Chris Polk is a remedy for high blood pressure. When he's on your team, you can feel cool, calm — and cocky.
Just call him The Stabilizer.
Chris Polk is a remedy for high blood pressure. When he's on your team, you can feel cool, calm — and cocky. There's seemingly no obstacle he can't run past or through. Keep the game close enough for the running back to be a factor, and Polk can carry an entire team with the same rugged confidence that he carries the football.
In the penultimate game at Husky Stadium (as we know it), the wildest show of Washington's 2011 season broke out. From inexplicably horrible officiating to unbelievable momentum swings to amazing individual efforts, this one had it all. But most importantly, it featured Polk, who played the finest all-around game of his stellar Washington career Saturday night.
Without him, the Huskies (6-2) wouldn't have claimed a 42-31 comeback victory over Arizona to become bowl-eligible for a second straight year. Polk scored five of Washington's six touchdowns, and he's believed to be the first player in school history to amass 100 yards rushing and receiving in the same game.

Polk rushed for 144 yards on 34 carries and ran for four touchdowns. As a receiver, he caught four passes for 100 yards and snagged a 17-yard touchdown pass from Keith Price early in the third quarter on a splendid play call by Steve Sarkisian.
Off the field, Polk is brash and likely to say anything. He's a headline waiting to happen, and the coaches must fear the bulletin-board potential of his sound bites. But put him in shoulder pads, and he's the most dependable player on the field.
This game brushed up against a disastrous outcome. If the Huskies had lost to Arizona (2-6), a team that recently fired coach Mike Stoops, it could've caused a hopes-dimming tailspin. Coming off a 65-21 beating at Stanford, the Huskies needed to get right. It was a most difficult healing process Saturday. In the end, though, Polk was too good, and he inspired his team to create three game-clinching turnovers in the fourth quarter.
It took only 8 ½ minutes for the tension to build. Arizona took a 10-0 lead midway through the first quarter, lashing the Huskies' soft defense with its quick-hitting passing game. The deficit felt larger because the Huskies' normally efficient offense couldn't find its rhythm early. After the Huskies ran three plays and punted on consecutive drives to start the game, light boos seeped out of the crowd of 59,825.
But after their first defensive stop of the game, the Huskies responded on offense as Polk gained 33 rushing yards in an 80-play drive. Receiver Jermaine Kearse's 6-yard touchdown run trimmed the deficit to 10-7.
Polk would score the Huskies' last five touchdowns.
His 1-yard plunge in the second quarter gave Washington a 14-13 edge, its first lead of the game. His 17-yard TD catch made it 21-13.
Leading 21-13 and again approaching the end zone, the Huskies had an opportunity to add another touchdown in the third quarter, but that's when the craziest play of a crazy night commenced. Price scrambled and threw an accurate pass to James Johnson, but the receiver bobbled the ball. Arizona strong safety Robert Golden grabbed it out of the air and ran about 353 yards — weaving in and out, running from one side of the field to the other, racing past flailing UW players — to score on a 91-yard interception return. After a two-point conversion, the score was tied at 21. It was a deflating 15-point swing — until Polk went back to work.
He scored from 1 yard out with 5:34 left in the third to give the Huskies a 28-21 lead. Then, after Arizona scored the game's next 10 points, Polk's 5-yard touchdown run capped an 81-yard drive and helped the Huskies take a 35-31 lead with 8:21 remaining in the fourth quarter.
About 4 ½ minutes later, he scored again to put the game away. Before his final touchdown, the Washington defense had responded with its biggest play of the night — safety Will Shamburger forced a fumble from Arizona star receiver Juron Criner, and linebacker Princeton Fuimaono recovered it.
Polk now has 18 career 100-yard rushing performances, which is the most in school history. He has 1,016 rushing yards for the season, his third straight year of more than 1,000 yards. Only one team, California, has held him under 100 rushing yards this season.
He is truly The Stabilizer. The passing game was a little off. The defense needed to get more rest. The offense needed him to deliver, and he did.
Then again, it's hard to expect anything less from the most complete running back in college football.

Additional Information
About Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT)Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT) is Kiva's oldest field partner in Sierra Leone. SMT began operations in 2002 as a microcredit program of the NGO Child Fund Sierra Leone under a USAID program to assist the reintegration of ex combatants back into their communities. Today, SMT offers group, agricultural, individual and salary loans to micro-entrepreneurs through six branches and one sub-branch in rural, urban, and peri-urban areas. By providing small loans and other financial services, SMT empowers poor clients to generate more income to help their families, improve their wellbeing, and create a more vibrant private small-business sector in Sierra Leone.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Edit Article
How to Know if You're Ready for a Boyfriend
Do you think you are ready for a boyfriend? Before you go out and try to find one consider the things below.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Ask yourself a few questions.
- Why do you think you are ready for a boyfriend? Ask yourself this question and make sure you have a good answer. If you think that you are ready for a boyfriend because all of your friends have one, you aren't. You just want to fit in, and that isn't being very mature.
- Is there a guy you would like to date? This is, obviously, the big reason that many girls think they are ready to have their first boyfriend. Before you ask them out get to know them, and see if you would really like to take this big leap in your life.
2Don't think you're ready to have a boyfriend just because you're a certain age. Some girls think that since they're starting middle school, or since they're thirteen, or since they're starting high school they're ready for a boyfriend. The truth is there is no certain age, we all mature at our own paces!
3Talk to your parents. See how they feel about it.
4Remember that my best friend has one is not a valid reason.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Ask your crush out.
- Don't get a boy friend if you are not ready for one.
- Ask your parents if you can date, or if you can't, when you can date.

I recently purchased a house for which I plan to remodel the kitchen. I am planning on installing an island and making use of the wall space for a larger range. However the new range would encroach on the existing dishwasher, forcing me to re-locate it. In fact I would also like to add a second dishwasher.
My thinking is to put two dishwashers in the island. You might ask why I don't put the range in the island, but I've been there and done that. Ventilating an island cooktop or range is a pain.
I am more than competent at plumbing and familiar with island venting of a sink drain, but I am curious about draining a dishwasher where there is no sink. I would assume that a trap is necessary, or is it? Does the dishwasher not already have what is essentially a trap just by virtue of its' design?
When the AAV fails and you get sewer gas in your home and wonder why you maybe suffering from headaches and your family starts showing signs of illness have their white cells tested for possible cancer related problems as sewer gas is highly toxic BUT to each their own.

The present invention relates generally to the field of digital communications, and more particularly to packet transmission systems involved in the management of multicast communications to a plurality of users.
In the field of communication networks, the term multicast refers to a data package switching technology in which a single data packet is received by a plurality of nodes. This mode of transmission is specially useful when several nodes in the network need to receive data packets which emanate from the same source. The multicast technology reduces the number of separate transmissions and data switching operations which are necessary to deliver a data package to a set of nodes in a communications network. The communications network contains specialized nodes which are called router nodes, or package switching nodes. Such nodes perform the package switching operation which route a given data package along the network towards a specific destination.
The multicast capability of a network is an extension of the point to point transmission infrastructure of the communications network. There are known to exist a number of network communication standards, the most prominent being the Internet Protocol (IP). Other protocols exist which are distinct to IP, such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), or are an extension of the IP protocol. Similarly, several multicast protocols exist which implement the multicast capability which are designed for the several point to point transmission mode protocols. The most prominent of such multicast protocols are the implementations of multicast, which are integrated with the basic IP protocol. Some of these implementations have become standards, such as DVMRP and PIM, and yet others remain under discussion, such as MOSPF. (These are all currently existing multicast technologies, as defined by the IETF [Internet Engineering Task Force]. As DVMRP [Distance Vector Multicast routing Protocol] and PIM [Protocol Independent Multicast] are now standard, they are published as Internet Drafts by the IETF. As MOSPF [Multicast Open Shortest Path First Protocol] is still under discussion at the IETF, it is published as an RFC document [i.e., "Request for Comments"]. The references for these protocols are as follows: DVMRP—IETF Internet Draft; MOSPF—IETF RFC 1584; and PIM—IETF Internet Draft.)
Generally, it can be said that all the currently existing multicast protocols have one characteristic in common, which is the fact that they utilize the same addressing scheme as the underlying point to point protocol. This fact limits the addressing capability of the multicast protocol to that of the underlying point to point protocol. For example, this characteristic makes the protocols in question unsuitable in a scenario in which a data source needs to send a data package to a subset of all of its receivers. Since the number of all possible subsets of receivers of data from a given source grows exponentially with the number of receivers, conventional multicast technology tends to be inadequate for a variety of applications requiring a finer addressing capability.
Apart from the fact that each conventional multicast protocol is usually designed as an extension of the underlying point to point protocol, another important aspect of the design of existing multicast technology is that of the design and maintenance of the multicast distribution trees. A multicast distribution tree is a distributed data structure which includes a number of router nodes, a number of source nodes and a number of receiver nodes. Typically, multicast distribution trees are derived from the actual configuration of the routers of the underlying protocol. In most such protocols, two nodes in the distribution tree are only "neighbors" if they are physically connected by a communications link. In some implementations, a facility exits which allows for a human operator to create links in a multicast distribution tree between two nodes which are not physical neighbors. Such links are called multicast tunnels. The utilization of multicast tunnels has become a necessity in several applications in which users are interconnected by a communications network which does not support any form of multicast protocol. This problem is particularly serious at present, because the most widely utilized communication network is the universal Internet, which was originally derived form the DoD (Department of Defense) ARPAnet and now is the most widely used private network which spans the entire planet and has a number of users approaching one billion.
The Internet presently only supports the IP point-to-point protocol. The Internet has been unable to support the IP multicast standard because of the sheer size of the Internet. In such a scenario, it becomes very hard to deploy a protocol which builds distribution trees efficiently. Even if this problem could be solved in the near future, another problem, the coarseness of the IP multicast addressing scheme, will still be a limitation of the multicast capability. In case the nodes in the interconnecting network do not support a protocol of choice, it will most likely be necessary to utilize protocol tunnels. The manual configuration, i.e., the construction of multicast distribution trees by human operators, becomes impractical in Internet applications.
In view of the foregoing, several needs have been recognized, among which is a need to provide multicast distribution tree technology configured for efficiently and automatically constructing a multicast distribution tree for nodes which are separated by a network which does not support the specific multicast protocol.
In accordance with at least one presently preferred embodiment of the present invention, the problem of distributing data packages to a refined set of subscriber nodes is solved by the provision of a method for organizing a network of router nodes into a distribution structure which is termed a Subsource Addressing Multicast Tree. Each node which publishes information in the network constructs a specific data distribution tree. In the event that nodes in the distribution tree fail, a method is provided which is capable of reorganizing the router nodes such that messages from the publisher node can again reach all the other nodes in the distribution tree.
In one aspect, the present invention provides a method of repositioning at least one node in a distributed network, the method comprising the steps of designating one of the nodes as a publisher node; detecting a failed node in the network, the failed node having at least one direct child node; and retaining subscription information relating to each direct child node at each direct child node.
In another aspect, the present invention provides an apparatus for repositioning at least one node in a distributed network, the apparatus comprising: an arrangement for designating one of the nodes as a publisher node; an arrangement for detecting a failed node in the network, the failed node having at least one direct child node; and an arrangement for ensuring that subscription information relating to each direct child node is retained at each direct child node.
Furthermore, in an additional aspect, the present invention provides a program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for repositioning at least one node in a distributed network, the method comprising the steps of: designating one of the nodes as a publisher node; detecting a failed node in the network, the failed node having at least one direct child node; and retaining subscription information relating to each direct child node at each direct child node.
For a better understanding of the present invention, together with other and further features and advantages thereof, reference is made to the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and the scope of the invention will be pointed out in the appended claims.
Several other copending and commonly owned U.S. patent applications, filed concurrently herewith, disclose various processes and arrangements whose details may, in the role of background information, help provide a better understanding of one or more of the embodiments disclosed and contemplated herein. Accordingly, those applications are hereby fully incorporated by reference as if set forth in their entirety herein, and are as follows (including the tide and application Ser. No. for each one): "Methods And Apparatus for the Propagation Of Multicast Transmissions In A Communications Network" (Application Ser. No. 09/906,928); "Methods and Apparatus for Updating Subsource Addressing Multicast Routing Records in a Communications Network" (Application Ser.

No. 09/906,935); and "Methods and Arrangements for Multicasting a Data Steam at Different Data Rates to Groups of Subscribers" (application Ser. No. 09/906,938).
Throughout the present disclosure, various terms are utilized that are generally well-known to those of ordinary skill in the art. However, for the purposes of providing additional clarity, a number of such terms are briefly defined immediately herebelow. (Though one or more of the terms may well be defined elsewhere herein, it is deemed useful at this juncture to gather all of the following terms in one place, to provide a glossary of sorts that may serve, when needed, as a convenient and easily discernible reference point.)
A "data distribution path" is defined as the sequence of routing nodes which a specific message traverses from the moment that it originates in a publisher node to the moment that it arrives in a receiver node.
A "node" is a general vertex in the multicast distribution tree. There are three specific types of nodes in a SAM tree: the publisher node, which is the root of the tree, the intermediate nodes, which are the nodes with child nodes which are not the root node, and the leaf nodes, which are nodes without any children nodes. The term node is used in this embodiment to generally refer to any of type of node in the SAM tree.
As employed herein, the term "package switching operation" is used to refer to the operation performed by intermediate nodes, also called router nodes, in the data distribution path of a given data transmission. This operation involves receiving the data package and then making a decision of where to retransmit it, if necessary. This decision is made utilizing data that is stored in the proximity of the router node, generally referred to as routing tables. After the routing table are consulted, a package switching node will retransmit (switch) a package to either another intermediate router node or the final receiver of the package.
The term "piece wise point to point" is used to describe the way in which the SAM technology exploits the underlying point to point network protocol in multicasting a message to a plurality of receivers. A SAM message originates at the root node and is addressed with the point to point address of either a final receiver node or an intermediate router node. Whenever an intermediate router node receives a SAM message, it will retransmit it to one or more point to point addresses, of either final receivers or intermediate nodes. This operation is repeated until the message finally reaches a final receiver, or leaf node in the SAM tree. Therefore, a single message is transmitted to a variety of receivers utilizing different point to point addresses along the transmission path. It can thus be said that SAM transmissions are always made using the point to point mode of transmission at every step (piece) of the transmission path, and that the transmission pattern is therefore piece wise point to point.
The term "point of divergence" refers to a node in the SAM tree which has more than one descendant node to which it has to route a given message.
The term "point to point" is used to refer to a transmission mode in which a given message is transmitted from a single source (or point) to a single receiver. Typically, communication networks only support point to point protocols, the most prevalently used being the Internet Protocol (IP) and the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) protocols. Other modes of transmission are possible, such a broadcast and multicast. Such protocol can be implemented extensions of the underlying (basic) point to point protocol.
The term "point to point address" refers to a network address utilized by basic point to point protocol provided by the communications network.
The term "protocol tunneling" refers to a technique which makes possible to transmit a data package encoded by a given protocol in a network which does not offer direct support for the protocol. The technique involves the encapsulation of the data package into a data segment which is addressed utilizing the basic point to point protocol supported by the network. The package is then transmitted from to a node which is able to receive and process it. These two nodes are referred to as the end points of the tunnel. The receiving node is then able decapsulate the original data package and retransmit it further. Eventually, the package arrives at a network which offers native support for the protocol.
A "publisher node" is a node which is a source of a given information. In SAM, messages are multicasted to a plurality of receivers utilizing a distribution tree, named the SAM tree, which is rooted at the publisher node.
The term "predicate" is used to refer to an additional data field used by SAM to extend the addressing capability of an underlying point to point protocol. This field is used by applications to store data which is used to define specific subsets of the information that originates from a publisher node.
The term "router node" is used to refer to a node which retransmits a given data package such that it can reach a specific final destination. The term "package switching node" is synonymous with this term.
"SAM" is an abbreviation for "Subsource Addressing Multicast".
The term "SAM protocol" refers to the collection of methods and operations which are used by source nodes to express interest in the subsets of information published by a given source, and by the source of information to publish message to subsets of subscribers.
The "SAM tree" is a data structure utilized to multicast messages from the node which is the source of the tree. The intermediate nodes (nodes without children) of the SAM tree are nodes which are capable of routing SAM messages to any of their descendants. The leaf nodes (nodes without children) are nodes that are final receivers of SMA messages. It is also possible for an intermediate node to be a final receiver of a SAM message.
The term "shared paths" is used in reference to the intersection of transmission path segments for a message addressed to a plurality of subscribers. In this embodiment this term is used in reference to both point to point and multicast routing paths. A point to point shared transmission path between two receivers of a message occurs when the routing decisions taken by the underlying point to point protocol define paths that traverse the same sequence of routing nodes for some portion of the paths. Similarly, a multicast shared path is an equal sequence of multicast routing nodes in the transmission paths for messages destined for multiple multicast addresses. In the field of multicast communications, performance gains are realized by exploiting common transmission paths, or shared paths, in both the point to point and the multicast package switching infrastructure.
The term "subsource addressing multicast" is used to collectively refer to a set of technologies which make possible for a source of information to multicast messages to any given subset of its receivers. This technology includes the SAM protocol and the SAM tree discussed above.
As employed herein, a "subscriber" is a node which has posted at least one subscriber operation, and a final receiver of SAM messages.
The term "tunneling" refers to the act of deploying a protocol tunnel (described above) for the transmission of a message.
The term "underlying protocol" is used to refer to the basic point to point protocol supported by the communications network.
At least one presently preferred embodiment of the present invention broadly embraces a multicast distribution tree capable of realizing multiple distribution paths. The distribution tree may be referred to as a Subsource Addressing Multicast tree, or a SAM tree. As described herebelow, the SAM tree is capable of realizing optimal distribution paths for any subset of the nodes of a given source which is the root of the tree. The tree is preferably configured such that it can be deployed as an extension of any underlying point to point protocol.
In accordance with at least one presently preferred embodiment of the present invention, the SAM multicast distribution tree is distinguished from other distribution trees because any given intermediate node can propagate a message not only to its direct descendants, but also to any number of indirect descendants. Therefore, in addition to keeping the basic state information which is required from a multicast distribution tree, such as parent and direct descendant information, each intermediate node in the tree also keeps data related to the propagation to indirect descendants. In other words, the SAM multicast tree can be used to propagate messages in a plurality of paths. In actuality, the SAM trees allows for the all possible combinations of data transfer paths between the root node of the tree and all possible subsets of its descendants. The SAM tree can therefore be utilized to support a very fine grained addressing scheme, such as the SAM protocol.
The data propagation patterns determined by the SAM propagation tree are preferably such that a message destined for multiple nodes will incur a minimum number of retransmissions. In one embodiment, this is achieved by forcing the retransmissions to occur only at the points of divergence in the propagation path. This will result in the optimal utilization of shared paths among the subsets of receivers of the message. The direct transmission of a message from a parent node to its descendants can be made via a protocol tunnel, which will result in further gains in performance.
Preferably, the SAM tree includes a root node P1, which is the publisher of information, and a set of nodes (e.g., S0–S22) which are either direct or indirect descendants of the root node P1. The descendants of the root node P1 can be either the final destination of notification messages or intermediate router nodes. A router node is a node is capable of forwarding notification messages to other router nodes or subscriber nodes. A subscriber node is a node which is a final destination for a notification message. A router node may be a subscriber node as well as a router node.
As previously mentioned, multicast capability is usually added to a network as an extension of some previously existing point to point protocol. Preferably, the SAM tree is configured such that it makes an optimal use of the existing point to point message switching infrastructure. When a parent node in the SAM tree relays a message to one if its descendants utilizing the descendant's point to point address directly, it is avoiding the overhead of making several package switching operation at each intermediate node in the path from the parent to the descendant.
Since SAM extends the addressing capability of the underlying point to point protocol, it involves two kinds of data switching operations:
The direct addressing capability of the SAM tree results in a savings of both kinds of package switching operations, which makes SAM a very efficient multicast package switching infrastructure.
Preferably, the SAM communication infrastructure keeps specific state information in every node which participates in a SAM network. Accordingly, each node in a SAM network preferably keeps the following state:
In a preferred embodiment, the distribution lists are identified by a predicate field, which extends the addressing capability of the underlying point to point protocol. This extra field is utilized by the specific application which uses the SAM protocol to identify subsets of receivers of the published information. The utilization of an application specific predicate field as a network address is a unique characteristic embraced herein.
The aforementioned embodiment carries out a preferred implementation of the SAM tree utilizing subscription and notification operations which utilize the predicate field. Here, an implementation utilizing the IP protocol as the underlying point to point protocol is discussed, but it should be understood that any similar implementation utilizing any other underlying protocol will not deviate from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
Preferably, the network addresses in SAM are defined by a pair of the following format:
(Though it is feasible to implement SAM over a variety of network protocols, the present discussion will be limited to implementation based on TCP/IP.)
For example, suppose that the publisher provides an information stream including an integer series which is updated at every second. For the present discussion, this information stream may be labeled "the value of X".
Assume now that a subscriber process wants to receive the current value of X, which is published by node P1 at port 7777, but only if X is greater than 130. In SAM, it is possible to express this specific interest with the following network address:
In another example, the values of the X series indicate unique identifiers which label data items. Therefore, the subscriber could express the desire to receive updates of an item numbered 12345, published by P1 at port 8888, utilizing the following SAM address:
The SAM predicate value is preferably handled as a binary value which extends the IP network address, therefore "refining" the granularity of the addressability. It is therefore possible for subscribers to utilize any value, as long as this value can be understood by the publisher of the information. The routers using the SAM protocol have no semantic understanding of the predicates; they are handled exactly as network addresses. This allows SAM to be utilized by essentially any type of publisher system, even supporting different lengths in the predicate field.
The disclosure now turns to a discussion of methods and arrangements for dynamically modifying subsource address multicast data distribution trees, in accordance with at least one presently preferred embodiment of the present invention.
The SAM connection is established when a node joins a particular SAM tree. After a subscriber establishes a SAM connection to a particular publisher node, it is able to post subscriptions and receive notifications from that publisher. As noted among the copending and commonly owned U.S. patent applications filed concurrently herewith, "Methods And Apparatus for the Propagation Of Multicast Transmissions In A Communications Network" (application Ser. No. 09/906,928), "Methods and Apparatus for Updating Subsource Addressing Multicast Routing Records in a Communications Network" (application Ser. No. 09/906,597). "Methods and Arrangements for Building a Subsource Address Multicast Distribution Tree Using Traced Routes" (application Ser. No. 09/906,936), "Methods and Arrangements for Building a Subsource Address Multicast Distribution Tree Using Point to Point Routing Records" (application Serial No. 09/906,937), and "Methods and Arrangements for Building a Subsource Address Multicast Distribution Tree Using Network Bandwidth Estimates" (application Ser. No. 09/906,939), subscription operations may preferably be propagated upward to the publisher node in a hop by hop fashion, and each intermediate node keeps a record of the subscription, or modifies its SAM routing table accordingly. Therefore, each SAM connection will generate more entries in the muting tables of each intermediate node. In some instances, it is desirable to keep all the routing records related to a SAM connection, even in the event the publisher node goes temporarily out of service, because the process of propagating them is time consuming. In other instances, it is desirable to limit the size of the SAM routing tables, and so the SAM records related to a particular SAM connection are deleted in the case tat either the publisher node or the subscriber node go temporarily out of service.
Described herebelow are methods which manage the SAM connections according to the needs of the specific application. A SAM connection in which the routing records are kept even in the event that the publisher node or the subscriber node become unavailable is termed a persistent SAM connection. Likewise, if the routing records are deleted in the event the either the publisher node or a subscriber node become unavailable is termed a transient SAM connection. Described herebelow are methods for managing both kinds of connections, and also discuss procedures in which the connection data can be transported such that a node in the SAM tree may be moved when necessary.
In a persistent SAM connection, the routing data related to a specific connection is not discarded in the event that either the subscriber or the publisher node become temporarily available. In this connection type, the routing records associated with a certain connection are only deleted when a specific disconnect message is sent from the subscriber node. The disconnect message is propagated using the same path taken by the subscription messages, going from the subscriber node to its parent node, and continues to be propagated up the SAM tree to each intermediate node until it reaches the publisher node.
In a transient SAM connection, on the other hand, the routing data related to a specific connection is discarded when it is detected that either the publisher node or the subscriber have become unavailable. When the publisher node detects a failure of the subscriber node, it will send a disconnect message that is propagated hop by hop down the SAM tree, in the direction of the failed subscriber node. Each intermediate node which receives this message will delete the routing records associated with the subscriber identified in the disconnect message and continues to forward the disconnect message to the next intermediate node in the direction of the publisher node failed subscriber node. These actions are illustrated in
Similarly, when the subscriber node detects the failure of the publisher node, it will send a disconnect message which is propagated hop by hop, going up the SAM three in the direction of the publisher node, as shown in
In the event that changes happen in the underlying point to point network, it is sometimes desirable to move a node of the SAM tree. For example, in the event of a failure of an intermediate node in the SAM tree, it may be desirable or necessary to move the children nodes of the failed intermediate node to a new location in the tree. Thus, the disclosure now turns to a procedure with which a node can be moved while preserving the SAM connection information of all subscriber nodes which are impacted by the change.
The movement of a node is initiated when a failure is detected in the SAM tree. In this event, the publisher node will repeat the node placement procedure for each child of the failed node, and will notify each child node of the address of a new parent node. Each child node is then detached from the tree and disconnect messages are transmitted from the publisher node and the node being detached. The transmission of the disconnect messages is done such that all connection data is erased in all intermediate nodes, concerning subscriptions made by the detached node and all of its descendants. The flow of the disconnect messages is shown in
Preferably, the detached node (S4 in
The reattached node (S4) will read each entry in its SAM routing table, and utilize a decision method to decide how to propagate the subscription to its parent node. It will preferably utilize the following criteria in making this decision:
If the answer to the query at 106 is "no", then at 110 a subscription message is propagated listing the only node in the list as the subscriber.
It is to be understood that the present invention, in accordance with at least one presently preferred embodiment, includes an arrangement for designating one of the nodes as a publisher node, an arrangement for detecting a failed node in the network, and an arrangement for ensuring that subscription information relating to each direct child node is retained at each direct child node, which together may be implemented on at least one general-purpose computer running suitable software programs. These may also be implemented on at least one Integrated Circuit or part of at least one Integrated Circuit. Thus, it is to be understood that the invention may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both.
If not otherwise stated herein, it is to be assumed that all patents, patent applications, patent publications and other publications (including web-based publications) mentioned and cited herein are hereby fully incorporated by reference herein as if set forth in their entirety herein.
Although illustrative embodiments of the present invention have been described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to those precise embodiments, and that various other changes and modifications may be affected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention.

Grilled Tuna with Herb Tapenade and Succotash
This inspired seafood dish was prepared on Biggest Loser with Curtis Stone.
For the tapenade:
- 3/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1 clove garlic
- 4 pitted kalamata olives
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
For the succotash:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 small red onion, medium dice
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, medium dice
- 4 medium stalks of asparagus, woody ends trimmed, stalks cut into medium dice
- 1 zucchini, medium dice
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
For the tuna:
- Four 3 ounce portions of center cut ahi
- To make the tapenade, place the basil, parsley and garlic into the jar of a food processor and pulse until the leaves are chopped into small pieces.
- Add the olives and with the motor running slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
- Season the tapenade with black pepper and remove from the food processor and reserve.
- To make the succotash, heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and saute until slightly softened, about 4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the red bell peppers and asparagus and saute until they soften slightly, about 4 minutes.
- Add the zucchini and saute until they are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the parsley, thyme, and lemon juice.
- Season to taste with pepper.
- While the succotash is cooking and almost done, lightly brush the tuna with a little olive oil and season the tuna with black pepper on all sides.
- Place the tuna on the hot grill and cook for about 30 seconds to a minute per side or until it is seared on the outside and rare in the center.
- Once you flip the tuna to the last side, smear each piece with a little of the tapenade in an even layer.
- To serve, mound the hot succotash onto the center of 4 serving plates and top each plate with a piece of tuna with tapenade.
