Increased functional safety is a 'Must Have' in networked embedded designs
Post a comment
Let's take our example design and look at how we can significantly improve reliability by using the redundancy techniques previously described. Figure 2 below shows the changes to the example system. In order to improve network reliability we added redundant Ethernet connections to the upstream node and the downstream node. The new redundant power subsystem helps recover from a failure in the main supply. Power will switch over to a redundant supply if the main supply fails. The System Controller and Equipment Controller are now each implemented using a Dual Modular Redundancy (DMR) technique, as illustrated in the 'blow-up' of the Equipment Controller (The System Controller would use a similar technique). The controller functions are duplicated and compare logic is added to identify any outputs that do not 'agree'. When such an error is detected the subsystem responsible for the error can be reset and diagnostics performed. This mitigates the chance of the error resulting in a system failure. Note that the dual implementations of the System Controller use a design diversity technique. One controller is implemented with an MCU and the other is implemented with an FPGA. This provides additional reliability since each implementations error characteristics will be significantly different and thus the chance of a common systematic error (for example their response to noise, temperature, voltage, timing differences or even implementation 'bugs') will be significantly reduced.

Using Microsemi SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs
When implementing the example design from Figure 2, it would be possible to use separate components for the FPGA implementation of the controller, the MCU implementation and the Compare Logic blocks. These extra components will create new possibilities for errors and system failures however. An approach that integrates all of these functions into a single device has advantages to the system designer, namely better MTBF due to the reduction of components, better cost, and now the ability to drive functional safety into smaller systems. The Microsemi SmartFusion2 architecture, shown in Figure 3, has a hardened ARM-Cortex™-M3 based Microcontroller Subsystem (MSS) and sufficient FPGA logic to integrate the entire Dual Equipment Controller in a single device, keeping component count the same as our initial, non-redundant, implementation. A SmartFusion2 device would be used for the Dual System Controller as well where a single device could integrate the entire function. Additionally, SmartFusion2 has multiple SerDes channels (up to 16) so that the Ethernet Switch could even be implemented in a single SmartFusion2 device using less signaling between the MAC and the physical layer than standard Mac/Phy interfaces.. This would allow additional redundancy, error checking and advanced error recovery mechanisms to be included in the switch to create a more reliable design than those available in an ASSP.

(Click Here to see a larger, more detailed version of this image)
A SmartFusion2 design also benefits from other reliability advantages like zero FIT-rate configuration memory (due to its Flash memory implementation), SEU protected memories, SECDED support for external memory controllers and built-in self-test. SmartFuson2 devices don't require an external configuration device so this reduces component count and thus improves reliability. Additionally, SmartFusion2 devices have very low static power consumption, a unique ultra low power Flash Freeze mode (that can be used to preserve the state of the FPGA while stopping dynamic operation) and a very low start-up current requirement (unlike SRAM based FPGA implementations, which have a large start-up current 'spike'). These low power features can result in a smaller and less complex power supply requirements, further improving system reliability.
Protecting the system during remote reprogramming updates and upgrades requires a secure communications channel for the FPGA configuration data and MCU code. SmartFusion2 devices are programmed with a Differential Power Analysis (DPA) hardened bit stream protocol. Because of this the built-in security features of the SmartFusion2 device can be used to ensure remotely sourced configuration bitstreams are protected from unauthorized observation and hacking.
Security is an aspect of functional safety that is new. From a security perspective functional safety can broadly be defined as being secure in the knowledge that what you designed and built performs the intended functions to an acceptable FIT rate. This article focused mainly on design however there is an equal important aspect to functional safety and that is supply chain and manufacturing assurance. Supply chain assurance is a guarantee that the components you are buying are genuine. Manufacturing assurance is a guarantee that the system built is genuine. SmartFusion2 devices have unique features that can aid the systems designer in achieving these goals. Each device is shipped with an embedded x.509 digitally signed device certificate that contains the complete part number, date code and device version. The device certificate can be read during manufacturing and compared to the purchase order verifying that a genuine Microsemi SoC FPGA has been placed on the PCB. During manufacturing programming of the device a Certificate of Conformance can be generated that cryptographically verifies that the device was programmed with the intended bitstream. These 2 items can aid the systems designer in proving the veracity of the system being built.
In the example system there may be additional requirements for security to protect your design IP. For example, it may be important to protect the manufacturing flow and to include anti-tampering features. The single chip nature of the SmartFusion2 implementation protects against attempts to reverse engineer the design. An AES key protects the programming bit stream and also controls the number of units that can be programmed. This protects the design against cloning and overbuilding by our manufacturing subcontractors. A zeroization feature, where the programmed design information can be quickly erased, can help create a very robust anti-tampering mechanism.

Excellent Guest House, highly recommended
Cannot fault this place.
Lovely little guest house, very clean, tidy, nice decor, friendly owner, excellent breakfast.....if I had to be critical, I could say that the attic room was a little small, but was certainly adequate for my 1 night stay. I would certainly stay here again.

Mayweather Sr: Floyd Jr. will beat Guerrero; he's too smart for him
By Chris Williams: Floyd Mayweather Sr. believes his son Floyd Jr. will be far too intelligent for WBC interim welterweight champion Robert Guerrero (31-1-1, 19 KO's) to figure out in their fight on May 4th. Floyd Sr. says he sees his fighting Guerrero on this date, and he doesn't see how he can lose.
Floyd Sr. said to 8countnews.com "I think Floyd wins. Little Floyd is too smart for him. Anyway you want to look at it, Floyd is too smart for him. Andre Berto got beat up by Guerrero because he didn't know what he was doing. Berto should have fought like he fights, not like how Floyd fights. He needs to fight his game, not Floyd's."
Mayweather Jr. is much better at using the shoulder roll defense and won't make the same mistakes that Berto did in his loss to Guerrero in November. Berto looked like he didn't know what he was doing against Guerrero, and instead of using his own fighting stance, Berto adopted the Mayweather shoulder roll for the first time in his career. The result was disastrous. He ended up learning into the southpaw Guerrero's left hands and was badly hurt on at least two occasions in the fight. Berto also ended up getting both of his eyes badly swollen.
Guerrero says he can box or slug it out and he'll adapt to whatever is there for him when he faces Mayweather. Boxing Mayweather probably won't work, so we could see Guerrero reverting to the physical style that he used against Berto with the holding & hitting. Trying to rough Mayweather up might be the only chance that Guerrero has to win, and don't be surprised if that's what he falls back on if things start looking bleak.
Guerrero doesn't have the hand speed or the pinpoint accuracy that Mayweather possesses. What Guerrero does have is a high work rate and a smothering style of fighting on the inside. Against Mayweather, we'll likely see Guerrero use both.

|Assigned Interventions
|periacetabular osteotomy
Procedure: Periacetabular osteotomy
osteotomy of the pelvis to increase acetabular coverage
Other Name: PAO
Detailed Description:
As a consequence of periacetabular osteotomy the blood flow in acetabulum is decreased. After periacetabular osteotomy has been performed there is fine contact between the osteotomised acetabulum and the rest of the pelvis and the potential for healing is good. However, it has not been investigated how much the blood flow in acetabulum is changed after surgery. The blood flow is considered to be vital for how the pelvis heals after surgery. Most likely, the blood flow is important in relation to which degree osteoarthritis can be prevented after periacetabular osteotomy.
It is possible to estimate the blood flow by Positron Emission Tomography of the dysplastic hip joint pre- and postoperatively. In this study the blood flow and fluoride uptake is quantified by Positron emission tomography based on measurements of O-15 water and F-18 fluoride.

Hi everybody!
I'm sorry but I'm a noob here and I don't know where to post this question:
I'm using Advancemap and pksv as script editor.
I've made so far 3 talking scripts (using script generator of pksv) on the same map, and they work perfectly.
But when I create a 4th talking script on the same map, the person with that script only says the 2nd or 3rd script.
What it's happening and how should I correct this?
Thank you so much in advance for your answer.
Best regards,
Pokemaniaco :P

Somewhere south of good and north of shit (that makes total sense) is this Turkish homage/character-hijack called Supermen Dönüyor (THE RETURN OF SUPERMAN). Directed by the Turkish legend (?) Kunt Tulgar (too easy). Terrible fights, worse effects, and atrocious acting combine to make a masterpiece of shit that I could watch on a loop. There is something oddly charming about this film, maybe it's the sincerity that some of the actors had, or maybe it was just because it isn't SUPERMAN III. Fuck you Richard Lester.

This is our second addition to our Fall Full Series. In this series so far is Vanilla Cinnamon Oobleck. Make sure to check back frequently for more fall fun activities!
Edible Pumpkin Pie Play Dough is fun for all ages! I recommend this activity for children six-months and older. Since it is edible you don't have to worry about your baby injesting anything toxic.
This post contains affiliate links. Here is my full disclosure policy.
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (you can add more for a stronger scent and flavor)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup of flour
Invitation to Play
After I made my Pumpkin Pie Play Dough I stored it in the refrigerator. When I was ready to let my kids play with it I allowed it to thaw in a baggy for a couple hours. I decided to set up the play dough with plastic utensils, popsicle sticks, cinnamon, and Honey Nut Cheerios.
First thing they went for was the cinnamon. I have to admit they ignored the play dough for awhile after while they munched on some Cheerios.
I decided to show them that they could stick the popsicle sticks into the play dough. They seemed to like that.
Pushing Cheerios into the dough added a fine motor component to their play.
They started to get antsy and were saying "all done" so I showed them that they could take their dough and make balls. They weren't able to do it on their own at 22-months-old so I made the balls for them and they spent a good 15-20 minutes playing with the little dough balls.
My daughter actually tasted one of them. She gave it a little taste and said "Mmm!" while shaking her head up and down.
Have fun with this tasty fun activity. I hope that your children enjoy it as mine did!

Great Vacation, but Celebrity Disappointing: Celebrity Constellation Cruise Review by Pabbboo
Overall Member Rating
Great Vacation, but Celebrity Disappointing
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Embarkation could not have been better. It took about one minute for the negative issues to arise after that.
As soon as you step on the ship, you are greeted with Champagne, a nice touch. Also you are welcomed with some base thumping club music at a very loud volume. Before I could tune this obnoxious garbage out, I enjoyed hearing the word "S***" in the chorus. Very classy. The DJ was some young guy with a skinny beard wearing headphones with only one ear covered. He really thought he was Joe Cool. He was an idiot.
Went to the room by 1:00pm. Concierge balcony. Very More clean, stateroom attendant Moreno was great throughout.
Ocean Liners, Tuscan Grill both nice, worth the money in my opinion. Our Main Dining Room experience was just OK. We were looking forward to having a two person table as requested. Again, just wanted to relax alone on this trip. We sat down and I kid you not, the other table was three inches away from ours! It was incredibly awkward because we knew the people next to us wanted to be alone also, so we just ignored each other. Ate there twice, waiters were average, food was average. Buffet was standard poor cruise fare youd expect to find.
Went to the pool on the first sea day (or at least tried). THE POOL AREA IS TERRIBLE! Could not get a chair due to chair hogs and selfish people saving them all. Found a chair on the front of the boat eventually. Went down by pool around noon to cool off in the water. We arrived in time to see/hear the following: The same stupid poolside games with the speaker volume pumped way too loud you see everywhere else. There are two pools. The first was surrounded by adults with their feet in the water, so the pool was empty because no one could get in. The second pool was about 8ft by 8ft, and full of people because no one could get in the other one. BY the way at 1230 on sea days (probably the busiest time of the day), the have some stupid volleyball game so you cant use the crowded pool if you wanted to. There is alot of wasted space by the pool because they have a stage and dance area for the loud bad music and stupid games.
So, you cant go in the pool, you cant get a chair, so what next.....Daiquiris of course! Well good luck with that too. There is no poolside wait staff, and the bar staff is terrible. Overworked and lazy is a bad combo. Once you get your frozen drink, expected some blend in a cheap plastic cup that looks like something my 5 yr old should get soda in. If your lucky you will get some Rum dumped on top to make the drink taste terrible. No garnish or anything.
Entertainment was awful. Cruise director was nowhere to be seen, except at his concert where he sang because he must think hes good. We walked out of first show, Comedian terrible, musician was awful. The lounge music/house bands we saw were all pretty bad. Every entertainer we saw seemed like a Saturday Night Live skit, it did not seem real.
If you are looking forward to Michaels Club..dont..because it isn't open. I was told it was a private club now, and this was the first cruise that was the case.
Despite the above issues, we asked about future cruises. They said the benefit of booking on board was an increased onboard credit and to get a beverage package. I even questioned the guy and said we can get the drink package on the internet and he told me, nope, it just got taken off the internet since we were on the boat. Hey guess what..its still available on internet.
Ok, that was long enough. In conclusion, we had a nice time, the cruise ship wasn't as bad as I made it sound. The atmosphere on Celebrity is the same as any other line, it is not upscale. Id try another Celebrity cruise on their bigger ships to check them out, but my next cruise certainly will be with someone else. Less

Temper is a word used to denote a variety of qualities. It derives from Temperare (to mix correctly) the Latin origin of words like "temperature" and "tempering"; it and "tempo" come, in turn, from tempus (time or season). Thus, the word "temper" can refer (at least informally) to any time- and temperature-sensitive process, a material's thermo-mechanical history, or even its composition.

how long can you leave a revolver loaded
This might be a stupid question, but how long can one expect to keep a cap and ball pistol loaded and still depend on it to do the job at hand? I mean like on the night stand or something not out in the weather every day.
Do you have to fire it and clean it every so often?
Hope this helps
The old timers used to seal with bees wax or a mixture to protect load and would be left almost indefinately. The cap is purely depenent on dry storage
As long as you want to.
a little crisco and wax you could probably go swimmin
I'd say as long as its loaded properly, the same amount of time as you keep your cartridge ammo.
Air and moisture will leak into the charge around the nipple and cap and eventually weaken the charge. I wouldn't keep a cap and ball revolver loaded more than a week in humidities above 30%.
Black powder also contains high amounts of sulfur which will produce sulfuric acid if exposed to moisture.
Robert E. Lee's 51 Navy was fired 7 years after his death and all six rounds went off without a hitch. I found an original 58 Remington in an old dilapidated barn fully loaded. The powder was fine.
I left my Ruger Old Army loaded for 2 1/2 years (cap, powder, wonder wad, ball) and it fired on all six with no problem. Checked the cylinder after cleaning and found no signs of damage.
This does not mean it's a good idea. I've seen many others that were a complete mess because moisture got in and wasn't taken care of. You should always, without fail, clean any black powder firearm after firing, and when you're done for the day, why reload?
Moisture can get in, and if this happens it can ruin an otherwise fine day of hunting. It can also make a mess of the chambers of your firearm. Black powder does not behave well when wet, and even a tiny bit of moisture will rust and pit the chambers. Clean and store the firearm empty. You can reload when you're ready to fire it again.
I leave my black powder revolver loaded for 2 or 3 months at a time in my night stand and have never had a problem . my 1858 uberti is my favorite pistol.

There has been a trend over the last couple of seasons with the Colorado Avalanche of late bloomers finding an NHL home with the team. Defensemen Nick Holden and Andre Benoit, two players who fit that bill, have already been discussed on Avalanche 101. Another player, forward Patrick Bordeleau, has recently done the same.
Bordeleau has found a niche that has enabled him to make it to the NHL and stick with the Avalanche. He is what you could call a prototypical enforcer. He plays on the fourth line and makes his living by physically punishing opponents in order to create chances for his teammates and disrupt chances for the opposition. Most of Bordeleau's efforts don't appear on the score sheet, but he has a clear role and he fills it well.
Like a couple of his teammates, it took a very long time for Bordeleau to break into the NHL. Although he has immense size at 6'6" and 225 pounds, he doesn't have outstanding talent, and it is especially difficult for players of that mold to make it to the highest level of pro hockey. Although enforcers are needed, a team only needs a couple of players who have that particular role. The demand for them isn't as high as the demand for players whose skills allow them to rack up points. So Bordeleau played in the minors for quite a while before donning an Avalanche sweater.
Between the AHL and the even lower level ECHL, Bordeleau played for nine different minor league teams from 2007 to 2012. He didn't move around nearly as far as Andre Benoit, but he certainly moved around more often. But now he has honed his craft to the point where he has become a regular contributor for the Avalanche. Over the last two seasons, Bordeleau has played in 128 out of 130 regular season games for Colorado, and all seven playoff games last April. At this point, it is safe to say that he is an established NHL player.
Since Bordeleau has been in the Avalanche lineup night in and night out for back to back years, we can reasonably project that he will continue in his current role for the foreseeable future. He has endeared himself to a certain segment of Avalanche fans by being an example of how it is possible to make it to the big league without being a prodigy. Fans love to see him use his size and toughness to bring a different element to the game of hockey than what most players bring. He has what some might call an "average joe" appeal that makes him relatable for some fans. But while his overall talent level may be average, there is nothing average about the heart with which he plays or the heaviness with which he asserts himself on the ice.Tags: Andre Benoit, Colorado, Colorado Avalanche, Hockey, NHL, Nick Holden, Patrick Bordeleau

Carlson's 3-pointer caps OT thriller
Alyssa Carlson's 3-pointer with 14 seconds to play in the second overtime lifted the Park Rapids girls basketball team to a 74-70 victory over Walker-Hackensack-Akeley Thursday night at the Area High School gym.
The win snapped a 16-game losing streak for the Panthers in a game that saw eight ties and 19 lead changes.
"The girls could have given up, but they haven't. They've been coming to practice and they've been working hard," said Park Rapids head coach John Schumacher, whose team improved to 2-16 on the season. "They deserve this win for all the hard work they've done in every practice and in every game."
Park Rapids jumped out to an early lead as a basket off a rebound by Hailey Lundin, jumpers by Carson Lee Christenson and Hannah Wolff, and a layup by Christenson produced a 10-5 advantage with 11:21 to play in the first half.
Two inside baskets by Ashley Domino and a jumper and 3-pointer by Wolff kept the Panthers in front 19-14 with 7:08 remaining.
Back-to-back 3-pointers by Ashley Harrison gave W-H-A a 22-19 lead at the 5:59 mark before the Panthers responded with an 11-2 run to reclaim the lead. Two inside baskets by Anna Grimes, jumpers by Christenson and Sophie Shogren, and a 3-pointer by Carlson gave Park Rapids a 30-24 lead with 2:04 to play in the first half.
The Wolves ended the half with an 8-1 run to carry a 32-31 lead into the break.
A layup by Lundin and a jumper by Domino gave the Panthers a 35-32 lead at the start of the second half before two more 3-pointers by Harrison gave the Wolves a 44-40 edge with 11:44 to play.
Both teams traded baskets the rest of the way.
Two baskets by Wolff tied the game at 45-45 with 8:58 remaining and a 3-pointer by Wolff knotted the game at 48-48 with 6:32 left.
A pair of free throws by Olivia Vaadeland gave the Panthers a 53-52 lead at the 4:16 mark. After a jumper by Christenson gave Park Rapids a 55-54 lead with 3:44 left, a basket off a rebound by Wolff with 1:20 left tied the game at 58-58.
Neither team scored during the remainder of regulation play.
In the first overtime, W-H-A jumped out to a 61-58 lead before jumpers by Carlson and Christenson and a free throw by Lundin gave the Panthers a 63-61 lead with 30 seconds remaining. Mackenzie Piprude hit two free throws with 19 seconds left to force a second overtime.
Christenson gave the Panthers a 68-65 lead midway through the second four-minute extra session by hitting a free throw, making a jumper and feeding Vaadeland for a layup off a steal.
Two free throws by Wolff gave Park Rapids a 70-68 lead with 49 seconds left before Ciera Clyde's jumper tied the game at 70-70 with 35 seconds remaining.
After a timeout, Carlson hit her game-winning 3-pointer before Wolff made a free throw with :05 remaining to seal the win.
Wolff led the Panthers with 24 points and 12 rebounds while Christenson added 13 points. Domino (9), Carlson (8), Vaadeland (7) and Lundin (6) combined for another 30 points. Lundin and Domino grabbed nine rebounds each while Vaadeland had seven rebounds. Carlson dished out three assists.
Harrison scored 17 points for the Wolves, who fell to 13-9.

Parents: 19 Meaningful Questions You Should Ask Your Child's Teacher
Back-to-school content is usually focused on teachers and students, and as these two groups will have the largest workload ahead of them, that makes sense.
But for students, the ultimate support system is not an expert teacher, but an informed and supportive family. One of the most significant challenges facing formal education in the United States is the chasm separating schools and communities. The more informed a family is, the more seamlessly they'll connect to so many other edu-constructs, from extracurricular activities and tutoring to reading programs and school-related events.
While schools (hopefully) work to update themselves and the way students learn within them, many parents have to work with what's available to them. With the exception of in-depth content like Edutopia's guides, much of the "parent stuff" you'll find through Googling is decent enough, but it can be surface level or otherwise completely unrelated to process of learning. Some common examples:
- "Ask them what they did today."
- "Help them with homework."
- "Help them with separation anxiety."
- "Talk to them about their struggles."
- "Get them a tutor."
But these kind of topical interactions aren't always enough, nor do they do anything at all to create transparency between schools and communities.
So, in pursuit of that transparency, below are some questions to better clarify what's happening in the classroom, and then help you decide on the kind of non-superficial actions you can perform at home to truly support the learning of your child. Many of the questions may seem a bit direct, but I don't know any teachers who would take offense to them. In fact, most of my colleagues would welcome the kind of added capacity that questions like these could lead to. Many of these questions are rarely the subject of parent-teacher interactions, but -- well, that's kind of the point.
Just don't ask them all at once. In fact, maybe pick two and hope for the best.
19 Questions Your Child's Teacher Would (Probably) Love to Answer
- What academic standards do you use, and what do I need to know about them?
- How will you respond if or when my child struggles in class?
- What are the most important and complex (content-related) ideas my child needs to understand by the end of the year?
- Do you focus on strengths or weaknesses?
- How are creativity and innovative thinking used on a daily basis in your classroom?
- How is critical thinking used on a daily basis in your classroom?
- How are assessments designed to promote learning rather than simple measurement?
- What can I do to support literacy in my home?
- What kinds of questions do you suggest that I ask my children on a daily basis about your class?
- How exactly is learning personalized in your classroom? In the school?
- How do you measure academic progress?
- What are the most common instructional or literacy strategies you will use this year?
- What learning models do you use (e.g., project-based learning, mobile learning, game-based learning, etc.), and what do you see as the primary benefits of that approach?
- What are the best school or district resources that we should consider using as a family to support our child in the classroom?
- Is there technology you'd recommend that can help support my child in self-directed learning?
- What are the most common barriers you see to academic progress in your classroom?
- How is education changing?
- How do you see the role of the teacher in the learning process?
- What am I not asking but should be?

I'm a middle school teacher who tries to teach language arts to 180 students EACH day. If a parent started asking me all those questions I don't know what I'd do. Even if they emailed me.
Perhaps, PERHAPS, an elementary teacher could take the time to talk to 25-30 parents in depth, but even then, I sort of think "get over yourself."
I'm a good teacher who cares. I work 10-hour days regularly and most weekends. (Some call me a great teacher.) I've won awards. Kids return to see me regularly. So, it's not that I'm lazy or ineffective; I'm just realistic.
With 7 quick 10 minute blocks with 5 minute passing periods as the format for our high school back to school night there is no time for parent questions. With a student load of 180 and back to school night happening about 3-4 weeks into the school year I have JUST got about 90% of the kids names memorized. These are interesting questions for teachers to think about as regards reflecting on their teaching practice. A lot of these questions are extremely open ended and would require hours of thought and reflection. Some are not possible to answer without the student engaging in a lot more reflection about their own learning than they are likely to be capable of and giving you the teacher specific feedback. A lot of the questions if they were to be answered appropriately would require a systematic restructuring of the education system in America. Something outside the control of all teachers.
What an interesting list of questions. I liked reading it as a parent and as a teacher.
My question is for the parents: What are you doing at home to support your child's education? Educating is collaborative and it takes more than firing a list of challenging questions and expecting an answer. The type of parent who attends open house, parent teacher conferences, or communicates with the teacher directly already is the type of parent who would ask these questions. And simply asking these questions does not make you a good parent. What this article fails to focus on is what the parents should do with the information from teacher responses. It's a similar concept to new expecting parents who buy baby books about child rearing. Just buying the books doesn't make you a good parent. The fact that you are the type of parent who would buy the books in the first place is part of it, but also what you do with that information. Lastly, at the middle school and high school level, responsibility falls heavily on the student. Parents need to ask: is my child fulfilling their job as the student? How is my child's behavior? It's usually the type of parents who don't ask "this list of questions" whose children are difficult to teach because of behavior and lacking social skills. There needs to be age appropriate accountability and teachers need to know how the parent will support them.
These questions were written by a curriculum coordinator, not someone who interacts with children on a daily basis. These are basically the same questions asked at my last job interview. A parent is not there to interview the teacher for a job - they've already got the job. No parent would seriously use this kind of eduspeak. Parents reading this should ask questions about how the child is performing and socializing both at home and at school, how the parent and teacher can cooperate to support the child in the future, and how they can best stay in touch. There are lots of questions that can be asked along those lines that will lead to real world benefits for the child.
Mr. Foster, I agree with ever word you said. I am a teacher for over 30 years. Many of these questions are hypothetical and are only inviting unnecessary misunderstandings. This will ultimately lead to confrontations where none has to be. Many parents don't understand the dynamics of running a class and will judge you by this one conversation. Of course there has to be transparency and communication with the home. Parents have the right to question if they feel their child are being cared for properly. Most schools have in place procedures for many of these questions. However this list of questions shouldn't be coming from the parents it should be coming from the teacher / school at their initiative. Personally, over the first few days of school I send home letters concerning various classroom procedures.
I already responded to this nonsense. But as I thought more about this blog I think its mr. Heick and his ilk that are part of the problem in education today. Its one thing to be an educated consumer. Its quite another to be thorn in the side of the teacher. I thought of responses I would give to some of these questions and with many I felt like saying, "Oh so now you understand?" Some of these questions I doubt my professor in college could respond to in a way that would satisfy such a parent. Questioning does have a place but not in challenging tone or in a way that undermines the teacher and the school.
Even as a parent I find most of these questions a bit ridiculous. They sound like interview questions and not the the type of questions that would be beneficial to starting a dialogue with my child's teachers. However, I do like questions 9 and 19 and feel they would be beneficial during the two minutes I am allowed questions during the parent/teacher conference. The answers to those questions should allow me to enrich my child's education and support his teachers.
Today's parents do want to know some of these things. I have been on both sides of the desk as most teachers have. I agree the back to school night is not the time for these conceptual questions. These issues might be best explored in a well planned parent engagement program on going throughout the year from which parents,teachers, and students can benefit. Engaged parents want to know how teachers will support their efforts when they try to help the students at home. With the new techniques and processes introduced, parents want to support the school , but also want to know how these new processes will affect their children.
Thank you for this insightful write-up. Parents really have to be on their feet when it comes to their kids' education, especially when it comes to schools for special needs. Having my son go to Aaron School, which is a special needs school, I can claim to have improved as a parent, being much more involved towards my son's growth.

Mexico City -
Two lawmakers from Mexico's leftist Democratic Revolution Party have submitted a proposal to legalise marijuana, just days after similar measures were approved in two US states.
A recent poll suggests most Mexicans oppose the idea.
Mexico has already decriminalised the possession of small amounts of marijuana. But the proposal submitted on Thursday to the lower house of Congress would regulate legal production and distribution of marijuana, with the aim of removing a source of illegal revenue for Mexico's drug cartels.
Legislators in Uruguay have submitted a similar measure.
The Parametria polling firm says an August poll of 500 Mexicans showed 86 percent opposed legalising the drug. The poll had a margin of error of 4.4 percent. - Sapa-AP

Drunken slob of an ad man Joe Doucett (Brolin) is kidnapped from the streets in 1993 and held for 20 years in a hotel room-style prison cell with no windows, no communications and no explanation. When he's suddenly released 20 years later, and tasked with finding out what happened, he starts a vengeful quest for the truth...
When it was first announced, the remake of beloved cult Korean thriller Oldboy was greeted with the usual howls of disgust and claims that it would do a disservice to Park Chan-wook's original. When Spike Lee came aboard and recruited an impressive cast that included Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, Samuel L. Jackson and Sharlto Copley, the tide turned briefly in the other direction. So what is the final result? The truth is, this new Oldboy lies somewhere in between on the quality meter, but still fails to do enough to make it seem entirely necessary.
Lee and writer Mark Protosevich certainly haven't embarrassed themselves with this new interpretation, which takes most of the major beats and bolts on with a few new ideas and character shadings. The essence of the main man's torturous incarceration and his violent campaign to discover what was really behind it remains intact to fuel the film. A few elements – such as the infamous octopus scene – are gone, vanished so as to make something that appeals more to Western audiences than the Korean story. Making up for that is the majority of the ensemble, with Olsen and Imperioli particularly impressive. And it's motored by Brolin's brio, with the actor throwing himself into a role that demands he be destroyed and rebuilt on screen, going from a drunk arse to a scraggily bearded wreck and finally a confused, driven fighting machine. He makes you care about Joe's journey even as you realise how much the man has done to bring all this upon himself with his behaviour. Lee also lets loose in the fight scenes, infusing them with a chaotic, determined and stylish life you wish the rest of the film was similarly able to channel.
Yet, clinging to some of the more outlandish facets (which will not be discussed here for the sake of those who have not seen the 2004 take), Lee's effort feels like a cover band attempt at Park Chan-wook's thriller, one that lost much of the vibrant, boundary-pushing weirdness along the way. And that's despite giving Samuel L. Jackson one of the strangest hairdos he's had since The Spirit.
Lee and his team have made a film that feels worth watching, but those who've seen both will spend a lot of time comparing the two, and "Newboy" comes up wanting.

text: Not much to smile about in today's game. A 0-0 result earns credit to an organized Wilbraham group that defended effectively and stymied our attack. The game was played in the Wilbraham half and there were a number of decent chances, but our girls never really adjusted to the small and bumpy pitch and compounded the problems with poor fundamentals. The few times the defense had to wake up they were solid enough, but our pace, decision-making, and communication were rather poor. We will get back to work tomorrow.

At sometimes the 2 CPUs and hyper threading CPUs it goes to 99 degrees and the fans kick up to like 5000 RPM. Is this normal? I watch my movies on the bed and that happens so I place a book underneath for the fans to breath and the average CPU temperature drops to like 85 degrees. Btw, what's your average temperature for like surfing webs and stuff? How hot does your Mac get when playing games? Does high temperatures like 99 degrees spoil my Mac?

New York Times reporter Michael Luo posted Sunday morning on "The Caucus" blog on his days at the recent Values Voters Summit in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the social conservative lobbying group Focus on the Family, where his Times credentials didn't exactly open doors of welcome.
Cadging about for interviews, Luo discovered once again that not everyone loves the Times.
"When I first met Mrs. Crowe, she had been wary after I identified myself as a reporter from The Times. She confessed her suspicions, saying she watched Bill O'Reilly and harbored serious reservations about The Times. I had, in fact, experienced this kind of wariness, sometimes outright hostility, from nearly every person I stopped to interview at the summit. It had gotten to the point that I was even a bit nervous of approaching anyone for fear of rejection.
"Each time I experienced a new wave of anger toward the paper, I would try various tacks to defuse their hostility. Did they know there was a difference between the editorial and news pages? What about the fact that we get just as much criticism from the left as we do from the right? Did they know how hard we worked to report the news fairly? I would always try to offer an example, or two. If the conversation went further, I might even drop a little bomblet about myself -- would they be surprised to know that I went to church? Almost invariably they were shocked. And that is when I'd jump in to ask their thoughts on the candidates."
Beyond Luo's empty and rather patronizing plea about "how hard we work," it's clear that whatever complaints they direct toward the Times, leftists expect the paper to be in their corner (the comments section of the paper's political blogs have a deep blue tinge). A Rasmussen Reports poll this summer found the Times to be the only media outlet which even liberals acknowledge has a liberal bias.

Common sense
Good faith defense in TCPA class actions makes good business sense
A business, acting in good faith, should not be held hostage to the risk of potentially ruinous penalties for something no company can reasonably prevent.
FedEx faces EEOC suit for failing to accommodate deaf workers
The Commission says that FedEx did not provide sufficient accommodations to those workers, failing to offer sign-language interpretation and closed captioning in their mission-critical communications. This includes onboarding communications like training videos and orientations as well as safety meetings and reviews.
Mitigate risk by deploying social media policies
One of the biggest problems that companies face is that employees have a tendency to intermingle their personal and professional lives when it comes to social media. This creates all sorts of headaches.

BAGHDAD — Warning sirens wail and within seconds rockets and mortars strike — sometimes one or two, other times 10 or more.
The Green Zone in central Baghdad, the relatively secure center of American operations, is again a prime target as American and British diplomats, Iraqi politicians, contractors and others struggle to go about their business — always aware that any time they are outside the most fortified buildings there is a chance to be injured or killed.
The danger has temporarily reshaped life: Green Zone traffic is minimal, few people venture out on the streets and security precautions — always high — have been boosted. Many diplomats and others prefer to bunk on cots in the stone and marble grandeur of the former Saddam Hussein palace that now holds U.S. Embassy offices.
On Thursday, the State Department instructed all Embassy personnel not to leave reinforced structures. A memo sent to embassy staff says employees are required to wear helmets and other protective gear if they must venture outside and strongly advises them to sleep in blast-resistant locations instead of trailers.
Thursday was the fourth day this week that saw rockets and mortars rain on the Green Zone. The volleys on Thursday began in the morning and came in about once an hour well into nightfall.
The attacks are being carried out in tandem with growing clashes between Iraqi government forces and the Mahdi Army militia led by anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
At least one death was reported inside the Green Zone in the latest attacks. Embassy spokeswoman Mirembe Nantongo said a U.S. government employee was killed, but would give no further details until relatives are notified. Another American, a financial analyst who audited contracts in Iraq, was killed Sunday in the zone, the embassy and relatives said this week.
One explosion Thursday ignited a fire in the central area of the zone that sent a massive column of thick, black smoke drifting over the Tigris River.
Military and diplomatic officials would not say what had been hit inside the Green Zone. A U.S. military statement said one civilian was killed and 14 were wounded "in the vicinity" of the protected district.
U.S. military officials said Thursday that among the weapons used in recent attacks on the Green Zone were 107mm rockets made in Iran. One official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information, said they have included rockets stamped with 2007 Iranian manufacture dates.
Washington has accused Iran of funneling weapons to the Shiite militia. Iran denies it.
A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of security concerns, said one round this week hit a main helicopter landing zone used by the U.S. forces, putting it temporarily out of commission. Housing used by some U.S. officials and contractors was also hit, the official said.
"All personnel are required to wear body armor, helmet and protective eyewear any time they are outside of building structures in the International Zone," said embassy spokeswoman Nantongo, using the official name of the area. "Beyond that, we don't discuss our security posture."
Another U.S. official said that personnel — who usually sleep two to a trailer on the embassy grounds — are now sleeping inside the former Saddam palace where their offices are located.
"There are cots everywhere," the U.S. official said. "People are scouting out free couches."
The official — who has been through other attacks — described the recent barrages as "qualitatively different."
"There is a sense of hunkering down for a sustained period of time," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of security restrictions.
The Green Zone is normally a 5-square-mile haven from the war, particularly in recent months as overall violence in Baghdad has dropped. But it is now caught in the widening attacks by forces loyal to al-Sadr to protest a crackdown by the Iraqi government.

So here they are all decked out for Spring:
Daniel Defense/S&W with CTR left
Dan Wesson with CTR right (needs more thought on the sling...)
ArmaLite M15A4 with Nikon 3-9x40 left
ArmaLite M15A4 with Nikon 3-9x40 right
And here's the parts list for both AR builds: (CTR , scope and Vltor/BCM Gunfighter Model 4 charging handle not added yet)
Also I need to doublecheck my math but it's interesting the ArmaLite and Daniel Defense builds came in at almost the same price. Of course there's lots of duplication.
S&W/Daniel Defense build:
Lower Receiver:
Smith&Wesson Model M&P-15 Stripped Lower $130
Stag Lower Parts Kit $65

Lower Total $280

S&W M&P15 MagPul PMAG 30rd Magazine $10
Giles 3-point tactical sling $35
Misc. Total $45 Running Total $971
Each build came in around $850 or so with irons and before optics and miscellaneous add-ons.
Whats the weight on the DD uppered AR?
I need to weigh it on an accurate scale but I'm pretty sure it comes in at 6.5lb without a magazine. Configured the same the ArmaLite comes in at about 7.5 due to about 15 extra ounces for the HBAR.
THats pretty good
Yeah there's a world of difference how these two ARs handle. A lot of weight out front on the ArmaLite.
I'm sure you love your DD build too, mjkeat. You got the same upper then went with the LW rails didn't you?
I'm really liking your DD.
I went 14.5 w/ M4 RIS II. I was going to do the mid MOE but cant seem to part w/ the DD rail. I really enjoy it. Its now my favorite. Its kind of depressing considering the piston gun was the king of the closet and has been over taken by something half its price, lol. I'm tempted to sell it and pick up another DD. However, it was my first so it'll stay.
Id recommend the BC 1.0 for your 16. Its a lot of money but well worth it. I struggled w/ the decision and couldn't be happier. Did a little side by side w/ a PWS FSC556 and it doesn't even compare. BC hands down, even on the lighter weapon it outperformed the PWS comp.
Thanks, mjkeat. I really labored over 16 vs. 14.5" and whether I should go with a lightweight rail. Very tough decisions and no easy answers as you know. At least the lightweight profile was a no brainer for me after having the heavy barreled first AR. Thought about the govt profile but can't see any benefit at least for my application.
The BC is something I need to think about more. At least it's an easy install with the 16" barrel so there's no roadblock to derail me.
I imagine our two rifles compare well, similar weight and handling. Very glad that Smartgunner had that deal last year anyway! I need to track down your thread on your DD and take another look.
I dont think I even made a thread on the DD. Ill check and if not Ill do a build thread. There might be some interest.
Now that Ive gone back to school theres no way I would have been able to get the DD w/o the SG sale.
Yes, definitely interest in your thread!
I like your taste Quentin. I being completely honest when I say I had not checked out your black stick before buying parts for mine.

London, Oct 11 (ANI): England Twenty20 skipper Stuart Broad has said he has no issues with Kevin Pietersen, and is hopeful that the once disgruntled batsman also has no grudges against him.
A friend of Broad was behind setting up of the parody Pietersen Twitter account 'KP Genius' which inflamed matters and forced the Nottinghamshire all-rounder to release a statement through the England and Wales Cricket Board denying any involvement.
Broad is the first senior player to comment publicly since Pietersen agreed to a four-month contract with England.
Asked to clarify his relations with Pietersen, Broad said: "I get on fine with Kev. Whenever we're on tour we have a meal and a beer together. We've played together six years non-stop, won fantastic games and trophies together. I've got no issues with Kev and I hope he'd have no issues with me.
"The important thing is playing well together for England and hopefully we can do that together in the future. It's in the management's hands at the moment but if and when they decide it's right to bring KP back into the changing room, he'll be welcome back. When KP wants to play for England, he's a huge asset to our team."
Pietersen will have face-to-face meetings with teammates as part of any 'reintegration' into the team, The Telegraph reports.
Broad said he has not had any contact since the Headingley Test, but is sure they will "catch up" and that there will be a lot of straight talking done within the team room.
"We pride ourselves on having an honest changing room and I think it's important, if and when he does come back, that it isn't just the senior players who make it fine but that every single individual has their say. The clearer the air, the better it will be." (ANI)

A MOTORIST lost control of his car and ended up in a hedge by a North Yorkshire church.
The blue Vauxhall Corsa left the road on Monday evening and was abandoned in the hedge on the grounds of All Saint's Church in Wighill, near Tadcaster.
North Yorkshire Police were called to the scene at about 8.30am yesterday, and tracked down the owner who arranged the recovery of the car, which suffered minor damage in the crash.
A police spokesman said the 20-year-old driver was not injured in the crash and nobody had been arrested in connection with the incident.
