The Carolina Panthers' owner Jerry Richardson and Head Coach Ron Rivera will meet on Saturday to discuss plans for the future, reports Gregg Rosenthal of nfl.com Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer reports that the Carolina Panthers "have not lost ground to the seven teams that let their coaches go Monday." It is unclear whether Rivera's job is in jeopardy, but the Panthers are going to take a long, hard look at where he stands with the team. If Rivera is let go, Carolina could look at Oregon Coach Chip Kelly to take over the team in 2013. If I was the Panthers' owner, I would cut ties with Rivera, and Pursue Chip Kelly. Chip Kelly's offensive scheme would fit perfectly with the talent that this organization has. Cam Newton is an NFL QB who plays with a college style, so he and Kelly would be a perfect match. In two seasons with the Panthers, Rivera has a 13-19 record; he can thank his superstar QB Cam Newton for all 13 of those wins. Without 'SuperCam', the Panthers would probably have only seven or eight wins in the last two seasons.

State Comptroller announces partnership with animal adoption centers
Online Staff Report
Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka joined dozens of adoptable dogs Aug. 9 in Rockford, Milan and Peoria to announce Comptroller's Critters, a program that brings potential pet owners together with Illinois shelters to provide loving homes for animals — and ultimately save on overpopulation costs.
Speaking in advance of a Critters adoption day at the Illinois State Fair, Topinka noted that more than 70 shelters have registered for Critters, which allows organizations to post pictures and information about adoptable pets on the Comptroller's website, providing a one-stop-shop for families looking for a new animal. When an animal is adopted, it is awarded a certificate for becoming a "Comptroller's Critter."
Topinka made the announcements at Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary in Rockford, Quad City Animal Welfare Center in Milan and the Peoria Animal Welfare Shelter in Peoria. Each of the shelters is participating in the Critters program. For more about the program, visit www.ioc.state.il.us.
"Comptroller's Critters puts pets in loving homes by using our website, information from shelters, and other resources already in existence," said Topinka, who launched a similar Treasured Pets program during her three terms as Illinois State Treasurer. "In fact, by bringing adoptable dogs and cats together with families that want them, we will save in the long run on overpopulation and animal control costs."
Thousands of dogs and cats are euthanized every year in Illinois because loving homes cannot be found. In fact, more than 10,000 were euthanized last year in the city of Chicago alone. At the same time, abandoned pets increase the cost to taxpayers in the form of local animal control efforts. Comptroller's Critters aims to save on those costs by matching pets with homes. The program is available to all adoption organizations in the state.
Topinka has a long history of pet adoption herself, most recently welcoming 11-year-old Beagle, Bella; 7-year-old Scottie, Jack; and Nora, a 3-year-old Scottie, into her home. Aug. 9, she stressed the importance of adoption, and thanked the local shelters for their participation in the Critters program.
"These adoption centers give animals a chance that they would not have otherwise," she said. "This is a low-cost way to draw attention to their efforts, and I am excited about what is possible."

Each phase of the power input circuit in a three-phase electrical system is coupled to a sensor by means of a pick-off transformer. Each sensor has an overcurrent detection circuit comprising a slow response filter, an operational amplifier, and a comparator and an undercurrent detection circuit comprising a fast response filter, an operational amplifier and a comparator. A fourth overcurrent detecting sensor is coupled to a selected system feed circuit. A C/MOS logic circuit responds with a "high" state output when any number of sensor network outputs go to the high state. The output of the C/MOS logic circuit is filtered by a slow response filter and is used to trigger an actuating circuit that operates a standby breaker in the system input circuit.
1. A protection circuit for a three-phase electrical system comprising
a pick-off transformer connected to each phase of the system power input circuit,
an overcurrent/undercurrent sensing means connected to the secondary of each said pick-off transformer, each said overcurrent-undercurrent sensing means comprising a rectifier bridge, a slow response filter connected to the output of said rectifier bridge, a first operational amplifier connected to receive the output of said slow response filter, a first comparator means connected to the output of said first operational amplifier, a fast response filter connected to the output of said rectifier bridge, a second operational amplifier connected to receive the output of said fast response filter, and a second comparator means connected to the output of said second operational amplifier,
a pick-off transformer connected to a selected system feed line,
an overcurrent sensing means connected to the secondary of the feed line pick-off transformer, said overcurrent sensing means comprising a rectifier bridge, a slow response filter connected to the output of said rectifier bridge, an operational amplifier connected to receive the output of said slow response filter, and a comparator means connected to the output of said operational amplifier,
a logic circuit having an output responsive to the outputs of said overcurrent/undercurrent and overcurrent sensing means,
a standby breaker connected in said system power input circuit,
actuator means responsive to the output of said logic circuit for operating said standby breaker and,
a slow response filter connected to filter the output of said logic circuit.
2. A protection circuit for a three-phase electrical system as defined in claim 1 wherein said logic circuit comprises a C/MOS circuit.
3. A protection circuit for a three-phase electrical system as defined in claim 1 wherein said actuator means comprises a C/MOS latch circuit, a buffer amplifier and a relay means, said buffer amplifier being connected to drive said relay means in response to the output of said latch circuit and said relay means being connected to operate said standby breaker.
The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalty thereon.
This invention relates to the monitoring and control of electrical circuits and in particular to means for controlling the three-phase power supply to systems requiring overload and undercurrent protection.
Many electrical systems require the immediate detection of electrical faults and the subsequent disconnecting of system power until such faults are corrected. For instance, airborne radar systems must be protected in this manner in order to avoid damage to radar equipment, smoke in the aircraft cockpit, and other damage of the type that frequently results from power distribution malfunctions. Protection circuits used in airborne and other applications should be lightweight and reliable. It is also desirable that they have adjustable threshold values and that they be easily resettable. In addition, many applications require that the protection circuit include means for preventing false triggering resulting from system noise and short duration faults. Conventional state-of-the-art protection devices in general fail to meet all of the above criteria. The present invention is directed toward providing a protective circuit that will meet all of the above and other objectives.
The invention is a circuit that is capable of controlling three-phase power to a system requiring such power distribution. It does this by monitoring current in each of the three-phase power lines and also in one additional circuit selected as required. Each phase of the power distribution contains an overcurrent/undercurrent network capable of being separately set at upper and lower current trip values. A positive voltage will be detected at the output of the network in the event that the monitored current falls outside this preset window range. An additional overcurrent network is provided that is capable of monitoring any additional point of concern and contains only an uppercurrent threshold setting which responds with a positive output signal when the preset uppercurrent setting is exceeded. The outputs of the sensing networks are fed to a logic network which drives latching circuitry used to operate a solid state relay. The relay contacts open when any number of the sensing network outputs are in the positive voltage state, thus removing a sustaining voltage to a standby breaker which controls a three-phase input power.
It is a principal object of the invention to provide a new and improved protection circuit for three-phase electrical systems.
It is another object of the invention to provide a protection circuit that is lightweight and reliable and suitable for airborne applications.
It is another object of the invention to provide a protection circuit that is not subject to false triggering from system noise and short duration faults and that the time duration before system shutdown is adjustable.
It is another object of the invention to provide a protection circuit having adjustable threshold values.
These, together with other objects, features and advantages of the invention, will become more readily apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the illustrative embodiment in the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one presently preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the overcurrent sensor of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of one overcurrent/undercurrent sensor of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the logic and latch circuits of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the output relay and standby breaker of FIG. 1.
The protection circuit of the invention as illustrated by the block diagram of FIG. 1 is capable of monitoring an overcurrent or undercurrent on each of the three-phase input power lines as well as monitoring an overcurrent in a selected feed line. The currents to be monitored flow through the primary of a current sensing pick-off transformer which produces a secondary voltage proportional to the primary current. This voltage is fed to operational amplifier inputs via two separate filtering networks in the overcurrent/undercurrent sensor. A slow response filter precedes the overcurrent operational amplifier assembly while a fast response filter precedes the missing phase (undercurrent) network. The outputs of both the overcurrent and missing phase operational amplifiers are each fed to their respective comparator circuits. Under proper conditions of overcurrent and/or missing phase, both or each of the comparators will produce an output signal which will be sensed by the C/MOS logic network. The output of the logic will be in the "high" state whenever an overcurrent or missing phase (or a combination of these conditions) is sensed by the operational amplifier and comparator networks. This signal is then sensed by a C/MOS latching circuit which maintains a "high" output once it is triggered until a reset command is applied. A buffer amplifier is then stimulated which, in turn, drives an output relay. The relay disconnects the three-phase power to the system being protected via a standby breaker.
Referring now to FIGS. 2-5, a detailed analysis of circuit operation will be described using φA as being representative of φB, φC, and the selected overcurrent circuits, in addition to φB and φC undercurrents. The primary of the current sensing pick-off transformer T1 of FIG. 3 monitors φA and develops an AC secondary voltage proportional to the primary current. This voltage is fed to bridge rectifier assembly B1 which is then observed by two (fast and slow response) filtering networks. The output of the slow response filter assembly is fed to the overcurrent operational amplifier Aoc network. This filter is formed by R1 and C1. R2 is shunted across C1 to provide a bleeder resistor that quickly discharges it when the system is deactivated. The values of the slow response filter are selected to filter out the spikes that may be generated by the system being protected. As the primary of the current sensing pick-off transformer is increased, a proportional increase appears across the secondary winding which increases the value of the rectified DC voltage fed across pins 1 and 2 of the operational amplifier Aoc. Without a signal input to the operational amplifier, the output (pin 12) remains at a value above system ground as governed by the reference diode voltage at pin 2 of the operational amplifier input. As the DC across pins 1 and 2 increases as a result of an increase of primary current through φA, the inverting property of the operational amplifier causes the reference diode output voltage at pin 12 to drop. This voltage is sensed at pin 7 of the operational amplifier comparator Boc. Since pin 6 of the comparator is referenced by a Zener diode (6.2V) the output (pin 10) will remain in a "low" state until the input operational amplifier output voltage drops below 6.2V with respect to system ground. At this point, a "high" signal will appear at pin 10 and trigger the logic network of FIG. 4. Pin 3 of the L network (bottom CD4001AD) will then go into a high state. The R15 C5 filter tied to this pin causes this filter output to slowly rise to allow the CD4013AD latch to reset without causing a false trigger output pulse to occur at system "turn-on". When a situation has occurred to cause the output of the R15 C5 filter to raise above the threshold of the CD4013AD latch, pin 1 of the latch circuit will trigger the Darlington buffer D1 which, in turn, will trip the transistor-driven TO-5 relay to an open state. Since the TO-5 relay was installed in the system to cut the 28V standby voltage, the K2 relay will release and open a series of electrical contacts in φA, B, and C input power lines. φA, B and C sensors also have missing phase capabilities, each of which will shut down the system in the same manner as described above for the φA overcurrent circuit when a phase is opened. The fast response filter (R3, C3) previously mentioned, feeds the undercurrent sensor networks. The purpose of this filter is not only to smooth the output ripple of the bridge rectifier B1 but also to respond quickly to a current change in the primary of the current sensing pick-off transformer upon application of power to the system. If the response of this filter were too slow, the output of the undercurrent sensor comparator would remain in the high state immediately upon turn-on for a long enough time for the system to see an open phase erroneously.
In order to reset the protection circuit once it has been triggered due to a fault, it is necessary to remove the DC supply voltage to the board (28V in this case). In this situation, this is done by turning the system function switch completely off for a period of two seconds or more before attempting to reenergize the system. Simply reducing the current (in an overcurrent situation) below the trip value or reconnecting an open phase (in a missing phase situation) without turning the function switch to "off" will not reset the protection network.

looking for covered roaster
I'm looking for an oval covered roaster and was hoping someone would have some suggestions. I want to be able to make my mother-in-law's brisket recipe which involves searing the meat at high heat and then oven braising. She uses an ancient oval roaster with a domed lid. I'm assuming it's aluminum but I'm not sure (though it is very heavy and fairly large). I'm having a tough time finding one of these that doesn't have a nonstick coating. I didn't think nonstick coatings were supposed to get as hot as it would need to be to get a good sear on the meat. My MIL's old pan sure doesn't have one.
Anyway any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
I don't have practical experience to share, but am also interested in what people suggest.
I was thinking a covered roaster would be nice for some "stewey" type dishes especially for large amounts, and that the ones with flat lids would offer more versatility as both pieces can be used in various ways.
Here's a few of them (admittedly much pricier than the speckled enamel type.... don't know if they'd suit your use):
Paderno/Chaudiere Roasters (flat lids can double as pans) - 2 sizes (3 sizes in Canada but largest n/a currently; go to Paderno home page & choose US for items available to US & prices in USD):
(Note â PadernoÂfs Christmas sale prices til Monday Dec 13)
Krona 8 qt Multi Roaster (flat lid doubles as pan):
Multipurpose SS (?brand) oval roasting pan 16Âhx8Âh; 3 piece set: 12 quart/11.5 litre capacity roasting pan, 5 quart/4.8 litre capacity lid/sautÂEpan/serving platter, and roasting rack â limited availability: http://www.goldaskitchen.com/merchant.ihtml?pid=7494&step=4
I do know a couple of people who really like Paderno cookware, & one specifically likes the larger flat lidded multi version with the handles offset a bit (not the more huge domed one).
IIRC, Le Creuset has oval pots which would serve as roasters. I have one LC pot called a doufeu, which has the "usual" enamel coating and a special top. The inside of the top has small dimples built onto the surface. The outside of the top has a large depression into which you put ice cubes or cold water.
The idea is that the steam rising up from the food/braising liquid collects on the lid, but, because the lid is so much cooler than the inside of the pot (courtesy of the ice cubes/cold water), the steam collects on the dimples and then drips back onto the food. Of course, it would work fine as a roaster if you put a rack into it. And, of course, like all LC, it is expensive. But I'll never have to buy another one!
I have the Le Creuset oval roaster and it is terrific. There is nothing like enameled cast iron for performance and for presentation. It goes from cooktop (searing) to oven (slow cooking) to table (serving). Once on the table, the food will stay hot for nearly an hour.
The lid is not domed, so that may be an issue, depending on how large the meat is that you put in it. I mostly use mine for stews.
Just came across this thread, hope y'all don't mind me bringing it back up.
I'd seen the stainless 'Wolfgang Puck' flat lid roasters at Sam's some time ago; this past fall I finally decided to give one a try. I've used it quite a bit already, mostly for slow roasting meat, it does a wonderful job. It's heavy and high temps shouldn't be the least worry. It polishes up like new every time, I consider it a lifetime purchase. Not bad for $40.
Only one caveat: the edge of the lid is a little sharp, about like a dull table knife. I managed to let it slide through wet fingers, OUCH. A little careful buffing in the shop fixed it.

My husband and I split a salad, pizza and the lasagna. They were nice enough to individually plate the pasta and salad. Lasagna was creamy and noodles al dente. Perfect! I highly recommend this place. Price was right too!

1) Peak Impact is a Customer Driven Company
Customer service is the most important thing to us. We are in business to help you succeed. If you ever have any questions or if we can help you in any way, you can contact us 6 days a week by Live Online Chat, Telephone or Email.
2) Highest Quality, Most Responsive Leads in the Industry
Two Peak Impact partners are from a successful network marketing background and two are from a successful Internet Advertising background. Peak Impact was founded because we were not happy with the MLM Leads that were available. We spent over two years trying to make other companies leads work for us, and we could not find good real time leads. So, we started Peak Impact to provide the industry with the very best most responsive real time leads in the home based business industry. The growing number of repeat customers we have tells us that we are providing the high quality leads that we set out to provide.
3) No Bad Lead Policy
Our lead verification process is the best in the industry. However, we do provide a free 10% overage on all lead orders, just in case a bad lead slips through. If the total number of bad leads is ever over the 10% overage that we give you then we are happy to replace these leads as well.Â
4) Leads are Never Incentivized
Our prospects are not looking for a free ipod, laptop or whatever the latest cool freebie is. We don't even offer prospects a free ebook when they fill in our lead capture form, because we feel that this is too much incentivization. Our prospects are simply looking for more information on how they can start their own home based business.
5) Leads are Never Oversold
While most companies sell their leads 5 or more times, we sell our leads an average of 2 times and never more than 3 times.
6) Scalable Lead Solutions
We own our own Affiliate Advertising Network which is extremely rare in this industry. Usually lead companies just buy advertising on ad networks, but since we own the network, this gives us total control over both lead quality and lead quantity. Basically, we have the ability to increase the number of leads that we deliver to any volume that is required. And as I mentioned, we are in full control of the quality as well which is why we have less bad leads than other companies.
7) Largest Variety of Types of Leads
We provide a full range of both Real Time and Aged Business Opportunity Leads, all of which come in both Surveyed and Short Form versions: Local Area Code Targeted, National, Gender Targeted, Redirected Leads.

In addition we have Real Time Voice Leads which are a unique type of lead that no other company has, and both phone interviewed leads and voice broadcast leads are being introduced soon. Plus, we also provide training and mentoring services, and a regular schedule of live lead calls where you can hear our experts actually calling leads and setting up appointments. These are generic calls and no company names are ever mentioned. Check out:Â www.liveleadcalls.com We listen when our customers want us to develop a certain type of lead or service. We are partners in your success!
8) Exclusive in Your Company
Your leads are never sold to anyone else in your company, so they will never be presented with your opportunity by anyone else but you.
9) Focus on Research and Development
Constant R & D means we are regularly coming out with another product to help you achieve greater levels of success.
10) Free Industry Leading Lead Back Office
All orders include a free Lead Back Office where you have full control over your lead flow. You may pause or unpause your leads at any time and you choose how many leads you get each day. We believe that you should have full control over when you get your leads rather than have the company send them to you whenever they want.

Should I be concerned with rippling or folds after breast augmentation?
I am 3 years post op with silicone implants under the muscle. In the past couple days I have noticed a place in my left breast cleavage side that when pressed pops in and out and sometimes feels like an edge. When I lay on my back it disappears and the same thing happens when I lay on my left side. It's not visibly noticeable and there is no pain. Should I be concerned? I am thin and had very little breast tissue to begin with 32A and now I am a 34C.
I don't believe this fold is anything to worry about. In my experience this is just a fold in the implant that you feel through your tissue that is relatively thin in that area. Maybe you have lost weight recently, and now can feel it, or have lost breast tissue from breast feeding recently? So when you lay down, there is not any folding of the implant and so it lies flat. When you stand, there has to be a fold in the implant and that is what you are feeling. If you had more breast tissue, you would not feel it. It also means that you do not have a capsular contracture, as you could not feel the fold or ripple if that scar around the implant was tougher. Just to be sure, go back to your plastic surgeon and get an exam. Best of luck.
Dan Mills
I would not be concerned.this probably represents a fold in the impalant.I would go to your plastic surgeon and have them evaluate it.
Palpable folding is, unfortunately, one of the things that happens with breast implants in people with thin tissue covering the implant. It is most common inferiorly where the breast tissue over the implant is the thinnest. It also happens more frequently after some contracture of the scar capsule around the implant, thus the appearance at 3 years. You need to do nothing about this unless it becomes much more of a problem, which it seldom does. For your peace of mind and to make sure this is not something else, it is a good idea to return to your plastic surgeon who is familiar with this and other problems in the breasts for an examination.
Thank you for your question. The fold you feel is likely not harmful to you and fortunately is not visible.
I would suggest a follow up visit with your plastic surgeon for an exam and to make sure you are not developing a capsule-which is unlikely but you should be checked.

8 Tips for Reaching Out to Parents
After seven years in the classroom, I feel I'm in a position to offer some advice for how teachers can build and sustain positive relationships with parents -- as well as appropriately handle difficult circumstances. Following are eight tips that I've learned from experience.
1. Avoid Doing Battle
I always log and take notes on parent phone calls, a good practice in case you need to recall the details of a conversation (or if one took place). When parents get overly angry, emotional or offensive (which rarely happens), I end the conversation quickly but diplomatically: "I hear you're upset, but I no longer feel comfortable speaking with you on the phone. We should meet face to face, but with an administrator also present." I then report to my department chair. Sometimes, five percent of parents will consume 95 percent of your time.
2. Keep E-Mail Timely and Brief
When I receive e-mail from parents, I reply the very same day. By not responding in a timely fashion, you make your school and yourself look lazy and unprofessional. If the e-mail is anything beyond a simple request, like reminding Johnny to meet for extra help after school, it's always wise to avoid a detailed exchange and request a face-to-face meeting instead. It's remarkably easy to misconstrue tone and meaning via e-mail, which heightens fears and emotions.
3. Post Assignments Online
I post at least two weeks' worth of lessons and assignments online, and they are easily accessible to students and parents alike. Few things hurt a teacher's reputation more than being perceived as unprepared and disorganized. Besides, parents should know what their child is studying, and students should have a clear idea of what they will be learning. On many occasions, this planning has also allowed me to meet with parents and students in advance about how to prepare for more challenging assignments. Moreover, when students miss days of school, neither they nor their parents need to e-mail me about missed work.
4. Involve Parents in Their Children's Education
Great teachers welcome parent support and curiosity. I've lost track of how many wonderfully positive conversations I've had with parents about my curriculum or assignments. Those conversations morph into how impressed I am with something in particular that Johnny or Sally did or said, letting the parents see that I really know and care about their child. Sometimes, parents ask what they can do to help their child succeed -- and it's crucial that you lay out an approach involving their direct action. Enlist their help as another coach, not as a surrogate.
5. Prepare for a Successful Back-to-School Night
Early on, the best way to earn parent support is to run a successful back-to-school night -- which, in many cases, can be a lot of fun. When speaking to parents, I do my best to bring the same vigor and eagerness I bring to my students in the classroom. I love what I teach, and I make that known not only by what I say, but also by how I say it. I'm animated, talking excitedly about my classes. All the while, I'm careful not to monopolize the short time we have together. I want to hear from the parents. I want to learn their hopes and fears for their student, and how I can support them in our collective mission to help all kids meet their greatest potential.
6. Call Home to Report Good News
Parents rarely receive a positive call home. Twice a semester, I make a point to call and tell them how impressed I am with something their student did or said. It surprises me when parents nervously answer the phone, as if a student did something wrong. They are all the more relieved and proud when I have just good news to report. These calls let parents know that I care as much about recognizing success and improvement as I do about spotting struggle and weakness. These calls also reassure parents that I'm not out to make life more difficult for their child, that I'm fair in my assessments and feedback, and that I genuinely want to see students succeed.
7. Look Professional
Nothing spells "unprofessional" more than a messy-looking teacher, especially when meeting with parents. Since you never know when you might run into a parent, it's a good idea to come to school looking neat and professional. I know some teachers who never come to work without wearing a tie, arguing that a visitor should never have any doubt as to who's in charge. I'm not sold that wearing a tie is essential to accomplishing this task, but it can't hurt -- and it's an even wiser move for younger teachers, also looking to earn authority in the classroom.
8. Participate in After-School Activities
This could be anything from coaching to attending as a spectator. I coach varsity cross-country, and beyond adoring my engagement with students in a non-academic setting -- which has a host of benefits unto itself -- I enjoy interacting with parents on a daily basis. We speak not only about how their child is doing athletically, but emotionally and academically as well. I can't express how often this rapport has helped me realize how to communicate more effectively with teens, both on the field and inside the classroom.
How should teachers effectively communicate with parents, and involve them in their child's education? Please share your thoughts and experiences in the comments section below.

Thank you for this well written post. Parent involvement is important for student success and it starts at home. Teachers and administrators at school can help parents get involved with their child's education by communicating better and welcoming parents as partners. I especially like the line - 'Enlist their help as another coach, not as a surrogate.' A point that goes well in this list and is very powerful is - 'Give parents the opportunity to observe their child in class'.
An important aspect to note regarding technology use for communicating with parents is that it needs to be two-way much like these social tools in use today, so parents not only have a place to gather information as in online assignments, but they can also comment and 'like' and get questions answered.
Point #2 is right on! I like the distinction between sending emails for short, to-the-point messages and requesting face-to-face meetings for longer, more detailed discussions. The majority of parents seem to prefer email for communication instead of other methods, and this preference for technology can really help teachers save some time and stress when interacting with parents. I recently wrote a blog post with tips for teachers who struggle with parent communication and how technology helps. http://vingapp.com/ving-edtech-blog/struggle-parent-communication/
Parental involvement is a make or break situation in the educational world. As an educator I feel that having a relationship with the parents is just as important as the relationship that I have with my students. I like tip #4 as it states to keep the parents involved in their child's education. I send home a weekly newsletter to my parents with the skills for the week along with various "at-home" learning activities that the parents can do at home to reinforce the skills that are being taught with in the classroom. I have received positive feedback from my parents as it keeps them up to date of that is going on in their child's world at school.
this article is appreciated. I agree with much if what you say, however, as for the way one dresses. I see so many teachers who are so consumed with appearance, what happened to just dressing appropriately? Simplicity while teaching I find is best, when concerning wardrobe.
I find that having a good learning platform, such as model, itsLearning, or even a website that parents and students can see assignments, upcoming assessments, is incredibly valuable in this day of technology.
Also, a text service, like Remind101, where students can get reminder texts about assignments, due dates, linkers etc. is incredibly helpful! Especially with smart phones where they can be immediately transferred to calendars. Parents can get the text reminders, which helps them feel involved.
I also use twitter to send out posts about assignments, due dates, simple review info, extra credit opportunities.
One thing that helps me tremendously this year is a free service called Remind101. I can have parents and students sign up for the service with their cell phones. Both can opt to receive texts or email messages. After signing up, which takes less than 5 minutes, I can post any homework assignments or things to know, and both parents and kids will have a quick reminder as to what to do that evening.
Parents especially have been so happy to be able to ask more than, "Do you have any homework?" and the kid will reply, "nothing tonight." Instead, this service gives parents the power to ask, "Where is that essay's rough draft that is due tomorrow?" Even parents who are not able to be home due to late jobs etc. can feel like they are involved and knowledgeable about what is going on at school.
It takes me about one minute to post homework to all classes. It has the capability to send messages to all classes, send a message to a few kids at a time, and attach documents as well. I used to think that kids should just learn responsibility and do their work without hand-holding. I have come to believe that parents just need more power to hold kids accountable at home. My seventh graders can barely hold it together with all the changes they are going through. Why not help them with this?
I agree with all that was stated. The techniques described really do work.
Thank you for this post! I agree, wholeheartedly with #7. In our quest to become expert teachers, we strive to be life-long learners, build relationships with caring, passionate colleagues, and work hard to establish a successful learning community. We rarely read about teacher dress as an effective teacher attribute, but it is. The way a teacher dresses helps set the tone of an effective learning environment. Thank you!
I couldn't agree more. Number one in dealing with an upset parent is crucial. I always try to allow my first call home to be on a positive note. I think this lets the parents know that I am in support of their child.
Great Article and lots of great information. I really enjoyed you mentioning a speedy response back to parent e-mails. I have received many thanks from parents about a quick response to an e-mail. My challenge still remains with getting parents involved with their child's life. How do you tell them it's not okay to send your child to school with a breakfast of Mt. Dew and candy after they only slept 4 hours because they were up all night playing video games?
These are great tips for a fairly new teacher. I agree that it is really important to become involved in the school and within the community because it makes you more personable, which helps parents feel more comfortable around you. On thing that I do as an elementary teacher is I have a mystery reader program where we invite parents to come in every other Friday afternoon to read to my students. The students love trying to guess who is coming in each time, and the parents love being involved.

Re: [Marbling] some tips - metallics
Expand Messages
- Hi,
Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't! I know that isn't very helpful. When it has worked for me is when I've applied it as the first color and then add additional colors. I've had the best success with acryllic metallic tube paints (Liqutex) and on dark papers. If you apply the metallic as the last color it will chase all the other colors away.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Subject: [Marbling] some tips
Yes, I have some pipettes that I bought for this and forgot about. LOL! My
friends call my "the gadget queen" because I like to experiment.
The only person I was able to take a lesson from used eye droppers to
apply the paint, but because of my tremor (benign essential tremor -
basically a nuisance) those don't work for me, so I went to the bottles and
brushes. When I mix too much in a cup or want to quit for awhile, like a
week or a month, I put the paint in the bottles.
I have been amazed that I am able to do the Ebru style with the flowers with
my tremor, but I sort of hold my breath and really concentrate. Also the
"spanish wave:"techniques is actually easier for my because of my hands.
I just washed out a whole slew of bottles because I am too cheap to throw
them out, so I soaked them overnight in the fabric softener and water
mixture, then used a toothbrush on the ribby parts and a test tube brush on
the tips and they are all clean again.
Another tip someone told me about, Ginny or Pat?, was to mix a cup of
acrylic flow release and water and use it for "clear":, when you want to
make the large hols for overmarbling effects.
Another one that I have not mastered yet is to use a turkey baster to
carefully suck up 3 colors, one after the other, then when you gently
squeeze them out, you will get a tricolor effect. Maybe the pipettes might
work this way?
The only paints I have not had any luck with have been metallics. No matter
how much I thin them down, they always sink. Any one else have any luck
with this?

Secure Boot support with Oracle Linux 7.1
Another feature introduced with Oracle Linux 7.1 is support for Secure Boot.
If Secure Boot is enabled on a system (typically desktop, but in some cases also servers) - the system can have an embedded certificate (in firmware). This certificate can be one that's uploaded to the system by the admin or it could be one provided by the OEM/OS vendor. In many cases, in particular newer desktops, the system already contains the Microsoft key. (there can be more than one certificate uploaded...). When the firmware loads the boot loader, it verifies/checks the signature of this bootloader with the key stored in firmware before continuing. This signed bootloader (at this point trusted to continue) will then load a signed kernel, or signed second stage boot loader and verify it before starting and continuing the boot process. This creates what is called a chain of trust through the boot process.
We ship a 1st stage bootloader with Oracle Linux 7.1 which is a tiny "shim" layer that is signed by both Microsoft and Oracle. So if a system comes with Secure Boot support, and already ships the microsoft PK, then the shim layer will be started, verified, and if it passes verification, it will then load grub2 (the real bootloader). grub2 is signed by us (Oracle). The signed/verified shim layer contains the Oracle key and will validate that grub2 is ours (signed), if verification passes, grub2 will load the Oracle Linux kernel, and the same process takes place, our kernel is signed by us (Oracle) and grub2 will validate the signature prior to allowing execution of the kernel. Once the kernel is running, all kernel modules that we ship as part of Oracle Linux whether it's standard included kernel modules as part of the kernel RPM or external kernel modules used with Oracle Ksplice, are also signed by Oracle and the kernel will validate the signature prior to loading these kernel modules.
Enabling loading and verification of signed kernel modules is done by adding enforcemodulesig=1 to the grub kernel option line. In enforcing mode, any kernel module that is attempted to be loaded that's not signed by Oracle will fail to load.
If a system has Secure Boot support but a sysadmin wants to use the Oracle signature instead, we will make our certificate available to be downloaded securely from Oracle and then this can be uploaded into the firmware key database.
Oracle Linux 7.1 and MySQL 5.6
One update in Oracle linux 7 update 1 that I wanted to point out is the convenience of upgrading to MySQL 5.6 at install time. Oracle Linux 7 GA includes MariaDB 5.5 (due to our compatibility commitment in terms of exact packages and the same packages) and we added MySQL 5.6 RPMs on the ISO image (and in the yum repo channels online). So while it was easy for someone to download and upgrade from MariaDB 5.5 to MySQL 5.6 there was no install option. Now with 7.1 we included an installation option for MySQL. So you can decide which database to install in the installer or through kickstart with @mariadb or @mysql as a group. Again, MariaDB 5.5 is also part of Oracle Linux 7.1 and any users that are looking for strict package compatibility will see that we are very much that. All we have done is make it easy to have a better alternative option (1) conveniently available and integrated (2) without any compatibility risks whatsoever so you can easily run the real standard that is MySQL. A bug fix if you will.
I have a little screenshot available here.
Oracle Linux and Database Smart Flash Cache
You can find an overview of the feature in the Oracle Database Administrator's Guide. Basically, if you have flash devices attached to your server, you can use this flash memory to increase the size of the buffer cache. So instead of aging blocks out of the buffer cache and having to go back to reading them from disk, they move to the much, much faster flash storage as a secondary fast buffer cache (for reads, not writes).
Some scenarios where this is very useful : you have huge tables and huge amounts of data, a very, very large database with tons of query activity (let's say many TB) and your server is limited to a relatively small amount of main RAM - (let's say 128 or 256G). In this case, if you were to purchase and add a flash storage device of 256G or 512G (example), you can attach this device to the database with the Database Smart Flash Cache feature and increase the buffercache of your database from like 100G or 200G to 300-700G on that same server. In a good number of cases this will give you a significant performance improvement without having to purchase a new server that handles more memory or purchase flash storage that can handle your many TB of storage to live in flash instead of rotational storage.
It is also incredibly easy to configure.
-1 install Oracle Linux (I installed Oracle Linux 6 with UEK3)
-2 install Oracle Database 12c (this would also work with 11g - I installed 22.214.171.124.0 EE)
-3 add a flash device to your system (for the example I just added a 1GB device showing up as /dev/sdb)
-4 attach the storage to the database in sqlplus
$ ls /dev/sdb /dev/sdb $ sqlplus '/ as sysdba' SQL*Plus: Release 188.8.131.52.0 Production on Tue Feb 24 05:46:08 2015 Copyright (c) 1982, 2014, Oracle. All rights reserved.

You can get more information on configuration and guidelines/tuning here. If you want selective control of which tables can use or will use the Database Smart Flash Cache, you can use the ALTER TABLE command. See here. Specifically the STORAGE clause. By default, the tables are aged out into the flash cache but if you don't want certain tables to be cached you can use the NONE option.
alter table foo storage (flash_cache none);This feature can really make a big difference in a number of database environments and I highly recommend taking a look at how Oracle Linux and Oracle Database 12c can help you enhance your setup. It's included with the database running on Oracle Linux.
Here is a link to a white paper that gives a bit of a performance overview.
New features in ksplice uptrack-upgrade tools for Oracle Linux
There are 2 ways to use the Ksplice service :
The RPM is updated whenever a new ksplice patch becomes available. So you always have 1 RPM installed for a given kernel, and this RPM gets updated. This was standard yum / rpm commands can be used to update your server(s) with ksplice patches as well and everything is nicely integrated.
The standard model is that an uptrack-upgrade command will apply all updates to current/latest on your server. This is of course the preferred way of applying security fixes on your running system, it's best to be on the latest version. However, in some cases, customers want more fine-grained control than latest.
We just did an update of the ksplice offline tools to add support for updating to a specific "kernel version". This way, if you are on kernel version x, you would like to go to kernel version y (effective patches/security fixes) but latest is kernel version z, you can tell uptrack-upgrade to go to kernel version y. Let me give a quick and simple example below. I hope this is a useful addition to the tools.
happy holidays and happy ksplicing!
To install the tools, make sure that your server(s) has access to the ol6_x86_64_ksplice channel (if it's OL6) :
$ yum install uptrack-offline
Now, in my example, I have Oracle Linux 6 installed with the following version of UEK3 :
$ uname -r 3.8.13-44.1.1.el6uek.x86_64
Let's check if updates are available :
$ yum search uptrack-updates-3.8.13-44.1.1 Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security This system is receiving updates from ULN. =========== N/S Matched: uptrack-updates-3.8.13-44.1.1.el6uek.x86_64 =========== uptrack-updates-3.8.13-44.1.1.el6uek.x86_64.noarch : Rebootless updates for the ...: Ksplice Uptrack rebootless kernel update service
As I mentioned earlier, for each kernel there's a corresponding ksplice update RPM. Just install that. In this case, I run 3.8.13-44.1.1.
$ yum install uptrack-updates-3.8.13-44.1.1.el6uek.x86_64.noarch Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security This system is receiving updates from ULN.

There have been a ton of updates released since 44.1.1, and the above update gets me to effectively running 3.8.13-55.1.1. Of course, without a reboot.
$ uptrack-uname -r 3.8.13-55.1.1.el6uek.x86_64
Now we get to the new feature. There's a new option in uptrack-upgrade that lists all effective kernel versions from the installed kernel to the latest based on the ksplice rpm installed.
$ uptrack-upgrade --list-effective Available effective kernel versions: 3.8.13-44.1.1.el6uek.x86_64/#2 SMP Wed Sep 10 06:10:25 PDT 2014 3.8.13-44.1.3.el6uek.x86_64/#2 SMP Wed Oct 15 19:53:10 PDT 2014 3.8.13-44.1.4.el6uek.x86_64/#2 SMP Wed Oct 29 23:58:06 PDT 2014 3.8.13-44.1.5.el6uek.x86_64/#2 SMP Wed Nov 12 14:23:31 PST 2014 3.8.13-55.el6uek.x86_64/#2 SMP Mon Dec 1 11:32:40 PST 2014 3.8.13-55.1.1.el6uek.x86_64/#2 SMP Thu Dec 11 00:20:49 PST 2014
So as an example, let's say I want to update from 44.1.1 to 44.1.5 instead of to 55.1.1 (for whatever reason I might have). All I have to do, is run uptrack-upgrade to go to that effective kernel version.
Let's start with removing the installed updates and go back from 55.1.1 to 44.1.1 and then upgrade again to 44.1.5 :
$ uptrack-remove --all ... $ uptrack-upgrade --effective="3.8.13-44.1.5.el6uek.x86_64/#2 SMP Wed Nov 12 14:23:31 PST 2014" ... ... Effective kernel version is 3.8.13-44.1.5.el6uek
And that's it.

Localized Dimension Growth: A Convolutional Random Network Coding Approach to Managing Memory and Decoding Delay
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The authors consider an Adaptive Random Convolutional Network Coding (ARCNC) algorithm to address the issue of field size in random network coding for multicast, and study its memory and decoding delay performances through both analysis and numerical simulations. ARCNC operates as a convolutional code, with the coefficients of local encoding kernels chosen randomly over a small finite field. The cardinality of local encoding kernels increases with time until the global encoding kernel matrices at related sink nodes have full rank. ARCNC adapts to unknown network topologies without prior knowledge, by locally incrementing the dimensionality of the convolutional code.
