Ah, the elusive college student—every marketer's dream. Difficult to engage with, even more difficult to identify with, but once you find an entry into the college student's world, you're practically guaranteed consistent business from an unwavering source.
In just a few short weeks, every college student will be enjoying spring break, a week of relaxation, rejuvenation and free time for shopping. How can your small business tap into this time and get noticed by college students? Check out these tips for how to market to college students during spring break.
1. Give away free stuff.
If there's anything college students love, and we mean really love, it's free stuff. Free gear, products or services draws students in and makes them inclined to buy from your business later on. This is pretty powerful, considering the college market brings in about $208 billion annually (OnCampus Advertising). Reach out to college students during their spring break by offering promotions or giveaways for them to get involved in. Once they're engaged with your business in a positive light, they'll like the products and be more excited to buy from you next time.
2. Use social media.
A 2015 Pew study found that 92% of teens and college students go online daily. The majority of these online hits are through social networking platforms, e.g. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. 77% of college students alone go on Snapchat every day. When it comes to small business marketing during spring break, this is a huge opportunity just waiting to be tapped into.
If your business wants to engage with college students, you need to be where they are: on social media. Use social platforms to promote your products, services, new sales or even just to engage with consumers and potential clients. Especially over spring break, social media can be used as a tool to market your business to younger generations.
3. Play on spring break survival.
One fun and lively way to market to college students over spring break is to promote "spring break survival." Spring break is often known as one of the biggest party seasons of the year, and your business can play off this by offering "survival gear." For example, Her Campus Media created a "Spring Break Survival Kit" which included popchips, nail polish, lip conditioner, razors, shave gel, perfume and gum. Even things as simple as these can turn into a huge hit with the right marketing spin.
4. Go non-traditional.
College students are bombarded by advertisements and sales on a consistent basis. If your small business wants to get through the hubbub and reach potential customers, you need to think out of the box with a unique, non-traditional method. Consider guerrilla marketing, word-of-mouth and especially direct social media campaigns. The more creative, the better it will spark college students' interest over spring break.
5. … But don't forget the classics.
While creativity is king, classic media can be as well. According to StudyBreaks College Media, 84% of college students surveyed redeem coupons or specials they see in magazines or newspapers; 90% have read a magazine or newspaper in the last month. Don't be afraid to test out a print ad as well in reaching out to college students, which will also prompt viewers to research online and via social media.
This spring break season, make sure your business is ready to tap into the huge potential market that is college students. Try out some of these tactics to get your business noticed and generate customer revenue. Enjoy the sun this spring break by promoting your business.

Beyond Prisons:
- Ex-Convicts' Self-Help to Break the Prison Cycle

Ex-Convicts' Self-Help to Break the Prison Cycle
Ex-cons show each other the way out at San Francisco's Delancey Street.
In early May 1995, Margie Lewis sat on a bench at the Delancey Street Foundation, a residential education center for addicts and ex-convicts in San Francisco, awaiting intake. Until that moment, her life had been defined by institutions—teenage years in the California Youth Authority and long stays in jail as an adult. Enrollment in the program was her last chance—her only alternative to the life sentence that would otherwise be mandated by the state's new "Three Strikes and You're Out" law.
Lewis was filled with optimism. At Delancey, she saw no paid professional social workers, no guards, and little bureaucracy. Instead, the place was run by dozens of people like her, who had been in and out of prison and came here to recover. "I was nervous and excited, sitting there," said Lewis. "I felt like there was a possibility things could be different this time."
In San Francisco, Delancey Street, now celebrating its 40th year, has quietly built a model program that has kept thousands of addicts and ex-offenders from landing back in prison. It isn't just a treatment program—it's an all-hands-on-deck community that recognizes that everyone, even an addict or ex-convict, has a skill to offer others. At Delancey Street, you don't just go through treatment; you are put to work helping those around you rebuild their lives.
Lewis, who had only completed her G.E.D. a few months earlier while in county jail, was tasked with teaching others how to do the same. Former addicts also help their peers kick their addictions. Recovery sessions happen in groups, led by people in recovery themselves. "You hear about yourself from people who know you," said Lewis. "They are your mirrors. Your peers understand the things in your life you have tried to forget through drug use."
Residents also learn at least three marketable job skills through Delancey's business enterprises—run by ex-offenders. They work at one of many ventures such as the on-site restaurant, the moving company, the Christmas tree sales lot, the landscape business, or the digital print shop. The enterprises supply roughly 60 percent of Delancey's funding.
Breaking the Prison Cycle
California is second only to Texas in the number of people in its prisons, according to the Pew Center on the States. The state experienced a prison construction boom after decades of laws that lengthened sentences—even for nonviolent crimes. A report by the California Legislative Analyst's Office shows that, in its first decade, Three Strikes flooded more than 80,000 new inmates into the prison system, many for petty drug possession.
At the end of most sentences is a revolving door that leads back to prison. The formerly incarcerated return to the outside with few of the resources they need to survive—no job, no place to live, and no support network. About two-thirds of those released from the California prison system return there within three years. The cost of maintaining a bloated prison system has drained the state budget. California expects to spend $9 billion on corrections in its 2011-2012 budget, and has had to wrestle with a deficit of more than $25 billion by cutting health care and social services. The human costs of a correction system that tears apart families and communities are even greater.
In contrast, Delancey started as a tiny economic investment that produces giant returns—in the form of recovered ex-addicts and ex-felons who become healthy, contributing members of a community. Delancey's founder, Mimi Silbert, grew up in a poor community on the Lower East Side of New York, the daughter of European Jews. "As the years went by, I began to see people who didn't get out of the ghetto, and who by a hair turn, ended up in prison," she said in an interview with Southern California Woman Magazine.
Silbert, who holds dual doctorates in criminology and psychology from UC-Berkeley, teamed with John Maher, a former addict from the South Bronx. In 1972, the year after President Nixon declared the "War on Drugs," the two drew from their family backgrounds, naming their project after a New York street known as the starting point for new immigrants. Delancey Street began with a thousand-dollar loan and has since charted a new path in addiction treatment—challenging drug abusers and offenders to take maximum personal responsibility within the context of a community of support and mutual aid.
Delancey Street opened its first home in the former Russian Consulate building in San Francisco. Its main headquarters is now in a four-story complex on the waterfront in the city's South Beach neighborhood, with housing and retail businesses, including a restaurant, outdoor café, and bookstore. By the mid-1990s, the organization had opened branches in Los Angeles, Calif.; San Juan Pueblo, N.M.; Greensboro, N.C.; and Brewster, N.Y. In 2007, Delancey began renovations on Norman Rockwell's historic home in Stockbridge, Mass., and now runs a treatment program there. Each branch shares the same basic model but offers training to match the local economy. In rural New Mexico, residents can learn wastewater treatment and livestock management. In Stockbridge, they can learn stagecraft and study the performing arts.
Most importantly, Delancey's residents learn, often for the first time, that they have value and can make and do things that are of value to others. And Delancey's approach to treatment confirms that compassion and respect can be more fiscally sound than the dehumanization and punishment that happens in the prison system.
Delancey Street's success has turned heads and won respect from experts and leaders all over the world. Former President Bill Clinton sent his drug czar to San Francisco to consult with Silbert. Its board of governors includes influentials such as former Secretary of State George Shultz and Senator Diane Feinstein. Delancey has trained people in 450 cities in 48 states and 25 countries and is helping groups in South Africa and Singapore launch similar treatment programs. It has worked with the California Department of Corrections on policy changes to help keep parolees out of prison and in community service programs and helped San Francisco write a master plan to reduce crime among youth. It has also started a program inside San Mateo County's jail based on the Delancey Street "each one teach one" philosophy. And a number of Delancey Street graduates have started their own treatment programs based on the model they lived and worked in for years.
In Service to Each Other
You don't have to have a past like Lewis' to get into Delancey. You can just show up for lunch. Delancey owns and operates a renowned waterfront restaurant at its South Beach location.
The expansive American-themed menu changes daily and features items chosen by Delancey's staff—such as spit-roasted chicken, chorizo omelettes, and Latin scallop ceviche.
An impeccably groomed maître d' greets my girlfriend and me, his tattoo peeking up over his collar. Looking around the room, I notice members of the city's political elite seated near a mother with three small children, and next to her, a group of electrical workers on lunch break.
All receive the same respect from the waiters—who seem just a little nervous, like actors on opening night of a play. The food rivals anything offered farther up the Embarcadero at the foodie bistros and take-out carts. Our waiter returns several times to confirm that my ahi tuna sandwich is cooked perfectly.
Delancey's residents learn, often for the first time, that they have value and can make and do things that are of value to others.
No one at Delancey Street, whether a dishwasher or the executive director, receives a wage. Instead, they receive housing, treatment, and food. All money generated from Delancey Street's enterprises is returned to keep the program running without government funding. At first this took resident Sean Cronk by surprise. "I asked 'Who is going to control us?' In prison, I was used to having guards make all of my life decisions for me!" Instead, he answers to peers, ex-offenders like himself.
Delancey has graduated more than 18,000 people—bringing them, as they see it, out of "America's underclass into society as … citizens living decent, legitimate, and productive lives." More than 10,000 of them arrived illiterate and have gone on to receive high-school equivalency degrees. Delancey's alumni go on to a wide range of careers—such as firefighter, carpenter, and graphic designer. The organization relies on its graduates to come back, counsel, volunteer, and train the new arrivals. "At Delancey, we're responsible for each other. We're based on the idea of family and community. We're not really a business, institution, or even a program," said resident Brett Crawford.
After graduating from Delancey, Margie Lewis founded a nonprofit called Into the Solution, based in Oakland, Calif. The group helps formerly incarcerated people find affordable housing. "It's what you learn at Delancey. You have to give back what you have been given. It's a lifelong commitment for me to help people who are in the same situation I was in not so long ago."

"This is something we see on the news in other parts of the country, not here," Minneapolis Deputy Police Chief Kris Arneson said Thursday night as her department began investigating why a man apparently walked into a sign company, killed at least four people and then took his own life.
The early signs, as The Star Tribune reports, point to "a man who apparently had just lost his job" at the company as being the gunman. He apparently "opened fire, killing the company's founder and three others and wounding four others" before committing suicide. Three of the wounded are reported to be in critical condition.
St. Paul's Pioneer Press says "police radio traffic during the incident indicated the killer had been fired from Accent Signage Systems earlier in the day."
People who live in Minneapolis Bryn Mawr neighborhood, where Accent Signage had its offices, are in shock. "It's insane. It's crazy," neighbor Heather Buckingham told KARE-TV. "I know the guy, I know all the people."
The TV station adds that Accent Signage is a small company with a "rich history [and a] global impact." It "holds a patent for technology that imprints Braille on things like hotel room numbers and restroom signs ... employs about 30 people and earns $5 to $10-million dollars each year."
Minnesota Public Radio has a story and photo gallery here.
Update at 9 am. ET. Owner Of Company Was "Super Smart ... Charismatic."
According to Minnesota Public Radio:
"Reuven Rahamim, the owner of Accent Signage Systems Inc., where the shooting took place, was among the victims, said his son-in-law, Chad Bluemnfield."Mayor R.T. Rybak said he had toured the business about a month ago, and described Rahamim as a 'super smart' and 'charismatic' Israeli immigrant who had started 'a classic family business.' "Copyright 2016 NPR.

The purpose of the dataset C. elegans muscle aging is to deduce the age of the nemathode based on images of muscles. Images of C. elegans were taken at different chronological ages. This image is part of the day 4 data set. Note that the morphological and chronological ages are not fully correlated due to the variability among individuals even though the individuals are genetically identical. The source for the dataset is Laboratory of Genetics/NIA/NIH.
C. elegans muscle age is a data set of fluorescence 20X microscopy images of C. elegans nematodes stained with phalloidin to visualize actin in muscles at different ages (1,2,4, and 8). Note that the data sets for each age can be found by searching for a featured image from each set: CIL 1005, 1057, 1105, and 1265, respectively.

These Competition Rules cover Competition Procedures and Judging Procedures. These Rules are not final, changes may be made, and the final version will be distributed at the first GA meeting of IOI 2009.
Delegation Leaders have the responsibility of ensuring that all members of their delegation fully understand these rules and abide by them.
All of the tasks in IOI 2009 are designed to be algorithmic in nature. Efficiency plays an important role in some tasks. Whenever efficiency of an algorithm is important, test cases will be designed to differentiate between solutions with different levels of efficiency; the smallest test cases will be designed so that any reasonable correct solution for the tasks can solve them within the task constraints. Therefore, it is worthwhile to attempt a task even if the contestant does not know how to solve large test cases within the constraints. Tasks may be of the following types:
For every task a memory limit will be specified. This limit is on the overall memory usage including executable code size, a stack, a heap, etc.
The source program provided by the contestant must be contained in a single source file. The task statement will define:
The source program provided by the contestant must be contained in a single source file. The task statement will specify:
The competition might include tasks for which input data is given to the contestant and the contestant is required to produce only the output data as a solution. If the contestant writes programs to help determine the output data, the programs must not be submitted with the solution. The input data will be provided in ASCII text files. For these tasks, the task statement will specify:
The contestants should submit a zip or tgz archive with output files (only).
In all tasks, input and output data consist of one or more lines, each ending with an end-of-line character, including the last line. The end-of-line character in Linux is represented by the single character '\n' (ASCII code 10). Each line contains one or more space-separated items. An item is a string of printable non-white-space characters (ASCII code from 33 through 126, inclusive). An item may represent an integer or a general string; the meaning of each item will be given in the task description.
The format and limits for input and output data will be specified in the task description. The output data should be formatted strictly according to the task-specific instructions. The exact amount and type of whitespace you use to separate the elements in the output file will not matter in most cases. However, it is recommended to follow the output specification as precisely as possible.
There will be two competition days. On each competition day contestants will be given four tasks to complete in the five hours. Out of these four tasks, at least one will have detailed feedback enabled for the entire set of the official test cases. The schedule will be published on the official competition web site.
There will also be a two hour Practice Competition prior to the first competition day. The purpose of this practice round is to familiarize all participants with the environment and procedures. The practice tasks will be distributed in advance of the IOI. Contestants may bring printed solutions to the practice tasks, on paper only. All contestants are encouraged to take part in the Practice Competition round.
In order to protect the confidentiality of the tasks, all direct and indirect contacts and communication between contestants and delegation leaders are prohibited between the moment where tasks for a competition day are presented to the members of the GA and the end of the five-hour round on the following day. During this period the contestants are not allowed to communicate by any means, direct or indirect, with any member of the GA or anyone who has seen the tasks. The GA members are not allowed to communicate task-related information to anyone who is not a member of the GA. The contestants, the GA members and anyone else who has had access to the tasks must obey any instructions which restrict their access to specific parts of the IOI venue.
If a contestant violates the quarantine, he or she can be subject to disqualification. If some other person associated with a national delegation violates the quarantine, then all contestants of that delegation can be subjects to disqualification.
In order to eliminate any suspicion of cheating, contestants and team leaders should not use mobile phones and should switch off all wireless facilities in all devices during the quarantine.
All contest machines will be installed to boot in Linux. Microsoft Windows will not be available in the contest machines. The following packages will be installed:
Unubtu 8.04 i386; GNOME;

In the competition room, blank paper and writing utensils will be provided. On the competition days, contestants may not bring anything into the competition rooms, but:
If a contestant wants to bring a keyboard, small mascots or English dictionaries to the competition, these must be submitted to the technical staff during the practice competition day. Any of these will be checked and, if cleared, will be given to the contestant in the first competition day. After the first competition day, the contestant must leave these items on his or her workstation if he or she wants to use them during the second competition day. Once again these will be checked and, if cleared, will be given to the contestant in the second competition day. After the second competition day the contestant must take any of these items with him or her.
Any attempt to bring any other item into the competition room will be considered cheating. In particular, during competition rounds it is strictly prohibited to bring:
Any electronic or printed materials provided by the organizers during the Competition Round may be used by the contestants (e.g., a Users Guide to the Contest System, or any electronic documentation or reference manuals provided in the installed contest environment or on the provided Contest Server).
On the competition days, immediately after breakfast ends, contestants will be admitted to the competition hall. All contestants must wear their ID badges during the competition. Each contestant will have a pre-assigned workstation; this information will be posted in the morning of the competition day. Contestants should be in their seats by at least 5 minutes prior to the start of the competition. On the way to their computers contestants will be checked to verify that they are only bringing allowed items into the competition hall. Small mascots and dictionaries must be submitted to the technical staff during the practice competition day, check Competition supplies section. Contestants must find their assigned computer, sit down, and wait for the competition to begin without touching any:
The beginning of the competition will be marked by an audible start signal, after which the contestant may use any of the above items.
During the first two hours and a half of competition, contestants may submit written questions concerning any ambiguities or items needing clarification in the competition tasks. After this period comments may be received, but no answers will be given. Questions and comments must be submitted on the provided Clarification Request Forms, expressed either in the contestant's native language or in English. If required, delegation leaders will translate their contestants' questions into English after they are submitted and before they are sent to the Scientific Committee. The Scientific Committee will respond to every question submitted by the contestants. Since this might take some time, contestants should continue working while waiting for the answer to their questions. Contestants should phrase their questions so that a yes/no answer will be meaningful. Questions will be answered with one of the following:
Contestants will not be involved in or exposed to discussion regarding their questions. However, in cases where the Scientific Committee feels that the contestant does not understand the task statement, English text which helps clarify the task may be added to the response, and if necessary, translated by the contestant's Delegation Leader into the language in which the question was originally posed.
The IOI competition takes place in a distributed environment in which each competitor has his or her own workstation for development and initial testing. Grading and evaluation take place on the Competition Server, which provides a similar execution environment to that of the contestant workstation. Тhe hardware of the Competition Server is the same as that of the contestant's workstations.
Each contestant's workstation has only Linux installed. A set of software development tools will be available. These tools are used to develop solutions to the competition tasks. There is no restriction on the number of times a program may be edited, compiled, and run on the workstation.
The workstations will have network access to the Competition Server, to a web server which provides documentation, to relevant task data, and facilities such as printing, test execution, and solution submission.
Facilities provided by the Competition Server are described next. These descriptions as well as the whole competition rules will be available on-line on the Competition Server.
The workstations will neither have access to each other nor the Internet. Any attempt to access another competitor's computer or the Internet will be considered cheating. Attempts to tamper with the Competition server, such as probing the server with customized URL's, will also be considered cheating.
Contestants are allowed to print only text files during the competition. After a contestant requests that a document be printed via the Contest Server interface, the support staff will deliver the printout to the contestant; contestants should not leave their computer to find printouts. Printouts will be delivered as quickly as possible, but large volumes can produce delays in delivery. The limit on the length of a printed document is 10 pages and 50 KB. If a document to be printed is longer, only the first 10 pages of the first 50 KB will be printed. On each competition day the contestant can print at most 30 documents.
Contestants submit solutions to the Competition Server via a web browser.
The programming language used by the contestants is determined based on the solution file extension:
Solutions for tasks may be submitted at any time. For tasks that require programs as solutions, each submitted source program must be written in C, C++ or Pascal, it must be smaller than 100 KB, the evaluation server must be able to compile it in less than 30 seconds and at most 512 MB of memory. No other extensions different than the ones listed above will be accepted. Submissions not satisfying these conditions will be rejected by the grading system. However this restriction will be ignored if you set the programming language explicitly in the web interface. Note that the submission will be accepted even if the program does not solve the sample tests correctly or within the given resource constraints. For tasks which require output files as solutions, every submission is accepted unless it violates some other acceptance rule stated in the task description. If a contestant submits more than one solution for the same task, the last accepted submission will be graded. This also applies for output only tasks, i.e. only the last submitted archive is considered for grading. There is a limit of 50 submissions per task (including rejected submissions).
For tasks that require programs as solutions, a contestant may run a program in the evaluation environment using the TEST interface. To use this facility, the contestant supplies the program and an input file to the interface. The same restrictions, as for the SUBMIT interface, apply to the program source code. The input file can be at most 2 MB. However, it is possible to provide a compressed file (gzip or zip archive containing a single file), provided that the size of the uncompressed input is less than 20 MB. The TEST interface will execute the program, enforcing the resource limitations for the particular task. The provided input file is presented to the program, and the first 100 KB of output (without error stream) is captured. The running time, the captured output and any applicable error messages will be displayed.
The TEST interface allows the contestant to determine the exact behavior of his or her program in the evaluation environment with respect to compilation parameters, time and memory limits, and so on.
The TEST interface will be disabled during the last 30 minutes of each competition day.
Contestants are allowed to backup their files during the competition, using the Competition Server. Contestants are advised to make backups of their solutions periodically. On each competition day the contestant can make up to 100 backups. The limit on the size of a single backup is 1MB. The total size of all backups can be up to 10MB.
Contestants may ask the support staff for assistance at any time. The staff members will not answer questions about the competition tasks, but will deliver Clarification Request Forms and printouts, help locate toilets and refreshments, and assist with computer and network problems. The only manner in which contestants are allowed to access the network is via web browser access to the designated Competition Server; even running a single 'ping' command is strictly prohibited. Contestants should never attempt to "fix" or "debug" or even "check" computer or network problems themselves; instead, they should ask for assistance.
Three warnings will be given at 15 minutes, 5 minutes, and 1 minute before the end of the round. Each warning will be given by an audible signal. The end of the round will be announced both verbally and by an audible signal. At the announcement ending the round, contestants must immediately stop working and wait at their desks without operating the computers or touching anything on their desks. An additional announcement will be made instructing them to leave their tables and exit the competition room.
At the end of the first competition round, any previously submitted items a contestant would like to use during the second competition round should be left at the workstation. All other items should be taken out of the competition hall, including task statements. At the end of the second competition round, contestants should remove all items including their mascots and dictionaries or any other previously submitted item; nothing should be left behind.
For output-only tasks, output files will be submitted as described above and scored as described in the task description.
For tasks that require programs as solutions, the submitted source files will be compiled under Linux, enforcing the source file size, and compilation time and memory constraints. The following commands will be used to compile solutions of tasks (say the task name is abc):
For C: gcc -o abc abc.c -std=gnu99 -O2 -s -static -lm -x c
For C++: g++ -o abc abc.cpp -O2 -s -static -lm -x c++
For Pascal: fpc -O2 -XS -Sg abc.pas
If the submitted solution compiled correctly, the grading system will, at some time later, execute the compiled program under Linux, enforcing the task-specific run-time and memory resource constraints with several inputs.
A test case refers to each time the solution is executed with a different input. For each test case the resource constraints will be enforced. If a program exceeds its allotment of any resource, the program is terminated and the test case is marked incorrect, without regard to any output produced.
If the program produces an output within the specified resource constraints, the output will be checked to verify its correctness. A score will be assigned to that specific test case depending on the output. Different test cases may have different maximum scores assigned to them.
If the test case is marked incorrect because it exceeded the resource constraints or because it produced an incorrect output it will be assigned a score of zero points.
For some tasks, partial credit may be awarded in a test case. Whenever this is possible it will be stated explicitly in the task description.
Upon termination, programs must always explicitly return an exit code 0. Other exit codes will be interpreted by the grading system as failures and no points will be awarded for the test run
A test group is a set of one or more test cases. The score for a test group is defined as the minimum of the scores of its constituent test cases.
The purpose of a test group is to assess a well-defined characteristic of a program in a reliable and robust way. Such a characteristic could focus on, for instance, efficiency or special corner cases.
For every task there will be at least one "easy" test group, whose requirements will be separately stated in the task description.
The final score for any task will be obtained by adding the scores of each of the test groups for that task. Only work which has been submitted to and accepted by the grading system will be awarded points.
For some of the tasks, detailed feedback may be enabled. When detailed feedback is enabled for a task, then for every accepted submission the detailed feedback is being prepared. However submissions received in the last 15 minutes of the contest day will not receive detailed feedback. The submitted program then enters a queue for evaluation. Please keep in mind that the program can stay in the queue any time from a few seconds to several minutes. When its turn comes, the contestant's program will be evaluated on some of the official test cases. After the evaluation is done, the Competition Server will show to the contestant a summary of their results on the executed test cases. The summary will contain the total number of test cases and the number of test cases for each of the following possible outcomes:
No information on how the test cases are grouped together or their assigned score will be given to the contestant. But for every test group if one of its test cases is enabled for feedback then all of its test cases are enabled for feedback.
No information on the actual data, the output produced by the contestant solution or any other execution details will be given to the contestant. After the contest is over, the solution is evaluated again, this time on all the tests. The official results are based on the second evaluation. If the contestant solution is not deterministic, then it may happens, that the detailed feedback does not match the final results.
Submitted programs are not allowed to:
All of the above actions are considered cheating, and may result in disqualification.
Submitted solutions are evaluated using data which conforms to the specification given in the problem statement, but which is unknown to competitors during the competition.
Provisional grades, based on these tests, are delivered to team leaders' mailboxes as soon as they are available, shortly after competition ends. The judge data will be made available electronically in the competition area after the competition as well. Contestants and team leaders may use the contestant's workstations to verify that the grades are assessed correctly. A Team Leader may file an appeal by completing an Appeal Form, available near the mailboxes, and submitting the completed form to the mailbox labeled "Appeals" at least 30 minutes prior to the final GA meeting of that competition day. Every appeal will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee and the team leader will be notified the committee's decision. All appeals and their disposition will be summarized at the final GA meeting of that competition day.
In the event that a mistake is discovered in the grading of a task, every successful submission of that task will be re-graded and re-scored whether or not the scoring of that submission has been appealed. Note that re-scoring may result in a higher or lower score for any contestant. Should anyone's score change after grading results have been distributed, new results will be printed and distributed to them.
After the second Competition Day and before the IOI Awards Ceremony the scientific committee establishes the medal distribution. The medals will be awarded based on the number of points the contestants achieved. For each of the medals, the scientific committee establishes the minimum score necessary to achieve this medal. Each medal will be awarded to precisely those contestants who reached or exceeded the respective minimum score, and didn't achieve a better medal. The medal boundaries are uniquely determined by the following rules:
Any contestant:
will be considered to be cheating and is subject to disqualification. Also refer to the list above of prohibited program actions which are considered cheating and may result in disqualification. Cheating will be taken very seriously and rules will be strictly enforced. Any contestant who is cheating in any way will be immediately disqualified, at the discretion of the International Scientific Committee. It is of the utmost importance that team leaders speak to their contestants about cheating, instructing and urging all contestants not to cheat, explaining the relevant rules and verifying that all contestants fully understand them.

It's with a heavy heart that I tell you all that Daisy died. She passed peacefully on Tuesday afternoon. Please know how much I appreciate all of your love and good wishes that you've sent our way these past few weeks. It means the world to me.
In her memory, I'd like to share the story of how Daisy entered our lives.
Mr. Rosenberg and I had only known each other a short while. I was working as a coordinator at an outpatient program for teens with psychological and addiction problems. To celebrate three months of dating bliss, Jeff and I moved in together. We shared a 500 square foot single on the top floor of a six-story walk-up. Two weeks later he was ready to get engaged. I threw in a tiny speed bump, requesting that we wait until we had six months together to even start talking about it. Jeff countered with the next most logical commitment step: we should get a puppy.
I had lost my dear black lab, Stella, to doggy cancer five years previous. I knew I wasn't ready for the emotional obligation of another furry pal, especially one who wasn't housebroken, so I told Jeff that getting a puppy was a sweet idea and that we should think about it, fully intending to put it off at least until we were living someplace larger than the back booth at Jerry's Deli.
Two days later, on a rainy afternoon, I took Tommy to Rae's Diner for lunch. Tommy was a sweet and heavily medicated kid being treated for a number of psychiatric and developmental disorders. He talked slowly and he moved slowly. As we sat at the window with our grilled cheese sandwiches, I noticed a skinny little black dog in the parking lot. She was wrestling with a greasy paper bag she had pulled from the garbage.
"Hey Tommy, look. It's a puppy."
He turned to see the wet dog eating old french fries from a styro-foam container. Tommy slowly stood up from the table and then bolted out the side door of the restaurant. I watched as he ran to her and tried to pick her up. Ready to play, she took off down the sidewalk, and Tommy ran after her out of view. I had never seen Tommy walk quickly. I had certainly never seen him run.
I walked outside. Tommy came back into the parking lot, the puppy following close behind him. "We had a dog when I was little," Tommy said. "Her name was Daisy." When we got back to the office, I called Jeff.
"Tommy and I found this tiny starving puppy and she was eating garbage in the rain and she's super cute and nice and I was thinking that we could maybe keep her until we find her owners or something because she's so little and we couldn't just leave her out there in the rain and she peed in the minivan but it's not like you can really smell it in there or anything and I was thinking I could bring her home. What do you think?"
"I already love her," Jeff said.
We named her Daisy.

The Environmental Protection Agency indicates that polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have a negative impact on your health and environment. These chemicals in your home environment may be causing harm to your pet without your knowledge.
In the body, PBDEs are found in breast milk, blood and the blood of umbilical cords. These chemical compounds persist in the environment and accumulate in wild animals. They are thought to cause brain damage, birth defects, and contribute to disease of the liver and thyroid.
PBDE chemical compounds are used as flame retardants in industries that produce electronics, furniture and foam. These products have a propensity of giving off airborne particles that build up in your home's dust. Seventeen pet dogs who live primarily indoors participated in an analysis at Indiana University. The analysis found their PBDE concentration levels to be five to 10 times higher than that of humans.
"In the U.S., we the have highest levels of flame retardants in our dust and in our bodies," indicates Arelene Blum, Executive Director of the Green Science Policy Institute. Pollution in People asserts that these toxic PBDE industrial chemicals have been used for more than 30 years in the manufacturing of mattresses, furniture and consumer-used electronic plastics.
Household furniture is frequently produced with flame retardant chemicals and materials before it is shipped to consumers. Furniture that is made with organic cotton stuffing or wool padding will be free of the hazards of PBDE. This means when shopping for sofas, loveseats, easy chairs, mattresses and other furniture with seat, arm or back padding, it will be important to ask the contents. Ask if flame retardants are used and if there are alternate choices. Request that organic cotton or wool padding be provided as a condition of your purchase. The use of flame retardant materials varies from state to state. Its use will depend on governmental laws and regulations that are in effect.
It is estimated that approximately five percent of the weight of the petroleum-based fill known as polyurethane foam is flame retardant chemicals. Polyurethane foam is used in nearly all sofas, easy chairs, loveseats and mattresses manufactured.
"PBDEs are an important, but generally unrecognized, persistent organic pollutant,'' advised Robert C. Hale in Nature. Hale is a professor at the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences. Persistent organic pollutants can remain in our environment for many years without breaking down. Body fat in animals and humans become the storage zones for these pollutants.
''There is an enormous need to act quickly when there is a problem with a chemical that is not only toxic but is persistent and accumulates,'' says Gina Solomon, Natural Resources Defense Council senior scientist.
Talk with your veterinarian about the impact of these industrial chemicals on your pet's health and wellness. Your veterinarian will guide you in reducing the negative impact on your pet's health.

BATON ROUGE, La. — Newly crowned Miss USA Nia Sanchez, a fourth-degree black belt in the Korean martial art of taekwondo, says that women need to be able to defend themselves as a way to battle the problem of campus rape and that bringing awareness to the issue is very important.
Videos by Rare
The 24-year-old from Las Vegas, Nevada, beat out 50 other contestants from all the states and the District of Columbia on Sunday night for the title of 63rd Miss USA. First runner-up was Miss North Dakota Audra Mari. Sanchez will go on to represent the U.S. at the Miss Universe competition later this year.
In a vibrant red floor-length fishtail gown, Miss Nevada answered judge Rumer Willis' question about the high rate of sexual assaults on college campuses. Willis, the 25-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, said 19 percent of U.S. undergraduate women are victims of sexual assault and asked Sanchez why she thinks the issue is being swept under the rug and what should be done about it.
Sanchez said women need to take it upon themselves to learn how to defend themselves. After being crowned, Sanchez told reporters she lived for a time in a women's shelter at a young age with her mother and at age 8 took up taekwondo to learn self-defense and build up her confidence.
As an adult, she has volunteered at women's shelters, teaching residents how to defend themselves and teaching kids about "stranger danger."
"I relate to them on a personal level because I've been there myself," she said, adding that she plans to take her passion and knowledge for martial arts to the masses as Miss USA.
Sanchez also said she was "so proud to bring the title of Miss USA back to Nevada."
"I'm so excited," she said. "It's a dream come true."
Erin Brady, of South Glastonbury, Connecticut, the 2013 winner, gave up her crown to Sanchez after a three-hour telecast from the Baton Rouge Civic Center in Louisiana. Besides Mari, the next four runners-up, judged on interviews, evening gowns and swimsuits were: Miss Georgia Tiana Griggs, Miss Louisiana Brittany Guidry, Miss Florida Brittany Oldehoff and Miss Iowa Carlyn Bradarich. All the titles included USA after the state.
Bradarich got a second chance when the viewing audience gave her the most votes on Twitter in the pageant's first-ever "Save the Queen" option.
The subject of sexual assault was also on the mind of Miss Pennsylvania Valerie Gatto. She made headlines this week when she said she was the product of rape. During a taped segment that aired when her name was called, Gatto said her mother was 19 when she was attacked leaving work in Pittsburgh and became pregnant.
Gatto said she is living proof "that your circumstances do not define your life."
First runner-up Mari said she overcame being bullied in high school by competing in ice hockey. The Fargo, North Dakota, native wore a green floor-length evening gown and in her final interview talked about the importance of getting an education and going to college.
Contestants entered the stage on a glitzy float as Louisiana native singer-songwriter Marc Broussard sang the New Orleans hits "Iko Iko" and "Hey Pocky Way" to kick off the 2014 contest. The women introduced themselves while holding Mardi Gras masks in their hands as purple, green and gold confetti fell in the background.
The pageant also included musical acts by the country music duo Florida Georgia Line, rapper Nelly and Latin pop band Camila.
Celebrity judges walked a red carpet in evening gowns and tuxedos before the start of the show, posing for pictures and talking about the qualities they would be looking for in the beauty they crown the winner.
"It's very important that she has confidence," said Barbara Palacios, Miss Universe 1986 and a coach and judge for the new Telemundo reality show, "Miss Latina Universo." "The right attitude and perseverance are also very important."
"It's all about the eyes," said Lance Bass of the pop singing boy group NSYNC. "I just want to see a girl that is just really having a good time up there."
Donald Trump, who owns the Miss Universe Organization, which includes the Miss USA pageant, also walked the red carpet.

Rahu Kalam Today or Rahu Kaal Today, will provide the exact timings of Rahu Kaal everyday. According to Vedic Hindu Astrology, it is important to check shubh muhurat, also known as Nalla Neram in South India and Raku Kaal, also known as Rahu Kalam or Yamagandam in South India, before planning anything auspicious.
Rahu Kaal is not considered a prosperous time for any auspicious event, and it is known to give unfavorable outcomes for things started during the Rahukalam. Hence, Rahu Kalam timings are always considered before starting anything new.
What are Rahu Kaal Timings Today in Shivaji Nagar
25 July 2024 (Thursday)
People follow daily Shubh Muhurat, Rahu Kalam, Nalla Neram and Yamagandam timings before planning auspicious ventures which include- buying new vehicle, griha pravesh, Puja anushthan, marriage muhurat, naamkaran sanskaar and many other things. It is not possible to consult an astrologer for everything, so the easiest way is to check daily Shubh Muhurat using Choghadiya and Daily Panchang.
To find favorable time for auspicious work, consult Choghadiya muhurat
Read ahead to find Rahu Kaal timings for different cities in India and for every day of the week.

Consult daily Choghadiya and daily Panchang to find daily Rahu Kaal timings.
Each day, Rahu Kaal lasts for one and a half hour; it is among the eight segments of the day that fall between sunrise and sunset. The total time between sunrise and sunset at a given place when divided by eight gives the individual time duration for the eight segments.
Sunrise and sunset moments are considered while calculating geometric values of sunrise and sunset. Refraction is not considered in Geometric sunrise, which is different from Observational sunrise. The latter marks sunrise moments when the upper limb of the Sun becomes visible at the Eastern Horizon, while Geometric sunrise marks sunrise moments when the middle of the Sun is visible at the Eastern Horizon.
Given the difference in local timings of sunrise and sunset for various locations, Rahu Kaal timings and Rahu duration are never the same for two places. Since the sunrise and sunset timings keep changing throughout the year, Rahu Kaal also varies from day to day as it does from place to place. So, it is advisable to look at the time and duration of Rahu Kaal for your geographical location before starting any important work on a given day.

John 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 1
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry,
because the Jews sought to kill him. 2 Now the Jews feast of
tabernacles was at hand. 3 His brethren therefore said unto him,
Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that
thou doest. 4 For there is no man that doeth any thing
in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things,
shew thyself to the world. 5 For neither did his brethren believe in
him. 6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not
yet come: but your time is alway ready. 7 The
world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works
thereof are evil. 8 Go ye up unto this
feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in
Galilee. 10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up
unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 11 Then the Jews
sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? 12 And there was much
murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man:
others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people. 13 Howbeit no man spake
openly of him for fear of the Jews. 14 Now
about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. 15 And
the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? 16 Jesus
answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his
that sent me. 17 If any man will do his
will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I
speak of myself. 18 He that speaketh of
himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the
same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. 19 Did
not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go
ye about to kill me? 20 The people answered and said, Thou hast
a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? 21 Jesus answered and said unto
them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. 22 Moses
therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the
fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. 23 If
a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not
be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the
sabbath day? 24 Judge not according to
the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 25 Then said some
of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? 26 But,
lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed
that this is the very Christ? 27 Howbeit we know this man whence he
is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. 28 Then cried
Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me,
and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is
true, whom ye know not. 29 But I know
him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. 30 Then they
sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet
come. 31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ
cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? 32 The
Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the
Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. 33 Then
said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you,
and then I go unto him that sent me. 34 Ye
shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye
cannot come. 35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither
will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the
Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? 36 What manner of saying is
this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I
am, thither ye cannot come? 37
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried,
saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and
drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the
scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But
this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for
the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet
glorified.) 40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this
saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. 41 Others said, This is
the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Hath
not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the
town of Bethlehem, where David was? 43 So there was a division among
the people because of him. 44 And some of them would have taken him;
but no man laid hands on him. 45 Then
came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them,
Why have ye not brought him? 46 The officers answered, Never man spake
like this man. 47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also
deceived? 48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on
him? 49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. 50 Nicodemus
saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) 51 Doth
our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? 52 They
answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out
of Galilee ariseth no prophet. 53 And every man went unto his own
house. Return to Bible Online Calvinist Corner |

All Mountain Versatility
Type of Rider
The versatile nature of this board makes it ideal for being a well rounded quiver killer. The Archaic is truly an all-terrain slayer; this deck is loaded with pop and energy. The Dual Arc Edges create exceptional edge hold, and the stability to charge through just about any conditions that Mother Nature will throw at you. Whether you're laying trenches on corduroy, or seeking out fresh lines through the glades, the Archaic will get the job done for you.
Board Shape
You get the best of multiple shapes with the combination of flat, camber, and rocker zones. The camber and flat zones create stability, energy, and pop with tremendous edge hold you can trust when you need it most. The rocker zones allow for a smooth, catch free, and playful feel.
Our Eco-Friendly Bamboo to the Core layers are laminated vertically and horizontally, creating the ultimate utilization of bamboo in our snowboards. Sandwiched bamboo material has unmatched strength, durability, and performance.
The Dual Arc Edges yield a multiple radius sidecut that creates superb edge hold and quick maneuverability when laying into a carve. GRIP ON DEMAND!
Lightweight carbon adds strength and durability in high stress areas. The carbon focuses energy to specific areas of the core creating insane amounts of pop.
Our M1 core beefed up with our Bamboo to the Core. Bamboo is one of the strongest natural materials on earth increasing the strength and durability of the core while loading the board with energy to create a more responsive and powerful feel.
We use UHMWPE which has higher durability, flex, and bonding abilities. Traditional ABS Plastics can crack and break in colder conditions where UHMWPE will not.
This high performance base is both proven in durability, and speed. Sintered bases hold more wax and are much stronger than extruded bases.
This snowboard utilizes Triax fiberglass that adds extra torsional strength for more versatility and stability.
A rubberized internal material used to create a fail proof bond between materials. It's secondary function is to absorb chatter on the roughest of slopes.

Oral Roberts shocks No. 3
No, in fact, I'm going to say: I told you so... seven months later.
Quickie regulars might remember my boldest/craziest call of 2006: That 16-seed Oral Roberts would beat 1-seed
Well, ORU didn't win that game, but – if you think about it – if
If you are willing to stretch your imagination, you could say that I had this called. I just had ORU beating the wrong Top 4 team at the wrong moment of the wrong season. But I'm claiming it as a moral victory.
Wait for it...: Or is that an ORAL victory?
(What did I say the other day? Why was I avoiding picking
Between this and UNC's iffy quasi-home win over
More of today's big storylines:
Emmitt Smith wins Dancing With the Stars: This is an even bigger upset than Oral Roberts winning at
MLB Awards: Manager. In the most predictable outcome of the year, Leyland and Girardi won Managers of the Year. Girardi's bonus? Pink slip.
MLB Awards: AL Cy. This is another no-brainer. It's Johan Santana and everyone else. My only question is if any voters will be stupid enough to NOT give Johan their No. 1 vote.
OJ Mayo commits to USC: I'm not sure a one-hit wonder can qualify as a "program-changer." I suppose Mayo gives USC credibility on the national recruiting scene. But he's no Carmelo. Not even close. (Of course, I've argued that Carmelo had the most impact of any college player ever. That's a high bar for Mayo to hurdle.)
NBA Notes:
(1) OK, Morrison is good. I may have underestimated Adam Morrison, who put in 27 leading the Bobs to a win over the Spurs in
(2) LeBron: 32/7/7. With LeBron's awesome new shoes coming out today, he sure knows how to put on a performance to show them off.
(3) Kenyon Martin: Out for season. The Nets look smarter and smarter for letting him go.
(4) Kevin Martin Watch: He hits his average on the mark (24 pts), and the Kings won their 4th straight.
(6) Michael Jordan wants to invest in new slot-machine parlors in Philly. He must need a place to go when the Bobcats play the Sixers.
MLB Hot Stove: My 2006 AL MVP, Frank Thomas, is on the cusp of signing a deal with the Blue Jays. I love the Jays' second consecutive offseason of aggressive dealing. (Wonder if they're going to trade Vernon Wells, who becomes a free agent after next season?)
Plus: A-Rod staying? After news of an opt-out after the '07 season came out yesterday, A-Rod reiterated that he wants to stay with the Yankees for the remainder of his three-year deal. Whatever.
Instant Replay in MLB? The GMs want it, but it won't be in place until after 2007, at the earliest. They are talking about using it for foul balls and home runs, but I'd suggest they use it for plays at the plate, too (perhaps in a limited NFL-style where managers can use one play-at-the-plate challenge per game). My argument for replay in baseball is very simple: The most important thing for the integrity of the game is to get the calls right.
NFL Notes: Trent Green will start for the Chiefs (at least, until he gets his bell rung one more time). Clinton Portis is out for the season, fulfilling the foreshadowing of his preseason injury.
College Bowls: The Birmingham Bowl is now the PapaJohn's.com Bowl, which might set a new bar for ridiculous bowl names. Is the apostrophe really supposed to be in there?
Ohio St-Michigan Countdown: Current players may not be willing to make predictions, but ex-Wolverine Chris Perry is happy to talk smack about a
