Wolverines fall to DouglasOct 19, 2013 By Craig Blumenshine, Staff Writer
Three first-half interceptions --one a pick six on Riverton's first offensive play --proved too much to overcome as the Douglas Bearcats topped the Wolverines 40-19 Friday night at Wolverine Field.
With the win, Douglas High School gains the Class 3-A East conference title. Riverton High School falls to 3-1 in conference play and will next battle Lander Valley High School, also 3-1 in league play, in what will determine the second place in the conference and the opportunity to host at least one home playoff game the following week. The loser of the Riverton-Lander game will place third in the Class 3-A East and will have to travel for the first round playoff game.
Because of a Friday conflict with a regional volleyball tournament, the Riverton-Lander game is scheduled for Thursday night at Bill Bush Memorial Stadium in Lander. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
Early error
RHS head coach Pat Patterson said Douglas had been "opportunistic" in capitalizing on its opponent's early mistakes in previous games while also being able to score quickly against the Wolverines on Friday.
After taking the opening kickoff and looking at a first down on Douglas' own 24-yard line, Bearcat Hunter Haman stepped in front of RHS junior quarterback Brandon Fullerton's first pass and zipped up the left sideline for a quick score.
Riverton's tough luck continued on its next possession when the Wolverines were whistled for two consecutive illegal motion penalties and then gave up a Fullerton sack. Despite attempting 10 offensive plays that included a first down, the net of the possession was a negative 6 yards.
"We wanted to protect from the inside out, and we did not do a good job of protecting," Patterson said.
Tristan White drilled a beautiful spiraling 66-yard punt that went into the end zone and gave Douglas the ball at its own 20-yard line to get Riverton out of poor field position.
First RHS score
After holding Douglas on downs twice on the first quarter, Riverton fought back to tie the game at 7-7 when White dashed 33 yards on a draw on the first play of the second quarter for a touchdown.
Douglas answered quickly with a 3-play, 70-yard drive that included a 58-yard pass play from Austyn Matthews to Chance Miller, and a Matthews to Brooks Blake 7-yard touchdown pass.
The Bearcats were up 14-7 at halftime, took the first possession of the second half and marched 61 yards in four plays to up their lead to 21-7.
Second comeback
The Wolverines made a game of it again in the third quarter. After converting a fourth down fake punt with a Fullerton to Caleb Richmond 17-yard pass, senior Austin Patterson, who had substituted for a battered Fullerton at quarterback, ran a bootleg on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line. Dietrik Becker's PAT was blocked, and Riverton trailed 21-13.
Bearcat miscue
Douglas then made a key mistake that opened the door for Riverton. Facing a third and 15 from Riverton's 35-yard line, the snap from Douglas' center flew by Matthews, who was looking at his sideline, and Riverton's Dylan Lewis dived on the ball to give the Wolverines an opportunity to tie.
With Patterson again at quarterback, and Riverton missing its leading rusher White because of a helmet problem, senior Rhett Rogge took a trick-play handoff from Patterson and outran the Bearcat defense to the end zone.
"The fumble-ruski. That is one of the plays I brought with me," Patterson said. "It's a little wrap-around draw at the line of scrimmage. Then Rogge just kind of sat there and then he takes off. It looks like we're running our off-tackle play. They never see it."
The Wolverines try for two was denied, and 21-19 was as close as Riverton would get.
Douglas, which out-gained Riverton 417 yards to 206 yards, amped-up its offense, scored three more times, and walked away with the Class 3-A East conference title.
"Our expectation coming into the season (was a conference title)," Douglas head coach Jay Rhoades said. "We had a strong group of kids coming back, and we have a strong junior class."
The Bearcats, who have 90 athletes in their football program, play Friday at Torrington to end their regular season before having home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
QB decision
As for the Wolverines, Patterson will now evaluate whether a change will be made at quarterback for Thursday's game at Lander.
"Coming into the season, the thought was if they are equal, if it is apples and apples, we need to play the junior (Fullerton) because he's the future," Patterson said. "We subbed because (Fullerton) was hurt. If Austin (Patterson) goes in at quarterback, we can put Brandon (Fullerton) at receiver, and we don't miss a step. We'll have to see how Brandon feels."

Error at shutdown: "remove ioctl on home failed"
My laptop has an SSD and a traditional SATA drive. Each drive has a LUKS volume, which in turn has an LVM volume inside. The LVM on the SSD contains the / and swap mount points, and the LVM on the SATA drive contains the /home mount point.
When I shutdown, one of the last things that happens is I get several lines (maybe 15 or so) of the following error:
device-mapper: remove ioctl on home failed: Device or resource busy
However, it's kind of bugging me that I don't know what it is, so I'm wondering what's going on and is there any way to clear it up?
I think I might have made a little progress on this one.
After more research, it seems that this error indicates a file or process is open or in use on this volume, which seems completely reasonable.
Some more reading lead me to the lsof and fuser commands, which I hadn't encountered yet. They both seem to indicate that a bash process is in use on /home, and trying to close the volume manually yielded similar results, so I'm guessing that's the culprit.
However, I'm not sure if having bash in use on /home is normal behavior, it strikes me kinda odd but might be totally expected.
Still haven't figured out the best way to deal with this yet, I thought about maybe trying to manually kill it with the rc.local_shutdown script, but that doesn't seem like a very elegant solution.
Is there a better way?
An active bash process having open files in /home would indicate a logged-in user or process. It could be a cron job, a script related to some process running in the background or something entirely different.
You should find out exactly what that process is and what it does. lsof | grep /home should point you in the right direction. The third column shows the user name running the process in question.
(FWIW, on my Slackware system "lsof | grep /home" returns nothing unless I'm logged in as a non-root user.)
Please accept my sincerest apologies for not getting back to this thread for so long.
Ser Olmy, you were exactly right that when I run lsof | grep /home as a non-root user, I get a few results, but running it as root returns nothing. However, if I log in as root and shutdown, I still get the exact same message, so I guess there must be something else going on?
One other detail I noticed, is the line directly preceding this error indicates that it is attempting to lock the LUKS volume, which I believe it can't due to /home still being mounted. I'm still thinking that the problem is that /home can't be unmounted for some reason, but I thought I would mention it.
If anyone else has any ideas on what I could look into, it would be greatly appreciated.
OK, interesting update. I've been looking around inside the rc.6 script, and I noticed that just prior to the cryptsetup volumes being closed, the script turns off swap, unmounts local file systems, and then re-mounts root as read only, in that order.
This makes me think that it's root being mounted that's causing the problem. I'm tempted to comment out the line that remounts it as read-only, but I don't know what the consequences of that might be? Does root need to be mounted until a certain point in the shutdown process?
You might be able to figure out the magic order to shut down whatever combination of things you're using without hitting any errors. But it's unlikely that there are any real problems with what's happening now, and if you get your fix wrong, there could be. I see the same thing here on my own encrypted /home, by the way.
I'll probably let this one go for now, at least until I get enough experience to go tinkering with it.

Several people lose everything in Bay City apartment fire
Mon, 07 Nov 2011 13:06:46 GMT —
A Bay City apartment has gone up in Flames.
Five units were occupied when the blaze broke out at the building on Tenth and Jefferson around 4:00 a.m. Monday.
"The neighbor down stairs is banging on everyone's door, 'Get up, get up, get up.' By the time I got up I saw smoke in my apartment and then I had to go grab my kid, throw some shoes on him, throw a coat on there. thank god he slept in his clothes last night," says resident Stewart Clark.
The residents said they started to smell smoke. Police arrived around 4:45 a.m. and evacuated everyone just moments before the roof collapsed on the building. Fortunately, no one was injured. One couple was even able to save their pets from the fire. However, the building is a total loss, and renters say none of them had insurance.
Fire crews are not yet sure what sparked the flames and are continuing to investigate.
The Red Cross is helping about a dozen people whose homes were destroyed during the fire. If you would like to help, you can contact the organization at at 989-892-1541.

Sandy from Carson, I printed out pattern for Herringbone Afghan and no matter what I do there's an ad for Dentastix for dogs across the second page of directions & can't read it.
Jul 22, 2012
blueram - Take a screen shot of the directions and save to your desktop. Then you can print it out, sans ads, by inserting it into a document. On a mac screen shot is command, shift, 4. For PC you'll have to look it up.
Jul 22, 2012
Another possibility is to go to print, then save it as a pdf and print it that way.

I just started this, the pattern was on the skein of yarn. Unfortunatley, I am substituting another brand of yarn, so the gauge may be a little off. I can do the double treble stitch, but the loops are kind of loose. Any suggestions to making them less loopy? Always make the herringbone part of the pattern in the lighter color yarn.

It has been quite a long time since the Florida Panthers enjoyed any type of success – in fact the team has only earned three playoff berths in their 18 year history, the last of which came in 2000. The days of fans throwing rats on the ice to celebrate hat tricks or victories seemed dead, while hockey in south Florida quickly began to dwindle but thanks to an offseason where the Panthers dipped into their wallet, it appears as though the franchise is ready to make a resurgence.
Last night's thrilling 3-2 overtime win against the division-rival Carolina Hurricanes gave Florida 46 points this season, in 33 games. Florida finished last season with 72 points, so the Panthers are more than half way there but not many have seemed to notice the sudden change that is taking place in the greater Miami area.
The win last night at home was in front of 15,289 fans, a number the Panthers have rarely seen in the past decade. That's what happens when a team spends money in the summer but it's not like the Panthers had much of a choice since they were under the $48.3 million minimum team salary which is part of the "Lower Limit of Payroll Range" section of the salary cap. The Panthers could have gone out and just spent the money all willy-nilly by throwing a bunch of money at a superstar but instead they focused on building a team and acquiring the right pieces to fit the puzzle.
Perhaps the biggest addition was right-winger Kris Versteeg, who was fresh off his role as a rental for the Philadelphia Flyers. Versteeg has adapted well to his roll with the Panthers, one that has him quickly becoming a fan favorite. In 32 games this season, Versteeg has 16 goals and 18 assists. The other big reasons both come on the defensive side of the puck – Ed Jovanovski and Brian Campbell. The two players have added a nice mixture of size and speed to the blue line – which is just what Florida needed – in addition to the leadership they bring to the club. It's only their first year and already both are alternate captains, the Panthers don't have a captain at this point in the season.
So add offense? Check. Bolster up the defense? Check. All that was left was goaltending and since Tomas Vokoun up-and-left for Washington, the Panthers went out and got a seasoned – yet streaky – goaltender in Jose Theodore but he has been anything but streaky. He has started 24 games already, with a record of 13-6-4, save percentage of .923 and a 2.32 goals-against-average. Plus they have a solid back up in Scott Clemmensen to help lighten the load.
The Panthers have earned their eight point lead in the Southeast Division despite battling a number of injuries, mostly on the offensive side of the puck. Left-winger Scottie Upshall and center Marcel Goc are both on the injured reserve and while neither is a points machine, Upshall adds plenty of speed and Goc is a defensive-minded forward, who is known for his faceoff skills.
Even though it's still early in the season, the Panthers seem as though they might be poised for their first playoff berth in well over a decade – as long as they don't burn out. There is no denying at the moment, that the rat is back, as was eminent by the few scattered on the ice after last night. We might just start seeing more and more of those rubbery creatures as the year continues. And we all know what happened when the rats were a fixture – the Panthers earned their only Stanley Cup playoff appearance in history.

A software development methodology or system development methodology in software engineering is a framework that is used to structure, plan, and control the process of developing an information system.
There are the following methodologies:
- Agile Software Development
- Crystal Methods
- Dynamic Systems Development Model (DSDM)
- Extreme Programming (XP)
- Feature Driven Development (FDD)
- Joint Application Development (JAD)
- Lean Development (LD)
- Rapid Application Development (RAD)
- Rational Unified Process (RUP)
- Scrum
- Spiral
- Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- Waterfall (a.k.a. Traditional)
Agile Software Development Methodology
Agile software development is a conceptual framework for undertaking software engineering projects. There are a number of agilesoftware development methodologies e.g. Crystal Methods, Dynamic Systems Development Model (DSDM), and Scrum.
Most agile methods attempt to minimize risk by developing software in short timeboxes, called iterations, which typically last one to four weeks. Each iteration is like a miniature software project of its own, and includes all the tasks necessary to release the mini-increment of new functionality: planning, requirements analysis, design, coding, testing, and documentation. While iteration may not add enough functionality to warrant releasing the product, an agile software project intends to be capable of releasing new software at the end of every iteration. At the end of each iteration, the team reevaluates project priorities.
Agile methods emphasize realtime communication, preferably face-to-face, over written documents. Most agile teams are located in a bullpen and include all the people necessary to finish the software. At a minimum, this includes programmers and the people who define the product such as product managers, business analysts, or actual customers. The bullpen may also include testers, interface designers, technical writers, and management .
Agile methods also emphasize working software as the primary measure of progress. Combined with the preference for face-to-face communication, agile methods produce very little written documentation relative to other methods.
Crystal Methods Methodology
Alistair Cockburn developed the Crystal Methods approach. His focus is on the people, interaction, community, skills, talents, and communications with the belief that these are what have the first-order effect on performance. Process, he says, is important, but secondary.
Cockburn's philosophy translate into a recognition that each team has a different set of talents and skills and therefore each team should use a process uniquely tailored to it. And it means that the process should be minimized - barely significant.
The use of the word "crystal" refers to the various facets of a gemstone - each a different face on an underlying core. The underlying core represents values and principles, while each facet represents a specific set of elements such as techniques, roles, tools, and standards. Cockburn also differentiates between methodology, techniques, and policies. A methodology is a set of elements (practices, tools); techniques are skill areas such as developing use cases; and policies dictate organizational "musts".
Dynamic Systems Development Model Methodology
The Dynamic Systems Development Model was developed in the U.K. in the mid-1990s. It is the evolution of rapid application development (RAD) practices. DSDM boasts the best-supported training and documentation of any of the agile software development techniques, at least in Europe. DSDM favors the philosophy that nothing is built perfectly the first time and looks to software development as an exploratory endeavor.
The nine principles of DSDM are:
- Active user involvement.
- Empowered teams that the authority to can make decisions.
- A focus on frequent delivery of products.
- Using fitness for business purpose as the essential criterion for acceptance of deliverables.
- Iterative and incremental development to ensure convergence on an accurate business solution.
- Reversible changes during development.
- Requirements that is baselined at a high level.
- Integrated testing throughout the life cycle.
- Collaboration and cooperation between all stakeholders.
Extreme Programming (XP) Methodology
XP is a methodology for creating software within a very unstable environment. It allows flexibility within the modelling process.
The main goal of XP is to lower the cost of change in software requirements. With traditional system development methodologies, like the Waterfall Methodology, the requirements for the system are determined and often "frozen" at the beginning of the development project. This means that the cost of changing the requirements at a later stage in the project - something that is very common in the real-world can be very high.
XP Core Practices
The core practices of Extreme Programming, as described in the first edition of "Extreme Programming Explained" can be grouped into four areas (12 practices) as follows:
Fine scale feedback
- Test driven development
- Planning game
- Whole team
- Pair programming
Continuous process rather than batch
- Continuous Integration
- Design Improvement
- Small Releases
Shared understanding
- Simple design
- System metaphor
- Collective code ownership
- Coding standards or coding conventions
Programmer welfare
- Sustainable pace (i.e. forty hour week)
In the second edition of "Extreme Erogramming Explained" a set of corollary practices are listed in addition to the primary practices.
The core practices are derived from generally accepted best practices, and are taken to extremes:
- Interaction between developers and customers is good. Therefore, an XP team is supposed to have a customer on site, who specifies and prioritizes work for the team, and who can answer questions as soon as they arise. (In practice, this role is sometimes fulfilled by a customer proxy.)
- If learning is good, take it to extremes: Reduce the length of development and feedback cycles. Test early.
- Simple code is more likely to work. Therefore, extreme programmers only write code to meet actual needs at the present time in a project, and go to some lengths to reduce complexity and duplication in their code.
- If simple code is good, re-write code when it becomes complex.
- Code reviews are good. Therefore XP programmers work in pairs, sharing one screen and keyboard (which also improves communication) so that all code is reviewed as it is written.
- Testing code is good. Therefore, in XP, tests are written before the code is written. The code is considered complete when it passes the tests (but then it needs refactoring to remove complexity). The system is periodically, or immediately tested using all pre-existing automated tests to assure that it works. See test-driven development.
It used to be thought that Extreme Programming could only work in small teams of fewer than 12 persons. However, XP has been used successfully on teams of over a hundred developers.
Feature Driven Development Methodology
Jeff De Luca and Peter Coad were both greatly involved in developing the Feature Driven Development methodology. Peter describes FDD as having just enough process to ensure scalability and repeatability while encouraging creativity and innovation.
More specifically, Feature Driven Development asserts that:
- A system for building systems is necessary in order to scale to larger projects.
- A simple, but well-define process will work best.
- Process steps should be logical and their worth immediately obvious to each team member.
- "Process pride" can keep the real work from happening.
- Good processes move to the background so team members can focus on results.
- Short, iterative, feature-driven life cycles are best.
FDD proceeds to address the items above with this simple process (numbers in brackets indicate the project time spent):
1. Develop an overall model (10 percent initial, 4 percent ongoing)
2. Build a features list (4 percent initial, 1 percent ongoing)
3. Plan by feature (2 percent initial, 2 percent ongoing)
4. Design by feature
5. Build by feature (77 percent for design and build combined)
Joint Application Development (JAD) Methodology
JAD is a requirements-definition and user-interface design methodology in which end-users, executives, and developers attend intense off-site meetings to work out a system's details. So the Joint Application Development (JAD) methodology aims to involve the client in the design and development of an application. This is accomplished through a series of collaborative workshops called JAD sessions. Two employees of IBM, Chuck Morris and Tony Crawford, developed the JAD methodology in the late 1970s and began teaching the approach in to the 1980s.
JAD focuses on the business problem rather than technical details. It is most applicable to the development of business systems, but it can be used successfully for systems software. It produces its savings by shortening the elapsed time required to gather a system's requirements and by gathering requirements better, thus reducing the number of costly, downstream requirements changes. Its success depends on effective leadership of the JAD sessions; on participation by key end-users, executives, and developers; and on achieving group synergy during JAD sessions.
In contrast to the Waterfall approach, JAD is thought to lead to shorter development times and greater client satisfaction, both of which stem from the constant involvement of the client throughout the development process. On the other hand, with the traditional approach to systems development, the developer investigates the system requirements and develops an application, with client input consisting of a series of interviews.
Rapid application development (RAD), a variation on JAD, attempts to create an application more quickly through strategies that include fewer formal methodologies and reusing software components.
Lean Development (LD) Methodology
Lean Development focuses on the creation of change-tolerant software. This methodology embodies the notion of dynamic stability which can be thought of as similar to how Scrum embraces controlled chaos. Bob Charette, the originator, writes that the measurable goal of LD is to build software with one-third the human effort, one-third the development hours and one-third the investment as compared to what SEI (Software Engineering Institute) CMM Level 3 organization would achieve.
There are 12 principles of Lean Development:
1. Satisfying the customer is the highest priority.
2. Always provide the best value for the money.
3. Success depends on active customer participation.
4. Every LD project is a team effort.
5. Everything is changeable.
6. Domain, not point, solutions.
7. Complete, don't construct.
8. An 80 percent solution today instead of 100 percent solution tomorrow.
9. Minimalism is essential.
10. Needs determine technology.
11. Product growth is feature growth, not size growth.
12. Never push LD beyond its limits.
Rapid Application Development (RAD) Methodology
"Rapid-development language" is a general term that refers to any programming language that offers speedier implementation than do traditional third-generation languages such as C/C++, Pascal, or Fortran. Rapid-Development Languages (RDLs) produce their savings by reducing the amount of construction needed to build a product. Although the savings are realized during construction, the ability to shorten the construction cycle has projectwide implications: shorter construction cycles make incremental lifecycles such as Evolutionary Prototyping practical. Because RDLs often lack first-rate performance, constrain flexibility, and are limited to specific kinds of problems, they are usually better suited to the development of in-house business software and limited-distribution custom software than systems software.
RAD (rapid application development) proposes that products can be developed faster and of higher quality by:
- Using workshops or focus groups to gather requirements.
- Prototyping and user testing of designs.
- Re-using software components.
- Following a schedule that defers design improvements to the next product version.
- Keeping review meetings and other team communication informal.
There are commercial products that include requirements gathering tools, prototyping tools, software development environments such as those for the Java platform, groupware for communication among development members, and testing tools. RAD usually embraces object-oriented programming methodology, which inherently fosters software re-use. The most popular object-oriented programming languages, C++ and Java, are offered in visual programming packages often described as providing rapid application development.
Rational Unified Process (RUP) Methodology
The Rational Unified Process attempts to capture many of modern software development's best practices in a form suitable for a wide range of projects and organizations. This process recognizes that the traditional waterfall approach can be inefficient because it idles key team members for extended periods of time. Many feel that the waterfall approach also introduces a lot of risk because it defers testing and integration until the end of the project lifecycle. Problems found at this stage are very expense to fix.
By contrast, RUP represents an iterative approach that is superior for a number of reasons:
- It lets you take into account changing requirements which despite the best efforts of all project managers are still a reality on just about every project.
- Integration is not one "big bang" at the end; instead, elements are integrated progressively.
- Risks are usually discovered or addressed during integration. With the iterative approach, you can mitigate risks earlier.
- Iterative development provides management with a means of making tactical changes to the product. It allows you to release a product early with reduced functionality to counter a move by a competitor, or to adopt another vendor for a given technology.
- Iteration facilitates reuse; it is easier to identify common parts as they are partially designed or implemented than to recognize them during planning.
- When you can correct errors over several iterations, the result is a more robust architecture. Performance bottlenecks are discovered at a time when they can still be addressed, instead of creating panic on the eve of delivery.
- Developers can learn along the way, and their various abilities and specialties are more fully employed during the entire lifecycle. Testers start testing early, technical writers begin writing early, and so on.
- The development process itself can be improved and refined along the way. The assessment at the end of iteration not only looks at the status of the project from a product or schedule perspective, but also analyzes what should be changed in the organization and in the process to make it perform better in the next iteration.
Scrum Methodology
Scrum is an agile method for project management developed by Ken Schwaber. Its goal is to dramatically improve productivity in teams previously paralyzed by heavier, process-laden methodologies.
Scrum is characterized by:
- A living backlog of prioritized work to be done.
- Completion of a largely fixed set of backlog items in a series of short iterations or sprints.
- A brief daily meeting (called a scrum), at which progress is explained, upcoming work is described, and obstacles are raised.
- A brief planning session in which the backlog items for the sprint will be defined.
- A brief heartbeat retrospective, at which all team members reflect about the past sprint.
Scrum is facilitated by a scrum master, whose primary job is to remove impediments to the ability of the team to deliver the sprint goal. The scrum master is not the leader of the team (as they are self-organizing) but acts as a productivity buffer between the team and any destabilizing influences.
Scrum enables the creation of self-organizing teams by encouraging verbal communication across all team members and across all disciplines that are involved in the project. A key principle of scrum is its recognition that fundamentally empirical challenges cannot be addressed successfully in a traditional "process control" manner. As such, scrum adopts an empirical approach - accepting that the problem cannot be fully understood or defined, focusing instead on maximizing the team's ability to respond in an agile manner to emerging challenges.
Spiral Methodology
The Spiral Lifecycle Model is a sophisticated lifecycle model that focuses on early identification and reduction of project risks. A spiral project starts on a small scale, explores risks, makes a plan to handle the risks, and then decides whether to take the next step of the project - to do the next iteration of the spiral. It derives its rapiddevelopment benefit not from an increase in project speed, but from continuously reducing the projects risk level - which has an effect on the time required to deliver it. Success at using the Spiral Lifecycle Model depends on conscientious, attentive, and knowledgeable management .It can be used on most kinds of projects, and its risk-reduction focus is always beneficial.
The spiral methodology extends the waterfall model by introducing prototyping. It is generally chosen over the waterfall approach for large, expensive, and complicated projects.
At a high-level, the steps in the spiral model are as follows:
1. The new system requirements are defined in as much detail as possible. This usually involves interviewing a number of users representing all the external or internal users and other aspects of the existing system.
2. A preliminary design is created for the new system.
3. A first prototype of the new system is constructed from the preliminary design. This is usually a scaled-down system, and represents an approximation of the characteristics of the final product.
4. A second prototype is evolved using four steps:
- Evaluate the first prototype and identify its strengths, weaknesses, and risks.
- Define the requirements of the second prototype.
- Plan and design the second prototype.
- Construct and test the second prototype.
5. At the project sponsor's option, the entire project can be aborted if the risk is deemed too great. Risk factors might involve development cost overruns, operating-cost miscalculation, or any other factor that could result in a less-than-satisfactory final product.
6. The existing prototype is evaluated in the same manner as was the previous prototype, and, if necessary, another prototype is developed from it according to the fourfold procedure outlined above.
7. The preceding steps are iterated until the customer is satisfied that the refined prototype represents the final product desired.
8. The final system is constructed, based on the refined prototype.
9. The final system is thoroughly evaluated and tested. Routine maintenance is carried out on a continuing basis to prevent large-scale failures and to minimize downtime.
Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Methodology
The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is a conceptual model used in project management that describes the stages involved in an information system development project, from an initial feasibility study through maintenance of the completed application. Various SDLC methodologies have been developed to guide the processes involved, including the waterfall model (which was the original SDLC method); rapid application development (RAD); joint application development (JAD); the fountain model; the spiral model; build and fix; and synchronize-and-stabilize.
Often, several models are combined into some sort of hybrid methodology. Documentation is crucial regardless of the type of model chosen or devised for any application, and is usually done in parallel with the development process. Some methods work better for specific types of projects, but in the final analysis, the most important factor for the success of a project may be how closely the particular plan was followed.
In general, an SDLC methodology follows these steps:
1. If there is an existing system, its deficiencies are identified. This is accomplished by interviewing users and consulting with support personnel.
2. The new system requirements are defined including addressing any deficiencies in the existing system with specific proposals for improvement.
3. The proposed system is designed. Plans are created detailing the hardware, operating systems, programming, and security issues.
4. The new system is developed. The new components and programs must be obtained and installed. Users of the system must be trained in its use, and all aspects of performance must be tested. If necessary, adjustments must be made at this stage.
5. The system is put into use. This can be done in various ways. The new system can phased in, according to application or location, and the old system gradually replaced. In some cases, it may be more cost-effective to shut down the old system and implement the new system all at once.
6. Once the new system is up and running for a while, it should be exhaustively evaluated. Maintenance must be kept up rigorously at all times. Users of the system should be kept up-to-date concerning the latest modifications and procedures.
Waterfall (a.k.a. Traditional) Methodology
The waterfall model is a popular version of the systems development life cycle model for software engineering. Often considered the classic approach to the systems development life cycle, the waterfall model describes a development method that is rigid and linear. Waterfall development has distinct goals for each phase of development where each phase is completed for the next one is started and there is no turning back.
The perceived advantages of the waterfall process are that it allows for departmentalization and managerial control. A schedule is typically set with deadlines for each stage of development and a product can proceed through the development process. In theory, this process leads to the project being delivered on time because each phase has been planned in detail.
In practice, waterfall development often falls short of expectations as it does not embrace the inevitable changes and revisions that become necessary with most projects. Once an application is in the testing stage, it is very difficult to go back and change something that was not thought of in the concept stage. Alternatives to the waterfall model include joint application development (JAD), rapid application development (RAD), sync and stabilize, build and fix, and the spiral model.

This week's OK magazine says that Ashleigh will be moving back in with mom Barbara Evans until the babies are born in the fall – reportedly, her husband is in the military and stationed abroad right now, which might be why Ashleigh wants to be around her mom. If this is true, then Barbara should just go ahead and open a day care.
Although Ashleigh has never been on Teen Mom 2 (there are rumors that she attended baby Jace's birthday party but wore a wig so she wouldn't be noticed in the background of the scene), it could be interesting if she ends up on the show. She and Jenelle reportedly have a good relationship – the instructional video Jenelle made about using a hair clip was dedicated to Ashleigh, because Jenelle sent her sister a hair clip for her birthday. At the very least, maybe poor little Jace will get some playmates.

Research from Harvard Medical School finds that couples expressing the most empathy and affection are the most likely to stay together. We asked Harville Hendrix, PhD, founder of a marriage counseling technique called Imago therapy, for tips to help you upgrade your own empathy skills.
"Mirror." When your partner expresses his or her feelings, show that you're listening by paraphrasing. Start with, "Let me see if I've got that: You feel..."
You may unsubscribe at any time.
Resist the urge to interrupt. "Instead of, 'Are you through now?' try, 'Is there more to that?' " says Hendrix. "This shows your partner that he or she can feel open and safe with you." Of course, saying it calmly helps, too.
Validate your spouse's point of view. Finish with, "I can imagine that because of [fill in the situation], you feel [angry, sad, guilty, etc.]."Copyright © 2017 Rodale Inc.

After I finished graduate school, I decided to go back to Madagascar to share what I'd learned with people there. The science in many of the textbooks
was out-of-date and was not relevant to the biodiversity or culture of Madagascar. I worked as a volunteer on a project, putting together teaching materials
about Madagascar wildlife and plants for teachers.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon speaks during a news conference at the United Nations in Geneva April 12, 2012. (Image: Reuters)
U.N. General Secretary Ban Ki-moon, who will meet President Thein Sein and pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, said his visit comes at a 'critical moment.'
The government's relationship with the international community is thawing after it started implementing economic reforms and opened up dialogue with the West and ethnic minority rebel groups.
Ban applauded the nation's recent reforms, including elections and steps toward reconciliation with the rebels and opposition movements. But he said more needs to be done.
The trip, which follows a series of political reforms in Myanmar, marks the latest step in the country's international rehabilitation after decades of isolation.
European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton met with Suu Kyi on Saturday.
Ashton will open a new embassy-level office for the European Union in Yangon to 'help support Myanmar/Burma on its path to full democracy.'
Suu Kyi and 42 other candidates from her party won seats in elections on April 1, a result welcomed by the United States and Britain as a sign of progress toward democracy after decades of repressive military rule.
Other high-profile visitors to Myanmar in recent months include British Prime Minister David Cameron and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
