With conferences coming up, you may be wondering what's the best way to use your 15 minutes with the teacher. Kelly Wickham, an assistant principal at a magnet school for technology in the Midwest, wrote a blog for Babble with conversation starters to help parents get specific information they need about how their children are doing academically. Here is her advice.
"For Parents:
"1. What are the skills my child will be expected to learn this year and how is she doing so far? If she masters them, will she be challenged with other material? You can go into the learning styles of your child – kinesthetic, visual, auditory – to help understand the how of their learning new material. If you know what the skills are, you will know what they can work on at home.
"2. How is progress monitored in your classroom and what do you do when my child doesn't learn the material? How does this affect their grade? Speaking of grades, ask teachers what percentage tests, quizzes, in-class assignments, and homework is worth. This is key. This also opens up the door to discuss classroom accommodations or what we call RtI, a Response to Intervention. Also, ask if organizational issues are part of the overall grades because THEY SHOULD NOT BE. If students are learning how to do something they ought not be penalized harshly for it.
"3. How much classroom time is used to get ready for State and local assessments that you have to give? Do these things line up with the State Standards or the Common Core? Good assessments don't take time away from intended learning just so you can have students ready to pass the test, but address the skills that students need to master by age-appropriate time at each grade level."
Our elementary school has conferences for every child. Our middle school doesn't do conferences for every child. If your child is having trouble of if you request it they will see you. I'm not sure how Walsh's new school is going to handle conferences but they are very available via email if you have questions.
Do you find conferences to be useful or are you talking to the teacher already if your child is having problems?

Agree with @Beck. Sometimes the topics here are light and fluffy. This is a great one and I can't wait to see responses since we have conference next Tuesday!

What TV shows are you watching?
What awards does my kid have a chance at winning?
What kind of coffee is that you are drinking, and can I have a taste?
Can my boy bring a cooler into classroom, so he won't be so hungry when he gets home?
Can I inspect your phone to make sure it is compliant to the "Moms with phones glued to their ears" standard?
Can my kids bring pillows?
Did the boy say anything about the nice policeman visiting our house last night?…or anything about dad being naked and wearing a spike dog collar in the back seat of the nice policeman's car?
Do you mind if I call the boy's father to make sure that he vacuumed the den….or his testicles will pay?

Conferences…if possible it is wonderful to have DAD go to the conference ( without Mom). This shows that he is interested. YES you will survive even if he does not tell you everything you think you might need to know.
I had a parent ( who owned a restaurant) bring me a large salad at conference time. I REALLY appreciated it as I was stuck in that room without any food. I did this for other teachers. I did NOT bring home made goodies, as I do not like them. Pick something up, if you feel inclined. NO you do not have to do this but it does show that you are thinking of the teacher and he/she may appreciate it more than a Christmas candle or ornament. My daughter's third grade teacher still reminds me of how this brightened her day.
Questions… What is one thing, as parent, I can do to help my child this year….be honest.
What are my child's strong areas…weak areas?
Is my child working up to his/her potential?
# 3 is making me laugh as I hear lots of schools are so worried about the assessments that they cannot think of anything else. I had a principal cancel my monthly Kinder shows as she said,
… We cannot afford to waste 30 minutes per month…we have common core to think about….
The teachers tried their best to change her mind but it was futile.
I am thinking:
30 minutes per month is about 7-8 minutes per week or less than 2 minutes per day. I am SURE they waste 2 minutes per day on many other things that do not involve language to literacy.
Luckily, I have replaced their slot with other schools.
You wait 2 minutes for everyone to use the bathroom ( while chatting with another teacher) or if a parent comes in to ask a question.
I know teachers who have retired over all of the hassles with assessments and these are good teachers. SAD day for sure.

Great list of questions to ask. I would also ask how my child is doing socially, I.e. does he share, talk out of turn, etc. I used to ask the teacher to recommend several books or authors that would be good for supplemental reading. If you are new to an area, what places should you be taking your children to visit that support this year's units of study. Even if you aren't new to the area, you might be surprised by the answer to this type of question.

@ Mother of 2…good ideas!
October 10th, 2013

We basically approached it much the same as a "performance evaluation" in that we asked the teachers to explain the goals and objectives, asked what we, as parents, could do to assist, and then asked for any risks or concerns, if any, from both the teachers' perspectives as well as ours.
This seemed to work quite well. And @MJG, as the father, I never once missed a parent-teacher conference. We always went together so I don't exactly agree that I should have gone alone.
October 10th, 2013
7:58 am
@ Me…if you go with your wife…that is amazing. My hat is off to you.
Some women try to take over the conversation and thus the teacher does not really get to know the Dad. When I taught, I saw this quite often and know that I too would do most of the talking if we went together, so I asked my husband to go alone. Teachers are usually pretty good at reading people and sometimes they can see which strengths and weaknesses come from which parent ( if they have them one on one) . I was a much better student than my husband but he is far SUPERIOR at technology and projects for class.
HAHA…I once had a DAD say he was coming to the conference ( presumably to give me the WHAT FOR).. After we chatted and I carefully explained the problem ( with another adult in there with me) …his WIFE was the one who got the WHAT FOR. Hmmmm….

"You wait 2 minutes for everyone to use the bathroom ( while chatting with another teacher) or if a parent comes in to ask a question."
So you think they should skip bathroom breaks for a month to make time for your program?

You should ask, "How can I get involved in my child's education? What can I do to help improve their learning abilities? How can I help you teach my child?" and similar questions. Teachers love it when the parents are really involved and concerned about their children's education, and not just leave it up to the teachers to handle it. The teacher is not a babysitter. The teacher is not a replacement parent. The teacher is just one of many tools in the upbringing of your child. The most important tool is YOU.
Something else to ask: "How can I help my child apply what they are learning, or how can I help them understand how what they're learning/have learned is applied in the real world?" Many students fail or barely pass because they aren't taught to apply what they've learned anywhere other than in the classroom. For example, if a child is learning a certain function in math, where the question "When will I ever have to use *this*?" is often asked, demonstrate how that function is applied in the real world. Yes, there are word problems that provide simple scenarios, but how often do you come across two friends, one with three apples, the other with seven, and one gives the other their apples? I don't recall a single time that's been done, except maybe at a fruit stand. But, if your child is learning something like percentages, then you can demonstrate how it's applied in the real world, such as adding 7% for sales tax to the total grocery bill, figuring out a price when a "25% off" sale is advertised, and other similar real-world scenarios.
I once had an RCA TV that had its own on-screen TV guide, I think run by TV Guide. On many episodes of "Sesame Street", the description read what the episode was about, then gave a "Parent Tip", with something like an arts-and-crafts project, or somehow applying the lesson from the episode. One dealt with Baby Bear wanting to send an e-mail, and computers in general. The Parent Tip suggested taking your child on errands and show how computers are used daily, with things like the cash register at the grocery store, the ATM machine at the bank, and other places.

Well since I do check the grades online and see the grades that come home in the back pack. I don't need to hear how she is doing because I already see it.
I need to understand what new information the teacher will bring to the table that I have not/could not go get on my own. It is a waste of time to sit in a meeting where they read to me off something they then give me a copy to keep. I CAN read. (My previous boss did awesome wth my reviews. She would hand me the paper and say here read this and tell me what YOU want to talk about or what you need more information on.)
Conferences should actually only be scheduled if the parent requests or if the student is in the "danger zone" otherwise they are a waste of everyones time. I am not interested in a long term relationship with the teacher so I do not need "face time."
@ Shaggy….I LOVE THAT LIST. I may print it and take it to the mandatory conference next week.
October 10th, 2013
9:02 am
@ Patrick, I agree that the parent needs to be involved that is why I check all the data that comes home. I email the teacher when I have a question. I respond when emailed by the teacher. I am absolutely in favor of working with the teacher. I just don't think these 15 min meetings are the way to accomplish it.
October 10th, 2013
9:26 am
@FCM – There's only so much you can accomplish with e-mails and other computerized data that reflects your child's performance. When you attend an actual, face-to-face, parent-teacher conference, you can learn a whole lot more about your child's educational environment. You can see the personality of the teacher more up close. You can see what the child sees on a daily basis. Most parent-teacher conferences take place in the classroom, at, or in the vicinity of, the child's assigned seat in the classroom. The parent can see what their child sees. This can validate claims from the child, everything from not being able to see the chalkboard well, to other students throwing things at them, and anything in between. They can see if there is anything that could interrupt or distract their child from learning, and offer suggestions on how to remedy these interruptions or distractions.
I used to complain to my parents that I had a hard time seeing the chalkboard when I was in 2nd Grade. My parents thought my eyesight was going bad, so they took me to an eye doctor and get an eye exam. My eyes tested out normal. I told them I was sitting in the far back of the classroom, and that made it hard to see the chalkboard. When my mom went to talk to the teacher, she sat where I sat, and came home that evening and apologized. The next day, the teacher moved me to the second row of the classroom, making it easier to see the chalkboard.

Patrick has excellent ideas. The info from the "Babble" blog is all about what the teacher is doing. Education is not just in the classroom. A good education involves the teacher, student and appropriate parental support. When I first started teaching parents regularly asked what they should be doing to support their children–what activities might help, what discussions would encourage growth, etc. When I retired that question had almost vanished from parent-teacher conferences. It was a gradual but noticeable decline in the 20 years that I taught high school. Whether it was at these quarterly teacher conferences or at conferences held at either the parents' or my request, the question about parental help simply began to die out.

@ HB…NO…I have seen teachers standing the hallway, with the entire class, chatting.
Sorry that was not clear.
My point was that I think everyone I know, wastes at least 2 minutes each day, including me.
Some of us waste it here…haha! But it does add to a bit of variety.
Yay Patrick!

@ Patrick, I will certainly keep that in mind when I go to my conference. I have told this story about my left handed child: She was seated next to a child also at a desk. My child was at the right hand side of the 2 desks. The other child was right handed. I was at the Open House and asked the teacher why she had not moved Susie so her arm would not hit the other child (right and left elbow tangle). She said well Susie does her work in her lap not her desk. I looked right at the teacher and said do you think that is why you keep telling me her penmanship is not good? Or that she gets distracted by what is in her desk? The teacher said well if Susie would tell me she needs a new seat… I said um, Susie is 9! She is a child. Move the kid. It took over a week but she got her seat moved and those "issues" went away like magic. I have been in the rooms for both my children this year. I do that at Open House, so I feel I have seen what my child sees.
@ Real Life…I DO ask that question. As soon as I know who the children's teachers are, I ask them what I can do to help Susie and Sallie be successful.
I do partner with both the teachers and more importantly the Counselor/Asst Principal at the school. Here is why I say more important: those 2 people will be with my child for the whole time they are in the school. The teacher is there for a term (MS) or the year (ES) they are important for the moment (although what they teach may last a lifetime) but in reality in the following term/year we start all over again.

I go to all conferences, but it's a weird dynamic. My kids both go to my wife's school. I'm sitting there with my wife and her co-worker. They have unintentional coded discussion about standards and how my kids are doing, and I have to ask for translation.
It's nuts. Looking forward to middle school.
October 10th, 2013

FCM – The problem with going only once a year is that you're seeing what your child's seeing at that point of the school year. I'm not a parent, but as a former student, I can't count the number of times any of my teachers have rearranged the seating charts of their classes throughout the school year. For a couple of months I might be sitting towards the back of the classroom, then I'll move towards the front, then I might be stuck somewhere in the middle, then the front again, then in the back again. Other times the layout of the desks could change. On the night of Open House, the desks could be arranged as you mentioned, but three months later, the teacher could have chosen a different arrangement.

My husband has never missed a conference or curriculum night. Our 2nd grader is dyslexic so we have lots of questions. I will keep these in mind for next week's conference. Sometimes I think we get so caught up in the dyslexia part of things (ie trying to tackle one hurdle at a time) that we forget to ask questions about the overall educational goals.

I can guarantee at I'm going to ask a certain teacher why she felt the need to humiliate my child for making a mistake reading a map. The teacher reportedly yelled at my child in front of the entire class for marking her map incorrectly. Pull her aside, work with her, show her the error, all fine. Call her out in front of the entire class? Not a chance. I need to hear teacher's side of the story which I get address at conferences. It takes a lot to rattle this child and she was pretty upset. I will almost bet she doesn't even know who my child is and will complain about how many students she has. Don't care!

Gay couples have gone to court in New Jersey because they say the state is standing in the way of their getting benefits made available by the federal government.
A judge heard arguments on Thursday from lawyers for the couples and for the state on whether New Jersey must allow gay marriages.
Haley Groenberg, an attorney with Lambda Legal, is representing six civil union couples who presented arguments to a judge calling for New Jersey to legalize gay marriage
Louise Wolpan and Marsha Shapiro have been together for 24 years. They say they want to be treated the same as everyone else, especially so they can have the benefits of a married couple, including health benefits
In June the United States Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act, saying that Section 3 was unconstitutional because it allowed states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages granted under the laws of other states. But now that the federal government is giving benefits to married same-sex couples, it was this ruling that led couples like Keith Heimann and Tom Davidson, who have two children, to file a new motion this summer in New Jersey.
A lawyer for the state said that civil union couples can still receive some federal benefits even if New Jersey doesn't legalize gay marriage.
The judge said she will rule no earlier than September.

Mac never had any special food requests. He just ate whatever I cooked and placed before him. That made meal preparation easy. If I tried a new recipe, he never had any negative comments.
Since Mac never told me what food he was craving, I would often give him two choices and he would tell me which out of the two he preferred. This particular day I remember I asked him, "Do you want Macaroni & Cheese or Potatoes?" His favorite starch was potatoes so it surprised me when he chose Macaroni & Cheese. That was good because I had a new recipe I had wanted to try. It came from inside the paper that is wrapped around a 12 oz. can of Carnation Evaporated Milk.
Usually when I prepare Macaroni & Cheese, I make a cheese sauce using all my leftover cheeses in the refrigerator (a good way to use up those bits of leftover cheeses). This recipe is a KEEPER. I see no reason instead of just cheddar cheese you could also add any leftover cheeses you might have on hand. That choice would be yours. All good cooks know that when you cook, no rule is set in "concrete." All you beginners don't be afraid to experiment and implement your own ideas.
Carnation Macaroni & Cheese
1 cup (about 7 oz.) dry small elbow macaroni, cooked and drained (I prefer large so that's what I used)
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. salt (I omitted since cheese is salty)
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 (12 oz.) Carnation Evaporated Milk
1 cup water
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
2 (16 oz.) cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
Preheat oven to 375 degress. Grease 2 quart casserole dish.
Combine cornstarch, salt, mustard and pepper in medium saucepan.
Stir in evaporated milk, water and butter.
Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil.
Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 and 1/2 cups cheese until melted.
Add macaroni; mix well. Pour into prepared casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and light brown.

Google is targeting Siri with its new operating system.
Along with the Nexus 7 tablet and the orb-shaped Nexus Q streaming media player, Google spent a huge chunk of its Google I/O conference talking about its next version of Android: 4.1 aka Jellybean.
Whereas Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich was released to combine 2.3 Gingerbread (smartphones) and 3.0 Honeycomb (tablets) together, 4.1 Jellybean is a modest OS update that smooths out all of ICS's kinks, for the most part.
Google claims that Android 4.1 Jellybean is "faster, smoother and more responsive" than any other version of Android thanks to a new triple buffering technique that provides more consistent rendering across animations and scrolling.
A few weeks ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that Google was accelerating plans to launch its own Siri competitor, and today Google unveiled its redesigned search protocol. Voice search is much faster and according to attendees, voice assistant sounds very natural — almost human-like.
Google says that the new UI is "using the power of the Knowledge Graph for search results." Throw any question at the voice search and a voice assistant will try to give you the best answer. It's just like Siri, only it's by Google, meaning it should have much more collected data than Apple does.
But, as Google reminds everyone, artificial intelligence is only as smart as what you tell it. So, there's a new feature in Jellybean called "Google Now." Google Now is like a researcher. If you give it access to your calendar and search history, the AI will start to learn what you may want. It's like your own personal archiver that gets smarter and smarter with every piece of data it mines from you.
For example, it could learn your schedule pattern and tell you when is the best time to leave your house to avoid traffic-laden routes or keep the status of a flight for you. And just like the new version of Siri that will launch this fall in iOS 6, Google's voice search is a sport fan. It'll keep you updated on your favorite sports teams.
One of the things Android does better than any other mobile OS is notifications. It's extremely handy and powerful, and in Jellybean notifications are even more useful than ever.
All notifications can be expanded and collapsed with two fingers, emails can be answered with pre-programmed quick replies or custom messages,
Another neat feature is Google+ photo integration with notifications. Photos shared on Google+ will now show up in notifications where you can +1 them or share them without having to go into the Google+ app. The same can be said for other apps such as Foursquare, where you can like and comment on someone's check-in.
All in all, Jellybean looks to be a slick update to Ice Cream Sandwich. All Google needs now is for more devices to get the update. Can Android 4.1 Jellybean buck the slow adoption rate that was ICS?
Android 4.1 Jellybean will be available as an over the air (OTA) update in mid-July for the Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Xoom tablet.

What would you know about Kemp, a hyena reject? He told me he had some past dealings with a gang and he refused to be our runner.
The kid was hiding something from me.
He's not really the aggressive type. At all. Pretty submissive. As for who he is running with, it can be a little hard to gauge. You know, being a reject trying to hang with the gang sort. And submissive? Harder to find a niche. Could ask around though. Or him.

Blackberry getting kicked out of countries?
Posted: 08/09/10 06:00 AM
Stories about Middle East conflict are nothing new. But they generally don't involve the Blackberry. That's what's going on now, however, as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries are trying to limit or even block what a Blackberry can do. The Canadian company that makes Blackberry, Research in Motion or RIM is said to be in negotiations to keep their products online.
At issue is Blackberry's encryption, which makes messages sent from it very hard to spy on. These countries want to be able to do that.
We explore the issue and what it might mean for people who use Blackberries in the United States. If you have a Blackberry are your messages any more secure than your friend who uses an Android or an iPhone or just uses a regular old cell phone to send messages?
We talk to Jonathan Zittrain about it. He's the co-director and co-founder of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard, where he also teaches law and economics. We also talk to privacy and security researcher Chris Soghoian says think again about who can see our messages whether we go to Dubai or not.

What will we do with all this "white space"?
There's a vote coming up this week in Washington that will have a big impact on how you use the internet, what's available to you, how much faster you'll be able to get things online. On Thursday, the FCC is expected to open up unused parts of the broadcast spectrum, a lot of people call it "white space". This is space that was positioned to be something of a buffer between television stations but such padding is proving less essential since the conversion to digital TV.
On today's show, we talk to Glenn Fleishman from Wi-Fi Networking News and The Economist about how the spectrum works and what kind of new space we're talking about. We also check in with Tim Wu from Columbia Law School about the companies that will look to use the space and what it all might mean for you and me as internet consumers.

If you used one word to describe Istanbul, it would have to be hospitality. The idea of inviting a friend or a stranger in for tea is a cornerstone of the culture, and as such, it's bred an incredible sense of service in the country. During the day, you are welcomed into stores with calls of "come have tea," from local salesmen. At night, it's a similar pitch with wine and the native spirit, Raki.
With 14 million residents, Istanbul is one of the most densely populated places in Europe, so it's best to pick a specific neighborhood. Sultanahmet (The Old City) and Beyoðlu (surrounding the famous Istiklal Avenue) are both rife with drinking options.
The city is sprawling, with tile-roofed houses wrapping along the coast, and communities built inland up and down the green hills. At sunset, the silhouettes of mosques stand out in black relief along the skyline, their domes and spires creating an endless mural of curves and spikes. Aim high. Literally.
Defne Restaurant, in Sultanahmet, is a quick walk from the famous Blue Mosque and has a great front patio for people watching. If you climb the three flights up the spiral staircase inside, you alight to an incredible view of the water and the city lights beyond. If you go, you'll also get to know the staff, who all love to pepper you with questions about your home country and are equally happy to help you learn a bit of their own language. The fare is hearty Turkish, with a bit of Western flair in the presentation. The beer is ice cold and comes in large glasses, and their rooftop seating includes long couches, meaning you can truly relax over drinks.
Try: Efes Beer. The most common label in Turkey, it's that nation's equivalent of Bud Light. It's a great choice for cutting through the rich oils and spices of Turkish food. About $3.50.
Details: 011-0212-458-9161; www.defnecafebar.com
Directly opposite Istanbul's oldest hotel, the luxurious Pera Palace in the Beyoðlu neighborhood, is a dainty little spot with stained glass windows, high-top street-side tables and eloquent takes on Turkish cuisine. It's tightly packed in the small space, which simply means you'll get a good whiff of what your neighbors ordered — particularly when it's one of lamb dishes like their exceptional sirloin. They also offer a lovely degustation menu and a simple glass of the house red, white or rose wine will run about $8 American.
Definitely drink: Some Raki. A common pre-dinner request in Turkey, it's an anise-flavored spirit (similar to absinthe or ouzo) meant to pair with the meze. They offer more than a dozen labels.

Yet again, I'm selling some clothes.
- A few American Apparel bits - skirt, boob tube, hoody.
- A cardigan with horses and horse shoes on it.
- Some nautical themed clothes.
- Leopard print skirt.
- Lion top.
- And other fun stuff.
So please have a look, re blog, post the link on your facebook/twitter. I am so so skint right now and there are Rancid tickets I would like to buy on Friday.
So please and thanks.
Enchanting, captivating and luminous.
As you can see it's been spritzed once or twice as a tester but I have so many perfumes I've just not used it. Comes with box.
£5 inc postage
Avon Advance Techniques Colour Protection Lock-In Treatment
"Extend the life of your hair colour with at least 5 times more protection against colour fade. Maintain hair's fresh-out-of-the-salon look."
£4 inc postage.
Bottle is pretty much full, as you can see.
rrp £50
I just found these, I forgot I had them!
I now own the American Apparel disco pants, and thus never got around to wearing these. These are identical and I bought them at the start of the year, they've only been worn to try on, however I have lost the tags.
They're a size 12 but have a lot of stretch in them like the American Apparel ones.
They also have the back/bum pockets which are actual pockets.
I cba to put them on ebay, so £40 inc postage, which I will post tomorrow if they're paid for tonight, or Friday if paid tomorrow. So they're almost half the price of American Apparel ones, and Topshop as far as I know have stopped selling them. I am open to reasonable offers.
I can also take photos tomorrow but the lighting in my house is crap. Honestly they're identical, just a bit thinner, but still with the stretch and sucking in power and pockets!

Webinar – 'NetFlow – The De Facto Standard for Traffic Analytics'
With ever-growing enterprise networks, a lot of concerns arise with regard to network usage. Traffic analytics becomes a key aspect in order to ensure:
* Productive usage of the network bandwidth
* Secure network
* Continuous availability of the network
and a lot of other associated factors.
The dependence on the network is ever-increasing. This dependence in a way boosts productivity of the organization but the flip-side is that the bandwidth usage for applications other than that concerning business will heavily impact the flow of business activities. Unproductive bandwidth usage leads to bandwidth competition between the different applications using the network. This could even le…

Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at firstname.lastname@example.com!
Hi Kerry, A question on official stat-keeping from a daily reader. In Monday night's Devils/Habs game, P.K. Subban saved his Carey Price's bacon with a couple of goal line saves. Both were shots on goal, but weren't saved by Carey Price. How is that type of situation recorded by the official scorer? Love the column,Dean Graddon Hi Dean:
Thanks for being a loyal reader of C'mon Ref!
Prior to the NHL's implementation of Real-Time Scoring in the 1998-99 season, both a shot on goal and a save credited to the goalkeeper would have been recorded in the official stats even though a defenceman might have made the stop.
The reason for this was that pre-1998, "shot-blocks," "missed shots" and a host of other statistics was not counted. There were times when I saw a shot going wide of the net but the goalie caught the puck and he was credited with a save. Some goalies paid very close attention to "shots on goal" that was visible on the time clock. Some goalies even asked me to make sure they got credit for a save when it wasn't recorded on the score clock no differently than a skater asking for an assist on a goal.
In Monday night's Devils/Habs game P.K. Subban would have been credited with a "shot-block". No "shot on goal" or "save" (to Carey Price) would be listed in the official stats.
I provide you with the definition of a shot: Shot: A shot on goal occurs when an attempt by an attacking player, with intent to score a goal, either results in a goal or would have entered the goal if not stopped by the goaltender.
There is also a stat for "missed shots" which would involve any shot that is off the net; wide or above the crossbar even if the goalkeeper was to catch or stop the puck. Judgment must be implemented by the Real Time Scorers to determine how and where to record each stat. Each off-ice crew is provided with a Situation Manual to guide them through various situations and to maintain consistent statistical recording from one NHL game to the next.
Rule 37 presently outlines the duty of the Real Time Scorers to electronically record all official statistics for the game played. The five person crew located in the press box can utilize video review to confirm their record keeping decisions and are specifically assigned as follows:
- Two (2) Stats Entry Scorers
- Two (2) Time on Ice Scorers - Home and Visitors
- Event Analyst
Assigned by the League to oversee the Real Time Scorers, and the data collected is a Scoring System Manager (SSM), an off-ice official who is required to work one of the five (5) positions noted above in each game played. "Spotters" are also utilized to assist this five person crew (especially recording individual player's time on ice) since the game is played at such a fast pace in Real Time.
Real Time Stats are kept so in many different categories during a game they can provide instant feedback to coaches and fans alike as a tool to help analyze player performance and make adjustments.
I talked with an NHL coach the other day who said his team got beat 3-1 in a game where they outshot their opponents by the wide margin of approximately 42 to 28. The GM was irate his team lost the game while the coach was pleased with his players' energy level and effort. Perhaps not thinking about job security the coach response to the GM was, "We just need more players that can score." Ouch! The stats told the Real Time story in this case.

This test is to find out if your Talkback (chat) Cable has failed, or the X12, X11, or X1 mic. It is for the PC only, not for the Mac. For a PC mic test for PX22, PX21, or Kilo, et al, click here.
- If the microphone works with the PC but not with the Xbox 360, then your mic is good but you need to replace the Talkback Cable.
- If the microphone does NOT work on your PC then the headset's microphone must be defective, and replacing the Talkback Cable will not fix the problem.
Chat problems (such as intermittent connection, static, etc.) can be caused not only by the Talkback Cable, but also by the Xbox 360 controller, which may have a loose jack from usage. For more info on this, click here.
First, make sure that the headset's Mic Switch is in the ON position (not muted, green light). If the Mic Switch is in the MUTE position (red light), the mic will not work. Switch it back and forth to clear out anything that might have built up on the contacts. If that's not the problem, then try the headset's mic with your PC to see if the level is OK.
- Don't try to use any chat programs such as Skype, Ventrilo, or TeamSpeak; start with no programs open on your computer.
- Disconnect the Talkback Cable from the headset when connecting to PC.
Connect your X12, X11, or X1 headset to your PC:
1) Take the pink plug from the headset and plug it into the pink jack (microphone input) on your PC's soundcard.
2) Take the green plug from the headset and plug it into the green jack (Front L/R Out or Line Out) on your PC's soundcard.
3) Take the USB plug from the headset and insert it into a USB port on the PC (not a USB hub).
Procedure for WINDOWS 7 and WINDOWS VISTA:
1) Click Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Recording tab.
2) Under the Recording tab, you will see all options available for recording; "Microphone" should be one of them. (If you don't see an option for Microphone, make sure your headset's pink mic plug is connected securely to the PC's pink mic jack. Also, right-click in the window and make sure that "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices" are both checked.)
3) Left-click on the Microphone option to highlight it. Left-click the Properties button toward the bottom-right of the window. You should see the Properties for your recording (input) devices. One of these should be Microphone.
4) Left-click on the Levels tab. Adjust the on-screen "Microphone" and "Microphone Boost" controls to at least half-way up. If your Mic Boost control is a simple check box, please make sure it is checked (enabled). You should hear your microphone in your headset or speakers.
5) Once the levels are adjusted to your satisfaction, click OK, and OK again to save your settings. You can then close the Control Panel. Your microphone should now be ready!
6) Create a test recording. Go to: Start > All Programs > Accessories > Sound Recorder. Click on the RED button (Start Recording) and talk into your Mic. The cursor will advance and the peaks will appear according to the loudness of your voice.
In order to enable the mic, make sure that the Mic Switch is in the ON position.
Procedure for WINDOWS XP:
1) In the soundcard's control software, enable the Mic for playback. In the Microphone > Advanced settings, enable the Microphone Boost.
2) Adjust the volume for the microphone to about half-way up.
3) Adjust the overall playback volume to about half-way up.
4) Put on the headset. Make sure the Mic Switch on the headset amp box is set to ON (not MUTE). The LED should be green.
5) Now speak into the microphone. If you hear your voice in the headset, the mic works and your headset should be OK. If you still cannot get the headset mic to work over Xbox LIVE, then you need to take a closer look at Dashboard settings and other connections, or check the integrity of your Xbox 360 controller cable.
6) Create a test recording. Go to: Start > All Programs > Accessories > Sound Recorder. Click on the RED button (Start Recording) and talk into your Mic. The cursor will advance and the peaks will appear according to the loudness of your voice.
To find out if the Talkback Cable has failed, you may also try the "stock" headset that came with the Xbox 360. If the original Xbox 360 communicator headset is working, you know you have a Talkback Cable that has failed.
Since these cables must be lightweight so that they do not "weigh you down" while playing, caution should be exercised not to pull them or get them caught under furniture, etc.
Would you please tell us how we can improve it?
If you would like to add a comment, please do so

Ok so the problem is your Mic isn't working correct? So one thing you can do is your Mic might be on mute mode or you have to turn your volume of your mic up. If that doesn't work then check the plugs to make sure they are fully plugged in. Then if those suggestions doesn't work go to the place you bought your headset from and try to get a new one. Or call Turtle Beach Support and talk to the support team and they will guide you from there.

Limited Time Offer for Walther PPK/S CO2 Pistol
Limited Time offer.
Icludes: Walther PPK/S CO2 Pistol , 7 CO2 Cartridges, 600 Steel BB's.
Walther PPK, James Bond sidearm, has a lot of fans. And Umarex Walther PPK/S CO2 BB Pistol replica is made for them.
This Semiautomatic pistol has a Single-action mechanism and a magazine for 15 BBs.
The main feature of this gun is its authenticity: solid cast metal with elegant blued finish. This replica is both true to size and true to weight (may be an ounce lighter than a real pistol). Besides this air gun has a very realistic blowback action and recoil.
Per one CO2 cartridge you will be able to make approximately 60 shots (an average figure but considering that CO2 is used for blow-back action, it's rather good).
This gun has a short non rifled barrel that does not allow it to have extraordinary accuracy or velocity (it is about 300 FPS). But it is great for fun, plinking and practicing how to handle firearms.

China's central bank raised key interest rates recently in an effort to slow down the hottest economy the country has seen in years. As a result, investors scrambled to find a safe haven for their money, which they found in the U.S. dollar, and prices on commodities of all types tumbled.
The moves also set off fears that it could be the first in a series of rate increases as Beijing tries to tame inflation and curtail economic growth. Concern about what that would do to world commodity prices has been escalating ever since.
Fading impacts from an earlier economic stimulus package appear to have already helped moderate growth in the world's most populous country (1.32 billion people). However, concerns about future interest rate hikes persist.
According to a recently released World Bank report, China's gross domestic product (GDP) slowed from a 10.6% gain for the first half of 2010 to a still strong 9.6% increase for third-quarter 2010, compared with corresponding periods a year earlier.
The report's lead author and World Bank senior economist Louis Kuijs expects China's 2010 GDP to grow 10% but sees 2011 growth moderating to 8.7%, with possible easing in subsequent years.
The World Bank also recently decreased its 2010 projection for China's consumer price index (CPI), a measure of inflation, to 3% from 3.7%. However, the World Bank raised its forecast for 2011 inflation to 3.3% from its earlier 2.8%.
Kuijs argues that a 3% to 5% rate of inflation in China is not all that worrisome. Other economists say they aren't so certain.
"China would like to have inflation closer to 3%," says Bill Lapp, former chief economist for ConAgra Foods and current president of Advanced Economic Solutions LLC in Omaha, Neb.
China's October CPI figures (the latest available) rose 4.4% above year-earlier levels, but food prices rose 10.1%.
Currency Connection. One of the biggest issues causing mayhem in commodity markets today is the immediate link between the Chinese yuan and the U.S. dollar, which virtually move in lockstep.
Thus, Lapp compares the relationship between China's monetary policy and U.S. economic policy to tandem bicycle riders, with one pedaling furiously to get ahead and the other slamming on the brakes.

I started out in the TAPR forum, but only spent a couple of minutes there. I quickly switched over to the ARRL Public Relations forum. There I got to meet Diana Eng (see previous post). I also:
En route to the Teacher's Forum, I passed by the Antenna Forum, which looked to be very popular. There were guys standing out in the hallway trying to hear the presentation.
The Teacher's Forum has been moderated by Carole Perry, WB2MGP, for as long as I can remember. She always has good speakers. This year, the lineup included Gordon West and Bob Heil.
One idea that I picked up is to use a flashing light or LED to demonstrate the idea of duty cycle. By hooking it up to a variable duty cycle oscillator, you could vary the amount of on time versus the amount of off time, and this would make a very good visual demonstration.
This year's presenters mostly talked about teaching kids. This fall, I plan to teach a class for seniors. If it goes well, I'm thinking that I could talk about that class at next year's teacher forum.
In the afternoon, I attended the Software-Defined Radio Forum. This forum was also packed. We first heard about the new FlexRadio 1500, which is a $650 SDR. Its output is only 5W, but this looks like a real bargain.
Next up was Lyle, KK7P, from Elecraft. He gave us the Elecraft perspective on what an SDR is and what it's not. It was interesting, but not very technical.
After Lyle, the TAPR VP (whose name and call I forget) talked about developments with the SDR projects at TAPR. My initial impression is that while all of these developments are well-done, it's still much less expensive to simply buy a Flex 1500. I haven't checked the specs, though, to see if they are comparable.
Finally, there was a talk on MacHPSDR, a native Mac implementation of a receiver for OpenHPSDR hardware. I wish that I'd been able to stay, as I am a Mac person, but I had to leave. Despite the availability of this software, you really do need to have a PC to run a software-defined radio. I don't expect this to change in the near future.
Well, that was certainly enough for one day. On Saturday, there were some equally interesting forums, including forums on RTTY, SSTV, antenna-modeling software, and the AMSAT forum. Despite this, I decided to not attend a single one and walk the fleamarket and visit vendor booths. More about that in the next post.

A Fond du Lac High School (Wisconsin) track coach and part time math teacher is apparently in full time trouble with the law. Eugene Henry Dennis, 35, is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with an underage girl from December of last year, all the way to April of 2010. Along the way, prosecutors say, they became pretty close, referring to each other publicly as "boyfriend and girlfriend." Which would all be kind of cute except Dennis is a married man and his relationship with the girl allegedly included romps in his car and at his home. And one of those encounters at his home, police say, Dennis' wife showed up and the girl had to hide.
Don't you just hate that when that happens?
Here's more from WBAY:
Appearing in court Thursday afternoon, former math teacher and track coach Eugene Henry Dennis, 35, now faces four counts of child enticement and three counts of sexual assault of a student by school staff. According to the criminal complaint, Dennis and the student — whose age is being withheld by the State — referred to themselves as "boyfriend and girlfriend."
The complaint alleges Dennis had sexual contact with the student multiple times in his car and at his house between December 2009 and April this year. In the criminal complaint, the student says there was an incident in March where the student and Dennis were here at Dennis's home having sexual contact with each other. That's when Dennis's wife came into the house and the student said she ran and hid in a room.

Only 460 new cases of Wilms' tumor are diagnosed each year in the United States. Now, one is attacking an 8-year-old Manchester boy.
But a special group of moms from all over the United States have come together to help Jacob Fleshier and his family.
"It filled the left lung, and now the right lung too is full of fluids too, so the hospice had at one point early in this month said it could be any moment," said Mary Ken yon, Jacob's grandmother.
Jacob was diagnosed with a Wilms' tumor, a rare kidney cancer that primarily occurs in children.
"Many children can be cured of it, but unfortunately it can be very aggressive and often because there aren't any other signs other than the mass, by the time you find it it may already be out," said Dr. Cassandra Foe ns with the Covenant Cancer Treatment Center.
Two years ago, Jacob's mom found a lump on his stomach. Next came several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
"He went through a stem cell transplant, so they've brought out all the big guns," said Ken yon.
But Ken yon said the tumor kept coming back.
Throughout this time, Jacob's mom was on a clothing swap website and made a core group of friends.
They have since found each other on Facebook and kept in touch.
"We would swap some things around, but really we made a connection," said Beth Launches, Elizabeth Fleshier's friend. "We talked about family, friends, things going on in our lives, and since that date we have been there to support each other through everything."
Supporting Fleshier is what the group of moms are doing now, starting an online benefit in Jacob's name. On that site, users can bid on items and help raise money for a little boy who has touched so many lives at the age of eight.
"To live, that's the lesson we've learned from him is to live each day that we have," said Ken yon.
If you would like to bid on any items: http://www.biddingowl.com/Auction/home.cfm?auctionID=309
