CONYERS - This summer, a few dozen students from Rockdale County and other surrounding areas are learning important lessons that will take them through the rest of their lives.They are taking driving lessons at the Rockdale Career Academy so they can learn how to properly park, handle certain driving conditions and operate a vehicle on a variety of roadways. But they also had a chance to hear from somebody who many may think is out to get them - a Rockdale County Sheriff's Office deputy. But driver education instructor Charlie Bryant, along with the sheriff's office, wants to change their way of thinking. Every semester driver education is offered, Bryant has a deputy talk to the group of students. "It's to make sure the kids know someone is looking out for them and so they can see law enforcement as an advocate, not a person who is against them," Bryant said. RCSO Deputy Rene Shirley spoke to a group of students last week. "I'm not against them; I'm here to help them," he said. During the class, Shirley recounted for students incidents from his time on patrol when he came upon traffic accidents or drunken driving-related accidents or gave DUI tests; he wanted to encourage the students to stay away from that type of thinking and influences. He said a lot of times drivers are arrested for DUI not because an officer will see them swerving all over the highway or because they have had an accident, but because they are stopped for a minor traffic violation. "It could be anything," he told students. "We run into DUIs all the time on different things." Those traffic incidents include running red lights or stop signs, idling in the middle of an intersection, nearly causing accidents or speeding. Shirley warned that anyone under 21 who is pulled over and registers anything on a sobriety test will be in violation of the law. "For you folks, that's one beer, one shot, one wine cooler, one 5-ounce glass of wine - anything," he said. Adults generally can handle four beers before they will be charged with a DUI, Shirley said, while commercial vehicle drivers can receive a DUI after about two beers, since it's a bigger vehicle and requires more responsibility. Shirley said when an officer suspects a driver of driving under the influence of alcohol, the officer will require the driver to take the test of his own choice - blood, breath or urine - and if the driver requests another type of test, the driver can take that test after he takes the test selected by the officer. "Some departments say it's a refusal if you don't take the test they choose," Shirley said. He said those who refuse a field sobriety test completely on a traffic stop will have that used as evidence at trial. After he told students about some instances of DUIs that didn't result in much damage or injuries, he then discussed a more serious side of drunken driving. He described how he once he arrived at a single-vehicle accident with three occupants, one man hanging half out the window almost dead. "There was nothing I could do for him," he said. Shirley and other bystanders tried to help the other passengers, who were eventually airlifted to a hospital. It was later ruled a drunken driving accident in which the driver, who was driving on a spare tire, appeared to have attempted to pass another vehicle and lost control, flipping the car several times. All three men were underage with fake IDs on them. After the class, Shirley said most students learning to drive typically have problems with following too closely, driving too fast for conditions and failure to yield. However, he wanted to warn them against dangers of drinking and driving, and other illegal events, to try to influence them to head in the right direction now and avoid those situations in the future. "I think most kids want to be good drivers and good citizens; they just sometimes make bad decisions - law enforcement is one slice of the pie in keeping those kids safe," Bryant said. Michelle Floyd can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Posted by: Marita on: April 30, 2012
You may remember Annie's post about how nervited she was about the concert at Federation Square.
I want to say thank you to all the supportive and helpful comments on that post, it really helped Annie make it through the lead up the day itself without falling apart.
(making music with the salt, pepper and sugar)
On the morning of the concert we went into the city early and enjoyed a hot chocolate together before meeting up with her school mates for rehearsals just after 11am. We were able to explore the theatre while it was still mostly empty and help Annie adjust to the space.
The children went into the theatre for rehearsals at 11.30am and parents were not allowed in till 1pm when the performance was to start. Annie went with her school mates happily enough and I enjoyed a cup of coffee and chat with the other parents.
1pm came around quickly and in to the theatre we went, it was standing room only with all the seats filled and people squeezing into any spot they could find. Annie was standing up near the back and came running over to me asking for some lunch and a drink as she was hungry. I had packed snacks in case thank goodness.
There was a bit of talking, a group sing-a-long to warm up the audience and then it was time for Annie's school to perform 3 marimba songs, which they did very well, if I do say so.
After their performance there was more things happening down on the stage whilst Annie's group lined up to go down on stage. I gave her a hug and watched her on the way down to the stage for the massed choir performance.
So far so good I thought and headed outside for a little break from the music and to purchase a drink, not having eaten lunch yet I needed something to keep me going.
I headed back in to see Annie sitting with her group, hands over her ears, rocking backwards and forwards, tears streaming down her face.
And my heart broke.
I felt such guilt for taking a break when she had been in there with the noise for hours.
I waved to her, figured out how to get past all the people and made my way down the stairs to stand at the edge of the stage opposite where she was sitting. I was in the way of the tech people but at that point I didn't care.
Using basic hand signals I indicated she could come over to me, she shook her head. My brave brave girl was going to see it through, even though it was so very hard.
Her friends gave her hugs, I made my way back to the top of the theatre and positioned myself so she could see me. The massed choir stood to sing once more and Annie stood with them, she rocked and covered her ears but stopped crying as she sang. After the song finished Annie slid down to sit next to her teacher who hugged her and said it was okay.
My Annie, my hero, you couldn't see her cape, but it was firmly pinned on her shoulders. My super girl, with her super hearing and her super sensitive soul and her super determination, she made it all the way to the end, she did it.
The show finished around 2.30pm, such a long time, we went outside in the quiet, we watched the Yarra river flow by and slowly my girl unfurled, she had been seated next to speakers, the drummers cymbals reverberated in her throat and she could hear the noise under her skin. But she stayed, she was so proud to have done it, not sure if she will go again, but Annie can say she sang on stage at the Edge Theatre in Federation Square.
My aspie superhero her cape is invisible but it is there.

I knew her before you know, yeah, I gave her her first piano…
I so admire you, Marita and your husband and Your Amazing daughters, Heidi and Annie. Each day has another hurdle you
(pl ) to jump. The organisation of a day to the city is not easy peasy either.
The amount of noise that Annie forced herself to endure to get through her day must have been so damn awful for her. I am noise sensitive and I get cranky over unnecessary loud noise. Yet, I don't mind my music loud. Has to be MY Music…. that I love! A brave, brave girl. To get to sing in Fed. Sq. is pretty good too.
I wished we had that lovely undie shop up here in tropical Qld. I'd be there like a flash. Enjoy your next shopping excursion and don't break the bank….. love. xo
That is such a wonderful, beautiful story. Wow I can almost hear those loud cymbals myself! Annie is truly a superhero for staying through the concert. You are right it doesn't matter whether or not she stays next time, she knows she can. And such a proud moment for both of you. That is so wonderful
And thank you so much for participating in the flash blog. Can we link to your post and/or reprint on the autism positivity blog? We would give you full credit obviously. Your participation means so much to so many
It sounds like she has some wonderful and supporting friends at school. Good work Annie for making it through the performance, I may not have heard it, but I'm sure it was magnificent!
Awesome Annie.
That is what she needs on her cape.
(you know what is funny? People have been sharing my post on facebook and the image that comes up is not the image from my post but yours in my sidebar. Coincidence? Fate? Nevertheless I hope it brings more people to read about the awesomeness of your girls. And their mother. x)
This is a lovely post Marita! I love how you described the cape that your little superhero proudly wears. It may be invisible to some… but I have seen my son, H, wear it too… when we know that those accomplishments that may seem small to some – are really something HUGE!
What a proud moment for you and for your girl!
Oh I love her courage, it had me in tears. Can you please tell her how brave she was? Because I'm a mother of a son like her, and I know how tough that must have been – and also how rewarding it must have been for her to see it through. I be it felt good afterwards. I hope it did anyway. They all wear invisible capes, don't they? x
What an amazing girl you have Marita, so strong, so brave. She is an inspiration, as are you. xx
You've raised and managed her very well Marita! You and your husband should be proud of yourselves.
Beautiful post…just beautiful!
Love. Just love. xo
Annie is a super power all on her own, she is absolutely amazing, delightful and genuine just like her mother x
Aw Marita, I totally teared up reading that. I understood everything you wrote deep in my heart. I know we talked about this on IG when it happened but I am so glad I found this post. Beautiful!
Thank you and your girl is a superhero all the way!

Meditation is one among the top 10 alternative remedies used by the U S Public. The National Center for Secondary and Alternative Medicine reviews that 8 percent of Americans use Meditation as being a wellness tool.
If we think of our essential needs in everyday life, we basically think about food and water. In order to live, you require over the two essentials, right?
Actually we are able to survive for a few days without the food or water. But what occurs without oxygen? You will find no days without oxygen, only minutes.
While oxygen plays a huge role inside the body, it delves into every one of the diseases and health conditions that threaten us everyday.
A short while ago a colleague of mine was telling me about an incredible treatment he discovered online for Lymes. What he explained is in reality that this helped and cured his Lyme disease, it was actually The Miracle Cure. Visit their website.
No further only for Buddhist monks and New Age kinds, Meditation is currently interesting to conventional enterprise experts, physicians as well as medical care businesses. It is due to the developing data which facilitates that Meditation may encourage physical healing.
Meditation might be religious for many; however the exercise isn't fundamentally spiritual in nature.
There are lots of hypnotic techniques but irrespective of the method, medical study implies that an exercise of yoga is probably to evoke a situation of physical rest blood pressure level falls, heart beats slower and respiration is quieter, other biochemical modifications may also happen.
Experts don't realize why the modifications occur but knowing the actual results may explain the possible health advantages of Meditation.
Twenty minutes of day to day Meditation can offer relief for conditions including low back pain, complications, despair and panic.
Suffers of those chronic situations must attempt to integrate the Meditation exercise in their day to day program. If Meditation may lower blood pressure level, it might be a helpful tool in assisting clients with high blood pressure level.
If experts uncover precisely how Meditation works to reduce these signs, they might be able to that comprehension to treat a number of other problems.
Study on Meditation began in the late sixties. Herbert Benson, MD, started monitoring the physical effect of Transcendental Meditation on people.
Recently, the range of studies has concentrated on how an exercise may reduce signs of chronic diseases from cardiovascular illness to cancer.
Experts show a number of the study is been on whole study communities and hasn't had sufficient control groups for evaluation.
However many studies show encouraging benefits. Meditation can relax the body. Market more restful sleep and boost the bodys immunity system. This can assist fight sickness and better handle the apparent symptoms of chronic problems.
Meditation may relax the mind and assist us better offer with the stress of our day to day lives. The most popular interest in Meditation and its health advantages might assist drive more study in the future.

The present invention is related to co-pending and commonly assigned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/775,213, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,560,673 entitled "NEW FIBRE-CHANNEL UPGRADE PATH," the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a general purpose interface to a Fibre Channel array controller, more particularly to a gigabit interface converter (GBIC) or a gigabit link module (GLM) channel adapter, and to the use of a channel controller with associated general GBIC/GLM adapters to provide an ultra-high bandwidth bus.
Enterprise resource planning systems and other sophisticated corporate data processing systems have gained substantial importance in recent years. Specifically, many corporate management theories posit that the success of an organization is directly related to the ability to gather and process enterprise information in an efficient and organized manner. To fulfill these goals, certain software companies have produced information management products such as RP/3 and the like. These types of software systems manage enormous amounts of information. Management of inventory levels, customer purchasing information, accounting data, employment information, and various other databases requires significant storage capacity. In addition, e-commerce has placed a premium upon transferring ordinary business operations to electronic work flows, thereby creating further storage capacity requirements. In addition, increased processing speed and capacity places greater demands upon storage resources.
Disk arrays have been designed to address these storage requirements. An exemplary disk array system is described in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,392,244, entitled "MEMORY SYSTEMS WITH DATA STORAGE REDUNDANCY MANAGEMENT," the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. In essence, a disk array is a system that utilizes a number of discrete disks and interfaces with a host system or systems in such a manner that the assemblage of discrete disks appears as a single disk system. Disk arrays present numerous advantages. For example, disk arrays are highly redundant. If a particular discrete disk fails, the remaining portion of the disk array remains in operation. Moreover, disk arrays permit data mirroring, i.e. the same data may be stored upon more than one disk to provide greater redundancy against discrete disk failure. Accordingly, the probability of failure of the entire disk array is much lower than integrated storage systems.
Moreover, known disk array systems are designed to operate in a Fibre Channel environment. The Fibre Channel communication protocols are somewhat similar to the well-known Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) scheme, except for several differences. SCSI is a parallel interface standard used by various personal computers for attaching peripheral devices to computers. The Fibre Channel approach utilizes a mapped protocol to communicate frames, instead of individual bytes. Moreover, the Fibre Channel approach does not utilize parallel communication path connections. Instead, the Fibre Channel environments utilize serial communication channels to provide various system architectures, such as point-to-point, arbitrated loop, and crosspoint switched topologies. The serial communication approach simplifies system configuration. Specifically, the in-bound cable for one device in a Fibre Channel environment is the out-bound cable for a preceding device (either another independent unit or a fabric circuit switch). The fiber may comprise either an optical fiber cable or a twin-axial copper cable. For the remaining material, the term "fiber" shall be interchangeably utilized to mean either a fiber optical medium or a twin-axial copper cable. Also, it should be noted that Fibre Channel systems provide very high data communication rates. In fact, gigabit communication rates are possible. Fibre Channel systems rely upon intermediate devices to propagate information accurately between source and destination devices. Since the Fibre Channel architecture utilizes this approach, Fibre Channel systems limit the number of devices that may be present upon the system. This limitation is imposed to reduce latency and improve data communication rates.
Since there is an inherent limitation upon the number of devices present upon a Fibre Channel system, disk arrays operating upon a Fibre Channel system do not connect each individual disk unit to the external Fibre Channel system. Instead, a Fibre Channel disk array integrates the Fibre Channel in-bound and out-bound cables in a backplane. The Fibre Channel disk arrays further comprise a controller unit to arbitrate or manage communication between the discrete disk units and the Fibre Channel environment. The operating principles of an array controller is described in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,471,640, entitled "PROGRAMMABLE DISK ARRAY CONTROLLER HAVING N COUNTERS FOR N DISK DRIVES FOR STRIPPING DATA WHERE EACH COUNTER ADDRESSES SPECIFIC MEMORY LOCATION BY A COUNT OF N," the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The controller unit may provide a predetermined number of disk bays for connecting individual disk units. Thereby, the discrete disk units communicate directly with the controller unit. The controller unit assembles information received via the disk bays from the drives for communication in the forward direction over the fiber channel. Similarly, the controller unit separates data communicated in the reverse direction for distribution to the particular discrete drive units via appropriate disk bays. The controller unit further manages the discrete disk units in a manner that the plurality of units appears as a single disk. The controller unit implements mirroring tasks to provide for greater redundancy. Also, the use of Fibre Channel protocols permits efficient communication of data from discrete disk units to destination devices on the Fibre Channel system. Specifically, Fibre Channel protocols have demonstrated high bandwidth capability for large file transfers.
This architecture is quite useful to provide large storage capacity in an efficient and reliable fashion. However, the architecture of such disk array systems is specifically designed for a single purpose-data storage upon multiple discrete disk units. Moreover, the architecture provides very limited scalability. Specifically, the architecture limits the addition of discrete disk units to a predetermined number. At the present time, additional storage requirements must be fulfilled by providing a separate disk array system which obviously entails substantial expense. Also, the controller unit is singularly designed to interface with discrete disk units via the disk bays. Since the controller unit utilizes a specific interconnect, it is not possible to connect other devices via the disk bays.
The present invention provides an interface to facilitate a scalable and cost-effective disk array system. By doing so, the present invention simplifies operating system compatibility issues by facilitating scalable data storage. The present invention provides a general purpose interface to permit connection of heterogeneous devices to a Fibre Channel controller via plug-in connections. Also, the present invention facilitates connection of a plurality of heterogenous devices to a Fibre Channel system via a controller in a manner that the plurality of devices appears from a system perspective as a single device. Moreover, the present invention provides a general interface to a Fibre Channel controller to provide an ultra-high speed bus.
The present invention is directed to a general purpose interface to a Fibre Channel controller. The system provides a dual or greater slot interface to a single bay of a fiber channel system. The interface may preferably comprise two slots utilizing either a gigabit interface converter (GBIC) or a gigabit link module (GLM) for both slots. By providing a plurality of slots, the present invention permits scalable addition of devices to the Fibre Channel controller. The interface does not simply double the interface capacity of the Fibre Channel controller. Instead, individual interfaces may be serially connected. Thus, the interfaces permit exponential expansion of capacity to a single port of the Fibre Channel controller. Moreover, the present invention permits connection of heterogenous devices to the Fibre Channel controller in addition to discrete disk units. For example, the interface may permit connection of CD-ROM drives, tape units, networking cards, optical drives, and/or the like. In alternate embodiments, the present invention allows connection via other interfaces, such as SCSI interfaces, WDM interfaces, RS-232 interfaces, and/or the like.
Also, the present invention realizes that Fibre Channel controllers are not limited to disk array systems. By designing general purpose interfaces to a Fibre Channel controller, the present invention permits a Fibre Channel controller and its fiber channels to serve as an ultra-high speed bus. Specifically, any type of device may be connected to the controller. Thus, Fibre Channel controllers may provide the same capabilities of an ordinary bus with significantly higher bandwidth capability in accordance with the present invention.
The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features and technical advantages of the present invention in order that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood. Additional features and advantages of the invention will be described hereinafter which form the subject of the claims of the invention.

FIG. 1A illustrates an exemplary disk array system.
FIG. 1B illustrates plug-in disk modules associated with typical disk array systems.
FIG. 1C illustrates replacement of a disk array module with an inventive interface.
FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary disk array system connected to an exterior system.
FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary fiber channel system connected to an exterior system with the controller connected to diverse hardware units.
FIG. 4A illustrates an exemplary disk bay utilized with a controller of a disk array system.
FIG. 4B illustrate exemplary expansion interfaces utilized with a controller.
FIG. 4C illustrates exemplary processing hardware disposed on a port of an exemplary expansion interface port.
Turning now to the Drawing, FIG. 1A illustrates a known disk array channel system 100. Disk array system 100 comprises array controller 101 and a plurality of disk units 102A-102F. Also, disk array system 100 comprises dual fiber channels (not shown) to provide a physical medium for communication to another device in a Fibre Channel system. An exemplary configuration of plug-in disk modules is shown in FIG. 1B. FIG. 1B shows single disk unit 102 g which includes a plurality of disk modules. The disk modules are added to single disk unit 102 g by simply plugging into the various pre-established ports. FIG. 1C illustrates the operation of the present invention. FIG. 1C shows disk unit 102 g. As previously discussed, disk unit 102 g comprises a plurality of disk modules. However, one of the disk modules is replaced by an inventive interface in FIG. 1C. Interface 104 plugs into disk unit 102 g in a manner similar to the plug-in functionality of the disk modules. Additionally, interface 104 includes ports 103A and 103B to allow the connection of general purpose devices to disk unit 102 g as will discussed in greater detail below.
FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of system 200 utilizing such a disk array system. System 200 comprises host 201. Host 201 communicates through adapters 202A and 202B to disk array system 207. It shall be appreciated that this exemplary configuration represents a single link on a Fibre Channel system. As shown, host 201 represents a single data processing system in a point-to-point topology. However, the present invention may be practiced within any system topology. For example, host 201 and disk array system 207 may be connected to other devices to form the arbitrated loop topology. Also, host 201 may represent a circuit switch in a fabric topology. However, disk array system 207 is merely shown connected to host 201 in a point-to-point topology for the sake of simplicity.
Disk array system 207 communicates over the physical connections provided by fiber channels 203A and 203B. Disk array system 207 utilizes one fiber to transmit information to host 201. Disk array system 207 utilizes the other fiber to receive information from host 201.
Additionally, disk array system 207 comprises array controller 204. Array controller 204 comprises a plurality of disk bays 205A-205F. Of course, the number of disk bays is not strictly limited to a particular number for design purposes. Nonetheless, manufactured disk array systems do not permit the addition of more disk bays without substantial modifications. Disk bays 205A-205F provide the interconnect to a corresponding number of disk units 206A-206F. Disk array system 207 performs a number of functions. In particular, disk array system performs bandwidth conversion. Specifically, individual disks 206A-206F may communicate at a lower communicate rate than the fiber channel depending upon the interface type and the drive capabilities. Disk controller 204 receives information from disks 206A-206F and assembles received information into a higher bandwidth signal for transmission to host 201. Likewise, disk controller 204 receives information from host 201 and distributes the information via lower bandwidth links to disks 206A-206F. Disk controller 204 is preferably implemented as a high-speed processor based device. Moreover, disk controller 204 may further comprise a significant buffer to increase system performance.
In this manner, disk array system 207 provide a "virtual disk" comprising substantial storage capacity. Disk array system 207 appears from the perspective of host 201 to be a single disk drive. Since disk array system 207 has a disk unit associated with each disk bay, disk array system 207 does not provide any capacity to provide additional storage. Thus, network managers must provide an additional disk array or other storage medium to satisfy any outstanding storage requirements.
FIG. 4A illustrates disk module 400 which is a block representation utilized in known disk array systems. The pertinent characteristic of disk module 400 is that it only provides an interface to an array controller for a single disk. It is not possible to connect several disks. Also, it is not possible to connect any other type of device. In contrast,
FIGS. 4B and 4C illustrate exemplary inventive interfaces. FIG. 4B illustrates GBIC based adapter 401. GBIC interface 401 comprises two slots with each slot providing a single GBIC transceiver. A GBIC is an industry standard modular transceiver solution for gigabit Ethernet applications. GBICs utilize optical signaling to provide the gigabit interface. Each GBIC slot may be utilized to communicate with any type of device as will be discussed in greater detail herein below. Similarly, FIG. 4C illustrates GLM based adapter 402. GLM adapter 402 comprises two slots with each slot providing a GLM interface. A GLM interface is substantially similar to a GBIC except that are GLMs are fixed to boards and GBICs provide plug-in functionality. In a preferred embodiment, the GBIC and/or GLM interfaces are designed so that the modules may simply slide into existing disk array units. This is particularly advantageous, since it allows the present invention to be utilized with existing hardware devices.
Although FIGS. 4B and 4C illustrate the use of GBICs and GLMs in connection with the present invention, it shall be appreciated that any type of interface may be created. For example, wave division multiplexing modules, SCSI interfaces, Ethernet interfaces, and/or the like may be utilized. However, GBICs and GLMs are preferred embodiments due to their expense, complexity, reliability, and bandwidth characteristics. Moreover, it shall be appreciated that it is not necessary to utilize the same type of interfaces on a single interface unit. The two ports may possess differing bandwidths. Alternatively, the two ports may possess differing transmission characteristics as one may be optical and the other may be electrical. Thus, the present invention may be practiced utilizing any number of interface types.
FIG. 4C illustrates an exemplary block diagram of signal processing components disposed behind an individual port of an inventive interface. First, block 406 may comprise an external communication 403 sub-component. External comm. 403 may manage the communication with the given physical interface of the port. For example, external comm. 403 may interchange optical signals associated with the port with electrical signals received from glue logic 404. Glue logic describes the functionality utilized to manage communication between two different communication protocols and/or mechanisms such as external communication external comm. 403 and internal FC0 communication sub-component 405. Glue logic 404 may provide data rate translation, buffering, and/or protocol translation tasks. In particular, glue logic 404 may preferably comprise sufficient programmable instructions to allow a connected device to be compatible with an ordinary disk drive port associated with a disk array. Glue logic 404 may be implemented in any number of ways. For example, glue logic 404 may be implemented via ASIC design. Alternatively, glue logic 404 may be implemented utilizing a microprocessor, memory, EEPROM, and/or the like. Also, block 406 preferably comprises internal FC0 communication sub-component 405. FC0 comm. 405 provides communication capabilities to and from the controller unit of the array. Fibre Channel connections and protocols are preferably utilized to communicate internally within the disk array for several reasons. First, they provide very high bandwidth communication. Secondly, Fibre Channel protocols provide a number of bandwidth allocation mechanisms that are relatively flexible and efficient, thereby allowing simplified management of data access to the various connected devices. It shall be appreciated that this is a separate Fibre Channel arbitrated loop than the external Fibre Channel connections. Thus, FC0 comm. 405 is preferably associated with a separate and distinct Fibre Channel arbitrated loop that provides communication within the disk array, thereby allowing communication between the controller and the various devices.
The present invention allows chaining of multiple interfaces to provide an exponential expansion path. For example, each slot of GBIC adapter 401 or GLM adapter 402 may be connected to a similar port. Thus, the second port connects two optical slots to one optical slot of the original interface. This process may be iteratively continued as necessary. It shall be appreciated that the process of exponentially expanding via a single slot may cause the bandwidth of the connected interfaces to exceed the capacity of the single slot connected to the controller unit. In this situation, all devices cannot communicate at the same time. Accordingly, a scheme should be employed to provide some sort of time division access. The present invention provides another advantage by simplifying this arrangement. The present invention may utilize the "carrier sense" functionality of gigabit Ethernet devices. The "carrier sense" functionality of Ethernet devices provides a medium access control (MAC) scheme. The MAC scheme prevents other devices from attempting to communicate over an optical channel if another device is already communicating. Thus, the present invention may leverage existing gigabit Ethernet protocols to prevent connected devices from exceeding the bandwidth of the controller unit.
In additional, various interfaces may be connected to the GBICs or GLMs. In an embodiment, a secondary adapter card may be attached to a GBIC or GLM interface. In turn, the adapter card permits connection of multiple ordinary SCSI bus channels via a single GBIC or GLM transceiver. By doing so, the aggregate bandwidth requirement of the plurality of SCSI channels may match the bandwidth of the GBIC/GLM port. In a preferred embodiment, a controller may comprise fifteen interface GBIC/GLM ports. Four SCSI channels may be connected via a single secondary adapter card to specific GBIC/GLM transceiver. Moreover, fifteen disk drives may be connected to each SCSI channel. This embodiment may be practiced with ten gigabyte drives. Thus, the present invention by utilizing a controller with high bandwidth fibers and interfaces may provide 9000 gigabytes of data storage capacity. In addition, the present invention allows this scope of data storage to be implemented in a much more compact solution than achievable by prior storage configurations.
FIG. 3 illustrates exemplary system 300. System 300 comprises host 301 with adapters 302A and 302B. As previously noted, system 300 represents a point-to-point topology in a Fibre Channel system. However, the present example utilizes one system for the sake of simplicity. Host 301 communicates using adapters 302A, 302B which are coupled to fiber channels 303A and 303B. Fiber channels 303A and 303B are connected to array controller 304. In this case, array controller 304 utilizes inventive adapters 306A-306F to provide connection to a heterogeneous set of devices. Similar to the previous configuration, array controller 304 is connected to a plurality of disk units (307A-307G). In addition, controller 304 is connected to CD-ROM 308, tape-unit 310, and optical reader/writer 309. The inventive interface even permits array controller 304 to connect to other networks. In this case, array controller 304 is connected to ATM switch 311.
It is a further advantage of the present invention to provide simplified back-up and debugging capabilities. For example, the controller unit may automatically cause certain data stored on disk units to be stored via a tape-unit for back-up purposes. Thus, back-up functionality may occur without the intervention of IT personnel or other system operations. Also, the back-up operation may occur without transferring data over network connections. Instead, the back-up data transfers may occur solely within the controller unit. Also, the present invention permits back-ups to another disk array system or disk drive without requiring disconnection of the original disk array. This is especially useful for diagnosis of CPE hardware bugs, since a virtual copy may be created and sent back to a lab for analysis.
As previously noted, the present invention allows scalability of storage capacity. This may be accomplished by connecting array controller 304 to another array controller (array controller 312). Additionally or alternatively, the present invention may be employed in a hierarchical storage architecture as described in commonly assigned and co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/775,213, filed Jan. 31, 2001 (issued as U.S. Pat. No. 6,560,673), entitled "NEW FIBRE-CHANNEL UPGRADE PATH." Array controller 312 is connected to a plurality of devices via inventive adapters 313A-313F. In this case, array controller 312 is connected to disk units 314A-314L. It shall be appreciated that array controller 312 may also connect to any number of diverse devices or even to another array controller.
Thus, the present invention provides a technically simplified mechanism to increase storage capacity. The present invention provides numerous advantage over other solutions. First, the assemblage of storage devices on array controller 304 and array controller 312 appears to host 301 as a single "virtual" storage system. When array controller 312 and associated disk units 314A-314L are initially connected to array controller 304, the system architecture from the viewpoint of host 301 has not changed. Host 301 simply detects that additional storage capacity exists via its connection to array controller 304. Host 301 is not required to have any greater knowledge of devices disposed at lower levels, such as array controller 312.
The present invention also simplifies operating systems tasks. For example, known Fibre Channel systems connect the heterogenous devices disposed on the systems to processor units via hubs or switches. However, this solution is problematic since each processor unit's operating system must be configured to operate with each device. This is especially problematic given the inclination of operating system providers to use proprietary application interfaces. Configuration of devices and associated debugging may be exceptionally cumbersome. Thus, the present invention simplifies operating system issues, since each processor system need only be configured to the controller. The present invention reduces the necessity of training and retaining dedicated IT personnel to maintain and optimize communication with a plurality of data storage related devices.
Moreover, the present invention realizes that the disk array controller architecture is not limited to disk applications. Instead, the present invention realizes that the disk array controller architecture may be utilized to make any assemblage of devices to appear to a host system or other network to be achieved as a single connection. Custom controllers may be developed for other applications. For example, a controller may be configured or programmed to act as a bus. Such an application may provide extremely high performance as compared to ordinary buses. In fact, the use of GBIC or GLM interfaces and the fiber channels allows implementation of a gigabit bus.
FIG. 3 illustrates a system configuration that illustrates the potential of this concept. Host 301 is connected to array controller 304 via fiber connections 303A and 303B. Array controller 304 manages or arbitrates communication between host 301 and all of the associated devices. In essence, array controller 304 may serve as a protocol and physical interconnect between host 301 and the various devices. Array controller 304 provides several mechanisms to provide the protocol and physical interconnections. First, array controller 304 receives the high bandwidth Fibre Channel signal via an incoming fiber. Array controller 304 determines which information is intended for particular devices. Array controller 304 may determine which information is intended for which device utilizing typical bus protocols. For example, certain messages or packets may comprise a device address to identify the destination device.
Also, array controller 304 may perform bandwidth conversion as necessary. For example, array controller 304 may buffer received information as necessary. When bandwidth to the particular devices is available, array controller 304 communicates the information to the particular devices via the respective adapters. Similarly, array controller 304 receives information from devices via the respective adapters. Array controller 304 may buffer the information as necessary. Additionally, it shall be appreciated that array controller 304 may preferably arbitrate or control the receipt of information from the devices. First, two devices utilizing the same adapter may otherwise attempt to communicate via the same adapter at the same time. However, the bandwidth of the combined devices may exceed the bandwidth of the interface. Also, the aggregate bandwidth of the devices may exceed the bandwidth of the outgoing fiber channel. Array controller 304 may buffer information. However, the buffer may eventually be exceeded before the buffer is emptied by transmitting via the outgoing fiber. Accordingly, array controller 304 may control or arbitrate communication to/from the devices to prevent the bandwidth of any particular channel from being exceeded.
Thus, array controller 304 may provide the bus functionality of providing multi-channel access to a number of heterogeneous devices. In addition, it shall be appreciated that the devices are not limited to storage devices. Array controller 304 may connect to any device, such as interface cards connected to other networks. Also, the present invention permits these types of hardware solutions to be implemented in a scalable manner. For example, the exemplary bus may be expanded with little difficulty by applying another array controller associated with a new set of devices. This scalable expansion may occur without affecting the view of the bus to the connected host system.
Although the present invention and its advantages have been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Moreover, the scope of the present application is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments of the process, machine, manufacture, composition of matter, means, methods and steps described in the specification.

So yes, at least two of the employees are definitely reading this forum and posting information on nvidia drivers and bugs here. I am not sure whether they are actually developers, but they are certainly in contact with them. So either they are intentionally not reading threads on this particular issue, or they are reading them but have ignored all our requests for comment. That is almost certainly Nvidia's decision either way, not theirs, but it is still pretty striking that we have had no comment whatsoever from anyone affiliated with nvidia in any way despite the fact that they are certainly heavily involved here.

Efficient Tempo and Beat Tracking in Audio Recordings
Automatic beat tracking consists of estimating the number of beats per minutes at which a music track is played and identifying exactly when these beats occur. Applications range from music analysis, sound-effect synchronization, and audio editing to automatic playlist generation and deejaying. An off-line beat-tracking technique for estimating a time-varying tempo in an audio track is presented. The algorithm uses an MMSE estimation of local tempo and beat location candidates, followed by a dynamic programming stage used to determine the optimum choice of candidate in each analysis frame. The algorithm is efficient in its use of computation resource, yet provides very good results on a wide range of audio tracks. The algorithm details are presented, followed by a discussion of the performance and suggestions for further improvements.

According to MontaukMonster.com and seconded by Gotham News and now Gawker, the creature might be a viral marketing prop for an indie movie about carnival subculture entitled Splinterheads, currently filming in Long Island. The film stars Lea Thompson, Rachel Taylor (Transformers) and Christopher McDonald (above photo, Fanboys, Dutch). On the director's photo blog, Sersen Park, there is an implied shoutout underneath the monster's pic to Rachel Goldberg—evidently the sister of the film's producer Darren Goldberg—who "discovered" the monster and went to the press. See: this giggly interview.
"Tonya" stated that the original pictures of the Montauk Monster were a stage prop from the Splinterheads movie set. "Tonya" also mentioned that there will be a scene in the movie where the Montauk Monster will be revealed.
Could this be a possibility? Could this be a marketing scheme? Absolutely! The creature was mysteriously brought to somebody's backyard and it has never been seen again. In Newsday's "Splinterheads" article, Michelle Isabelle-Stark says: "For Suffolk County's economic development office, the arrival of the cameras and crews is welcome news."
The so-called Monster of Montauk has been exposed as an imaginative publicity stunt dreamed up by the makers of a new movie. Apparently, Rachel Goldberg, the woman who discovered the famed beastie, is the sister of none other than producer Darren Goldberg (pictured above), who is making a movie about, you guessed it, …monsters.
Rather than being a scary sea monster, the creature was in fact just a cheap prop used in Goldberg's film Splinterheads. You can read all about the making of the movie here.

Akif Eskalen steps through the dense, damp leaves in a wooded neighborhood, scrutinizing the branches around him. He's looking for evidence of an attack: tiny wounds piercing the bark and sap dried around them like bloodstains.
The victims are box elders, sycamores and coast live oaks, all in some state of suffering. Eskalen approaches a tree riddled with 1-millimeter holes, as if someone used it for miniature target practice. It's time to nab a perp. He selects a hole, pulls out a large knife and expertly levers out a chunk of wood.
There, in his hand, is a glossy beetle no larger than a sesame seed: the polyphagous shot hole borer.
Though small and sluggish, its appetites are wide and its spread is relentless. It attacks forest trees, city trees and key agricultural trees. It has defied all conventional and chemical weapons. No one seems to have a way to stop it.
This cul-de-sac, in the foothill community of Pasadena Glen, has been particularly hard-hit. One giant tree was so weak that one of its trunks toppled from one resident's yard across a creek and crashed into a neighbor's. Another tree was filled with green jelly, its insides completely digested.
Anxious residents cluster around as Eskalen examines a wounded sycamore.
"We've got a canyon full of highly educated people who want answers," said longtime resident Linda Williams, a retired business owner.
Eskalen, a plant pathologist at UC Riverside, wants to contain this invasive bug before it spreads throughout Southern California. Already the beetle has been sighted as far south as San Diego, as far west as Santa Monica, as far east as the Riverside County city of Eastvale.
Eskalen tips the beetle into a glass vial. He detaches a pink spray bottle from his backpack and administers a few lethal squirts of ethanol before twisting the vial shut.
These beetles have a strange M.O. They don't eat wood, like termites; instead, they drill circular tunnels toward the heart of the tree. They carry fungal spores in their mouths and sow them like seeds as they go. Then they harvest the fungus to feed their larvae. It's a deadly partnership: The beetles attack, but the fungus also helps to kill, colonizing the wood tissue and spreading through the plant.
The beetles have easily evaded the authorities. Inside the tree, they're well protected from pesticide sprays. The incestuous offspring mate with their siblings inside the trunk, so sex pheromones do not lure them out.
"If we can't control them," Eskalen said, "they are going to wipe out all our trees."
Eskalen's first contact with these devious bugs was in 2012, triggered by a desperate email from South Gate resident Chelo Ghaly. The real estate closer's avocado tree had been oozing white spots all over its trunk.
Local gardening authorities were of no use. Suggestions to try fungal sprays failed. Frustrated, she scoured the UC Riverside website and found Eskalen, who studies avocado diseases. She sent him pictures of the damage.
Eskalen said he looked at the strange symptoms and grabbed his car keys.
After examining the fungus in Ghaly's tree, he took his findings to the California Avocado Commission. To date, they've given UC Riverside scientists a total of $800,000 to broaden his investigation into this mysterious species of ambrosia beetle. His survey came to a head when he reached the Los Angeles County Arboretum and the Huntington Botanical Gardens — two repositories of healthy, well-kept trees.
They're not so healthy anymore.
At the Huntington in San Marino, Eskalen spied a diseased specimen. He hopped up, grabbed a high branch with both hands and bounced until it snapped off.
"Ach, Akif, really?" said Tim Thibault, the Huntington's curator of woody collections. It didn't matter: The plant was probably a goner.
Such pests typically feast on a small group of plants. But this one doesn't seem to discriminate.

Round Steak And Kidney Pie
|1 3⁄4 Teaspoon
|Sifted all purpose flour
|4 1⁄4 Cup (68 tbs) (Approximately)
|3 Medium, lightly beaten
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Round steak
|2 Pound, cut 0.5 inch thick
|Beef kidney
|1⁄2 Pound
|Freshly ground black pepper
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
1. Mix one-quarter teaspoon of the salt with four cups sifted flour. Mix the eggs with the milk and reserve about four tablespoons for a glaze. Add the milk mixture to the flour and stir together to form a stiff dough. Knead until smooth.
2. Roll into a thin sheet and dot with bits of half a stick of butter. Sift a light dusting of flour over the butter. Fold the corners of the dough to the center, fold in half, pound to flatten and roll into a sheet. Repeat process until all the butter has been folded in. Chill between each rolling if the butter softens. When all the butter has been used, chill the dough.
3. Preheat the oven to hot (425° F.).
4. While the pastry is chilling, cut the steak into three-inch squares and pound lightly. Place a piece of kidney on each slice of beef and roll jelly roll fashion. Mix one tablespoon flour, one and one-half teaspoons salt and the pepper and sprinkle over the rolls. Stand the rolls on end in a shallow six- to eight-cup casserole.
5. Roll the chilled pastry to about one-quarter-inch thickness and cut out a shape that is one inch larger than the top of the casserole. Cut a one-inch hole in the center of the pastry. Cut six small leaves from scraps of pastry and use the balance of the pastry scraps to line the rim of the casserole. Place top on pie loosely, moisten the rim and seal the edge. Brush bottoms of leaves with the diluted egg reserved earlier and arrange the leaves as a trim on top of pie. Brush whole of top with the egg.
6. Bake at 425° twelve minutes, lower the heat to moderate (325° F.); bake two hours longer.

Because of this lack of certification I could not install this type of wood burning stove, in my wood shop and my home insurance agreed withy the decision.Date published: 2012-02-23Rated 5 out of 5 by MARK from The item arrived quickly and is what I expected.Date published: 2012-02-16Rated 4 out of 5 by RAYMOND W from Well made, but sorry it was made in China.Date published: 2011-10-28Rated 5 out of 5 by JUDY from The best stove kit ever!

Wood Street Galleries Hosts STRUCTURES OF TIME AND SPACE Exhibition, Beg. Today
Pittsburgh -- The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust announces the opening of Structures of Time and Space, large-scale light installations by internationally exhibited Austrian-born artist Erwin Redl. The exhibition is on view today, January 24-April 6, 2014, at Wood Street Galleries, and it opens in conjunction with Gallery Crawl in the Cultural District 5:30 to 10 p.m., January 24, 2014.
Known for his work using LEDs, Redl presents two installations in the present exhibition. Premiering at Wood Street Galleries, Twists and Turns uses successive layers of suspended glass plates to reflect four high-intensity light beams. The inherent draft in the room causes the glass plates to move at various speeds, scattering the light reflections across the walls and ceiling. The reflections are replicated again and again by the plates, creating an intense pattern of colored light, effectively dematerializing the architecture of the room.
Speed Shift uses two bands of white LED light grids and simple beeps to create subtle shifts in the audience's perception of time. Each LED band displays a wave animation with synchronized pulses of beeps indicating the wave's speed. The speed of each individual wave changes slowly overtime, shifting in and out of phase with the other wave.
In both Twists and Turns and Speed Shift, Redl investigates the process of reverse engineering, by translating the abstract aesthetic language of virtual reality and 3D computer modeling into architectural environments through large-scale light installations. Due to the large size of the installations' architectural dimensions, participation by the viewer being present is an integral part of the artwork.
Erwin Redl earned a bachelor of arts in composition and a diploma in electronic music from the Music Academy in Vienna, Austria. He also received a master of fine arts in computer art from the School of Visual Arts in New York, NY. The recipient of numerous awards, scholarships, and residencies-including a Chinati Foundation Residency in Marfa, TX, and a P.S.1 Studio Residency in Queens, NY-Redl has held solo and group exhibitions worldwide. Select exhibitions have been held at such venues as the Whitney Biennial, New York, NY; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, CA; Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo, OH; Art Miami / Swarovski Crystal Palace, Miami, FL; Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, OH; World Expo 2008, Zaragoza, Spain; among others. Redl presented a large-scale public commission at Wood Street Galleries in 2003 as part of the exhibition After Image.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 10/10/12
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- There's a reason it had been 55 years since the last time the Packers lost a game after leading by 18 points at halftime. For any NFL franchise, that's a large enough margin for even the poorest of second-half performances to still sneak by with a win. But Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, Green Bay lost despite its 21-3 halftime lead and showed just how different things have been so far this season. Last year, the 15-1 Packers won eight games by double digits. When they pulled ahead by more than 10 points, it was over. In seven games won by nine points or fewer last season, Green Bay always found a way to make the necessary plays to come out with a victory.As Sunday's loss demonstrated, this year's Packers have a lot of work to do in order to get even close to the dominance they displayed in 2011."Those are games we would blow guys out last year when we would get up like that," offensive lineman Josh Sitton said Wednesday. "That's something we have to get ba...

The Pittman-Kaufman 1843 Seated Dollar1843 $1 PR64 NGC. Ex: Pittman-Kaufman. Like the proof 1843 dime in the present sale from the same sources, this PR64 NGC Seated dollar is also in an updated NGC encapsulation since its last appearance with us. It is nonetheless, readily identified both via the NGC insert and via plate-matching back to the Pittman Collection (Akers, 10/1997), where it was part of lot 832, a complete 1843 proof set from half cent through eagle in its original case. We have identified five separate examples of the proof 1843 Seated dollar, although a couple of others may exist, and this piece is tied with two other PR64 NGC pieces for finest certified.
PR64, Tied for Finest Certified
PR64, Tied for Finest Certified
In cataloging this coin for the Kaufman Collection, we described it in these terms:
"A mélange of violet, sky-blue, reddish-gold, and golden-orange patination adorns both sides of this near-Gem proof, being somewhat softer in hue in the fields. The toning does not completely mask the mirrors of the latter, hence a degree of contrast with the motifs is evident when the coin is tilted slightly beneath a light source. A solid strike lends exceptional detail to the design elements, including complete separation of Liberty's foot, sandal, and straps, and bold ribbing on the reverse leaves and arrow heads. A minute mark to the right of star 9 aids in identifying the coin."
We would add little to the description, above except to point out that such a coin is seldom available, and it is much rarer than recent appearances might lead one to believe. Once it finds a permanent place in some fine cabinet, it might be decades before it appears again in the marketplace. Astute collectors should be prepared and act accordingly.
Ex: Part of a complete proof set, half cent through dollar, with original case purchased from Judge Joseph F. Sawicki, May 10, 1948; John Jay Pittman Collection (David Akers, 10/1997), lot 832 (part of an 1843 proof set); The Phil Kaufman Collection of Early Proof Sets, Part Four (Heritage, 7/2008, lot 1810).(Registry values: N10218) (NGC ID# 24ZT, PCGS# 6984)

Charlotte Lewis Says Roman Polanski Abused Her at 16
With high-powered attorney Gloria Allred at her side, the 42-year-old actress told reporters on Friday that Polanski victimized her "in the worst possible way" when they first met at his apartment. Lewis went on to appear in Polanski's 1986 adventure-comedy, 'Pirates.' She was 19 when the film was released, however it took years to complete.
Allred told reporters that if Lewis' allegations are true, they "are relevant for his sentencing" in a decades-old conviction for unlawful sex with a minor. The 'Chinatown' director is currently fighting extradition to the United States after years of being a fugitive.
Lewis did not offer many details about the alleged incident, only that Polanski used force during a visit to his apartment in Paris.
"Mr. Polanski knew that I was only 16 years old when he met me and forced himself upon me in his apartment in Paris," she said. "He took advantage of me and I have lived with the effects of his behavior ever since it occurred. All I want is justice."
The age of consent in France is 16, providing there was no force or coercion involved.
Lewis said there were "similarities" between what she claims Polanski did to her and the incident involving Samantha Geimer, the then-13-year-old model at the center of his criminal case.
Polanski was accused of plying Geimer with champagne and part of a Quaalude pill, then raping her during a modeling shoot at Jack Nicholson's house in 1977. Polanski was initially indicted on six felony counts, including rape by use of drugs, child molesting and sodomy. He later pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful sexual intercourse in a plea bargain.
Allred has taken Lewis' accusations to the Los Angeles Police Department and the LA District Attorney's Office, presumably to help boost their case against Polanski.
Other than 'Pirates,' Lewis is best known for her starring role in 'The Golden Child' and later posed in a memorable spread for Playboy magazine, where the headline read, "The Golden Child Is a Grown-Up Sizzler."

I believe her about Roman Polanski. Sexual predators rarely strike once and stop. But she does not need Gloria Slimeball to get her story out. Once a person picks up Gloria, she takes on a sheen of slime that can't be washed off.
So to you Ms. Lewis.... "tough cheese".

If the last name is Lewis, I wouldn't believe a WORD THAT SHE SAID because that family will do anything for money.

That's it, folks. Blame the victim. Especially when it's a woman re: her "virtue."
Is this your response to stories about priests who abused children "26 years ago?" Victims of rape risk a lot when they choose to report.
As someone else pointed out, child molesters rarely stop at one rape, and getting away with it only emboldens them. Remember that Nastaja(sp)Kinski also says he had his way with her when she was 15 and he was 40-something.
I don't give a damn about the "beauty" of the Pole's films, or the ludicrous and offensive excuse given that he's been traumatized by memories of the Holocaust or the murder of his (much younger) wife. Since when are these excuses for being a sexual predator - for the rest of us non-celebrities?

Cocaine use disorder is characterized by chronic cycles of abstinence and relapse. Prevention and treatment of cocaine use disorder could be greatly advanced by a more comprehensive understanding of its neurobiological underpinnings. Alterations in the serotonin and glutamate neurotransmitter receptor systems in the brain are putative molecular mechanisms, which may be involved in the propensity to relapse to cocaine use. We optimized and implemented a quantifiable and reproducible automated Simple Western assay in Wes™ to examine serotonin and glutamate receptor expression, as well as protein:protein interactions from rodent brain samples.
In this webinar, Dr. Noelle Anastasio, Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Texas Medical Branch; and Sarah Swinford-Jackson, Graduate Assistant, Center for Addiction Research, University of Texas Medical Branch, will discuss:
