I read "168 hours" by Laura Vanderkam and I found it very interesting for taking away activities that can be considered a waste of time. In general this was a good way to track how my time is being spent on a week by week basis.
My question is: are there similar books out there, that you would recommend (I have been looking through Amazon's (customer's also bought), GoodReads and also book reviews but haven't been able to find anything similar).

Hapag-Lloyd is at present the world's sixth-largest container line, but a planned merger with CSAV will create the fourth-largest global ocean carrier.
Founded in 1970 via a merger between the two shipping companies Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft (Hapag / Hamburg-American Line) and North German Lloyd (NDL), Hapag-Lloyd is based in Hamburg, Germany, and has a presence in 114 countries, with 7,000 employees worldwide.
Hapag-Lloyd has a fleet of more than 150 ships with a capacity of around 730,000 TEUs. In 2013 the carrier posted revenue of EUR 6.56 billion, a 4 percent decrease from the previous year. The company recorded a net loss of EUR 97 million, down 24 percent from the previous year's net loss of EUR 128 million.
Hapag-Lloyd was the seventh-ranked container carrier in U.S containerized import trade in 2013, with volume of 1,029,853 TEUs, up 1.4 percent year-over-year, giving it market share of 5.7 percent. It was ranked third in U.S. containerized export trade in 2013, with volume of 802,784 TEUs, up 3.1 percent year-over-year, with market share of 6.3 percent. For more carrier rankings, see the JOC's Top 40 Container Carriers special topic.
Hapag-Lloyd and CSAV in April 2014 signed a binding contract to complete a merger to create the world's fourth-largest container line. Following the merger, which is expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2014, the enlarged Hapag-Lloyd will have 200 vessels with total transport capacity of around 1 million 20-foot-equivalent units, an annual transport volume of 7.5 million TEUs, and annual turnover of €9 billion.

Italy Restarts American's Murder Trial
Appeals Court Overturns Acquittal of Amanda Knox and Former Italian Boyfriend in 2007 Killing
MILAN—American Amanda Knox and her Italian former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito are to face a new trial on charges of murder and sexual assault for the 2007 killing of British student Meredith Kercher, after Italy's highest appeals court overturned a lower-court acquittal in a case that became a media sensation.
"Our battle continues," Giulia Bongiorno, a lawyer for Mr. Sollecito said in a television interview shortly after the ruling. "This has never been an easy path…but Raffaele has always had the great force of his innocence to support him."
Ms. Bongiorno said the new trial would be held in Florence, although the exact timing is unclear. Another lawyer for Mr. Sollecito, now 29 years old, said proceedings could begin late this year or early in 2014. It was also unclear whether the Florence court would order a full retrial, or examine only portions of the original ruling.
In a statement, Ms. Knox, 25, who wasn't in court, said she found the news "painful," adding that "the prosecution's theory of my involvement in Meredith's murder has been repeatedly revealed to be completely unfounded and unfair."
Ms. Kercher, who was a university student in the city of Perugia, was found partially clothed in a pool of blood in the apartment she shared with Ms. Knox in 2007. Ms. Knox and Mr. Sollecito were subsequently arrested on suspicion they had stabbed her to death during a sexual assault.
The case grabbed the world media's attention, and had many Americans voicing concerns over whether Ms. Knox would be properly tried in Italy's slow, and at times complex, legal process.
Ms. Knox and Mr. Sollecito were convicted in 2009 of having murdered Ms. Kercher, and were sentenced to 26 and 25 years in prison, respectively. But after they spent four years in jail, an appeals court acquitted the pair in October 2011. Ms. Knox and Mr. Sollecito maintained their innocence throughout the trials. Rudy Guede, an Ivory Coast national, was convicted of murdering Ms. Kercher and sentenced to 16 years in prison, having exhausted the appeals process. During the trial, he denied having a role in the murder. Ms. Kercher's family has disputed arguments that Mr. Guede acted alone.
Following the acquittal, Ms. Knox returned to her home in Seattle, while Mr. Sollecito resumed his studies in Italy. Ms. Knox has since written a book that is due to be published next month by Harper Collins, which is owned by News Corp. News Corp. also publishes The Wall Street Journal.
On Tuesday, Italy's high appeals court, which rules on procedural matters and not on the merit of a case, accepted a public prosecutor's request to put Ms. Knox and Mr. Sollecito back on trial. Prosecutor Luigi Riello and Ms. Kercher's family sought to have the acquittal by the lower appeals court overturned, arguing that the motives behind the decision were contradictory.
The high court didn't reveal the reasoning for its decision, but is expected to publish a full explanation in the coming weeks.
Francesco Maresca, a lawyer representing the Kercher family, welcomed the ruling, saying that the 2011 acquittal had been "without any merit or detail."
Neither Ms. Knox nor Mr. Sollecito is required to appear in Florence for the next trial. Moreover, they have the right to appeal the next ruling, meaning that a final resolution of the case could take another couple of years, lawyers say.
Carlo Dalla Vedova, a lawyer for Ms. Knox, said she was unlikely to travel to Italy for the trial and would likely appeal should she be convicted in a second trial. "She is very bitter," he said. "She thought she could put an end to this nightmare today."
An Italian prosecutor has more possibilities to appeal a ruling than exist in the U.S., thereby prolonging a case in a judicial system that already is notoriously slow.
Should the court convict Ms. Knox, Italian authorities could ask the U.S. to extradite her to serve out her sentence in Italy. However, the U.S. doesn't normally extradite its citizens to face legal action. Instead, Italy and the U.S. could agree for Ms. Knox to serve any prison time in the U.S., lawyers say.
During the trials, Ms. Knox became a highly divisive figure, depicted as a cunning she-devil in Italy and a victim of a ham-handed Italian justice system in the U.S. Critics charged that the case was based mostly on circumstantial evidence.
A turning point in the appeals trial came when an independent panel of forensic experts said that clumsy handling of the police's main evidence—a tiny amount of DNA on a knife and a bra clasp—could have allowed for it to be contaminated. The acquittal fueled sharp criticisms of the Italian justice system in Italy and abroad.

Even before birth, your baby is establishing a pattern of behavior.
Your baby is beginning to have regular sleep-wake cycles and her breathing, yawning, and swallowing are taking on a more definite pattern. However, your own life may seem less rhythmical. You may find things are slightly different at work and, perhaps, be seeing less of some friends because you don't always feel up to socializing. Don't become isolated, though-if nothing else, stay in touch by phone and email.

[OPEN-1152] TreeGrid with single top-level node doesn't display properly in IE7...
...but is good in IE8.
In IE7, even though I've set the first node to 'expanded', the children are not shown. The twistie indiciates that we've children, but these rows are not shown.
IE7 screenshot.jpg
The children reappear if you close the twistie, and then reopen.
In IE8, you can see the expected behaviour.

This appears to only be a problem for data in which there's only one top-level node.
Has anyone seen this type of behaviour before?

Thanks to McClurg's Legal Humor (Lawhaha) for bringing this one to the light of day. You can read his post about it, but you really have to read it in all its handwritten glory (complete with illustrations) to appreciate it.
Don't worry, it's only 8 pages long handwritten, and with the illustrations probably only a page worth of actual text. While it definitely is not an example of the professionalism or civility that an attorney should exhibit, it's good for a laugh and a smile. Enjoy!

As the finite field of $GF(2^8)$ are isomorphic to $GF((2^4)^2)$, $GF((2^2)^4)$ and $GF(((2^2)^2)^2)$, which of the fields is best suited and most efficient for 4-bit MCU and why? Would it be $GF((2^4)^2)$?
While $GF(2^8)$ is indeed isomorphic to $GF((2^4)^2)$ (and to the other fields you have mentioned), if you use the latter you will need a conversion routine to change the field representation from and to $GF(2^8)$. This will probably defeat any performance gain with the alternative representation (and I'm not sure there would be any). Another related issue is that the "nice" constants used in MixColumns (2 and 3) may not be so nice in the converted form, hurting performance when you multiply by them.
You can simply represent a $GF(2^8)$ element using two 4-bit words.

What is a set of traits that are common for all protestants (excluding those who call themselves Christians, but don't pray to Christ), yet setting them apart from other Christians (the Catholic, the Eastern Orthodox and the Oriental Orthodox)?

Here's how it works:

This is similar to this response I made to the question, 'Do Evangelical leaders (televangelists, megachurch pastors, etc…) not consider themselves Protestants?'. But, essentially the primary doctrine that set Protestantism apart, and was a primary cause of the reformation to begin with is Justification By Faith: that salvation comes entirely from Christ's atoning work on the cross.
Without turning this into the wikipedia article on protestantism, there are a number of other doctrines that have come to dominate the thinking of most modern protestants including, the priesthood of all believers (which is why protestants call their clerics pastors instead of priests), and the five solas, including sola scriptura ("by Scripture alone").

The 6 Most Mismatched Battles Ever Won by Underdogs
Even if you have the finest weapons and the absolute best leadership, war is hell. In fact, hell is just the beginning when you're facing an enemy with 10 times the gear and manpower your side has.
In those desperate circumstances, sometimes the underdog just has to get stupid. What do we mean? Well ...
#5. Cambyses II Conquers Egypt With Cat Shields
Sergey Titov/Photos.com
Like most other centuries, the sixth century B.C. had to witness a war in the Middle East. Persian king Cambyses II, fresh from his coronation, set his eyes westward to expand his empire, which meant war with Egypt. But going up against the Egyptians on their home turf was seven kinds of stupid. Not only did they know the terrain, but they were exactly as tough as you'd expect from people whose embalmed corpses were destined to become horror movie villains a few millennia down the line.
Joshua Sherurcij/Wikimedia
Fresh Egyptians: 30 percent more zesty than desiccated Egyptians.
Even so, Cambyses didn't give a damn. He stormed Egypt like a jock mowing through a keg party, only to have his ass promptly handed to him. Sure, Cambyses had the numbers, but the Egyptians had the home advantage and far superior weaponry. The Persians were bound to lose the war ... until Cambyses spotted the Egyptians' only weakness: cats.
Back in the day, Egyptians were deathly afraid of cats, which they thought were representatives of death itself. As such, killing a cat was both a terrifying sin and a quick one-way ticket to Death Central. So, according to legend, it is here that the Persians started using cats as shields. Seriously.
Embarrassed artists hid this fact and said Cambyses won just by being really tall.
Also, they lobbed a bunch of felines into the battlefield, to the point where Egyptians could not take a step or swing a sword without the risk of harming a cat. By some accounts, Cambyses supplemented his feline secret weapon with a bunch of other animals Egyptians held sacred, such as ibis birds, dogs, and sheep, thus creating the world's first Battlefield Petting Zoo.
Whatever the reasons behind it, the gambit worked, as the Egyptians were so afraid of accidentally striking a cat that they either fled or just flat out surrendered to the inferior Persian fighting force. Hey, this is what writers at the time say happened, we weren't there. The Persians went on to preside over Egypt for ages to come. Cats went on to lazily rule over man until the end of time itself.
#4. The Ottomans Win With a Centuries-Old Cannon
William Byers/Photos.com
It was 1807, and the Ottomans found themselves at war with Great Britain, the reigning world champion at messing up other countries. And sure enough, the Brits, with their superior troops and weapons, were set to dominate the Ottomans. Ready to delve into the heart of Turkey, the British Royal Navy went right through the Dardanelles Strait, where the Aegean and Black Seas meet.
The Ottomans knew their opponent was coming, but realized they only had a few laughably tiny cannons set up in the area. They had no way to put a dent in the British ships. What they did have was this:
Mario Modesto Mata/Wikimedia
Check out the Dardanelles on that bad boy.
If that looks like a gigantic decorative cannon from ancient times, you're right. It was a ridiculous thing built back in the 15th century when Sultan Mehmet II ordered the construction of what would be called the Dardanelles Gun -- an 18-ton, 17-foot contraption that could send a 670-pound cannonball over 5,000 feet. It was installed at the aforementioned Dardanelles Strait, but since the gun's ammo was so heavy that it didn't fly so much as it rolled along the ground with some extreme force, it was never really used. It was just there to look cool.
That is, until 350 years later, when the desperate Ottomans dusted off their giant-ass antique.
Despite being from an age where knights were still doing the fighting, the Dardanelles Gun was found to be in reasonable working order. Since the Ottomans had no proper projectiles for the monster, they just filled it with gunpowder and random debris. With their impossible antique bullshit cannon in place, the Ottomans waited ... and waited ... and fucking well fired.
Kevin Smith/Photos.com
Comically expelling bats and cobwebs. And hellfire.
The British ships were, naturally, pretty surprised when they were greeted by a rain of rubble blasted out of a big-ass museum piece. The surprise soon turned to shock when said museum weapon actually blasted holes in their ships (and their men) with every bit as much gusto as the most efficient cannons of the time ... and then some. The British Royal Navy suffered one of their rare defeats that day.
A curious epilogue to the story: 60 years later, Sultan Abdulaziz visited Great Britain. As a solid contestant for the "least subtle 'fuck you' move in history" award, he gave the Dardanelles Gun to Queen Victoria as a present.
#3. Korea Beats the Japanese Navy With a Handful of Wrecked Ships
Japan and Korea have a long history of not particularly liking each other, mainly due to the former's tendency to invade the shit out of the latter at every opportunity. In the 1590s, the countries were engaged in a three-way war with China called the Imjin War. China and Korea were getting their butts handed to them by the powerful Japanese army and their particularly strong navy, which in 1597 took out pretty much the entire Korean fleet.
Samuel Hawley/Korea Army Museum
"Come on, men! If we win, Korea will never be at war again!"
The Korean navy was down to 13 ships, all badly damaged. Their admiral, Yi Sun-shin, quickly gathered the survivors, knowing full well that Japan was gearing up for another go at invading Korea and they were the only line of defense. There was also another problem: Their 13 limping vessels were facing over 330 Japanese warships.
With nothing to lose, Yi decided to go for it and engaged the Japanese ships anyway ... and he beat the ever-loving crap out of them. In a shocking twist, it turns out there's more to naval warfare than just numbers. Yi knew the waters and waited for the enemy at Myeongnyang Strait, where the Japanese ships inevitably bottlenecked thanks to its narrowness. You may recognize this exact strategy from the movie 300, although we think even Leonidas would have thought twice before trying it with freaking warships.
Byeon Bak/Wikimedia
You can't break ships in slow motion. You'd drown.
From there, it was almost embarrassingly easy going. Yi ordered his crippled ships to blast row upon row of incoming ships like it was a game of Space Invaders. Eventually, the tide turned against the Japanese fleet, banging their ships together and further adding to the chaos. The Japanese navy was eventually forced to retreat in shame, having lost 33 ships and over 8,000 men, with 90 more ships badly damaged.
Admiral Yi lost two men, presumably due to fatal laughing fits.

Bus driver who ignored Kingman flooding cited for reckless driving
KINGMAN, AZ - A man whose tour bus was swept down a northwestern Arizona wash with 33 people onboard has been cited for reckless driving.
Joseph Razon is scheduled to appear in Kingman Justice Court on Sept. 10.
If he's convicted of the criminal traffic violation, officials can seek reimbursement for emergency response under Arizona's "Stupid Motorist Law."
The Mohave County Sheriff's Office announced the citation Tuesday.
Razon had taken a group to the Grand Canyon Skywalk on July 28 and was headed back to Las Vegas when he drove into a flooded wash. The vehicle flipped on its side into an embankment, and the passengers escaped on their own uninjured.
A representative for the bus owner has said charging Razon under the "Stupid Motorist Law" would be an insult.

People Who Use Indoor Tanning Beds Fall Into 4 Categories
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
WebMD Health News
What Type of Tanner Are You?
Dec. 17, 2007 -- What type of tanner are you? How you use indoor tanning beds -- and how often -- may reveal a lot about your skin cancer risks.
A new study suggests that people who use indoor tanning beds fall into four main types ranging from special event tanners to regular tanners, and each type may face different skin cancer risks.
The results show that a "one size fits all" approach to skin cancer prevention messages doesn't apply to indoor tanners, and doctors should tailor their skin cancer prevention efforts to the indoor tanning habits of their patients.
Researchers say despite warnings, the popularity of indoor tanning beds has increased dramatically in recent years. Nearly 2 million Americans use tanning beds each day, and the number of individual users has doubled to nearly 30 million in the last decade.
Numerous studies have linked indoor tanning to a higher risk of both melanoma and nonmelanomaskin cancers.
Indoor Tanning Types
In the study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, researcher Joel Hillhouse, PhD, of East Tennessee State University, and colleagues surveyed 168 young women who used indoor tanning beds about their tanning habits.
Four main indoor tanning types emerged:
- Event tanners (54%): This group tanned the least (about 12 times per year). They used indoor tanning beds numerous times over a short period before a special event and then went for long periods of time without tanning. They also reported the least positive attitudes related to indoor tanning.
- Regular, year-round tanners (12%): This group used indoor tanning at least weekly or biweekly (averaging more than 70 times per year) and had more positive attitudes toward tanning than event tanners. These tanners started tanning at a younger age compared with the other groups. The researchers called this the "most at-risk group."
- Spontaneous or mood tanners (6%): These tanners weren't regular tanners but used indoor tanning on the spur of the moment or inspired by their moods.
- Mixed tanners (29%): This group included tanners who not only tan regularly during certain seasons but also will event tan during the off season (an average of more than 25 times a year).
Researchers say that by identifying indoor tanners by type, doctors can be more effective in tailoring their skin cancer prevention strategies. For example, regular year-round tanners may need to be screened for seasonal affective disorder or depression.

Do yeast die after bottling?
My second batch of beer have been stored in bottles over a month now without producing any co2. I want to add some priming sugar to start the fermentation again, but I'm unsure if it will help.
Yeast will become dormant and eventually die after a few weeks to months, but only after any food sources, like priming sugar, have been consumed.
The lack of carbonation after a month could be caused by a number of things
Adding more priming sugar can be done on a bottle or two as a test, which you can open after 3 days. You should hear a hiss, but the beer itself won't be carbonated unless it's left for another week. But if you get the hiss then the yeast are working it's most likely a problem with distributing the priming sugar evenly. No hiss, and you may need to pitch some more yeast. A tiny pinch of yeast is enough for the entire batch, but putting a tiny pinch of yeast in each bottle will work also.
Yeast are pretty hardy and it takes time before they completely die off. Even when the nutrients are nearly all consumed the yeast simply go dormant. I have cultured yeast out of beer bottles that were at least a year old. Granted the total viability isn't high but they aren't all dead. Alcohol levels, oxygen levels and storage temp plays a big role.
In your case, adding more priming sugar should work as I am sure there is plenty of yeast around. Be sure the beer is at 70F/21C before starting. You want the beer at room temp as the yeast see the sugar. For ease you may want to try something like Coopers carb tabs. Little pills of sugar for carbing one bottle at a time.
The question has essentially been answered, but I'd like to suggest that you also check out the following rather informative write-up regarding the yeast lifecycle which I've found informative:

A Kentucky teen who fell five stories out of an apartment window near Penn State University has recovered enough to go home.
The Courier-Journal reports doctors said they expect 19-year-old Paige Raque to be released on Wednesday from Frazier Rehab Institute in Louisville, Ky., where she has been recovering since Nov. 19.
Raque, who is a cheerleader at Penn State, fell from the window of an off-campus apartment on Oct. 13 during a party. She suffered brain trauma and broke her pelvis.
Raque told reporters on Tuesday that the recovery process "has been a challenge," and she is grateful for all the support she has received.
Her next goal is to walk without a walker, and she said she wants to return to Penn State next fall.

- Thank you for sharing in the
new Pines Tradition.
Q1. Can anyone participate? Can I bring a friend?
a. All CSB/SJU students are welcome and each student is allowed to bring one non-CSB/SJU friend; this friend must be registered. Click here to register or see question number 8 for more details.
Q2. Do I need to bring any money?
a. No - everything is free for students during the day. The only exception is the Pancake Breakfast at Midnight. Taking place in Sexton Dining it is only $2 and students can flex it with their Campus ID. Enjoy a lite meal of pancakes and sausage as CSB/SJU Staff serve you up in style!
Q3. What is the Pines Tradition? What happened to Pinestock?
a. '11 Pines became the new Pinestock in the year of 2011. This event's purpose is to celebrate many different aspects of student talent - dance, comedy, music, etc. while offering a variety of diverse activities for all of CSB/SJU students and alumni to enjoy. The Pines tradition is one in which varies from year to year, providing us with the opportunity for unexpected and unique additions, igniting our curiousity, and resulting in the unique festivities that are meant to celebrate the accomplishments of the closing academic school year.
The Pines Tradition is meant to have a sense of intrigue... to be a unique day that changes from year to year, with the exception of a few core traditional activities. At '12 Pines you will find an assortment of events: musical acts, comedy, dance, student talent, athletic competitions, and a community oriented BBQ! The idea behind the 12 Pines day-long festival is to offer something that every student can enjoy so that all students will feel included and want to attend.
Previous Pinestocks with one major headliner appealed to a select group of students year after year. Regardless of whether students just wanted to check out the music or whether the artist was one that students grew up listening to, students had to pay for entry. We are hopeful that with the new changes, the student body's sense of curiousity will be the driving factor towards their participation in the day's events.
Q4. What are some of the roadblocks to contracting with a big artist?
a. One of the biggest roadblocks in working with agencies who bring big name artists is their travel and touring schedules - it is tremendously difficult to find an artist that is able to work us into their routing without charging a fiscally irresponsible cost. In the past, the JEC has stuggled to find a band or artist that is willing to work within our price range and still provide the "name recognition" that students desire.
As an institutional programming board on the CSB/SJU campuses, we have a responsibility to provide a diverse array of events throughout the entire academic school year. With rising costs we simply cannot afford contracting with a big artist.
Lastly, due to contracting clauses, many big artists maintain the right to withdraw their agreement with no regard for the commitment made to our school. In the past we have had problems with artists backing out of their commitment to us because of bigger and better opportunities, leaving us scrambling to find a new band at the last minute.
Q5. Are CSB/SJU Alumnae invited?
a. Of course! We see the Pines Tradition as a wonderful, community building event that is the perfect representation of the Benedictine Tradition. We want our Alumnae to come back and experience the beauty of this event, an event that takes place in Clemens Stadium, where the Johnnies continue to make history. Due to the new venue, however, we are limiting the number of Alumnae entries to 100. We will see how it goes this year, and make the appropriate changes for next year.
Q6. What makes the new Pines Tradition more reflective of CSB/SJU?
a. Three words: the Benedictine Values. Take a look at this link-- Benedictine Values. I challenge you to name one Benedictine Value that isn't representative of this new tradition.
Q7. What sort of food is being served?
a. This year we are going for a "Taco in a bag" entree. Its easy, simple, and an all-around favorite! Tacos will be served until supplies runout.
Q8. What is this one guest policy I keep hearing about?
a. Each CSB/SJU student and faculty or staff member is allowed to bring one non-campus guest to 12 Pines. In order that we may provide hosbitality in the Benedictine tradition, we ask that you register your guest at the link below. One the form is fulfilled you will receive an official guest ticket. Your guest must have this ticket for his/her admission.

As a United States citizen, and a disabled veteran of the Korean War, along with being a registered voter and taxpayer, I posses a U.S. issued passport for traveling out of the country. The issued passport by the State Department allows me to re-enter the United States on my returning from my travel abroad.
Why then do all these foreign immigrants receive a free pass to enter this country without an issued passport by the State Department? In my opinion, our president and government believe illegal immigrants are more important than the American citizen.
We have a U.S. Marine in Mexican custody with no concern of this situation by this president. Why hasn't our great Congress stepped forward to stop the country's bleeding? The country has lost all its value and pride with this active administration. This would never happen if our beloved Ronald Reagan were still alive as our president, may he rest in peace.

Most New York Subway Service Resumes
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday that 80% of service in the New York City subway system has been restored, including critical under-river connections between Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.
The Nos. 4 and 5 lines were running through pumped-out tunnels under the East River into Brooklyn, and the No. 7 line is running from Midtown into Queens, Mr. Cuomo said in a press briefing outside a National Guard food distribution site. The No. 6 train, which runs from the Brooklyn Bridge up Lexington Avenue in Manhattan and into the Bronx, also resumed operation, he said.
Transit Tracker: What's Running
Check the latest on trains, subways, and bridges and tunnels.
The resumption of most subway service has been quicker than some city officials had expected, coming in the wake of a storm and flooding that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority called the worst in its 108-year history.
In his news briefing Saturday morning, Mr. Cuomo also said eight million gallons of fuel have already been delivered and another 28 million gallons will come into New York City over the next two days.
"Fuel is on its way. You don't have to panic," the governor said. "Beginning today you will see an increase in the supply."
The gasoline was being trucked in to gas stations that have electricity, and generators were being delivered to stations that have gasoline but no power. Also, five mobile gas-distribution centers were set up at armories in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. They were to distribute a maximum of 10 gallons of gas per person, free of charge, Mr. Cuomo said.
But by late afternoon the National Guard said in a statement that it had closed the mobile fueling stations to everyone except emergency personnel and first responders as fuel-hungry crowds formed long lines for the free gas..
"The Department of Defense mobile fueling stations are currently shut down for the public so that emergency personnel and first responder vehicles can utilize them. Members of the public should not go to these fueling stations. It is also important to remember that 28 million gallons of fuel are headed to this area right now and the lines at stations across the city should dissipate soon," wrote Eric Durr, spokesman for the New York State Division of Military Affairs.
The Metropolitan Taxicab Board of Trade on Saturday said in statement that it has been a "challenge" for taxi drivers to obtain gas. "It's a simple equation: if there is no gas, there will be no cabs," said statement, which added that industry and city officials were working "to ensure continued yellow taxi service for millions of New Yorkers and visitors."
Some cab drivers in Manhattan have reported driving as far as Connecticut to refill their tanks.
Driving downtown on Friday with a fare, cabbie Adrian Beznea of Manhattan said his partner had been forced to drive north as far as Mount Vernon, N.Y. for fuel. Mr. Bezmea said he wasn't sure where he would go to fill up when his tank ran low.
All power has been restored in Manhattan, and 60% of all homes and businesses in the city that lost electricity during the storm now have light again, Mr. Cuomo said. However, there are still 900,000 customers in the New York City metro area and 550,000 customers in Long Island without power.
The return of electricity to more of the city helped make it possible for MTA Chairman Joseph Lhota to launch subway service at 10 a.m. ET on the Nos. 4 and 5 lines, as well as the No. 6 line, which connects downtown Brooklyn and the Lexington Avenue line in Manhattan—the busiest mass-transit line in the U.S. The No. 7 train also resumed service at 10 a.m., and the Staten Island Railway was set to rumble back to life on Saturday as well.
More service will be restarted as the weekend continues, officials said.
Mr. Lhota said A train service will be restored from Lefferts Boulevard in Queens to Manhattan's Washington Heights section by Monday morning, and the D, F, M and J trains would resume service into Brooklyn later Saturday.
Mr. Lhota said some under-river tunnels remain flooded. The 14th Street tube, which carries the busy L train into Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood, is still inundated "from wall to wall and floor to ceiling," the MTA chairman said, and there is no timetable for restoring under-river service to Manhattan.
Mr. Lhota said five of the seven under-river tunnels that flooded have been cleared of water. Repair work continues at the West 4th Street station in Greenwich Village, where the crews are currently replacing switches.
Once that work is completed, Mr. Lhota said the temporary bus service launched Thursday to ferry passengers from Brooklyn to Lower Manhattan will be halted.
By Saturday night, Mr. Lhota said, the Q train could resume service from Brooklyn's flood-damaged Coney Island neighborhood along Prospect Park, over the Manhattan Bridge and up through Midtown to Queens. The R train will run from Forest Hills in Queens to 34th Street-Herald Square in Manhattan.
On Sunday, the MTA announced the return of No. 3 train service from Harlem to Brooklyn, and a partial resumption on the Metro-North Port Jervis line.
Monday morning will bring even more service, Mr. Lhota said Saturday, including on the No. 2 train from Brooklyn to northern Manhattan and partial service on the N trains from Astoria in Queens to 59th Street in Brooklyn. The E train will run its regular route from Queens to Lower Manhattan, and the No. 1 train will terminate at Rector Street in Manhattan.
Most Metro-North commuter rail lines will operate at full service by Monday morning, Mr. Lhota said. The exceptions are the New Canaan line, which will be replaced by buses and the Pascack Valley line, which will remain closed.
The Long Island Rail Road will offer limited service on every one of its branch lines except the Long Beach branch.
Much work remains, including rebuilding of destroyed sections of track and stations, including the washed-out A subway line in Far Rockaway, Queens, and the still-inundated station at South Ferry in Lower Manhattan.
The 14th Street tube of the L train is a special concern because of how much floodwater remains in it. "I'm particularly worried about" that line, Mr. Lhota said, "because of how long it is."
The Brooklyn-to-Queens G line could be restored next week, but first its tube under the Newtown Creek must be pumped out.
The subway system serves 5.5 million riders per day, according to the MTA, making it the largest rapid-transit system in the country.
"I have never met people more dedicated and so much in love with what they do," Mr. Lhota said of the agency's workers. "They've done a phenomenal job and they've gotten New York back on its feet again."
As it rumbles back to life in a battered condition that is far from its normal working trim, the largest mass-transit system in the U.S. has managed the rare feat of surprising transit observers with the speed of its recovery.
"Some of what they're doing borders on the edge of magic," said Gene Russianoff, staff attorney at the Straphangers Campaign, a transit-advocacy group, before the most recent restorations were announced.
Mr. Russianoff's role in the public debate over the subways is usually that of a critic. Although he has praised Mr. Lhota's leadership this year, no fare increase or service cutback is proposed without the Straphangers staunch insistence that riders get a better deal.
Mr. Russianoff had a simple explanation for why the riding public seemed to be cutting the MTA slack—and even offering praise—as it struggled back to life this week in less and less abbreviated form: the people had seen the alternative.
"You always talk about what what would happen if there were no subways in New York," he said. "We had that experience this week, and it was just awful."
The MTA had been running what it called a "bus bridge" since the partial restart of the subway on Thursday morning, more than three days after service was shut down ahead of the storm's arrival. The temporary service connected stations in Midtown to Brooklyn via a looping network of 330 buses that crossed two bridges. Rush-hour waits for buses were hours long.
That ad-hoc system will be shut down as more subway service comes back online, Mr. Lhota said. His agency learned on the fly how to use buses to provide a replacement link after the total loss of its connections across the East River.
"God hoping we don't ever have to do that again," he said.

On a publication that I work on I run into a problem where hyphenated words are hyphenated again at the end of a line. (Here's an example: self-sufficent would end up self-suffi-cent) Is there a way to change the hyphenation settings so that this will not happen?
This is slightly tricky. If you're dealing with specific words and need to prevent this kind of double-hyphenation, then a custom dictionary approach as Lèse refers to will do the trick. This won't work for the more general case where you want to prevent any hyphenated word from being again hyphenated by InDesign.
Normally, I do this kind of tweak during the final typographic "fine tuning" pass through a document, after the author has signed (in blood, on the grave of his grandmother) a solemn vow that all editorial changes are complete. During this pass, I'm handling widows, orphans, any kind of awkward line breaks, rivers, and so on. For unseemly hyphenation, the straightforward handling is to highlight what you don't want to break and select "No Break" from the Character Panel flyout. For extra credit, and always preferably, set up a "No Break" character style ahead of time, and apply that to the offending word.
If you've an urge toward typographic tyranny, you can set up GREP styles in your Body Copy paragraph style to ensure that no hyphenated word ever breaks, other than at its hard hyphen. This is tricky, because you can't just grep for hyphenated words and assign "No Break", because then they won't break at the hyphen either. There is another way to prevent a word from hyphenating, though. Read on... :)
Your first GREP style assigns the "No Break" character style to the second part of all hyphenated words. The expression
Your second GREP style is the one that separates the propeller-heads from regular, sensible people with better things to do than think up weird tricks in InDesign. It assigns a "No Language" character style to the first part of all hyphenated words, using
Here's the before:
and the after (the two character styles are indicated by cyan and magenta text):
You need discretionary hyphens. If you want to make sure that word is always hyphenated at that point, then you can create a custom dictionary list.
Just to clarify, discretionary hyphens are normally used to insert a "discretionary" hyphen—i.e. one that is only rendered when InDesign's paragraph composer decides to hyphenate the word. However, the discretionary hyphen also forces InDesign to only hyphenate the word at that point.
So if you type "self-sufficient" and then insert a discretionary hyphen after the "-" then that forces InDesign to hyphenate only between the "self-" and "sufficient" and nowhere else, effectively preventing the double-hyphenation of a hyphenated word.
I was able to make a hyphenated word break only at the hyphen, without using a discretionary hyphen, using 2 GREP styles in the Body Copy paragraph style. I simply expanded on the GREP code that Alan Gilbertson originally posted.
Both GREP styles use the No Language character style.
The first GREP style is
The second GREP style is

Mossad HaRav Kook has Rambam's own Sefer HaMitzvot with his original Judeo-Arabic and the Hebrew translation, side-by-side ("mekor v'targum.") You could probably pick it up from those parallel texts.
If you are simply looking for a Grammar in Medieval Arabic(which if I am not mistaken would be Classical Arabic), you should try an Islamic bookstore, as that is what the Qu'ran is written in and thus what most Muslims need to learn in order to read it in its original language. Or you could try typing Classical Arabic into Amazon as I just did.
If you are trying to learn Judeo-Arabic that could be a bit trickier. First you have the Hebraisms in the language. Then you have the transliteration system(which is not always so standard), as well as adjustments for local dialect as you come into the Modern Arabic period(which the Rambam wrote during the cross over period).
If you are really committed to learning Arabic and Judeo Arabic, I would say start with Classical Arabic, and then tackle some side by side translations such as Shalom suggested. If your goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the Moreh aside from what is available in translation and commentaries by other Judeo-Arabic speaking Rishonim, understand that it will probably take you several years of serious study to develop the necessary fluency to understand the nuance of the language sufficiently. Hatzlaha.
Knowledge of Classical Arabic is sufficient; any specifically Medieval (more exactly: 'Middle Arabic') deviations from the classical in the Rambam's language are very minor. And learning the convention for representing Arabic in Hebrew letters as used in the Guide is a trivial task if you know the Arabic alphabet. You can therefore use primers meant for Classical Arabic to learn the basics and dictionaries of Classical Arabic when working through the text. Arabic dictionaries are organized by root, so you need to figure out a word's root before you can look it up, which can be quite a challenge when the root has weak letters that disappear or change in various conjugations or when letters are prefixed, suffixed, or in-fixed (as often happens in plural forms), i.e., just to look up a word in the dictionary you have to have basic competence in grammar and a 'feel' for the language.
Linguistically, there is another layer on top of Classical Arabic itself: Aristotelian philosophical and scientific terminology (as Shalom noted). These are terms that would not be familiar to most people who read Classical Arabic nowadays: Greek terms for which the original translators of Greek texts into Arabic found or invented Arabic equivalents. The Rambam uses these constantly. This issue will come up, by the way, even if you read the Guide in Hebrew: ibn Tibbon created his own matching vocabulary in Hebrew and it is just as unknown to even well-educated contemporary readers of Hebrew.
Learning any language is an enormous amount of work. You can spend years and years and still be just a beginner. Arabic is a particularly complex and difficult language--it is much more complex than Hebrew, for example. It is hard to get anywhere without people to teach you and without hour after hour of struggle.
I'd recommend the standard texts below:
David Cowan's Modern Literary Arabic
and the Hans Wehr Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic.
The reason I recommend these is that, while there are some differences between modern standard Arabic and classical Arabic, these are excellent works on the former, and mastering written Arabic will be more than adequate to prepare you to approach classical texts.
The industry standard book for Classical Arabic is "A Grammar of the Arabic Language" by William Wright. This is a translation of a tutorial originally written in German by Carl Caspari. The edition I have is actually two volumes in two separate books.
I am not an expert in Judeo-Arabic or Jewish Arabic of the middle ages. However, I would speculate that a scholar with a mastery of both Biblical Hebrew and Classical Arabic would be able to navigate through Rambam's writings. Modern Standard Arabic (فصحى) grammar has not changed much from the language of the Qur'an (~600 CE). Since Rambam's Judeo-Arabic fell in between these two times, I would not expect his grammar to be vastly different. As Paquda mentioned above, there may be foreign vocuabulary words which are unfamiliar.

has anyone noticed a difference in the HIBERNATE or SUSPEND modes when you close the lid?
no matter what i choose, the laptop is still warm the next day.
i thought one of those was to put the laptop into a sleep like mode which basically turns everything off but not totally off.
any ideas?
and i just noticed (after a night) that the fan must have been running all night long too.
surely there must be a way to 'sleep' this laptop, or?

I have just install Ubuntu 11.10 64 bits on Samsung 900X today. At first, the computer was noisy and hot but after applying the fix of page 12, It have improved so much.The system is perfectly usable, almost everything works fine. However, there are things that could be improved/fixed:
-Touch-pad multi-touch and gestures: I have experience some problems with right click so I apply the psmouse fix. About multi-touch; I have realized that people had MULTITOUCH in previous versions (they activate some gestures in pref>mouse>touchpad). With 11.10 it's like the computer detects touchpad as a mouse so "Touchpad" window it's not showed. Does anybody have multitouch or ubuntu detects the hardware correctly?
-Keyboard Light Keys: they are off as default, the key don't work. I do some research and I don't found any working fix.
-Battery life: with the fix I said at first I have about 3 hour of battery power with wireless and max screen brightness .
I will keep trying to fix this problems, any collaboration is valued
Thank you for your attention and interest
Using Broadcom BCM43225 802.11/g/n (rev 01) in Debian testing on a 900X1B, both Open Source brcm80211 and closed sourced Broadcom STA driver perform poorly, losing around 25% of the packets just pinging the AP. The STA driver seems to be less prone to frequent disconnections.
None of the drivers support power saving (it is planned for brcm80211), you can make things better by turning off power save for the wireless interface. You can check the current configuration with
If your wireless interface (wlan0 for brcm80211, eth1 for STA) has a line like thisCode:sudo /sbin/iwconfig
the power management is on, otherwise you should seeCode:Power Managementmode:All packets received
The wireless power management can be turned off withCode:Power Management:off
As a simple test you can start pinging an AP with power management on and after a while turn off power management, you should see ping times drop by two orders of magnitude.Code:sudo /sbin/iwconfig power off
This change can be made permanent by creating the file
/etc/pm/power.d/wireless containing the two lines (use wlan0 instead of eth1 if you are using the brcm80211 driver):
The file must be executable, you can set the persmissions byCode:#!/bin/sh /sbin/iwconfig eth1 power off
SeeCode:sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/power.d/wireless
It is far from perfect, but with power management off the performance is acceptable.

Things were working ok with 11.04. After upgrading to 11.10, I've had weird wifi issues. I decided to do a clean install. It worked fine for a while, but not I have no wifi at all... Any help getting started with debugging this? Thanks!
It works great for me.
Just finished installing 11.10 on a brand new Samsung 900X3A-B02 (revision 2).
So far most of it works out-of-the-box: wifi, bluetooth, camera, mic, etc.
What doesn't (the usual suspects):
- fn+F7/F8 (keyboard dimming)
- fn+F1 (settings?)
- fn+F6 (power mode)
- fn+F12 (toggle wifi)
Other stuff that's missing:
- fn+F5 to toggle touchpad works, but an empty notification pops up.
- Touchpad is recognized as a mouse (not Touchpad tab in the settings, no multitouch settings
I miss 2-finger scrolling

The US is set to bypass Russia in the production of liquid fuels such as crude and ethanol this quarter, the IEA said, as global demand for oil is rising faster than expected.
By BENOIT FAUCON
The US is set to bypass Russia in the production of liquid
fuels such as crude and ethanol this quarter, a top energy
watchdog said Thursday, as global demand for oil is picking up
faster than expected.
In its closely watched monthly oil report, the International
Energy Agency said that "including biofuels (ethanol and biodiesel), the US is
set to become the leading non‐OPEC liquids producer as of
the third quarter, bypassing Russia."
But the IEA, which represents some of the world's largest
energy consumers, didn't say how US output will fare compared
with Saudi Arabia, the largest producer in the Organization of
the Petroleum Exporting Countries.
It added that stripping out biofuels and refinery gains, US total liquids
production would trail Russia by 500,000 bpd.
The news comes as North America is playing an increasingly
pivotal role in responding to rising global oil demand amid a
collapse in Libyan production.
Oil production from the US and Canada combined is expected
to grow 510,000 bpd in the third quarter, the IEA
Those extra barrels will have no problem finding buyers as
the agency said global oil demand would be about 260,000 bpd
higher than it had previously expected for this quarter. The
IEA also upgraded its forecast for global oil demand growth for
next year by 70,000 bpd as "the macroeconomic
backdrop continues to improve."
That means the world's need for oil next year will increase
by 1.1 million bpd, or 1.2%, to 92 million bpd.

Does anyone know of a good online name generator that can be set up to create random names with culture-specific flavour? (Meaning, for example, names that sound like Russian, Norwegian etc etc.)

A flexible name generator with 'chapters' for names from earth culture (Africa to Oceania), as well as several well known settings (WHFRP to Startrek) as well as this it's possible to make a custom library for it to generate names from (it'll apply linguistic rules and generate new names out of the list you provide)
Very Snazzy
Aaron Sherman's mkname CGI script
Lists several countries/regions (from African to Icelandic to Polish to Welsh) and generates a list of 10 names for both male and female characters matching the selection (some languages, like Hebrew, Iranian and Icelandic, also include non-latin characters in the names).
You can select from several pre-configured options (Chineese Names, Greek Names, Hawaiian Names, ...) or enter a custom pattern describing the name format after which you want to have names generated.
http://www.apocwords.net/systems/names.html does Afghan, African, American, Ancient, Arabic, British, Bulgarian, Chaos, Chinese, Dutch, Dwarvish, Eastern, Egyptian, Egyptian, Elvish, Empire, European, Finnish, French, German, Halfling, Hebrew, Indian, Iranian, Iraqi, Irish, Israeli, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Norwegian, Pakistani, Phillipino, Portugese, Roman, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Vietnamese
The random generator on Behind the Name is always my go to source, especially because I run/play 7th Sea and need a host of culturally diverse names. Simply check whatever roots you want and away you go. Normally I select it to add three middle names when searching for a first name that fits the bill. The best part is that you can just hit the refresh button to have the same parameters reloaded, back button once to change constraints.

In our aerodynamics class we recently discussed the concept of static and dynamic pressure and discussed their application to aircraft instruments. However, I do not understand properly how the altimeter can work.
First of all a small recap of Bernoulli's law. The total pressure is given by $p_t = \frac{1}{2} \rho V^2 + p_s$ and is constant along a streamline. Consequently, the static pressure is given by $p_s = p_t - \frac{1}{2} \rho V^2$.
Now imagine a low speed windtunnel. In a reservoir the speed is so low that it can be assumed to be $V=0$ m/s. Hence here the static pressure equals the total pressure, $p_t = p_s$. Now the fluid is accelerated along a streamline, and hence the static pressure should drop according to the relation given above.
Now this is where my problem is. I read that the altimeter just measures the static pressure at flight level to obtain the pressure altitude. According to the explanation given above, however, this can not be, as the static pressure in the flow will be lower than the static pressure at the same altitude at zero velocity.

Your Cart
Your cart is empty!
Engineering textbooks – for example, Engineering Mechanics Statics by R.C. Hibbeler, and Drafting Fundamentals by Raymond C. Scott, Ronald L. Foy, and Mark Schwendau – are some of the most frequently updated books by publishing companies. The field of Engineering is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Engineering books to rent – we have them all!
These problems aren't limited to Engineering studies. Aerospace and Automotive are related subjects that often see frequently updated editions as well. Textbook rentals are much easier. Start to rent textbooks with BookRenter and save on Engineering textbooks, as well as Bioengineering textbooks, or whatever you like! They're better than used textbooks.
Since launching the first textbook rental site in 2006, BookRenter has never wavered from our mission to make education more affordable for all students.

Dear fellow mathematicians,
during some gauge-theoretic explorations
I've stumble upon a recent paper by Nick Manton on Abelian higgs vortices where he studies Abelian higgs "vortices" on hyperbolic surfaces.
Does anyone have any historical knowledge of whether the word vortex in this context have any connection with point vortices from fluid dynamics?
Dear fellow mathematicians,
during some gauge-theoretic explorations
The study of vortices in Abelian Higgs models in the context of relativistic QFT goes back to the paper by Nielsen and Olesen, Nucl.Phys.B61:45-61,1973. They in turn were directly inspired by the study of vortices carrying quantized magnetic flux in type II superconductors which goes back to Abrikosov (see his Nobel lecture here: http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2003/abrikosov-lecture.html). In that context the Abelian gauge field is identified with the electromagnetic field and the Higgs field with the Cooper pair of electrons. I have not gone back to the original papers by Abrikosov (which are probably in Russian) but I would guess that the term vortex is based on an analogy to fluid mechanics with the vorticity of the fluid vortex (curl of the velocity field) being analogous to the magnetic field of the Abelian Higgs vortex (curl of the vector potential).
I expect that this terminology came from an analogy of an analogy.
Quoting from Quantum Field Theory of Anyons, by Fröhlich and Marchetti (1988), "Particles with real spin and intermediate statistics have been called 'anyons' by Wilczek [1]. He suggested that electrically charged magnetic vortices, occuring in certain Higgs models, may be examples of such particles."
So certain types of anyons can reasonably be, and have been, called vortices. I looked at the Manton paper, but didn't understand it at all; however, my guess is that the things Manton is calling vortices are related to the electrically charged magnetic vortices mentioned above (and if you consider these just mathematically and not physically, there is no apparent reason that they should be called vortices).
I would welcome corrections from anyone with better knowledge of the historical record (my answer came from knowing about the anyonic vortex terminology and Google).
