Hang in there. i'm planning on buying back in at $24 and only making one trip to the bank.
why the hell would you want to buy back in??? you're nuts. this climb was just manipulation to get some of the IPO guys as much of their money back as they could. Only the stupidest bagholder is long here. TONS of money to be made on the short side.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Wait until Wednesday 11:33 a.m.. You can get it for $22. Guaranteed. Then sell Friday at $32. Big run up Thursday and Friday. Breaking news. Guaranteed results. Smart money will go deep into margin to claim enormous gains.
" You can get it for $22. Guaranteed. Then sell Friday at $32. "
Let's make that a bet , thekeyhasleftthelock .... whadda say ?
this thing may fall further than that. I am waiiting to 22 to get back in.

Sources of group and individual differences in emerging fraction skills.
- DOI: 10.1037/a0019824.Sources
- PubMed: 21170171
- arXiv: NIHMS150003
Results from a 2-year longitudinal study of 181 children from 4th through 5th grade are reported. Levels of growth in children's computation, word problem, and estimation skills by means of common fractions were predicted by working memory, attentive classroom behavior, conceptual knowledge about fractions, and simple arithmetic fluency. Comparisons of 55 participants identified as having mathematical difficulties to those without mathematical difficulties revealed that group differences in emerging fraction skills were consistently mediated by attentive classroom behavior and conceptual knowledge about fractions. Neither working memory nor arithmetic fluency mediated group differences in growth in fraction skills. It was also found that the development of basic fraction skills and conceptual knowledge are bidirectional in that conceptual knowledge exerted strong influences on all 3 types of basic fraction skills, and basic fraction skills exerted a more modest influence on subsequent conceptual knowledge. Results are discussed with reference to how the identification of potentially malleable student characteristics that contribute to the difficulties that some students have with fractions informs interventions. Also, results will contribute to a future theoretical account concerning how domain-general and domain-specific factors influence the development of basic fraction skills.

There's nothing worse than family...and nothing better. Miranda has done everything in her power to create a life completely different than the one she came from. But a week before a family celebration, Miranda suffers a lapse of judgment and invites her deliciously eccentric and overbearing mother to come stay. With all the kin in one place, will they all stay in one piece? This heartfelt and hilarious world premiere is about a family of very funny people in the midst of loss, love, and forgiveness.

For the last month or two I have been trying to wrap my head around Magento, with a moderate degree of success. While it has been billed as the next great e-commerce system, I have come to realize that although it has some pretty neat features... in reality its a step backward for open source projects as far as development and community is concerned.
A look at the forums and its full of developers complaining about the lack of documentation, the joke of an official wiki (there are people who post ads on the official wiki), and also reports of the upgrades breaking core functionality. Most of these posts and valid bug reports are ignored by the Magento staff. A request for some XML diagrams of the core modules has been ignored for an year!
The IRC chat is pointless as a lot of new users are greeted by mods who tell them to RTFM!
It seems like there is a conflict of interest for the company that runs Magento: they now sell an enterprise version of Magento and their core business is in providing support for Magento users. I feel it isn't in their best interest to provide documentation for the over-complicated architecture (going through 8 layers of folders to update just a single image).
Is Magento an open source system?

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Canucks Will Try To Get Sedin Twins Signed
by Paul on 06/03/09 at 08:01 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Elliott Pap of the Vancouver Sun,
The Vancouver Canucks plan to start contract talks with twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin in the next week or two, assistant GM Laurence Gilman said Wednesday.
"We have a few weeks remaining between now and July 1 and we anticipate that we'll be speaking with them shortly," Gilman said from Winnipeg after he scouted the Manitoba Moose playoff game Tuesday night. "I would say we're going to begin negotiations with them in the next week to two weeks."
Asked if the team intended to wrap things up prior to the June 26-27 entry draft, Gilman could not offer any guarantees.
"Ideally we would," he replied. "If we're going to get them done, we'd like to get them done sooner rather than later. But it is conceivable that we'll get to the draft and they're not done — and it could go down to the wire."

Culture Shock
By Erin Adair-Hodges
Help for Haiti
At the time of this writing, the full devastation wreaked by the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti is not yet known. What is clear is that, at a minimum, tens of thousands of people have lost their lives in the initial destruction. I say initial because, inevitably, more will pass due to starvation, infection and disease in the days and weeks to come. Though no place can be fully prepared for a cataclysm of this proportion, Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and much of its infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed.

Womensworx at The Vortex Theatre
By Christie Chisholm
Last year The Vortex Theatre put out a nationwide call for short plays for a brand-new festival called Womensworx, which would feature only pieces both written and directed by women. It received 186 submissions and culled eight winners from the pile, with playwrights from seven states (Virginia, California, Massachusetts, Indiana, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico). At the end of the festival's four-week run, two plays will receive honorariums, one for being an audience favorite (you get to vote) and another for winning the hearts of a panel of judges.

Mumbai, Sep 1 (IANS) Director Rituparno Ghosh couldn't have asked for a better birthday present from his 'The Last Lear' team, including Preity Zinta and Amitabh Bachchan - they completed the entire dubbing of the film by the special day.
And the dubbing was indeed quite difficult. 'Difficult isn't the word,' says Preity.
'First of all I have been doing a series of in-sync sound films lately. So dubbing ... and that too for my first film in English with long flowing lines...it was tough. And to top it all there's Mr Bachchan with his booming baritone. What an orator he is! I felt so humbled,' she said.
But Preity and the rest of the cast including Bachchan, who had to dub the toughest Shakespearean lines of his career, had secretly set a deadline.
The director, who turned 44 Friday, has finally completed all the dubbing and is all set to return to Kolkata.
Says Rituparno: 'I feel like singing like Waheeda Rehman in 'Guide'. I feel liberated! I couldn't have hoped for a better birthday present. It has been a tense time for me. I've been so much in and out of Mumbai that I've forgotten my home is in Kolkata.
'Ideally I'd have liked to bring in my birthday with my baba (dad) in Kolkata. But never mind, my 'Lear' team has given me a gift I'd never forget.'
The team also sent Rituparno back to Kolkata with personally signed messages on the script. 'Those messages are too personal to be published. But the love for my team, I'll never forget it.'

That's a CDN used by Apple and Adobe, among others. Run "lsof -i" to see where the connections are coming from, if you care.
omfowler Aug 19, 2012 10:12 AM
in response to Linc Davis
Unfortunately, "lsof -i" doesn't show anything useful. I assume this is because the connections are only up temporarily in order to make the query, after which they're immediately torn down again.
I ran the command while the described network activity was in progress and just see this (none of these are the DNS traffic):
$ lsof -i
SystemUIS 278 omf 6u IPv4 0x6ac3ab0520698871 0t0 UDP *:*
SystemUIS 278 omf 8u IPv4 0x6ac3ab0534df22d9 0t0 TCP localhost:65415->localhost:5204 (ESTABLISHED)

SystemUIS 278 omf 12u IPv4 0x6ac3ab054392d789 0t0 TCP localhost:65417->localhost:5204 (ESTABLISHED)
NetworkBr 282 omf 5u IPv4 0x6ac3ab051f9e81c9 0t0 UDP *:*

ubd 22317 omf 21u IPv6 0x6ac3ab0521ebd899 0t0 TCP *:57279 (LISTEN)
I ran Wireshark at the same time and saw the same continuous DNS queries for the Akamai CDN.
Even if lsof did show the DNS query TCP connection, I doubt it would identify anything other than some core system process. In most cases, the application would make a query to the OS, and the OS would execute the query. As far as I know, lsof will only show which process established the connection, not which process initiated the query.

in response to omfowler
I realized I should've used "sudo" after posting this, so I tried again and I do see the DNS query connection. It comes from the process mDNSRespo running as "_mdnsresponder". I imagine a standard DNS query initiated by any process would end up being handled by mDNSResponder?
omfowler Aug 19, 2012 11:11 AM
in response to omfowler
I have a better idea of what's happening:
Every once in a while, I can't get on the Internet at home with my iOS devices. Every time this happens, clearing out the DNS cache on my home router fixes the problem. It has something to do with the DNS resolution for the Akamai CDN Apple uses, but I haven't taken the time to figure out exactly what's getting "stuck".
While observing this continual-DNS-query issue on my MBP, I tried clearing the DNS cache on my home router and the traffic (queries) coming from the MBP immediately stopped.
Whatever the issue is, it seems to be related to the same Akamai DNS weirdness I've seen in the past.
The continual-DNS-query behavior is still a bug, I'd say, but at least I can dig into why clearing the router's DNS cache seems to fix the problem.

anything more on that topic? (idealy: how to disable the lookups)
i often have to dig through pcap dumps and every time i see on of these queries it annoys me because they are completely useless. it's like asking a directory service for your moms phone number every ten minutes but only actually calling her once a year.
make it go awaaaay o.O

It's some software on your system checking the licensing and or making sure it can check the licensing. More then likely something from Adobe.

It's for Xprotect (Apple's built in Anti-Malware Software)
Headphone_Jack Jul 13, 2013 12:31 PM
in response to omfowler
Apple uses Akamai for its content distribution (App Store downloads, Software-Updates, Xportect,...) and the DNS request you see is Akamai's technology to figure out what's the closest server to you to speed things up. So this is no bug or some hidden "home calling" feature which will threaten your privacy. There is no content or Usage Statistics in those messages. It's nothing bad, OS X is just very noisy.
Second. Some of those DNS request are probably part of DNS-SD. A Zero-Configuration mechanism. Look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_configuration_networking#Service_discovery
I think they are those PTR dr._dns-sd._udp.lan request with also a huge akamaiedge reply.

Fiery wreck kills 3 in speeding car
The car was launched into the air after it hit a concrete pillar
Published: Thursday, March 5, 2009 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 5, 2009 at 6:38 a.m.
Mike Harrison is haunted by the horrific crash near his Ocala home early Wednesday.
Harrison saw the fiery aftermath of the single-vehicle accident off Southeast 31st Street near South Pine Avenue that claimed three lives. The three were trapped inside a burning 2006 Chevy Malibu, and onlookers, including Harrison, were helpless to save them.
"It keeps going through my mind. I kept hearing their screams, and there was nothing any of us could do," said Harrison, standing in a charred black patch near a vacant apartment building that the car hit.
Speed was a factor
Ocala police officers said the Chevy was speeding west on Southeast 31st Street when it veered off the roadway, hit a curb at the intersection with Southeast Fifth Terrace and then hit a block wall beside a building. The car took out the wall before hitting a concrete pillar head-on. The rear end then came off the ground, and the car went airborne. It landed on its hood and burst into flames.
Police officials believe they know who the victims were, but did not release the names, pending a positive match with dental records. They did say the three victims apparently were a woman and two men.
Investigators must first locate family members and have them release dental records. Then those records will be sent to the Medical Examiner's Office for comparison with the victims' teeth.
Officers said they still have not found the owner of the vehicle, a 19-year-old woman.
Sgt. Billy Woods, head of the department's traffic unit, said speed was a factor in the crash.
"That speed would not have produced this type of damage," said Woods, referring to street's 25 mph speed limit. Woods said investigators won't know an exact speed until "all the evidence is compiled and calculations are made."
Woods said that from the point where the driver lost control to point of impact against the concrete wall, the distance was roughly 300 feet. From the point of impact until the vehicle struck the pillar was roughly 20 to 25 feet. From the pillar, where the car flipped into the air, to its point of final rest was 30 to 35 feet.
Woods said it was not known whether alcohol was factor in the crash. However, he said, "We will include it as part of the investigation."Harrison said he was surfing the Internet when he heard what sounded like thunder. He said he's so used to hearing noises, he didn't pay much attention to it. That was until he heard neighbor Sharonda Jones banging on his front door.
"When I opened it, she said someone blew her back window out, and you could see flames above the roof," Harrison said.
Jones told the Star-Banner that she was getting ready for bed at about 1:30 a.m. after coming home from work when she heard a loud boom.
A brick flew through her bedroom window and landed on the bed right beside her.
Thinking the shrubs outside their apartments might be on fire, Harrison said, he and Jones ran from his apartment. As they came around the first set of apartments on Southeast 31st Street, which are vacant, they saw flames was coming from a car.
"We could hear the people hollering for help. The fire was too intense. You could feel the fire on your face," Harrison said.
Marion County sheriff's Sgt. Jeff Gold was patrolling in the area of Lake Weir Avenue and U.S. 441 when he heard the call about a vehicle fire and someone trapped inside.
Gold said that when he arrived on scene, he heard people screaming. He got a fire extinguisher from his patrol car in an attempt to put out the flames.
Harrison said Gold appeared fearless when he left his patrol vehicle with extinguisher in hand, trying to put out the huge flames that engulfed the Chevy.
"He deserves a commendation. He got out of the car and immediately attacked the fire. That's one very brave cop," Harrison said.
While Gold was battling the blaze, Harrison said you could hear a popping sound, which to him sounded like "the car was fixing to blow."
"It exploded. We just stood there and watched," Harrison said.

The present invention relates in general to a multimedia network, and in particular, to a clock recovery mechanism in a multimedia network.
The term "multimedia" is used to refer to the concurrent presentation of one or more applications, such as voice, video, data, and image programs. Multimedia networks integrate different types of applications in a same network to provide a basic framework for nodes within the network to exchange different types of information. These networks also support multimedia applications which require the integration of some combination of text, image, voice, and video programs in a single application. Examples of integrated multimedia applications include teleconferencing, entertainment video, medical imaging, advertising, and education.
Multimedia applications differ from uni-media applications in varied manners. Typically, multimedia applications are used within a group involving more than two users. Moreover, communication within the group is symmetric. Stated another way, any member of the group can send information to any other group member in multimedia applications. Additionally, in multimedia applications, there are requirements for synchronization among the various information types, which can range from course synchronization to fine synchronization. Course synchronization includes sequencing the transmission of various objects (i.e., an image followed by a voice followed by image and so on). Moreover, the more precise fine synchronization includes synchronization of a voice to a speaker's lip motion, among others.
In multimedia networks, real-time applications require local service clocks to be synchronized to one another. Clock synchronization has been studied in detail for point-to-point connections. Basically, two techniques have been developed for clock synchronization in such connections. These two techniques include a buffer filling technique and a time stamp technique. However, while the problem of clock synchronization has been studied for point-to-point connections, this issue has not been satisfactorily addressed in multipoint-multipoint connections, in which more than two users are involved in exchanging information. In multipoint-multipoint connections, an asynchronous local service clock is typically found at each of the end nodes within a network. With such asynchronous local service clocks at each end node, clock frequencies at different nodes in the communication network may not be the same, unless mechanisms are implemented to achieve this similarity. Such similarity is generally required as unsynchronized clocks cause the receiver to expect data at a faster or slower rate than the data is actually being transmitted at. For example, in FIG. 1-A, receiver and sender clocks have the same frequencies. Therefore, packets delayed by the network beyond acceptable levels, marked "n," are dropped at a specified time. In contrast, in FIG. 1-B, a receiving clock is faster than a sending clock. In this situation, packets which would otherwise be acceptable, are dropped as the receiver expects the packets (marked "f") at a faster rate than they arrive. Lastly, when the receiving clock is slower than the sending clock, as in FIG. 1-C, too much time is allowed at the receiver. Consequently, there is an increased probability that the receiver buffer will become full when the receiver has the slower clock. Eventually, when the receiver buffer becomes full, there is a quality degradation due to lost packets at the end node.
Similar issues were encountered with point-to-point connections in a communication network. A buffer filling technique has been used with point-to-point connections to ensure that sending and receiving nodes of a network communicate at substantially the same clock speed. In the buffer filling technique, a local clock is reconstructed by measuring a filling level of a packet buffer within the receiving node. The data values are delivered from the buffer to a terminal at a rate determined by a local clock, generated by a phase locked loop (PLL). If the buffer tends to overflow, then the PLL provides a local clock at a higher frequency. Conversely, when the buffer tends to underflow, the PLL is able to provide the local clock signal at a slower frequency. To assure that the buffer does not underflow when a first set of data packets arrive, the buffer must be filled to a certain level before the receiver node may start operating and receive data. It should be noted that the buffer filling technique described above is sensitive to jitter and, therefore, a fluctuation in the filling level of the buffer may result causing constant fluctuation in a clock generated by the PLL. Thus, when buffer filling techniques are utilized, it may be necessary to filter the jitter on the signals provided to the PLL to ensure that a correct output is generated.
A time stamp method is also utilized to reconstruct a local clock in some point-to-point communication systems. The time stamp methodology utilizes special data packets which include clock information pertaining to THE source of the transmitted signal. This methodology is described in greater detail in "Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Overall Network Aspects and Functions, B-ISDN ATM Adapter Layer (AAL) Specification," ITU-T Recommendation I.363, published by International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) Telecommunication Standardization Sector of ITU in March 1993, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein. As set forth in Section 126.96.36.199.1 of that Recommendation, a synchronous residual time stamp (SRTS) method is disclosed. The SRTS method uses the residual time stamp (RTS) to measure and convey information about a frequency difference between the common reference clock derived from the network and a service clock. The same derived network clock is assumed to be available at both the transmitter and the receiver. If the common network reference clock is unavailable (e.g., when working between different networks which are not synchronized), then the asynchronous clock recovery method will be in a special mode of operation.
The basic operation of the SRTS method, as described within the ITU-T recommendation I.363, will be described below. In FIG. 2, the following notations are utilized.
fs--service clock frequency;
fn--network clock frequency (e.g. 155.52 MHz);
fnx--derived network clock frequency, fnx=fn/x, where x is an integer to be defined later;
N--period of RTS and cycles of the service clock of frequency fs;
T--period of the RTS in seconds;
Mmax, Mmin)--number of fnx cycles within a (nominal, maximum, minimum) RTS period; and
Mq--largest integer smaller than or equal to M.
During operation, in a fixed duration T measured by N service clock cycles, a number of derived network clock cycles, Mq, is obtained at a transmitter. If Mq is transmitted to the receiver, the service clock of the source can be reconstructed by the receiver since it has the necessary information: fnx, Mq and N. It should be noted that Mq is actually made up of a nominal part and a residual part. The nominal part Mnom corresponds to a nominal number of fnx cycles in T seconds and is fixed for a service. A residual part of Mq conveys frequency difference information as well as an effect of the quantization, and thus may vary. Since a nominal part of Mq is a constant, it may be assumed that the nominal part of Mq is available at a receiver. Therefore, only a residual part of Mq is transmitted to a receiver.
A minimum size of the RTS required to unambiguously represent a residual portion of Mq is a function of N, the ratio of fnx/fs, and the service clock tolerance, �ε. Let "y" be a difference between Mnom and the maximum or minimum value of N (denoted as Mmax, Mmin). The difference, y, is given by:
y=N*fnx/fs*ε. (1)
In order that Mq can be unambiguously identified, the following conditions must be satisfied:
2(p-1)>[y] (2)
where [y] denotes a smallest integer larger than or equal to y, and p is a number of bits representing the RTS.
The RTS of p-bits may be generated by the circuitry of FIG. 3. The network clock frequency, fn, is divided by the preselected integer, x, to form the derived network clock frequency, fnx. The derived network clock frequency is used to clock p-bit counter Ct. The output of counter Ct is provided to a latch. The latch is clocked by the output of counter A which divides the service clock frequency, fs, by N.
In ITU-T recommendation I.363, a 4-bit RTS value is transmitted in a serial bit stream provided by a convergence sublayer I (CSI) bit in successive data transmission headers. A modulo-8 sequence count provides a frame structure over the cell stream. Out of eight consecutive cells, four of the cells (i.e. cells with odd sequence counts) carry the CSI bit, thereby providing a four-bit time stamp over eight cells.
While both the buffer filling and time stamp methodology work well in point-to-point connections, these two methods are not directly applicable to multimedia applications which require multipoint-multipoint connections. When more than two users are involved in a communication operation, one prior art approach has been to designate a signal node as a master and distribute its local service clock to all others is the group. While this methodology is typically used in multipoint-multipoint connections, several limitations exist. In particular, when the master decides to leave the group, control must be transferred from the master to another node. Furthermore, failures at the node at which the master resides will cause significant problems to the service quality before it is realized that there is no clock distribution and control should be transferred to another node. To alleviate such delays, protocols are required to detect these situations and to transfer control to nodes other than the master node.
Additionally, a second approach utilizes a single buffer for the traffic arriving from all nodes when a buffer filling method can be utilized. In this buffer filling methodology, a buffer level fluctuation may result in fluctuations in the clocks generated by each PLL more than that of point-to-point communication scenarios. Such fluctuations may then result in unstable circuits. Alternatively, separate buffers may be used for each connection. In addition to the obvious scalability problems, a fluctuation problem will still result from this third alternative.
Therefore, a need exists for a method for synchronizing local service clocks of nodes involved in multipoint-multipoint communication systems in an efficient and effective manner.
The previously mentioned needs are fulfilled with the present invention. Accordingly, there is provided, in a first form, a receiver in a communication system including a plurality of data processors. The receiver includes an input circuit for receiving a first input signal from a first one of the plurality of data processors. A time stamp detector is connected to the input means for receiving the first input signal. The time stamp detector detects a time stamp value in the first input signal. A comparator is connected to the time stamp detector for receiving the time stamp value. The comparator compares the time stamp value with a local clock signal to determine a relative speed of the time stamp value and the local clock signal. An output circuit is connected to the comparator for selectively transmitting a new local clock signal to each of the plurality of data processors in response to the relative speed of the time stamp value and the local clock signal.
Additionally, there is provided, in a second form, a method for synchronizing a plurality of data processing systems in a communication network. The method includes the steps of receiving an input signal from a first one of the plurality of data processing systems. A time stamp detector is enabled to detect a time stamp value in the first input signal. The time stamp value is compared with a local clock signal to determine when a relative speed of the time stamp value and the local clock signal. A new local clock signal is selectively transmitted to each of the plurality of data processors in response to the relative speed of the time stamp value and the local clock signal.
Furthermore, there is provided, in a third form, a data processor for communicating with the plurality of data processors in a communication network. The data processor includes the transmitter. The transmitter includes an internal clock for generating a first clock signal and a time stamp generator. The time stamp generator is connected to the internal clock for receiving the first clock signal and for inserting a time stamp information value in the first clock signal to generate a new local clock signal. The data processor also includes a receiver. The receiver includes an input circuit for selectively receiving a first data input signal from a first one of the plurality of data processors. A time stamp detector is connected to the input circuit for receiving the first data input signal. The time stamp detector detects a time stamp value in the first input signal. A comparator is connected to the time stamp detector for receiving the time stamp value. The comparator compares the time stamp value with the first clock signal to determine a relative speed of the time stamp value and the first clock signal. An output circuit is connected to the comparator for selectively transmitting a new local clock signal to each of the plurality of data processors in response to the relative speed of the time stamp value and the first clock signal.
These and other features, and advantages, will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is important to note the drawings are not intended to represent the only form of the invention.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention, and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following descriptions taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIG. 8 illustrates, in flow diagram form, a methodology implementing one embodiment of the present invention.
The present invention implements a circuit and method for allowing two or more members of a network, connected in a multipoint-multipoint manner, to synchronize their local service clocks. Overall synchronization is achieved as soon as every member transports its own timing information to other members of the group (plus a maximum propagation delay between the group members) and, accordingly minimizes the possibility of underruns and overruns at each node end. The present invention implements such synchronization by synchronizing all members of a network to a lowest clock frequency. An apparatus and method for performing this operation will subsequently be described in greater detail.
To describe operation of the present invention, some parameters of an environment in which it is implemented will be described herein. First, it should be noted that the synchronization among each element of the network is performed in a distributed fashion, and there is no central synchronization authority. Additionally, among the boundaries introduced by the environment of the present invention are those constraints relative to clocking mechanisms of each of the components of the network. Therefore, it should be noted that relative to a network clock, some local service clocks within a group are faster and some are slower. Slower clocks are less problematic than faster clocks because the negative impact of slower clocks can be compensated for a short period of time with the use of buffers when service clocks are synchronized quickly and a buffer does not overflow. In contrast, with faster clocks, packets may be considered lost by the receiver if it expects more data than it is receiving and this may result in the loss of synchronization between the transmitter and receiver, unless there are lost packet handling procedures at the receivers. For these reasons, the present invention recognizes that it is better to attempt to synchronize all local clocks to a slowest local clock rather than a fastest local clock. Furthermore, the logic required to implement synchronization to the slowest local clock is simpler and may be implemented with less complexity. As well, in the environment of the present invention, when clock synchronization is to be achieved in a distributed fashion between more than two users, not all local clocks will be synchronized simultaneously due to propagation delays in the network. Additionally, each member of a communication network has a capability of either sending a time stamp or initializing a phase lock loop register to be faster than any other clock in the network. As well, every member in the communication network has a capability to slow down or increase the speed of its local clock.
The present invention implements each of these environmental aspects and achieves clock synchronization between group members quickly and efficiently. Additionally, the present invention effectively synchronizes clocks between multiple members of a communications group, independent of a type of application which is being executed. Therefore, the clock synchronization techniques and circuit of the present invention are equally useful for multipoint-multipoint connections with symmetric traffic, and multipoint-multipoint connections with non-symmetric traffic. Before discussing operation of the present invention in greater detail, a description of connectivity will be given below.
In that description of connectivity, it should be noted that numerous specific details are set forth such as specific word or byte lengths, etc. to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without such specific details. In other instances, well-known circuits have been shown in block diagram form in order not to obscure the present invention in unnecessary detail. Additionally, for the most part, details concerning timing considerations and the like have been omitted inasmuch as such details are not necessary to obtain a complete understanding of the present invention and are within the skills of persons of ordinary skill in the relevant art. Furthermore, during the description of the implementation of the present invention, the terms "assert" and "negate" and various grammatical forms thereof, are used to avoid confusion when dealing with the mixture of "active high" and "active low" logic signals. "Assert" is used to refer to the rendering of logic signal or register bit into its active, or logically true state. "Negate" is used to refer to the rendering of a logic signal or register bit into its inactive, or logically false state. Additionally, a hexadecimal value may be indicated by a "$" symbol proceeding a value.
Description of Connectivity
Refer now to FIG. 4 which illustrates a multipoint-multipoint communication network 400. Communication network 400 comprises a network 402 and a plurality of data processors 404-410. Each of the plurality of data processors 404-410 is bidirectionally coupled to network 402 to communicate information with one another, as well as other data processing elements not illustrated herein. Operation of such a multipoint to multipoint communication network is well-known to those with skill in the relevant art and, therefore, will not be described in greater detail herein. However, for additional information, refer to ITU-T recommendation I.363, which has been previously incorporated by reference herein.
FIG. 5 illustrates data processing system 408 in greater detail. Referring first to FIG. 5, an example is shown of a data processing system 500 which may be used for the invention. The system has a central processing unit (CPU) 510, such as a PowerPC microprocessor ("PowerPC" is a trademark of IBM Corporation) according to "The PowerPC Architecture: A Specification for a New Family of RISC Processors", 2d edition, 1994, Cathy May, et al. Ed., which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. A more specific implementation of a PowerPC microprocessor is described in the "PowerPC 604 RISC Microprocessor Users Manual", 1994, IBM Corporation, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. The history buffer (not shown) of the present invention is included in CPU 510. The CPU 510 is coupled to various other components by system bus 512. Read only memory ("ROM") 516 is coupled to the system bus 512 and includes a basic input/output system ("BIOS") that controls certain basic functions of the data processing system 500. Random access memory ("RAM") 514, I/O adapter 518, and communication adapter 534 are also coupled to the system bus 512. I/O adapter 518 may be a small computer system interface ("SCSI") adapter that communicates with a disk storage device 520. Communication adapter 534 interconnects bus 512 with an outside network enabling the data processing system to communication with other such systems. Input/Output devices are also connected to system bus 512 via user interface adapter 522 and display adapter 536. Keyboard 524, track ball 532, mouse 526 and speaker 528 are all interconnected to bus 512 via user interface adapter 522. Display monitor 538 is connected to system bus 512 by display adapter 536. In this manner, a user is capable of inputting to the system throughout the keyboard 524, trackball 532 or mouse 526 and receiving output from the system via speaker 528 and display 538. Additionally, an operating system such as AIX ("AIX" is a trademark of the IBM Corporation) is used to coordinate the functions of the various components shown in FIG. 5.
Preferred implementations of the invention include implementations as a computer system programmed to execute the method or methods described herein, and as a computer program product. According to the computer system implementation, sets of instructions for executing the method or methods are resident in the random access memory 514 of one or more computer systems configured generally as described above. Until required by the computer system, the set of instructions may be stored as a computer program product in another computer memory, for example, in disk drive 520 (which may include a removable memory such as an optical disk or floppy disk for eventual use in the disk drive 520). Further, the computer program product can also be stored at another computer and transmitted when desired to the user's work station by a network or by an external network such as the Internet. One skilled in the art would appreciate that the physical storage of the sets of instructions physically changes the medium upon which it is stored so that the medium carries computer readable information. The change may be electrical, magnetic, chemical or some other physical change. While it is convenient to describe the invention in terms of instructions, symbols, characters, or the like, the reader should remember that all of these and similar terms should be associated with the appropriate physical elements.
Note that the invention describes terms such as comparing, validating, selecting or other terms that could be associated with a human operator. However, for at least a number of the operations described herein which form part of the present invention, no action by a human operator is desirable. The operations described are, in large part, machine operations processing electrical signals to generate other electrical signals.
FIG. 6 illustrates a receiver portion 600 of communication adapter 534. The receiver portion 600 comprises a FIFO (first in first out) buffer 602, a time stamp detector 604, a comparator 606, a local clock buffer 608, and a phase lock loop (PLL) circuit 610. The network is coupled to both FIFO 602 and time stamp detector 604. Time stamp detector 604 is coupled to comparator 606. Comparator 606 is coupled to local clock buffer 608 and PLL 610 to provide a Clock Control signal. PLL 610 is coupled to FIFO 602 and bus 512 via a Local Clock signal. FIFO 602 is coupled to bus 512 via a data bus.
FIG. 7 illustrates a transmitter portion 700 of communication adapter 534. Transmitter portion 700 comprises a local clock generator 702, a time stamp generator 704, and a local clock buffer 706. Local clock generator 702 is coupled to time stamp generator 704 to provide a Clock signal. Time stamp generator 704 is coupled to local buffer 706 to provide a local Clock signal. Local clock buffer 706 is coupled to the network connection to provide a buffered local Clock signal.
Operation of the present invention using the configurations illustrated herein and described above will subsequently be described in greater detail.
Description of Operation
Assume, during operation of multipoint to multipoint communication network 400, data is communicated between each of the plurality of data processors 404-410 using a communications protocol, such as that described in ITU-T Recommendation I.363. It should be noted that other communication protocols may also be used in the present invention. Furthermore, it should be noted that each of the plurality of data processing systems coupled to network 402 of FIG. 4 selectively comprises a receiver portion and a transmitter portion such as those illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7.
To begin discussing operation of the present invention, assume that data is received by a receiver portion (600 of FIG. 6) of communications adapter 534 within one of the plurality of data processing systems. Assume that receiver portion 600 of communications adapter 534 (illustrated in FIG. 6) receives clock information from another one of the data processing systems within communication network 400. When the receiver portion 600 of communications adapter 534 receives data information, including a time stamp in an appropriate location of the protocol as defined by a relevant communication standard (such as ITU-T Recommendation I.363), time stamp detector 604 detects that value and provides that value to comparator 606. Time stamp detector 604 receives data in a bit stream and determines where packets of information are located within that bit stream. In the present invention, time stamp detector 604 looks at data received from the incoming bit stream to determine a sequence number. A manner for performing such determinations is well-known to those with skill in the data processing art and will not be described in detail herein.
Comparator 606 compares the information derived from a time stamp of input data with a buffered local clock signal provided by local clock buffer 608. Comparator 606 then determines whether the clock information derived from the time stamp of the input data represents a frequency which is slower or faster than the buffered local clock signal. Comparator 606 provides a Clock Control signal in response to this comparison operation. If the time stamp value derived from the data provided to the receiver portion 600 is slower than the internal clock of receiver portion 600 (also referred to as Local Clock), then comparator 606 asserts the Clock Control signal to PLL 610 to enable PLL 610 to provide a Local Clock signal to a remaining portion of communications adapter 534 and data processing system 408 at a lower frequency which corresponds to the frequency of the data provided from an external data processing system within communication network 400. Additionally, comparator 606 asserts the Clock Control signal to enable local clock buffer 608 to store the new, modified Local Clock signal provided by PLL 610 after PLL 610 has provided the signal at a lower frequency.
Conversely, if the time stamp value derived by time stamp detector 604 indicates that a current Local Clock signal is slower than the time stamp value derived from the incoming data, comparator 606 negates the Clock Control signal such that PLL 610 continues to provide the current Local Clock signal at a current frequency. Additionally, Local Clock buffer 608 continues to store information associated with the current Local Clock signal, and does not store the new time stamp information. Rather, the new time stamp information is disregarded.
A new Local Clock signal is subsequently provided to bus 512 and used to "clock in" data to FIFO 602 from a network connection. Thus, the new Local Clock signal, whether a previous Local Clock signal or a modified Local Clock signal, is subsequently utilized to provide timing information for functions performed within the data processing system 408.
This process of comparison and update continues at periodic rates during operation of the receiver portion 600 of communications adapter 534 to ensure that each of the data processing systems within communication network 400 is synchronized quickly and with minimal implementation complexity. The periodic rate at which this process is executed is dependent upon a circuit type which is implemented. For example, some circuits are constant rate circuits with a predetermined periodicity. Additionally, when a constant rate circuit is not utilized, alternate means are used to determine the periodicity using well-known data processing techniques.
When a data processing system, such as data processing system 408, initiates a data transfer operation, a transmitter portion 700 of communications adapter 534 of data processing system 408 prepares time stamp information to be transmitted with the data according to a time stamp generation protocol set forth in ITU-T Recommendation I.363. A local clock generation circuit 702 provides a clock signal to time stamp generator 704. Time stamp generator 704 subsequently prepares time stamp information which it passes to local clock buffer 706 at the Local Clock signal. Local clock buffer 706 subsequently provides a buffer local clock signal to a remaining portion of communication network 400.
By implementing the protocols using the circuitry and methodology described above, only one station is required to send a time stamp to achieve synchronization in the network. This time stamp, when received by all others, will be used to set a clock signal for the network, when that time stamp is lower than all other lower clock signals within the network. Furthermore, the synchronization process is achieved substantially immediately after a time stamp is sent by each node and received by all nodes. It should be noted that the time for all nodes to synchronize is proportional to the order of a largest propagation delay between the communicating entities within the communication network 400. Thus, it may be observed that nodes that do not send time stamp information are easily synchronized by initializing their Local Clock buffers to a fastest clock information value periodically. This mechanism eliminates the possibility of stations which do not generate traffic (in time stamps) from having a slower clock rate than others within the communication network 400. Lastly, the implementation of the present invention has minimal complexity, but provides significant and substantial savings in synchronization of all elements within a communication network.
FIG. 8 provides a summarization of the steps it used to implement one embodiment to the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 8, operation of communication network 400 initiates in step 802. Subsequently, in step 804, each of the plurality of data processing systems, such as data processing system 408, determines whether it is originating a data transfer. If the data processing system is originating a data transfer operation, the data processing system will generate time stamp information in accordance with well-known principals in step 806. Additionally, in step 808, the data processing system generating the data transfer will write that time stamp information to a Local Clock buffer. Additionally, in a step 810, the data processing system will send the time stamp information to remaining members in communication network 400.
If, however, the data processing system is not originating a data transfer, the data processing system determines whether time stamp data is received from another member in communication network 400. If time stamp data is received from another member of the network, the data processing system detects the time stamp information using time stamp detector 604 in a step 814. Subsequently, a comparator is utilized to determine whether the Local Clock is slower than the time stamp information. If the Local Clock is slower than the time stamp information, the time stamp information is discarded in Step 822. Subsequently, the Local Clock information is sent to remaining members within communication network 400 in step 824, However, if the Local Clock is not slower than the time stamp information, the time stamp information is stored in the Local Clock buffer in step 818. Subsequently, the Local Clock buffer is adjusted to reflect a new slower clock frequency, and the time stamp is sent to the remaining members within network 400, in step 826. After the completion of each of steps 810, 826, and 824, a program play returns to set 802.
While there have been described herein the principles of the invention, it is to be clearly understood to those skilled in the art that this description is made by way of example only and not as a limitation to the scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is intended, by the appended claims, to cover all modifications of the invention which fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Jackie and I love to look at all the beautiful flowers this part of the world is blessed with, and on our walks we rarely fail to find a new one to enjoy. Hollyhocks are beginning to bloom now and those hardy, colorful stalks of flowers remind me of a simple pleasure I enjoyed as a child.
Did you ever make a doll out of hollyhocks? It isn't the least bit difficult, and it's lots of fun, especially if you are lucky enough to have a grandmother to show you how it's done. I had such a grandmother.
Probably I've mentioned this before, but let me tell you once again that in my childhood years my maternal grandparents, Good Mama and Good Papa, lived on a tiny hillside farm in the southern Ozark Mountains, and some of the happiest memories I hold of my growing-up days were made during the vacations I spent with them. Making dolls from the flowers of hollyhock plants is one such memory.
The raw material for such a summer project could be found in great abundance all around the old log house; the plants are sturdy perennials and reproduce themselves with wild abandon. At least they did for Good Mama.
There is no need for me to describe the flower since every sighted person in the world knows what they look like. (It might interest you to know the flowers are native to China. But I don't know, it might not interest you to know that.)
If you ever get the urge to make a hollyhock doll, all you have to do is get a full bloom, stick a bud in the end of the blossom, and pull a couple of the green leaves of the top. With a good imagination you can see little bitty eyes shining through. I have always had a good imagination, so I always saw them.
What wonderful times I had with my dolls! With Good Mama's help I created a vast array of the beauties, and almost every color of the rainbow dazzled our eyes when we placed them carefully on the grass with their little skirts billowing out like southern belles in full hoop-skirted costume. With little effort I could visualize our lovely creations dancing on deep, green carpet in a spacious ballroom, similar to the one at Twelve Oaks of Scarlett O'Hara and Ashley Wilkes fame.
At an early age I became acquainted with Scarlett and the rest of the folks there in the South because I read Gone With the Wind after Mama wouldn't let me go see the movie. She allowed it wasn't "something a child should see," but the library had the book, and due to lack of time Mama didn't pay much attention to what I read.
Daddy did, though. He was a firm advocate of censorship. Once when I got older I somehow got a paperback copy of God's Little Acre, which is in no way a religious publication, and made the big mistake of leaving it where he could get his hands on it.
After reading the first few pages, Daddy -- who, I may have mentioned, had a temperament given to sudden great bursts of anger -- exploded with righteous indignation. Wildly shrieking to the heavens, "God help me! I don't know what the world is coming to," he loudly vowed that such filth was not going to contaminate the minds of his children, whereupon he flung open the stove door and consigned the book to perdition. The whole episode was really melodramatic, as you can imagine.
I try not to think what he would say concerning present day reading material.

One of the funnier moments during this pregnancy was when we went out to dinner with another couple at On the Border. I didn't know it yet, but baby does not approve of mexican food. So, in the middle of a conversation at dinner I got up and ran from the table to the bathroom, puked my guts up for a good five minutes (I'm talking projectile here,) collected myself and returned back to the table. First things DH says? "So does that mean you're not going to eat that?" as he eyes my entree.
Too funny, we busted out laughing for a good 5 minutes and my hubby with a hollow leg got the rest of my food. It was nice to make a crappy situation into a funny memory!
