This application is a divisional of prior application Ser. No. 11/321,434, filed Dec. 29, 2005 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,627,713, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates generally to cache memory circuits, and more specifically to cache memory circuits used with mass storage devices.
Processing systems such as computers may include different types of subsystems that can be accessed at different speeds. For example, solid state memory devices may be accessed faster than mass storage devices such as hard disk drives. Some types of memory may be used to cache information that is read from a hard disk drive. Accessing data to be read ("read data") from or to be written ("write data") to a cache memory is generally faster than accessing the same data on a hard disk drive, and so many systems include hard disk cache memory.
Platform-based disk caches are disk caches physically outside the disk(s). On systems with platform-based disk caches, I/O to the cached disk may be requested while the disk cache is inaccessible. Data integrity is a concern when performing I/O during such periods of disk cache inaccessibility.
In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that show, by way of illustration, specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. It is to be understood that the various embodiments of the invention, although different, are not necessarily mutually exclusive. For example, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described herein in connection with one embodiment may be implemented within other embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. In addition, it is to be understood that the location or arrangement of individual elements within each disclosed embodiment may be modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims, appropriately interpreted, along with the full range of equivalents to which the claims are entitled. In the drawings, like numerals refer to the same or similar functionality throughout the several views.
Memory 140 represents any type of memory suitable for program or data storage. For example, memory 140 may include random access memory (RAM), dynamic random access memory (DRAM), read only memory (ROM), volatile memory such as static random access memory (SRAM), nonvolatile memory such as FLASH memory, or any other type of memory. Memory 140 may also represent removable media. Further, memory 140 may represent an apparatus having a medium upon which program instructions may be stored. For example, memory 140 may store program instructions that are executable by controller 110 or by a component within controller 110.
Mass storage device 120 may be any type of mass storage device. For example, mass storage device 120 may be a hard disk drive, an optical drive, a removable magnetic media drive, a redundant array of hard disk drives, a tape drive, or any other type of mass storage device. The remainder of this description focuses on embodiments in which mass storage device 120 is a hard disk drive, but the invention is not so limited.
Cache memory 130 is used to cache read data as well as write data for mass storage device 120. Cache memory 130 may be volatile or nonvolatile, and may include any type of memory technology. For example, cache memory 130 may be nonvolatile memory such as ovonics, polymer, FLASH, battery-backed DRAM, or the like. Also for example, cache memory 130 may be volatile memory such as DRAM, SRAM, or the like. The various embodiments of the present invention are not limited by the type of memory technology utilized for cache memory 130. In some embodiments, cache memory 130 may be part of memory 140, and may be maintained across power events by writing the data to mass storage device 120 on shutdowns/hibernates, and restoring the data from there on subsequent reboot/resume. In other embodiments, cache memory 130 may be part of mass storage device 120.
Bus 150 may be any type of bus capable of providing interconnect for the various functional blocks shown in
In some embodiments, accesses to mass storage device 120 take longer than accesses to cache memory 130. For example, in some embodiments, mass storage device 120 may be a hard disk drive that stores data magnetically on a spinning media, and cache memory 130 may be FLASH memory having faster access times than that of the disk drive. In these embodiments, read caching may provide performance improvements when the same data is accessed more than once, and write caching may provide performance improvements when data destined for the hard disk is written in the cache without first having to be written to the hard disk. Read caching and write caching in cache memory may provide other performance improvements as well.
To aid in the description of the various embodiments of the invention, the following terms are provided:
The software architecture includes application software (APPS) 210, operating system (OS) 220, and storage driver 230. Apps 210 may be any type of application software, and OS 220 may be any type of operating system software. For example, OS 220 may be a desktop operating system, a server operating system, a workstation operating system, a personal organizer operating system, a cellular phone operating system, or any other type of operating system. Accordingly, the methods and apparatus of the present invention may be utilized in many different hardware/software scenarios.
Storage driver 230 provides an interface between OS 220 and storage media. For example, storage driver 230 may receive requests from OS 220 to read data from, or write data to, mass storage device 120. In some embodiments of the present invention, storage driver 230 may utilize cache memory 130 for caching read data and write data. For example, when storage driver 230 receives a request to write data to mass storage device 120, storage driver 230 may cache the write data to cache memory 130. Further, storage driver 230 may coordinate the flushing of cache memory 130 to mass storage device 120.
Scenarios exist in which the operating system may request a read or write when the cache is inaccessible. For example, storage driver 230 may receive a request from OS 220 to write to mass storage device 120 while cache memory 130 is either powered down, or not available on bus 150 (
As described in the previous paragraph, the cache memory may be inaccessible. Example scenarios include hibernation, system crash, and boot pre-driver-load. During hibernation, various subsystems may be turned off in sequence. For example, the disk cache may be shut down prior to the hard disk being shut down, and the OS may still request a write. During a system crash, the operating system may provide notice to the storage driver that the system is going to crash. During boot pre-driver-load prior to loading the storage driver, the system may choose not to use the cache even though it may be possible using lower level software. A cache may become inaccessible for many different reasons, and the various embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the examples provided.
Storage driver 230 may receive a "cache inaccessibility notification" that indicates future inaccessibility of cache memory 130. For example, OS 220 may send a start message in the orthogonal crash driver context during an impending system crash. Depending on the severity of the crash, the cache may or may not be available for caching hard disk reads and writes. Cache 130 can then be queried to determine if the cache is available or not. Also for example, OS 220 may send a cache inaccessibility notification to signal future cache inaccessibility during a change in system state, such as standby, hibernation, or other system state in which the cache is inaccessible. Cache inaccessibility notifications may be utilized whenever the cache is to be inaccessible, and are not limited to the examples provided above.
A cache may become inaccessible without storage driver 230 receiving a cache inaccessibility notification. For example, the cache memory may become inaccessible because at some stage the system simply prefers not to access the cache.
Various embodiments of the present invention determine whether the cache memory is accessible or inaccessible, and then respond accordingly. For example, a range of embodiments ensure that crash-time and hibernate-time disk writes do not result in stale data in the cache, thus ensuring data integrity. Appropriate embodiments may be determined for a given implementation based on many factors, including for example, whether the disk and the cache device are powered and accessible during crash/hibernation processing. At some stages of the crash/hibernation processing, the disk caching logic may also be running in a limited environment (e.g. less memory available, run-time memory structures inaccessible, etc.), which limits the ability to implement a complex caching policy. Four embodiments are now described numbered one through four. These embodiments are not mutually exclusive. For example, features from one described embodiment may be included with features from a separately described embodiment without departing from the scope of the present invention.
1. Full Caching (Reads and Writes to Disk and Cache Device as Normal)
Any I/O during crash/hibernation is handled using normal caching operations and policies. In particular, reads to dirty data are satisfied from the cache. The caching policy may be simplified in a compatible manner, for example, by not performing further insertions for reads and/or writes.
This full caching embodiment may be utilized when the disk and cache device are both accessible and powered, and the system is able to implement at least simplified caching policies. For example, a cache inaccessibility notification may provide enough notice to the storage driver so that full caching may be performed for at least part of the time between receiving the notification and the cache becoming inaccessible.
Full caching may be a desirable option in part because it provides good performance during the change in system state (e.g., crash or hibernation) as well as during the subsequent restoration of system state (e.g., reboot or resume), with minimum additional complexity and special case handling. For example, full caching may be a preferred embodiment for use in hybrid drives that include non-volatile disk caching, where the cache and disk drive are powered down at roughly the same time during a change in system state.
2. Clean the Cache with a Full Flush, and Keep it Clean Using Immediate Cache-Line Invalidation on Write
In these embodiments, all dirty data is flushed from the cache if possible upon determination of cache inaccessibility, or as part of the actual crash/hibernation/inaccessibility handling. Further reads are satisfied from the disk, thus eliminating the need for complex caching algorithms during processing of the crash/hibernation. Further writes are also satisfied from the disk, and a check is made to determine whether the data exists in the cache, and invalidate it if so. When cache data is invalidated, memory structures that indicate what is cached are updated, or the memory structures are restored from the cached device on recovery.
In these embodiments, both the disk and cache device are powered and accessible during all stages of hibernation and crash. Further, in these embodiments, the caching policy is much simpler than in normal operation (only flush and invalidate operations go to the cache device).
3. Clean the Cache with a Full Flush. Allow Stale Data while the Cache is Inaccessible. Log Writes to Cache Device or Disk. Invalidate/Update Stale Data During Subsequent Reboot/Resume/Cache Accessibility
This embodiment is the most complex of the numbered embodiments described, and is also described below in pseudo-code. Upon determination of cache inaccessibility, all dirty data is flushed from the cache if possible. This could be, for example, during a crash/hibernation notification event, or as part of the actual crash/hibernation/inaccessibility handling. Reads during the period of cache inaccessibility go to the disk without caching the read data. The writes also go to the disk without caching write data, and a log is kept of the writes performed so that any stale data in the cache can be invalidated when the cache next becomes accessible. The log is referred to herein as a "cache synchronization log." As described above, the various embodiments of the present invention are not limited to system crashes and hibernation events.
Note that if the cache synchronization log is limited in size, a marker (bit/value/range/string) may be maintained in the log to indicate that more than a maximum number of writes occurred, and in that case the entire cache may be invalidated by the storage firmware/driver/controller. The cache synchronization log may be stored on the cache or the disk, and processed during the subsequent reboot/resume/cache accessibility. This includes reflecting the invalidates in the memory metadata structures. The cache synchronization log has a location known to both the storage driver/firmware/controller and the reboot/resume firmware. This location may be fixed, or information about the location may be pre-stored in the disk cache.
In some embodiments, when a sector-write is requested by the OS during cache inaccessibility, a check is performed to determine if that sector is in the cache (this check can be performed with data in memory 140), and add it to the cache synchronization log only if the check succeeds.
Note that if the cache synchronization log is stored on the disk, then it may be placed in any sector(s) that is/are present in the cache; e.g., sector 0 can be marked as permanently cached and sector 0 can be always used for storing the cache synchronization log. A write log identification number/string may also be written to sector 0 to detect whether or not OS writes to sector 0 happened during the crash/hibernation, in which case the cache may be reset during the reboot/resume. Note also that whenever the cache synchronization log is used, a flush of dirty data is performed prior to recording disk writes in the log because the metadata structures that determine whether something is a read hit or not will not reflect invalidates and may cause a read of stale data.
Both the cache and the disk must be accessible and powered during the flush. If the cache synchronization log is written to the cache device, the two must also be accessible and powered post-flush. However, if the cache synchronization log is written to the disk, then the cache device may be off post-flush.
In alternate embodiments, the cache flush may be done only if the cache synchronization log overflows. In these embodiments, the reads may be satisfied from the cache whenever possible.
The following pseudo-code describes processing associated with receiving a cache inaccessibility notification, processing write requests, and reboot/resume during hibernation, when the disk cache cannot be accessed. This example illustration uses sector 0 of the cached device as the location for the cache synchronization log. A write log identification string of "synch-log" is stored as the last 9 bytes in sector 0 to indicate the intent of this sector. In some embodiments, sector 0 may include a pointer to point to the cache synchronization log, which is kept elsewhere. In this example, the cache synchronization log is limited to 10 entries, and sector 0 is always cached. The specific constants (e.g., size of the cache synchronization log) in this example are used for readability and understandability only, and may be parameterized. System crashes and other instances of cache inaccessibility may be similarly handled.

4. Flush Cache. Send Writes and Reads to Disk. Invalidate Cache on Reboot/Resume
Upon determining cache inaccessibility, all dirty data is flushed from the cache. This could be, for example, during a crash/hibernation notification event, or as part of the actual crash/hibernation/inaccessibility handling. Further reads and writes during periods of cache inaccessibility are satisfied from the disk. The entire cache is invalidated during the subsequent reboot/resume. The invalidation/reset may also happen upon determining cache inaccessibility, in which case caching is turned off immediately after the invalidation, and turned back on during the next boot/resume or when the cache becomes accessible. This embodiment may be useful when the cache is accessible and powered through the flush, and inaccessible after that, and a simple approach is preferred.
In some embodiments, separate elements of the four above described embodiments are combined in a system. For example, in some embodiments, crash handling may use one embodiment, and hibernation may use another embodiment. A system may use any number of embodiments in combination for various types of system state changes without departing from the scope of the present invention.
One solution for a Microsoft Windows XP based computer having an external disk cache on a mini-PCI-[express] bus may be as follows:
(a) For crash handling, both the disk drive and the cache are accessible, and any of the numbered embodiments listed above may be utilized. For example, a simple embodiment, such as #2, above, may be utilized for crash handling. Since Windows XP doesn't include read entry-points for crash/hibernation mini-kernels, the flush during crash/hibernation may be skipped, relying on firmware to do the same on the subsequent reboot/resume.
(b) For hibernation handling, embodiment #3, above, may be utilized. The OS provides a pre-notification (a power management event) during which both the disk cache and the disk are accessible, and the flush can be performed. After the flush, the system begins the actual hibernation during which time the cache is not accessible, and disk writes are logged to sector 0 on the hard disk.
Method 300 is shown beginning with block 310. At 310, cache inaccessibility is determined. In some embodiments, cache inaccessibility is determined when a cache inaccessibility notification is received. For example, this may correspond to a storage driver receiving a notification of an impending change of system state, such as a system crash or hibernation event. In other embodiments, cache inaccessibility is determined by querying the cache to determine its state, or by choosing to declare the cache inaccessible.
At 320, a disk cache is flushed to a hard disk if possible. For example, a flush may be conditionally performed based on whether the disk cache is currently accessible.
At 330, a write operation is performed to the hard disk. In some embodiments, the write operation is performed by a storage driver in response to a request by an operating system. At 340, a log of the write operation is maintained. In some embodiments, the log is maintained on the hard disk. Further, in some embodiments, the log is maintained on the disk cache.
At 350, a determination is made whether the log overflowed. In some embodiments, this is performed by simply counting the number of log entries. For example, the procedure OnWritesDuringActualHibernation described above counts the number of log entries, and if the number becomes larger than ten, then an overflow has occurred. Logs can be any size, and are not limited to ten entries.
At 360, an overflow indication is written to the log if the actions of 350 determined that an overflow occurred. An overflow indication may be written by incrementing the number of log entries beyond the point at which an overflow occurs, without physically overflowing the log. For example, the procedure OnWritesDuringActualHibernation described above increments the number of log entries past ten to indicate a log overflow without continuing to write to the log. In other embodiments, overflow indications may be written by setting a flag, overwriting a write log identification string, or the like.
The actions of method 300 may be performed by one software procedure or may be split among multiple software procedures. For example, the cache may be flushed by a procedure that responds to the cache inaccessibility notification, and the writes to the hard disk may be performed by a procedure that responds to I/O requests made by an operating system.
Method 400 is shown beginning with block 410. At 410, the apparatus performing the method awakes from a low power state. For example, a system may boot up from a power off state, or may resume from a hibernation state. When entering the low power state, a log file may have been created to log writes to a hard disk that bypassed a disk cache while the cache was inaccessible.
At 420, a log is accessed that includes information regarding previous writes to a hard disk performed while a cache was inaccessible. At 430, a determination is made whether the log is corrupt. In some embodiments, this corresponds to a log overflow condition as described above with reference to
If the log is found to be corrupt, the entire cache is invalidated at 450. If the log is not corrupt, disk cache entries that correspond to the previous writes to the hard disk are invalidated at 440. This invalidates any cache data that became stale as a result of the disk writes while the cache was inaccessible.
Example systems represented by
RF circuits 510 may include amplifiers, modulators, demodulators, and other signal processing circuits. In operation, RF circuits 510 receive communications signals from antenna 520, and provide digital signals to system 100 for processing. For ease of illustration, frequency conversion, demodulation, analog-to-digital conversion, and other signal processing is not shown. In some embodiments, RF circuits 510 may include a heterodyne receiver, and in other embodiments, RF circuits 510 may include a direct conversion receiver. In some embodiments, RF circuits 510 may include multiple receivers. For example, in embodiments with multiple antennas 520, each antenna may be coupled to a corresponding receiver.
RF circuits 510 may be adapted to receive and demodulate signals of various formats and at various frequencies. For example, RF circuits 510 may be adapted to receive time domain multiple access (TDMA) signals, code domain multiple access (CDMA) signals, global system for mobile communications (GSM) signals, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals, multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) signals, spatial-division multiple access (SDMA) signals, or any other type of communications signals. The various embodiments of the present invention are not limited in this regard.
Antenna 520 may include one or more antennas. For example, antenna 520 may include a single directional antenna or an omni-directional antenna. As used herein, the term omni-directional antenna refers to any antenna having a substantially uniform pattern in at least one plane. For example, in some embodiments, antenna 520 may include a single omni-directional antenna such as a dipole antenna, or a quarter wave antenna. Also for example, in some embodiments, antenna 520 may include a single directional antenna such as a parabolic dish antenna or a Yagi antenna. In still further embodiments, antenna 520 includes multiple physical antennas. For example, in some embodiments, multiple antennas are utilized for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) processing or spatial-division multiple access (SDMA) processing.
Although the present invention has been described in conjunction with certain embodiments, it is to be understood that modifications and variations may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as those skilled in the art readily understand. Such modifications and variations are considered to be within the scope of the invention and the appended claims.

The Assignation: Stories (Paperback)
Email or call for price
Special Order
A woman's lover seems not to recognize her on the street. A teenage girl accepts a ride from a stranger in a rust-speckled Cadillac. An old man is obsessed by the memory of his innocent childhood intrusion on a half-dressed aunt.
In forty-four very short, very powerful stories, Joyce Carol Oates fashions brief, intensely compact dramas out of the unwieldy material of human experience. The stories in The Assignation are infused with a "radiant intensity," wrote James Atlas in the New York Times Book Review, and they convey the depth and scope of a novel in a few charged pages. The Assignation is an electric display of the talents that make Joyce Carol Oates one of our finest short story writers.

Italian Infused Broccoli
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 1 min
This is the recipe I use when steaming Broccoli. It lightly infuses the broccoli with the seasonings without adding seasoning on top after cooking. I use a tupperware microwave steamer for this recipe.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 cups broccoli, cut up
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 basil leaves, crushed
- In base of steamer, add lemon juice, garlic, and basil leaves.
- Put the middle piece on top and put broccoli on it.
- Put lid on steamer.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute. Let it stand for 1 minute. Check for color and tenderness. (if still too raw, microwave for another 30 seconds).
Most Helpful
This is a quick and simple recipe! I used a 10-oz package of frozen chopped broccoli, since it was in my freezer for no particular reason. An entire cup of lemon juice seemed like a lot, so I used 3/4 cup, and I'm glad I did; it was still a bit too citrusy for my taste. I used jarred minced garlic and dried sweet basil, but I didn't measure them out, just eyeballed it. It was still lovely. Made for My-3-Chefs, November 2009. Thanks for posting!

Jan Brewer's Anti-DACA Driver's License Policy Remains in Effect for Now
A federal appeals court last month ordered a temporarily end to Arizona's rules that prevent participants in the Obama Administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program from receiving driver's licenses, but that ban didn't take effect.
The state then asked that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals review its decision to enjoin Governor Jan Brewer's executive order denying the issuance of licenses to these young immigrants, so what was a major victory for DACA recipients in Arizona was put on hold.
"It's just shameful that the state is continuing to spend money defending this indefensible policy," ACLU of Arizona executive director Alessandra Soler tells New Times. "We've had a decision now by a lower court and an appellate court that the policy is discriminatory."

In early July, the Ninth Circuit ordered a preliminary injunction against the Brewer policy, which would have put a halt on it while the court case goes on. The three-judge panel found that the plaintiffs -- five DACA recipients in Arizona -- are "likely to suffer irreparable harm" unless the policy was enjoined.
Two years ago today, Brewer created the executive order over her apparent disagreement with the Obama Administration's DACA program, explaining that her move was to prevent "illegal people" from getting driver's licenses. However, her ban didn't include other non-citizens who have been allowed to get Arizona driver's licenses for years. After it became clear that the policy discriminated against a certain group of immigrants, Brewer's administration then revised the policy by extending the ban to more non-citizens, although they'd previously been able to obtain a license without any such trouble from Brewer.
Attorneys for the ACLU, Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and the National Immigration Law Center sought for the temporary ban on Brewer's policy, arguing that young immigrants in Arizona were suffering every day that they couldn't drive to work, despite their having employment authorization documents. (The plaintiffs are ultimately seeking a permanent ban on Brewer's order, citing constitutional violations.)
The appeals court panel issued that preliminary injunction against Brewer's policy "prohibiting Defendants from enforcing any policy by which the Arizona Department of Transportation refuses to accept Plaintiffs' Employment Authorization Documents, issued to Plaintiffs under DACA, as proof that Plaintiffs are authorized under federal law to be present in the United States."
However, the state has asked that a full 11-judge panel of the appeals court rule on the issue -- a request that prevents the injunction against Brewer's order from taking effect.
Again, attorneys for the plaintiffs are trying to get a temporary injunction against Brewer's order, citing the harm being done every day that these people with federal authorization to work can't get a driver's license.
"It's not at all lost on the legal team that we have 23,000 DACA recipients in Arizona who can't get a driver's license," National Immigration Law Center attorney Karen Tumlin says.
There's no telling how much longer it will take for another ruling on the temporary injunction.
Brewer's office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
UPDATE 12:31 p.m.: Here's the response we got from Brewer's spokesman Andrew Wilder:
The ADAC filing isn't a story since it was hardly surprising. The only surprise is that the plaintiffs didn't originally file this motion with the 9th Circuit when the appeal was filed in 2013.
Now, after filing the same motion with the District Court -- which speedily denied it last week -- plaintiffs have chosen to file the same tired motion in the 9th Circuit, who is seriously contemplating the state's en banc appeal that the panel ruling was wrong.

text: 000 FXUS63 KAPX 270535 AFDAPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 135 AM EDT WED JUL 27 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 943 PM EDT Tue Jul 26 2016 Weak frontal boundary combined with lingering low level convergence via this afternoon`s lake breeze continues to produce a line of showers and thunderstorms across Upper Michigan late this evening. Overall intensity has diminished with sunset/decreasing diurnal instability. Latest RAP13 does suggest some weak widely scattered convection will continue to fire along this boundary as it sinks southward thru our CWA overnight. This seems reasonable given MUCAPES of 500-1000 J/kg and some 850 mb theta E ridging holding on along the front thru the night. Have slightly increased POPs overnight for much of our CWA...and better defined timing of these POPs. Still do not expect severe storms for the balance of the night thanks to weak wind fields and diminishing instability. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening and overnight) Issued at 250 PM EDT Tue Jul 26 2016 Overview...A cold front in Northern Minnesota/Western Lake Superior is slowly moving toward the forecast area. It is connected to a low pressure system near James Bay. South of the front is the High pressure system that has been producing mostly sunny skies over the forecast area. Tonight/Wednesday...Main concern over the next 24 hours is the cold front in northern Minnesota as it sags south into the forecast area. The models continue to try and kick off thunderstorms that are supposed to move into E Upper this afternoon/early evening. As noted in previous update AFD, closest precipitation is well west in Minnesota with the front. As the front approaches the forecast area, we get more and more stable, and with a weak front like this, less of a chance for showers, let alone thunder. GFS is the wettest of the models with a cluster that moves into the region. The ECMWF, on this run, has something with the front. Hires models and NAM, have brief showers that pass through. So have kept the pops low as it moves through the region. The better chance will be on Wednesday as the low slows to a crawl near M-72 and produces scattered showers and thunderstorms through the day, especially in the afternoon with the heat of the day. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Tuesday) Issued at 250 PM EDT Tue Jul 26 2016 Wednesday night through Friday... High impact weather potential: Scattered thunderstorms possible across parts of the area at various times throughout the period. Pattern synopsis/expected evolution: Weak mid-upper level troughing is present at the start of the period with a more pronounced shortwave trekking through the upper Mississippi Valley and into the Great Lakes Wednesday night-Thursday. Another, more subtle wave, approaches the region from the west late in the day Friday. Both of these features will ultimately result in increased precip chances through the period. Forecast concerns/challenges: PoPs and thunder chances. Wednesday night - Thursday: Aforementioned shortwave approaches from the northwest Wed night into the day Thursday, ultimately leading to low end chance PoPs, mainly along and south of M-72 as dry surface high pressure is anchored to the north and the greatest forcing for ascent lies from there south. As hinted at by the aforementioned PoPs, would expect that any scattered precip able to develop or survive the trip across Lake Michigan would be fairly scattered in nature. While instability remains marginal, there certainly could be a rumble of thunder or two so have no reason to remove inherited thunder chances. Thursday night - Friday night: Very similar feel during this portion of the forecast with another, although more subtle, shortwave rotating through mid-level flow. High pressure centered to the north is expected to limit the overall moisture and associated precip across northern Michigan. Latest trends suggest much, if not all, showers and storms will remain south of M-55 through Friday night. Run-to-run model inconsistencies preclude removing PoPs completely south of M-55, but did decrease somewhat for this forecast package and if trends continue, would find it hard to see more than just a widely scattered shower or storm prevail. Little in the way of temperature concerns with near-normal temperatures expected Thursday and Friday as highs ranging from the upper 70s to lower 80s. Lows in the middle to upper 50s. Gillen Extended (Saturday through Tuesday) issued at 300 PM EST TUES Jul 26 2016 At 500mb... A broad trough will position itself over the Great Lakes basin for the remainder of the weekend. The troughing is weak and should not result in any significant weather as the the model suite has converged on a weaker, larger trough that lacks any vorticity. Ridging will takeover for the rest of the forecast period. At the surface... Saturday through Tuesday looks to remain dry with a surface high located over Ontario keeping our flow from the northeast. The air associated with that flow will be dry limiting any precip chances. The period looks to be dominated by that surface high keeping our temps in the upper 70s to mid 80s. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night) Issued at 135 AM EDT Wed Jul 27 2016 VFR, though with shra/tsra chances. A weak cold front will move slowly south across northern lower MI today and tonight. Isolated shra/tsra possible along this front thru this morning. Shra/tsra activity will become more considerable this afternoon/evening. Have included TS only in the TVC taf for now, seems to be in the best spot re: the incoming front and associated instability/forcing to get tsra going. VFR will be the prevailing condition, though brief incursions into lower categories are possible as shra/tsra develop. Light westerly to northerly breezes. && .MARINE... Issued at 250 PM EDT Tue Jul 26 2016 Tonight through Thursday...A weak pressure gradient is expected to settle in over the Upper Great Lakes for the next 60 hours. this will leave the winds at 10 knots or less, with gusts no higher than 20 knots, and the worst would be on Thursday as the sfc trough forms in the Ohio Valley and high pressure builds into the Upper Great Lakes from the north. Waves for the most part will remain 3 feet or less through the period. && .APX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MI...NONE. LH...NONE. LM...NONE.

Italian moderate leftist Enrico Letta began complex talks on Thursday on forming a new coalition government aimed at tackling what the prime minister-designate called a social "emergency".
The 46-year-old Letta -- who would be one of Europe's youngest leaders if he succeeds -- has said he wants a government that is more in tune with the needs of ordinary Italians and that can steer away from harsh austerity measures.
Silvio Berlusconi's rightist People of Freedom party and outgoing Prime Minister Mario Monti's centrist coalition have all said they will support his government. But the talks will be no easy ride between bickering political forces.
Letta's own Democratic Party is divided over the proposed alliance with Berlusconi, even though the 76-year-old scandal-tainted billionaire tycoon and former prime minister is not expected to be included in any new cabinet.
His bulwark of support will be President Giorgio Napolitano, who nominated Letta on Wednesday and has urged politicians to set their differences aside and form as wide a coalition as possible to deal with urgent economic issues.
Monti's government has limped on since the former European commissioner handed in his resignation in December and remains in place until a Letta cabinet is formed, which most political analysts say will happen this week.
Monti was widely praised for his budget discipline and bold reforms abroad. But he came a distant fourth in a February general election after official figures showed the economy shrank and unemployment had risen under his rule.
The elections were very narrowly won by a centre-left coalition led by the Democratic Party, with Berlusconi coming in a very close second after he promised to scrap an unpopular property tax implemented by Monti.
A protest party led by former comedian Beppe Grillo came in third place, winning a quarter of the vote on promises to revolutionise society and crack down on a pervasive culture of political perks that has inflamed many Italians.
Letta is relatively unknown internationally, although he has been a minister three times since the late 1990s. He is a former member of the European Parliament and worked at the Italian Treasury during its drive to adopt the euro.
A web-savvy politician with his own blog and Twitter account, Letta is also a fluent speaker of English and French and part of a generation of Italian political leaders who have often been held back because considered too young.
In comments posted on his blog Wednesday, he said he had been extremely surprised when he got the call from Napolitano.
Amid increasing poverty and rising number of young people looking abroad, Italy has spent 50 days without a government, he wrote.
"Italians are fed up," he wrote. "They want answers."
Letta started out in the centre-right Christian Democratic party and his uncle Gianni Letta is a top Berlusconi ally, making him one of the few figures in Italy who can bridge a very disparate coalition.
In a speech after receiving the nomination on Wednesday, Letta promised to boost employment, save businesses and act against rising poverty, as well as cutting the number of parliamentarians in order to reduce bureaucratic costs.
Financial markets have performed relatively well over the past few days -- with stocks rising and borrowing costs falling ahead of the government announcement -- although analysts warned the cabinet may be short-lived.
Some observers are predicting a Letta government may only last a few months to a year before differences between the parties and within the left become too much, although political leaders have insisted they want a lasting solution.
Recent polls suggest a return to the polls any time soon would see Berlusconi emerge victorious.

Taylor-Görtler vortices expected in the air flow on sea surface waves—II

The instability of Taylor-Görtler vortices which are expected in the air flow on water waves was studied in part I, under the assumption that the curvature around the crest or the trough of water waves, where the instability was expected to take place first, was constant, namely that the characteristics of the vortices were affected little by the local change of the curvature along the direction of the progress of water waves (the direction ofx-axis) However, the curvature actually varies from positive to negative, or vice versa. In order to study this effect, the instability of Taylor-Görtler vortices is examined with respect to the range of the part of a constant curvature, in the model in which the curvature is positive constant near the trough and negative constant near the crest, and zero in the intermediate regions, respectively. It is shown that as the region of the constant curvature becomes narrower, the instability tends to weaken. For the same example with part I, namely, when the wind of 12.2 m s−1 is blowing over swells of 15 m in wavelength, if the range of constant curvature near the trough is taken as a quarter of one wave length, the critical wave height becomes 0.96 m instead of 0.50 m, and conversely, the wave length and the height of center of the vortex become 11.9 m and 2.1 m instead of 24 m and 3.7 m, respectively.
Further, using the energy equations, quantitative estimates are performed of the intensity of the vortices which develop when the wave height of the swell is 1.05 m in the above described example, and also of the influence of the vortices upon the wind profile when the equilibrium state is reached. When the vortices are generated and grow to attain to an equilibrium state interacting with the mean flow, the maximumx-component of velocity in the vortices is about 1.04 m s−1. Consequently, the wind profile undergoes a considerable distortion from the logarithmic one near the level of 2 m height. This distorted wind profile has a form similar to those sometimes observed above the sea surface.

ONAWAY — The Onaway volleyball team improved to 2-0 in the Ski Valley Conference, capturing a 3-0 victory over Inland Lakes (25-14, 25-12, 25-12) on Tuesday.
Onaway is now 22-4-3 overall on the season.
"It was quite a serving match," Onaway volleyball coach Steve Watson said of the matchup with the Bulldogs. "They (Inland Lakes) really forced us into some bad passes early on, but we were able to adjust to their servers. Our servers also did a really good job, and their serve receive struggled to keep up with our servers. Our servers were really able to put a lot of pressure on them."
"I was pleased with our hitters, Devin Bristley and Sara Fullerton, tonight. They were very efficient. Overall, it was a really solid match for our girls."
Leading the way for the Cardinals were Bristley (six kills, 10 aces, four digs) and Fullerton (six kills, four digs, block), while Mariah Ehrke (seven kills, eight digs, four aces) and Taylor Ehrke (21 assists, four aces, three digs, two kills) also had strong nights. Morganne Badgero and Brianna Fitzpatrick rounded out the Cardinals with five digs apiece defensively.
Onaway will be off until next Tuesday when they travel to Forest Area for another Ski Valley match.

One seemingly ordinary winter's night in Downtown Memphis, I was going from event to event focused on work – specifically trying to stay on a schedule in which several things I wanted to cover were happening at the same time.That is usually when you miss the experience that is Memphis on an everyday but definitely not ordinary basis.So I get in a parking garage elevator and on the next floor David Porter – of Stax Records fame – gets on and he introduces me to his friend, Maurice White – the founder of Earth Wind and Fire. They too are trying to be in several places at the same time.As they went their way and I went mine, I remember thinking this is quite a special place.The encounter slowed my stride a bit and took some of the edge off the schedule – noticing for the first time how many people were out on a winter's night in our city having nothing but a good time made better by all of us going our different ways.White, who was from Memphis, died Thursday with his band's music stronger and more relevant than ever.If you grew up listening to EWF when the songs were new, you know that the bright and funky sound and the positive, affirming, and diverse identity of this music was quite intentional at a time when there was plenty going on that could have pushed it the other way.If your parents or grandparents grew up listening to EWF, this music is a part of your family's tradition that calls to mind special occasions and even your own mild surprise the first time you found yourself dancing to it with your children.And if your folks' vinyl record collection from back in the day included Earth Wind and Fire, that was one of the ones you listened to when they weren't around and one of the ones you took with you when you got a place of your own.
History can be like geology once you get it in something that isn't in the form of a book.There are layers on top of layers that you may not ever see or miss until a site is wiped clean for the next present that used to be the future and will eventually become the past.That's the case with the city's historic Medical Center where much has come and gone several times over as our city's considerable investment in medicine and health approaches the end of its second century.Health Sciences Park used to be the site of a hospital. You would think something as massive as the tower of Baptist Memorial Hospital's central campus on Union Avenue would be missed. Yet even those of us who grew up with its presence drive past it every day without a thought of what was once there.The same with the site of Russwood Park on the north side of Madison Avenue and the old bus barns where Beale used to run further east than it does now.In recent years, new facilities have arisen as the medical center makes itself over in a kind of economic regeneration without a comprehensive plan.There is now an effort to come up with a comprehensive plan for the area that is more than different ventures buying or leasing land and making plans for their needs.Eight of the institutions in the area have hired a consulting firm to develop a master plan that includes not just facilities but residential and retail areas.It's a significant step for an area that remains intriguing for those of us trying to remember what was where and how long some of the survivors have been holding out in much different streetscapes than were there when they arrived.The Masonic lodge at the dead end of Dunlap into Union Avenue is a survivor. It's where the funerals were held for some of those killed in the 1925 river disaster in which Tom Lee rescued so many others.The lodge at one time had an earth-shaking pipe organ that I had the rare privilege of hearing at a concert following its restoration in the 1980s – the ancient 1980s.And I still wonder about the tiny medical textbook storefront and how it endures at a time when students rent books and others use digital versions.There are still remnants of the porous border between the medical center and the Union Avenue auto row that used to exist and arose around the old Ford plant.

His second day on the job, the new Memphis Police Director, Michael Rallings, met the Memphis City Council and discovered just what a huge issue police body cameras are – if he didn't know that already.His answers to some pointed questions about when police can turn off those cameras and why made this an uneven first encounter.Council members told him they got an earful from constituents over the weekend in the wake of the fatal police shooting of Johnathan Bratcher in South Memphis. And some of the reaction they got was to reports that a police dispatcher ordered police trying out the body cameras to turn them off as they arrived at the scene of the shooting.There are three cameras being tested. And one of the officers with them showed up after the shooting, according to police.Meanwhile, Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland still didn't have a timetable for the roll-out of the cameras but did offer some specifics including hiring by the MPD of 10 new personnel to deal with the handling of what the camera records.And Strickland's intention is to pay for it out of the existing MPD budget.

King was born a sharecropper's son in Mississippi, came of age in Memphis, Tennessee, and became the ambassador who brought his all-American music to his country and the world. No one worked harder than B.B. No one inspired more up-and-coming artists. No one did more to spread the gospel of the blues.
