GP Week : Issue 3
17 WRC news >> FORD goes to Argentina with two spanking new cars for the BP Abu Dhabi team, but Subaru World Rally Team are using the same cars they had in Mexico. If they are competing in the same championship, isn't that a little odd? Yes, but it is the rules themselves which are the most odd of all... The FIA's world championship rules allow every registered Manufacturer Championship entry to build 10 new chassis every year, which means the two registered entries must use only these 10 cars – and that includes testing. What happens if too many cars are destroyed? An extra chassis can be used in these cases but there is a five-minute penalty the first time it appears. When planning its next event, can a team use whichever chassis it wants? No, because the team must consider the five pairs of rallies in which the FIA order that the same engine and chassis pairing must be used. The FIA's rules also state that each registered entry must not use more than five different engines per driver per season. The teams themselves must declare in advance which engines will be used on which events – bearing in mind the FIA's stipulation that in five of the rallies, the same chassis and engine must be 'linked' together. What happens if an engine blows up? Too bad. The remaining engines have to be used more often. If a car has to retire from a rally for whatever reason, the engine can be changed before the next event without penalty. So, the pre-event Loeb crisis in Mexico was not about changing the engine after a failure in Sweden; it was about avoiding a penalty for changing the replacement engine for a third engine between scrutineering in Mexico and the start in Mexico. There was confusion (surprising?) about the rules, and when the replacement was found to be capable of straightforward repair, it was put back in the chassis and the Stewards agreed to waive the question of the penalty. Getting complicated? Things go deeper. Other components of the car are also restricted in their use – pieces such as transmission units, subframes, steering racks and so on. And what happens when a manufacturer changes the design of the car in mid season, like Subaru expects to do when their S14 model comes on stream? The teams have to adjust their scheduling accordingly – should they use two sets of components in the first half and three in the second half of the season? Subaru felt safer in running their older cars longer in the first half of the year. Which, basically, is why Ford will run new cars in Argentina and Subaru will not. Complex … Which Car This Weekend? STARTING from this weekend's Rally Argentina, the French team Citroen Sport WRC cars will carry Red Bull signage – despite the fact that Red Bull drinks have been banned from sale in France for the past four years. French medical officials claim that Red Bull contains excessive quantities of caffeine and other stimulants and are fearful of its long terms medical effects on the human body. Red Bull entered rallying when they organised a Find- a-Driver competition in 2004 in German speaking countries for which some 300 applicants were assessed, and finally the Austrian Andreas Aigner was chosen. The company arrived in world level rallying when the Austrian preparation company BRR took over the running of the Skoda World Rally Car team in 2006, with Aigner as oneof the drivers. When that programme ended, the team contested the PCWRC series with a Mitsubishi driven by Aigner in 2007 and continues this year with a two car team for Aigner and Fernando Sousa from the Madeira islands. Meanwhile Olivier Quesnel, Director of Citroen Sport, is reported to have confirmed that the C3 model is to be the base for the company's future Super 2000 project. It is to be developed out of the company's new model C3 which will be announced later in the year. For more, see Opinion, page 29 WRC: Citroen Sport to debut in Red Bull colours

Research Interests
Research InterestsMacPhee's leading interests are paleobiogeography, extinction, and cranial developmental cranial morphology. With regard to paleobiogeography, he has worked on questions related to the mammalian and general vertebrate diversity of the West Indies, Madagascar, and, most recently, Antarctica, across time intervals from late Mesozoic to late Neogene. MacPhee also studies recent mammalian extinctions, concentrating on the loss of megafaunal species during the end-Pleistocene in North America and northern Asia. His research and that of his colleagues seeks to clarify the causal patterns behind these losses, most recently by studying population dynamics of fossil species using ancient DNA methods. The purpose of cranial developmental morphology is to explore the ontogenetic background of various character states expressed in adult forms. Most of his work involves interpretation of late fetal and adult stages of placentals, with increasing emphasis on micro-CT scanning as an aid to visualization.

Benefits of using a Pressure Washer
Pressure washers use compressed water to create a powerful stream that can be used to remove dirt, grime, fungus, algae, etc. from difficult outdoor surfaces. Pressure washers have the ability to get into cracks and crevices that otherwise may be impossible to get into. Because it is just water, the stream created by a pressure washer is environmentally safe. The extreme pressure created by the pump lets the water do all the work, while the user merely needs to point the water at the surface that needs cleaning. Difficult outdoor surfaces can be cleaned with the assistance of sand blasters or cleaning chemical, however both these methods have their drawbacks. Sand blasters can waste a lot of sand on a large area, and cleaning chemical can be bad for the environment. Pressure washers use only water, and are therefore less costly than these other methods. High pressure water is dangerous, so always be careful to keep the spray pointed in a safe direction, away from people and pets.
Find your nearest Pressure-Pro dealer today and see why pressure washing is the preferred method for cleaning difficult outdoor surfaces, both residential and commercial. Learn more about pressure water specs, such as PSI, GPM, & Cleaning Units.


text: Dealerships Say Gov't Regulations Cost Billions, Raise PricesTom McParland6/06/14 11:00amFiled to: regulationsdealershipsNADAstealershipsgovernmentarticles1644EditPromoteShare to KinjaGo to permalink The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) recently published a report entitled, "The Impact of Federal Regulations on Franchised Automobile Dealerships." According to the findings, dealerships across the nation spent a total of 3.2 billion to comply with government regulations. Some dealerships claim that these numerous regulations are a burden on their ability to conduct business, "We are basically being regulated to death," said Geoffrey Pohanka, chairman of the Pohanka Auto Group. Advertisement From Automotive News- "In 2012, the average dealership spent $182,754 to comply with federal mandates governing employment, business operations, vehicle financing, sales, marketing, vehicle repair and maintenance, the study said.The regulatory costs equaled about 22 percent of the average dealership's pretax profits, or about $2,400 per dealership employee. The average dealership needed to sell 106 vehicles in 2012 to recoup its regulatory compliance costs, the report concluded."So what are all these regulations that dealerships have to comply with? You can read the full report here. In summary, they run the gamut from the Americans with Disabilities Act, Clean Air and Water Acts, Fair Credit Reporting Act, and several others. Advertisement In researching this story, I found it humorous that Fox News managed to spin the report to be about terrorists-"While an applicant with a sketchy credit history can get a car loan, Department of Homeland Security regulations stipulate a car-buying terrorist must not get one. The dealership must report to DHS any potential car buyer who might fit a terrorist profile. But the regulations are not easy to interpret, a dilemma exacerbated by the fact that terrorists tend not to announce their occupation when filling out lending applications."Whether or not these government regulations are necessary or effective is another conversation. However, practically every industry has to contend with numerous regulations and thus have increased costs associated with them. Sometimes these extra costs have to be passed on to the consumer. So how much do these regulations add to the price of your car?"When considering both new and used vehicle sales, the mean cost per vehicle is $100." One hundred dollars…. or roughly .32% of the average new car transaction price of $31,252. I would be curious to see how the cost of government regulations on the dealerships compares to the consumer impact in other industries. Are these regulations really a massive burden on car dealers or are the numbers less scary than they seem? I expect a fairly contentious political debate in the comments.

I love these massagers! They give such a different massage than anything I have ever tried that going to a masseuse makes me want to take one of the Glass Caress with me so it will be as good as what we can do at home. They do not hurt our hands when giving each other a massage and when not in use they are pretty glass art items that you can keep out. I also have one at my computer desk to help with my "mouse-arm" caused by all the clicking and it is a godsend. I tried one on my friend who was helping me paint and she drove home an hour and a half later and called me to say "I still feel that massage." Delightfully exquisite, makes me feel what no other massager does.

In setting up the multi window-replacement project, one problem occurred after another. The glass in more than one window cracked and had to be replaced. The repairs to dented siding were not done well. In the end, problems were fixed, but it required multiple visits and too much time! The final results are very good.

Mistakes happen, and when it comes to owning a carpet or rug, mistakes usually mean stains. The plush softness of carpet and rugs comes with a price: the time and care required to clean them. Cleaning your carpet or rugs can require some extra work and special techniques that differ from typical hardwood or tile floors. In some cases, you may even need to hire a professional to get the best results.
DIY Cleaning
For minor stains or routine cleaning, it's possible to effectively treat a carpet or rug yourself. If a thorough vacuuming doesn't get rid of dirt in certain areas, here's how to tackle them on your own.
Stain Basics
A number of liquids can stain carpet or rug materials, including wine, coffee, nail polish, or blood, to name a few. Depending on what caused the stain, the carpet or rug's material, and how long it's been there, you may need to use different techniques or cleaning supplies to get rid of it. In general, though, keep the following ground rules in mind for stain removal:
- Apply a cleaning solvent directly on the stain, if needed, and allow it to soak in for a few seconds.
- Use a damp cloth to blot the spot. Don't scrub or apply too much pressure, as this might only further embed the stain into the carpet or rug.
- Rinse the cloth and continue blotting until the stain is removed.
Take these steps to remove a stain as soon as possible to prevent drying.
Some stains may come out with little more than water or a mild soap. More serious stains may require a solvent to make removal easier. The best solvent to use depends on what caused the stain.
-Water-soluble stains: These include berries, cola, food dye, jelly, mud, washable ink, or wet paint. Mix a solution of 1/4-teaspoon nonbleach detergent (or white vinegar) with 32 ounces of water.
-Dark water-soluble stains: Chocolate, coffee, mustard, tea, wine, and bodily fluids often stain much more readily than other water-soluble materials and need a different solvent. Use 1 tablespoon of ammonia mixed in 1 cup of water first. If this doesn't work, try combining one part chlorine bleach with five parts water. These solvents may remove color from certain fabrics like wool, so check with the manufacturer for the best cleaning method.
-Oils and waxes: This would include glue, gum, nail polish, and cigarette residue. The best way to clean each of these varies - some may need to be simply scraped off or, if possible, frozen to make it brittle and then chipped away. Most glue can be dissolved and removed using a solvent like rubbing alcohol. Nail polish may also be dissolved using rubbing alcohol or with nail polish remover containing acetone.
Why You Should Hire a Carpet Cleaner Service
Unfortunately, some stains may prove difficult to remove using household products. In any case, vacuuming and spot cleaning may not be enough to get your carpet or rug looking like new again. That's why many homeowners opt to hire a professional carpet cleaning service on a regular basis, around once every 12 to 18 months.
When it comes to heavy-duty carpet cleaning, you have many options to pick from. The two most common methods for cleaning carpets are steam cleaning and dry cleaning.
Steam Cleaning Carpets
Steam cleaning is a common method for professional carpet cleaning, but the name is somewhat misleading. Steam-cleaning services use machines that utilize hot (but not boiling) water in combination with a vacuum. The water is heated inside the machine and sometimes mixed with detergent before being sprayed directly onto the carpet. At the same time, a vacuum sucks up the water almost immediately after hitting the fabric. The hot water extracts far more dirt and stains than would be possible by hand.
Cleaning machines using hot water extraction can be purchased or rented for home use, but they aren't always as powerful as what professional cleaning services use. Improperly drying the carpet may also cause bacteria or mold growth. Professional cleaners also employ a number of other methods to pre-treat the carpet and ensure adequate drying. For these reasons, professional carpet cleaning may be preferable to do-it-yourself methods.
Dry Cleaning
Carpets or rugs can also be thoroughly cleaned using a dry-cleaning method. As the name suggests, there is much less water involved in dry cleaning, which means the carpet can be ready to use in less time. Using powerful solvents to break down dirt and stains, dry cleaning puts less physical stress on the carpet, and thus might be better in the long run. However, dry cleaning is usually more expensive than hot-water cleaning services. In addition, the chemicals used to dry clean carpets might irritate pets, people with sensitive skin, or anyone sensitive to strong odors.
What to Ask a Professional Service
Before choosing a professional carpet cleaning service, make sure you will be getting what you paid for by asking the right questions and doing your homework.
Decide Which Method to Use
Again, there are pros and cons involved in using a hot-water-based cleaning service or dry cleaning. Take into consideration not only cost, but how long the process will take from start to finish, including drying time. Also take note of the material your carpet is made from, and consult the manufacturer if possible to learn about the best ways to clean it. If you or your family is sensitive to any chemicals, be sure to keep this in mind and ask about what chemicals are used.
Research Online or in Person
You can find reviews of most professional carpet-cleaning services online, as well as information about a company's specific process, the chemicals used, and cost. It's also wise to ask friends and family members about services they've used in the past to get a recommendation. Don't always go with the service offering the lowest price, or hire a service who advertises door-to-door or over the phone, unless you have done thorough research on them.
Ask About Employees and Services Offered
Carpet cleaning services will be entering your home, potentially while you aren't there, so you want to feel comfortable with the business you trust with this responsibility. Ask if the company conducts background checks on employees, as well as if they are insured in your state. Without liability insurance, a mistake that results in damage to your home or furniture may be your responsibility to pay for.
Getting a Quote
If you've found a carpet-cleaning service you can trust, ask to get a quote. This may involve specifying exactly what services you would like performed, as well as the size of your home's carpeted area. Make sure you understand exactly what is included in a quoted price. Some businesses may charge extra to move furniture, clean stairs, or use special treatment methods. It's also common for businesses to sell customers on products and services they don't need. Don't hesitate to ask questions if any detail about the quote is unclear.
Choosing a Carpet Cleaner
If you instead want to rent or buy a carpet-cleaning machine to use yourself, you have many options to pick from.
Since heavy-duty carpet cleaning isn't a frequent activity for most homeowners, many choose to simply rent one of these machines. Of course, renting is usually much cheaper than owning a machine or hiring a service, which is the biggest advantage in this situation. But not all rental units perform equally, and some might require extra drying time or the use of special solvents that will cost more. There's also the time and effort that goes into carpet cleaning - renting a unit means you must also move furniture yourself and pay close attention to ensure you're operating the unit correctly. Making a mistake could mean damaging your carpet or the unit itself. Also, improperly drying carpet could allow harmful bacteria and mold to grow. Before renting a carpet cleaner, make sure you're up for the task at hand.
Owning Your Own
Homeowners can purchase carpet cleaners ranging from compact units to full-size industrial-strength machines. Besides price, take note of the features of a unit and compare them to what you most need from a carpet cleaner. Some models specialize in removing allergens from pet hair, while others may work better on tough stains, for example. Another key consideration: Make sure you have room for it. Some carpet cleaners can be bulky and require ample storage space.
Other features you may want to look for in a cleaning unit include:
- Attachments: Some models include special attachments that work on upholstery, stairs, bare floors, or small spaces.
- Brushes: Some units may not use a brush to agitate the carpet, while others might use a stationary one or multiple actuating brushes.
- Hose length: Bigger machines can be hard to maneuver around a room. Having a detachable hose of considerable length can make it easier to clean open spaces as well as more cramped areas.
Make the right choice in carpet cleaners by considering all the options available to you and how they fit into your needs and budget.

The Commissioner of the ICAC reports directly to the Chief Executive, and the heads of the other three agencies report to Secretary for Security.
Minor duties such as hawkers' regulation and anti-smoking are nevertheless assumed by officers of other government departments, including the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and the Housing Department. Compliance with fire safety requirements is overseen by the Fire Services Department.

Live: Best Coast, Cheerfully Yearning At Mercury Lounge
The "I wish he was my boyfriend" song at SXSW.
Best Coast Mercury Lounge Wednesday, April 7
"I feel like she could use a friend," notes a friend with bizarrely genuine concern, upon hearing that I'm bound to see Bethany Cosentino, a/k/a Best Coast, this early, bizarrely sweltering evening. Her defiantly direct surf-fuzz tales of loneliness and romantic woe are convincing, evidently. So. "This is a new song -- it's called 'Boyfriend,'" she announces, and I think, 'Oh, good for her,' and then the chorus is, "I wish he was my boyfriend." Other new songs unveiled tonight include "I Want You" and "Goodbye." I feel like she could use a friend.
Except she seems awful cheery up there, backed by a hirsute guitarist dude and Ali from the Vivian Girls on drums, shambling along, her voice initially hella wobbly but evening out somewhat as the quick 40-minute set progresses. (Paradoxically, she's strongest on the one song she sings alone: "It's really scary to do this by myself, but whatever, who gives a shit, right?") Her lyrics are equally blunt and unadorned (she likes rhyming lazy with crazy), but then again, "Want to kill you/But then I'd miss you" is fine use of nine words.
"I Want You" is the real grabber tonight, the line "I want you so much" repeated four times, Cosentino stretching out that IIIIIIII for all it's worth. And when the rambling, wayward-voiced lo-fi-ness of it all gets to you (this is basically like SST bubblegum or something), there's the cheerful spectacle of the singer herself, cheerfully fielding audience questions ("Where's Snacks?") (Snacks is her cat BTW) and telling some super-corny jokes. "Last night we played in Brooklyn and the air conditioner was broken," she tells us, noting the unseasonable weather. "It was more like Sweat Coast." Cue audience groans. She seems to be doing just fine on her own.

Say What?
Judge Rejects Georgia School Board Evolution StandATLANTA (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Thursday ordered a Georgia school district to remove stickers challenging the theory of evolution from its textbooks on the grounds that they violated the U.S. Constitution.
In a ruling issued in Atlanta, U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper said Cobb County's school board had violated the constitutional ban on the separation of church and state when it put the disclaimers on biology books in 2002.
The stickers read: "This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered."
Where in the constitution exactly does it preclude children from thinking?
If we are to teach our children to accept flawed theories without thinking critically about them aren't we indeed teaching religion?

This chapter takes you through the basics of the Tcl language syntax. Even if you are an expert programmer, it is worth taking the time to read these few pages to make sure you understand the fundamentals of Tcl. The basic mechanisms are all related to strings and string substitutions, so it is fairly easy to visualize what is going on in the interpreter. The model is a little different than some other programming languages you may already be familiar with, so it is worth making sure you understand the basic concepts.
Tcl Commands
The basic syntax for a Tcl command is:
command arg1 arg2 arg3 ...The command is either the name of a built-in command or a Tcl procedure. White space (i.e., space or tab) is used to separate the command name and its arguments, and a newline or semicolon is used to terminate a command. The arguments to a command are just strings.
Tcl has syntax for grouping, which allows multiple words in one argument, and substitution, which is used with programming variables and nested command calls. The Tcl interpreter does grouping first, then substitutions, and finally it calls the command. It is up to the command to interpret its arguments. This model is described in detail in this Chapter.
puts stdout {Hello, World!}=> Hello, World!
In this example, the command is puts, which takes two arguments: an I/O stream identifier and a string. puts writes the string to the I/O stream along with a trailing newline character. There are two points to emphasize:
The braces are syntax for the interpreter, and they get stripped off before the value is passed to the command. Braces group all characters, including newlines and nested braces, until a matching brace is found. Tcl also uses double quotes for grouping. Grouping arguments will be described in more detail later.
It is not necessary to declare Tcl variables before you use them.
The interpreter will create the variable when it is first assigned a value. The value of a variable is obtained later with the dollar-sign syntax illustrated in Example 1-2:
set var 5
=> 5
set b $var=> 5
The second set command assigns to variable b the value of variable var. The use of the dollar sign is our first example of substitution. You can imagine that the second set command gets rewritten by substituting the value of var for $var to obtain a new command.
set b 5The actual implementation is a little different, but not much.
set len [string length foobar]=> 6
In the example, the nested command is:
string length foobarThis command returns the length of the string foobar. The string command is described in detail starting on page 43. The nested command runs first. Then command substitution causes the outer command to be rewritten as if it were:
set len 6If there are several cases of command substitution within a single command, the interpreter processes them from left to right. As each right bracket is encountered, the command it delimits is evaluated. This results in a sensible ordering in which nested commands are evaluated first so their result can be used in arguments to the outer command.
The implementation of expr takes all its arguments, concatenates them into a single string, and then parses the string as a math expression. After expr computes the answer, the answer is formatted into a string and returned:
expr 7.2 / 4=> 1.8
You can include variable references and nested commands in math expressions. The following example uses expr to add 7 to the length of the string foobar. As a result of the innermost command substitution, the expr command sees 6 + 7, and len gets the value 13:
set len [expr [string length foobar] + 7]=> 13
The expression evaluator supports a number of built-in math functions. For a complete listing, see page 19. The following example computes the value of pi:
set pi [expr 2*asin(1.0)]=> 3.1415926535897931
set dollar \$foo
=> $foo
set x $dollar=> $foo
Only a single round of interpretation is done.
The second set command in the example illustrates an important property of Tcl. The value of dollar does not affect the substitution done in the assignment to x. In other words, the Tcl parser does not care about the value of a variable when it does the substitution. After the example, the value of x and dollar is the string $foo. In general, you do not have to worry about the value of variables until you use eval, which is described in Chapter 10.
You can also use backslash sequences to specify characters with their hexadecimal or octal value:
set escape \0x1b
set escape \033The value of variable escape is the ASCII ESC character, which has character code 27. The table on page 18 summarizes backslash substitutions.
A common use of backslashes is to continue long commands on multiple lines. This is necessary because a newline terminates a command unless an argument is being grouped as described in the next section. A backslash as the last character in a line is converted into a space. In addition, all the white space at the beginning of the next line is replaced by this substitution. The backslash in the next example is required; otherwise the expr command gets terminated by the newline after the plus sign.
set totalLength [expr [string length $one] + \
[string length $two]]
set s Hello
=> Hello
puts stdout "The length of $s is [string length $s]."
=> The length of Hello is 5.
puts stdout {The length of $s is [string length $s].}=> The length of $s is [string length $s].
In the second command of Example 1-9, the Tcl interpreter does variable and command substitution on the second argument to puts. In the third command, substitutions are prevented so the string is printed as-is.
In practice, grouping with curly braces is used when substitutions on the argument must be delayed until a later time (or never done at all). Examples include loops, conditional statements, and procedure declarations. Double quotes are useful in simple cases like the puts command previously shown.
puts [format "Item: %s\t%5.3f" $name $value]Here format is used to align a name and a value with a tab. The %s and %5.3f indicate how the remaining arguments to format are to be formatted. Note that the trailing \n usually found in a C printf call is not needed because puts provides one for us. For more information about the format command, see page 46.
Square Brackets Do Not Group
The square bracket syntax used for command substitution does not provide grouping. Instead, a nested command is considered part of the current group. In the command below the double quotes group the last argument, and the nested command is just part of that group.
puts stdout "The length of $s is [string length $s]."In the next example the last argument is a nested command. There is no need to explicitly group the nested command because the Tcl parser treats the whole nested command as part of the group.
puts stdout [string length $s]In general, you can place a bracketed command or variable reference anywhere. The following computes a command name:
[findCommand $x] arg arg
The following example demonstrates how nested command substitution affects grouping. A nested command is treated as an unbroken sequence of characters, regardless of its internal structure. It is included with the surrounding group of characters when collecting arguments for the main command.
set x 7; set y 9
puts stdout $x+$y=[expr $x + $y]=> 7+9=16
In the example the second argument to puts is:
$x+$y=[expr $x + $y]The white space inside the nested command is ignored for the purposes of grouping the argument. By the time Tcl encounters the left bracket, it has already done some variable substitutions to obtain:
7+9=When the left bracket is encountered, the interpreter calls itself recursively to evaluate the nested command. Again, the $x and $y are substituted before calling expr. Finally, the result of expr is substituted for everything from the left bracket to the right bracket. The puts command gets the following as its second argument:
7+9=16Grouping before substitution.
The point of this example is that the grouping decision about puts's second argument is made before the command substitution is done. Even if the result of the nested command contained spaces or other special characters, they would be ignored for the purposes of grouping the arguments to the outer command. Grouping and variable substitution interact the same as grouping and command substitution. Spaces or special characters in variable values do not affect grouping decisions because these decisions are made before the variable values are substituted.
If you want the output to look nicer in the example, with spaces around the + and =, then you can use double quotes to explicitly group the argument to puts:
puts stdout "$x + $y = [expr $x + $y]"The double quotes are used for grouping in this case to allow the variable and command substitution on the argument to puts. Note that it is never necessary to explicitly group a nested command with double quotes if it makes up the whole argument. The following is a redundant use of double quotes:
puts stdout "[expr $x + $y]"
proc name arglist bodyThe first argument is the name of the procedure being defined. The second argument is a list of parameters to the procedure. The third argument is a command body that is one or more Tcl commands.
The procedure name is case sensitive, and in fact it can contain any characters. Procedure names and variable names do not conflict with each other. As a convention, this book begins procedure names with uppercase letters and it begins variable names with lowercase letters. Good programming style is important as your Tcl scripts get larger. Tcl coding style is discussed in Chapter 12.
proc Diag {a b} {
set c [expr sqrt($a * $a + $b * $b)]
return $c
puts "The diagonal of a 3, 4 right triangle is [Diag 3 4]"=> The diagonal of a 3, 4 right triangle is 5.0
The Diag procedure defined in the example computes the length of the diagonal side of a right triangle given the lengths of the other two sides. The sqrt function is one of many math functions supported by the expr command. The variable c is local to the procedure; it is only defined during execution of Diag. Variable scope is discussed further in Chapter 7. It is not really necessary to use the variable c in this example. The procedure could also be written as:
proc Diag {a b} {
return [expr sqrt($a * $a + $b * $b)]
}The return command is used to return the result of the prodecure. The return command is optional in this example because the Tcl interpreter returns the value of the last command in the body as the value of the procedure. So, the procedure could be reduced to:
proc Diag {a b} {
expr sqrt($a * $a + $b * $b)
}Note the stylized use of curly braces in the example. The curly brace at the end of the first line starts the third argument to proc, which is the command body. In this case, the Tcl interpreter sees the opening left brace, causing it to ignore newline characters and scan the text until a matching right brace is found. Double quotes have the same property. They group characters, including newlines, until another double quote is found. The result of the grouping is that the third argument to proc is a sequence of commands. When they are evaluated later, the embedded newlines will terminate each command. The other crucial effect of the curly braces around the procedure body is to delay any substitutions in the body until the time the procedure is called. For example, the variables a, b, and c are not defined until the procedure is called, so we do not want to do variable substitution at the time Diag is defined.
The proc command supports additional features such as having variable numbers of arguments and default values for arguments. These are described in detail in Chapter 7.
A Factorial Example
To reinforce what we have learned so far, here is a longer example that uses a while loop to compute the factorial function:
proc Factorial {x} {
set i 1; set product 1
while {$i <= $x} {
set product [expr $product * $i]
incr i
return $product
Factorial 10=> 3628800
The semicolon is used on the first line to remind you that it is a command terminator just like the newline character.
The while loop is used to multiply all the numbers from one up to the value of x. The first argument to while is a boolean expression, and its second argument is a command body to execute. The while command evaluates the boolean expression, and then executes the body if the expression is true (non-zero). The while command continues to test the expression and evaluate the command body until the expression is false (zero). Other control structures are described in Chapter 6.
The same math expression evaluator used by the expr command is used by while to evaluate the boolean expression. There is no need to explicitly use the expr command in the first argument to while, even if you have a much more complex expression.
while {$i < $x} \
set product ...
}Always group expressions and command bodies with curly braces.
Curly braces around the boolean expression are crucial because they delay variable substitution until the while command implementation tests the expression. The following example is an infinite loop:
set i 1; while $i<=10 {incr i}The loop will run indefinitely. The reason is that the Tcl interpreter will substitute for $i before while is called, so while gets a constant expression 1<=10 that will always be true. You can avoid these kinds of errors by adopting a consistent coding style that groups expressions with curly braces:
set i 1; while {$i<=10} {incr i}The incr command is used to increment the value of the loop variable i. This is a handy command that saves us from the longer command:
set i [expr $i + 1]The incr command can take an additional argument, a positive or negative integer by which to change the value of the variable. Using this form it is possible to eliminate the loop variable i and just modify the parameter x. The loop body can be written like this:
while {$x > 1} {
set product [expr $product * $x]
incr x -1
set var {the value of var}
=> the value of var
set name var
=> var
set name
=> var
set $name=> the value of var
This is a somewhat tricky example. In the last command, $name gets substituted with var. Then the set command returns the value of var, which is the value of var. Nested set commands provide another way to achieve a level of indirection. The last set command above can be written as follows:
set [set name]=> the value of var
Using a variable to store the name of another variable may seem overly complex. However, there are some times when it is very useful. There is even a special command, upvar, that makes this sort of trick easier. The upvar command is described in detail on page 79 in Chapter 7.
Funny Variable Names
The Tcl interpreter makes some assumptions about variable names that make it easy to embed variable references into other strings. By default, it assumes that variable names only contain letters, digits, and the underscore. The construct $foo.o represents a concatenation of the value of foo and the literal ".o".
set foo filename
set object $foo.o
=> filename.o
set a AAA
set b abc${a}def
=> abcAAAdef
set .o yuk!
set x ${.o}y=> yuk!y
unset varName varName2 ...Any number of variable names can be passed to the unset command. However, unset will raise an error if a variable is not already defined.
if {![info exists foobar]} {
set foobar 0
} else {
incr foobar
}In Chapter 7, page 80, there is an example that implements a new version of incr, which handles this case.
More about Math Expressions
This section describes a few fine points about math in Tcl scripts. In Tcl 7.6 and earlier versions math is not that efficient because of conversions between strings and numbers. The expr command must convert its arguments from strings to numbers. It then does all its computations with double precision floating point values. The result is formatted into a string that has, by default, six significant digits. This can be changed by setting the tcl_precision variable to the number of significant digits desired. Seventeen digits of precision are enough to ensure that no information is lost when converting back and forth between a string and an IEEE double precision number:
expr 1 / 3
=> 0
expr 1 / 3.0
=> 0.333333
set tcl_precision 17
=> 17
expr 1 / 3.0
# The trailing 1 is the IEEE rounding digit=> 0.33333333333333331
In Tcl 8.0 and later versions the overhead of conversions is eliminated in most cases by the built-in compiler. The use of tcl_precision is also eliminated so values are always printed with full precision. Even so, Tcl was not designed to support math intensive applications. You may want to implement math-intensive code in a compiled language and register the function as a Tcl command as described in Chapter 41.
if {$answer == "yes"} { ... }However, the string compare command described in Chapter 4 is more reliable because expr may do conversions on strings that look like numbers. This area has improved in Tcl 8.0. The issues with string operations and expr are discussed on page 45.
set y [expr {$x + $y}]
# Here are some parameters
set rate 7.0 ;# The interest rate
set months 60 ;# The loan termOne subtle effect to watch out for is that a backslash effectively continues a comment line onto the next line of the script. In addition, a semicolon inside a comment is not significant. Only a newline terminates comments:
# Here is the start of a Tcl comment \
and some more of it; still in the commentThe behavior of a backslash in comments is pretty obscure, but it can be exploited as shown in Example 2-3 on page 25.
Substitution and Grouping Summary
The following rules summarize the fundamental mechanisms of grouping and substitution that are performed by the Tcl interpreter before it invokes a command:
if {$x > 1}{puts "x = $x"}
set silly a"b
set x xvalue
set y "foo {$x} bar"=> foo {xvalue} bar
set x [cmd1][cmd2]
set x "This is line one.
This is line two.
This is line three."
set x $

College and ADHD
Author | Message |
Posted Mar 14, 2001 at 12:00:01 AM
Subject: College and ADHD
My college age son has finally admitted that he was having serious academic problems. He did not have trouble getting admitted as his declared major of computer science probably helped. SAT scores were slightly above 1000 which is probably low for his major. He has taken his precalculus and calculus courses twice (currently) in order to get passing grades. He registers for intro English and drops it each semester after he hears the course requirements. He made C's in courses like Economics and Geology. He was inattentive in elem. and middle school (I referred him for assessment but was not IDed as disabled) but with tutoring did okay in high school, "C" student with better grades in computer classes. Was very quiet, had friends but did not socialize much outside of school. He admits that he has done more socializing in college but that is probably very good for him. He lives on campus. School does not involve parents (no grade report-confidentiality!) I am considering use of medication but worry about abuse at the college level since he would be responsible and would have to worry about theft. Any ideas? I've suggested a change in majors but that has yet to be considered by him. |

: It's unclear from your post why his possible ADHD is posing more of a problem in English than in economics and geology. What's the problem in English? ADHD when present should hit across the board unless there are other issues.If he can meet the challenges of his possible ADHD in economics, a complex class, he might be able to meet it in English. Colleges often have learning support centers and it sounds as if English is his only real issue.I was told years ago by a pediatric neurologist that the amount of amphetimine in Ritalin is miniscule and that Ritalin has little street value. Whether that's true or not, I can only say at the middle school where I teach so many kids are on Ritalin that I can't imagine why anyone would ever need to steal it. They probably have their own prescription.As to your son's possible abuse of the Ritalin or any other ADHD medication, there are probably better drugs just as available on his colege campus if someone sadly wants to go that route.My college age son has finally admitted that he was having serious |

Hello, Diane.I am a college student with ADHD, and here is my two bits' worth...Has your son been diagnosed (if not by the school, then independently)? That would be a first step. It would also not be a bad idea to make sure that other issues (learning-related, health-related, or otherwise) are not having a negative impact on his ability to succeed, but if any are, it is important to address those in addition to any ADHD-related problems, since often coexisting problems can mask or exacerbate each other.If your son enjoys computer science and is successful in that area, as it seems he is, I don't know that a change in majors would be necessary. As long as he is able to handle the prerequisites, it is nice to be able to do something that one likes and can do competently! (I'm assuming there is some math involved, although it seems he managed to get through calculus, even if with difficulty.) You may have other reasons for suggesting that he change majors, but with no extra information, that's my thinking...It is good that your son's social life has improved. It is hard to strike a balance between school, work, friends, and basic bodily needs, but friends are an important part of that, and it seems that you've provided encouragement in that regard.You mentioned that in high school, wiht tutoring, he did OK. Are tutoring services available on his campus? At a great many schools, even those without programs for students with LD/ADHD, peer tutoring and other forms of study help (study groups, review sessions, etc.) are offered to all students. If such services exist, encourage your son to take advantage of them, preferably on a regular basis (i.e. establish a routine that incorporates this). Besides reinforcing the subject matter itself, knowing that one has to meet with a tutor or exchange answers with a study group can serve as motivation and a reminder to do homework and keep up with material. If no official study groups or tutors exist, your son might still be able to form his own study group - if that is a good setting for him to learn. I don't think it would be particularly useful in computer science courses, but in other classes that lend themselves more to collaboration and less to writing code, it could be helpful.As for medication, your concerns are valid. While I have not personally seen any cases of Ritalin theft or abuse (in my dorm, caffeine pills seemed to suffice), there have been many reports of this that have gained popular attention. For people to whom it is prescribed and who use it according to the prescription and under a doctor's general supervision, abuse does not seem to be a problem. If medication is something that your son would benefit from, the best ways to prevent such problems are a) to keep it in a secure place (either a locked drawer, or perhaps in his backpack so he won't forget it and it will be with him during the day, or to keep some in different places so he won't run out, and b) not to tell anyone (other than perhaps a trusted advisor or friend or roommate, if it is appropriate) that he is taking it, and to take it discreetly...this will also allow him to avoid the stigmas sometimes associated with neurological medications.Also, if you do think it may help him, make sure that he thinks so, too! If he does have ADHD, the doctor who diagnoses him should explain the options available to him. But if he is not sold on the idea, it is less likely that he will follow through on taking it and it may be better to avoid the hassle and the concerns about theft. If the issue of medication is approached in a no-pressure way, and is one part of an overall plan, it may be more likely that he will agree to it and follow through on taking it. It is disconcerting for many people either to have the medication forced on them, or to think that they are only competent due to a pill. So, if he views it as a tool to help him focus, and learns (possibly with help from a tutor, a school support program, a counselor, or whatever) other compensatory strategies to help with things like time management, organization, prioritizing, memory, note-taking and other study skills, etc., that will make it easier for him to take it and also ensure that he is not expecting it to work miracles without learning and employing other types of strategies.Hope this helps! Good luck!Lisa in CA |

Thank you for your well stated responses. I have begun to inquire about private evaluations and found out that my health insurance does not cover testing. I suspected that that would be true. Also I do have some academic testing from Sylvan Learning Center that reported approximately grade level and age level skills at age 15 with some spotty areas of need. Not completing homework was his most frequently stated teacher concern going all the way back to 3rd grade. He is usually neat in personal appearance and takes care of his clothing and grooming well but his bedroom is a dark hole (he doesn't put items away and keeps shoving things aside). We will have a family discussion soon to decide if the evaluation will be useful and what types of questions we would like the evaluation to cover. Lazy and too laid back always come to mind when thinking of my son but I have never confronted him with these concerns outloud. We tend to provide encouragement but know that something else has to happen on his end to make an effort to improve his grades and his progress towards getting credits. His college offers a wide range and support services and I have pointed this out numerous times. But this is a student who never bought a parking permit this year (thought last years would be okay) and has gotten two tickets so far! |

Magnesia (Greek: Μαγνησία, Magnisía, IPA: [maɣniˈsia]), deriving from the tribe name Magnetes, is one of the regional units of Greece. It is part of the region of Thessaly. Its capital is the city of Volos. About 70% of the population of Magnesia live in the Greater Volos area, which is the second-largest city in Thessaly and the third busiest commercial port in Greece. According to the most recent census (2011), the population stands at 190,010. The regional unit hosts 2,000,000 tourists annually.[1] Magnesia is represented in the Greek Parliament by five seats. Its main agricultural products are wheat, cotton, tomatoes, grapes, olives, apples and honey.
A prominent geographic feature of Magnesia is the Pagasetic Gulf, a bay of the Aegean Sea. The Pelion mountain range closes off the Gulf on the east and south side, leaving only a narrow channel near Trikeri. The highest peak of the wooded Pelion is Pourianos Stavros or Xeforti, (altitude 1,624 metres or 5,328 feet). On the south edge of Magnesia peninsula Tisaio mountain is found.
Mt. Maurovouni (1,054 metres or 3,458 feet) is the northeasternmost mountain of the regional unit and extends to the neighboring regional unit of Larissa. The southwest border of Magnesia is formed by the Othrys, with its highest peak Gerakovouni (1,726 metres or 5,663 feet). The interior of Magnesia has two plains. The plains southwest of the Pagasetic Gulf arecalled Almyros plains, while the plains northwest of the Gulf are called the Volos-Velestino plain. The hydrological network of Magnesia is not particularly rich and is characterized by the absence of big rivers. The waters coming from Pelion shape the rivers Anavros, Platanorema, and Xirias.
In the North section of Magnesia, Lake Karla was formerly found. Lake Karla was drained in 1962, but attempts have been made for its partial restoration. On the bight of Sourpi, next to Amaliapolis a coastal wetland is located, with various species of migratory birds. This wetland together with the forest of Kouri - an infrequent lowland of Oak tree forest close to Almyros - is included in the list of the protected regions of the European Network Natura 2000.
The average temperature is 17 degrees Celsius and the average rainfall about 540 millimetres per year. Heat waves and intense cold periods are rare. During the summer the temperature rises up to about 37 to 38 °C (99 to 100 °F) in August. The climate varies in different parts of the prefecture; close to the Pagasetic Gulf conditions are humid, in Nea Ionia it is quite dry and in Velestino and Almyros is the climate is continental. In winter there is significant snowfall in the mountains and often freezing temperatures.
The regional unit Magnesia is subdivided into 5 municipalities. These are (number as in the map in the infobox):[2]
- Almyros (2)
- Rigas Feraios (6)
- South Pelion (Notio Pilio, 5)
- Volos (1)
- Zagora-Mouresi (4)
Magnesia was created as a prefecture. In addition to the territory of the present regional unit of Magnesia, the Magnesia Prefecture included the Northern Sporades group of islands (Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonnisos). As a part of the 2011 Kallikratis government reform, the prefecture was split into the Magnesia and Sporades regional units. At the same time, the municipalities were reorganised, according to the table below.[2]

According to Hesiod's (probably) "Eoiae" (Greek: Ηοίαι) or "Catalogue of Women"[3] on the origin of the Greeks, Pandora (named after her grandmother Pandora, sister of Hellen and daughter of Deukalion and Pyrrha) together with Zeus had one son Graecus, while Zeus had two more with Thyia, another of Deukalion's daughter: Magnes and Macedon. Magnes and Makednos together with Hellen's three sons Dorus, Xuthus (with his sons Ion and Achaeus) and Aeolos, comprised the set of progenitors of the ancient tribes that formed the Greek/Hellenic nation. Magnes ruled the area and people under his name. Magnesia is also homeland of the mythical heroes Jason, Peleus and his son Achilles.
The word magnet comes from the Greek "magnítis líthos" (μαγνήτης λίθος), which means "magnesian stone". The names for the elements magnesium and manganese are also derived from this region, which in addition to the magnetic magnetite (an iron ore), produces certain ores of magnesium and manganese that were known to alchemists. The Magnetes contributed to the Greek colonization, with their main colonies being established before the 7th century BC, under the names of Magnesia beside Sipylus in Lydia and Magnesia on the Maeander in Ionia.
Common era[edit]
Written accounts and remains from the 5th century CE document the appearance of Christianity in Magnesia. The minutes of the 3rd Ecumenical Conference are co-signed by the Bishop of Dimitriada Cleonikos. Five basilicas have been revealed in Nea Anhialos, showing that the area was undergoing a spiritual growth in that era. Magnesias has churches, monasteries and chapels, many of which are architectural masterpieces in the style that is called "Pelioritica".
In the area of Pelion are the monastery of Saint Yerasimos in Makrinitsa, The Holy Archangels in Agios Georgios Nilias, Osios Lavredios in Agios Lavrendis, Saint John the Baptist in Siki and Saint Spiridon in Promiri. The most famous is the Monastery in Flamouri, built in the 16th century by Osios Simeon, the so-called "barefoot and loin-clothed", located above Veneto.
In the Almiros area and on the mountain of Othris two other monasteries were built, one inhabited by monks in Ano Pagania (Virgin Mary) Xenia and the other by nuns in Kato Panagia Xenia. This monastery holds historical monuments of the area from the 12th century, with of frescoes, treasuries and a library. In Kato Panagia Xenia monastery, an icon of the Virgin Mary, venerated by the people of the area, is kept. All the monasteries are of archeological, historical and artistic interest and are accessible (the one in Flamouri only by men).
Archaeological sites[edit]
The prefecture was linked to the National railway (ΟΣΕ) in the late-19th century. In 1964, the GR-1 North-South superhighway was opened to traffic. The prefecture is directly linked to the rest of Europe through International Airport of Central Greece, located in Nea Anchialos, a short distance from Volos. The airport includes a terminal which can serve 1500 passengers per hour.
The prefecture's roads include:
- Greek National Road 1/E75, SW, W, NW
- Greek National Road 6, Cen., NW
- Greek National Road 30, W, Cen.
- Jason, mythical ancient hero
- Peleus, mythical ancient hero
- Saint Charalampe, (89-202) Eastern Orthodox Church Saint
- Rigas Feraios, the first Greek revolutionary and poet, national hero

- Alexandros Papadiamantis, (1851)-(1911)

Bag kites
It was a very windy day. It's not like we're not used to strong winds where we live, but this windy day I really felt like we needed to be outside flying kites. However, we didn't have any kites...well, we did but the string was tangled and I wasn't going to waste hours attempting to untangle it. So instead we tied string/wool to plastic bags.
Obviously they're not designed to get a great lift
ummm yes, this is a doggie bag :)
All the kids flying their bag kites
They came up with a plan to get more lift in the their kites :)
It was a fun afternoon activity that got them outside despite the strong winds.

Camping last day
On the last day the camp site was quiet again so instead of packing up early we decided to hang around and soak up some more sun, sea, and sand.
The beach was deserted again :)
A happy sea dance :)
Milo was getting used to the sea by the end of our camping trip
Some last boogie board action
Just us!
By the end of the camping trip Milo was exhausted!
So was Googs :)
Fast asleep!
I took this photo as we were driving home. North Wales is stunning!

Boogie boards
On the 4th day we bought the kids a boogie board. The water was a bit chilly so we only got one so that they could dry out and warm up in between goes.
The kids were very calm and relaxed. Googs just sat and watched the sea.
K, the child that struggles with cold the most, was the one who spent the most time on the boogie board!
I just loved this shot, the boys were standing on a stone :)
Riding a stone horse :)
While their big sister rides the teeny waves :)
The whole time camping no one caught any fish at all. They did scoop this dead sand shark out of the water though.
We had two full pans of mussels that evening
And more sand dune fun. Daddy buried everyone :)

A sandy day!
We went to fish in the morning
With nets
and with rods
I love this photo of my boys fishing together :)
The girls drew in the sand
And made a sand horse
life sized!
We got back to the tent where K relaxed under the trees with Milo
And then the kids went to play on the sand dunes
The back to the sea! You can JUST about see how many tiny starfish are in this little pool on the beach
Posing for grandmother photos :)
And then back to the sand dunes! They slept well the entire camping trip :) you can see why!

With their particulate filters in place, the Touaregs meet 2006 emissions standards, making them legal for sale. Now, Americans who'd lamented the loss of the 310-hp, 553 lbs-ft trailmonsters, and who can float the $67,750 sticker are in luck. Volkswagen's hoping for plenty of overlap in those two groups.
