Admittedly, no one wants to be like that weird neighbor down the street. Remember that strange neighbor, the one who gave out Bic pens or cough lozenges for Halloween?
At the same time, you gotta feel at least a tiny bit guilty dumping a handful of sugary junk into trick-or-treaters' bags. Child obesity rates are at an all-time high, and when little Jimmy gets home and starts plowing through his mountain of bite-sized Snickers, those obesity rates are only going to get higher.
So we thought we might be a little proactive and offer you a few healthier options—and yes, many of these will be slightly more expensive, but it's just a couple of bucks, so get over it! Your investment is making the world a better place.

Houston game holds high stakes
HUNTINGTON -- Nine months for 10 days.
That was the catch phrase of the day as Marshall Thundering Herd football coach Doc Holliday addressed the media at a press conference Tuesday.
In essence, it means the Herd has been putting in nine months of work, including spring and fall camps, and everything hinges on the next 10 days, when they must beat Houston at home and East Carolina on the road if Marshall (4-6, 3-3 Conference USA) is to become eligible for a bowl game.
Marshall and Houston (4-6, 3-3) play Saturday at noon in Joan C. Edwards Stadium. the game is televised on CSS, which is Huntington cable Ch. 68. Marshall visits East Carolina (6-4. 5-1) for a Friday, Nov. 23, contest.
"You have to give everything you've got for 10 days," Holliday said. "You work your tail off for nine months for 10 days and two opportunities, that's what it's come to. That's the message (the team) has gotten."
Holliday said the first order of business is to focus entirely on the Houston Cougars.
The good news for the Herd is that Cougars quarterback Case Keenum, who terrorized Marshall last year -- the sixth he was at Houston -- is gone, along with several of his favorite targets. Tailback Charles Sims is doubtful for the Cougars Saturday.
"You hate to see a kid get hurt," Holliday said, adding he thinks Sims is perhaps the best running back in C-USA.
There is also bad news for Marshall on the injury front.
Senior wide receivers Aaron Dobson and Antavious Wilson, both dealing with injuries, will likely not play, along with senior linebacker Devin Arrington, Holliday said.
On paper, both teams are fairly similar -- fast, high-scoring offense with porous defense.
Marshall averages 511 yards of offense per game and scores 38.8, while the Cougars are at 473 and 30.8. On defense, Marshall allows 41 points per game while Houston gives up 37.
Houston has averaged more than 35 points in its last five games, but, with a younger team, tends to turn the ball over a bit more.
But that isn't necessarily good news for Marshall. Marshall has won the turnover battle in two C-USA games, a combined 7-0 over UCF and UAB. Both were losses.
The Houston game is Marshall's Senior Day, and the Herd will honor it's eight seniors before the game, although, as Holliday mentioned, some of them might not be in pads.
Two of those seniors are Boston College transfers Dominick LeGrande and Okechukwu Okoroha, who have only been with the team this season.
"You take the two BC kids out, there's six of them," Holliday said. "It won't be a long senior day. I'm not going to be standing on the 50 very darn long, I know that.
"But those are great kids, they're special because they're here," Holliday said. "Next year, we'll have about 23 or 24 running out there. If you've got six kids, you haven't done a good job of keeping people around. When we have a senior day when you're honoring 25 guys, you know you're in good shape because you've got some depth and some leadership and you've got what you need to be a good football team."
If Marshall is able to defeat Houston, the Herd will be playing for bowl eligibility against rival ECU in Greenville, N.C. at 2 p.m., Friday, Nov. 23, the day after Thanksgiving.

Teachers' benefits cuts offset much of school-aid losses
Madison - Cuts to teachers' benefits championed by Gov. Scott Walker offset about two-thirds of the reductions to school revenue resulting from his budget last year, limiting but not eliminating job losses in districts able to make the best use of these savings, according to a study being released Monday.
The report by the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance found that, following Walker's cuts to public workers' benefits and limits to collective bargaining last year, school districts across Wisconsin cut their spending on health and pension benefits by $287.1 million in the 2011-'12 academic year, after accounting for added benefit cuts because of higher-than-usual layoffs and retirements.
These offsets covered about 64% of the total decrease of $451 million in revenue for school districts that was imposed to help balance the budget passed by Walker and GOP lawmakers last year. That followed smaller cuts to schools passed as part of the 2009-'11 budget passed by then Gov. Jim Doyle and Democrats in the Legislature. »Read Full Article
Artist guided MU's theater program to new heights
Phylis Ravel, an actress, artistic director and playwright who took over Marquette University's theater arts program and guided it to a position of national prominence, died Nov. 6 in a hospice in Mequon after a long bout with cancer. She was 69.
"She was just a brilliant person. I admire her so much. She was a champion for people. We are diminished by her loss," said Lori Bergen, dean of the Diederich College of Communication at Marquette.
"She was an amazing woman," said Stephen Hudson-Mairet, chairman of the university's department of Digital Media and Performing Arts Department. "I saw a student recently perform on Broadway who was one of ours. There are students of ours across the country in meaningful positions both on-screen and off-screen, both onstage and offstage." »Read Full Article

Five are injured in Dodge County rollover crash
Lebanon, Wis. - Alcohol may have been a factor in a crash early Sunday in the Town of Lebanon that sent five people to area hospitals, authorities said.
The Dodge County Sheriff's Department said the crash occurred on Evergreen Road. The 47-year-old driver apparently lost control and the Ford Explorer went into a ditch and rolled. The driver was uninjured, but his five passengers, ages 37 to 49, all were taken to area hospitals.

Infant stress may alter brain function of girls, study says
Stress during infancy can predict symptoms of anxiety and depression in female adolescents, according to a study published online Sunday and in the journal Nature Neuroscience on Monday.
Stress in female children is related to higher levels of the hormone cortisol, which may lead to altered brain function in adolescence, according to the study, written by a group of researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The link between early stress and later mood and anxiety problems has been known for a while, but the study uncovered changes in the brain that are associated with both of these factors. »Read Full Article

Well, after more drama than we care to recall, this weekend's Rock And Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony went off without a hitch (relatively speaking, of course). Sure, there were a few prominent no-shows —W. Axl Rose, Rod Stewart, Adam "MCA" Yauch, Izzy Stradlin— but those who were there very clearly had a blast.
This year, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beastie Boys, Donovan, Laura Nyro, the Faces, and, of course, Guns N' F*cking Roses were inducted into the Hall. This year's private ceremony was held in Cleveland, and clips of the performances that happened on Saturday night that are popping up on YouTube are getting pulled down without haste, presumably to get everyone to tune-in when HBO airs the ceremony in a few weeks.
That said, our favorite moment of the evening is easily to call out: Guns N' Roses drummer, former Celebrity Rehab patient and longtime friend of That Metal Show Steven Adler wore a TMS t-shirt to the ceremony! You can take a gander at it, in all its majesty, in our gallery below (and you can get one of your own in the TMS Shop on VH1.com).

The Federal Maritime Commission found the Northwest Seaport Alliance is not likely to reduce competition or result in an unreasonable increase in cost or reduction in service.
The Federal Maritime Commission's report was based on feedback from industry leaders at four public forums held around the country to gauge the impacts of port congestion and examine possible solutions going forward.
Hapag-Lloyd has reportedly picked Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and Berenberg to assist it with an initial public offering, fueling speculation the German ocean carrier is accelerating its plan for a public float.

Friday, September 27, 2013
Goose Creek Police Department investigators have obtained an arrest warrant charging Stephon Johnson, 24, with the murder of William Kuhn.
Kuhn, 40, of North Charleston, was found dead in Dogwood Park on Sept. 18.
A Sept. 19 autopsy ruled Kuhn's death a homicide, according to Berkeley County Coroner Bill Salisbury.
The cause of death was a single gunshot wound to the head, Salisbury said Thursday afternoon.
Johnson is described as an African-American male, born Feb. 2, 1989, about 5 feet 7 inches tall, 185 pounds with black hair and brown eyes, according to a statement issued by GCPD Tuesday morning.
Johnson is believed to be moving about the North Charleston and Goose Creek area, according to GCPD.
Johnson is known to carry a pistol and is believed to be armed and dangerous. Investigators are asking anyone with information on Johnson's whereabouts to contact Crime Stoppers at 554-1111 or contact the Goose Creek Police Department at 863-5200.
The arrest warrant was not released Tuesday morning inasmuch as the premature release of details contained in the warrant could jeopardize the investigation, according to GCPD.
At about 4:50 p.m. on Sept. 18 a 13-year-old boy rode his bicycle to the park and saw a person on the ground near the playground, according to a Goose Creek Police Department incident report.
The boy told police he called out for the person but he did not move. The boy told his 17-year-old brother, and they returned to the park on bicycles, according to the report.
The older brother called his father who told him to call 911.
GCPD released audio of the 911 call on Sept. 19.
"There's a man laying on the ground unconscious, it doesn't look like he's breathing," the 17-year old told a dispatcher during the 911 call. "He's face down laying on the ground. It looks like he's probably not alive. I called out to him about three times."
The older brother told police that medics arrived shortly after the call, according to an incident report. The only other thing he remembers seeing is a red Ford F-150 leaving the area as medics and police arrived, according to the report.
The investigation continues.

|I had a fun time creating my wife a mothers day bracelet. It arrived well put together and my wife loved it. Price was good compared to other companies selling personalized bracelets. Unless you have a small wrist I would recommend getting the 8" chain. I did and it fits my wife's wrist perfectly So glad I changed that. *could offer a few more Misc. bobbles to add rather than just birthstones and initials. More hearts,stars,rainbows, and such.

I first would like to state this was the first time I made a purchase with N & L.
I took a chance making an expensivie purchase on a charm bracelet from a source I never ordered from before. The significant behind each charm relates in reference to my family. Ex: my beautiful parents & (3) brothers whom are deceased. Other charms included in the making of this beautiful bracelet relates to my sister, brother-in-law, brother & myself. I left it up to the discretion of N & L to place each charm where they thought would be the perfect location on the bracelet. They did an excellent job! I have received many wonderful comments on my charm bracelet. I love it!
I will definitely order from you again. J

|I customized this bracelet myself using names, dates that are very dear to my heart. I had been searching for just the right charm bracelet, and this was it! The bracelet itself is dainty but sturdy. I am not a fan of the big chunky silver link bracelets as I wanted something to endure time and not go out of fashion. The charms make a wonderful chime sound, which I love:). The bracelet is somewhat adjustable. I ordered the 7.5 inch and probably didn't need to, however I just clasp it closed on the third link and it fits great. I like the hand stamped appearance as it gives it a slightly vintage look. The addition of the "fillers", such as the key and the pearls add a beautiful touch. I got the names of my daughters stamped on the charms and think it will be nice for them to have one day. I got one stamped with the term of endearment that my grandmother used to call me. You can be very creative!!

RASC Hamilton Centre 1979_07_marsh
Scanned by Colin Haig 2006-03-18 to 2006-04-08
Scanned with Nikon Coolscan V ED.
These slides, from the construction of the Hamilton Centre Observatory, had a date on the slide mount, "1979 07 Marsh." I am not sure when actually taken or when developed. Abbreviations: JMH - written on the slide, likely the photographer. John Hudak is likely the photographer according to Roger Hill.

Jesse Caleb Newby was in court Nov. 1 requesting a bond so he could be released from custody and after hearing the arguments of the state and the defense attorney, Chief Judge William Prior said no.
Prior stated the grounds for the denial as Newby being a danger to the community and the potential for reoffend.
Newby, 17, was arrested Sept. 27 with co-defendants Dakota Lee Bennefield, 18, and Jonathan Scott Lucas, 18.
Assistant District Attorney Keagan Goodrich began by reading information from seven warrants charging the trio with the crimes of entering auto.
Defense attorney Sam Hart Jr. told the court that his client has no prior felony convictions and had been incarcerated for 35 days.

Pronounced: PEN-toe-STAT-in
Classification: Antimetabolite
Pentostatin is a purine analog, which is a type of antimetabolite. It mimics the nucleoside adenosine and thus inhibits the enzyme adenosine deaminase, interfering with the cell's ability to make and replicate DNA. DNA is critical to cell division and growth. Since cancer cells generally divide more often than healthy cells, drugs that target DNA-related processes are more toxic to cancer cells than healthy cells.
Pentostatin is given by intravenous (into a vein) injection. The dosage and schedule is determined by the person's size, type of cancer, and mode of administration.
Even when carefully and correctly administered by trained personnel, this drug may cause a feeling of burning and pain. There is a risk that this drug may leak out of the vein at the injection site, resulting in tissue damage that can be severe. If the area of injection becomes red, swollen, or painful at anytime during or after the injection, notify your doctor or nurse immediately. Do not apply anything to the site unless instructed by your doctor or nurse.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Pentostatin. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4°), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion. Read the anemia tip sheet for more information.
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nose bleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If the count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
These include dryness, itching, and rash. Some patients develop an acne like rash on their face and upper body, which can improve over time. You should use a moisturizer on your skin and lips, but avoid moisturizers with perfumes or scents. Your doctor or nurse can recommend medication if itching is bothersome. If your skin does crack or bleed, be sure to keep the area clean to avoid infection. For more suggestions, read the Nail and Skin Care Tip Sheet.
Visit OncoLink's section on Nutrition for tips on dealing with this side effect. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services.
While on cancer treatment you may need to adjust your schedule to manage fatigue. Plan times to rest during the day and conserve energy for more important activities. Exercise can help combat fatigue; a simple daily walk with a friend can help. Talk to your healthcare team and see OncoLink's section on fatigue for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange and grapefruit sections, boiled potatoes, white rice and products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
Certain cancer treatments can cause sores or soreness in your mouth and/or throat. Notify your doctor or nurse if your mouth, tongue, inside of your cheek or throat becomes white, ulcerated or painful. Performing regular mouth care can help prevent or manage mouth sores. If mouth sores become painful, your doctor or nurse can recommend a pain reliever.
Read the mouth ulcer tip sheet for more information.
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment, even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe your sperm is affected.
Some less common side effects that have been reported include (be sure to let your healthcare provider know if you experience any side effects):

Whisky is the perfect companion for slow appreciation and philosophical pondering, or something to share with friends, over a game Scrabble or chess, or with cigars in a dimly lit basement, playing poker with one's 'buddies'. Why not experience one of our 18 year old whiskies. We believe at eighteen years, the whisky still pertains the bite and power of youth, the can do attitude that only a teenager possesses, though coupled with a few more years of maturity and a little wisdom. Why not try one of our great single malt whiskies. These are whiskies distilled from nothing more than water, malted barley and yeast, produced in a single distillery and aged in oak casks for at least three years and one day. If one wishes, one can compare this with other whiskies of the same age (tasting horizontally) or comparing it with older or younger bottlings (tasting vertically).

Within the past month the Waitsfield Town Office Task Force (TOTF) has begun to look more seriously at an excellent adaptive reuse solution for our new town offices and meeting space. The building is what is known as the Third Methodist Church and is more commonly known as the home of Luminosity and two residences and, until recently, the Quilt Shop.
The building is for sale by the owner, Aldo Speroni, who has kept it well and stewarded it through many years. While alterations have been made to accommodate tenants, the basic church structure remains intact with its high arched ceilings and traditional craftsmanship. The building has great bones and is within the most pedestrian part of the village while safely out of the floodplain. It is 3,060 square feet on the first floor, has a basement of equivalent size with a 9- foot ceiling and another 1,500 square feet on the second and third floors. DeWolfe Engineering has recently evaluated the building and reported that it is structurally sound. Support for this idea and its serious consideration has come repeatedly from Bob Burley. Additionally, Ellen Strauss submitted an informative proposal to the town that demonstrates the project's feasibility and cost effectiveness.
The building's size, character and location all make it a viable option for renovation to meet the needs of a new town office facility. It is full of light and the original spaces can be returned to a state the town will be proud to inhabit. It can be a model of a cost-effective and energy-efficient retrofit that returns the historic character and creates an adaptive reuse of an important building. This is the most sustainable and green action a town can make: reusing, adapting and preserving what is already there.
The town staff and boards are in dire need of expanded and serviceable space. Using an existing building could save close to a year in the overall schedule. This building is ready for a renovation so it can serve the people of Waitsfield for another 120 years! The Waitsfield TOTF and Select Board need to be encouraged to seriously pursue this option.
Seibert, D'Aponte and Simmons live in Waitsfield.

Google's search interface for tablets is great, but it lacks some of the features from the regular interface. One of the most important missing features is the link to the cached search results. Sometimes a site goes down, a page changes a lot or redirects you to a stripped-down mobile interface and Google's cache is really useful.
Now you can switch between the tablet interface and the classic interface using a link displayed at the bottom of the search results page: "View Google in: Tablet | Classic". The nice thing is that Google remembers the query and sends you to the same page of results.
Other missing features from the tablet interface: the number of search results, the link to the advanced search page, the "something different" section, the smart sidebar that shows the most relevant specialized search engines and options, while hiding the other features. While these options are still available in the tablet interface, Google no longer highlights those that are the most relevant.
To switch to the classic interface, Google adds "¬a=1" to the URL (there's a similar parameter for the mobile interface: "&nomo=1"). While there's no way to permanently switch to the classic interface, you can bookmark this URL to access it: http:/www.google.com/webhp?nota=1.

"We all thought this was a very good recipe. I also added chicken, broccoli & extra alfredo."
"I added diced ham and used gluten free noodles to make the dish gluten free. I recommend using gluten free noodles that are a blend of 2-3 flours."
"Delicious recipe! I used fat free ricotta, low-fat sour cream, and part skim mozzarella and it was rich and cheesy. Next time I'm going to add chicken and roasted red peppers :)"
"I have made this dish several times in the last few months and it's just as popular every time. I use a homemade alfredo sauce, and always half the recipe with great results."
"Made this for the family this weekend and everyone really enjoyed it. I choose to use egg beaters, fat free sour cream and part skim ricotta. In fact, I may cut back on the ricotta next time I make it. I also cut up cooked chicken and added to the pasta. Thanks for the recipe!"

Ariel Winter's Mom Forced Her Into Extreme Diet, Was "Hated" By Modern Family Crew: Source
We may never be able to watch Modern Family in the same light again.
TMZ is all over this drama between 14-year-old Modern Family star Ariel Winter (Alex) and her mother, Chrystal Workman. According to a source who worked on the show, Ariel's mom was "hated" by the crew, because she would do things like watch Ariel on set and insult her appearance. She reportedly made Ariel eat only egg whites and raw vegetables, to the point where the crew would sneak Ariel more substantial food when Mom wasn't looking. And apparently Mom was also looking for Ariel to make more money.
Ah, the life of a showbiz child! This is why it all gets a bad name.

The shock waves will stay within the silicone as opposed to traveling through and either shattering the back your phone or even going further and disturbing any the fragile materials inside the phone rendering your phone useless, and bricked I guess is the word. so silicone is a wonderful material it also comes in quite a lot different colors and designs which is another wonderful thing about it. as you can see there a lot of very fun and interesting designs we have some are shaped like animals, some are shaped like little monsters, there are clear ones, ones that look like tape decks or cassette tapes I should say, they're textured, they're not textured, rubberized, theyÕre blinged outÉ there is pretty much everything you can think of on the back one of the silicone cases for the Apple iPhone 4S and like you said is really good at absorbing shock which is pretty imperative if you have an iPhone 4S because of you know that glass back can shatter and it will be very sad if it does shatter. [inaudible]. Alright you guys if you have anymore questions regarding the Apple iPhone 4S silicone cases here or if you have a question about any the items we sell Accessory Geeks.com please don't hesitate to give us a call at 1866 Geeks 93, or you can contact us via livechat, Facebook or email. our office hours are Monday through Friday 8 AM to 4 PM this extended time and as always there is free shipping to the US and Canada.

No. 6,643,787, issued Nov. 4, 2003, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
The present disclosure relates to communication systems, and more particularly to apparatus and methods for high speed signaling.
In systems which require high speed transmission of data between two or more integrated circuit devices, it is common for a timing signal to be transmitted in parallel with the data signal. By this arrangement, sometimes referred to as "source synchronous timing," the timing and data signals experience similar propagation delays, providing the receiving device with a timing reference having a controlled phase relationship with the data signal. Circuitry within the receiving device samples the incoming data signal at a time determined by the timing signal and its phase relationship with the data signal.
In the memory system of

A single-clock, strobeless signaling system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the signaling system includes a signaling path, a master device coupled to the signaling path, a slave device coupled to the signaling path, and a clock generator. The slave device includes timing circuitry to generate an internal clock signal having a phase offset relative to a clock signal supplied by the clock generator, the phase offset being determined at least in part by a signal propagation time on the signal path. Various alternative embodiments of the signaling system are disclosed as are embodiments of master and slave devices and methods for operating the same.
The present disclosure is illustrated by way of example, and not by way of limitation, in the figures of the accompanying drawings and in which like reference numerals refer to similar elements and in which:

Preferably, the phase of the internal receive clock of the slave device is advanced somewhat to compensate for the setup delay of the slave receive circuitry, and the phase of the internal transmit clock of the slave device is advanced to compensate for the output delay (clock-to-Q delay) of the slave transmit circuitry. Such delays are accounted for in the timing calibration operations described below.
Note that while zero phase alignment between transmit clock and data and is assumed throughout this description (i.e., clock edge occurs at start of data eye), such phase alignment is not necessary. Any fixed phase relationship between transmit clock and data may be used in alternative embodiments. Moreover, the fixed phase relationship between the slave transmit clock and data may be different from the fixed phase relationship between the master transmit clock and data.
Slave Device
The application circuitry 65 varies according to the system in which the slave device 33 is to be used. For example, if the slave device 33 is a memory device in a memory system, the application circuitry 65 will include an array of memory cells and circuitry to access contents of the memory cells in response to address and command information (i.e., control information) received via the receive circuitry 71. In such an application, data to be written to the memory cells is received via the receive circuitry 71, and data read from the memory cells is transmitted to a system master (e.g., a memory controller) via the transmit circuitry 69. As discussed above, the high-speed signaling path 37 may include separate sets of conductors for the data and control information, or the data and control information may be time multiplexed. Similarly, the internal data/control path between the receive circuitry 71 and the application circuitry 65 may include a separate sets of conductors for data and control information or a single path may be time multiplexed. A separate external status path may likewise be provided and the internal data/status path between the application circuitry 65 and the transmit circuitry 69 may also include separate sets of conductors for data and status information or a single path may be time multiplexed. If a separate external control path (or status path) is provided, a separate clock signal may be generated to time receipt (or transmission) of information on that path. Such a clock signal may be operated at a different frequency from RCLK and TCLK.
The timing circuitry 63 includes receive timing circuitry 73 and transmit timing circuitry 79 for generating the receive and transmit clock signals, respectively (i.e., RCLK and TCLK). The receive timing circuitry 73 includes a delay lock loop or phase lock loop (DLL/PLL) 74, a phase offset register 77 and a phase offset circuit 75 to offset the phase of the receive clock signal generated by the DLL/PLL 74 according to the content of the phase offset register 77. More specifically, a phase offset value in the phase offset register 77 is applied to offset the phase of RCLK relative to the reference clock signal, CLK, such that RCLK and CLK have the relationship shown in
The dotted arrow leading to the calibration state machine 85 signifies use of the receive circuitry 71 to receive calibration commands after the phase offset of RCLK has been set.

Pre-Calibration Communication
In one embodiment, timing calibration is performed during system initialization to determine the proper phase offsets of the RCLK/TCLK signals. Timing calibration is itself somewhat complicated by the need for pre-calibration communication between the master and slave devices to coordinate various calibration operations. In the implementation of
Although specific techniques for pre-calibration communication have been described, other techniques for pre-calibration communication between the master and slave devices may also be used without departing from the scope of the present disclosure (e.g., temporarily operating the high-speed signaling path at a lower frequency). Also, any number of protocols may be used to frame pre-calibration messages addressed to different slave devices and for detecting errors in pre-calibration transmissions (e.g., sequences of start/stop bits to frame transmissions, checksum, cyclic-redundancy-check (CRC) values to detect errors or to mark end of frame, etc.).
Timing Calibration
According to one embodiment, the master device 31 of
Calibration of slave device transmit and receive clocks is described below from the perspective of the master device and assuming that out-of-band signaling is used for all pre-calibration communication. However, it will be appreciated that, after either the slave transmit clock or the slave receive clock has been calibrated, unidirectional communication over the high-speed signaling path may be used to complete the remaining timing calibration instead of out-of-band signaling.
The master device expects the slave device to respond to the CAL XMT command by transmitting an M-bit test sequence (TS) on at least one conductor of the high-speed signaling path (as discussed below, the calibration state machine within the slave device controls such a response). Consequently, when the master device receives an N-bit capture sequence via the high-speed signaling path at block 107, the slave transmission should be accurately represented in the capture sequence for at least some setting of the slave device's transmit phase offset register. The value of N is selected to be larger than M (N and M are both integers), to account for the uncertainty of the test sequence flight time on the high-speed signaling path. Flight time could be more than a clock cycle or even several clock cycles depending on the length of the signaling path. Accordingly, N is preferably large enough to capture the M-bit test sequence even if the slave device is the farthest device from the master and the slave transmit clock is as far as possible out of alignment with the clock at the master device.
At block 109, the M-bit test sequence is bit-wise compared against the first M bits of the capture sequence. That is, TS(0) is compared against CS(0), TS(1) is compared against CS(1) and so forth to TS(M−1) and CS(M−1). If all M bits match (decision block 111), then a hit is recorded in an array of phase values (i.e., PHASE(k)=HIT) at block 113. Thereafter, at decision block 115, the index k is tested to determine whether all the possible settings of the transmit phase offset register have been tested (e.g., if the phase offset register is an 8-bit register allowing for 256 possible phase offsets, then K is tested against a final value of 255). If not, then the index k is incremented at block 117 and a transmit phase advance command (XMT PHASE ADV) is output to slave(i) at block 119 to cause the slave device to increment the value in its transmit phase offset register. Execution of the calibration operation then loops back to block 105 to command slave(i) to output the test sequence with the incremented phase offset setting.
Returning to decision block 111, if the tested bits of the capture sequence do not match the bits of the test sequence, then index j is tested at decision block 121 to determine whether all the bits of the capture sequence have been tested. If not, j is incremented by a bit-per-cycle (BPC) value at block 123 and the bit-wise comparison of block 109 is repeated.
As mentioned above, the purpose for comparing the test sequence against bits at different offset positions within the capture sequence is that the number of clock cycles required for data propagation from slave(i) to the master device on the high-speed signaling path is initially unknown. Accordingly, the amount by which j is incremented in block 123 is selected to correspond to a cycle of the slave device transmit clock. Hence, the bit-per-cycle increment. If the system is operated as a single data rate system (one bit per cycle), then j is incremented by one at block 123 to effect a full clock cycle offset into the capture sequence. If the system is operated as a double data rate system (two bits per cycle), then j is incremented by two at block 123, and so forth for any data rate.
If, at decision block 115, k is determined to be the last phase offset to be tested (i.e., K=FINAL), then all the values of the phase array have been assigned either HIT or MISS values. Accordingly, at block 127, the phase array is evaluated to identify a range of HIT values. The content of the phase array at this point is illustrated graphically in
Returning to
At block 211, the test sequence is bit-wise compared against the capture sequence received and retransmitted by slave(i) to determine whether the test sequence was accurately received by the slave device. The operations performed in blocks 211-235 are analogous to the operations described in blocks 109-133 of

It should be noted that the calibration state machine may respond to other commands not shown in
Clock Cycle Alignment/Latency Levelization
It has been assumed thus far that the respective flight times on the high-speed signaling path between the slave devices and the master device are such that, in absence of slave transmit timing calibration, all slave transmissions would still arrive at the master device within the same clock cycle. In such a system, the same value of the index variable j (
Although latency levelization has been described in terms of slave device action (i.e., delaying responsive transmission to the master device), latency levelization may also be performed in the master device. For example, the master device may record a latency value per slave so that the master will know how many integral cycles of delay to expect before receiving a responsive transmission from a given slave device.
Concurrent Calibration of Slave Receive and Transmit Timing
As mentioned briefly above, both slave receive timing and slave transmit timing may be concurrently calibrated instead of one after the other. For example, phase hit/miss information may be recorded in a two dimensional phase array, PHASE(u, v), with the index u representing the range of phase offsets for the slave transmit clock and v representing the range of phase offsets for the slave receive clock. For each possible u, v combination, the master device transmits an out-of-band CAL RCV command to a selected slave device, then transmits an M-bit test sequence to the slave device via the high-speed signaling path. The slave device, responds to the CAL RCV command as shown in blocks 265, 267 of
As discussed above, by designing the circuit that generates the frequency reference signal (CLK) to exhibit negligible frequency drift, one-time calibration of slave device receive and transmit timing should be sufficient to allow reliable operation for an extended period thereafter. However, in systems or embodiments where periodic timing calibrations are desirable, such calibrations may be performed during quiet intervals on the high-speed signaling path. Because the calibration operations can be interrupted between any of the blocks of
The timing calibration techniques described in reference to
Master Device
According to one embodiment, the requester interface circuitry 307 includes logic to perform the master-side calibration operations described in reference to
Application of Single-Clock, Strobeless Signaling System
At system startup, the processor 341 executes initialization routines within the BIOS 347, including routines to direct the memory system timing calibration operations as described above. After the timing calibrations have been performed, the high-speed signaling path 37 may be used for high speed access to the memory devices without requiring timing references to be transmitted in synchronism with the data and control information.

Although the disclosure has been described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be evident that various modifications and changes may be made thereto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the disclosure as set forth in the appended claims. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.

We were driving to the Park Slope Food Co-op when the guy in the black car service car tried to cut us off.
There are in that single sentence four terms that I should define, for those of you who don't live in Brooklyn:
1) Park Slope is a once downscale neighborhood whose brownstone row houses, proximity to a park, and convenient subway lines have upscaled it. It's crammed with boutiques, wine bars, and young professionals with Golden Retrievers and Golden toddlers in Golden strollers. Which are usually pushed by nannies.
2) The Park Slope Food Co-op, founded in 1973, is a funky grocery store for members only, each of whom must work 2 3/4 hours every month for their nicely-priced organic rudebegas. Some of Park Slope's young professionals hire their nannies to work their shifts for them, an egregious no-no recently outed in the national media.
3) A car service car is always black, and driven by guys for whom English is the only obstacle that they can't run down. Car services are Brooklyn's non-metered taxis; you call rather than hail them, and haggle over the price for your trip.
4) "Cutting off" is what car service drivers do. When you haggle, time is money in a whole different way than it is when you meter.
We were driving to the Park Slope Food Co-op when the guy in the black car service car tried to cut us off. Paul was driving–
Paul always drives. He's a control freak, and my driving makes him grind his teeth because I leave space between myself and the car in front of me and permit car service cars to cut me off. I'm not crazy about his driving, either. It's not that he's exactly a bad driver, but he tailgates, for one thing. It's irritating and dangerous, but since I don't grind my teeth, I ride. We don't have dental insurance.
Paul's driving was sketchy enough in Boston, where five-lane cowpaths segue to rotaries, and street signs are considered a fascist plot. He said he thought of driving as a game of strategy: "Don't look 'em in the eye," he told me more than once, as he ignored another hapless driver's bid to enter I93 in a traffic jam.
Here in Brooklyn, drivers cannot live without their horns and their middle fingers. Stop for a siren-screaming ambulance; the guy behind you blasts the horn. Stop for a pedestrian in the cross walk, you get the horn and the finger. Stop in the wrong place, you might get a snarling Brooklynite with a tire iron.
And, of course, there are the car service cars.
Paul loves to drive in Brooklyn. Different game, different strategy.
When, on our way to the Park Slope Food Co-op, the guy in the black car service car tried to cut us off, Paul kept going.
"Stop it," I said. "He's on my side–you're gonna get me killed."
He grinned. "Just sending him a little message."
"Send him a message when you're driving alone, so when he comes at you with a tire iron, it's not my issue."
A block later, the car service driver tried it again–we were tailgating a school bus at the time–and again Paul shut the guy out.
"Stop it!" I glared at him. "His is bigger; live with it." And I didn't mean the black car (although that was, too).
Paul sighed and backed off. Two blocks later, we and the car service car were side-by-side at the same intersection. Which illustrates another Brooklyn driving maxim: even when you gain time and ground, you don't.
When, at last, we parked on an obscure side street in The Slope–you can't park near the Food Co-op; you can't park near anything in Park Sloop because there are too many damned cars– a man who'd parked ahead of us opened his car door right into the path of a biker.
The driver climbed out and helped the biker up from the street.
"Look at my bike," the biker lamented. "It's messed up."
The driver leapt onto the curb and shouted back, "I get out, make sure you're all right–I do that just to do the right thing, and you give me attitude–" And the car-door man huffed off, double-time, leaving the dazed biker to stand over his kinked front wheel.
Another player; another strategic move in the game…
