hi, i know there is a setting in the bios to disable the cpu fan monitor. i just cant find it. ill appreciate anyone with asus z97 that can guide me with the exact...
I receive a BIOS error, "CPU Fan Error". I am using water and thus have
ASUS P8Z77-V-Deluxe motherboard, Intel i7-3770 processor, Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler. Each time I boot the computer, the following error message is displayed
I switched the stock cooler for a H2O cooler, hence no CPU fan. But how do I disable the error message at boot. Mobo is a P5GDC Deluxe Thx Jespersen.
Using Q-fan means the motherboard will thermo-regulate to a 60C CPU temperature, and the fan will spin quite slowly. Disabling Q-fan will allow the Intel fan to spin faster.
I have received the same "CPU Fan Failed" error since I bought my ASUS motherboard and installed the CPU. The motherboard, CPU and CPU fan were brand new, so I didn't think much of it.
A common problem with Asus motherboards, go in to the bios under monitor scroll down to Q-fan control for cpu.
Asus assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or inaccuracies that may appear in this manual, including the products and software described in IT.
Recently quite a few ASUS motherboard users feed back that every time when computer starts up, it prompts "CPU Fan Error", and they have to press F1 to continue.
There are lots of people who have encountered a problem by using their ASUS motherboard. The trouble entails the person being greeted with a "CPU Fan Error"

text: I was making some recordings of bass frequencies to check the response of my controll room. While I was setting up the mic in different positions round the room I had a 100Hz sine I generated in soundforge running on my K-ROK monitors fairly loud. I was getting the expected peak & cancellation effect as I walked round the room...Anyway, after about 10mins I just paused soundforge and immediately played a track I had completed an hour earlier. The only way I can explain the effect is by comparing it to coming out of a cinema on a sunny day. The mix was bright - full of detail as I remembered it, but now the bass end sounded lousy. I could pinpoint the eq needed to correct the lack of focus on the bass & kick in secconds. The 'clarity effect' died away in a couple of minutes. Has anyone here ever noticed this?

Shonda Rhimes and her 'Year of Yes.' "Ms. Rhimes says that her year of yes inspired her to speak up for what she wanted at work. She stopped answering emails at night and set up an auto-reply saying, 'I will not answer your work email after 7 p.m., and if you work for me, may I suggest you put down your phone?' She also started eating more healthily and exercising, and lost more than 100 pounds." [The Wall Street Journal]
On Escape Velocity, Necessary Ruckus, and Working at the Edge of Reason. "There's no bigger red flag than a leader/entrepreneur that feels entitled. It causes you to stop hustling, and fools you into forgetting the crucial role that timing and external circumstances (and people) played in your success. Once you feel entitled, you stop mining the circumstantial." [Scott Belsky / Medium]
The three biggest differences between being busy and being productive. "You're running around with a to-do list a mile long, crossing off item after item. You're feeling super productive. But are you really being productive, or are you just being busy?" [Fast Company]
Digging at the roots of the cultural fascination with failure. "We can be so crazy with our expectations. Larry Ellison, the legendary CEO of Oracle, has this quote about how he has always felt like a failure because he was never the richest man in America. He never was number one. He was rated between, like, four and eight, with around $22 billion. If you want to make yourself feel shitty, you can always find someone else doing better than you." [GOOD Magazine]
Noteworthy from The Splendid Collective:
I'll be speaking at Engage!15 next week on the topic of neuroplasticity and margin. This will be my tenth time speaking at the Engage Summits and I am excited to share brand new, never-before presented content on a topic that applies to anyone (and everyone!) running a business.

United States District Court, District of Columbia
December 3, 2012
Leonard I. HOWARD, Plaintiff,v.Vincent C. GRAY, Defendant.
Page 129
Leonard I. Howard, Washington, DC, pro se.
John Felix Pressley, Jr., Law Office of John F. Pressley, Jr., Washington, DC, for Plaintiff.
COLLEEN KOLLAR-KOTELLY, District Judge.
Plaintiff Leonard Howard filed suit against Vincent Gray, in his official capacity as the Mayor of the District of Columbia, alleging Howard was denied a reasonable accommodation of and wrongfully terminated from his position as a Financial Manager for the District of Columbia based on his physical disability, in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (" ADA" ), 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq., and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 791 et seq. Presently before the Court is the Defendant's [53] Motion in Limine, and the Plaintiff's objections to the Defendant's exhibits and witnesses.[1] Upon consideration of the pleadings,[2] the relevant legal authorities, and the record before the Court, the Defendant's motion is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART, and the Plaintiff's objections sustained in part and overruled in part as set forth below.
In his motion, the Defendant moves to exclude five categories of evidence/argument: (1) evidence or arguments relating to Plaintiff's claims prior to January 2006; (2) evidence or arguments regarding disabilities not pled in the Complaint; (3) expert testimony from Dr. Higgins and Dr. Menon; (4) evidence or argument to the effect that the Defendant retaliated against the Plaintiff by opposing his request for temporary disability benefits; and (5) evidence or argument to the effect that the Defendant retaliated against the Plaintiff by opposing his request for disability
Page 130
retirement benefits. The Defendant further moves to admit evidence that the Plaintiff is receiving total temporary disability benefits. The Court shall address each category of evidence in turn.
A. Evidence Relating to Plaintiff's Claims Before January 2006
Initially, the Defendant moves to preclude the Plaintiff from introducing evidence regarding Plaintiff's now-dismissed claim that he was denied a reasonable accommodation of his disability between April 7, 2004 and December 2005. The Court agrees that Plaintiff cannot argue the Defendant is liable for failing to accommodate the Plaintiff's purported disability prior to January 2006 in light of the Court's 10/20/2011 Order, ECF No. [45], granting the Defendant's motion to dismiss those very claims. However, evidence regarding the Plaintiff's physical capacity and interactions with the Defendant prior to January 2006 is relevant to the Plaintiff's remaining claim. Evidence regarding the Plaintiff's age, race, and gender discrimination claims has no apparent relevance, and thus the Plaintiff cannot seek to admit any evidence relating to these claims without first identifying the legal theory under which the evidence would be admissible. See 9/29/2008 Order, ECF No. [6] (dismissing Plaintiff's age, race, and gender discrimination claims).
B. Evidence Regarding Disabilities Not Pled in the First Amended Complaint
Second, the Defendant moves to exclude any evidence regarding the Plaintiff's disabilities beyond that alleged in the First Amended Complaint, namely, " pain in his knees and shoulders," and temporary numbness in his hands. The Plaintiff contends that there is no heightened pleading requirement for ADA/Rehabilitation Act claims, and that he is entitled to introduce evidence regarding additional disabilities brought out during discovery. The Court lacks sufficient information in the present record to rule on the Defendant's motion. Therefore, the Court will deny this aspect of the Defendant's motion without prejudice, and instruct the parties to file additional pleadings on this issue.
C. Plaintiff's Proposed Expert Testimony
Third, the Defendant moves to exclude testimony from two of the Plaintiff's treating physicians, Dr. David Higgins and Dr. Roji Menon, on the grounds the Plaintiff failed to provide expert witness disclosures for the witnesses. The Plaintiff indicated that these witnesses will not provide expert testimony, but rather provide opinions regarding the Plaintiff's " medical condition and prognosis." Def.'s Opp'n at 2.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(2)(A) provides that " a party must disclose to the other parties the identity of any witness it may use at trial to present evidence under Federal Rule of Evidence 702, 703, or 705."
The requirement of a written report in paragraph (2)(B), however, applies only to those experts who are retained or specially employed to provide such testimony in the case or whose duties as an employee of a party regularly involve the giving of such testimony. A treating physician, for example, can be deposed or called to testify at trial without any requirement for a written report.
Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a) Advisory Comm.'s Notes (1993 Amendment). However, " [w]ithout an expert report, a treating physician may not testify as to issues of causation, foreseeability, prognosis, and permanency." Bynum v. MVM, Inc., 241 F.R.D. 52, 53 (D.D.C.2007) (citations omitted).
With this framework in mind, the Defendant's objection to Dr. Roji Menon is
Page 131
misplaced. The parties' Joint Pretrial Statement indicates Dr. Menon may testify " regarding plaintiff's medical condition and treatment." Jt. Pretial Stmt. at 9. Since Dr. Menon's testimony will be based only on his personal observations while treating the Plaintiff, no expert disclosure was necessary. In terms of Dr. Higgins, the Joint Pretrial Statement is more vague as to the scope of Dr. Higgins' proposed testimony. The Plaintiff stated that Dr. Higgins will testify " to the nature and extent of the plaintiff's injuries resulting from the fall, his treatment and ability to return to work." Id. at 8. To the extent Dr. Higgins intends to testify regarding his treatment of the Plaintiff based on his personal observations, the Plaintiff was not required to designate Dr. Higgins as an expert. However, Dr. Higgins may not offer opinions regarding the Plaintiff's prognosis in the future, or offer any opinions based on information not learned from his actual treatment of the Plaintiff. Bynum, 241 F.R.D. at 53; 8A Charles Alan Wright & Arthur R. Miller, Federal Practice & Procedure § 2031.1 (3d ed. 2012).
D. Retaliation by Opposing Plaintiff's Application for Temporary Disability Benefits
Fourth, the Defendant seeks to exclude evidence or argument that the Defendant retaliated against the Plaintiff by opposing his request for temporary disability benefits from the District of Columbia's Worker's Compensation Program. The Plaintiff indicated that he " does not intend to put on evidence in support of any [claim of retaliation]." Pl.'s Opp'n at 2. Accordingly, the Plaintiff shall be precluded from introducing any evidence or argument to the effect that the Defendant retaliated against the Plaintiff by opposing the Plaintiff's application for temporary disability benefits.
E. Retaliation by Opposing the Plaintiff's Disability Retirement Application
Fifth, the Defendant moves to exclude evidence or argument that the Defendant retaliated against the Plaintiff by opposing his application for disability retirement benefits. The Plaintiff did not respond to the Defendant's argument on this point, but as the Plaintiff noted in response to the Defendant's fourth contention, there are no retaliation claims at issue in this case. Therefore, the Plaintiff may not introduce any evidence or argument to the effect that the Defendant retaliated against the Plaintiff by opposing the Plaintiff's application for disability retirement benefits.
F. Evidence of Plaintiff's Disability Benefits
The Defendant moves in limine to admit evidence that the Plaintiff continues to receive total temporary disability benefits. Specifically, the Defendant seeks to admit three administrative decisions relating to the Plaintiff's application for disability benefits on the grounds that they are relevant to the question of whether or not the Plaintiff was an " otherwise qualified individual" when he sought to return to work in January 2006. The Plaintiff opposes the Defendant's motion, and separately objects to Defendant's Exhibits 4-7 and the testimony of Defendant's corporate designee, all of which relate to the issue of Plaintiff's disability benefits.
The Court agrees that statements made by a plaintiff in support of claims for disability benefits may be relevant to subsequent ADA and/or Rehabilitation Act claims, even if the receipt of benefits does not legally bar the plaintiff's claim. Swanks v. Wash. Metro. Area Transit Auth., 116 F.3d 582, 587 (D.C.Cir.1997). Moreover, any backpay the Plaintiff may
Page 132
recover may be offset to account for the disability benefits so as to eliminate any double recovery. Id.; McLean v. Runyon, 222 F.3d 1150, 1155-56 (9th Cir.2000). Thus, generally speaking, the Defendant is permitted to elicit testimony and make arguments concerning the fact that the Plaintiff has received total temporary disability benefits to support the Defendant's position that the Plaintiff was not an otherwise qualified individual during the relevant time period. However, this general principle does not support wholesale admission of the evidence and testimony on this issue proposed by the Defendant in the Joint Pretrial Statement.
Defendant's Exhibit 5 is the August 27, 2008 Administrative Law Judge decision regarding the Plaintiff's application for total temporary disability benefits. However, the evidence and testimony presented by the Plaintiff during the administrative proceeding and credited by the ALJ is entirely consistent with the Plaintiff's claims here— that he was able to return to work with certain accommodations in January 2006. E.g., Def.'s Ex. 5 at 9 (" The weight of the evidence of record indicates that [the Plaintiff] was temporarily totally disabled from April 9, 200[4] until January 20, 2006, when he became temporary [sic] partially disabled." ). The ALJ's decision does not appear to include any statements by the Plaintiff or any witnesses testifying on his behalf that are contrary to or inconsistent with the Plaintiff's allegation that he was an " otherwise qualified individual" as of January 20, 2006. The District of Columbia appealed the ALJ's August 2008 decision to the Compensation Review Board, which vacated and remanded the decision on the grounds that the ALJ relied on evidence outside the record in reaching the initial decision. Def.'s Ex. 6 at 2. This decision has even less relevance to the current case than the August 2008 ALJ decision in that it only addresses a technical defect in the ALJ's August 2008 decision, rather than the substantive question of if and when the Plaintiff was disabled. Defendant's Exhibit 7, the August 6, 2009 decision upon remand by the ALJ, is in all relevant respects identical to Defendant's Exhibit 5. Defendant's Exhibit 4 appears to be a spreadsheet of payments to the Plaintiff, presumably reflecting his total temporary disability benefits.
Because the Plaintiff does not appear to have made representations inconsistent with his current claims during the administrative process to receive disability benefits, it would be unduly confusing and distracting to the Jury to admit Defendant's Exhibits 5-7 altogether. The Defendant may introduce the August 2009 ALJ decision (Exhibit 7) for the purpose of establishing that the Plaintiff receives the benefits in question. However, the Defendant may not introduce the substance of that, or any other decision issued as part of the administrative disability claim process unless the Defendant identifies the relevance of the particular statements to be introduced. Moreover, the Defendant may not introduce the amount of any benefits received by the Defendant, including Exhibit 4, as the set-off of backpay is an issue within the Court's discretion. Swanks, 116 F.3d at 587; McLean, 222 F.3d at 1155-56 & n. 7.
Apart from Defendant's Exhibits 4-7, the Plaintiff's only remaining objection is to the proposed testimony of the Defendant's " corporate designee." The Joint Pretrial Statement indicates the Defendant intends to call a corporate designee to testify regarding: (1) " the District's response to plaintiff's claim for disability and workman's compensation [and] the subsequent proceedings" ; and (2) disability payments made to the plaintiff by the Defendant. Jt. Pretrial Stmt. at 11. It would appear that to some extent the corporate designee was going to be called in response
Page 133
to any claim of retaliation the Plaintiff might raise in the context of his applications for disability benefits and retirement. See supra, Section A.4-5. Such testimony is no longer relevant at the point the Plaintiff conceded he may not raise any retaliation claims during trial. As to the remainder of the designee's proposed testimony, such testimony must conform to the Court's ruling supra regarding the admissibility of evidence and argument regarding the Plaintiff's total temporary disability benefits— that is, the testimony must reflect specific statements or claims presented in support of the Plaintiff's claims that are contrary to or inconsistent with the Plaintiff's assertion that he was an " otherwise qualified individual" when he sought an accommodation in January 2006. The Defendant may not present any testimony regarding the amount of benefits the Defendant has or continues to receive at this stage of the proceedings.
For the foregoing reasons, the Defendant's motion in limine, and the Plaintiff's objections to the Defendant's Exhibits 4-7 and testimony of the corporate designee are both granted in part and denied in part. The Plaintiff may admit evidence regarding his physical condition and interactions with his employer prior to January 2006, but may not allege that the Defendant is liable for any claims prior to January 2006. The parties shall adhere to the briefing schedule in the accompanying Order regarding the scope of the disability the Plaintiff will allege at trial vis a vis the First Amended Complaint. The Plaintiff's treating physicians may testify from personal knowledge regarding the Plaintiff's injuries, but may not offer any opinions regarding the Plaintiff's prognosis or any opinions based on information not learned from actual treatment of the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff shall be precluded from arguing that the Defendant retaliated against him insofar as the Defendant opposed his applications for total temporary disability benefits and disability retirement benefits. Finally, the Defendant may present evidence regarding the Plaintiff's receipt of total temporary disability benefits as set forth supra.

Luke Jerram: Invisible Homeless
- July 8 2016 - This life-sized sleeping glass figure by internationally acclaimed artist Luke Jerram is designed to highlight the growing number of 'invisible' homeless in the UK. Shrouded in a glass blanket, the fragile form calls attention to the treatment of homeless individuals, in particular our tendency to overlook them. The figure represents not only those sleeping on the streets, but also those stuck in hostels, squats or other forms of sub-standard housing.

Major Confessions
Tracy Ung | Oct 04, 2004 | Comments 0
All of the symptoms where there and yet I refused to accept the prognosis: I loathed going to class, I detested the material, and my passion and love for learning seemed to have vanished into thin air.
I hated my major.
But it seems as if time and time again, the hardest factor of this dilemma is not confronting our misery or actually switching majors, but figuring out how to inform our parents

|Antonio Henrique Amaral
São Paulo, Brazil
|Known for
|Current artist
Antonio Henrique Amaral is a present-day Brazilian painter and printmaker. He is most well known for his images artistic political critiques in the form of a series of paintings of bananas that have been mutilated by forks and ropes.[1]
Amaral was born in 1935 in São Paulo, Brazil,[2] where he now lives and works. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Law from the Universidade de São Paulo in São Paulo, Brazil. His interest in art stems from a visit to the 1st Biennial in São Paulo in 1951, where he was intrigued by the modern art he saw. In 1952, he took drawing classes from Roberto Sambonet through the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art. Later, in 1957, he entered the School of Engraving and was trained to do woodcuts and linocuts by Lívio Abramo. Amaral's first solo exhibition came in 1958 when he showed a group of engravings at the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art.[3] In 1959 Amaral enrolled in the Pratt Graphic Institute in New York City where he learned wood engraving from Shiko Munakata and W. Rogalsky.[4] In 1964, there was a coup d'état in Amaral's native Brazil that replaced the democratic government with a military dictatorship. This new government under the military juntas and the sociopolitical and economic effects it had would become the focus of many of his later paintings. In 1967, Amaral opened an exhibition of woodcuts entitled "O meu e o seu" ("Mine and Yours"), after which he switched to painting as his primary medium.[3] From 1968 to 1975, he painted a series of banana paintings, which he is most famous for. He has traveled between Brazil and New York since the early 1970s, continuing to paint.
As the banana was Amaral's favorite subject and symbolic representation, it is important to note that he was not the first Brazilian painter to use it. Albert Eckhout (1610–1665), the Dutch Brazilian painter from the 17th century, also associated the banana with the region that would later become Brazil. Antonio Henrique Amaral's own great-aunt, Tarsila do Amaral (1886–1973), also used the banana tree and leaf as symbolic of Brazil in the background of many of her paintings. Lasar Segall (1891–1957) also used banana trees as identification for Brazilian people in his painting, Bananal (1927). These artists all contributed to the emergence of the banana as a symbol of Brazil that Amaral would later adopt.[5]
The Tropicalismo movement that occurred in Brazil was mostly a musical movement, although it also had some aspects of literature, poetry, and visual art. The movement was a "cycle of intense creative activity and cultural transformation"[5] as well as a revival of the Antropofagia movement headed by Tarsila do Amaral in the 1920s and 30s. The movement concerned itself with cultural cannibalism in order to create something that is uniquely Brazilian. The Tropicalismo Movement, as well as Amaral's banana paintings that fell under that category of Tropicalismo, coincided with the political upheaval of the coup d'état and later repression under the military dictatorship.[6]
The Banana Paintings[edit]
In 1964, General Humberto de Alencar Castelo Branco led a coup that replaced the existing government with a military junta. There was a severe recession, which led to popular dissatisfaction with the government. By 1968, urban guerilla warfare was rampant. However, this also provoked paramilitary death squads, censorship, and harsh political repression.[1] Amaral's banana paintings were a direct result of the state of Brazil by 1968 who used the banana as a subversive symbol.
From 1968 to 1975, Antonio Henrique Amaral painted two series of paintings focused solely on bananas. The first, painted mainly from 1968 to 1972, was titled Brasiliana, while the second, from 1973 to 1974, was titled Campos de batallha, or Battlefields. Brasiliana was more of a banana festival or, as the Brazilians would say, "bananas to sell and to give away." These bananas were generally less corrupted than Amaral's later bananas but by the end of the series, these too have begun to rot and become entangled in ropes. The Campos de batalha series began around 1973, after Amaral moved back to New York City to avoid the intense censorship of the Brazilian government. In this series, Amaral introduces sharp, metallic objects like forks and knives that penetrate and cut the bananas.[6]
The symbol of the banana was complex and diverse. In the 1920s, in Tarsila do Amaral's day, the banana represented the unique culture and identity of Brazil. By the time Antonio Henrique Amaral began painting bananas, their meaning had been added too. In one regard, the banana symbolized the existence of the "banana republics." Brazil was the largest exporter of bananas in the world, making up approximately twenty-three percent of all the world's bananas.[7] The economic importance of such a valuable resource was not lost on the Brazilians but they disliked it being the metaphor for behavior because unfortunately for the Brazilian, this export was taken advantage of and exploited by more prosperous countries, particularly the United States of America. Therefore the banana became synonymous with American imperialism and Brazilian dependence on richer countries.[5] The banana mostly represented the people in general and the state of the nation politically, socially, and economically. By the perfectionism in his art, it seemed as though Amaral was attempting to reestablish the importance of the banana as a symbol. The first of the banana series, Boa vizinhanca (The Good Neighbor) in 1968 linked the Brazilian and American flags with a banana, thus pointing out the obvious connection between the two countries. He also changed the Brazilian motto on the flag to highlight the word Esso, which was a large oil company in Brazil. After Boa vizinhança, his paintings became more critical and darker. Amaral began to paint his bananas as rotting, mutilated, turning into "mud," bound with cord, etc. The banana being synonymous with the human body was "being victimized by colonialism, repression, and torture."[6] [8] The transition from his earlier to his later banana paintings is characterized by the sharp, pointed objects in Battlefields. The objects are gray and black, reminding the viewer of technology and smoke. The forks and knives were metaphors for repression and torture. Battlefields is the confrontation between the inorganic and the organic, the machine and the body. The ropes and sharp objects directly represent the repression occurring under the military dictatorship. The fact that the Battlefield paintings are numbered not named reinforced the anonymity of the victims of the regime.[5] By mutilating his bananas, Amaral reveals the problems in Brazil.
Amaral's style is full of close-ups and strange angles. He paints with photorealism and extreme detail. His use of yellows and greens refer to the Brazilian flag and therefore to Brazilians themselves. He often uses dramatic coloring, dark values, and lots of shadow. The verticals and diagonals he uses, especially in Alone in Green (1973) and Battlefield #31 (1974), bring stress and energy to his paintings, trying to evoke the feeling that what is going on in Brazil is wrong.[9]

Peacemaking 101 :: How to Handle ConflictSaturday, November 29, 2008
Conflict is a natural and unavoidable part of life and business. While it is uncomfortable, it doesn't have to be viewed as a bad thing. When handled properly, conflict can smooth away rough edges, separate poor ideas from the good, and help create more opportunities for success.
In fact, the more you surround yourself with high caliber people, the more likely it is that you are going to clash on some areas. It's a natural part of life, and as Simon T. Bailey says, "only a diamond can cut another diamond".
While conflict is normal and bound to happen, being vindictive, holding grudges and keeping petty lists of wrongs done to you is not a productive way of handling it. Instead, it is a surefire way to increase stress in your life as well as close doors to future opportunities and burn relational bridges.
This coming week on Twitter I'll be doing a series called Peacemaking 101 which will share short pieces of advice on handling conflict in a productive and edifying manner. Conflict can make you bitter or better - how you choose to deal with it is up to you.
You can follow along on Twitter here. You can also catch up on our previous Twitter series by visiting the links in the right hand column of this page.

This disclosure is related to a method and/or apparatus for improving bus utilization where a modem, such as a digital subscriber line (DSL) modem, is employed.
Devices that handle, store, display, route and/or process information, such as computers or other computing devices, for example, may transmit and/or receive data or other information in a packet format, such as between itself and other computing devices or computing platforms, over or via a network, such as a telecommunications network. A computing device or other computing platform may include a processor and memory. Such a device may in at least some cases be coupled via a local bus to a modem.
A modem may comprise any device that modulates and/or demodulates data, examples of which include, but are not limited to, an analog modem, a cable modem, or a digital subscriber line (DSL) modem. Modems may be used to process data and/or other types of information transmitted and/or received via a network. Likewise, one example of a local bus or communications link may include a high-speed connection, such as a local bus or communications link that complies with the Universal Serial Bus (USB) Specification, version 1.1, published September 1998, hereinafter referred to as a USB compliant bus, USB compliant local bus, or simply a universal serial bus or USB.
A computing device or platform, such as previously described, if coupled to a network, such as via a modem, for example, may comprise a node on the network. Such a network may include a plurality of interconnected nodes, and, therefore, may comprise, for example, without limitation, nodes other than the previously mentioned computing device that may comprise, for example, personal data assistants (PDAs), set tops boxes, peripherals, servers and/or terminals.
A computing device or platform, such as a computer, for example, may typically include an operating system. Furthermore, code may be present, such as on the computing device, on the platform, or on the modem, that initializes the modem. Such code may also provide the ability to transfer data from the computing device or platform to another node on the network via the modem. In the case of a DSL network, the rate the modem transmits and/or receives data, e.g., the transmission rate and/or the reception rate, sometimes referred to as the data rate, may be set, at least in part, by a DSL central office (CO). The DSL CO is typically coupled to the modem via the network. The CO will typically transmit a training signal to the DSL modem. The modem will typically process the training signal to then establish a data rate for the modem.
The rate at which a computing platform may transfer data to another device, such as a peripheral, for example, coupled to the platform via a USB compliant local bus may be set, at least in part, based on initialization of the modem. During such modem initialization, the computing platform may allocate or open a channel or pipe via the USB compliant bus to the peripheral, for example, or to another USB compliant device, and transfer data over the channel using a communication method such as, for example, described in the aforementioned USB specification. A channel is defined in the USB specification as the number of packets being transferred per millisecond between the computing device or platform and a USB compliant device. In circumstances where a DSL modem operates as a USB compliant device or USB device, the computing device or platform may employ one of at least two communications techniques to execute data transfers to the DSL modem at 8 Mbs or higher. One such USB communications technique is known as "Bulk USB" and the other technique is known as isochronous (ISO) USB. The maximum data transfer rate with these techniques is limited by the theoretical maximum bandwidth of the USB compliant bus and the implementation specific details associated with the aforementioned operating system and modem driver software. According to USB specification version 1.1, the maximum data transfer rate of a single channel or pipe is approximately 10 Mbits/sec.
For Bulk USB, a USB channel is not pre-allocated to any particular USB device and may be shared equally among the available or coupled USB devices. However, the maximum data throughput rate of devices using Bulk USB may be dependent, at least in part, on the ability of the operating system to respond in real time to the particular USB devices. Thus, the data rate between the platform and the DSL modem may be limited when many USB devices are coupled to the platform.
With ISO USB, the USB bandwidth may be pre-allocated to a coupled USB device by the computing platform upon initialization of the modem. However, bandwidth pre-allocation may present problems if other USB devices are also coupled via the USB compliant bus. Specifically, DSL modems may transfer data at a high data rate and may employ a high bandwidth. Thus, the modem may utilize a large percentage of the total bandwidth available. If USB devices are coupled to the USB compliant when it is oversubscribed (e.g. the USB devices coupled to the USB compliant bus exceed the available bandwidth), the platform may not allow these other devices to be installed on the bus. Likewise, it may also detrimentally impact the performance of a USB device coupled to the bus that employs Bulk USB, e.g., a Bulk USB device, if a high bandwidth ISO USB device is also coupled to the bus.
Subject matter is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. The claimed subject matter, however, both as to organization and method of operation, together with objects, features, and appendages thereof, may best be understood by reference of the following detailed description when read with the accompanying drawing in which:
In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the claimed subject matter. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the claimed subject matter may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components and circuits have not been described in detail in order so as not to obscure the claimed subject matter.
Although the claimed subject matter is not limited in scope in this respect,
Computing platform 12 may include a USB compliant interface or USB interface 18 and memory 20. Memory 20 may comprise data, such as to be transferred, as well as program code 22. USB interface 18 may include code and hardware that provide the capability to couple program code 22 with USB 14. Examples of such program code 22 may include an operating system, driver code, and/or DSL transceiver code. Platform 12 in this embodiment executes program code 22 having instructions stored in memory 20 that produce the functionality described hereinafter. Although a USB compliant bus 14 here couples platform 12 to modem 16, it is understood that this bus may comprise any bus having a data rate allocated specifically to modem 16.
Although the claimed subject matter is not limited in scope in this respect, modem 16 may comprise transceiver 26, such as, for example, a DSL transceiver, coupled to USB controller 28. Transceiver 26 here includes any device for transmitting and receiving signals via a network media, communications line or a communications network. One example, without limitation, of course, of such a transceiver includes part number GS7070 manufactured by Globespan Virata (formerly Globespan Inc.) of Red Bank, N.J. Controller 28 may include a computational device such as, but not limited to, a state machine, a digital signal processor, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) or a processor that conducts arithmetic and/or logical computations. An example of controller 28, again without limitation, may include part number AN2131 QC manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor of San Jose, Calif.
Although shown in
Although the claimed subject matter is not limited in scope in this respect,
In block 102, a platform, such as 12, executing program code, such as, but not limited to, driver code, such as 22, for example, may open a USB isochronous (ISO) channel to modem, such as 16, for example. Such a USB ISO channel may be open, for example, with an initial USB data rate allocated to modem 16. On an initial execution of die program code, for example, the initial data rate may be set to a specified maximum ISO data rate available for a USB channel. This initial ISO data rate will herein be referred to as the "initial data rate". In one embodiment, although the claimed subject matter is not limited in scope in this respect, a registry table may be provided in memory, such as on the platform, listing the possible data rates for different DSLAM implementations along with corresponding USB setting for these DSLAM implementations. The initials data rate may be taken from this table in this particular embodiment, although, the claimed subject matter is not limited in scope in this respect. In block 104, the platform may train the communications data rate of the modem at the initial rate.
Here, although again, the claimed subject matter is not limited in scope in this respect, this table may include an upper and a lower limit of trained rates capable of being supported. The table may be configured to take into account various properties, including the DSLAM employed, such as vendor, model, etc., and the mode of the DSL connection, such as fast or interleaved, for example. Thus, in this particular embodiment, the platform is able to select a value from the table corresponding to, for example, a vendor of the DSLAM, a framing mode of the modem, etc.
In addition to obtaining a rate from a table, the platform may also attempt to determine an appropriate or feasible rate based on measurements. Although the claimed subject matter is not limited in scope in this respect, in block 103, a platform, such as 12, may determine a modem rate by sending a signal to the central office via USB 14 and modem 16. Typically, this may be accomplished by modem 16 sending a signal to the central office via network 17 requesting establishment of a connection. Here, of course, the term "connection" refers to mutually operational communication between the central office and the platform, in this embodiment. In response thereto, the central office may send a training signal to modem 16. Modem 16 and the central office may detect each other's signals and exchange operational information. Modem 16 may use this operational information and the training signal to determine a rate at which modem 16 may transmit and receive data via network 17. Typically, it is desirable that the rate be as high as potentially feasible. This rate is referred to herein as the "network communications data transfer rate", or "communications data rate." It is noted that although block 103 is illustrated in
In block 105, the platform detects whether the communications data rate is equal to the initial data rate of the USB ISO channel. If the communications data rate is equal to the initial data rate of the USB ISO channel, the data rate of the USB ISO channel and current modem rate is not changed, and method 100 ends, in this particular embodiment. Of course, alternative embodiments may then go on to provide additional or alternative features.
Likewise, if the communications rate is not equal to the initial data rate of the USB ISO channel, in block 106, a determination may be made whether the communications rate exceeds the bandwidth of the USB ISO channel, here the data rate of the available USB. The data rate of the available USB is the maximum rate that data can be transferred over the USB between the platform and the modem, for this embodiment. If the communications data rate is not greater than the data rate of the USB ISO channel, a platform, such as 12, may then automatically reduce the initial data rate, if appropriate, so that the bandwidth of the opened USB ISO channel does not exceed the limitation of available USB bandwidth (inclusive of bandwidth allocated to other peripherals on the USB). In block 108, for example, the data rate of the USB channel may be reduced to match the communications data rate in order to conserve bandwidth.
If the communications rate is greater than the available USB rate, in block 112, platform 12 may attempt to open the largest USB channel possible for this embodiment to support the communications data rate so as to reduce the impact on performance to the extent possible. It is noted, however, for a variety of reasons, such as bandwidth considerations, rather than open the largest USB channel, instead, a larger USB channel may be open that is less than the largest USB channel, and then, depending on the embodiment and situation, potentially adjusted further. For example, the current data rate of the USB channel for modem 16 may be set to a larger isochronous data rate subject to the limitation of available USB bandwidth (inclusive of bandwidth allocated to other peripherals on the USB). As previously indicated, for this embodiment, isochronous data rates may be selected from a table stored in memory. This table may list possible USB isochronous data rates corresponding to the vendor of the DSLAM communicating with the modem, a framing mode of the modem, etc., as previously described; the platform may not successfully open the largest or maximum USB channel based on the rate from the table, for this particular embodiment, that is.
In block 116, platform 12 executing program code, such as 22, for example, may determine if the USB ISO channel has been opened to support communications data rate. If the USB ISO channel has not been opened to support the communications data rate, in block 110, the current data rate of the USB ISO channel may be reduced to a smaller USB channel, such as the next smaller USB isochronous data rate available as supported by modem 16, in the particular embodiment. If the USB ISO channel is successfully opened, in block 120, platform 12 may provide an indication signal to the modem 16 via USB 14 to change (e.g. retrain) the data rate that modem 16 transfers data via the network 17. In block 122, platform 12 stores the data rate of the current USB ISO channel.
It will, of course, be understood that, although particular embodiments have just been described, the claimed subject matter is not limited in scope to a particular embodiment or implementation. For example, one embodiment may be in hardware, whereas another embodiment may be in software. Likewise, an embodiment may be in firmware, or any combination of hardware, software, or firmware, for example. Furthermore, although the claimed subject matter is not limited in scope in this respect, one embodiment may comprise an article, such as a storage medium. Such a storage medium, such as, for example, a CD-ROM, or a disk, may have stored thereon instructions, which when executed by a system, such as a computer system or platform, or an imaging system, for example, may result in an embodiment of a method in accordance with the claimed subject matter being executed, such as an embodiment of a method of improved bus utilization, for example, as previously described.
While certain features of the claimed subject matter have been illustrated and described herein, many modifications, substitutions, changes and equivalents will now occur to those skilled in the art. It is, therefore, to be understood that the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications and changes as fall within the true spirit of the invention.

American Buffalo in Atlanta
The premiere of American Buffalo on Broadway prompted an array of negative responses from the critics back in 1977. Despite much high praise for an intense script and vivid performances, most thought the play unsatisfying.
By David Mamet
Empty Gate
14th Street Playhouse, Atlanta
June 11th, 1994.
The premiere of American Buffalo on Broadway prompted an array of negative responses from the critics back in 1977. Despite much high praise for an intense script and vivid performances, most thought the play unsatisfying. Many complained that nothing happens in this story, which follows three smalltime hustlers' aborted plans to steal a valuable coin collection. Leonard Probst perhaps captured his colleagues' sentiments best: 'I kept waiting for all the symbolism to add up to something, but it didn't. The center of the play is missing."
In the years following these criticisms, many scholars have examined the play to discover a rich subtext beneath its surface where apparently nothing happens. Dramatic action drives this play, not plot. And the foundation for this action is family_the fractured family composed of Don, Teach, and Bobby. Their home away from home_their only real home_is Don's Resale Shop. Individually and collectively, their competitiveness, jealousy, loyalty, and betrayal motivate a complex of ever- shifting power struggles that, accentuated in performance, can illuminate the real meaning of American Buffalo.
Unfortunately, the creators of the Empty Gate production seemed generally oblivious to the personal power struggles that make the play captivating. Director Richard Kimmel opted for an overall breakneck-speed tempo that did little to serve the play. The pace was usually driven by Teach (Andrew Garman), whose first entrance felt like a tornado. Accompanied by Teach's wild ranting and raving against "friends" Grace and Ruthie, Garman's constant movement during his opening monologue set the tone for his entire performance. The problem: for all of Garman's enormous energy, his portrayal of Teach effectively maintained one monotonous note. Nuance was sacrificed for freneticism, and beneath it all, one quickly realized that this Teach had nothing going on.
Garman's Teach became a caricature of the goofy bungler who would never get it right. His toothy grin often evoked laughter, but just as often it seemed inappropriate to the character. Walter Cole's nickname is, after all, "Teach," yet Garman's version conveyed the impression of an aspiring novice to the con-game business rather than ring-leader. Garman seemed too young for the role, and his boyish interpretation of Teach practically obscured the play's dramatic action.
The dynamics of this distorted family are based on the conflicting desires of Teach and Bobby: to earn Don's respect and approval. Don emerges as the patriarchal figure of the trio, and throughout the play, Teach and Bobby vie for the position of his number-one son. Neil Alan as Don created the production's most powerful and intelligent performance. Alan developed an interesting combination of gruffness and gentleness in Don, and the actor clearly understand's Don's position as mentor to both of his mixed-up sons. Alan must also be credited for creating most of the production's quiet moments when the subtext was allowed to resonate_a welcome respite from Teach's constant blustering.
Bobby's loyalty to Don is an essential element of the play's competitive dynamic. Although Teach initially succeeds in convincing Don to exclude Bobby from the heist, he ultimately loses to Bobby when Bobby reveals that he bought another buffalo-head nickel from a coin shop "For Donny. Bobby commits a true selfless act, and this revelation solidifies his relationship with Don. Bobby's admission also sets up the play's climax in which Teach realizes he will never know the genuine affection that Don and Bob share.
Brian Kimmel portrayed Bobby as a rather oafish young man_which the play calls for to some degree. But again I believe the director allowed his actor to push too far into the realm of caricature. The script implies that Bobby, an ax-junkie, resorts to taking heroin again in the second act, but when we first meet him, Bobby is clean. Kimmel's Bobby appeared in a dazed stupor throughout the play, which did little to arouse audience empathy. In addition, the combination of Kimmel's Bobby and Garman's Teach undercut the play's climax I didn't care if Don booted both of them out of his shop forever.
"Forever" is the key word here. Perhaps many of those early critics bemoaned their belief that nothing happens in American Buffalo because its superficial treatment can leave the impression that we are witnessing nothing more than another day in the life of these petty criminals. The Empty Gate production has succeeded only in perpetuating that myth. In the play's final scene with all three characters on stage, Don nurses Bobby (who has been brutally hit in the head by Teach) while Teach hovers over them repeating drivel, still pathetically eager for Don's approval_and forgiveness. Don orders Teach to "Go and get your car," clearly focussing all of his attention on Bobby while dismissing Teach. This is not just a day in the life. As result of Teach's lies, paranoia, and brutality, his relationship with Don has been severed. Things between them will never be the same.
In the closing moments of the Empty Gate production, Teach left the stage with a shrug of his shoulders, oblivious to what he had lost. Meanwhile, Don sat crouched on the floor with Bobby in his arms. Very few members of the audience were able to see their faces as the reunited father and son shared mutual apologies. Too many of us were shut out from the production's most human moment. Perhaps that was the director's intention. He seemed to find very little humanity to be admired in Mamet's play.
