This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/066,115, filed Feb. 1, 2002, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,657,241 entitled "DISTORTION REDUCTION CALIBRATION".
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is related generally to wireless communication devices, and, more particularly, to a system and method for a distortion reduction calibration circuit in a wireless communication device.
2. Description of the Related Art
Wireless communication systems are proliferating as more and more service providers add additional features and technical capabilities. A large number of service providers now occupy a relatively limited portion of the radio frequency spectrum. Due to this crowding, increased interference between wireless communication systems is commonplace. For example, wireless communication systems from two different service providers may occupy adjacent portions of the spectrum. In this situation, interference may be likely.
One example of such interference occurs in a code division multiple access (CDMA) wireless system. In one embodiment, a CDMA system occupies a portion of the frequency spectrum adjacent to a portion of the frequency spectrum allocated to a conventional cellular telephone system, sometimes referred to as an advanced mobile phone system (AMPS).
Conventional CDMA units attempt to eliminate undesirable signals by adding filters following the mixer stage.
The output of the amplifier 16 is coupled to a splitter 18 that splits the processed signal into two identical signals for additional processing by a mixer 20. The splitter 18 may be an electronic circuit or, in its simplest form, just a wire connection. The mixer 20 comprises first and second mixer cores 22 and 24, respectively. The mixers 22 and 24 are identical in nature, but receive different local oscillator signals. The mixer core 22 receives a local oscillator signal, designated LOI, while the mixer core 24 receives a local oscillator signal, designated as LOQ. The local oscillator signals are 90� out of phase with respect to each other, thus forming a quadrature mixer core. The output of the mixer 20 is coupled to jammer rejection filter stage 26. Specifically, the output of the mixer core 22 is coupled to a jammer rejection filter 28 while the output of the mixer core 24 is coupled to a jammer rejection filter 30. The operation of the jammer rejection filters 28 and 30 is identical except for the quadrature phase relationship of signals from the mixer 20. The output of the jammer rejection filters 28 and 30 are the quadrature output signals IOUT and QOUT respectively.
The jammer rejection filters 28 and 38 are designed to remove unwanted signals, such as signals from transmitters operating at frequencies near the frequency of operation of the system 10. Thus, the jammer rejection filters 28 and 30 are designed to remove "out-of-band" signals. In operation, the jammer rejection filters 28 and 30 may be lowpass filters, bandpass filters, or complex filters (e.g., a single filter with two inputs and two outputs), depending on the implementation of the system 10. The operation of the jammer rejection filters 28 and 30 are well known in the art and need not be described in greater detail herein. While the jammer rejection filters 28 and 30 may minimize the effects of out-of-band signals, there are other forms of interference for which the jammer rejection filters are ineffective.
For example, distortion products created by the mixer 20 may result in interference that may not be removed by the jammer rejection filters 28 and 30. If one considers a single CDMA wireless unit, that unit is assigned a specific radio frequency or channel in the frequency spectrum. If an AMPS system is operating on multiple channels spaced apart from each other by a frequency ΔωJ, then the second-order distortion from the mixer 20 will create a component at a frequency ΔωJ in the output signal. It should be noted that the second order distortion from the mixer 20 will create signal components at the sum and difference of the two jammer frequencies. However, the signal resulting from the sum of the jammer frequencies is well beyond the operational frequency of the wireless device and thus does not cause interference. However, the difference signal, designated herein as ΔωJ, may well be inside the desired channel and thus cause significant interference with the desired signal.
In this circumstance, the AMPS signals are considered a jammer signals since they create interference and therefore jam the desirable CDMA signal. Although the present example refers to AMPS signals as jammer signals, those skilled in the art will appreciate that any other radio frequency sources spaced at a frequency of ΔωJ from each other may be considered a jammer.
If this second-order distortion signal is inside the channel bandwidth, the jammer rejection filters 28 and 30 will be ineffective and the resultant interference may cause an unacceptable loss of carrier-to-noise ratio. It should be noted that this interference may occur regardless of the absolute frequencies of the jammer signals. Only the frequency separation is important if the second-order distortion results in the introduction of an undesirable signal into the channel bandwidth of the CDMA unit.
Industry standards exist that specify the level of higher order distortion that is permitted in wireless communication systems. A common measurement technique used to measure linearity is referred to as an input-referenced intercept point (IIP). The second order distortion, referred to as IIP2, indicates the intercept point at which the output power in the second order signal intercepts the first order signal. As is known in the art, the first order or primary response may be plotted on a graph as the power out (POUT) versus power in (PIN). In a linear system, the first order response is linear. That is, the first order power response has a 1:1 slope in a log-log plot. The power of a second order distortion product follows a 2:1 slope on a log-log plot. It follows that the extrapolation of the second order curve will intersect the extrapolation of the fundamental or linear plot. That point of intercept is referred to as the IIP2. It is desirable that the IIP2 number be as large as possible. Specifications and industry standards for IIP2 values may vary from one wireless communication system to another and may change over time. The specific value for IIP2 need not be discussed herein.
It should be noted that the second-order distortion discussed herein is a more serious problem using the direct down-conversion architecture illustrated in
As noted above, the second-order distortion is often a result of non-linearities in the mixer 20. There are a number of factors that lead to imbalances in the mixer 20, such as device mismatches (e.g., mismatches in the mixer cores 22 and 24), impedance of the local oscillators, and impedance mismatch. In addition, factors such as the duty cycle of the local oscillator also has a strong influence on the second-order distortion. Thus, the individual circuit components and unique combination of circuit components selected for a particular wireless communication device results in unpredictability in the IIP2 value for any given unit. Thus, calibration of individual units may be required to achieve the IIP2 specification.
Therefore, it can be appreciated that there is a significant need for a system and method for wireless communication that reduces the undesirable distortion products to an acceptable level. The present invention provides this and other advantages as will be apparent from the following detailed description and accompanying figures.
Novel techniques are disclosed for distortion reduction calibration. In an exemplary embodiment, a distortion reduction circuit for use in a wireless communication device has a radio frequency (RF) receiver and comprises a gain stage having an input coupled to the receiver and an output with the gain stage controlling an amplitude of an output signal related to a second order nonlinear response within the receiver. An output coupling circuit couples the gains stage output to the receiver.
In one embodiment, the gain stage amplitude control is based on the amplitude of the second order nonlinear response within the receiver. The signal related to the second order nonlinear response within the receiver may be inherently generated by circuitry within the receiver or may be generated by a squaring circuit coupled to the receiver.
When implemented with an RF receiver generating a down-converted output signal, the output coupling circuit may comprise an adder having first and second inputs with the first input configured to receive the output signal from the receiver and the second input configured to receive the gain stage output signal. The gain stage may generate an output current related to the second order nonlinear response within the receiver. The output coupling circuit may be a direct connection to the down-converted output signal of the receiver.
In one embodiment, the circuit is for use in a factor calibration wherein the receiver generates a down-converted output signal and is configured to receive an external input signal to permit the adjustment of the gain stage to thereby minimize the second order nonlinear response of the receiver output signal.
In another embodiment, an automatic calibration circuit may be used with the wireless communication device wherein a signal source generates a test signal and a switch is selectively activated to couple the signal source to a receiver input terminal to couple the test signal to the receiver input terminal and thereby permit distortion reduction adjustments on the receiver.
The switch circuit maybe selectively activated in an auto-calibration mode or activated at predetermined times.
In one embodiment, the signal source comprises an internal signal generator. The internal signal generator may generate the test signal having multiple frequency components having a predetermined spectral spacing. In another embodiment, the wireless communication device includes an RF transmitter and the circuit may further comprise a transmitter control to control an input signal to the transmitter and selectively activated during the auto-calibration process to generate the test signal. In one embodiment, the circuit may further include an attenuator coupled to a transmitter output terminal to generate an attenuated output signal as the test signal.
The present invention is directed to a calibration circuit and method that simplifies the calibration process for individual wireless communication devices. The term "wireless communication device" includes, but is not limited to, cellular telephones, personal communication system (PCS) devices, radio telephones, mobile units, base stations, satellite receivers and the like. In one embodiment, the calibration circuit is used at assembly to compensate for variations in components. In an alternative embodiment, also described herein, an onboard calibration circuit can be used to compensate for component mismatch due to circuit aging or other changes in circuit operational parameters.
IIP2 performance presents a major challenge in direct conversion down-converters. The required values of IIP2 are usually very high and the actual performance tends to be difficult to predict because it is almost exclusively determined by statistical phenomena. That is, component mismatch tends to be a statistical phenomena. Even so-called "matched" components on an integrated circuit are subject to variations in operating characteristics due to processing variations of an integrated circuit. Similarly, external components are also subject to variation that is unpredictable and cannot be readily accounted for in designing a radio frequency (RF) circuit.
There are some known techniques for suppressing IIP2 distortion, but these processes tend to be complicated or introduce new spurs (i.e., undesirable frequency components) and require a change in frequency plan (i.e., reallocation of the frequency spectrum). In addition, these known techniques interfere with the RF path and will degrade other RF parameters such as noise figure and IIP3. As a result, these known circuits lead to more complicated circuitry, increased cost, and decreased performance.
In contrast, the present invention uses a feed-forward technique, which relies on a one-time calibration at the phone level. The circuitry of the present invention is designed such that it does not interfere with the RF path, and the RF path can therefore be optimized for other RF performance parameters (e.g., noise figure and IIP3), independently of IIP2. All of the calibration works at baseband frequencies, which facilitates the design and layout and enables lower power consumption.
As previously discussed, the second order nonlinear distortion is a significant problem in direct conversion receiver architectures (i.e., zero IF or low IF architectures). While heterodyne receiver architectures also generate second order distortion, other conventional techniques may be used to reduce the unwanted nonlinear distortion. For example, careful selection of the IF frequency followed by IF filtering may typically reduce the second order nonlinear distortion to an acceptable level in heterodyne receivers. While the discussion herein uses low IF or zero IF examples, the principles of the present invention may be applied to other receiver architectures, including heterodyne receivers.
Furthermore, the description presented herein may refer to a baseband signal, resulting from a low IF or zero IF mixing. However the principles of the present invention apply generally to a down-converted signal that is generated by a mixer. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the receiver architecture, but can generally be applied to any down-converted signal having a second order nonlinear distortion.
The present invention is embodied in a system 100, which is shown in an exemplary form in the functional block diagram of
The system 100 also includes a compensation branch 104, which comprises a squaring circuit 106, lowpass filter 108, and variable gain amplifier (VGA) 110. The squaring circuit 106 provides a squared version of the voltage VRF. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, the squaring circuit produces a number of undesirable harmonics at multiple frequencies. The low pass filter 108 is designed to eliminate the undesirable frequencies so that the compensation branch 104 does not produce undesirable interference. The VGA 110 is used to attenuate or amplify a compensation signal identified in
As illustrated in
For proper cancellation of the undesirable signal by the adder 114, the two IM2 currents (i.e., iIM2 and iIM2cal) must either be in-phase or 180 degrees out of phase. Due to the mechanism generating IM2, this is expected to be the case and will be derived below. As noted above, the RF block 102 contains conventional components, such as the mixer 20 (see
i IM2mix(t)=α2mix �V RF(t)2 (1)
Expressing VRF in polar form and taking into account that it may be attenuated by some factor αmix and phase-shifted by some phase φmix through the mixer circuitry, we obtain:
i IM2mix(t)=α2mix�(αmix �A(t)cos(ωRF �t+φ(t)+φmix))2 (2)
and expanding this yields
A portion of the signal represented by equation (3) is dependent on a value 2ωRF. This portion of equation (3) is of little concern in this analysis since it is very high frequency and will be filtered away using conventional techniques. However, the low-frequency part could land inside the desired baseband channel. So the IM2 product of interest from equation (3) is
Similarly, the IM2 compensation current generated at the output of the VGA 110 in
where αcal is a programmable scaling factor. Cancellation of IM2 by the adder 114 is achieved when
αcal=−α2mix�αmix 2 (6)
Thus, IM2 cancellation should be possible independently of the RF phase shift φmix through the mixer.
In a typical implementation of the RF block 102, the mixer cores are the main IM2 contributors. Therefore, to improve tracking between the IM2 source (i.e., the mixer core) and the IM2 calibration signal, it would be desirable to derive the IM2 calibration signal from the mixer cores themselves. This is fortunately straight-forward, because the emitter-nodes of the mixer core present a strong second-order non-linearity. Conceptually, the IM2 calibration circuit can be implemented as shown in the functional block diagram of
The RF block 102 comprises a transconductor 120, which receives the input signal RFin in the form of a differential voltage and generates differential output signals that are coupled to the inputs of a mixer core 122 through a series combination of a resistor R and a capacitor C. The output of the transconductor 120 illustrated in dashed lines are inputs to the other mixer core (not shown). The resistor R and capacitor C serve as current dividers to provide current to the mixer core 122 and the other mixer (not shown). The input currents to the mixer core 122 are identified in
The mixer core 122 is shown in
The transistor arrangement of the mixer core 122 illustrated in
The calibration current can be written as:
i IM2cal =I IM2cal1 −I IM2cal2 =α�g mcal�νE =α�g mcal�α2core �I RF 2 (7)
which is of the desired form.
Using the emitter node of the mixer core 122 as the IM2 source for the calibration is desirable because, from a simplified point of view, the IM2 generated by the mixer cores can be explained as the strong IM2 signal present on the emitter node leaking unequally to the two outputs due to mismatches in the transistors used to implement the mixer core. If no mismatch were present, the mixer core would not generate any differential IM2 because the emitter IM2 would leak equally to both sides. Thus, it would be expected that the output IM2 tracks the emitter IM2 (i.e., the output IM2 would be given as a mismatch factor times the emitter IM2).
In the absence of temperature dependencies, the calibration current characterized in equation (7) above would provide a suitable correction current to eliminate IM2 generated by the mixer cores. Unfortunately, simulations show that this mismatch factor is temperature dependent, and the dependency depends on the type of mismatch (e.g., emitter resistance mismatch gives a different temperature profile than base-emitter capacitance mismatch, etc.). In practice, one type of mismatch will typically dominate so that the temperature dependence is repeatable. Therefore, it is desirable to let the α factor have a programmable temperature dependence. Thus, the term α in equation (7) may be altered to include the following characteristic:
where αcal and βcal are programmable constants, T is temperature and T0 is the temperature at which calibration is performed.
The abbreviated schematic of
Firstly, we rewrite the various currents in terms of IA, IB, Iref, and ILF:
Observing that I4=0.5�(IB−IA), we additionally have:
and similarly
Using the translinear principle, in which certain products of currents may be equated to other products of currents, we find that:
I o1A �I 2b =I o2A �I 2a I o1B �I 2b =I o2B �I 2a I DAC1 �I 3b =I DAC2 �I 3a (12)
and with the definitions provided by equations (9) and the translinear equations (12), equations (10) and (11) reduce to:
from which we see
and thus
Hence, the IM2 compensation current is given as
The desired temperature variation can be implemented by letting the current IB be a bandgap-referenced current, and the current IA be a combination of bandgap and proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT):
I A =I BG�(1−βcal)+I PTAT�βcal
I B=αB �I BG (16)
This can be done very easily using programmable current mirrors, and we then obtain the desired function,
It should be noted that the form of equation (17) is similar to that of equation (8) above. Thus,
Due to the circuit topology, we must ensure that IB>IA. The current IB current must be set large enough to ensure this. This is done through the αB current mirror ratio described above.
As previously discussed, component mismatch in the mixer core 122 (see
On the LO port we may then have a signal component of the form,
νRFleakLO(t)=γleak I(t)cos(ωRF t+φ(t)+φleak) (18)
where I(t) and φ(t) are a polar representation of iRF(t) (i.e., iRF(t)=I(t)cos(ωRFt+φ(t))).
The mixer core 122 will generate a mixing product between the RF signal on the LO port and the incoming RF current. Thus we obtain a signal component at the mixer output as follows:
i out
where kmix is the conversion gain of the mixer core. Expanding the above expression yields:
As with the previous analysis, the high frequency component of equation (20) is easily removed with conventional filtering techniques and need not be considered further. However, it is necessary to consider the low-frequency part of equation (20), which may be represented as follows:
As is apparent, αleak is a constant. Thus, the IM2 caused by RF-to-LO leakage can also be corrected by the described calibration method. It is still advisable, however, to avoid RF-to-LO leakage. This can most effectively be done by ensuring low source impedance on the LO port at RF frequencies, (e.g., by using emitter-followers to drive the mixer LO port).
Since the IM2 is statistical in nature because of the variation in components and manufacturing processes, each wireless communication device will require unique calibration current values. In one implementation, the compensation branch 104 is adjusted as part of a final assembly process in a factory test. The process described above provides sufficient correction for the IM2 current in the wireless communication device.
In an alternative embodiment, the wireless communication device may include additional circuitry to provide self-contained auto-calibration. The auto-calibration process can be automatically performed by the wireless device at regular intervals. An auto-calibration circuit is illustrated in the functional block diagram of
The output of the receiver 146 is coupled to a mobile station modem (MSM) 148. The MSM 148 generically represents circuitry used for signal processing of the baseband signal. The MSM also processes baseband data for transmission. Accordingly, the MSM 148 is also coupled to a transmitter 150. The transmitter 150 is intended to encompass all circuitry involved in the modulation of baseband signals to the appropriate RF signals. The output of the transmitter 150 is coupled to a power amplifier (PA) 152. The PA 152 drives the antenna 140 via the duplexer 142 to transmit the RF signals. The operation of circuit components, such as the MSM 148 and transmitter 150 are well known in the art and need not be described in greater detail herein. The receiver 146 is also a conventional component with the exception of the added circuitry of the compensation branch 104 (see
Because CDMA is a full-duplex system, the transmitter 150 can be on at the same time as the receiver 146. The present invention takes advantage of this capability by using the transmitter 150 to generate a test signal on which to perform IM2 calibration. The simplified architecture illustrated in
The receiver 146 processes the received signal and the IM2 distortion caused by the receiver results in baseband distortion product. The MSM 148 can detect and minimize the distortion product by adjusting the IM2 calibration. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the calibration circuit of
The main signal generated by the transmitter 150 falls far into the stop-band of the baseband filter (not shown) and does therefore not contribute any power at baseband. Consequently, the only power detected by the MSM 148 is the IM2 distortion product and circuit noise. Thus, the MSM 148 can perform the IM2 calibration based on a simple power measurement.
In an alternative embodiment, illustrated in
The signal source 162 is coupled to the input of the receiver 146 by a switch 164. The switch 164 is activated only when the system 100 is placed in an auto-calibration mode. The auto-calibration can be performed at predetermined times, such as when the power is first applied to the wireless communication device. Alternatively, the auto-calibration can be performed periodically at predetermined time intervals.
It is to be understood that even though various embodiments and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, the above disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, yet remain within the broad principles of the invention. Therefore, the present invention is to be limited only by the appended claims.

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 653 reviews
The hotel location is only 5 minute walk to subway and close to Songshan airport. The buffet breakfast is included and lots of selections. The hotel staffs are friendly and helpful.
Three week family trip. This hotel was great. Free breakfast, free use of washer and dryer. Super convenient location with a nearby night market (albeit small), a sports center (running track, pay per use gym and pool), lots of shopping centers, near two lines of the MRT, and tons of small eateries nearby. The carpet was a little dated and could have used a cleaning and there were mosquitos in the lobby at times. Other than that, would definitely stay there again.
I had mix experiences with this hotel. In short, the service, location, room, price, facilities are all great. However, they don't have solid SOP for their employees which may cause some trouble during the stay. (which may include housekeeping entered the room without permission.. to avoid this you can just speak to the front desk before you going out, this will fix the issue perfectly. Also mixed customer service attitude.. mostly are great but a few are not so good.) Also there's lots of nice restaurants in walking distances (500m from the hotel entry), and not too far from MRT #5 exit. well, over all I will try again in the future and hope they can fix their customer service SOP asap.
Eight night stay for a couple from NYC - in town to visit family. We've been a fan of the Forward Hotel chain for many years and have used them often for our trips to Taipei. Affordability, good breakfast, free wifi and proximity to the MRT were key requirements for us...and Simple Plus met them all. You'll read in other reviews that the rooms are small. Of course they are, this is Asia. Our room had enough room for two large suitcases and two people to move around without much trouble. Fine by us. Breakfast (7a-10a) was excellent with both Western and Eastern options. We would have preferred it to be offered earlier for some of our "day trip" days, though. Wifi got saturated during the evenings, but was much better than most hotel wifi you get in the USA. Less than five minutes walk to the MRT (Wenhu line). Nanjing East Road has plenty of food and shopping options within walking distance...though the hotel itself is off a side street and therefore quiet. The staff is unfailingly nice in English and Mandarin and rapidly responded to the two minor issues we had with our room. Each time we've come to Taipei we've stayed in a different Forward Hotel. Simple Plus, we've decided, will be our "regular" in the future.
The location is excellent, 1 minute to MRT station, 5 minutes walk to the famous night market with all kinds of food choices. shopping is very convenient too. The service is outstanding, the front desk clerks are always smiling and willing to help you no matter what kind of question we were asking. When we were leaving they call the taxi service for us,and even help us to load 3 heavy luckage to the truck. The price may not be 5 star but the service is absolutely 5 star. The breakfast are wonderful too, we had different items everyday, free apples and coffee in the lobby with books and magazines for your choices. We love to stay here again and again!

This paper for Fintech 2.0 has been created by santander Innoventures, in collaboration with its partners Oliver Wyman and Anthemis Group.
Many fintechs have succeeded but today they are still operating only at the edges of banking. To help engineer more fundamental improvements to the banking industry, they must be invited inside, to contribute to reinventing our industry's core infrastructure and processes. That can succeed only as a collaborative endeavour, with banks and fntechs working together as partners.
This paper highlights the benefits of collaboration and identifies some of the opportunities dor profitable change in realising Fintech 2.0. We hope the whole industry -both banks and fintechs- recognise the value of this approach and join us in this collaborative journey to fintech 2.0

By the tickerspy.com Staff
Warren Buffett's extremely active 2008 has continued.
After high-profile investments in Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS - News) and GE (NYSE: GE - News), Buffett made a lower-profile move last week when a unit of his company, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A - News, BRK-B - News), sold puts in railroad Burlington Northern Santa Fe (NYSE: BNI - News), according to filings with the SEC.
The puts have strike prices of $77 and $80 and expire in December. By selling the puts, Berkshire has pocketed a premium and is obligated to purchase Burlington Northern at $80 and $77 if the stock is trading below those prices on the day the option expires. Essentially, Buffett is betting that Burlington Northern is unlikely to drop below around $71, his effective cost basis if the $77 puts are exercised. (His cost basis on the $80 puts is around $73).
The bottom line is that Buffett appears to be maintaining his bullish view of railroads, a view that he has held since early 2007 when he first disclosed investments in the sector.
Looking at Buffett's holdings from the start of Q3, Burlington Northern is joined by the other two railroads he has been investing in: Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC - News) and Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP - News).
Among Buffett's end-of-Q2 holdings, these railroads have been among the laggards so far. Rebounding financials have done best since mid-summer, including Bank of America (NYSE: BAC - News), U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB - News), Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC - News), and SunTrust Banks (NYSE: STI - News).
Looking at tickerspy.com's graph charting the performance of Berkshire's end-of-Q2 holdings during Q3, it's clear that Buffett's ability to stick with the financials that are most likely to weather the storm has served him well. His recent bullish bet on railroads bears watching, though.
However, investors won't be sure of where Buffett stands now until next month, when the deadline for Q3 filings hits.

Swing and sway the night away in this classic 40's inspired floral print tea dress.
In collared mock wrap over style with matching belt, lightweight fabric and flirty flippy skirt in a classic floral print, it's ideal for a number of occasions.
Dress features:
As mentioned in another review - the sizing for the sleeves is wrong. I'm a size 10-12 and the 12 cap sleeves don't even fit my size 8 flat mate! A shame considering how lovely the dress is - considering getting it altered, but not ideal.
I found that the dress fits in the waist and length and I had no trouble fitting into the sleeves. The problem is the bodice (back) is not made with enough material which restricts movement and therefore pulling on the sleeves which makes it very uncomfortable to wear. Such a pretty dress, shame about the incorrect fit!

There's plenty of time to talk draft and free agency, so let's just assume Thompson does his job and lands three immediate starters in those two NFL meat markets. Now, let's assume Javon Walker is healthy enough to be a season-opening starter, and he slowly becomes at least close to the game-breaker he was in 2004. And now let's assume the Packers find a competent starting running back, whether it's Samkon Gado, Ahman Green or a draft pick.
With those pieces in place, the Packers' schedule opens the door for an eight- or nine-win season, or, perhaps, even a playoff berth.
To refresh your memory, here is the Packers' schedule.
Home: Chicago (11-5), Detroit (5-11), Minnesota (9-7), Arizona (5-11), St. Louis (6-10), New Orleans (3-13), New England (10-6) and the New York Jets (4-12).
Away: Chicago (11-5), Detroit (5-11), Minnesota (9-7), San Francisco (4-12), Seattle (13-3), Philadelphia (6-10), Buffalo (5-11) and Miami (9-7).
To the losers go the spoils, and what spoils a last-place team receives. The Packers play nine games against teams that had double-digits losses. I'm no math major, but that's more than half of their games against the dregs of the league.
No, the Packers aren't going to win the Super Bowl next year, but really, can anyone argue that the Packers shouldn't win at least seven of those games against Detroit (twice), Arizona, St. Louis, New Orleans, the Jets, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Buffalo?
Sure, some of those teams will improve. That's the way the NFL works. But, like the Packers with Mike McCarthy, many of those teams — the Lions, Rams, Saints, Jets and Bills — are breaking in new coaches. Another one of those teams, the Cardinals, are always bad, so it's hard to imagine they'll be suddenly improved. Unless quarterback Alex Smith shows infinite improvement, the 49ers will be bad again, as well.
Add a season split with Minnesota — also with a new coach — and a home win against either Chicago or New England, and you've got nine wins, which might be good enough for a playoff berth.
Then again, maybe I'm just numb from minus-40 wind chills.
Oh, and one more thing. If Brett Favre retires, disregard this entire column.

John Michell a Tribute!!.... (First published, Stonehenge Campaign newsletter, June 2014)
For those who never read the cult classic "View over Atlantis", the book that almost overnight made ley lines and stone circles household words to millions who had never heard of them before, John Michell would be but a name. But for those of us that knew him, he was more than a name and/or a living legend, he was a friend.
As a penniless writer in the early sixties, John had the good or bad fortune to inherit a crumbling mansion near Newbury, which he couldn't afford to keep, and was too run down to sell. He hit on the idea of renting it out to more unconventional folk, a rock band for instance, and that band just happened to be the Rolling Stones, making Stargroves another legend in its own lifetime, as featured on the cover of Beggars' Banquet.
John, meanwhile, was living in a run down terraced house of his own in Notting Hill Gate, and letting the community use his basement for meetings, soirees, poetry, rap and music, in a project called the London Free School, out of which two more legends were to arise, John Hopkins' "International Times", London's first underground newspaper, and the original Notting Hill Carnival.
In 1967, whilst writing his first book, "Flying Saucer Vision", he visited Glastonbury, not only putting it on the map, but also setting the scene for the first ever Glastonbury Fayre to occur in 1971. In 1985, in response to the Battle of the Beanfield, he put out the now much sought after "Stonehenge, its Druids, Custodians, Festival and Future" which challenged commercialism and police state mentality, in the name of eternal spirituality and universal values.
In all, John Michell wrote over forty books and pamphlets, showing how the number system underlying Stonehenge, Glastonbury Abbey, the Great Pyramid, the works of Plato, and the Book of Revelation, was essentially the same. It was based on the ancient science of harmony and proportion between earth, moon and sun, known to the ancestors 5,000 years ago when building Stonehenge, not at all improved upon by modern science, which interprets everything as random. John showed how studying this "City of Revelation" could lead not just the individual, but humanity itself, to enlightenment. Which is why some people called him not just the greatest druid of his day, but the greatest philosopher since Plato.
John himself would have none of it, having scrupulously avoided the press all his life, he was the quintessential mercurial traveller, here today and gone tomorrow. He had a wicked sense of humour, and loved to party, and will be sorely missed by all who loved him.

What's genome engineering?
The principle of genome engineering is simple: it involves modifying the genetic code of an individual or species for the purposes of understanding the way it works, producing of useful proteins or treating a disease. Genetics has demonstrated the link between the physical attributes of species and their genes, and thereby shown how particular genes are implicated in certain diseases or attributes. Genome engineering enables species' genes to be modified in order to change certain attributes, to rectify an error, or to add a new trait of physiological or economic interest. This approach is not new: cross-breeding different plants or selecting the best animals for reproduction is based on the same principle. The aim is to improve species by giving them the best possible attributes – drought tolerance or pest resistance for crops, for example. The targeted approach of genome engineering is predictable, more reliable and more effective than earlier techniques. Knowledge of the sequence and location of the genes of living beings is therefore constantly improving, even though the workings of these genes are still not fully known. Our understanding in this field allows us to manipulate genes directly.
There are three possible strategies to do this:
• Insertion is used to add a new attribute to the genome. For example in drug discovery, or in order to overcome a genetic defect like hemophilia.
• Correction is used to replace an existing defective sequence (which generally impacts the gene's functions) by a functional sequence. For example, to treat a serious genetic disease such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
• Inactivation is used to prevent the expression of a gene. This approach can be used to treat persistent viral infections such as AIDS or herpes.

Are you considering a spiritual pilgrimage to Kirtland?
Why a Spiritual Retreat?
A spiritual retreat is an opportunity to more intentionally take time to draw closer with God. You can go on retreat as an individual or in a group. For groups, teams, or congregations, spiritual retreats can be a time to discern, vision, experience, and grow closer as a community.
"To be a pilgrim means to be on the move, slowly- to notice your luggage becoming lighter- to be seeking for treasures that do not rust- to be comfortable with your heart's questions- to be moving toward the holy ground of home with empty hands and bare feet." -Macrina Wiederkehr, Seasons Of Your Heart
Prior to arriving in Kirtland, there are many things that you or your group can do to prepare yourselves spiritually and immerse yourself in a pilgrimage in everyday life. Based on the theme of your retreat, the Spiritual Formation Center can create preparatory materials for or with you.
If you are seeking a historic pilgrimage to Kirtland, there is a wonderful resource developed by Barbara Walden and Bruce Crockett that connects the history of the Kirtland Temple with spiritual practices, stories and preparatory readings. If you are interested in a copy of this material, please contact us.

Sonya's Garden is a popular wedding destination on the hills of Tagaytay, in the main island of the Philippines, two hours away from Manila. I have always wanted to visit this garden tucked away from the bustling main road. Tagaytay was also the venue of my wedding, because it was the first place my husband and I went to when we were still dating.

I'm so thrilled to see the outcome today of a makeover project for a friend's apartment. Here's a sneak peek of her gallery wall at the dining area. She works in the airline industry as a cabin manager. Travel photos in black and white were framed into a collage of photographs. We bought a gallon of Clark+Kensington paint at Ace Hardware and painted the existing beige wall to grey. We're still missing two more chairs for this extendable dining table. I so look forward to visit her place upon my return to Dubai.

As these marketing interactions take place, the responses can be catalogued in the prospect database. Additional points of contact can be added. Notes from conversations with prospects can be recorded. And third party data can be appended. This data builds a profile of the decision makers, needs, and timing for a membership offer.
All of these marketing efforts keep the membership product in front of a prospective member and invites them to accept a sales presentation that is built on a knowledge base offering a high value membership proposal to the decision makers of a company. It turns the process from traditional cold calling to a solutions based conversation with a prospect. And even if the answer to a sales message is "no" it maintains ongoing communications so the membership is available when the prospect's need or interest changes.
