This invention relates to network packet processing.
Parallel processing is an efficient form of information processing of concurrent events in a computing process. Parallel processing demands concurrent execution of many programs in a computer, in contrast to sequential processing. In the context of a parallel processor, parallelism involves doing more than one thing at the same time. Unlike a serial paradigm where all tasks are performed sequentially at a single station or a pipelined machine where tasks are performed at specialized stations, with parallel processing, a plurality of stations are provided with each capable of performing all tasks. That is, in general all or a plurality of the stations work simultaneously and independently on the same or common elements of a problem. Certain problems are suitable for solution by applying parallel processing.
According to an aspect of the present invention, a method for processing of network packets includes receiving network packets and operating on the network packets with a plurality of program threads to affect processing of the packets.
Referring to
The hardware-based multithreaded processor 12 also includes a central controller 20 that assists in loading microcode control for other resources of the hardware-based multithreaded processor 12 and performs other general purpose computer type functions such as handling protocols, exceptions, extra support for packet processing where the microengines pass the packets off for more detailed processing such as in boundary conditions. In one embodiment, the processor 20 is a Strong Arm� (Arm is a trademark of ARM Limited, United Kingdom) based architecture. The general purpose microprocessor 20 has an operating system. Through the operating system the processor 20 can call functions to operate on microengines 22 a–22 f. The processor 20 can use any supported operating system preferably a real time operating system. For the core processor implemented as a Strong Arm architecture, operating systems such as, Microsoft NT real-time, VXworks and μCUS, a freeware operating system available over the Internet, can be used.
The hardware-based multithreaded processor 12 also includes a plurality of microengines 22 a–22 f. Microengines 22 a–22 f each maintain a plurality of program counters in hardware and states associated with the program counters. Effectively, a corresponding plurality of sets of program threads can be simultaneously active on each of the microengines 22 a–22 f while only one is actually operating at any one time.
In one embodiment, there are six microengines 22 a–22 f, each having capabilities for processing four hardware program threads. The six microengines 22 a–22 f operate with shared resources including memory system 16 and bus interfaces 24 and 28. The memory system 16 includes a Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) controller 26 a and a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) controller 26 b. SDRAM memory 16 a and SDRAM controller 26 a are typically used for processing large volumes of data, e.g., processing of network payloads from network packets. The SRAM controller 26 b and SRAM memory 16 b are used in a networking implementation for low latency, fast access tasks, e.g., accessing look-up tables, memory for the core processor 20, and so forth.
Hardware context swapping enables other contexts with unique program counters to execute in the same microengine. Hardware context swapping also synchronizes completion of tasks. For example, two program threads could request the same shared resource e.g., SRAM. Each one of these separate functional units, e.g., the FBUS interface 28, the SRAM controller 26 b, and the SDRAM controller 26 a, when they complete a requested task from one of the microengine program thread contexts reports back a flag signaling completion of an operation. When the flag is received by the microengine, the microengine can determine which program thread to turn on.
As a network processor, e.g., a router, the hardware-based multithreaded processor 12 interfaces to network devices such as a media access controller device e.g., a 10/100BaseT Octal MAC 13 a or a Gigabit Ethernet device 13 b. In general, as a network processor, the hardware-based multithreaded processor 12 can interface to any type of communication device or interface that receives/sends large amounts of data. The network processor can function as a router 10 in a networking application route network packets amongst devices 13 a, 13 b in a parallel manner. With the hardware-based multithreaded processor 12, each network packet can be independently processed.
The processor 12 includes a bus interface 28 that couples the processor to the second bus 18. Bus interface 28 in one embodiment couples the processor 12 to the so-called FBUS 18 (FIFO bus). The FBUS interface 28 is responsible for controlling and interfacing the processor 12 to the FBUS 18. The FBUS 18 is a 64-bit wide FIFO bus, used to interface to Media Access Controller (MAC) devices. The processor 12 includes a second interface e.g., a PCI bus interface 24 that couples other system components that reside on the PCI 14 bus to the processor 12.
The functional units are coupled to one or more internal buses. The internal buses are dual, 32 bit buses (i.e., one bus for read and one for write). The hardware-based multithreaded processor 12 also is constructed such that the sum of the bandwidths of the internal buses in the processor 12 exceed the bandwidth of external buses coupled to the processor 12. The processor 12 includes an internal core processor bus 32, e.g., an ASB bus (Advanced System Bus) that couples the processor core 20 to the memory controllers 26 a, 26 b and to an ASB translator 30 described below. The ASB bus is a subset of the so called AMBA bus that is used with the Strong Arm processor core. The processor 12 also includes a private bus 34 that couples the microengine units to SRAM controller 26 b, ASB translator 30 and FBUS interface 28. A memory bus 38 couples the memory controller 26 a, 26 b to the bus interfaces 24 and 28 and memory system 16 including flashrom 16 c used for boot operations and so forth.
Referring to
If the memory subsystem 16 is flooded with memory requests that are independent in nature, the processor 12 can perform memory reference sorting. Memory reference sorting reduces dead time or a bubble that occurs with accesses to SRAM. Memory reference sorting allows the processor 12 to organize references to memory such that long strings of reads can be followed by long strings of writes.
Reference sorting helps maintain parallel hardware context program threads. Reference sorting allows hiding of pre-charges from one SDRAM bank to another. If the memory system 16 b is organized into an odd bank and an even bank, while the processor is operating on the odd bank, the memory controller 26 b can start precharging the even bank. Precharging is possible if memory references alternate between odd and even banks. By ordering memory references to alternate accesses to opposite banks, the processor 12 improves SDRAM bandwidth. Additionally, other optimizations can be used. For example, merging optimizations where operations that can be merged, are merged prior to memory access, open page optimizations where by examining addresses, an opened page of memory is not reopened, chaining which allows for special handling of contiguous memory references and refreshing mechanisms, can be employed.
The FBUS interface 28 supports Transmit and Receive flags for each port that a MAC device supports, along with an Interrupt flag indicating when service is warranted. The FBUS interface 28 also includes a controller 28 a that performs header processing of incoming packets from the FBUS 18. The controller 28 a extracts the packet headers and performs a microprogrammable source/destination/protocol hashed lookup (used for address smoothing) in SRAM. If the hash does not successfully resolve, the packet header is sent to the processor core 20 for additional processing. The FBUS interface 28 supports the following internal data transactions:
The FBUS 18 is a standard industry bus and includes a data bus, e.g., 64 bits wide and sideband control for address and read/write control. The FBUS interface 28 provides the ability to input large amounts of data using a series of input and output FIFO's 29 a–29 b. From the FIFOs 29 a–29 b, the microengines 22 a–22 f fetch data from or command the SDRAM controller 26 a to move data from a receive FIFO in which data has come from a device on bus 18, into the FBUS interface 28. The data can be sent through memory controller 26 a to SDRAM memory 16 a, via a direct memory access. Similarly, the microengines can move data from the SDRAM 26 a to interface 28, out to FBUS 18, via the FBUS interface 28.
Data functions are distributed amongst the microengines. Connectivity to the SRAM 26 a, SDRAM 26 b and FBUS 28 is via command requests. A command request can be a memory request or a FBUS request. For example, a command request can move data from a register located in a microengine 22 a to a shared resource, e.g., an SDRAM location, SRAM location, flash memory or some MAC address. The commands are sent out to each of the functional units and the shared resources. However, the shared resources do not need to maintain local buffering of the data. Rather, the shared resources access distributed data located inside of the microengines. This enables microengines 22 a–22 f, to have local access to data rather than arbitrating for access on a bus and risk contention for the bus. With this feature, there is a 0 cycle stall for waiting for data internal to the microengines 22 a–22 f.
The core processor 20 also can access the shared resources. The core processor 20 has a direct communication to the SDRAM controller 26 a to the bus interface 24 and to SRAM controller 26 b via bus 32. To access the microengines 22 a–22 f and transfer registers located at any of the microengines 22 a–22 f, the core processor 20 access the microengines 22 a–22 f via the ASB Translator 30 over bus 34. The ASB Translator 30 performs an address translation between FBUS microengine transfer register locations and core processor addresses (i.e., ASB bus) so that the core processor 20 can access registers belonging to the microengines 22 a–22 c.
Although microengines 22 can use the register set to exchange data. A scratchpad memory 27 is also provided to permit microengines to write data out to the memory for other microengines to read. The scratchpad 27 is coupled to bus 34.
Referring to
In addition to event signals that are local to an executing program thread, the microengines 22 employ signaling states that are global. With signaling states, an executing program thread can broadcast a signal state to all microengines 22. Any program thread in the microengines can branch on these signaling states. These signaling states can be used to determine availability of a resource or whether a resource is due for servicing.
The context event logic 74 has arbitration for the four (4) program threads. In one embodiment, the arbitration is a round robin mechanism. Other techniques could be used including priority queuing or weighted fair queuing. The microengine 22 f also includes an execution box (EBOX) data path 76 that includes an arithmetic logic unit 76 a and general purpose register set 76 b. The arithmetic logic unit 76 a performs arithmetic and logical functions as well as shift functions. The registers set 76 b has a relatively large number of general purpose registers. In this implementation there are 64 general purpose registers in a first bank, Bank A and 64 in a second bank, Bank B. The general purpose registers are windowed so that they are relatively and absolutely addressable.
The microengine 22 f also includes a write transfer register stack 78 and a read transfer stack 80. These registers are also windowed so that they are relatively and absolutely addressable. Write transfer register stack 78 is where write data to a resource is located. Similarly, read register stack 80 is for return data from a shared resource. Subsequent to or concurrent with data arrival, an event signal from the respective shared resource e.g., the SRAM controller 26 a, SDRAM controller 26 b or core processor 20 will be provided to context event arbiter 74 which will then alert the program thread that the data is available or has been sent. Both transfer register banks 78 and 80 are connected to the execution box (EBOX) 76 through a data path. In one implementation, the read transfer register has 64 registers and the write transfer register has 64 registers.
Each microengine 22 a–22 f supports multi-threaded execution of four contexts. One reason for this is to allow one program thread to start executing just after another program thread issues a memory reference and must wait until that reference completes before doing more work. This behavior is critical to maintaining efficient hardware execution of the microengines because memory latency is significant. Stated differently, if only a single program thread execution was supported, the microengines would sit idle for a significant number of cycles waiting for references to return and thereby reduce overall computational throughput. Multi-threaded execution allows an microengines to hide memory latency by performing useful independent work across several program threads. Two synchronization mechanisms are supplied in order to allow a program thread to issue an SRAM or SDRAM reference, and then subsequently synchronize to the point in time when that reference completes.
One mechanism is Immediate Synchronization. In immediate synchronization, the microengine issues the reference and immediately swaps out of that context. The context will be signaled when the corresponding reference completes. Once signaled, the context will be swapped back in for execution when a context-swap event occurs and it is its turn to run. Thus, from the point of view of a single context's instruction stream, the microword after issuing the mem reference does not get executed until the reference completes.
A second mechanism is Delayed Synchronization. In delayed synchronization, the microengine issues the reference, and continues to execute some other useful work independent of the reference. Some time later it could become necessary to synchronize the program thread's execution stream to the completion of the issued reference before further work is performed. At this point a synchronizing microword is executed that will either swap out the current program thread, and swap it back in sometime later when the reference has completed, or continue executing the current program thread because the reference has already completed. Delayed synchronization is implemented using two different signaling schemes:
If the memory reference is associated with a transfer register, the signal from which the program thread is triggered is generated when the corresponding transfer register valid bit is set or cleared. For example, an SRAM read which deposits data into transfer register A would be signaled when the valid bit for A is set. If the memory reference is associated with the transfer FIFO or the receive FIFO, instead of a transfer register, then the signal is generated when the reference completes in the SDRAM controller 26 a. Only one signal state per context is held in the microengines scheduler, thus only one outstanding signal can exist in this scheme.
Referring to
The order queue 90 c maintains the order of reference requests from the microengines. With a series of odd and even banks references it may be required that a signal is returned only upon completion of a sequence of memory references to both the odd and even banks. If the microengine 22 f sorts the memory references into odd bank and even bank references and one of the banks, e.g., the even bank is drained of memory references before the odd bank but the signal is asserted on the last even reference, the memory controller 26 a could conceivably signal back to a microengine that the memory request had completed, even though the odd bank reference had not been serviced. This occurrence could cause a coherency problem. The order queue 90 c allows a microengine to have multiple memory references outstanding of which only its last memory reference needs to signal a completion.
The SDRAM controller 26 a also includes a high priority queue 90 d. In the high priority queue 90 d, an incoming memory reference from one of the microengines goes directly to the high priority queue and is operated upon at a higher priority than other memory references in the other queues. All of these queues, the even bank queue 90 a, the odd bank queue 90 b, the order queue 90 c and the high priority queue, are implemented in a single RAM structure that is logically segmented into four different windows, each window having its own head and tail pointer. Since filling and draining operations are only a single input and a single output, they can be placed into the same RAM structure to increase density of RAM structures.
The SDRAM controller 26 a also includes core bus interface logic i.e., ASB bus 92. The ASB bus interface logic 92 interfaces the core processor 20 to the SDRAM controller 26 a. If there is incoming data from the core processor 20 via ASB interface 92, the data can be stored into the MEM ASB device 98 and subsequently removed from MEM ASB device 98 through the SDRAM interface 110 to SDRAM memory 16 a. Although not shown, the same queue structure can be provided for the reads. The SDRAM controller 26 a also includes an engine 97 to pull data from the microengines and PCI bus.
Additional queues include the PCI address queue 94 and ASB read/write queue 96 that maintain a number of requests. The memory requests are sent to SDRAM interface 110 via multiplexer 106. The multiplexer 106 is controlled by the SDRAM arbiter 91 which detects the fullness of each of the queues and the status of the requests and from that decides priority based on a programmable value stored in a priority service control register 100.
Referring to
The SRAM controller 26 b also includes core bus interface logic i.e., ASB bus 122. The ASB bus interface logic 122 interfaces the core processor 20 to the SRAM controller 26 b. The SRAM controller 26 b also includes an engine 127 to pull data from the microengines and PCI bus.
The memory requests are sent to SRAM interface 140 via multiplexer 126. The multiplexer 126 is controlled by the SRAM arbiter 131 which detects the fullness of each of the queues and the status of the requests and from that decides priority based on a programmable value stored in a priority service control register 130. Once control to the multiplexer 126 selects a memory reference request, the memory reference request, is sent to a decoder 138 where it is decoded and an address is generated.
The SRAM Unit maintains control of the Memory Mapped off-chip SRAM and Expansion ROM. The SRAM controller 26 b can address, e.g., 16 MBytes, with, e.g., 8 MBytes mapped for SRAM 16 b, and 8 MBytes reserved for special functions including: Boot space via flashrom 16 c; and Console port access for MAC devices 13 a, 13 b and access to associated (RMON) counters. The SRAM is used for local look-up tables and queue management functions.
The SRAM controller 26 b supports the following transactions:
The address and command queue 120 also includes a Read Lock Fail Queue 120 d. The Read Lock Fail Queue 120 d is used to hold read memory reference requests that fail because of a lock existing on a portion of memory.
Referring to
The FBI 28 contains a Transmit FIFO 182, a Receive FIFO 183, a HASH unit 188 and FBI control and status registers 189. These four units communicate with the microengines 22, via a time-multiplexed access to the SRAM bus 38 which is connected to the transfer registers 78, 80 in the microengines. That is, all communications to and from the microengines are via the transfer registers 78, 80. The FBUS interface 28 includes a push state machine 200 for pushing data into the transfer registers during the time cycles which the SRAM is NOT using the SRAM data bus (part of bus 38) and a pull state machine 202 for fetching data from the transfer registers in the respective microengine.
The Hashing unit includes a pair of FIFO's 188 a, 188 b. The hash unit determines that the FBI 28 received an FBI_hash request. The hash unit 188 fetches hash keys from the calling microengine 22. After the keys are fetched and hashed, the indices are delivered back to the calling microengine 22. Up to three hashes are performed under a single FBI_hash request. The busses 34 and 38 are each unidirectional: SDRAM_push/pull_data, and Sbus_push/pull_data. Each of these busses require control signals which will provide read/write controls to the appropriate microengine 22 Transfer registers.
Generally, transfer registers require protection from the context controlling them to guarantee read correctness. In particular, if a write transfer register is being used by a thread_1 to provide data to the SDRAM 16 a, thread_1 does not overwrite this register until the signal back from SDRAM controller 26 a indicates that this register has been promoted and may now be re-used. Every write does not require a signal back from the destination indicating that the function has been completed, because if the program thread writes to the same command queue at that destination with multiple requests, the order of the completion is guaranteed within that command queue, thus only the last command requires the signaling back to the program thread. However, if the program thread uses multiple command queues (order and read), then these command requests are broken into separate context tasks, so that ordering is maintained via context swapping. The exception case indicated at the beginning of this paragraph is relative to a certain class of operations using an unsolicited PUSH to transfer registers from the FBI for FBUS status information. In order to protect read/write determinism on the transfer registers, the FBI provides a special Push_protect signal when these special FBI push operations are set up.
Any microengine 22 that uses the FBI unsolicited push technique must test the protection flag prior to accessing the FBUS interface/microengine agreed upon transfer registers. If the flag is not asserted, then the transfer registers may be accessed by the microengines 22. If the flag is asserted then the context should wait N cycles prior to accessing the registers. This count is determined a priori by the number of transfer registers being pushed, plus a frontend protection window. The microengine tests this flag then moves the data from the read transfer registers to GPR's in contiguous cycles, so the push engine does not collide with the microengine read.
Thread Signaling for Packet Processing
Special techniques such as inter-thread communications to communicate status, a self destruct register 210 to allow program threads to self assign tasks and a thread_done register 212 to provide a global program thread communication scheme are used for packet processing. The destruct register 210 and a thread_done register 212 can be implemented as control and status registers 189. They are shown in the FBUS interface 28 outside of the block labeled CSR for clarity. Network functions are implemented in the network processor using a plurality of program threads e.g., contexts to process network packets. For example, scheduler program threads could be executed in one of the microprogram engines e.g., 22 a whereas, processing program threads could execute in the remaining engines e.g., 22 b–22 f . The program threads (processing or scheduling program threads) use inter-thread communications to communicate status.
Program threads are assigned specific tasks such as receive and transmit scheduling, receive processing, and transmit processing, etc. Task assignment and task completion are communicated between program threads through the inter-thread signaling, registers with specialized read and write. characteristics, e.g., the self-destruct register 210 and the thread-done register 212, SRAM 16 b and data stored in the internal scratchpad memory 186 (
The network processor 10 includes a general context communication signaling protocol that allows any context to set a signal that any other context can detect. This allows cooperating program threads to use a semaphore and thus coordinate using micro-code controlled processing.
Processing of network packets can use multiple program threads. Typically, for network processing there is a receive scheduler, a transmit scheduler and processing program threads. A scheduler (either receive or transmit) program thread coordinates amounts of work to be done and sequence of work by processing program threads. The scheduler program thread assigns tasks to processing program threads and in some cases processing program threads can assign tasks to other processing program threads. For instance, a scheduler determines which ports need service and assigns and coordinates tasks to processing program threads to overcome inherent memory latency by processing multiple program threads in parallel.
In some examples, with slow ports one processing program thread may perform processing on a portion of a packet and a second processing program thread processes the remainder of the packet or in some cases the scheduler uses the next available program thread. With faster ports e.g., Gigabit ports where 64 byte packets are received very fast, the scheduler can assign M packets to the next available program thread. The program threads signal each other as to what part of a packet the program thread has processed and its status.
A program thread can be assigned to process the first 64 bytes of a packet. When the program thread is finish, the program thread has data to set signals to wake up the next program thread has been assigned to process the next 64 bytes. The program thread may write a register and an address of the register in a pre-assigned memory location, e.g., scratch register. The program thread sets signals to wake up the next program thread that has been assigned to work on the next bytes of the packet.
Referring to
Referring to
The receive scheduler initiates 242 a receive operation of e.g., 64 or 128 bytes of input data by sending a command to the FBI interface 28 that specifies a port from which to extract the data and the Receive FIFO element to use to buffer that data as well as the microengine context to be notified once the receive data has been fetched.
The receive scheduler thread 244 sends a signal to the specified microengine program thread that activates a specified context. The context reads the FBI Receive Control register to obtain the necessary receive information for processing (i.e. port, Receive FIFO element location, byte count, start of packet, end of packet, error status). If a start of packet is indicated the receive scheduler program thread is responsible for determining where in SDRAM to store the data, (i.e., the output queue to insert the packet) and writing the packet data into SDRAM. If it is not the start of a packet, then the receive program thread determines where the earlier data of this packet was stored in order to continue processing 246 of the packet. When the end of packet indication is received 248 (or after the first 64 byte section if receive to transmit latency is optimized) the receive program thread adds the packet to the queue determined by processing the packet header.
The program threads also communicate with a shared resource through a bit set and bit clear mechanism that provides a bit vector. This mechanism allows setting and clearing of individual bits and performing a test and set on individual bits to control a shared resource. The bit vector signals the non-emptiness of output queues. When a receive program thread enqueues a packet, the receive scheduler sets 250 a bit. The transmit scheduler can examine the bit vector to determine the state all queues.
The bit set and bit clear operations on the bit vector, can occur in either scratchpad RAM or SRAM. If the scheduler is communicating between program threads on the same microengine 22, the bit vector can be stored in the register set because each context can read the other context's registers. For example, an empty or not empty status of each output queue is support by a bit vector in internal scratchpad memory. When a receive program thread enqueues a packet, the receive program thread uses the scratch pad bit-set command to set a bit in the queue status bit vector to indicate the queue now has at least one entry. The transmit arbiter scans 270 the queue bit vector for non empty queues (e.g., bitx set) to determine packets that are ready to be transmitted. When removing 272 a packet from a queue for transmit if the queue empties 274, the transmit arbiter issues 276 a bit-clear command to the corresponding bit of the queue bit vector.
Referring to
For example, the scheduler can use the two bit status "01" to indicate that data was moved to SDRAM, processing of packet is still in progress and pointers were saved; bits 10 can indicate that data was moved to SDRAM, processing of packet is still in progress and pointers were not saved; and bits 11 can indicates packet processing is completed. Thus, the states 296 a can be used by the receiver scheduler program thread to assign 297 a another thread to process a task when data becomes available, whereas, states 296 b can be used by the receive scheduler to assign 297 b the same thread to continue processing when the data is available.
The exact interpretation of the message can be fixed by a software convention determined between a scheduler program thread and processing program threads called by the scheduler program thread. That is the status messages can change depending on whether the convention is for receive, as above, transmit, and so forth. In general, the status messages include "busy", "not busy", "not busy but waiting." The status message of "not busy, but waiting" signals that the current program thread has completed processing of a portion of a packet and is expected to be assigned to perform a subsequent task on the packet when data is made available. It can be used when the program thread is expecting data from a port and has not saved context so it should process the rest of that packet.
The scheduler program thread reads the "thread done" register to determine the completion status of tasks it assigned to other program threads. The "thread done" register is implemented as a write one to clear register, allowing the scheduler to clear just the fields it has recognized.
It is to be understood that while the invention has been described in conjunction with the detailed description thereof, the foregoing description is intended to illustrate and not limit the scope of the invention, which is defined by the scope of the appended claims.

Bad Breath – Symptoms And Diagnosis
Bad breath which in medical terms is known as Halitosis which is a bad smell coming out of mouth with breathing. This problem could either be transient which means it disappears after eating, brushing teeth or using mouth wash or it could be persistent and it is a serious condition. Intensity of bad breath differs from time to time and is at peak upon awakening because of exposure to less oxygen and inactiveness of mouth.
This problem is mostly located on tongue. Bacteria are found in large quantity on those parts of tongue where they are not disturbed by normal activity and they feed on leftover particle of or dead cells. Anaerobic respiration of such bacteria produces bad smell.
Although bacteria mostly are present on the back of the tongue, but dozens of types of bacteria are also present in different portions of mouth and are able to produce foul odors as a result of break down of proteins into amino acids.
Bad breath may also occur due to presence of sinus infections and foreign bodies in air exiting nostrils. Tonsils can also disseminate some bad odor, but are minor cause of bad breath. Some non-oral situations may also cause bad smell coming out of mouth and include liver failure, lungs infections, renal infection, fish odor syndrome, improper metabolism, and use of dental tools like braces. In addition, people smoking cigarettes are very often a victim of bad breath.
Some common symptoms of bad breath are emergence of bad smell from mouth; patients usually have a bad taste as well. Dryness of mouth is another symptom. The individual suffering from this disease feels that his tongue is coated with something.
Diagnosis can be made by patient himself or by taking advice of some professional. In self-diagnosis, patient either takes into confidence some close friends or sibling to check whether smell is coming from mouth or nose or by licking back of wrist than smelling it when dried. One other way is to slightly scrape back of tongue with some disposable spoon and smelling it. To check presence of sulfur compounds may also be checked and you can use some products available in the market for this purpose.
There are a lot of techniques available for professional diagnosis of the problem. One method is the use of portable sulfide monitor to monitor sulfur content in breath air. Gas chromatography is another portable machine which is used to digitally measure hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulfide in breath and this is a very accurate method. BANA test checks presence of bacteria causing bad breath. Galactosidase test is also available to serve the purpose.
Persistent bad breath is warning symptom of gum disease which is caused by developing of plaque in teeth. This gum disease could lead to serious results of damage to jaws and gums as written The Bad Breath Report. Another issue related to bad breath is yeast infection of mouth. Dryness of mouth is also caused by bad breath. Further, problems of pneumonia, sinus infection, liver and kidney problems and diabetes are also associated with bad breath. Other than health issues, it also possess several social harms which include self embarrassment and loss of confidence.

Weighing the Chances At Life's EndFriday, March 9th, 2012
In a thought a provoking blog based upon research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, Paula Span discusses the difficulty in surrogate decision making when a loved one is nearing the end of their life. Though typically assumed to be a communication error, the disconnect between what doctors tell loved ones about the patients chances and what they hear may more likely be caused by an optimistic bias in favor of a good outcome. The caretakers do understand what they are being told, they simply tend to believe their loved one will beat the odds. Read more below:
CyberKnife Used to Treat Facial Chronic Pain DisorderMonday, January 9th, 2012
At 43 years old, Heidi Therrien did not wish to be retired and isolated in her home. However, a pain condition she developed nearly a decade ago had forced her to do so. She began having pains in her face, and having years of searching for the cause she was finally diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia, a chronic condition that affects the nerves of the face, causing typical activities such as walking through the freezer section of a grocery store or brushing your teeth to be excruciating. She could not find non-surgical relief until she met with Dr. Kevin Yiee, who offered to use the CyberKnife. Although typically used for cancer, the tool focuses radiation on a very small area, and Dr. Yiee used it on her facial nerves affected by her disorder. She has since had vast improvements in her pain and is hoping to return to work.
BioDelivery Sells Licensing For New Chronic Pain TreatmentMonday, January 9th, 2012
BioDelivery, a research company, has developed a treatment for chronic pain that involves a thin film strip being applied to the inside of the cheek, where it will dissolve in less than thirty minutes. The company has stated that this type of treatment is most relevant for pain patients that need rapid delivery, cannot take oral doses, or have problems with injections and intravenous lines. Endo Pharma agreed to pay up to $180 million for the licensing rights to develop and sell the drug, which is in the late stages of research.
Effectively Treating Pain with New Anti-Aging ApproachMonday, December 19th, 2011
On December 11th, the largest medical conference focused on the new anti-aging to age-related issues, titled A4M, began in Las Vegas. Dr Norm Shealy will be discussing Energy medicine, while other conference tracks will present on the metabolic approach to pain control and causes of chronic pain. A local company will also be revealing the RITM Scenar, a new technological breakthrough designed to use the body's own healing ability to naturally ease pain.
105 year old stockbroker who is still workingFriday, December 16th, 2011
Irving Kahn has been a stock broker since 1928 (a year before the great depression) and has been trading stocks ever since. Scientist have conducted studies on him in order to identify the secret behind his longevity. They discovered that Mr. Kahn has a gene that may explain why he and his siblings have lived past the age of 100. Check out the link below to learn more about his incredible story.
Marijuana, Narcotics Help Patients Reduce Chronic PainFriday, December 16th, 2011
University of California San Francisco has published a study reporting that medical marijuana, in combination with certain opiates, can safely and effectively help diminish chronic pain in sufferers. The group tested cannabinoids inhaled through a vaporizer in combination with morphine and oxycodone, which had the effect of further reducing pain in the patients by 33% and 20% respectively. The doctors who created this study find it upsetting that after sixteen years of medical marijuana being available to the "sick and dying" in California, the elderly and the sick still have problems finding access. All involved called for further research on the drug to see what other medical properties it might have.
A Woman's Personal Persepective on Rheumatoid ArthritisFriday, December 16th, 2011
A recent post from the Huffington Post's chronic pain blog presents Chaunte Smith's personal experience with the condition and addresses methods that women can use to be proactive about RA treatment. Here is an excerpt from the post: " Smith, who comes out of a background in the pharmaceutical industry, intuited that something other than first time motherhood was at play. She said, "I could barely walk. I couldn't pick up my newborn." She connected with a rheumatologist, and in tandem they determined what her course of treatment would be. Smith knew that she wanted to have a second child, and her choice of medications was informed by that fact."

Chronic pain is common child complaint, study findsMonday, December 12th, 2011
In an article published in the December issue of the journal Pain, researchers in Nova Scotia have reported that a comprehensive review of 41 studies on pain in children published since 1991 have revealed that children and adolescents experience similar levels of chronic pain as adults. Though typically considered an adult affliction, chronic pain conditions such as frequent headaches and stomach pain occurs in many children. Understanding the patterns of pain in children might help to alleviate their suffering as well as further our understanding of chronic pain in adults.
Amp Orthopedics Initiates Clinical Trial in Knee Osteoarthritis PainFriday, December 9th, 2011
Amp Orthopedics has announced a clinical trial for a device to treat people with mild to moderate knee pain from osteaoarthritis (OA). The trial is a randomized, sham-controlled, double-blind study of 150 patients aimed to test the safety and effectiveness of the company's non-thermal pulsed radio frequency (PRF) technology to ameliorate pain. The study is being conducted by Mytrus, a company considered revolutionary in that it directly recruits candidates for trials through the internet using tools such as social media sites. The results of the trial should be published in 2012.

(Entertainment Tonight)- ET caught up with the E! network's biggest stars Monday night at their annual Upfronts in New York City, where Chelsea Handler gave us an update on her pal Reese Witherspoon after her arrest Friday for disorderly conduct in the wake of her husband Jim Toth's DUI arrest.
"She's doing fine. She's doing fine, you know?" Handler said. "She's just trying to protect her husband, so ... I mean, everybody makes mistakes so it's not a big deal."
But as for her respecting her own privacy, Handler characteristically could care less.
"I'm not really a private person so it doesn't really matter," she put bluntly. "I'm not one of those girls who are like, 'I can't talk about that!'"
Aside from Handler, the biggest stars of the night were unsurprisingly the Kardashians -- specifically a pregnant Kim.
"I'm not even thinking about that right now, I'm just really enjoying my relationship," Kim said about the prospect of getting married again to boyfriend Kanye West. "When the time comes, it will happen, but I'm definitely taking my time."
The reality superstar also debunked the rumors that her and Kanye barely see one another.
"We make sure that we make the time to see each other, every two weeks at least," she said. "We're in a great relationship and that's really all you could ask for."
Check out the video to see if Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick are ever embarrassed about their on-screen fights, Ryan Seacrest on if we're in store for another Kim Kardashian wedding special and E!'s newest reality star Ryan Lochte on his motivation for having a reality show.

Charlie Bartlett
"If you want to be free ..."
By John DeSando, WCBE's It's Movie Time
A film that refers to Harold and Maude more than once through its signature Cat Stevens' lyric "If you want to sing out, sing out/And if you want to be free, be free" is going to win my heart no matter how unspectacular its screenplay or derivative its plot. The similarities to Rushmore and Ferris Buhler with a bit of Risky Business don't hurt although it is not witty enough to be remembered as those three are.
The titular 18 year old Charlie Bartlett becomes de facto counselor to his public high school mates after the privileged iconoclast has been kicked out of the available private schools.
Cat Stevens fits because Charlie and his troubled teens are trying to figure out where they fit in the scheme of life, always hoping for the elusive freedom; Charlie happens to have the wit and resources to help them better than the equally lost adults. Of that latter group, Robert Downey, Jr.'s principal Gardner has failed since he gave up his successful post as history teacher.
Charlie's mom is a well-meaning, doting, and mildly clueless sweetheart, much more attractive and loving than Harold's rich but distant mother. Both boys and mothers are in the clich?d spot of being without dads and husbands, allowing them to screw up in eccentric ways and retreat to their mansions.
The film has some serious takes on teen obsessions such as their aversion to being spied on (principal has installed video cams) and filming themselves as in YouTube type uploading. The relationship between parents and children is also sobering since unlike in Juno, no facile settling down occurs for anyone, with the exception of the stock teen "fits-in" ending.
So everyone has to figure out a role and play it right. While the film does see characters through to their destinies, the script has few sparkling words of inspiration for the appreciative teen audience. Maybe that's the message itself: If you want to be free, you have to earn it yourself.
John DeSando teaches film at Franklin University and co-hosts WCBE 90.5's It's Movie Time, which can be heard streaming at www.wcbe.org Fridays at 3:01 pm and 8:01 pm and on demand anytime. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com

The definition of Fixed Interest Rate Mortgages
A fixed rate mortgage is a loan where you pay the same interest rate for the whole duration of the loan. Generally fixed rate loans are for about thirty years, but you can also get them for 20 or 15 years. You'll usually get a lower interest rate if you have a 15 or 20 fixed rate mortgage; maybe a half a percent lower than a thirty year loan. The total monthly payment in a 15 – 20 year fixed rate mortgage will likely be higher than a longer term loan because you'll have to make larger payments to pay off the loan within the shorter period of time. A benefit of a short term loan is that you'll pay less in the long run than you would with a longer period loan. A longer mortgage will give you lower monthly payments, but if you can afford the higher monthly payments, you'll end up saving quite a bit of money and build equity quicker if you do a shorter fixed rate mortgage. As an example: The interest paid overall for a $150,000 mortgage over 15 years at 6.1 percent, paying $1274 per month is $79,300 total in interest. The interest paid overall for a $150,000 mortgage over 30 years at 6.6 percent, paying $962 per month is $117,000 total in interest. A benefit of having a fixed rate mortgage is that your monthly payments stay consistent through the life of the loan. This makes your loan easier to plan around, and easier to understand. One difficulty in having a fixed mortgage rate is that it is not easy to take full advantage of dropping interest rates. If you wanted to do this you'd have to refinance, resulting in more costs and paperwork. Another con is that if mortgage interest rates are high they can be costly because there are no initial mortgage rate cuts. Furthermore, a fixed rate mortgage loan is quite standard between lenders so there is not much room for custom designing your loan.

Gloucester boxer Danny Carter's brave show against Andy Keates at GL1
Posted: April 27, 2014|
Gloucester's courageous Danny Carter put up a tremendous challenge for the vacant British Masters Silver light welterweight title against Andy Keates at the GL1 Centre on Saturday night but was ultimately pulled out of the fight in round seven by trainer Jon Pitman in the seventh round.
The well-supported Carter got off to a dream start in the opening session of the ten-round bout when he caught Keates with a picture-perfect left hook which landed the Stoke fighter on the seat of his pants.
But as Danny sensed the title was close and steamed in looking for a knockout finish, Keates exploited the gaps in the defence of the Gloucester fighter and was able to catch the shorter Carter with stunning salvos of punches. The pace was frantic and both fighters were exchanging vicious barrages of leather.
The previously-unbeaten Carter's bravery was unquestionable in the following rounds. He was being hit and hurt often by hard and clean punches but he refused to call off his own attack. His hooks were too wide and time and again Keates' efforts were landing first.
By the fourth round, even though Danny's face was a mask of crimson red and his legs were beginning to fail him, he tried desperately to turn the fight in his favour by loading up big hooks around Keates' guard.
Amazingly, Danny took the sixth round through sheer heart and determination but it was to be his last hurrah. A left hook at the body in the next round floored Carter and although he had the pride of beating the count, trainer Jon Pitman rightly and compassionately threw the towel in.
Despite suffering his first career defeat after five straight wins, Danny can take comfort in a monumentally brave performance in a classic fight that will live long in the memory.
Todd Roberts, now billed out of Cheltenham, made a winning return to the ring on the under card when he outpointed Tamworth's Matt Seawright over four rounds.
Todd, who had been out of action for 11 months and changed his trainers several times, was made to work hard by the tricky and awkward Seawright and also had to contend with a cut left eye. But Roberts remained calm and boxed well to receive a 40-37 point win on the scorecard of scoring referee Martin Williams.
"It is great to be back and a massive weight off my shoulders. Seawright made me work for the win and he knows all the tricks of an old pro."
Gloucestershire's Wayne Ingram and Mike Biggs had both been scheduled to appear on the card but their respective fights were cancelled.

Bungie's Destiny will not be released in 2013 according to an official statement released by the game's publisher Activision
More details continue to emerge about Bungie's shared world shooter Destiny, following its reveal at the developer's studio last week in Bellvue, Washington. An offical statement from the game's publisher, Activision, says that Destinty won't be released in 2013. The publisher said, "Although Bungie's amazing new world was revealed today, Activision has not included the launch in its 2013 outlook and there should be no speculation or expectation of a different result". So there you go: no Destiny launch scheduled for this year.
The statement went on to reiterate that the new game is confirmed for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles, but also added that it would also land on next-gen machines. "Bungie's new next-generation game engine will allow Destiny to come to life on both the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, as well as other future console platforms," Activision said.
You can read the entire statement here. If industry analysts are right and the next generation of consoles is set to arrive in 2013, then it's likely that Destiny will not be a launch title.

PolyDay campaign support from community, campus totals $146,500
PolyDay campaign support from community, campus totals $146,500
SPSU wrapped up its first-ever corporate-community-campus fund raising campaign on PolyDay, Oct. 8, with a reception attended by the university's community partners in addition to trustees, alumni and faculty and staff members.
Shan Cooper, vice president and Marietta site general manager of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company – the top employer of SPSU graduates – delivered a ringing endorsement of SPSU during the celebration at the Globe, noting that when Lockheed hires an SPSU graduate, "We know that we're getting the best of the best, the best and the brightest."
President Lisa A. Rossbacher said total giving to the campaign amounted to $146,510 as of Oct. 8, including $59,910 contributed by SPSU faculty and staff and $86,600 from alumni, civic and professional organizations and businesses in the Cobb community.
The faculty and staff annual fund recorded its highest gift total ever under the leadership of Prof. Scott Larisch of electrical and computer engineering technology (faculty chair) and Kenneth Shelton of facilities (staff chair). The participation rate was 52 percent, and there was 100 percent participation by Strategic Marketing & Sustainability Initiatives, the Office of the President, University Information Technology Services, the Career and Counseling Center, Advancement, Auxiliary Services and SPSU Police.
"We look forward to making PolyDay an annual event and to celebrating continued private support for higher education – a vital piece in the overall funding of Southern Polytechnic," said Dr. Rossbacher.
The Advancement Office is still accepting contributions to the annual fund, but they can no longer be made through payroll deductions this year.

It is said to be full of piles of gold and jewels, a place where wishes are granted, wounds are healed, prophets have dreams that come true, and suspected criminals are fairly judged. Pilgrims from the other end of the world have been known to travel for more then a year, braving the perils of disease, brigands and bad weather, just to reach it's holy waters.

There's no comparison. We made the switch about a year ago. Once you get past the learning curve, you are going to love it. Everything ties together seamlessly. No draw backs at all other than having to train tour video guy.
If you've made the switch from Media Shout to Pro Presenter:
1. What motivated the switch?
2. What's better now that you're on Pro Presenter?
3. What's worse?
4. Any additional advice?
There's no comparison. We made the switch about a year ago. Once you get past the learning curve, you are going to love it. Everything ties together seamlessly. No draw backs at all other than having to train tour video guy.
I'm also interested in this. We're on Media Shout right now (not a big fan of it) and we're looking at switching to Pro Presenter.
I'm interested in getting ProPresenter for my Church. Want to know can it display on 2 screens with the iMac, or do I need to get a MacPro with a extra video card?
- firstname.lastname@example.com
You just use the mini-displayport on your iMac for your second output, and a USB adapter for your stage display.
You can do two screens with the same content using a distribution amp, or an extra wide image across 2 screens with the DualHead2Go adapter on that second output; and you can get a little variety on the two screens with the advanced module and the DualHead2Go.

We made the switch primarily because of Mac. PP is much more simple than MS, but both do the job well. It really comes down to a PC/Mac decision, IMO.
I just purchased my first MacBook Pro and have downloaded the demo of PP. Mediashout worked but Windows did not.
I am struggling with the Lyrics. I think MS did this very well and it was simple. I must be missing something. How do I break up Verse 1 into two slides and how do I easily place the song in the order that they will play for the day? I do not see a way to place V1 in more than once. I know I will like this but the learning curve of Mac and PP is killing me! ; )
Any help is appreciated. I do thing PP4 has advanced features over that of MS.
We made the switch about four months ago in our main worship center and our two ancillary rooms. Our main issue was stability as MediaShout would have some sort of critical error every other week during our services....I don't think we've crashed with ProPresenter yet!
It does take a little while to get used to the interface but once you get a feel for it it's so much more intuitive than MediaShout.
Command/Option and click and drag the slide. That will copy it to the location you drag it to.
I recommend you go to Renewed Vision and watch their tutorials and then join their forums. There is all the information you will need to have a productive PP experience!

MANILA, Philippines - Actress Heart Evangelista has merely dismissed speculations that her boyfriend Sen. Chiz Escudero is allegedly using her popularity for his own political gain.
In a candid interview with PEP posted on Nov. 5, she pointed out, "Okey lang. Bahala na sila. Hindi naman sila ang kinikilig, e!"
According to Heart, she just wanted to "keep things private" between them "kasi ayoko ng mga intriga."
"But then again, you know... business ko 'yon (relationship), e," she said.
In any case, Heart would rather take no notice of such intrigues because "wala namang magagawa sa akin 'yon eh."
She added, "I'm always going to be open, I'm always going to be honest. But I won't be as public as before. I'm happy like that."
It was only in early October when the senator admitted his romantic relationship with the actress; but according to the latter, they've been a couple for "siguro mga two to three months."
Asked if she ever considered being a "politician's wife," Heart replied that the thought hasn't even crossed her mind. "I'd like to enjoy what I have now. I've learned my lesson. We'll never know. Kung mangyayari, mangyayari. Kung hindi, hindi," she was quoted as saying.
Meanwhile, the actress revealed in a taped interview aired on "Unang Hirit," Tuesday, that she and Sen. Chiz get to be with each other "almost everyday" to bond over "movies, music, [and] really nice conversation," among others.
"I'm learning more pero it's not something that, parang, we always talk about. Sometimes in passing, like with my work, ganyan. So may natututunan siya sa 'kin, may natututunan din ako sa kanya," she said.

MADISON - Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced that the Wisconsin Department of Justice has joined forces with a number of federal agencies and other states in a nationwide effort to combat immigration services scams. The initiative, called "Combating Immigrations Services Scams," targets illegal activity by immigration service providers, including the unauthorized practice of law by persons claiming to provide legal assistance to immigrants (such as "notarios"), and other illegal practices that victimize immigrants.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice recently obtained a judgment against a Milwaukee resident, Hugo I. Loyo, and his company, Credenciales USA, LLC for marketing and selling fake international driver's licenses and state identification cards in Milwaukee County by falsely claiming that the identification cards authorized consumers to drive legally in the United States and could be used as valid photo IDs. The defendants were ordered to pay $385,519.90 and are enjoined from conducting business in further violation of the law.
"Not only is this type of conduct illegal, but it deliberately preys upon vulnerable consumers," Attorney General Van Hollen said. "My office will continue to work with other state and federal agencies to prevent and curtail immigration services scams."
The targets of these scams are generally immigrants with limited English language proficiency. In an effort to educate these consumers, the federal government has prepared informational materials in a variety of languages, including sources of legitimate immigration-related assistance. Those materials are available here:
Attorney General Van Hollen encourages anyone who believes there may be immigration services fraud occurring in Wisconsin to contact the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection's Consumer Information Hotline. The Hotline can be contacted by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or by a toll-free telephone call to 1-800-422-7128.
