Youngblood downplays his athleticism humbly, stating bluntly that he's not the athlete some of the defensive linemen on the Rebel team are, but don't tell that to Defensive Coordinator Dave Wommack.
"John does everything right, plus, he's a better athlete than people would think," Wommack says. "The strength of his game is you know he is going to be where he is supposed to be, doing the things he is supposed to do, every time, but don't underestimate his ability either."
Now, in his fifth year, Youngblood has gained the respect of everyone within the Rebel program, so much so that he is the recipient of the Chucky Mullins Courage Award and will wear the coveted jersey #38 this season.
And with incumbent starter Fadol Brown's season in question, maybe even jeopardy, Youngblood has taken over the strong side defensive end starting role.
"It's a dream come true, really, to have the 38 jersey, to be considered a leader of the defense, to have more responsibility and to be a starter. I would rather have Fadol healthy for the sake of the team and our position, but I intend to do all I can for the team," he stated. "I have taken everything to heart. Football has always been important to me, but now it takes on a whole new level of importance."
Youngblood said he's attacking everything with more focus.
"Being in the position I am in right now has made me practice harder, watch film more, prepare harder and become a leader. I have always kind of stayed in the background until now, but I learned from the seniors before me and now it's my turn to lead and sacrifice and do all the things the seniors before me did," he explained.
Youngblood learned back in the early stages of summer that Fadol's stress fracture injury in his foot was not progressing like everyone had hoped and he knew what that meant.
"(DL) Coach (Chris) Kiffin called me in and told me I needed to be ready to play a lot of snaps and I'd better get ready," John noted. "I took that to heart. I have not left any stone unturned.
"I needed to become more vocal as a leader as #38 and as a senior. I needed to increase my football IQ some to let the guys around me know what's going on, not just with my position," he explained. "I need to be able to recognize formations, tendencies, down-and-distance and help my teammates stay in tune with all of that in the heat of the moment."
Wommack and Kiffin always say that Youngblood doesn't make mistakes.
"I don't feel like I am as physically gifted as Marquis (Haynes) or Breeland (Speaks) or some of the others, so my game is different," he added. "I know my role, I know my assignment, and I will be at the right spot at the right time to make the plays I am supposed to make or to set my teammates up to make plays."
Specifically, Youngblood wants to be able to get to the opposing quarterback more often.
"I have had a taste of success there and it tastes good," he said. "Going against Laremy (Tunsil) and Fahn (Cooper) for a few years has helped me a lot and I did a lot of extra work on my technique and rush moves last spring and during the summer. I am more confident now in my ability to get to the QB. I bring up Laremy because when you get a base block from Tunsil, it's like no other. Games were always easier than practice when he was around. There is no mistaking his ability and no mistaking how much you improve when you go against him."
Behind him are Garrald McDowell and Sean Curtis.
"They have done a nice job, but they will see the most improvement by getting game experience. That makes us all better," he allowed. "I have faith in both of them."
Youngblood says playing Florida State next Monday night in Orlando is a major challenge.
"It has gotten real very quickly," he smiled. "Our coaches have worked hard putting together a great plan. It's up to us to execute it. A big part of that will be getting #4 (Dalvin Cook) on the ground. He is a special player and it's going to be an electric game. It's hear and I can't wait."
As of this writing, there is hope Fadol will be back in some capacity, which Youngblood wants as badly as anyone, but either way. John is going to be a bigger part of the Rebel defense than in the past.
A dream come true.

Ulcerative proctitis is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that can cause major damage to the digestive system. Symptoms are often so severe that lifestyle changes are required. There is little evidence that diet or particular foods cause ulcerative protitis, but it is wise to practice good nutrition by eating a well-balanced diet. This disease sometimes makes it difficult for the body to absorb nutrients, so you may want to speak to your physician about vitamin supplements.
Blood Sugar Regulation
Keeping your blood sugar regulated can help you feel much better. The body's main energy source is glucose, which is absorbed directly into the blood stream. But it requires insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas, in order to enter the tissue cells. Consistent eating habits will help control blood sugar levels. Eat about the same amount of food each day at the same time each day. A variety of foods will help you to achieve your nutritional goals.
Healthy carbohydrates such as vegetables, fruits, low-fat dairy products, whole grains, peas, beans and lentils should be included in your daily diet. Approximately 40 percent to 65 percent of the calories you consume each day should come from these healthy carbohydrates.
Saturated fats should make up no more than 7 percent of your daily calories and trans fats should be avoided altogether. Use solid fats sparingly, including butter, margarine and shortening. Use low-fat substitutes such as low-fat yogurt instead of butter. Good choices for monounsaturated fats are olive oil and canola oil. Polyunsaturated fats in nuts and seeds are a good choice as well, but keep in mind the high caloric content of all fats.
Cholesterol and Protein
Keep cholesterol in check by consuming no more than 200 mg per day. Choose lean cuts of meat, use egg substitutes and opt for skim milk over whole milk. Another healthy choice is fish, including tuna, cod, halibut, mackerel, salmon and herring. Protein should provide you with16 percent to 20 percent of your calories.
Try to include 25 to 30 grams of fiber in your daily diet. Fiber-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits, beans, peas and lentils, whole wheat flour, wheat bran and nuts help to decrease the risk of heart disease and control blood sugar levels.

Baby meat
When did your doctor tell you its ok to give your baby baby meat.I heard they make meat for baby's. But how old does the baby have to be to eat it?
I tried at about 7-8 months to give Tristen the baby food meat....lol the look on his face was hysterical! He spit it right out. I don't blame him though because it smelled awful! After that we just went with small bites of real meat and luckily he loves it.
It DOES smell awful. Like canned cat food. Blech.
Sounds like the other ladies are right... Like Amy said, I've heard from a ton of moms on here that baby wouldn't eat the jarred kind anyway because it smelled nasty.

The holiday rush has been particularly rushy this year.
We're not complaining. Please keep us busy.
It's fun when it's all hooves on deck.
The holiday rush has been particularly rushy this year.
We're not complaining. Please keep us busy.
It's fun when it's all hooves on deck.
This weekend I'm at (Re)Generation Who, a convention dedicated to Doctor Who. Doctors Peter Davison and Colin Baker are here, as are a bevy of companions and other actors from throughout the show's 50+ year history.
I am here as a vendor, selling the bags, pillows and book covers I sew. My company is MarfDazeGeek.
Here is a play-by-play of my (mostly) busy day. Many more pictures as the day progresses.
"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!," says my outrageously loud and insistent alarm clock.
Just in case wake up phone call from husband David.
Chat with a fellow dealer by the elevator. He has clearly come back from an early-morning jog.
Buffet breakfast. Decide on one less sausage due to shame based on lack of early-morning jogging.
I get a nice jelly-filled pastry to feed my feelings about my lack of early morning jogging.
Head to the lower level in an attempt to get Peter Davison's autograph. Fail. Too many people in line and I need to get up to the Dealer's Room.
Start to get booth ready in the Dealer's Room.
Decide that a second cup of coffee is in order. Head to the café.
9: 21
Return to Dealer's Room and chat with neighbors until the room opens to the public. Today's discussion. Sam vs. Dean. My talented corset-making neighbor picks Dean, based solely on his
loyalty bravery cheekbones jawline love of pie. I go with neither. Those guys are trouble.
Dealer's Room opens to VIPs.
First sale. Yay!
Room opens to everyone.
First grab-and-go multiple sale. Sometimes people get to my table and pick up the first three or four bags they see and buy them. This shopping strategy is so different from my own that I suspect these folks are on a scavenger hunt. Three MarfDaze bags. Check.
Crowd begins to form in the dealer's room. Effects of the second cup of coffee begin to be felt. Good morning!
A cybershade drags Jackson Lake through the dealer's room, like in "The Next Doctor."
I meet the first of many Twelfth Doctors of the day.
Just like the Peter Capaldi-shaped Doctor in "Deep Breath," she brought along dinosaurs to help introduce herself.
Someone notices the "Grr Argh" on my 2-year-old Zombie bags sign and connects it to Buffy for the first time ever.
Quick stripy scarf count in the dealer's room. Only four. Step up your game, people.
Two new scarves enter the room. Two leave. There must be a conservation of Fourth Doctor Scarves Law.
Someone drops by for the expressed purpose of telling me how much she loves the bag she bought from me last year. Blush.
I learned the ASL sign for TARDIS. Which is really quite lovely. Get it?
The Doctor, a friendly Dalek and Oswin drop by.
Someone pays using a $2 bill.
A lady says she has nothing to put in bags and that she has too many already. Then she buys four. Not that I'm complaining.
For some reason, I'm selling Stargate bags at an unusual rate. Again, no complaints.
Busy selling.
Vincent and the Doctor say hello.
I told Missy and the Doctor that I'm glad they're friends again, and she said, "Not just friends — in our case, we go home and sleep together." Well, no surprise there, Master.
This Doctor must have been doing some welding under the Tardis console.
River dropped by.
And then showed off her diary.
The Triceratops Has the Phone Box.
Still slow. But someone gave me a wrapped grape tootsie pop. Internal debate about whether or not to eat candy from strangers ensues.
I remember that I enjoyed an UNWRAPPED Jelly Baby yesterday, and it was given to me by Tom Servo dressed as the Sixth Doctor yesterday and I have yet to die. It was quite tasty.
A man wants to smother his couch with Doctor Who pillows from MarfDaze. Needs to call wife first for a thumbs up. That's probably a wise move.
Cat is the greatest dealer's room volunteer ever. She is the gold standard of responsiveness and friendliness. Today, she introduced me to her mom.
I checked and I'm still not dead from yesterday's tasty jelly baby from strangers. Now I'm eying the grape tootsie pop more seriously.
Post lunch crowd starting to drop in.
This is Brad. Brad likes signs and sly humor.
Yesterday, Brad came as a bombastic xenophobe.
There's always exactly one jerkface at every event I go to. No more. No fewer. And it is the official surprise jerkface job to say something unexpected, insulting and weird all that same time. Today's jerkface pointed to a bag and asked his companion, "What the fuck is this? Why the fuck would you make that?" Dude, I'm right here. To answer your well thought-out questions, in order. 1.) It's a bag. 2.) Because I'm a multidimensional wavelength of celestial intent and frankly, I'm amazing.
As if sent by the fates to keep the force in balance, delightfully prolific and prolifically delightful author John Peel dropped on his way to a panel to thank me for a present I gave his equally delightful wife. Today I found out that I read a few of his star trek books many years ago, long before we met. Funny how life works.
I notice for the first time all day that I haven't been sewing despite my sewing machine being in front of me, all ready to go. I'm ok with that. I had a rough time sleeping last night, and tired brain + sewing machine needles + fingers = ouchies. Possibly bloody ouchies. Best not to sew.
I admired a Tardis/Doctor combo.
I'm pretty sure all the Daleks and all the Cybermen just walked by my table in the condensed form of one Mr. Nicholas Briggs.
After a busy spell of actually selling things, the Master came by. I told him to please not kill Irving.
Irving is still hiding from the Master.
Seeing all the multigenerational families of Doctors today – a Tom Baker dad was with a Matt Smith teen and a Peter Capaldi tween, it occurred to me that the newest doctor is always simultaneously the oldest doctor.
I met a pug named Lillian.
Amy and Rory arrived on the scene.
Afternoon lull. Time to edit this blog. While I eat a grape tootsie pop. How did this get here?
I discover that the real danger in the tootsie pop is that it's hard to talk to customers in an elegant and professional manner with a chewy lolly in my mouth.
Lull officially over. Now afternoon rush.
Utilikilts and stripy scarfs now vying for sartorial supremacy in the Dealer's Room.Three kilts to five scarves (counting Irving's).
What's the most charming idea you can think of? Toss it aside and replace it with talented belly-dancing geeky ladies in fanciful costumes dancing. I wasn't able to see Antipode's show, but I did see some of their outfits. Adorable.
Oh. Hey. It's snowing. A lot.
Quick break. Need someone to watch the table.
My con friend Missy is dressed as the Master, who, as you know, is now Missy.
Not gonna lie. Sometimes I completely forget what I'm really supposed to be doing behind my table (selling bags, because mortgage and food) and my booth just sort of turns into a doctor who/star trek/whatever else chat space. And then someone else turns up and actually wants to look at the bags, and I'm like, oh, right, yeah, bags!
Someone introduced me to my new favorite cute animal, the flapjack octopus.
Carla here showed off her fabulous cloud and crystal rain drop necklace made with repurposed china.
This Fourth Doctor dropped by at 4:44 exactly.
Let me take this lull to tell you about the movie I saw last night. The Making of a Lady, which is set in 1896 England tells the tell of lady's secretary
Jenny Flint Emily Fox Seton, who marries John Stewart (but not really) and gets menaced by Benedict Cumberbatch's even prettier but malaria-addled brother (but not really). And Ab Fab's Patsy is their aunt. (Kinda really.)
Other than the amazing clothes and committed performances by some of the actors, the best part of this high melodrama was Sarah Dempster's review from the Guardian, which may be the best piece of writing I've read in quite a while:
"Life in the marital mansion passes in a series of stifled yawns and half-hearted gropes by gaslight. There are dinner table longuers and lingering shots of Emily looking pained at a writing desk… It's not exactly a bouncing jalopy of woo-hoo."
I've decided that I need to live a life that can only be described as a bouncing jalopy of woo-hoo. Let me get on that.
Another Missy and I chat about Jessica Jones.
Someone came by with a nametag that says Skynet. Which is clever because SPOILERS. No picture because SPOILERS.
Everyone's at dinner. Figurative thumb twiddling ensues.
I'm hopeless at figurative thumb twiddling, so I decide I need to sell six more things in order to call this day successful. This is difficult as everyone's left for the evening.
This Eleven had many of Matt Smith's mannerisms down.
Met a couple who are only halfway through David Tennant, but who have watched all of River Song in order, from her perspective. Yowza.
Met a mom who has made her tween son an amazing 17th Doctor costume. In case you were wondering, the 17th Doctor wears iridescent gray tails with a royal purple lining and a jaunty purple cravat shot with gold. You heard it here first. Start planning for 2032.
Despite the thinner crowd, I'm halfway to my arbitrary end–of-day goal.
Nope. Not going to make the goal.
Happy to visit with my last guests of the day, Lydia and her daughter, Sydney, whom I see at many local conventions. Sydney is hilarious and unbelievably quick witted. I suspect she will a critic, a commentator, a professor or the president.
Dinner and blogging.
9 pm
Post-bath relaxation.
Signing off. Time for sleepies.
But first, one last shot of Captain Jack and Ten in the form of belly-dancers.
On Sunday, thanks to more cooperative weather and a bevy of intrepid plowers and other helpful folks, Irving and I finally got to be vendors at the Heroes & Villains Fan Fest.
When we headed over to the convention center to get ready for the day, people were already lining up. A good sign.
I always get a little thrill when I pass all the eager fans queued up patiently and just sail right in, smiling at the security guard at the side door, armed with my vendor's badge of admittance power.
It's silly. I know.
We settled in, set out our signs and enjoyed a little coffee.

The Heroes & Villains folks had to cancel the first day of the convention due to an absurd amount of snow and high winds.
While the convention hall remains closed to attendees, everyone is still here, hunkered down in a small village of hotels.
Happily, when geeks get thwarted, geeks get creative. I really like the people who run the Walker Stalker/Fan Fest events. They are positive, helpful and have a sense of humor.
By Martha Michaela Hutchman Brown
aka Marf
Over the next few days, I will endeavor to give you a true view of what it's like to be a vendor at a convention. It can be fabulous, physically demanding, boring, grueling, delightful and profoundly satisfying by turns.
But first, let me give you a quick photo roundup of MarfDaze highlights in the last 6 months.
At Shore Leave in Maryland, Easter Cat hopped on Irving's back.

Balancing a healthy respect for the Classical canon through transcriptions, the LAGQ equally delves into the contemporary world of popular and folk music. The quartet will be at Hodgson Hall on Friday; a pre-concert lecture will be given by two members of Athens' Georgia Guitar Quartet.Special
Twenty-two years ago, four guitarists arrived at the University of Southern California to study Classical guitar. Each had a different background, with musical tastes varying from Chet Atkins to Yes. Fortunately, Pepe Romero, of the famed Los Romeros Guitar Quartet, arrived on campus as a guitar instructor at just the same time.
Romero recognized the potential talent of these four young men and began coaching them as a quartet. One of the most famous Classical guitarists in his own right and a member of ''the'' guitar quartet of the day, Romero encouraged the young ensemble to find its own voice, though the quartet's initial work was based on that of Romero's.
Today, those four, John Dearman, Scott Tennant, Andrew York and William Kanengiser - now known as the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet - form one of the most charismatic performing groups in the country. Balancing a healthy respect for the Classical canon through transcriptions, the group equally delves into the contemporary world of popular and folk music. In addition, York is one of the preeminent composers for modern Classical guitar and guitar quartet repertoire.
''As a quartet, we're not traditionalists,'' says Kanengiser of the LAGQ's innovative approach to programming. ''Part of that is that the guitar is a somewhat non-traditional instrument. It's a perfect crossover medium because it can exist in the Classical world with legitimacy while at the same time being so representative of pop and folk music from around the world.''
Los Angeles Guitar Quartet
When: 8 p.m. Friday, May 2
Where: Hugh Hodgson Concert Hall, University of Georgia Performing Arts Center
Cost: $25 and $29
Call: (706) 542-4400
Lecture: There will be a pre-concert lecture by Jason Solomon and Phil Snyder of the Georgia Guitar Quartet at 7:15 p.m. in Ramsey Concert Hall.
The quartet has enjoyed great success. LAGQ's self-titled debut on Sony debuted in the top 15 on the Billboard Classical-Crossover charts and remained there for six months. The group's most recent release on Telarc, ''LAGQ: Latin,'' was nominated for a Grammy.
This newer material sparked the current tour bringing the quartet to Hugh Hodgson Hall on Friday. ''LAGQ: Latin'' features the group's popular transcription of Bizet's ''Carmen'' along with works from Chile, Cuba and some new original works by members of the quartet.
When asked why the quartet chose the Latin theme, Kanengiser explains the group had been looking for a project that could include the ''Carmen'' arrangement. The project developed around that piece and branched out into other popular forms of Latin music, including an arrangement of a tango by Astor Piazzolla.
The quartet's program in Athens will cover a lot of ground: Latin music, new compositions by Andrew York, a set of Bach suites and the like.
As for LAGQ's success, Kanengiser has this advice to aspiring musicians: ''... We worked really hard at learning craft of instrument - being the best guitar players we could be. (And) we searched for an individual musical voice that was true to ourselves. If you do both of those things well, you'll have an audience.''

There are many factors when choosing the best stand up paddle for you. Here is a simple guide to finding the perfect KIALOA Stand Up Paddle.
1. ACTIVITY: Are you racer, surfer, whitewater or a versatile all water paddler? Start by choosing an activity to narrow your choices.
RACE: If competition is your thing, then you need a light paddle with the right amount of power. Choose one of our paddles designed specifically for racing. Each of our Race paddles is optimized for straight ahead paddling.
SURF: If you need a paddle that will be strong enough for the dynamic ocean environment, then you should choose a paddle in our Surf Series. Our Surf paddles feature a symmetrical blade for easy skimming and rounded blade edges that protect your board.
WHITEWATER: If you find your fun in running rapids and surfing standing waves, then your paddle needs to be bombproof and durable enough for the demands of the river.
ALL WATER: If you want a paddle that performs well in a variety fo environments, or will be used by family and friends, then an All Water paddle if for you. All Water paddles are designed to be versatile in their use but not excel at any one specific activity within stand up paddling.
2. BLADE SIZE: Choose a blade size to meet your specific power needs.
SMALL BLADES (80 sq. in. - 87 sq. in.) are best suited for smaller paddlers, those who prefer a quick cadence, or if you suffer from joint pain of overuse injuries.
LARGE BLADES (91 sq. in. - 100 sq. in) are best suited to larger, stronger paddlers or beginner paddlers looking for stability.
WOMEN & KIDS BLADES KIALOA offers paddles specifically for Women and Kids with smaller blades and Slim Shafts.
3. FIXED or ADJUSTABLE LENGTH: There is a lot to consider when choosing the correct paddle length. The reason we give a range fo paddle lengths for each stand up activity is because of the differences in paddling postures, paddling techniques, board styles and water conditions.
RACE: Add 4" - 10 " to your height
SURF: Add 4" - 8" to your height
WHITEWATER: Add 4" - 8" to your height
ALL WATER: Add 6" - 10" to your height
Take into the consideration the following:
ADJUSTABLE LENGTH: If you plan on sharing your paddle with family and friends you would choose one of our paddles that adjust in length with 16" of adjustablility. You will find this optionon our value oriented paddles featuring the 16" Utili-T™ or the 16" Utility Palm™. If you are looking for a personal paddle that will allow you to make length changes on the fly, choose a paddle with our 6" Pro-T™ or 6" Utili-T™ which can be found on our performance oriented paddles.
16" of ADJUSTMENT: I will share my paddle with family and friends.
6" of ADJUSTMENT: I want a personal paddle that offers 6" of adjustment.
TRAVEL: I will be traveling with my paddle and need it to break down.
4. BLADE TECHNOLOGY: Choose blade technology to meet your performance and durability needs.
CARBON FOAM CORE blades allow us to make complex shapes in a stiff, lightweight and strong blade. The PowerARC™ and PowerHook™ profiles facilitate a good catchand the smooth back face allows for an esy release. Internal Carbon edgebanding provides excellent durability to the edge of the blades. Each of the Carbon Foam Core blades is handmade in the USA.
FIBRLITE™ technology has ceated a paddle balde with the industries best strength to weight ratio. The durablility and impact resitance of these blades is unmatched while offering a light weight, stiff and high performance feel. Utalizing post manufacturing industrial waste these are the first high performance blades using recycled material. Fibrlite™ is a material made of continuous long-strand carbon fiber or fiberglass. Through a propietory manufacturing process, the carbon of fiberglass is impregnated with a polypropylene resin, bonding the fibers together.
NYLON REINFORCED FIBERGLASS injection molded blades provide value pricing in a durable and rigid blade. You can also find this technology in our Aloha Adjustable paddle.

Penelope is a sweet, delicate and elegant kitty with a huge personality. She has long soft hair , a fluffy tail that is to die for! She also has great markings. Did you notice her white mustache?
Penelope was rescued along with her mom and siblings and has been socialized with other cats and dogs. She equally enjoys playing with her sibling or her best friend, a Chihuahua pup.
Did I mention she is a kisser? She likes to give "good morning kisses". You will never have a bad day again, guaranteed!
Penelope's friendliness and sweetness does not stop her from being independent. She likes to spend time with you and play but in her own time, you know she has her own agenda. I do have to mention that she is a great company if you like to watch TV. She can spend hours watching pretty much any show, she does, however, have a preference for Batman movies…after all that is how she got her nick name ( Miss Wayne) In the perfect world Penelope will stay with her mom Victoria (G515) they hang out together most of the time and mommy can still comfort her when she is not feeling well.
If you are interested in learning more about Penelope or in adopting her, please click here to email her foster parent.
If you are unable to send an email to the foster parent through the link included above, please contact us and let us know what kitty you're interested in. You may also fill out our adoption questionnaire to speed up the screening process. Be sure to name the cat in the CAT PREFERENCE field at the beginning of the questionnaire. If the above links aren't live, our contact form and questionnaire are available on our website at www.kittenrescue.org.
For our fees and adoption policies and procedures, please click here.
Kitten Rescue presents cats for adoption regularly at locations all over Los Angeles County, in addition to conducting private adoptions during the week, with the goal of finding loving, committed homes for every animal we take in. We also offer education and help to the public regarding all aspects of responsible pet ownership, care of kittens and cats, and the importance of spaying and neutering.
Many of our cats have also received additional vet care as needed, such as surgery for injuries or congenital problems, treatment for ear, eye, upper respiratory infections, and viruses. Additional veterinary care beyond these services, for the (hopefully) long life of your cat, will be your responsibility.
Please be aware that there is a screening process involved in adopting a pet from Kitten Rescue. To help ensure that we place our cats in loving, responsible, and committed homes, we reserve the right to turn down potential adopters as we deem necessary. A home delivery or visit is a required part of the adoption procedure.
If for any reason you wish or need to return a cat you've adopted from us, you can do so within 72 hours for a full refund of the adoption donation. After that, be it months or years later and we're still in existence, if you need to give up the animal, please bring it to us. We won't be able to refund the adoption fee, but we will place it in a new home.
Kitten Rescue cats are so for life...we're always here to answer questions and help solve problems.
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to Kitten Rescue.
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

1 1 Networking Research: Trends and Issues Deep Medhi Networking & Telecommunication Research (NeTReL) Computer Science & Electrical Engineering Department School of Computing & Engineering University of Missouri-Kansas City, USA D. Medhi, Permission is granted for this material to be shared for non-commercial, educational purposes. To disseminate otherwise or to republish requires written permission from the author. DM, February 2007, p.1 Outline Review: CSTB 2001 Report Broad Categories for Networking Research Trends Some Historical Examples Issues DM, February 2007, p.2
2 2 CSTB2001 Report Looking Over the Fence at Networks: A Neighbor's View of Networking Research By Computer Science & Telecommunications Board (CSTB), National Research Council of US Published in 2001 by National Academy Press, available Addresses Three Broad Areas DM, February 2007, p.3 CSTB 2001 report: First Area Measuring: Understanding the Internet Artifact Challenge of Scale How to infer based on incomplete knowledge of configuration How to soundly sample network traffic, and validity of sampling approach Measurement Infrastructure Deployment and operational challenges Nontechnicalfactors Compose of production commercial systems E.g., Confidentiality and privacy of data DM, February 2007, p.4
3 3 CSTB 2001 Report: Second Area Modeling: New Theory for Networking Performance: E.g., What sort of change in the scale and traffic pattern lead to a performance meltdown? Theoretical foundations in flow-level modeling, aggregration/deaggregation, micro/macro level interaction Beyond Performance: Concern for manageability, reliability, robustness, and evolvability new basic understanding and theory Applying Theoretical Techniques to Networking Understand convergence properties New routing algorithms taking real-world constraints (e.g. absence of complete information) DM, February 2007, p.5 CSTB 2001 Report: Third Area Making disruptive prototypes ( Innovator s Dilemma ) A Disruptive technology can do a few things very well but may not do some very well compared to present technology Example, RISC architecture (from computer architecture world) Developing disruptive prototypes that challenge the current Internet E.g. Where should the intelligence in the network reside? DM, February 2007, p.6
4 4 Trouble with Success (CSTB 2001 Report) os si fi ca tion := The process of becoming set in a rigidly conventional pattern, as of behavior, habits, or beliefs (American Heritage Dictionary) Intellectual ossification E.g., it s not TCP! Infrastructure ossification What researchers want may not be deployed in a commercial network (e.g., limited multicast deployment, QoS) System ossification Research results judged based on how hard it is to deploy on the Internet DM, February 2007, p.7 CSTB2001 Report To Summarize Very well done Over five years old Current Internet view/improvement What s Missing? Wireless networking Optical networking Delivery/Access networks (e.g., Cable/DSL Networks) Interaction of different networks Network security DM, February 2007, p.8
5 5 Network Research: Two Broad Categories: Current networks & related research To imagine future networks/services & related research Influence of External/ Overnight Factors DM, February 2007, p.9 Current Networks-Related Research How to measure/model behavior Driven by limitations How to improve Due to scalability issues, operational problems Traffic engineering Network reconfigurability Security DM, February 2007, p.10
6 6 Research Trends: Current Networksrelated: A Few Examples Scalability (in every way thinkable! routing table lookup, network models, ) Internet measurement, sampling Backbone Networks Access Networks Protocol extensibility Routing: BGP, inter-network traffic engineering Integration of traditional IP networks and PSTN/multimedia services DM, February 2007, p.11 Future Networking or Services: Research, Technology Concepts & Development Some Recent Examples: (~last 20 years) Networks: ATM, MPLS, Optical networking Cellular Networks, 3GPP, WiMAX Services: WWW, P2P, IM, text messaging Associated protocol development, modeling, routing, security, May or may not be commercially successful DM, February 2007, p.12
7 7 Research Trend: Future Networks/Services and related research Networks/Services: MPLS/GMPLS Virtual Private Networking Sensor Networks Software Radio Service Concept Development IP Multimedia SubSystem (IMS) Secure Group Communication Faces issues such as MAC protocol, performance modeling, security as built-in feature, protocol development, performance etc DM, February 2007, p.13 External/ Overnight Factor Something an architecture wasn t originally intended for, but is forced to handle DM, February 2007, p.14
8 8 TCP Collapse TCP throughput drop (1986) Led to new congestion control/timer adjustment approach Key here is on understanding the dynamics Sliding-window, window-adjustment, timeradjustment, sampling, DM, February 2007, p.15 Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks Network functionality allowed the possibility for DoS attack First wave : Web-server oriented Next wave : network impact (e.g. code-red virus) Follow-up Research TCP accept queue, OS implementation etc Source-oriented ( stop close to the source ) Router-level research: IPprefix lookup DM, February 2007, p.16
9 9 IP Network Traffic Engineering issues for large providers OSPF/IS-IS: dynamic routing protocol Problem: determine link weights in OSPF/IS- IS networks to load balance a network Early-exit/Late-exit routing issues Router Buffer sizing: Bandwidth-delay product Consider 40 Gbps link and 250 ms round-trip delay DM, February 2007, p.17 Routing Table Growth CIDR IP address lookup algorithms Need to stay with line rate (approaching 40Gbps) Packet Filtering and classification DM, February 2007, p.18
10 10 Router Architecture evolution General purpose computer architecture Different architectures for different purposes Shared CPU architectures Shared forwarding engine architectures Shared nothing architectures Clustered architectures DM, February 2007, p.19 Router Architectures DM, February 2007, p.20
11 11 Needs/Issues in Networking Research Recap: Current networks-related research Future networks/services-related research External factor that drives research (often for current networks; however, principles might be useful for future networks) Issues: To highlight a few examples DM, February 2007, p.21 Broadband Access Technology and Service Dynamics Broadband access Technology (DSL, Cable Modem) designed for web model Lot of download bandwidth Not much upstream bandwidth Challenge faced (last few years) P2P services: Napster, VoIP services DM, February 2007, p.22
12 12 Broadband Access Technology and Service Dynamics (cont d) Can we design an access mechanism that is dynamically adjustable between upstream and downstream Time-Division Duplexing (TDD)? Others? Require solid knowledge of physical, data link, and transport layer? Questions: How well will the dynamics work? How does it impact service behavior? Where is the tradeoff? Are there possible pitfalls due to dynamism? And How to handle them? (recall: lesson learned from Telephone dynamic routing, TCP congestion, ) DM, February 2007, p.23 Core Network Interactions: Multi- Layer Networking Dynamics If IP layer link setting is dynamically adjustable to address for failure If optical networking handles its own dynamic routing (GMPLS) Good for each network, may not be good together? Can the inter-related network go into tailspin? How does DoS attack based increase in network traffic impact dynamic adjustability? How do we know good from bad traffic (e.g., a new P2P product popularity, or a new DoS attack)? DM, February 2007, p.24
13 13 Routing table growth Data source: Our recent estimate: N = (4 Y ) , for Y >=2002 DM, February 2007, p.25 Routing table growth: problems Internet Architecture Board: Routing and addressing workshop (reported at IETF67, San Diego, CA, Nov 06) TCAM/SRAM for routers slow growth ASIC is already pushing limits Memory speed improves about 10% per year State growth is super-linear Current trends in the growth are not scalable Use of IP addresses for both ID and Location is a problem Sort of second CIDR wave, but more difficult DM, February 2007, p.26
14 14 Future Directions: Developing disruptive prototypes that challenge the current Internet How to do it? Not possible to test over the current Internet It s a production network! Retro-fitting is difficult (remains patch-work problem) DM, February 2007, p.27 Steps to Making it happen.. NSF s new research program: FIND (Future Internet Design) Inviting proposals on radical architectural directions GENI (Global Environment for Networking Innovations) A large-scale proposed test-bed for experimentation Experimentation in every layer of the network Customized hardware development Test before deploy time environment Allow many researchers to participate Alliance with European Community DM, February 2007, p.28
15 15 How to ensure that all problems are addressed Classify problems: Wired/wireless, Core/Access Core Networks Some idea because of IETF, NANOG (e.g. BGP problem, addressing growth ) Access Networks Cable/Modem, wireless Campus/Enterprise Networks Need input from community Security/Resilience as inherent design paradigm DM, February 2007, p.29 Finally, at a Fundamental Level Is there a new network communication mode out there? Consider time spacing: + Between Telegraphy and Telephony: ~50 years + Between Telephony and Internet: ~100 years + Between Internet and?? - Will everything now onward be incremental? - How to not get trapped in ossification?

Confused about ability groups(16 Posts)
Whoops, I made the rookie error of posting this in AIBU by mistake! i will try again!
DS is in a standard state primary, 30 in a class. He is in Y3 and they are in ability groups for literacy and maths. He is a summer born but has always been way ahead in reading/writing. Up to now he has always been in top literacy group. He is still progressing well as far as we can tell but he is no longer in the top group.
I feel a bit disappointed in this as the top group now get additional input/tuition from the SENCO so I am concerned that if he isn't in the top group now and getting the extra help the gap wil only widen and he will never be able to move up. Is that a true reflection if how it works? His teacher said he was a 3C and would be expected to be 3A by the end of the year. Wouldn't that normally be top group level I wonder?
I do feel for him as he struggles with maths but has always been hot on literacy and now feels he has been demoted he isn't good at anything, which is ridiculous as I think he is still way above average no?
I think you can only really ask the teacher. Groups have to be fluid and whilst he was a 3c at the end of last year it is possible that they have assessed other children as being higher than him. Children do develop at different rates and some of those who have been in the second group might now have pulled off ahead of him.
I would be surprised if the top group really get that much more input, certainly don't in my daughter's school (although mine are younger).
I think personally that you should speak to the teacher from the point of view of reassuring him he hasn't been demoted, he has just been placed in a group with others who are working at the same level/rate as him and that it doesn't matter what the other groups are doing.
When kids used to be streamed at school I think that it often helped for children to be top of the second group rather than bottom of the top group and it could be partly to do with ability of the other children or it could be that they think it would be better for his confidence or that there are some things they need him to work on/revise which the others have already mastered.
Whether your child is in the top group depends on the rest of the class! 3C is good, but not absolutely stellar - it's quite possible that there are 5 or 6 children (depending on size of group) that are working at a higher level.
Also it may be that groups over lap - so the top of the 2nd group may be identical to the bottom of the top group - but a better place for some children (e.g. they may take longer to grasp concepts or prefer to work at a slower pace).
something else which I have already started to notice in my daughter's yr1 class is that the EAL children are now starting to catch up the 'only english speaking' children and in some cases seriously overtaking them. Obviously this can take a few years to come about and so it may well be that at the end of Yr2 some children who are bi or trilingual have now overtaken others in writing. It is quite common I believe and I suspect there will be a few of the top group in my daughter's class will be 'demoted' fairly soon to be replaced by some incredibly bright children who were a little slower due to learning more than one language but who are extremely capable. As they develop their skills and confidence in English they can make quite dramatic jumps in groups.
3c is middle group at our school.
There is very little difference between the top 2 groups and there can be reasons like personality which determines which group has which children. Eg. Shy children being split from bossy alpha characters etc.
Groups are usually fluid and maybe there's a logistical reason like it being easier to have 5 groups of 6 for literacy rather than groups of 8,5,7,6,6 or the teacher moving your son away from a group of 5 girls to a mixed group.
Level 3 a at the end of year 3 may not be that high. Many children will be at this level at the end of year 2 but I do not know the ability of the children in his class to know how many will have been 3a in year 2. Do you know? With very good progress you could reasonably expect him to be 5c by SATs time whereas some will be 5a or 5b. It is maybe these are the children who have been selected. Are they thinking some of these children could reach level 6? Also rates of progress are not an exact science and some progress more quickly than others. I would ask for clarification however as it can be de motivating when children are not chosen and the school seem to have singled children out rather early in my view. Also you can do quite a lot to keep his interest going. Do lots of reading, work on his comprehension of reading and definitely work on writing and spelling. You can probably replicate what the SENCO is doing anyway. Children's reading ages come on by leaps and bounds when they are exposed to very many books and discuss them with an adult. He is doing well, by the way!
Thanks all. A few interesting points there. I have just relooked at the SATS for KS2 and it appears that 38% achieved a level 3 in reading and 19% in writing, so looks like a cohort of high achievers! (this is a school that is in Special Measures by the way and has been slated for its reading levels ironically!).
This came out of parents evening yesterday and it was his teacher who said the top group get taken out to do extra work with the SEN teacher. I don't think we asked enough questions to be honest. Will be better prepared for next parents eve.
Good to hear that the groups are fluid though. I guess we just have to keep encouraging him at home and reassuring him that he IS doing well.
It might be worth taking a look at precisely what criteria the teacher is using to score the children on.
I don't know the criteria. But if, for the sake of argument, she had previously been using recognition and pronunciation of multisyllabic tricky words and punctuation and is now using comprehension and context to score the children on, it may be the case that your child has improved markedly on his last year's performance in literacy but is just being marked on a subset of abilities which are not as well developed. And conversely, children who appeared less well developed last year are now appearing to perform better because they're being scored on different criteria this year.
If you feel you have some more questions which have arisen as a result of parents evening then I really don't think the teacher would mind you asking to speak to her/him about them. The next parents evening is presumably Feb ish which is a long time away if you have some queries.
If the school is in special measures then that could possibly be why the SENCO is involved with the top group or it could be that someone/some children in the top group have some additional needs and it has been decided this is the best way to do it. It may be that the second group are doing exactly the same work anyway.
Just to add that my DS1 was taken out of the top group last year and put in the one below for both maths and literacy because despite working at the same level as the others in the group he got really stressed by it and was constantly playing catch up to 3 very high achieving boys which was doing his confidence no good at all.
He has absolutely thrived in the "lower' group and has made amazing progress...he could easily be in the top but in his face its definitely better to be the top of the other group rather than the bottom of the higher one-if that makes any sense at all?
To give you an idea of levels at the end of Y3 he was a 3a for literacy and a 4c for maths.
Thank you for your replies.
There is no norm what is the level for the 'top group' it will depend on the ability of the cohort.
I think the most important is dealing with your DS's perception and talking to the teacher will help with this. The most important thing is that he being taught at an appropriate level for his ability.
Agree with iheartttc, DS (now yr4 - also summer born) has always been in the top group (since yr1) but last year in yr3 he spent some of the year in the second group for numeracy because he found 2 kids too lively when the group was working together as a team and they would not listen to him (DS is v shy).
He ended the year on 3As (numeracy bordering on 4C) and now in yr4 he is a 4C in numeracy.
Sometimes it can be a confidence builder/boost but yr3 is the year that other kids suddenly catch up IMO.
In my experience, ability groups are not fluid. Maybe 2-3 children per class move from any one group to any other, per year, but I don't think this is very fluid. I don't see how easy/ practical can be to move a child up a group, especially in Maths, when the group above is usually much more advanced in terms of topics covered.
When people say 'literacy' here are they talking about reading or writing or an average of both?
quite fluid in my experience, especially in y3-4. Personality conflicts can come into groups, too. Even in Secondary there is meant to be a fair amount of overlap in ability from one set to the next.
