovascular disease processes.
What techniques and equipment are used in this laboratory?
We have a basic cell biology laboratory that employs many different biochemical and molecular biology techniques to obtain information. This includes the use of adenoviruses, siRNA, cell culture, organ culture, tissue perfusion in both vascular tissue, cardiac muscle and adipose tissue. We routinely use gel electrophoresis, western blots, northern blots, HPLC, GC, langendorf and tissue perfusion of arterial rings and isolated hearts, as well as a variety of other techniques.
About Dr. Grant Pierce
Dr. Grant Pierce has published ~200 manuscripts that have attracted more than 4000 citations. His past work focused on the identification of a cardiomyopathy in diabetes and on Na/H exchange as an important mechanism responsible for ischemic heart disease. He is currently interested in nuclear protein import as a mechanism for cell growth in the cardiovascular system, on the relationship of infection and inflammation with atherosclerosis, and on the potential for nutraceuticals and functional foods to alter cardiovascular disease. He is the Executive Director of Research at St Boniface Hospital and Co-Editor of the Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology.

Searching for the key to how cells grow or die
Most disease processes include an alteration in the rate of cell death or of cell growth. Cells may grow by simply getting larger or they may grow by dividing into more cells. The majority of deaths from heart failure and stroke – some 70% — are due to atherosclerotic blockages. Cells in these blockages are known to have accelerated rates of both cell growth and cell death at different stages of the development of these blockages. The goal of our research in this program is to understand how the cell controls these life/death processes through a signaling process into the cell nucleus. The nucleus of a cell contains all of the genetic material of the cell. This is where the genes are turned off and on and where the process of making new proteins is initiated or stopped. This process allows the cell to adapt to its changing environment and demands. The movement of signaling proteins into and out of the nucleus to turn the genes on or off then becomes an important switch to regulate cell life and death. These signaling proteins move into the nucleus through giant pores or channels. Dr Pierce's research focusses on how this transport is controlled, what factors alter it and if this movement of proteins through the nuclear channels is involved in diseases like atherosclerotic heart disease. This is a major focus of his laboratory's studies.
Understanding the association of infectious disease with heart disease
Atherosclerosis is the process whereby lipid-filled cells invade and block the artery and reduce blood flow needed to provide energy to a working tissue. The factors that lead to this growing blockage is, therefore, important information to obtain if we are to ever discover new therapies to limit or slow the atherosclerotic process in the body. Our lab investigates the involvement of infectious disease with this vascular problem. Specifically, we are studying the role that Chlamydia pneumonia, a respiratory pathogen, plays in inducing atherosclerosis. We have identified what we believe are key proteins involved in the action of Chlamydia pneumonia to induce heart disease and are pursuing ways to regulate this interaction and thereby prevent the induction of atherosclerosis by this infection.
Insights into using flaxseed as a dietary intervention for heart disease
A major focus for our lab in the past decade has been to understand the capacity for dietary flaxseed to modulate cardiovascular disease. We have now identified that in animals models of heart disease, dietary flaxseed has several important actions on both the heart and the vasculature. It is anti-arrhythmic during ischemic reperfusion challenge to the heart, it is anti-atherogenic, acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, reduces cell proliferation in the vascular wall, and blocks the atherogenic action of both dietary cholesterol and trans fats. This has allowed us to move into nutritional trials with healthy volunteers and patient populations. We have confirmed the cholesterol-lowering effects of flaxseed in humans, and identified a significant blood pressure lowering effect in patients with peripheral arterial disease. Continuing work in both animals and humans will contribute to furthering our knowledge of the potency of dietary flaxseed in the fight against cardiovascular disease.

BlackBerry-maker Research in Motion says one of its top executives is on medical leave.
RIM spokeswoman Marisa Conway said Thursday that Chief Operating Officer Don Morrison will be on medical leave until later this year. Larry Conlee, who retired as COO in 2009, will return to the company as a special adviser.
The Canadian company is due to release its quarterly earnings after markets close Thursday.
RIM's stock is off 50 percent from its 52-week high. In April, the company slashed earnings and sales forecasts as it faces increased competition from Apple's iPhone and devices that run on Google's Android operating system.

We sure mishandled the process, said Bassin, co-owner of the Ontario Hockey Leagues Erie Otters. I am not saying it was him or anyone else. The question within the group was about what it was worth or what the value was. It was an easy, solvable thing. It bogged us down, but there was active, honest interest and capability. You could say we fumbled it.

Vatican explains when churches can be demolished
To mark the 20th anniversary of the Cultural Property Committee of the Church, the Vatican has stated that the works of religious art are an important sign of Christianity.Mons. Gianfranco RavasiPresident Pontificate Council for Culture"The preservation of the monument itself not so that it sits in a rigid museum intact. On the contrary, this work is a living creature. It was built to have a function."That's why, when there are no more faithful left, and a church has little artistic value, the Vatican supports demolishing them. This is happening in some U.S. cities and Canada, where the temples are new, with no artistic value, and there are no Catholics in the area.But there's more than religious art in churches. The Commission, established by John Paul II, also highlights the importance of recovering sacred music, a tradition within the Church, such as the Gregorian chant.Francesco BuranelliSecretary, Pontificate Commission for Culture and Heritage of the Church"We work to protect, preserve and promote cultural property, whether past or present so that these cultural goods of all kinds continue to thrive in the future."The Commission is also thinking about the future. One of its upcoming initiatives, which will mean a revolution for the Church, will be its presence at the Venice Biennale. They have not wanted to lose the opportunity to be in the midst of art.MC/PVBDC-WP-

WSOP Omaha 8 Championship passes money bubble
With the money bubble set to burst with just 27 players remaining, there were 16,329 reasons for wanting make it that far in the $10,000 buy-in tournament; $16,329 that is. So with more than a $26,000 difference on the line it was Jason Mercier who would watch Dan Kelly take one on the chin and end the tournament in 28th place, for a loss of -$10,000, while Mercier would be eliminated a few hands later and collect his $16,329 prize.
The tournament would end Day 2 with just 22 players remaining in the hunt for the WSOP bracelet and the $465,216 first-place prize, with Guillame Rivet way out in front of the rest of the field, sitting on over 800,000 chips, while his nearest competitor, Alessio Isaia of Italy, ended the day with a chip-count of 535,000.
Here is a look at the Top 10 chip counts heading into Day 3 of the $10k Omaha 8 Championship:
1. Guillaume Rivet — 809,000
2. Alessio Isaia — 535,000
3. Michael Chow — 449,000
4. Mack Lee — 410,000
5. Jason Steinberg — 403,000
6. Richard Ashby — 400,000
7. Mikael Thuritz — 372,000
8. Mike Sexton — 321,000
9. Brendan Taylor — 319,000
10. Kirill Gerasimov — 306,000
Other notable players still in contention include George Lind III, Shaun Deeb, Freddy Deeb, Josh Arieh, and Eric Buchman.

Trenton, N.J. (AP) - Prosecutors have dropped all sex-related charges against a 15-year-old New Jersey girl who was accused of selling her 7-year-old stepsister to a group of men and boys for sex at a party.
Prosecutors confirmed the plea Thursday.
Two adults and three boys ages 13, 14 and 17 also have been charged in the case.
Superior Court Judge F. Lee Forrester has ordered the teenage girl to have no contact with her stepsister and to cooperate with prosecutors in the other cases.

Eyvind Earle, who painted backgrounds for the classic Disney films ''Sleeping Beauty'' and ''Lady and the Tramp,'' died here on July 20. He was 84.
Mr. Earle came to Walt Disney's attention in the early 1950's, when he created the look for the animated 1953 short ''Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom,'' which won both an Oscar and a Cannes Film Festival award. For the rest of the decade, Disney kept him busy painting the settings for films like ''Peter Pan,'' ''Paul Bunyan'' and ''Lady and the Tramp.'' For ''Sleeping Beauty,'' Mr. Earle did the movie's medieval background and later painted the Disneyland dioramas for Sleeping Beauty's Castle.
He was already a well-established artist when Disney discovered him, having had his first exhibition in France when he was 13. He was showing his work in galleries in Hollywood and Beverly Hills when he was 20; when he was 21 he bicycled across the country, paying his way by painting watercolors. He was 23 when he sold a watercolor to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He began adapting his landscapes to Christmas cards in the 1940's, eventually painting more than 800 designs that have sold more than 300 million copies.
A native of New York, Mr. Earle began painting when he was 10, after his father challenged him to either paint a picture a day or read 50 pages a day. He chose to do both. After his parents divorced, he traveled the world with his father for a time, painting in places like Mexico, Cuba, Spain, Holland, Belgium, France and Luxembourg.
He eventually returned to the United States, settling in Los Angeles with his mother. There, he dropped out of high school shortly before graduation to take a job as a sketch artist at United Artists studios.
He is survived by his wife, Joan; a daughter, Kristin Thompson of Seattle; a brother, Ferdinand, of Los Angeles; and a grandson.Continue reading the main story

alright I would like an HONEST answer guys, is being not-that-attractive a COMPLETE turn-off? Is there any chance?
Most Helpful Guy
Loaded question, but I think I can help answer this. This is what I think. Physical attraction is the absolute FIRST step to any sort of meaningful relationship. Don't let anybody else tell you otherwise. There is absolutely no way someone will approach you and start a conversation without being physically attracted to you. Let me be clear, this is someone approaching you whom is single, looking for a relationship, and wants to get to know you more. This isn't talking to a random stranger for directions or an elderly person. Here's the important thing to realize.
Physical attraction is a definition that YOU YOURSELF define. What I'm saying here is there are PLENTY of people out there that will think you're hot, no matter what physical qualities you have. You just got to find the person where the physical attraction is mutual. So yes, there's a chance with any man you encounter that he will think your attractive.
I have a sneaking suspicion, sorry if I offend you, that you may not be happy with your looks. You're confidence seems low because your not happy with your looks. Question is, what will you do to make you happy with yourself? Being happy with yourself builds confidence and will open doors to things way beyond finding a relationship.22|00|0

Following the outcome of the EU referendum, many experts believed that the Bank of England would cut interest rates in order to support the economy. However, members of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) have voted to keep the base rate stable at 0.5%, meaning millions of mortgage borrowers won't see their repayments fall.
Further economic data will be made available to the MPC in August when many experts believe a cut is more likely.
The Bank of England has decided to keep interest rates on hold, dashing the hopes of millions of borrowers that their mortgage payments would reduce this summer.
The MPC voted 8-1 to keep the base rate at its record low of 0.5%, preferring to delay any cut in rates until further economic data is available.
Hetal Mehta, senior European economist, Legal & General Investment Management, says: "We expected that the Bank of England would hold rates for the time being. We believe it is too early for the Bank to have any meaningful data on how the economy and financial conditions are being affected by the confidence shock ensuing from the EU referendum outcome, and therefore too early to calibrate the appropriate policy response.
"We expect the Bank of England will make a more comprehensive assessment in August, and that in the coming months interest rates will be cut by 50bps and further measures such as QE [quantitative easing] and credit easing will be announced."
The Financial Times has reported that an interest rate cut would potentially benefit around five million borrowers in the UK. According to the Council of Mortgage Lenders, the total value of variable rate mortgages is around £611bn. This includes both borrowers on tracker rate deals and those on their lender's standard variable rate.
Even if an interest rate cut were to follow in August, experts have warned that this may not translate to cheaper repayments for some borrowers.
Most tracker rate customers will benefit from an interest rate cut as their rate is directly linked to the base rate. Mortgage expert David Hollingworth told the FT: "For most trackers I would say a base rate cut would be effective, but it is worth borrowers checking their terms and conditions."
Borrowers on their lender's SVR are less likely to see a reduction in their repayments, even if the base rate were to fall. This is because banks and building societies have much greater control over their SVR, and don't automatically cut or raise this rate when the base rate changes.

Interview With Kate Jacobs, Author of Comfort Food
I was excited to get to interview Kate Jacobs, author of The Friday Night Knitting Club, in regards to her newest book, Comfort Food (you can read my review HERE). She's been interviewed before (you can read one interview HERE), and not wanting to bore her with the same ol' questions, I reviewed questions that were asked and answered, and came up with a few of my own. However, there were some great questions asked and answered that I wanted to include here:
What made you decide to make the "foodie" trend the backdrop for your second novel?
I love cooking shows on TV! I am addicted to Top Chef. Plus I spend a lot of time dreaming about how I want to redo my kitchen (someday, someday!). The truth is that I love good food. There's something so aspirational about watching a TV cook put together a great dish. But there's an even more basic element: I have these wonderful memories of going to my grandmother's house and tucking in to homemade chicken soup, freshly baked buns, fried chicken, and fruit pies that not only had made-from-scratch crusts, but were also made with peaches and cherries grown in her own yard! When I reflect on those family meals, I recall laughter and a tremendous sense of happiness.
Did you draw on connections in your personal life to write COMFORT FOOD? Why did you decide to make Gus a young widow?
Shortly before the publication of my first novel, The Friday Night Knitting Club, my husband became suddenly and seriously ill and had to be hospitalized. He experienced a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) – what is sometimes referred to as a "mini-stroke." Now, we're both in our 30s and had just returned from a vacation cruise to celebrate our fifth anniversary. It was a happy time. We'd been back a day and I'd just put a lasagna in the oven when the phone rang. Within a half-hour, I found myself watching in horror in the ER as my husband lost the ability to speak coherently and couldn't move his legs. The doctor pulled me aside for one of those conversations you always see on television – about the next hours being crucial and calling the family and a litany of worst-case scenarios and tests that had to be done now, now, now – and every moment felt sharp and yet unreal at the same time. I kept thinking, "Will he be here tomorrow?" It was a long, lonely night, with a lot of scary moments and a lot of pressure to make smart choices for his future. The best news is that my husband received some very important medication within three hours of the onset of symptoms and therefore made a full recovery. He's good as new. Still, privately, I found I was often thinking of that week– lots of emotions to sort through. When I began to work on Comfort Food, I found my way into the character of Gus Simpson by imagining her to be widowed right around the same age as I was when my husband went into the hospital.
Do you identify more with Gus specifically, or with another strong female character(s) in your book?
All of the characters are fictional – no one character is me even as I sometimes put bits and pieces of myself into them — but I feel we could all relate to each of them in different ways. Hannah cannot forgive herself for her mistakes and poor choices; she lives in shame and fear of judgment. Carmen feels underappreciated and craves respect but doesn't know how to get it. Sabrina seems always cheery yet she runs away from her own feelings. Aimee has the weight of the world on her shoulders: she feels this tremendous sense of responsibility without respite. And Gus spends so much time holding it all together and making sure everyone else is nurtured and nourished that she is afraid to let herself seem anything less than perfect. The characters, and all the women I know in real life, deserve to cut themselves a little bit of slack.
You've said when you need a little dose of personal therapy, you have to bake. Can you explain why this helps?
I wish I knew! No, I think it's just a strong association with childhood. Even when I wouldn't learn how to cook I always baked. My mom typically made us kids do the baking if we wanted treats, and, as the youngest, I was suited up in an apron and marched in to make the chocolate chip cookies or brownies or whatever for my older brothers and sisters. Now I just find it soothing. And trust me: I spent a lot of time in the kitchen as I was writing Comfort Food, sometimes trying out Spanish recipes to get a feeling for Carmen, and sometimes just making cookie after cookie as I thought about the characters. It's not an accident that Hannah has a sweet tooth!
Do you have any favorite real-life celebrity cooks?
I am a huge fan of Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa. I find her absolutely engrossing and so welcoming — everything she makes seems infused with yummy deliciousness – and at the end of every show I think how much I'd like to be one the folks dining with her on her patio! I also love Giada De Laurentiis because I love Italian food, and everything she makes is so elegant. And I really enjoy Rachael Ray. Simple and fast appeals to me. I own cookbooks by all three of them.
Now, for my questions…
Hey Lady!: You mentioned in other interviews that you love cooking shows. Have you gotten to meet any celebrity chefs since you wrote Comfort Food?
KJ: Hmmm…now you have me thinking…..! No, I haven't. That would certainly be neat, and I'd love to. But I think all those celebrity chefs are busy cooking and, frankly, I'm busy writing. I have another book on the go!
HL!: Would you like to have your own cooking show?
KJ: Whether I'd enjoy having a cooking show and whether it would be remotely fun to watch are two different things! I tend to make the same dishes over and over. So I could see episode after episode of my cooking show in which I make risotto, tenderloin, chocolate chip cookies, and, my favorite breakfast, smoothies. You know, I do have a larger repertoire than that and I enjoy trying new dishes, but no one should give me a cooking show. I'm just a writer, a home cook like most of us are, and not a gourmet at all. I also tend to enjoy softer tastes, whereas my husband really likes spice and bold flavors. (We always joke that this is because I grew up in Canada and he is a born-and-bred American.) Instead of a cooking show, I'd like a reader show, in which I'd get to interview folks about what's on the nightstand and we could talk books all afternoon. That's the TV program I want to host!
HL!: I've read at least one person was disappointed that Comfort Food didn't come with a recipe. Was that something you considered? What recipe do you think you would have included if you had done that?
KJ: I never want people to be disappointed – that's my people pleaser side that's typically in overdrive – but at the same time it is challenging to keep everyone happy. I also read a blog in which a reviewer was appreciative of the lack of recipes! So it's always a hard balance. Let me tell you, I almost put seven recipes into the back of the book – and then changed my mind and decided to build an entire website for the new novel at www.comfortfoodnovel.com . And you can find recipes at the site that inspired some of the menus in the fictitious cooking show, Eat Drink and Be, and there's also a recipe-share database where anyone can register and put up favorite dishes and so on. I wanted it to a fun site to fit with the new novel, which is lighthearted and upbeat.
HL!: After you completed either The Friday Night Knitting Club or Comfort Food, did you think about the characters after you were finished writing the book? Do your characters have lives of their own in your head, so to speak?
KJ: Yes, of course. I hold them close. I am going to be 35 in June and I have an entire parade of imaginary friends in my head! I think about the characters quite often, and I imagine different futures for them. Sometimes I like to just sit and think up happy endings all round because it's soothing. And I also have a lot of new characters who are bursting to get out of my brain. So there are many stories to tell.
HL!: What is your favorite part of the writing process? Your least favorite?
KJ: Starting is the hardest part – but also very exciting, in a nervous, anticipatory way. Who knows what characters I'll meet or where the story will go? Finishing a manuscript makes me feel euphoric – in the "I'm done, I'm really done" moment – but then sad as I have to turn the page and move on to new stories. As for my truly least favorite part of writing, it has to be the combination of mental, emotional, and physical fatigue. I tend to get up early as I get closer to a deadline. I am not a morning person! So I dread that darn alarm. But, at the same time, it's good to get these stories onto paper. Writing is what I've always wanted to do and I feel privileged to be able to be a storyteller.
Next week Ms. Jacobs will be guest posting here, which is a relief to me, 'cause I've got PLENTY to do for the wedding! If anyone else wants to guest post, I'm looking for volunteers. 😉

Apatow Crowd Ready Another Comedy: Get Him to the Greek
Judd Apatow and Co. to Strike Again With 20-Somethings Comedy
Right on the heels of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Judd Apatow is again teaming up with Sarah Marshall director Nick Stoller for yet another 20-something dude comedy. Titled Get Him to the Greek, this one will also draw from the Sarah Marshall cast (well, and the Superbad, Knocked Up and 40-Year-Old Virgin casts, too) with Russell Brand and Jonah Hill toplining.
The comedy will follow "a fresh-out-of-college insurance adjuster (Hill) who is hired to accompany an out-of-control rock star (Brand) from London to a gig at L.A.'s Greek Theater." I wonder what bit part Paul Rudd will have.
So, the Apatow machine continues to churn 'em out. What do you think about this news? Anybody getting slightly tired of the same kinds of movies with the same dudes in them? Or is Apatow and his band of merry men an endless source of good comedy?

If I was in the states right now I would vote third party, libertarian however I luckily am living in New Zealand for now :)00|00|1
Is there a party similar to libertarians in new zeland?
New zealand*
Honestly I recently moved here from the states and can't vote here because I am living here on a work visa haha but the main parties I know of include The National Party (like Republicans) the Labor Party (Like Democrats) and those two almost always win like the Democrats and Republicans in the States. There is also a Green Party and a Maori party and all of their parties are more liberal than the U. S. but how liberal depends on the party. The New Zealand First party is probably the closest to the libertarian party but unfortunately isn't too popular here... just by what I believe in would cause me to vote libertarian if I lived in the states currently

How shall we sing hymns?
John Wesley (1703-1791) was an Anglican minister and theologian. His ministry (and that of his brother Charles Wesley) led to the creation of the Methodist Church, as well as other traditions that have their roots in Wesley: the Wesleyan holiness movement, Pentecostalism, and the Charismatic movement.
Wesley issued seven "Rules for Singing" in 1761. Here are some excerpts:
Sing all. See that you join with the congregation as frequently as you can. …If it is a cross to you, take it up and you will find a blessing.
Sing…with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength…. (AKJ: This is particular pertinent for those services that take place in the morning hours.)
Sing in time. Whatever time is sung, be sure to keep with it. Do not run before, not stay behind it; but attend closely to the leading voices, and move therewith as exactly as you can;
And take care you sing not too slow. This drawling way naturally steals on all who are lazy; and it is high time to drive it out from among us, and sing all our tunes just as quick as we did at first.
Hymn tempo can be largely a subjective decision–some like it fast, some like it slow. But might singing "all our tunes just as quick" encourage more hearty singing? It seems Wesley thought so.
Regarding the call to "attend closely to the leading voices," I find it particularly helpful when worshiping congregations have vocal leaders for hymns, especially if members of the congregation are not familiar with a given hymn. This may sound self-evident, but the majority of my hymn-singing experience has been in churches where the organist leads the hymn just from the organ. This works fine in a congregation that knows hymns and sings them well, but I'm not convinced it's always the best approach to leading congregational hymns in worship.
Here's my favorite part of Wesley's rules:
Above all, sing spiritually. Have an eye to God in every word you sing. …[S]ee that your heart is not carried away with the sound, but offered to God continually.
I don't think having "your heart… carried away with the sound" is mutually exclusive with offering it "to God continually," but I love Wesley's call to "have an eye to God in every word you sing." We sing hymns best when we make them prayers to God, affirmations of our faith, even heartfelt confessions.
The rules in their entirety are here.

My dad's rule for hymn singing as a family when we were young was "no wimp singing in the Bradley family."
w k wimpenney permalinkJanuary 3, 2013 2:33 am
I've been called "Wimp" for 72 years. Dad and Grandpa before me. Glad your dad wasn't in our family. We'd have had problems. Still and all, I lead singing in our church and in a few old folks/ nursing homes. Loud and clear, joyfully prayerfully to our Lord. Best fun I know of.

You know, a little at a time. There are certainly some hymns that sound best on the organ, but there's no hymn that sounds great on the organ and can't also work well on the piano. At my old church–which before my time used the organ every week, primarily though not exclusively–I'd just play it periodically for grand old European hymns, when I happened to program them and especially on major feast days. Almost never more than once in a service. (Of course, I'm not much of an organist, so that was a factor, too.) I found that a little went a long way–there were certainly some organ partisans there, but they were grateful for my occasional effort, rather than complaining that it wasn't enough.

The present invention relates to a method of synchronising a radio transmitter with other receivers in a network, in order to minimise the effect of interference from other transmitters. In particular, the invention relates to the synchronisation of a network of base stations in a mobile communications system.
In a digital cellular radio system which operates in accordance with the TDMA-principle, such as GSM, D-AMPS or PDC, radio messages are transmitted in frames from base stations, each frame including a given number of time slots. Transmissions in the different time slots are generally intended to be received by different mobile radio receivers, and so it is necessary to ensure that the receiver is synchronised with the transmitter. The mobile transceivers are synchronised to their respective base stations by a signal from the base station.
For example, in full-rate D-AMPS, three mobile receivers share the same frequency channel, and therefore each channel is divided into three time slots, each lasting 6.7 ms, three time slots forming a frame. The frames are repeated 50 times per second.
Each time slot in the frame is assigned to a particular mobile receiver, until either the call is released, or the mobile is handed over to another channel, for example in another cell.
In each time slot, 324 bits are transmitted, most of which are data bits, but 28 of which form a synchronisation word.
The standard published by the Electronics Industries Association as EIA/TIA Publication IS136, which specifies the D-AMPS system, defines six different synchronisation words, but only three of those are used for a channel running at full-rate. Thus, a different synchronisation word is allocated to each time slot in a frame, and the base station transmits the relevant synchronisation word once during each time slot. The mobile receiver is able to recognise transmissions intended for it by identifying the synchronisation word, and similarly includes the same synchronisation word in its own transmissions to the base station.
The synchronisation words in IS136 are chosen such that there is minimal correlation between them. Thus, there is only a very small chance that a receiver will mis-identify a transmitted synchronisation word with a different synchronisation word. A danger, however, is that a receiver will receive the expected synchronisation word from an interfering transmitter operating on the same frequency, and will falsely interpret it as its expected synchronisation word. Moreover, there is the possibility that a receiver will falsely interpret data sent by an interfering transmitter on the same frequency as its expected synchronisation word.
Attempts have been made in the prior art to overcome these problems.
One known possibility is simply to allow each base station transceiver to select its own timing, meaning that there is no synchronisation between the base stations. In this situation, it is possible, although rather unlikely, that an interfering transmitter will be transmitting the same synchronisation word with a signal level sufficient to cause interference, and at a point in time sufficiently close to the expected time to give the possibility of false synchronisation.
An alternative known possibility is to synchronise the entire network, such that every base station is transmitting the same synchronisation word at the same time. This increases the probability that it will falsely receive the synchronisation word from an interfering transmitter, and interpret it as its own expected synchronisation word.
The probability of a false identification in this way depends on the carrier/interference (C/I) ratio, which relates to the relative signal levels of the transmissions from a desired transmitter, and from an interfering transmitter operating on the same frequency. Because there are only a limited number of frequencies available for use in a system, it is necessary to re-use the frequencies. Frequency planning can maximise the frequency re-use distance, and hence maximise the C/I ratio, but in general cannot guarantee that the C/I ratio will be high enough to avoid any possibility of interference by falsely detecting the synchronisation word from an interfering transmitter.
It is an object of the invention to increase the probability of correct synchronisation, by planning the use of the synchronisation words.
A network in accordance with the invention comprises a number of base stations, some of which use the same frequency. In accordance with the invention, the base stations are synchronised, so that their time slots coincide, and the network is planned such that the neighbouring base stations operating on the same frequency transmit different synchronisation words during any given time slot.
The invention also relates to the method of coordination of the air frame positions of the base stations, and to the base stations themselves.
The advantage of the invention is that the risk of false synchronisation can be minimised, even under less favourable C/I conditions.
FIG. 1 is a block schematic diagram of a telecommunications network in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 represents transmissions by a base station on a particular operating frequency.
FIG. 3 represents the coverage of an area by a cellular communications network.
FIG. 1 represents a cellular communications network, having a Mobile Services Switching Centre (MSSC) 2, which is in communication with, and controls, base stations 4, 6, 8, 10 (referred to herein as BS1, BS2, BS3 and BS4 respectively). It will be appreciated that the network includes many more such base stations, and only four base stations are shown here for clarity of explanation.
FIG. 2 represents transmissions by the first base station BS1. In each frame, lasting 20 ms, there are three time slots, each allocated to a different mobile receiver. Communications to a first mobile receiver on channel CH1 take place in the first time slot, communications to a second mobile receiver on channel CH2 take place in the second time slot, and communications to a third mobile receiver on a third channel CH3 take place in a third time slot. Each time slot consists of 324 bits, 28 of which form a synchronisation word SYNC. Each time slot contains a different synchronisation word (or sync word), to allow the mobile receivers to identify the transmissions which they are intended to receive.
Similarly, transmissions from the mobile receivers to the base stations also contain the sync words.
Because of the limited availability of frequencies, each frequency must be re-used by a number of base stations within the network. Thus, in FIG. 1, base stations BS1, BS2, BS3 and BS4 all operate on the same frequency.
FIG. 3 shows a part of an area covered by a mobile telecommunications network. The area can be considered as being covered by a large number of generally hexagonal cells, each of which contains a base station. (It will be well known to the person skilled in the art that, instead, base stations may be located at cell boundaries, radiating different operating frequencies into the different adjacent cells). FIG. 3 shows the cells C1, C2, C3 and C4, in which base stations BS1, BS2, BS3 and BS4 respectively are located. To reduce the possibility of interference between base stations transmitting on the same frequency, the network is planned so that base stations which use the same frequency are as widely separated as possible. In this case, cells C1 and C2 are separated by the minimum frequency re-use distance D.
Thus, a mobile receiver in cell C1 will be attempting to detect transmissions from base station BS1, on the particular operating frequency of that base station, containing a particular synchronisation word. However, there is a danger that, instead, the receiver will detect the signal transmitted by base station BS2 in cell C2, or from base station BS3 in cell C3 (or indeed from any other base station using the same operating frequency). The likelihood of this depends on the ambient reception conditions, but also depends crucially on the frequency re-use distance D.
In this context, the other base stations, transmitting signals which can interfere with the desired transmission on the intended frequency are known as cochannel interferers. In the event that the mobile receiver falsely interprets data from a cochannel interferer as the desired sync word, the receiver may lose the required timing, or may incorrectly initiate its demodulator, resulting in a deterioration in performance of the demodulator.
In accordance with the invention, the MSSC 2 transmits control signals to all of the base stations, causing them to transmit their time slots simultaneously, or at least within a couple of symbols of one another. That is, the base stations share the same "air frame clock". Thus, each base station is transmitting a sync word at more or less the same time as every other base station, or at least every other base station operating on the same frequency. It should be noted that control signals from a central unit to the base stations may also be transmitted via satellite, if preferred. Also, GPS clock signals may be used by the base stations, in which case the base stations will need to be provided with suitable receivers for detecting signals from GPS satellites.
In the embodiment described so far, the network uses three different synchronisation words, each associated with a respective one of the time slots. The MSSC 2 controls the base stations such that, as far as is possible, adjacent cochannel interferers are not transmitting the same sync word at the same time as each other. Thus, in the network shown in FIG. 3, base station BS1 in cell C1 might at one particular instant be transmitting a first sync word, to be followed in the next two time slots by a second sync word and a third sync word. Base station BS2 in cell C2 might at the same instant be transmitting the second sync word, to be followed in the next two time slots by the third sync word and the first sync word. Base station BS3 in cell C3 might at the same instant be transmitting the third sync word, to be followed in the next two time slots by the first sync word and the second sync word. Then, base station BS4 in cell C4 might, like base station BS1, be transmitting the first sync word, to be followed in the next two time slots by the second sync word and the third sync word. This means that a mobile receiver in cell C1, attempting to detect the transmission from the base station BS1, will now be highly unlikely to make a false detection by receiving transmissions from cells C2 or C3, because of the very low correlation between the three sync words. The nearest cell from which it is likely to receive a sync signal which it falsely detects as the sync signal from base station BS1 is base station BS4 in cell C4. As indicated in FIG. 3, cell C4 is 3D from cell C1. This distance can be considered to be a minimum time position re-use distance, by analogy with the minimum frequency re-use distance D. Thus, the probability of a false synchronisation caused by a mobile receiver detecting the intended synchronisation word from a cochannel interferer is greatly reduced. This means that, when planning the network, it is possible either to use a shorter frequency re-use distance, or to operate in worse C/I conditions.

Prevention Of No-Fly List Terrorists From Boarding Aircraft
Intellicheck Mobilisa
: 10 May, 2010
(New Product)
Intellicheck Mobilisa explains how Defense ID can be used in the civil aviation industry for screening passengers before boarding to identify fake or forged documents, wanted individuals and suspected terrorists
Intellicheck Mobilisa has been featured on BNN, CBS and NBC, discussing technology currently available that can identify and stop terrorists from boarding planes, in light of the Times Square bomber's near escape at John F Kennedy International Airport, despite being on a "No-Fly" list. Dr Nelson Ludlow, CEO of Intellicheck Mobilisa, noted in the interviews that his company manufactures ID scanning technology that could have easily identified Faisal before he boarded the plane.
'For less than $1.5 million, the Department of Homeland Security could outfit the eight terminals at JFK with nearly 80 devices that could scan people at checkpoints. Our Defense ID technology can be implemented at airports around the country, giving them the ability to validate a person's identification in less than three seconds. In this case, Shahzad would have been detained at the gate rather than on the plane itself," said Dr Ludlow.
Dr Ludlow continued, "A recent national Zogby Poll said that nearly 90% of the American travelling public is in favour of having their ID scanned at the TSA checkpoint. The Department of Homeland Security claims to use a 'Layers of Security' approach, so we are advocating they need to add one more (or modify one), which is the 'Travel Document Checker' layer, instead of shining a light on the ID, which is useless. Technology that can check if an ID is fake, and check if the person is on the "No-Fly" list or other lists, needs to be employed. That way, if a guy buys a ticket at the last minute with cash, and other layers don't work, then the terrorist can be stopped at the TSA checkpoint."
The Times Square bomber, whom authorities have identified as Faisal Shahzad, failed in his attempt to detonate a car bomb in New York City on May the 1st. But he nearly succeeded in escaping the United States by boarding Emirates Flight 202 at New York's John F Kennedy airport bound for Dubai at around 11:45 pm on Monday night.
Deputy FBI director John Pistole said Shahzad's name was placed on the national "No-Fly" list just hours before he was arrested—hours after it should have been. Customs and border protection officials at JFK airport ordered that the flight be stopped shortly before takeoff, and they were able to arrest Shahzad on the plane and turned him over to the FBI. A senior counter-terrorism official says at the time he bought his ticket, the airline had not refreshed its information, so his name did not raise any red flags.
Just minutes from fleeing the country, Shahzad was finally matched with a passenger manifest after he had cleared ticketing and airport security, and taken his seat. US Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano declined to say how Shahzad was able to board the flight if he was on the "No-Fly" list. "He was ahead of the data," a police source said. "It wasn't until after he was aboard the aircraft that the information about him caught up with the manifest."
"Clearly the guy was on the plane and shouldn't have been, and we got very lucky," New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg told a midtown news conference.
Intellicheck's Defense ID System, which is being used at Andrews Air Force Base and many other military installations, is a handheld device that reads barcodes, magnetic stripes, on current forms of ID cards. By scanning and comparing the information to over 140+ "bad guy" and FBI Watch databases, Defense ID can immediately: determine if the ID is fake, determine if the ID is reported lost or stolen, determine if the individual has outstanding wants and warrants, and determine if the individual is on an authorized roster of previously cleared personnel. Also Defense ID has a photo capture capability, incident recording and a manual search option.

After two more glass panels were ruined on the Peace Bridge, Calgary's top transportation official revealed that vandals have, overall, caused more than $200,000 in damage to the bridge, forcing the city to upgrade the security camera system in the area. The helical steel pedestrian bridge, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and spanning the Bow River, was closed for several weeks this summer while a contractor replaced half a dozen cracked panels.

Apparently, eight glass panel have been replaced in total since the bridge opened in 2012. Glass handrail panels have been shattered. And, earlier this year, all the light fixtures had to be replaced because the original ones kept burning out during the cold winter months.

As a deterrent, officials have had to install an extensive surveillance system. Now, they're planning to copy a move made on a nearby bridge and install some speakers that will bark at you if you loiter for too long. "Sir, move along," the loudspeaker will politely intone.

The bridge was controversial at the get-go for its high price tag—$24.5 million. It was approved mere days before the 2008 financial crash. That being said, the Peace Bridge has proved to be quite popular with both locals and tourists.

I'm not trying to pin the blame for these cost overruns on Mr. Calatrava himself, but, wow, the guy just can't seem to catch a break:

BIG and Dialog's TELUS Sky Tower recently broke ground along 7th Avenue block in the heart of Calgary, Canada, a city full of corporate towers surrounded by low-density suburban neighborhoods. Unveiled in 2013, the 761,235 sq.ft commercial tower integrates both working and living environments into one structure that aims to make Calgary's city center more varied and walkable. The tower's textured glass façade complements yet stands out from its environment.

According to the TELUS Sky website, the 59-story tower will begin with dining and retail spaces as well as access to adjacent buildings. The tower also has 26 floors of office spaces ranging from 7,636 sqft-18,997 sq.ft, followed by 29 floors of residential spaces consisting of 326 executive rental suites.

"The large floor plates for workplaces recede to achieve the slender dimensions of residential floor depths. The texture of the façade in a similar fashion evolves from a smooth glass façade enclosing the work space to a three-di...

Who said that libraries were irrelevant in this digital age? Not the submitters in this competition. Since May, the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) in Alberta, Canada has been on the search for the architectural team to create a compelling design for the new Central Public Library in East Village. CMLC, the City of Calgary, and the Calgary Public Library held an open Request for Qualification as Stage One of a two-stage process to ultimately select the Prime Design Consultant.

 On August 1, CMLC announced the following four shortlisted firms—some who already have high-profile status—that will advance to Stage Two, Request for Proposal:

 3XN and AECOM (Denmark and Calgary)

 KPMB and BKDI (Toronto and Calgary)

 REX and Group2 (New York and Calgary)

The 750,000 square foot vibrant mixed-use tower will incorporate office, retail and residential space. There will be 430,000 square feet of office space, of which 155,000 square feet will be for TELUS. The development, scheduled for completion in the fall of 2017, will provide approximately 250 jobs for Calgarians, and engage local trades and companies to complete our vision.

 $400-million, 750,000 square foot LEED Platinum project to transform Calgary's skyline with an architectural marvel, creating a dynamic community of blended urban living and working

 Calgary, AB – TELUS is reaching for the sky with a new architectural landmark in Calgary's downtown core, transforming the entire 7th Avenue block into one of the most technologically innovative and environmentally-friendly sites in North America.

 "The TELUS team is tremendously proud of our longstanding history in Alberta and thrilled to announce the development of TELUS Sky, which will stand as a lasting symbol of our passionate commitment to the Calgary community, our customers, our team members and to the province of Alberta," said Darren Entwistle, TELUS President and CEO.

"It has been extraordinarily controversial and I made no bones of the fact that it's not a project I would have supported if I had been on council at the time," said the mayor. "But the thing is, it's there. It's an indelible and a permanent part of the landscape of our city. "It would all do us good to grow to love it." The span, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, is officially pegged at $24.5 million, but is expected to cost more.

Especially when trying to downplay the importance of being physically attracted to your partner?.
- YesVote A
- NOVote B
Most Helpful Guy
Yes. It's not just a phenomenon. It's a simple fact. Nobody looks good forever. Nobody. No matter how much you might want your partner to look good, they will eventually get older. Their skin will get looser, and maybe wrinklier, over time. Sight goes. Hearing fails. Age just happens.
Do you honestly think you'll be this perfect specimen of the human body forever? Do you really think you'll be desired for your looks alone, for the rest of your life? Do you really think you or your partner will not go through the same thing? If so, I hope you plan on dying young, and quick.
Yeah I know that it sounds grim. I know it sounds depressing, but it doesn't have to be. It's just a fact to face. People age. Looks fade. It happens. Might as well enjoy somebody for who they are, and not how they look. Heck, even if you were the type of person to give/get surgery to "fix" all the things that have changed over the years, that personality will still be there. You can't "fix" that.
So in conclusion, yes, I do believe it. I believe it to be a fact.

Hurricane Season 2012: The Predictions -- A Quiet Year in the Tropics?
With so few storms impacting the U.S. last season and with one of the worst droughts in recorded history gripping our region, it would be tempting to think that last year was a down year in hurricane production. In fact, it was quite the opposite.
In 2011, the Atlantic produced 19 named storms including seven hurricanes, of which four were of the major variety. A "normal" year is around ten named storms. Last year produced around a normal number of major storms, but an abnormally high number of tropical storms. Very few made landfall anywhere, let alone the U.S., but they were out there. It should be noted that predictions for an active season last year were nearly dead on the money, which brings us to prediction time 2012.
This year, despite two named storms cropping up before the season has actually started, all of the major storm-forecasting outfits including the National Hurricane Center are predicting a normal year in the Atlantic, which means around ten named storms, of which four or five will be hurricanes and two or three of those will be major -- a big change from last year.
The main reason for this shift is a decrease in sea surface temperatures throughout the Atlantic basin. Compared to last year at this time, it's positively cool out there, though temperatures right along the Texas coast are very warm.

Sea surface temperatures are one of the factors involved in either limiting or increasing the changes of developing storms. Storms need deep, warm water to develop and with less available, there is not enough fuel to develop large storms. The later in the year the seas warm, the lower the risk of storms.
Other factors for developing storms include wind shear and Saharan dust blowing off of Africa, to name a couple. But, there are truly a myriad of factors that influence the development of weather, hurricanes included.
A key reason for optimism is the prediction that an El Niño event will emerge over the Pacific Ocean during the hurricane season. El Niño tends to hinder the development of storms over the Atlantic basin due to the higher upper level winds it creates and sends across Mexico and Central America into the area.
The opposite of this is La Niña, which decreases wind shear over the Atlantic, making for favorable hurricane conditions. We had a La Niña event last season.
La Niña or El Niño aside, it only takes one hurricane to strike the area where you live to make it a really crappy year for tropical weather. Both hurricanes Alicia and Andrew were born in down years and those who know hurricanes know the impact they had. So, get your supplies ready and prepare to batten down those hatches...just in case.
Hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, with the peak coming between late August and middle September.

Delhi: Former Indian cricketer Madan Lal has suffered a heart attack and has been admitted to a hospital in Noida. He is believed to be in critical condition, the Times of India reported.
The cricketer-turned-politician is a Congress party candidate from Hamirpur in Himachal Pradesh, and it was during his departure to Hamirpur that he felt discomfort in the chest, following which he was hospitalised at 4 pm IST.
Lal, 58, played 39 Tests and 67 ODIs and was part of India's famous World Cup winning-team in 1983. He earned his name by his spell of three quick wickets that broke the back of the West Indies batting in the final at Lord's.
He was both a prolific run-getter and regular wicket-taker at the domestic level as well. His all-round record in the Ranji Trophy - 5270 runs and 351 wickets - is among the best in the national competition. After retirement, he kept in close touch with the game; he was appointed coach of the A team and then the senior squad before becoming a national selector.
