A syndrome assisted iterative decoder (173) uses iterative processing to decode an input sequence. A syndrome-assisted decoder (216), which may operate independently of a soft-output decoder, provides a stopping algorithm for the soft output decoder (240).

This present invention relates generally to communication systems, and more particularly to a soft-output decoder for use in a receiver of a convolutional code communication system.
Convolutional codes are often used in digital communication systems (e.g., the direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA), IS-95, IS-136, and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) standards) to protect transmitted information. At the transmitter, an outgoing code vector may be described using a trellis diagram whose complexity is determined by the constraint length of the encoder. Although computational complexity increases with increasing constraint length, the robustness of the coding also increases with constraint length.
At the receiver, a soft-decision decoder, such as a Viterbi decoder, uses a trellis structure to perform an optimal search for the maximum likelihood transmitted code vector. More recently, turbo codes have been developed that outperform conventional coding techniques. Turbo codes are generally composed of two or more convolutional codes and random interleavers. Turbo decoding is iterative using a soft output decoder to decode the constituent convolutional codes.
The soft output decoder provides a reliability measure on each information bit, which is used to help the soft output decoder of the other convolutional codes. The soft output decoder computes an approximated probability ratio (the log likelihood probability ratio) for each information bit in a received signal. The soft output decoder is usually a type of MAP (maximum a posterior) decoder, which uses both backward and forward decoding to determine the soft output. Due to memory, processing, and numerical tradeoffs, MAP decoding is usually limited to a sub-optimal approximation. All of these variants require both forward and backward decoding over the block.
For future standards, such as the 3GPP (third generation partnership project for wireless systems), an 8-state turbo code with a block length of N=5120, will need 40960 words of intermediate storage, which may be unacceptable for practical implementation. Future systems employing larger frames and a greater number of states will require even more memory. By comparison, a Viterbi decoder that does not produce soft outputs for an N=5120, 8-state trellis requires less than 100 words of intermediate storage.
There is a need for an efficient soft output decoder that reduces overall memory and processing requirements for decoding convolutional codes without the limitations imposed by prior art turbo and MAP decoders.
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a communication system with a receiver having a soft-decision decoder.
FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the trellis composer and optimum state detector shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows a more detailed flow chart of the operation of the soft output decoder including the syndrome calculator, syndrome assisted decoder and soft output decoder shown in FIG. 2.
A syndrome assisted iterative decoder 173 includes soft output decoding. The syndrome assisted iterative decoder 173 also includes syndrome assisted decoding to support a stopping algorithm for the iterative decoding of the received data. Whereas prior iterative decoders would typically use a predetermined number of iterations regardless of the received signal quality, the present decoder permits dynamic allocation of processing power based upon the quality of the transmission channel. In operation, punctured code sequences v0 and v1 are produced from the received sequence. The sequences are decoded iteratively in a soft output decoder. The syndrome-assisted decoder produces syndromes s0 and s1 for the received hard-decision vectors v0 and v1, respectively. When both syndromes equal 0, the soft output decoder is finished decoding the sequence. The number of iterations for the decoder is thus determined by the amount of distortion caused by the communication channel, which may be wire, cable, fiber optic, air, or the like. Thus a signal received over a clean channel will require fewer iterations than one received over a noisy channel. Additionally, according to one embodiment, the syndrome-assisted decoder can generate a modified error trellis for use by a soft output decoder thereby improving the efficiency of the soft output decoder.
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a communication system 100 with a receiver 130 having a syndrome assisted iterative decoder 173. Receiver 130 is shown as part of a cellular radiotelephone subscriber unit 101; however, the receiver may alternately be part of a digital telephone, a facsimile machine, a modulator-demodulator (MODEM), a two-way radio, a base station, or any other communication device that receives convolutionally encoded signals. In the subscriber unit 101, a microphone 105 picks up audio signals that are modulated by a transmitter 110 and broadcast by an antenna 120 after passing through a duplexer 125. The antenna 120 also receives radio frequency (RF) signals from a complementary transmitter in a transceiver 199, which may for example be a cellular base station. A radio frequency (RF) front end 140 steps down the received RF signal received through duplexer 125 to an analog baseband signal. An analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 146 can be connected to the RF front end to convert the analog baseband signal to a digital signal. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the A/D converter 146 may not be required where the baseband signal is digital. Digital demodulator 150 processes the digital signal to produce a demodulated received signal vector r.
The demodulated received signal vector r is connected to a syndrome assisted iterative decoder 173. The syndrome assisted iterative decoder 173 generates an error trellis and identifies when syndromes s0 and s1 for v0 and v1, respectively, are both equal to 0. The syndrome assisted iterative decoder also generates soft output data from input data sequences by iteratively decoding an input sequence. At the output of syndrome assisted iterative decoder 173, a digital-to-analog (D/A) converter 180 converts the maximum likelihood soft-decision decoded signal to the analog domain, and an audio amplifier 185 uses operational amplifiers to increase the gain of the recovered signal for reproduction through audio speaker 190. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the decoder is preferably an approximated a posterior decoder, and that the D/A converter 180 can be omitted where the baseband signal, and thus the output of the receiver 130, is digital.
The syndrome assisted iterative decoder 173 may be implemented using any suitable circuitry, such as a digital signal processor (DSP), a microprocessor, a microcontroller, a combination thereof, or the like. It is envisioned that the syndrome assisted decoder 222 and the soft output decoder 240 can both be embodied in a single integrated circuit (IC) or different ICs. The soft output decoder 240 may decode the trellis constructed by the syndrome assisted decoder to take advantage of the simplified error trellis produced therein, or the soft output decoder 240 may decode the incoming data without using the error trellis produced by the syndrome assisted decoder. In the later case, the error trellis composed by the syndrome-assisted decoder will only be used to identify the point when the soft output decoder iterations may stop.
FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the syndrome assisted iterative decoder 173 of FIG. 1 in greater detail. The controller 208 receives as inputs the demodulated received signal vector r, the output of the soft output decoder 240 and the output of the syndrome-assisted decoder 222. The controller initially inputs the signal vector r to the symbol-by-symbol detector 210 that produces hard-decision vector v therefrom. The symbol-by-symbol detector merely examines the incoming signal and converts it to the closest valid (e.g., binary) symbol without regard for the value of the surrounding symbols. The symbol-by-symbol detector may be a hard comparator, which compares the input signal level to a threshold and outputs a logic one or a logic zero depending upon whether the input signal is above or below the threshold. The output hard-decision vector v of a symbol-by-symbol detector 210 is not necessarily a valid code vector. The vector v includes v0 and v1 that comprise parity bits Yk 0 or Yk 1, respectively, and data bits dk. A syndrome calculator 214 multiplies the hard-decision vectors v0 and v1 by scalar parity check matrix H to produce syndrome vectors s0 and s1. In the situation where syndrome vectors s0 and s1 equal 0, then hard-decision vectors v0 and v1 are the maximum likelihood estimated transmitted code vector C, and it is guaranteed that hard-decision vector v is identical to the output of a soft-decision decoder such as a Viterbi decoder, and no additional processing will be required.
If syndrome vector s≠0, which is often the case prior to removal of syndrome patterns, the syndrome assistant decoder (SAD) 216 performs a search through the computed syndrome vector to detect predetermined syndrome patterns stored in syndrome pattern memory 218, which stored patterns correspond to specific error patterns ep, such as single-error syndrome patterns or double-error syndrome patterns, in the received hard-decision vector v. The DAD first operates on v0, although it applies the identified syndrome patterns in s0 to v1 by modifying s1. If a syndrome pattern, p, is discovered in the syndrome vector s0, SAD 216 simplifies the syndrome vector s0 by subtracting the syndrome pattern p and records the found error pattern ep in an estimated error vector � according to the search results. The modified syndrome vector s0′ is simplified in the sense that it has more zeros than the original syndrome vector s0. If s0′=0, then �=� is the most likely transmission error vector, and the maximum likelihood estimated transmitted code vector is �=v−�. If modified syndrome vector s0′=H(v−�)≠0 after subtracting a found syndrome pattern p, the SAD 216 continues to search for syndrome patterns until all of the syndrome patterns in the syndrome pattern memory 218 have been compared with the modified syndrome vector s0′ or until the modified syndrome vector s0′=0. The syndrome vector s1′ is also formed by applying to s1 all the modifications made to syndrome vector s0 in creating s0′.
After all of the syndrome patterns in the syndrome pattern memory 218 have been applied to v0 and v1 to create the modified syndrome s0′ and s1′, and if at least one of the modified syndromes is not 0, the controller 208 sends the obtained simplified error trellis is to be utilized by the soft output decoder 240.
The search for the most likely transmission error vector � that produces the syndrome vectors s0′ and s1′ can be described by a search through an error trellis diagram for the path with the minimum accumulated weight. Meir Ariel and Jakov Snyders, provide an in-depth discussion and detailed examples of how to construct and decode an error trellis in an article entitled "Soft Syndrome Decoding of Binary Convolutional Codes," published in Vol. 43 of the IEEE Transactions on Communications, pages 288-297 (1995), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference thereto. An error trellis that describes the same coset of the convolutional code to which the symbol-by-symbol vector v belongs is used to search for the most likely transmitted data sequence. The shape of the error trellis depends only on the value of the computed syndrome vector, and a modified syndrome vector produces a simplified error trellis. Once the error trellis is constructed, an accelerated search through a simplified error trellis is possible due to its irregular structure. Under low bit-error rate conditions, the error trellis can be substantially simplified without affecting the optimum output of the decoding procedure. In other words, the SAD 216 simplifies the syndrome vector to promote long strings of zeros, which allows the construction of an error trellis which can be used for processing by the soft output decoder making the soft output decoder more efficient.
A general description of the soft output decoder 240 will now be provided. Turbo codes are constructed as a concatenation of two recursive systematic convolutional codes C0 and C1 linked together by some non-uniform interleaving. Although convolutional in nature, turbo codes cannot be decoded directly using a Viterbi decoder since their corresponding trellis diagram has in general a huge number of states. Therefore, an iterative approach is employed with two elementary decoders, each associated with a respective one of the two constituent codes. The two decoders are usually serially concatenated, where the first decoder yields weighted, or soft output, decisions, based upon reliabilities, which outputs are fed to the second decoder as a priori information. The soft outputs of the second decoder are then fed back to the first decoder for the second iteration, and so on. Only the extrinsic information, which is the new information that is generated by a decoder, is passed between the decoders.
There are several known methods for obtaining soft-output reliability measures, from the most complex, yet optimal, MAP algorithm to the reduced complexity MAX-Log-MAP algorithm and the Soft Output Viterbi Algorithm (SOVA). A novel soft output error trellis decoder for convolutional codes is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 09/655,995, entitled "Soft-Output Error-Trellis Decoder for Convolutional Codes" and filed by Ariel et al., the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference thereto. A novel method for identifying a window and an optimum state for a soft output decoder is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,452,979 entitled "Soft-Output Decoder for Convolutional Codes" and filed by Ariel et al., the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference thereto.
The soft output decoder 240 can use a trellis generated by the SAD 216 to generate the decoded sequence output to D/A converter 180 by controller 208. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the decoder can include a syndrome modifier and any suitable decoder, preferably a soft output decoder. Most of the soft input soft output (SISO) decoders employed for turbo codes are based on the MAP algorithm described in a paper by L. R. Bahl, J. Cocke, F. Jelinek, and J. Raviv entitled "Optimal Decoding of Linear Codes for Minimizing Symbol Error Rate", IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, Vol. IT-20, March 1974, pp. 284-7 (the "BCJR algorithm" or "BCJR method"), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference thereto. As will also recognized by those skilled in the art, turbo coders are constructed with interleavers and constituent codes, which are usually recursive systematic convolutional codes, but can alternately be block codes. MAP algorithms not only minimize the probability of error for an information bit given the received sequence, they also provide the probability that the information bit is either a 1 or 0 given the received sequence.
A MAP decoder is optimal in the sense that it minimizes the probability of symbol error. It is, however, too complex to implement in practice. Several approximations of the MAP decoder have been proposed, including the Soft-Output Viterbi Algorithm (SOVA), the Log-MAP, and the Max-Log-MAP algorithms. All of these algorithms perform in the logarithmic domain, whereby computational complexity is reduced.
The BCJR algorithm provides a soft output decision for each bit position (stage) wherein the influences of the soft inputs within the block are broken into contributions from the past (earlier soft inputs), the present soft input, and the future (later soft inputs). This decoding algorithm requires a forward and a backward generalized Viterbi recursion on the trellis to arrive at an optimum soft output for each trellis location, or stage. These a posteriori probabilities, or more commonly the log-likelihood ratios (LLR) of the probabilities, are passed between SISO decoding steps in iterative turbo decoding. The LLR for information bit ut is:
for all bits in the decoded sequence (t=1 to N). In equation (1), the probability that the decoded bit is equal to 1 (or 0) in the trellis given the received sequence is composed of a product of terms due to the Markov property of the code. The Markov property states that the past and the future are independent given the present. The present, yt(n,m), is the probability of being in state m at time t and generating the symbol yt when the previous state at time t-1 was n. The present operates as a branch metric. The past, αt(m), is the probability of being in state m at time t with the received sequence {y1, . . . , yt}, and the future, βt(m), is probability of generating the received sequence {yt+1, . . . yN} from state m at time t. The probability αt(m) can be expressed as function of αt−1(m) and yt(n,m) and is called the forward recursion
where M is the number of states. The reverse or backward recursion for computing the probability βt(n) from βt+1(n) and yt(n,m) is
The overall a posteriori probabilities in equation (1) are computed by summing over the branches in the trellis B1 (B0) that correspond to ut=1 (or 0).
Maximum a posteriori (MAP) type decoders (MAP, log-MAP, max-log-MAP, constant-log-MAP, SOVA, etc.) utilize forward and backward generalized Viterbi recursions on the trellis in order to provide soft outputs, as is known in the art. The MAP decoder minimizes the decoded bit error probability for each information bit based on all received bits. However, typical prior art MAP decoders require a large memory to support full block decoding.
Regardless of what type of soft output decoder is used, soft outputs are generated over multiple iterations. It is generally assumed that as the number of iterations increases, the reliability of the soft-output information improves, increasing the probability of accurate decoding the data sequence output by the decoder. The first few iterations however attain most of the improvement, with decreasing relative improvement as more iterations are performed. This essentially means that the probability of correct decoding could be relatively high even after a small number of iterations. Although the iterative process can be terminated when the soft outputs have reached a certain desirable reliability level, prior iterative decoders typically operate over a fixed number of iterations regardless of the quality of the received signal. A method for determining when a reliable level has been reached will be useful in reducing the average number of iterations, and hence the decoding complexity and delay.
The operation of the present method for detecting when to stop iterative decoding will be described with respect to FIG. 3. An iterative method for decoding concatenated convolutional codes (such as turbo codes) is employed. A syndrome-assisted decoder (SAD) is used as a preprocessing stage prior to the soft output decoder for each of the two constituent codes. In the preprocessing stage, predetermined likely error patterns are corrected, and a stopping algorithm based on maximum likelihood criterion is applied. The preprocessing stage is aimed at reducing the complexity involved in each iteration, as well as the average number of iterations, without compromising the bit error rate performance.
More particularly, the transmitted code sequence is given by {ck}, with ck=(Yk,Yk 0,Yk 1), where Xk=dk is the information bit at time k, Yk 0 is the parity output from the encoder C0, and Yk 1 is the parity output from the encoder C1. The received sequence is denoted by {Rk}, where Rk=(xk,yk 0,yk 1) is the received (noisy) version of the transmitted symbol ck=(Xk,Yk 0,Yk 1). The received sequences v0 and v1 are the punctured received sequences Xk,Yk 0 and Xk,Yk 1, respectively. Initially, s1 =0 and i=0, which are set in step 301. From the received sequence input in step 302, a priori channel information, which is log likelihood ratio (LLR) information LLR(xk, yk 0, yk 1), is calculated in step 303 and stored in step 304, for use in the iterative process. The metrics associated with the parity check bits of the code C1 are then punctured in step 305, leaving metrics associated with the parity check bits of the code C0. Metric-by-metric hard detection is performed in step 306 on the punctured sequence {LLR(xk,yk 0)} of LLRs. The detection in step 306 is performed by converting input real numbers into a 1 or a 0 based on whether the input number is above or below a threshold level. The threshold level can be set equal to 0. In all the subsequent iterations, metric-by-metric hard detection will be performed on the soft metric computed in step 313. The obtained hard-detection vector, denoted v0, is then employed for computing the syndromes s0=H0v0 t in step 308, associated with the code C0, where H0 is the parity-check matrix of the code C0.
Based on the obtained syndrome, a Syndrome Assisted Decoder (SAD) algorithm is performed. The SAD aims at accelerating the iterative decoding procedure by reducing the number of iterations required for obtaining a desirable bit error rate. Furthermore, the SAD provides a stopping criteria for terminating the iterative process based on maximum likelihood considerations. This stopping criteria requires that both syndromes s0 and s1, associated with the hard-detected sequences v0 and v1, respectively, are equal to zero simultaneously. Since the SAD operates independent of the soft-output decoder, it may be employed in one of two ways. The first way is to use the stopping algorithm where the soft input metrics to the soft output decoder 240 are not modified by the SAD, thus not affecting the performance of the MAP type decoder. In this case, soft output decoding will continue until s0=s1=0 as detected in the soft output decoder. Alternatively, the SAD may be used both as a stopping algorithm and as a pre-processing decoding step aimed at expediting the iterative decoding procedure. In this alternative case, the syndrome corrected data will be used to send more reliable input to the soft output decoder.
The SAD can operate as follows. If s0=s1=0, as determined in steps 309 and 310, for both v0 and v1 (the hard decision codes corresponding to code words C0 and C1), then the process proceeds to step 318. In step 318 the received data is extracted directly from the vector v1. If s0≠0, as determined in step 309 the first time, then pattern matching is applied to s0 by using memory 218 in an attempt to identify and correct the most likely errors in v0, and modify the syndrome s0 accordingly, as indicated in step 311. The vector v1 is then updated in step 311 by applying the syndromes identified in pattern matching step 311 to s1. If the SAD is used both as a stopping algorithm and as a pre-processing decoding step, soft input metrics of the soft output decoder are also modified in step 312. The soft input metrics are modified to reflect the fact that certain information bits have been determined upon by the SAD. Alternatively, it the "Soft-Output Error-Trellis Decoder for Convolutional Codes" disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6.452,979 is employed, then the SAD generates a modified error trellis for use by a soft output decoder thereby improving the efficiency of this soft output decoder.
Based upon the updated vector v1 identified in step 311, the syndrome s1 is recalculated in step 312. The modified syndrome is checked again in steps 309 and 310. If s0=0 as determined in step 309, and s1=0 as determined in step 310, then the processor proceeds to step 318 wherein the received data is extracted directly from vi. In step 318, the syndrome assisted iterative decoder extracts the information bits from v0 and terminates the iterative decoding process. When the SAD algorithm terminates at step 309 responsive to a second "No" result, soft-output decoding is applied to the code C0 as indicated in step 313. The soft output operates on the previous iteration's soft output values except during the first iteration. The decoder determines if additional iterations are required in step 314. Step 314 detects when a maximum number of permissible iterations have been performed. Step 314 determines that no additional iterations are required if an arbitrarily determined maximum number of iterations have occurred, which may for example be in the range of 4 to 16 iterations depending upon the application. An iteration is one cycle through steps 306 through 313 for both C1 and C0. In step 315 a metric-by-metric detector outputs the final hard decisions based on the soft-outputs obtained from decoding in step 313. The metric-by-metric detector outputs a logic 0 or a logic 1 depending upon whether a bit is above or below a threshold level. If additional iterations are required, because the maximum number of iterations have not been executed as determined in step 314, then the soft-output metrics are appropriately interleaved in step 316 (in the same manner as in the encoder in transceiver 199). In step 307, soft-input metrics associated with the code C1 are computed using the extrinsic information computed in step 313 and the channel measurements LLR(xk,yk 1) saved in step 304. The same process of steps 306-313 repeats for v1 as described above with respect to v0. Steps 316, 317, and 307 thus represent steps for switching between C0 and C1 so that each is considered for each iteration.
After each iteration, the updated metrics associated with codes C0 and C1 generated by the soft output decoder step 313 are stored for the next iteration. The previous iteration's metrics generated in step 313 are thus used for the current iteration. Once s1 and s0 are both equal to 0 (as detected in steps 309 and 310), or the maximum permitted number of iterations have taken place (as determined in step 314), the decoder will process a new sequence of data starting at step 300. In this manner, the soft output syndrome assisted decoder 173 decodes windows of a full frame sequence. It is envisioned that the windows will be smaller than 100 stages (bits), and may for example be 30 to 60 stages long, and the full block may be thousands of stages (bits) long.
In this manner an efficient soft output decoder is provided. The syndrome-assisted iterative decoder reliably determines when the soft output decoder can stop iterative decoding. In this manner, data subject to no or small disturbances will be decoded effectively with no or few iterations and data subject to many disturbances will be decoded with ample iterations. The number of iterations being dynamically adjusted for the current channel conditions.

Very thin and scratchy, not what I expected.
I ordered this rug in the 8x10 size for our new tile floor, thinking it would provide some padding for my kids while they play and it would be soft underfoot. I couldn't have been more wrong! This "rug" is more like a thick horse blanket. It doesn't even have a backing, it could be reversible because it's the same design and material on both sides. It is made of a super scratchy wool/cotton blend, I can't imagine it being a nice place to sit and play for my kids. We went out and bought a thick CARPET pad to lay underneath and it has helped greatly. But the corners still stick up after being on our floor for almost a week. We resorted to double-sided tape to stick them down. The only reason we didn't return it is because it was such a hassle and really expensive. And it actually is a pretty rug to look at and makes a great statement piece in our living room. If you are planning to put this over a berber carpet just for looks, it may work better for you, as long as you don't mind the scratchiness. But we really were looking for something that was thick to go over our tile floor and this was definitely the wrong choice. Definitely not worth the money we spent on it!Read More
This rug is attractive
First of all, this is a flatweave rug. It's not meant to be soft or luxuriant underfoot. It's knobbly and a little scratchy, so you're not going to be comfortable lying on it. I was prepared for that. On the bright side, because it's a flatweave rug, it is spill-resistant; liquids tend to bead up rather than soaking in (as they would on a more traditional wool rug). This is great if, like me, you have a bad habit of knocking over water-glasses and beer bottles. :) I ordered this rug for my living room, to replace a battle-scarred 8 x 11 dark-red Oriental rug. I'm really happy with it! It arrived rolled up into an 8-foot tube, in two layers of plastic, tied with pieces of twine. It relaxed and completely uncurled within a couple days of putting it down, and I'm not having any issues with corners sticking up. The color is a brighter in person than on my monitor, but I'm fine with it. It's a pleasant, fresh color and really makes my living room feel brighter and more open. It doesn't have quite the same sound-absorbing properties as a similarly sized non-flatweave rug, so do also keep that in mind. The rug also sheds a little. I imagine this will subside after a few rounds with the vacuum, though. You can see a picture of the rug in my living room at: http://www***Read More

DALLAS – Bobby Ryan might have scored twice to get the Ducks going and Teemu Selanne might have passed another legendary sniper on the all-time goals list but one play seemed to lift the collective spirit of a team Tuesday night.
A breakaway score by enforcer George Parros charged up his teammates and gave the Ducks a two-goal lead that they never relinquished in a 5-2 victory over the Dallas Stars in front of a sparse crowd at the American Airlines Center.
And so an emotional back-and-forth week concluded with the Ducks (4-5-1) earning a split of their four-game trip and feeling a little bit better about themselves.
"We managed to get to get four out of eight in some pretty tough buildings," Ryan said. "Obviously to end this one and make the flight home nice and get some divisional points is a huge bonus for us."
Ryan scored 28 seconds into the second period on a deflection of a Lubomir Visnovsky shot and then fired in a one-timer off a feed from the defenseman for his first two-goal game of the year and a 2-1 lead.
Parros brought the bench to its feet when he blocked a shot taken by Dallas' Karlis Skrastins and rumbled in all alone on Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen. His hard wrist shot bounced off Lehtonen's pads for his 14th career goal.
"I just made sure to get in the shooting lane and fortunately I got a good bounce that landed nice in the neutral zone," said Parros, whose tally capped a three-goal second period. "I just took it and ran. Put something on net and hope for the best."
Said Ducks coach Randy Carlyle: "The team feels good for him because he's got one of the toughest jobs in hockey. Those are the things that you hope your team rallies around and they did that tonight."
Brian Sutherby cut the lead to 3-2 but Selanne easily finished a nice blind pass by Corey Perry down low for a power-play goal that gives him 611 for his career as he passed Bobby Hull for 15th place on the all-time list.
Jonas Hiller was sharp all the way through and came up big in a sluggish first period for his team as he kept the Ducks within one goal while making 35 saves in all.

Bahrain's Unicorn Investment Bank has changed its name to Bank Alkhair, after taking steps to boost its finances and governance framework, said the Islamic lender.
October 5, 2011 10:32 by Reuters
The bank said last month that an investigation by consultancy Deloitte concluded that its former CEO, Majid Al-Refai, committed 58 criminal offences, including misappropriating bank funds. A Bahrain prosecutor has referred the case to a criminal court.
Refai denied the allegations of financial crimes made by the lender, saying that Deloitte, had not disclosed its "personal interest" in the probe.
Bank Alkhair's subsidiaries in its core markets of Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Turkey will operate under the new names of Alkhair Capital Saudi Arabia, Alkhair International Islamic Bank Malaysia and Alkhair Capital Turkey, it said in a statement.
"In the past year, the bank has taken important steps to safeguard its financial position by deleveraging its balance sheet, strengthening its liquidity profile and enhancing its corporate governance framework," said Yousef Al-Shelash, chairman of the bank, in a statement. "Our new name and identity are a reflection of these measures."
In August, the lender reported a $3.1 million profit in the first half of 2011 following a restructuring initiative by the firm. It also exited its U.S. operations to focus on its core markets. (Reporting by Shaheen Pasha; Editing by Firouz Sedarat)

2013 Presidential Inauguration Details
If you're like me, you are confused about what is happening when in respect to the Presidential inauguration happening tonight. I want to see all the performances! Well, here's the official detai

Longtime pals Jon Stewart, host of 'The Daily Show,' and Brian Williams, NBC's 'Nightly News' and 'Rock Center' anchor, are about to be in the midst of a friendly feud -- at least if Stewart has anything to say about it.
Most any fan of Ruben Fleischer's 2009 zombie action comedy 'Zombieland' either clamored for a sequel, or potential TV series to continue the adventures of Tallahassee, Columbus, Wichita and Little Rock. Few know that the concept had originally been pitched as a TV series, but four years later the idea might finally be getting off the ground! New casting reports and script leaks suggest that CBS is moving forward with a 'Zombieland' TV series, so check out the film-to-TV changes inside!
While our beloved '30 Rock' will come to a close on January 31, we shan't forget that 2013 will also see the final episodes of 'The Office' airing this May. And while much has been said about the final hours of the Dunder-Mifflin crew, from returning guests to unraveling the mystery behind the documentary team, the cast and crew recently took to the TCA tour to preview the series end, including several returning cast members (and several still not). Find out the latest on the 'Office' series finale inside!
As we roll toward the season of renewals, pilots and pickups, CBS has a great question hanging over its head with regard to the fate of 'Two and a Half Men.' Having survived two additional seasons past Charlie Sheen, the show may face additional departures as its looks toward a potential eleventh season. Yet if 'Two and a Half Men' were to come to an end in the near future, might all be forgiven enough to allow Charlie Sheen a brief return to the series before a potential finale? Sheen speaks out on his 'Two and a Half Men' future inside!
Welcome back to our weekly 'Girls' talks! This week we're joined by two critics to discuss the season two premiere of Lena Dunham's HBO series. In "It's About Time," Marnie and Hannah have seemingly switched roles, but does Hannah really have it together? And did Marnie ever have it together in the first place?
There were some serious red carpet clunkers at the 2013 Golden Globes. The dresses that were bad were ... really bad. There was nothing middling or "ho hum" about this selection of dumpy dresses, failure frocks and groan-inducing gowns.
It's a shame, since all of the ladies on this list are beauties in their own right. But boy did they choose the wrong dresses for this event.
The were more hits than misses at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards, so in order to keep things manageable, we narrowed it down to the five absolute best and most beautiful gowns (but do feel free to check out all our red carpet coverage).
So the Golden Globes turned 70 this year, and they're looking better than ever. And since the booze flows freely right there on the tables, it's one of the more laid-back awards shows of the season, so we knew we were in for a few surprises - and even more laughs - at this year's ceremony.
But there were a few grimace-worthy moments, too, not to mention some just plain boring ones. So with that in mind, here are the best, worst and weirdest moments of the night.
Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong will finally open up about those allegations of performance-enhancing drug use which saw him stripped of his seven Tour de France titles last year, cost him several lucrative endorsement deals and made him step down as chairman of his Livestrong charitable organization.
And who better to discuss the complete and utter destruction of his life with than Oprah Winfrey?
Well, we could have seen this one coming. In spite of pop sensation Justin Bieber's recent run of negative headlines stemming from his... let's say greener, less role model-friendly habits, it seems 'SNL' is doubling down on the Biebs. The long-running NBC sketch comedy series has officially tapped the Canadian superstar to both host, and perform on an upcoming episode, but will Bieber fever overtake 'SNL'? Find out when you can catch Justin's latest gig inside!
Joss Whedon might be one of the world's busiest men these days, with every project on his plate from 'The Avengers 2' to an eventual 'Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog' sequel, but one thing TV fans have been clamoring to learn is his involvement with ABC and Marvel's upcoming 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' TV series. We know Whedon helped write and will direct the pilot episode, but how involved would he be with the series if ABC chooses to move forward with the show? Joss Whedon speaks out on 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' inside!

CANTON — St. Lawrence County lawmakers Monday pledged support for Clarkson University's plans to wire the Adirondack Park and beyond for broadband Internet.
Legislators at Monday's Operations Committee meeting voted unanimously to contribute $10,000 toward the project and submit a letter of support for Clarkson's application for federal stimulus funding to pay for it.
The university's proposal, dubbed the Adirondack Initiative for Wired Work, has a goal to get 2,019 telecommuters online in and around the Adirondack Park by 2019. The idea is to attract more professionals to the area by allowing them to work online from home and expand Web business opportunities for small entrepreneurs.
Laura J. Perry, D-Hopkinton, the Legislature's Information Technology Committee chairwoman, said Clarkson's project also will establish computing centers to provide technology support via phones, fax machines, Internet access and Web training seminars for small businesses and professionals.
"We want to connect folks inside the park with folks outside, without changing the character of the park," said Kevin P. Lynch, Clarkson's network services director.
If the university's stimulus application is approved, Mr. Lynch said, the funding would span three years and require a 20 percent local match. He said the university wants to keep the project going beyond the three-year mark, and part of the money will be used to hire a development coordinator to secure long-term service provider commitments.
He said the university has secured about $80,000 of a $100,000 local match for the $500,000 project, and is seeking support from other north country counties whose residents also will benefit.
Mr. Lynch said projects with multiple partners are especially favored for stimulus funding. The state's Office for Technology will decide which projects get stimulus money, and Mr. Lynch said its officials already are warm to the idea.
