(Information in this team report is as of Oct. 1.)
Herb Sendek says he doesn't want to dwell on the 2010-11 season, and it's hard to blame him.
The Arizona State coach, who won the Pac-10's coach of the year award in 2009-10 for exceeding expectations despite having lost James Harden and Jeff Pendergraph to the 2009 NBA draft, experienced the other side of things last season.
The transfer of four players after 2009-10 left the roster weakened before the season, then a torrent of injuries and illness crushed the Sun Devils during the season. They went from second place to last, losing nine in a row during the heart of the Pac-10 season and revived only in the final weekend of play by beating Oregon and a suspension-weakened Oregon State team.
The Sun Devils used 11 different lineups, their most since 2003-04, and started 11 different players. Each of their top four scorers missed at least two games with illness or injury, and ASU had a full complement of players available for only 10-of-18 conference games.
Arizona State Sun Devils
In his typical no-nonsense manner, Sendek summed it all up concisely.
"It was one of those years where we did have a number of health-related issues and sometimes you're more fortunate than other years," Sendek said. "We had any number of guys who had different issues who were either kept out of practice for long periods of time or were put in a position where they didn't do their best. But at this point, there's not a lot of dwelling on that."
Instead, Sendek said he's looking forward to coaching this season's players.
"I'm excited about the upcoming season," he said. "I like our guys very much."
In 5-10 freshman point guard Jahii Carson (32.2 ppg, 6.6 apg/Mesa HS/Mesa, Ariz.), the Sun Devils have new life personified. Not only is Carson an explosive, springy point guard who loves to attack but he also has a personality to match his game: He's publicly discussed the rivalry with Arizona freshman and decade-long friend Nick Johnson, he's praised Sendek and he's said the Sun Devils can become national championship contenders before long.
"He has that charisma," Shane Burcar, Carson's coach at Mesa HS, told the Arizona Republic. "He has that hop to him. He'll bring instant credibility and an automatic scorer. He speaks very well for an 18-year-old. And when you see him play, you automatically want to watch him."
The interesting thing to see is how Sendek might alter his offense to suit Carson.
Sendek is known for running a half-court game that's often designed to find the best possible shots for a shooter like the departed Ty Abbott, but he's also mixed in some motion offense in recent seasons.
With Carson, Sendek has a guard who can freelance -- with some allowance for the inevitable turnovers -- but also the skills to run an effective half-court game.
"We always try to take the team we have, the players we have and put them in the best position to be successful," Sendek said. "So whether it's Jahii or the entire team, there are some differences this year than last year, and it's important to take that into consideration."
While top 2010 Arizona prospects failed to make an impact at ASU and Arizona -- Corey Hawkins transferred from ASU to UC Davis in the spring after one year while UA's Daniel Bejarano moved to Colorado State -- Carson proved he was ready for more by becoming the only high school player to make USA Basketball's U19 team over the summer.
Not that Sendek had any doubt. He pulled in Carson just after Arizona received a commitment from Johnson, the former Gilbert High School star who went on to Findlay Prep in Nevada, giving the Sun Devils a much-needed replacement for the departed Jamelle McMillan.
"I think he is an explosive athlete," Sendek said of Carson. "He has excellent quickness, and I think he's really good at getting teammates involved. He can also score."
Carson will probably have the ball in his hands as long as he can stand it, though Sendek has a pair of combo guards on hand to take over when needed: 6-4 sophomore Keala King (3.7 ppg, 2.6 rpg) and junior Chris Colvin (13.0 ppg at Palm Beach State CC/Palm Beach, Fla./Iowa State/Whitney Young HS/Chicago).
A transfer from Iowa State, Colvin is likely to help at both guard spots, with the ability to create for others, and himself. He hasn't generated much buzz outside the program, but ASU coaches are optimistic about him.
"He's a very good athlete," Sendek said. "He's an explosive guy who can really put the ball on the floor as well as shoot it."
King can also help at point guard, though his life will be easier if he can settle into one or two positions instead of the four that ASU asked of him last season. He played everything from point guard to power forward as a freshman.
King hit just 1-of-18 three-pointers last season but he was effective everywhere else on the floor. He's aggressive, a good passer, can defend well and knows where to be on the floor. He also adjusted quickly last year to Sendek's system, having to come in from the high-profile Mater Dei High School program only to find himself benched for two early-season games.
"One of his best assets is he's versatile," Sendek said.
The Sun Devils also have some versatility in wings Carrick Felix (4.6 ppg, 1.6 rpg), a 6-6 junior, and 6-5 sophomore Chanse Creekmur (3.1 ppg, 1.3 rpg) plus a cornerstone in Trent Lockett (13.4 ppg, 5.3 rpg), a 6-4 junior who led ASU in scoring last season.
Combined with the presence of 7-footers Ruslan Pateev (3.0 ppg, 2.0 rpg) and Jordan Bachynski (2.8 ppg, 2.3 rpg), the Sun Devils have the ability to create many different looks.
Without the steady McMillan, who accepted an operations coordinator job at Drake, the Sun Devils will be expecting more leadership out of Lockett. Already, Lockett became a second-team All-Pac-10 pick last season by being more aggressive, playing solid defense and adding a strong midrange game to his driving ability. His 15-footer, in particular, has become almost automatic.
He played his best in the second half of the season after he recovered from a toe injury that cost him the first week of Pac-10 play.
Lockett added 6.7 points to his scoring average as a sophomore and shot 51.6 percent from the field, 32.3 percent from three-point range and 66.2 percent from the free-throw line. He worked over the summer to improve his shot in part by vowing to make 100 free throws at the end of every workout before he could leave.
Usually, according to the Arizona Republic, he only needed about 110 shots to do it. Once he did it in 104.
"Trent obviously has a very significant and prominent role in our program," Sendek said. "We went through him a lot last year and I expect we will this year. He had a terrific first two years for us and we expect him to build on that.
"We definitely look for Trent to expand his horizons, and he's comfortable at any number of spots on the court."
A onetime signee at Duke who instead enrolled at the College of Southern Idaho, Felix had a rough adjustment to Division I last season.
Felix struggled early and then improved into the midseason, with his athleticism and driving ability putting him on the floor for an average 23 minutes over five games after Christmas. But he then missed a game in late January with an illness and was never quite the same afterward.
This time it could be different.
"This should be a tremendous growing year for him," Sendek said. "Carrick's had a real good spring and summer. He's in a good place right now."
You can find a YouTube video of Creekmur dunking over a car, but that isn't the kind of thing the Sun Devils expect most from him: Creekmur is a strong shooter who has the potential to replace some of Rihards Kuksiks' scoring from the perimeter.
He was indispensable in ASU's 73-72 win over Washington State on Feb. 19, scoring 18 points while making 5-of-8 threes in his first start.
"Chanse really showed marked signs of growth and improvement last year," Sendek said. "He laid a good foundation."
The Sun Devils also will have shooting help from another big wing, 6-7 freshman Jonathan Gilling (15.2 ppg, Horsholm 79ers, Denmark), whom Sendek says has a "tremendous feel for the game."
Already as a freshman last season, 6-7 sophomore Kyle Cain (5.4 ppg, 5.5 rpg) became the Sun Devils' leading rebounder. He'll be counted on this time to anchor the power forward spot and may play center at times when one of the 7-footers can't.
Sendek wasn't about to peg Cain to a particular position but instead noted this:
"I know one thing about Kyle -- he plays with a lot of heart and passion," Sendek said. "He has a great motor, and can really rebound the ball."
Perhaps the biggest intrigue with Sendek's lineup this season will be in what he can get out of his two big men.
Bachynski and Pateev were relatively inexperienced last season, and both barely managed double-figure minutes. Pateev had been sparingly used as a freshman in 2009-10 and Bachynski was coming off a Mormon mission he took after high school.
Not only that, but Bachynski had suffered with ankle problems in high school, which prompted his decision to go on a mission before college. Already, the native of Calgary gave up hockey in order to protect his basketball career.
As last season went on, both players began to make an impact. Pateev blocked 24 shots and scored 90 points over 30 games, while Bachynski had 20 blocks and made 49 percent of his field goals.
For being 7-2, Bachynski actually has pretty good athleticism, too, when he's healthy.
"Those guys were first-year players for all intents and purposes," Sendek said. "Both of them have worked to get strong and those guys definitely have the gift of size."
The Sun Devils have been one of the most difficult teams in the Pac-10 to predict, and that doesn't figure to change this season in the Pac-12.
If their chemistry and leadership comes together, and if they are blessed with decent health, they will cause problems with their athleticism, shooting, size and Sendek's intricate game plans.
But, without a single senior on the roster and a heavy dependence on new players, they could also struggle in a transition season.
They will be good in 2012-13. Maybe really good. But this season could go either way.
Certainly Sendek isn't about to predict which way.
"Right now we're just excited about the season," he said. "We have a lot of work ahead of us. Hopefully Trent and the older guys will carry the torch."

The Back Story
This administration in Washington is honestly asking other human beings to believe that American security is so precious, that it can have in its possession whatever weapons of mass destruction it might want, but others cant. You know, I heard that argument for years. Ive worked on this subject for over a quarter of a century . . . Ive written a book about it. And the Indians were quite compelling, saying, We cant accept that somehow American security is more important than ours. Weve got China on our border with nuclear weapons, theyve attacked us several times. We cant accept the basic inequity that is involved in that position. The United States is about to bring that inequity to a height and it will have nothing to say, nothing that it can credibly say to any other country You may not have these weapons or indeed to a terrorist group, if it itself walks away from what it has solemnly promised under international law. I welcome your calling attention to this. People must debate this. This is a very serious move.
All your bombs are belong to us: Former UNSCOM inspector Richard Butler on the U.S. governments plans to incorporate mini-nukes in its arsenal.
Reporters Without Borders today protested against the detention of six French journalists on arrival a week ago at Los Angeles international airport to cover a video games trade show [E3] and their forcible repatriation after being held at the airport for more than 24 hours . . . They were subjected to interrogation sessions and six body searches. They were handcuffed while being moved from one place to another, and they were fingerprinted. One official told [one of the journalists that] he would not be able to return to the United States again.

Europes elite . . . are suspicious that the U.S. does not need or even want a stable, legitimate central government in Iraq. When that happens, there will be no reason for the U.S. to remain in the country. Europes elite see the U.S. establishing facts on the ground: establishing a long-term military presence and getting the oil flowing again under American control. This could go on for years, as long as the Americans can guarantee enough essential services to prevent the Iraqi people from engaging in a war of national liberation.

Confident Transitions - Loch Lomond
A day of teamwork and reflection in Loch Lomond.
Helping young people, organisations and communities to design and take action together
A day of teamwork and reflection in Loch Lomond.
Last month we began our exciting new project which aims to help support young peoples' aspirations on Islay and Jura.
Forfar Academy at MAKLab, Glasgow, creating prototypes of signs and outdoor spaces for community campus
We do this because young people see things differently, approach problems imaginatively and aren't afraid to say what they think. We are passionate about building resilience - among individuals, within groups and across wider communities. We all need to be better at coping with ongoing change.
Our youth-led enquiry is a powerful catalyst, generating new insights and building more collaborative leadership:
In education: we support teachers and young people to work together to lead change in our schools.
In communities: we help young people to work alongside local service providers and residents to lead ideas for change in the places where they live, learn and play.
In life: we enable young people to bring new understanding and inspiration to tackle enduring challenges around wellbeing, justice and employment.
Space Unlimited is a social enterprise and registered charity.

This invention relates to the processing of requests received in a selected packetized format, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for the accelerated processing of selected such requests, particularly hard real-time requests, such as those involved in industrial automation.
While there is always a desire for data processing requests to be processed quickly, response time, which is sometimes also referred to as turn-around time, is particularly critical for hard real-time applications, these being applications such as those in industrial automation where the processor is being utilized to control an ongoing process in real-time. For example, in an industrial automation process, a robot may have sensors which are scanned at frequent intervals, the sensor outputs being used to control a feedback process to the robot. It is frequently desirable that such processes operate with a turn-around time in the submillisecond range. However, while it is possible to obtain such processing speeds utilizing parallel processing techniques, supercomputers or other high cost devices, most hard real-time applications cannot justify the cost of such hardware and generally utilize PC's or comparable hardware having turn-around times which are normally greater than one millisecond and, with even lower costs equipment, can be ten milliseconds or more.
A need therefore exists to permit low cost data processors, typically operating with turn-around times of one to ten milliseconds or more, to be able to perform selected hard real-time operations, particularly industrial automation applications, with turn-around times in the submillisecond range with little, if any, increase in hardware costs and with minimal software burden.
In accordance with the above, this invention provides a method and apparatus for permitting selected requests to a data processing system to be identified when received and to be handled in an expedited manner, eliminating certain steps in the operation not required for such requests and receiving processing priority. In particular, requests received in practicing the teachings of this invention are received in a packetized form, the packets being in accordance with a predetermined protocol which is preferably an Ethernet protocol. Each packet includes a field normally used for controlling routing of the request, which field is a "port" field for preferred embodiments. Selected codes in this field identify a request as a hard real-time or other request requiring rapid processing. A table is stored containing as a minimum, an entry for each of the selected codes and an address pointer to either a buffer containing a response to the packet or to an application stored in memory, which application is appropriate for processing the corresponding request. A routine (first routine) is also provided which compares the code in the given field, for example the port field, of an incoming request with codes stored in the table, passes requests with codes not in the table for normal processing and initiates an expedited processing, depending on the code, for requests having a code matching a code in the table. Where the pointer is to an address storing an application for processing the request, the first routine establishes a special process structure for the request, and routes such matching requests for priority processing by the application at the corresponding pointer address. Where the application causes a reply output to be generated, for example a feedback instruction to a robot or other machine used in an industrial automation application, the routine utilizes the special process structure to provide priority routing of a reply output to output circuitry. For example, where an Ethernet protocol is utilized for requests/replies and Ethernet routines have priority over other routines being run on the processor, first routines may be treated by the data processor as Ethernet routines. For such systems, the output circuitry would be an Ethernet driver. Where the address pointer is to a buffer containing information for a response to the request, the information at the pointer address is utilized to create a packetized reply.
One way in which requests afforded fast processing in accordance with the teachings of this invention may be processed approximately an order of magnitude faster than other requests applied to the system is that certain time consuming second processing routines normally performed on all requests are not required for the selected requests and are not performed. If a particular request requires one or more of these second processing routines, the request is either not routed for fast processing, or is routed for fast processing to perform a portion of the processing which may be expeditiously performed by the first routines to facilitate hard real-time operation and is also performed with the second routines for selected purposes.
A routine may also be provided for making an entry into the table, this "register" routine responding to an application request to store at least a selected code and address pointer. The register routine may also store selected flags for an entry. Finally, the apparatus may include a deregister routine which is operative for removing entries from the table.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
The FIGURE is a schematic block diagram of an illustrative system suitable for use in practicing the teachings of this invention.
Referring to the drawing, an illustrative system 10 is shown which system may be utilized for practicing the teachings of this invention. The system includes at least one and preferably a plurality of industrial automation (IA) devices 12A-12N or other hard real-time devices which interface with a control apparatus 14 through a single suitable data transfer link 16 or through separate links. Depending on application, link(s) 16 may be a telephone line, a cable or other electrical connection, an optical transmission link, an RF transmission link or other mechanism known in the art for transmitting data packets between two devices. The same or different transmission media may be used for devices 12. Transmit and receive elements appropriate for the transmission medium 16 are included in each of the devices 12 and in apparatus 14. For purposes of the following discussion, it will be assumed that requests transmitted from a device 12 to control apparatus 14 are in an appropriate Ethernet packetized protocol, and preferably that such protocol is used for transmitting requests/replies in both directions across media 16. The packetized data protocol used may for example be a datagram protocol such as UDP, IPX or IPC, or may be a connection oriented protocol, such as TCP, SPX or SPP. For an illustrative embodiment, the protocol utilized is UDP (unit data packet). If a connection oriented protocol is used, TCP (transmission control protocol) would be utilized for a preferred embodiment.
Packetized data for any of the above protocols includes an internet link address, various format data used for hand shake and error correction, a port field used for routing requests at the receiving location, and one or more fields containing instructions, data or the like. Typically, a service request from a device 12 is received at an IO driver 18, for example an Ethernet driver, of control apparatus 14 and is stored in an appropriate buffer, for example a buffer 21 in memory 20. Memory 20 also stores certain first routines (section 26) which are run on processor 22 when a request is received to perform selected preliminary processing on the request and then to pass the request on for further processing in processor 22 under control of selected second routines. Buffering of the request, or portions thereof, may also occur during the processing under control of the second routines. Once the preprocessing under control of the first and second routines has been completed, an application appropriate for the request is selected from applications 24 stored in memory 20, there generally being an application 24 for each processing operation which may be required on an incoming request. For example, an application may merely store selected data from a request, for example sensor outputs, may process such data to put it in a selected format before storing, may process received data to obtain other information to be stored, or may process a request to obtain information to be returned, normally to the IA device 12 providing the request; however, this is not a limitation on the invention and in some applications information received for example from a sensor device may be utilized to control some other device, for example a servo motor, heater, flow valve or the like, at the same or a related location.
If the application generates a reply, the reply is normally processed in processor 22 under control of selected second routine(s), such processing generally also involving buffering steps, and is then processed under control of selected first routine(s) before being returned to driver 18 to be queued for transmission to the appropriate IA device 12 or other location. As indicated above, in even the fastest PCS, the above process takes at least one millisecond, and may take ten or more milliseconds in some commonly used systems, a turn-around time which is unacceptable for many hard real-time applications where response times in the submillisecond range are required. The following describes a technique for overcoming this limitation in an illustrative system.
In accordance with the teachings of this invention, certain ports in the port field of an Ethernet packet are selected and stored. When a request is received at apparatus 14 which has one of the stored codes in its port field, this request is routed for fast processing by bypassing the preprocessing and buffering performed in processor 22 by the second routines on both the incoming request and any reply and by assigning a higher priority to such requests, then other requests, thereby permitting such requests to have a turn-around time of 0.3 to 0.4 ms, or roughly one third to one thirtieth, the turn-around time required if such fast processing is not performed.
More specifically, the system stores a registration routine in routines section 26 of memory 20 which processor 22 may utilize to store a fast processing port number or code in port code table 28. Table 28 contains an entry for each port number/code for which fast processing is desired. Each entry in this table includes the appropriate port code, an address pointer to a location in portion 24 of memory where the application for processing a request containing the port code is stored and, where appropriate, one or more flag bits. For example, a multicast flag bit may be sent if fast processing is also to be permitted on multicast packets and a broadcast flag bit may be provided, this bit being set if broadcast packets are to be fast processed. If these bits are not set, then notwithstanding the fact that a request contains a port code stored in table 28, fast processing will not be performed on the request if it is a multicast or broadcast packet. For an illustrative embodiment, the register routine may return one of three messages to processor 22 upon completion of the routine. These returns are "success," meaning that the fast IP port number or code has been registered in table 28; "port already registered" meaning that the port number or code is already registered in table 28; or "table full" meaning that table 28 is full and unable to receive additional entries. The size of table 28 will vary with application and may, for example, be from 50 to 100 entries for an illustrative embodiment.
When a port number/code is no longer to be used by the system, processor 22 executes the "deregister" routine from section 26 of memory 20. This routine removes an entry from port code table 28. For an illustrative embodiment, on the completion of this routine, a message is returned to processor 22 which is either a "success" message, indicating that the entry has been removed from table 28, or a "port not registered" message, indicating that the port number or code was not found in table 28.
In accordance with the teachings of this invention, the first routines are modified to perform certain additional functions on incoming requests. In particular, the port number or code of each incoming request to driver 18 is compared against port codes stored in table 28. So long as no match is found, the incoming request is processed in the manner described above utilizing the first routines, the second routines and an appropriate application. However, when a matching code is found in the port field of an incoming request, the first routine accesses a pointer to a special processing structure 30 which is updated to contain information about the received packet. The information in this structure for an illustrative embodiment includes the following fields:
Field Name
Field Function
How Field Used
Request Port
Port Number of Request
Field is set to the port number of the
received packet
Reply Port
Set to Destination Port
Before the request is processed, the IO
driver circuit loads this field with the
port number where the reply is to be
sent, which is normally the port number
of the receive packet, but need not be.
Alternatively, if a reply is to be sent, the
application processing the request may
load this field with a destination port
number for the reply. Again, in most
cases this will be the source port number
of the request, but need not be.
Received Data
Contents of Data Portion
Pointer to data section of the incoming
of Received Packet
packet. This buffer is controlled by the
IO driver/processor. The application
does not write into this buffer after the
processing routine returns and the
contents of this buffer may change
immediately after the processing routine
returns. If the application needs to save
the contents of this buffer, a "pass up"
bit is set by the application in its return
so that the packet is passed to processor
22 for standard processing.
Received Length

The buffer containing this packet must

Reply Must be
Set if Reply Data Must be
This field is set if the contents of the
reply buffer must be copied to an
intermediate transmit buffer. The field
is set to zero if the buffer does not need
to be copied. The IO driver/processor
may use a DMA (direct memory access)
to transfer packets to be transmitted in
parallel with the operation of processor
22, it thus being possible for packets to
be transferred while other processes are
being run. Generally, if the contents of
the buffer are static, or if the contents
are always valid even while being
updated, then this field should be set to
zero for maximum performance. If it is
possible for the contents of the buffer to
be invalidated while the packet is being
DMA'd, then this field should be set.

may be set to null if not needed.

be passed to the IP Stack and can be
useful if the application needs to have
processing performed on the incoming
request packet beyond that which can be
performed by the fast processing
routine. If this bit is not set, the packet
is discarded after fast processing.
Once special processing structure 30 has been established for an entry, any additional preprocessing normally performed by the first routines are performed on the request, and the first routines then access the application at the pointer address indicated in port code table 28 for the port code of the request. Processor 22 gives priority to requests received directly from the first routines over requests being normally processed by apparatus 14.
As indicated earlier, the specific functions performed by the application during fast processing because of the limited preprocessing available and other limitations, are generally relatively simple functions required in IA and other fast hard real-time applications. Where a request requires processing beyond that which can be accomplished by the fast processing routines, enough of the processing is done by fast processing to satisfy response time requirements and subsequent normal processing is done on the request to update stored records and perform other operations which cannot be performed during the fast processing.
If the request processed by the application does not require a response, then once processing by the application is completed, further actions are normally not required. However, if the application involves the generation of a response to the request, the second routines normally performed on such responses are bypassed. Instead, the application completes appropriate fields in structure 30 for the reply. In particular:
Reply Port
Set to destination port number of reply
Reply Data
Set to beginning of data section containing
Reply Link
Set to link of data portion of reply packet
Reply Must Be Copied
Set if reply packet must be copied to
intermediate buffer
Loaded with address of routine to call if
unable to send reply
If the SEND REPLY bit is set, the application branches to an appropriate first routine, bypassing second routines normally performed on a reply, the selected first routines entering the reply packet into a transmit queue and a data block to hold the packet header. If the REPLY MUST BE COPIED is set, then the routine also allocates a data block large enough to hold the reply data. For an illustrative embodiment, if the routine is unable to allocate the buffers, then the attempt to transmit the reply is aborted. However this is not a limitation on the invention. If FAILURE is not null, then the appropriate failure routine may be called at this time. The selected first routine also creates an Ethernet and other header for the protocol utilized utilizing information in the incoming packet and the information stored in structure 30. If REPLY MUST BE COPIED is set, then the data portion of the reply is copied to the previously allocated buffer. Finally, the buffers are chained together and placed in the transmit queue.
When all processing on a given request has been completed, including processing of a reply where appropriate, the PASS UP field for the request in structure 30 is queried. If this field is not set, the request is discarded. If this field is set, the incoming request is passed to the second routines and is processed as a normal request. This would be done where the rapid response required for an IA or other hard real-time application is required for at least some portion of the request, but the request also involves storing and updating information at apparatus 14 or performing other operations requiring the preprocessing steps of the second routines which steps are not performed during fast processing operation.
The fast processing routines may also include various error reporting routines which are called up in the event the IO driver/processor is unable to process an incoming request and/or to send a reply package. The error reporting function may be nulled so that errors are not reported.
While the procedure described above results in significantly reduced turnaround time for certain hard real time and other applications where fast turnaround time is required, there are applications where the invention may provide even faster turnaround time. In particular, there are applications where the incoming message is merely an indication that the IA device requires a selected type of data. For example, a robotics device may need a sensor reading, or may need a position parameter determined for the device by processor 22 in response to previously received readings. Such requests can be handled very quickly by modifying the port code table so that the address pointer for selected port codes, instead of storing an address for an application to be run, store an address for a data buffer 21 which contains the data being requested. This data is generated and stored prior to the receipt of the request so that when a request comes in, the most recent responsive data is available. Entries of this type are made in the port code table by the register routine in the same manner previously described.
When a request having one of these port numbers is received, the data at the indicated buffer is accessed and used as the data portion of a reply data packet, the information for the remaining fields of the reply packet being obtained from the incoming message. This reply packet is then entered into the transmit queue of I/O driver 18 to be transmitted to the appropriate device 12. Since these responses do not involve full use of first routines nor do they involve applications or second routines, very fast turnaround times can be obtained.
While in the discussion above it has been assumed that all operations are performed by a general purpose processor 22 under program control, this is not a limitation on the invention, and various ones of the functions may be performed by hard wired circuitry in conjunction with a programmed processor. Further, while it is assumed above that all operations are performed in a single processor 22, a separate preprocessor may be provided for performing selected ones of the routines 26, for example the first routines, or all of the routines 26, with applications and other functions being provided by a processor such as processor 22. Other variations on the embodiment shown are also possible. Thus, while the invention has been particularly shown and described above with reference to an illustrative embodiment, the foregoing and other changes in form and detail may be made therein by one skilled in the art while still remaining within the spirit and scope of the invention which is to be defined only by the appended claims.

Irish Priests Vow to Disobey New Child Sex Abuse Confession Law
Irish priests say they will disobey a new law requiring them to report details of child sexual abuse revealed during confessions.
According to IrishCentral, Justice Minister Alan Shatter is set to introduce the legislation, which requires clergy to alert authorities to whatever information regarding child sexual abuse that was revealed in confessionals. Violators could face up to 10 years behind bars.
Still, many Irish priests say they won't comply with the new law. The Association of Catholic Priests, which numbers some 800 clergy members, has publicly vowed to break the law.
"I certainly wouldn't be willing to break the seal of confession for anyone– Alan Shatter particularly," Fr. Sean McDonagh, spokesman for the Association, told the Irish Independent.
"The seal of the confessional is inviolable as far as I am concerned, and that's the end of the matter," Raymond Field, Auxiliary Bishop of Dublin, added.
The Irish Catholic Church's flippant dismissal of a law designed to help protect children from rape and other sexual abuse by clergy, as well as to bring perpetrators to justice, is very telling. Apparently adherence to supernatural dogma is more important to the Church than preventing children from being raped by its members.
Child rape by Catholic clergy has been a huge problem in Ireland. Almost as shameful has been the manner in which the Vatican and the Irish Church have attempted to cover up the epidemic of abuse, and the fact that child rape continues.
Speaking of the Irish clergy's vow to disobey the new law, Minister Shatter said: "I would expect that if there was someone going to confession who was a serial sex abuser, I don't know how anyone could live with their conscience if they didn't refer that to the gardai (police)."
But plenty of Irish clergy– not to mention Vatican officials– have indeed lived with their consciences, and continued raping children and covering it up. All the laws in the world, it seems, won't eradicate the vile scourge of child rape, a heinous crime that, if committed by members of any other organization, would surely result in life prison sentences for the perpetrators.

Letters To The Editor
When Mandela came to power, about 80 percent of the population was black (nearly 90 percent if you add the "coloreds" to the "Africans"). He did not advocate vengeance or violence against the ten percent of his countrymen who were white (or the two percent who were Jewish).
His eschewing revenge in this context was truly heroic – almost biblical – by the standards of history.

Stocks sold off for the second consecutive day. Today's catalysts were the ADP private sector employment report, which was a bit light, and a continued reaction to the news there isn't likely to be a third round of quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve. Europe also reared its head again as a concern as Spain's bond auction was tepidly received. Whether this two-day drop is a momentary blip or a change in sentiment that will usher in the spring-summer pullback we are expecting isn't clear yet, but we would approach stocks more carefully in the short term.
The Wind Energy Stocks Index was the top performing tickerspy Index on the day, led by Cleantech Solutions (Nasdaq: CLNT - News) with a 158% gain. The South Africa Stocks and ADRs Index was the day's worst performing tickerspy Index, with Gold Fields (NYSE: GFI - News) down -6%.
Stocks fell for a second straight day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed -125 points to end at 13,075, the S&P 500 was off by -14 points to 1,399, while the Nasdaq dropped -45 points to finish at 3,068. Crude oil also fell by -$2.54 per barrel to $101.47 and gold plunged -$57.90 to $1,614.10 per ounce.
In economic news, the ADP private sector payroll report showed employers added 209,000 jobs in March, down from a revised 230,000 jobs in February. Analysts expected the March ADP number to show the addition of 217,000 new jobs.

The Un-Convention: When Hackers Attack, Resistance Is Futile
Forget August's approaching elephants. The real giants are in midtown next week for the hackers' ball, a two-day warm-up of resistance and intrigue in the weirdly gigantic Pennsylvania Hotel. Keynote speakers include Apple's Steve "Woz" Wozniak, the original phone-freaker; Kevin Mitnick, convicted celebrity hacker; and Jello Biafra, originally Eric Boucher, of Boulder, Colorado. "The Fifth Hope," thrown by the folks at 2600: The Hacker Quarterly, features workshops that are lightly naughty ("Mischief and Mayhem at the RNC") and potentially felonious ("Lockpicking," described as "a popular sport/hobby among hackers throughout the world"). Emmanuel Goldstein (a/k/a Eric Corley), the editor of 2600, has thrown five of these conferences since 1994, and says they celebrate the "spirit of figuring things out." He adds that the gatherings draw feds, teenagers, and corporate spies. And readers of his magazine:
"Dear 2600: As a member of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and a faithful reader of your fine publication . . . I would not expect the DHS to secretly set up shop in your neighborhood anytime soon. Chances are they would just utilize what is already in place." ZeroSpam
"Dear 2600: I went to the Buffalo meeting this month that's supposed to be at the Food Court over at the Galleria Mall (which is actually in Cheektowaga). Nobody was there . . . Kaosaur

Healthy Interchangeable Cookies
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 12 mins
Update 9/14/2011: I have sense been diagnosed with Celiac Disease so tried the cookie using different gluten free flour mixes with great results and have altered other parts of the recipe. I have used 1 cup of Pamela's Gluten Free Bread Mix and 1 cup of Bob Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour. This is a great starter recipe for any cookie. Whether you want a chocolate chip, peanut butter, chocolate mint, or oatmeal raisin cookie, have fun with it and put whatever extra�s you feel like. The first 9 ingredients are the base for the cookie. For a more cake like cookie only add ½ cup of rolled oats or leave out the oats and add ½ cup more flour.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups wheat flour or 2 cups gluten free all purpose baking flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 cup applesauce
- 1⁄3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar or 1⁄4 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1⁄4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup old fashioned oats or 1 cup granola cereal
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 3⁄4 cup flavored chips, chocolate chips, mint-chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, CHOOSE ONE
- 1⁄4 cup peanut butter (optional)
- 1⁄4 cup raisins (optional)
- Pre-heat oven at 350 degrees.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Whisk together applesauce and sugar, in large bowl.
- Whisk in egg and vanilla until smooth.
- Stir in dry ingredients until blended.
- Fold in oats and any additional options to make it the cookie of your choice.
- Shape dough into balls and place on baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Press each ball of dough into a patty.
- Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until desired brownness.
Most Helpful
Very yummy!!! I agree with another comment that it's more like a scone than a cookie. I didn't use peanut butter. I had a wonderful granola mix that has dark chocolate and dried raspberries, so I added just a little bit of the peanut butter chips. The smell and taste are amazing! Definitely will change this up and try different things. My mix was not dry at all; I did use agave-not sure if that makes a difference.
Tasty and healthy cookie! I didn't use the optional peanut butter or raisins and I did use the optional cinnamon, which I thought was a great addition. My dough was pretty dry so I had to moisten my hands with water to be able to form the cookies; you definitely have to flatten them as they don't spread out on their own. The texture of these was more like a scone than a cookie, but the taste was still good. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2011
My daughter and I absolutely loved making these cookies! And what's more, is that the whole family wolfed 'em down and were shocked to learn that these cookies had low sugar (I used splenda and splenda brown sugar in them) and that no butter or fats were included besides those found in the chocolate chips themselves! But the ingredients were really healthy and wholesome and something I'd feed the family again for a dessert or treat. The dough was very tough to turn with a spoon, so the next time I'll use the kitchen aid. I also added one more egg as the dough seemed too dry when I first mixed all the ingredients. Other than that, I look forward to trying the other versions you mentioned, as this was in-fact a "interchangeable Cookie Recipe" Hope you like the pictures we took!

The subtle colors that are present in our Hand Scraped Amaretto Birch flooring would make a beautiful addition to any home, bringing out the natural accents in crème or tan furnishings. The tongue and groove construction makes for an air tight floor which is sure to withstand many activities. Having a hand scraped design on the wood lends to a more natural wood look and helps resist the signs of wear and tear. Acting as a resistant, the 9 coats of aluminum oxide fight off blemishes as well as adding a beautiful glow to the surface. The Amaretto stain on the birch flooring brings a unique touch to any room in the house and surely makes a statement of elegance.
This is a real wood
engineered flooring
product made from birch.
It has a beautiful amaretto stain with hand scraped planks that are finished in 9 coats of aluminum oxide.
The planks have a tongue & groove construction that can be floated, glued or nailed down.
Tongue and groove is the type of joint construction on wood flooring planks that allow them to easily fit together. One side of the plank has a projection called the tongue while the other side has a groove to match. The panels are laid flat with each tongue fitting into the groove next to it. This allows the planks to interlock seamlessly across the floor.
The tongue and groove is can be installed in either a glue down, nail down or floating method. If floating tongue and groove, a seam glue is used to adhere the tongue and groove together.
Engineered hardwood planks are essentially a sandwich consisting of a specific species of wood on top (generally 1/16" - 1/8") with a high quality plywood core or high-density fiberboard bottom (HDF). They often come in a click and lock or tongue and groove construction that can be easily floated over your subfloor as well as glued or nailed down. Engineered floors need about 2-3 days to acclimate in the room/home prior to being installed.
Both types of flooring have their pros and cons, so we always recommend speaking with one of our flooring professionals first to determine what fits your needs and style best.
Engineered can be installed both above or below grade as engineered flooring is less susceptible to moisture and expansion, versus solid wood floors which can only be installed above grade as they are one solid piece of wood and can only sustain a certain amount of moisture before expansion and movement becomes an issue. Another benefit to Engineered hardwood is they can be installed in almost any fashion. You can glue or nail both engineered and solid hardwood flooring when it comes time for installation, but you can also float engineered floor over most subfloors (as we discuss later a very DIY friendly and cost effective form of installation). This is because engineered floors often come in a click and lock or tongue and groove construction which allow for easy installation and locking.
Solid floors take more time to acclimate as well, which if time is an issue for installation, becomes an important factor. Engineered hardwood takes about 2-3 days of acclimation in your home prior to installation whereas solid is 2-3 weeks.
One of the most popular finishes today, Aluminum Oxide (Urethane) finishes are considered the most durable. Urethane coating creates a plastic-like shield that is extremely scratch resistant. Everyday wear or damage is generally contained to the finish and rarely to the wood underneath. Though often considered a little harder to repair than Oil finished floors, Aluminum Oxide finished hardwoods are some of the most durable and life-proof floors you can buy.
Floating floor installation can be done on almost any sub floor (wood, OSB, concrete, or even existing floors). The term floating refers to the fact that the planks do not need to be nailed or glued down. Floors that can be floated come in a click and lock or a tongue and groove construction. You need to purchase a wood seam glue that will resist moisture and hold the flooring together. A protective pad or underlayment is generally place underneath a floating floor to limit the transmission of sound when walking and as a protectant against moisture.
Glue-down installation process is when the floor is glued to the subfloor using a special flooring adhesive. From a do-it-yourself standpoint, this is generally considered the hardest of the installations and requires a high skill level. As with with nail down, it is best to have a professional installation crew execute this if you decide to go this route for installing your floors. There are many types of glue that can be used but it is important to get a high quality, waterproof flooring adhesive.
Nail down installation is the process of securing the floor to the subfloor with either nails, staples, or flooring cleats. This method requires significant equipment and a professional installer is generally recommended for these types of installs.
I thought I would have to go to a big box store to afford engineered wood flooring for my new home, but I stopped by Hardwood Bargains out of curiosity. I discovered a terrific selection that blew the big box stores away. The quality was higher. Plus, I had no trouble finding several options that cost less than I expected! Guy helped me choose without any sales pressure. He was knowledgeable about flooring options and how each would hold up to my circumstances. The installers arrived the day after I made my selection. They were true professionals who did a beautiful job and left the job site clean. I'm a raving fan of Hardwood Bargains!
