DoorBot lets you see and talk with who's at the door from the comfort of your smartphone (video)

If funding is successful, you'll be able to wave hello to Edison Junior's DoorBot -- an app-enabled, WiFi-connected video doorbell. Sure, it's not exactly the first time we've seen such an idea, but the "weather-resistant," aluminium enclosure makes it one of the best looking concepts we've seen. Better yet, the system is set to work in unison with the Lockitron (a smartphone-controlled keyless door lock that was recently crowd-funded, albeit still yet to ship) allowing you to let welcome visitors inside your abode at the tap of your iOS or Android Device's app screen.

The DoorBot installs with four screws, but it'll have you running through four AA batteries once a year for power (which, based on the video, seem easily removeable by strangers, unfortunately). There's no word on the quality of the camera onboard, however, it's infared-equipped, so you'll be able to see who's there at night. Lastly, the actual doorbell button is wrapped with an LED light, and, as you'd expect, it alerts you via the app when pressed to see and speak with whomever is at the door.

In total, Edison Junior hopes to raise a lofty $250,000 to make the DoorBot more than a concept video, with 45 days to reach the goal. If you're willing to take the gamble as backer, $169 is what'll cost to secure a pre-order, and $319 snags you one bundled with the Lockitron. We're told that we'll see a working prototype in the flesh at CES, but until then, you can catch the full sales pitch at the source link and video demo after the break.

How far over the 'fiscal cliff' could they go?

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The dealmakers who warn that a year-end plunge off the "fiscal cliff" would be disastrous don't seem to be rushing to stop it. Why aren't they panicking?

For one thing, the Dec. 31 deadline is more flexible than it sounds. Like all skilled procrastinators, from kids putting off homework to taxpayers who file late, Washington negotiators know they can finagle more time if they need it.

That doesn't mean delay would be cost-free. Stock markets might tank if 2013 dawns without a deal. But Americans could be temporarily spared many of the other ill effects if Congress and President Barack Obama blow past their deadline.

The Obama administration would have power to delay some of the tax increases and spending cuts that would officially take effect as January begins. Then, if an agreement is reached early in the year, it could be applied retroactively to wipe them out.

Some lawmakers even argue that briefly going over the cliff is the best way to force a compromise. The Obama administration on Wednesday indicated it would take the plunge if necessary to ensure that the wealthy end up paying higher tax rates.

Pushing the deadline too far is a risky strategy, however. The Congressional Budget Office predicts that the fiscal cliff policies, if left unchecked, would spark a recession later in 2013 and send the unemployment rate above 9 percent by fall.

How long could negotiators balk and bicker before putting the U.S. economy in jeopardy? The calendar becomes less and less forgiving as the weeks pass.

A procrastinator's guide to pushing the deadline:

___

DECEMBER

Democrats led by Obama and Republicans led by House Speaker John Boehner say it's critical to reach a deal this month. Yet both sides appear dug in over taxes. And their two plans are far apart on how much to cut spending while the economy is still recovering from the last recession.

So far, Boehner said, "we're nowhere."

If compromise were easy for this bunch, they wouldn't be in this jam. A good chunk of the fiscal cliff ? the automatic spending cuts known as the "sequester" ? is an artificial deadline created by Congress in hopes of forcing itself to come up with a deficit-cutting plan. It arrives at the same time as the expiration of the George W. Bush-era income tax cuts and other temporary tax breaks scheduled to end unless Congress extends them. Together the taxes and cuts would equal close to $700 billion in deficit reduction over 2013.

Congress could vote to override all this and essentially freeze taxes and spending where they are now while the economy heals. But Obama and lawmakers, especially Republicans bent on budget-cutting, see the fiscal cliff as the critical moment to overcome inertia on the nation's long-term debt crisis.

___

JANUARY

If there's no deal in December, the economy won't fall off a cliff on New Year's Day. But it probably will begin a bumpy downhill ride.

The new Congress that convenes Jan. 3 won't look much different from the one that's deadlocked now, divided between a Republican-controlled House and a Democratic-dominated Senate. The lawmakers would feel more heat, however.

Higher taxes for nearly everyone and across-the-board spending cuts would already be law.

"People will get more nervous day by day," said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. Still, he thinks the economy could weather a few more weeks of uncertainty as long as negotiators appeared to be working toward an agreement.

If the Bush-era tax cuts expired, that would raise income taxes for the average middle-class family by $2,200 over the course of 2013, the White House says. That's about $42 per week, probably not enough to curtail spending right away and deal an immediate blow to the economy, economists say.

Plus, taxpayers might never have to ante up. The Treasury Department sets withholding tables that determine how much tax comes out of Americans' paychecks. It could hold off raising the withholding if a deal seems to be in the works, said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow of the private Tax Policy Center.

Both Republicans and Democrats say they don't want middle-class taxpayers to pay higher tax rates. They disagree over whether to let tax rates rise on individual income above $200,000, as Obama wants.

Other far-reaching tax changes are more likely to go ahead in January. For example, although Obama proposes extending the temporary Social Security payroll tax reduction, support for that has been weak. So more money might start coming out of workers' pay, whether or not a fiscal cliff deal is reached. That's another $1,000 over the year, or a little more than $19 per week, from a worker making $50,000.

As for the sequester, the White House can direct the Pentagon and federal agencies to husband their resources for a while and hold off on some spending cuts while negotiations continue.

"The more there's an anticipation that there's actually an agreement in the works, the less of an impact any of this should have," said Chad Stone, chief economist for the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. He argues that it's OK to miss the fiscal cliff deadline if necessary to achieve a well-designed agreement.

___

FEBRUARY

What might finally get procrastinators moving if nothing else has? Fear of the United States defaulting on its debts for the first time ever.

Unless Congress acts, the government is expected to hit its legal borrowing limit of $16.39 trillion by the end of December. Treasury Department maneuvers should hold off a default for a couple more months, until late February or early March, private economists say.

Congress could raise the debt limit anytime now, if lawmakers agreed, before resolving the fiscal cliff. But it's being discussed as part of the bigger tax-and-spending package. The White House says raising the debt limit must be included in the deal; Boehner says the Republicans want any increase in the government's borrowing to be matched by spending cuts.

Remember the last debt limit showdown? The government came within a whisker of default in August 2011 before a compromise was reached. The financial markets reeled. Standard & Poor's downgraded the nation's credit rating.

Again coming to the edge of default ? an economic crisis that scares investors more than the fiscal cliff ? would probably send markets plummeting and finally shake up lawmakers, too.

"That's a pretty scary thing to watch," Zandi said. "For a policymaker that's real motivation."

Creating Early Intervention Strategies For STAAR

Public education in the United States is older, even, than the country itself. The first public school opened in the English colony of Boston, Massachusetts in 1635 and remains today as the oldest public school in the country (Boston Latin School, which boasts five pupils who were signers of the Declaration of Independence). However, mandatory free education provided by the government was not the norm until the late 1800s and early 1900s. By the 1980s, only 1 percent of students in the U.S. were enrolled in schools outside the government education system, and while that number has gone down in subsequent years, the vast majority of students are still part of the free public education system in America.

As the trend toward public education has grown over the years, states have constantly worked to create standardized testing that accurately evaluates students' knowledge and understanding of the curriculum. Texas has recently implemented a new system, the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR).

What is STAAR?

In April 2012, Texas switched to the new State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, replacing the old Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). The new system keeps TAKS tests in place in grades 3-8, then implements new end-of-course (EOC) tests for 12 different math, science, English, and history classes beginning in high school.

When the STAAR system was announced, creators acknowledged that the tests are harder than previously administered TAKS assessments, and are intended to push students toward a higher level of achievement. Since the program was rolled out, Texas educators have discovered that the harder tests have resulted in more students who require extra assistance to reach the required level of understanding a comprehension to pass the new EOC tests.

Intervention Strategies

For students who are struggling to keep up with their peers on the new standardized tests, parents, educators, and administrators are looking for effective Response to Intervention strategies (commonly abbreviated as RtI) that will address the specialized needs of those students, aiming to bring them to a higher level of achievement.

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) provides educators with student progress monitoring tools, which help identify students who require additional attention. The state RtI system includes three tiers of intervention--beginning with a core curriculum aimed at teaching students the required material to pass the tests.

Students who fall behind are identified for Tier 2, where they receive more individualized attention in groups of 5-10 for 20-30 minutes a day, from either the classroom teacher, a specialized teacher, an external interventionist, or a paraprofessional (as determine by the school). Students who do not respond to this level are moved to Tier 3, where they receive instruction in even smaller groups of up to three students for about an hour each day. Learning strategies are tailored to each individual student for maximum impact.

In addition to the RtI system, many private companies offer products for teachers, educators, and parents that can help identify struggling students and provide strategies that will help students to catch up to their peers on standardized assessments.

Educators hope that the RtI strategies will result in more effective learning and instruction within the classrooms, giving every student access to the best possible education based on their individual needs. Effective RtI strategies help identify students with learning disabilities, creating a better support system as early as possible, and resulting in a more effective system of collaboration among all educators while improving overall school achievement.

Educators hope that the response to intervention strategies will result in more effective learning and instruction within the classrooms, giving every student access to the best possible education based on their individual needs. The STAAR is a helpful tool in identifying where these strategies need to be focused.

Report: Morocco honorary consul in Syria killed

RABAT, Morocco (AP) ? The official Moroccan news agency says the north African country's honorary consul in Aleppo, Syria, has been killed by armed men as he left a hotel in the city.

The MAP agency, citing unspecified relatives of the honorary consul, reported Wednesday that Mohamed Alae Eddinne was killed the previous evening after armed men in a taxi attacked him among a group of his friends.

MAP says another person was also killed during the attack, without elaborating. The report said Eddinne, a Syrian national, was born in 1961 and had been the honorary consul of Morocco since 2001. Such posts are largely ceremonial.

Morocco is preparing to host next Wednesday a meeting of the Friends of Syria, an alliance of countries backing the rebels battling Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime.

The Lede Blog: Mars Rover Discovery Revealed

Last Updated, 4:55 p.m. SAN FRANCISCO ? In a sand drift on Mars, NASA?s Curiosity rover discovered ? sand.

At a meeting of the American Geophysical Union here, scientists working on the mission talked about the analysis of the first soil sample.

John P. Grotzinger, the project scientist, inadvertently set off expectations of a major discovery when he told National Public Radio a couple of weeks ago that the data was ?one for the history books.?

On Monday, Dr. Grotzinger said he was referring to the richness and quality of the data coming from Curiosity?s sophisticated instruments on the soil sample, not that it contained a major discovery. Dr. Grotzinger and other Curiosity scientists said their analysis did not provide definitive evidence for the building blocks of life as some had speculated.

?I think certainly what I?ve learned from this is that you have to be careful about what you say and even more careful about how you say it,? Dr. Grotzinger said. ?We?re doing science at the speed of science. We live in a world that?s sort of at the pace of Instagrams.?

By design, it was an unremarkable pinch of dirt, more to test the apparatus than to make discoveries.

Ken Edgett, principal investigator for a camera that takes close-up images, described the soil as fine sand. ?It?s very dry-looking stuff, just what you?d expect,? he said. ?The grain size is sort of like these artificial sweeteners in term of size, finer than sugar but coarser than something like flour. The surface of the drift was covered with coarser sand ? more like the size of salt grains on those big hot pretzels you can get.?

The mineralogical composition was similar to that found by the Spirit and Opportunity rovers during their years of exploration elsewhere on Mars, suggesting that this sample can serve as baseline for what covers much of the planet.

An instrument, Sample Analysis at Mars, or SAM for short, heated the dirt to nearly 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit (800 degrees Celsius) and looked at the gases that escaped as the dirt burned. The most common gases were water vapor and carbon dioxide.

The SAM instrument also detected chlorinated methane ? a small, simple compound that falls in the category of organics, which are the building blocks of life. However, the scientists said it was much too early to say that the soil itself contained organics. The carbon could be vestiges of molecules that the spacecraft took to Mars from Earth, and the organics could have been generated by chemical reactions as the dirt was heated.

Whether the carbon could point to anything biological on Mars, ?that?s well down the road for us to get to,? Dr. Grotzinger said.

With the complexities analyzing the voluminous data, ?There?s not going to be one single moment where we all stand up and on the basis of a single measurement have a hallelujah moment,? Dr. Grotzinger said.

The chlorine points to the presence of chlorine compounds known as perchlorates that had been discovered in Mars?s polar regions by the NASA?s Phoenix Mars lander in 2008.

More esoteric measurements like the levels of heavy hydrogen in the rocks could give clues to the vanishing of Mars?s atmosphere over billions of years.

The scientists have now successfully deployed and tested almost all of Curiosity?s instruments. The last piece to be deployed will be its drill.

?Sometime early next year we?re going to pack it up and start driving toward Mount Sharp, which is the reason we picked this site,? Dr. Grotzinger said. The base of the mountain contains layers of sedimentary rocks including clays that are more likely to contain organics. ?We?re ready for our trip, and that?s when our science mission of exploration really gets in gear.?
