Candidiasis, sometimes called moniliasis or a yeast infection, is an infection caused by yeast on the skin and/or mucous membranes. Although yeast is normally a harmless inhabitant of the digestive system, diaper region, and vaginal area, it may cause an infection when the skin is damaged or when conditions are warm and humid, or when a child has a depressed immune system. In some very sick children, it can infect deeper tissues or get in the bloodstream and cause serious illness. Antibiotics and corticosteroids can also cause yeast to grow because the normal bacteria in tissues are killed, letting the yeast grow unhampered.
The symptoms of candidiasis vary depending on the location of the infection. The following are the most common symptoms of a yeast infection. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Skin folds or navel
Patches that ooze clear fluid
Itching or burning
White or yellow discharge from the vagina
Redness in the external area of the vagina
Redness on the penis
Scaling on the penis
Painful rash on the penis
Mouth (thrush)
White patches on the tongue, top of the mouth, and inside of the cheeks
Corners of the mouth (perlèche)
Cracks and/or tiny cuts at the corners of the mouth
Nail beds (paronychia)
White or yellow nail that separates from the nail bed
The symptoms of candidiasis may resemble other skin conditions. Always consult your child's doctor for a diagnosis.
In addition to a medical history and physical examination of your child, your child's doctor may scrape off a skin sample to confirm the diagnosis with a microscope or a culture.
Candidiasis is highly treatable with medicated ointments. Yeast infections in the vagina or anus can be treated with medicated suppositories. Thrush may be treated with a medicated mouthwash or lozenges that dissolve in the mouth. Severe infection or infections in an immunocompromised child may be treated with oral anti-yeast medications.

High blood pressure during pregnancy can cause a slew of problems for mom and for baby, including low birth weight and early delivery. According to new research, it can also have long-term effects on children's thinking skills -- effects that can persist into old age.
In a new study published online in the journal Neurology on Wednesday, researchers looked at the blood pressure levels of the mothers of nearly 400 men who were born between 1934 and 1944 in Finland. Their language, math and visual spatial reasoning skills were all tested at age 20 and then again at age 69.
The men whose mothers had high blood pressure during pregnancy -- defined as a systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or higher, or a diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or higher -- scored more than 4 points lower on the thinking tests at age 69 than the men whose mothers did not have any blood pressure problems during pregnancy. They also had the biggest decline in overall cognitive ability after the age of 20.
"This study adds to the existing literature by showing that the effects persist into old age," said Katri Raikkonen of the Institute of Behavioral Sciences at the University of Helsinki, one of the study's authors.
According to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, high blood pressure problems occur in up to 8 percent of all pregnancies in the U.S., approximately 70 percent of which are first-time pregnancies. Women who have high blood pressure before becoming pregnant have a higher chance of developing preeclampsia -- a condition in which pregnant women develop high blood pressure and protein in their urine after the 20th week of pregnancy.
One of the main risks posed by high blood pressure during pregnancy is a decrease in the flow of blood to the placenta.
"The oxygen and nutrition being delivered to the fetus over the course of the pregnancy may not be quote, 'as good as' with an uncomplicated pregnancy. Therefore, the development of the fetus may be in some way impaired," said Dr. Peter Bernstein, maternal fetal medicine specialist and director of perinatal safety and quality at Montefiore Medical Center in New York. (Bernstein was not associated with the new study.)
But Bernstein stressed that, in this study, the differences in cognition between men born to mothers who had high blood pressure and those born to mothers whose blood pressure was normal were minimal.
"We're not talking about the difference between normal cognitive abilities and being mentally disabled," he said. Bernstein also cautioned that the data used to determine the mothers' blood pressure was collected in the 1930s and 40s, and that medicine and surveying techniques have improved greatly since then. The researchers did adjust for many factors that may have affected outcomes, such as length of gestation and a mom's age and body mass index at delivery. But they did not adjust for maternal stress or smoking.
Nonetheless, the new study serves as yet another reminder of the importance of monitoring and treating blood pressure issues during pregnancy and before.
"If you're hypertensive, getting good care and choosing when to get pregnant is important," Bernstein said. "Optimizing your health before you conceive the pregnancy is a very important step to reducing complications."
Raikkonen also stressed that babies' brains continue to develop after birth, so providing good postnatal care -- like simply being a "sensitive parent" -- can help mitigate any negative effects.

It's quite easy to remember," Smith said on Thursday."To have Australia 21 for 9 is something that's quite hard to fathom today."Our goal is to get into the (Australian) batting order and create a lot of pressure. If we can do that first up, hopefully we can create a bit of doubt."Steyn and Philander, the top two bowlers in Test cricket, are key to South Africa's hopes of repeating their first-ever series win in Australia in 2009 and remaining the top Test nation."The thing is, you can bowl the speed of light, but how effective can you be. That's the key," Smith said of Steyn."Dale has proven that he can be both. Hopefully he'll show that in this Test match."Our goal is to have our fast bowlers to expose their top order quickly. That inexperience is hopefully something we can exploit."Smith made light of reports in News Limited newspapers revealing a top-secret Australian dossier on every South African player and detailing plans for each player."I guess it's not that secret any more. Nothing really new," Smith said dismissively."All of us have played enough against Australia, we know what it's going to take to be victorious here."We try to keep it in the guys' heads as much as possible so dossiers aren't left lying around. To us it doesn't make a difference."The Proteas will be defending the top Test ranking they claimed in England this year and Smith said beating Australia Down Under again was the next stepping stone."We'd love the opportunity to create a legacy. You've got to take steps at a time," he said."In international cricket today, there's a number of teams who have touched the number one ranking."This is the next stepping stone for us, and it's a big challenge. We're not getting too far ahead of ourselves. We believe we have the capabilities to create that, but you've got to go and earn it."Smith said South Africa had developed an inner strength and adaptability to handle pressure."You don't travel from 2006 and be unbeaten away from home (in series) if you don't have the capability to adapt, to think on your feet and if you don't have the skills," he said."Our goal is to match up again like we did here in 2008-09. I don't expect to see us too emotional about things."Smith, who earned great respect on the last tour to Australia with his leadership and batting in pain with a broken hand in the final Test, said his team were motivated to succeed again."Certainly that stuff that happens in the papers, and maybe things (former coach and now Australia coach) Mickey Arthur has said, have only added motivation to us," he said."It's something that has touched the motivation springs for us even more."

Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley Dresses as Prince to Sing 'Purple Rain' With Darius Rucker
After a few months of playing to jam-packed audiences on their We Own the Night Tour, Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley was ready to cut loose and enjoy the band's last U.S. tour stop in Milwaukee on Saturday night (June 30). To close out his portion of the show, opener Darius Rucker launched into a performance of Prince's 'Puple Rain,' but he was almost derailed when vocalist Charles Kelley walked on stage dressed as Prince.
As Rucker was singing the song's chorus, Kelly entered from stage right wearing a purple velvet jacket, tight jeans and a huge, black, curly wig. Even after spotting Kelley in his '80s getup, Rucker managed to get through another verse before doubling over with laughter.
Ready to go, Kelley picked up where Rucker left off, using his robust voice to imitate Prince's wailing vocals for a few bars of the song as the crowd screamed and hollered in approval. To end the tune, a more composed Rucker took to the mic again, and the two country music stars finished out the duet in style while the rest of the Antebellum trio -- Dave Haywood and Hillary Scott (and her dog Hobbs) -- watched from the back of the stage.
Lady A's U.S. leg of the We Own the Night Tour has closed, but the award-winning trio will pick up across the pond next week with new opener Kacey Musgraves in tow. The 'Wanted You More' hitmakers will play shows in several European countries and Australia before returning to the states in October.

Why Focus Our "Welcome" on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People?
The Welcoming Congregation Program was launched in 1990 to address widespread homophobia and exclusion of lesbian, gay, and bisexual people within Unitarian Universalism, despite the fact that over the previous two decades many resolutions and statements in support of sexual minorities had been passed by the denomination.
Rev. Douglas Morgan Strong wrote, "For centuries, the Church has been a leading force against sexual minorities. It encourages prejudice against anyone whose sexual truth falls beyond the conventional. It is not surprising that gay people are reluctant to reach out to the very institution that oppresses them." He went on to point out that "as a subculture in society, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people may need our support more than does the general population."
The moniker "Welcoming" has become known as referring specifically to religious spaces that are accepting of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender (LGBT) because religion has been such a fraught environment for sexual and gender minorities. It's a code word of sorts (check out the Institute for Welcoming Resources for more on how "Welcome" plays out across denominations). The Welcoming Congregation Program has helped Unitarian Universalists understand the ways that our practices, language, and faith culture can make LGBT people feel excluded, and how to take active steps toward welcome and inclusion instead.
However, LGBT people are not the only ones who struggle to feel welcome and included in our congregations, and thus being a truly and fully welcoming congregation means taking action to counter more than just heterosexism. The Welcoming Congregation Program is only one possible entry point. By taking the fist step—any first step—we can explore how one oppression is linked to others. In fact, in order to be truly welcoming to LGBT people, we have to think big! Like all people, LGBT people have multifaceted identities. They are people of color, they are working class, they have disabilities, they are immigrants, they are children and youth and single parents and elders. Is your congregation an intentionally welcoming congregation to all of these LGBT people?
Reflect on which LGBT people might feel most welcome in your congregation, and which might not feel welcome. Think about how you can extend your welcome, little by little, step by step. Check out more entry points from Multicultural Growth & Witness and/or consider engaging with Building the World We Dream About, a "Welcoming Congregation style" program on race and ethnicity.
Our faith calls us to live a spirit of radical hospitality—only when we are truly open to the wealth of diversity in our world will the inherent worth and dignity of every person be affirmed with a large voice. Let's not rest until all are welcomed into Beloved Community.

Phoenix Am 2009 went down this weekend in the heat of the desert. Many amateurs came to destroy the park for their chance at the prize money. It is always a tough competition in the Am world with full grown men and little kids competing, that is why Iam glad I am not a judge. The skaters in the contest are top notch skaters in the world. If I would have been judging I would have given Luan De Oliveira the 1st spot due to all the insane trickery he had going all weekend, But I was not a judge and Cody Davis didn't fall in any of his runs so he deserved the win. Congrats to everyone who skated and had fun this weekend.

The Hill Rehabs Palin's "Death Panels"
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
There are no death panels. There never was a death panel. There never will be a death panel. The Affordable Care Act does not provide for state-assisted euthanasia, so there's absolutely no reason for a newspaper to casually refer to any part of it as a "death panel."
And yet, here's The Hill's "Healthwatch" blog doing just that in an article on the ACA's Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), which is designed to reduce the growth rate of spending in Medicare, under the headline, "ObamaCare 'death panel' faces growing opposition from Dems":
ObamaCare's cost-cutting board -- memorably called a "death panel" by Sarah Palin -- is facing growing opposition from Democrats who say it will harm people on Medicare.
Public awareness of the board shot up last year when Palin called it a "death panel," connecting the IPAB to her previous attacks on a proposal to encourage end-of-life planning in the Affordable Care Act.
"Though I was called a liar for calling it like it is, many of these accusers finally saw that ObamaCare did in fact create a panel of faceless bureaucrats who have the power to make life and death decisions about healthcare funding," Palin wrote on Facebook.
This claim experienced a revival on the right after Dean published his op-ed, which argued that the board would ultimately ration care for Medicare patients.
"The IPAB will be able to stop certain treatments its members do not favor by simply setting rates to levels where no doctor or hospital will perform them," Dean wrote in the Wall Street Journal.
"Getting rid of the IPAB is something Democrats and Republicans ought to agree on."
The piece quickly went viral, prompting conservative bloggers and Fox News hosts to cheer: "Dean confirms that Sarah Palin was right!"
Sarah Palin was not right. Sarah Palin was never right. And The Hill certainly shouldn't be giving the impression that Palin's "death panel" nonsense has somehow been vindicated.
Palin's first deployment of "death panel" in August 2009 was in reference to the Advanced Care Planning provision of the House health care bill, and she said it would "decide" whether senior citizens and the disabled were "worthy of health care." This was a lie, and Palin got called out on it, earning herself Politifact's "Lie of the Year" award.
In December of 2009, Palin switched it up and tried claiming that IPAB (which originated in the Senate's health care bill) was what she was talking about all along and that "this type of rationing" was "precisely what I meant when I used that metaphor." This was also a lie; the law does not allow for the IPAB to make "any recommendation to ration health care... or otherwise restrict benefits or modify eligibility criteria."
Everything Sarah Palin has said about "death panels" and the health care law has been wrong. The whole "death panel" fiasco is a case study in how ignorant and inflammatory garbage can derail an important policy debate. And The Hill should know better than to treat it as anything but that.

President Obama outlined several major legislative initiatives that he claims will reduce gun-related violence, but representatives at Gun Owners of America say the proposals will assault Americans' right to keep and bear arms and do nothing to prevent senseless killings.
The Obama legislative agenda includes several controversial items, starting with universal background checks to make sure guns are not purchased by felons or "someone legally prohibited from buying" a firearm.
Mike Hammond has served in the offices of three U.S. senators and is now general counsel at Gun Owners of America. He said this provision should be opposed on two grounds. His first concern centers around the people Obama thinks should be prohibited from buying guns.
"In about 150,000 cases, we're talking about veterans who came back from Baghdad or Kabul, perhaps sought counseling for a traumatic experience and, as a result, the Veteran's Administration appointed a fiduciary to supervise their financial affairs and then sent their names to this secret list in West Virginia that prohibits people from owning guns," Hammond said. "These people didn't do anything wrong. They served their country honorably, and there's no reason they should lose their constitutional rights because they sought someone to counsel them."
While Hammond fears law-abiding Americans could easily be blocked from exercising their Second Amendment rights, he also claims involving the government in each firearm transaction sets the stage for more heavy-handed actions from Uncle Sam.
"It's increasingly clear to us that the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms are using these secret lists to begin to compile the beginnings of a national gun registry," Hammond said. "I personally drafted the Smith Amendment, which would prohibit them from using the Brady Check in order to create a national gun registry. But when senators have recently asked the FBI, 'How are you complying with the Smith Amendment and how long are you keeping the names?' they're told to go take a long walk off a short pier. There is a danger that the Obama administration wants to create this gun registry using this universal check. There is no way in heaven's name that we are going to consider anything like that."
Hammond said a national gun registry is a slippery slope to government confiscation of weapons once the government knows where they are. He uses recent events in New York state as an example, since Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed new gun-control legislation and then alluded to confiscating firearms that are now deemed illegal.
In pushing for the background check, Obama contended that 40 percent of gun sales have no background checks. Hammond said that statistic is pure fiction.
"They asked the FBI about that and basically the FBI said that the gun-control advocates, for lack of a better term, just pulled that statistic out of their ear," he said. "I mean they just made that statistic up."
The biggest congressional fight will likely center around Obama's call for a ban on assault weapons and his demand that magazines carry a limit of 10 bullets. The president said weapons used in a theater of war should not be brought into a movie theater.
"That is a lie. When I was in the military, I had a weapon that was designed for the theater of war. It was called an M-16 rifle," Hammond said. "It was a fully automatic rifle. Unless you get a special license from the FBI, you can't own one of those guns in America. That is an absolute lie."
"What the AR-15 is is a gun that is designed cosmetically to look like a full automatic but operates nothing like it," he said.
Hammond also rejects the proposed limit on bullets in a magazine, saying shooters like the ones in Connecticut and Colorado could just as easily have brought multiple guns and multiple magazines and achieved the same horrific response.
Looking at the big picture of the debate, Hammond believes that Obama reached too far in this agenda.
"Obama, in this case, has dramatically overshot. I think he has overshot in a way that is going to destroy his entire gun-control package," argued Hammond, who said Obama initially leaned toward restoring the ban on semi-automatic weapons that was in effect between 1994-2004. He said that ban didn't address some of the more recent cosmetic features on guns, like the one used in the Sandy Hook massacre, so the scope of this legislation got much bigger.
"So he began adding more guns and more guns and more guns," Hammond said. "The people who know what guns are out there tell us that the resulting legislation now will ban probably about 50 percent of the long guns currently in circulation and about 80 percent of the handguns in current circulation. Let me state that again. Barack Obama and his proposals would ban most guns currently in circulation."
Hammond also rejected the president's 23 executive actions, particularly the ones that encourage doctors to ask patients about guns and share that information with the government.

More detail about practice fee increase...Jul 21 2016
An announcement was made earlier this week that there will be an increase in practice fees by $5. Many tracks have independently chosen to make this change. Since the announcement other tracks not mentioned in the initial statement have also announced that they will voluntarily do the same. This wasn't a decision that was taken lightly but it is supported and overdue by the increased cost to do business. There has been several riders from outside our area stating that they pay even more to ride their local tracks who do not offer daily practice or track prep.
Milestone MX and Perris Raceway offer more discounts and savings opportunities than any other track. We also operate race events at a cost to our business just to give away tons of sponsorship prizes, five brand new motorcycles and a new truck in just the last year. In the past three years we have given away a Sprinter Van, two Toyota Tacoma trucks and over 8 new motorcycles. Our track record shows a large amount of support to the industry and our members.
Milestone MX and Perris Raceway also offer a unique program called the Unlimited MX Pass which offers yet another form of savings to riders who get out there and ride more than twice a month. This is also accepted at 212 Land. This pass system will go through a change as well which also reflects the increased cost to do business. All passes old and new will go to $80 a month as stated earlier on their recurring billing cycle after August 1st. The benefits of the pass are still significant especially for multi rider families. If you have any questions about your pass please email firstname.lastname@example.com and your message will be answered promptly.
So, in more detail the gate fees will break down as such gong forward:
PeeWee riders (50cc chassis designed bikes regardless of engine mods) - $25
Fire, Police and Military with active duty ID - $25
All general public practice fees - $30
Riders celebrating their birthday will get one week before or one week after to use one free ride day
All Unlimited Monthly Passes will go to $80 per month after Aug. 1st.
Supercross practice fees will be $65 when the track is in season.
Spectator fees will stay at $10
Milestone MX and Perris Raceway also offered a membership program which is a source of confusion for many members. As of today no riders will be asked to pay for a renewal of their membership. The forms will still be required as a insurance necessity, but there will no longer be a fee attached.
We understand that these changes are not popular, however we have made this difficult decision so that we can continue to offer multiple tracks for all ages and skill levels seven days a week in close proximity to a large demographic of enthusiasts. We will also continue our Mini only night at Perris on Tuesday and programs like the Unlimited MX Pass which offer savings to people who ride more than twice a month.
Thank you for supporting the tracks.

Authorities in New Mexico say body of man found in the Gila National Forest flood debris
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A hiker found the body of a man amid debris from flooding that brought widespread damage to the state this month, authorities said Sunday as areas of the storm-weary region faced more thunderstorms.
Catron Country Sheriff's Office said the man was found Saturday in a sand bar off the San Francisco River near Alma in the Gila National Forest. It appears he died in the flood.
Under Sheriff Ian Fletcher said it was not known if the body was that of 83-year-old Howard Bassett, the Arizona man reported missing last week after he was evacuated from the Silver Creek Inn in Mogollon on Sept. 14 and did not return to collect his belongings.
The sand bar where the body was found had debris from the flood. The body has been sent to the Officer of Medical Investigators for identification.
State Police said aerial searchers found Bassett's truck Wednesday night, and it was wrapped in mud and flood debris in Silver Creek off State Road 159.
Bassett was staying at the Silver Creek Inn when heavy rains hit.
The National Weather Service said early Sunday northwestern and north central New Mexico could see "strong to severe" thunderstorms. By evening, a flood advisory was in effect for the Albuquerque, where thunderstorms also were reported.
The storm comes as a strong low pressure system quickly advances toward the Four Corners region, including parts of Arizona, Colorado and Utah.
Earlier this month, storms in New Mexico overflowed rivers, sparking massive flooding, forced evacuations and damaged roads.
Flood damage from storms earlier this month struck 25 of New Mexico's 33 counties, official said.
The Albuquerque Journal reported (http://bit.ly/15hCMpy ) no statewide figures were available at the end of last week, but some counties had preliminary tallies linked to flood damage and severe weather.
In San Miguel County, for example, the figure is between $6 million and $7 million. That doesn't include the city of Las Vegas, which had infrastructure and water treatment facilities damaged.
Meanwhile, in Eddy County, Emergency Manager Joel Arnwine said damage to road and other public facilities there are estimated at up to $1.8 million.
For Cibola County, the figure was about $1 million, and in Los Alamos, officials estimated $5 million in damage with millions more at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The U.S. Department of Transportation estimated $9 million to the state's roads and bridges.

ANAHEIM >> The Angels had a productive offseason and so did Angels manager Mike Scioscia, who shed 40 pounds.
Scioscia said he simply changed his diet to lose the weight.
"It's not easy," Scioscia said.
Scioscia said he has 20 more pounds to drop, but no matter how much weight he loses, he can't shake the mountain of pressure on his shoulders. And the wings of these Angels.
The Angels must make the playoffs this season, and that campaign began Monday on Opening Day against Seattle at Angel Stadium.
It started with a thud as the Angels squandered an early lead, thanks to a Mike Trout blast, and lost, 10-3. A home opener is supposed to leave everyone feeling all warm and fuzzy.
This was bleak and hazy.
By the time it ended, much of the stadium that serenaded Trout with "MVP!" chants was gone. Trout hit a two-run homer in his first at-bat of the season in the first inning, but the bullpen looked very much like last season.
The bullpen surrendered six runs, five of them by Kevin Jepsen.
Not again.
Asked before the game if he thought the Angels were a playoff team, Scioscia said: "Yes."
After the game, Scioscia was talking turn-the-page stuff again.
"It's the first game," Scioscia said. "These guys were throwing the ball well all spring … These guys are better than they showed (Monday)."
The Angels haven't been to the postseason since 2009. They lost to the Yankees in the ALCS 4½ years ago and were out of it by April last year after that 9-17 start in the first month.
Really, the Angels were out of it by the end of April in 2012 as well. The Angels started that season 8-15.
Scioscia engineered the 2002 World Series champion Angels, but that was so 12 years ago. From 2002-2009, the Angels made the playoffs six of eight years.
Scioscia doesn't admit there's any more heat this year, but it's getting hot in here at Angel Stadium.
"I don't think there's any more pressure or any less pressure,'' Scioscia said before the Angels gave up the 10-spot. "I think it's about going out there, getting the team ready and winning games, and we're better prepared right now as we start this season than we have been in probably the last four or five seasons. I think our bullpen is, has more veteran presence and is very talented."
Signing Trout to a six-year, $144.5 million contract last week was the most important piece. Trout picked up where he left off last year and smacked a two-run homer to the left-field bullpen off Felix Hernandez in his first at-bat of the season.
The "MVP!!'' chants happened before Trout even swung the bat. The ovation was more boisterous afterward.
The season didn't get off to a good start for Angels hitting coach Don Baylor, and it had nothing to do with the Angels' bats. Baylor caught the ceremonial first pitch from former Angel Vladimir Guerrero, who retired as an Angel before the game. Baylor reached to corral the pitch that went wide and went to the ground. It was an awkward fall, and when he tried to get up, his right leg buckled. Guerrero tried to help him up, and he had to be helped off the field by several people.
The Angels said he had a right leg injuy and was taken to UCI Medical Center for tests.
What an auspicious start to Opening Day.
The signing of free-agent reliever Joe Smith to a three-year, $15.75 deal was a key deal for the bullpen. Scioscia believes the upgrades to the bullpen, which was as shaky as a Southern California fault line in March, mean all the difference.
"The last few years have been pretty crappy,'' Scioscia admitted. "The bar wasn't set that high. What do you want me to say? I think a couple of years ago we won 89 games (in 2012) and actually won more games than some teams that made the playoffs.
"It's disappointing that you don't make it, but you really have to filter through some things and make some adjustments. Last year, some of our shortcomings were tangible and some things have been addressed. So I think we're all excited about what we've got right now and hopefully, we're going to carry it into the start of the season and get off on the right foot."
They got off on the right bat of Trout on Monday, and Scioscia is off on a lighter foot.
Most importantly, the Angels need to shed that playoff burden and garner some postseason swagger.
That definitely didn't happen on Monday.

Which Berlebach tripod ?
Posted 22 January 2010 - 05:44 PM
I found that the filters make a huge difference in the requirements for the tripod. So if you used a 4" refractor alone, the same tripod might not work for me.
Posted 22 January 2010 - 07:36 PM
I have experience with only Berlebach Planet. I use it with 4" f/8, 5" f/7, 6" f/8 refractors on DM-6 or G11.
4" refractor:
5" refractor:
Both are rock solid.
Posted 22 January 2010 - 10:00 PM
I think the Planet and an extension, if desired, is going to be better for what you are using.
Posted 22 January 2010 - 10:42 PM
Here is a 105 with heavy binoviewers on a HH II and UNI24 (extended) that approaches the kind of weight David mentioned. I never felt I was limited performance wise with this combo and tripod.
Posted 23 January 2010 - 08:53 AM
Not all 4" refractors provide the same rigidity challenge, of course, depends on the focal length and where the balance point is.
This was one of the reasons I finally talked myself into getting the TV-85. Brings everything in much closer to the hub and I only need to extend the legs to 25, about 8 inches less. The difference in rigidity felt at the focuser is really significant.
Posted 23 January 2010 - 12:47 PM
Posted 23 January 2010 - 02:27 PM
I use a GM-8 on it (with the very nice Berlebach adapter). That's a pretty substantial thing to control in itself I have found, since the saddle is rather far from the RA axis.
That makes good sense Mike - I believe it. Thanks for clarifying. You are also right to raise that it isn't just about weight. Weight wasn't the problem for me with the TOA 130 and DM-6. A long focal length and off to the side - quite a moment arm and the thing could act like a tuning fork at high mags, aside from the substantial weight alone. But that is one of the advantages of a mount like the Half Hitch that places the OTA over the center of the tripod.
Posted 23 January 2010 - 03:02 PM
It has some vibrate but there is no problem to me. I believe that 20 pound weights has no problem with your setup.
Posted 23 January 2010 - 04:50 PM
I've thought about trying to get those extra leg clamps, since one can watch the upper ends of the sliding legs vibrate when tapping the scope. It helps to kick each leg outward to put some additional lateral tension into the legs, this tends to force the upper ends inward and thereby restrain any vibration. I would expect the Planet to have a big advantage here since the sliding legs are so much wider.
Posted 24 January 2010 - 11:57 AM
Wow, that's some load and the leg spikes are still showing...

I am lucky to have both a UNI and Planet. IMO the Planet is an amazing piece of equipment. It's only about 20 pounds (not counting the tray) and all the parts and wood are much bigger than the UNI. If you don't mind schlepping the extra weight around I'd get the Planet. It will put an end to question and doubts about stability. I found it to be significantly more stable than an AP wood tripod which is the same weight.
I like the UNI too, it's very light and quick to set up when portability matters but if I was imaging I'd go with the big one. I think the price is actually very low compared to what you get for the same money in an AP or Tak wood tripod.

The Planet sounds about right. Any thoughts on the "Sky" which can hold a Lot more weight, weighs a little less but is a LOT more $?
Jim - I considered the Sky also. I think you'll be OK with the Planet - I purchased mine for almost the exact same gear - AP 160 and Mach1. It works great with just the single clamps. The Planet is already fairly light in weight; I didn't like the idea of even less weight under my scope (w/ the SKy), I was afraid it might make it prone to tipping over.
If you're on soft ground be sure to push each spike into the ground by stepping on it at the beginning, this makes it very stable. I use wood blocks under the legs when I'm on paved surfaces.
I purchased mine directly from Berlebach in Germany, I think it was before Teton carried them (I had to pay air shipping which was rough!), they also drilled the top for ADATRI for free.
I think you'll love the Planet, the overall quality and refinement is a level above anything else, it's the perfect match for the AP and TEC gear.
Posted 25 January 2010 - 01:33 PM
I'm happy with the AP/Baader with a Mach1 and AP140 (same ballpark as 160 weight/length wise) for visual or non-demanding imaging but I don't extend the legs much. Just curious how you established the "significant" difference.
I've regretted selling my UNI24 and I know that a Planet will be in my future as my imaging demands grow (unless I go with a pier) but for now I'm fine tripod-wise.
Posted 25 January 2010 - 02:01 PM
I'm considering a Berlebach tripod for my Takahashi 4" refractor loaded with 6 lbs of Ha filters on the end. Who owns a Berlebach for a 17 lb+ refractor and what do you recommend?
I found that the filters make a huge difference in the requirements for the tripod. So if you used a 4" refractor alone, the same tripod might not work for me.
using for about 4 years now a TEC140 on a Berlebach UNI19 (same as UNI18 but with center column, see pic) I don't think a Planet would be neccessary.
My scope plus accessories is more than 25lbs (11.5kg). It is highly recommended to using vibration suppression pads also. Damping time is below 1 second.
Posted 25 January 2010 - 06:03 PM
Scott (and anyone else), can you comment some more on the Planet vs. the AP/Baader, which you described earlier as significantly more stable? My only direct comparison has been between the UNI24 I owned and the AP/Baader. I found the AP to be more stable (not unexpectedly) but the difference narrowed when the UNI24 was not extended (I also had double leg clamps on the UNI24).
I'm happy with the AP/Baader with a Mach1 and AP140 (same ballpark as 160 weight/length wise) for visual or non-demanding imaging but I don't extend the legs much. Just curious how you established the "significant" difference.
I've regretted selling my UNI24 and I know that a Planet will be in my future as my imaging demands grow (unless I go with a pier) but for now I'm fine tripod-wise.
The AP wood tripod is heavier-duty than the UNI tripods. The Planet is in the same weight class also having bigger legs, hub, and clamps than the UNI.
What happened to me is that I had an AP 600 mount and wood tripod for many years with an 80's 6-inch f/8 AP refractor. When I upgraded to the new AP 160 the weight of the scope went up a bit, maybe 5 or 8 pounds more, and then around the same time I also replaced the 600 with a Mach1.
The AP wood tripod had been fine with the 600/6-inch f/8 combination, but with the 160 and Mach1 on there I immediately noticed more vibrations to the point where it was unacceptable. I tried a Planet with single leg clamps and noticed an upgrade in stability, particularly at high power and on windy nights.
I think a good pier would be better than either tripod. It sounds like the AP wood tripod is working OK in your configuration (the 140 is shorter and less moment-arm than the 160). if you want a little more stability you could get a Planet. The other nice things about it are a gigantic tray that snaps into place, instead of 3 screws. Plenty of room on the tray for the keypad and a few eyepieces. The leg clamps are much better than the ones on the AP tripod also, I found it difficult to turn the knobs on the AP clamps without using pliers.
honestly I can't say enough about the Planet tripod, it's one of my favorite equipment items ever.
Posted 25 January 2010 - 06:36 PM
Overall, as long as I feel the PLANET will do the job I am leaning very much toward it with its lower price and beautiful wooden appearance. I'll just have to deal with a little extra weight.
Thanks to everyone for this thread. I would not have thought of Berleback without it!
Posted 25 January 2010 - 07:36 PM
The Sky looks great and the weight specs are amazing. However, I would really like to hear a field report from somebody before seriously considering that route. I will be looking to add either a pier or a Planet in the next year or two. I'm inclined to go with the Berlebach.
Posted 26 January 2010 - 09:59 AM
I ordered the 1/4 HH for my TV 85. I get the impression that you feel the UNI24 is good for your current setup. A couple of questions:
- Does the tripod need the additional clamps?
- If you had to buy today would you buy the 24 or the Planet if your 4" refractor was your only scope?
- Do you use the pictured setup in a grab and go, fast set up situation?
I have a TV 85 that I'll put on the quarter hitch. It is probably about a 10 kg total load, it seems that the 24 would be adequate for that rig. Would you agree?
_ if you were going to a TV 101, do you think the Planet would then be necessary?
Sorry for all the ?s, just don't want to feel I haven't done all I could to get informed before I write the check.
Much thanks!
Posted 26 January 2010 - 10:40 AM
You've can see a few differing opinions here already but I would certainly say that a TV85 with quarter Hitch on a UNI24 will be rock solid - and arguably overkill. The UNI24 is still a substantial tripod and to some, not grab and go. To be honest, for true grab and go I use a very beefy (and ridiculously expensive) carbon fiber tripod even for the 105 plus HH. I guess you might want to be clear in your mind what your viewing style/preferences tend to be. While you can pick-up the UNI24 plus TV85 and walk out the door with it - it is still a big tripod with some weight so I wouldn't call such a move a piece of cake. Just depends on your tolerance level.
I haven't seen the Planet in person but I assume it is at least as beefy as my AP/Baader wood tripod, which I certainly would not call a grab and go rig. I personally don't think you'd benefit from a Planet for a 101 with HH - and it certainly wouldn't be portable. I've got to admit though, I'd be tempted to go with the Planet. And if you think a 5" might be in your future......
Seriously though, a super heavy tripod kind of defeats the purpose of a HH, which is a grab and go mount. I use to use a Discmounts DM-6 with an NP101 (and a TOA130 as mentioned earlier) on the UNI24. In that case, i think the UNI24 or Planet makes a lot of sense. A DM6/Planet combo with a 5" refractor would make for a nice alt/az rig if portability wasn't a primary concern.
For my own needs and given my equipment, I have come around to realizing that one tripod just won't do it all. As you grow your own stable of gear you will likely come to the same conclusion. So I have a very lightweight but high performance CF tripod for travel/vacations and around the house grab and go with my HH and 105 or TV76. And I have the AP/Baader for the 5" and GEM. If I take the imaging up a notch I'll need a pier - or alternatively perhaps a Planet. I let the UNI24 go because it was a great medium heavy-duty tripod that I no longer felt I needed after I replaced it with the 2 tripods just described. I regret it though.
If you like quality, performance, top design, craftsmanship and wood - I agree with others here who have already said the Berlebach can't be touched. I also think they are reasonable ($) given what else is out there.
Another minor consideration with the Berlebach though is the portability of the tripod tray. It may add some stability and it certainly is convenient (and quick to snap in) but it is large and cumbersome to carry around. It becomes an issue if you are traveling but then again, it is a minor issue. The Baader/AP tray is much more compact but anyone who has dropped the #$@& screws in the dark while assembling/disassembling the tripod will tell you it is a real pain. The Lapides spreader looks great but very hard to get. Berlebach use to show some kind of spreader on their site - not sure about how well that might work.
Having never tried the UNI24 without dual leg clamps I honestly can't tell you it would make that big of a difference. My gut feeling is that they can't hurt and if you are planning to extend the tripod legs a fair amount that they will in fact help with stability. They aren't that expensive as I recall so - why not?
Secretly, I'm looking for a reason to justify another tripod - specifically the Planet. But for now, my pocketbook and financial advisor (let alone my judgment) makes that unlikely.
You won't be disappointed with the UNI24. Personally, I would favor stability and performance over portability. But that is the decision you'll have to make. Good luck Jack - and post some pictures.
Posted 26 January 2010 - 11:22 AM
Is there a couple of good carbon fiber tripods you could point me to? I notice that there are a bit pricey, but I can see now that in two or three years There will be another scope. So I should consider something very light for the 85 and something like the planet for the bigger (more light) scope. By that time I might also consider some form of reflector as my second scope, who knows?
Posted 26 January 2010 - 11:35 AM
Berlebach Planet is a very good tripod but it is not as rigid as Losmandy HD/FHD tripod for 6"+ refractor IMHO. It is somewhat weaker in DEC (or Azimuth) moment. It is noticeable when I put 6" f/8 + heavy binoviewer setup (44 lb) on G11/Berlebach Planet, fast swing and stop, not noticeable when it is tracking though. That's why I didn't mention "Rock Solid" with 6" refractor at beginning of this thread. Having said that, I use Berlebach Planet a lot more often than HD/FHD tripod due to portability.
Maybe Berlebach Sky is a ticket for you. Another recommendation that I can make is Joe's Castoro's tall tripod for 6"+ refractor. I mostly use 6" binoscope on it.
I am happy with the tripod (and his Alt/Az mount).

Hate to break it to the lads but he is literally better than anyone we have outwide by a good way.
I'm more trusting of fellas when they have my cock in their mouth
Seems like every managers he's played for isn't convinced and considering that Roberto Martinez is the exception to that, doesn't help his case.
Even under Martinez he disappeared out of the team for a while didn't he?

It would be FOOLISH to omit information about Coffee Fool and their only product; coffee! These fools from Minneapolis gave themselves the name because they are just foolish about coffee. Given our slogan at the bottom of the screen (Powered by Strong Coffee and Late nights of Research) we thought we would see if Coffee Fool had the goods. After all, we can be a bit foolish ourselves and so it stands to reason we would be an authority on the subject.
Now some of you are asking right now in your heads… "Is it as good as Starbucks?" Well obviously that's a matter of taste preference. Starbucks beans in my opinion tend to be a bit burned, and they just don't taste fresh. I think we as a society have been trained to jump in the "baaah" line and buy stale burned beans from a retailer that designed a marketing strategy to cater to ego rather than taste.
Coffee Fools coffee is outstanding. I really liked the Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy blend they sent over. In fact, it is the only coffee I've ever been able to drink without adding cream or sugar to. Most coffee is very bitter, because it's overcooked. Obviously taste is subjective, I like lighter roasted coffees, while others in the office like the dark roasts.
I can tell you that I took a Starbucks light roast (Breakfast Blend) and tasted it against the Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy Blend and the difference was night and day. The Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy blend has all kinds of subtle tastes that linger on your tongue. It's a full bodied experience that I just didn't get with the Starbucks Breakfast blend. Even with the Breakfast blend from Starbucks there was a subtle burned aftertaste that made the coffee bitter. I could only choke down 2 – 3 sips of the bitter Starbucks (black). I was able to drink the entire cup of Coffee Fools Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy blend black and oddly I enjoyed it.
The difference was the Coffee Fool Coffee was fresh and the Coffee Beans where incredible. The quality was evident when I looked at the beans. There is a difference in price as well. A 12oz bag of Starbucks Breakfast Blend at the Grocery Store goes $10.59 on average. A 12oz bag of Coffee Fool Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy is $24.75. Don't get me wrong Coffee Fool has plenty of coffee that is in the $8.00 a 12oz bag range, but the Coffee Fool Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy is among their best offerings and as such is also one of the most expensive coffees they ship out.
We also tried Coffee Fool Flatpicker Fuel which is a terrific blend of Fool's House Italian and the Extra Fancy Hawaiian Kona. It's really got a nice energy lift and tastes great. Coffee Fool Flatpicker fuel weighs in at only $13.13 for a 12oz bag and is also a lot better than all of the Starbucks coffee that I compared it to. Last but not least we got to taste the STYX blend which I couldn't find on their website. I did find it through a link in Google and it is here if you are interested. This blend is a stronger, coffee with a great taste. My wife absolutely loved Styx, while as I said earlier I prefer the lighter beans. Coffee Fool Styx blend comes in at $13.95 per 12oz bag and is available via the link I provided.
All in all the Coffee Fool Coffee is a great brand providing excellent quality FRESHLY Roasted beans that are far superior to that offered in many other local sources. I strongly recommend trying them out. Their main website is at http://www.coffeefool.com

The Police Oral Board Secret Weapon
Sergeant George Godoy
It is a good idea to practice your oral board answers, but what tools can you use to do that – and what tools give you an edge?
A video camera is a great tool. You need to see how you look to other people. What better way is there to get a good look at yourself? How about standing in front of a mirror? Both of these tools help you check out how you appear to others, but both miss the most important aspect of your oral board answers – what you say and how you sound when you say it.
Only one tool can give you what you need when you practice: a hand-held tape recorder.
Think about it. The Oral Board, you talking, and the officers on the board listening. That spotless police badge you want to wear hinges on you picking up a tape recorder and hearing what is going to come out of your mouth in that unbelievably important situation.
I was contacted by a coaching candidate recently. He had made it to some oral boards and one Chief's Oral, but had not been successful. Now, an invitation to the LAPD oral board had been offered, so he wanted to set up a private coaching session.
After a few moments of talking with him, I was aware of something critical that was probably missing in his previous preparations. I asked him if he used a tape recorder to practice. He hemmed and hawed and finally, like 99% of the candidates I interview, said, "Well, no. But, I am thinking about it."
Become a Cop: Career Profiles
I told him to use a tape recorder to hear how he sounded. After trying this, he got the message – his answers were garbage.
Applicants want a badge so bad they will do nearly anything ethically and morally to get it, except to use the most effective preparation tool around.
For some reason, they do not get how valuable using a tape recorder is for practicing your answers. You can get your timing, inflection, and volume down pat, see where to cut material and how many uhs and duhs fill the pauses – and last, but not least, to see if you sound like Donald Duck.
To be successful at the police oral boards, you need to get married to your hand-held tape recorder. You need to hear what the oral board members are going to hear. That little tape recorder will narrow the distance between you and the badge you want so badly.
The first thing a candidate says when he hears his voice on a tape recorder is always, That's not me! Well, yessir, it is you. And if you want it to sound different, glue that hand held tape recorder to your palm and practice, practice, practice.
Guys prepare for the Police Oral Boards by thinking about their answers and then writing them down. For some reason, they think that because they wrote them down, their answers will magically come rolling out of their mouths in the oral board. But, trust me, they will not! Your brain and mouth just don't work that way.
If you want to prepare by writing something down, try this:
Write down your oral board questions on some 3×5 cards. You can use the Top 20 Asked Police Oral Board Questions found at PoliceExam911.com.
Practice your answers with the tape recorder.
Play back your recorded answers. If you hear something you don't like, write it down on the back of the 3×5 card with that question.

DO-178B and DO-178C
There are many questions related to DO-178B support from T-VEC as well as the implications from the proposed DO-178C. This page provides some information related to these topics, including the important topic of tool qualification, which is required to support a certification effort.
gUP0IF urtricnxassj, [url=http://ligxtiarnlic.com/]ligxtiarnlic[/url], [link=http://ivnyzglezpjb.com/]ivnyzglezpjb[/link], http://ypltmtjbrcjt.com/
Tool Qualification
Software tools used to automate aspects of software development or verification that will be applied for certification credit, without formal review, must be qualified. The tool qualification task can be nontrivial and may be seen as a hindrance when choosing to use some types of tools on programs governed by this constraint. However, a major survey conducted as part of the FAA's independently commissioned Streamlining Software Aspects of Certification (SSAC) program within the civil avionics development community included a section on tool qualification. The results of this survey indicated that 60% of the respondents considered the cost attributed to tool qualification to be small or negligible, 36% considered the cost to be substantial, and only 4% considered the cost to be prohibitive (Hayhurst et al. 1999). Fortunately for most users of T-VEC tools, the tool qualification cost should be minimal because the tool qualification packages have been developed for several tool components of the T-VEC tool set.
DO-178 and Tool Qualification History
The use of software tools to assist in developing application software has been common practice since the first assembler program was written to assist in the creation of machine code programs (Salmon 1993). While the correct functionality of a software tool has always been of a concern to the user of the tool, it is not typically a concern of the customer of the application. The responsibility for the functionality of the application is typically left to the application's developer; the customer is not typically interested in how the developer actually produced the application software.
However, in the context of applications that have an impact on health or safety, or other high assurance-related areas such as security, the concerns for correct functionality are much greater. In such domains, verification of correct functionality under possibly all operating conditions often is not only a concern of the customer but also of regulatory agencies such as the FAA and FDA. These concerns are formalized in officially published guidelines such as the FAA's DO-178B (U.S. DOT 1999). These guidelines form the basis for FAA approval of software-based avionics applications by establishing software development process completion and functionality verification criteria that must be met by the application developer in order to be approved by the FAA for commercial aviation use. These guidelines, DO-178B specifically, include sections on the use of software tools in the application development process and also introduce the concept of tool qualification. Consequently, to fully understand the meaning tool qualification and its impact on the use of T-VEC, a brief history of its derivation is useful.
History of DO-178B (Paraphrased From Johnson [1998])
In the avionics industry, software was initially viewed as an inexpensive and more flexible way to extend the functionality of mechanical and analog-electrical systems. However, it was quickly realized that the usual statistical approaches to assess the safety and reliability would not work for flight-critical software. An alternative means of assessment, one that addressed design errors rather than component failure rates, was required. From this need, the first version of DO-178 was created.
DO-178 was created to provide a basis for software certification by identifying and documenting software development "best practices," but it was written primarily at a conceptual level. To be compliant, applicants for certification were required to meet the "intent" of DO-178, but there were few details about how to actually do this. Rules of use were developed by trial and error over time. DO-178 was the first to introduce the concept that software verification requirements were dependent on the safety criticality of the software. It divided software applications into three categories: critical, essential, and nonessential.
DO-178 also established the relationship between the software certification process and the other relevant Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), such as the Type Certification Approval, the Technical Standard Order (TSO) Authorization, and the Supplemental Type Certification.
While the first version of DO-178 introduced the concept of software certification, the lessons learned from attempting to apply it quickly pointed out the need for revision. RTCA Special Committee 152 was formed to produce this revision, DO-178A, which was published in 1985. DO-178A turned out to be very different from DO-178.
DO-178A described, in systematic and structured detail, software development and verification processes, something that was deemed missing from DO-178. It maintained the safety categories of software applications, critical, essential, and nonessential, but also introduced the associated concept of software certification Levels 1, 2 and 3 corresponding to these criticality categories. This was done to allow for variance between application criticality and software certification level. The idea was that while an entire application would be assigned a criticality level, the level of certification effort for the software making up the application could be reduced according to the system design and implementation techniques. For example, if adequate partitioning of the design could be shown, some of the software of a critical application may only need a Level 2 or 3 certification effort, rather than Level 1, because of its lesser role in the overall functioning of the critical application. As with DO-178, attempting to apply DO-178A led to many new problems. Interpretation of certification requirements differed from one FAA region to another. Certification deliverables were frequently contended between applicants and the certification authorities and misinterpretation of DO-178A's intent sometimes led to entire software development life cycles being disallowed because they did not follow traditional waterfall-like processes. Lastly, there was an overall lack of understanding and appreciation for the purpose of the certification requirements by the industry in general.
During the time of DO-178A, the avionics industry was undergoing a major shift from analog to digital systems, and software was being applied in ever larger and more complex applications. Many new vendors of avionics applications came into existence and were now subject to software certification constraints for the first time. The lack of available DO-178A documentation, training material, development standards, and experienced people became apparent, and the industry again came to the conclusion that a new version of DO-178 was needed to address these issues and incorporate the new lessons learned from application of DO-178A.
To address these concerns, DO-178B was designed to satisfy the following three primary goals.
- Develop objectives for the life-cycle processes
- Provide a description of the activities and design considerations for achieving those objectives
- Provide a description of the evidence indicating the objectives have been satisfied
The intention was to provide enough information and detail as possible in order to lessen the burden and increasing demand on the few experienced software certification people that were available.
DO-178B made two more changes: nomenclature for describing safety criticality was changed from critical, essential, and nonessential to catastrophic, hazardous/severe-major, major, minor, and no effect; software Levels 1, 2, and 3 were changed to A through E.
One of the more significant aspects of DO-178B was the change made in software verification requirements. Much greater emphasis was placed on requirements-based testing than in earlier versions. This was done to reduce or eliminate the practice of focusing software testing primarily on structural (i.e., white box) coverage without fully testing the requirements, which would then lead to the need for additional tests. Requirements-based testing, with emphasis on the structure coverage of these functional tests, was seen as a more cost-effective and meaningful way to conduct verification testing.
The emphasis on requirements-based testing resulted in a new and significant focus area in DO-178B to ensure the traceability between requirements, code, and the tests that verify that the code satisfy the requirements. Traceability evidence is required to be thorough and bidirectional, demonstrating that requirements trace forward to code and tests and satisfy requirements, and trace backward from tests to code and to the requirements for which the tests were created. At the higher levels of safety and criticality, DO-178B requires that this traceability evidence show 100% structural code coverage.
DO-178B requires that verification and traceability evidence be made available for audit and analysis by the FAA or their DER to support an assessment of completeness and correctness. While this was also true for prior versions, the enhanced rigor and completeness of verification evidence required by DO-178B has proven to be a significant burden to the avionics industry. Some industry representatives have complained that the certification process requires an inordinate amount of time and expense, with some aspects of that process contributing little or no value. In particular, the FAA has received numerous complaints about software aspects of the certification process. (Hayhurst et al. 1998)
The human effort involved in producing the degree of systematically rigorous and complete verification and traceability evidence required by DO-178B can be overwhelming. In addition, as the complexity grows, the cost to produce the associated verification evidence grows exponentially with the size of the application. While tools that provide assistance with development, verification, and traceability have been utilized and undergone qualification throughout the time frame of DO-178 and its three versions, the tools designed specifically to meet the demands of DO-178B are being counted on for automated assistance far beyond those of their predecessors. Consequently, the reliance upon such tools without independent review of their results and artifacts also continues to grow. Thus, the subject of tool qualification takes on additional weight in the context of DO-178B.
Common Questions
SC-205 is the official designation in the US of the RTCA subcommittee dedicated to updating DO-178B - SOFTWARE CONSIDERATIONS IN AIRBORNE SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT CERTIFICATION. This is the primary document on which the FAA certification of all commercial software-based aerospace systems is based. DO-178B was released in 1992 and is mirrored in Europe by ED-12B, the same document but with a European designation. SC-205 is responsible for revising DO-178B/ED-12B to bring it up do date with respect to current software development and verification technologies. The new document will be called DO-178C/ED-12C and is due to be finalized during 2010.
The committee work is divided into 7 Subgroups:
- SG1: SCWG Document Integration
- SG2: Issues and Rationale
- SG3: Tool Qualification
- SG4: Model Based Design and Verification
- SG5: Object-Oriented Technology
- SG6: Formal Methods
- SG7: Safety Related Considerations
The Model Based Design and Verification subgroup (SG4), isthe largest of the working groups with about 45 members (Jan 2007). All work is collected and coordinated via a web-site that is a collaborative work management mechanism, hosted at Embry Riddle University and maintained by Dr. Matte Jaffe.
This site is open to the public, so anyone can view the working artifacts, but it does require registration and setting up an account in order to access it. There are currently about 700 users of this web-site, while only about 130-140 current participants in the committee itself.
The work is focused on bringing DO-178B/ED-12B, finalized in 1991, up to date with respect to current software development practices, tools, and technologies. (For a very brief explanation of the history of this document, including the justification for the current work, see http://www.aviationtoday.com/cgi/av/show_mag.cgi?pub=av&mon=0705&file=perspectives.htm).
There are many topics being discussed that directly affect SSCI members and their application of technologies such as TAF, as well as their more traditional software development practices. Among these are strong calls for clarification/refinement of the definitions and boundaries between the key DO-178B concepts of High Level Requirements, Low Level Requirements, and Derived Requirements and a better definition of the exit/entry criteria between systems requirements and system design (ARP4754 -http://www.answers.com/topic/arp4754) and that of software requirements and software design (which is the domain of DO-178B - http://www.answers.com/DO-178B). Other topics such as what does verification mean in a model-based development paradigm and can model simulation or formal methods replace some or all software testing activities.
Model Based Design and Verification
Each areas is centered around a number of the issue papers that were submitted for discussion and resolution by Subgroup 4. These issue papers were written to address concerns and make recommendations related to Model Based Development and its impact on the DO-178B guidelines and guidance material as related to the certification of software based airborne systems. They cover topics such as:
- What is source code in the context of automatic code generators?
- Can coverage of a model's logical paths during simulation of a model in the modeling environment be granted credit for MCDC structural coverage in the presence of a qualified (read "perfect") auto-code generator?
- What are high level vs. low level vs. derived requirements and should design models such as Simulink/MatrixX/SCADE be considered low level requirements
RTOS in Certification
Here's an example of a question that may be asked by some users have developed a RTOS that used in airborne system, and they want their RTOS to be certified under DO-178B.
DO-178B is much more than just a certification, it is a process that starts the same day as the development project itself. It is nearly impossible to take an existing application that was not developed in cooperation with the FAA or European equivalent and get it certified for any DO-178B levels, and definitely impossible for Level A applications. At the very beginning of a DO-178B development project, a document called Plans for Software Aspects of Certification is supposed to be created and supplied to the certification authority for approval. This plan describes the process and tools and procedures that the developer will utilitize during the development and verification of the avionics software application. This plan also describes the application and its use in terms of safety impact on the aircraft. The developer and the certification authority will decide what level of safety criticality the application should be developed to and certified to. This determined the objectives and deliverables that must be met and produced during the development and verification phases of the project.
To take an existing application like a customer's RTOS and get it certified under DO-178B, and entire development effort would be necessary - not to produce the actual code itself - but to go back and develop all of the additional material necessary to support the certification. For example, DO-178B Level A requires that verification testing include sufficient tests for 100% MCDC level object code coverage, and all of the tests are required to be traceable back to specific software requirements that the code was designed to satisfy. There are a lot of objects to be met and deliverables required to be produced and sent or made available to the certification authority.

Got a Hazel Nut Tree from Willis Orchard company. Im pretty sure that its an American Filbert Tree.
Looking back at the site it only cost $4.95, lol. Which is surprising really as I remember it having some of the longest roots ever, or maybe that was my imagination? It was planted in December 2010.
When I got back after 4 months I noted that the Hazel Nut Tree had not done much, but did appear to have some new sprouts from the base which looked kind of weedish, however, they were so close to the stem that it looked like they might be part of the tree. From the photos below taken in 2011 you can see what I mean. The main stem has not grown at all and is probably dead, but the root bulb has sent up several new sprouts. It looks healthy, I just hope it doesnt get too hot. Its such a small tree, its very easy to see that one getting strimmed up!!!.
The leaves are very hairy.
Seems to have died.
The tree struggles on, didnt help being buried beneath 4 months of grass growth. This little Hazel Tree would be in the bottom left of the overgrowth picture.

Pardew hits out at agents
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has hit out at the agents who distracted his players during the transfer window with talk of big-money moves after his side's 1-1 Barclays Premier League draw with Aston Villa at St James' Park on Sunday afternoon.
The likes of Cheick Tiote, Yohan Cabaye, Hatem Ben Arfa and Demba Ba were linked with summer moves away from Tyneside, none of which materialised as the club held firm. Pardew believes at least some of his side's lacklustre early season form can be attributed to what was going on behind the scenes before Friday's transfer deadline.
He said: "I have some sympathy for players because if people or agents - and not necessarily their own agent, a different agent - call them and offer them double their money, it's going to affect you."
In the event, it was one of those players, Ben Arfa, who rescued a point for Newcastle with a trademark stunning strike.
Villa had taken a deserved lead through Ciaran Clark's 22nd-minute header with the home side lacking any real cohesion. But the Frenchman took it upon himself to drag them back into the game with 59 minutes played when he cut in from the left and smashed a right-foot shot high past keeper Brad Guzan and into the top corner.
Pardew said: "Hatem is a wonderfully-gifted footballer. I didn't actually realise it was his right foot until I just watched the replay because I didn't expect him to hit it with that power. He has got exceptional power in amongst all his technique and as I say, he has been our best player from the start of the season."
Opposite number Paul Lambert left the North East delighted with the efforts of his players after they collected their first point of the season following a tough start.
He said: "I thought we were well worthy of it, to be perfectly honest. We came here, a really difficult place to play with the crowd right on Newcastle's side. The young lads were excellent throughout the game. It took a wonder-goal to pin us back and we also had really good chances to win the game. But I was delighted with the way they played, they were very, very good."
Lambert took the bold decision to drop 36-year-old keeper Shay Given and replace him with Guzan, although the American fully justified his inclusion with fine saves from Papiss Cisse before the break and Cabaye at the death.
The manager said: "Any decision you make to leave anybody out is really, really tough. Shay is a world-class goalkeeper and has been for the last 15 years, but I made a decision I thought was right for the football club and the two saves Brad made, one in the first half and the free-kick at the end, were world class."
