10 Commandments for Java Developers
There are many standards and best practices for Java Developers out there. This article outlines ten most basic rules that every developer must adhere to and the disastrous outcomes that can follow if these rules are not followed.
1. Add comments to your code. – Everybody knows this, but somehow forgets to follow it. How many times have you "forgotten" to add comments? It is true that the comments do not literally contribute to the functionality of a program. But time and time again you return to the code that you wrote two weeks ago and, for the life of you, you cannot remember what it does! You are lucky if this uncommented code is actually yours. In those cases something may spark your memory. Unfortunately most of the time it is somebody else's, and many times the person is no longer with the company! There is a saying that goes "one hand washes the other." So let's be considerate to one another (and ourselves) and add comments to your code.
2. Do not complicate things. – I have done it before and I am sure all of you have. Developers tend to come up with complicated solutions for the simplest problems. We introduce EJBs into applications that have five users. We implement frameworks that an application just does not need. We add property files, object-oriented solutions, and threads to application that do not require such things. Why do we do it? Some of us just do not know any better, but some of us do it on purpose to learn something new, to make it interesting for ourselves. For those who do not know any better, I recommend reaching out to the more experienced programmers for advice. And to those of us that are willing to complicate the design of an application for personal gains, I suggest being more professional.
3. Keep in Mind – "Less is more" is not always better. – Code efficiency is a great thing, but in many situations writing less lines of code does not improve the efficiency of that code. Let me give you a "simple" example:
if(newStatusCode.equals("SD") && (sellOffDate == null || todayDate.compareTo(sellOffDate)<0 || (lastUsedDate != null && todayDate.compareTo(lastUsedDate)>0)) || (newStatusCode.equals("OBS") && (OBSDate == null || todayDate.compareTo(OBSDate)<0))){ newStatusCode = "NYP"; }
How easy is it to figure out what this "if" condition is doing? Now imagine that whoever wrote this code, did not follow rule number 1 – Add comments to your code.
Wouldn't it be much easier if we could separate this condition into two separate if statements? Now, consider this revised code:
if(newStatusCode.equals("SD") && (sellOffDate == null || todayDate.compareTo(sellOffDate)<0 || (lastUsedDate != null && todayDate.compareTo(lastUsedDate)>0))){ newStatusCode = "NYP"; }else if(newStatusCode.equals("OBS") && (OBSDate == null || todayDate.compareTo(OBSDate)<0)) { newStatusCode = "NYP"; }
Isn't it much more readable? Yes, we have repeating statements. Yes, we have one extra "IF" and two extra curly braces, but the code is much more readable and understandable!
4. No hard coding please. – Developers often forget or omit this rule on purpose because we are, as usual, crunched for time. But maybe if we had followed this rule, we would not have ended up in the situation that we are in. How long does it take to write one extra line of code that defines a static final variable?
Here is an example:
public class A { public static final String S_CONSTANT_ABC = "ABC"; public boolean methodA(String sParam1){ if (A.S_CONSTANT_ABC.equalsIgnoreCase(sParam1)){ return true; } return false; } }
Now every time we need to compare literal "ABC" with some variable, we can reference A.S_CONSTANT_ABC instead of remembering what the actual code is. It is also much easier to modify this constant in one place rather then looking for it though out all of the code.
5. Do not invent your own frameworks. – There are literally thousands of frameworks out there and most of them are open-source. Many of these frameworks are superb solutions that have been used in thousands of applications. We need to keep up to date with the new frameworks, at least superficially. One of the best and most obvious examples of a superb widely used framework is Struts. This open source web framework is a perfect candidate to be used in web-based applications. Please do not come up with your own version of Struts, you will die trying. But you must remember rule number 3 – Do not complicate things. If the application that you are developing has 3 screens – please, do not use Struts, there isn't much "controlling" required for such an application.
6. Say no to Print lines and String Concatenations. – I know that for debugging purposes, developers like to add System.out.println everywhere we see fit. And we say to ourselves that we will delete these later. But we often forget to delete these lines of code or we do not want to delete them. We use System.out.println to test, why would we be touching the code after we have tested it? We might remove a line of code that we actually need! Just so that you do not underestimate the damage of System.out.println, consider the following code:
public class BadCode { public static void calculationWithPrint(){ double someValue = 0D; for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { System.out.println(someValue = someValue + i); } } public static void calculationWithOutPrint(){ double someValue = 0D; for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { someValue = someValue + i; } } public static void main(String [] n) { BadCode.calculationWithPrint(); BadCode.calculationWithOutPrint(); } }
In the figure below, you can observe that method calculationWithOutPrint() takes 0.001204 seconds to run. In comparison, it takes a staggering 10.52 seconds to run the calculationWithPrint() method.
(If you would like to know how to produce a table like this, please read my article entitled "Java Profiling with WSAD" Java Profiling with WSAD )
The best way to avoid such CPU waste is to introduce a wrapper method that looks something like this:
public class BadCode { public static final int DEBUG_MODE = 1; public static final int PRODUCTION_MODE = 2; public static void calculationWithPrint(int logMode){ double someValue = 0D; for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { someValue = someValue + i; myPrintMethod(logMode, someValue); } } public static void myPrintMethod(int logMode, double value) { if (logMode > BadCode.DEBUG_MODE) { return; } System.out.println(value); } public static void main(String [] n) { BadCode.calculationWithPrint(BadCode.PRODUCTION_MODE); } }
String concatenation is another CPU waster. Consider example below:
public static void concatenateStrings(String startingString) { for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) { startingString = startingString + startingString; } } public static void concatenateStringsUsingStringBuffer( String startingString) { StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(); sb.append(startingString); for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) { sb.append(sb.toString()); } }
In the following figure you can see that the method that uses StringBuffer takes .01 seconds to execute where as the methods that use string concatenation takes .08 seconds to execute. The choice is obvious.

If there is one thing you should rush to do to stop any useless dollars being spent in your marketing budgets now and for the future is to end all money spent with Yellow Pages (yes including those that claim to be "online" these days). It is time to put these paper behemoths permanently in the recycling bins!
According to pewinternet.org, 14% Of the American Population even knows what the Yellow Pages are! 1% Of Americans will ever search for a business in the Yellow Pages. The Yellow pages of today are online business directories such as Google Places, Linkedin, Yelp, and Facebook. All of these sites have options for businesses to set up business accounts with a basic listing always being free of charge. There are of course customization and enhancements to your listings such as running optimized targeted advertising, posting product photos, and video.
The traditional Yellow Pages companies have made the migration online, and Qwestdex (Dexonline) seems to be the most aggressive and capable, yet there is a major problem. They are extremely far behind these other platforms in the areas of SEO. It is rare to find unpaid Dexonline listings ever appearing in the top ten listings on Google for a business. I would love to revisit them in the future, as I am always rooting for businesses to reinvent themselves to survive in the new economy. For now, when it comes to Yellow Pages advertising in any way shape or form, my advice is that from the one-hit-wonder band of the 80's; Slade and their song "Run Runaway!"

In a career marked by extraordinary filmmaking, writer-director Mike Leigh has crafted what is arguably his best film yet, "Another Year," a deceptively simple and small film that drills deep into the human condition.
"Another Year" is presented in four parts, appropriately enough, each relating to both a stage of life and the seasons, as we watch Tom & Gerri play host to a number of friends. Nothing much happens, except for the sharing of food and drink, and yet Leigh and his cast somehow examine all manner of human frailty.
Like Leigh, the central characters specialize in going below the surface. Tom (Jim Broadbent) is a geologist who works on engineering projects. His days involve taking core samples from deep within the Earth to ensure the structural integrity of locations. His wife, Gerri (Ruth Sheen), is a psychiatrist at a hospital. Together, they tend to a small vegetable garden.
No one in cinema is doing more with less these days than Leigh. There are no histrionics or melodrama or shenanigans. The film is populated by totally real people engaged in completely ordinary activities. It's in these moments that Leigh's eye is able to operate as a removed third party, picking up on the tragedy and beauty that often escapes us. Leigh's camera catches the stifled frown, the downcast eye roll, and the bitten lip. It's in those moments that Leigh and his actors manage to convey more thought and emotion than most folks can with five pages of dialog.
Lesley Manville, as Gerri's friend Mary, has garnered the most acclaim among the film's cast, and it's easy to understand why. A beautiful woman by any measure, Manville, 54, sets aside whatever vanity she may possess to show every one of Mary's wrinkles, frown lines and crow's feet, her entire face carved by age, regret and wine. Playing scenes between the calm, contented Tom and Gerri, her anxiety crackles. The woman is a mess.
But Broadbent and Sheen are not to be overlooked as the couple at the axis of their friends and family, keeping the home where everyone pops in for tea or a meal. They are effortlessly kind, gentle and thoughtful.
Another Year opens Dec. 29

Israeli Jerusalem municipality continues its extensive judaizing operations near Damascus Gate, one of the Old City's most renowned gates, as well as in Sultan Suleiman street, adjacent to the Old City's walls.
The first operations launched by the municipality and termed as 'infrastructure restoration and area development' included the setting up of a large fence around the targeted area between Damascus Gate and Herod's Gate (Bab el-Amoud and Bab al-Sahira in Arabic, respectively). The name of the historic Solomon's Cave was changed to 'Yahu's Cave' and Sultan Suleiman Street changed to Yahu Street, within the framework of judaizing the names of streets and monuments in occupied Jerusalem - removing their Arabic names and replacing them with Hebrew ones in order to negate the Palestinian heritage of the city.
Israeli crews also removed many olive trees in the context of changing features of the area and giving it a Talmudic character according to plans made public by the Israeli municipality. The plans include the establishment of Talmudic parks in areas adjacent to the historical Wall of Jerusalem, where there is currently accelerated work near Herod's Gate, while renaming the Umayyad palaces south of Al-Aqsa mosque as 'The Temple Cleansers', referring to the alleged temple that a large group of extremist Jewish organizations has sought to build in place of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Jerusalem is a contentious issue between Israel and the Palestinians, who maintain that the city is the capital of the future Palestinian state. No country in the world recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital, and many United Nations member states formally adhere to the UN proposal that Jerusalem should have an international status.

MECHANICVILLE -- The state comptroller's recent audit of the city's finances sheds light on an "extremely poor state of the City's financial records," involving unrealistic budgets and the city council's failure to oversee the state of city finances. The audit reviewed the city's financial management system from Jan. 1, 2010 to Feb. 29, 2012. State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli's office oversees the fiscal affairs of local governments across the state to monitor and hold accountable the tax dollars spent on government operations. The City of Mechanicville offers services like street maintenance, snow removal, police and fire protection, water and sewer, transportation and recreation services by collecting real property taxes, state aid and fees charged to city residents. According to the report the comptroller's office released, the audit failed to make a determination of the city's true financial condition because the state of its financial records and reports were in such a deprived state. "Even after years of unfiled financial reports, lack of information about current financial conditions and un-reconciled bank accounts, the Council did not take action to correct the city's financial information," the audit states. The audit asserts that if city finances were stressed, the council would have no idea because of the sad state of its accounting records, leaving little opportunity for council members to fix the situation. In 2010 and 2011, Mechanicville failed to file its Annual Update Document with the state comptroller. In 2009, the city was over a year late filing it with the comptroller's office. "At this point, the 2010 AUD is so outdated that much of its utility has been lost. The city will pay thousands of dollars for extra time and work for the CPA to complete the AUD because of the poor condition of the records and will receive diminished value, a waste of taxpayer money," the audit reads. In Mechanicville's accounting system, the audit reports that not a single cash balance entered for the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years were accurate. "The records are so bad that the city's cash balance is monitored on a daily basis by calling the bank to ensure that the city has enough money to pay bills," the audit reported. Another bad accounting practice the audit found the small city guilty of is commingling funds from the general, water and sewer funds in one bank account. The audit reported that "the Deputy Commissioner was unable to determine the accurate cash balances of any of these funds." Because the Commissioner of Accounts Mark Seber lost the minutes from the meeting when the 2012 was voted on and adopted, the office of the comptroller could not verify the 2012 budget was actually voted on and adopted. There was not enough documentation to verify years 2010 and 2012 either. The comptroller's office did not find a certified copy of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 budget on file in the Commissioner of Accounts' office. Seber claimed he was not aware that he should have them on file. Seber noted that the city of Mechanicville does not have a traditional form of government -- they use a commission form of government like Saratoga Springs -- and the commissioners have a lot of independence. "The city has made a lot of changes: Changes in personnel, changes in software. We are now headed in the right direction, but it's a couple years too late," he said.

I have always been a fan of thrifting! I'm guessing you know what thrifting is since you are reading this post, but just in case you don't know what thrifting is… it's when you find great, one-of-a-kind clothing and accessories at second-hand stores.
There are many reasons why thrifting is so great: it's good for the environment, the cost is low and it gives you the ability to add one-of-a-kind pieces to your wardrobe. However, I do understand that some people are completely turned off about the whole idea. Whether it's the thought of wearing someone else's clothes, the time limitations or having to sift through all that "crap" just to find one good item, a lot of shoppers just can't get behind the idea. I understand, it can be frustrating, but I'm here to give some tips on how to thrift effectively, so maybe you can join the thrifting revolution!
1. Finding stores
- Bad is good sometimes: Pretty much any thrift store could potentially have some hidden gems. When searching for good thrift stores, don't discredit a store just because it "doesn't look nice outside." Chances are, those are some of the least expensive stores and could have some really good items for cheap.
- Avoid most "vintage" shops: A little secret those shops don't want you to know.. they got their items from the same "ugly" secondhand stores I told you about above, but when they find a good gem, they bring it to their "nice" store and jack up the price.
- There's a lot of good stores around the Tampa Bay area. Check out some of these. << (the Sunshine Thrift Store in St. Pete is really cheap and has some great items.)
2. Take risks
Chances are you've already taken a risk just by walking into the thrift store; you are willing to take on the challenge. Now all you have to do is search. This can be tricky because there are racks and racks of stuff that you have to sift through and all of that stuff is in different sizes, is wrinkled and has that thrift store smell. That's why you have to take a few risks.. grab something that you are not so sure of, try a pattern that's different from anything you already have, think about the different ways that item could be styled and don't be afraid to buy something for $4 that you might not ever wear. After you wash and hang that $4 shirt in your closet, you will start to think about the item in a new light.
3. Search for one item at a time
Thrifting can seem really overwhelming; you walk in to a huge store and all you see is rack after rack. I used to feel like this when I started thrifting, but now I think about it as an adventure. If you're just getting started and don't know where to begin, a good tip is pick one item to search for – look for just skirts, or belts, etc- and focus only on that one item. This way you don't feel as though you can't look at everything. This process slows you down and allows you to give everything you see a fair chance.
Another tip is to go back to the same store every few days because they are always getting in new items.
4. DIY or a Tailor
- DIY: If you find an item that's almost just right, but not perfect, DIY it or take it to a tailor. I recently DIYed a pair of acid-wash denim pants that I found for $3.50. I put some holes in the knees and around the pockets and transformed an OK pair of jeans to a great pair of jeans.
- Tailor: I found a great leather skirt for $5, but it had a hole at the zipper's seam. I took it to a tailor and she fixed it for $5. (See the skirt above.) Any items you find can be easily spruced up, all you have to do is find them!!
Hopefully, some of these tips will help you out next time you're out thrifting! Happy thrifting!

Preston voters reject borrowing to continue Norwich Hospital cleanup
Preston — Voters rejected a proposed $8 million loan package to continue cleanup of the former Norwich Hospital property Tuesday, 319 to 261, effectively turning down a $4 million low cost state loan and a nearly $1 million federal grant that would have paid for the demolishion of nearly all the remaining buildings on the main campus.
Only 15.5 percent of voters cast ballots Tuesday.
Town officials who favored the project said they were surprised and disappointed, and attributed the 58-vote defeat to a late campaign against the project by four members of the Board of Finance.
First Selectman Robert Congdon anticipated that complaints will be made to the state Freedom of Information Commission and the state Elections Enforcement Commission alleging that the four held illegal meetings to plan the campaign and then distributed fliers urging residents to reject the package.
Longtime finance board Chairman Robert Maurice resigned abruptly Tuesday, citing frustration over the negative campaign by members Jerry Grabarek, Norman Gauthier, Ken Zachem and Andrew Bilodeau.
With the referendum defeat, Congdon said, all efforts to clean and develop the former hospital property will be "severely hampered," including the momentum the Preston Redevelopment Agency has built over the past three years in obtaining state and federal grants, the town's credibility in obtaining future grants and loans, and the effort to attract a developer.
With the rejection of the bonding deal, the town lost a $964,000 federal grant that needed the local matching loan.
"The voters have basically said 'put a fence around it,'" Congdon said.
But closing down cleanup operations still would leave the town with an estimated $165,000-per-year cost to secure and maintain the property, not including the cost of a security fence, estimated at $460,000. The current fence was erected by demolition contractor Manafort Bros.
"I hope the Board of Finance is satisfied," Congdon said.
Gauthier, who had distributed fliers and campaigned against the loan package, said it was the voters' choice.
"The Board of Finance turned the decision over to the voters," he said.
Preston Redevelopment Agency Chairman Sean Nugent said he was especially disappointed that few residents attended several public informational meetings the agency held to explain the loan package and the town meeting to discuss the package before the referendum. Instead, Nugent said, they received the negative information distributed by the opponents.
The agency will meet at 7 tonight at Town Hall to discuss "the path forward," Nugent said.
Over the past three years, the redevelopment agency has received $4 million in state and federal grants, and the town added $300,000 in matching funds. That money, nearly spent, has been used to clean and demolish 22 of the 58 buildings and portions of the extensive tunnel network that criss-crosses the 190-acre campus.
Most of those grants came in small $200,000 increments that took care of relatively small buildings — 38 percent of the buildings but 17 percent of the total square footage.
The loan package would have tackled the largest remaining buildings, including the Kettle and Lodge buildings that face Route 12. The cost to clean asbestos, lead paint and perhaps PCBs from the Kettle Building alone has been estimated at $2 million.

Black or White Eyeliner? What's the difference?
Black Vs White
So my favourite piece of makeup is eyeliner as it always adds that pop to any look. However should you ditch your black liner? Today I am going to show the difference white and black liner can make to your whole look.
Black eyeliner has been in fashion since ancient times, just look at the Egyptians for example. I'd be tempted to say it's one of the oldest trends alive! However for some black liner isn't always the best choice. Did you know it can actually make your eye bags more prominent?
So I tried the same look (changing my lipstick don't judge a girl) with both black and white liner so we can visibly see the difference. Starting with the black liner.
Now I love this look with the nude and brown eyeshadow. The winged eyeliner and the smudged black look underneath is my go to smokey look. However if we have a look at this with the white eyeliner.
You can see that my eye look immediately brighter. The black also highlights the black bags under my eyes more than the white. It's actually hard to believe it can make such a difference but it can. This is also the best choice for photography make up. For the exact reason that it helps with brightening the eye area which can become darker in photo's.
What's your go to eyeliner? I am known to where coloured liner aswell so maybe one of those looks next. They'll be great for summer and festival season that will be upon very soon.
Lots of Love,

Flexible packaging firm fined after laminating accident
Gary Dean of Redstock Road, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, had the skin on the palm of his left hand torn away in the incident at Frith's Flexible Packaging, in Southend, on 26 September 2011. The firm makes printed aluminium foil products for confectionery and dairy markets.
Southend Magistrates' Court heard that Dean was using a glue laminating machine when he noticed an indent mark on a finished product.
Unguarded portal
He put his left hand into the machine via an unguarded portal to scrape away dried glue residue from a roller that had caused the blemish. But his whole hand was drawn into the roller and the palm of his left hand was de-gloved.
Dean was hospitalised for two days and required emergency surgery. This was followed by several months of physiotherapy to regain movement between his thumb and first finger, before he finally returned to work after two and a half months.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigated the incident and found that Dean had removed an interlocked guard on the laminating machine some six years earlier to allow him to set the machine up more easily.
Dangerous moving parts
"He and other employees, including his supervisor, had used the machine without the guard ever since," said the HSE. "Had the guard been in place they would have been unable to access dangerous moving parts, including the roller, while the machine was in operation."
HSE inspectors also found that although a risk assessment and a safe system of work were available for the laminator they were very basic.
They did not adequately set out the control measures or troubleshooting guidance; and staff were largely unaware they existed, the inspectors concluded.
Improvement notice
Frith's Flexible Packaging was served an Improvement Notice by HSE to review their training plan, incorporating revised risk assessments and a safe system of work.
Follow-up enquiries revealed that a second laminating machine at the site had also had its guard removed, and that the company had failed to address this issue following Dean's incident.
HSE therefore served another Improvement Notice for guarding requirements and a third requiring 'competent person' training to enable the company to properly manage its health and safety responsibilities.
Frith's Flexible Packaging Ltd, of Coopers Way, Temple Farm Industrial Estate, Southend-on-Sea, was fined £8,000 and ordered to pay £2,046 in costs after pleading guilty to breaching Section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.

CEC Policy Manual, 1997
Section Three, Professional Policies, Part 1 Chapter 4
Responsibility Defined
Responsibility for administering special education programs should be clearly defined so that accountability for service effectiveness can be maintained.
In the administration of the special education system, it must be clarified (a) who is to be responsible for various functions and decisions and (b) what procedures can be developed to provide adequate protection of the individual child's rights. When services essential to the improvement of a child's condition are rendered under several administrative auspices, as is so often the case with children and youth with exceptionalities, which agent or agency is to be responsible for providing which aspects of treatment needs to be clearly defined at every level to produce the most effective outcomes for the child.
The major functions commonly assigned to administrators of special education programs include the following:
a.Establishing and maintaining effective ways of identifying children with special education needs.
b.Assessing the special needs of children to determine what kinds of special programs and services should be provided for them.
c.Planning and organizing an appropriate variety of interventions or program alternatives for children with exceptionalities.
d.Marshalling the resources needed to conduct a comprehensive program of special education.
e.Using direction, coordination, and consultation as required to guide the efforts of all those who are engaged in the special education enterprise.
f.Conducting evaluation and research activities to reflect new emphases and to incorporate new knowledge and constantly improve special instruction and the quality of special services.
g.Involving community representatives in planning programs to ensure their understanding and support.
h.Conducting programs for staff development, such as inservice or continuing education.
The Council urges state/provincial and local education agencies to develop administrative structures on a policy-making level and to staff such programs with professionally qualified personnel who can provide dynamic leadership. Creative leadership at all levels of government is imperative for the development and improvement of programs for children and youth with exceptionalities. For this reason, The Council supports efforts to improve the quality of leadership and administrative operations in all phases of educational endeavor.
Administrative Hierarchy
Every school system should contain a visible central administrative unit for special education programs and services which is at the same administrative hierarchical level as other major instructional program units.
The parameters of regular and special education should be articulated so that children may be afforded equal educational opportunity through the resources of either or both instructional programs.
Such articulation should be achieved through sensitive negotiations between the responsible agents of both regular and special education who meet in full parity. To protect the rights of all children to equal educational opportunity, the policy-making bodies of school systems should include administrators of both regular and special education.
Programs to meet the needs of children with exceptionalities are no less important than those designed to meet the needs of other children. The importance of programs to meet human needs should not be judged on the basis of the number of clients the programs are expected to serve.
Special Education and School Budgets
Success of all education programs is dependent on the provision of adequate funding. This is essentially true of programs for children and youth with exceptionalities. Often funding for such programs becomes buried in general budgeting procedures. In such cases, children and youth with exceptionalities do not have the opportunity to have their needs directly considered by the decision-making bodies of government. Therefore, The Council urges that efforts be undertaken to assure that budgetary provisions for children and youth with exceptionalities be clearly identified. The Council opposes general funding procedures that would circumvent direct aid to programs for children and youth with exceptionalities.
Since children with exceptionalities have the same rights to education as other children, the educational needs of children with exceptionalities cannot be delayed until the needs and service demands of the majority of children have been satisfied. Educational resources are always likely to be finite. The application of the principle of "the greatest good for the greatest number" to determine which children's needs shall be met first directly contradicts our democratic society's declared commitment to equal educational opportunity for all children. History confirms that the social injustices and ill effects that flow from the application of the majority-first principle to educational budgeting are too serious for this principle to be used in educational financing.
Children with exceptionalities constitute a minority of the school population. The programs serving them represent a comparatively high financial investment in relation to the numbers of children served. In some school systems, money allocated to special education is regarded as an alternative to the improvement of regular school programs. The climate of competitive interests thus produced can jeopardize the stability of special education services.
The interests of the community are ill served if competition for funds is conducted on the basis of special interests. What is needed, rather, is the cooperation of both regular and special educators to educate the public in the desirability of meeting the needs of all children without discrimination or favoritism.
There is every reason to believe that the public interest is best protected when the responsibility for the deployment of public resources is placed in the hands of persons who are qualified by training and experience to make the necessary judgments. Thus, special education should play an active role in determining how resources are to be allocated. However, the community has the ultimate responsibility to determine goals and to evaluate performance.
Resources should be allocated to special education on the basis of programs to be provided, not on the basis of traditional categorical incidence estimates.
The mandate to provide all children with equal educational opportunities requires that all educators, whether regular or special, be equally concerned with the funding of both regular and special education programs. No school system can fulfill the mandate if rivalries for dollars are permitted to supersede the needs of children.
The Council for Exceptional Children.

• autotomy •
aw-tah-dê-mi • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, mass (no plural)
Meaning: Self-amputation, the dropping of an appendage when under attack, as the gecko drops his tail if it is caught and cannot free itself.
Notes: This Good Word has a considerable family, including an adjective, autotomous, and an adverb, autotomously. There is also a verb autotomize "to cast off an appendage to escape". Crabs autotomize their claws along a fracture line that immediately closes, minimizing blood loss and trauma. A new claw then grows in the same spot (regeneration).
In Play: The world has waited far too long for this word to be put to metaphorical use: "The new university president told those department heads clamoring for more autonomy that those with low enrollments are more likely to face autotomy." Immediately, we have an improvement on a tired, old cliché: "I would autotomize my right arm for a Steinway piano!"
Word History: Today's good word comes to us from Greek, a combination of auto- "self, own" + tome "cutting", the latter from temnein "to cut". Auto- appears in so many English words it may seem an English prefix: automobile, the self-mover, autobiography, a biography written by oneself, autograph, one's own signature. The root *tom-/*tem- is not so obvious outside medicine, where we find appendectomy "cutting out the appendix", tonsillectomy "cutting out the tonsils", and many others.

DeSoto Square Mall promised a renewal
Justine Griffin/Sarasota Herald-Tribune
The future of Manatee County's only enclosed shopping mall may be brighter, now that a company that specializes in turning around ailing centers has bought the retail hub.
But Mason Asset Management, the new owner of DeSoto Square Mall, could have a tough slog to turn around both the property and the perceptions surrounding it.
Here is what is going on at the mall that hosts Macy's, JC Penney, Sears, Bath & Body Works, Desoto Dollar Movies, Victoria's Secret, Foot Locker, PacSun, Journey's and Aeropostale, among others:
The history
Opened in 1973, the 678,377-square-foot mall has long been considered a tired and deflated retail center — even by many who shop there regularly. In addition to a history of theft and other crime, the mall has struggled to retain some quality tenants, prompting shoppers to turn elsewhere in the region.
The sale
Mason, a company based in Great Neck, N.Y., bought the mall for a big discount at $24.6 million. The seller was Simon Property Group, the nation's largest mall operator, which let its $62 million loan on the mall fall into foreclosure earlier this year, records show.
The turnaround
Mason has a track record of turning struggling centers into prosperous ones, though DeSoto Square will be its first foray into Florida.
"They got the property at a great price and have some room now to entice new retailers with lower rents because of that," said Barry Seidel, the president of American Property Group of Sarasota Inc., a commercial real estate brokerage firm that specializes in retail properties.
"DeSoto is the type of neighborhood Mason already seems to play in, and the condition doesn't seem to scare them."
A revamp, but few details
Already, Mason has signalled that DeSoto will be revamped — with quality-oriented tenants that will appeal to Bradenton's more working-class demographic.
Elliot Nassim, Mason's president, said his company will retain existing mall management and honor leases signed by the former owner. Remaining vacancies could start to be filled as early as the end of this year.
"The mall is almost full already," Nassim said. "We're just upgrading what's already there and will work hard to make it a success."
Other challenges
Even if it focuses on value, a refurbished DeSoto Square — anchored by Macy's, J.C. Penny and Sears stores — still will face heightened competition from University Town Center, a $315 million project scheduled to open just 12 miles away in late 2014.
The 1 million-square-foot center being developed at Interstate 75 and University Parkway by a joint venture between Taubman Centers Inc. and Benderson Development Co. is expected to draw more shoppers from older properties like DeSoto.
Where DeSoto could differentiate itself is in its tenant mix. University Town Center will be anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy's and Dillard's department stores.
Some analysts believe DeSoto Square will have to change drastically in order to stay competitive — or alive — at a time when older enclosed malls nationwide are closing or radically rebranding themselves as lifestyle centers, office headquarters and even mega-churches.
"With the Sarasota-Bradenton market becoming that much more competitive with the new Taubman project, DeSoto Square may have no other option but to become more of a hybrid mall and big box center," said Jeff Green, a retail analyst with Phoenix-based Jeff Green Partners.
"That said, there is a significant retail potential for a value center in the area."
Discount plan?
At least one idea that seems to have gained traction involves converting DeSoto Square into a more discount-oriented retail center.
"The Bradenton area has its own demographic around that mall," Seidel said. "There are people there that won't be lured by the bigger malls and would rather go to a discount center closer to their home."
Hybrid centers have become more popular in recent years as many malls grappled with downturn-inspired vacancies and few expanding retail ventures.
In this region, at Westfield's Sarasota Square Mall, Costo Warehouse Corp. replaced a shuttered Dillard's department store that had closed during the Great Recession. The August debut of the wholesale food, electronics and home goods store inside an enclosed mall was well received, and has since breathed new life into what was eroding into a second-tier mall.
The big risks
But there could be a risk in moving toward value-oriented merchants. Namely, DeSoto Square's premier tenant could decide to abandon the center.
Macy's, which has department stores in both DeSoto Square and Westfield's Southgate Mall, has no plans to shut any existing Southwest Florida stores, said spokeswoman Melissa Goff.
It has been a DeSoto Square tenant, under various names, since the it opened almost 40 years ago.

Hi, first off, new member, so Hi!
I was advised to visit here by a very nice gent on another forum, after posting about an issue I'm having with availability of modular cables for an Antec Neo Eco 620W Modular Power Supply.
This PSU is semi modular, the idea being that it comes with enough cables and connectors to run a simple system, and as the system grows, modular cables can be added at a later date.
The PSU is sold exclusively through Scan, but they are unable to source the cable set for this unit themselves, so, I go to the Antec EU/UK web pages hoping to find a link to where the extra leads can be obtained, and nothing! Individual cables can be purchased, but none of the cables shown as either available, or out of stock are listed as suitable for this PSU.
Oddly, I used the search bar on Antecs own site to try and find a little more info on the model and cables, but it does'nt even show up in their product list!
So, I decided to go looking on the interweb for answers, and found quite a few postings in other forums, from people in the same boat as me, and saw that Antec had quite a broad range of solutions for the problem, ranging from sending out a complete set of cables to one customer, at Antecs own expense, to one poor guy having over 90 emails and correspondances more or less ignored, with still no resolution to the problem in hand!!
Very long story, abruptly curtailed, what on Earth do I do now that I need another PCI-E cable to go Crossfire??
Do I chase Antec, in the hope that I can get some sort of resolution from them...do I try to find the pin out pattern of the PCI-E cable socket and try to find another manufacturers cable that shares the same pin out, or even have a go at trying to mod an existing cable to match the pin out on this PSU??
....and I cannot use a molex to PCI-E adapter, because I've already used all the existing connections on the power supply!
Any suggestions??

Shown in the Anime?
When he fought with Sasuke, he used that red chakra arm. Is it the same arm and isn't the anime the first one to show the jutsu?--Donatelo (talk) 14:35, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
- I think so, but it wasn't named in the anime. He also used a similar technique when he fought Orochimaru in part II, though it seemed to me like he could do this generally with any part of his body, so it could just be because that form is like pure chakra, it may be just shape manipulation. Simant (talk) 00:27, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
- I have to ask, WHY this was made as this information is basically on the Naruto Jinchuriki Transformations page. --Juubi no Ryuu (talk) 23:59, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
Killer Bee
bee has shown the ability of creating chakra arms as well. While they look different, that's surely because of him being the Eight Tails host instead of the Kyubi's. Shouldn't we had this to him and to the Ox as well?Nawirama13 (talk) 20:04, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
- I don't remember Bee creating arms. I remember him creating horns as part of Lariat, but that's it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:06, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
- geez you're right...sorry about that, it was a partial transformation when he threw guy. But I guess what you said is enough since he extends the chakra from his cloak like Naruto doesNawirama13 (talk) 20:20, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Maybe you thought of the tentacles Bee used to arrange to blocks before he told Naruto to do the same. It's like a partial transformation. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:38, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

what episode did Bee use tentacles to arrange to blocks before he told Naruto to do the same. It's like a partial transformation.—This unsigned comment was made by DATONENINJAFROMBEFORE (talk • contribs) .
Didn't Gaara also use this technique on Deidara?—This unsigned comment was made by Icanhelp500 (talk • contribs) .
- His arms are made out of sand. In order to have the chakra arms I think you need to be able to access the chakra cloak which Gaara wasn't able to do having only one tail and all.--Cerez365™ 12:31, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
Only Han had his hands on the ground and all arms looked the same meaning that they belonged to one person and since everybody s chakra arms look different Killer Bees,Narutos,Gaara and Han i believe we should add the other Jin later when they are actually shown using them because nowhere was mentioned all tailed beasts have chakra arms like the Biju Dama--—This unsigned comment was made by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs) .
- That's your interpretation. Others may be thinking differently so you can weigh in there.--Cerez365™ 18:06, December 26, 2011 (UTC)
Users: Jinchūriki only?
Shouldn't we put as users only the Jinchūrikis? The tailed beasts can't use these chakra arms since they're made of flesh in their full form.--JOA20 (talk) 20:36, December 4, 2012 (UTC)
The reason we list Bijū as users is because they can control the chakra arms independently from the Jinchūriki's will.18.104.22.168 (talk) 20:48, December 4, 2012 (UTC) Yhwach
It has arms for tails and they're not chakra...--OmegaRasengan (talk) 21:41, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
Tailed Beast Chakra Horns
According to this article, it's stated that Killer Bee can use this technique, but instead of chakra arms, he creates chakra horns instead.
Couldn't we just simply make an article of Killer Bee using this move and call it Tailed Beast Chakra Horns?
Cause in my opinion, labeling him as a user of the chakra arms when he creates chakra horns instead makes no sense and would kinda draw confusion to those reading his article.--Itachi7000 (talk) 18:02, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
Use your imagination, chakra arms is official name unless I'm mistaken, tho some time ago I said that a less specific term should be used--Elveonora (talk) 18:17, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
What chapter was it stated that this was called chakra arms anyway?--Itachi7000 (talk) 18:46, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
Name of this technique is a generic descriptive name. Horns are something unique to Bee just like fox ears are unique to Naruto. Not a different technique. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:18, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
So, can we add the TT now? Seelentau 愛議 14:13, July 9, 2013 (UTC)
Flame-like chakra arms
I'm sorry if I couldn't write it better, but amongst all users, only Naruto and Obito's versions are composed by flame-like chakra instead of Version 1/acidic bubbles chakra. Do you think we should put it in the trivia?--JOA20 (talk) 21:41, July 16, 2013 (UTC)
- Definitely, not sure why Cerez removed that--Elveonora (talk) 22:53, July 16, 2013 (UTC)
- Probably because I wrote it in a horrible English ^_^ --JOA20 (talk) 06:18, July 17, 2013 (UTC)
when in the anime only does Utakata/Saiken use chakra arms?--RexGodwin (talk) 04:34, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
- Episode #324. http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a553/anaspet06/Shakhmootssign_zps2a261e68.png(Contact) 12:23, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
I've seen that episode many times (one of my favorites), and he doesn't use them....--RexGodwin (talk) 17:45, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
Kaguya Using Tailed Beast Chakra Arms
if I am not mistaken kaguya used the Tailed Beast Chakra Arms in the recent chapter against Naruto Fanking (talk) 19:20, June 11, 2014 (UTC)
- Not sure about that since those fists don't look like the ordinary tailed beast chakra arms. Either they're a sort of Hyūga taijutsu or like Elephant Evening with hands version. —Shakhmoot (Talk) 19:29, June 11, 2014 (UTC)
The fist under her has a circle and flame like pattern just like Naruto's(Kuroiraikou (talk) 13:34, June 20, 2014 (UTC))
Bump(Kuroiraikou (talk) 14:38, June 27, 2014 (UTC))
- If people are so sure that what she did were chakra arms, then just list her--Elveonora (talk) 15:27, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
In episode 468, Asura used the technique against Indra, so should the Tailed Beast part of the name be dropped to accommodate his usage? --Sarutobii2 (talk) 02:25, January 6, 2018 (UTC)
- Those arms weren't made of tailed beast chakra though. They were plain blue chakra. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 08:54, January 6, 2018 (UTC)
- Tailed beast chakra was never said to be a prerequisite for creating chakra arms. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 00:11, January 7, 2018 (UTC)
- The whole article is written around the thing only jinchuriki were shown doing with their jinchuriki abilities in canon. It doesn't help that Asura's use is anime-only, and from an arc that disregarded a lot of canon. I'd sooner mention Asura in a trivia section, mentioning he did something similar. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:44, January 7, 2018 (UTC)
- Tailed beast chakra was never said to be a prerequisite for creating chakra arms. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 00:11, January 7, 2018 (UTC)

Auction list sales are final. Updated information on properties that remain in the sale is available at the Tax Collector's office.
Vacant ("unimproved") land (which accounts for most property offered at our tax sales) usually has no address and therefore its approximate geographic location can be determined through the use of County Assessor plat maps. Exact boundary lines of a property can be determined only by a survey of the property initiated at the purchaser's expense. "Improved" properties frequently (but not always) will bear a "situs" (street) address, making it quite simple to assess the location. A "situs" (street) address does not mean there are improvements on the property or that the improvements are included in the sale.
No. The tax sale will be conducted online. However, off-line bidding is available through Bid4Assets website.
The burden is on the purchaser to thoroughly research, before the sale, any matters relevant to his or her decision to purchase, rather than on the county, whose sole interest is the recovery of back taxes.
It is also recommended that bidders consult with the zoning and planning departments of any city within which a particular parcel lies.
Purchasers of property at the tax sale must also pay a Documentary Transfer Tax on the amount of the bid. The tax is based on the rate of $.55 for each $500 or fractional part of each $500 when the bid exceeds $100.
Purchasers of property within the city of Richmond must also pay a City Transfer Tax in addition to the Documentary Transfer Tax. The rate for this city tax is $7 per $1,000 of the purchase price.
(a) Any lien for installments of taxes and special assessments, which installments will become payable upon the secured roll after the time of sale.
(b) The lien for taxes or assessments or other rights of any taxing agency which does not consent to the sale under this chapter.
(c) Liens for special assessments levied upon the property conveyed which were, at the time of the sale under this chapter, not included in the amount necessary to redeem the tax-defaulted property, and, where a taxing agency which collects its own taxes has consented to the sale under this chapter, not included in the amount required to redeem from sale to the taxing agency.
(d) Easements constituting servitude upon or burdens to the property; water rights, the record title to which is held separately from the title to the property; and restrictions of record.
(e) Unaccepted, recorded, irrevocable offers of dedication of the property to the public or a public entity for a public purpose, and recorded options of any taxing agency to purchase the property or any interest therein for a public purpose.
(f) Unpaid assessments under the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Division 10 [commencing with Section 8500] of the Streets and Highways Code) which are not satisfied as a result of the sale proceeds being applied pursuant to Chapter 1.3 (commencing with Section 4671) Part 8.
(g) Any federal Internal Revenue Service liens which, pursuant to provisions of federal law, are not discharged by the sale, even though the tax collector has provided proper notice to the Internal Revenue Service before that date."
(h) Unpaid special taxes under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Chapter 2.5 [commencing with Section 53311] of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code) that are not satisfied as a result of the sale proceeds being applied pursuant to Chapter 1.3 (commencing with Section 4671) of Part 8."
Note: A title search initiated at the prospective purchaser(s)' expense should reveal any liens or encumbrances on a property in the tax sale.
The County assumes no liability for any other possible liens, encumbrances or easements, recorded or not recorded. When property is sold at tax sale on which the IRS holds a tax lien, the United States has the right of redemption for 120 days from the date of such sale (26 USC Sec. 3712(g) and 7425(d)). The IRS will pay the actual amount paid for the property by the bidder, plus interest at 6% per annum from the date of sale, plus the expenses of sale that exceed any income received from the property.

Saturday's weather
December 7, 2012
Get ready to bundle up. It's going to get cold in Greeley over the next two days. Today, temperatures won't be too bad. Highs in Greeley will be in the low to mid 40s with clouds increasing throughout the day.
Saturday night, some snow will slide in from the north, bringing some much-needed moisture to Weld County. The snow will continue overnight and into Sunday. It won't last long, but in the end we could see about 1-3 inches.
The bigger story may be the cold air that will take over. Highs on Sunday won't get out of the 20s. And overnight lows will drop into the single digits early next week.
Starting Tuesday, the Greeley area will warm back into the 40s.

Finished Cable Twist Socks!
by exercisebeforeknitting
Thanks to all of you who commented about my Kitchener woes. I think I've figured it out. Enfin! I had hoped to get my second sock done on Sunday but we had a long weekend after a certain baby got her first round of vaccinations. *sigh* Check out the second toe (on left) :
No horns! I tried the Pink Lemon Twist tutorial but I could not figure it out. I'm not really content with simply tacking those corners down when I weave in my ends as a solution to the problem. So, in the end, the horn-free toe was achieved by following Theresa's advice about only going through the first and last stitches once. I'm quite happy with it although I have no intention of going back to re-graft the first sock. I can live with a slight imperfection!
As for the rest of the sock, look how nicely the pattern comes out. I'm totally in love with it. I used an eye of partridge heel instead of the one suggested in the pattern because I prefer the lattice look.
And now for the action shots… You can't knit socks without trying them on in shoes, can you?
Hey, there's nothing as cool as white socks and black shoes, right? Just kidding – these shoes were closest at hand when I was taking pictures.
In other knitting news, I'm trying out Norwegian Purl with Continental knitting. With NP, the yarn is held in back. This allegedly makes ribbing fly by. I'm intrigued. Do any of you knit and purl this way? Do you have any strong opinions about it? This will be a long term project for me because I'm so impatient and often switch back to English purl because it's easier and faster right now. My goal is to get good enough at the Norwegian purl to abandon my old method.
Finally, I have a Secret Pal update – check out the fuzzy baby yarn and pattern from my Secret Pal! I'll be returning to baby knitting soon – as soon as I get this sock knitting out of my system!
