The Ancient Greeks and How They Played the Games
By BERNARD KNOX
Published: August 8, 2004
As the Greeks rushed frantically to complete preparations for the 2004 Olympic Games, which open this week -- hoisting the roof over the stadium, paving the road from Marathon to Athens for the race -- inevitably a number of books on the ancient Games appeared. Two of the most authoritative are ''The Ancient Olympics,'' by Nigel Spivey, and ''Ancient Greek Athletics,'' by Stephen G. Miller. Spivey, a classicist at Cambridge University who in his student days was a notable athlete, in addition to dealing in detail with the Games discusses the centrality of athletics in ancient Greek life. Miller, a classical archaeologist at the University of California, Berkeley, covers all four of the great athletic festivals: the Olympian, Pythian (at Delphi), Isthmian (Corinth) and Nemean (Argos), as well as the Panathenaea at Athens. Miller also discusses -- at greater length and in fuller detail than Spivey -- the competitive culture and athletic institutions of the Greek city-state. Both volumes are illustrated by statues, vase paintings and archaeological sites -- Spivey's with 40 black-and-white and Miller's with 291, including many in color. It must be said that the small photographs in Miller, of black-figure vases, can be hard on the eyes.
The oldest and most prestigious of the four ''stephanitic'' festivals was at Olympia. In Greek, stephanos means ''crown''; stephanitic refers to the prize awarded to the winner of each event. At Olympia it was a garland of wild olive, at Delphi of bay leaves, at Nemea of fresh celery and at the Isthmus of dry celery. These contrast startlingly with prizes given at the quadrennial Greater Panathenaea, where lavish awards were given not only to the winner but to the next four runners-up. The winner of the boys' footrace received, Miller calculates, great jars containing 1,944 liters of olive oil. And that was only one of the huge prizes awarded at this festival.
The winners at the stephanitic festivals had more than crowns as rewards. In triumphant welcomes at their return home they were deluged with honors and privileges -- possibly free meals for the rest of their lives, statues commissioned by their cities or families to be set up at Olympia, a victory ode composed by Pindar or Bacchylides and performed by a chorus in their cities, like Pindar's ode for the winner of the boys' Olympic footrace in 460 B.C.:
Now for Alkimedon: blessed with victory
at Olympia, by the slopes of Kronos.
On first sight he was splendid; sure
he proved his beauty in the test.
Triumphant from each bout
he put his homeland on the herald's lips -
'Aegina of the long oars!'
In another ode Pindar describes the homecoming of an unsuccessful athlete: ''the loser's hateful return, the jeering voices, the furtive back alleys.''
As Spivey points out, these attitudes have little to do with our idea of ''sport,'' a judgment echoed by Miller: ''Athletics was not simply about competition; it concerned winning a prize. Sport for sport's sake was not an ancient concept.'' Spivey cites George Orwell's judgment on sports, occasioned by fights on the field and riots in the crowd that marred the 1945 visit of a Soviet soccer team to England: ''War minus the shooting.'' Spivey's formulation is that in classical antiquity ''there was an acceptance, at both popular and philosophical levels, of a prime imaginative and imitative purpose in play; an understanding, essentially, that all games were war games.''
But this understanding was not confined to competitive athletics. In the gymnasiums, especially at Athens, young men were trained from boyhood in athletics and at 18 they were assigned to military duty on the frontiers of Attica for two years. Such regular exercise was not for the young alone; as Spivey says, going to the gym was ''a civic duty.'' Every Athenian citizen under 60 was liable to be called up for military service, as an armored hoplite wielding a spear or as a marine or oarsman in Athens' navy. Maintenance of physical fitness was not only a civic duty; it was a necessity for self-preservation.
In the gymnasium you were gymnos, naked; it was the locale for that homoerotic sheen that suffuses the Platonic dialogues, the site of those sexual contacts between an adult man and a youth so often depicted in vase paintings. But these connections were educational as well as sexual; the man taught the youth his duty to the community, his proper conduct as a man. It was no accident, as Spivey points out, that Plato's philosophical school was located next to a gymnasium called the Academy and Aristotle's next to one called the Lyceum.
But the gymnasium also trained athletes who competed at the great festivals, where they would find a rich variety of events: three runs of various lengths, the long jump, wrestling, discus throwing, spear throwing and the pentathlon, a combination of all five of those competitions. Two other events were especially violent: boxing, for which the fighters wore not gloves but tightly wrapped leather thongs, and the pankration (''total force'' or ''no holds barred''), in which the only tactics forbidden were biting and eye-gouging. Judges equipped with whips supervised this combat; there were no timed bouts, just a fight to the finish -- a hand signal of surrender. The most dangerous contest was the chariot race. Drivers were hired professionals; the prize went to the wealthy person paying the heavy expenses. In 416 B.C. Alcibiades, a brilliant but unreliable Athenian aristocrat, entered seven chariots in the Olympics and took first, second and fourth prizes, winning, as he claimed, glory for his city, but also popularity and prestige for himself.

The Pantheon, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps… when that list just touches on some of Rome's treasures, is it any wonder that Italy contains the most World Heritage sites of any nation on Earth?
Rome attracts millions of tourists each year, supplementing a growing expat population, people from all over the world, who have dreams of riding scooters, eating gelato and falling in love in one of Europe's most iconic cities. Whether you want to be in the heart of the action or would rather escape to a local neighbourhood, Italy's capital has plenty of places on offer to make your Roman dreams come true.
For first-time visitors to Rome, the Centro Storico – Historic Centre – is a good area to be based. Home to the Pantheon and the splendours of Piazza Navona, this is the Rome of your imaginings. All the major sights, including the Spanish Steps, the Colosseum and the bustling Campo de' Fiori market are within walking distance. It is a veritable warren of streets, filled with baroque and renaissance palaces, churches, antiques shops and cafes. As you might expect, this area is the main draw for tourists, so it can be incredibly crowded and budget hotels are like gold dust. However there are a few cheaper options outside of peak season, and nowhere can match it for historic atmosphere.
Located on the other side of the Tiber River, Trastavere was, for a long time, a simple, working-class district that barely attracted other Romans, let alone visitors. Now though, thanks to an expat population studying at the two American universities and a period of gentrification, it attracts a great deal more tourism. It is still a slightly less frantic experience than the Centro Storico, and it easily has the better restaurants. It boasts plenty of beautiful churches of its own, and accommodation here can be found for a fraction of the price compared to the Centro Storico, with double rooms starting from around €30.
This district, named for two hills, is located to the south of the Colusseum area. Aventino is one of the Seven Hills of Rome, while Testaccio is a man-made hill, formed by piles and piles of discarded Roman terracotta. Nowadays, this is very much a local neighbourhood, with traditional restaurants attracting local clients rather than tourists, so it's a great place to escape the crowds. The hilltop position gives wonderful views across Rome. The Keyhole View, on the Aventine Hill, offers a particularly beautiful view of the Vatican. It's easily accessible: 20 minutes on foot to Campo de' Fiori, or you can hop on the 271 bus from Piramide to get right into the Centro Storico. There is a range of guest houses and hotels to suit different budgets.
While there aren't any places to stay within the Vatican City itself, unless you happen to be a close personal friend of the Pope, the tiny state (it measures just 0.5km square) is surrounded by hotels and B&Bs. Whether you're planning a trip focussed on the Vatican, or you just want a convenient central location, this area fits the bill. The Centro Storico is just across the river, an easy 15-minute walk, and there is plenty of accommodation to suit every budget.
x The average starting price for a place to stay in Rome is £59 per night.
hanley6 We cannot recommend this guesthouse highly enough, the facilities and location are excellent, Ivan and Antonella could not have been more helpfull. My family and I loved it and would definatly stay there again if we were in Rome.
shisanmei A nice high room in an old-fashioned comparably quiet house, cool inspite of the hot sun outside, very close to the Vatican and its museums and archives, and a bit away from loud downtown. I only would have preferred a better desk to work with the notebook and a better light for that purpose (but that is a problem of many hotels and rooms...).

hideaki Every time, they help me about the sightseeing in Rome. It was first time for me to visited Rome but he always gave me many valuable informations and always kindness for me. If you have any questions, they help you anytime. The location is about 15 to 20 min from Termini sta. and buses are very useful not only for Termini but to the center of the city. If I have chance to go, I would chose Agnes B&B again anyway. Thanks.

ccoliver The appartment is simply and attractively decorated. It's well situated with easy walking access to all the major sites in Rome. The service was excellent. Monica went out of her way to ensure we had a happy stay in Rome. Breakfast was enormous and delicious. The appartment was secure and very comfortable. We would definitely recommend it to others. We were there with four children but it would suit adults and small groups as well.
JN18 Great welcome and friendly service. Lots of good advice and recommendations and help using the internet to book onward journey. Good location close to the Vatican but a little further out from all the other sites, although they are easily walkable or accessible using the hop-on hop-off buses or trains. Clean rooms but they were a little bit dark. Very good budget option in Rome though and would recommend to other travellers.

The property is easy to locate, on a quiet street, it's clean and comfortable. Excellent location if you're going to Stadio Olimpico or the Vatican; 5-minute walk from Ottaviano Metro stop. There's even an Irish pub just a block away if you want to go out for a few drinks. We will definitely stay there again!

Campaigns for Hillary Clinton and John Edwards have also contacted BlackPlanet publisher Community Connect about setting up profiles.
Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama would probably rather not have ads promoting "Asian Girl Photos" on his AsianAve.com profile. That's one reason his campaign worked directly with the Asian social network site's publisher to ensure a potential reputation damaging situation like that doesn't occur.
Though Community Connect VP of Marketing Kay Madati thinks it's good idea for political campaigns to create profiles on the site without the company's consultation, he understands why they might not want to.
"They don't want to be seen as endorsing a specific product," he said. "If I'm running the online media department at one of these campaigns... I realize I can't manage some of the content on my profile on my own."
On profile pages set up for Obama '08 on Community Connect's niche ethnic and interest group social sites, house banner ads push the publisher's own offerings such as BlackPlanet Music or MiGente Music. The publisher can also limit the types of ads that run on a brand's profile page by blocking advertising from a direct competitor, for instance.
Since the Obama campaign launched profile pages on Community Connect's sites a couple weeks ago, the campaigns of top Democratic opponents Hillary Clinton and John Edwards have also contacted the publisher about setting up profiles, sans potentially-inappropriate ads, according to Madati.
"Edwards has reached out and we're speaking with the Hillary campaign today," he said. "The Obama people are moving so aggressively... I think it prompted the other campaigns to pay attention," added Madati.
In addition to its African-American-aimed crown jewel BlackPlanet.com, Community Connect publishes AsianAve.com, gay community network Glee.com, Latino-focused MiGente.com and the recently-launched Christian networking site FaithBase.com, all of which feature an official Obama profile.
To help build momentum for the campaign's efforts, Community Connect has been running homepage display ads to drive traffic to the Obama profile pages if those spots haven't been sold already. The publisher also sent out e-mail alerts to community members notifying them about the official Obama presence. As for a full-fledged paid ad campaign on the network's sites, Madati expects that will come in time.
The Obama campaign has lightly tailored profiles and blog posts it's added to the social sites. For instance, Obama's Glee.com profile includes a post about National Coming Out Day, while his MiGente page touts the endorsement of his energy plan by former U.S. Secretary of Energy Federico Pena. The candidate's profiles on AsianAve.com, MiGente and BlackPlanet.com spotlight education and family issues, while statements on Glee.com highlight environmental issues. FaithBase.com and AsianAve.com note Obama's thoughts on faith and politics.
Candidates or other advertisers "shouldn't think about setting up profiles on our sites as re-tasking general marketing content," said Madati.
Despite some customization to appeal to each group, the candidate's main "personal message" on all the sites is the same, noting, "I was fortunate to be able to grow up seeing America from varied viewpoints."
Obama '08 spokesperson Jen Psaki stressed the Community Connect profiles and others on social sites like MySpace and Facebook are mere components of a broad campaign strategy. "We will continue to update and change issues," featured in the profiles, she said.

Walk around the Port
Lazy stroll today around to the old Roman port of Formia.
Again, testament to the building skills of the Romans, the port still remains today and would have been a lovely spot to head out for your fishing trips. It is now in a protected zone but as with most of Italy's ancient remains, is fully accessible to all.
The port is on a walk that loops around the headland and also goes up to an old water storage tank, again in a good state of preservation with views out to sea.

A field of the invention is wireless networks.
Wireless networks have many advantages, and continue to become more popular. A basic problem in wireless networks is the limited resources available for communications between nodes in the networks. Packet transmission must overcome problems inherent to wireless communications. Noise, distance, frequency allocations, and conflicts between nodes are some problems faced in wireless networks. In addition, power resources are considered scarce and critical for mobile wireless nodes.
Accordingly, the standards that have developed for wireless network communications must provide a communication scheme that is reliable and efficient in view of the limitations imposed by the communication medium and other resources. Bluetooth is an example scheme. In Bluetooth, a master node controls communications among a group including the master and a set of slaves. In Bluetooth, the master acts as a relay for all network communications, and schedules communications to avoid conflicts, e.g., more than one source node are addressing the same destination node.
Other communication standards and techniques in wireless networks also have limitations. There remains a need for an improved wireless network scheduling method and system. The invention is directed to this need.
In embodiments of the invention, direct communication between wireless nodes, which may be mobile or fixed or a mixture of mobile and fixed nodes, is permitted under a limitation that each node, for any given transmission period, is permitted to act in half-duplex mode, meaning that in that period it can act as one of a transmitter or receiver, but it cannot both transmit and receive in the same communication period. The nodes communicate according to a schedule provided to them, for example by a broadcast after a poll of nodes is conducted. The scheduling of transmissions in preferred embodiments is conducted by contention resolution.
In a preferred network, a node acts as a master node. The master then, considering its own needs as well, determines a schedule for one transmission period or multiple transmission periods, applying the limitation that in any given period, each node is permitted to act as either a transmitter or receiver. The schedule is provided to the slave nodes, for example by a broadcast. The slave nodes (and the master) then communicate directly according to the schedule received by slaves from the master.
A preferred network of the invention includes a master node. The master node gathers information about the needs of slave nodes for scheduling transmissions. The master then, considering its own needs as well, determines a schedule for one transmission period or multiple transmission periods, applying the limitation that in any given period, each node is permitted to act as either a transmitter or receiver. The schedule is provided to the slave nodes, for example by a broadcast. The slave nodes (and the master) then communicate directly according to the schedule received by slaves from the master. Communications do not proceed through the master. In a certain embodiment, a master recognizes a very low traffic period, and conducts an expedited communication. In a certain embodiment, the master may also apply fairness guarantees to all nodes, for example, during times of high levels of communication. Other guarantees maybe provided in certain embodiments. For example, a maximum delay per packet for each source-destination flow may be guaranteed.
Embodiments of the invention are directed to ad-hoc networks, which may include two or more mobile nodes. An ad-hoc network may be defined as an autonomous system of nodes. The system may or may not connect to a fixed network such as the Internet. The need for these networks or autonomous systems is implicit in the name, and many special situations and specific applications require these networks. For example, industrial cooperative data exchange, nomadic computing, �wearable� computing, IP-compliant services for mobile nodes, and fire/safety/rescue operations communications may make use of mobile ad-hoc networks. These few example uses are non-exhaustive of the current uses for such networks, and their futures uses will increase beyond the present uses. This has lead to the development of communication standards and regulations for the networks. Bluetooth is an example communication standard that is now commercially popular and is finding its way into many devices. A particular type of ad-hoc network is the personal area network (PAN).
Preferred embodiments of the invention include single-hop networks. Such networks, in accordance with above and below embodiments, for example, have a master provide a schedule where each node directly communicates with its respective transmitter or respective receiver. In other embodiments of the invention, multi-hops are permitted, for example in the case where certain nodes are unable to communicate directly. The half-duplex limitation in this instance means that a node serving as a relay is incapable of being a source and destination node during the communication period during which it is acting as a relay. In an embodiment, two slots may be provided for a relay node. During a first slot it receives, meeting the half duplex limitation. During a second slot it transmits (relays) meeting the half duplex limitation. The master may make determinations as to when multi-hops are required based upon knowledge of the network. In addition, a master node may, in response to a failure of a single hop communication, designate a retry through a multi-hop. In other embodiments, distributed algorithms maybe used to establish multiple independent single-hop networks which could join together to form a multi-hop network.
Preferred methods and systems of the invention impose a half-duplex limitation on wireless node communications. Wireless nodes maintain queues of packets for transmission. Wireless nodes transmit information about their queues and intended destinations of their transmissions to a master node. Based upon received information about the queues and intended destinations, the master node creates a scheduling problem, treating nodes in the network in a fashion similar to the manner of a switch fabric in a packet switch, such as an asynchronous transfer mode switch. The master node will then send a schedule, mimicking a switching decision, to nodes. In the schedule, each node (depending upon its status in a particular communication slot as a transmitter or receiver) is treated as if it were one of an input port or an output port in a cross bar switch. In embodiments of the invention, quality of service, conflict resolution, fairness techniques, etc. from switching may be applied to wireless network communications, for example, in a personal area network. A preferred method and system is a modified Bluetooth network.
A master node in some embodiments of the invention communicates with slave nodes on a designated frequency (or channels), with other frequencies (or channels) available for scheduled data transmissions. In other embodiments of the invention, the master communicates in a shared channel, for example, a CDMA (code division multiple access) system may be implemented.
In a method of the invention, slaves communicate requests to a master. The master computes a conflict-free matching between requesting transmitters and receivers. The schedule limits each node to either a transmitter or receiver for each time slot. The master then conveys the schedule to nodes that are scheduled, or to all nodes. Additional features of the invention will be apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments and the referenced drawings.
One of the nodes 12 acts as a master node and performs the scheduling in the network 10. The master node collects, via a control channel, global network information. The master node determines a schedule using, for example, a slotted system and a matching algorithm to match transmitters to their intended receivers. There is no need for a transmitter to transmit to the receiver on the same node. Therefore, the possibility of a transmitter sending to the receiver on the same node is disallowed.
The resulting system of N transmitters and N receivers, with exactly one transceiver on each node, along with the wireless channel, can be modeled as a special case of an N�N switch. The N transmitters can be thought of as N input ports and the N receivers as N output ports. The centralized scheduler (master) node is modeled as the arbiter or scheduler of the switch, while the wireless channel is modeled as the switching-fabric (or cross bar). In a preferred embodiment, the model assumes that each node's transmission can reach any of the other nodes including the master. It is also assumed that enough distinct channels (frequencies) are available in each scheduling opportunity and that each transmitter and each receiver can tune in to any of these frequencies. In other embodiments, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system may be used to provide separate channels. Each node 12 includes a queue 20, which may logically or physically include multiple queues. The node transmits (from its queues) only when granted by the central scheduler on a specified frequency or code. The queue 20 is preferably arranged as a set of virtual queues, with a separate virtual queue for each destination node.
In an example embodiment, the central scheduler determines the distribution of frequencies or codes and provides the schedule, during a granting phase, to the nodes having requested, during a polling phase, to act as transmitters. In this embodiment, the schedule model can be represented by the bipartite graph depicted in
The graph of
The arbitration delay in preferred embodiments is bounded for any half-duplex constrained matching schedule under certain conditions. For there to be a delay bound either the transmitter is assumed to be able to transmit s times (a speed up parameter similar to that found in the art of cross bar switches) faster than the desired aggregate speed (bps) or the aggregate throughput of the transmitter is 1/s the throughput of a full dedicated channel of capacity. For the half-duplex networks of the invention the speed up parameter is >4. A further reduction in the speed up parameter may be achieved at the expense of guaranteed throughput. Generally, this can be realized because it may not be necessary to achieve full throughput at each transmitter. For example, it is possible to reduce the throughput of each transmitter to ⅛ of full throughput, and at this throughput no speedup is required at all (s=1) to achieve a delay bound. This is not a large reduction in throughput when compared to the throughput achieved by a transmitter in a typical (equivalent) Bluetooth piconet. In a typical (heavily loaded) Bluetooth piconet, the half-duplex condition of each node reduces the maximum attainable throughput by any transmitter to at most half the full capacity of the transmitter. If there are seven active slaves in the piconet, the maximum attainable throughput of each transmitter reduces further to much less than ⅛, considering the master overhead. In a conventional Bluetooth network, throughput is more severely limited because there is only one channel (in a single time-slot) and traffic must be relayed through the master.
Embodiments of the invention use a dedicated control channel in parallel with a data channel. The control channel is used to conduct polling and to transmit (in the case of a master) or receive the schedule. The control channel may be a parallel control channel or may be an in-band control channel. For the matching implemented in a network of the invention to work, communications between the nodes and the master are necessary. In an embodiment of the invention, this is achieved with a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol. A suitable MAC protocol may be based on the well known approach of using a limited period of contention resolution followed by contention-free period in which sources that won during the contention period are guaranteed to transmit.
Other embodiments of the invention implement a control channel by a polling conducted by the scheduling (master) node. A particular embodiment using the polling is a modified Bluetooth network, and this embodiment will now be discussed in detail as an example.
Consider an established Bluetooth piconet with K slaves and N=K+1 nodes, including a master node. According to the Bluetooth specification, the communication channel is defined as a pseudo-random hopping-sequence determined by the Master's ID and clock. Assume that each node in the piconet (active or non-active) is uniquely identified by a 1-byte address, where an all-zeros 8-bit address identifies the master. This accommodates a large piconet, suitable for many uses. The 1-byte identifier extends the maximum allowable number of active slaves in a piconet beyond 7. In other embodiments, where the application of the piconet does not require the number of active slaves to exceed 7, the 3-bit Active Member Address of Bluetooth, AM_ADDR, may be used instead.
The basic task is to look ahead in the channel hopping-sequence (known to all members of the piconet) and use a different hop-frequency for each pair of nodes that want to communicate with each other during the next time-slot. To do that without collisions, a centralized algorithm is needed to assign different frequencies from the channel hopping-sequence to different communicating pairs. The master is still the centralized node that performs this centralized algorithm, however, in this invention (and different from the current standard Bluetooth specification) the traffic does not need to be relayed by the master. During each Bluetooth time-slot, each two communicating nodes are matched directly to each other using a distinct hop-frequency. The master implements an algorithm to assign hop-frequencies to all communicating pairs in the piconet without collision. By permitting multiple pairs to communicate during the same time-slot in parallel, a gain in the overall throughput of the piconet is achieved.
In order to match communicating nodes without collision, the preferred embodiment uses three basic steps in the following order. First, the slaves communicate to the master their requests, which could be, for example, the destination nodes of their transmissions and the size of their queues for each of those destinations. Second, the master computes a conflict-free half-duplex constrained matching between requesting transmitters and their intended receivers. Third, the master conveys the computed schedule to all slaves (not only the requesting slaves). The schedule could be computed for the next Bluetooth time-slot or for the next several time-slots. The three basic steps of the preferred embodiment can be implemented in many different ways.
The required communications in the first and third steps represent a communication overhead of scheduling. To minimize this overhead and to easily support time-sensitive data, a preferred embodiment uses polling to implement the first step and a broadcast scheme (by the master) to implement the third step. The second step is preferably implemented using either a maximum or a maximal matching.
The basic 3-step algorithm repeats every F time-slots, where F, the frame-length, is variable. First, the master polls the slaves. Assume that P time-slots are used for polling. Typically P=1, however, an embodiment sets 1≦P≦3. Second, the slaves respond. The slaves' response takes a predefined number of time-slots R that depends on the number of active slaves, K. Typically, R=K, however, for reliability, K≦R≦αK, where α is a positive integer chosen, for example, such that α≦3. This means that a slave may have up to 3 time-slots to repeat its request in a bad wireless channel. Third, the master broadcasts a schedule using B time-slots. Similar to the polling, typically B=1, however, an embodiment sets 1≦B≦3. Lastly, the nodes are interconnected. Denote the actual number of time-slots used for the interconnection by the letter I. The maximum number of time-slots scheduled by the master in any frame is defined as Tsch
A preferred packet structure for implementing the frame of
In response to the polling packet, slaves submit requests. Only the slaves listed in the polling packet are permitted to respond in the following Bluetooth slots. The response follows the same order in which their identifiers were listed in the polling packet by the master. In an alternate embodiment, CDMA is used so that the slaves may respond in the same time slot, further reducing overhead. The master will receive K responses on top of each other. CDMA makes it possible for the master to extract each slave's response from the over talk noise using orthogonal codes. In either case, slaves not listed in the polling packet may not respond.
A particular format of the payload of requesting-packets used by slaves will now be defined. In the preferred embodiments, each node keeps virtual queues at its transmitter such that each queue holds data destined to a distinct node in the piconet (including possibly the master).
Once the master has all requests from all active slaves, then considering its own requests, the master computes a half duplex constrained matching. Any maximal matching is suitable, though a maximum matching (making the optimal use of resources) may be used. However, a maximal matching is advantageous due to the ease of computation, and provides good performance. The master may also apply, for example, fairness guarantees and other techniques such as those typically used in the art of ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) cross bar switches. An example fairness guarantee is that no active slave is starved from sending to any other slave for a period more than it normally would in a round robin scheme that allows each node to send to each other node in the network. For example, under a heavy load condition, no slave in a piconet of K active slaves is starved from sending to any other member (a slave or the master) in the piconet for more than 2K2+Z consecutive time-slots, where Z≦K is a constant. In the 2.4 GHz license-free ISM bands, 79 channels, each 1-MHz wide, are available for Bluetooth. A single piconet should not be allowed to use all 79 available channels, however, and prevent co-existing others (in time and space) from utilizing the resource. In the current specification, a Bluetooth piconet can use at most one channel in each time-slot. In the invention, a piconet may use more than one channel concurrently in a single time-slot. The maximum number of channels, however, available to one piconet can be set to permit a reasonable number of other piconets to coexist (in time and space). A tradeoff exists between throughput and graceful coexistence (in time and space) with other piconets or scatternets.
After the schedule is computed, the master broadcasts the schedule. The schedule is essentially a set of computed matchings, where the set contains L matchings, where, similar to the definition of the parameter I discussed above, 1≦L≦Tsch
All communicating pairs during a given Bluetooth time-slot need to know what hop frequency they should tune in to whether transmitting or receiving. A new kernel or the same kernel specified in the current Bluetooth specification to generate the hopping sequence may be used in conjunction with the following algorithm. Assume that the master broadcasts a polling packet at time-slot 0 on some frequency, f(0), of the hopping sequence. Since the polling packet has an ordered list of K active members, let each member i of this list have the ith hop, f(i), among the following K hops of the sequence, dedicated to its response during the ith time-slot of the next K time-slots. Therefore, the (K+1)th hop in the sequence, f(K+1), is the hop where all members should tune in to receive the broadcast schedule from the master during the (K+1)th time-slot. Once the nodes receive the schedule, the hop to be used by each transmit/receive pair as well as who transmits and who receives for each matched pair are encoded in the format of the schedule as described above. Note that since each slave receives the full schedule list, each slave can determine all used hops in the sequence for this schedule and hence can determine the correct hop at the end of this schedule frame, which will be used by the master to broadcast the next polling packet.
According to the recent amendments of the rules governing the ISM bands by the FCC [Federal Communications Commission, �Amendment of part 15 of the commission's rules regarding spread spectrum devices, second report and order.� FCC 02-151, May 30, 2002], it is possible to accommodate up to K≦9, using at most 5 concurrent (frequency) channels in each time-slot. For delay, it may be shown that, if we restrict K≦�7, as in Bluetooth, then a maximum delay on the order of 11.25 ms is guaranteed for each active slave in a piconet of the invention to get its chance to access the channel.
In alternate embodiments of the invention, nodes and scheduling are modified to include multi-hop networks, where each node is not assumed to be in range with all other active nodes. The invention thus includes the formation of scatternets. In one embodiment, the master acts as a slave in another piconet and forwards the traffic from its piconet to the master of the other piconet. In another embodiment, a slave could act as a bridge or gateway to forward traffic to multiple piconets. The master recognizes destinations that require a hop to another piconet, and allocates matchings accordingly. For example, a node recognized as acting as a bridge can be allocated consecutive receive and transmit slots to receive and forward a packet.
While specific embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it should be understood that other modifications, substitutions and alternatives are apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. Such modifications, substitutions and alternatives can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, which should be determined from the appended claims.
Various features of the invention are set forth in the appended claims.

Help identifying (and care)
david883(5/6)June 11, 2013
I just bought this a few weeks ago at the MSU plant sale but it was only marked as "Geranium". If anyone can help identify it as something more specific that'd be great! Also, as you can see some of the flowers are spent. If I deadhead will it continue to rebloom? Otherwise I'm contemplating trying to collect seeds.
Thanks again!
Yes, but no pictures of flowers. Just googled images of G. macrorrhizum and some of the bloom pictures look like this one's blooms. It had soft pink and white flowers. Sounds like, from other googlings (yes, googlings), deadheading doesn't promote more blooms and its advised to not deadhead as it rejuvenates the plant and allows for reseeding. I'll follow that. Thanks for the info Penny. Much appreciated.

After having babies, I worked out for two years harder than I have ever and saw results everywhere but my tummy. My tummy became my biggest insecurity after having children.

I just wanted to feel... more

Well I'm a mother of 2 to a 19 & 11 year old.

"I'm 28yrs Old with 2 Kids. I Really..."
I went in for a consultation with Dr. beck in Foster City. He was a good Dr. I like the idea that the procedures are done in the hospital. But my biggest fear is dying and leaving my kids motherless for vanity. I'm sure many of the ladies here go through some type of fear. I really want to take this extra skin out. Workout has not done anything to it and it won't. Please anyone can give me... more

My motivation was myself. I had always been petite and from a young age liked to wear great looking clothes. Nine years ago as per my request, my husband afforded me a breast augmentation.

"61 Year Old Long Overdue for a Tummy..."
I pride myself on staying in shape, and I wanted to get rid of the excess loose skin around my mid section, a natural effect of the aging process and 3 pregnancies (including 1 caesarean). The results of the procedure are nothing less than exceptional! I was up and walking (completely upright) on day two and my recovery was a breeze. My husband and I met friends for cocktails in week 2! ... more

I am a 37 year old mother of three. My children's ages are 17, 8, and 3. I often get compliments/comments on how "great" I look, "even after having three kids" - the kind words of other's, not mine. Definitely not mine. I graciously accept these compliments with a "thank you," but am cringing on the inside as I feel like a fraud. I am Asian, petite.

Joseph Finder - Paranoia
By Joe Donahue
Albany, NY – Joseph Finder's background as an ivy league educated Sovietologist and member of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers really makes him stand out from other leading thriller writers because no one delves quite so deeply into the world of espionage. His previous books include - "High Crimes" and "The Zero Hour." His new book, Paranoia, is not about government spies. It is instead a tale of corporate espionage. Joe spoke with Finder - about how he came to write this story.

kiwis from seeds
How easy is it to grow kiwi fruit from seed?
I tried what i did with passionfruit (cut the fruit in half and buried each half in a different part of the garden - hundreds of seedlings) but haven't got a sprout yet.
any hints on what to do??
no clue- I've got two young ones, one of which I bought off the web, and one I took a cutting.
I'm not sure that kiwi seeds are particularly fertile- otherwise, I'd have lots of them in my compost heap by the end of the season (like the melons that sprouted there.)
My mum's hopeless at growing seeds, but a few years ago put some seeds from a kiwi fruit she'd eaten in a pot of soil and they sprouted into healthy plants. They've not flowered, but they've grown huge and the foliage is lovely against their trellis.
So it's worth a try I think. :)
I germinate fuzzy kiwiÂs in an acidic soiless medium with the baggie method. Clean the kiwi seeds & place them in a baggie of medium. It will take a long time  about a month, but they should germinate. There are about 800 seeds/fuzzy kiwi, so you should get many sprouts. The sprouts are delicate, so they need to be watched when young.
Cold hardy kiwi can not be germinated this way  they need cold stratification.
