Graves Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Graves has quickly become my top ranged carry and even with the upcoming nerfs to his passive, I dont see that changing. He excels at everything and doesnt fizzle out late game. I build him like I build ashe, except I get starks before Black Cleaver. Getting it early is a leap of faith I know, but you will agree once you try it. Use your ult to initiate team fights and stay out of range.
Last Item can vary depending on enemy team makeup, but I usually just get Banshee's veil simply because I am always focused. If they have alot of Thornmail, finish off with a Bloodthirster. If they have high armor, get a Last whisperer.

Over the years, favorite writers have been Russell Banks, Frederick Busch, Louis de Bernieres, Joan Didion, Jim Harrison, Mary Karr, Cormac McCarthy, Sue Miller, Jack O"Connell, Walker Percy, Annie Proulx, Reynolds Price, James Salter, Josef Skvorecky, Andrew Vachss, and Robert Wilson, to name but a few.
When I was young I was greatly taken by Claude Brown, Richard Brautigan, Dick Gregory, A.A. Milne, Vonnegut, Salinger and Shakespeare.
Forgive me, I see it's like reviewing the "begats."
I have enjoyed film and movies at various times, usually for long periods, and concurrent with what was available in the place where I was living. Lately, I just fall asleep. Then I have to decide if I want to go back to the beginning or simply return the DVD without watching it.
Music is a huge subject for me, and personal. For over a decade, I have been rehearsing almost every Tuesday evening with a jazz quintet that began as a quartet. The piano player, who upon occasion would sit-in, just wouldn't go away and he finally had Tuesday nights free. So, quintet.
I cooked professionally for a number of years back in the 1970s and 1980s. I enjoy cooking when the kitchen is well-stocked and available; gardening, when the dirt is available and piled high.
I am a big fan of the movie, "Despicable Me." I mention this, because if I lived with Minions, I would constantly be cracking-up and could say in all honestly that THEY would be one of the six things I could never live without. Which is different from, "do without," and I could never consider Minions "things," (are they not really our best friends?) but imagination can be a valuable resource, especially when attempting to define oneself against others' pre-programmed conditions. (Alas, for the Minions, for are we not them?) But then, I find myself longing for - more than six - hundreds of nearly identical bright yellow cartoon characters in goggles, inhabiting with me less that 800 square feet. A practicing student in stating the obvious, I digress.

The bill doesn't kick in until 2006, and all the dire speculation on what it can and can't do will be only that — dire speculation — as we head toward the 2004 elections.
People send their elected officials to Washington and to other state capitals around the country to get things done, not to score political points against the opposition, although sometimes playing the old game seems to dominate the news.
Voters give little or no credit to the arguments that we came close to passing a bill but in the end refused to reach agreement because we couldn't get this or that in the bill, or that the other side tried to do this or that to please its special interests.
They do give credit, however, for progress in moving the ball forward, no matter how small the gain. Political arguments for lack of progress might sway strong Republican or Democratic partisans and influence their votes. But the large bloc of swing voters in the middle largely rejects such arguments, and rewards accomplishment and punishes failure.
Look what happened to Bill Clinton and the Democrats when they failed to pass a health care bill in 1994, even with solid Democratic majorities in both the Senate and the House. They not only failed to reach a compromise on a health plan that majorities could back, but also flopped at efforts to get a bill out of committee and onto the floor for a vote.
When the 1994 elections came, Democrats lost control of both houses of Congress for the first time in 40 years.
House Republicans cleverly campaigned in the 1994 congressional elections emphasizing the Democratic majority's failure to enact key legislation. They devised a so-called Contract With America that listed 10 bills Republican candidates promised to enact if given control of the House. These included passing a balanced budget amendment and forcing term limits on members of Congress. They delivered on many, or at least brought them up for votes.
In 1995, with Republicans in control of Capitol Hill and Clinton looking ahead to re-election in 1996, the president changed course and went along with some legislation he previously opposed — welfare reform and balanced budget, to name two of the biggest.
In the process, Republicans forgot their own message of progress and shut down the government over a budget disagreement with the Democrats. People not only send their elected officials to Washington to get things done, they also expect them to keep the government running. Shutting it down to score a point in a political squabble sent the wrong signal and contributed mightily to Clinton's political turnaround as he headed into his re-election year. He took the high ground and looked good.
Clinton campaigned in 1996 taking credit for bills passed by the GOP majority and boosted himself to a second term.
As recently as last year, Democrats — who controlled the Senate at the time — refused to pass the Homeland Security bill over a union dispute. President Bush campaigned hard against them, saying they were playing politics with the national security. When Democrats were trounced in the election, losing control of the Senate, they meekly came back to Washington and passed the bill. But not until they paid a political price for not producing.
If this Medicare bill had failed because they were unable to get an agreement, Republicans would have paid the price. They are in charge of Congress, as the Democrats were when health care flopped.
Democrats who think they can make gains against Bush by hammering flaws in the bill are only preaching to the choir. Senior scare doesn't work that well any more, and swing voters are smarter than that. Everyone knows Medicare needs reform and this bill, imperfect as it is, is a start. That debate will continue.
Bottom line: People reward progress, no matter how small; they punish obstructionism, regardless of how noble the cause.

Speaking of gratitude, I want to thank the employees of Farrish Fairfax Auto Body. Upon completion, I realized that I wanted to protect the end result. Unfortunately, I had a bear of a time finding an auto body shop that was willing to take on the task of clear-coating the finished product. Fortunately, I contacted Kevin Wynn at Farrish Fairfax Auto Body. Kevin, the manager of the body shop, and George Gallahan, the assistant manager, couldn't have been more helpful. They insured that the sculpture was treated with care, and put a protective coating on the surface that is undetectable. I send them a hearty thank you. Now, "The Steward" will be able to travel to New York City in October without damage, and whoever purchases the sculpture will have a well-protected piece of art.

Semiconductors are present in forms of modern technology ranging from computers to solar cells.
Electronic devices rely on being able to control the flow of electrons around microscopic circuits. Achieving this requires careful control of the properties of the semiconducting material, producing materials with exceptionally high purity, and harnessing new materials. Research at ISIS in this area includes:
One of the principal challenges in harnessing the energy of the sun is producing cheap, large area devices that can collect useful amounts of the sun's energy. A potential route to such devices uses polymers that can be printed onto a surface and assemble themselves into the structure required to capture light effectively. Scientists have used ISIS to investigate how this process of self-assembly works and how these materials arrange themselves on surfaces. Work to understand how electronic charges move through these materials has used muons to examine the upper limit for intrinsic mobility.
Many semiconductor devices are grown by deposition from hydride gases and this can lead to hydrogen defects that trap conduction electrons. It can be difficult to determine the form that these defects take, but muons can impersonate hydrogen in semiconductors and give an easier way to examine this sort of defect. This has been done for a wide range of semiconductors, an example being zinc oxide, which is transparent and suitable for white light applications.
Pairing magnetic and semiconducting materials offers the possibility of using the magnetic moment of electrons to carry information, rather than just their electrical charge. This would offer new ways of making computers and is referred to as spintronics. ISIS neutrons have shown how potential materials for such applications function at the microscopic level and how fine-tuning can optimise their properties.
Chipir is a new instrument currently being built at ISIS that will irradiate electronic devices with neutrons to learn how they respond to cosmic rays. A cosmic ray hitting a semiconductor device can change the information stored in a device's memory or damage the electronics more permanently. By using the intense neutron beam available at ISIS, an hour of testing can simulate hundreds of years of flying time in an aircraft. This will lead to a better understanding of how different device designs mitigate the effects of cosmic rays.
More detailed descriptions of semiconductor research carried out at ISIS are listed on the following pages.

Octagon 88 Resources (OCTX) has received confirmation from the operator that a total depth of 498m was reached on the Elkton Erosional edge vertical well on October 13, 2013. The well is currently being logged to provide the Company with the most accurate analysis available.
Core samples have been successfully taken from the Elkton erosional edge well DH 9-4-92-23-W5 and are presently being transported to AGAT laboratories for core sample analysis.
The operator was pleased to report that the core samples extracted from the horizontal target zone was oozing oil from out of the core at surface.
As mentioned in the POD (Plan Of Development), the lower portion of the vertical Elkton well will now be cemented; upon concluding this stage the horizontal leg of the production well will be kicked off at the 160m level.

A Joint Statement from Chancellor Carol L. Folt, UNC-Chapel Hill; Chancellor Philip Dubois, UNC Charlotte; Dean William Roper, UNC School of Medicine; and CEO Michael C. Tarwater, Carolinas HealthCare System
For many decades, many North Carolinians have dreamed about having a medical school in Charlotte. Indeed, the four-year UNC School of Medicine, which opened in Chapel Hill in 1952, might have been located in Charlotte instead. And many times it has been said that "Charlotte is the largest city in America without a medical school."
Today Charlotte has a medical school – the UNC School of Medicine. This came about under the leadership of then-UNC President Erskine Bowles, the UNC Board of Governors, and with the support of UNC Charlotte, Carolinas HealthCare System and others. In 2008, they authorized the creation of regional campuses of the UNC School of Medicine in Charlotte and Asheville. These campuses, serving third- and fourth-year students, opened in 2009 and were accredited in 2010.
The UNC School of Medicine in Charlotte is a major part of academic medicine in North Carolina. At least two dozen third- and fourth-year medical students from each class receive their clinical education in Charlotte. The branch campus in Charlotte has its own parallel curriculum. This innovative design allows Charlotte medical students to have a longitudinal learning experience across many months in the same place, with the same faculty and the same patients.
Together with the important graduate medical education program at Carolinas Medical Center, which trains hundreds of resident physicians each year, and the growing research focus of UNC Charlotte and the Carolinas HealthCare System, the state of academic medicine is strong in Charlotte right now.
Some Charlotteans have recently said again that Charlotte needs an independent medical school of its own. We strongly believe that the current UNC School of Medicine in Charlotte is the best and most cost- effective way forward. Whatever steps are taken in medical education in Charlotte in the future should build on this strong foundation.
With increased funding there is room to grow the UNC School of Medicine in Charlotte and Asheville. The Board of Governors already approved an increase in class size from the current 180 students to 230 students admitted to UNC School of Medicine per year; that increase was not implemented because of constrained funding. Many more students can be educated at the UNC School of Medicine in Charlotte should the State of North Carolina provide the funding to do so.
In the long term and dependent upon significant amounts of state funding, we can envision a time when UNC Charlotte would become increasingly involved in providing certain parts of the UNC School of Medicine medical education curriculum for first- and second-year medical students. That kind of investment by the State of North Carolina would certainly produce additional benefits for Charlotte as UNC Charlotte continues its evolution as a major research institution.
We hope all will join with us to make the current UNC School of Medicine in Charlotte even more successful.
Thanks for your help and support.

The Intricacies Of Installing A Residential CCTV System Properly
Keeping your home secure is something that concerns all of us. One option is to install a residential CCTV system. Not only do these deter crime, they can provide evidence if something criminal does happen. Setting up a system in terms of how many cameras are needed and at which angle they have to be placed can be quite complicated….

ASUS ZenPad tablets flaunt "customizable" covers
ASUS is once again getting into the Android tablet scene, but this time it's bringing something different to the table. While many OEMs put out official accessories like covers and cases, ASUS is taking things a small step further. Touting these tablets as the first tablet with interchangeable and customizable covers, ASUS' accessories not only add style to the new ZenPad tablets, they actually also add functionality, like one that has a built-in battery pack and another that adds 5.1-channel surround sound to the tablet.

Maryland has had three-star receiver Armani Chatman's (Bayside/Virginia Beach, Va.) eye for awhile now, but the April 12 commitment of Virginia Beach quarterback Tyler DeSue (Bishop Sullivan) only improves UMD's chances with the 6-foot-1, 180-pounder. Chatman paid close attention to the nearby dual-threat gunslinger's status, and immediately took note when DeSue chose UMD.
"Seeing DeSue commit to Maryland was huge," said Chatman, who holds offers from Va Tech, Auburn, NC State, Rutgers, Temple and a couple others. "That's a big-time QB they got right there. His commitment meant a whole lot to the guys down here in the 757, and also the nation."
Chatman, who is considering playing defensive back in college (he said he's "undecided") received his first look at College Park, Md., April 8. He took in a spring practice, allowing him to see position coach and area recruiter Chris Beatty in action. He also honed in on the receivers, quarterbacks and offensive coordinator Walt Bell's offense in general.
"The highlight of my visit was definitely the practice -- just seeing how intense it was," Chatman said. "They were going at it all day and the players were just competing hard. I think Coach Beatty is a great coach and really has a great reputation for developing guys. We have a great relationship, and it was good to catch up with him again. We talk all the time."
Chatman also had an opportunity to take in the campus, see the coming facility upgrades and sit in on meetings. He spoke to most of the staff too, including head coach D.J. Durkin, Bell, Beatty and more.
"Maryland is surrounded by great coaches. It's a great place with great people," said Chatman, who acknowledged coaches from the Terps, Va Tech and Temple were making a potent push. "You can tell they're really into it, they treat their players the right way, and they care about you. I enjoyed being around them all.
"And Maryland just looks like an amazing place. All they're building there, and the campus, it looks really nice."
Now that he's seen UMD once, Chatman said he'd like to return later during the offseason. He'll also be back at Va Tech, which is a primary contender, and take his first look at Temple. He'd previously trekked through WVU, Ohio State, Rutgers, Penn State and UVA, in addition to Tech and Maryland.
Chatman doesn't have any public leaders at this time, nor is he sure exactly when he wants to commit. More than likely, he'll be choosing a school sometime this summer, although if his recruitment expands during the upcoming evaluation period it could change Chatman's situation.

West Liberty Kentucky
March 3, 2012 by staff
West Liberty Kentucky, A powerful storm that hit about 6 p.m. Friday smashed the core of this Morgan County city into rubble.
There was no confirmation of deaths, but at least six people were injured, and emergency responders and citizens hastily banded together to form search parties.
Morgan County Deputy Sheriff Kenny Dulin said dozens of people were missing.
If any major building escaped damage downtown, it wasn't readily apparent in the darkness or the flashing lights of police cruisers, ambulances and fire trucks,
"It flattened everything," said Faye Isaac, 42. "The whole town is gone."
Isaac's right cheek was bandaged where she had been cut after part of the Dollar Store roof fell on top of her.
The roof was taken off Commercial Bank and off City Hall across Main Street. The steeple of a Methodist church sat pointy-side up on the ground in front of the church.
Heavy equipment moved splintered wood, bricks and other debris out of the streets,
Residents said they saw a large funnel cloud descend on the city, about 80 miles east of Lexington. Morgan County has a population of 13,923, according to the 2010 U.S. Census.
Patsy and Zeke Hensley took shelter in the basement of their house when they saw the twister approaching.
"I said, 'That's not thunder. That's a tornado,'" Patsy Hensley said. "It was just a big brown column."

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Quiet location yet close to town. Rooms were very large and clean. Big bathroom that had been updated. The breakfast was a little insufficient. Coffee, donuts, and juice were advertised but by the time we got there only 2 donuts remained. They were prepackaged and not fresh which is what I was expecting. The lobby is very small so it was difficult to get to the juice and donuts which were behind the entry door.
Hotel refused to refund me after having to switch hotels. Took third party booking company a week to win me the refund.
Lovation is nice because it was far enough, but close enough to freeway. Nicely sized room. 2 sinks were nice. The grounds & the room smelled of smoke despite it being a non-smoking room. When I opened the door, I was overcome by the smell of chemical cleaners. I had to open the window to air out & it was cold outside.
Location. We wanted to get out of the Boston area. Price was appropriate. Bed was extremely uncomfortable. Terrible night's sleep.
the staff was so nice & did everything they could to try and make us feel comfortable. kayak sucks! will never book through them again! they messed up our reservation and we were stuck without a place to stay for a good 5 hours waiting in the motel lobby on the phone with hotels.com trying to get them to fix their mistake.
The room was modern, very clean, and the bed and shower were good. The room was supposed to be non-smoking but wasn't. My eyes watered, and the smell was overpowering. There wasn't decaffeinated coffee as an option in the morning.
Arrived midnight with small kids. Told hotel/ Internet had overbooked!!! All places around sold out. Ended up sleeping in car at rest stop. Never again will we use this site!!! Nothing
The only good part was a location They clams it was renovated .... Non sense never put a dine in to it. No good

|Solis R8000
|Passionate policewoman from the future
|Power Instinct
|First Appearance
|Groove On Fight (April 1997)
|High Voltage
Solis R8000 is a downloadable character in B.O.K.O and was created by Exotoro (t∣b∣c). She originates from the Power Instinct series, specifically Groove On Fight.
Solis is a young police woman from the year 2115. She was assigned to investigate the activities of a powerful organization of which is suspected of changing some events in the past for its convenience; in her investigation she discovered that this organization was responsible for the disappearance of some important families and financial groups 100 years ago; among these the Goketsuji Clan.
Solis remembered that the Goketsuji was related to her family, so by a DNA test, she confirmed that she is a Goketsuji descendant. Determined to protect her family, Solis travels to the past (the year 2015) to prevent the destruction of her clan. During the travel, her time machine had a problem and led her to a different point in time from her original destination. When she came out of the machine, she found herself in a laboratory. There, she met a mysterious scientist named Max Ax Dax. Solis asked to Max if he could help her to repair her machine.
Max was excited with the idea of working with such unknown and advanced technology, and decided to help her. While her machine was being repaired, Solis stayed in in the laboratory, trying to get in contact with the Goketsuji clan. One day, she finally managed to talk with Oume and Otane and told them that she was a Goketsuji descendant and that she needed to see them.
The twins responded that if she wanted to talk with them, she should participate in the Goketsuji tournament. One day later the invitation for the tournament arrived at the laboratory, along with the new rules that specified that each participant should participate with a partner.
With no other choice, Solis impulsively screamed: "Max! Do you know about the Goketsuji Tournament? Would you pair up with me?"

Knitting Factory
Physically, there's not much to the band Pluramon: for the most part, it lives inside the hard drive of the young German electronic composer Marcus Schmickler. But to take Pluramon on the road for a short tour these past few weeks, Mr. Schmickler also brought his guitar and a drummer, Jochen Rueckert.
If Pluramon is more an idea than a band, the idea is this: it combines rock with the new abstract, beatless, texture-mad electronic art made and performed on Macintosh G3's that you could call laptop music. You'd think such a mixture would have been discovered and done to death; the audience for the new electronic music is the same audience, with the same ears, that loved alternative rock 10 years ago. But Mr. Schmickler got there early, in the mid-90's, and the two worlds basically stay apart; that was demonstrable even last Tuesday night, when the big crowd that had come to see Kid 606 -- a more purely electronic act -- dissipated a few minutes into Pluramon's instrumental set.
Mr. Schmickler uses both halves of his combination fairly equally. He peered into his laptop and produced a flow of hailstorm-pinging carillon bell sounds. He worked over slow, repeating riffs and chords on his guitar, and Mr. Rueckert played drum accompaniment, guided by a click-track in his headphones.
It began a little dryly -- there was no improvisation going on here -- but Mr. Schmickler is after a particular rhythmic sound that after a while loosens up whatever it's accompanying. BEN RATLIFFContinue reading the main story

Nikkei Ends at 11-week High; Buoyed by U.S. Results
(Reuters) Japan's Nikkei average closed at its highest level in more than two months on Friday, with investor sentiment riding high on encouraging results from U.S. banks, while near-term concerns over Europe eased after solid demand at debt auctions.
Financial shares advanced in Tokyo after upbeat earnings from Morgan Stanley (MS.N) and Bank of America (BAC.N) further confirmed the strength of the U.S. economic recovery despite headwinds from Europe's sovereign debt crisis.
Japan's top brokerage Nomura Holdings (8604.T) jumped 5.2 percent and rival Daiwa Securities Group (8601.T) added 6.2 percent.
The three major Japanese banks were among the heaviest traded shares by turnover on the main board, with Mizuho Financial Group (8411.T), Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (8306.T) and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (8316.T) up between 4.3 and 5.5 percent.
Japan's financial shares are mirroring the broader market, as investors who had previously consolidated their positions in defensives are buying back shares that were heavily sold off last year, said Ryota Sakagami, chief strategist of equity research at SMBC Nikko Securities.
The Nikkei .N225 added 1.5 percent to 8,766.36 and gained 3.1 percent for the week. The next major targets for the benchmark are its 200-day moving average near 9,115 and its high from last October's rally of 9,152.39.
The Nikkei has jumped through major resistance levels, first the 25-day (moving average), the 75-day and the upper limit of the Ichimoku cloud, pushed up by blue chips ... There is a feeling that it may be able to test the 9,000 level sometime soon, said Toshiyuki Kanayama, senior market analyst at Monex Inc.
The broader Topix .TOPX rose 2 percent to 755.47, as advancing shares outnumbered declining issues 1,281 to 291.
Despite Standard & Poor's massive downgrades last week, Europe has so far passed key tests of investor confidence for euro zone bonds.
Spain on Thursday sold more longer-term debt than hoped, while France raised funds at lower yields in its first auction since S&P stripped the country of its prized triple-A status.
Debt auctions in Europe have been cleared without drama thanks to the European Central Bank's three-year operation and I do think that anxiety about Europe is subsiding somewhat as it clears each hurdle, said Hideyuki Ishiguro, assistant manager of investment strategy at Okasan Securities.
If you look at gains of the core 30 and the increasing trading volume, you can see that foreign investors are returning to the market and there is new money coming in, he said.
Trading volume hit a six-week high on Friday, with 2.6 billion shares changing hands on the main board, up from 2.13 billion shares on Thursday.
Battered real estate firms made a comeback on Friday, with the subindex for the sector .IRLTY.T jumping 5.7 percent to become the top percentage gainer on the main board.
Developers Mitsui Fudosan Co (8801.T) surged 7 percent and Mitsubishi Estate Co (8802.T) gained 6.3 percent.
Real estate and other blue chips are strong today as market sentiment in Japan is improving and investors are switching from small-cap stocks to major names that were oversold recently, said Monex Inc's Kanayama.
Deutsche Bank said on Friday that Japan's condominium market continued to recover after last year's tsunami and earthquake with existing condo sales rising 4.9 percent in October, their first increase in eight months.
Real estate sector stocks have performed poorly as investors seem to have ignored the steady recovery in the real estate market since 2009. We think any further decline in sector share prices to be limited and expect real estate stocks to start rising as investors confirm current fundamentals, they said.
While they picked up blue chips, investors dumped small-cap stocks of reconstruction-related companies on profit-taking.
Japan Bridge (5912.T), the biggest percentage loser on the main board, dropped 18.3 percent after gaining nearly 253 percent so far this month after a report that the Metropolitan Expressway Company planned to spend 1 trillion yen ($13 billion) to upgrade its infrastructure.
Tobishima Corp (1805.T), a general contractor involved in large-scale civil engineering projects, slid 11.4 percent after three straight sessions of double-digit gains.

By Nate Davis, USA TODAY
BETHLEHEM, Pa. The starting quarterback in Philadelphia is new. The expectations for the Eagles? Same as always — lofty.
So Kevin Kolb does not expect to be graded on a curve or enjoy a season-long grace period even as he replaces Donovan McNabb, who engineered eight playoff runs — none ending with a Super Bowl victory — after serving as the Eagles' starting quarterback for the past decade.
"I think that everybody understands that there's a lot of talent here," says Kolb.
"And we're pushing ourselves harder than we've ever been pushed. You combine those two things — the sky's the limit."
McNabb's limits famously frustrated Philadelphia fans, many of them never embracing the loquacious six-time Pro Bowler who seemed to perennially get the team to the threshold of a championship but couldn't break a title drought that now spans 50 years.
That task now falls to Kolb, who doesn't seem to be having any problem winning over the offensive huddle.
"Kevin reminds me of exactly what he is, that quarterback from Texas that you know is like, 'Let's kick some butt, take some names and have a good time doing it,' " says receiver Hank Baskett. "It's good."
PHOTOS: Eagles training camp
A second-round pick out of the University of Houston in 2007, Kolb spent the past three seasons marinating in the offense, observing McNabb and waiting for his opportunity.
"It's been great, this is the situation I've been wanting to be in for a long time," says Kolb. "It feels good to finally be out here and be the starter."
He's earned praise from the coaching staff for his accuracy, a valued trait for a team that runs the precision-based West Coast offense, and head coach Andy Reid has been impressed by Kolb's ability to apply lessons learned and avoid making the same mistakes more than once.
"I think he showed that he's very capable of doing this thing," says Reid.
"His command and the intangible part of it — he maintained what we thought he would do and what he did last year."
Last year, Kolb started twice for an injured McNabb, becoming the first player in league history to pass for at least 300 yards in his first two NFL starts.
Now he's surrounded by the young playmakers McNabb didn't always have at his disposal for much of his career. Wideouts DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin, tailback LeSean McCoy and tight end Brent Celek are all starters with scads of ability, and none has more than three seasons of NFL wear and tear on his body.
"It looks like there's a lot of potential," says Kolb. "We want to reach (our potential) and hopefully go win the Super Bowl."
The scene: The Eagles completed their 14th consecutive training camp at Lehigh University this week. The team practices at the school's Goodman Campus, which contains the fields and athletic facilities located a few miles away from the picturesque main campus, which is tucked into the rolling hills of eastern Pennsylvania about an hour's drive from Philadelphia.
Reason to believe: Could Kolb be a more natural fit in Reid's offense than McNabb was? Decision-making and precise passes are his hallmarks and hitting his speedy receivers in stride could lead to game-breaking run-after-catch opportunities. McNabb's career completion percentage is less than 60%, but he did have a stronger arm than Kolb and was excellent at avoiding turnovers. If Kolb is as good as advertised and a solid defense — bolstered by the return of middle linebacker Stewart Bradley and several (the Eagles hope) impact rookies — rebounds after its late-season collapse in 2009, the Eagles should again be playoff participants.
Trouble spot: If Kolb is something closer to the wide-eyed, ineffective player who struggled (10-for-23, 73 yards, two INTs) in place of a benched McNabb in 2008, all bets are off and all the skill players in the world won't help. Philadelphia also opted to go young at running back, saying goodbye to declining, injury-prone Brian Westbrook to make McCoy, a second-year player, the likely bell cow. He brings fresh legs to the running game, but not a proven resume to take defensive focus off Kolb.
Who's new: Philadelphia drafted 13 players, nine of them for the defense. The Eagles pried hard-running restricted free agent Mike Bell from the New Orleans Saints to complement McCoy. Darryl Tapp was acquired from the Seattle Seahawks to bolster the defensive line. Ernie Sims was acquired in a three-way trade with the Detroit Lions and could be a playmaker as the weakside linebacker. Free-agent signee Marlin Jackson was going to get a shot to win the free safety job, but an Achilles' injury in June landed him on injured reserve.
Who's gone: McNabb and Westbrook weren't the only vets purged. Offensive lineman Shawn Andrews, receivers Reggie Brown and Kevin Curtis, cornerback Sheldon Brown, linebackers Chris Gocong and Jeremiah Trotter and defensive end Darren Howard were all former mainstays who have moved on as the Eagles, who tend to part with players a year too early rather than a year too late, continue their youth movement.
Positional battle: Moise Fokou ended 2009 as the starting strongside linebacker, but Akeem Jordan seems to have claimed the post now. With Bradley back after missing all of 2009 with a knee injury and Sims now on board, this unit has been completely revamped.
On the mend: Philadelphia's back-to-back meltdowns against the Dallas Cowboys in their season-ending spiral last year coincided with the loss of center Jamaal Jackson, who suffered a knee injury in Week 16. Reid has tried to temper expectations surrounding Jackson's return, but he was recently activated from the physically-unable-to-perform list, seems to be ahead of schedule and might have a shot at starting in Week 1. Assuming he's a reasonable facsimile of his former self, Jackson should solidify the line and be a major asset in Kolb's protection and development.
Rookie watch: Drafted in the second round, defensive back Nate Allen is ticketed for the starting lineup as the latest player charged with filling Brian Dawkins' lingering void at free safety. Physically, Allen seems up to the task; on the mental side, he's already wise enough to know he'll never replace "B-Dawk" in the hearts and minds of the fans and doesn't seem like he'll fall prey to unrealistic expectations. Brandon Graham, a defensive end taken in Round 1, should immediately find a role on an always deep four-man front and could supplant Juqua Parker as a starter once he acclimates to the pro game.

Karoon Gas Australia Ltd's Echidna-1 well, has intersected an oil bearing section in Paleocene sands, as shown on mudlog and Logging While Drilling data. The mudlog shows elevated gas readings and oil florescence in sandstones. Wireline logging will now be conducted to ascertain the extent of the gross and net columns.
As at 1230 hrs AEST on 12 April 2015, the Echidna-1 exploration well had reached the planned total depth of 2,379 mRT. Since spudding on 31 March, the well was drilled to its total depth.
The presence of a Paleocene oil column needs to be confirmed with data from the planned wireline logging program to be undertaken immediately. The wireline program will involve taking pressure data, reservoir fluids sampling and petrophysical logging.
Additional intervals of elevated mudlog gas and oil florescence have been observed in the Maastrichtian section and will be further evaluated during the wireline logging program.
Karoon holds a 65% interest in and is operator of the jointly held block S-M-1102, Santos Basin, Brazil. Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. holds the remaining 35% working interest.

The present application is related to Ser. No. 09/433,653 filed Nov. 3, 1999 entitled, "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING MULTI-CLOCK PROPAGATION IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM HAVING POINT-TO-POINT HALF DUPLEX INTERCONNECT", which application is assigned to the assignee of the present application.
The present invention relates generally to the field of computer systems; more particularly, to methods and apparatus for efficient transfer of data and information between devices or agents coupled to a bus, data link, or other type of input/output (I/O) interconnect.
Manufacturers of semiconductor devices face constant pressure to reduce the number of interconnects, especially in chipset platforms comprising multiple semiconductor devices interconnected on a common printed circuit board. Since the number of pins is a major factor in the costs of inter-chip connections, it is desirable to make such interconnects fast and narrow. This has led to the development of devices having fewer pins, and pins that can transmit signals very quickly.
One proposal addressing this problem is to utilize a half-duplex bus with distributed arbitration for I/O interconnects designed to connect I/O hubs and peripheral component interface (PCI) bridges (e.g., south bridges) to the memory hub controller (e.g., north bridge). It is well known that in a full-duplex bus, traffic can flow bi-directionally, simultaneously across separate sets of wires. A half-duplex bus is one in which there is a single lane of traffic (i.e., one set of wires) that is shared according to some sort of time-multiplexing scheme. A useful analogy is to think of a half-duplex bus as a single-lane bridge spanning across a river or chasm. Flagman positioned at each end signal to the other side to request ownership or use of the bridge in order to allow traffic to traverse in one direction or the other.
A common method to achieve synchronization on a half-duplex bus is via a global clock, also frequently referred to as a common or base clock. Each agent coupled to the bus usually has its own associated request signal line (REQ) used to gain ownership of the bus. Since traffic flow over the bus is always unidirectional, only one side of the bus has ownership of the bus at any given time. Each agent executes the same arbitration algorithm; asserting its request signal to convey its request to a remote agent; sampling the request signal driven by the remote agent; and then choosing which agent to grant ownership to based on the local and remote requests. Thus, in a half-duplex bus link, both ends contend for the shared bus resource.
In a typical I/O environment in which a half duplex a bus is deployed, one end of the link usually connects to a memory controller. The vast majority of traffic comprises memory reads and writes generated by devices connected to the I/O bridge and targeting the memory coupled to the memory controller. In such a system, three types of requests normally contend for ownership of the link: (1) write transfers (address plus data) upstream to the memory controller; (2) read requests (address plus size); and (3) read returns (address plus data) downstream to the requesting agent.
Data writes and read returns are very similar in that the both have a long latency and both are unidirectional "fire and forget" transfers. But a memory read operation is quite different. A successful memory read operation requires a complete round-trip over the bridge; that is, a read request must first travel upstream to the memory controller, where the request is serviced, followed by a return of the read data downstream back to the requesting agent.
The rate of read returns is often limited by the rate at which read requests travel upstream. Under heavy loading conditions, particularly involving many downstream read returns, there can be a long delay before traffic flow across the link is turned around to permit an upstream read request. If the latency period is too long, the memory controller will run out of pending requests, and thus experience a momentary break in the pipelining of read returns. Failure to allow a read request upstream in a timely manner can therefore result in a "bubble" in the read return traffic, with a corresponding reduction in read bandwidth.
Accordingly, what is needed is a method or protocol that permits more efficient utilization of the half-duplex bus resource.
The present invention will be understood more fully from the detailed description which follows and from the accompanying drawings, which however, should not be taken to limit the invention to the specific embodiments shown, but are for explanation and understanding only.
An system and method for improved half-duplex bus performance under heavy loading is described. In the following description, numerous details are set forth, such as specific system configurations, algorithms, signal lines, etc., in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. It will be clear, however, to one skilled in the art, that these specific details may not be needed to practice the present invention.
With reference to
Both agents are also coupled via associated request signal lines 15 and 16. Both agents monitor these request signal lines to determine if a request signal from a remote agent has arrived. The request signals are used by the agents to gain ownership of the bus for transmission of data and information. In
Operations on bus 14 are synchronized by a common or global clock signal, i.e., GCLK, (not shown).
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a preempt signal line 17 is connected between the arbitration units 12 and 18 of the two agents. (It is appreciated that the "#" symbol denotes that the preempt signal is asserted when the voltage potential or logic level of the line is low.) Preempt signal 17 is utilized in the present invention as a way for the downstream end to convey the presence of a pending read request to the upstream end. As will be described in more detail shortly, preempt signal 17 provides a way for the distributed arbiters of the upstream and downstream ends to synchronize and dynamically preempt a read return.
Under heavy loading conditions the arbiters operate according to a protocol that improves efficiency by minimizing bus turnarounds, while at the same time ensuring that enough read requests get transferred upstream in a timely manner to avoid read starvation and the resultant loss in read bandwidth. The preempt signal 17 implements the idea of a "time-slice", wherein bus traffic from the upstream to the downstream end of the bus bridge is occasionally interrupted to allow read requests to cross the bridge, thereby ensuring that the bus does not go idle due to read starvation.
The present invention is not limited to a time-slice of a particular duration. In other words, the time-slice can vary depending on system considerations. For example, the preempt signal may be used to implement a time-slice which immediately interrupts traffic flow over the bus bridge to allow a read request across the bus in the opposite direction as soon as it appears at one end of the bus. This example represents an extreme case, since granting read requests in this manner would produce a large number of bus turnarounds, i.e., reversing the direction of bus traffic, which would result in an inefficient utilization of the bus resource. At the other extreme, is the case where the time slice is intentionally made very long. But the problem with making the time slice too long is that it leads to the starvation problem previously discussed. That is, if the time slice is very large, there is a risk that the bridge will become idle due to not enough pending read requests being serviced by the memory controller for downstream return across the bus bridge. Therefore, the present invention achieves optimized utilization of the bus by a preemption algorithm that balances the foregoing concerns for a particular system application.
Note that if only memory writes were transmitted from both directions it would make sense to make the time-slice the very long since writes are not sensitive to latency and they are not round-trip transactions.
The preempt signal provides the arbiter associated with the agent at one end of the bus with additional information regarding the request type pending at the opposite end. In the example of
A wired-OR signal connection, or its equivalent, is one possible way of identifying a pending request at the downstream end as a read request for which preemption is to occur. To determine if the starvation may occur, the upstream end examines the queue of read requests sent from the downstream end that is awaiting service by the memory controller. If the queue is below the predetermined threshold, e.g., empty, then read starvation may occur. In response, the upstream arbiter can elect a suitable point at which to preempt the read return, e.g., at a cacheline boundary. To synchronize the downstream arbiter to the same preemption point, the upstream arbiter removes (i.e., de-asserts) its request signal. Upon observing the upstream end's request signal being de-asserted, the downstream arbiter considers the read return terminated and agrees to turnaround the direction of traffic flow on the bus.
It should be understood that the preemption mechanism may comprise more than a single wire or signal. The specific way that the preemption mechanism is implemented is not essential to the present invention. Rather, the important concept involves the use of the preemption mechanism to signal the type of request that is pending at the opposite end of the link for the purpose of solving the problem of read starvation.
To recapitulate, the preempt signal is asserted when there are a certain number of read requests queued up at one end of the bus bridge (assuming that the agent at that end does not presently have ownership of the bus). The preempt signal is asserted to notify the remote agent at the other end of the bus (via the preemption algorithm) that there are a number of read requests pending to be sent across the bus in the opposite direction. The upstream agent receiving the preempt signal examines the traffic loading at its end in determine whether it is appropriate to relinquish ownership of the bus to allow a number of read requests across the bus in the opposite direction to avoid read starvation. After a number of read requests have been sent across the bus in the upstream direction, the upstream agent may then request ownership of the bus to once again send read return data downstream to the remote agent.
Note that the control algorithm may vary; for example, the downstream agent can make its own decision about what type of traffic to send over the bus after it asserts the preemption signal. Likewise, the downstream agent may decide to only allow a certain number of read requests to cross the bridge following the preemption request. For example, the downstream end may try to make the time-slice long by sending over all of its pending read requests along with several writes in order to amortize the turnaround penalty. It is appreciated that this is simply an implementation detail that may be parameterized utilizing an ordinary time-slice counter. For instance a certain number of clocks may be loaded into the counter to set the duration of time-slice.
Agent 11 samples REQup and PREEMPT# at the rising edge of CLK2. In response, arbiter 12 de-asserts REQdn and terminates read return traffic flow to initiate a turnaround in the direction of traffic flow on bus 14. The turnaround occurs between clock edges CLK3 and CLK4. As explained earlier, the particular preemption algorithm being implemented by arbiter 12 determines the exact time when the upstream end relinquishes ownership of the bus.
At clock edge CLK4 the downstream end (agent 19) gains ownership of the bus and begins transmitting its read request to the upstream end over the PD signal lines. Arbiter 18 grants ownership of the bus back to the upstream end between clock edges CLK6 and CLK7 by de-asserting REQup, whereupon the upstream end (agent 11) once again begins sending read return data across bus 14 commencing at CLK6. (Note that the downstream agent sampled REQdn high at the rising edge of CLK4.)
It should be appreciated that the preempt signal could be implemented in any one of a number of different ways. In one embodiment, the preempt signal could be implemented as a single wire that is always owned by the downstream agent. In another embodiment, the signal may be implemented to allow for two-way preemption; e.g., where agent "A" may preempt agent "B" and vice-versa. The illustrations of
