Day 1: Share joy with the world
Starting today, you can "Share joy with the world" by participating in daily challenges from now until Christmas. Follow our Advent-inspired holiday project over the next 25 days by subscribing to the blog and checking back every day for a new story and challenge.
Today's challenge: Share with us a Bible verse that brings you joy in the comments section below!
Here's ours:
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." –John 10:10 (NIV)
What you share is what you value
As World Vision staff, it has been on our hearts this holiday season to share joy. In the midst of pain and sorrow – hunger, disease, disaster, exploitation, economic injustice – we must remember to celebrate the impact that we can make and that we have made. Every dollar entrusted to us is multiplied and amplified through our 44,000 dedicated staff around the world. It's true that we must share the statistics and stories of need around the world, but we must intentionally share the joy of lives transformed as well.
If we don't value joy, then the problem of poverty will never be solved. We can provide all the clean water and food in the world, but without sharing the joy that comes from God's love, true transformation will never occur. There would not be "life in all its fullness."
So that's what we want to do this December. Joy isn't about simply giving money so someone else can share it, but about building it into the fabric of our everyday lives.
We want to invite you into a season of sharing joy.

After a recent church meeting, my housemate gave me a fascinating compliment. He told me that I take criticism well.
I had just announced that I planned to transition from official leadership of our Young Adult group into a supporting role, freeing up my time for other ministry-related activities. The feedback I heard over and over again was the refrain, "I think that's a good idea because your heart just wasn't in it."
It was true. I knew that a pastoring role isn't what God has designed me for, but that's not what anyone wants to hear. As a human with emotions and desires of verbal affirmation, my preferred response would have been understanding of what I'd put into the group, grateful for that commitment.
There was no "thank you."
So while I was disappointed that none of my friends encouraged me, an interesting thought crossed my mind. I realized that maybe nobody said "thank you" because what I gave to the group isn't what they really wanted from me. God used me in many ways for this ministry, and I don't regret what He did through my life. But what my friends saw was that my heart wasn't in it. I was sharing certain values, but not necessarily what they valued. From their perspective, I was sharing burden, not excitement.
For me, that was an incredible lesson to learn: What you share is a direct reflection on what you value.
I knew that a new group needed a vision and consistency, so that's what I gave. As time went on, that consistency turned into a burden, and in the end that's what people saw. So here's a question for you: what do you value?
Do you, like I did, value the completion of strategic tasks? Or do you value sharing God's love in a personal way? I'm not saying we should not have vision and consistency, but we do need to be intentional about how we share ourselves. That's why John 10:10 is such a powerful verse. "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." God wants us to have a full life, a life of joy. In turn, we should share that joy with others.
Every day from today until Christmas, we'll be posting a new blog challenging you to share joy with the people around you. Designed as an Advent calendar (which you can print out to help track your progress), check back for each day's new challenge and story, and share with us how you've shared joy by commenting!

For millions of heart patients across the United States the difference between life and death is the pager sized heart pacemaker or Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD). The pacemaker sends tiny electrical signals through the heart to allow the heart to properly time each beat and maintain the normal sinus heart rhythm needed to pump blood properly.
The ICD is a similar device that is typically used for heart patients whose heart pumps normally at most times, but can convert into a dangerous rhythm that results in improper blood flow and could lead to death. The ICD is a smaller, low power version of the external defibrillator used in hospitals and on ambulances.
Many of the most common ICDs and pacemakers implanted in patients across the country now feature wireless control capabilities and some of the devices can even connect to the internet to allow doctors to monitor the patients from remote locations and allow for setting changes to the devices without requiring surgical intervention.
A group of researchers from the Medical Device Security Center published a report (PDF) showing that under a specific set of circumstances the wireless communications of these ICDs and pacemakers could be hacked. The researchers were able to gather patient information from the devices wireless telemetry functions.
To gain access to this telemetry data the researchers used an antenna, radio hardware and a PC, which could be readily obtained by any malicious user. The researchers say that the ICD telemetry data was transmitted without observable encryption from the Medtronic Maximo used in the study. The researchers were able to gather the patient's name, medical history, date of birth and more.
The more serious problem the researchers found was that a malicious party could actually change the settings on the ICD causing it to deliver a high voltage shock capable of causing a heart arrhythmia that could be lethal.
The researchers note that the testing they performed was on a device not implanted into a person and the ICD was in close proximity to the radio equipment. This hacking doesn't appear to be something that can happen from a distance.
Does this research mean that anyone with an ICD or pacemaker that features wireless telemetry needs to rush to their doctor for a replacement? The researchers say they strongly believe that nothing they have found should deter patients from receiving this type of device if recommended by their doctor.
The researchers further state the risk to patients is low and that no recorded instance of a hack on an ICD or pacemaker has ever been recorded.

Raptors receive: Kevin Martin, Donatas Motiejunas, 2013 1st round pick (Kyle Lowry trade)
Rockets receive: Andrea Bargnani
Why not trade Bargs and shed some cap space for the future. I just don't predict that JV and Bargs will truly compliment each other. Bargs needs a big man coach that will teach him post moves better to broaden his game, McHale is the perfect coach for him. We get our pick back from the Kyle trade, maybe a bit of an overkill but I think it adds to how valuable Bargs is. Ed can then be the starter at the 4, and add some healthy competition for him and D-Mo for some PT. Donatas Motiejunas has a similar game like Bargs but hes younger and more active on the boards.
Taking on Kevin Martin's expiring contract eases up more time for Lamb and Delfino, plus he can act as a mentor to our SGs for a season.

Hello my name is UchihaObito nice to F**king meet ya first off id like to say im not an madara ,obito, or sasuke fanboy but be realistic Itachi isnt stronger than them.
Everyone who's making threads about "'Itachi > everyone 'he can take non rinnegan madara'" is just being a fanboy. 1st off Sasuke has Itachi's eyes so he has all of his ms techniques plus his own, Tsukuyomi, a better control of amaterasu, and infinite spammability (chakra allowing). Madara is the first person to have EMS that weve known and weve only seen one of its abilities and it was ridiculous;not to mention the shadow clone susano'o which defeated the 5 kage. He has the fan which is randomly OP and he has the best fire style techniques. Also as Kabuto tells us hes had senju dna added to him which makes him even stronger. Obito has Kamui and half a body of senju dna, as said by everyone people who are proficient with (or maybe just have an innate ability) their sharingan can break tsukoyomi and thats really Itachi's only weapon against other people. I know people are gonna bring up izanami but it took him forever to prepare it and i think he has a chance with izanami against tobi or sasuke (but he isnt likely to use it against sasuke since hes the only thing he wants to protect) But with Madaras susano'o shadow clones and rinnegan abilities he isnt likely to land it on him. He defeated the 5 kage, and itachi fights with abilities that Madara knows of already he doesnt have much of a chance.
If you stuck with me and read the whole thing then thank you and flame me as you please.
P.S. Itachi is one of my favorite characters in the series.

4 Knicks
5 Nets
6 Atlanta
7 Philly

9 Washington
10 Bucks
11 Chicago (just a hunch that they want to suck to get good pick since rose is out anyways possibly trade deng as well.)
12 Cleveland (without bynum)
13 Orlando
14 Detroit
15 Charlotte
I think we can all agree that at best we'll be a 7 or 8 spot team.
Twitter - @thekid_it
1: Miami Heat
2: Boston Celtics
3: Brooklyn Nets
4: Indiana Pacers
5: New York Knicks
6: Chicago Bulls
7: Toronto Raptors
8: Washington Wizards
9: Cleveland
10: Milwaukee
11: Atlanta
12: Orlando (assuming Dwight Howard is gone)
13: Detroit
14: Charlotte
Jason Kidd will really turn the Knicks around in my opinion, him and Felton will be a really nice back-court.
Washington is being run by an inconsistent talent, whatever happens with him and Beal will be the story of next season.
Chicago's former MVP and his injury will be a step-back, but that doesn't take away anything that this team was very good without him.
Indiana, with the addition of DJ Augustin, retaining of Hibbert and George, and after a nice playoff run and match-up against Miami, I see the team growing and improving.
Brooklyn is still an 'iffy' for me, whether Humphries really is what he is (good stats on bad teams), the injury problems for Lopez, and the overall chemistry. Team looks good on paper, so I'll give them a top 3.
Boston with the additions of Jason Terry, and Courtney Lee, they've added youth and very good production in the back-court. Added young bigs Fab Melo and Jared Sullinger (possibly a draft steal), this is a re-tooled team, IMO, better than last season.
Miami. Well, LeBron James, say anything more? Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis to the fold?
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
I agree with RaptorReuben's comments, except for two things:
I think Kidd is done. I don't think he brings anything positive to the table at this point. I guess one plus is that the Knicks dont need a penetrating point guard (although Lin showed that one helps. And Felton is a below average guard. I think that the knicks backcourt is going to be a disaster. I'm actually leaning more and more to thinking they will miss the playoffs unless Stoudemire really steps up his play.
Also, I think the bulls will really miss asik, Korver, etc.
For Chicago, additions of Marquis Teague, and Kirk Hinrich should hold good ground for them. Even though they lose size, and shooting, they add a good point guard and a good shooter. Plus this thread is pre-mature, Chicago may not be done making moves.
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
1: Miami Heat ( no repeat)
2: Toronto Raptors ( Young Guns with defense)
3: Boston Celtics (too Old)
4: Indiana Pacers (ok)
5: New York Knicks ( pure crap )
6: Chicago Bulls ( No Offense )
7: Brooklyn Nets ( no chemistry )
8: Washington Wizards (Hope)
9: Cleveland
10: Milwaukee
11: Atlanta
12: Orlando
13: Detroit
14: Charlotte
I see Toronto at 11-7, though 7th seed would be crazy.
Why are the Knicks so high on the majority of the lists? I see them as a 8th-6th seed, not a 6th-4th seed. I really do not think they are good enough to have home court for the 1st round...
7th or 8th aint far fetched. With the players we got, we could become a elite defensive team and above average offensively
If Deng or Boozer go down, Chicago is in trouble.
Given the current situation of Deng and the history of Boozer, I'd be nervous as a Bulls fan.
why is everyone so sold on the nets being a top 4 seed? they have a weak bench and Joe Johnson isnt even that good. I put them 5-7 seed.
1- Heat
2- Pacers
3- Celtics (healthy)
4- Philidelphia
5- Chicago
6- Knicks
7- Brooklyn
8- Hawks
10- Bucks (ellis and jennings take too long to gel)
11- Magic (the dwightmare ends at the deadline)
12- Cavaliers
13- Wizards
14- Pistons
15- Bobcats
I was wondering whether the Bulls would pull a Spurs by bottoming out this year to get a high draft pick and good young players to pair with Rose next year. It looked a bit like that a couple of weeks ago with the Deng trade rumours, the Boozer amnesty rumours and getting rid (or just not re-signing) their benchplayers. But I have no clue what their plan is for next year now; it looks like hoping (praying) Rose comes back quicker than projected and at a high level at that.
If Rose is actually out till march the bulls are boned. They're a overrated team as is. You really think Hinrich will keep them treading water? He's a good backup at best.
I think Magic, Knicks and Bulls are out. Raps, Bucks and Nets are in.
I could see the sixers out and pistons in as well

Yemi's story: empowering youth toward change
Penn State sophomore and World Vision Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) alumna Yemi Olugbuyi is motivating other students to create positive change in their lives and communities.
During the past school semester, Yemi started a YEP chapter on the Penn State campus in Schuylkill, Pennsylvania. YEP focuses on helping youth develop skills in leadership, civic engagement, critical thinking, advocacy, and team building.
Starting the chapter has been a major undertaking for the 19-year-old student. First, she worked to get YEP recognized as an official campus activity. She then recruited students, facilitated training sessions, and helped shape their community engagement activities. She even tweaked the YEP curriculum, originally for students between ages 14-18, designing it to be more appropriate for college-age students.
As the year progressed, the four young men and four young women who participated did not miss any of the semiweekly meetings. Yemi started a tradition of opening each session with the same question: What did you do this week that you're proud of?
Making her voice heard
The students joined YEP because they each had a passion for a particular cause, whether it was exposing racism, promoting educational reform, or reducing drug and alcohol abuse.
Yemi believes that youth should be involved in shaping the course of their future. When she was a junior in high school, she was introduced to World Vision and YEP in her hometown of Washington, D.C.
"I felt [at that time] as though young people didn't have a voice, and I thought I was the only young person who thought that," Yemi said.
After completing the year-long YEP curriculum, Yemi was anxious to find different ways to do advocacy work. "I knew I was smart, and I have friends who are smart. I got it and my friends got it -- that the world is bigger than us. You don't have to wait until you're older to make your voice heard."
Starting the conversation
As a high school senior, Yemi worked with Raimon Nelson, her mentor and World Vision's youth engagement specialist in Washington, D.C., to start a World Vision MOVE (Make Our Voices Echo) campaign that brought youth and adults together to discuss issues "that are not always talked about."
At least once a month, youth and adults met to perform -- sing, rap, or read poetry -- on social reform topics such as "mis-education" and youth violence.
The Penn State YEP group picked up Yemi's enthusiasm for engaging the community. They challenged fellow students to answer two questions: How are you changing the world? And what are you passionate about? They hung the answers in a temporary gallery exhibit on campus. "It got people talking," said Yemi.
Letting them fly
Much of what Yemi has learned about leadership came from Nelson and from the YEP curriculum. One of the most helpful strategies is also the toughest, she noted. The "step up, step down" strategy calls for a leader to know when to step down, allowing new people to lead.
"If you're not training others to be leaders, you're not really a good leader," Yemi said. "You have to let them spread their wings and fly, but still be there to support them.
"After three years, I'm still learning," she adds. "I always want to step up. It's hard."
For the past two years, Yemi has continued developing her leadership skills as a member of World Vision's National Youth Advisory Council (NYAC). In June, she represented the United States at the World Vision Regional Forum in Toronto, which also included delegates from Canada and Mexico. This summer, she will participate with youth from the Navajo Nation in a NYAC mission trip to New Mexico.
A lot to balance
In the fall, Yemi will form a new group, hoping to spread YEP to several of Penn State's 20 undergraduate campuses. Sixty percent of Penn State students spend two years on one campus before heading to another. Yemi will focus on training freshmen at Schuylkill as YEP leaders who will likewise form their own groups on other campuses.
Right now, Yemi says her life is centered on advocacy work and academics. Though college has been an adjustment, the biggest challenge has been paying for it. As the fifth of eight children -- her parents and four older siblings emigrated from Nigeria -- she is responsible for her expenses.
She was awarded a World Vision scholarship for the past two years that helps pay tuition. This summer, she is working as a ride operator at Six Flags America near Washington, D.C. Next year, she will be a resident assistant, which will pay the utilities at her student apartment. She's also on the waiting list for work-study.
It all seems a little overwhelming, even for someone who's committed to changing the world.
"It's a lot to balance," she said. "But at the end of the day, it's worth it."
Our Why World Vision? campaign is running for three more weeks! This week, we're exploring our U.S. programs and how we work to rebuild hope at home. If you missed it, see yesterday's infographic here.
All of the campaign's infographics -- disaster response, child protection, education, and more -- can be found here. We also have tag pages for all of our stories from the field, and for our Q&As with experts in each subject.
Check back next week as we talk about our faith and then wrap up the campaign by discussing World Vision's financial accountability and how we use your donations in an efficient, trustworthy way.

Live Vaccines; Live BCG/Selected Immunosuppressive Agents Interactions
This information is generalized and not intended as specific medical advice. Consult your healthcare professional before taking or discontinuing any drug or commencing any course of treatment.
Medical warning:
Severe. These medicines may interact and cause very harmful effects and are usually not taken together. Contact your healthcare professional (e.g. doctor or pharmacist) for more information.
How the interaction occurs:
Medication which suppresses the immune system may prevent your body from responding correctly to the vaccine or to your BCG medicine for bladder cancer.
What might happen:
If you are receiving immunosuppressant medicine, you may not develop disease immunity from the vaccination and/or the live vaccine may cause you to develop the illness it was supposed to prevent. However, an inactive vaccine cannot cause you to develop the illness it was supposed to prevent, even if you receive immunosuppressant medicine.If you are receiving an immunosuppressant medicine when you receive your BCG bladder treatment it may not work as well, and/or you could get a severe infection if the BCG medicine gets into your blood stream.
What you should do about this interaction:
Before receiving a vaccination with a live vaccine, or BCG medicine for bladder cancer, let your doctor know all of the other medicines you are taking, especially if your medications work by suppressing the immune system (e.g. transplant medicines)or if you have recently received radiation or chemotherapy for cancer. Your doctor may decide to give you an inactive vaccine, may want to change the timing of your vaccination or may want to change when you receive your BCG cancer medicine.Your healthcare professionals may already be aware of this interaction and may be monitoring you for it. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first.

Croatian police chief visit to INTERPOL focuses on reinforcing border security
LYON, France – During a visit today to INTERPOL's General Secretariat headquarters, General Police Director of Croatia, Vlado Dominić, reinforced his country's commitment to international police cooperation, in particular through the enhanced use of INTERPOL's global tools and networks to protect Croatia's and the European Union's borders.
With Croatia one of the most active members of the world's largest police organization, meetings with Secretary General Ronald K. Noble and other senior INTERPOL officials focused on ways the country's law enforcement agencies can further increase their information sharing of INTERPOL data at the national level, in order to ensure that Croatia remains one of the safest countries for its citizens, businesses and tourists.
Croatia has made more searches of the Stolen Motor Vehicles database than any INTERPOL member country, searching the database almost twice as frequently as the second-largest user. The country also ranks second in number of searches of the nominal database, and in the number of profiles contributed to the DNA database.
Mr Dominić highlighted how the country's activities in the areas of organized crime, fugitive investigations and terrorism prevention demonstrate the value of international law enforcement collaboration and the utility of INTERPOL's tools and services.
"Once Croatia enters the European Union and has access to the Schengen network and related police data, we will be able to screen even more information against both our own and INTERPOL's databases. Only through a constant sharing of information internationally, can we keep our country, the EU and the world safe from serious international crime," said Mr Dominić.
"We have constantly partnered with INTERPOL in bringing innovative solutions to policing and are proud to be one of the first countries to support INTERPOL's creation of a database of stolen vessels which is important to a country such as ours with such a long coastline used by so many types of sea vessels," added General Police Director of Croatia Dominić
INTERPOL Secretary General Noble welcomed the visit of the Croatian Police Director as an opportunity to identify areas for future collaboration and innovation.
"During its history with INTERPOL, Croatia has demonstrated strong leadership in helping INTERPOL put innovative solutions for international police cooperation in the hands of their law enforcement officers. Croatia also has consistently been a country that responds quickly and effectively to calls for international police assistance," the INTERPOL Chief said.
The head of INTERPOL recalled the case of Morgan Schreurs, a Dutch national wanted for murder in Belgium and the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice, who was arrested by police in Croatia in June 2012 following a tip-off from a member of the public in Ireland as 'an excellent example of the success that can be achieved through fast and effective police cooperation.'
Taking a stand against match-fixing in football, Croatian authorities launched a large-scale investigation into corruption among the country's players. In 2010, 21 individuals from the sport went on trial; those convicted included footballer Mario Cizmek, sentenced to 10 years, and former coach Vinko Saka, who received a one-year sentence, was ordered to pay back USD 58,000 and now faces potential match-fixing charges in Italy. Among the assets seized by police following the investigation were EUR 184,000 in cash and two apartments.
Mr Dominić was accompanied by Dalibor Jurić, Head of Sector for Support of the Criminal Police Directorate and a former head of the INTERPOL National Central Bureau in Zagreb.

Making good on a promise tendered
last week, the country of Sweden pressed charges against four ThePirateBay.org
administrators, accusing them of conspiring to break
Swedish copyright law.
According to prosecutor Håkan Roswall, the BitTorrent
supersite commercially exploits copyright-protected works through ad revenues,
of which it nets over $3 million annually. The four men charged include The Pirate Bay
co-founder Peter "Brokep" Sunde, administrators Gottfrid Svartholm and Fredrik
Neij, and businessman/entrepreneur Carl Lundström, whose company once provided
hosting for the site. Authorities specifically named 33 different copyrighted
works, comprising of 20 songs, nine films and four computer games for which
The Pirate Bay made torrents available illegally.
Roswall says that the four should be made to pay at least
$188,000, which the indictment says is the minimum profit that The Pirate Bay
made from its activities. If convicted, they could face up to two years in
IFPI chairman John Kennedy says The Pirate Bay is primarily
interested in "making money, not music" and that the site turned Sweden, which
is "normally the most law abiding of EU countries," into a copyright charlatan,
with "intellectual property laws on par with Russia."
Despite the accusations, The Pirate Bay seems unfazed. "In
case we lose the pending trial (yeah right) there will still not be any changes
to the site. The Pirate Bay will keep operating just as always. We've been here
for years and we will be here many more," writes an unnamed administrator on
the site's official blog, before
pointing out that Swedish police could have "saved a hell of a lot of trees" by
posting the 4,620 pages of legal documents against Sunde and friends –
available for approximately $1000 USD – in a PDF torrent on the site.
The Pirate Bay says that it hosts close to a million
torrents, which point to files on users' computers that are distributed across
the BitTorrent network. The site maintains that it does not host nor trade in
infringing material, an accusation that Sunde dismissed as "idiotic" in an
interview with Reuters conducted
earlier last January.
BBC's dot.life blogger Darren
Waters believes
The Pirate Bay – as opposed to other torrent supersites – was targeted because
of its openly defiant attitude and historic
resilience to legal threats; the site keeps an online graveyard of sorts littered with takedown notices and administrators'
sarcastic responses. The Pirate Bay's adversaries include almost every major
copyright organization on the planet, as well as numerous artists, software
developers, and filmmakers.
Thus far – with one exception, due to a police raid
in May 2006 that knocked the site offline for a few days – The Pirate Bay
continues to operate unrestricted.

Consumer Group Lauds Debt Collection Firm
The American Consumer Council, a consumer group affiliated with over 40 credit unions, has awarded a debt collection for its consumer oriented service.
The council awarded the firm, CSF2, recognized it with its Friend of the Consumer Award for 2013.
"The American Consumer Council is pleased to recognize CSF2 with its 2013 Friend of the Consumer Award for its commitment to helping a large segment of consumers get back on their feet through employment assistance and debt negotiation services. As a financial recovery company, CSF2 is offering valued services that millions of consumers desperately need as we emerge from one of the longest recessions in our nation's history."
The American Consumer Council is a Tulsa, Okla.-based organization with over 118,000 paid members. It is affiliated with over 40 credit unions. Affiliation with the credit unions allows members of the council to join the credit union and brings the council income from the credit unions. The organization also has a corporate sponsorship program.
"For too long collection agencies have gotten away with unethical practices for how they treat consumers and collect debt. This has caused a great deal of negative publicity for the major banks who sell their charged-off credit cards to collection agency debt buyers, and they are beginning to feel the consequences of the political, legal and economic risk when they sell their delinquent loans to a company that abuses consumers, "said Bill Bartmann, CEO of CFS2, when explaining the debit collection niche his firm fills.
"We take a lot of flak from the collection industry because we are starting to make their life difficult. Regulators and legislators are looking at what we are doing and asking why the rest of the industry is not like CFS2. As you might guess, I am not very popular at industry conventions and you don't need to look far to find our critics," said Bartmann. "We'll see who gets the last word. You can't go wrong by doing things right."
The American Consumer Council is a nonprofit membership organization, founded in 1986, that is dedicated to consumer education, advocacy and financial literacy. Each year, ACC grants Friend of the Consumer Awards to deserving companies that have "demonstrated a commitment to American consumers by providing a service that fosters consumer confidence and market acceptance."
CFS2 maintains that, unlike traditional debt agencies, CFS2 provides a wide range of services to help consumers regain control of their lives. Using a patented process, CFS2 offers free of cost a full line of beneficial services for consumers, ranging from medical discounts and job-hunting assistance to legal aid. The company claims to have helped thousands of American consumers minimize their current debt by directly communicating with its consumers' other creditors, helping them find employment and assisting enrollment in government benefits.

Bench measurements under 110dBc 3rd order intermodulation distortion
Post a comment
Emerging low power fully differential amplifiers (FDAs) are intended to support IF and ADC interface requirements with exceptional linearity. Offering intercepts exceeding 50dBm on very lower power, they can provide an attractive option to the more typical Class A RF amplifiers for applications below 500Mhz. An immediate practical issue is encountered in attempting to measure the IM3 when the spurious are >-110dBc below the carriers. Typical approaches of projecting from -1dB compression points do not apply to FDA type devices. Other projection techniques can certainly help, but at the end of the day generating a -120dBc clean input and measuring a -110dBc dynamic range are both useful capabilities in these types of measurements.
Extremely high 3rd order intercept amplifiers
Communications channels have always needed a mix of low noise figure, high intercept, and manageable quiescent power to deliver leading edge systems. The 3rd order intermodulation intercept is particularly important as it describes how low the spurious powers will be at the output of a stage receiving two closely spaced carriers that were not in the original input signal. These are particularly troublesome since they will fall close-in to the carries and cannot be filtered out. The classic definition of the 3rd order intercept is shown in figure 1. Also shown is the spacing around a center frequency where the resulting spurious will be. Essentially, for carriers spaced +/-?f around f0, the 3rd order spurious will be +/-3?f around f0 where f0 is the average (or center) frequency of the two carriers.
Click on image to enlarge.
Figure 1. 3rd order intercept definition.
For amplifiers that show an intercept characteristic, this simple approach gives an easy way to predict SFDR for different output carrier levels. From fig. 1, the intercept for equal carrier power (P0), is given by eq. 1.
From this single number, an estimate of the 3rd order SFDR may be made as eq. 2
The intercept is often constant over frequency for class A type RF amplifiers, but never so for more high open loop gain, voltage or current feedback based, fully differential amplifier (FDA) type devices. These lower power devices offer a frequency dependent loop gain and lower full power bandwidth (slew rate) that reduce the performance as the frequency increases.
The easy measurement is when the test power levels are at 0dBm. In the example drawing of fig. 1,which is drawn with a -60dBc to the 3rd order spurious at 0dBm output, so the intercept is 30dBm from equation 1. Then, at say 10dBm output level (2Vpp on each tone for a sine wave test, 4Vpp output envelope), equation 2 would predict 40dB SFDR, which also can be seen in fig. 1. The name intercept point comes from the intersection of the 2 curves in fig. 1. That also equals 30dBm and is a projection of where the output spurious would equal the test powers. That 30dBm output power is of course not intended here and the model is only used to project the 3rd order spurious at output powers far below this intercept point.
Not all amplifiers show a strictly intercept performance, so it is also common to just see a 3rd order spurious level vs. frequency and/or output power level plot. This is particularly common when the loads are not intended to be 50ohm loads such as driving ADC inputs. For example, a very low IM3 device like the ISL55210 (ref. 1) shows a data sheet plot such as fig. 2 (figure 9, ref. 2).
Click on image to enlarge.
Figure 2. Swept frequency, fixed gain, 200Ohm load IM2/IM3 SFDR plot for the ISL55210
This is showing the ?dBc from equal test tone powers to the spurious levels for different fixed output 2-tone envelopes swept up in frequency using the 15dB gain test circuit of fig. 3. The output network of fig. 3 maps from a 200O differential load to a single ended 50ohm measurement path. The 2Vpp curve is 2, 1Vpp test tones at the output pins (Vo) spaced +/-100khz around the x-axis frequency.
Above 150Mhz, it is starting to look like it might have an intercept characteristic, but the question here is how to generate and test these <-100dBc levels in a lab environment. While the IM2 is not nearly so low as the IM3 for the 115mW ISL55210, the intent was that a bandpass filter would filter those off. This is to follow the stage when it is the <100dBc 3rd order terms that are of interest in the application.
Developing the input test signal
Testing for OIP3 starts with summing two signal generators together and eventually ends with using a spectrum analyzer to measure very low spurious levels. To allow the spectrum analyzer some chance of making this measurement, it helps to use very low phase noise sources locked to the spectrum analyzer to zoom in on a narrow span knowing exactly where to look with no phase noise smearing of the measured power. Those synthesized sources are readily available (e.g. HP8662, HP8664, Gigatronics 6080A, R&S SMA100A, etc) and the fact they have very poor harmonic distortion (typically in the -50dBc to -60dBc range) is inconsequential to amplifier IM3 testing. Those straight harmonic distortion do matter to ADC testing and the test signal needs to be run through a bandpass filter in that case. No passive filtering is required in testing IM2/IM3 for amplifiers as none of individual source harmonics create terms at the intermodulation locations.

Hot Sweet Onion Dip
A while ago I came across a recipe for a hot sweet onion dip that sounded interesting. I had never really paid much attention to onions as they are not usually the star of the show and I could not recall having ever tried a sweet onion. I normally just use the basic yellow onions in cooking and some red onions for salads. The other day I noticed that they had some vidalia onions that were labeled as sweet at the grocery store and I picked some up right away remembering this recipe. This dip was super simple to make; you just mix everything and bake until it is golden brown and bubbling. I really enjoyed the hot sweet onion dip! The baked onions were soft and tender and they actually were nice and sweet. The sweetness of the onions went really well with the rest of the creamy and savoury dip. I served the dip with some toasted bread for dipping and or spreading. I will definitely be making this again.
Hot Sweet Onion Dip
- 1 (4 ounce) package of cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano (grated)
- 1/2 cup sweet onion (chopped)
- pepper to taste
- Mix everything, place it in a baking dish and bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until the top is nice and browned, about 30-50 minutes.
Slow Cooker: Mix everything, place it in the slow cooker and cook until the cheese is nice and melted about 1-2 hours on high or 2-4 hours on low.

The software implements Perl classes which maintain data structures representing existing newsgroups and proposals for new newsgroups, and the Web site is mostly dynamically generated by Perl CGI and PHP code which reads the data structures mentioned above. The Web site is intended to provide the user with as much information as possible about the newsgroups which are under management.
libbnr is an implementation of the Bayesian Noise Reduction (BNR) algorithm. All samples of text contain some degree of noise (data which is either intentionally or unintentionally irrelevant to accurate statistical analysis of the sample where removal of the data would result in a cleaner analysis). The Bayesian noise reduction algorithm provides a means of cleaner machine learning by providing more useful data, which ultimately leads to better sample analysis. With the noisy data removed from the sample, what is left is only data relevant to the classification. libbnr can be linked in with your classifier and called using the standard C interface.
Beonex Communicator is Mozilla polished for end users. It contains Navigator, Mailnews, Composer, and ChatZilla. Navigator has support for key web standards and a convenient interface. For example, it eases searching the Internet, similar to Apple's Sherlock on Macintosh. The Bookmark Manager can deal with huge collections of bookmarks and allows you to overview and sort them while you are surfing. If you want, you can track the latest headlines or webcams using the Sidebar. The Mailnews client supports multiple IMAP, POP3 and/or news accounts for each user, so you can download and manage all your email from various accounts in one place and store them on your computer or the server. Beonex puts a strong emphasis on security, privacy, and netiquette, to protect the private or confidential information on your computer and to encourage fairness.
Binbot is an easy-to-use newsreader for downloading binaries from Usenet. It was designed to browse large binary newsgroups efficiently, and to download huge files quickly. It supports all common article encodings, multiple servers, and NZB files. It also includes built-in access to Web-based Usenet search engines, and automatic unrar, unzip, and unsplit capabilities.
Bulletin Board News Server is a (relatively) quick NNTP interface for vBulletin. It reads directly from the MySQL DB and is therefore independent of the Web frontend. It doesn't alter read counters, but "forbidden names", name size limitations, user authentication, and anonymous posting (through a "usenet" user) are implemented. Registered users (either in the vboard or through a proprietary pw hash in the config file) can see the email addresses of others, as far as the owners permit it.
Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, lightweight, and fast email client. Almost all commands are accessible with the keyboard. It also has many features such as multiple accounts, POP3/SMTP/IMAP/NNTP support, OpenSSL, GnuPG, and LDAP support, a plugin system, spell checking, filtering, Actions, spam and virus filters, an address book, internationalization, and much more.
DBOX is a free communication package for ISPs. It supports a large number of message formats such as RFC/UUCP, ZConnect, Janus/Janus2, Alphabox, and GSbox. It is designed for large installations and includes a WWW package with an email/HTML gateway, an HTML online shop, support for POP3/IMAP4, and personal homepages with HTTP/FTP upload.

BECU Members Go Live in Marketing Campaign (Video)
Actual members breathe life into BECU's latest campaign.
The $11.8 billion Seattle credit union's new multi-media SHARE campaign features more than 50 stories pulled from members who share their love for BECU every day – in face-to-face conversations, on Facebook, on Twitter, on Yelp, and on blogs.
Those members were recruited from those who enthusiastically posted about their experience with the 800,000-member credit union's products and remote services. BECU in collaboration with its advertising agency, Seattle-based DNA, then produced several TV, radio, outdoor, print and digital ads based on real messages from real members. No scripting was involved.
According to Stephen Black, vice president of marketing, the SHARE campaign "is the BECU brand as voiced by members." It has been designed as a way to help drive more awareness of the BECU and credit union difference, grow membership, and deepen relationships with current members while spreading the word via sharing, the big credit union said.
Future campaign plans include featuring segments that shed light on other BECU services consumers may not be aware, including mortgages, small business and wealth management.
"Our goal is that members will 'SHARE' their experience with their family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. We already have many more members we could highlight. This is just the beginning," Black said.

Orioles vs. Royals 5/25/11-5/26/11
This is WAY overdue, and may not be too in-detail, but hell, here it is.
Wednesday, May 25th
4 BP baseballs.
Some autographs from the Royals:
A tribute to Royals old announcer Paul Splittorff:
Sitting behind the opposing dugout again:
Then the outfield a few innings in.
And that was it. I don't remember much more, but undoubtedly more happened.
Thursday, May 26th
Weather Day/Field Trip Day at a 12:35 game = hell:
So Donna, myself, and her friend were the only non-Field Trip people there:
I managed 5 baseballs still somehow.
Tossup from Sean O'Sullivan when he warmed up down the line, followed by one from the trainer nearby out of a big pile (I was the only one there asking).
Jeff Francoeur overthrew a ball while warming up and said I could keep it:
Then, Mike Aviles came over to talk to people he knew. Not only did he sign my ticket:
But I asked for his warmup ball when he finished. He said sure. Tom (security guy) heard this, so he knew I was owed a ball.
Well, Wilson Betemit finished throwing, and threw his ball towards my area of people. It was bobbled by some, and landed on the field. Tom assumed it was the one promised to me, so he picked it up and handed it over. I told him how it wasn't (we laughed) and I handed it off to a girl waving a Royals sign. Then, Aviles (as promised) put his warmup ball in my glove as he jogged by.
More autographs on back of season ticket (including Joakim Soria, Robinson Tejeda (DFA'd next day), and someone else):
Mission accomplished (I think?).
Spent the game in the left field seats getting fried by the sun with Matt Gardner. He's the man to watch baseball with.
Gorgeous day, but it was like 40 bajillion degrees with like 80 bajillion percent humidity.
So of course, when we went up to club level for an inning to get some A/C, Nolan Reimold smacked a HR (his 2nd of the day) literally 2 seats above where I was sitting in an empty area. God damn. Click here to see that video and see where it landed. If you see a kid racing over from a section across then have the ball bounce over his head (white shirt, orange bucket hat), that's Tim/Ben's friend Sean. He was oh so close.
There was a ground rule double later in the game I would have had a chance at, but not thinking it would bounce 15 rows up, I didn't make the 3 section run to grab it. It landed in a seat straight away 3 sections over in my row. Nobody in my way. Could've had it. Oh well. Some lady grabbed it.
Now off to the beginning of a 9 game home stand. Woot. And yes, I *will* have the Shutdown Sauce poster, so look out for it.
Oh yeah, and go to MLB.com and vote Adam Jones to the All Star Game. Do it. Remember two days ago? Yeah. SO worth it.

BCAAFit 5000 provides bodybuilders, athletes and dieters 5 grams of free-form branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) per serving.
What BCAAs can do for you.
BCAAs help increase muscle size and strength, protect hard-earned muscle from breakdown, reduce muscle soreness and fatigue, increase athletic endurance and enhance recovery.*
Help build muscle size and strength.*
A study of experienced bodybuilders who took BCAAs 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after a workout showed greater weight gains than the placebo group.* They increased muscle mass in the legs and arms while the placebo group showed no gains in the legs and arms.* The BCAA group also showed strength gains in the squat and bench press.*
Activate muscle building.*
New research shows that L-Leucine may act as a switch that turns on the muscle-building process.*
Protect against muscle breakdown.*
BCAAs are unique in that they can be burned by the body for energy and potentially preserve hard-earned muscle, which is important for those who are dieting or restricting calories.*
Help reduce muscle soreness.*
A study of men and women who took 5 grams of BCAAs 15 minutes before a series of squat exercises (7 sets of 20 per set) showed they experienced significantly less muscle soreness and fatigue during the 4 days post-workout compared to placebo.*
Enhance endurance and recovery.*
Another study of individuals undergoing 4 weeks of high-intensity resistance training designed to induce a state of overtraining resulted in no performance declines and lower markers of muscle damage in the BCAA group, while the placebo group experienced a significant decline in performance.*
Instant mixing -- Unflavored -- Unsweetened
You get 100% BCAAs that are instantized with a small amount of sunflower lecithin (non-genetically engineered).

Either a Photoshop wizard with a knack for the subtle and boring has just created a masterpiece, or the first legitimate photos of the Blackberry Storm 2 have hit the web. The pictures confirm the statements Research in Motion, the most dominant player in the smartphone industry, had previously made regarding the second generation Storm.
The phone, codenamed "Oden", after the Norse god of storms, hopes to offer improvements where the original Storm had shortcomings. However, hardware-wise the phone is remarkably similar to its predecessor, which helps to lend credence to the photos.
The phone's back is identical -- a dark gray brushed aluminum case with a 3.2 MP camera with autofocus and flash mounted above it. The front looks a bit different, though, as the click buttons for call, menu, back, and terminate have been switched to touch screen buttons. Likewise, the side is slightly changed with rocker switch for volume and the camera button becoming more rounded and shifting from chrome to the same gray/black of the rest of the casing.
One trouble spot could be the headphone jack. Whereas the Storm had a flat jack, perfect for any headphone model, the Storm 2 appears to have joined the iPhone in having a recessed jack. Looks may be deceiving, but it could hint that Blackberry is hoping to gain more control over its headphone and accessory sales.
The phone, according to sources, is the GSM version. Among its rumored new features are Wi-Fi, GPS and a supposedly "new approach to text entry". However, the most critical thing to the phone's reception will likely be what's inside. The first Storm was slow and unresponsive; between its processor, chipset, and OS, the Storm 2 will have to remedy this or risk getting blasted by critics.
The Storm 2 is rumored to be set for a September release on Verizon. Other reported Blackberries soon to be released include phones codenamed Gemini and Onyx/Driftwood.

Landmark visit to Venezuela by INTERPOL Chief seeks to boost international law enforcement co-operation
INTERPOL Secretary General to meet with Luisa Ortega Díaz, la fiscal general de Venezuela to discuss blocked Red Notices
CARACAS, Venezuela – In a first official mission to Venezuela by an INTERPOL Secretary General, Ronald K. Noble is to meet today with Luisa Ortega Díaz, la fiscal general de Venezuela, and other senior officials from la Fiscalia to discuss blocked Red Notices and ways to improve co-operation between INTERPOL and Venezuela. Specifically, the head of INTERPOL will discuss why INTERPOL's fully independent Commission for the Control of INTERPOL's Files (CCF) has recommended the blocking of a number of Venezuelan Red Notices, or international wanted persons alerts, for certain banking officials as the requests raised doubts in relation to their compliance with INTERPOL's rules.
INTERPOL Secretary General Noble is carrying out this historic mission to ensure that the current disagreement between Venezuela and INTERPOL and its independent oversight body, the CCF, on whether INTERPOL should issue Red Notices in a specific category of cases for specific defendants will not be misconstrued as a broader conflict between Venezuela and INTERPOL.
"There are currently more than 100 valid Red Notices issued by INTERPOL on behalf of Venezuela in circulation worldwide. The decision therefore to refuse specific Red Notices, in a specific category of cases and for specific defendants should not be interpreted as any kind of 'attack' on Venezuela, but simply that INTERPOL is adhering to its rules," stated Mr Noble.
"The sovereignty of Venezuela and every INTERPOL member country is paramount and fully respected by the General Secretariat, however for the use of INTERPOL's tools such as our Red Notices which can impede a person's ability to travel internationally, it is vital that our rules and regulations are adhered to in order to maintain confidence and trust in our actions as an independent intergovernmental organization," added INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble.
INTERPOL is aware that many Venezuelans have lost large amounts of money linked to alleged criminal conduct on the part of certain banks and individuals operating in Venezuela. Venezuelan citizens, like the citizens of any country, have the right to expect their governments to investigate such alleged crimes to the fullest extent of the law.
In order to ensure that cases that comply with INTERPOL's rules for the issuance of Red Notices can be identified, INTERPOL's Secretary General will propose opening direct channels of communication between Venezuela's Fiscalia and INTERPOL's Office of Legal Affairs. Establishing direct lines of communication will improve mutual understanding of Venezuela's laws in relation to issues such as banking fraud and conflicts of interest and INTERPOL's rules concerning pre-requisites for the issuance of Red Notices.
"It is out of respect for Venezuela as a valued member country that I offered to travel to Caracas to personally meet with Luisa Ortega Díaz, la fiscal general de Venezuela, and other senior officials from la Fiscalia to discuss blocked Red Notices. Today's meeting will permit us to discuss issues of mutual concern in an open and transparent manner, and I am sure that our discussions will be productive on many levels," concluded Mr Noble.
