The present invention relates to the transfer of data between interfacing systems of synchronous logic with dissimilar non-harmonic clocking rates. More particularly, it relates to means for avoiding metastability in latches which receive data signals generated in one such interfacing system and clocking signals generated on the other interfacing system.
An error condition exists at the interface of two systems of synchronous logic with dissimilar and asynchronous clocking rates because of what is commonly referred to as the metastable latch problem. In a bistable latch where the coincidental occurrence of two pulses is required to change the state of the latch, an anomalous failure mode occurs when the two actuating pulses do not overlap sufficiently to cause the latch to completely switch from one of its stable states to the other. With such insufficient overlap of the two actuating pulses, the output or outputs of the latch do not go to either one of the stable up or down levels but actually perturbate at or around a third level referred to as the metastable level. The metastable level is exactly half way between the up and down levels, and when metastability occurs, the latch outputs either momentarily sit at the metastable level before randomly changing to a stable up or down level or alternatively they oscillate around this metastable level.
In latches actuated by signals from two different logic systems running under different and asynchronous clocking rates, the metastable latch problem arises because the clock pulse of one of the systems overlaps, captures or samples an insufficient portion of the data signal from the other system. It is particularly difficult to correct metastability in the transfer of data between two asychronous systems because the phase of the data signals of each of the two systems is continuously changing with respect to the clock pulses of the other system.
As far as it is caused by differences in clocking rates the metastable latch problem can be solved with known techniques, by running both interfacing systems, from a single clock or two synchronized clocks, at the same clocking rate or at harmonically related clocking rates. However, using the same clocking rate or a harmonic relationship between the two clocking rates is not always a practical solution in any given situation, since it may not allow either system to run anywhere near its optimum operating rate. What is needed is a relationship between the two clocking rates that would allow each of the interfacing systems to approach its maximum performance level while providing the reliable sampling of intersystem logic states.
In accordance with the present invention, the metastable latch problem in interfacing systems operating at different clock rates is simplified by using a single oscillating source to derive both clocks and selecting harmonically unrelated periods of the clocks, T1 and T2, by the following formula: ##EQU2## where S is a rational number and α is the largest common denominator of T1 and T2. α then defines a window that can be set to facilitate the transfer of data pulses from one of the systems to another without the phase variation of the clocks causing metastable conditions in latch circuits actuated by signals from both systems.
Therefore, it is the object of this invention to avoid metastability in latches actuated by concurrent signals from the two interfacing systems of synchronous logic with dissimilar and non-harmonic clocking rates.
It is another object of this invention to provide a highly efficient data interface between two different synchronous logic systems with dissimilar clocking rates.
It is another object of this invention to provide a new nonsynchronous clocking scheme.
These and other objects of the invention can be better understood from the following description of the preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawings of which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a simple latch along with diagrams of input and output pulses of the latch which illustrate the metastable condition.
FIG. 2 is a graph illustrating the relationship between a system clock and a subsystem clock in an nonsynchronously operated computer system.
FIG. 3 is a graph showing the hatched square in FIG. 2 in greater detail to illustrate the manner in which nonsynchronous clock rates are selected in accordance with the present invention.
FIGS. 4a to 4c show pulse synchronous and associated waveforms showing desirable mutual properties of the clocks obtained by selecting the clocks in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram computer system using the clocking scheme of the present invention, and
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the phase lock loop system for generating two clocks in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, the metastable latch condition occurs in the latch 10 when two pulses D1 and C2, whose coincidental occurrence is necessary for the setting of the state of the latch 10, do not occur with sufficient overlap 12 for the flip flop 14 of the latch to fully switch from one state to another. This causes the latch 10 to drop into what is referred to as the metastable state. In the metastable state, the outputs Q and Q of the latch are neither at a stable up (1) or down (0) level but instead both are at a third level half way between the 0 and 1 levels. This third level is undecipherable by other circuits in the system causing an error condition to exist.
As can be seen, when the system clock C2 is rising just as a data signal D1 rises, an insufficient amount of the data signal D1 is sampled during the clock pulse C1 to properly activate the flip flop 14. The flip flop 14 being confused by the signals momentarily drops into the metastable state causing both outputs of the latch to go to a level m half way between the up and down levels of the flip flop. Eventually, the flip flop 14 randomly assumes one of its two stable states which may or may not be the correct stable state. The phasing of the two input pulses, illustrated in FIG. 1, can arise for a number of reasons. However, the reason we are concerned with here is the constant changing in the phase between the two pulses C2 and D1, which occurs when these pulses are from different systems of synchronous logic with dissimilar and asynchronous clocking rates.
One way of eliminating this cause of metastability, with known techniques, involves making the clocking rates of the two systems the same and providing them from a single pulse source or from two synchronized sources. Another approach is to operate one clock at a harmonic frequency of the other and again supply them from a single source or two synchronized sources. However, either of these approaches may not be the best solution in a particular situation.
The problem with always using the same or harmonically related clocks can be better understood by reference to FIG. 2 where the numbers along the ordinate represent possible subsystem clock periods T2, while the numbers along the abcissa represent possible system periods T1. Assume now that in the system under discussion, the most efficient and fastest operation of the subsystem is with the period of the subsystem clock set at about 24 nanoseconds, while the most efficient and fastest operation of the system is with the period of the system clock set at about 19 nanoseconds. With these constraints, it is obvious that we can run the system clock at 24 nanoseconds, or in other words the same speed as the subsystem clock, but we could not run the system clock at 12 nanoseconds which would be the first harmonic of the subsystem clock. However, it is possible with the techniques of the present invention to operate the system clock with a period shorter than 24 nanoseconds and longer than 12 nanoseconds without incurring metastability caused by asynchronous operation of the two clocks T1 and T2.
The hatched out area in FIG. 2 defines the concurrence of the acceptable ranges of operation of the two clocks. In accordance with the present invention, the operating periods of the two clocks is selected to be within this region of concurrence along one of the lines S radiating out from the zero point on the graph between the fundamental and first harmonic lines. These radiating lines have a slope, ##EQU3## where S is a rational number (i.e., (T2 /α) and (T1 /α) are integers) and α is the largest common denominator of T1 and T2 or ##EQU4##and S=sn /sd.
FIG. 3 shows the hatched area in FIG. 2 in more detail with the ratio T1 /T2 shown at the top of each radiating line S and various values of indicated, along each line S. While S is a rational number, there are only a finite number of different pulse phase relationships between C1 and C2 before the relationships repeat themselves. In effect, two pulse trains represented by C1 and C2 precess at the rate of time units per cycle. For any two periods T1 and T2 with an S which is a rational number, the number of such phase relationships, relative to the clock period of interest, Tn, is equal to Tn /α. As an example, assume that the period of the channel clock is set to be 25 nanoseconds, then in accordance with the present invention, the period of the processor clock is selected from the graph of FIG. 3 to be 20 nanoseconds. By definition, α then would be 5.
As shown in FIG. 4a, only four different transition positions of clock C2 can occur during any period of the clock C1. Similarly, there are only five different positions in which the leading edge transition of clock C1 can occur during any period of clock C2. These positions occur at 5 nanosecond intervals meaning that there are 5 nanosecond intervals, or "windows" in which the leading edge transition of one clock pulse will never occur during any given period of the other clock. By delaying one clock by α/2 time units with respect to the other, we can move these intervals or windows so they will occur at the time of a critical transition.
C2 ' is the waveform for C2, delayed by α/2=2.5 nanoseconds, such that alignment of the two clock critical (in this case, trailing) edges is avoided for all pulse pair combinations. The relationship between clock pulse sequences repeat every, T2 /α=5 pulses of C1 or T1 /α=4 pulses of C2 ' and precession between the pulse trains is at the rate of α=5 nanoseconds per cycle of either clock.
In FIG. 4b, two closely coupled master-slave flip flops, FF-1 and FF-2, are used to transfer data signals (D2) from a system clocked by C2 ' to a system clocked by C1. The flip flops FF1 and FF-2 are of the type shown in FIG. 9.21 and described beginning on page 233 of a book entitled "Introduction to Switching Theory & Logical Design", Second Edition, by Fredrick J. Hill and Gerald R. Peterson, published by John Wiley & Son, New York in 1974. These flip-flops are designed for trailing edge actuation between master and slave sections. Edge actuation flip flops such as the master slave flip flop are used to avoid metastability problems with other combinations of critical edges than those aligned in accordance with the present invention. Signal D2 may arrive at FF-1 anytime during a C2 cycle and may persist for one or more of the C2 cycles. At the output of FF-1, D2 has been retimed to one of the critical edges of C2 ' (a', b', etc. . . . ) such that transitions of D2 ' are not coincident with critical edges of C1 (a, b, etc. . . . ). Thus, after D2 ' is retimed in FF-2 by C1, D2 " is generated at one of the times shown depending on which C1 pulse samples D2 '. In the case where C1 edge `e` performs the sampling, edge `a` will resample the same D2 ' signal one C1 cycle later, resulting in the two cycle minimum output pulse shown. Transfers conducted by all other combinations of edge pairs will result in one cycle minimum pulses out, as shown.
FIG. 4(c) shows corresponding relationships for transfers from a system clocked by C1 to a system clocked by C2. Since C2 has a longer period than C1, oversampling of D1 ' is not possible, but undersampling would occur if a one cycle D1 ' pulse were to arrive between C1 edges `e` and `a`. To prevent missing this event, all D1 pulses must have a minimum width of two cycles. Then D1 " will be two cycles minimum duration except for an input pulse rising with edge `e`. This will not be sampled by C2 ' until edge `a` arrives, resulting in the one cycle output pulse shown.
In FIG. 5, a synchronizer is shown for transferring clocked data bits back and forth between the processor 30 and the channel 32 one bit at a time. The synchronizer is formed of the two sequences of the type discussed in connection with FIG. 4 in each direction making a total of four clocked master slave flip flops 34 to 40. Each of these flip flops receives a data signal from one of the other of the systems, and a clock pulse from a clock generator 42, which will be described hereinafter. Transmission delays of various amounts are involved in the transmission of the clock pulses and the data registers. These delays must be taken into account to avoid metastability due to these delays. However, some compensation on such delays is well known in the prior art. They are disregarded here for simplicity and understanding of the present invention.
Assume we have the situation described in FIG. 1, where the data signal D1 is being transmitted from system 1 or the processor to system 2 or the channel. Then the data signal D, in FIG. 5 is fed into a first latch 34 along with the clock C1 to set the latch 34 and the clock C1 is used to reset the latch. The trailing edge of the output pulse D1 of latch 34 is therefore fixed to coincide with the trailing edge of the clock pulse C1. The output pulse D1 is fed to the input of latch 36 along with the clock C2 ', where the phasing at the inputs is set to be as previously described and shown in FIG. 4 by the relationship between curves D1 and C2 '.
In the real systems of course, the window would not actually be a full 5 nanoseconds. Consideration must be given to deviations in the occurrences of the pulses from system to system because of manufacturing tolerances and within each system depending on design and implementation options.
The clock generator 42 in FIG. 5 is shown in more detail in FIG. 6. As can be seen, it contains a phase lock loop. The function of the phase lock loop is to provide a phase and frequency relationship between clock pulses C1 and C2 for the processor and channel systems respectively. The phase lock loop consists of four basic components, the voltage controlled oscillator 50, the frequency divider 52, phase frequency comparator 54 and a low pass filter. The input to the phase lock loop is from an oscillator 56 which generates the clock signal C1 for the processor. The frequency of oscillation of the oscillator is set at F1 =1/T1. The output of the oscillator is divided by T2 /α in divider 58 before being fed to the phase/frequency comparator 54. The frequency phase comparator 54 compares the output of divider circuit 58 with the output of divider circuit 52 which divides the output of the voltage controlled oscillator 50 by T1 /α. This is to determine if the voltage controlled oscillator 50 is tracking the oscillator 56. This is done by comparing the positive transition of circuit 58 to the positive transition of the frequency divider 52. If the reference is early, the output of the comparator 54 switches to a down level. If the reference is late, the output goes to a high level. The filter smoothes out the comparator output so that the output frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator only follows long term changes in the reference signal phase. The output of the voltage controlled oscillator is the channel clock C2.
Above, we have described one embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the two periods T1 and T2 were fairly arbitrarily selected. However, in real applications, other considerations could put constraints on the values that can be selected.
Generation of the time of day clock requires that the value of the system clock C1 be set at specific values, one of which may or may not be 20 nanoseconds. In any case, it is quite easy to change the system clock C1 from 20 nanoseconds to say 20.94 nanoseconds as required by the time of day clock, and then select a channel clock of 26.18 nanoseconds instead of 25 nanoseconds and still obtain full advantage of the present invention. Therefore, it should be understood that while a single embodiment of the invention has been described, many changes in this embodiment can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as set forth in the claims attached hereto.

I like this guy, and have for a long time, l actually might think l love him. But he has hurt me before and lied to me about cheating, so l am afraid to really give in to him, and say that l love him, in fear of getting hurt once more. He's really sweet and all that, and he says he loves me, and wants me back, but should l give him another chance? Or just walk away?
Most Helpful Guy
This is tough! My first thought would be is to get outta there! But if you really want to be with him, don't make any fast moves first. Let HIM show you that he will never do it again. let HIM show you that he really wants to be with you and that you can put your trust into someone like that. For him admitting he's cheated in the past is a big step for him. Most guys don't do that at all or talk about there past at all Becuase they will be to afraid to put thoughts in your head. after he has shown you that he can be trusted as make your decision from there
Answer mine if you have some time please :)00|00|0
Haha, that's the point, he didn't talk about it, l found out from one of my friends, that he was cheating on me with:/ but l do really really like him, l am just to afraid...

Of course everyone isn't affected, but IME with Comcast, it took 3 different box swaps to get the Moto 6412 working correctly. FWIW, I just downgraded one box to a SD DVR and so far (luckily) it doesn't need to be replaced.
My vote is, try another box and hope for the best. Ideally you would not have to wait for an installer and simply exchange at a local Comcast office. This is a easier way to get what you need IME. Hooking up the downgrades is easier too.
Hi we recently cut our Comcast digital, HD, dvr, movie package to a digital starter package. When we did this our box was change out to a basic black box about the size of a modem. Since then the cable has been cutting out and resets the box each time. Comcast sent someone out replaced the box and on other occasions reset it while on live chat. None of this has fixed the issue and prior to the reduction in service it had never been an issue. Any ideas? Thanks.

Alright that sounds good. Im going to try and get some colors the resemble aerosmith if I can. Im not really sure yet. How many options do I have? Like is it just one part I get to change to color or is it three?
This is what I have so far:
Well I have given in to getting other colors when I order my CCM T2. I decided I would make it fun by adding colors that resemble my favourite band Aerosmith. So I am going through all their songs to find the use of colors in their songs. If you want to help me with this task please feel free!
So far I have:
Pink by Aerosmith: Pink
Drop Dead Goregous by Aerosmith: Orange or Green
Deuces Are Wild by Aerosmith: Brown
F.I.N.E.: Red
Kings and Queens: Gold
Still researching more songs...
Or I may make the CCM T2 Pink, Silver, and Yellow to rememble my favourite album of Aerosmith, Just Push Play. But I like my first idea so far better.

Seniors Continue Driving Despite Diminished Ability
A recent survey suggests that seniors are willing to discuss their driving abilities, but the conversations rarely happen.
"These are difficult conversations, but important to have early and often, because everyone ages differently," said David Melton, driving safety expert with Liberty Mutual Insurance and managing director of global safety. "Too often, these discussions are avoided until warning signs appear or, worse, there is a crash. It's a step we all need to take to ensure the safety of our loved ones and the community."
The survey, conducted by Liberty Mutual Insurance, revealed there are currently more than 23 million licensed drivers aged 70 and older and that the majority of those drivers are behind the wheel regularly, even with reported limited physical abilities. The survey was based on 1,000 adults aged 75 and older with 84 percent of senior drivers open to conversations concerning their driving but only six percent have actually spoken to someone about their driving abilities.
SEE ALSO: Google Builds its Own Self-Driving Car
The survey found that 41 percent of seniors are driving everyday and 38 percent are driving several times a week. Nearly all seniors surveyed would consider limiting or stopping their driving if presented with the right reason. But they are concerned of losing their independence, becoming less active, having a hard time finding alternative transportation and feeling isolated if they stop driving.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), over 4,000 people aged 70 and older died in motor vehicle crashes in 2012.

Lubrication of semi-auto
I have a question and I can't seem to find a definitive answer. I have tried this forum and my owners manuals and still come up empty. I am trying to find out what is the best and most used method of lubrication on my semi autos. (In our family, we have a Ruger SR9C, a Browning Hi-Power 9mm, and a Glock 19). Should I be using grease on the slide or just light oil? The Ruger and Glock came with grease on the slides but after shooting the Ruger for the first time, I cleaned all that out and just applied light oil. I haven't shot it since and just wondered how the rest of you do it?
The Browning Owners manual says just a light oiling. But says nothing about the slides and rails.
I know there will be differences in opinion but I'd like to weigh all options and keep my guns working like new.
Thanks, John
Metal sliding against metal, I use a dot of white lithium grease. You can use CLP or Tetra Lube as well. For finer moving parts (hammer, mag release, etc) light oil. I grease rails by spritzing some white lith on a q tip, and rub it into the grooves. Does not take a lot.
You would be better off searching google. You are going to get so many answers that you will have to search google anyway.
I have very rarely used grease and relied on Hoppes gun oil for most of my life with great results to this day!
Clp clp clp...
Safari Charlie's or Ballistol are good options as a lubricant, protectant and cleaner.
I just use standard oil on all parts, sometimes Tri lube. What is clp? I do have white lithium lying around, could try it. I've had no issues whatsoever with pain old hoppes.
I use a little grease on the sliding parts, and mobile one oil on the other parts. I avoid Lithium grease , because it can absorb water.
For parts that do not get above 350°, I will use a little peanut oil (then my dog won't go to far from the guns and he kinda protects them from others prying hands).
I will use a good pork lard on those that I take bear hunting (gets the bears REALLY close to ya so you don't have that far of a distance to shoot).
I use Hoppe's on the guns I want to keep the wife away from (she can't stand the smell of any Hoppe's products since I used her dish towels as rags. Even Tide detergent doesn't get rid of that smell).
j/k, I use grease sparingly on things, for stainless steel I use this:http://www.midwayusa.com/Product/254771/rig-p-stainless-steel-lube-1-oz-jar. Mainly Mobil-1 or RemOil.
SSGN_Doc, I started a thread in the general area (The Club House) you may be interested in.

Inventions of the Industrial Revolution
Madelyn Duhamel
Alexander Graham Bell
Alexander Graham Bell was the inventor of the first telephone on March 10th 1876. This invention is important because it helps people communicate faster and communicate over long distances. If we didn't have phones technology would be different and people wouldn't be able to talk other than in person.
First Oil Production
Edwin Drake
Edwin Drake was the inventor of the first oil production in the United States. He was also known as colonial Drake. Edwin started In pennsylavinia in 1859. This invention was important because it supplies energy for heat and power. It's also helps the production in plastic, clothes, etc. On top of that all the factories and businesses uses oil, which supplies a lot of jobs for people.
First Light Bulb.
Thomas Alva Edison
Edison was the inventor of the First Light Bulb. To make the light he used electricity, which is what they used to call new technology. In 1882 Edison company began and he started supplying electric power to new york city. By the time Edison died he held more than one thousand patents. This invention is very important because it improves productivity, enhances the quality of our life, and reduces crime rates. It was a new way to live, being able to have light in the dark or during the day without a big risk of fire hazard and lasting longer.
Automatic dishwasher
Josephine Cochran
Josephine Cochran invented the first dishwasher in 1886. She wanted to invent a new way to clean dishes in a quicker way. Josephine did accomplish that. This invention is important because it cleans dishes on its own and cleans bacteria better then hand washing. We still, to this day, use a very similar model the the basic dishwasher Josephine had invented.
Gasoline-powered automobile
Charles and Frank Duryea
Charles and Frank Duryea were the inventors of the first Gasoline powered automobile On September 20th 1893. The first automobile was very important. It created a faster way to travel. This product helps carry something from one place to another. If we didn't have automobiles our traveling would take a longer time and more dangerous.
First Hand Held Camera
George Eastman
In 1888 George Eastman invented the fist hand held camera. He named the camera the Kodak. This invention is used to take pictures of the memories you have so that you can save them and remember them. This invention was important because it saves peoples memories and save times together. Also, taking pictures helps solving crimes and remembering things.
Christopher Sholes
Christopher Sholes invented the typewriter in 1873. This invention helped people be able to write things much faster. This was very big for its time because writing things by hand took very long time and it was exhausting to have to copy things by hand. The typewriter makes this a lot easier.
First Successful powered Flight
Wilbur and Orville Wright
The first successful powered flight was held by Wilbur and Orville Write in 1903. This was one of the biggest inventions in it time. They invented the power flight because they had always wanted to fly sense they were young boys. This invention was very important because it increased transportation. Also, it made it easier and faster to travel, even over seas.
First Railroad
George Stephenson
George Stephenson invented the first railroad in 1830. A railroad is a track or set of tracks made of steel rails along which passenger and freight trains run. The railroads were powered by coal, which was held in the front. This invention was made for easier traveling and was very huge for its time. It helped people get one place to another safer than walking or with a horse, etc.
Lubricator for Steam Engine
Elijah McCoy
Elijah McCoy invented the steam engin in 1872. McCoy invented this because it allows trains to run faster with less maintenance. This helped a lot to make travels faster. Having this invention made it a less harder job to conduct. We still to this day use railroads to travel, and he made it a faster travel.

SOUTH AFRICA'S NEW ERA; On Mandela's Walk, Hope and Violence
By JOHN F. BURNS, Special to The New York Times
Published: February 12, 1990
PAARL, South Africa, Feb. 11— When Nelson Mandela made his walk to freedom today, he did it with the same simplicity and command of occasion that made him a leader among millions of South African blacks when his imprisonment began more than 10,000 days ago.
At 4:14 P.M. on a sun-warmed day -27 years, six months and one week after his arrest on Aug. 5, 1962 - Mr. Mandela stepped from the car that drove him to the last guard post at the Victor Verster prison.
From there, smiling gently, he passed under a raised barrier and flicked his right hand quickly out from his body in greeting. He then raised his right arm several times in the bolder, black nationalist salute, his left hand holding the hand of his wife, Winnie, and walked to the point where the prison entrance road abuts the highway running through the undulating wine country of the Western Cape.
'No Easy Walk to Freedom'
It was a walk of perhaps 70 yards, through a corridor of policemen, and as he made it, Mr. Mandela said not a word, at least none that could be heard by any in the crowd of 5,000 blacks and whites chanting his name. But to those who have come to know Mr. Mandela in the only way that was possible under the total ban that the South African Government threw around the black leader in prison - through his speeches and writings of a generation ago - there was no mistaking the symbolism involved in beginning his life outside jail on foot.
About the time in 1961 when President John F. Kennedy was spending his first summer in the White House, Mr. Mandela, then about the same age as Mr. Kennedy, used a phrase that became the title of a book of Mr. Mandela's speeches and writings. The book has been passed hand to hand in dog-eared copies among South Africans, who were forbidden until today under censorship laws and statutes governing political prisoners to own any book by or about the black leader. There was, Mr. Mandela said, ''no easy walk to freedom'' for South African blacks after three centuries of white domination and repression.
Dignified and Resolute
The Nelson Mandela who made his own walk to freedom today, after more than 22 years in the fortress prison on Robben Island, in the gale-swept mouth of Cape Town harbor, and five more years in a series of other prisons, had hair that had turned to gray. He looked at least 30 pounds lighter than he had at his last public appearance, in June 1964 when, with the physique of the heavyweight boxer he had been in his youth, he stood in the dock at the Rivonia Trial in Johannesburg and acknowledged that he was guilty as charged of sabotage and attempting to overthrow the Government.
But in other respects, the 71-year-old black leader who emerged from prison today to the ecstatic salute of millions of his fellow countrymen and of much of the world seemed unchanged from the man whose closing address in his own defense in 1964 has become one of the central documents in the South African struggle.
As always before, he was erect and dignified, immaculately dressed in a dark-grey suit tailored for him in Cape Town during his closing weeks in prison. And above all, he was resolute - resolute in his opposition to any accommodation with apartheid, and just as resolute in his insistence that blacks in South Africa have always preferred a peaceful settlement with whites to one rooted in violence.
No black man in South Africa has had as wide an audience as Mr. Mandela had tonight when he stepped to the microphone on the steps of Cape Town's Victorian City Hall, watched live by tens of millions of television viewers in countries including the United States, Australia and Japan, and, in a delayed but uncensored broadcast, on South Africa's Government-owned television service. It was an occasion Mr. Mandela used to the full, beginning, in a strong, unquavering voice, with the first word he had uttered in public - ''Amandla!'' meaning power in the Xhosa language, the rallying cry of the black resistance -since the speech at his trial.
Need for Armed Struggle
To anybody who wondered whether Mr. Mandela had compromised during his three years of secret talks with the Government, the black leader gave a blunt answer. As in 1964, he offered no compromise on the principle of majority rule, calling for the creation of ''a democratic, nonracial and unitary South Africa.''
Perhaps most jarring to many whites, he said that ''the factors which necessitated'' the African National Congress's resort to guerrilla attacks in 1961, under his own leadership, ''still exist today,'' so that the congress had ''no option but to continue.''
He also demanded what he called ''a fundamental restructuring'' of the economy, a phrase many whites will take to signal an intention to nationalize mines, banks and major industries.
But along with those strictures, Mr. Mandela showed the same strong preference for a peaceful solution, the same appreciation for whites who are prepared to join blacks in dismantling apartheid, and the same confidence that his cause will triumph that he showed at his trial.

ANTH 6342 - Science and the Human Past
Detailed website http://faculty.smu.edu/croos
I am an environmental archaeologist with primary research interests in the long-term interactions between climate change, human land use, and landscape fires. My regional expertise is in the Southwestern US, but I maintain active research interests in the Northern Plains and Oceania. My research projects are necessarily interdisciplinary, often including dendrochronology, archaeology, ethnography, and sedimentary paleoecology. I received my PhD at the University of Arizona, where I maintain research collaborations, before joining the faculty at SMU in 2010.
My primary research interests are in (human) ecosystems ecology, particularly in the study of human impacts on social-ecological resilience and vulnerability. Sustainability issues, as framed by resilience theory, inform the questions that drive my research projects. How do human activities alter the response of ecosystems to climate change? What lessons can we learn for contemporary ecosystem management or restoration?
I maintain additional research interests in archaeological method and theory, particularly the combination of principles from behavioral archaeology with earth sciences methods and techniques to reconstruct past human behaviors - an approach that I call behavioral geoarchaeology. To this end, I use stratigraphy, micromorphology, and soil/sediment chemistry to reconstruct the life histories of ancient dwellings, ritual structures, and community spaces.

By Joe Nathan – Guest Columnist
Minnesota parents and educators – some of whom are deeply frustrated about obstacles being created for students who want to take dual-credit courses – are meeting 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 5 in St. Paul.
The free meeting, co-sponsored by 25 education, community and business groups, will bring together people seeking ways to overcome resistance and barriers to various dual-credit courses. Some of the problems have been created by college and university groups, some by school districts. Generation Next and the Holman Fund of the St. Paul Foundation are supporting the meeting. More information about the meeting, to be held at the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, 451 Lexington Parkway N., is available here: bit.ly/2cw63JR.
Taking a dual-credit course on a high school or a college campus, or via the internet, helps increase chances that a student not only will graduate from high school but also will graduate from a one-, two- or four-year postsecondary program. It also can save families thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars. That's good for students and taxpayers.
St. Paul College student Khalique Rogers, who will speak at the conference, took College in the Schools courses offered by his high school with the University of Minnesota. But St. Paul College ruled that neither his CIS writing course nor his public speaking course met "core requirements" for an AA degree. Rogers summed things up well: "Administrators sometimes make it more about themselves than about what's best for students."
Conference co-sponsors – including Minnesota Rural Education Association, Council for Minnesotans of African Heritage, and Center for School Change, where I work – have written to the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System asking to meet with its leadership team, which makes critical decisions. Among those decisions is an increase of up to 100 percent in costs over the next several years for small district and charters offering concurrent enrollment classes in the high school. Education and community groups also want to talk with MnSCU's leadership team about system plans to assess "tested" experience. Those are part of new requirements that the regional Higher Learning Commission is imposing on Minnesota schools.
MnSCU Board Chair Michael Vekich and MnSCU Chancellor Steven Rosenstone have rejected requests to meet with MnSCU's leadership team, instead referring educators and community members to individual MnSCU institutions. But MnSCU memos show that key decisions are made by the leadership team.
Parents also are learning that some colleges and universities accept more dual-credit courses than others. And a course taken at one public institution is not necessarily accepted for "core graduation credit" at another public institution.
Some families also are frustrated by some high schools' efforts to discourage students from taking Postsecondary Enrollment Option courses by giving extra weight on GPAs to Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and College in the Schools courses taken in high schools, but not giving equal credit on GPAs to PSEO courses on college campuses or the internet.
I checked with 16 rural, urban and suburban district and charter schools about this.
Eight either do not weight grades or they weigh all dual-credit courses equally: Caledonia, Cambridge-Isanti, Hopkins, Milaca, Minneapolis and North Branch give all courses equal weight, while others like St. Paul and Spectrum High School in Elk River give extra weight to all dual-credit courses.
Minnetonka weights grades for AP and IB courses if students earn a C or better. If PSEO students could confirm their courses are as rigorous as AP or IB and also earn a C or better, they, too, could have their GPAs weighted.
Seven of the 16 reported that they weight or otherwise honor college-level courses offered in their high schools, but not PSEO courses. Doug Austin, St. Francis High School principal, acknowledged that part of the rationale for weighting AP and CIS but not PSEO is "to keep students at the high school." Ironically, several districts give extra weight to CIS classes whose curriculum and content is set by college faculty, but then refuse to weight classes taught by college faculty – some of whom designed the CIS courses!
GPAs matter because some scholarships are available only to those in the top 10 percent of their graduation class. Some colleges and universities use class rank, determined by GPAs, to help decide which students to admit.
Here's what some area schools reported.
Ric Dressen, Edina Public Schools superintendent, explained via email: "AP grades have a 1.2 weight factor. CIS and PSEO classes are not weighted but noted in the transcript."
Vanessta Spark, Spectrum High School executive director, explained through email: "Spectrum weights AP, concurrent enrollment, and PSEO classes equally. They all receive a weight of .25 calculated into their GPA."
Meanwhile, Bruce Watkins, Elk River Area Schools interim superintendent, wrote through email that the district weights AP and CIS but not PSEO classes.
"ISD 728 does weight AP and CIS courses by elevating them .34. Example: If a regular B is weighted at 3.0 and a weighted B is a 3.34. A regular A is 4.0 and a weighted A is 4.34. Although we, of course, recognize and count PSEO credits, they are not weighted, and we do not control their rigor or content," he wrote.
John Schultz, Hopkins Public Schools superintendent, explained via email, "We do not weight grades!"
Dennis Peterson, Minnetonka Public Schools superintendent, wrote via email: "We weight AP and IB grades if the student receives a C or higher. We would consider PSEO if the student can verify the course is equivalent to an IB or AP course in rigor, and they would need the C grade as well."
Amy Parnell, director of communications and community engagement for Wayzata Public Schools, wrote via email: "I checked with Scott Gengler, our high school principal, and he said that only Advanced Placement courses are weighted. Students in AP courses are assigned regular grades but receive three additional GPA points for each letter grade of C- and above."
K-12 and postsecondary systems should be first and foremost about serving students. On Nov. 5, people will discuss how to move closer to that goal.
Joe Nathan, formerly a Minnesota public school teacher, administrator and PTA president, is a former director and now senior fellow at the Center for School Change. Reactions are welcome at [email protected]

Camp Underway as U.S. MNT Prepares for March Friendlies vs. Ecuador and Guatemala
U.S. MNT Notes
Bradenton, Fla.
March 20, 2007
OFF AND RUNNING: With Tuesday morning's session, the first two days of training camp for the U.S. Men's National Team are in the books (photos) at IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla., where Bob Bradley's 24-player squad is stationed as the team prepares for their upcoming friendlies against 2006 World Cup finalists Ecuador and regional rivals Guatemala. The actual number of bodies on the training field increased from 16 to 23 on Tuesday with the arrival a day earlier of Benny Feilhaber, Kasey Keller, Oguchi Onyewu and Heath Pearce from across the Atlantic and the MLS trio of Jimmy Conrad, Eddie Johnson and Landon Donovan. Everton FC goalkeeper Tim Howard, fresh off a 1-0 shutout win against Arsenal, will complete the camp roster when he arrives on Tuesday afternoon.
NEW ROYAL BLUE MNT JERSEY DEBUTS IN BACK-TO-BACK MARCH MATCHES: U.S. Soccer and Nike will unveil a new 2007 U.S. Men's National Team Third Jersey on Wednesday, when the team's striking royal blue and white pin-striped jersey becomes available for purchase at ussoccerstore.com. The U.S. will wear the impressive new uniform on Sunday against Ecuador in Tampa, Fla., and on March 28 against Guatemala in Frisco, Texas. The 2007 MNT Third Jersey is another example of Nike's worldwide commitment to providing players with garments that are both comfortable and technically advanced. Nike fabric technology wicks sweat away from the body through the shirt while featuring raised nodes on the underside that lift the shirt away from a players' body to keep the skin drier and reduce shirt cling. The jersey also features breathable weave side panels that help keep a player cool. The Nike MNT 2007 Third Jersey has an embroidered U.S. Soccer Men's National Team crest logo over the left chest and the Nike swoosh design trademark on the upper right chest.
GRAB YOUR TICKET: The U.S. visits Raymond James Stadium, where more than 23,000 tickets have already been sold, for the first time when they face Ecuador on March 25 at 12 p.m. ET. The U.S. then returns to Pizza Hut Park for the second consecutive year to face Guatemala when they meet in Frisco, Texas, on March 28 at 8 p.m. CT. Both matches will be broadcast live on ESPN2 and Galavision, and will be available to fans online via ussoccer.com's MatchTracker. MatchACCESS will also have extended coverage of both matches available exclusively at ussoccer.com. Tickets for both matches are also available at ussoccer.com.
ROSTER CHANGES: Injuries over the last few days forced two changes to the 24-man roster, initially announced last week. Ricardo Clark suffered a sprain in the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) in his right knee during the Dynamo's 2-0 win against Pachuca in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, and will be sidelined up to four weeks. Fire striker Chris Rolfe has also incurred a sprained knee and has been ruled out for the upcoming matches. Bradley has added a pair of Houston players as reinforcements, summoning Wade Barrett and Brian Mullan.
U.S. Roster by Position
GOALKEEPERS (3): Brad Guzan (Chivas USA), Tim Howard* (Everton FC), Kasey Keller* (Borussia Moenchengladbach)
DEFENDERS (9): Wade Barrett (Houston Dynamo), Carlos Bocanegra* (Fulham FC), Steve Cherundolo* (Hannover 96), Jimmy Conrad* (Kansas City Wizards), Jay DeMerit (Watford FC), Oguchi Onyewu* (Newcastle United), Heath Pearce (FC Nordsjælland), Frank Simek (Sheffield Wednesday), Jonathan Spector (West Ham United)
MIDFIELDERS (7): DaMarcus Beasley* (Manchester City), Michael Bradley (SC Heerenveen), Brian Carroll (D.C. United), Clint Dempsey* (Fulham FC), Benny Feilhaber (Hamburger SV), Justin Mapp (Chicago Fire), Brian Mullan (Houston Dynamo)
FORWARDS (5): Brian Ching* (Houston Dynamo), Kenny Cooper (FC Dallas), Landon Donovan* (Los Angeles Galaxy), Eddie Johnson* (Kansas City Wizards), Taylor Twellman (New England Revolution)
* Member of 2006 World Cup team
WORLD CUP FEEL: The U.S. and Ecuador rosters both feature a number of players that proudly wore their country's colors during the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. Bradley invited in 11 players from the 2006 FIFA World Cup squad, including five players – Beasley, Cherundolo, Donovan, Keller and Onyewu – who appeared in all three matches. Of those five players, only Donovan has played for the U.S. since the World Cup with appearances in both of the USA's matches in 2007. Houston Dynamo forward Brian Ching will also make his first appearance in camp with the national team since the World Cup. On the other side of the field, Ecuador has also brought 11 players that were on its World Cup roster and helped the South Americans to a second place finish in their group before falling to England in the Round of 16.
Ecuador Roster
GOALKEEPERS (2): Rorys Aragon (Standard Liege), Daniel Viteri (Deportivo Quito)
DEFENDERS (7): Oscar Bagui (Olmedo), Segundo Castillo* (Red Star Belgrade), Ulises De La Cruz* (Reading), Giovanny Espinoza* (Vitesse), Jorge Guagua* (Colon), Ivan Hurtado* (Nacional), Neicer Reasco* (Sao Paulo)
MIDFIELDERS (5): Luis Caicedo (Olmedo), Edison Mendez* (PSV Eindhoven), Luis Saritama* (Club America), Edder Vaca (Deportivo Quito), Luis Valencia* (Wigan Athletic)
FORWARDS (4): Felix Borja* (Olympiakos), Felipe Caicedo (FC Basel), Carlos Tenorio* (Al-Saad), Edmundo Zura (Imbabura)
* Member of 2006 World Cup team
FEELS LIKE HOME: The U.S. will train for the Ecuador match at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, location of the U.S. Under-17 Residency Program, until traveling an hour north to Tampa on Friday, March 23. For eight players - Beasley, Bradley, Donovan, Johnson, Mapp, Onyewu, Pearce and Spector – training at IMG Academies will feel like home as each came through the U-17 Residency Program. Out of the eight, Bradley and Pearce are the only U-17 alums on the roster that did not play in a FIFA U-17 World Cup. Beasley, Donovan and Onyewu were part of the 1999 team that finished in fourth place, the best showing ever for a U.S. team at a U-17 World Cup. Johnson and Mapp were members of the '01 squad that finished in 15th place, while Spector helped the U.S. back into the top five in 2003 in Finland.
CAP LOOKING: There are also plenty of fresh faces getting a look with three players – Jay DeMerit, Benny Feilhaber and Frank Simek – looking for their first-ever cap with the full team. While this is the first-ever MNT camp for DeMerit and Simek, it is actually the second for Feilhaber as the former U-20 standout was called in for the team's match against Scotland in Glasgow in November of 2005, but didn't see the field.
CHERUNDOLO PODCAST: For U.S. defender Steve Cherundolo, getting back into the national team camp couldn't come soon enough. A starter in the 2006 World Cup, Cherundolo is gearing up for his third World Cup cycle with a lot more experience and appreciation under his belt. Firmly entrenched in Hannover's first XI as they fight for a place in next year's UEFA Cup, Cherundolo offers his thoughts on the state of U.S. Soccer and where he thinks it's headed (listen).
BLOG NATION: Looking for those little nuggets on the MNT that you'd only know if you were on the training field, in the lunch room, riding in the team vans or just hanging out in the players' lounge in the hotel? We've got you covered with the latest MNT blog. Unless you're actually here, it's the best way to find behind-the-scenes updates as the U.S. gets ready to face Ecuador and Guatemala.

Located at 600 Lexington Avenue in the heart of Manhattan, this new state-of-the-art application delivery competency center will give engineers, network managers, and technology executives from around the world an opportunity to test networking solutions to ensure their systems are highly resilient and secure. The announcement of this new ITC comes at a time of high interest in cyber threats for both national defense and in the private sector. During his recent State of the Union address, President Obama noted a new Executive Order on cybersecurity and the advancement of cybersecurity legislation. "F5 has built its strong brand on the ability to help organizations implement disparate technologies across data centers, networks, applications, and the variety of devices being used," said Kathleen Ferraro, VP of Product Management and Product Marketing at F5 Networks. "The goal of all our International Technology Centers is to help organizations leverage technology and apply it to the real-world challenges and scenarios they face. For example, we can help a customer architect a single, simplified environment that demonstrates the ways their business is better protected by preventing data leakage and thwarting DDoS strikes, DNS threats, and other attacks." The New York ITC grand opening, to be held at 9:00 a.m. ET on Tuesday, March 12, will kick off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and an overview of the center by F5 CEO John McAdam.

Ten Paris Motor Show Reveals Worth Remembering
4- Audi R8 Road car
It might not sound like much now, but the R8, when it was first revealed in 2006, set the world on fire. The R8 used many of the underpinnings of the Lamborghini Gallardo, and allowed the German automaker to have a vehicle to fight the Porsche 911.
The R8 showed off a ton of cool supercar tech, like aluminum construction, LED headlights, dry sump lubrication (derived from Audi's LeMans cars) and Audi's R tronic sequential-shift gearbox. Pair that with the 420 hp engine that's placed right in the middle of the vehicle, and the R8 arrived with style and purpose to the supercar game.

Katie loves cuddling, petting, and belly rubs. She will start purring immediately when you give her attention. She loves the human touch so much that she will purr even in the presence of a loud vacuum or blow dryer! Katie likes high places and will make great use of any existing cat trees or shelves. She also adores cardboard scratchers. Katie is always curious about what's behind doors and cupboards. Generally a quiet and calm cat, the few times she will meow is to know what's behind a door, even if it's just a door to nothing interesting, like a water heater. Katie does not react to catnip, and will only rarely play with toys, making her an ideal pet for a quiet home.
Katie grazes on both wet and dry food. She takes medication for a thyroid condition. The medication is a cream that is rubbed in her outer ear which she seems to look forward to because she gets treats afterwards.
Katie was born in 2004. She is spayed, micro chipped, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and is current on all her vaccines.
Additionally, 4Paws is dedicated to supporting the management of populations and improving the health of feral cat colonies. 4Paws volunteers also hold seminars in local schools to teach children the importance of responsible pet care.
4Paws is a qualified public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. All contributions are fully tax deductible as allowed by law. A copy of our FY2005 annual report may be viewed by clicking here.

While they are waiting to find permanent loving homes, our cats temporarily live in foster homes. The foster families bring the cats and kittens to the adoption fairs to be seen by potential adopters. Applicants have the opportunity to handle the cats and in some cases, meet the foster parents who can provide additional insight into a cat's habits and personality.
Neither cats nor kittens are sent to their new homes on the day of the fair. It usually takes 4-5 days to process the application before the cat can go to his or her adoptive home. Pre-approval is an option, though. To accelerate the adoption process, you can fax a completed application and contract to us at 703-560-9795 a few days before the fair. Adoption Applications are available on this website.
