The invention relates generally to memory modules for computer systems. More particularly, the invention relates to techniques for system level negotiation of an operating mode of a memory module by dynamic control of the presence detect data.
Computer memory comes in two basic forms: Random Access Memory (hereinafter RAM) and Read-Only Memory (hereinafter ROM). RAM is generally used by a processor for reading and writing data. RAM memory is volatile typically, meaning that the data stored in the memory is lost when power is removed. ROM is generally used for storing data which will never change, such as the Basic Input/Output System (hereinafter BIOS). ROM memory is non-volatile typically, meaning that the data stored in the memory is not lost even if power is removed from the memory.
Generally, RAM makes up the bulk of the computer system's memory, excluding the computer system's hard-drive, if one exists. RAM typically comes in the form of dynamic RAM (hereinafter DRAM) which requires frequent recharging or refreshing to preserve its contents. Organizationally, data is typically arranged in bytes of 8 data bits. An optional 9th bit, a parity bit, acts as a check on the correctness of the values of the other eight bits.
As computer systems become more advanced, there is an ever increasing demand for DRAM memory capacity. Consequently, DRAM memory is available in module form, in which a plurality of memory chips are placed on a small circuit card, which card then plugs into a memory socket connected to the computer motherboard or memory carrier card. Examples of commercial memory modules are SIMMs (Single In-line Memory Modules) and DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules).
In addition to an ever increasing demand for DRAM capacity, different computer systems may also require different memory operating modes. Present memories are designed with different modes and operational features such as fast page mode (FPM), extended data out (EDO), synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), double data rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM), parity and non-parity, error correcting (ECC) and non error correcting, to name a few. Memories also are produced with a variety of performance characteristics such as access speeds, refresh times and so on. Further still, a wide variety of basic memory architectures are available with different device organizations, addressing requirements and logical banks. As a result, some memory modules may or may not have features that are compatible with a particular computer system.
In order to address some of the problems associated with the wide variety of memory chip performance, operational characteristics and compatibility with system requirements, memory modules are being provided with presence detect (PD) data. PD data is stored in a non-volatile memory such as an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) on the memory module. A typical PD data structure includes 256 eight bit bytes of information. Bytes 0 through 127 are generally locked by the manufacturer, while bytes 128 through 255 are available for system use. Bytes 0-35 are intended to provide an in-depth summary of the memory module architecture, allowable functions and important timing information. PD data can be read in parallel or series form, but serial PD (SPD) is already commonly in use. SPD data is serially accessed by the system memory controller during boot up across a standard serial bus such as an I2C™ bus (referred to hereinafter as an I2C controller). The system controller then determines whether the memory module is compatible with the system requirements and if it is will complete a normal boot. If the module is not compatible an error message may be issued or other action taken.
It is desired, therefore, to provide a memory module that is more flexible in terms of its compatibility with different computer systems, and particularly that permits the computer system dynamically to negotiate available memory module functions and modes.
The present invention contemplates, in one embodiment, a memory module comprising: a plurality of memory chips on the module; first logic for configuring the memory module to operate in a selectable mode; second logic for storing initial presence detect (PD) data; and third logic for storing modified PD data that corresponds to a requested mode of operation of the memory module received from a system controller.
The invention also contemplates the methods embodied in the use of such a memory module, and in another embodiment, a method for system control of an intelligent-memory module, including the steps of:
a) reading initial presence detect (PD) data from a non-volatile memory on the memory module;
b) writing modified PD data to a volatile memory based on requested operating mode; and
c) controlling transfer of the modified PD data between the memory module and a system controller based on which memory stores up-to-date PD data.
These and other aspects and advantages of the present invention will be readily understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments with the best mode contemplated for practicing the invention in view of the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a memory module for a computer system in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a flow chart for a negotiation process at the system level with a memory module using READ/WRITE PD data functions;
FIGS. 3A and 3B are flow charts illustrating another aspect of the invention pertaining to a multiple step negotiation process.
With reference to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the environment of a computer system 10. The computer system 10 can be any computer system that utilizes a memory module having presence detect (PD) data and program able or selectable memory module functions and modes. Personal computer systems, such as an IBM APTIVA� or IBM PC-300™, could be used for the computer system 10, to name just two of many examples. The computer system includes a system controller 12, and a system memory controller 14. In this embodiment, the computer system 10 further includes a module 20, as will be further described hereinafter. The memory controller 14 provides address, data and bus control signals for interfacing the CPU 12 and the memory module 20. The memory controller 14 includes logic for addressing, receiving, writing and refreshing data in a plurality of memory chips 22 on the module 20. As will be apparent from the following exemplary embodiments, however, the memory module 20 may also include logic that interfaces with or otherwise controls various functions relating to addressing and data flow with the memory chips 22.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the memory module 20 is of the type that can be generally categorized as an "intelligent" module, in that the module 20 can operate in a plurality of selectable or programmable modes. The programmable feature of the module 20 is significantly advanced beyond the conventional mode selection criteria available by use of the Mode Register function of conventional memory chips such as synchronous DRAMs (SDRAMs). The memory module 20 can include memory chips such as, for example, SDRAMs with standard Mode Register functions such as, for example, burst type, burst length and CAS Latency. Such chips are used today on memory modules such as, for example, Dual Inline Memory Modules or DIMMs. Other module architectures such as SIMMS could also be used. However, these mode register functions alone do not provide the level of flexibility needed to allow system level control to optimally interface with a number of different memory chip 22 designs and memory module 20 capabilities.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the memory module 20 includes a logic circuit 24. In the embodiment, the logic device 24 is realized in the form of an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). A suitable device for the ASIC 24 is a gate array ASIC such as TOSHIBA ASIC TC160G. Suitable SDRAM devices 22 are IBM 0316409CT3 available from IBM.
The ASIC 24 includes or communicates with a volatile memory 26. The volatile memory is used to store modified SPD data fields, as will be further explained herein.
The ASIC 24 further includes a look-up table 28 or comparable data set function that stores information about the programmable features of the memory module 20. The use of a logic circuit 24 provides the capability to include a number of system level programmable or selectable features or operating modes. For example, the ASIC 24 can be configured to allow the module 20 to operate in several addressing modes. In one embodiment, the ASIC 24 effects an address re-mapping operation. This allows the system controller 12, for example, to select or request an addressing option that is comparable with a mode available on the memory module 20. For example, SDRAM memories can include a number of banks of memory arrays. An ASIC can be configured to allow the use of a SDRAM in a system that supports only 2 bank SDRAMs, effecting an address re-mapping function. This example of a programmable or selectable feature for the memory module 20 is more fully described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/067549 entitled "ADDRESS RE-MAPPING FOR MEMORY MODULE USING PRESENCE DETECT DATA" filed on even date herewith, the entire disclosure of which is fully incorporated herein by reference and which is owned in common by the assignee of the present invention.
Other examples of selectable or programmable modes and functions that can be negotiated and effected using the present invention include, for example, changing from an unbuffered to a buffered or registered mode, and engaging or bypassing FET switches (field effect transistor) to allow a DIMM to be connected or disconnected electrically from a bus.
In order for the system controller 12 to be able to take advantage of programmable modes in the memory module 20, the system controller 12 must be able to communicate with the module 20 to effect a mode request. In accordance with a significant aspect of the present invention, a technique is provided that allows the system controller 12 to negotiate an operating mode with the memory module 20.
In the described embodiment, this negotiation is effected by the use of the presence detect function of the memory module 20.
Memory modules that use SDRAMs typically include a presence detect (PD) function. A non-volatile memory such as an EEPROM is included on the DIMM and stores a PD data field. A typical PD data field includes 256 bytes of information which are further categorized into a number of segments as follows:
The PD data in bytes 0-35 can be used by a system controller to verify compatibility of the memory module 20 and the system requirements. The PD data can be read in serial or parallel format. Although serial PD data (SPD) is used in the exemplary embodiments herein, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention can be used with parallel PD data.
The information contained in bytes 0-127 is generally locked by the manufacturer after completion of the module build and test. This ensures that the data is not corrupted or overwritten at a later time.
In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the system controller 12 accesses SPD data stored in a non-volatile memory 30. The non-volatile memory 30 may be a separate memory device such as an EEPROM, or may be a memory array that is part of the ASIC logic device 24. A suitable EEPROM with an integrated I2C bus controller (shown separately in the drawing for clarity) is a FAIRCHILD part no. NM24CO3L. The system controller 12 reads the SPD data stored in the non-volatile memory 30 (via a bus 30 b) by accessing the memory 30 through a standard I2C bus controller 32 on the memory module 20 and the system memory controller 14 which includes a corresponding I2C controller 14 a. The I2C bus 34 is an industry standard serial bus, and the I2C bus controller 32 can be, for example, a PHILLIPS part no. PCF8584 controller. The system I2C controller 14 a may be located on the system mother board or integrated into the memory controller logic 14 as in FIG. 1. The system controller 12 accesses the memory controller 14 across a standard bus 44.
The memory controller 14 communicates with the module 20 via a DATA/ADDRESS AND CONTROL bus 40. This bus 40 can interface directly with the ASIC circuit 24 as illustrated, or can interface directly with the memory chips 22, as indicated by the phantom bus 42. Data flow typically is accomplished directly between the memory controller 14 and the memory chips 22, however, in some applications the ASIC may be used to modify addresses (e.g. as is done in the above incorporated pending application for address re-mapping), or also for data formatting features such as parity, error correction and so on to name a few examples.
The present invention thus is not limited in terms of how data and control signals are exchanged between the system and the module 20, but rather more generally to how the system can negotiate an operating mode of the module. Thus, although double ended arrows are used to represent data and control flow between the ASIC 24 and the memory chips 22, this is intended to be exemplary in nature. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the particular architecture used will depend on the actual programmable features incorporated into the memory module 20. In some applications, for example, the ASIC 24 will send address and control signals to the memory chips 22, but the data will flow directly to the memory controller 14. The module I2C bus controller function can be and often is integrated with the non-volatile memory 30 and/or the ASIC device 24. In another example, the data, address and control signals will flow directly between the memory controller 14 and the memory chips 22, but the ASIC will provide other features or controls. Thus, the exact flow of signals will depend on each particular implementation, and the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1 should not be construed in a limiting sense.
The ASIC 24 also has access to data in the non-volatile memory 30, via a bus 30 a. This is provided so that the ASIC 24 can, in some applications, be used to re-write the original PD data in the non-volatile memory 30. Furthermore, in the case where the ASIC device 24 directs PD data to be read from the volatile memory 26, the appropriate control signal, such as the I2C clock, is simply withheld from the non-volatile memory 30 by the ASIC 24.
It is further noted that the various circuits indicated as discrete functional blocks, such as blocks 26, 28, 30 and 32 may be part of the overall ASIC device 24, as represented by the dashed box 24 a around those components.
The system controller 12 initially obtains the SPD data from the non-volatile memory 30 during boot-up after the computer 10 is powered up. A power on reset (POR) operation occurs which resets the logic in the memory module 20 to ensure that the preset module operation mode is initiated using the initial or original SPD data stored in the non-volatile memory 30.
It is another aspect of the invention that the system 12 can originate a negotiation of memory module 20 functions or modes "on the fly", not just during a power on sequence. Although the embodiment described herein is explained in the context of a power on or boot up sequence, this is merely for convenience of explanation, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that the techniques and apparatus described herein allow the system 12 to negotiate a module 20 mode at any time by initiating a new SPD read/write operation.
In order to effect a negotiation between the system 12 and the memory module 20, it is preferred but not required that the system controller 12 be able to ascertain whether the module 20 includes programmable features. It is contemplated that one of the PD data bytes, such as byte 61 in the address range for "Superset" will be designated to indicate that the memory module 20 has one or more programmable features (such as, for example, address re-mapping). One reason that it may not be required to include programmable information in a PD data byte is that the system 12 can be designed to request a mode change if needed and the logic device 24 could simply accept or reject the request based on the features available on the module 20. The use of a byte such as byte 61 to indicate programmable features could speed up the negotiation process, particularly where the module 20 does not have programmable features.
Based on an initial PD data from the non-volatile memory 30, the system controller 12 can compare the module 20 performance and operational features with the system requirements. This comparison can be effected by the system BIOS as is known. If the module 20 is compatible with the system 12 requirements, normal boot up and operation follows. If, however, the module 20 has module or device functions that are inconsistent with the system level requirements, and if the PD data indicates that the module 20 has one or more programmable features, then a negotiation process can be executed by the system 12. Again, the latter requirement of an affirmative indication in the PD data of programmable features is not required in order to carry out the present invention but is a preferred embodiment.
A negotiation process between the system controller 12 and the module 20 can be implemented as follows. Based on the system requirements, the system controller 12 writes or transfers modified or requested PD data to the module 20. The modified PD data corresponds with a requested operating mode or function and can be transferred by a complete PD data field write of all 255 bytes, or alternatively the system controller 12 could write data for only the PD data entries that the system controller 12 desires to change. In either case, the modified PD data is generally transmitted to the logic device 24 by the memory, controller 14 and the I2C controller 32. The ASIC logic device 24 stores the modified PD data in the volatile memory 26. A volatile memory 26 can be used to store the new PD data because when power is removed it will be preferred to effect a start up sequence with the "original" or initial PD data in the EEPROM 30. Thus, it is further contemplated that for a system level negotiation, modified or requested PD data will not be written to the EEPROM 30 because it is desirable not to lose the original PD data therein. But, alternative techniques for preserving the original PD data while using the non-volatile memory 30 for the modified PD data, and then re-writing the original PD data back to the memory 30 could be implemented if needed, although such a process may not be feasible in some applications.
After receiving the modified or requested PD data from the system controller 12, the ASIC logic device 24 can compare the new PD data and its corresponding modes or functions, with permitted modes or functions that are supported by the ASIC device 24. The permitted functions can be obtained, for example, from the look-up table 28. This process does not require a "translation" per se of PD data to corresponding functions. For example, the ASIC device 24 can be provided with a look up table 28 or other suitable stored data format that indicates PD data values that it can support. The look-up table 28 may also store data that indicates various operational parameters of the memory chips, which data can be used to analyze additional compatibility features that might otherwise not be available from the conventional PD data and mode register functions.
In the case where the modified PD data corresponds to functions supported on the module 20, the modified or new PD data is saved in the volatile memory 26 and normal start-up and operation continues under the new mode or function. Thereafter, the ASIC logic device controls the transfer of PD data either from the non-volatile memory 30 or the volatile memory 26 depending on which memory holds the most up-to-date PD data for each PD data byte. The volatile memory 26 can be designed to store all the PD data field entries, in which case PD data transfer can occur from the volatile memory 26 alone. Alternatively, the volatile memory 26 can be used to store only the new up-to-date PD data entries, in which case the ASIC device 24 will use both the non-volatile memory 30 and the volatile memory 26 to transfer PD data to the system controller 12. In the latter case, it is contemplated that the ASIC device 24 will set a "flag" bit for each SPD address that is rewritten by the system 12. This bit can then be used to direct any future "SPD READ" operations to use the PD data contained in the volatile memory 26 for those addresses.
The system controller 12 may elect to verify that the new mode or function has been entered. In this case, the system performs a READ of the PD data to verify compatible functions are in use. In general, the system controller 12 would then initiate a power on self test (POST) to ensure the memory module 20 is fully functional.
In the event that the module 20 is not programmable or does not have requested programmable functions supported by the ASIC logic device 24, the system controller 12 will continue the boot up process with appropriate diagnostics or other initialization processes as normally occurs when incompatible memory devices are detected during power up.
With reference to FIG. 2, a suitable control process in accordance with the invention is provided. At step 200 a POR sequence is performed to initialize the memory module 20. At step 202 the system controller 12 accesses the initial PD data stored in the non-volatile memory 30. In the described embodiment, step 202 is a serial PD READ operation via the I2C bus 34 and I2C-controller 32.
At step 204 the system controller 12 determines whether the initial operating modes and functions of the memory module 20 are compatible with system level requirements. If YES, normal operation continues at step 206. If NO, the system controller 12 at step 208 writes modified or new PD data to the memory module 2b, which new PD data is stored in the volatile memory 26. Shown in dashed lines on FIG. 2 is a related step 208 a for systems wherein a PD data entry is used as a flag or marker to indicate to the system controller 12 whether the module 20 supports programmable functions or modes. If NO, the system enters its normal diagnostic and configuration functions at step 210 under control of the BIOS.
At step 212 the ASIC logic device 24 determines whether the requested function, as indicated by the modified PD data, is supported on the memory module 20. If YES, the up-to-date PD data is stored (step 214) and provided during subsequent READ operations (step 216) during normal operation (step 206). If the requested function is not supported by the memory module 20 as determined at step 212, the system enters the normal diagnostic/configuration functions at step 210, as is the case from step 208 a if the module 20 is not programmable. Note that at step 214 the a requested mode change is also effected. It is at this point, for example, that the system may perform a self-test to verify that the requested change has been implemented.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 2 illustrates a negotiation process involving a single request step by the system controller 12. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the negotiation process can include a number of exchanges between the system 12 and the ASIC 24 in an attempt to find a compatible set of operating parameters. This aspect of the invention assumes that the memory module includes programmable features.
FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate this aspect of the invention. FIG. 3A shows a suitable process flow for the system 12 and FIG. 3B shows a suitable process flow for the memory module 20, in particular the ASIC control 24. Note that the functions identified in FIG. 2 can also be incorporated as required for the alternative embodiment, with FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrating additional and/or alternative steps for carrying out a multiple step negotiation process.
In essence, the system controller 12 makes a number of attempts to find a compatible configuration within the programmable features of the DIMM. This is effected in the FIGS. 3A and 3B embodiment as follows. On the system 12 end (FIG. 3A), at step 300 the system 12 reads the serial presence detect data from the DIMM, through the bus controller 14 a and the SPD READ/WRITE bus 34. If at step 302 the SPD data indicates that the memory module 20 is compatible with system requirements, then at step 304 normal boot proceeds. If the result at step 302 is negative, then the system 12, at step 306, updates its memory function requirements list and if no further options are available the system 12 will de-allocate and proceed to a diagnostic routine or operate under the final negotiated parameters if permitted. If at step 306 there are additional options, then the system writes at step 308 the next choice of SPD data to the memory module 20, in a manner, for example, as previously described herein before. After step 308 the system returns to step 300 to verify whether the latest requested SPD data has been successfully accepted by the DIMM.
On the DIMM side, as in FIG. 3B for example, one aspect of this embodiment is that not only does the ASIC 24 analyze the requested SPD data from the system 12 as written to and stored in the volatile memory 26, but if the requested data is not available the ASIC 24 can modify the data in the memory 26 based on its next available option as identified from its look-up table 28. The system 12 then reads this latest information (at step 300 in FIG. 3A) to determine if it is compatible. Thus, the negotiation process is dynamically implemented by the ASIC 24 and the system controller 12. The process flows of FIGS. 3A and 3B thus operate together, although they are illustrated for convenience as separate flow diagrams.
In FIG. 3B then, at step 400, the ASIC 24 sets the normal DIMM operating mode and permits an SPD read operation by the system 12. The ASIC 24 then waits for an SPD write operation at step 402 as will be effected by the system 12 from the process of FIG. 3A if the DIMM normal mode is not compatible with the system 12 requirements. If the DIMM can support the SPD request from the system 12, then at step 404 the program advances to step 406 and the memory module 20 operates under the new SPD parameters. If the result at step 404 is negative, then at step 408 the ASIC 24 writes modified SPD data to the volatile memory 26 and then at step 406 waits for the next SPD read by the system 12.
Thus the process of FIGS. 3A and 3B can continue until either a compatible set of parameters is negotiated, or until the system 12 and/or the DIMM 20 options (as stored in their respective look-up tables) are exhausted.
As an example of a multiple step negotiation process, a DIMM may have hard programmed operating functions such as a 100 megahertz clock, CL=3 and Tac=5 nanoseconds ("100M/3/5"). The DIMM SPD support list (such as can be stored as part of the look-up table 28 for example) may indicate that the DIMM can accept different modes such as 125M/4/6 (i.e. 125 megahertz clock, CL=4 and Tac=6), 125M/3/6, 100M/4/7, 100M/3/7, 83M/2/8, 66M/1/7 and so forth. On the other hand, the system 12 requirements list may include 100M/2/4.5, 100M/3/6.5, 83M/2/9, 66M/1/12 and so on. Thus the DIMM and system can exercise a multiple step negotiation process by which the ASIC and system scan their respective support lists and write modified PD data in an effort to find a compatible match.
The invention thus provides techniques for system level negotiation with a programmable memory module by using PD READ/WRITE functions.
While the invention has been shown and described with respect to specific embodiments thereof, this is for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, and other variations and modifications of the specific embodiments herein shown and described will be apparent to those skilled in the art within the intended spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

The fall time is upon us and the tea olives smell terrific. Nothing is like the smell of the sweet tea olive in the Lowcountry in the fall, except maybe shrimp bait balls. The cooler temperatures make yard work much easier; however, mosquitoes are trying to ruin the fun.
Your fall applications of preemergent weed control should be in the ground and protecting your lawn and beds against weeds. If you have not applied a preemergent product, go ahead and use one now. You might have missed a few weeds, but many more will germinate before the winter is over.
Thirty days after you have applied any fertilizer product is a good time to take soil test and prepare for 2014.
Usually your beds are cared for differently than your turf grass areas, so consider taking a sample in both areas. If you call Possum's (to find a store near you look at www.possumsupply.com), they can walk you through the proper steps to take a proper soil test for your lawn and beds.
Brown Patch / Large patch fungus is very active right now. As your grass goes to sleep, this fungus attacks the crown of the plant. The crown of the plant is where the roots go one way and the leaf blades go the other way. Hold off on watering as much as you can.
Brown Patch / Large Patch is a soil bourne fungus; therefore, usually shows up in the same areas in the spring and fall. These areas are usually wet, thatch, or poorly drained areas.
Using a fungicide is always best if you can apply it preventatively (before the disease is active). There are many good systemic fungicides available on the market today, just be sure to rotate chemistries. Disarm, Cleary's 3336 and Prophesy are a few of the better ones to rotate.
With Halloween approaching, remember to control fire ants in your yard. Fire ants can be deadly, and you would not want to ruin a little ghost or witches night. Do kids still dress up as ghosts and witches?
Also clean up any other potential hazards and control the mosquitoes.

Jordan comes home and recollects lost time
Amanda Lowrance
More than six weeks had passed before 19-year-old Jordan Lambert was able to return home last Friday afternoon from Regional Medical Center in Memphis. The Lambert Family shed many tears and prayed many prayers during her long stay.
A Homecoming Party was held in her honor at the Senior Citizens Building in Adamsville last Sunday, where Jordan was greeted by her family, friends, and loved ones. But an unfamiliar guest was present.
Jamie Travis of Shiloh's Jones Heavy Salvage happened to be traveling the pitch dark highway the night of Jordan's car accident. This stranger was the very stranger that saved her life.
On June 25, at approximately 2:30 a.m., Travis was traveling on Hwy 142 toward Shiloh when he found Jordan lying in the road near her wrecked 2004 Chevy Cavalier.
"I was on my way to Birmingham, heading up the hill between Shiloh and Three-Way, and I saw the car on my side of the road in the ditch," said Travis. "I looked up and started dodging car parts, and then I looked up out of the corner of my eye, and I saw her lying face down on the road. I got stopped and called 911."
Jordan was unconscious and airlifted to The Med in critical condition. The accident ejected Jordan from her car due to no seat belt and caused a number of severe injuries including a broken jaw and pelvis, crushed vertebrae, base skull fracture, collapsed lung, and brain injury.
"Because of my brain injury from the accident," said Jordan, "I do not remember anything about the day or night of my wreck or even the wreck itself. And all I can remember from after it happened is waking up and finally acting like myself and being in rehab and asking a lot of questions."
Medical personnel shaved her hair to prevent infection and repaired the head wound. Travis recalled seeing a swollen, lifeless body, and a small gash on the side of her head.
"I had to get another vehicle stopped from running over her," said Travis, "I'm just glad to see her up walking. When I left from there, the ambulance driver told me, 'It don't look good.' The good Lord just put me there at the right time."
Jordan did not remember Travis from that night, but his memories had him terrified and concerned.
"I met him for the first time at my welcome home party, and I couldn't thank him enough," said Jordan. "I am beyond blessed to still be here. I am blessed more than I ever knew possible. God definitely sent me an angel that night."
Two days after the accident, she spent her birthday in The Med and many people gathered at the hometown park to pray. Jordan opened her eyes that night and ever since the progression increased.
Slowly, she gained movement in her toes and hands. Then, she responded to a nurse by giving a 'thumbs up' and started to breathe on her own. Day by day the young lady worked hard and never gave up.
"I finally remembered who my parents were," said Jordan. "I had someone at the hospital with me at all times. I got all my comfort and strength from knowing they were right there with me. They helped me get around and did things for me that I couldn't do myself."
Jordan still has more work to do before she is 100 percent again. She has not gained all of her memory and she must wear back braces.
"I have to go to physical, occupational, and speech therapy twice a week," she explained. "I can't go back to work or school yet, because of my injuries, and I have to keep going to therapy. Once I get my braces off and released from my doctors, I'll get to start back to work, and I'll go back to school next semester."
It amazed Jordan and other members of the Lambert Family how much everyone did to support them during this time. Many prayers went to the family and chores were done while they were away, such as lawn mowing and cleaning. Even hospital visitors would bring outside food.
"I wouldn't be here today without the love and support from God, my family, and all my friends," said Jordan. "I am blessed beyond belief because of what they have done for me. It's just amazing, and I feel so loved."
The accident has only made Jordan stronger and she hopes that her story will make a big impact on someone else's life or will help them cherish each moment and be grateful.
"I give all the credit and glory to God," said Jordan. "It's made me realize that life is a gift. You have been blessed because it can be gone in a blink of an eye."
She sat down for a short break after arriving, but the former athlete was so excited to be home and to see everyone that she stood on her feet with braces wrapped around her torso and responded to each person until the event came to a close.

Bottom line: Amy is a fantastic agent. She has helped my wife and me purchase two Pasadena homes: first a condo near the Playhouse / Madison Heights border and, more recently, a single family house in Bungalow Heaven. After buying the condo, we always knew we would go to Amy when we bought a house. Amy is very responsive and stays engaged throughout the process. She has extensive local market knowledge, having lived and worked in Pasadena for a number of years. When we purchased our house, Amy played a critical role in the negotiations. We were fortunate to get a lot of the concessions we had asked for, especially since it was a seller's market. For us, it was evident that Amy's relationship skills and deal-making ability made the difference. Thanks Amy!

Amy has helped me buy a condo in pasadena. She is the best agent I have ever worked with. She also helped me rent my property when I needed to move. I will be using her services when I'm ready to sell as well. You can't go wrong with Amy she is polite, professional and goes above and beyond what you would expect from an agent.
Thank you Amy! Mazin, Nayrouz, Jad, Jude
Amy was a pleasure to work with. She was always willing to take us around to view several properties at a time and her planning was done with efficiency in mind. We found our perfect place thanks to Amy and highly recommend her to anyone thinking of moving into the San Gabriel Valley.
Amy's a great agent. She made the buying process easy for me and was very professional. I never felt like I was under any pressure to put in an offer and when I did find the perfect place, she made all the paperwork easy as pie. She's extremely good at what she does and I'd recommend her to anyone in the LA area who needs someone good, friendly, and patient.

The new mixed-use Weissberg Corporation project on Columbia Pike continues to move through Fairfax County process.
The latest step was the posting for public view of the plans by Weissberg to build a new East County office building for the county. The building would be the office part of the planned office-retail-residential complex. The public-private partnership for the office building is designed to result in a new building for the county in less time and for less cost than a country construction project.
The Fairfax County government is planning two more regional government buildings after the East Center in Baileys Crossroads and the earlier South County center on Route One.
The next step for the Weissberg project is to win Fairfax County Planning and Zoning Department approval.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- A grant of $21,098 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will go towards helping the County of Tulare provide crisis counseling and mental health services to victims of last December's severe freeze disaster.
The counseling program will run through May 17, 1999, according to FEMA and the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (OES). It is available to those affected by the freeze of December 20 through 28, which was declared a disaster by President Clinton.
"Losing one's job or income because of a disaster takes an emotional toll on a person," said Dallas Jones, director of OES "Many people from Tulare County lost their livelihood because of the freeze. Their emotional recovery must be addressed as well as their physical needs."
The counseling grant will go to the county through the California Department of Mental Health.
"Crisis counseling funds were made available as part of the state and federal aid for the disaster recovery," explained Michael Lowder, federal coordinating officer for FEMA. "This grant is intended to help Tulare County provide quality mental health care for freeze victims."
Tulare County residents and workers in need of counseling to cope with the disaster should contact their local county mental health department at: 1-800-320-1616 or 559-733-6877.


text: CANADA wouldn't exist if it wasn't for rock and roll. We could recommend many rock and roll things but we want to introduce and vindicate our favourite band from Spain. They're Mujeres, and they do everything exactly the way we like things to be done. We've been to thousands of their shows and have never been disappointed. So we would recommend seeing them live but since this is a computer screen, all we can offer is a set of links to their first demo CD 2008, one of their first 45s, and their one and only LP to date, which was put out by a super nice record label, Sones. We also did a video for them a while back, for their track L.A. which you can actually watch.

Bodemeister to stand at WinStar
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky Derby and Preakness runner-up Bodemeister will stand at WinStar Farm in Lexington when his racing days are over, the farm and the colt's owners announced Thursday.
WinStar and the 3-year-old Empire Maker colt's owners, Ahmed Zayat and Michel and Tiffany Moreno, have put together a partnership to stand the colt. Zayat and the Morenos will continue to race the 3-year-old Empire Maker son. Bodemeister is pointing for the July 29 Haskell at Monmouth.
The Morenos, who own Southern Equine Stables, bought a minority stake in Bodemeister in late April before Bodemeister headed into the Derby as one of the race's leading contenders. He finished second to I'll Have Another in both the Derby and the Preakness.
Bodemeister came into the Triple Crown off a 9 1/2-length victory in the Arkansas Derby, earning a 108 Beyer. Unraced at 2, he broke his maiden by nearly the same margin when he took a Santa Anita maiden special weight by 9 1/4 lengths. Bodemeister has won half his six races and has never been worse than second.
Zayat paid $260,000 for Bodemeister at the Keeneland September yearling sale in 2010. The colt is out of Untouched Talent, a graded winner by Storm Cat. Audley Farm bred Bodemeister.
"Bodemeister will be in an advantageous situation when he retires to stud," said WinStar president Elliott Walden. "Mr. Zayat and Mr. Moreno have built quality broodmare bands and are very active in the marketplace. I think breeders will love the fact they start off with three potential bidders on his babies."
I'm happy to hear Bodeymeister will be able to stand in the US. At least his owners show respect for their horse, unlike Reddam.
Do I see a clash of egos on the distant horizon?

VIDEO: Magnus Midtbø vs. Neanderthal, 9bby Björn Pohl - UKC Jul/2013
This news story has been read 4,190 times
This spring, Magnus Midtbø spent a few weeks trying to make the 2nd ascent of Chris Sharma's Neanderthal, 9b, in the huge Santa Linya cave in Catalunya, Spain.
In the video, he says that the route could be described as a ~9a/+ up to a dyno, and then ~8b/+ to the top. This dyno proved very much to be the redpoint crux for Magnus. He fell a total of 26 times there, 6-7 of which he was very close to nailing it.
According to photographer Henning Wang, who followed the whole process, he got the hold and body position more or less as good as when he could do the dyno while making links, but for some reason, he never managed to hold on when he came from the ground. According to Wang, the difficulties where mental rather than physical. Magnus is most definitely strong and fit enough.
In the end, he had to return home to Norway when the conditions took a turn for the worse, but not before he went to Rodellar, where he onsighted Cosi fan tutte, 8c+.
Magnus will return to Santa Linya in November to finish the job.
His clothes look super high tech by the way, must be some fabric from outer space...

Last Friday Governor Sarah Palin joined Missouri Senate Candidate Sarah Steelman on the campaign trail and even donned an apron to help serve BBQ to supporters afterwards.
Volunteers from American Grizzlies United helped with the grassroots event and even talked to Breitbart News about the positive effects of volunteerism in the campaign.
Ryan Collmeyer (AGU-MO) talked to Breitbart News:
…he had met Steelman briefly before, this was the first time he was able to have a long conversation with her. Collmeyer said he has also met Brunner and Steelman was "more personable" and Steelman's staff "is not full of the typical, old consultants."
"They're young and varied in gender and race," Collmeyer said, referring to Steelman's staff and sensed that Palin's endorsement has given the Steelman camp "a huge shot in the arm and boost of momentum going into Tuesday."
Steve Flesher (an editor at Conservatives4Palin and member of AGU-IL) also talked to Breitbart News:
"Palin is the ultimate grassroots kingmaker and the GOP Establishment is not happy about it," Flesher told Breitbart News. "I can't wait to see what happens when the likes of Ted Cruz and hopefully Sarah Steelman get to work in Congress.
It's not too late to get involved in Sarah Steelmans grassroots campaign. Handshake by handshake, voter by voter, you can help Sarah Steelman win her race this coming tuesday.

While I don't get the chance to do so because I have to work so many hours during the holiday season lots of people take time off during the holiday season to relax and spend time with family. Plenty of folks take vacations during this time of the year and travel to be with their loved ones, which is exactly what Bobby and Darlene Sloan from Forest Park, Georgia did this year. They went to Charleston, South Carolina to visit relatives in the area.60-year-old Bobby Sloan and his 50-year-old wife Darlene got into some kind of argument around 2am Christmas morning. Perhaps they were arguing over money or maybe Bobby didn't like the tie he was getting for Christmas. I don't know. I don't have many facts about this case yet other than the statement that Sloan made. What I do know is that the argument escalated and that they most likely took it outside where Bobby Sloan decided to pull the ultimate in intimidation tactics. He pulled a gun on Darlene Sloan and shot her once in the head, killing her in the middle of the street.I don't know about anyone else but I've always believed in having guns but the thing about guns is that you don't take it out unless you are planning on using it and if you are using it for something other than target practice you had best be planning on killing someone. Guns aren't used to scare people or intimidate them, although that is what Bobby was doing according to Charleston PD. In a video conference before a judge yesterday Bobby said "It was an accident, plain and simple. No knowledge, no intent, just an intimidation effort on my part and it just went awry".An intimidation effort gone awry?Now there's a novel defenseOne would have to be drinking or just maybe plain old stupid as hell to pull out a gun in an attempt to settle an argument and not be planning on killing a person.Merry Christmas, Baby. Here's one you'll never forget.
4 Comments to "Bobby Sloan Wanted to Intimidate His Wife"
What a lame explanation for shooting his wife, although some people will pull out a gun to intimidate and I've seen people carry fake pistols. Now this is stupid! They need to have it drilled into their heads to never, ever pull out a gun unless they fully intend to kill someone (for fear of their life or other lawful reason to defend oneself.) Folks should NEVER carry or brandish a fake gun – that is a recipe for disaster. What are they going to do when the other person blasts them with a real one? If a situation is escalated by the threat of deadly force, they best be ready to squeeze the trigger.
i would like an update on this case. Darlene was a good person with a big heart. It is ashame that she died such a tragic death. She was not only a coworker of mine but a very good friend. Those that were close to her are still trying to deal with her death. My heart goes out to her son and family. My prayers are with all of them. Bobby you
took my friend away forever. She was like a second mom to alot of
people. It is not for us to judge you. Your ultimate judgement will come from God. Darlene will forever be missed by many.
Last I had heard was that he was being held without bail on the murder charge. I have the day off Thursday and will be going through some of my recent posts in order to try and update them.
fuck you and dont judge him if you dont know him or the facts let god and the judge deal with it.

West Oso's Davon Fox finds his way in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
CORPUS CHRISTI - Clearly, Hurricane Katrina was a tragedy. Nearly 2,000 people died in the hurricane and the subsequent floods, and it dealt New Orleans a blow that some parts of the city are still recovering from more than six years later.
With those facts in hand, it's hard to stomach when West Oso junior Davon Fox says Hurricane Katrina "is one of the best things that ever happened to me."
However, take a second to look at the circumstances through the 17-year-old's eyes.
Fox grew up in New Orleans in the Calliope projects, which is known as one of the most dangerous housing projects in the country. Before Katrina hit, Fox admits he wasn't exactly walking the straight and narrow, even as a 10-year-old elementary school student.
"Yeah, that kid was horrible, man," said David Fox, Davon's older brother, who graduated from West Oso in 2009. "He always wanted to be the ringleader of everything or follow me everywhere. He wanted to try to get involved in the bad things I would do."
Then Katrina slammed into New Orleans in August 2005 and ruined thousands of lives. But, in Davon's eyes, it changed the course of his life for the better.
It got him out of the city and into a relative safe haven on the West side of Corpus Christi, and on pace to graduate with a college scholarship as a real possibility.
"Moving here was a great thing for me," said Davon, who is averaging 12.4 points and 9.2 rebounds per game in his first season of varsity basketball. "Everybody back home, all my friends from back then, are gangbangers now and they're doing anything to survive. I thank God he got me up out of that city. If I was still in New Orleans, I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't be playing basketball. I probably wouldn't even be in school right now, trying to get an education.
"I'd probably be in the streets somewhere trying to hustle, selling drugs and stuff just to make a living, like other guys in the projects are doing, because that's all they know."
In case they'd gotten homesick, Davon and David received a quick cure for those blues when they went back to the Crescent City during Christmas break. A couple days before arriving, one of Davon's running buddies from childhood was shot six times while standing in the project's courtyard.
While their old friends told stories of dangerous times in their neighborhood, Davon and David had their own tales to share.
"I tell my friends in New Orleans about how different it is in Corpus Christi," Davon said. "I tell them, 'Man, if you come down here, you don't have to worry about anything. You don't have to watch your back. There's good people here. There's people that want to make something out of themselves and do it the right way."
Of course, he also has stories about his newfound talent on the court.
In New Orleans, neither Davon or David played any organized sports. After relocating to Corpus Christi, David starred as a running back at West Oso and has hopes of latching on to the football team at Texas-San Antonio, where he's a student.
Now, Davon is emerging as one of the top players for the defending state champs.
"I brought back some newspaper clippings," Fox said. "My old friends were like, 'Man, you used to be a little scrub, and now you're dunking on people?'"
At 6-foot-3, Fox is undersized as a post player, but he does most of his damage in the paint anyway. He wins battles with taller opponents for rebounds and gets a lot of points off putbacks.
"His desire and his hustle is a big plus for him," West Oso coach Arnold Flores said. "He really enjoys the game, and he really chases down the ball. He's able to outfight people for loose balls and rebounds, and he can do something with it when he gets the ball."
That hunger on the court shouldn't be a surprise coming from someone who experienced Katrina from his third-floor room in the Calliope projects.
Then he split the next week living on a nearby bridge and in the Superdome before finally ending up in Corpus Christi, where he and his mom stayed at the temporary shelter set up inside Memorial Coliseum.
It's a story that not a lot of people know about the guy wearing the No. 25 jersey and mixing it up in the paint. There were no hints of that back story when Davon scored 24 points in front of a packed gym as West Oso beat Miller 65-60 last week, while a proud big brother sat in the stands.
"I haven't been able to make too many games just because I'm going to school in San Antonio, but I was there for the Miller game and I was impressed," David said. "I was talking smart to him the night before the game. I told him not to get crossed over in front of all those people, but he went out there and put in all his effort and played great."
It's nights like those that make the realities of their former hometown seem more than just 560 miles away. Around the time of that West Oso-Miller game, David got a call from New Orleans that his best friend was in critical condition after being shot eight times.
That's why when Davon calls Katrina a blessing, David wants to make sure everyone understands his little brother isn't being insensitive.
"That's the same way I feel, because I talk to my friends from back there every day and there's always something bad going on over there," David said. "When I go back, there are certain spots they don't want me to hang at or be with them at. There's no telling where me or Davon would be if we hadn't gotten out of there.
"Now, you see how well Davon is doing. And, I'm here at UTSA, getting a college education.
"So, there's no way you can say it wasn't a blessing for us."

Old photo of Isabel visiting Williamstown Primary School in 2005
Whilst researching for our recently completed Charities page, I came across a previously unseen photo of Isabel visiting Williamstown Primary School way back in 2005. She was there in her role as ambassador for Global Green Plan to talk to the children about environment conservation, including pollution and emissions, energy-saving light bulbs, electric hybrid cars and being water wise. She also told them about the water and energy-saving house her parents were building in Queensland. Isabel visited the town's high school 4 years later to promote the launch of their environmentally-focussed curriculum.
The picture is small but pretty and rare, and you can now find it in our Gallery. Read more about Isabel's work for Global Green Plan on our Charities page.

The Hempfield School District recognizes that the definition of literacy guides the way reading is taught across all grade levels and within all content areas. We believe reading is a complex, interactive process, using basic skills and advanced thinking strategies to make meaning, and that becoming a competent, independent reader is a developmental process involving the social, personal, cognitive and knowledge-building dimensions of learning. We believe reading and writing are reciprocal processes.
The Hempfield School District's literacy program focuses on evidence-based best practices within a comprehensive framework of instruction. At the elementary level that framework includes the "five pillars" identified by the National Reading Panel (2000): phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. Although basic skills are essential components of literacy, reasoning and critical thinking are also of great importance. In addition to systematic skills instruction, we place an emphasis on teaching for meaning that includes attention to motivation, composition, oral language, and critical thinking.
At the secondary level that framework includes the Fifteen Elements of Effective Adolescent Programs identified by the Alliance for Excellent Education in the Reading Next document (2004). The fifteen elements are: explicit direct comprehension instruction, effective instructional principles embedded in content, motivation and self-directed learning, text-based collaborative learning, strategic tutoring, diverse texts, intensive writing, a technology component, ongoing formative assessments, extended time for literacy, professional development, ongoing summative assessment, teacher teams, leadership, and a comprehensive and coordinated literacy program.
The goal of the Hempfield School District reading program is to ensure that all students reach their literacy potential in order to meet the demands of our 21st Century society. All Hempfield students should be able to read and write in different genres and for a variety of purposes and audiences. They should be active, strategic, and independent users of print, spoken language, and electronic text.

Christina Aguilera Looks Better Than Ever at 2013 Time 100 Gala! (PHOTOS)
Pop icon Christina Aguilera doesn't make many public appearances these days, but lately every time she sets foot on the red carpet she looks better and better. On April 23, the "Beautiful" singer attended the 2013 Time 100 Gala after being named one of the most influential people in the world by Time Magazine.
Wearing a black, floor-length Victoria Beckham dress, Christina showed her tasteful Hollywood glamour with blonde, side swept hair, and a frosting of diamonds.
The form-fitting dress showed off Xtina's hourglass figure and her minimal makeup was a refreshing break from her typically heavy eye shadow and intense spray tan style.
And though she dazzled on the carpet solo, Christina was more than willing to share the spotlight with Girls creator Lena Dunham. When the actress and writer approached the singer on the carpet, both women admitted that they're big fans of one another.
They then stopped to pose together for photographers and their girl power was overflowing.
And though Lena looked great, we can't get over Christina's polished, sexy look. It's a far cry from her purple dress at the AMAs in November 2012.
What do you think of Xtina's dress from last night's event? Tell us below!
