Appendix A (Appropriate Treatment of Medical Students in the Educational Setting)
1. Introduction
1.1. To assure that medical students are treated in an appropriate manner with respect and that a positive supportive educational environment is maintained.
1.2. The Brody School of Medicine is committed to providing an educational environment that is supportive and respectful to all members of the medical center community. The school recognizes that diversity among the members of the academic community is inherent in the practice of medicine, and that an appreciation and understanding of such diversity is an important aspect of medical training.
1.2.1. As part of that training, the Brody School of Medicine strives to develop professional and collegial attitudes and behaviors in interactions among members of the educational community and between these members and their patients. These goals are primary to the educational mission of the school.
1.3. Standards of conduct between the teacher and learner, which evoke an environment of mutual trust and understanding, contribute to developing an environment that supports the learning process. When all participants understand the standards of conduct between the teacher and learner and when all participants are held accountable to the standards, an environment is established that enhances both learning and professional development. Inappropriate behaviors may cause the learner to become cynical about the medical profession, may interfere with the learning process, may cause individuals to leave medical training, and may promote an atmosphere in which abuse is accepted and perpetuated in medical training.
1.4. The Brody School of Medicine acknowledges that the social and behavioral diversity of students, faculty, residents and staff, combined with the intensity of the interactions between them may, from time to time, lead to alleged, perceived or real incidents of inappropriate behavior or mistreatment of individuals. The occurrence of such incidents either intentionally or unintentionally results in a disruption of the spirit of learning and a breach in the trust between teacher and learner.
2. Contents

2.1. A statement of the Brody School of Medicine's standards with regards to appropriate behavior in the student – teacher relationship. Among these behaviors are mutual respect, honesty, fairness and evenhanded treatment in all interactions. This regulation also includes a definition of inappropriate behaviors in the student – teacher relationship and examples of such behavior.
2.2. A plan for the ongoing education of the members of the medical school community about these standards of behavior and the process by which they are to be upheld.

4.2.4. A link to the Appropriate Treatment of Medical Students in the Educational Setting regulation will be maintained on the Office of Student Affairs website.
5. Process for Responding to Allegations of Mistreatment
5.1. Anonymous Reporting and Resolution
Anonymous concerns related to student mistreatment are received on course and clerkship evaluation forms. These forms are reviewed by the Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and reported to the department chairs and clerkship/course directors, as well as residency program directors and nurse leadership as indicated. An annual report will be prepared for the Dean of the Brody School of Medicine and the East Carolina University Vice Provost for Equity and Diversity, with a copy maintained in the Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs office. The Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs will be responsible for further reporting any anonymous information to the extent required by applicable laws and/or Univesity policies.
5.2. Informal Resolution
When an alleged mistreatment occurs, the parties directly involved should try, if at all possible, to resolve the matter informally in private. However, a student will not be required to report any complaint of alleged mistreatment (e.g., harassment) to or through the alleged offender. Students may seek assistance and advice in handling issues of mistreatment through the ombudspersons (see contact information in Section 6). These individuals can provide coaching/advice in handling conflict and explain the process for carrying a complaint forward, but they do not take sides or judge the underlying issues of the conflict, nor do they discipline or reward anyone. Students are also encouraged to discuss concerns and seek advice from Assistant Deans for Student Affairs and, when appropriate, the course and clerkship director. Confidentiality will be maintained except as required by applicable laws and/or University policies.
5.3. Resolution through Facilitation by the Ombudsperson
In some situations, the informal approach may be hindered by a variety of factors, including reluctance of the reporting individual to address the alleged offender, or intransigence of the alleged offender. A position of Ombudsperson has been established to help resolve such conflicts. The role of the Ombudspersons is to collect information concerning the mistreatment incident from appropriate sources and mediate between the parties with the intent of reconciling the matter to the satisfaction of both parties. It is designed to preserve the confidentiality of all parties involved to the extent possible. Regulation and law prohibits retaliation for reporting and/or participating as a witness regarding a potential violation of law and/or University policy. The student may contact the Ombudsperson to seek assistance in resolving a conflict. The Ombudsperson, who is chosen by the Dean, should not be an individual with medical student supervisory or administrative responsibilities at the Brody School of Medicine. Incidents of mistreatment handled by the ombudspersons according to the algorithm in Appendix B. The Ombudsperson will provide a redacted report biannually directly to the Dean of the Brody School of Medicine and the East Carolina University Vice Provost for Equity and Diversity.
5.4. Formal Resolution
5.4.1. The Conflict-Resolution Council
126.96.36.199. If a reasonable effort on the part of the Ombudsperson fails to resolve the conflict, the Conflict-Resolution Council may be convened if requested in writing by either of the parties or, in the case of a serious or repeated offense, the Ombudsperson. The full Council will meet annually to review and recommend any change in the regulation and procedures, and make an annual report to the Dean. The Dean will select a twelve member Conflict-Resolution Council to include two members from each of the following groups:
Pre-Clinical Students
Clinical Students
Pre-Clinical Faculty
Clinical Faculty
BSOM Administration
18.104.22.168. The Chair of the Council, appointed by the Dean, will be one of the Faculty members on the Council. All members are appointed to the Council for a three-year term. The appointment term will be staggered so that the council always has experienced members. The Ombudsperson is not a member of the Council but is present at Council meetings.
126.96.36.199. When a case arises for deliberation, the Chair of the Conflict-Resolution Council will select an ad hoc Sub-Council consisting of five members from the Conflict-Resolution Council. This Sub-Council will include representatives from the appropriate peer groups of the reporting individual and alleged offender. If one of the parties involved is not represented on the full Conflict-Resolution Council, additional members from the appropriate group (e.g. nurses, staff, etc.) may be recruited to the Sub-Council.
5.4.2. Sub-Council Procedures
22.214.171.124. The purpose of the Sub-Council is to collect the facts pertinent to the conflict, mediate between the parties, and make recommendations for resolution. The Council will assess the evidence as objectively as possible, be fair in its deliberations, and protect the rights of the individuals.
184.108.40.206. Each Sub-Council will select its own chair to preside over deliberations. When the Sub-Council hears a case, the Ombudsperson, reporting individual and alleged offender are present. The Ombudsperson is responsible for notifying the parties regarding the meeting time and place. The meeting will begin with the Ombudsperson presenting the case. The parties involved in the conflict will both have an opportunity to speak and to bring witnesses to speak. Neither party can be represented by legal counsel.
188.8.131.52. All meeting proceedings, except deliberations of the Sub-Council on findings and recommendations, shall be recorded by the Ombudsperson. The written record shall serve as the official documentation of the hearing and shall be maintained in a secure file in the BSOM Office of Student Affairs. All proceedings and deliberations shall remain confidential to the extent permitted by law.
126.96.36.199. The Sub-Council will prepare a report for the Dean and the full Conflict Resolution Council containing the facts of the case and any recommendations made through their deliberations. The Dean will advise the conflicting parties as to the recommendations of the Sub-Council and of his/her concurrence with the recommendations. The Dean's decision constitutes the final disposition of the matter within the medical school. Other university policies may govern decisions affecting faculty and staff.
5.5. Protection Against Retaliation
Those who are accused of mistreatment will be informed by the Ombudsperson that retaliation is regarded as a form of mistreatment and violation of the regulation. The accusation of retaliation will be handled with the same procedure as mistreatment. The Council will inform the Dean of retaliation.
5.6. False accusation
Any complainant, respondent, or witness found to have been intentionally dishonest in the processes described in this Regulation (e.g., the complainant making the allegation) may be subject to disciplinary action.

Since St. Patrick's Day is all about killing brain cells, here's a little alcohol-related amusement to keep your neurons firing. YouTube user cadamole wrote this Irish-folksong-inspired ode to the biological and chemical wonders of alcohol. Learn the words so you and your friends can sing it as you raise your next round of Murphy's.
In case you're already inebriated, here are the first two stanzas:
In the year of our lord eighteen hundred and eleven
On March the seventeenth day
I will raise up a beer and I'll raise up a cheer
For Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Here's to brewers yeast, that humblest of all beasts
Producing carbon gas reducing acetaldehyde
But my friends that isn't all — it makes ethyl alcohol
That is what the yeast excretes and that's what we imbibe
Anaerobic isolation
Alcoholic fermentation
NADH oxidation
Give me a beer

Last year, Chrome's team promised to add some features that improve plug-in security. One of them is already included in the latest dev builds: "some plug-ins are widely installed but typically not required for today's Internet experience. For most users, any attempt to instantiate such a plug-in is suspicious and Google Chrome will warn on this condition."
Two of the plug-ins that require permission every time you visit a site that uses them are Oracle's Java and Apple's QuickTime. The two plug-ins are enabled by default, but you need to click "Run this time" or "Always run on this site" to load the full content of the page. You can manually whitelist domains, but there's no way to disable the infobar.
While not many sites use these plug-ins, it's surprising to see that Chrome requires permission before loading Java or QuickTime content, even if you've updated to the latest version of the plug-in. The infobar warning is annoying, some users might ignore it, while others could think that the page tries to install malicious software.
"The reason is to protect the (estimated 90% - 95%) of internet users who do not ever need to instantiate various lesser-used plug-ins. Remember that you just have to press a single button on the sites that you trust to run Java. And then you're done. In fact you're much better than done: you've limited your exposure to Java security vulnerabilities such that a drive-by malware Java ad won't automatically run. I encourage you to read about the evolution of drive-by downloads and pay particular attention to how Java is being used in a lot of current attacks, even when it is fully up to date," explains a Chrome engineer.
An article from November 2010 informs that "a Java exploit has replaced exploits of PDF file weaknesses to become the most common threat, according to G Data SecurityLabs. Java vulnerabilities offer cyber criminals a lot of potential on the technical side, said researchers, and the development and distribution of malicious code is considerably easier than other methods of infecting a system. Topping the list is Java.Trojan.Exploit.Bytverify.N, which exploits a security hole in Java's byte code verifier. Using this exploit allows the execution of malicious code which could enable an attacker to gain control over a victim's system. This trojan is typically found on hacked websites, where it attempts to infect PCs through drive-by download through a manipulated Java applet, researchers said. Just visiting an infected website with an unprotected computer will be enough to infect a system." G Data expects "a significant rise in the number of Java-based malware in the coming months".

Tesla Cars Coming to Georgia Showroom
DECATUR, Ga. — The hottest alternative fuel car company in the U.S. is entering the Atlanta metro area.
Tesla Motors, based in Palo Alto, California, is establishing itself as the world's premier manufacturer of high-performance electric sports cars.
Alpharetta-based commercial real estate brokers Brian Patton of Capital Realty Advisors and Josh Barnes of Orkin & Associates pooled their efforts to represent the landlord on an 18,000-square-foot automobile showroom and service center for Tesla Motors. This location will mark their first full-service dealership in Georgia.
The long-term lease deal will be in Decatur, the county seat of DeKalb County.
Tesla is on a growth spurt, with its stock up double over the last 12 trailing months.
"We see a lot of potential in the Decatur market, and that's why the landlord has decided to hold onto the property in the form of a leasehold," said Patton.
Barnes said the landlord is encouraged to see such a strong tenant showing interest in the area. "We like to buy and hold strategic investments," said Barnes. "That's why we are bullish on this market and this property."
Sarah Williams of SRS Real Estate Partners also collaborated on the deal by representing Tesla.
Tesla plans to open more automotive dealerships in the near future, taking advantage of the growing electric car market.

FASHION WEEK: Backstage with Moroccanoil at Alexandre Herchcovich
The Moroccanoil crewPhoto 4 of 9
Backstage at Alexandre Herchcovich is just as much fun as front of house--and that's because lead hair Antonio Corral Calero is an artist who loves to create a warm atmosphere even in the most stressful situations (like Fashion Week!).
For Herchcovich, Calero created beautiful, sexy, flowing styles that were textured to look as if the models had woken up Sunday morning with their Saturday night hair. To create the effect, Calero used Moroccanoil Treatment, new Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse, Moroccanoil Root Boost (available in February 2013), Luminous Hairspray Strong and Glimmer Shine Spray.
"Alexandre was very inspired by Boy George's Culture Club--very '80s," Calero says. "We wanted to come up with a look that was '80s, but more simple. So we designed a straighter look with a broken wave midstrand. It's all about soft, natural hair--but also quite sohpisticated. As the girls will be wearing hats and bandanas as accessories, we wanted the hair to also be an accessory."

Udo Kier (b. 1944) is a German-born film actor, though his credits cover a wide international range, often in horror films (often with sexual/exploitative edges) or villainous roles. He played the fire-eating puppetmaster Lorenzini in the 1996 Creature Shop-effects film The Adventures of Pinocchio.
Kier's long and diverse cinema career began in the late 1960s in Italian and German-produced efforts, notably the English-language Mark of the Devil (1970, as second lead to Herbert Lom). He soon played key, and characterist, roles as maniacal deviants in the Andy Warhol produced Frankenstein (as Baron Dr. Frankenstein) and Dracula (the title role). Kier also starred in the 1975 French film version of The Story of O, followed by Dario Argento's Suspiria (as psychologist Dr. Mandel, providing exposition), Docteur Jekyll et les femmes (as Dr. Jekyll), and more, including a 1989 turn as Adolf Hitler. In the 1980s, Kier began a long association with director Lars von Trier, including 1988's Medea (as Jason), Dogville (with Lauren Bacall), and the Danish TV series Riget (The Kingdom, which also featured Holger Perfort), as the shadowy, monstrous doctor Aage Krüger, among other projects.
Kier has also appeared in more mainstream indie or genre films, even the Jim Carrey comedy Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (as party host Ron Camp) as well as Johnny Mnemonic, Armageddon, Blade (as elder vampire Dragonetti), Rob Zombie's 2007 Halloween remake, and cameos in Gus Van Sant's My Own Private Idaho and Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. TV credits include showy guest turns on SeaQuest 2032, Nash Bridges, Tracey Takes On, the German series Tatort, and Chuck, as well as guest voices on Justice League and The Batman.

Determining Processor Utilization
Byron is an independent firmware developer specializing in microprocessor and DSP design and development for data acquisition, control, and Internet appliances. He can be reached at [email protected].
In an ideal world, selecting a processor for new embedded products would be based on the hardware architecture and performance requirements. In reality, we select the architecture and processor based on everything from cost, available tools, and developer familiarity, to support and even politics. Consequently, performance requirements are often considered after the fact and performance considerations are neglected until a problem arises.
Existing products can be affected by performance requirements too. Performance that's "good enough" early in a product's lifecycle may not be later on. On the other hand, products may be developed without considering performance requirements, resulting in a partially functional application. In short, ignoring performance requirements can have great consequences.
In this article, I present two approaches duty cycle and counter for handling performance issues at the latter stages of product development. For the purposes of illustration, I also present an example protocol analyzer test instrument that applies these approaches. Although a real-time operating system (RTOS) is assumed, these approaches are general purpose enough that you can use them for any application running under an RTOS or superloop.
Duty cycle and counter are empirical approaches. The duty-cycle approach uses duty cycles to determine aggregate processor utilization. A duty cycle is a ratio of the time on versus the total time. On the other hand, the counter approach uses counters to log time spent in tasks. Counts are calculated and compared to give processor utilization as a function of differential time. This approach is used to determine both aggregate and individual task utilization. Additionally, it also uses ratios to determine utilization. Although both approaches determine processor utilization, they do not provide utilization in terms of cycles, rather as a ratio of use. If you need to address performance issues during the analysis and design stages of product development, use an analytical approach such as Rate Monotonic Analysis (RMA), which is also useful for assessing whether system-wide deadlines are met.
Duty Cycle
To use the duty-cycle approach, you need a multitasking, preemptive, and priority-based RTOS that always has at least one task the null task running. The null task, also referred to as the idle task, is the lowest priority task. Consequently, it runs when no other task is running. Listing One is pseudocode for a typical null task. The null task is simply a superloop designed to use idle processor cycles.
The duty-cycle approach operates by manipulating application code to observe nonidle tasks. This approach first inserts code to toggle an output port on the processor. The port is a single line or pin that is turned on/off depending on which instruction is executing. Moreover, the pin's on/off value determines whether the application is idle. The toggled pin is then available for monitoring by a test instrument, which in turn gathers task information. Once gathered, information is analyzed to determine processor utilization under certain operating conditions. Code changes are required for this approach.
For monitoring, the duty-cycle approach requires code changes to the null task and task scheduler. Changes within the null task focus on accessing an available output pin port. Code is added to set the output pin upon entering the null task. The task scheduler is part of the RTOS kernel and is responsible for scheduling and swapping tasks. You add code here to reset the output pin whenever a task is swapped out.
Changes to the task scheduler require access to the kernel source, while changes to the null task do not. The net effect of these changes is to toggle the pin to high when idle, and low when nonidle (doing work). Alternatively, code changes could be isolated to the task scheduler. However, the logic involved to determine idle/nonidle tasks is more complex than simply setting the pin in the idle task and resetting the pin in the task scheduler. Listing Two is pseudocode for null task and task schedule changes.
There are two (although likely more) duty-cycle techniques you can use to determine processor utilization the "multimeter technique" and the "oscilloscope/logic analyzer technique." Code changes required to use these techniques are the same for each. The only difference is how the information is gathered. These techniques are named according to the test instrument used to gather duty-cycle information from the output pin.
The multimeter technique, which uses a multimeter as its measuring instrument, lets you determine average processor utilization. Moreover, it determines aggregate processor utilization for the whole application, rather than individual tasks. You can use the multimeter technique during the implementation, integration, and testing stages of development.
The multimeter technique's advantages are that it provides a quick approximation of performance; requires minimal analysis knowledge and diagnostic skills; requires a standard, inexpensive piece of test equipment; and is minimally code invasive, requiring only a couple of changes in the code.
Accuracy, however, can be a problem with the multimeter technique because it is an averaging technique and accurate for measuring applications that are nonfluctuating that is, applications that are utilizing the processor at a fairly constant rate. If the application fluctuates, it is considered bursty (that is, processor utilization varies greatly from one time interval to the next). In short, the multimeter technique averages bursty applications that can lead to gross inaccuracies.
For example, if the multimeter is averaging a bursty application with a processor utilization value over the five evenly dispersed time intervals of 5, 76, 34, 17, and 65 percent, it generates a result that averages about 39 percent. The error is significant if the actual utilization is 27 percent. Bursty applications may give results that are too far off to be useful for determining processor utilization. On the other hand, a nonbursty application over the same time interval with readings of 25, 29, 28.5, 26.5, and 27 percent yields an average close to the actual. Therefore, if greater accuracy is needed, you're better off using another technique (such as the oscilloscope/logic analyzer technique).
Another problem with the multimeter technique is that it is only good for measuring overall processor utilization. If you need individual task utilization, this technique is unusable. Finally, this technique requires additional hardware namely, the multimeter. Although this is a disadvantage, it is a minor one since multimeters are inexpensive.
On the other hand, the oscilloscope/logic analyzer technique operates by graphically keeping track of the duty cycle to determine aggregate processor utilization using a logic analyzer or oscilloscope. Since modern oscilloscopes have much of the same functionality as logic analyzers, logic analyzers and scopes are interchangeable for using this technique for all practical purposes.
Like the multimeter technique, the scope technique is general purpose, determines aggregate processor utilization, may be used during the same phases of development, relies on the null task-based RTOS, and is minimally code invasive. However, the scope technique does require more detailed knowledge of analysis theory and diagnostic skills you need to know how to operate a scope and interpret its results. Plus, this technique is expensive due to the cost of the equipment. Compared to multimeters, the scope technique is more accurate, flexible, and scalable and provides greater accuracy. In fact, its accuracy is around the 98-99 percent range and produces accurate results for both bursty and nonbursty applications. Also, the scope technique is easily scalable. Scaling for increased processor utilization granularity is done by modifying more code and using multichannel scopes.
One enhancement you can make to the scope technique is to support individual task utilization. It can be used with either a null task or a nonnull task-based RTOS. Supporting this enhancement requires multichannel scopes, enough output pins, and more extensive code changes. Say, for example, you have a system with six tasks. You could use this enhancement and scale it up by adding code for toggling six different output pins; a separate pin per task. Although it scales well for six tasks, it becomes cumbersome using the enhancement for more than 16 tasks because of the number of code changes and the scope channels required. Therefore, I don't recommend this approach for applications with a large number of tasks.
Finally, the scope technique lets you capture processor utilization in greater accuracy than the multimeter technique. This technique may be enhanced to calculate the individual task utilization by simply changing code for different output pins and connecting a multichannel scope to monitor the results. Keep in mind that the maximum number of tasks monitored is limited by the input channels of the scope, and how many changes you can manage at once.
Counter Approach
The counter approach is more flexible and general purpose than the duty-cycle approach, and provides a means of displaying processor utilization for each task in an application. Like other empirical approaches, it can be used during the implementation, integration, and testing stages of development. Furthermore, it is as accurate as the scope technique and does not require expensive test instruments to determine utilization. All you need is a preemptive RTOS, real-time counter, and software to capture and display the counts.
This approach operates by keeping separate data structures or bins for each task. The bin holds counter information and any other required statistic information. When the scheduler performs a context switch, the bin for that specific task is updated. Updating consists of enabling the real-time clock and starting the counter for that bin. The counter is incremented while the task is running. When the scheduler is ready to run another task, it disables the clock. Once the context switch occurs, the time differential or delta is recorded in the bin associated with that task before a new task is scheduled. Deltas for each bin are summed to provide the complete time for the application. User-written profiling utilities display the collected bin information.
The counter approach requires more code changes than either duty-cycle technique because potentially each task in the system is modified. Additionally, this approach may not require a null task-based RTOS to operate if it is monitoring each task's utilization. Alternatively, if aggregate utilization is the goal, then a null task-based RTOS is required.
Similar to the duty-cycle approach, the counter approach has two techniques that can be used to determine processor utilization.
The "single null task technique" is similar to duty-cycle techniques because it requires a change to the RTOS's task schedule to operate. Code in the task scheduler is modified so that a counter is started when the null task is scheduled. When a nonidle task is scheduled, the null task is preempted. The task scheduler stops the counter, calculates the delta, and sums the delta with the existing delta in the idle bin. It then resets and restarts the counter. The counter runs until the scheduler detects a context switch back to the null task. At that time the scheduler stops the timer, records the summed delta, and stores it in the nonidle bin. Once stored, the process is ready to start all over again. Listing Three presents the necessary changes to support this technique.
The scheduler is responsible for recording the sums of each bin's delta. The utilization number using this technique is derived by:
U(n) = S ai / S (ai + bi)
where U(n) is the utilization for n-tasks, ai the deltas for the idle task, S ai the summation of the deltas for the idle task, bi the deltas for all the nonidle tasks, and S (ai + bi) the summation of all the deltas for both the nonidle and idle tasks. This ratio gives the aggregate processor utilization for a single task technique.
This technique is superior to both duty-cycle techniques. First, there are no required changes to the task code because all changes occur within the task scheduler. Second, it does not require a great deal of analysis expertise to use; the code profiler utility translates the information for you. Third, no additional equipment is needed to gather the utilization information. Finally, this technique is easy to scale by adding more bins.
On the other hand, the "multiple tasks technique" is a variation of the single null task technique it is a scaled technique to provide better granularity at the individual task level. This technique uses multiple bins to store processor utilization information for each task. The multiple task technique has the ability to determine both aggregate and individual task utilization information.
It operates almost identically to the single null task technique, the main difference being there are more bins to manage. Consequently, the logic to manage them is also more complex. For example, instead of juggling between an idle and nonidle bin, the task scheduler has to keep track of one bin for every task. The upside of this added complexity is that no additional code changes are needed within any of the application tasks. A side effect of isolating the changes to the task scheduler is that they are transparent to the application. Listing Four is pseudocode for managing multiple tasks.
The multiple task technique is more flexible than the single task technique. Furthermore, it does not require a null task because the multiple task technique keeps track of all tasks rather than an idle and a nonidle one. It may be configured to profile aggregate utilization, individual utilization, or both concurrently. The multiple task technique is usable for either a small or large number of tasks. However, it may be hard to manage that many code changes for a large number of tasks.
The counter approach works well for finding processor utilization of an application composed of tasks. In fact, all of the empirical techniques discussed here provide processor utilization for tasks. While they do not include ISRs, utilization is easily added to the scope technique by inserting code into the ISR itself. The counter approaches also can be modified to deal with ISRs. They require more extensive modifications than the other approach. Specifically, it requires additional logic within the ISR to handle the ISR bin and its control.
An Example
To illustrate, I'll show how one of the empirical techniques can be used to determine processor utilization. Specifically, the product here is a real Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) test instrument that supports two 64K-baud and one 16K-baud channels (often referred to as Basic Rate Instrument, or BRI). The application supports 41 synchronized tasks, which have different priorities based on the external events they service. Moreover, the tasks are objects that are provided by the Real-Time eXecutive in C (RTXC), a preemptive multitasking RTOS that satisfies the requirements of the selected empirical technique. The application software runs on a proprietary hardware platform based on the Motorola 68360 processor.
The goal here is to determine if a current product has enough processing power to support an enhancement without a processor upgrade. Specifically, how much of the processor is utilized during a single channel test. The results can then be analyzed and scaled to see if there is enough bandwidth for the current product's processor to support 24 channels simultaneously.
To determine the worst-case processor utilization for BRI, the application must be stressed. This is done using one of the most processor-intensive ISDN tests the Basic Error Rate Test (BERT), which measures the quality of a channel. BERT operates by testing a single 64K-baud ISDN channel and sending a fixed sequence of 63 bits every 20 seconds. Bits are simultaneously received and compared against those sent. The results of the comparison yield the channel quality.
I selected the scope technique for this evaluation because it is accurate, general purpose, works for both bursty and nonbursty applications, and provides aggregate processor utilization. Furthermore, this technique is minimally invasive, requiring a minimum of code changes.
To use the scope technique, the application requires a couple of code additions to the null task and the scheduler. Listing Five is the modified RTXC null task. SET_P 1 is a macro that sets the output pin to a 5-volt logic level through the Xilinx part. Whenever the application is idle, the output pin is set to a 5-volt high-logic level. Listing Six is the relevant code within RTXC's scheduler. RTXC's scheduler routine, called postem(), handles ISR and task scheduling. The scheduler code resets the output pin to a 0-volt low-logic level when a context swap occurs. These changes allow monitoring of the output pin while it toggles on/off depending on the task. A high condition signifies the application/system is idle, while a low condition signifies it is doing some work. Once these code changes are complete and the scope is connected to the appropriate pin, the application is ready to test.
Figures 1 and 2 show two significant events of the BERT test. Figure 1, a waveform capture of the section that the application is busy exercising the channel, shows the area of interest over a one-second range. Figure 2, a greater magnification of the right side of Figure 1, shows the spikes of nonidle task time. Calculating total nonidle task time is accomplished by summing up all low-level waveforms of Figure 1. Starting from the first low edge of the large nonidle waveform, it produced a total of 670 milliseconds for all nonidle tasks. This translates to a processor utilization of 67 percent.
When comparing the scope technique to the multimeter technique, the multimeter reading on the same pin was 2.42 volts, which translated to 48.5 percent. As you can see, the multimeter approach does not give good accuracy because the test is run over 20 seconds, and most of that time is spent idle. To produce an accurate result for the multimeter technique, the 20-second period has to be normalized to one second. In other words, to get 3.35 volts that correspond to the 67 percent, you would have to put the multimeter lead on the pin at the start of the nonidle task, and remove it one second later. This is clearly impractical for this setup. Thus, the scope technique lets you focus on the area of interest, in this case the nonidle time, and analyze it to determine its normalized processor utilization for its worst-case usage.
The results from the BERT test verified that there was a problem the existing hardware would not be able to scale up and handle the simultaneous testing of 24 64K-baud channels. This verified the original analysis of the application based on deadlines and overall processor cycles available, which also concluded there was not enough processor bandwidth to accomplish our goal. Thus, the empirical test verified the analytical RMA analysis.
Keep in mind that the earlier you deal with the performance requirements, the less expensive the product costs to develop. Problems cost more to repair later in the development cycle. It costs more to fix bugs later in the development cycle than it would to use RMA initially. However, when it is not possible to use the first approach, the latter ones are at your disposal.

Baking is a fun tradition that many families share around Christmas. You might make Christmas cookies for the neighbors, for your family, or simply for yourself. If you are looking for some new Christmas cookie decorating ideas, you have come to the right place, but before you can decorate them, you will need to make them.
Making Christmas Sugar Cookies
- 1 1/2 cups softened butter
- 2 cups of white sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 5 cups of flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
Cream together the butter and white sugar until smooth. Next, beat in the eggs and vanilla until mixed thoroughly. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cover and chill the cookie dough for at least an hour. When the dough is chilled, roll it out on a floured surface until it is 1/4″ – 1/2″ thick.
Cut the dough into the desired Christmas shape either with a cookie cutter, or freehand. See below for cookie cutter ideas. Put the cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet, approximately 1″ apart. Bake at 400° F for 6 to 8 minutes and let them cool before decorating your cookies.
Christmas Cookie Decorating Ideas
The Snowflake Design (Use a snowflake cookie cutter in the process above).
- Purchase or make your favorite white icing.
- Put the icing either in a pastry bag or in a sandwich bag with one corner cut off about 1/8″ in from the tip.
- Pipe the icing in a snowflake pattern on the top of the cookies.
- Sprinkle edible sparkles on the wet icing.
The Reindeer Design (Use an oval cookie cutter in the baking process).
- Cut out the cookies into an oval shape using an oval cookie cutter.
- Before baking the cookies, stick two mini pretzels on each side of the reindeer's oval "head".
- Immediately after baking the cookies (while they are still hot), push mini M&M's into the front to create two eyes and a nose. Use a red M&M for Rudolph.
The Christmas Tree Design (Use a round cookie cutter in the baking process).
- Make a batch of your favorite white buttercream frosting recipe.
- Spread a layer of white buttercream frosting on each cookie.
- Before the icing dries, you're going to build your Christmas tree design from the bottom up.
- Using mini M&M's, place one brown candy at the bottom for the trunk. Just above that, create a triangle pattern out of green candy pieces, with a row of three, then a row of two, then one. Add one yellow candy piece to the top to make the shining star.
The Gingerbread Man Design (use a gingerbread man cookie cutter in the baking process).
- Frost the entire front of the cookie with your favorite white buttercream frosting.
- Use candy pieces to decorate the gingerbread man. Add licorice pieces for his collar and cuffs. Use mini M&M's for his buttons, eyes, and nose. Put a gumdrop on the tip of his hat. Get creative and make your gingerbread man an original.
Another Christmas Tree Design (Use a pine tree cookie cutter during the baking process).
- Melt white chocolate.
- Add green paste food coloring until it is your desired Christmas green.
- Dip the left half of the trees in the chocolate, leaving the entire right side undecorated.
- While the chocolate is still warm and wet, shake on some sprinkles to look like ornaments.

Today, we celebrate the fourth annual National Miners Day. In 2009, Congress proclaimed that each Dec. 6 would be recognized in remembrance of the 1907 Monongah coal mine disaster, which resulted in the deaths of 362 miners and became the worst industrial accident in American history.
The proclamation designates this date: "in appreciation, honor and remembrance of the accomplishments and sacrifices of the miners of our Nation; and encourages the people of the United States to participate in local and national activities celebrating and honoring the contributions of miners."
American miners play a much larger role in our lives than most people realize. They extract a variety of raw materials, such as coal, copper, phosphate, silver, limestone, iron and zinc — ores that are essential components in the products we use every day.

Coal, and the electricity generated by coal power, play prominent roles in our homes, businesses and communities. Miners produce the gravel, crushed stone, tar, asphalt, road salt and cement used to build the roads we travel on and to make them safer. The bridges we build to span canyons and rivers are built with rock and mineral products produced by miners.
Gold, silver and copper wiring, ceramic insulators and silicon processing and memory chips are essential components in electronics that we use daily, such as smartphones, computers and televisions.
Thousands of everyday consumer goods are made with the fundamental materials secured from the hard work of miners. They range from cosmetics to toothpaste, from cookware and dinnerware to appliances.
American miners work every day to provide the necessities of life. They deserve protection on the job from workplace hazards that have killed tens of thousands and injured hundreds of thousands of miners throughout our history.
We are making progress. In 1907, the same year as the Monongah disaster, 3,000 miners died in tragic accidents. Fatalities numbering in the thousands were not uncommon during the first years of the 20th century.
These numbers decreased to about 140 in the 1970s due in large part to the passage of the Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 and the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. The 1977 Act created the Mine Safety and Health Administration in the Department of Labor to oversee the safety and health of miners.
Thirty-five years later, we have seen the lowest fatality rate in this nation's history. And, through the "End Black Lung — Act Now" initiative and other occupational health efforts, we are making progress in limiting miners' exposure to respirable dust and other harmful contaminants.
While more needs to be done to prevent death, injury and illness in the nation's mines, our efforts and collaboration with labor and industry stakeholders are showing positive results.
We will continue to work hard to send miners home safe and healthy at the end of every shift. On this National Miners Day, we honor their contributions and thank them for the sacrifices they have made on behalf of this nation. We hope the American people will join us in commemorating this day of recognition.

In its first survey-based forecast of the year for corn and soybeans, USDA is projecting smaller production for soybeans than last month and a larger crop for corn.
Soybean yield prospects are lower due to dry weather in the western Corn Belt and Plains. Soybean yields are forecast at 39.6 bushels per acre, 1.1 bushels below last month's trend yield projection, and 3.7 bushels below last year's record yield.
The first survey-based forecast of U.S. soybean production is 2.93 billion bushels, 82 million bushels below the July forecast and 158 million bushels below last year's crop.
Yields are projected lower than 2005 throughout the Great Plains, the western Corn Belt, and the Gulf Coast States, while yields are expected to remain unchanged or increase in the Ohio Valley, Arkansas, Missouri, and the Atlantic Coast States. Area for harvest, at 73.9 million acres, remains unchanged from June but is up 4 percent from 2005.
Despite lower forecast production, exports and crush are unchanged.
Lower production and reduced carry-in leave ending stocks at 450 million bushels, down 110 million from last month. Soybean oil ending stocks were reduced this month, reflecting increased domestic soybean oil disappearance.
Recently released Census Bureau data indicate biodiesel production continues to expand rapidly.
The U.S. season-average soybean price for 2006-07 is projected at $5 to $6 per bushel, unchanged from last month. The soybean meal price is projected at $155 to $185 per short ton, also unchanged. Soybean oil prices are projected higher this month at 23 to 27 cents per pound.
In the Aug. 11, crop report, USDA projects 2006 corn production at 10.98 billion bushels, up 236 million from last month's forecast. Based on conditions as of Aug. 1, yields are expected to average 152.2 bushels per acre, up 4.3 bushels from last year. If realized, this yield would be the second largest and production would be the third largest on record.
The largest yield increase from last year is in Illinois where farmers expect to average 172 bushels per acre, 29 bushels above last year's drought-reduced yield.
The largest yield decreases are expected in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and North Dakota.
In USDA's supply and demand estimates, projected corn feed and residual use was increased 75 million bushels, while ending stocks were increased 155 million bushels. The projected price range was decreased 10 cents on each end to $2.15 to $2.55 per bushel.
Forecast 2006 sorghum production is down sharply from last month's projection, trimming domestic use and exports.
The projected 2006-07 price range for sorghum is decreased 10 cents on each end to $1.95 to $2.35 per bushel to reflect the overall increase in feed supplies.

Scenes from Chefs' Holidays, Part II: With Lucques, Peet's, CulinAriane and Wilshire
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CA — You may know that Chef Suzanne Goin of Lucques, AOC, the Tavern and the Larder, all in Los Angeles, is married to Chef David Lentz of The Hungry Cat in Los Angeles.
But you might not know exactly how the two met.
I knew part of the story, but not all of the details — until I asked Goin about it when I was the moderator for her cooking demo at the 28th annual Chefs' Holidays event at the Ahwahnee Hotel.
Thankfully, she was a good enough sport to spill the beans before a rapt audience.
"So, Suzanne…" I asked, "David just happened to be dining at Lucques. And your sister just happened to be dining next to him that night? And the two of them just started talking?"
Goin chuckled and said, "There's a part of the story that David doesn't like me to tell, so don't tell him I'm telling you all this. He thinks it makes him sound like a stalker."
She went on to explain that in 1999, she was named one of Food & Wine magazine's "Best New Chefs." She appeared on the cover with the other honored chefs. She was the only woman among them.

Hi everyone. I'm brand new here and this is my first post. I joined the forum expressly to ask other trans guys about this. I'm REALLY hoping you guys have had experiences and advice that will help me out here.
So, I've only recently (about 6 months ago) have been able to accept that I'm full on trans ftm, and not just a cross dressing lesbian, or gender fluid, or whatever other terms I've cycled through over the years. After finally accepting it, I've also come to the conclusion that I'm going to have to start taking some steps toward transitioning or I'm not going to have a happy life. The dysphoria is starting to affect my work, and I've had to call out sick on a few rare occasions because of it. So here's the deal:
I'm looking for a therapist to help me start out (Anyone in the Atlanta GA area who has a recommendation, please let me know.) But I've also decided I really need T. Like big time. Working out until I'm nearly dead isn't cutting it anymore. Building muscle is next to impossible for me. I've gained some weight, but not much. I'm still only 100lbs soaking wet. Anyway, back to the point of this thread.
I have a job that I love. I've been at it for three years. I have great coworker relations and I'm damned good at what I do. I've gotten several raises and lots of praise from management. I believe I'm quite indispensable to them. BUT I already know management isn't completely LGBT friendly. They accept that I have a wife, and are civil about that, but when I try to tlak LGBT issues at work it's frowned upon. So...
...how do I keep my job when I start transitioning? Right now my best idea is to go to management, sit down with them, explain what's going on and take a leave of absence (maybe three months?) Then come back with y new name, pronouns and T developing body. This is assuming they don't fire me when I tell them I'm transitioning. I'd REALLY like some life experiences from guys who've done this, or advice from guys who've tried to keep their jobs while transitioning. Anything would be helpful. I just want to hear what's happened to other guys like me before I dive head first into this, which I'll be doing as soon as I find a therapist I like.
I know this was long. Thanks for reading.
Starting T: how to keep my job?

- Team of the Week
Brilliant Bale & deadly duo up front in Team of the Week
Us little Englanders usually howl at the sight of a goalkeeper choosing to punch rather than catch a cross, but David Moyes won't mind a jot after Tim Howard's jab at the ball released Kevin Mirallas to score Everton's winner against Stoke. On a weekend of modest keeping displays, Howard's assist, combined with fine saves from Robert Huth and Jonathan Walters, secures him our hallowed green jersey.
Like a fine wine, Sylvain Distin seems to get better with age. The 35-year-old threw himself into the assault on the senses that a game against Stoke represents with gusto, and came out with a victory and a clean sheet to boot. Alongside the ever honest Phil Jagielka, Distin was an assured presence and shackled the likes of Peter Crouch, Cameron Jerome and Kenwyne Jones with aplomb. At this rate, Distin should have a few good years in him yet.
Alexander Buttner's TOTW inclusion does come with a caveat - that Sunderland were admittedly awful against Manchester United in a game that proved Martin O'Neill's last as manager of the Wearside club. But, they still had to be beaten and though Buttner wasn't overworked in a defensive sense, his probing forward runs and intelligent link play offered United's fans hope that he could prove an able successor to Patrice Evra in the long term.
Is there a better defender in the Premier League than Jan Vertonghen at present? The Belgian has emerged as an integral part of Tottenham's charge for Champions League football, proving an invaluable asset at both ends of the field. I'd happily anoint him captain of TOTW for the two exquisite touches that led to his goal alone but once again, his all-round display was excellent.
The same Swansea fans that cheered Gareth Bale's every move during their World Cup qualifier with Croatia were no doubt cursing his name after another virtuoso display at the Liberty Stadium. Providing an astute pass for Vertonghen's opener Bale scored a goal of breath-taking quality, a mere shuffle of the feet controlling and fizzing the ball into the corner of the net before Michel Vorm even had a chance to move. And showcasing his defensive responsibilities, Bale tracked Nathan Dyer into the box to provide an important block in stoppage time.
Man of the match: Gervinho. Just let that sink in for a while. The much maligned Ivory Coast international was like a winger reborn on Saturday for Arsenal, albeit against surely-doomed Reading. Tapping home a simple first Gervinho could have had a hat-trick before half-time as he ripped into the Royals' ropey defence. Perhaps realising he should stick at one, he then turned creator, teeing up Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud for the second and third goals, before departing to standing ovation.
A commanding midfield performance, a brilliant goal, an assist and a walk-on part in one of the funniest dismissals of the season ensures West Ham's Gary O'Neil gets a TOTW shirt. The former Middlesbrough midfielder sent in an inviting corner for Andy Carroll to nod the Hammers' first against West Brom before his cute, curling effort from the box edge doubled their lead. And after an innocuous clip on Youssuf Mulumbu in injury time, O'Neil became target practice for the Congolese's giggle-inducing rage.
David Silva barely had to ease out of third gear to play a fulsome part in Manchester City's destruction of Newcastle, prompting and probing from his berth at the apex of Roberto Mancini's midfield. Silva slotted Gael Clichy in down the left as the full back created Carlos Tevez's first and grabbed the second with a neat slice of control and a powerful finish after Samir Nasri's offload. And it was his corner that led to the third goal, scored by returning captain Vincent Kompany.
We've already mentioned how poor Sunderland were but in this form, Michael Carrick would surely have schooled any Premier League opponent. He looked so calm in possession, England fans might be forgiven for wondering where this sort of form was in the second half versus Montenegro. The 31-year-old oozed composure when all those in red and white shirts desperately harried round the field looking for an ounce of it to call their own. A class act.
It seems Big Sam's Friday moan about his misfiring strikers had the desired effect - it certainly pricked up Andy Carroll's ears. Just a day after bemoaning a lack of potency in his Hammers outfit, Carroll responded with a barnstorming display against West Brom, showcasing the power and finesse at his disposal with a bullet header and a deft over-the-shoulder volley. As soon as the match was over, and in typical fashion, Big Sam was back to banging on about a permanent deal for the big Geordie in the summer.
Even Distin might wince when thinking about a potential duel with Carroll and our other powerhouse TOTW striker, Rickie Lambert. The journeyman now has 14 goals in his debut Premier League season but his superb free-kick against Chelsea must surely rank as his best. The 31-year-old also created space for Saints' first, drifting out to the wing before a cute ball inside for Jay Rodriguez, who then swapped passes with Steven Davis to register Southampton's first.
As for our gaffer of the week, step forward Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine might not have a decent grasp of English yet but I'll bet he knows the phrase 'giant killing' after he added a home win over Chelsea to victories against Manchester City and Liverpool. A spirited display against a much-changed Blues outfit grabbed him a vital win and set him up nicely for next week's visit to Reading and a potentially spicy meeting with the man he deposed, Nigel Adkins.

Looking to buy tickets to the NFC Championship Game between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field in Seattle? If you have a credit card with a billing address in California, you will not be able to buy tickets through the Seattle Seahawks' web site, the team announced.
Tickets, which go on sale Monday, will only be available to fans with billing addresses in Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Alaska, Hawaii and the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta.
If you have a billing address outside these areas, you will have to go through secondary ticket markets like the NFL Ticket Exchange and Stub Hub.
The move heavily reserves seats in the stadium for the Seahawks' fan base known as the "12th Man." It is also an attempt to limit scalping.
The NFC Championship Game will be played on Sunday Jan. 19 at 3:30 p.m. PT.
