They can because the US patent system is broken.

There are projects in the UK that are similar to DX but on a smaller scale (ie LA wide) that are using SIF. In Birmingham they use i to get up to date information regarding admissions number, this has a benefit for the LA admission team, the other is Warwickshire, they use it to push information about FSM eligibility directly into a school's MIS, the process is full automated, a parent can apply for FSM online (no stigma of having to get a form from the school or provide proof) this is then verified with DWP that a parent is eligible and if they are the information is pushed to the school, the benefit to the school is the pupil can have access to FSM within a day of application and the time they had to previously allocated to maintaining this information has been removed and can be allocated elsewhere. The majority of the benefit of the DX project will be at the DfE as they are the one footing to bill for it. One of their primary drivers are to increase the validity of the data, as the information used by different department (LRS etc) is anywhere between 6 to 18 months out of date, they are also wanted to move away from aggregated data to raw data, this is to reduce the number changes MIS providers are required to make when new questions are asked. From a schools perspective DX opens up indirect benefits, for example data will be able to follow a student. Currently if a student moves school mid year the new school might be sent a CTF, which may or may not contain all information, attendance and assessment are in the majority of cases are not included. The new school need to spend weeks assessing the student to ascertain what level they are at and which groups they should be in, If data followed the student, once they had been entered in the MIS it could be back filled via DX reducing the time teachers would need to assess them (as they would have a baseline to work with) and the admin time to enter all this information would be removed as well. On a side note, behaviour data is always a bad example to use as currently there isn't a national standard on how it should be recorded plus is very subjective and heavily influenced by the context of the school and local community.

I believe under the education act, subject data can still be withheld. For example if a child is on the at risk register and the parent (who is of concern) requests information about the student (such as where they are living) if releasing the information places the child at risk the information can be legally withheld.

@pcstru just to clarify your point "we don't withhold any data - we can't by law", actually you can, there are provisions under other laws which allow for information to be withheld, mainly if the release of information would put the child at risk.

Cornish Pasties don't come from Cornwall, they get made elsewhere driven over the border and driven back. (all legal) Apparently the Cornish fairies make the price jump by £2 at the border.

There are a few where I have started and got sucked in. 24, West Wing, Walking Dead, Greys Anatomy, Private Practise, The Newsroom, Failing Skies, The Wire, The Good Wife, Battlestar Galactica (new version) etc. The worst ones are the really good series that get cancelled like Flashforward and Zero Hour

I'm the same, just hope its doesn't go the same way as Startship Troopers/Startship Troopers 2 did.

That is bad but someone with probably remix into this year's summer anthem. How the heck did you find it and why?

From the replays it looks like mal's front wing went under guis car and started to lift it and when the wheels touched it cause him to flip. BBC Sport - Bahrain Grand Prix: Gutierrez flips car in terrifying crash

A Gui's and Maldonado type crash was something i thought was going to happen given how low the front noses, Would hate to see the out come of a rear end shunt.

I finally saw some of the highlights of an F1 race, 3 things stood out for me, racing seems to finally be back, I'm confused with all the livery changes, force India isn't orange and Williams is now white. The sound does make a difference but they should just stick a mike in the engines and it will be fixed for tv viewers.

It looks like the reporting module was unavailable for 24 hours rather than the whole of Progresso.

Why don't nasa look at the film industry for space suit designs, The ones from the red planet, Armageddon look a load better and more flexible.

Completely agree, amazing tech and so many different and innovative uses but all of which probably won't happen now.

Something about them reminders me of the robot from lost in space (the tv series not the film)

The best time to run it is at the start of each school holidays (unless is a major security update). announce the down time ahead of time and when it will be back up and users will be able to manage without.

This is what school projects are all about. kudos to him and the school. Lucky he didn't do it at home as a combination of SAS, MI5, MI6 would have smashed down his door and secretly renditioned him to some remote island to have a "chat".

You shouldn't need to contact council as the VOA website states that if you are using a single dedicate room for your office it wouldn't be rateable. As your rating hasn't changed (still a residential property) your utilities won't change.

To create a list of homework you could use the progress block but there isn't anything that i know of that would be mimic that list publicly, it would need to be a customisation.

It would be good to understand why your moving away from moodle? The reasons to move will help you evaluate the wordpress plugin. Are you a primary or secondary school? Wordpress plus a course management plugin doesn't make a VLE. The biggest issue you will face is if you have any scorm resource as I don't believe any wordpress currently supports them.

Only America could classify a man made disaster zone as a historic place. Most people would view is as a scare on the planet that should never be repeated.

The CEO doesn't physically run the company other people do that. He just need to make the correct strategy decisions. With the last guy it was sales lead product, now it looks like product leads sales.

Hi @jaminben Could you expand on "its not happening for me"? What is not happening. To invoke a NTLM login you need to go to my.moodledomain.com/login/ If you are using IE your moodle site needs to be in either trusted sites or local intranet so IE will forward on the login credentials. If you are using chrome or firefox you will need to turn NTLM on. (quick google will resolve that)

I highly recommend teamviewer, it's and upfront cost and a small renewal year for updates. It works out on a per technician / concurrent channel pricing model. So if you had 5 techs and one ever had 2 remoting in its pretty cheap compared to RemoteAssist over 12 months.

I would virtualise everything but keep 1dc on a physical box (only running the ad services) as if your are backing off your host servers to a San and everything dies, users will be able to still login and get to the internet.
