You work too hard at losing weight to let the weekend blow your diet. Stay on track — and still have fun — with these smart-eating tips
{cke_protected}{C}%3C!%2D%2Dsmart_paging_filter%2D%2D%3EWeekend Proof Your Diet
Your 3-Day Game Plan
Welcome to the weekend, when you kick off your shoes, pull on your jeans — and fling your diet out the window! After watching what you eat all week, it's natural to want to indulge a little. The problem is that once you loosen the reins, it's easy to lose control. I've seen people erase in two days every ounce of progress they made all week!
Taking a step back for every step forward isn't just frustrating. It can lead to your giving up on slimming down. Eventually the yo-yoing can screw up your metabolism and make it even harder to drop pounds To keep that from happening, try these stay-strong strategies for every situation, guaranteed to get you to Monday with your diet intact.
FRIDAY: Happy Hour After Work
You're in the mood to unwind, but the more you drink, the more you munch. Alcohol makes you hungry because it lowers your blood sugar. Plus, it lifts your inhibitions, so you'll eat just about anything.
Don't order your usual. You're more likely to have a second round when you're drinking your fave. To keep it to one serving, get something you can nurse for the time you're there For example, if you guzzle white wine, order a light beer instead.
Go solo. Sharing a pitcher of margaritas with your friends may be more economical, but you're better off, calorie-wise, ordering by the glass. That way you can't lose sight of how much you're downing because someone is constantly topping you off.
Cover up the snacks. If you seem to be magnetically drawn to that bowl of spicy nuts, drape a napkin over it. Even if you end up sneaking a few bites, you'll nibble 40 percent less, according to a recent study. Inserting an extra step is always smart because it slows you down.
FRIDAY: Dinner Out with Girlfriends
You feel like a party pooper picking at a salad. "Research shows that women eat similarly when they're together, possibly as a way of relating to each other," says Sarah-Jeanne Salvy, PhD, assistant professor of psychology at the State University of New York at Buffalo. So if your posse is chowing down, chances are you will too.
Find a designated dieter. The good news is that the influence works both ways: You'll consume less if you're with light eaters. "Having just one fellow calorie-conscious person can really help you stay the course, Sit next to each other for extra support.
Lead the charge. To avoid being swayed by someone's pasta Alfredo calorie bomb, be the first to order. Make a healthy choice up front.
Cut yourself off. Once your entree arrives, switch to a nonalcoholic beverage. You don't need the extra calories to wash down your food
SATURDAY: Doing Chores at Home
When you're home, your day has less structure and it's a quick trip to the kitchen. Eating is how we deal with boredom as well as a way to procrastinate.
Serve here, eat there. Put your snack on a plate and take it to another room. Having to get up and walk to the kitchen to get more food interrupts mindless eating.
Snack smarter. Adding a bit of healthy fat to your favorite nosh will fill you up faster. Partial to pretzels? Eat a handful with a dollop of hummus or peanut butter.
Make it a mini meal. Grazing when you're seriously hungry is counter-productive: You'll eat more calories than you realize and still not feel satisfied. Better to feed your growling stomach half a turkey sandwich on whole-grain bread and some carrots; it's the same amount of calories as a few bites of a protein bar (around 150) and much healthier.
SATURDAY: A Friend's Dinner Party
Being a guest at someone's house can pose a real dilemma for a dieter. Not only do you have zero control over the menu, but some hosts are offended when you turn down the food they offer.
Don't arrive ravenous. It's tempting to skip lunch in anticipation of a big meal, but that will lead to overeating, especially if dinner is served later than you expect. Instead, stick to your regular lunch and afternoon snack and you'll find it easier not to eat too many canapes.
Stake out the salad bowl. Is the main dish something sinful, like a 40-pound lasagna? Fortunately, people usually also serve salad,So fill the majority of your plate with leafy greens.
Learn to fend off food pushers. Sometimes saying "No thanks" isn't enough to stop an insistent host. The best way to derail her: Tell her that you can't possibly have another bite, but if she is offering leftovers, you would love to take some home.
SATURDAY: Up Late Watching a Movie
It's past your usual bedtime, and you're on the prowl in the pantry. If it's four hours since dinner, you're going to be hungry. Your body is looking for a quick energy boost. Here come the midnight munchies!
Do crunches. When you've got a hankering for chips, a banana isn't going to cut it. But chomping on something equally noisy will. Crisp veggies like carrots, sugar snap peas, and jicama make an especially satisfying sound. Or keep crackling with light microwave popcorn; three cups will cost you less than 100 calories.
Save the Oscar winner for prime time. Watch a show that's really engrossing and you'll eat up to 44 percent more than if you weren't distracted, a new study found. When you're not paying attention to the way a food tastes or smells, the sensory satiety center in your brain isn't triggered, and you'll keep eating. So watch that half-hour sitcom on your DVR instead.
SUNDAY: Big Blowout Brunch
During the week, breakfast is typically fast, healthy, and 300 calories, tops. But a leisurely weekend brunch is filled with decadent menu options. Just a bagel and cream cheese can pack a whopping 600 calories. And that's without the lox.
Think of it as lunch. You can still have midday eggs. Just don't let them be your first bite of the day. If you wait until late morning to eat, you up the chance of overdoing it because you'll be so hungry. To prevent a blood sugar dip, rise and reach for a slow-to-digest, lighter pre-brunch meal, like nonfat Greek yogurt sprinkled with berries and sliced almonds.
Share the special stuff. If you've been waiting all week for those golden chocolate chip pancakes, don't deny yourself. Order a plate for the table and something more satisfying for yourself, like an omelet with vegetables and a bit of cheese. A few indulgent bites will take care of your craving.
Don't linger. Part of the reason you eat more with a group is that you're sitting at the table longer. When you finish, have your plate removed. If the gang isn't ready to break up after everyone has stopped eating, suggest moving outside to a nearby bench or going for a walk. Whatever you do, don't order more coffee. That's when you start grazing.
Sunday Night Scramble
Where did the weekend go? You've still got chores to do, e-mails to write, maybe work to catch up on. Usually around now, after all your diet lapses, you feel like throwing in the towel. You may think you'll eat what you want and start fresh tomorrow. Don't!!
Seek heat. You can't scarf down something piping hot, so go slow with a steamy snack, like a chopped-up apple microwaved and sprinkled with cinnamon. Or drink some sugar-free hot cocoa or a cup of tea.
Surrender sweetly. Is that pint of Ben & Jerry's in the freezer calling your name? Now is not the time to see if you can eat only two spoonfuls of New York Super Fudge Chunk. To make it more likely that you'll keep things under control, reach for an individually wrapped treat, such as a piece of dark chocolate or a low-fat ice cream sandwich.
Hit the sack. Sometimes people eat in response to exhaustion, turning to brownies when what they really need is rest. Consider calling it a night and waking up early Monday morning to finish whatever you have left to do. Tomorrow, after all, is a new day

An introduction to static code analysis
What, why and how
So, by some misfortune, usually instigated by "management" or by "tradition", you are stuck with a C/C++ program to maintain. Not only do you get the positives of speed, you also get the negatives of the lack of memory management.
How do you know what is lurking underneath the templates and calls to new and malloc? How do you know if that program is leaking memory or doing other dangerous things? In the past, you didn't. You could only scan the lines looking for errors or use tools like clint or valgrind.
Now, however, there are software tools that can help you to catch these kinds of errors before running the program. These tools are based on a technology called static code analysis and in this series, we will explore what this technology is, what tools are available, and what are its latest and future trends.
To illustrate the remarkable power of static code analysis we will use examples involving memory management and the use of pointer constructs in C/C++ since these are arguably one of the most error prone and hard to debug features in wide-spread programming languages. At this point, some might suggest that "no one writes in C/C++ anymore".
While garbage collected languages have become a large part of the programming marketplace, interestingly, C/C++ is still largely used in many critical domains: banking, embedded (automobiles), avionics, networking, operating systems, etc. Even when using a garbage collected language, they are often based on a Virtual Machine written in C/C++ which may itself have memory leaks or other errors.
Thanks to static analysis you can now automatically find those pesky mistakes (you know that your code is always perfect, right?). How does it work? First, a static analysis tool is a program which parses then analyses you source code. This means that in your toolchain the static analyser is an additional compiler. It does not produce binaries as such but produces an intermediate representation which is more suited than the source code to be analysed.
There are a variety of methods for analysis of your program: denotational semantics, axiomatic semantics, operational semantics, abstract interpretation, and separation logic. These rely on Formal Methods or complex mathematical/logical proofs against your code. We will cover these different methods in the next instalment. Suffice it to say now, one or more of these methods could be used to interrogate your code for different kinds of errors.
Depending on the methods used, as noted above, static analysis can take anywhere from a few minutes to much longer. Thus you must balance the time that analysis can take and the amount of time that you have available in your project. However, it is always a good idea to have one last run before sending code into production, no matter how long that might take.
An example will illustrate this process. Suppose you have a program like so:
#include <stdlib.h>
int *example1();
void alloc0(int **, int);
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
int *example1() {
int *i;
alloc0(&i, 0); // ok
alloc0(&i, 1); // ok, malloc
alloc0(&i, 1); // leak: i overwritten
return i;
void alloc0(int **i, int b) {
if (b) *i = malloc(sizeof (int));
else *i = 0;
As you can see in the foregoing contrived example, there is an error in the example1() function which has to do with pointer manipulation. Essentially, i is overwritten without first freeing the memory allocated in the second call to alloc0().
This kind of bug is easy to miss and can cause massive problems in long running programs or in programs which are critical to your infrastructure. What a static analyser will do with your code is attempt to find some of the errors like the one above before you run the code (bug catching), therefore avoiding the bug when your client is using your software.
However, this is not the end of the story. Catching some bugs is typical of static analysers based on static code analysis 1.0. Researchers in the field have recently introduced a new capability which they believe will revolutionise the static code analysis arena: the ability to prove the absence of bugs.
This represents a dramatic leap forward in the technology, and some experts in the field have already named this as static analysis 2.0 (using the metaphor of Web 2.0 vs Web 1.0). To appreciate the difference, an analyser from the static analysis 2.0 category is effectively a "bug eradicator" able to eliminate all the bugs and showing an evidence that the code has been depurated. On the contrary, tools in the static analysis 1.0 category would be only able to find some existing bugs.
As you can see, knowing where subtle bugs like memory leaks and other pointer errors are is extremely valuable. Static analysis of your C/C++ code helps removing some of the most troublesome errors imaginable. It also takes away from the tedium of having to look at sometimes quite subtle errors such as memory allocation errors. In the next part of our series, we will show some of the maths behind the scenes.

On Tuesday night's episode, America sent home Trevin Hunte, leaving only Nicholas David, Cassadee Pope and Terry McDermott in the running for next week's finale.
America, I understand. I really do. Trevin being constantly praised was getting old, and quick, and there's only so many times you can hear an inspirational song being sung by an angel before you lose interest.
So, now we have Nicholas, Cassadee and Terry left, and I may have to eat my words: at the very, very beginning of Season 3, I wanted nothing more than for a woman to win it all. Then, we met Cassadee, and I'm sorry America, I still do not like her. I'm trying, though, I promise.
So let's take a look at what happened last night.
Season 2 alum RaeLynn, Chris Mann and Juliet Simms all returned for performances of their original songs, with varying degrees of success.
Juliet Simms, with "Wild Child," sang among caged dancers, sounding vaguely like Gwen Stefani and a banshee, and I remember sadly, oh, I used to like you.
RaeLynn's original song, "Boyfriend," was about the nicest nastiest thing I have ever heard; sample lyric: "I want your boyfriend. Just thought you should know."
I think if RaeLynn ever said this to me, I would punch her square in the flower she tucks into her hair because 1) I'm pretty sure I'm taller than her (this never happens to me) and it's actually physically feasible, and 2) You are not benefitting anyone by saying you want my boyfriend. You ain't getting' him.
Chris Mann's original song, "Roads," was off his new album of the same name, but OH WAIT THERE'S MORE: He has TWO new albums. Chris, like any self-respecting mainstream crooner, has released a Christmas album, because there aren't enough already in the world. Tis the season.
Oh, the contestants sang, too:
In what's probably my favorite song of the season, Cassadee and Terry teamed up on "Little Talks," by Of Monsters and Men, the song that has been on every mix tape playlist I have made since I first heard it earlier this year. So, I'm admittedly biased.
But it was so pleasant to hear Terry sing something alternative and contemporary, and I was even THIS CLOSE to liking Cassadee (the two have good chemistry, what can I say) but then she tried to out-sing Terry. You don't mess with the little Scottish hobbit, Cassadee, sorry. (At least her dress was super cute?)
Nicholas David and Trevin Hunte took on Mariah Carey's "Hero," creating something beautiful and captivating out of a song (and artist) I normally would disregard. The two's voice complement each other so well — both have such soul!
Leftover thoughts:
Carson Daly, to Chris Mann: "You're like a real recording artist!" Don't so surprised, Carson, it's unbecoming.
Adam Levine, just keep wearing those suits forever.
Nicholas calls Trevin his little brother; specifically, "little brother, little brother, little brother." Awwwwwwww.
When asked who they would want to be stuck with a desert island:
Terry: "Me. I have no problem talking to myself."
Adam: "Christina. We could make a music super-baby."
Trevin: "Nicholas. I've heard he eats trees."
Nicholas: "I will not disclose that information."

Ian Martin takes a trip to Milan Furniture Fair's smart periphery
Bit blurry after my annual tour of the Milan Furniture Fair's smart periphery. I never want to see another amuse-bouche in my life, even if it is a latticed quail microhub designed by eminent artist-engineer Santiago Calatrava.
Oh, and spare me the chippy jealousy. Like you wouldn't hang out behind the scenes with some of the world's top 'furnauteurs' looking at really good beta stuff that's not even on the internet yet.
Not everyone can afford a £4,000 chair. But some people can. That's why international salons are so tiresome and vulgar. And why I prefer to stay far from the madding crowd, flopping about in private, socialising with mercurial furniture creators on their mercurial furniture. To wit …
THE PEEPELDOKKER. Not so much a 'sofa for living in' as an entirely new way of 'living in a sofa'. Crafted from a wood and textile melange devised by New Sofist wunderkind Shep Witters for high-end sofa wranglers DFS Lenin, the Peepeldokker pushes at the boundaries of extendable sedentary environments with notions such as 'proximal TV' and 'informally planal dining interventions'. Where does sofa end and life begin? Perhaps it's easier to ask 'where does sofa begin?' It begins here. At either end.
WHIMCLOUD. Created by radical collective The Chaise Longuepigs for furnifacturer Bangi, this 'post-urban sitting opportunity' will be the talk of next season. The version I saw, though not entirely safe to sit on, was a marvel of theory, material and process.
Moulded from ultralight opaque monosodium carbonate, it resembles a giant prawn cracker. Most importantly – in contrast to traditional furniture – the Whimcloud encourages the user to question their surroundings. 'There doesn't seem too much happening here, apart from this giant prawn cracker. Where am I? How is it even floating in the air? How do I get on it? Will it collapse?' And so on. Exquisite.
SITUATION COMEDY. The thinking behind this reimagining of the chair, by legendary 'digital hermit' Klaus 72 for Hairy Father Spatials, is deceptively simple. Turn an ordinary chair upside down. Much more interesting, suddenly. Now find a way of plausibly seating someone on it. Put the upside down chair on another chair the right way up and add a cushion.
'Yes, a solution, but a solipsistic one …' Klaus insists. 'One chair alone is a social abomination. Several upside-down chairs together, however, may form a nodular cluster, all facing in different directions.
'Twenty years ago people all stared into the corner of the room at the TV screen. Ha ha ha, idiots. These days everyone's doing something different, though admittedly probably all looking at a tiny screen in their hand, so with SitUation COMedy you could maybe have the chairs above and below one another to bring people more into one another's eyeline, or maybe a miniature Ferris wheel, any of that cocaine left?'
COLLABYRINTH. This is more of a project than a product, which makes it hugely desirable in the context of a furniture showcase. If indeed the pure energy of furniture may theoretically be contained by ANY case, however accomplished the theoretical joinery.
Collabyrinth brings together 30 of the industry's hottest young designers, each contributing a thought to the notional furnituristic narrative and then passing it on.
Thus a simple beanbag-with-a-twist mutates, evolving into a complex 'resting matrix'. As one of the very few non-furniturians to have been vouchsafed a glimpse of what animateur Bib Funnel is calling 'dialectic consequences in serial, stuffed form', I urge you to secure your own glimpse as soon as possible. Assuming you have, like me, VIP access to this kind of thing. Otherwise, I think there's a documentary on one of the Living channels later this year.
RISING STAIR. By MC Shroomblagger for upscale furniturologists Stannah & Sisters. Wow. This is so far beyond furniture, it's as if furniture has travelled through some kind of furniture wormhole, to emerge into another galaxy of possibilities. Welcome to a world of brutal taxonomy and meta-furnitural backspin. Imagine an environment where you're permanently going upstairs, yet stationary. Exactly. Wow.
DIE NACHTREKLEINE. Perhaps my favourite future furniture, caught in that inspirational gleam between thought and word. Although still very much at the pre-conceptual stage, I'm confident that someone somewhere will be about to think of an industrial form, digitally milled, with a soft overlay and organic colours.
Here's to the futurniture!

On Monday, October 2 Governor Phil Scott signed a proclamation designating October 2017 Farm to School Month in Vermont.
"I'd like to recognize how important the Farm to School program is to Vermont. Farm to school has always been a source of pride for our state, and that pride grows from the program as it gets stronger," said Gov. Scott. "We have $200,000, that's the most money we have ever had in this program...we continue to lead the nation in this program. Schools and childcare centers should reach out to us to apply for potential money." said Secretary Anson Tebbetts, Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets. This year, with the help of the Vermont Agency of Education and the Vermont Department of Health, the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets is pleased to announce the release of two new Farm to School grant opportunities for 2018. New this year, both Farm to School grant opportunities are available to childcare providers as well as schools! Click on the links below for the Requests for Applications. 1.

Sharon cooked supper for all Ray Shirley's family. Sharon bought and Malcolm cooked, but Sharon fixed his salad and rolls. All of Cyndi and Eddie's family didn't come, just them and Mende, Martha, Mark, Jay and Adrianne were here. It was a nice night.
New Year's Eve night Belinda, Gary and Nancy and Malcolm and me played "Phase 10" until a little before 12:00. Malcolm won both games.
I had to go to the wound center Friday. My foot is still not well.
We all met at Belinda's to watch the Cotton Bowl. Me, Malcolm, Hailey and James Michael. Gary and Nancy had to work. Belinda had Chili, sour cream and cheese, Jalepeno bites, cheese dip, and crackers, spreads and pies. We had a good meal, made better by "Ole Miss" win!
Susan and Ben, Kellie and three friends, Ryan Kellie, Ginger, Stephen, Wesley and C. J. brought in the New Year with James, Jimmy and Jacob at the Cotton Bowl with some friends at the Club House.
Saturday half of them spent the night at the Father Son Baseball Camp.
Pat Moody goes to the hospital next Monday. She is having surgery. Although they might find the "buzzy", she goes to the emergency room on January 19th. Her pacemaker has played out. She will have replacement surgery on the 20th.
James Shirley went to the Oxford Hospital on the 16th of January. He will have surgery on his back on January 17, 2009.
Katherine Grose had a heart attack last week. She is in the Oxford Hospital.
James Shirley had a growth removed from his back last week. It was a blackhead that had contacted another germ but not cancer.
Martha spoke of having a crowd in her Sunday School Class Sunday.
Keith Baker's class was just about full.
Only two people were absent in Sybil's Class.
I guess all Sunday School was well represented.
The singing was very good. Worship song was "As The Doer" and it sounded very good.
The congregational song after the choir sang was, "Awake My Soul", then everyone sang. All the songs were good.

McCarron a supporter of Northwestern union movement
The news that Northwestern football players have begun the process of trying to get recognized as a union was significant, but the natural question was who else would throw their support behind the movement.
Count AJ McCarron as part of that group.
MORE: NFL players respond to NW | Top 10 for 2014 | 73 schools, 73 iconic players
The former Alabama quarterback told USA Today's For The Win site that he's in favor of the Wildcats' move to secure union representation to better protect their interests.
"I think it's a good thing for college football for someone to step up and to try get more for the players," McCarron told the site. "I think eventually they need to do something like Coach Saban said (about athletes deserving greater compensation) ... there's so much money being made by the NCAA, by all these athletes.
"It's almost a somewhat bad deal the players aren't getting some of (the money) especially when the jerseys are getting sold, they're getting used for video games."
It may come off as somehwat surprising for McCarron to make these comments, given the button-downed nature of those around the Alabama football program. But as McCarron referenced, his own coach, the usually circumspect Saban, has voiced support in the past for greater compensation for college football players — not necessarily a complete shift to "paying" players, but at least providing some more money to cover costs that their scholarships don't pay for.
Plus, McCarron is no longer under the rules umbrella of either Alabama or the NCAA now that his eligiblity has expired, so he's essentially free to say whatever he wants without much risk (except for NFL teams being turned off, which is exceedingly unlikely in this case). Interestingly, though, while the Northwestern players are merely seeking to secure long-term medical protection at this juncture, McCarron went beyond support for that relatively modest goal in his remarks, indicating he's in favor of the more audacious demand of greater compensation.
"Personally I think it's good for college athletes — hopefully down the line they'll start getting paid somewhere," McCarron said.

Robert LaPenta's 3-year-old Ice Box breezed a half-mile in
49 flat Saturday morning at Palm Meadows for trainer Nick Zito in his first
workout since his 20-to-1 upset victory in the $750,000 Florida Derby (G1) at Gulfstream Park on Mar. 20.
Zito plans to train the stretch-running son of Pulpit up to
his next start in the Kentucky Derby (G1) at Churchill Downs on May 1.
Also prominent on the Saturday morning work tab at Palm
Meadows was Dogwood Stable's Aikenite. He was timed for five furlongs in 1:02
for trainer Todd Pletcher.
The son of Yes It's True finished third last out in the
$250,000 Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2) at Gulfstream on Feb. 20
and is expected to run in next Saturday's $750,000 Blue Grass Stakes (G1) at
Double Triple for Lopez at
Jockey Paco Lopez rode three winners on Thursday at Gulfstream
to pass Javier Castellano atop the leader board in the rider standings for the
meet and added three more on Friday's card to extend his margin to 55-50 with
John Velazquez third at 46 going into Saturday's program.
Veterans Castellano and Velazquez ranked one-two in the
standings for most of the session, but have moved on since the Florida Derby
(G1) on Mar. 20, both in action on Friday's opening day program at Keeneland.
Lopez, a 24-year-old native of Vera Cruz, Mexico,
was voted Eclipse champion apprentice in 2008 while based at Calder for most of
the season where he won meet title. Lopez will be a heavy favorite to win his
first Gulfstream championship as the session winds down to a close on Apr. 24.
Trainer Todd Pletcher is virtually assured of a seventh
consecutive Gulfstream meet title with 32 victories, nearly double his closest
rivals. Nick Zito and Bill Mott are tied for second with 17 apiece, followed by
Rick Dutrow in fourth with 15 and Marty Wolfson and Wesley Ward tied for fifth
at 13 apiece.
Gulfstream-Raced Team Sweeps First
Four places in Transylvania
Four 3-year-olds that made their last starts at Gulfstream
swept the first four places in Friday's $100,000 Transylvania Stakes (G3) on
opening day at Keeneland, led by Amerland Stud's Nordic Truce who was ridden to
victory by Julien Leparoux. He remains undefeated in three career starts for
trainer Christopher Clement.
The Kentucky homebred son of Yes It's True won the $100,000
Dania Beach Stakes over the Gulfstream course last out on Jan. 16 and was
followed home in order in the Transylvania by Wesley Ward and partners' Strike
the Tiger, Michael Bruder's Guys Reward and Silverton Hill Farm's King Ledley.
Another strong group of 3-year-olds that trained in South
Florida and ran at Gulfstream earlier this season is expected to contest next
Saturday's $750,000 Blue Grass Stakes (G1) at Keeneland, including two for
trainer Todd Pletcher – Dogwood Stable's Aikenite and Wertheimer et Frere's
Aikenite makes his first start since finishing third to
Pletcher-trained stablemate Eskendereya in the Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth
Stakes (G2) here on Feb. 20. Interactif finished second in the Hallandale Beach
Stakes on turf at Gulfstream on Feb. 7 and came back to finish second in the
San Felipe Stakes (G2) at Santa Anita on Mar. 13.
Ken and Sarah Ramsey's Pleasant Prince is now listed
probable for the Blue Grass after finishing a game second by a nose behind Ice
Box in the Florida Derby (G1) for trainer Wesley Ward on Mar. 20 after the son
of Indy King finished fourth in the Fountain of Youth.
Donegal Racing Stable's Paddy O'Prado goes into the Blue
Grass after making his last two starts on turf at Gulfstream for trainer Dale
Romans. The son of El Prado finished third in an allowance race on Feb. 10 and
won the Palm Beach Stakes (G3) on Mar. 6 by 2 ½ lengths.
Finally, Padua Stable's Odysseus broke his maiden at
Gulfstream on Jan. 14 in his second start for trainer Tom Albertrani and made
his way onto the Kentucky Derby trail with a 15-length allowance victory at
Tampa Bay Downs on Feb. 17 and a hard-fought nose victory in the Tampa Bay
Derby (G3) on Mar. 13.
Five of the eight 3-year-old fillies entered in today's
$400,000 Ashland Stakes (G1) at Keeneland made their last starts at Gulfstream
– Nancy Mazzoni's She Be Wild (Wayne Catalano), Jack Swain III's Apple
Charlotte (Graham Motion), Alex Campbell, Jr.'s It's Tea Time (Rusty Arnold), Stone
Farm and partners' Upperline (Mike Stidham) and Phipps Stable's Protesting
(Shug McGaughey).

Carrying on tradition is a huge part of Lowrider culture. Where we were is a big part of who we are, and those lucky enough to pass that on to their offsprings help to complete the circle. While some of us eagerly pass our torches, others are persuaded to do so by a youngster who willingly wants to learn. Such is the case for David Cante, a young Lowrider Bike builder from Aurora, Colorado. As a nine year old, David Cante came across some pictures of his father, Mauro, in his younger days in California. It offered the youngster a glimpse into his father's proud past, a past that included the love of two things, The Oakland Raiders football team, and Lowrider bicycles. The insightful David immediately brought the photos to his dad and asked if he could learn how to make Lowrider bikes like the ones in his father's pictures. For David's tenth birthday, his father found a Schwinn frame and the father-son duo worked hard to create the masterpiece that is now known as Raider Nation.
The elder Cante was delighted that his son had taken such an interest and even more delighted at the theme his son had chosen for the bike. He committed time and resources into helping make his son's dream come true. Every week, new parts were added but the most radical change came when David saw his first trike and insisted that their new project go the radical route. Knowing they needed to make the conversion from two to three wheels meant finding a trike kit, which they did at Dragon Lowrider in Denver, Colorado. As a resident of Aurora, Colorado, the ambitious David took his half complete trike to the Denver Lowrider show where he met Juan Flores, a member of a Midwest Customs Bike Club in Colorado. Within months, Juan taught David that even more custom touches could be added to his project, and David kept pushing his build even further with the knowledge.
The Oakland Raiders theme remained, much to the delight of David's father, Mauro. Mikey from Midwest Customs laid down a paint scheme with Raider logos, while David, himself, added etching on the metal to set the trike apart from the rest. Raider emblems were cut at Krazy Kutting in Arizona and added. The tribute to his father's past and favorite team was taking shape, but it was not quite finished by David's standards.
For the final touch, David and his dad built a tailgate-type rear end, complete with televisions and speakers that would make any other football fan jealous. David and his father have built one of the finest creations in Colorado and the two spend countless hours deciding what their next addition will be while they enjoy their favorite sport together. Builds like this one serve as reminders that Lowriding can have such a positive impact and serve as a bonding thread between generations. Way to go, David and Mauro! Excellent work.

Jets Rope Texans, Big!
The win pushed the Jets over the .500 mark, as they are now, 6-5 entering that now so called "easy", part of their schedule. In addition, they won showing stellar defense that has come about since the 3-4 is back in style.
(Receiver, Coles was one of the stars today).
After having lost a game they should have won, the Jets made sure they won a game they should have won when they beat the Texas Texans 26-11 for their biggest margin of victory in victory this season.
The win pushed the Jets over the .500 mark as they are now, 6-5 entering that now so called "easy", part of their schedule. Moreover, they won showing stellar defense that has come about since the 3-4 is back in style. They held an opponent scoreless in the first half for the third straight game and fifth overall in this amazing season for the Jets and their fans.
Coach Eric Mangini --and one can never stop talking about the job he has done—told media after the game what made him the "happiest" was the fact that this was the first game his team played where "all three phases contributed to the victory."
Adding that it was the "best collective team effort," of the season. And what an effort! There
was a 54 yard field goal and the most field goals ever kicked in a game for kicker, Mike Nugent.
And for the second time this season two receivers, Laveranues Coles (9-111) and Jerricho Cotchery (7-110) record over 100 yards via the air in the same game. Both gents did so earlier this season back in September. The last time this happened was 1998 when Keyshawn Johnson and Wayne Chrebet did so.
Then, you had the Jets getting only one penalty called against them the entire game. And that penalty didn't come until 4:35 of the final quarter. You also had safety Kerry Rhodes recording a game leading 11 tackles and he now has 74 on the season, which, as you might have guessed, leads the team.
The Jets played well and if not scoring a touchdown came out of the red zone with points. They had their longest drive of the season when they marched 91yards in seven plays to get a touchdown. Coach Mangini signaled out the end of the third quarter drive and the fourth quarter score as stellar performances by his offense. Asked to evaluate his quarterback he stated, "I thought he did a nice job". And that he did, coach. Just like the one you are doing.
ON THE BENCH: Jet legend, football immortal and NFL hall of famer, Joe Willie Namath, has a new book out, "Namath." Joe Willie spoke to the media prior to the game. Namath is a Pennington supporter as well as Eli Manning. He said one of Manning's' problems with the media is "he doesn't show emotion." Namath, when asked why he wore his famed number 12 said "That's the number one they gave me." Joe wore 19 in high school in salute to the late great John Unitas. The number 12 was given to him in college by legendary college coach Bear Bryant.

Home > ABCs - 123s & Wood Words > Create Your Own Wood Word > Coventry Garden MDF Wood Font - Create A Word
(Details shown apply to the default selection)
Code: 06LWCGXFONT-20mm
Create your own laser cut word in Coventry Garden font - up to 6 letters - select from the size options available.
Laser cut MDF wood words add the finishing touch without weight or bulk to surfaces, plaques, frames, papercraft projects and more! Personalised words make your projects extra special - add a name to a keepsake or gift, add the name of a place you've visited to a scrapbook page... endless possibilities!
As these are MDF rather than chipboard, they add a natural finish to your projects and require no or minimal embellishment - but you can still go in with the gilt wax, paints, stains and inks to create endless variations to suit!
Click any image to enlarge (opens in pop up window)
Calico Craft Parts products are proudly manufactured in our own UK workshop! We do not use fancy packaging or branding, you just pay for the product.
MDF wood embellishments need little or no further enhancement but can be gilded, inked, stained, crackled, painted, stamped, collaged and more. They have a natural vintage look which many customers enjoy unadorned!
Birch plywood has a naturally light coloured birch wood top layer which is suitable for staining, painting, waxing or burning with a pyrography tool. All birch plywood plaques come ready sanded for your convenience. Depending on availability, we may from time to time need to substitute with light birch plywood or poplar plywood - this does not significantly affect the appearance of the product and has no effect on its end use.
PLEASE NOTE: Laser cutting may leave some sooty residue on the product although we take steps to minimise this as much as possible - this is not a defect and will not affect the end use of the product - wipe away with a brush or damp cloth if needed. As our products are freshly cut to order, you may also notice a slight burnt aroma (caused by the heat of the laser cutting process) which will fade and not be noticeable once your order has been unpacked and the pieces have aired.
WE RECOMMEND: Use a good quality wood or PVA glue when using our products for best results - apply a thin coating across the back of the piece, allow to dry for a few minutes, then stick down pressing firmly and evenly. We highly recommend DecoArt paints, mediums, glues and finishes for tried and tested results with our products.

In our practice we deal exclusively with Hair and Eyebrow Transplants. We believe that in order to achieve the best results it requires a singular focus, and for that reason we do not perform any other cosmetic procedures.
We perform both harvesting techniques known as Follicular Unit Extraction (F.U.E.) and Follicular Unit Transplantation otherwise know as the strip harvest procedure. Dr. Dauer believes it is best to educate each patient regarding both harvesting techniques so that the patient can choose the procedure that best suits them and their lifestyle.
Our patients come to us from all over the United States and the world. Our goal is to achieve a completely natural result with as much density as possible. We feel these goals are best achieved when the hair transplant treatment plan is individualized.
The procedure consists of moving the healthy hair from the back and sides of the scalp to the areas of thinning. Because of a concept called "donor dominance", which means if you take a hair follicle from anywhere on the scalp and move it somewhere else it will maintain it's original characteristics, we can take the "permanent hair" from the back and sides of the scalp and move it to the areas of thinning and it will continue to grow for a lifetime and not be susceptible to typical hair loss patterns. It is your hair, just moved from one location to another. It can be styled and colored in any way you wish, and the results are permanent.

About 1/3 of our hair transplant patients are eyebrow transplant procedures. There are many factors that must be taken into account with each eyebrow transplant patient before formulating the optimal treatment plan. Some questions to ask before your procedure: The reason for the lack of eyebrow hair? Are the weak eyebrows secondary to genetic factors, over-plucking, or some underlying medical condition? The patient's facial anatomy, age, the hair-to-skin color contrast, caliber and character of the hair, and amount of eyebrow hair present, are all important factors to take into account and understand in formulating a customized treatment plan.

$|a_1+a_2+\dots a_k| \le t$, for every $k$, $1 \le k\le n$.
(In other words, the probability that a random sequence will satisfy the above relation.)
I am especially interested in this probability when t is small. Either a constant, or slowly growing (say, it behaves like (log n)^s for some real number s, or slower).
1) I would also like to know what is the situation if you demand that the average value of |a_1+a_2+\dots a_k| is smaller than t, rather than the maximum value.
2) If there are more delicate estimates for the case that t itself is a function of k e.g. t itself grows as (log n)^s I would be very interested as well.
This question is relevant to the recent collective effort (polymath5) regarding the Erdos Discrepancy Problem (EDP). It particular it is relevant to a probabilistic heuristic regarding what the answer to EDP, and to several related questions, should be.
It is also relevant to certain probabilistic approaches towards construction of sequences with low discrepancy.
I would expect that the answers to the questions above are known. But they are not known to me. It is easy to be convinced, for example, that when t is bounded the number of such sequences is $c_t^{-n}$, for $c_t<2$ but I would like to know the dependence of c_t on t.

solves a recurrence equation for a[n].
solves a system of recurrence equations.
solves a partial recurrence equation.
Details and Options
- RSolve[eqn,a,n] gives solutions for a as pure functions.
- The equations can involve objects of the form a[n+λ] where λ is a constant, or in general, objects of the form a[ψ[n]], a[ψ[ψ[n]], a[ψ[…[ψ[n]]…]], where ψ can have forms such as:
n+λ arithmetic difference equation μ n geometric or -difference equation μ n+λ arithmetic-geometric functional difference equation μ nα geometric-power functional difference equation linear fractional functional difference equation
- Equations such as a[0]==val can be given to specify end conditions.
- If not enough end conditions are specified, RSolve will give general solutions in which undetermined constants are introduced.
- The constants introduced by RSolve are indexed by successive integers. The option GeneratedParameters specifies the function to apply to each index. The default is GeneratedParameters->C, which yields constants C[1], C[2], ….
- GeneratedParameters->(Module[{C},C]&) guarantees that the constants of integration are unique, even across different invocations of RSolve.
- For partial recurrence equations, RSolve generates arbitrary functions C[n][…].
- Solutions given by RSolve sometimes include sums that cannot be carried out explicitly by Sum. Dummy variables with local names are used in such sums.
- RSolve sometimes gives implicit solutions in terms of Solve.
- RSolve handles both ordinary difference equations and ‐difference equations.
- RSolve handles difference‐algebraic equations as well as ordinary difference equations.
- RSolve can solve linear recurrence equations of any order with constant coefficients. It can also solve many linear equations up to second order with nonconstant coefficients, as well as many nonlinear equations.

Grease Trap and Drain FAQ's
Grease Trap FAQ's
Nothing. The terms "interceptor" and "trap" are completely interchangeable.
A grease trap is a passive plumbing control device designed to reduce the amount of fats, oils and greases (FOG) and food solids that enter the sanitary sewer collection system or on-site waste treatment system. In the case of a sewer system, local regulating authorities set by-law limits to the amounts of FOG and solids concentration that is permitted in the discharge wastewater. In the case of on-site treatment (or septic) systems, excessive FOG and solids will cause serious operational problems that can lead to system failure.
A grease trap is a tank specially designed to reduce the velocity of wastewater and allow the separation of the wastewater into three basic fractions - floatables (fats, oils & greases), solids and water - and allow the discharge of only the water fraction. This separation occurs because some wastes (such as fats, oils and greases) are lighter than water and others (such as food particles) are heavier. The lighter material floats to the top of the grease trap and is retained or intercepted. The heavy material sinks and is retained or intercepted, and the 'clean' water layer in the middle is allowed to pass out of the trap to the sewer.
Unfortunately, grease trap manufactures are NOT required to design traps to meet sewer-use bylaws, and only a very few do. As a result, most grease traps are seriously undersized and incapable of removing adequate amounts of FOG waste from wastewater.
A flow restrictor is a device designed to constrict the drainage pipe size between a plumbing fixture and the grease trap that services it, and thus, reduce the drainage flow so that a smaller grease trap can be used. Flow restrictors cause sinks, and the fixtures they service, to discharge very slowly (by as much as 10 times slower) and are extremely susceptible to causing drain blockages. Flow restrictors are required wherever small "box-type" grease traps are used. Removing a flow restrictor will severely reduce the grease trap's efficiency. We strongly recommend you avoid grease traps that require a flow restrictor, but if your trap has a flow restrictor, do not remove it.
A grease trap only needs to be cleaned (emptied) when enough waste has accumulated to degrade its ability to effectively continue to separate waste. At this point the grease trap is bypassing waste to the sewer. The amount of waste a particular grease trap can retain is based on its waste retention capacity and its efficiency. Our technical service and sales staff determine optimal service intervals based on each individual site's waste accumulation rates and the size/efficiency of the grease trap. In addition, some municipal jurisdictions have mandated minimum service requirements.
The waste captured in the grease trap is organic. The grease trap is designed to capture and retain waste. Organic waste decomposes (rots) over time. As it decomposes, it creates odorous gasses. To minimize grease trap odours you can:
- reduce the amount of waste discharged down the drain - always use sink strainers, etc.
- make sure the grease trap lid is properly sealed and secured, and all required maintenance and repairs are completed
- make sure that fixtures connected to a grease trap have P-traps which are properly primed and full of water
- have your grease trap serviced regularly, before organic waste begins to decompose
A grease trap is always full of water. It takes very little grease to float and cover the surface of the water, giving the appearance that the trap is full. A grease trap only needs to be cleaned (emptied) when sufficient amounts of waste have accumulated to reduce the trap's ability to separate waste.
No. Unfortunately, all grease traps allow some amounts of grease and solids to discharge into the drainage system. In addition, there are many factors that contribute to drain blockages, including drain piping deficiencies, discharging waste down the drain, having drains that are not connected to a grease trap, and other variables. However, regular scheduled grease trap maintenance performed on an adequate frequency cycle, combined with a properly sized and installed grease trap, is the best protection you can provide.
A grease trap will back up or flood only if there is a problem with the lid fastening system, and one of the following occurs:
- The drainage system downstream is blocked or partially blocked, causing the drain exiting the trap to flow slower than the drain entering the trap
- The outlet port of the grease trap is blocked or partially blocked, restricting the flow of waste out of the trap
- The grease trap is full of waste, which causes the outlet and drain to become blocked
Waste accumulates continuously, and the grease trap reaches capacity on a regular basis. Regular scheduled service gives you the peace of mind that you never have to worry about waste discharging to the sewer and causing you to be:
- In violation of sewer-use bylaws
- Susceptible to costly drain blockages, and the potential disruption/damages caused thereby
- Liable for damages and clean-up costs, if discharged waste (grease, etc.) causes a blockage downstream, off property. These costs are usually very high as municipal sewers are quite large and when a blockage occurs, can detrimentally affect many users. Considerable amounts of FOG can build up over long periods of time, even from the smallest generator
- Susceptible to expensive (and sometimes irreparable) damage to your septic bed
Drain FAQ's
Blockages occur two ways:
- Instantaneous; resulting from an event such as vandalism or an inappropriate item being discharged into the drainage system
- Build-up over time; resulting from constant build-up of undesirable material in the drainage system eventually causing a blockage
The following is a list of things you and your staff can do to help minimize the chance or frequency of blockages:
- Always use basket strainers or screens on every drain
- Do not dispose of grease down the drain
- Do not use enzymes, bacteria, detergents, hot water, or other additives to push FOG through the trap further down your drains
- Avoid using a garbage disposer. If you must, run with lots of water and keep the blades sharp
- Avoid powdered soaps that can leave a waxy residue
- Ensure that grease traps are properly sized, installed and maintained
- Perform a periodic preventative drain flushing
Drain "snaking" is performed by inserting a steel cable (or rod) that has an auger type cutting tool attached at the front, into the clogged pipe and "working" the blockage free, or "punching" through the blockage. A Snake can be manually operated or motorized and is typically used on pipes up to 6" in diameter. This temporary action can be used to help minimize disruptions during an emergency until full preventative measures can be arranged.
Flushing is performed using pressurized water that is pumped through a hose to a specially designed directional nozzle. Typically, flushing equipment is self-contained on the service truck. Flushing can be performed on drains and sewers from 1 ½ inches to about 3 6 inches in diameter, and can effectively reach up to 250 feet, from the drain lines directly connected to the trap out to the plumbing stack or main line. Flushing is particularly affective in cleaning or removing build-up from drainage piping and is the preferred method for preventative maintenance.
The best way is to have us perform a detailed visual and Camera Inspection of the system. Our specially trained technicians will provide you with a written assessment that will include a recommendation, and a detailed quotation for any one-time and periodic maintenance requirements.

Intuitive Robot Interfaces with Web Robotics
During his internship, Russell Toris from Worcester Polytechnic Institute worked on improving the ROS JavaScript libraries to make creating intuitive user interfaces easier for researchers. These improvements have helped to lower the bar for both robotics researchers who want to design web interfaces, and web designers who want to connect their work to robotics.
By using such an interface, non-expert users can now easily instruct a robot to manipulate the world by simply specifying how they want to world to look. The robot begins by perceiving any known objects on the table, and displays them to the user as 3D meshes. The user is then able to drag-and-drop objects around in order to specify how he or she wants the objects arranged. Users can also specify configurations of objects and save them as templates, as a form of programming by demonstration. Having such an interface available in web browsers means that non-expert users with a wide array of operating systems and browsers can perform manipulation tasks remotely, using their own computers or mobile devices.
This work was done in collaboration with Kaijen Hsiao from Willow Garage, Sarah Osentoski from Bosch, and Chad Jenkins from Brown University. For more information, see ros3djs, SharedAutonomyToolkit, and robotwebtools.org.

Top FAQs
The foreclosure process starts when a homeowner stops paying their mortgage. The lender sends the homeowner a notice, giving them a period of time to pay, or the property goes to auction. The homeowner can take steps to either postpone or cancel the auction. At the auction, the bank won't bid more than the credit bid.
The purchaser at the auction is essentially paying off the mortgage and is responsible for any additional liens attached to the property. If no one bids above the credit bid, the property goes back to the bank. And, it becomes a real-estate owned (REO) property for sale.
Interior access is not available for any property sold at a foreclosure auction. All foreclosed properties are sold as is, where is.
You'll need to estimate any repair or upgrade costs from a distance. Even if you think the home is vacant, treat it as occupied. These homes have not transferred ownership yet. So, walking on or entering the property is trespassing and a crime.
All counties have different payment requirements. Some require the full amount of the winning bid at the sale. Others only need a deposit and the balance is due at a later date.
Generally, payment is required in the form of cashier's check at the auction. Be sure you know your maximum budget when preparing for the auction. Some investors bring multiple checks in different denominations. This allows them to get the payment as close to the bid as possible. If you bring more than the winning bid, you will be sent a check from the trustee for the difference.
Keep in mind you will only be able to bid up to the amount you brought. You will not be allowed to go to the bank for more funds.
Foreclosure properties are sold a couple different ways.
- In some states, Auction.com is appointed by the foreclosure attorney to conduct the sale.
- In other states, the sale is done by a court-appointed official (usually the sheriff).
Auction.com often lists properties auctioned by the county. We do this to provide you with a wide range of options for your next investment.
Most mortgage lenders want a property inspection or appraisal. So, they won't provide loans on occupied properties.
These properties are sold as-is and without interior access. You must pay the full amount with a cashier's check. Make sure you check the property page for specific details on fund requirements.
Some investors use other sources to get cashier's checks. These can include hard-money loans or lines of credit. But, to use one of these types of loans, the loan can't require property inspections or appraisals.

SAHM for 2 weeks
I promised Keanna that I will personally attend to her and accompany her to school once nakapag LOA ako from work. She cannot forget it, even the dates where I start my 2 week long vacation up to the date where I go back to work. March 23 to April 5, 2008...sarap ng bakasyon pero umpisa pa lang, nakakalula ang list of things to do ko..A week has passed and these are my days at school. I wake up early to take a shower with Keanna, dahil gusto nya kung hindi kami sabay...ako pa rin magpapaligo sa kanya. The first Sunday I took time to finish the Valedictory address for her, printed it and passed last Monday. It was checked by the Director. The first time I accompanied and waited for Keanna the whole time sa school was way back last year when she was in Kinder, nainip ako that time. So, I always have something to read pag may time ako to wait for her at school. But last monday was different. Inihatid kami ni Daddy sa school at iniwan na nya ako to wait for Keanna..hindi ako nainip. Because it was Keanna's 1st day of Graduation practice.
On the 3rd day, parang nasanay na rin ako na super tiyaga sa panunuod at paghihintay.. but since Daddy can't fetch us..we decided to go to SM. I bough Keanna a crown tiara, a ring and earrings. She asked me not to buy myself a new blouse na, coz I have something to wear na nga naman on her Graduation day. I told her that I want to look beautiful on that special day coz I will be going up to the stage and there will be plenty of people..she said" kahit hindi ka naman beautiful Mommy, love pa rin kita kaya wag ka na bumili ng blouse blouse dyan"..LOL! And oh, before I forget, that was also the day she first read her valedictory adress..here's the pic..
The fourth day, we were with Daddy again and right after school, we went to Howmart Road (Royal). Mama was there, naglilibang sa pagtitinda ng Halo-Halo..hehe! It was super init that time so we gave in to Keanna's request for a small cup of the cold treat..yum!
And on that Friday, we went home a little late. We have the invites, and the Toga. Our precious daughter was so excited to try her toga and have her hair curled. I agreed to curl her hair to add volume kasi ang liit ng face nya. I have to do it a night before the Grad coz her hair is a total oppposite of mine. Super bagsak at dulas ng hair nya and never did I succeed in curling it to last for hours. She had fever that Friday too, we were a little worried 'coz her temp might soar high, so eto si Mommy, round-the-clock and pagbabantay at on time dapat ang gamot. Kahit matamlay, she agreed to have her hairs curled, maybe because she really wants to see herself in a new do.
Our Saturday was a blast. Total mixed emotions.. I was happy, I was a little angry (not on Keanna), I was worried and I was sad, and was tuliro..haha! Happy for my little girl's achievement. A little angry dahil late si daddy, he came from work pa kasi. =( Worried, dahil super tamlay ni Keanna, though she managed to recite her speech. Sad coz we were expecting to celebrate that day with our (Ronald and mine) HS friends (happens to be Ninongs and Ninangs of Keanna) but they can't come..other friends have works to attenbd to and some have to leave for their provinces. hayzz...Tuliro dahil na rin sa dami ng emotion..haha!
All in all it was a day of celebration.... my girl made it..bye bye Preschool. We just hope that she'll continue her good academic standing up to College (?).. Congrats anak. My first week off work was worth it..I will definitely miss our day-long bonding. Love you anak.

(CNN) - As the Republican National Committee has been working to expand its outreach to African-Americans, it now finds itself playing defense after a well-intentioned but unpolished tweet honoring the legacy of Rosa Parks seemed to ignite some backlash.
The RNC on Sunday, commemorating the day Parks was arrested in 1955, sent out a tweet to recognize the civil rights activist.
Follow @politicalticker Follow @KilloughCNN
"Today we remember Rosa Parks' bold stand and her role in ending racism," its Twitter page read. Attached was a photo of a young Parks.
A few hours after the original tweet, the RNC tweeted a clarification on the latter end of the statement.
"Previous tweet should have read "Today we remember Rosa Parks' bold stand and her role in fighting to end racism," the tweet stated.
But the initial tweet had already sparked reactions from people who took issue with the phrase suggesting that racism has ended. Some people on Twitter started using the hash tag "#RacismEndedWhen," with many taking a sarcastic tone.
Also on Sunday, roughly around the same time as the original tweet, the RNC sent out an email with a message celebrating Parks. The statement included a similar line as the original tweet, but more accurately stated Parks played a role in "fighting racism and ending segregation."
"We remember and honor Rosa Parks today for the role she played in fighting racism and ending segregation. At the same time we rededicate ourselves to the causes of justice and equal opportunity," RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said.
"Rosa Parks was a hero of the civil rights movement," he also said. "On this day 58 years ago, the 42-year-old seamstress took a bold stand-by staying seated. Her arrest ignited a bus boycott that challenged the injustice of segregation and in turn helped to change this nation for the better."
After GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney won only 6% of the African-American vote last year, the RNC has actively worked to change its tone and message to appeal to more African-Americans this year.
Just last month, it launched an African-American Engagement effort in Michigan, after starting similar outreach campaigns in other states, including New Jersey, North Carolina and Virginia.
Racism will never be over because liberals will always keep it alive.
The old white boy network is trying so hard to act as if they really care about anything but the corporate profits they can swindle out of the middle class 'regular' people....please!
how could the GOP be so stupid to make these statements when they continue to disrespect the President because of his race.
I'm sure there are some non racist GOP members but as a whole the the GOP is racist!
"Mission Accomplished!" - sound familiar?
New GOP slogan, "We Haven't A Clue! Do You?".
Meanwhile, in Rochester NY, 3 black boys are arrested for waiting quietly for a school bus. White cops insist they aren't racist because, you know, Rosa Parks, so it must be true.
The Republicans have always been the Angry White Mans Party. Picked up a lot of voters when President Johnson passed the Civil Rights legislation.
Typical GOP
Limbaugh attacking the pope, GOP stating racism has ended.It truelly is the end of days.
Well, geeez, it isn't like they called someone a bad name. It was meant as a way to honor. people get over yourselves.
The GOP is the gift that just keeps giving. If they just keep talking the Democrats won't have to spend a dime on the 2016 elections. T;hey are so far out of touch with most americans on almost every issue, racism, immigration, guns,health care plans,womens rights, wars etc. that Ican't see a Republican in the White House for twenty years
If anyone thinks that racism is over in the USA, just read the CNN message boards any day of the week.
Please. The GOP deliberately built its base with racists. If you have any doubt, Google "The Southern Strategy"
backfires? not to the GOP base of racists (most of them)
Funny that the party of exclusion and "let's demonize anyone different than us" deems it necessary to even mention Rosa Parks. If the GOP/TP truly wanted to follow Parks' example of simple equality for all ... an even playing field ... they could start by following IDIC ... "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few".
Funny how liberals have decks of race cards and people who want to be known for more than skin pigmentation scream racism every chance they get
It's a common phrase people. Commercials for charities come on all the time telling you that you can do your part in "ending _____". Could it have been worded better. Probably. But I think most of you know what they were trying to say, it just fits better with your "republicans are evil racists" mentality to ignore what they actually meant.
Discrimination is over, SCOTUS says, so evidently racism is gone too.
Racism cannot ever be allowed to end, or else a lot of people would be out of jobs and careers.
It's so painful to be a semi-reasonable conservative and see this utter incompetence.

Ah, 2013!
Lucky 13!
If one is searching for harbingers of hope early on in this newborn year, one need not look much farther than this Friday at Monte Bello. Or should I say, FIRST Friday …
That's right folks, the first First Friday of the new year is THIS Friday, and we've got the perfect wine to celebrate!
If the event is the harbinger, then surely the wine is the quintessence, and for oeno-emblemation, one need look no further than our viculturally apotheotic sanctorium to the north, Lytton Springs, from the vineyards of which emerges the 2008 Lytton Estate Syrah!
The 2008 Lytton Estate Syrah is the January ATP release, and we'll be showcasing it at First Friday, this Friday!
And you, you simply MUST taste this wine!
For more about the very special event, please click here:
and do please remember, this is a Member Event, so if you've not yet become kin with our kin, you 'kin do so by clicking here:
And for more about this highly-anticipated wine, read on!
Ridge has just over three acres of fully mature syrah and three and a half acres of younger vines at Lytton Springs West. These parcels are situated in the well-drained Sites soil on the bench overlooking Norton Creek. Since 1996, we have produced limited amounts for the Advance Tasting Program (ATP). Over time, the consistent quality showed syrah to be perfectly matched to the climate and soil of Lytton Estate. As in the past, the 2008 vintage was co-fermented with a small amount of viognier from an adjacent parcel. Following harvest, it was assembled, in blind tasting, from the most intense and distinct lots.
Key words/terms to extrapolate from the above? I'll go with "consistent quality," most intense" and "distinct!"

Dani Walker was again the top finisher for Lipscomb on day two, finishing second out of 57 runners in the women's 1500 meters, just missing the school record with a time of 4:39.77. She led four Lipscomb women in the top 10, with Amanda Twigg finishing fourth in 4:45.37, Tessa Hoefle finishing seventh in 4:47.00 and Jaimie McFarland finishing ninth in 4:48.07.
Seventeen LU women ran the 1500 meters in the meet, with 10 under 5:00 and in the top 20.
"We've come a long ways in a short time," said head coach Bill Taylor. "Four years ago when I was hired, we didn't have a single woman break five minutes in the open 1500m. My second year we had four for the season. My third year, last year, we had seven break 5 minutes, our first two under 4:50 and our first ever under 4:40. This year, in the first outdoor meet of the season, we have 10 women under 5:00, with one already under 4:40 and three more under 4:50.
"I hope by the end of the season we have one or more under 4:30, five or more under 4:40, ten or more under 4:50 and fifteen or more under 5:00. It is really fun seeing the dramatic improvement every year."
Lipscomb also made a lot of noise in the field events and sprints on Saturday. Freshman Tucker Peabody ran an all time personal best of 10.76 to finish fourth in the men's 100m finals.
Logan Ray finished 3rd in the triple jump with a leap of 45-5. Dillon Seigenthaller earned a third place finish in the men's javelin with a toss of 161-feet 3-inches, followed by Steven Mason's fourth place finish in the event. Adam Austin earned a 5th place finish in the men's high jump, while Taylor Mason finished third in the women's javelin.
Isaiah Greer was the top finisher for the LU men in the 1500m, posting a time of 4:03.39 for ninth place.
The women's 4x400m relay team of Katie Bunker, Amanda Twigg, Sara Stephens and Dani Walker ended the day with a new school record of 3:56.83, good enough for fourth place overall.
"Day two was a solid conclusion of our first outdoor meet of the season," Taylor said. " We are happy and saw some great performances. We also saw how far we have to go yet, and with the conference championship scheduled a month earlier than last year, we don't have a lot of time to figure things out. Each meet is much more important than in previous years.
"I am also very happy with the progression of our throws, jumps and sprints, especially on the men's side. We had some great performances there and continue to improve each season. I like our progress and am excited to see that continue both this season and in future seasons."
Lipscomb will compete next weekend, March 12th, at the Birmingham-Southern Invite, in Birmingham, Ala., before traveling to Myrtle Beach, S.C ., the following week during spring break.

I am planning to log in to my college PC using ssh and run some simulations. These simulations take very long time, so I would like the relevant process to run longer than the ssh session (I want to log in, run the process, log out and collect the results the next day).
How can I do it
- If the process is a command line tool that doesn't expect any inputs (so that I just need the resulting output file)?
- If the process is a GUI, which sadly doesn't save the results to a file, but displays it instead. So in this case I was thinking of using
ssh -X ...command, but then I don't know how to reconnect to the open window.

Michael O'Neill has urged his players to "write your legacy" by qualifying for next summer's Euro finals.
Victory against Greece on Thursday night at Windsor Park will seal Northern Ireland's place in France.
It would also mean a first-ever appearance at a European Championship, and a first major tournament in 30 years.
"As an international player you write your legacy in terms of the number of times you play, the number of memorable performances you have and if you get the chance to go to a major tournament," O'Neill said.
"These players can write their legacy by going to a major tournament.
"The prize is great and it's something the players are determined to be part of. These opportunities don't come around for Northern Ireland players very often.
"I don't think motivation has ever been an issue for this team, if I'm honest.
"Even when results weren't going as well as we'd hoped I never had an issue in terms of the effort that the players have given me.
"The belief in the squad is fantastic."
