The system is adaptive and includes a plurality of simple quadrature phase shift keying modulators, each modulator having a plurality of controlling digital inputs, the states of which determine which of a plurality of phase displaced signals will be outputted.

This invention relates to digital signal modulation that employs quadrature amplitude modulation and, more particularly, to a digital signal modulator that is adaptive in response to a command to alter its modulated output.
Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) of transmission carriers by digital signals is a known method of digital modulation. For two phase state modulation, each bit has two reference phases, one phase for a value corresponding to one and one phase for a value corresponding to zero. The phases are shifted by 180� from each other.
In a four-phase QAM (or quadrature-phase-shift-keyer, QPSK) a carrier wave takes each of four different phase values (90� separated) depending on the values assumed by two bits. Such a four phase QAM (QPSK) is shown in FIG. 1 and includes a quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) circuit 10. A pair of digital inputs D1 and D2 are applied to mixers 12 and 14, respectively. The output of a local oscillator 16 is applied to a 90� hybrid 18 where it is separated into sine and cosine values that are respectively applied to mixers 12 and 14. The outputs from mixers 12 and 14 are summed in a summing circuit 20 to provide an output on line 22.
While inputs D1 and D2 take the form of binary values 1 and 0 within QPSK 10, those values are converted by level shifters (not shown) to d1 and d2, which exhibit digital values of +1 and -1, respectively. In this manner, a quadrature phase output from summing circuit 20 appears in the form of d1Asinωt+d2Acosωt.
In FIG. 2, the phases emanating from summing circuit 20 are shown by an I/Q plot of phase vectors 24, 26, 28 and 30. If values d1 and d2 are +1 and -1 respectively, the output signal on line 22 lags the phase of local oscillator 16 by 45�. Similarly, if d1 and d2 are, respectively, -1 and +1, the output phase lags by 135�, etc. QPSK 10 is thus enabled to output four separate phase signals in dependence upon the values of inputs D1 and D2.
In FIG. 3, a QAM is shown that enables the generation of 16 separate phase and amplitude signals in accordance with four digital inputs D1-D4. In this instance, a pair of QPSK modulators 30 and 32 are employed, each operating identically to QPSK 10 of FIG. 1. In this case, however, the output of QPSK 32 is fed through a 6 dB attenuator 34 before being applied to summing circuit 36. The resulting output on line 38 is a vector addition of the outputs of QPSK modulators 30 and 32 and is shown in FIG. 4.
As an example, if the output from QPSK modulator 30 exhibits the phase shown by vector 40, and the output from QPSK 32 is a signal having a phase as indicated by vector 42, then the resulting signal on output line 38 exhibits a phase as shown by vector 43 to a point 44. The 16 states of the four digital inputs D1-D4 cause the generation of a "constellation" of 16 points. A vector drawn to each point illustrates the phase and amplitude of a resultant output signal in response to the indicated digital input values.
Various modifications of the above noted prior art circuits appear in the following patents. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,571,549 to Lods et al., a 16 QAM is shown that converts a train of binary data signals into 16 predetermined phase and amplitude values. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,464,767 to Bremer, multiple, synchronous, QAM transmitters are employed that respond to an input binary bit pattern to produce output signals having phase and amplitude states defined by a 64 point constellation.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,168,397 to Bradley and 4,804,931 to Hulick show further versions of QAM devices for producing multi-state outputs in accordance with digital signals. Bradley describes an eight-phase PSK modulator, whereas Hulick describes a multiphase quadrature system that employs a plurality of cascaded combining circuits to achieve the multiphase output. U.S. Pat. No. 4,039,961 to Ishio describes a demodulator for a 16 QAM signal wherein the reference carrier is extracted from the received signal and is regenerated for demodulation purposes.
In all of the above noted prior art, the described modulators provide regularly arrayed phase, amplitude outputs in accordance with determined digital inputs. In each instance, the phase output is predetermined by the digital input value.
It is an object of this invention to provide a QAM system that is adaptive and can be adjusted in accordance with transmission system element characteristics.
It is another object of this invention to provide a digital modulation system that is adaptive and enables adjustment of the converter's output in accordance with predetermined control inputs.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a digital modulation system having a number of output amplitude/phase states that greatly exceed the number of possible digital transmission states, thereby enabling amplitude/phase states to be selectively chosen to compensate for non-linear and/or time dispersive elements of a transmission system.
Digital signals are converted to phase and amplitude altered, periodic, analog signals and emplaced on an output link. The system is adaptive and includes a plurality of simple quadrature phase shift keying modulators, each modulator having a plurality of controlling digital inputs, the state of which determines which of a plurality of phase displaced signals will be outputted. A local oscillator provides a periodic sinusoidal signal to each QPSK modulator. Summing circuits combine the outputs of the modulators so as to produce a constellation of phase and amplitude-displaced output sinusoidal signals. A processor/mapper combination enables conversion of a first set of digital inputs to a different set of digital outputs in accordance with a control input. Thus, the processor enables the alteration of the constellation of outputs in accordance with a control input, which may be indicative of the condition of a transmission facility.

The modulator shown in FIG. 5 builds upon the prior art modulator shown in FIG. 3. The number of QPSK modulators that comprise the circuit of FIG. 5 are determined by the precision required of the output constellation. For purposes of explanation, five QPSK modulators are shown which enable a potential constellation of 1024 possible phase-amplitude states (210). Each QPSK modulator is controlled by two binary inputs, with a ten bit binary word D1-D10 controlling the entire modulator.
Each QPSK modulator is capable of outputting a local oscillator signal with one of 4 phase states. Thus, QPSK modulator 100, in accordance with the states of bits D9 and D10, will produce one of 4 phase outputs. In a similar manner, QPSK modulator 102 will produce (in dependence upon the states of bits D7 and D8) a local oscillator frequency signal having one of 4 phase states. The output of QPSK modulator 100 is passed through a 6 dB attenuator and is summed (vectorially) in summing circuit 106 with the output from QPSK modulator 102. The result is passed through 6 dB attenuator 108 to summing circuit 110 and the procedure is repeated until the last of the summing circuits is reached (i.e., summing circuit 112). The resulting output on line 114 includes a signal having a phase-amplitude state constellation that results from a combination of the summed outputs of all the QPSK modulators, in accordance with the states of data input bits D1-D10.
Four binary inputs A1-A4 are applied to a constellation processor 130. It is to be understood that binary inputs A1-A4 are selected merely for explanation purposes and other numbers of binary inputs may be used to control the operation of the circuit of FIG. 5. A constellation control input 134 is applied to constellation processor 130 and controls which of 1024 possible bit states of digital outputs D1-D10 are addressed in a mapper 132 by various states of inputs A1-A4.
As is known, binary values on inputs A1-A4 can exhibit any one of 16 separate digital bit patterns. Each bit pattern causes constellation processor 130 to address a particular set of bits D1-D10 in mapper 132 (in accordance with a command on input 134). The selected states of bits D1-D10 control the operation of the QPSK modulators to provide a particular phase amplitude signal state on output line 114. Thus, the 16 states that can appear on input lines A1-A4 cause 16 (of a possible 1024) separate bit states on output lines D1-D10.
In FIG. 6, a plot shows the 32�32 constellation of phase amplitude vector points that can be generated by the circuit of FIG. 5. Each vector originates at the intersection of the I/Q axes and proceeds to an intersection of the grid plotted on the graph. 16 separate points in the constellation are illustrated to enable visualization of the analog phase values that are created (in this example) from digital inputs A1-A4. By altering the commands on constellation control input 134, processor 130 can be caused to change the matching of the states on inputs A1-A4 to the states of D1-D10 in mapper 132. Thus, in the event of non-linear distortion on output line 114 (or a transmission element connected thereto), the analog outputs thereon (corresponding to inputs A1-A4) may be rearranged so that they compensate for the expected distortions. Such "rearrangement" is accomplished by a constellation adjuster function 135 in constellation processor 130. The operation of adjuster function 135 will be further explained in the discussion of FIG. 7.
In summary, the quadrature phase shift keyers shown in FIG. 5 are capable of providing analog outputs with any of 1024 phase relationships. Those phase/amplitude relationships are controlled by digital values appearing on inputs D1-D10. The specific binary values emplaced on inputs D1-D10 are controlled by constellation processor 130 in accordance with a constellation control input 134 and the contents of mapper 132. Thus, the 16 states of inputs A1-A4 can be matched to any of 16 of the 1024 values of D1-D10 and cause corresponding analogue phase outputs to be placed on line 114.
In FIG. 7, the system of FIG. 5 is shown employed in combination with a non-linear transmission element, in this case, a schematically shown traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) 200. TWTA 200 can be modeled as a bandpass filter (BPF) 202 followed by a non-linear element (NLE) 204. The system's objective is to suppress intersymbol interference at the input to NLE 204, since once NLE 204 acts upon a signal corrupted by significant intersymbol interference, the resulting performance degradation (bit error rate vs. signal-to-noise ratio) is largely unrecoverable.
Within constellation processor 130 is shown three functions that enable the generation of a properly oriented constellation to overcome transmission non-linearities of TWTA 200. Mapper 132, as aforedescribed, provides an initial mapping of inputs A1-A4 to a vector defined by one constellation point in a regular 16 QAM constellation (for example), such as shown in FIG. 8A. The resulting digital phase and amplitude of the chosen vector is fed to a constellation adjuster function 135 that includes a non-linear compensation function 210 and a transversal equalizer 212. Non-linear compensation function has been pre-loaded to enable it to adjust the output from mapper 132 to compensate for the non-linearities to be experienced in NLE 204 (such as AM/AM and AM/PM distortion). More specifically, non-linear compensation function 210 modifies the phase and amplitude of the phase vector from mapper 132 so as to complement the expected effects of NLE 204. A representative altered constellation output from non-linear compensation function 210 is shown at FIG. 8B.
The output from non-linear compensation function 210 is fed to a transversal equalizer 212 (e.g., a finite impulse response filter) to enable the inputs to NLE 204 to have minimal intersymbol interference. Coefficients and delays within transversal equalizer 212 are selected and pre-loaded in accordance with the transmitted symbol rate and impulse response of BPF 202. In this manner, symbols inputted to NLE 204 have minimum ISI at the ideal sampling instant of the waveform.
Transversal equalizer 212 is only required in cases where the principal spectrum of the output is comparable to the bandwidth of BPF 202, and cases where the impulse response of BPF 202 is comparable to the time duration of a transmission symbol. The response of the system from the input of transversal equalizer 212 to the output of BPF 202 is thus essentially free of inter symbol interference. A representative constellation output from transversal equalizer 212 is shown at FIG. 8C.
Those skilled in the art will realize that the functions of mapper 132 and non-linear compensator 210 may be combined into a single function since the mapping function can map its inputs onto a predistorted map. This mapping function can be implemented as a RAM look-up table. Thus, in situations where the characteristics of NLE 204 are subject to drift due to component ageing or other causes, the table can be adapted accordingly.
FIGS. 8A-8E show constellations corresponding to points A-E of FIG. 7. An example constellation, i.e, a 16 QAM, is given in FIG. 8A. After the action of non-linear compensator 210, the constellation of FIG. 8B results and no longer resembles a conventional 16 QAM. The transversal equalization injects intersymbol interference and the constellation of FIG. 8C is the result. After passing through the bandshape distortion of BPF 200, constellation D results (FIG. 8D). Note that most of the ISI is removed.
Finally the TWTA non-linear distortions in NLE 204 reverse the previously forced constellation distortions and a familiar 16 QAM constellation appears (FIG. 8E). Some residual constellation spreading is apparent, particularly in the inner states attributable to imperfect transversal equalization compensation of BPF 202. This results from non-linear distortion operating on the non-fully equalized constellation at D, coupled with the higher gain for the inner states (small signals in the TWTA) compared with a lower gain for the outer states (nearing TWTA saturation).
It must be recognized that point D does not physically exist, but is a conceptual interface in the hypothetical TWTA model. The non-linearities and bandshaping of TWTA 200 that were used in deriving the constellations of FIGS. 8A-8E are shown in FIGS. 9A, 9B, 10A and 10B.
It should be understood that the foregoing description is only illustrative of the invention. Various alternatives and modifications can be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the invention. For instance, compensation for time dispersive elements in the transmission medium (filters, propagation media) may be performed by combining successive data words (A1-A4) with appropriate digitally controlled combining coefficients to create "conjugate" intersymbol interference. This interference and the resulting signal at the medium output has far less intersymbol interference. The result is that the signal thus processed, exhibits a lower overall probability of bit error in the presence of medium induced noise than if this "conjugate" intersymbol interference was not included. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variances which fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Hey Deb,Great retrospective about a time that was less friendly to the trucking industry. Also glad to hear that some former detractors have at least partially softened their positions.As an industry, trucking needs to do much, much more to promote its reputation to the public at large. Many great programs like Goodyear's Highway Hero awards recognize the positive side of the industry, but unfortunately, are not well publicized outside of the industry.The Truck Writers of North America (TWNA) organization has endeavored to correct inaccurate mass-media coverage of the trucking industry, and help mass-media journalists learn about the trucking industry. However, the organization does need the help of everybody in the industry to spot inaccurate reporting, so that we can facilitate the outreach process. Links and clips can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com for review and follow-up.

reference: NC 35
Shade bought: Barcelona
One thing i hate is when the title of a product does not live to its name. I found this foundation not sheer at all but that didn't bug me. What bugged me is that its a water foundation and yet it was drying on my normal skin. Honestly, i don't think i'll buy another NARS foundation again.
THEREFORE, i believe that this foundation will suit people will slightly oily skin because it won't be that drying on their faces. Overall it is an okay foundation but not worth the price
I used to use Mac studio fix in nw20, but i think this foundation in Deuville is the best colour for those who want a really nice balance of tones, the warmth of pink without looking sunburned, and the flawless look of a yellow tone.... it looks non cakey and feels really comfortable on during the day!
I bought the Sheer Glow in Punjab on a whim, and I have to say, it is my ultimate favorite. I have very dry skin, and this adds a nice glow to my skin without having any shimmer or sparkles in it. The color is perfect for me, I didn't have any problems with a match. The coverage isn't as full as my old foundation (Studio Fix Fluid by MAC), I'd say it's medium coverage. Love love love. Only gripes is the price ($43?!) and no pump!! You can purchase a pump off of the NARS site though... and the price, it's a little steep, but you 100% get what you pay for. I will always re-purchase this.
I love this product! But it is quite expensive, and for the price I paid, it should come with a pump. The shade is a little bit too yellow for me, but it makes my skin so flawless when I set it with the MUFE HD powder. I probably won't buy it again for awhile.
More reviews by wickedfreethinker
I normally use this foundation only on special occasions. It started out as an everyday foundation for me, but I work 10 hour shifts and it tends to be a little more oily than I would like by the end of the night; however, when I first apply this my skin looks flawless. I am an NC 20 in MAC and I wear deauville. I think it may be a little lighter than my skin, but it matches well. I dust Cover FX Matte FX powder in light to "set" the foundation and it keeps me shine free for about 5 hours. It does blend well and I like the consistency. Best of all, its not to "sheer" I would say medium coverage and buildable. Like I said, the only gripe I have is that it does make me look oily after awhile.
I hate that you have to buy a pump separately, I think that's definitely the downfall to the packaging, otherwise I really love the sleek packaging of NARS products.
I like this foundation. I have a hard time finding the right color, but deauville works well for me. I am usually a mac nc25 if that helps. I find most SA always try to match me darker. As a rule I never wear the same foundation two days in a row. That way it keeps break outs at bay.
I've been wearing this a couple of weeks and so far I'm very happy with it. I switched from BE because my older skin wasn't responding as well to mineral foundation and I was get a lot of caking in the fine lines. I don't have that problem with this foundation and it does moisturize my face. I was matched to Punjabi, I wore golden fair in BE. I think this line is a bit more yellow than I'd like, I'm not sure it's my HG foundation due to the yellow hue, I may try a different shade and see if that works better for me. I hate the bottle, that it doesn't come with a pump, and the cap doesn't line up so it always sits crooked and I'm afraid it's going to spill if I have to travel with it. Still, on my almost 40 year old face, it blends nicely, doesn't cake, lasts a good 6 to 8 hours, doesn't pill if I use a mattifying powder later in the day to touch up the shiny spots, and goes smoothly over the Smashbox primer and my usual moisturizer and sunscreen. I wish it had sunscreen, that would make it closer to a 5 lippie rating. I did try the matte version and it made my skin look lifeless, so I do think the sheer glow formula does make a difference. Try the matte and the glow and see if you prefer one to the other.
Edited that I've been using it for over a month, it's still on the yellow side for me. I may need to go lighter. I like what it does for my skin. The biggest gripe is even when I set with powder it has terrible transfer. That alone may drive me to try a different brand, but I'll finish what I have first.
I agree this in something between mufe f&b&hd.I still prefer f&b over this because of the finish;like no other,prettier,great skin comments..
but this is more longlasting.But I prefer this over Mufe hd. It doenst stick to dry patches.Looks very natural when applied with fingers,melts into skin.Colour Deauville looked quite yellow but blended into exact match (hd115).I dont really see much "glow"..The coverage is enough for me to even skintone and covering minor redness;it is buildable,for medium coverage.It lasted well for an 9h day,no caking, and no oily slick on my dry/comp.skin like Diorskin nude(Thanx Nurken for the swap:)).Not HG,but quite close.I dont see anything in the inc.list that would break me out.I dont mind that theres no pump;the opening is small,unlike f&b.
I dont know if I will buy it again for full price,Guerlain is next on my list.
UPDATE; Officially HG material. When I get application right, not too much or little with Sigma F80, I get great skin comments. That also must mean that Deauville IS a match. I was about to order Mont Blanc because this is almost used! Or maybe that would match too..Seems I`m able to wear neutrals, pinktoned and bit yellow-toned fndns (must be b/c of some redness in my skin).

Even thought this product is recommended for dry to very dry skin types I do not believe that it is suited to dry skin. It leaves the skin looking powdery, there is no glow whatsoever, which is usually the reason someone with dry skin would buy a foundation like this.

HG LOVE. This is my go-to foundation. It's the one I use when I don't want to worry about what's on my face, because I know it will control my oiliness (around the nose), cover my red cheeks, and- most importantly- hold up throughout the day. I do not set with powder and the foundation has a beautiful, natural skin finish.
I am half Asian, NC30-35 and wear Punjab, which is a PERFECT match. I shake the bottle HARD and apply with my fingers- this is the only way you should apply this product as your fingers will warm it up and melt it into your skin! When I am wearing it, I can't even tell I have anything on- and I scrutinise my skin A LOT when I'm wearing foundation.
My only criticism is the packaging- there is no pump (you can purchase a pump separate but Nars do not include it as standard because the product really needs to be shaken!) so it does get a bit messy and product gets around the opening. Occasionally I've used this "spilled" product by wiping my finger around the opening (to try and clean it up a bit!) and applying that on my face but have found that the colour turns a little orange because it has slightly oxidised. However I do not find that the colour oxidises on my face when I am wearing it.
Will definitely repurchase.

All This, and Heaven Too
by Rachel Field
This number-one bestselling novel is based on the true story of one of the most notorious murder cases in French history. The heroine, Henriette Deluzy-Desportes, governess to the children of the Duc de Praslin, found herself strangely drawn to her employer; when the Duc murdered his wife in the most savage fashion, she had to plead her own case before the Chancellor of France in a sensational murder trial that helped

On the heels of The Late George Apley, the novel for which he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1939, John P. Marquand turned his gently satiric gaze on his own profession-the writing life-in this delectable portrait of a stagnant yet distinguished literary family in early 20th-century Boston.

Mercer County's portion of the Hatfield-McCoy Trails system has been named in honor of Pocahontas Land Corporation.
The new Pocahontas Trail System will add between 80 and 100 miles of trails to the system. It's expected to be completed by late summer or early fall.
Hatfield-McCoy marketing director Mike Pinkerton tells the Bluefield Daily Telegraph that Pocahontas Land Corporation is a longtime supporter of the trail system.
Trail officials also are asking local ATV riders for help in naming landmarks in the other trail systems in southern West Virginia.

Social media is abuzz with activities of various candidates contesting in the Lok Sabha elections here.
Several candidates such as CPI (M)'s B. Vikraman, DMDK's D. Sivamuthukumar, AAP's M. Kamacis, Congress' T.N. Bharat Natchiappan and DMK's V. Veluchamy have active Facebook accounts in their names.
P. Sethuraman, district president of Congress, says, "Online campaign is evoking a good response."
Mr. Natchiappan's account is loaded with campaign photos posted by cadre. Mr. Natchiappan has no time to update anything himself because of a packed campaign schedule, says Mr. Sethuraman.
Mr. Kamacis acknowledges the role social media played in popularising the party among the masses and says, "Campaigns through SMS and social media are gaining prominence with the changing times. People are becoming averse to the conventional campaigning methods."
Team AAP in Madurai is currently working on establishing the party in the city and campaigning for votes, leaving little time for social media interaction, he adds. "With the probabilities of online voting being discussed already by the people, I think online campaigning will play a larger role in helping people to choose candidates in future," Mr. Kamasis says.
Mr. Vikraman believes that meeting people and interacting is the best way to campaign. However, he admits that online campaign helps candidates reach out to the younger generation among voters. The DMK has an active network in WhatsApp, says a DMK member. Mr. Veluchamy's account has photo updates of DMK campaign.
The AIADMK is yet to make its presence online.

By Odin's ravens! Every time I see The Destroyer I get a little Kirby crackle down my spine. I hope the Marvel people (Bendis, Joe Q, etc,…) have kept Ken B. on track with this story-wise.
I'm warming to this – Green Lantern and Captain America look like blu-ray rentals to me but this.. aye I will journey to Midgard for this.
Where's his helmet??? He must wear it for only two minutes in the damn movie…
I like this trailer much better. It actually makes me interested in seeing the movie! The bits involving Natalie Portman and the other gal look entertaining. The bombastic Asgard stuff emphasized in the first trailer looked cool enough, but really needed some down-to-earth material to balance it.
Ken B. doesn't need any help — he knows that Shakespeare was the blockbusting crowdpleaser of his day so there's no wall to break down between Branagh's highbrow CV and his showman's ambitions. He also understands that Lee & Kirby's most immediate mythic canon was not the Edda but Flash Gordon, so the movie-serial Asgard looks as apt as the Pan's Labyrinth/Fritz-Lang-Sigfried murk & monsters. Among all 2011 comic movies this is gonna be the one to beat. With a hammer. In the face.
I didn't know Kat Dennings was in this! And she tases Thor! By the bristling balls of Balder!!
oh yeahhhh…. by the hoary hangers of Hagar! Hogun? WHomever!

Termanology - Who's The Nicest
Artist: Termanology
Producer: DC
Album: Termanology & Ghetto: 2 Of Americaz Most Wanted
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 26 votes )
Following his well-received opinion of The Music Industry, Massachusetts MC and DJBooth underground favorite Termanology is ready to bring the streets another mixtape. Teaming up with Ghetto to form 2 of Americaz Most Wanted, Term is ready to show everyone Who's The Nicest. Although this go-round is one of his shorter offerings (clocking in at just under three minutes), Term isn't at all constrained by the time, rapping about his street soldier-esque disregard for corrupt law enforcement and his endorsement of the Democratic Party. Add an epic-sounding string beat, courtesy of producer DC, and it's a wrap! Who's The Nicest proves that the age-old quote, "nice guys finish last" simply doesn't apply here.

Northern Colorado professor's work with snake venom could lead to cancer cure
Professor Stephen Mackessy lectures to one of his classes. Mackessy has been working with snake venom for six years. Samantha Valenzuela | The Mirror
Colleges have long been at the forefront of scientific research, and UNC is no exception. Most notably, the University of Northern Colorado's own Stephen Mackessy recently received a $50,480 grant for a cancer research project he has been involved with for six years.
Mackessy's current project began in 2006 when an undergraduate student named Michael Bradshaw expressed interest in working with cancer and finding potential treatments for it through lab work and research. Both Bradshaw and Mackessy were cancer survivors with a keen interest in finding a more effective way to treat the disease.
"This was really just sort of a 'stars aligned correctly' kind of thing," said Mackessy, who works in the College of Natural and Health Sciences. "I had just received some grant money in 2006, and I had an undergraduate - a highly intelligent, motivated individual - who was interested in working with cancer."
Mackessy is speaking about his ongoing research in possible treatments for certain types of cancer using certain compounds in snake venom. The research has attracted the attention of some important patrons, likely because of its innovative nature.
One such party is the Colorado Office of Economic Development & International Trade, which gave Mackessy $53,260 for research in 2006. When results looked promising, the office approved another $50,480 bioscience grant for it to continue.
"One of the things we were interested in," Mackessy said, "was what particular venoms from snakes were most effective at killing cancer. We screened 40 to 50 snakes from all over the world - vipers, cobras, rear-fang snakes. We wanted to find out if there were compounds in the venom that could serve as a drug for certain disorders. We were also interested in looking at venoms from snakes that hadn't been looked at before."
While snake venom might hold the key to a potential cure for certain ills such as breast, colon and skin cancers - which kill more than 100,000 people every year - simply injecting people with venom won't cure cancer.
"It's like a shotgun blast with a number of different pellets," Mackessy said. "There might only be one magic bullet that works. If you take an everyday prairie rattlesnake from just outside of town, it probably has 50 to 100 different proteins in its venom. So we take it apart. We look at compound one, two, three, four and see how it reacts with cancer cells."
The process, while sometimes quite fruitful, takes a long time, which is the reason the project has continued for six years and requires the aid of the bioscience grants. Routinely breaking down snake venom and testing each of its compounds to see how they react with cancer cells is time-consuming.
While Mackessy has remained at UNC and continues research, Bradshaw has since graduated and moved on, securing a position at the prestigious Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
Since then, UNC graduate student Anthony Saviola has been helping Mackessy in the lab, putting to use this most recent grant from the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade.
In addition to receiving grant money for his research, Mackessy has also attracted the eye of a few drug companies, who have potential interest in working with the compounds in snake venom to develop a cure.
The project has received a fair amount of press lately, as scientists like Mackessy have shown that the bite of venomous serpents might be at the center of a more effective cancer treatment. Given the politics and the process of pharmaceutical companies in America, however, it will take time before anything resembling a shelf-ready drug is on the market.
Still, Mackessy says he has some promising leads that both the government and the drug companies are interested in developing.
While the research is incredibly important with some far-reaching consequences, Mackessy says he also simply enjoys working with the cold-blooded specimens on a personal level as well.
"The animals themselves are pretty cool," he said. "The venom, however, is even cooler."

True stories from the high seas
Trapped in a Cabin
A woman phoned the reception desk. She was frantic. "I can't get out of my
cabin." The receptionist was confused but concerned. He tried to calm the
lady down and find out just exactly what the problem was.
"You can't get out of your cabin?" he asked. "Is the door jammed?" "No"
she said, "there is no door!" The receptionist assured her that there was a
door. "NO" she exclaimed. "There is the bathroom door, the closet door
and one other door but it has a "Do Not Disturb" sign on it!"

Data Privacy Month
Data Privacy Month (DPM) is an annual effort to empower people to protect their privacy and control their digital footprint, as well as escalate the protection of privacy and data as everyone's priority. Data Privacy Month will be celebrated in 2014 starting with Data Privacy Day on January 28 and running through February 28. Spend the month helping to ensure your campus community is respecting privacy, safeguarding data, and enabling trust. Visit the Data Privacy Month website for examples of campus activities, as well as archived recordings of previous webinars. It's never to early to begin planning your institution's efforts!

With the explosive growth of electronic networks and wide accessibility of online information, EDUCAUSE members -- along with many other higher education constituencies -- are dealing with a formidable set of privacy issues. A key set of issues revolves around the handling of student information, which under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 enjoys special protection.

Jericho Interview: Triple H Running WWE, WWE PG vs. PG-13, More
by Staff - February 26, 2011
- Chris Jericho recently spoke with Slam Wrestling and here are some of the highlights:
Triple H taking over WWE:
"He's going to take over the company. This isn't the year 2000 anymore where he was trying to bury me. Nobody wants to be Bruce Hart, where he takes over Stampede Wrestling and goes out of business two years later after his father had it for 40 years."
Returning to WWE:
"It could be two days down the road. I'm still a huge fan of the business. When it's time to go back, I'll go back."
Favoring a PG-13 product:
"I think I did better in the PG-13 environment. It's easier to get pops when you say, 'ass.' they're going 'tee-hee-hee, he said a swear word.' I wasn't really doing any swearing. I just go with the flow. If I have to do an X-rated environment, I'll do that. And if it's PG, I'll do that."

Mourinho in another spat with Wengar
Jose Mourinho was involved in a touchline spat with Arsene Wenger during the recent 2-0 win for Chelsea against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. For a change, Mourinho was not the perpetrator after Wenger came into the opposition touchline, laid his two hands and pushed him. After the defeat, Wenger claimed that he did not appear to do anything wrong because he was merely protesting the referee's decision not to award a red card for Gary Cahill after his challenge on Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez.
Mourinho Claims Hazard Will Sign NEw Contact
Jose Mourinho has claimed that Chelsea's star midfielder Eden Hazard will sign a new contract within one month. The Belgian international is fast becoming one of the best players in the world. Last season, he was a major source of goals and assists for the West London outfit. Despite a poor World Cup 2014, the 23-year-old is expected to play a key role in the Premier league and Champions League campaigns this season.
Drogba Played First Match Of New Tenure
Didier Drogba played his first match of his new tenure at Chelsea yesterday as he was sent onto the pitch as a substitute in the second half of the pre-season friendly match against the German club SV Werder Bremen. He couldn't create an impact though as the Blues ended up losing that game by 0-3.
Mourinho Aware Of Boards Need To Perform
Right through the last season, the Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho, kept on saying in his interviews that his side was not the strongest contender to win the league title. He tipped Manchester City for being the Champions and that's what exactly happened.
The Blues themselves were not that bad though. They finished at the third position in the table.
Azpilicueta Believes Club Will Benefit Costa Signing
Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta says that the club will certainly benefit from the signing of Diego Costa, which is expected to be officially announced in the next few weeks. Chelsea have been working very hard to bring in the Atletico Madrid striker. They are believed to have agreed a £ 32 million deal, which matches the release clause figure in his contract. Apart from this, there are also thought to have agreed a £ 150,000 per week contract as well. They have been very keen to sign the player before the World Cup 2014.
Mourinho Set to Endure Another Season Without Silver
Chelsea manager José Mourinho is set to endure a second season without any trophy on a personal level after his Chelsea team were knockout of the league title race following a 0-0 draw with Norwich city. Mourinho failed to lift any major title with Real Madrid last season. Only a few weeks ago, Chelsea were in contention for both the Premier league and Champions League. However, their season has come to an end in the space of a few days after being knocked out by Atletico Madrid in the semifinals of the Champions League.
Chelsea manager José Mourinho has claimed that he is proud of his team after they managed an improbable comeback in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Chelsea were trailing PSG 3-1 on aggregate from the first leg.
The late goal from Pastore in the first leg looked to have changed the whole dynamic of the tie because Chelsea needed two goals in the second leg in order to go through. However, they achieved this by the way of some never say die attitude, which has already been seen at Stamford Bridge in 2012.
Jose Mourinho has been downplaying Chelsea's title ambitions throughout this campaign. He has consistently stated that Chelsea can be considered as title challengers only from next season onwards, as he is still building his team.
Chelsea are expected to make a move for striker Radamel Falcao in the summer after he has been consistently linked with the West London outfit over the last few years. Jose Mourinho, perhaps, made the interest public after admitting that a player like Radamel Falcao needs to play at a big team.
He has condemned the decision by the player to move to Monaco by saying that this is a decision he should have taken only at the end of his career. Falcao is believed to be one of the highest-paid players in the world after completing his £ 50 million move to Monaco.
There is some good news for the fans of the England national football team. They might be able to see one of their key players Theo Walcott playing in the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
A Scot doctor Gordon Mackay has said that he can help the Arsenal striker get back to full fitness in just about 15 weeks or so. That means Walcott would be able to represent the Three Lions in the World Cup which will start in the second week of June.

The North Face Clothing and Gear
Best Sellers
User Reviews of Products
I really loved the boot but the sizing runs small. I normally wear a 10 in womens, and I ordered a 11 and it was too small.
This is a super light weight, thin and warm North Face jacket. I was afraid it would be too puffy but it was perfect. It also blocks the wind well. Great Jacket.
I bought a size 10 which ended up being a bit too being as I am normally an 8, but I often find these kinds of pants sit too high and awkward hence the larger size. I should have got the 8 though as the ones I bought were too long and ended up dragging in the mud. But thank goodness for the ability to adjust to a Capri or shorts which was perfect for the warmer days, and also the raw string to hold them up a bit. It was very water resistant and had no problem staying dry. And being so lightweight I could put tights underneath to keep me warm on the cold days. Very happy with these North Face pants!
I really like this North Face vest. My only disappointment was that it looks like a dark grey than a true black. But, I loved the feel and for the excellent price it is awesome. Shipping was very fast.
This is a very nice North Face jacket. It's just what I was looking for in a shell for skiing, it has enough room to layer beneath and move around, plus very waterproof so makes a nice rain jacket on it's own. size and color run true. Very great value!
These North Face boots are nice but run large, you should order at least 1 size smaller
Fast shipping!! I love this North Face vest!! Love the light weight of the vest. True to size.
This North Face tee is true to size, pretty color, and soft. Perfect. Oh, and very fast shipping!
The fit is perfect on this North Face vest, it is not bulky and is longer through the torso which I like. Great to stay warmer during the Fall :)
Bought this North Face hoodie for my daughter and she loves it.
