Homelessness and Students with Exceptionalities
A homeless child is any youth who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. He or she might be sharing the housing of others, living in cars, motels, campgrounds, homeless shelters, or bus stations or awaiting foster care placement. School is one of the few safe, stable places in their lives and provides hope to one day escape poverty.
How Do You Know a Student Is Homeless?
Because families often try to hide their homelessness, many homeless students never gain access to available benefits and services. Some signs that a child may be homeless include:
However, some of the above signs can be indicators for other situations, such as abuse, neglect, or abandonment.
Students coping with the stress of being homeless often exhibit two different types of behavior: withdrawal/depression (in extreme cases they may become suicidal); and acting out with aggressive or inappropriate behaviors (taken to the furthest degree, these children may act out in violence).
Laws About Special Education for Homeless Students
McKinney-Vento Act
The McKinney-Vento Act requires states and districts to provide homeless children the same free education as other students. Each state employs a state coordinator to ensure all districts comply. If schools fail to comply, districts and states can be sued. All districts are required to designate a homeless education liaison who must help students enroll immediately, whether or not they have their previous school records; set up transportation; access health and other services; inform guardians about available services; and more. In addition, schools must:
Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Title I
Homeless students are automatically eligible for Title I of ESEA services. School districts must set aside funds for this, and each district's Title I plan must describe services to be provided to homeless youth. District Title I coordinators must collaborate with district homeless liaisons. Districts can use Title I funds for hiring special teachers or tutors for homeless students, facilitating parent involvement, funding after-school or summer programs, etc.
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
The Child Find Rule of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) demands schools seek out, identify, and evaluate all youth with disabilities, whether or not they are homeless or enrolled in school. The school must communicate with parents if it appears their child may have a disability.
To-Dos for Teachers of Homeless Students with Exceptionalities
Arrange intake interviews when a new student enrolls. Meet the parents. Find out if the child has had special education before. Ask what the parents feel their child needs to succeed in school.
It is critical to provide a feeling of structure and security. Positive, pro-active discipline, clear rules, and strong classroom management skills help. Let the child know he or she is safe. And, convey a sense of acceptance: "We're glad you're here. You belong here." School counselors should let students know they can come to them any time they need to talk and that conversations will be kept confidential.
What Teachers Should Know about Homeless Students with Exceptionalities
Homelessness can exacerbate learning problems. Transitions are often hard for children with exceptionalities, and additional stress can exacerbate academic difficulties.
Special considerations and exceptions may need to be made for homeless students. Allow homework to be done in school. Be prepared to teach subjects such as hygiene and personal space skills.
Personal space and possessions are important for homeless children. In a homeless child's mind, his or her desk or locker becomes the child's "home." Violating that space is like breaking into his or her house. The child may become territorial, protective, or even hostile. Try to respect homeless children's boundaries. Let them put their name on their possessions and/or spaces.
IEP Considerations
Strategies for School Administrators of Homeless Students with Exceptionalities
Administrators should get educated about homelessness and network with schools that deal with homeless students regularly. Designate one staff person as liaison with local shelters to help expedite enrollment and IEP management. Provide teacher training on educating homeless students. Also:
Keep a portfolio of each homeless child's work that the child can take to a new school.

- 4 artichokes
- 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 lemon, halved, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
- In a large pot, bring 3 quarts of water and 1/4 cup of the salt to a boil.
- Place the artichokes on a cutting board. With a sharp chef's knife, trim the stem ends off until the bottom is flat. This way, the artichokes can sit upright. Cut the top third from each artichoke and discard.
- With kitchen scissors, cut the pointed tip from each of the remaining outer leaves. Discard.
- Rub the cut areas with the lemon halves.
- Squeeze any remaining juice from the lemon halves and add the juice to the boiling water along with the juiced lemon halves themselves.
- Using a slotted spoon or skimmer, carefully add the artichokes to the boiling water. Top with a heavy pot lid or heat-proof baking dish that will fit inside the pot, so that the weight will keep the artichokes submerged in the water. This is a bit tricky. Be sure to have an adult help with this.
- Lower the heat and cook at a slow boil until the artichokes are tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. With oven mitts or pot holders, carefully remove the lid or weighted dish from the top of the artichokes.
- With a slotted spoon or skimmer, and with a small bowl or dish held underneath to catch the hot water, carefully transfer the artichokes to a colander set in a sink. With tongs, turn each artichoke upside down and place in the colander. Let drain, inverted, until cool enough to handle.
- To make the lemon-butter sauce, melt the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and the remaining teaspoon of salt, and stir to combine.
- Remove the lemon-butter sauce from the heat and transfer to small dipping bowls to serve with the artichokes.
- Serve the artichokes either warm or cold. �

Careful with those iPhones (Examiner)
Metro says parking lot crime at record low (Examiner)
This past Friday morning, while passing the Naylor Road station, I noticed something was up.
Four, twenty-something ladies had another twenty-something lady encircled. It appeared they all knew each other, and their discussion was becoming more volatile.
As I passed the group, it became more physical with the women pulling each others' hair. Since Metro is always saying "see something, say something," I called the WMATA police on (202) 962-2121.
After 30 seconds of ringing, I hung up and checked the number.
I called again and waited for another minute before the operator finally took my call and sent an officer.
In the normal world, if you need help, you can call the police by dialing the universally easy to remember number--911. By calling 911 from your cell phone, the police can locate you using the enhanced 911 service.
In the WMATA world, you call a number that is difficult to remember. If WMATA bothers to answer the phone in time, they would not have access to your GPS coordinates because your phone does not know the number you dialed belongs to the police.

Tow row: Dude, where's my car?
Early last summer, when the transmission in Michael Shifflett's 1979 Chrysler LeBaron gave out, he had it towed to Quality Transmission at Pantops Shopping Center. He claims that he had already called Quinter Garrison, Quality's owner, to say that the car would be coming. Since he wasn't dependent on the LeBaron for transportation, he wasn't in any rush to get it fixed.
By mid-August, however, he was ready to get the car back. When he called Garrison to find out when the work could be done, Shifflett claims, Garrison said he'd "get it in that week." However, Garrison allegedly called a week later, by Shifflett's report, to say that the car was gone and that he had no knowledge of its whereabouts.
Shifflett says Garrison called back a day later to say he thought the car was at Charlottesville Wrecker. Garrison then called a third time to report that it was definitely at Charlottesville Wrecker, but he had no idea who had ordered it towed. Garrison allegedly suggested that it might have been Ponderosa, which manages the parking lot where Garrison is allowed to use several of the spaces for cars coming into his shop.
Shifflett went to Charlottesville Wrecker on East High Street, where he was allowed to get his car for what owner Barbara Cosner calls "a greatly reduced price" of $80. The towing fee and impound charges, according to Cosner, were up to at least $200, but she was willing to reduce the price so that he could get his car back. Shifflett asked to see the towing order, which, he claims, had Garrison's name on it.
Infuriated, he filed a complaint with the state's Consumer Fraud unit and contacted me.
I visited Garrison at his shop, which shares a building with Jiffy Lube and is the cleanest, most organized auto-repair shop I've ever seen. When I arrived, he was bleeding the brakes on a big, shiny pickup– while his friend and part-time employee Wayne Hensley sat in the truck's cab. They were happy to answer my questions and to toss in the occasional story to illustrate how frustrating their line of work can be.
For instance, Garrison told me about the time he finished working on a car and called the owner to say that it was ready and the bill was $2,200. The man became indignant and refused to pay. As time dragged on and the car sat, Garrison went through the steps required to get his money: He filed a mechanic's lien at the DMV, ran a legal notice in the Daily Progress, and got ready to sell the car at auction.
At that point, the man– who had in the meantime allegedly spent $7,000 or so on a new car– surfaced, paid the bill, and claimed his car.
As for Shifflett, Garrison confirmed that he had called, in mid-August, to say that he was having his car towed in. After the car arrived, Garrison says, he looked it over and called Shifflett to say that "the transmission would have to come out." He claims that Shifflett promised to "get back to him," but never did.
Garrison claimed, and Hensley also attests, that he had predicted that the LeBaron would be there "for months and months." Garrison called it "a $50 car that needed to have $1,000 worth of work."
But what about the suggestion that he's the one who ordered it towed? He denies that and theorizes that someone at Ponderosa, thinking it might be abandoned, had evicted the car.
I went to Charlottesville Wrecker and met with Cosner after talking with her by phone several days earlier. In the interim, she said, she had spoken to the driver who'd towed Shifflett's car, and he said that when he pulled up in the Ponderosa lot next to the Le Baron, Hensley came out and told him that "that was the car to be towed." If there had been a signed receipt, Cosner could no longer find it.
I went from there to Quality Transmission and spoke to Hensley again, who said he'd seen the car being towed and said hello to the driver, but hadn't said anything else. On my earlier visit, he hadn't mentioned being present when the car was towed.
So this one will have to be he said-he said. The only lesson I can see is this: Don't have your car towed somewhere and let it sit; get the repair order in and stay on top of the transaction till it's finished.
Do you have a consumer problem or question? Email the Fearless Consumer, write her at 100 Second Street NW, 22902, or call 295-8700 ext. 406.

Stanbury, Scarf & Lord 48V 40A Battery Charger
Stanbury, Scarf & Lord 48 Volt 40 Amp Battery Charger
These are industrial battery chargers suited larger stand alone power systems. Suitable for all standard flooded cells over 100 ampere hours (C5)
Stanbury Scarf and Lord New Generation Chargers are industrial grade in design for the larger domestic systems that utilize large battery banks. They are supplied as standard with the Geebung board fitted. The Electronic chargers (SNG) offer much lower generator draw, and are specifically designed for generator use.
Stanbury Scarf and Lord New Generation Chargers are industrial grade in design for the larger domestic systems that utilize large battery banks. They are supplied as standard with the Geebung board fitted. The Electronic chargers (SNG) offer much lower generator draw, and are specifically designed for generator use.
The LCD on the front panel continuously displays the battery charger output voltage and current. There is no timed shutdown. But the battery charger may be turned ON or OFF via the on/off switch on the front panel.
A preset (60 - 120 mins) timed voltage boost is achieved by pressing and holding the boost button for 5 seconds. To extend the boost time, wait for a minimum of 5 seconds and then press the boost button for another 5 seconds. This increases the boost time by 15 minutes. This process can be repeated four times to give a maximum boost time of Preset + 60mins. The charger reverts back to its normal constant power/constant voltage operation after the boost charge. Boost will only operate after 2 hours of constant voltage. Battery temperature compensation of the constant voltage may be included.
Using switch mode technology they are very quiet, very efficient & very light in comparison with older chargers.
They are built to a 3 -1 taper which means that rated output is obtained at a battery voltage of 2.1 volts per cell while charging and tapering to one third of rated output at 2.6 volts per cell. This means that the one charger can be used in either 8 hour or 12 hour charging situations as well as any intermediate charging time. There is no special model for 8 hour charging. The charging time required is simply a function of the battery size. It means that a particular charger will charge one size of battery in 8 hours and a battery 50% larger in 12 hours. From this it follows that intermediate battery sizes may be charged with a corresponding range of charging times.
The state of the charge is determined by what is known as the DV/DT method. This means that the charge is terminated when the battery voltage stops rising. The effect of this is that the battery will be correctly charged no matter what its condition.
Previously unavailable charging data is displayed on the charger during and at the end of every charge cycle. This makes problem solving much easier, be the problem in the charger, battery, or the operating environment.
A 2 hour equalise charge is automatic after the charger has been continuously connected to the battery for 26 hours. In 7 day a week applications manual equalising is necessary.
Construction is based on modular concept. Should a module fail an exchange module can be fitted in a few minutes. Exchange modules are readily available so that down time is greatly reduced. Three basic power module sizes are used in building up chargers. By selecting appropriate module combinations chargers of any size are possible.
* Light, about 25% the weight of conventional chargers.
* Efficient, well over 90% efficient compared to 55-67% for conventional designs. We have been saving our customers money since 1997
* Economical, draws up to 30% less current from your mains supply than old designs.
* Power factor near unity, old designs less then 0.7.
* Controlled output. We set the output and it remains the same regardless of local mains variations.
* DVDT Control, No smart charger can be without it.
* LCD display. This gives comprehensive charge information, current, voltage, time on charge, ampere hours, and much more.
* Lower battery temperature rise, Output is near pure DC so the battery heats up less and has lower water consumption during charging.
* Proven reliable operation. In operation since 1993 Stanbury Scarf and Lord's track record is outstanding.
* Full manufacturers support - proven, reliable and consistent, Australia wide.
* Quality built for Australia and Australian conditions which are amongst the toughest in the world. Convection cooling means no moving parts and more reliability.
* Able to cope with varying voltage changes. For large voltage changers please seek manufactures recommendations.
Stanbury Battery Chargers are unconditionally guaranteed against defect in workmanship or materials for a period of 1 year from date of purchase.
Constant Voltage Boost (CVB) Battery Chargers return constant power (CW) back into the battery until the battery voltage reaches the Constant Voltage (CV) Level. Thereafter, the charger current falls depending on the state of charge of the battery. If the battery is loaded and the voltage falls below the CV level, the charger reverts back to the CW mode and the whole process repeats. In this way, full use is made of the battery charger capacity during the Constant Power stage. During the Boost mode, the maximum charger output current is limited to 30 - 40% of the rated battery charger current.

HONOLULU - The Program Research and Evaluation Office in the Curriculum Research & Development Group (CRDG) at UH Mānoa's College of Education will collect and interpret data on the effects of arts education for the Hawaiʻi Arts Alliance, which was recently awarded a four-year, $1.1 million grant by the U. S. Department of Education's Arts in Education Model Development and Dissemination (AEMDD) program.
CRDG received $356,400 for the project and will conduct research that will provide them with opportunities to train young researchers, and to expand their repertoire of research capabilities.
The AEMDD program provides elementary school teachers professional development and in-class mentoring in how to use the arts (drama, dance, music and the visual arts) to teach reading and mathematics. The Alliance will oversee the grant and provide teacher training and mentoring. The project is part of the ARTS FIRST Strategic Plan. The ARTS FIRST group, comprised of the College of Education and the Arts Alliance, UH Mānoa's College of Arts and Humanities, the State Department of Education, Hawaiʻi Association of Independent Schools and the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, is working to place art programs in every school in the state.
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to partner with the Hawaiʻi Arts Alliance once again," said Dr. Paul Brandon, chair of program research and evaluation at CRDG. "Preliminary findings from research conducted in the first project suggest that the project had positive effects on student performance. It is hoped that findings from the study will have an impact on student success in arts education."
The research is designed as a quasi-experiment in which the Alliance will train and mentor teachers at four public elementary schools on Oʻahu. Two of the four schools will serve as the control group in the first year of the project and will receive project training thereafter. The researchers will compare schools at various stages of teacher training. Children will be followed over the course of the grant, and the effects of the project on their achievement, attitudes and interest in the arts will be measured. The effects on teacher skills in using the arts to teach reading and mathematics, and their attitudes toward teaching with the arts also will be examined.

Project: Kerkerkruip Title Sequence
I have begun my first Glimmr project (aside from the extensions themselves, of course): I am working on an animated title sequence for Kerkerkruip, Victor Gijsbers's excellent interactive fiction roguelike. Kerkerkruip has recently moved into a new, open phase of development, with the source code on github and design input being actively solicited, so this is a good time for other folks to get involved as well!
Since this blog has been silent for a time's-stitch of months, it is probably worth contextualizing a bit. Kerkerkruip is written in Inform 7, a system for writing text adventures. I have written a suite of extensions for the system that allows users to realize something close to the full potential of Inform 7's otherwise barely-there support for graphics. Those extensions are collectively known as Glimmr. You can explore Glimmr in more detail through other posts on this blog; in particular, there are a number of posts on its animation capabilities.
So, the plan for the title sequence is pretty simple: First, we show the Kerkerkruip cover art. Then, because Kerkerkruip is primarily a game of tactical combat vs. interesting enemies–including a golem made of chains, a bouncing exploding ball of flesh, and a telepathic slug–we present a rogue's gallery of the characters that the player has engaged with.
I have chosen to "draw" these character portraits using a kind of typographic collage, using only letterforms to render lines, volumes, patterns, etc. I'm posting drafts of them to Pinterest as they're completed. There are a couple of more finished examples later in the post; I am also linking to a few of my touchstones for the style used. (You might think of the form as a lower-resolution version of the examples of "typewriter art" that have hit the web lately.) This approach seems an appropriate nod to both interactive fiction and to roguelikes, the former because of its emphasis on text–of course–and the latter for their association with individual ASCII symbols to represent game entities. At the same time, this sort of typographic collage doesn't fall afoul of the "retro" sandtrap (as straight-up ASCII art likely would). Finally–and critically!–the technique shifts the execution from a problem of draftsmanship to one of design. That's a place I feel a lot more comfortable.
The sequence is still in the planning stage. Here is the current breakdown:
- Fade in on the Kerkerkruip cover art and let it hover a moment.
- Cross-fade to a typographically collaged version of the cover art's cell bars, then zoom forward, through the bars, to show the game's main menu options.
- At any time after we arrive at the main menu, the player may make a selection from the menu to continue. The main menu itself may have some very minor (read: eye candy) movement.
- Once the main menu is in view, the rogue's gallery will begin animating alongside, flipping at a leisurely pace through the enemies that the player has faced one by one. A few statistics summarizing the player's encounters with each enemy will be displayed next to it.
- The gallery loops until the player makes a menu selection, at which point the menu fades out and the screen selected appears.
Here are a couple of mockups of entries from the rogue's gallery, featuring the giant tentacle and the reaper, a serial killer who dresses up like Death:
The visual metaphor is of a stack of placards, which we're shown one at a time; they are intended to vaguely resemble character cards in a game like Yomi or Magic: The Gathering. The statistics to be shown are not final; we'll need to see what's feasible/desirable to keep track of. If there aren't enough different statistics, information about the character itself could be used.
Thoughts/comments on the plan or the mockups are welcome!

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators plan to accept revised proposals from Thomson Reuters to end an investigation into whether its control over its financial instrument codes was anticompetitive, two people familiar with the matter said on Monday.
The sources, who were not from inside Thomson Reuters, said the decision meant the news and information company would not be penalized and that the investigation would be dropped.
The Commission had expressed concern that Thomson Reuters may have abused its dominant position in financial data by preventing customers from using its codes to get data from rivals and cross-reference them.
The case is part of an effort by EU regulators to ensure that traders and other users can get access to financial data at reasonable rates and be able to switch to competing services.
The coding case was opened in October 2009 and the company has offered various concessions since, with the latest round proposed in May. It is these concessions - including lower license fees for using the codes - that would now be accepted.
The EU Commission and Thomson Reuters competitors argued that the company's control of access to 'Reuters Instrument Codes' to tag stocks, bonds and other instruments reduced competition in the market for financial data.
A Thomson Reuters spokeswoman declined to comment but said: "Thomson Reuters has been working closely with the European Commission to come to a mutually acceptable outcome and looks forward to resolving this matter as soon as possible."
The Reuters news agency is part of Thomson Reuters.
The European Commission is expected to announce its decision in the coming weeks, possibly before Christmas, one of the sources said. Both sources declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter.
"This investigation is ongoing. No further comment," Antoine Colombani, spokesman for competition policy at the European Commission, said in an email.
In December 2011, Thomson Reuters offered to open the classification to competitors for a licensing fee but competitors and trading firms sought more.
In July, the EU said Thomson Reuters had proposed to reduce license fees and simplify the fee structure for the RIC system, which is used to search and map data.
Users would also be allowed to use the codes for instruments traded over the counter.
As part of its wider look at financial data, the Commission also settled with credit rating agency Standard & Poor's last year. The Commission had opened an investigation over concerns that S&P was charging excessive fees for its proprietary data.

The World of Walnuts
February 11, 2013 - Dr. Greg Walsh
If you have ever been to a party featuring a bowl full of mixed nuts, you will invariably find that there will be very few walnuts. This happens for two reasons.
1) Everyone at the party will go for the walnuts first.
2) Walnuts seem to be twice as expensive as the other nuts, voiding them from becoming as big a filler in the mix as a nut like the almond.
Though Sanibel and Fort Myers seem to be tough places to find walnuts in their shells, they can still be bought in local grocery stores like Bailey's, Jerry's and Publix. There is even an individual that sells the nuts at the Farmer's Market on Sundays by the Sanibel Library. If you are lucky enough to find a consistent supply of walnuts in their shells but are unsure how to open them, do not be afraid! The secret is to line the "cracker" up so that the metal parts are touching the dividing line of the nut. I like to cover the operation with my free hand to minimize the shell explosion.
Not only are walnuts delicious but they are extremely beneficial to your health. Here are a few of their benefits:
• Their main claim to fame is being rich in omega 3 fatty acids, which are vital to maintaining healthy levels of cholesterol, reducing blood pressure and decreasing your risks for certain cancers.
• They have high levels of certain antioxidants which help repair damage to our DNA.
• For those of you with muscle aches, walnuts will help boost your levels of potassium and magnesium. These minerals have been shown to be important in keeping your muscles relaxed and help avoid cramping.
• They pack a punch with vitamin E, which is great for keeping your skin healthy and their natural B vitamins provide the tools for our body to maintain itself with high levels of energy.
• There is a reason they look like little brains! The Journal of Alzheimer's disease reported that walnuts may play a large role in helping your memory and brain functions.
• They provide a source of protein and fiber, especially helpful for those vegetarians out there.

Monica missed her brother's big day because she was in the middle of opening a new restaurant, but she told the website that both Javier's mom, Pilar, and his brother, Charles, attended the Bahamas nuptials earlier this month.
"They are very happy," Monica said.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, the Oscar winners (Penelope got her Best Supporting Actress Oscar for 2008's "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," while Javier got his Best Supporting Actor for 2007's "No Country For Old Men), married earlier this month in a private ceremony in the Bahamas.
Although Penelope has dated a host of leading men in the past, including Tom Cruise and Matthew McConnaughey, she kept her relationship with fellow Spaniard Javier under the radar. The two are rarely photographed together.

How to adjust the gears on your bike
Indexing gears, setting derailleur limits and replacing a rear derailleur explained
A silent and smooth-running transmission can make all the difference to your ride. In this guide we'll explain how to adjust your front derailleur and your rear derailleur, as well as demonstrate how to diagnose and fix common shifting problems with your bike gears.
- How to adjust a Shimano clutch derailleur
- How to clean your bike chain
- How to replace the gear cables on your road bike
How to diagnose common drivetrain problems
The first thing to do is to find out what's wrong with your gears. The video below shows you what to look out for when you've got misfiring gears.
Watch it here or read the summary beneath.
Problem: Gears won't shift up or down perfectly with one click
Solution: This is most commonly caused by stretched gear cables and you will need to re-index your gears. The second video in this article explains how.
Problem: Gears are well indexed but the chain keeps dropping off of either end of the cassette or chainrings
Solution: This is most commonly caused by poorly set up derailleur limits and these will require adjusting. See the third video for an explanation on how.
Problem: My rear gears are properly indexed, but the chain shifts too far in one direction
Solution: If the chain won't run to the bottom of the cassette and shifts over the big cog into the spokes (or vice-versa), it sounds like a bent rear hanger needs straightening or replacing. If you've been in a crash or damaged the bike somehow, this is the likely cause. The final video below explains how to do this.
Problem: Down-shifting is fine but upshifting is sticky or slow
Solution: When were your cables last replaced? Dirty cables and housing can cause slow or inaccurate shifting.
Problem: Chain slipping, jumping and generally misbehaving
Solution: Inspect your cassette, chain and chainrings for wear. Can you see a pointy shark-fin-like profile on your cog teeth or chainrings? We're sorry to say, but that sounds like you may need to replace your chain, cassette and chainrings.
Indexing your gears
If the gears on your bike are properly indexed, each click of the shifter will cause a single shift up or down the gears, front or rear. If you find you're skipping a gear or that your shifting is getting stuck, then there's a good chance you need to adjust your indexing.
Indexing problems can be caused by cable stretch, which is a normal part of the bedding-in process for new bikes or cables.
Check that a bent or damaged rear derailleur isn't to blame first. If it's all good, here's how to index or re-index your gears.
What you need
- A hex key to fit your derailleur cable retention bolt, usually a size 4 or 5mm
What to do
Step 1
Shift your front derailleur into the middle or smallest ring, then wind your rear barrel adjuster in fully clockwise, then out one turn. Release the cable mounting bolt on the back of the derailleur.
Step 2
Pedal gently and push the derailleur until the chain moves up to the second-smallest cog, then stop pedalling. Pull the shifter cable taut and retighten the retention bolt, taking care not to overtighten it, which can cause the cable to fray. Pedal gently and the chain should return to the smallest cog, then test the indexing by using the shifter to move through the cassette.
If upshifting is hesitant, gradually increase cable tension by turning the barrel adjuster a quarter turn anticlockwise and trying again. If your bike over-shifts, reduce the cable tension by turning your barrel adjuster clockwise until the chain runs smoothly in the second smallest cog.
If upshifting is responsive, but downshifting isn't, then there's a high chance the problem is dirty inner cables or housing, in which case you should try lubricating them or replacing them.
Step 3
Shift your front derailleur to the smallest ring and your rear to a cog near the middle of the cassette then slacken the front derailleur cable by winding the barrel adjuster fully clockwise.
Release the cable retention bolt, take any slack out of the cable and then re-tighten the cable retention bolt.
Attempt to shift to the middle or outer ring. If shifting is hesitant, wind the barrel adjuster one half turn anticlockwise before pedalling again.
Repeat this process until the chain steps up cleanly onto the bigger ring. If you have a third chainring, try upshifting to it and add another half turn if shifting is still hesitant.
Once you're happy with your upshifting, drop back down through the rings to check your downshifts.
Setting derailleur limits
Limit screws control the range of movement of a derailleur. If they're not set properly, then your chain may be able to drop from the cassette or chainrings, which can be dangerous — for both you and your bike.
Before getting started, ensure that your derailleur hanger hasn't been bent. If it is, you'll need to fix or replace it — see the video below for how to do this.
What you need
- A small crosshead screwdriver
What to do
Step 1
Locate the lower limit screw, which will be marked with an 'L', and screw it fully clockwise.
Push on the derailleur to manually shift up to the highest gear possible — this should take you to the second or third biggest ring on the cassette.
While still manually pressing on the derailleur, gently turn the cranks and wind out the low (L) stop screw until the cassette shifts to the biggest cog and isn't jumping or clicking.
Step 2
Wind out the high (H) adjuster and allow the chain to move towards the bottom of the cassette by pedalling gently.
Wind in the high adjuster until the chain returns to the smallest ring/highest gear and runs smoothly without jumping or clicking.
Your rear high and low limits should now be set.
Step 3
Adjust your jockey-wheel clearance by locating the screw on the top-rear of the derailleur. This adjustment is referred to as the B-tension or 'dangle-angle'.
With the bike in the highest gear, the upper jockey wheel should run just clear of the cassette. Turning clockwise will increase the gap, anti-clockwise will close it.
Adjust until there is about 2mm of clearance.
Step 4
Shift the front gears to the smallest ring and the back gears to the largest cog. Fully wind in the front derailleurs low limit (L) adjust screw.
You should complete this procedure with a slack gear cable, so you can be sure that cable tension isn't overriding your low limit setting.
To do this, release the cable retention bolt on the derailleur. Slowly turn the pedals and wind out the screw until the chain returns to the small ring and runs smoothly, without rubbing on the derailleur cage.
Pull the slack from the cable and re-tighten the retention bolt, not so tightly that you fray the cable. Wind in the high limit (H) stop screw. Shift the rear gears to the smallest cog.
Pull on the gear cable manually, not with the shifter. You can use a tyre lever to pull on the cable, so that it doesn't dig into your hand.
Keeping pressure on the cable, wind out the screw a half turn at a time until the chain jumps to the biggest ring. After this, quarter turns will allow you to adjust the derailleur so it doesn't rub the chain.
Your high and low stops are now set, but you will probably need to make adjustments to your front indexing using the barrel adjuster.
Replacing a bent rear derailleur hanger
Derailleur hangers are sacrificial parts that are specifically designed to bend or break in the event of an impact to prevent more costly damage to your derailleur or frame.
If your rear shifting isn't working properly and your bike has suffered a knock — in a crash or while loading into a car, for example — then there's a good chance your hanger is bent.
Bending a hanger is easily done, which is why we'd recommend always carrying a spare with you on the road or trail, as well as a multitool with the right size hex keys.
Any hanger will work with any derailleur, but you might need to do some research to find one that is compatible with your frame.
Don't be tempted to try to bend your hanger back to shape during a ride, because it's likely to break, leaving you with a long walk home.
Instead, you could try readjusting your rear derailleur limits and indexing, by following the videos above, to compensate for the misalignment. This might not give you access to your whole cassette, but it'll get you home.
Assuming you have a spare to hand, here's how to install it.
What you need
- Multi-tool
- Appropriately sized hex keys
What to do
Step 1
From behind the bike, sight the line of the chain as it runs over the cassette and through the upper and lower jockey-wheels.
All three should be arranged in a straight line, and if they're not, you're going to have to go ahead and replace the hanger.
Bends towards the wheel are the most common, though outward misalignment is possible too.
Step 2
Remove your rear wheel. Then remove the derailleur from the hanger, allowing it to rest on the chain.
Step 3
Next, undo any bolts connecting the hanger to the frame, taking care not to lose them.
Reverse this process to fit your new hanger, quickly check your limits and indexing, and you're ready to ride.

Given a string s and a number n, find the most frequently occurring n-gram in the string, where the n-grams can begin at any point in the string. This comes up in DNA analysis, where the 3-base reading frame for a codon can begin at any point in the sequence.
So for
s = 'AACTGAACG'
n = 3
we get the following n-grams (trigrams):
Since AAC appears twice, then the answer, hifreq, is AAC. There will always be exactly one highest frequency n-gram.
This problem was originally inspired by a MATLAB Newsgroup discussion.
It should be noted that spaces should be ignored or else test suites 3 and 5 fail.
Sorry about this, but I got stuck and I want to learn how to do it. After looking at several solutions, I found my mistake and was able to create my own solution :)
What happens if the test suite changed in the future?
This solution is not correct in general, as the way of using hankel here, generates n-1 fake fragments
Clever usage of the Hankel matrix. I don't automatically think of the Hankel for this application, but it really works well. Thanks - I've learned something
What's the point of a 'solution' like this? It passes the test suite, but in what way was it interesting for you to write it?

As Y'all will be shocked to learn that once again our hero JENSE' stuck his (Brawn) "Bee-Gee 01" racecar on provisional pole, with young German Whippersnapper Nico Rosberg being the meat in a Brawnie sandwich, as he was P2 while elder Formula 1 statesman Rubinoe was third quick, with the next two spots going to the Red Bull mono difusser chassis, with Mark "Barbie" Webber besting young Zebb.
Of course the entertaining portion of yesterday's practice was the fact that Ferrari and McLaren held spots 9-12-13-14, with "KOVY" (Kovalainen) leading the pack ahead of Massa, Hamilton and Raikkonen respectively... With BMW Sauber toiling in P17-18 and Fredrico Suave (F. Alonso) who'd ripped Bridgestone a new orifice over bringing the "super-soft's" to Shanghai languishing in 19th.
And Ferrari having seen The Iceman suffer three KERS failures in Malaysia decided to dump the system for the Chinese weekend, while I'm not exactly pleased to hear all of the scuttlebutt suggesting that Hamilton Senior somehow helped instigate the Ronster's demise from McLaren F1, as this seems a nasty way to reward the man who brought your son a World Championship after having inked him to a contract at the tender age of 13, eh?
Yet, I suppose the Rally-Rally-Rally Big News occurred upon the Indy Car side of the Pacific... As I'm guessing Y'all have heard that Hulio has been declared innocent... (Uhm? I'm thinkin' he's pulled another fast one here and certainly will be glad he can keep all of those snazzy uniforms, eh?) While Meesh & the Sham-Wow! Amongst others (myself included) will be celebrating Paul Tracy's arrival... With the announcement that he'll be driving the No. 15 KVRT entry at Indianapolis this May. While Davey "I Believe" Hamilton has been inked to drive Dreyer & Reinbold's third Dallara/Honda at the Speedway this May... Now all we need is for the 93rd INDY 500 Entry list to be unveiled, eh?
Oh yeah, according to Will of Is it May yet? Will Power will be in the No. 12 Verizon "Can you hear me now?" Penske at the Speedway, as I'd assume that means that Sam Hornish Jr. will be at Charlotte drinkin' Coke's, while there's NO word on whether or not Milkalicious will be able to find a spare Dallara for some hot laps at Indy this May?

A couple weeks ago at the Woodward Dream Cruise I overheard a couple talking with a friend of theirs after they parked their new Chrysler 200.
Friend: "So you bought the Eminem car." (laughter)
The driver, looking down at the ground: "I didn't buy it for that reason, but yeah it's the 'Eminem car.'"
Recalling the Chrysler 200 conversation, I have to wonder if Kia Soul owners get "is that the hamster car?" And does it leave people feeling pride or shame.
Good thing for Kia their young demographic probably doesn't remember much of the Richard Gere hamster/gerbil rumor.
I'm guessing most of it is pride since the campaign has been very well received and reading the YouTube comments on this latest ad shows people love and defend the hamsters.

O2 Wireless
July 3-6, London
Price: TBA
Line-up: TBA, but inevitably one big act per day, with smaller acts spread across three or four stages. Last year saw Daft Punk, Kaiser Chiefs, The White Stripes and Faithless play.
Heavily branded party in a park affair: guaranteed to feature a few big-hitters, but always littered with indie makeweights. Still, a worthwhile day out if a few favourites are collected on the same bill – last year Queens of the Stone Age played before The White Stripes.

Reading and Leeds
August 22-24, Reading and Leeds
Price: TBA
Line-up: nothing confirmed, but rumours include: Rage Against The Machine
Now stripped of its Carling Weekend branding, old-schooler Reading and the fresher Leeds Festival are moving into 2008 without officially confirming anything line-up wise. The festival is one of the biggest in the UK, though, so obviously expect a series of chart-topping acts and the usual slew of mid-level indie and rock bands.
More information
And that takes us 'til the end of the summer months – in September there's more more more, though, from Bestival and End of the Road, among others. Then there's Iceland Airwaves and Concrete and Glass (news) in October, and ATP's Nightmare Before Christmas to look forward to in December. DiS's Festival sub-site will be carrying previews, reviews and news on all/some of the above, and more, over the coming months.
DiScuss: Who do you think will headline the country's biggest festivals this summer? Have you already bought tickets to any festivals? Which ones are you especially looking forward to? Are foreign festivals becoming more attractive to you, as you get older/tired of the same ol' domestic line-ups?

DURHAM, N.C. - Duke freshman Michael Gbinije will transfer out of the program, school officials announced on Monday. The Chester, Va., native averaged 1.7 points and 0.8 rebounds per game while playing in 19 contests last season. Gbinije leaves Duke in good academic standing and is expected to transfer to another Division I school.
"We wish Michael [Gbinije] the best of luck and we will support him through his impending transfer," said head coach Mike Krzyzewski. "He is a talented player with a solid future ahead of him."
Gbinije shot 55.0 percent (11-of-20) from the floor and made all seven of his free throw attempts as a freshman. He scored a season-high eight points and added three rebounds in a Dec. 19 win over UNC Greensboro.

Looking for Samuel Adams Jr. descendents
Grandma Em?s account march 18 1985
Dearest Mag and Leo:
To answer some of your questions:
G?ma Adams was a cousin to Mark Hopkins. G?ma Adams father?s first wife was Lucy Jane Kingsley, whose bloodline goes back to Stephen Hopkins, May flower passenger. So g?ma Adams was only a cousin-in-law. G?ma Adams was Sarah Hopkins ?hired girl? for a year at age 18. Sarah?s maiden name was Keeney. Mary Anne Keeney, I believe was Sarah?s mother. Have a picture somewhere that may confirm this.
George Colburn Adams married Mary Maria Comings on October 31, 1906 at the Comings Farm in Galesburg, Mich.
The spoon dated October 30 1905 was her gift from him on their engagement. Now a well kept secret comes out, your dad and were married by a judge in Chicago on October 30 1931 but we knew G?ma Adams wanted it October 31 like hers ? sooo- we appeared together the night after our marriage all dressed up and said to her ?We were just married? I guess I broke her heart because it wasn?t done in a church. Neither your dad nor I wanted any fanfare.
The spoon from ?Nellie? may have been a wedding gift heirloom from Nellie Fox Adams, known as Aunt Nellie. She was the mother of Russell Adams. His father was Will Adams, believed lost when the Eastland Disaster occurred. Will Adams was brother of your g?pa George C. and your Great aunt ? Elizabeth Moentz Van Ness. Therefore ?Nellie? was your great aunt also.
Your g?g grandmother was Emma Mills Comings; her mother was Emily Root Mills. The Mills family has 12 children and lived next farm to the Comings? farm.
Mary Comings Adams:
B. 6-13-1884 at Comstock, MI
D. 2-6-1964 in Dozier Nursing Home Palatine IL
George Colburn Adams: B. 2-25-1885 at Comstock, MI
D. 7-9-1929 in Washington Bldv. Hosp., Chicago, IL
Both are buried in Adams lot in Galesburg, MI, Oak Grove Cemetery.
The Comings Farm was 2 miles from center of Galesburg in Comstock Township. G?ma Adams was born at this farm and at time heir to (1) acre of the property. This was sold for $1,000 when G?ma was 23 years old, to pay for her teaching certificate and supplies. She taught 3rd grade for 2 or 3 years.
G?pa Adams? father (George Rodney Crittenden Adams) owned a farm in Comstock. He was born in their farm home. At that time Geo.R.C. Adams was Postmaster for Comstock, Michigan. G?pa Adams? mother was Ida Adams (Holden).
I have a work copy on the family chart but must type it and run off copies for those who want one. May be Xmas before done!
Your Comings line goes back to Edward I, king of England, he died in 1307 A.D.
Your Adams line goes back to Charlemagne and G?pa Adams? great great grandfather was Samuel Adams. We do not descend from John Adams line. Your Uncle Bill Adams has an original desk handed down from Samuel who got it from Stephen Hopkins.
Material from phone call with your dad and I do not have his army serial number. It can be checked with Veterans Administration Personnel Records dept, Wash.D.C. Or ask him. H e was attached to the 34th Medical Administration Corps during the WWII.

Carlo Berarducci-Zen Sushi Japanese Restaurant
At Design Interviews
(Excerpt) Interview with Carlo Berarducci : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Carlo Berarducci : The main inspiration are the walkways in the forest that bring to the temples of Fushimi Inari in Kyoto, made by the succession of hundreds of matt black and glossy red-orange wooden portals. The idea was to reproduces their colors and suggestions to impress a clear Japanese feeling to the space. The principle was to conceptualize the essence of these sensations, the contrast between matt black and glossy red-orange, the repetition of close vertical elements, the dynamic dimension of the walkways, and the lights made by thousands of rice paper lamps, and reproduce them in a contemporary way, avoiding a simple vernacular or pastiche like reproduction. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Carlo Berarducci : What I wanted to achieve was to realize a contemporary space immediately recognizable as Japanese. The focus was on how to impress a Japanese feeling through the use of materials and colors. This was pursued by the use of the black and red-orange, the contrast between matt and polished surfaces, and the rice paper light source metaphor of the typical rice paper lamps you can see all around and inside the temples. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Carlo Berarducci : Some of the main principles of the design strategy that drove the project have been already transported in other following projects, such us the deconstructed use of independent elements as suspended inside an environment made emptied and left as much possible unchanged and naked with installations exposed as an open engine. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Carlo Berarducci : 20 years and one month? If you consider that architecture practice is a never ending research on space, materials, and forms, that brings ideas and results from one project to the next, the last project is the result of 20 years of design research plus one month designing the last one. Out of this the idea was seen in the first ten minutes or so, as soon as I was asked to design a Japanese restaurant. After this it needed one month to fix the idea in clare and rigorous forms followed by the design of all the executives and detailed design schemes to made it built by a contractor. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Carlo Berarducci : The work was commissioned by the restaurant's owners, but they leaved me total freedom about the concept, and when I propose them the idea, just with a sketch and a photo of Fushimi Inari they leave me continuing on that way without any restriction. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Carlo Berarducci : No it isn't. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Carlo Berarducci : The design idea was to think about an architectural promenade inspired by the walkways of Kyoto, therefore the space in conceived as a process rather than an interior decoration, to follow and emphasize the dynamic nature of the kaiten. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Carlo Berarducci : First of all the Fushimi Inari temples design as mentioned above, together with the anonymous design of timber window screens in the traditional houses of Kyoto and the work of the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, then the one of Jean Nouvel that teaches to follow one strong idea at time, and moreover of Mies van der Rohe, that in some more indirect way is always present in my mind making me thinking about what not to do and how resist to the temptation of over designing. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Carlo Berarducci : Zen sushi has been the first Japanese restaurant to bring in Italy the kaiten, the particular revolving belt carrying on sushi on colored saucers indicating prices, and the restaurant born as a sushi bar for an easy, casual and quick target customers enjoing the kaiten at the bar. The renovated space has more comfortable tables areas and a waiting area with living sofas for the usual queues, and impress a more exciting atmosphere to the sushi bar and the whole environment, but the target has been kept to be for a quick, easy and informal dining. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Carlo Berarducci : I think the fact that the space in thought as a whole and as a process, or what Le Corbusier would have called an "architectural promenade", a dynamic succession of steps and changes of direction that gradually reveals the space inviting to continue exploring it, rather than an interior decoration of the single rooms. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Carlo Berarducci : Zen Sushi was the name of the restaurant before and it was maintained. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Carlo Berarducci : Paper and pen for the concept, then 3d autocad and Rhinoceros for 3d models and visualizations and autocad 2d programs for the executive design. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Carlo Berarducci : I think the colors and the ultra polished lacquered pvc ceilings that drive the eyes through the space, inviting to go ahead inside the environment following their straight lines. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Carlo Berarducci : The design team of my studio of course, that ensure having detailed design and photorealistic visualization in just a month and giving them to a very good contractor able to do all the constructions work in the five weeks of summer holidays as requested by the clients, together with Artemide as light consultants, Barrisol as ceiling furniture, and Alfa Marmi for marble works. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Carlo Berarducci : Technology is exposed as an open engine, all air systems and ceiling support as simply exposed painted in black so that they become barely visible. .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?. Carlo Berarducci : The research was about memory. The search has been to dig into memory looking for what has been more impressive about Japan in my own experience, and how it could be abstracted to be used in a contemporary but recognizable way. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Carlo Berarducci : One of the main challenge was to transform the back of the long and narrow environment of the restaurant, in an attractive and comfortable place to stay, as the space around the kaiten sushi bar in the middle, foreseeing comfortable benches seats and spacious tables without loosing seating capacity. The second challenge was to do the detailed design in a month to make it built it in the four weeks of August holidays. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Carlo Berarducci : Because I believe it is a strong design that have been able to change completely the image of the restaurant changing the way it is perceived and the atmosphere people feel inside and consequently, the behavior, bringing an international air in the usually traditional restaurant scenery in Rome. People says they feel like being in London or New York rather than in Rome, and I think this too is what I was looking for. .Frank Scott: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?. Carlo Berarducci : I learn more about the incredible power of architecture and interior architecture to change environment and the way people feel like inside a space. .Frank Scott: Any other things you would li.[ End of Excerpt: Read complete interview with Carlo Berarducci on Zen Sushi Japanese Restaurant at design-interviews.com ]

NES coffee table!
Since building my Asteroids arcade cabinet replica/ television cabinet, My videogame collection has grown almost double the size, I've completely filled the storage space in the cabinet and now there are boxes, consoles and loose carts all over the floor.
A few weeks ago I decided it was about time I made myself some more storage space, and so I began to make this.....
Golly gosh! What could this possibly be!?....
Wait a second! I recognise those shapes! That's a ginourmous fucking NES controller!
(this is what my hands looked like after cutting out the above pieces, basically I had to cut those pieces out of a big piece of 4mm MDF. The only cutting utensil I had at hand was a half blunt graphics scalpel....)
I saw the giant NES controller they made on G4TV and one thing that I thought looked kind stupid was how the surface was perfectly flat and the edges were perfectly sharp (not bevelled), so with this I decided to use some 4mm MDF as a second layer to raise the bits where the plastic stands out, in the next post I'll show how I bevelled the edges to scale.
Here are the button holes after I cut them out, I used a drill and a jigsaw to cut the D-pad holes and a 90mm hole-saw for the A and B buttons, and a spade bit and the jigsaw for start and select.
Here's the top part of the coffee table being glued and clamped together, I didn't want to use screws or nails because I plan to bevel the edged where the screws would obtrude.
And there you go! phase 1 of the NES coffee table/storage box complete, next up; bevelling the edges so they don't look sucky. Awesome.

Hi, that is an *awesome* piece of furniture, welldone. Looking at the pic with Emily in it I noticed your HiFi rack in the background was a little overladen and under designed.

The larger that the head size is for your babolat pure drive, the more power you will be provided with. Additionally, a larger wilson k six size means a larger sweet spot which is why beginners as well as intermediate players often prefer to work with a head microgel with a larger head size.
