Oklahoma City Thunder: An evening with Pop
Gregg Popovich is an NBA enigma. One of the most interesting personalities in the league. One of the best minds.
But you have to extract the interesting stuff from Pop. He's not going to give it freely.
If you watch TNT or ESPN, you know that. Popovich's in-game interviews are legendary for how little he cooperates. The NBA's television contract requires coaches to answer at least two questions after the first quarter or third quarter of nationally televised games. So Popovich does that. With stunning conciseness.
Here was David Aldridge's interview with Popovich on Thursday:
Aldridge: "Pop what did you think of your team's defense in the first quarter?"
Popovich: "I thought we did a good job."
Aldridge: "How do you think Kawhi (Leonard) did so far with the assignment on (Kevin) Durant?"
Popovich: "He's doing well."
Aldridge: "Thank you."
Popovich: "You're welcome."
But I find Pop fascinating. He's a pro Bobby Knight. Difficult to deal with. But worth the effort.
Popovich chatted with the media Thursday both before and after the Thunder's 106-94 victory over the Spurs, which ended San Antonio's 19-game winning streak.
Just like with Knight, you've got to ask good questions to get any kind of answer. Sometimes that won't even do it. But sometimes it will.
I thought I would share with you the transcript of our chats with Popovich, complete with the question, the answer and the enlightenment.
Will you have a full lineup tonight?
Pop: "Manu's out."
Health reasons or resting Manu (Ginobili)?
Pop: "He's out."
Some coaches will talk about injuries. Some aren't too crazy about it. Put Popovich in the latter category.
Can you tell me about your French players (asked by a French reporter)?
Pop: "They're really nice guys."
What has been the constant throughout your winning streak?
Pop: "We've been fortunate enough to shoot the ball pretty well, and we've shared it really well. That's probably the most common thing that I see."
OK, now he's warming up. Sharing the ball is a San Antonio staple.
Is it important for you to beat OKC since you haven't beaten them this year?
Pop: "Everybody tries to win every game."
It's hard to get any NBA coach to cop to matchup problems. Tight-lipped, loose-lipped, great coach, shaky coach. No one wants to tread on matchup problems, even though it's an elephant in the living room to everyone else.
You're not big on your own streak, but what do you make of Kevin Durant's streak of 25 points or more in 38 straight?
Pop: "He's a great player. If anybody's ever seen him play, you shouldn't be surprised. He's something else."
That's what I love Popovich. That's 17 words, none of them sensational, about a topic that's endlessly written. But Popovich still found a way to shed light on Durant. He's right. It's no surprise at all that Durant has such a streak. The question is, how does anyone come close to holding him under 25?
What does it do for a team knowing it's got a player who will get 25 automatically?
Pop: "I guess it makes 'em feel pretty confident."
It's a flippant answer. But it's rock solid. What more could a 25-point scorer provide?
Do you guys talk about the winning streak within the locker room?
Pop: "No. Not at all."
Uh, this is going nowhere. That's what I mean by good questions.
Do you have any explanation…
Pop: "Probably not but go ahead."
That's what I like about Popovich. He has a sense of humor. That's what makes him different from Knight. Knight is void of humor. Pop is somewhat self-aware. Knight is not. This was my first question, by the way. So I continued.
Any explanation for all the major streaks going on in the NBA. This one. The Heat had that historic streak last season. Philly tied the record this season for most losses in a row.
Pop: "You think I know why? No. I have other things to think about. I don't worry about that sort of stuff."
I think he's telling the truth. I don't think Popovich has thought about it. I think it's a good question. Sort of like extreme weather, extreme streaks are prevalent in the league. There has to be a reason for it. Lack of parity. Really bad teams. I don't know. But I'll bet Pop could figure it out if he thought about it.
What's the significance of this game?
Pop: "Same as last night or the night before or this coming Sunday. Everybody wants to win when they go out to play. That's the bottom line. Everybody gets excited about streaks or you won against this team or that team. The bottom line is, everybody wants to be playing as well as they can by playoff time. Everybody wants to improve every game. Whether we're playing OKC tonight or the worst team in the league, we want to think that we improved by the end of the game. You might win, you might lose, but if you improve, that's the point."
We're getting close to the Spurs' secret of success. You know how Sam Presti likes to talk about the "process"? That's what he's talking about. Presti learned at the feet of the master.
What's the difference in Durant this year from years past?
Pop: "I don't know if there's a difference. I don't see him that much. He's just as scary last year as he is this year. He's just a great player."
That's a question we all know the answer to. We just want Popovich to address it. Maybe he knows that and refuses to play along.
Where has your bench this season exceeded expectations?
Pop: "Patty Mills was a surprise when he came back because he changed himself physically. He's like a total different human being coming back from the summer. So that was a surprise. Been surprised that Marco Bellini has been able to pick everything up so quickly. Usually it takes people a year to feel comfortable in the system. He's moved right in and done a great job for us. Those are, if I had surprises, those are the two, I guess."
Now that's rich stuff. Mills' transformation has been well-documented. But Bellini's immersion is interesting. That's something to keep an eye on with the Spurs. How quickly do first-year players acclimate themselves, because San Antonio absolutely does have a system.
What allows Tim Duncan to continue to be the force he is after all these years?
Pop: "He loves the game. He's highly competitive and he's really taken care of himself. If he took his shirt off for you, you'd see he's svelte, he's skinny, he's cut. He really takes care of what goes in his body. And all during the summer he works out. He's not pounding on his knees or anything, but he's boxing, he's swimming, he's doing things that will sustain a certain level of fitness. I think for all those reasons, he's been able to do what he's done."
Insightful, wouldn't you say? Listening to Popovich made me take stock of what I put in my body.
How has Duncan reinvented himself over the years?
Pop: "He doesn't have the athleticism he had when he first came in. He's worked on his jumpshot. He's continued to be a good defender and shot blocker, but mostly he's moved his game away from the post a little bit. He's adjusted to us becoming a little bit more perimeter-oriented with Tony (Parker) and Manu and those guys."
Nothing particularly insightful here, but a great snapshot of a career. How does a great player change over time. And literally, Duncan has moved farther from the basket. Makes you think about spacing and body development. Wonder if Kevin Durant, 10 years from now, will be closer to the basket?
What do you like about what Kawhi Leonard brings on the defensive end?
Pop: "Just like you said, defense. I like the defense that he brings. That's why we made the trade. That was a really tough trade for us (with the Pacers), because George Hill was a really good and popular player for us. But he was behind Tony Parker, and that seemed like a waste of talent. We had a hole at the 3 (small forward) position, especially defensively and size wise. It was one of those trades that was great for both teams. That doesn't happen very often. Usually, you all talk about how one team got the better end of this or that, that kind of stuff, but with that one, both teams really made out. So his defense is important to us. If there's anything I'm excited about tonight, it's to have him go guard Kevin (Durant). Because he hasn't been able to do that. He hasn't been available in our previous games. Kevin's going to still score points, but it's good for Kawhi to get the experience and learn about what Kevin does. That's the most interesting thing about this game for me."
It's great to hear a coach talk about a trade and a player that in depth, but Popovich isn't above exaggeration. Leonard played 38 minutes against the Thunder back in November. He also played more than a quarter in January vs. the Thunder, before suffering an injury. With all that said, that's still interesting, that Popovich was most interested in the Leonard/Durant battle.
How have you kept Parker going? (from the French reporter, coming back around)
Pop: "He's young, still. We've given him a lot of rest. Recently we gave him about 20 days off. That's really helped him stay fresh."
Thanks for giving the French guy a little bit of something. He came a long way.
How has Diaw helped you?
Pop: "Boris is a very important player for us."
Like I was saying, the French guy came a long way.
Your three injured players, will they play? Bonner, Daye, Baynes.
Pop: "Bonner still hurt, Daye's still sick. Baynes is still hurt. Thanks for reminding me of those names, because I might not have come up with them."
Nothing's more embarrassing than a coach who can't remember his own players' names.
You just signed Damien James. What will he do for you?
Pop: "I have no clue. I have no clue. They added him to the team. If we're ahead by 20 or down by 20, then we'll find out."
"They"? Popovich is "they." He's head coach and vice president of basketball operations. Gregg Popovich added James to the Spurs. Just because we're charmed by Pop doesn't mean we're duped.
How can the addition of Caron Butler help the Thunder?
Pop: "He's a great pickup. At both ends of the floor, he really adds to their depth. And it's timely, with (Thabo) Sefolosha being out, obviously. But he adds a lot of experience and a lot of skill, so it's a great pickup."
I haven't seen Butler's defensive prowess, to be honest with you, but when people like Popovich reference it, I pay attention.
Who's the league MVP?
Pop: "Looks like it's down to two. Take your pick."
That's a lot better than that question deserved.
What if you had to choose?
Pop: "I don't choose. I don't pick. I don't vote."
Move on down the road. Nothing to see here.
Do you recognize rivalries. Do you guys have one?
Pop: "I know some people think we might. I don't know. I've never really noticed one, to be honest with you. We just try to not to even do that. We just go play. That rivalry stuff's all about hype. You're supposed to learn how to hate somebody or be angry at somebody? We just try to go play and go win."
Maybe coaches believe that. Maybe they try to convince their players that rivalries don't exist. But we all know that's not true.
Kendrick Perkins is playing tonight. How important is his return?
Pop: "You always want your starters back. Everybody wants their starters back. He's a big tough guy. Gives 'em an edge. It's important."
Not much there. Pop was running out of steam.
Like some coaches, Popovich sometimes is better after a loss than after a victory.
What makes Oklahoma City such a tough matchup for you guys?
Pop: "They're a hell of a basketball team."
Decent question. Succinct answer. You've got to warm up Pop.
The Thunder's defensive length really seems to bother you. Bothers everybody, but why you guys in particular?
Pop: "If we play slowly or play in mud, they're too long and too athletic, too talented. We've got to have more movement. But for us, we didn't react well to the physicality. I thought they did a great job getting physical in the second half. That created a gazillion turnovers. That was the game. Thirty points off turnovers, you're going to lose. Our reaction to the physicality wasn't good. That's the ballgame."
What a great answer. Great question, even if I asked it myself, but in the name of full disclosure, A.C. Slater asked me to ask for him. But Popovich gave us great insight to the game. The game turned when the Thunder got tough.
In pregame, you talked about Leonard guarding Durant. Seemed like he did a pretty good job, despite some foul trouble.
Pop: "He was great. I was proud of him. He's learning every day. Playing longer minutes than he ever has. Going to him on the offensive end more. He's just growing by leaps and bounds. I wanted him to be out there every minute with Kevin tonight, just so he could learn what it's like to guard a great player. That's what he's going to be doing for his whole career in this league. So it was a great night for him."
Another fabulous answer. All kinds of nuggets there. Popovich seemed genuinely thrilled with Leonard, which is why I mentioned it in my column. I think that's something the Spurs can build on, in case they get the Thunder in a playoff series. And Pop also trotted some long-term perspective about Leonard's career. He is indeed going to spend his career guarding players like Durant and Paul George and whoever else comes down the pike.
Does any good come from the streak ending?
Pop: "We never thought about the streak in the first place. To us, it's just another game. We just watched film about turnovers and playing in a crowd and that kind of thing. We learn from every game, whether we win it or lose it. It's got nothing to do with the streak."
You can ask Popovich about the streak all night long, he's not going to give in.
You guys seem to bring out the best in (Reggie) Jackson, and he hasn't even been playing all that well.
Pop: "We're happy we're able to come in here and get him on track again. We're nice guys. What the hell. But you're right. He's kicked our butt every time. He's got a lot of confidence against us."
Popovich is actually joking around after his first loss in six weeks. How can you not like a guy like that?
Perkins seemed to inspire them some defensively.
Pop: "Every team needs that. He's an enforcer. He's got an edge. He's got a toughness. He plays not to take any prisoners kind of thing. That's great for a team. He's been out a lot. He probably doesn't have his rhythm and that kind of thing."
Defensive rhythm. That's a novel concept. One we don't consider much. We probably ought to, with Perk coming back and Sefolosha returning soon.
You seemed to enjoy the national anthem tonight.
Pop: "I thought it was great. Plus the violin, you don't see that kind of stuff. What a great talent. For kids to see that, I thought it was pretty cool. I probably did a second take. 'Whoa.' Everybody's got a sax or a guitar, something like that. Kid comes out there with a violin, I thought it was pretty cool."
I asked him about the anthem. I loved the violin/guitar duet, and I could tell Popovich did, too. I like a guy who stands at attention for 100 anthems a year and still can appreciate a version that stands out.
What kind of problems does Russell Westbrook cause when he's on like he was tonight?
Pop: "He's tough. Like Tony (Parker) at halftime, right before half, we were up by about eight, then we went in up by three all of a sudden, in a blink. Russell pulled up from about 36 feet. He said, "'Pop, what do…?" I said, 'nothing. No, let him shoot that.' We'd rather have him shoot that. And he drilled it. When he's doing that kind of thing, he's really tough to handle, because he's such a great driver in the first place. When he's making those shots, you're in trouble."
Now that's a great story. That's what I mean about Popovich. He's more than capable of offering up a story like that, Parker's frustration.
What's the impact of Serge Ibaka's interior defense?
Pop: "You already know the answer to that. He does it every night around here. He's a great shot blocker, great defender. Takes great pride in it. Maybe the best in the league at it. Being mobile, getting from one side to the other. He has a huge impact."
Again, great imagery. We don't think about Ibaka on those terms, getting from one side to the other. But that's exactly what Ibaka does. He crosses the lane for blocked shots, without compromising the back side. That's what makes Ibaka great. Instincts. Lots of people can jump. Lots of people have good timing. But Ibaka has developed a feel for the game on when to cross the paint and when not to.
Six games remaining, how do you feel about this team as you close out the season with the playoffs approaching?
Pop: "We're doing pretty well."
Welcome to the club, Charles Thompson. CT does a radio show in Lawton and occasionally comes to Thunder games and grabs interviews. He asked Popovich this harmless question, but it wasn't quite direct enough. Give Popovich room to blow off a question, he'll take it.
You didn't start Kawhi Leonard in the second half. Why?
Pop: "He had three fouls. I just wanted to save a couple of minutes. I didn't want him to get another foul and have to come out of the game. I wanted him to have time to play Kevin all night long. We just saved a couple of minutes."
Bad decision. But at least he explained it.

Casas Gregorio Vacation Rentals
Casa Gregorio stay, February 2011
Apr 03, 2011 02:56 pm
My husband and I stayed in one of the two casas at Casa Gregorio for 10 days in early February 2011. The other casa was usually rented on weekends, but mid week we usually had the place to ourselves. We had originally booked a bungalow but were glad we had upgraded to the casa, as those are just a lot nicer facility, with a beachfront patio and the ocean breeze always blowing thru it. Rene and Santos do a great job of keeping the houses and grounds really clean, and were always smiling and pleasant to be around. Ernesto and his wife and kids also stopped by regularly.
Turtle nesting/hatching season was going full force. We usually saw turtle tracks on early morning beach walks, and Roberto (he runs a local turtle rescue program) did several early morning releases right in front of the house. From the patio, we also saw iguanas, whales, lots of pelicans and shore birds, and what were probably sailfish that were leaping completely out of the water (take binoculars!) And I had only seen storks maybe a few times before; there was a large flock of them that hung out in the creek by the bridge. That spot seemed to have more interesting birds and wildlife than some of the areas near Ixtapa that the buses full of tourists pay to go to.
We spent 4 nights in Zihau, then picked up a rental car at the airport for the Troncones portion of our trip. We liked having the car as opposed to using taxis, as it gave us a lot more freedom for day trips, grocery shopping, and getting back and forth from restaurants at night. There is currently a lot of concern about safety for travelers in Mexico, and we have had a lot of people ask us about that. However, we felt quite safe walking around both daytime and at night in the downtown/tourist areas of Zihua and anywhere in Troncones, and also in driving between the two towns during the day. We just took the usual precautions of being aware of our surroundings and not wearing flashy items. I would not, however, advise night driving anywhere except along the dirt beach road in Troncones. The main roads have numerous large potholes as well as steep topes in the small towns, and these would be too hard to see after dark. I would not want to break an axle and be broken down along the road!
We bought groceries a couple of times at the Comercial Mexicana in Zuhua, and usually fixed breakfast and lunch (with lots of fresh local fruit and vegies) in the casa, then went out to dinner at one of the Troncones restaurants. Our favorites were Burro Borracho and La Costa Brava. We also walked up to Cafe del Sol every morning for espressos, as they have the only commercial espresso machine in town. They also have good breakfasts and fresh baked goods (including wood fired pizzas) that we got to watch them make every morning.
The locals in Troncones were all really friendly to us, and seemed to appreciate our feeble attempts at speaking Spanish. A smile and a "buenos dias" go a long ways towards making friends. We also did some driving to other small beach towns in the area, and Troncones had by far the cleanest beach (probably since it has no large rivers coming into it). And if we could see 6 people on it at one time we made jokes about it being crowded.

text: Sandra Bullock Strips Down With Chelsea Handler But only Handler was really naked, she says By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Oct 16, 2012 9:30 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (19) (Newser) – To mark her move to a new studio, Chelsea Handler last night … got naked in a shower with Sandra Bullock. Bullock took the opportunity to slap Handler around a bit, give her some career advice, and chide her for peeing in the shower. "We don't make pee pee in showers anymore," Bullock informed her. "We make pee pee in the potty." But, the Sun reports, Handler later revealed that Bullock didn't go totally nude for the sketch, and only Handler was "really naked." Handler had earlier expressed her excitement that the new studio includes a shower in her office, the New York Daily News reports. "I'm most excited about having a shower in my office, so that I no longer have to shower downstairs and then walk by the audience lineup in a robe," Handler said. "Yeah, I'm not joking, that's what happened." Later on the last night's episode of Chelsea Lately, Jennifer Aniston appeared and actually teared up a bit while talking about her engagement to Justin Theroux, the Sun adds. "I just got verklempt," Jen said. Handler is apparently a Theroux fan—she called him "the greatest guy ever." (She also teased Aniston about showing her nipples, noting, "Every time Jen comes on the show there's always something when her nipples are very, very pronounced.")

Picture: Ricky Gervais and Jane Fallon - 2013 Novak Djokovic Benefit Dinner at Capitale Ballroom - New York, NY, United States - Tuesday 10th September 2013
Funnyman Ricky Gervais is reprising his socially-awkward The Office character David Brent for a series of gigs in London.
Gervais took to Twitter to announce Brent's musical comeback, revealing he'll be taking the bumbling boss to the stage for "a couple of very cheap, very low key warm up gigs" with The Office band Foregone Conclusion next month (Oct13).
The comedian has turned down several offers to record an album of Brent-related music, but he's not new to the industry - he once fronted early 1980s new wave band Seona Dancing.
He recently reintroduced his Brent character in a series of YouTube videos titled Learn Guitar With David Brent.

Beware of stolen goods when shopping online.
Bargain hunters beware: Your online auction purchase might be stolen goods.

Efren Carrillo's employers deserve a more thorough explanation about what happened outside a San Diego bar over Labor Day weekend. After all, it's not every day that a Sonoma County supervisor gets arrested after a fight.
Carrillo, 31, was taken into custody following an early-morning altercation involving three people in the popular Gaslamp Quarter of downtown San Diego. He issued a written statement saying he was protecting some women in his party from "rowdies" who "approached our group and harassed" them. "I'm anxious to tell my side of the story during legal proceedings," he wrote.
Carrillo left Thursday on a trip to Russia with a 23-member delegation from Fort Ross State Historic Park. His aide told reporters that he won't discuss his arrest until he returns in two weeks. As we noted, Carrillo's employers — the voters of the Fifth District of Sonoma County — deserve better than that. The last time we checked, Russia still has phone service.
We understand that he was on a personal trip to San Diego when this fight occurred. And we have no reason to question his version of events — as limited as it is.
Nevertheless, this is a serious matter, one that can't be dismissed easily. Carrillo faces a felony battery charge. He also has been charged with disturbing the peace, a misdemeanor.
Meanwhile, the facts of what happened remain sketchy. According to police in San Diego, the arrests occurred when two police officers encountered three people fighting in the street at 2:10 a.m.
Initial reports indicated that one man was left unconscious as a result of the fight and had to be taken to a hospital. Thankfully, it appears that person, a self-described marketing specialist and entrepreneur from Arizona, was not seriously hurt. Authorities say Jovan Will, 30, was treated and released. He refused to talk to reporters when contacted.
Another person, 22-year-old Rayan Jastanyah of San Diego, also was arrested on the same charges as Carrillo. But it's unclear how he was involved.
Prosecutors haven't decided whether to pursue the case, and, given that nobody, by all appearances, was seriously injured, it's possible this will all blow away before Carrillo's scheduled arraignment on Oct. 15. However, that still doesn't remove Carrillo's obligation to explain himself to the people of Sonoma County.
Carrillo, the first Latino elected to the board, has been something of a rising star in local politics. Known for his energy and exuberance, he rarely misses a ribbon-cutting or community event, particularly in his district. His commitment and thoughtfulness are among the reasons why we supported him in the past two elections.

Flip Wilson: What you saw wasn't all you got
Forty years ago, Flip Wilson was the biggest thing in television.
In its first two seasons on NBC, "The Flip Wilson Show" was the second-most watched program on TV. His comic characters spawned two of the medium's hottest catchphrases, "The devil made me do it" and "What you see is what you get!" (The latter lives on in its acronym, a computer application that allows you to see what a document you're working on will look like - WYSIWYG.) He jump-started the careers of the two biggest names in comedy, George Carlin and Richard Pryor. In January 1972, Time magazine had him on the cover, calling him "TV's First Black Superstar." »Read Full Article

Perdue urges colleagues to reduce their salaries
Published: Tuesday, May 5, 2009 at 9:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 5, 2009 at 9:54 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Gov. Beverly Perdue made an offer that North Carolina's top elected officials apparently found hard to refuse.
Perdue urged Council of State members Tuesday to voluntarily accept a pay cut equal to 0.5 percent of their annual salaries as a sign of solidarity with furloughed workers.
Perdue said she didn't want to see a council member's name wind up on a Web site somewhere singling them out for keeping their full pay.
The governor ordered pay reductions for most workers last week. State law doesn't allow Perdue to reduce salaries for current council members and elected judges.
Perdue spokeswoman Chrissy Pearson said all council members and elected judges have agreed to take a pay cut. Several council members already had agreed to do so earlier.

Westmoreland County renegotiates insurance contracts to save $800K
Renegotiated insurance contracts with UPMC and Highmark are expected to save Westmoreland County taxpayers more than $800,000 over the next three years.
Commissioners on Thursday approved new agreements with the insurance companies to provide health-care benefits for more than 1,800 government employees, their spouses and children.
The deals are expected to reduce administrative costs over the three years.
"We were able to take advantage of the rivalry between UPMC and Highmark," said Commissioner Ted Kopas.
Commissioner Charles Anderson said the savings will be added to the county's general fund.
The deal won't affect employee's benefits or what they pay for health care. The negotiated decreases impact only administrative costs the county pays directly to the insurance companies.
The only change employees will see is the exclusion of Health America from the insurance program. For the last several years, employees have been able to select Health American, UPMC or Highmark for their insurance. About 150 employees chose Health America.
Next year, the county expects to pay about $22 million to insure employees and their dependents.

Clock and Data Recovery/Introduction/Acquisition, tracking and jitter performances
Requirements and characteristics[edit]
What are the different requirements for the extraction of the clock from an incoming (encoded) bit stream?
They are essentially related to two different conditions of the CDR operation:
- Acquisition of the phase lock
- Tracking of the acquired phase timing once the acquisition is sufficient.
This condition of the CDR operation starts when :
- the CDR has been turned ON, and
- the input signal appears.
- As long as the received signal is not present, the CDR is kept idle by the LOS control signal, which is generated by the first stages of the receiver, (LOS = Loss Of Signal).
- When the LOS is deactivated, the CDR is released and the acquisition phase begins.
- The local oscillator of the CDR at that moment has an unpredictable phase mismatch with the phase of the incoming signal.
- The CDR then reacts as if it had been in perfect lock and the phase of the input signal had taken an abrupt step change.
- It may be added that, in case the CDR operates as a slave CDR, it would also be subject to the equivalent to an abrupt, though small, change of the frequency of the input signal.
- In fact, the input signal (during LOS) was unknown and the CDR acted as if the input signal frequency was its own free-running frequency, ffr..
- When the LOS is deactivated, the CDR is released and the acquisition phase begins.
The acquisition ends when the tracking begins.
The condition of tracking starts when the CDR keeps consistently its sampling point close enough to the eye center.
- Close enough means that the sampling time (affected by jitter and possibly by a systematic steady state error) remains close enough to the optimum sampling point to achieve a very low Bit Error Rate.
- For example, remaining within a sampling error of ±0.5 rad ( = ±0,07 U.I.) and below a BER of 10-12 could be considered as being in the tracking stage of the CDR operation.
An abrupt step of the phase of the input signal can be studied as a new acquisition with the same initial phase mismatch.
Different CDR architectures behave differently, also during the acquisition phase.
Acquisition bears a strong analogy with the unit step response of a linear systems.
- In fact, if a CDR can be adequately modelled by a linear system, its acquisition is modelled by the (Unit) Step Response of the system.
Many non-linear factors may strongly influence how the acquisition evolves into tracking. For instance, the use of a bang-bang phase detector, the slew-rate consequence of the limited swing range of the VCO, the use of a PFD, each gives the acquisition transient special characteristics.
- a linear phase comparator and input conditions that allow the other blocks to remain within their linearity ranges, make the VCO phase follow a typical catch-up with the input phase that is exponential and make the time to reach tracking independent from the amplitude of the input step (the response time τ is dependent only on the circuit characteristics and remains the same if the phase step to catch up is bigger or smaller) - See the figure above;
- a bang-bang phase detector makes the acquisition follow a constant slope until catch-up has taken place. The slope is the same for different step amplitudes.
- a PFD makes the CDR output phase (as long as slips of decreasing frequency precede the achievement of tracking) follow a sort of parabolic shape (spanning as many 2π multiples as the number of slips that took place) before completing the acquisition.
The simplest architecture (1st order and type 1) is best fit to implement CDRs with fast and slip-free acquisition of phase lock.
- Its response to an abrupt change of phase (step input), even if combined with a frequency difference between the timing of the received signal and the free running frequency of the local oscillator (ramp input), is always free from slips .
- The phase difference during the acquisition is always a decreasing function (apart from a small drift that may originate by ffr / fp mistuning and that would only be evident during periods of missing transitions and only if the mistuning sign was making the VCO resist the direction of the acquisition transient).
- In the figure above, the simulation uses 3000 discrete time steps. Each time increment is 2,7 ps (that is the line pulse period of 100 ps divided by 37).
- After 200 time steps (i.e. after .2,7 * 37 = 543 ps) the loop - that was open until then (because LOS was = 1) starts its acquisition phase ( LOS = 0).
- The input phase takes in that moment a positive step of 1.3 rad.
- The input transitions appear with an average density of 50 %, but otherwise in a fully random sequence.
- The acquisition lasts for a little over 3 ns in this example. It ends when the phase error settles around its final value (settles around 0 rad in this example).
- The pattern of pulses in the signal that drives the VCO (black trace) is, although random, constantly made only of positive pulses during the acquisition of lock.
- It may be noted that the VCO has a ffr lower than fp (in this example lower by exactly 5750 ppm), as the VCO phase lags behind the input phase (lower negative slope in the red trace) every time the VCO drive signal it at its intermediate level, both before detection of the input signal and when there is a lack of transition (mid level of the VCO drive signal).
- The steeper slopes of the red trace, positive and negative, tell when the VCO is driven to its top and bottom frequencies (1,00575 1010 ±2,39 108 Hz ) by the positive and negative pulses of its drive signal.
- The drive signal is exponentially smoothed when it goes down to zero, because there is a parasitic low-pass (at 6,28 1011 rad/sec = ten time ti line pulse frequency) just after the ternary phase detector. It is sharp at its top and bottom corners because the it is clamped by an instantaneous circuit.
- The acquisition time would vary every time with the randomness of the transitions at the signal appearance, and be significantly longer than in the example with a non-zero probability.
- If the transitions density had been equal to 100%, the acquisition would have been faster and predictable.
- The following figure gives an example of the same circuit if the transition density is forced to 100%.
- Acquisition with a preamble of 101010.. of adequate duration, are a standard in systems that frequently need to reacquire the signal lock.
- When DT = 100%, it is even more evident that the tracking of a fp higher than ffr is the cause of a ratio of positive pulses to negative pulses (evident in the VCO drive signal) that is higher than 1.
There are other CDRs (based on the other two more sophisticated architectures, the "second order loops of type 1 and 2") whose acquisition is inevitably long and sometimes a series of slips precedes the achievement of a stable acquisition.
The presence of slips at the beginning of the acquisition is acceptable in applications operating in (Continuous transmission mode), and in inevitable in some of those where a PFD must be used.
Acquisition ends, and the condition of tracking is reached, when the CDR keeps consistently its sampling point close to the eye center (that is, when the phase error settles and just jitters around the steady state error value.
- During tracking, the sampling instant (though affected by jitter and possibly by a systematic steady state error) remains close enough to the optimum sampling point to achieve a Bit Error Rate practically equal to 0.
- For example, remaining within a sampling error of ±0.5 rad ( = ±0,07 U.I.) and below a BER of 10-12, could be considered as a tracking condition.
- During tracking, an abrupt step of the phase of the input signal can be studied much as a new acquisition, with the initial phase mismatch equal to that step.
There are 3 fundamental requirements for the performances of a tracking CDR:
One applies to all CDRs,
the other 2 apply to the subset of the "regenerator" CDRs.
All CDRs[edit]
To study the tracking state, the fundamental characteristic of all CDRs is:
- the ability to operate correctly (that is with a low enough Bit Error Rate = BER) in the presence of a given jitter.
- This is measured by the Jitter Tolerance (or Jitter Acceptance).
- It gives, at every frequency, the sinusoidal input signal amplitude below which the BER is 0 and above which the BER is higher than 0.
- It is often specified as a mask of jitter amplitude versus jitter frequency.
- The circuit must operate correctly at any condition defined by a jitter amplitude and a jitter frequency within the boundary set by the mask.
- In other words, the (locus of the conditions of) onset of BER shall be found above (=at higher jitter amplitudes than) the boundary set by the mask.
Regenerator CDRs[edit]
- When the recovered clock is used for the data stream that is resent further downstream (which is a common case in a network), the CDR is a regenerator CDR.
- Definition: A "regenerator" CDR is a slave CDR that is used as a master for at least another CDR further downstream.
- For regenerators, two other characteristics are important as well:
- filtering out the input jitter frequencies above the frequency range involved in the lock-in and tracking. This is called Jitter Transfer characteristic, and there often exists a mask setting an upper limit for the curve that characterises the circuit (the jitter transfer function is the function (part of the circuit model) expressing the ratio - at any given frequency - of the magnitude of the sinusoidal jitter at the output to the magnitude of the sinusoidal jitter at the input).
- The presence of a filter block in the model of 2nd order PLLs allows one more degree of design freedom (instead of τ only, ωn and ζ can be chosen). The 2nd order architecture is used when particular requirements (for jitter and/or noise and/or effects of non-linearities) make the 1st order PLL inadequate. The quantity ωn essentially defines the cut off frequency of the low pass effect that such PLL has on the incoming jitter (≈ the jitter bandwidth of the loop).
- the amount of Generated Jitter inside our circuit (phase noise added to the retrieved timing signal). Often specified as:
- a rms or peak value for the output wander ( < 10 Hz) with zero input wander, and
- as a curve of maximum magnitude vs frequency for jitter (> 10 Hz).
- The ITU-T, in its Recommendations Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T), is an invaluable source of theory and practical knowledge on the subject. It primarily deals with the requirements of large, geographical, networks, and therefore these Recommendations are especially useful, and exact in their quantitative references, for the engineer that studies Telecom digital networks, but they can also provide a lot of insight in other fields of application of CDRs.
Other examples of acquisition and tracking can be found in subsequent pages of this book.

A 4-year-old boy dressed in Spider Man pajamas had his own late-night Spidey adventure in Vancouver, Wash.
He was spotted on the street at 3 a.m. Sunday with a blanket and flashlight.
Officers were unable to find the boy's home, so they took him to a precinct station. They gave him hot chocolate and oranges and let him watch cartoons until his mother called at about 7 a.m. to report him missing.
The boy had been staying with his grandmother and awoke after a nightmare and went looking for his mother.

JooZoo: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

That's not a fancy dog tag, it's JooZoo, a new portable mp3 player for pets created by Korean company Innobitz. I'm not quite convinced it will relieve pet's stress and improve health as the company claims, and a doggy mp3 player seems like just another gadget for those with money to burn.
And, actually, quite a bit of cash burns at that – this 18-karat gold and diamond-encrusted device costs between $1,500 and $2,000. Am I overreacting here? I know you have an opinion, too, so share it with me!

I know, no one will write about this Wishing well in Sungai Petani.. It has been there since I was small, I used to go there with my younger sister to make our wishes in the wishing well. No, I didnt wish for my prince, I just wish for everyone to be happy, healthy and to study hard.
The train in SP
Sungai Petani and Bukit Mertajam sure have a lot of traffic jam in the town.. Nowadays, SP people are seeing and watching more trains than lasttime.. yes of cos, road closure for the train to pass across the town due to building new double railroads.. I didnt have to chance to take pictures of the old railway station in SP and Butterworth Train Station, they are already demolised to make way for this new railways. :-(

"Lucky" Daisuke Sato took the reins of Future Industries from his mother, Asami Sato. Avatar Korra was his other mother, though obviously not by blood.
Daisuke was born with a weak heart, and wasn't expected to live into his twenties. Thanks to medical technology of his own design, he's still kicking in his forties, and even healthier than most men his age. His own success in cheating death has wrapped his mind around the concept of immortality, and he gives everything he has each day to work towards that goal.
Yeah, Meowstic does a nice job for it, since he's got Prankster and decent defense stats already.
Gimme a little time to re-work my team. Not prepared just yet.
