1951 Ford F-1 - Sanford and SonWritten by on April 11, 2014 Contributors: Jim Holguin As Seen on Television —Sort of
This ol' truck compulsion that we share, at least for most of us hobbyist types, is generally just for fun. But let's be completely honest. Let's go ahead and admit right here and now that it's also for attention. Well, it is, right? There, doesn't that feel better? Now that we've cleaned that out, we might as well take a lesson from Visalia, California's Jim Holguin, who has perfected his three-month build formula to maximize fun through attracted attention—all without breakin' the porcelain pig.
Further truth be told, this extremely effective build would not just happen without help from friends. As Jim is quick to confess, "Brian Collins and I have been messing around with old cars and trucks for a long time. One day, while we were sitting in his garage, a gardener rolled by with a trailer made from an F-1 bed. I said to Brian, I've had this idea to get an F-1 and build a Sanford and Son truck. From that very moment, the hunt was on. We found one in a couple weeks. We worked day and night with the goal of attending Goodguys West Coast Nationals in Pleasanton—and we made it."
Since the time of completion in 2005, Jim has traveled many miles with many smiles in his almost-daily-driven '51 F-1. Making good use of good used parts from Donaldson Wrecking Yard of Orange Cove, California, the aforementioned formula is comprised of fairly straightforward stuff. Bang for the buck here would be difficult to beat, but based on fun factor alone, Jim Holguin's lil' Sanford and Son clone owes him nothing. Y'all 'member the episode where Lamont hopped-up the shop truck?

Fred 'n' Lamont's—er, Jim's engine and powertrain begin with a Ford-based 302 crate-motor, topped with a double-barrel Holly carb and conservatively dressed in Edelbrock apparel. Continued support comes by way of a rebuilt C4 from Andrews Transmission of Visalia, California, with a 9-inch posi Ford bringin' up the rear.Although the bed's floor has been raised to accommodate fully boxed, stepped 'rails, this ol' truck'll haul. In fact, 'round these parts in the greater Visalia and Central Valley areas, this hard-workin' hauler is frequently spotted carryin' some mighty heavy loads of—um, Sanford-grade salvage.Jim's seat frame is a graft of two late models: a Ranger and a full-size Chevy truck. Interior trim was handled by Santos Upholstery of Visalia, California. An authentic Mexican serape provides the insert fabric. The shortened tilt column is from a Chevy van, and a Model A hubcap makes a natural horn button for a Lecarra Mark 10 steering wheel.

I execute compareit via command line from a script that compares many files, so compareit is executed multiple thousands of times during a script execution.
When compareit is being executed in command prompt mode two things occur that I would like to be suppressed. The first, is all windows dialogs (such as the percentage bar that pops up if the files being compared are large, to show the time remaining on the comparison) pop up to the front of the screen, causing anything that you had focus on to be unfocused.
If you are writing an email while compareit is being executed in the background, then you will not be able to type on your email because it loses focus every time compareit is executed again. If the percentage bar must be displayed, can it be displayed in "background" or unfocused so that it doesn't affect multi-tasking. I attempted to do this myself by creating a shortcut and forcing compareit to start minimized, with no luck.
An even more optimal solution would be that whenever compareit is executed in command line mode, all dialogs are suppressed, and compareit is started minimized or in the background (much like how winzip works in command line mode) so that it does not disturb a user executing this from a script (which I imagine most users who take advantage of the command line option do).

Currently working on a taxi app and need to organise the vehicles into categories. The user will need to be able to quickly select their desired vehicle while showing passengers & luggage for each vehicle.
The categories:
- Standard (Saloon, Estate, Standard MPV, Large MPV)
- Premium (Multiple vehicle types)
- Executive (Multiple vehicle types)
Any thoughts on how I could clearly show all the vehicles - maybe a carousel? slider?. Keep in mind that a lot of people don't know what the differences are between Saloon, Estate etc.

Grades are given by faculty members, and a change of grade should be given only by the faculty member who gave the original grade (if this is not possible, contact the department).
Students who feel they have earned a grade different from the one given are referred to the course instructor. If that instructor concludes that the officially recorded final grade should be changed, the instructor will make corrections on the Change of Grade Form which is available in the departmental office.
After the instructor signs the Form, the department chairperson signs and forwards the Form to the dean of the college. The dean signs it and forwards the original and all copies to the Office of Registration and Academic Progress. Once the change has been made on the student's academic transcript, the student will be notified and all copies of the Form are sent to the appropriate individuals.

How can I use my external hard drive on Mac OS so I can modify/edit files on both OS's: Mac and Windows? How should I format it?
FAT32 (called MS-DOS (FAT) by Disk Utility; a filesystem originally released in 1977 and updated a few times since, lastly in 1996) really is the only cross platform filesystem that is going to work fully out of the box with Windows and Mac OS X.
Be careful though, if you are using Disk Utility to format the drive, you should make sure to choose the Master Boot Record partitioning scheme (hit the "Options..." button below the "Partition Layout" control on the Partition pane). The default GUID partitioning scheme won't be recognised by 32-bit Windows XP and earlier Windows operating systems and Mac OS X versions earlier than 10.4.
Mac OS X has had support for reading NTFS formatted disk for a few versions, but still doesn't have write support. There are a few third-party products that allow Mac OS X to read NTFS formatted drives but as far as I'm aware the free ones aren't as well maintained as the commercial ones. I'd love for someone to tell me differently. For a while I've been using http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/ but as far as I can tell it hasn't been updated since December 2008.
Tuxera (who develop one of the commercial NTFS drivers for Mac OS X) have a list of free NTFS drivers that are developed from the same NTFS-3G source used by Linux to read NTFS drives. http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/
Using exFAT would be a good idea if the Windows computer runs Vista or Windows 7. This is a "simple" filesystem yet it supports > 4 Gb files and multi-terabyte partitions.
For compatibility with 32 bits filesystems you still have to use MBR, not GPT.
FAT32 (called MS-DOS (FAT) in Disk Utility) is a cross compatible file format although you will be limited to 4GB maximum per single file. Plugins for the mac can also allow it to handle using NTFS volumes, which is a more desirable solution
If you are dealing exclusively with Windows XP and later (XP and 2003 after an update) and OS X 10.6.5 both systems will be able to read and write exFAT file systems. This will require no additional software to work and will deal with large file and storage sizes much better than FAT32.
My answer from a similar question: Best File System for Sharing Between OS X and Windows
If you're working exclusively with 10.6.6 or greater on the Mac side, try exFAT. Native read/write support under Windows and OS X, and none of the file size limits of FAT32. Disk Utility will happily format your drives using it.
It's probably your best option, as it avoids any user-space filesystem drivers, which personally make me a bit uneasy.
XP and Vista support exFAT with appropriate updates: Vista as of SP1, and XP with SP2 and the KB955704 update
Also a good point from the above posters re: MBR vs. GPT on 32bit systems.
An MBR partition scheme with a FAT32 (called MS-DOS (FAT) in Disk Utility) volume will allow both OS X (10.4 and up) and Windows (XP and up) to read and write with no additional drivers.
The open-source solution is to install
the disk can be formatted with windows, or with ntfsprogs on a mac.
(filesystem operations always envolve risk, and very likely lots of command-line work.)
NTFS is the native windows filesystem. It's open-source drivers work quite stably and reliably. NTFS will work like a charm if you'll ever need linux support.
if you don't feel comfortable altering the system yourself, paid softwares and services can always be found.
i can post my ntfs auto-mount script for mac if you can't find one with google.

Meet author Anne Bennett
Meet author Anne Bennett
Start Date:
14 February 2013 10:30 AM
End Date: 14 February 2013 11:30 AM
Meet author Annne Bennett
Please note: this event has been rescheduled from January 2013 due to inclement weather.
Anne Bennett was born in the Horsefair district of Birmingham. The daughter of Roman Catholic Irish immigrants, she grew up in a tight-knit community. For many years she taught in schools to the north of Birmingham, before an accident put paid to that career. This gave her the chance to write full time. She has four children and four grandchildren. In 2006, after sixteen years in a wheelchair, Anne was able to walk again. She is the author of almost 20 novels, and is a much-loved voice in the women's saga genre.
If You Were the Only Girl
Their love crossed the class divide, but will it survive the ravages of war?
When Lucy's father dies and her family is plunged into poverty, she is forced to take a job in service as a housemaid at Windthorpe House, home to the aristocratic Hetheringtons, who lost three of their four sons in the Great War. When their only remaining son, Clive, returns home from university, he and Lucy develop a strong bond, which only deepens as Lucy becomes indispensable to the family. Clive however, much to his family's consternation, decides to volunteer to fight against the Fascists in the Spanish Civil War, though he returns injured and full of rage at the hated regime. As Lucy tends his wounds, the two fall in love and Clive is determined that the class difference won't keep them apart. But Hitler's troops are gathering and fate has something very different in store for both of them…
Praise for Anne Bennett

Sometimes you hear on the news about weird medical conditions that actually cause more sex than normal. And when you hear about the poor dude whose condition caused him to have sex with 300 women you think, hell, how do I catch that shit?
But these conditions are kind of like eating at Taco Bell. It may sound awesome in theory, but personal experience may leave you with internal bleeding.
#5. Hypersexuality
Commonly referred to as nymphomania by Internet perverts and perverts who still eschew technology but like the idea just the same; hypersexuality is what happens when your libido cranks the dial to 11 and leaves it there.
Frat guys throughout history have fantasized about dating a "total nympho," thinking they'll wind up with a special lady friend with a sex drive that rivals a three dicked hummingbird on E. It's been the subject of more Penthouse letters than can possibly be counted.
"And this one time, she tried to have sex with me while she was already having sex with me. It was awesome."
For menfolk, the condition is known as satyriasis, which is Greek for "having the wang of a goat-legged man" and it means you are now Wilt Chamberlain, minus the distraction of basketball.
Why it Would Suck:
A woman in the UK developed hyerpsexuality after suffering a massive brain hemorrhage, which seems like a really awesome superhero background story. Not expected to live, she surprised everyone by waking up and trying to ride her husband like a Shetland pony.
Some of you guys are still rooting for the disorder at this point, but that's because you're probably assuming the "nympho" only has the hots for you. Unfortunately, that's not how compulsions work. The victim estimates she boned about 50 random, and probably surprised, strangers in the two years since her accident.
Her husband frequently gets called home from work because she's in the driveway trying to bone some random dude. Nowadays she can no longer work, and her ability to focus is on par with an eight-year-old armed with a television remote which, in this case, is shaped like a wiener.
Yeah, it turns out pretty much anything can stop being fun once you're only doing it due to a short-circuit in your brain. And this is actually worse than say, compulsive over-eating or sleeping, because those don't carry a stigma that will make you famous around the neighborhood and, well, on websites like this one.
#4. Priapism
Priapus was a Greek fertility god known for his excellent quiche and the fact he was sporting a two-foot boner all the time. When eternal two-foot boners fell out of fashion, they gave the god's name to the medical condition priapism, which is wood that just won't quit.
Priapus. But you probably didn't need us to tell you that.
This is considered one of those "good problems" in a culture where erectile dysfunction ranks a notch above "terror attack" on most men's Panic Scale. This is why the "herbal Viagra" industry dominates email spam. Millions of men think having their groin turned into a pube enshrouded temple of awesome for hours at a time would accomplish most of their life goals.
Why it Would Suck:
The problem with priapism is that nothing can bring your little soldier down from attention. Even when you've had your fun, he's still saluting. Doesn't sound so bad except that, when you're hard all the time it's the result of blood pumping in to the wang but not out. This can lead to blood clots, gangrene and the future inability to ever have an erection again. Oh, and pain. Severe pain.
For people who have to get medical attention for this--and it's not uncommon--the solution starts with the cringe worthy tactic of packing your crotch with ice. If exposure to frostbite inflicting levels of cold fails to work, they can try needles, shunts, drainage and injections of decongestants into your shiny new dicksicle.
Generally speaking, those are the frontline treatments, like say if your wang has been up for more than four hours or so. Some people--like a Peruvian farmer whose name was not provided so we'll just call him Chubs McWeiner--will hold out for eight solid days before seeking medical attention. Eight days with what we have to assume by the end looked an awful lot like a bratwurst stuffed with grape jelly.
In cases like that, surgery is the only option. We won't give you the details of the surgery (we're sure you can find pics of it out there) but let's face it, there's no non-invasive method for surgically deflating your junk.
#3. Sexsomnia
This is kind of like sleep walking, only instead of taking a leisurely stroll down to the kitchen and pouring yourself a glass of milk, you sleep fuck. So nothing like sleep walking, other than the fact you're not awake and therefore don't realize how awesome what you're doing is. With this condition you don't even need to be awake to be a sex god. You can get in your seven hours of beauty sleep and still keep your partner in awe of your prowess.
Why it Would Suck:
Aside from not remembering the amazing sex you had, you don't get to pick your partner, which can lead to some rather embarrassing morning after moments. It's bad enough if you wake up next to the 60-year-old stripper who lives across the street after an evening of regrettable drinking, but try to imagine what it's like for some poor sucker like Jan Luedecke.
After nodding off after a party, he attempted to have sex with a woman who was crashed on the same couch. She woke up to find him working his mojo, presumably drooling on his footy pajamas, and tossed his ass to the floor. The impact woke him up, and while she called the cops, he went to the bathroom and found he had a condom on and not a damn clue what had happened.
"OK, there is no way you're going to believe this, officer, but..."
He was tried for sexual assault, and later acquitted since he was, in fact, able to prove that he suffered from sexomnia. No doubt by the end of the trial he was extremely thankful he hadn't fallen asleep at his grandparent's 50th anniversary party.

Pointer Mate - Acupoint Locator
Whenever any organ of the body undergoes pathological changes its corresponding meridian and points show changes and certain relatively specific pathological reaction points such as auriculo-acupuncture points, meridian points appear on the skin surface. The electric resistance of the reactive points is further lowered than in normal conditions.
It can be readily located by means of an instrument which is sensitive to resistance changes.When the probe head touches a low electric resistance point, the loudspeaker gives a sound signal. Its pitch rises with the lowering of the electric resistance of the skin.
When meridian points, auriculo-acupuncture points and reactive points are more accurately located, more efficient therapeutical results can be obtained while needling these points.
With this instrument and method of detection, acupuncture of the points thus located usually produce a strong needling sensation and satisfactory therapeutical results.
The use of this instrument makes it easier to locate points, especially for the beginners. The detecting of auriculo-acupuncture points may also serve as an aid to diagnosis.

I have a ruby on rails application which is running on passenger and nginx, with one main webserver and multiple application servers. I am trying to update my deployment process in order to minimize (or ideally, remove) any downtime caused by the deployment. The main roadblock right now is that passenger takes some time to restart (ie. reload the application), so in order to get around this, I want to stagger my restarts so that only one app server gets restart at a time.
In order to do this without losing any long running passenger processes, I am thinking I need to gracefully shutdown the app server's nginx instance, which will cause it to no longer accept new connections but continue to process the existing ones; as well, HAProxy will detect that the app server is down and route new requests to the other server.
However, assuming that there is a long-running process, I am not sure how to detect when the graceful shutdown has completed so that I can start it back up. Since the shutdown is caused by sending a signal (ie.
kill -QUIT $( cat /var/run/nginx.pid )), and the kill command will return immediately, I cannot combine commands (ie.
kill ... && touch restarted), as the
touch command will execute immediately, even if nginx hasn't completed its shutdown.
Is there any good way to do this?

The Eye-Fi Mobile X2 does everything the previous Eye-Fi(s) did—upload photos to your computer and online—over a Wi-Fi network. The Mobile X2 has a new trick: It'll zap photos to and from your Android and iOS devices.
Stupid easy setup. If you don't have a router, the X2's Direct Mode turns itself into a wireless hotspot, for a direct connect to your iOS or Android thing. Then you can flag photos for automatic upload to your computer via the Eye-Fi app when you get re-connected to the Wee-Fees. It'll offload videos, too, even ripping out the raw .mts file from ever-fickle AVCHD videos. Bonus: The Eye-Fi app also beams photos from your phone's camera to your computer for you, sans wires.
Transfers times from the card to your photo bucket of choice are not insignificant (around 10-20 seconds, and that's after the 5-10 second warm-up time for the app). Both the iPad app and the desktop app could afford to be less ugly and more user friendly.
If you're someone who shoots a lot of photos on actual cameras and would like to have them automagically appear on your smartphone or computer, it's hard not to recommend the Mobile X2. But at $80, you might first want to consider just how much you'll really use (or even need) it.

No, it's not what you think.
The hardest workouts I've ever done only last twenty minutes, and I don't even break a sweat. I don't breathe hard, I don't even get warm in my extremities. My heart rate has to stay in a specific, low zone. Last week I was in the 130s. This week I am in the 140s.
This is the hardest workout mentally and emotionally. To go to the gym, seeing all the people doing all the things I want to do, I used to do, I CAN DO, I miss doing. To have no one know why you're pedaling at a gear three on the recumbent bike with your hair down. To make the effort to drag the kids to the daycare, with puffy coats and logistics, so I can "work out" without even any endorphin rush, without any training effect on my body.
Why am I doing this? Why am I undergoing this difficulty of self-control and disciple? Because this is my best shot at getting better.
At being able to exercise normally.
If everything goes WELL, I can increase my heart rate by ten beats per minute each week. And at some point down the line, I can double up on my twenty minute sessions, doing two a day at the target heart rate. So if I don't get any symptoms back during this, I am looking at best case scenario of eight weeks. No weight training. Just this.
I cried a lot when I saw the reality of this. I mean, I am happy to have a plan. I am happy that it seems to be working. I am excited that maybe in a couple of weeks I will be able to sloooowly jog. Once I get into the 160s heart rate zone I think I can jog. (I have a very high heart rate in general) But it seemed daunting, it seemed like a sad mountain to climb, after I just got down conquering a mountain, the peak of staying positive and not surviving two and a half months of total rest but THRIVING during it.
I've done so well! I did all my homework and then some. I am a Better Person. I am Humble. I Learned My Lesson! Do I get my reward yet?
But of course it doesn't work out that way. Or not quite. I am very sure, however, that I will carry these lessons on with me permanently. I see so many errors in the ways I used to think. I was always judging people. I never stopped to think,
maybe they had a story. Maybe they deserved benefit of the doubt. Compassion.
I forgot to be grateful. I don't mean I didn't appreciate what I had/have/will have. I forgot to be Endlessly Grateful. I mean, truly, truly grateful. I always knew doing the things I loved, like running and exercising, was a gift, but I didn't know it was also a responsibility. I'm not sure what that really means, right now. Good thing I have more down time to find out.

text: 17 February 2012 archive See all show photos STEFANO PILATI took his final bow at the house of Yves Saint Laurent this evening, if not in such an emotional moment as was Raf Simons' goodbye at Jil Sander last week in Milan, at least the standing ovation he received confirmed the affection felt for him within his industry. Long term YSL matriarch Catherine Deneuve was there to grant her approval, as well as Paris' A-lister of the moment Katy Perry, François Pinault and Salma Hayek and Rosario Dawson – this was determinedly the witnessing of a star going out. Nicolas Ghesquière was also there, as if to bring rumours to boiling point about who is in line to take the reins next – despite former Dior Homme designer Hedi Slimane being widely expected to end up at YSL. Having received mixed reviews during his tenure as creative director of the house since 2004, Pilati is credited with having produced some triumphant moments there, not least in managing to win over the founder of the house himself who - having retired in 2002 and before he died in 2008 – expressed mixed, but generally approving, opinions of Pilati's work and certainly let it be known that it was more appropriate than that of his predecessor, Tom Ford, had been. Born in Milan in 1965 and with a CV that cites Cerrutti, Giorgio Armani, Prada and Miu Miu before being credited with having brought YSL back into the black, the designer produced a final collection that was tougher than before, as if to make a final, unapologetic mark on the house. Tailoring was key, with smart coats nipped in by leather belts featuring exaggerated, rounded shoulders and more leather at the collar and cuff - it was elegant and modern, with cropped, roomy jackets and sharply tailored trousers worn high on the waist and cut above the ankle giving a nod to the Eighties heyday of YSL, while an black all-in-one tuxedo paid homage to the house's Seventies fame. Cape coats and leather tunic tops of purple or green leather had an austerity that eliminated a romance we've seen from Pilati before, while mirrored Perspex heels were eye-catching, if difficult to walk in – giving a more aggressive, though still stylish, feel to the show. Chainmail featured heavily for backless dresses in green in purple that were elegantly constructed, or the lapels of black jackets, or a pencil skirt worn beneath another tunic of cream leather and, just as things were threatening to venture too far from the YSL roots, there appeared a calla lily motif embroidered in black silk onto black wool trousers; in glittering relief on black leather; in purple silk on the wide collar of a black coat or in solid silver wound around the neck in a gorgeous neck piece. It neatly brought romance back into the equation and, symbolic both of triumphant trumpets sounding and even the resurrection of Christ, it implied all sorts of potential stories to an audience hungry to know what is going to happen next in the soap opera that is Paris fashion. "I thought he went out on a high," Vogue's Fran Burns said afterwards. "Stefano is so loved and has really established his own voice at YSL and has created a legacy of memorable work. It's been a great time for the house with him there." SEE THE YVES SAINT LAURENT SHOW ARCHIVE Dolly Jones Continue reading Back to top

Anthony Domol
Contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Anthony Domol is a new meteorologist at KTXS News. This is his first job in meteorology and in broadcasting. He will be working on weekends and eventually mornings in the upcoming months. He comes to work for us all the way from Farmington Hills, Michigan, a northern suburb of Detroit.
Anthony initially went to school at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, and received a bachelor's degree in Education. He then interned for a full year teaching a 4th grade classroom. Ever since he was a very young boy, though, Anthony had a big time passion for weather and decided he was going to take action on it. He immediately went back to school after his teaching internship and he enrolled at Valparaiso University in Indiana spending three years achieving a second bachelor's degree in Meteorology. During his time at Valparaiso, Anthony interned at WGN-TV in Chicago with Chief Meteorologist Tom Skilling. He also worked a second internship closer to home at WJBK-TV FOX 2 Detroit with Chief Meteorologist Rich Luterman.
Anthony grew to love meteorology through his fascination with snow and winter weather systems. He also enjoys tracking a good severe weather event as he was part of a 10 day tornado chase in the nation's midsection during the spring semester of his first year at Valparaiso. Anthony has found the start of the career that he has always considered to be his dream.
In his spare time, Anthony takes a lot of pride in staying physically fit. He enjoys running and lifting weights and playing a whole variety of sports including basketball, golf, and ping-pong. He also loves watching college football, baseball, and tennis. He heavily pulls for his Michigan State Spartans and is a huge Detroit Tigers and Lions fan.

My traffic dropped recently in the last week. The most recent change was when I moved the entire server too another server. Could that affect my seo some how? What could have possibly happened? My main keywords for my website seem to be in the same rank, but I am getting less traffic from those keyword for some reason. Any ideas?
Rank does not relate to traffic. For example, you could be ranked 5th for "snow shoes" all year, but the traffic during the winter would be more than in the summer. That's an extreme example, but the point is that rank does not relate to traffic. If you've got Google's webmaster tools set up you might be able to get a better idea of what the traffic is on the query itself. Feel free to comment if you need more info, cheers!
RE: "The most recent change was when I moved the entire server too another server. Could that affect my seo some how?" Yes, it does, and would -- though how much is unknown. Since your rank didn't change, it must have not been a major factor.
A simple logic. Just because no body visits your webpage like they used too, does not mean your website is not better to appear in top rank. So... I don't think traffic and rank are related.

This question already has an answer here:
I was hoping to create a custom proof environment where along with the qed symbol it also mentions what was the claim that was proved. I thought the following would work:
{\vspace{1ex}\noindent{\em Pf.}\hspace{0.5em}}%
{\hfill{\tiny \qed (#1)}\vspace{1ex}}
I thought
\begin{myproof}{Claim 42} ..\end{myproof} would work but it doesn't. After some googling I figured that it was because the argument is not passed on to
Is there any fix to this? Or is this just bad TeX?
PS: FWIW, I was writing down a proof and had a small claim inside. The QED on the claim was a bit misleading that the proof of the Theorem was done. So this seemed like a natural(?) thing to do.

U.S. Prods Iraq to Stop Arms Going to Syria
Secretary of State John Kerry, on a surprise one-day visit to Baghdad, pressed Iraqi officials Sunday to cut off the flow of Iranian arms to the Syrian government and warned that future American aid to Iraq could be at risk if it doesn't.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's willingness to confront Tehran over its support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, U.S. officials said, has emerged as a crucial litmus test for U.S.-Iraqi relations a decade after Washington toppled strongman Saddam Hussein.
The U.S.'s influence in Baghdad, and its leverage over Mr. Maliki, appears to be dwindling as the Obama administration prepares to shrink its diplomatic and security presence in Iraq to around 5,000 people by the end of 2013 from over 16,000.
Iran, meanwhile, has emerged as perhaps Mr. Maliki's closest regional ally as the Shiite-dominant governments in Baghdad and Tehran share a growing alarm about the largely Sunni insurgency that is seeking to overthrow Mr. Assad.
The Obama administration shares these concerns and believes that some of the Syrian rebels have direct links to al Qaeda's leadership in both Pakistan and Iraq. As a result, the U.S. has so far refused to supply arms directly to Mr. Assad's opponents, despite growing pressure from Washington's Middle East allies to do so.
Iraqi analysts said Sunday that the U.S.'s often contradictory position on Syria has undermined Washington's hopes of gaining Mr. Maliki's cooperation.
"What clout have they got? I don't know," said Ghassan Attiyah, an Iraqi political commentator, referring to the U.S.'s leverage over Baghdad. "The presence of Kerry in Baghdad is very vital. The Americans should use their soft power to keep al-Maliki holding the stick in the middle."
Iraq's government offered no public commitment Sunday following Mr. Kerry's visit to more directly challenge Iran. In a potentially telling sign, no Iraqi official appeared alongside the U.S. secretary of state at his Baghdad news conference.
Senior U.S. officials traveling with Mr. Kerry said on Sunday that American intelligence continues to see a steady flow of Iranian airplanes transiting Iraq's airspace for Syria. Iraqi officials say the planes are delivering humanitarian supplies, but U.S. officials alleged that they are carrying military supplies for Mr. Assad's security forces.
Obama administration officials have pressed Baghdad for more than a year to conduct regular inspections of the Iranian planes, but say they have only succeeded twice since last July in gaining Iraq's cooperation.
U.S. officials said Sunday that Iraqi inspectors said they failed to find Iranian arms during either of these inspections.
Mr. Kerry told reporters in Baghdad that Iranian arms supplies are fueling the civil war in Syria and only heightening the potential for the conflict spreading into Iraq.
U.S. lawmakers were also closely monitoring the issue of Iranian over flights and could move to block Washington's assistance to Iraq, which totaled $1.7 billion during the 2012 fiscal year.
"I made it very clear to the prime minister that the over flights from Iran are, in fact, helping to sustain President Assad and his regime," Mr. Kerry said. "I also made it clear to him that there are members of Congress and people in America who are increasingly watching what Iraq is doing."
Iraqi officials and commentators said Mr. Maliki pressed Mr. Kerry for the U.S. to take more aggressive steps to insure that radical Sunni Islamists don't seize power in Damascus.
U.S. and Iraqi counter-terrorism officials have increased joint operations in recent weeks aimed at preventing al Qaeda fighters from crossing the border from Iraq into Syria, and vice versa, said senior U.S. officials.
The Central Intelligence Agency, meanwhile, has ramped up intelligence sharing with moderate factions of the Syrian opposition in an attempt to marginalize the more radical elements. The U.S. has designated one of the Syrian rebel groups, the al-Nusra Front, as a terrorist organization because of its purported ties to al Qaeda.
Still, Iraqi officials said the U.S. actions have done little to assuage Mr. Maliki's fears. In recent weeks, al Qaeda in Iraq, believed to be based in Iraq's majority Sunni provinces, has claimed responsibility for two bombings in Baghdad that killed dozens of Iraqi civilians.
"Maliki will always try to say that what he is doing is trying to defend himself and Iraq from the unintended consequences of Syria," said Mr. Attiyah. "He would like to see from the Americans commitments that they will not let the Islamists in Syria have the upper hand."
Mr. Kerry also pressed Mr. Maliki to do more to assimilate Iraq's Sunni minority into the country's political system, said U.S. officials. The religious sect dominated Baghdad's political system and armed forces under Saddam Hussein. Mr. Kerry specifically pressed Iraq's government to push ahead with two provincial elections in Sunni-majority provinces that Mr. Maliki said he postponed for security reasons. Washington's top diplomat also urged the Iraqi leader to resolve lingering sectarian tensions over the Iraqi constitution, which Sunni politicians refused to support when it was voted into law in 2005.
"Democracy, I would say to our friends in Iraq, is about inclusion and about compromise," Mr. Kerry said. "If the Iraqi democratic experiment is to succeed, all Iraqis must work together so that they can come together as a nation."

Fire chief says search almost complete in Oklahoma; at least 24 killed (+videos)
MOORE, Okla. — The search for survivors and the dead is nearly complete in the Oklahoma City suburb that was smashed by a mammoth tornado, the fire chief said Tuesday.
Gary Bird said he's "98 percent sure" there are no more survivors or bodies to recover under the rubble in Moore, a community of 56,000 people.
His comments came after emergency crews spent much of the day searching the town's broken remnants for survivors of the twister that flattened homes and demolished an elementary school. The storm killed at least 24 people, including at least nine children.
Every damaged home has been searched at least once, Bird said. His goal is to conduct three searches of each location just to be sure. He was hopeful the work could be completed by nightfall, but the efforts were being hampered by heavy rain.
No additional survivors or bodies have been found since Monday night, Bird said.
Earlier in the day, the state medical examiner's office cut the estimated death toll by more than half. Gov. Mary Fallin vowed to account for every resident.
"We will rebuild, and we will regain our strength," said Fallin, who went on a flyover of the area and described it as "hard to look at."
Amy Elliott, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner, said she believes some victims were counted twice in the early chaos of the storm that struck Monday afternoon. Downed communication lines and problems sharing information with officers exacerbated the problem, she said.
"It was a very eventful night," Elliott said. "I truly expect that they'll find more today."
Authorities initially said as many as 51 people were dead, including 20 children.
New search-and-rescue teams moved in at dawn Tuesday, taking over from the 200 or so emergency responders who had worked all night. A helicopter shined a spotlight from above to aid in the search.
Many houses have "just been taken away. They're just sticks and bricks," the governor said, describing the 17-mile path of destruction.
More than 200 people have been treated at hospitals.
The National Weather Service said the tornado was an EF5 twister, the most powerful type, with winds of at least 200 mph.
The agency upgraded the tornado from an EF4 on the enhanced Fujita scale to an EF5 based on what a damage-assessment team saw on the ground, spokeswoman Keli Pirtle said Tuesday.
The weather service says the tornado's path was 17 miles long and 1.3 miles wide.
Emergency crews were having trouble navigating neighborhoods because the devastation was so complete, and there are no street signs left standing, Fallin added.
Other search-and-rescue teams focused their efforts at Plaza Towers Elementary, where the storm ripped off the roof, knocked down walls and turned the playground into a mass of twisted plastic and metal as students and teachers huddled in hallways and bathrooms.
Seven of the nine dead children were killed at the school, but several students were pulled alive from under a collapsed wall and other heaps of mangled debris. Rescue workers passed the survivors down a human chain of parents and neighborhood volunteers. Parents carried children in their arms to a triage center in the parking lot. Some students looked dazed, others terrified.
Officials were still trying to account for a handful of children not found at the school who may have gone home early with their parents, Bird said Tuesday.

Are there any papers about possible trading strategies you can apply when you know where a large cluster of orders is located in the order-book?
These seem to fall in the liquidity-provisioning/hunting range of strategies, is this correct?
To search for "stop-hunting" I would search for stop orders and doing so on ssrn turned up the following:
But if you're looking for something that addresses what's in the body of the question then I'd search for something entirely different. When one knows there is a large cluster of orders in the order book, it means you're looking at limit orders and not stop orders as stop orders are never publicly disclosed. In that case you'd want to search for papers that deal with the order book, a quick search on ssrn turned up:
Usually a strategy that is looking at the order book will have a short time horizon and probably be close to if not hft in which case yes, they have something to do with liquidity provision as normally you're trying to offset imbalances. This paper using a unique data set shows that hft has mean reversion/imbalance offsetting strategies:
The academic term for this phenomenon is "predatory trading." Brunnermeier and Pederson (2005) wrote an entire paper on the topic, and you can also examine the references contained therein.
The paper is mostly theoretical, covering the consequences of predatory trading rather than how to do it (which seems to be what you're interested in). Judging from the examples in their introduction, I would say that typically one first has knowledge regarding the presence of others' stop-loss orders then they place predatory orders in response, rather than dedicated "stop-hunting".

Narrow your search
If you already own a Z-Wave gateway like Piper or SmartThings, this is a great switch to pick up. It performs well and it's a lot cheaper than others on the market.
The 2014 Honda Accord Plug-in keeps up with the competition in some ways, but the overall package lacks cohesion, and quirky features such as the right-side camera don't add much.
The Cel-Fi is an effective solution to extend T-Mobile or AT&T signal to where you couldn't get it before, but it's cost-prohibitive for homes and hence suitable mostly or business users.
Mercedes-Benz will bring 10 PHEVs to market by 2017. The C350e is one of the first.
With a built-in environmental sensors, smart USB ports, and promises of IFTTT-compatibility, these crowdfunded plugs could put some pressure on WeMo.
The FI9826P's unnecessarily tedious setup process, old-school Web interface and lack of push notifications seriously stunt this otherwise impressive Wi-Fi camera.
D-Link needs to partner with IFTTT and fix performance inconsistencies to match the versatility and convenience of Belkin's WeMo Switch and WeMo Insight Switch.
D-Link's latest Wi-Fi Smart Plug delivers Belkin WeMo Switch functionality for less.
The 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in vastly improves the flexibility and potential economy of the standard Prius formula with the simple addition of a power cable and larger, more efficient battery pack.
Analysis: The Mini NES isn't the only place you can get some of these classic video games -- but it's far and away the best overall value.

in face of delicious planned end of life, i'm trying to find an alternative solution for storing my bookmarks. This solution should have the following features :
- free (like Delicious)
- supports bookmark tagging (like Delicious)
- supports bookmark addition through bookmarklet (like Delicious)
- provides RSS feed for me, and each of my tags (like Delicious ... or at least I think)
- works well with Opera (like Delicious)
- has an easy to use user url (like Delicious ... as an example, here is mine : http://www.delicious.com/Riduidel)
- provides easy to manipulate tags urls (as an example, delicious allows http://www.delicious.com/Riduidel/bluetooth+wii which obviously filters bookmarks for bluetooth and wii ones)
- provides full text search on bookmarks (not like delicious)
- maybe snapshot of website
- maybe dead link detection/correction (using as an example http codes)
Do you know such a solution ? Thanks

Back in those days everything was in order and anyone who did otherwise would be tried or beat. Rosa Parks is a woman who became a rebel, a leader, an out spoken and courage individual that will be remembered for all time. Some call Rosa Parks the mother of the freedome movment because of what she did. So, what exactly Rosa Parks famous for? Well, she defied the law and went against athority by not giving up her seat on the bus to a white person who didn't have a seat. This is when racial segregation began it's end. So many people where started to stand up for their rights and in the end they won. Drawing Rosa Parks is a great way to say once again, NO and stand up for freedome. Don't be oppressed anymore, just life your lie in a harmonious manner. I will be back in a bit with more fun for you all. Peace out people.

KILLEEN (October 30, 2012) --- After surviving two gunshot wounds to his back in the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Christopher Royal started a support group called 32 Still Standing for the other survivors.
On Thursday Royal embarked on an 80-mile run from Killeen to Austin.
He'll arrive Monday at the steps of the Texas Capitol, the anniversary of the shootings at Fort Hood.
During his journey Royal said he'd be thinking back to that tragic day three years ago.
"All chaos broke out, there was a lot of gunfire and a lot of people scrambling to get away or even to stop the gunman but he was equipped and we couldn't get to him but we're here now," Royal said.
Royal's Wife, Maj. Stephanie Royal, is also a soldier at Fort Hood and said her husband has become a pillar of support for other soldiers in the area struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
"God's given him the opportunity to survive an incident such as this and he's like 'there's no way that I'm going to let this opportunity pass me by to do something here in Killeen where everything happened,' " Stephanie Royal said.
On Thursday Royal was set to stay the night in Florence and planned on picking up on the run early Friday morning.
Royal said he hopes to plan a run all the way to the White House in honor of the survivors by 2017.

I can only assume that you are referring to heuristic evaluation questions. Here is a great guide to conducting an evaluation: http://www.uxforthemasses.com/usability-reviews/
Here's a great list of Heuristic Evaluation Questions from the Society for Technical Communication's Usability and User Experience special interest group. They have some questions that help you evaluate discoverability as well as general usability concerns. None are explicit "is this item discoverable?" questions, but they cover the low-level concerns that make up a discoverable interface such as

What are some good examples of jounce, the fourth derivative of position, in the non-physics arena?
The reason I ask is that A) it's already difficult for a lay to visualize it in the physical arena and B) you never hear of too many examples past the second derivative outside of said physical arena.
Jerk is relatively easy to perceive when one slams on the breaks and then lets them go, and the best way to describe jounce is an amusement park ride since you're always being jerked around.
Outside of physics, it's a little hard to come by, so I'd like to see if there are other ways of perceiving higher order derivatives in other disciplines.
Many thanks in advance!

Staff Reports
Iowa DNR
It's well after dark when a vehicle slowly drives along a gravel road. Inside, both driver and passenger, with spotlight and binoculars in hand, are looking for deer.
Normally this would set off alarm bells for the local game warden. But in this instance, the game warden could be in the driver's seat.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources conducts its nighttime spotlight survey for deer and raccoons each spring before trees leaf out. The survey purpose is to estimate deer densities and count raccoons, coyotes, house cats, jackrabbits, bobcats, badgers, skunks, opossums, foxes or other furbearers along defined routes across Iowa.
"The data is used to follow trends in deer numbers," said Chris Jennelle, biometrician with the DNR's Wildlife Bureau. "It is used for tracking as an index in conjunction with other information like harvest surveys and the bow hunter survey. The spotlight survey has been completed for decades and is an important element of our management plan."
This year, the survey may shed some light on the impact of last year's EHD outbreak on the deer herd. "In conjunction with information such as hunter harvest, this survey will help us gauge where our deer herd is after the outbreak," Janelle said.
Each county has two randomly selected 20-25 mile long routes that are driven when the wind is less than 15 miles per hour, there is no fog or rain, and temperatures are above freezing. It takes 4 to 6 hours to complete each survey.

I understand how particles with certain masses can form to make atoms, which create solidity in objects due to Pauli's Exclusion Principle and what have you. These particles actually have mass and to a certain extent clearly would produce solidity in objects.
But how can particles as closed strings (which I assume would be massless, please correct me if I'm wrong) still produce solid objects?

Free Breast Pumps And The Cost Of Health Care
Health insurance plans now have to cover the full cost of breast pumps for nursing mothers. This is the result of a provision in the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), and the new rule took effect for many people at the start of this year.
It's led to a boom in the sale of the pumps, which can cost hundreds of dollars.
Yummy Mummy, a little boutique on New York's Upper East Side, has suddenly become a health care provider/online superstore. The company has been hiring like crazy, and just opened an online call center and a warehouse in Illinois. Yummy Mummy even hired somebody to talk to customers' health insurance companies.
And new moms now seem more likely to splurge on fancy new breast pumps. Caroline Shany, a Yummy Mummy customer, spent her own money to buy a breast pump for her first baby. She may buy another one now because insurance will pick up the tab.
"Why not?" she says.
Weird things happen when you take price out of the equation for consumers. For one thing, they stop looking for the best price. But even though breast pumps are free for new moms, somebody has to pay for them.
"Health insurance premiums are driven by how much we spend on health care," says Harvard health economist Katherine Baicker. "The more things that are covered by health insurance policies, the more premiums have to rise to cover that spending."
Advocates of requiring insurance companies to pay for breast pumps say that the measure will pay for itself in the long run. Babies that are breast fed tend to have fewer health problems, and paying for breast pumps should mean more babies are breast fed.
Whether that happens may depend partly on how the new rules are implemented. Insurers are still trying to figure out whether to pay for extra-fancy breast pumps, or just basic models.

When shopping for your next gorgeous party dress, there are a lot of stylish options to consider. First off, you want your personal outfit to convey not only major elements of pure chicness, but to also look fresh, keeping its pulse on the latest hot trends while still remaining timeless and classic. And while shopping the sale racks might land you a hot deal, maybe even more than one dress for less, there can still be that underlying feeling of "shopper's discontent". After all, every girl wants first dibs on the newest must-have collections, even before others get their hands on CLV's fashion treats. In this New Arrivals section, you can certainly score your next "hot off the rack" evening gown or short dress, that's guaranteed to turn heads!
LACE. Not sure if we'd call this a trend per se, as this look manifests all divine elements of timeless elegance and sheer class. No matter what the season, the lace homecoming dress look is a reigning style favorite that's here to stay - and for good reason, of course. From sassy short dresses to long and sleek evening gowns, lace adds texture and decadence to a dress, while enhancing its beautiful femininity.
NEUTRALS. While bold and colorful dresses are still a favorite for young ladies, neutral hues convey a certain versatility that can transition from season to season, and work well with for many ages. The subtle tones of greys, taupes, blush pinks, smokey charcoals, champagnes, etc., are not only easy on the eyes but complement many complexions beautifully. And for a balanced contrast of sparkle, you can always accessorize a neutral dress with glitter platform sandals, a box clutch bag and jewelry to match.
SHORTIES. There's just something special about an on-trend sassy short dress, for Homecoming, Prom and virtually any special occasion. For one, you can definitely look ultra chic while showing off your moves on the dance floor with ease, and two, you can wear a short dress for a semi-formal event, a girl's night out party, and even more formal occasions such as a guest of wedding dress, birthday bash dress and more.
ILLUSION. For irresistible elements of style and class, with hints of sultry, acquiring an illusion dress for your wardrobe is so on point, no matter what season! And if you're a gal who loves that classic "LDB" look (fashion code for little or long black dress), finding a look with cutout illusion details will amplify your next party dress towards major heights of style. And if you like a little shimmer or sparkle, embellished beading around the bodice is always a great complement to an illusion dress.
At CLV.com, there's a dress to match every woman's style preferences. Keep checking back at the new arrivals section, as we continue to roll in new dresses in a range of trends, colors, shapes and lengths destined to make your party even more unforgettable!

I wondering how to prove $X$, $Y$, $g(Y)$ is a Markov Chain in That Order?
$X$, $Y$, $Z$ is a Markov Chain in That Order (denoted $X\to Y\to Z$) if $$p(x,y,z) = p(x)\cdot p(y\mid x)\cdot p(z\mid y).$$ A property of a Markov Chain is if $X\to Y\to Z$, then $$ p(xz\mid y) = p(x\mid y)\cdot p(z\mid y).$$
Setting $Z = g(Y)$, I must show: $p(x,y,g(y)) = p(x)\cdot p(y\mid x)\cdot p(g(y)\mid y)$.
I believe I must simplify $p(g(y)\mid y)$ somehow, but I am only aware of conditional expectation identity where $E[g(Y)\mid Y] = g(Y)$ and $E[g(Y)\mid Y=y] = g(y)$.
Thanks for your assistance.

I looked through the questions and didn't see this one so hopefully it's not a duplicate. I often have ideas of stories I want to write and I work on outlines or write down elements and I know what I need to do is actually sit down and write. It's the only way I'll actually improve. The problem is that I can't seem to concentrate enough to write. I don't have a lot of time either but I could make the time but even when I do I end up wasting it because I'm to busy worrying about other things. I've tried relaxation techniques and prescribed medication but both of these seem to take away my creativity. Is there any advice or techniques that can help me?
I wouldn't recommend medication, as it seems that the concentration issues are specific to writing and these are usually short term solutions with long-term negative effects/side-effects. But perhaps the following aspects, dealing with organization, structure, and anxiety, might help:
I'd recommend Silvia's "How to Write a Lot" (Silvia, P. J. (2007). How to Write a Lot. Washington D.C.: APA.). It's written for academic writing, but I think that most of the tips are also helpful for any kind of writing. Chapter 2 deals with "Specious Barriers to Writing a Lot":
He manages to examine these "barriers" and pretty much obliterate them -- mostly by recommending said scheduling and sticking to it. I'd try this first, because having time slot allocated for writing can really help to actually write.
It it is still an issue, for me, most of the problems with concentration while writing (i.e., if I have managed the steps above) are due to a lack of structure. Once that is clear, writing goes more or less smoothly. So, perhaps you might invest more time in the outlining process (prior to writing, including capturing ideas to have enough material to work with). For me, this step comes prior to writing, but is part of the writing process.
More about outlining here (links to my blog):
There is also the anxiety that the writing might be bad -- self-doubt is devastating here, especially if you love writing. Personally, allowing myself to be a beginner (even as an adult) has helped me -- I don't expect perfection. The good thing with writing is that you can revise your drafts, and as Lamott said (in Lamott, A. (1994). bird by bird. New York: Anchor Books. also a great book), allow yourself to write a "shitty first draft". You improve it in the second version, and make it good in the third. Take in mind that you alone decide if and when to seek feedback, and make sure that you get good feedback, i.e., feedback that actually improves your current and future work.
Try Morning Pages and/or an Artist Date. Relaxation techniques likely won't help because writing is not relaxing, it's being highly alert in an intellectual sense. Medication, in my understanding, should be used to treat an illness, so unless you actually have an illness, they won't help either. Since you are distracted by worrying about other things, try to get those things out of your system by writing Morning Pages about them – or simply allow yourself to write them down as they occur to you during writing, and then return to whatever you were going to write. Also, are you sure you know what you want to write about? An Artist Date can help you to legitimately put all other things on hold and get some clarity for what it is you really want to write. Basically, you want your writing to be so important that the things you worry about are no longer relevant and don't disturb you. This might mean you have to adress those other things first, at least the most urgent ones, so that the task next on your internal priority list is your writing.
