A couple of weeks back, I was rather pleased with myself for coming up with the phrase "policy-based evidence making" to describe New Labour's cavalier way with scientific advice. Suddenly, post-Nutt, the phrase is popping up all over the place, sometimes attributed to me (thanks, Obnoxio and Bella) sometimes credited to Matthew Taylor, who wrote a post of that name on October 27th. I was beginning to feel rather proprietorial about it. But, of course, I wasn't the first person to think up the expression. A quick Google reveals that it was cited in a Parliamentary Report more than three years ago, which recommended that ministers:
should certainly not seek selectively to pick pieces of evidence which support an already agreed policy, or even commission research in order to produce a justification for policy: so-called "policy-based evidence making". Where there is an absence of evidence, or even when the Government is knowingly contradicting the evidence—maybe for very good reason—this should be openly acknowledged.
The phrase is probably quite a bit older even than that. That it should have occurred to different people at different times is scarcely surprising, given this government's lamentable track record. The Nutt case follows hard on the heels of Nick Davies' exposure of the Home Office's manipulation (tantamount to invention) of sex-trafficking figures and not long after the same department was forced to backpedal on its plans to formalise its DNA retention policy, when the evidence it had relied on was disowned even by the researchers. The Home Office is currently the worst offender, but not the only one. Perhaps it's an inevitable that a government obsessed with tabloid headlines yet determined to use "objective" science to bolster its claims to legitimacy and (more sinisterly) to forestall debate should end up fitting evidence to policy rather than the other way around. "We are following the best scientific advice" is a powerful argument to deploy against opponents - even when they aren't.
Of course, this political strategy depends on scientists providing the "correct" advice - or shutting up when the government prefers to decide its policy not on the evidence but on what the tabloids (or even the opinions polls) are saying. So it's asking for trouble when, as with drugs classification, it institutes a system supposedly based on scientific evidence, and then overrules the advice. The problem is not that the Home Office wants to classify cannabis at a high level; it's that it claims to do so "scientifically", on the basis of measurable harm, when in fact it had other factors in mind. The revolting scientists, for their part, are too narrow in their focus, even naive (or presumptuous). They remind me slightly of the judges on last year's Strictly Come Dancing, who were outraged when week after week the audience voted for John Sergeant. They were labouring under the misapprehension that Strictly was a dance contest. Professor Nutt, likewise, thought that the Home Office classification was based on science, for no better reason than that the Home Office said so.
In fact this was an error. The report I mentioned above, that of the Select Committee on Science and Technology into Scientific Advice, Risk and Evidence Based Policy Making (pdf) is quite plain on that question:
there is scope for improving clarity over the extent to which evidence holds sway over other factors in the determination of policy. Too often there has been a reluctance to even engage in this discussion. For example, we found in our case study on the classification system for illegal drugs that the need to "send messages" on drugs was an important consideration in decisions on classification, not just the evidence on the harm that these drugs caused. However, the importance of this factor was far from clear; we called on the Home Office to be more transparent about the various factors influencing its decisions. Indeed, we found the Government's use of the Class of a particular drug to send a signal to be incompatible with the Government's stated commitment to evidence based policy making, given the absence of any evidence on actual effectiveness on which to draw.
That was three years ago, remember.
The issue of drugs classification provides an unusually clear instance of the facts contradicting government intentions (it's clearest of all in the case of Ecstasy, absurdly made class A despite being demonstrably safer than aspirin). In many cases, especially where social policy rather than hard science is at issue, the government has more leeway when it comes to selecting evidence. Getting the "right" scientific advice may require nothing more than finding an expert known to have sympathetic views.
Nevertheless, the government's misuse of science goes well beyond the more high-profile cases. And it's far from new. The Select Committee report contains a couple of fairly damning paragraphs:
95.The commissioning of research from academics by Government departments is widespread so we were extremely concerned to hear allegations from certain academics that departments have been commissioning and publishing research selectively in order to 'prop up' policies. Professor Tim Hope, a criminologist from the University of Keele who has worked with the Home Office, told us: "it was with sadness and regret that I saw our work ill-used and our faith in government's use of evidence traduced". Of two case studies looking at burglary reduction commissioned by the Home Office, Professor Hope told us that the department decided to only write up one: "Presumably […] because the area-wide reduction was greater here than elsewhere". Professor Hope also accused the Home Office of manipulating the data so as "to capitalise on chance, producing much more favourable findings overall", despite the fact that "for individual projects, the [Home Office] method produces considerable distortion". Furthermore, Professor Hope alleged that the Home Office had interfered with presentation of research findings by other researchers:
"At the British Society of Criminology conference in the University of Bangor in July 2003 there were a number of papers to be given by academics on the basis of contracted work that they were involved in, as I was, for the Home Office. A number of the researchers were advised not to present their papers at the last minute even though they had been advertised in the programme by Home Office officials".
Other academics have voiced similar concerns. For example, Reece Walters of Stirling University has claimed of the Home Office's treatment of research results: "It is clear the Home Office is interested only in rubber-stamping the political priorities of the Government of the day […] To participate in Home Office research is to endorse a biased agenda".
96. These are serious accusations, amounting as they do to allegations of serious scientific/publication malpractice, and should be subject to vigorous examination. We are not in a position to make a judgment about the veracity of these claims....[but]We have heard enough on an informal basis about the selective publication of research to harbour concerns. Such allegations do nothing to encourage the research community to engage in government-sponsored research or to improve public confidence in the validity of such work. Because of the obvious problem of potential complainants being dependent on funding from those who commission research, the GCSA [Government's Chief Scientific Adviser] should not require a formal complaint from the alleged victim in order to instigate an investigation of substantive allegations of this sort of malpractice. We urge the GCSA to investigate proactively any allegations of malpractice in the commissioning, publication and use of research by departments and to ensure that opportunities to learn lessons are fully taken advantage of. We would expect the results of any such investigations to be made public.
This was also very revealing:
100. Norman Glass, Director of the National Centre for Social Research, warned that the "consequences of bias in evidence, which is what we social scientists are essentially hunting down day after day", were sometimes considered by policy makers to be "a kind of geeky interest". Mr Glass argued, however:
"If you are basing your evidence on unrepresentative, biased samples then you cannot believe a word. In fact, it is worse than knowing nothing. Knowing things that are not so is worse than knowing nothing at all."
Professor Nancy Cartwright from the London School of Economics also emphasised the need to take into account different types of evidence: "the best decisions are made on the basis of the total evidence [...] taking into account how secure each result is and how heavily it weighs for the proposal and also taking into account the overall pattern of the evidence".There is often a temptation to justify policy by selective use of available evidence. But this, and a failure to acknowledge the implications of the methodology used and the overall balance of evidence, risk serious damage to the credibility of evidence-based policy making.
The MPs also noted (para 102) that they had:
uncovered evidence in our ID cards case study which demonstrated that departments do not always commission trial or pilots at the appropriate stage in policy development and may use the outcomes for purposes other than those specified at the outset of the pilot. William Solesbury, Senior Visiting Research Fellow at the Centre for Evidence Based Policy and Practice, also told us: "there are probably too few [pilots] and they are used inappropriately". He was of the view that there was a "mismatch between the research timetable and cycle and the political cycle" so that "once pilots are up and running ministers are very often keen to roll them out before results are ready".
According to the report, "the Government's current approach to policy making is not sufficiently responsive to changing evidence"; the MPs urged both Government and opposition to "move towards a situation where a decision to revise a policy in the light of new evidence is welcomed, rather than being perceived as a policy failure."
Good luck with that.
The report is long, detailed, devastating - and, as is usual in such cases, was almost totally ignored by both government and media. The Committee made a number of recommendations about openness, about quality control, about the ways in which evidence should be commissioned and about independent oversight which might, if acted upon, have prevented L'affaire Nutt from blowing up in the way it did. But then pure "evidence-based policy" may be impossible (and not necessarily desirable) in a democratic society - as the Committee itself admitted:
Evidence based policy making has been a watchword of this Government and is widely seen as representing best practice. However, in reality policies are developed on the basis of a myriad of factors, only one of which constitutes evidence in its scientific sense. We have argued that the phrase 'evidence based policy' is misleading and that the Government should therefore desist from seeking to claim that all its policies are evidence based.
But then it would have to admit that its policies were based on prejudice, political calculation and what ministers think they can get away with rather than a pure and rational assessment of evidence. And that - for obvious political reasons - they can never do.

How much wine/liqour can you drink if you take a pill for lowering cholesterol?
Hi Daphne,
It's best to discuss your alcohol intake with your MD to determine if there are side effects related to your specific medication. Here are some general guidelines:
If you have elevated triglycerides (>150 mg/dl), limit alcohol to no more than 1 drink per day. One drink equals 12 ounces beer, 4 oz wine, or 1 ½ ounces liquor. If your triglyceride level is high risk (great than 500 mg/dl) I recommend NO alcohol.
If triglycerides are not an issue alcohol may be beneficial in raisign HDL levels. I'm not a big advocate of using alcohol to raise HDL, but if you already consume alcohol, 1-2 drinks per day can raise levels. More than 1-2 drinks per day will increase your health problems. Red wine is a good choice.
All the best,
Lisa Nelson, RD

Have spork, will travel
Last year, on a trip to London, I picked up a spork – a light plastic utensil which features a spoon at one end, fork at the other and serrated knife edge on the fork side – in a kitchenware shop and I've rarely been without it since. The last quarter of 2008 was taken up with train trips to Dublin as I worked on the Foodtalk documentary series and, food on the train being what it is – or isn't – my spork was invaluable.read more
Lunch in Cork: Crawford Art Gallery Café
I've had a sneaking fondness for the Crawford Art Gallery Café ever since I spent a Saturday working there while on the Ballymaloe Cookery Course and have returned several times since. The Husband and I were on a rare Saturday trip to Cork at the weekend, made all the hungrier for lunch by some cheese nibbling at our local Killavullen Farmers' Market, courtesy of Gudrun at Fermoy Natural Cheese. Despite the crowds in the café, we got a table quickly, which was just as well as I had already spotted lamb's liver on the menu.read more
Warm Chickpea Salad with Parmesan
One of my major perks, on days I work from home, is having the opportunity to make myself something really good for lunch. If those days also happen to feature me making chicken stock or reconstituting a big bag of dried pulses – these things happen in the kitchen without me having to think about them – there's more of a treat in store. A couple of scoops of chicken stock get siphoned off to make a gutsy noodle broth, infused with slivers of ginger, garlic and chilli and eaten with relish. Freshly cooked butter beans can easily find themselves tossed with a sundried tomato dressing and some of the left-over roast pumpkin from last night's dinner.read more

Bizarro Back Issues: Superboy's Romance With Cleopatra! (1961)
Every February, I like to throw a bit of a spotlight on some of the more romantic pieces of superhero comics, but with Superman, that's pretty hard to do. I mean, sure, he'd eventually settle down with Lois Lane in one of the better romance stories in comics history, but for a long stretch of his history, he did everything he could to avoid letting anybody put a ring on it. Whether it was Lois, Lana, Lori, Lyla, or even Marybelle, the hillbilly whose lack of double-L initials should've disqualified her from contention well before she was carried over the Marryin' Rock, that dude was simply --- and famously --- not interested.
What you might not know, however, is why. It turns out that Superman wasn't just trying to protect his girlfriends from those who might use them to strike at him; it was that all this time, he was still carrying a torch for his first crush: Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt --- and the fact that she died in 30 BCE didn't stop them from dating for a week when he was fifteen.

This invention relates to the field of wireless integrated circuits.
The demand for low-cost, reliable wireless communications continues to increase at a rapid rate, as do the demands on the technologies enabling such communications. Chip designers work on many fronts to find ways to make the circuitry found inside devices such as cellular phones smaller, cheaper, easier to fabricate, less power-hungry, and more reliable.
One major component in a cellular phone is a radio frequency (RF) transceiver. U.S. Pat. No. 6,049,702 shows a block diagram of the RF/analog and analog/digital (A/D) interface circuitry of a basic transceiver, which can be combined with other components (not shown) to form a complete transceiver. The transmitter portion of the transceiver includes digital-to-analog converters (DACs), low-pass filters for filtering the outputs of DACs, respectively, and a modulator that performs a frequency conversion on signals received at its inputs and which is driven by a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit that includes a reference voltage-controlled-oscillator (VCO) and a resonator (tank circuit). The modulator's output is fed to a power amplifier, and the amplified output is fed to one side of a transmit/receive (T/R) switch, filtered with a bandpass filter, and connected to an antenna.
The receiver portion is connected to the other side of T/R switch. Incoming signals are received by the antenna and filtered by the bandpass filter before being fed to a low-noise amplifier (LNA)/demodulator circuit. The output of the circuit's LNA is passed through a bandpass filter before being fed to a demodulator which performs a frequency conversion on the signal received by antenna. The demodulator is driven by a PLL circuit which includes a reference VCO and a tank circuit. The demodulator output drives an intermediate-frequency automatic gain control (IF AGC) stage, with a bandpass filter interposed between the stage's IF amplifier and its AGC circuitry. The AGC output is fed to an IF demodulator which is driven by a PLL circuit that includes a reference VCO and a tank circuit. The IF demodulator's two outputs are passed through respective low-pass filters before being fed to respective analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).
Current RF transceivers are implemented using a variety of device technologies For example, DACs, ADCs, and all other digital baseband transceiver circuitry are typically CMOS circuits. The modulator, LNA/demodulator, IF/AGC stage, and IF demodulator generally use bipolar junction transistors (BJTs). The power amplifier can be fabricated on a gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate, particularly for a high-power application such as a cellular phone Bandpass, lowpass filters, as well as tank circuits, and antenna are generally built with discrete components. T/R switch is also typically made from discrete components, or are made from costly, complex PIN diode circuits if integrated.
Because a variety of technologies must be combined, current transceivers typically requires multiple integrated circuits (IC). For example, a CDMA or WCDMA RF front end typically consists of two ICs. There is a receive IC and a transmit IC, which need to be on separate pieces of silicon to isolate the low power received signal (around 10 mW) from the high power send signal (around 300 mW). With a processor IC to control the RF front-end, the electronic of an RF system requires three chips: a processor IC, a receive IC, and a transmit IC. These ICs add cost and can result in an assembly is typically larger than is desired, particularly when the limited space and weight requirements imposed on designers of battery-powered handheld devices must be met.
In one aspect, a set of radio frequency (RF) integrated circuits includes a transmit chip having a power amplifier and a receive chip adapted to work with the transmit chip. The receive chip has one or more low noise amplifiers to receive RF signals, and a processor coupled to the low noise amplifiers, the processor transmitting data through the transmit chip and receiving data from the on-chip low noise amplifiers.
In another aspect, a radio frequency transceiver system includes a transmit chip; and a receive chip having a transistor device. The transistor device includes a layer of gate oxide on a surface of the semiconductor substrate, a gate electrode formed on the surface of the gate oxide, the gate electrode having a drain side; a p-well implanted within a semiconductor substrate under the gate electrode; an n-well implanted in the p-well on the drain side; an n+ source region in the p-well outside of the n-well; an n+ drain region within the substrate inside the n-well; and lightly doped regions extending respectively from the source and drain regions toward the gate electrode.
Implementations of the device may include one or more of the following. The n-well extends slightly under the gate electrode. The p-well is deeper than the n-well. A second device can be fabricated adjacent the first device with a second gate electrode formed on the surface of the gate oxide; a second n-well implanted within a semiconductor substrate under the second gate electrode; a p+ source region in the second n-well; and a p+ drain region within the substrate inside the second n-well The second n-well is adjacent the p-well. The first and second n-wells are formed at the same time. The device can be used in digital circuits that operate next to sensitive analog circuits such as CMOS imaging elements, precision analog-digital converters, or radio frequency circuits
In another aspect, a method for manufacturing a two-chip radio frequency transceiver system with a receive chip having a transistor device. The transistor device a metal oxide semiconductor transistor device includes implanting a p-well in a substrate; implanting an n-well in the p-well; growing a gate oxide above the p-well; forming a polysilicon layer on the gate oxide; implanting a p+ region in the substrate; and implanting an n+ region in the substrate.
Implementations of the above aspect may include one or more of the following. The method includes forming lightly doped regions extending respectively from the source and drain regions toward the gate electrode. The method also includes forming an isolation layer between the substrate and the gate oxide. The method includes patterning the polysilicon layer. The method also includes patterning the p+ region and the n+ region. The method forms robust devices that can used in digital circuitry adjacent analog circuitry. The analog circuit can be imaging elements, analog to digital converters or a radio frequency circuits, among others.
Advantages of the device can include one or more of the following. The system is a 2 chip solution instead of a 3 chip solution, saving weight, cost, and board real-estate. These advantages are important for mobile applications such as handheld computers and cellular telephones, among others. The baseband chip has several process steps that can be used to enhance the performance of a low-power RF detector. For example, as discussed below, the circuits use implants that can reduce hot electrons, and also a very thin oxide layer that can be used to make low voltage high performance transistors. The system also uses reliable and inexpensive MOSFETs. The MOSFETs can be used in mixed-mode integrated circuits (ICs) that include both digital and analog circuits on a single chip. The device reduces the magnitude of electric field seen along the channel near the drain of an MOS device, especially in digital transistors which switch at high frequency. The device also avoids the hot electron injection problem without creating sharp curvatures on the junction and without an additional long drive-in time that can cause undesired thermal effects in the other parts of the device. The resultant low junction curvature increases the breakdown voltage, making it possible to operate the transistor at higher biases without catastrophic failure. The inventive process also forms source/drain regions having low series resistance and a large junction radius, and which does not require additional masking or heating steps.
The following detailed description of the embodiments can best be understood when read in conjunction with the following drawings, in which:
In the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which are shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
In one embodiment, an RF transceiver solution is provided using only two chips: one chip (transmit chip) contains high power transmit circuitry, while the second chip (baseband chip) contains low power RF signal receive/sense circuit, a digital processor and related logic circuits.
The receive chip 40 is adapted to work with the transmit chip. The receive chip 40 receives signals from the antenna 30 through a digitally programmable filter 42 The output of the filter 42 is provided to a multiplexer switch 44. The RF signal is routed through the multiplexer switch 44 to one or more low noise amplifiers 46, whose outputs are provided to a mixer 48. The mixer receives reference signals from a programmable local oscillator 50. The output of the mixer 48 is provided to a second digitally programmable filter 52 and is digitized by a data conversion circuit 54. The digitized signal is provided to a MAC 56 and a PHY 58. The PHY 58 in turn communicates with the processor 60 The processor 60 is connected to all blocks on the receive chip 40 and to the PGA circuit 24 and transmit receive switch 26 on the transmit chip 10.
One embodiment uses CMOS transistors which at 0.1 um are reaching Q factors of 10 or more, so good resonators can be built with these transistors. The baseband chip has several process steps that can be used to enhance the performance of a low-power RF detector. For example, as discussed below, the circuits use implants that can reduce hot electrons, and also a very thin oxide layer that can be used to make low voltage high performance transistors. The end result is a 2 chip solution instead of a 3 chip solution.
The p-well 132 is adjacent to an n-well 162, which contains two p+ regions 164 and 166. A polysilicon layer 168 is deposited above the silicon dioxide layer 115 to form a gate. The layer of polysilicon material is next implanted with phosphorous, an N-type material. The layer of polysilicon material implanted with phosphorous is then oxidized with a layer of silicon dioxide. This device is commonly known as a PMOS device, and it typically does not suffer from hot electron problems.
An isolation layer is placed and patterned (step 210). A gate oxide is grown and patterned (step 212). The gate oxide layer 115 can be formed through any suitable process, such as by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In an alternative embodiment, the gate oxide is thermally grown on the substrate 102. Next, the polysilicon layer 115 is formed and patterned (step 214). The layer of undoped polysilicon is deposited on the top surface of gate oxide 104 and can be deposited by any suitable method, such as by CVD. The upper surface of the structure can be planarized through chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). The patterning process involves photoresist is deposited as a continuous layer on polysilicon and selectively irradiated using a photolithographic system, such as a step and repeat optical projection system, in which I-line ultraviolet light from a mercury-vapor lamp is projected through a first reticle and a focusing lens to obtain an image pattern. Thereafter, the photoresist is developed and the irradiated portions of the photoresist are removed to provide openings in photoresist. The openings expose portions of polysilicon layer to an etch, thereby defining a gate region. An anisotropic etch is applied that removes the exposed portions of polysilicon 105. Various etchants can be used to anisotropically etch or to selectively remove the polysilicon and oxide layers. After the etching step or steps, the gate region 104 remains. The gate region 104 includes: the polysilicon layer 105 on top of the gate oxide 115 on top of the substrate 102. The photoresist is stripped, using conventional photoresist stripping techniques.
The source region 108 and a drain region 120 are provided by implanting ion dopants into the top of the substrate 102 (step 224). The ion implantation uses conventional ion implanting techniques. In one embodiment, the source and drain LDD regions 112 and 118 respectively, include the phosphorous-doped silicon material. The gate 104 behaves as an implant mask and provides for self-aligned source and drain LDD regions, 112 and 118 respectively. The p+ region is also placed using conventional process.
Next, a high temperature rapid thermal anneal (RTA) is conducted in the presence of Arsenic (As) gas (step 226). This process cures out the crystal damage induced by the previous ion implant process. Additionally, the annealing step is performed in the presence of As gas. The presence of the As gas causes an additional doping implantation into the substrate 102. An oxide layer is subsequently deposited and etched anisotropically, resulting in spacers 117 next to the poly gate 105. The n+ source/drain regions 110 and 116, are formed in the pwell 132, next to the spacers 117, in the region where the gate oxide 115 has been etched back These highly doped regions form electrical connections to the drain/source electrodes, 108 and 120 respectively.
Next, salicide contacts are formed on the gate 104, source 108, drain 120 and lightly doped regions 112 and 118 (step 228). Additionally contact formation, not included here, is achieved using conventional techniques. These further processing steps are not repeated herein. Likewise, the principal processing steps disclosed herein may be combined with other steps apparent to those skilled in the art.
The application of the extra nwell region around the drain of the NMOS transistor reduces hot electron effects by reducing the electric field in the pinch-off region. The electric field is proportional to the voltage drop across the pinch-off region divided by the length of the pinch-off region. The nwell region extends laterally with a smooth decrease in doping, so that part of the drain voltage is dropped across the nwell region. Also, the pinchoff region is extended somewhat because the channel is counterdoped, resulting in lower doping in the pinchoff area, which in turn increases the pinchoff length. The field is therefore significantly reduced, and since the hot electron current depends exponentially on the field, there is a very large corresponding decrease in this current.
Thus the invention provides a method and structure for a transistor whose gate is protected from "hot electron injection." Advantageously, the transistor is well-suited for use in a device such as a mixed signal integrated circuit chip, as well as an electronic system including a processor/memory and analog components such as A/D and D/A converters, imagers and RF circuits. The electronic system may also be a portable appliance as shown in FIG. 4. The information handling system 200 deploys transistor devices formed as discussed above. The device has a fast and reliable channel having a long life.
The reconfigurable processor core 350 controls the cellular radio core 310 and the short-range wireless transceiver core 330 to provide a seamless dual-mode network integrated circuit that operates with a plurality of distinct and unrelated communications standards and protocols such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Enhance Data Rates for GSM Evolution (Edge) and Bluetooth™. The cell phone core 310 provides wide area network (WAN) access, while the short-range wireless transceiver core 330 supports local area network (LAN) access. The reconfigurable processor core 350 has embedded read-only-memory (ROM) containing software such as IEEE802.11, GSM, GPRS, Edge, and/or Bluetooth™ protocol software, among others.
In one embodiment, the cellular radio core 310 includes a transmitter/receiver section that is connected to an off-chip antenna (not shown). The transmitter/receiver section is a direct conversion radio that includes an I/Q demodulator, transmit/receive oscillator/clock generator, multi-band power amplifier (PA) and PA control circuit, and voltage-controlled oscillators and synthesizers. In another embodiment of transmitter/receiver section 312, intermediate frequency (IF) stages are used. In this embodiment, during cellular reception, the transmitter/receiver section converts received signals into a first intermediate frequency (IF) by mixing the received signals with a synthesized local oscillator frequency and then translates the first IF signal to a second IF signal. The second IF signal is hard-limited and processed to extract an RSSI signal proportional to the logarithm of the amplitude of the second IF signal. The hard-limited IF signal is processed to extract numerical values related to the instantaneous signal phase, which are then combined with the RSSI signal.
For voice reception, the combined signals are processed by the processor core 350 to form PCM voice samples that are subsequently converted into an analog signal and provided to an external speaker or earphone. For data reception, the processor simply transfers the data over an input/output (I/O) port. During voice transmission, an off-chip microphone captures analog voice signals, digitizes the signal, and provides the digitized signal to the processor core 350. The processor core 350 codes the signal and reduces the bit-rate for transmission. The processor core 350 converts the reduced bit-rate signals to modulated signals, for example. During data transmission, the data is modulated and the modulated signals are then fed to the cellular telephone transmitter of the transmitter/receiver section.
Turning now to the short-range wireless transceiver core 330, the short-range wireless transceiver core 330 contains a radio frequency (RF) modem core 332 that communicates with a link controller core 334. The processor core 350 controls the link controller core 334. In one embodiment, the RF modem core 332 has a direct-conversion radio architecture with integrated VCO and frequency synthesizer. The RF-unit 332 includes an RF receiver connected to an analog-digital converter (ADC), which in turn is connected to a modem 316 performing digital modulation, channel filtering, AFC, symbol timing recovery, and bit slicing operations. For transmission, the modem is connected to a digital to analog converter (DAC) that in turn drives an RF transmitter.
According to one implementation, when the short-range wireless core 330 in the idle mode detects that the short-range network using Bluetooth™ signals, for example, have dropped in strength, the device 300 activates the cellular radio core 310 to establish a cellular link, using information from the latest periodic ping. If a cellular connection is established and Bluetooth™ signals are weak, the device 300 sends a deregistration message to the Bluetooth™ system and/or a registration message to the cellular system. Upon registration from the cellular system, the short-range transceiver core 330 is turned off or put into a deep sleep mode and the cellular radio core 310 and relevant parts of the synthesizer are powered up to listen to the cellular channel.
The router 390 can send packets in parallel through the separate pathways of cellular or Bluetooth™. For example, if a Bluetooth™ connection is established, the router 390 knows which address it is looking at and will be able to immediately route packets using another connection standard. In doing this operation, the router 390 pings its environment to decide on optimal transmission medium. If the signal reception is poor for both pathways, the router 390 can send some packets in parallel through both the primary and secondary communication channel (cellular and/or Bluetooth™) to make sure some of the packets arrive at their destinations. However, if the signal strength is adequate, the router 390 prefers the Bluetooth™ mode to minimize the number of subscribers using the capacity-limited and more expensive cellular system at any give time. Only a small percentage of the device 300, those that are temporarily outside the Bluetooth coverage, represents a potential load on the capacity of the cellular system, so that the number of mobile users can be many times greater than the capacity of the cellular system alone could support. All the above implementations have circuits combining low noise devices with high-speed, high-noise digital transistors on the same silicon substrate By using the present invention on the digital transistors closest to the low-noise sections, the impact of the generated noise can be greatly reduced.
Although specific embodiments have been illustrated and described herein, it is appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that any arrangement which is calculated to achieve the same purpose may be substituted for the specific embodiments shown. This application is intended to cover any adaptations or variations of the present invention. Therefore, it is manifestly intended that this invention be limited only by the claims and the equivalents thereof.

A man who threw two interceptions in just nine pass attempts against the Chiefs on Sunday has just been named the starter for the Oakland Raiders, and that only begins to tell the story of how bad JaMarcus Russell(notes) has been this year. And yet, it still took until Week 11 for Russell to finally get the hook.
So why now? Who knows? At this point, the season is already lost. Other non-competitive teams are now in the mode where they're switching to their younger quarterbacks so they can evaluate them for the future. The Raiders are doing the opposite. Bruce Gradkowski(notes) is the older, more experienced guy and clearly is not the future of the franchise, while Russell, some believe, still might be.
It made sense to make the move in Week 4 or 5, when there might have been a season to salvage. It makes less sense now, but still, I guess there's never a bad time to bench the worst starting quarterback in the league.
My theory on the timing is that owner Al Davis calls most of the shots in Oakland, he's in love with Russell's size, strong arm and athleticism, and it took this long for him to finally say, "Okay, maybe we should try something else." I do not believe that Tom Cable -- or any other NFL head coach who is allowed to make decisions for himself -- would've stuck with Russell for this long, had it been his call.
Cable says that's not the case, and it's been up to him all along. I don't buy it. I think he's a better coach than that. I also think that he sees it as part of his job to cover for the owner in public. It's the only scenario that makes sense. No quarterback with Russell's numbers survives as a starter for that long unless it's someone other than a coach making the decision.
What does it mean for the long-term future of JaMarcus Russell? There's some speculation that it means the Raiders are done with Russell, and are finally ready to give up on him. I doubt that's the case. All along, he's been Al Davis' pet project, and really, there's no reason for that to change now. Russell is still young and still gifted. Guys like that seem to have an endless string of second chances.
It might mean, though, that his days of being handed playing time are over. From now on, he's going to have to earn it by being the better quarterback, and that should have been the case a long, long time ago.

India were undone on a grassy pitch at the VCA ground here, losing the third Test to Australia by a huge 342-run margin and with it the four-match series.
Board secretary S K Nair said he had asked for feedback from the team management and all other parties concerned on the wicket here.
"I will not comment on the wicket but the BCCI would call for feedbacks from all the concerned parties, the team management, the curator and the pitch committee of the Board and then would deliberate on the issue," Nair said.
"If needed the Board will take corrective measures in future and if necessary would also issue directives to the associations staging matches," he said.
Captain Sourav Ganguly had hit out at the pitch prepared for the tie saying he had asked the curator to shave off the grass, "But he had not done enough".
Ganguly pulled out of the tie on the morning of the tie citing an upper thigh strain for which he was receiving treatment.
Australia's stand-in captain Adam Gilchrist also added fuel to the pitch controversy, describing the wicket on match-eve as "Australian type" in appearance and made a similar statement after the match.

We did Tae Kwon Do and, while I am a huge fan of the martial arts, a LOT depends on your instructor.
I ended up taking the boys out after a few months when they would NOT stop doing the kicking and the "hiiiii - YAH" crap at each other constantly.
I will probably sign them up again when they are a bit older and understand that TKD is for in the studio ONLY and not for trying to attack each other at every turn.
It may be different for you... my kids tend to be rather, um... spirited
Our city recreational center is offering both Judo and Tae Kwon Do for Emma's age group. I think it might be good for her. But which one? What's the difference?
I would choose tae kwon do because it is an Olympic sport and if she ever so desires and excels, there are many opportunities to compete.
Tae kwon do also relies more on lower body strength (kicks), which makes me think it would be the better choice for a girl since we don't have the same level of upper body strength that the boys do.
And I think Judo is an excellent choice for women - the throws, joint locks, and submission holds you learn are effective against larger bodies. They rely on manipulation, not brute strength.
I have belts in two arts, and it is my opinion that martial arts, as taught for sport in the U.S., are not self defense.

MIAMI, Florida, USA (sentinel.ht) – U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents in Miami decided to search a suspicious ship out of Haiti on Wednesday which turned up carrying 2,000 pounds of cocaine. Massive Coke Bust – Multiple agencies bust a freighter on the Miami River with hundreds of millions of cocaine on board. The freighter was from Bolivia and arrived in South Florida via Haiti. Agents drilled holes throughout the deck of the boat that came from Bolivia via Haiti. That's when they discovered a hidden compartment with 800 bricks of neatly packaged coke. Wednesday's seizure is worth $54 million wholesale but can earn more than $300 million retail on the streets, cut five or six times.

Voyeur : November 2010
NOVEMBER 061 waiheke island Paradise is closer tha n you think on Waiheke Island, just 35 minutes by ferry from downtown Auckla nd. This accessible island escape boasts major drawcards -- na mely vineya rds, fine dining, water sports, nature walks and art galleries -- for visitors to New Zeala nd's largest metropolitan city. What makes the isla nd so attractive is its laid-back vibe. Among the 6,000 residents there is a diverse mix of cultures, from alternative lifestylers to multimillionaires, as well as a few ageing hippies. Wa nder through the market at Ostend, the island's main town, on a Saturday and you'll soon get a feeling for life on the island, surrounded by colourful stalls a nd locals selling jewellery and fabrics, arts and crafts, second-hand goods, fresh vegetables and homemade breads and chutneys, as well as French crepes and other delicacies. With its pristine beaches, 26 artists' studios and galleries, 21 vineya rds, world-class restaurants, adventure activities and va rious accommodation options, from backpacker lodges to luxury retreats, the 93.2-square-kilometre island appeals to a broad range of travellers. Here we outline some of Waiheke's best activities, eateries and places to stay. HAVE A VINE OL' TIME For a n inspiring lunch or dinner location with views of Auckla nd a nd the sea, visit Cable Bay Vineyards. Expect a fine-dining experience where top-quality produce is the hero in the sophisticated restaurant, or snack on duck liver pâté with brioche a nd onion confit or prosciutto di Pa rma on ciabatta with rocket and olive oil in the cosy wine bar or the ta sting room. Mudbrick Vineyard & Restaurant has fantastic views looking back to the city a nd has been a favourite of both visitors a nd locals for the past 18 years. The winery is famous for its Velvet blend, a classic red wine named for its decadently rich texture. Here, too, you can choose a full restaurant experience or pick from the casual platters, such as cheese, a ntipasti a nd seafood. Goldie Estate in Ostend was established in 1978 and has garnered many wine awards over the yea rs, including a gold medal at the prestigious InterVin International Wine Competition in New York. Try a glass of its signature wine, Goldie Sauvignon Blanc, over a long lunch. Take a drive through Onetangi Valley, where there are four wineries almost side by side. If you only have time to visit one, make it Stonyridge Vineya rd. The vineyard specialises in super- premium organic red wines, its 2008 Larose was awarded 93--95 points by American wine critic Robert Parker, a nd its popula r cafe delivers a selection of European-influenced cuisine. The Southla nd lamb flank roast is a winner. Hidden away near Oneta ngi Beach is Casita Miro Vineya rd a nd Eatery, which ser ves tapas dishes such as butter beans and chorizo salad with red onion, ga rden herbs and aged sherry vinegar from a menu that cha nges daily. Try a glass of the crisp Hazza Pinot Gris or the Bordeaux-style Miro while taking in the views over the vineyard a nd ocean. Finally, don't leave Waiheke Isla nd without stopping at Rangihoua Estate, where the timbered tasting room opens onto gardens a nd olive groves. For ca sual food and drink in town, try Vino Vino in Oneroa, a great lunch and dinner venue offering an a rray of seafood dishes a nd a choice of pasta and meat plates. It is set in a stylish, rela xing location in the centre of the village and ha s indoor a nd outdoor seating. In Ostend you'll find the popula r cafe Nourish. Unwind in its undercover courtyard while feasting on a decadent breakfast of porridge with muscovado suga r and cream, or stop by for lunch to try the spice crusted calamari ser ved on a bed of chorizo spiced saffron rice or gingered pork chops with sesame and soy. Drive through Onetangi Valley, where there are four wineries side by side. Above, from left: See the early stages of winemaking at Cable Bay Vineyards; Tuck into Spanish dishes at Casita Miro Vineyard and Eatery; Do a wine tour of Onetangi Valley.

Chrysler Recalls 280,000 Ram Pickups
Chrysler has announced that it is recalling some 280,000 Ram pickups in the US, Canada and Mexico along with several other parts of the world.
The trucks, ranging from model years 2008 to 2011 are being recalled for defective outer tie rods on the left side, which can cause front-end miss alignment, excessive steering and tire wear and potential tie rod failure.
The automaker said, the problem most frequently occurs during low speed driving, such as in parking lots when drivers are making tight turns. The recall affects both light and heavy-duty trucks, including 4 x 4 Ram 1500 Mega Cab models, up to and including 2500 and 3500 pickup and 4 x2 chassis cabs, as well as older trucks (2003-08 model 2500 and 3500 rigs) that received these tie rods as replacement in-service items.
This marks the second time in less than year that Chrysler has had to recall trucks for tie rod ends, a previous one was issued back in December, that affected heavy-duty 4500 and 5500 chassis cab trucks.
The automaker hasn't yet said when the recalls will actually begin, though expect something to materialize in the next few weeks.

The drivers of Pecom Racing took the chequered flag in fourth position, however, the organization decided to penalize the squad ahead, what gave the third place for Pecom Racing.
SILVERSTONE – Pecom Racing team on podium in the "Six Hours of Silverstone" (LMP2 category), round one of the 2013 FIA World Endurance Championship.
The Pecom Racing Oreca 03 powered by Nissan (with Michelin tyres ) started from the P7 on the grid; following, the race of the Pecom Racing drivers was troubled by a collision with another LMP2 prototype which crashed into its front-right wing. Thanks to extremely quick repairs in the pits, clever strategy at the wall and very fast stints of each of the three drivers, the team enabled to collect a top-three result.
The drivers of Pecom Racing, however, did not celebrate the podium soon after the end of the "6 Hours of Silverstone": they took the chequered flag in fourth position.
Just a few hours later, the organisation of the world championship has decided to penalize the squad that preceded in the standing (removing 1 laps) for an irregularity observed during the race. This fact permitted the third place for Pecom Racing and important points gained.

Previously saved forms will not save new dataAsked by nswaak on October 23, 2014 at 02:56 PM
I have several people working on forms for an Oct. 30th deadline. As of this afternoon, they are no longer able to save additional uploads to previously created forms.
I just tried creating a new form and after creating it, I am no longer able to upload any additional files.
We need this fixed asap!
JotForm Support
Hi Natalie,
I made a test upload using your jotform http://www.jotform.ca/form/41954852996271 saved edit URL and I was able to use the form just fine.
are you saying that you cannot submit/saved the jotform in this manner?
I did not proceed with the submission because it will disrupt your saved data. But if you will give permission I am sure I will be able to submit the form with my own edited and uploaded data on it.
Please inform us if issue persist.
Hi Jonathan,
Exactly. When I tried to save a form with an newly uploaded file and then went back into the form, the file was not saved. This was a universal problem for all my users.
I changed the upload buttons from the single file upload to a multi-file upload button and that seemed to fix the problem for now. I will let you know if I get any more reports from my users.
JotForm Support Manager
Ok, we await for your comments. We are always here to help.
