Stylish young men and women sit on vintage wooden chairs beneath a large brick wall bearing a mural of sprinting wolves. Some of the men sport neatly trimmed goatees and fedoras on their heads; others are in designer suits, ties and waistcoats. Most of the women display expensive dresses on their lithe bodies; shiny rings adorn their manicured fingers. High heels accentuate their shapely legs.
A mosaic of fairy tale character Red Riding Hood in passage over a black-and-white checkered floor continues the wolf motif. People chat and tuck into gourmet hamburgers. But they're really here for the craft beers.
There's "The King's Blockhouse," an extremely bitter India Pale Ale [IPA] with intense flavors of tropical fruit; the "Brauhaus Pilsner," amber in color and tasting of honey and fruit; the malty "Jack Black Lager," and many more.
The Wolfpack, in Johannesburg's plush Parkhurst suburb, is just one of many bars and restaurants revolving around craft beer culture that exploded recently in South Africa.
Craft beer, otherwise known as specialty or artisanal beer, is made slowly, according to traditional methods, in small breweries using pure ingredients - including hops, malted barley and mineral water. Commercial beer is made fast in factories, often using chemicals and preservatives, and is usually far less flavorful than craft beer.
'Fashiony' thing for The Leopard
The Wolfpack's clientele consists primarily of "hipsters." These young and wealthy dedicated followers of fashion are an important part of South Africa's newfound thirst for craft beer, and that has led to some observers in food and drink circles to call the phenomenon an unsustainable fad.
While Lucy Corne, one of South Africa's finest beer writers and the author of
African Brew
, a seminal book on craft beer in the country, is convinced that its artisanal beer sector is here to stay, she said a lot of people are drinking specialty beer at the moment "simply because it's cool."
Craft brewers savor the tastes of survival

"They don't necessarily know anything about what they're drinking. It sounds really patronizing but some people don't even necessarily know if they like what they're drinking, but it's cool to drink it so they drink it anyway," said Corne.
Nick Gordon, co-owner of one of Johannesburg's top restaurants, The Leopard, who offers his customers craft beer to pair with food, agreed. "People are aware of craft beer but I think they're doing it kind of as a 'fashiony' thing rather than [with an attitude of], 'This is the best beer that we can get and there's integrity involved [in its production].' That's really the trend. I know I'm sounding cynical, but that's what I see around me."
Gerry de Souza, owner of a liquor store in Johannesburg, said he's witnessed a massive spike in sales of specialty beer in the past year. "The first guys who started really drinking craft beer about three years ago did it because they wanted pure beer, high quality beer," he said. "Now it's becoming a fad; it's becoming a fashion. You've got to have five different types of craft beers [in your fridge] if you're worth anything."

'No turning back'
But leading microbrewer Andre de Beer insisted that the burgeoning demand for craft beer does not represent a fad that would soon fade away.
"It's here to stay – people enjoy a proper, flavorsome product and as long as we keep on offering that as brewers, the customers will be there," said the owner of the Cockpit Brewery in Cullinan, Gauteng Province.
De Beer maintained that South Africa's artisanal beer sector is "nowhere close to hitting its peak. Of course, that will eventually happen but that will not result in the demise of the craft beer movement. I believe we've still got a long way to go before we reach critical mass and you're going to see plenty more breweries opening in the next few years."
Another microbrewer, Dirk van Tonder of the Irish Ale House, said, "Everywhere in the world where craft beer has taken off, from America to Australia to Asia, it has continued as a viable and profitable part of their beer markets. Yes, all explosions end and it will also end in South Africa. But we'll still be left with a strong market."
Now that South Africans realize that beer is about much more than "bland" commercial lagers, said van Tonder, "there's no turning back.… People are willing to pay that little bit more for something that's going to give them immense enjoyment. It's more flavorful and damn right more healthy for them."
'Teething problems'
But, as the craft beer boom sweeps South Africa and new brewers battle to establish a foothold in the market and to get a share of growing profits, several top microbrewers warn of practices that are creeping in that are compromising the integrity of the sector.
"I am aware of some guys who make bad batches of beer and then they dump that beer on to festivals [to sell it there] instead of throwing it away," said van Tonder.
Moritz Kallmeyer, one of South Africa's most respected brewers, said, "Some of the craft beer isn't good. Some of the people trying to brew beer at the moment just haven't got the skills and, more importantly, the work ethic needed to make it in this game. Like, I've been called in to help some of the guys who want to know why their beer isn't selling. Then I find that they never clean their beer kegs."
He continued, "You can brew a brilliant beer and you can screw it up by putting it in a dirty keg. And this is what happened; their beer was always sour, always off. Don't send out beer that is sub-standard. It'll kill your business."
Corne said consistency remains elusive for some in the fledgling sector.
"A lot of the people who are brewing the beer, they haven't tasted different beers so they're making beers in styles and they don't necessarily know what they should taste like. A lot of them have got teething problems."
Steve Gilroy, who owns a very successful brewery near Johannesburg, criticized brewers who are "packing their beer with C02" that adds "excessive fizz" in what he considers a misguided belief that this will make their beer more popular.
"Most of the brewers aren't listening to the public. They're turning people away from beer because they're making it A – too bitter, and they're making it B – far too gassy," he said.
Kallmeyer said some craft brew in South Africa is "completely out of balance."
"Some guys now are going completely over the top with hops. Their beers are too bitter from the hops and not enough malt to [add] balance and then it becomes biting in the mouth."
Corne said the downside to the craft beer explosion is people "jumping on the bandwagon" and thinking that they know how to make good beer, when they don't.
She said, laughing, "I read tweets of people who drink certain beers and I taste them and I'm like, 'There's no way you are enjoying this beer; this beer's dreadful!'"
Too expensive
Everyone close to the microbrewing sector agrees that it's fair that specialty beers are more expensive than their mainstream counterparts. After all, craft beer is made from pricier ingredients – often from imported hops and malted barley. And it's made in small quantities which also pushes prices up.
But some brewers also agree that profiteers within the artisanal beer scene are harming the sector and could endanger its long-term survival.
A pint of commercial beer costs 25 rand [US$ 2.50] in most bars in Johannesburg. At 30 rand a pint, de Beer charges just a bit more for his specialty brew. A liter of Kallmeyer's craft beer sells for between 35 and 40 rand in liquor stores.
But some bars and restaurants in South Africa are charging between 40 and 60 rand per pint of craft beer – which de Beer calls "ridiculous.… It's not worth it. It's a beautiful product but it must stay affordable."
He added, "Yes, craft beer is more expensive to produce but you only have to charge about 10 to 15 percent more for your beer to make a decent profit, not 100 or 120 percent more. That's just pure greed. I can't see any justification in charging double what a commercial beer would cost. Some places are now charging more than what a high-quality imported Belgian beer costs for a South African-produced craft beer. This kind of practice will come back to haunt us."
De Beer warned that overcharging for craft beer could alienate the market in the near future. "As all kinds of people jump on this bandwagon to make money we must be careful that instead of growing our market, we end up shrinking it," he said.
At his brewery Gilroy charges 23 rand for a pint of his beer – cheaper than prices charged for mainstream beer at many pubs in Johannesburg.
"We're not actually keeping our prices down. We're just not elevating our prices," he told VOA. "I believe – and I'm seeing this with a lot of the craft breweries at the moment – they're elevating their prices. Now this gives me the impression that they think that the venture that they're in is a short-term venture, and that they've got to recover costs in the shortest period of time. It's a sign of weakness."
Gilroy continued, "Those absurdly high prices don't do your product or your credibility or the way that the public view your ethic any good at all. But worse than that – this behavior damages the entire craft beer sector."
Corne, however, sees no immediate end to the rising prices of craft beer as it becomes more popular.
"To be honest, it's getting more expensive. Over the last year or something I'm seeing the prices going up. I've got a friend who runs a bar in Cape Town and he can get a keg from an American brewery, and even taking into account transport costs and customs [duties] and everything, at the end it only costs a couple more rand for him to put that on tap in his bar than it does some of the locally produced beers – which is kind of ridiculous!"
De Beer added, "Offer the people a good, honest product, at a good, honest price, while still making a decent profit. That's the only way that craft beer will become a major player in South Africa's alcoholic beverage sector."
The branding of the artisanals
Despite the pricing controversy, some in the specialty beer sector see certain craft breweries turning into brands, or companies, in the near future. Gilroy said this is, in fact, "essential" if they're to survive long term.
"Craft brewers who don't, or can't, maintain their brands into the future in this country…well, they have no future," he said.
Martin Brooks, who as chief brewer at South African Breweries [SAB], the second largest commercial brewer in the world, keeps a close watch on the country's craft beer sphere, said some local microbreweries could become big businesses in the future.
He pointed out that this has happened in other countries that have experienced craft beer booms, such as the United States. There, specialty beer makers like Sierra Nevada and Sam Adams have grown into large companies, brewing millions of gallons of beer every year.
"Their beer is still considered to be a craft product," said Brooks. "I think over the next five to 10 years you'll start to see some of the main current smaller craft players [in South Africa] start to grow into becoming more commercial, but hopefully still maintaining their independence and the integrity around the different styles of products which they're producing."
Substandard beets will soon disappear
Gilroy is convinced that the future of craft beer in South Africa is healthy but he predicted that a significant number of artisanal beer breweries will "die off" relatively quickly.
In this regard, he turns to events in the US in the 1990s, when that country was experiencing rapid, booming demand for specialty brew.
"You had thousands of craft breweries coming up, and within six months, two years, maybe five years, [most] died – because they weren't any good at it or they didn't have the passion. The same will happen in South Africa; people making substandard beers here are very soon going to disappear," he said.
Gilroy quipped, "In about three years' time South Africa's going to have a huge amount of second-hand brewing equipment kicking around."
Kallmeyer said many more microbreweries will open in the country in the short term, before it is left with fewer ""but far higher quality" craft beer makers.
"The future of craft beer in South Africa is safe because the days of South Africans accepting that beer is factory-produced lager are dead and buried. The demand for craft beer is going to continue growing because of this," he said.
Corne is convinced the next chapter in South Africa's craft beer revolution will ensure that the specialty beer sector thrives.
"South Africans who are now starting to drink craft beer in all its various forms will learn more about it. They will be more demanding of the brewers, saying, 'You know what? This product isn't good enough. You're not making it right," she said.
Corne, like others close to the craft brew industry, is certain that it's this type of quality control that will ensure its long-term feasibility.

Georgia Politics
On Saturday, the Donald J. Trump Show came to the North Atlanta Trade Center, and it was unlike anything I've seen in politics before.
If you want to understand what happened in Norcross this weekend, you have to watch this short video clip of the crowd.
In the first clip, I could pan about 60% of the crowd before getting to the right where a large broadcast camera blocked me from showing any further. In the second clip, I could get maybe a third of the crowd because I was now blocked by a small blonde reporter to my left and a large broadcast camera to my right. But you get the idea.
You can also hear booing in the second clip. That's when Trump was trashing the media and telling us to pan the crowd. To be fair, the platform was packed with camera, many of whom wouldn't have been able to pan without being blocked, but who's interested in being fair to the media.

Letters: Tolerance enhances academia
NEWPORT BEACH, Jeff Morgan: Academia at Rutgers University has apparently evolved into the antithesis of an environment of tolerance and open speech. Students who complained about
|Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice March 15, 2014 speaks at the California Republican Party 2014 Spring Convention in Burlingame, Calif (AP PHOTO).
former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice giving the commencement address at Rutgers are essentially saying, "Teach me in accordance with my bias. Silence those with whom I disagree and cannot tolerate ["Rice cancels speech at Rutgers, an irony," May 4]."
A further irony is that they wish to hold Rice accountable for her involvement in the Iraq war, but it is doubtful these same students would take Hillary Clinton to task for being secretary of state during the Afghanistan war and the situation in Benghazi.
When some try to hold U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder accountable for certain decisions, there are cries of racism. Where are these cries when it comes to Rice? To her credit, she uses her intellect to defend herself and does not hide behind her color to silence her critics.
Furthermore, in her early years Rice experienced firsthand the injustice and indignity of discriminatory laws and attitudes, only to now experience a different form of discrimination from students at Rutgers.
Putting politics aside, these students missed the opportunity to hear a speech by one of America's great intellectual minds, who also is a great American success story, with a list of accomplishments matched by few.

Sitka-based Silver Bay Seafoods has acquired property in Bristol Bay for a new processing operation there. The company plans to sell shares in the operation to raise the USD 25 million (EUR 18.8 million) needed for construction. Beginning in 2014, Silver Bay hopes to process large portions of the Bristol Bay driftnet salmon fishery, and the Togiak sac-roe herring fishery.
The first announcement that Silver Bay Seafood's was planning to open a processing facility in Bristol Bay came in late November on the Deckboss blog run by veteran Alaska journalist Wesley Loy. The company has purchased 8-acres of industrial zoned property on the Naknek River adjacent to the Leader Creek Seafood's facility, and plans to construct a high-volume processing plant on that land that will have the daily capacity to process and freeze 2.4 million pounds of salmon and 900 tons of herring.
To pay for construction of the plant Silver Bay Seafoods is offering to sell ownership interest for USD 25,000 (EUR 18,833) for each one-tenth of one percent of the new company called "Silver Bay Seafood's-Naknek LLC."

Your peers are getting the attention you got to jump on the band wagon. Triangle looks good Oasis is doing good Kodiak is perking up . Do something don't sit still . Make some good announcements.
that would be the resignation of the Exec Management staff.. Yes I have a small LONG position and I regret it..
The reason that Kog and Oas have grown and jumped forward is because they have made large land deals.
OAS set idle for a long time until several days ago..
NOG is auguring several or 3 thousand acres a quarter., that is not going to move the needle. there are only so many good Bakken acres.. but Yes I could see some one like Slawson purchasing the entire NOG package, keep the acreage they want and then sell off other parcels to Tplm, KOG,OAS and all the other Bakken players.. But at what discount or what price per acre .Valuing NOG acreage is a problem because of the lack of concentration of acreage in one location and the production profile is not equal over the entire WB. don
Very good observations, Don. I can't imagine any of the Bakken operators passing up the chance to pick up more working interest in wells; some have stated that's what they're trying to do. I'd like to see CLR or Slawson make a hostile takeover offer. I think shareholders would consider it friendly, but unfortunately, I don't think it will happen.
As far as value, they should be able to average better than 10k/acre for a lot of their land, based on some recent transactions. With lower Three Forks benches being proved up and downspacing, the top operators are snatching up good bolt-on acreage at around 15k/acre. Even though the Oasis purchase aggregated a little under 10k/acre, some of that does not include middle bakken and TF1.

Two More Doctors Check Out of 'Grey's Anatomy'
"Grey's Anatomy" is losing two more doctors this season. After Sandra Oh announced her decision to leave the series at the end of season 10, it's now reported that Tessa Ferrer and Gaius Charles won't return as series regulars for the upcoming 11th season.
According to Deadline, the contracts for the Leah Murphy and the Shane Ross depicters, who were promoted to series regulars along with Camilla Luddington and Jerikka Hinton for season 10, are not picked up for next season. It's unknown if they will still appear as guest stars in the yet-to-be announced 11th season.
Last August, Oh said she decided to exit the long-running medical drama series due to creative reason. "Creatively, I really feel like I gave it my all, and I feel ready to let her go," she told The Hollywood Reporter at the time, adding that she got the sense that her character Cristina Yang "wants to be let go."
"Grey's" alum Isaiah Washington will return as Dr. Preston Burke in a May episode to help send Cristina off. "Burke is vital to that journey - he gives her story that full-circle moment we need to properly say goodbye to our beloved Cristina Yang," series creator Shonda Rhimes explained.
Cristina and Preston had a romantic relationship in the first three seasons. The last time viewers saw him, he left Cristina at the altar because he felt that she didn't actually want to get married.
"Grey's Anatomy" airs Thursdays, at 9 P.M. on ABC.

24 hours later... Utes are stunned.
The new PAC 12 Network does not come close to the old MWC network (theMtn) coverage in Utah.
No satellite deal and little to no independent cable operator coverage in rural Utah cities at this time. Only on Comcast and it will probably require a digital package, not economy.
Maybe internet coverage, definitely audio streaming on ESPN 700 radio.
Even I didn't imagine it would be this bad.
It could change but it still does not look good for those expecting a Duckhunter absence.

sammyg, you have both DirectTV and Dish Network? Fancy!
Not really sure what your point is. I don't want to touch off a provider war, but as a consumer, I go to the retailer that has what I need. I am not upset (like you might be) that I can't fill up my car with gas at Home Depot.
If I only want to watch Notre Dame football, I buy some rabbit ears. If I want to watch ESPN, I have to invest more. If I want to watch Nickelodean or AMC or Cartoon Network, there might be some Dish providers that don't offer those channels, so I find a provider that has them.
The PAC-12 Network MIGHT be in the Comcast Digital package? How is that bad? Why spend big dollars on a high definition TV only to stream low-res content?

You should ask for clarification on context first. In the Dark Ages and other older periods of history, Europe was one of the worst places, I concur, but in the modern age, many countries in Europe are surpassing the US in equality, civil liberties, and other various "good" things. Though the Middle Eastern countries are still worse than the US, we are far from the best right now.
One good thing about the US, we did all our worst stuff in a shorter period of time than other countries, so considering the age of the country, the US still has the most potential, if only the people here would stop squandering it.

Sharon Osbourne Quits 'America's Got Talent' Due to Discrimination
Sharon Osbourne's real reason of quitting "America's Got Talent" is discrimination against her son, Jack Osbourne. The 59-year-old matriarch told NY Post that NBC stripped Jack off reality show "Stars Earn Stripes" after finding out that he's been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Sharon claimed she received an e-mail from the producers of "Stars Earn Stripes" a couple of days before she reported for work. She had to lie to the press at first but, "I just can't be fake," she said. "It's discrimination, and it was badly handled."
Sharon and NBC were involved in heated negotiation but she decided to leave anyway. "It's time to move on," she said, adding "They can't make me do something I don't want to do. All they can do is stop me from being a judge on another network for five years."
"Stars Earn Stripes" producer David Hurwitz said last month that they had talks with Jack but he was never hired in the first place. Jack and Sharon confirmed that the contract was never formally signed but they insisted that good faith and verbal commitment were what they held as guarantee. Hurwitz argued that "the rigors of the show were too intense for him."
Jack offered to pay his own insurance policy but the producers would not budge. Instead, NBC executives offered to pay Jack the full appearance fee to straighten things out but Sharon would not take it. "He didn't want the money," she said. "He wanted his gig. It gave him something to look forward to when he was diagnosed. Think of the good that it could have done to show other people who have this [condition] that your life is not over."
A rep of NBC said, "Sharon has been a valuable part of the NBC family. We regret any misunderstanding and wish Jack well."

This application contains subject matter related to co-owned U.S. patent application for "Edge Calibration For Synchronous Data Transfer Between Clock Domains" of Fischer, et al. Ser. No. 11/118,740, and co-owned U.S. patent application for "Count Calibration For Synchronous Data Transfer Between Clock Domains" of Fischer, et al. Ser. No. 11/118,600, each filed on the same day and hereby incorporated herein for all that is disclosed.
The described subject matter relates to synchronous data transfer, and more particularly to an adaptable data path for synchronous data transfer between clock domains.
Synchronous digital circuits (e.g., microprocessors) use internal clock signals to control operation sequences and timing of events. Some digital systems implement multiple clock domains in which the clock frequency in each domain is the same and skew within each domain is tightly controlled. However, skew between clock domains may negatively impact setup and hold constraints, resulting in non-determinism for signals crossing between domains. This skew between clock domains is magnified at higher frequencies.
Although asynchronous circuit design may be implemented where the magnitude of skew between clock domains is not known or cannot be held within acceptable bounds, synchronous circuit design is generally preferred for enhanced performance, deterministic data transfer, and more predictable behavior. Synchronous circuit designs typically employ a delay line, commonly referred to as a "salmon ladder," to transfer data synchronously between clock domains. The delay line includes delay components which match the source clock on one end of the delay line and increase in increments to match the sink clock on the other end of the delay line.
Delay lines, however, are typically matched to the source and sink clocks during design and do not account for various processing speeds, supply voltage effects, temperature effects, and frequency conditions during operation. In addition, the delay line may be constructed with different types of metal, field-effect transistors (FETs), and/or resistor-capacitor (R-C) components from what is used in the actual signal path. Any one or more of these factors may result in non-determinism, even in synchronous circuit designs which implement delay lines.
Systems and methods described herein may be implemented in a configurable data path for synchronous data transfer between clock domains. Exemplary embodiments may include a digitally-controlled data path which is configurable or adaptable for actual operating conditions. The data path handles data transfers between clock domains and provides deterministic data transfers between clock domains with sufficient margin to handle voltage and temperature variation across the operating range.
Briefly, the data path may be calibrated by measuring alignment between the source clock edge and the sink clock edge during run-time, allowing a setup/hold margin for the transfer to be determined and increased on a dynamic (or "as-needed") basis to cover circuit delay variation caused by voltage and temperature effects on the circuit. The calibration may then be used to configure the clocking and cyclic latency for a data path and configure clocks and multiplexer selects for the data path to implement deterministic transfers between the clock domains.
Exemplary embodiments shown and described herein specify a delay line from the late clock domain to the early clock domain. However, it is noted that in other exemplary embodiments, the delay line may be implemented from the early clock domain to the late clock domain.
It is also noted that operations described herein may be implemented in logic circuitry. Exemplary logic circuitry is shown and described herein for purposes of illustration. However, the exemplary logic circuitry is not intended to be limiting. Other embodiments, including software implementations, will also be readily apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art after having become familiar with the teachings herein.
Exemplary System
In an exemplary test operation, a clock generator 150 for the test circuit 100 may need to be stopped on a specific logical cycle, independent of frequency. For example, the clock generator 150 may need to be stopped for a serial scan of the test circuit data registers to troubleshoot a floating point error. Accordingly, control signal generator 140 may issue a clock-stop signal to the clock generator 150.
The clock-stop signal may originate in a first clock domain (e.g., clock domain 110) where the control signal generator 140 resides. However, the first (or "late") clock domain may be offset from a second (or "early") clock domain (e.g., clock domain 120) where the clock generator 150 resides, illustrated by delay 170 a, b. Because the clock generator operates over a wide range of frequencies, these clock-stop signals cross between clock domains with high frequency dependent skew components.
For purposes of illustration, the late clock domain (e.g., clock domain 110) may be at logical clock cycle 3000 when the early clock domain (e.g., clock domain 120) is at logical clock cycle 3004. Therefore, a control signal generated in the late clock domain takes no less than four clock cycles to arrive in the early clock domain (i.e., 3004−3000=4). Accordingly, an event generated in the late clock domain needs to be delayed by four clock cycles before being issued to the early clock domain so that data arrives in the early clock domain at the desired logical clock cycle.
In exemplary embodiments, the control signal may be issued from the late clock domain to the early clock domain via one or more adaptable (or configurable) data path 160 a, 160 b so that each clock domain receives the event (e.g., stop-clock signal) at the desired clock cycle. For example, the adaptable data path 160 a, 160 b may measure the difference in logical clock cycles between a receive clock (RCV CLK) signal issued by the clock generator 150, and a drive clock (DRV CLK) signal including the delay 170 a between clock cycles. The adaptable data path 160 a, 160 b uses this measurement to adjust the control signal (or trigger-in signal) so that the control signal (or trigger-out signal) that is delivered to the early clock domain includes data (e.g., a stop-clock instruction) on the desired logical clock cycle.
Before continuing, it is noted that the adaptable data path 160 a, 160 b adjusts for significant delay between clock domains (illustrated at 170 a, 170 b). Any delay between the data path 160 a, 160 b and the clock generator 150 is considered to be negligible, and therefore does not violate setup and hold times.
In an exemplary embodiment, logic functions of controller 210 and data path 220 are implemented in logic circuitry, as described in more detail below with reference to
In operation, reset signal 232 may be issued to system 200 to return it to a predictable logic state and/or clear any prior configurations, e.g., at start-up or for recalibration. A sequencer 250 in controller 210 first activates an edge calibration circuit 260, and then activates a count calibration circuit 270.
Edge calibration circuit 260 may issue a bypass signal 242 to route the trigger-in signal 280 around a delay line in the data path 220, as explained in more detail below with reference to
Edge calibration 260 may operate in conjunction with count calibration circuit 270 to determine latency between clock domains. In an exemplary embodiment, the controller 210 may determine the latency by measuring the difference (or offset) in clock cycles between the drive clock (DRV CLK) signal 236 and the receive clock (RCV CLK) signal 238. In an example where the receive clock signal is at logical clock cycle 304 and the drive clock signal is at logical clock cycle 300, the latency between clock domains is 4 logical clock cycles. That is, an event generated in the first (e.g., drive) clock domain takes 4 logical clock cycles to arrive in the second (e.g., receive) clock domain.
Controller 210 issues select clock (SEL CLK) signals 244 and count (CNT) signals 246 to the data path 220 for allocating a predetermined number of cycles (N) to transfer data. In an exemplary embodiment, N is greater than the maximum expected separation (M) between clock domains. Accordingly, controller 210 may configure data path 220 to occupy M minus N cycles of latency. For example, if M is selected to be 5 clock cycles, and there are 2 cycles of latency, the data path may be configured to increment the delay by 3 clock cycles (e.g., 5−2=3).
Exemplary embodiments of edge calibration and count calibration circuits are described in more detail in the related patent applications cross-noted above. For purposes of this application, it is sufficient to understand that the edge and count calibration is used by controller 210 to configure the clocking and cyclic latency for data path 220, as explained in more detail below with reference to
Before continuing it is noted that the data path 220 may be configured at run-time so that the data path 220 is configured based on operational data for the circuit. Also in exemplary embodiments, the data path configuration may be maintained during operation, as constant recalibration may be intrusive to operation of the circuit. However, the data path 220 is adaptable and may be reconfigured, e.g., based on changes in the run-time environment.
Exemplary data path circuit 300 may include a late domain latch 310. Late domain latch 310 receives a trigger-in signal (e.g., trigger-in signal 280 in
Decimal point controller 320 receives edge calibration bypass signal 321 (e.g., from edge calibrator 260 in
In an exemplary embodiment, decimal point controller 320 includes a multiplexer (MUX) 325 which selects the trigger-in signal directly from the late domain latch 310, or selects the trigger-in signal via latch 324.
The trigger-in signal is issued to delay line 330 to modify the trigger-in signal for latency between clock domains. The trigger-in signal is modified by adding one or more latch 331-335 to the delay line using multiplexer (MUX) 337. Although five latches 331-335 are shown in
Delay line 330 may be operated by selecting the trigger-in signal from one of the plurality of latches 331-335 in order to provide a consistent signal delay. For example, if it is desired to consistently delay the trigger-in signal by N=5 clock cycles and the controller (e.g., controller 210 in
Data path circuit 300 may also include an optional delay line bypass 340. In an exemplary embodiment, delay line bypass 340 may be implemented to route the trigger-in signal past the delay line 330 directly to another clock domain. For example, delay line bypass 340 may be implemented if the controller (e.g., controller 210 in
Delay line bypass 340 may be operated by delay line bypass controller 350. Delay line bypass controller 350 may include a multiplexer (MUX) 352 to select the trigger-in signal from either the delay path 330 or delay line bypass 340. In an exemplary embodiment, MUX 352 may be activated (or deactivated) by input from either a manual override latch 354, or (via OR gate 358) by input from an automatic override latch 356.
Data path circuit 300 may also include a buffer 360. Buffer circuit 360 may be provided for timing convenience, e.g., easing timing constraints for sending the signal within the same clock domain. The exemplary embodiment shown in
As noted above, the exemplary embodiments shown and described are provided for purposes of illustration. Still other embodiments are also contemplated.
Exemplary Operations
In operation 410, a data path may be configured for latency between the first and second clock domains based on operating parameters. In operation 420, a signal may be received at the data path from the first clock domain. In operation 430, a logical clock cycle from the first clock domain may be aligned with the corresponding logical clock cycle in the second clock domain in the data path for synchronous data transfer between the first and second clock domains.
Optional operations may further include determining whether to reconfigure the data path in operation 440. If the data path is to be reconfigured, operations may continue to operation 410. Alternatively, the present configuration may be maintained in operation 450 and signals may continue through the data path as illustrated by the return path to operation 420, e.g., until a reset signal is received.
The operations shown and described herein are provided to illustrate exemplary implementations of synchronous data transfer between clock domains. Still other operations may also be implemented to enable synchronous data transfer between clock domains. By way of example, calibration operations may also be implemented. Exemplary calibration operations may include measuring a drive clock cycle in the first clock domain, measuring a receive clock cycle in the second clock domain, and determining latency based on the difference between the two measured clock cycles. Other exemplary operations may include calibrating the data path for variations in circuit delay (e.g., caused by voltage and temperature effects).
For purposes of further illustration, configuration operations may also include logically connecting and/or logically disconnecting latches in the data path. Gatekeeper operations may also be implemented. Exemplary gatekeeper operations may include passing the signal from the first clock domain to the data path if the latency satisfies a predetermined threshold (e.g., for a consistent delay between clock domains), and bypassing the signal directly from the first clock domain to the second clock domain if the latency fails to satisfy a predetermined threshold (e.g., if there is no latency between clock domains, if there is variation between clock domains in both the phase and frequency, and/or for test purposes).
In addition to the specific embodiments explicitly set forth herein, other aspects will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification disclosed herein. It is intended that the specification and illustrated embodiments be considered as examples only, with a true scope and spirit of the following claims.

Do you have a phone number of the cemetary?
Good afternoon Don;
RE;DIEGEL photos,
do you have the phone number of the cemetary? I could call and authorize you to open the mausoleum doors, I see that there are other photo requests for the same mausoleum.
I cannot find a number thru google or the yellow pages.
thank you for all your hard work
I bid you a good afternoon
Judy in MI.

So they're paying $4 million and giving up a reliever to get a guy that actually has been WORSE than the god awful DHs they've been putting out there? ZIPS projects Morales to have -0.7 WAR the rest of the year.3. Joyful Calculus Instructor Posted: July 24, 2014 at 03:20 PM (#4757080)
So how much money did the Twins pay to Kendry before trading him for Pryor?4. Crispix reaches boiling point with lackluster play Posted: July 24, 2014 at 03:26 PM (#4757092)
Six months ago Kendrys Morales and Nelson Cruz were seen as interchangeable by a lot of people. Now Nelson Cruz is the savior of a team that has been crushed by the pumpkinification of Chris Davis, and Kendrys Morales is seen as a hitting downgrade from Logan Morrison.5. Davo's Favorite Tacos Are Moose Tacos Posted: July 24, 2014 at 03:27 PM (#4757097)
#3--Had he played all year for the Twins, he was set to earn $7.5MM. So.... find someone better at fractions!6. Gch exhales the vast drunken folly of Epicurus Posted: July 24, 2014 at 03:29 PM (#4757101)
ZIPS projects Morales to have -0.7 WAR the rest of the year
No, ZIPS projects Morales to have -0.7 WAR for the entire year (including his current -0.9 WAR) and +0.2 WAR for the rest of the season.
Thanks, I was about 50% certain I had misread that.
Wow, Fangraphs had this sniffed out in June.9. Captain Supporter Posted: July 24, 2014 at 07:15 PM (#4757225)

I love this. ZIPS projections are now the oracles wise men must use to evaluate trades. Of course the accuracy and reliability of of ZIPS is not even considered.10. The Ghost, Senior Lounger Posted: July 24, 2014 at 07:33 PM (#4757231)

If the Mariners also get a corner OF like Marlon Byrd, the lineup will start to look maybe halfway respectable.12. Jorge Luis Bourjos (Walewander) Posted: July 24, 2014 at 10:24 PM (#4757312)
Can we get a thread to discuss the Soria trade?13. Walt Davis Posted: July 24, 2014 at 10:28 PM (#4757316)
ZIPS projections are now the oracles wise men must use to evaluate trades.14. bookbook Posted: July 25, 2014 at 12:16 AM (#4757365)
Yep, that's exactly what AG#1F said and the fact that one person didn't say it is proof that all "wise men" believe it.
Of course the accuracy and reliability of of ZIPS is not even considered.
The accuracy and reliability of ZIPS has been heavily considered, probably evaluated more heavily than any other projection system, most of it by the guy who devised it.
And the conclusion of course is that the mean projectsion are pretty good and there are quite wide confidence intervals in projecting individual players ... but that these confidence intervals certainly seem no worse than the actual decisions made by actual baseball decision-makers with the possible exception of a handful of GMs, none of whose names start with "Z".
What we know in this particular case is that the Ms had Morales around for 2 years ... and did not extend him. They did give him a QO but did not re-sign him in the offseason, not even at the end when it was pretty clear to Morales that he wasn't getting an offer. They didn't re-sign him just after the season started when he would not have been subject to a QO and despite the fact that they would not have had to give up a draft pick in doing so. They didn't re-sign him after the draft when the draft pick compensation went away.
From all of that, what can we conclude other than that the Ms agree with ZiPS that Kendrys Morales is a ballplayer of quite limited value?
Now, after 162 wretched PAs, they have traded for him as they desperately try to hold onto the #5 spot.
So, yeah, clearly they have some deep knowledge on Morales that the rest of us don't have cuz they knew that July 24 was exactly the right time to finally grab him.
That said, a random monkey randomly swinging at a random selection of pitches could probably out-hit the M's current 1B and DH. But they'd probably have been better off just promoting Nick Franklin and sticking him there for the rest of the season.
They offered him a 3 year/$30 million contract. Morales was only on the Ms for one year. He doesn't like the Mariners, and chose not to sign with them, though I'm sure he didn't realize just how much money that would cost him.15. Walt Davis Posted: July 25, 2014 at 02:21 AM (#4757385)
Oops you're right, I thought he was there two years.16. Jeff Francoeur's OPS Posted: July 25, 2014 at 03:37 AM (#4757397)
And 3/$30 is "a ballplayer of quite limited value."
I'm convinced Bill Bavasi is still running the M's.17. DL from MN Posted: July 25, 2014 at 10:45 AM (#4757500)
The Twins paid him about $3M. They were obviously hoping for more and are happy to get out from under the remaining $4.5M. I give them credit for cutting bait so quickly.18. Davo's Favorite Tacos Are Moose Tacos Posted: July 25, 2014 at 11:14 AM (#4757531)
$3,000,000 for a not-useless reliever with like 5 years of team-control remaining? That's a steal!
