I am trying to learn cryptanalysis on the Keccak hash function. One of the papers on zero sum distinguishers talks about Keccak having inverse degree of 3.
I am unable to figure this out: how do you get an inverse degree of 3? For example one of the permutations Chi in Keccak does the multiplication in GF(2). So I would guess that means the image transformation for Keccak has degree 2, but am unable to figure out how they derive degree 3 for preimage or inverse or going backwards.
If someone can point me to a resource, that would be of great help, since I am unable to find one.

On Succos we celebrate starting the second night Simchas Bais HaShoaiva. According to the Chachamim we can not start on the first night as we use musical instruments and it is not Doche Shabbos or Yom Tov. However in the Gemara Succa 50b Reb Yossi holds it is Doche Shabbos and Yom Tov. Then why according to Reb Yossi do we not start Simchas Bais HaShoaiva on the first night?

Maybe because that's how it was done in the Beis Hamikdash? Since SBHS there involved musical instruments, it couldn't take place on Shabbos or Yom Tov (Sukkah 50a-b).
That said, there are communities in which they have SBHS on all nights of Sukkos - with or without music, as the case may be.
For the revised question:
Short answer is that Simhat Beit HaShoeiva as we have it today was a custom primarily starte by the RaShaSh in Yeshivat HaMekubalim Beit El(sources in the Divrei Shalom and Hida to be forthcoming IY"H). So the way in which we do it now, essentially reflects the way the mekubalim of Beit El (re)established the custom.

ingredient information
Cheese Mozzarella Low Moisture Part Skim
Originaly eaten by early egyptians, Anthony discovered this native cheese while visiting Cleopatra. He then sent water buffalo (whos milk the chesse is made) to ceasar in rome as a gift. The Cheese became wide spread in Italy and beyond. A 1-ounce serving of lite mozzarella cheese provides: 59 calories, 8 g protein, 1 g carbohydrate, 2.5 g total fat with 2.4 g is saturated fat, 9 mg cholesterol, 0.1 mg iron, 211 mg calcium, 192 mg sodium, 1 g dietary fiber, 24RE vit A Two types of mozzarella are produced in the USA. Low moisture mozzarella that has a moisture content of less than 50% and high moisture mozzarella that contains more than 52% moisture. The former was developed in the USA to fit our transportation and distribution systems, and it has been available in grocery stores for years. This is the cheese that the huge factories produce for the pizza industry. Fresh mozzarella is different. It is soft and moist and more perishable. It is most often made from cow's milk; however it can be made from a combination of other milks such as cow's milk and goat's milk mixed. There are two basic ways to make mozzarella: direct acidification of the milk to form the curds or the culture/rennet method. In both methods, raw milk is pasteurized and then coagulated to form curds. Once the curds reach a pH of 5.2 they are cut into small pieces and then mixed with hot water and "strung" or "spun" until long ropes of cheese form. This "stringing of the curd" is unique to cheeses in the "pasta filata" family, such as mozzarella, scamorza and provolone. When the proper smooth, elastic consistency is reached, the curds are formed by machine or hand into balls which are then tossed into cold water so that they maintain their shapes while they cool. They are then salted and packaged. It is a short making process, usually less than 8 hours from raw milk to finished cheese. The critical moment is determining exactly when the cheese is mature and ready to be strung...waiting too long can result in a mushy cheese, while stringing too early can result in a tough dry cheese.

I am looking for a solution that would allow me to save online videos, especially YouTube, to the iPad for later offline viewing.
Safari and Chrome
I had no luck getting any extensions working. YouTube intercepts right clicks on video and shows a youtube context menu instead of the native context menu and thereby blocking the download button.
Download YouTube Videos as MP4 and FLV 1.3.8 is an extensions which is compatible with Firefox 11 (as of march 2012). It shows a download button below the Youtube video area.
The download format is
Still, if you want to convert the downloaded video for your mobile devices, you can use a simple tool like the MiroVideoConverter, which is available in the Mac App Store for free.
Check out Zamzar, which allows you to enter the URL of a YouTube movie and translated it to, for example, MP4, which can then be added to your iTunes library and synced to your iPad. Once the translation has finished, you'll get an email with a link to download the new file.
Most solutions I found on the net were not working anymore but I found this Safari extension that worked just fine https://github.com/jonathanboom/YouTube-video-downloader-for-Safari

How I can to configure incoming email in SharePoint Foundations without local SMTP?
Edit: the information is good, but i just checked the links and they are dead. Let me know if the basic info is enough to get you started.
The second answer by Jasonzh2010 has the best information...
I asked a similar question here: How to Enable Email in Lists Without Using Exchange? where the fellow tells how to configure incoming mail - in my case, using an external email server.
SharepointGeorge showed me how to configure iis6 for use with the SMTP server. iis6 comes on your Windows Server 2008, and it is only really used for email. Using it won't mess up your iis7.
To enable mail in your sharepoint lists, you need to configure it in Central Administration - in "System Settings/Configure Incoming Email".
[update] Ah, look at this other thread where I answer in more detail.
Try to use smtp4dev - easy to use small SMTP Server. http://smtp4dev.codeplex.com/
Install the smtp4dev server to any server you want, configure ports. Then open CA and configure outcome email server.

The 16 Most Baffling Pieces of Official Merchandise Ever
We get that stupid kids and distracted parents are going to shill out big cash for action figures or SpongeBob SquarePants macaroni. And we totally get that there are adults out there who are thrilled to spend bigger cash on collectibles from their own childhoods.
But the stuff on this list isn't for either of those groups. Or anyone else, as far as we can tell.
#16. Alien Micro Machines Toys
Via toyarchive
Look to the upper right of the box. That's a bloody, disemboweled man on a box of Micro Machines, tiny toys that were typically sold to "ages 4 and up."
Via toyarchive
"Warning: Small children may present a choking hazard when consumed."
Yes, they made a line of Micro Machines based on the Alien franchise, R-rated movies that are kind of about rape. Though parents can't claim they were deceived -- the box housing the tiny terrors goes out of its way to feature illustrations from the most horrific parts of the movie. There's the guy with the alien exploding through his gut, and the salivating alien chasing a green suited victim and a huge close-up of the behemoth head and chompers of the alien itself. Hey, there's the headlamp guy seconds before he gets face raped!
All that's missing is the facehugger itself for some sweet tiny vehicle/psychological horror pretend play. Still, maybe this line of ridiculousness was intended for hardcore adult collectors of, uh, tiny cars. We can't say the same for...
#15. Dune Children's Activity Books
If you're not clear on why these are a whole other ball of misguided wax, get a load of the illustrations:
Via coilhouse
"Color in the postmortem lividity!"
Via coilhouse
A whole heap of things went wrong here. One was that someone commissioned a line of activity books based on a trippy sci-fi drama about space drugs, complicated galactic political intrigues and Sting in wing panties.
"Sting has lost all his clothes. Connect the dots to find them!"
And they commissioned it without realizing that Dune's themes were clearly too mature for kids, even as they were drawing pictures of murdered corpses on a cold tile floor. Also on the list of things the creators didn't realize: that no kid in his right mind was going to give a second shit about this shitty movie. Which is too bad, because now we're looking at these illustrations and thinking no-bake spice cookies probably deserve a second chance.
Via coilhouse
"Ask an adult for the required awareness spectrum narcotic. If none is available, cinnamon will probably do."
#14. Jar Jar Binks Candy Tongue
Via automaticlifestyledispenser
When it came time to create merchandise to promote soon-to-be-released The Phantom Menace, the licensing guys outdid themselves. Especially when they came up with a candy that featured Jar Jar Binks thrusting his dick-shaped candy tongue out of his gaping mouth while smiling eagerly and holding a wide-eyed frenzied gaze.
Via toplessrobot
Because French-kissing the penis mouth of the most hated Star Wars character in history was exactly what kids were into those days. Or any days, really.
#13. Thor Dumbbell (and Alarm Clock)
Via comicbookmovie
It takes some franchises years to degrade to the point where they just start sticking a label on any product out there, but Thor decided to start that stupid shit right out of the gate. This alarm clock, seemingly only available overseas or in Thor promotional prize packs, not only has nothing to do with the movie, as gods generally don't have to pump iron to stay in shape, but it's also the worst designed alarm clock we've ever seen.
Both ends are completely round, which means when you turn it off in the morning there is a very good chance that it will actually roll away from you, then fall to the floor or destroy your lamp or your dignity, whichever it runs into first.
#12. KISS Kaskets
Via afgrant
The only thing harder than losing a loved one is losing a loved one and then watching him meet his final resting place in a coffin plastered with a band advertisement. Specifically one that is covered in flames, which clearly signifies a place where you don't want your loved ones to go after they die.
Never ones to back down from an ill-advised commercial venture, KISS has put their koffins up for sale not once, but twice, apparently because dead people couldn't get enough of them. And if the thought of spending eternity in the equivalent of a 1979 Trapper Keeper isn't bad enough, the always klassy Gene Simmons actually made sure everyone knew "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was buried in one, presumably because Pantera hadn't yet got their shit together to market their own gaudy coffin yet.
#11. Lando Calrissian Disguise Kit
Via Armen Atoyan
We have to admit, we're a little bit torn on this one. On the one hand, this lazy ass stain of a mustache is on sale for $7.99 right now -- not 25 years ago, not in your wet dreams, but right now. And not from the neighborhood Spencer's either, from Lucasfilm itself.
On the other hand... notice that instead of capturing the iconic stache-skin-stache of the real Billy Dee mustache, a specimen of facial hair that gracefully descended from the nostrils into two separate caterpillars of awesome, these jokers slapped some fuzz on a cardboard cutout and took off for a smoke break. We have to admit, the audacity of the disguise is in itself pretty badass. And considering we're 95 percent sure the makers of the disguise are in on the joke, and that every single member of the Cracked staff is sporting one right now ...
Via Wikimedia Commons
Lando? Is that you?
... we're going to go ahead and proclaim this product a raging success.
#10. Urkel-Os
Via mamapop
We'd be lying if we pretended to understand the phenomenon that was Steve Urkel. Or Family Matters. Or the entire early '90s TGIF lineup. So why anyone would consider putting the likeness of a nasal teen whose junk is perpetually crushed by his own ill-fitting pants on a strawberry and banana flavored breakfast food is beyond us. Toys, yes. Novelty suspenders, of course. But on nourishment that you soak in milk and then put into your mouth hole? Eww.
Via gunaxin
Also note the total lack of effort on the cereal itself. It's two-color Froot Loops. They didn't even bother to make the pieces shaped like nerdy glasses or something. Still, like Elmo or the blond one from You Can't Do That on Television, Urkel was a character that kids inexplicably liked. So it at least made a little sense. We can't say the same for ...
#9. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Cereal
Via tvland
Just like Urkel-O's, this cereal was also released by Ralston in 1991, otherwise known as "The Year Actual Monkeys Took Over the Management of Ralston." Despite the fourth-grade art on the cover, this was, in fact, the official cereal for the Kevin Costner film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. And you know it was official because it was full of dicks.
OK, we owe Urkel-O's an apology. You should stick with the basic cereal shapes because once you translate something like, say, an arrow to an industrial cereal press, you have no idea what you're going to wind up with. And a lot of stuff looks like dicks.

I recently received a Logitech Rumblepad 2 (a joystick, like a PS2 controller) from a friend.
How would I configure this in Ubuntu? If possible, I would prefer to use a GUI utility.
I tried
jstest-gui, but it shows my accelerometer!
This process will work for Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) and older versions. For the newest versions please refer to this Answer by RolandiXor. Thank you.
Not tested by me, but found in a link provided at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=393425, I hope this may help.
There is also an application called jstest-gtk, which seems to do something like that, I post here a screenshot and the link for you: https://github.com/Grumbel/jstest-gtk (This software may need to be compiled in order to make it work)
It is possible to calibrate Joysticks in Kubuntu using KDE's system settings. This is a bit of an "overkill" solution, as of course it requires KDE (and most Ubuntu users will not want this).
I did not have my joystick plugged in for the above screenshot, but I have tried it before and it works.
JStest gtk and joystick
These are two tools included in the Ubuntu repositories that I have not tested recently (I found these when looking for other options). The first of the two, jstest-gtk, is a graphical tool, and
You can install them using:
Jstest-gtk is a front end to joystick's commandline tools.
I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 and have Logitech Rumblepad 2. And what I did was installing these, joystick and jstest-gtk. It's already been calibrate to default and joystick device is detected right. Just plug and play.
If you need to calibrate and save your configuration you can do this, open jtest-gtk, You will see this,
You can calibrate by double click on the device.
Hope it will help you out as it has done to me.
I am currently using qjoypad for mapping keys (even the mouse) to a Logitech Gamepad F310. It's working well for games that are designed with only keyboard and mouse controls in mind. It seems to require being run from cli as

Then update and install package
Alternatively download the package here and install with your favorite package manager.
The answers here are getting a bit old now, and users seem to be having issues again, so this is an current 2016 solution to configuring your joystick or gamepad on Ubuntu.
You can use

When you learn to program games, you need all the fundamental knowledge that you would gain in a traditional Computer Science degree and the ability to apply that knowledge. At DigiPen (not sure about Full Sail) you start by creating a text-based game in a group of four. This is done second semester, after you have learned all the general knowledge of C. In the C programming class, you do nothing with games, it is taught traditionally just as in a regular University setting. Second year involves a group of 4 or more, as people get to choose how many in a development team. Artists are thrown into the mix as well and you develop a fully functional 2-D game. Again, when you learn all the programming languages, you are not taught how to use them in video games. There is a class required every semester called GAM (Game Development). This is the class where you create your games.
Third year is like second except you create a fully functional 3-D game, with networking capabilities. More artists are required, and preferably more programmers. The purpose of this class is to put students in a real world environment. When you create games for a career, you do it just as you do at DigiPen, in large groups where each member has a unique and specific role.
Location: UK
I was being very general and talking from personal experience. Out of all the games courses in the world, I would say 95% are junk and don't teach you the same things as a Computer Science degree and give you a 'jack of all trades' education and miss some of the fundamentals you need for other jobs. When I compare what I did (from a games course) with other people from a CS degree, I do worry somewhat when I decide to switch careers. For example, they had to write their own compiler for a custom language which means they have a core knowledge of how a compiler works.
I am also echoing the general sentiment of games developers view on games courses from other forums and people I know.
Also bear in mind that the OP wants to go to Full Sail which is a very slippery slope when started. It is expensive, intensive and really doesn't offer much more over a traditional CS degree taking into consideration that he has to move to another country to get this 'games specific education'. IIRC, they don't offer refunds of any kind either.

I want to connect to a Sharepoint list from ArcMap. Without knowing very much about these things I thought that it would be possible to read this non-spatial data to create lookup tables in my file geodatabase. In searching for an answer, I can't seem to get away from ArcGIS for Sharepoint, which isn't what I'm looking for at all. I'm using ArcGIS 10.0
I have not tested this, but I suggest looking at a Python library like python-sharepoint to copy data from the Sharepoint list and then use ArcPy to write it into a file geodatabase table.
I need this functionality and asked Esri about it, with no success...
Another way to link ArcGIS and SharePoint is to show the ArcGIS attributes table in SharePoint as a list. It is even possible to update it from SharePoint with SQL commands. This can be easily done with Tools like Layer2 bdlc or SharePointBoost Data connector. It is supported by Esri whith some restrictions (you can't use versioned database, shouldn't update ID columns or shape colums, etc.). I did it with an SQLServer Database but should work with Oracle.
Hope this helps

Could you advise a site to learn Texas Hold'em, interactively?
The best interactivity is playing with other real opponents. Just open a poker client and keep playing. If you are to scared to play for real money play for play money. After you finish your session do a hand review. Pick a couple of hands which you remember as tough or pick the ones where you won most or lost most and see what you did to get to this outcome. If you are puzzled then ask someone to give you a comment. Trial and error is the best way to get better.
I don't know exactly what you mean by interactive learning. The best way to learn is to read the basic theory and then practice and practice. If you're very very new to the game, playing micro-stakes online is a good starting step. After you do that for a while, call a few friends and play a few hours at your house (or at their house). Or go to a local casino and play some small buy-in games.
Read the rules and then head off to your favorite (or soon to be favorite) site that lets you play for play money. Once you feel ready for real money, transition over. The sites available vary by geography, so you'll need to poke around to find the ones accessible to you.
Personally I read the rules, watched WPT and WSOP, and played a lot on Poker Stars as well as some home games I knew about.
Well, I would say join some poker game and play on small tables.. best way to learn :-)

CAMERON (February 8, 2013)—Kirsten Salerno, 28, a nurse from College Station, who was killed Thursday morning in a two-vehicle crash on a rural highway near Cameron, was the wife of Texas A&M Consolidated High School soccer coach Stefano Salerno, whose team and friends are rallying to raise money to help the couple's families travel here for her funeral.
Salerno and his wife are both originally from Malta.
The accident happened at around 7:15 a.m. Thursday.
DPS troopers say Kirsten Salerno was driving a 2007 Toyota sedan west on FM 485 near Milam County Road 132 when an eastbound Toyota crossed the center line and struck her car on the driver's side.
Dr. Allan Nickel, 63, of Temple, suffered facial injuries in the crash and was taken to Scott & White Hospital.
Quinn Williams, whose son plays on Stefano Salerno's team, is working with other parents to organize a fundraiser to bring members of the couple's family from Malta to College Station for the funeral.
"If you don't know coach Salerno…he is an outstanding individual," Williams said.
Organizers are accepting cash, food donations, and even frequent flyer miles.
"We're doing all we can to raise as much cash as we can for the families of both Coach Salerno's wife and his family to come here to mourn the death of his wife," Williams said.
Friday night Williams' son put Kirsten's name on his soccer cleats for the team's game in Conroe.
"The boys are really behind him on this," Williams said.
So far more than $7,000 has been raised, money that will help unite families half a world away.
Two local club soccer teams will also launch a fundraiser Monday selling wristbands in Kirsten Salerno's memory for $5 each.

NYU has never thought of itself as a gated community. It has always encouraged its students to think of themselves as participants in and shapers of a complex and changing environment. Indeed, part of NYU's teaching mission consists in preparing students for lives in a diverse world, and faculty at NYU believe that such preparation is most effective when the outside world is not held at bay. This same principle holds true as we create a Global Network University that is both "in and of the city" and "in and of the world."
Our locations beyond the main portal campus in New York City include NYU Abu Dhabi, TischAsia in Singapore, NYU Law in Singapore, and 10 academic sites in Accra, Ghana; Berlin, Germany, Buenos Aires, Argentina; Florence, Italy; London, England; Madrid, Spain; Paris, France; Prague, the Czech Republic; Shanghai, China; and Tel Aviv, Israel.
Around the world, students work closely with faculty and with their peers on shared commitments. They apply what they learn and develop the skills and qualities—both needed and expected in this increasingly integrated, global climate—to make a real difference in the world.

News Releases
Columbia College head men's basketball coach and athletic director Bob Burchard was surprised with the announcement of a scholarship named in his honor Thursday, Oct. 18 at Boone County National Bank.
Five contributors made leadership gifts to endow the Bob Burchard Celebration of Excellence scholarship. The five lead gifts total $111,000 which is nearing the $125,000 goal. The contributors include: Gene Koepke; Greg Johnston; Web Bixby; Skip and Daisy Grossnickle and the Insurance Group; Kathi and L'Mont Betz; and Boone County National Bank.
"It is with great pleasure that I share with you that a scholarship has been created in Bob Burchard's name to honor his career accomplishments and 25 years of service to Columbia College," said Dr. Gerald Brouder, president of Columbia College.
The newly created scholarship support student athletes and the department of Athletics.
Burchard begins his 25th year as Columbia College head men's basketball coach and athletic director. He was inducted into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Hall of Fame in March 2012. The Hall of Fame is the highest honor bestowed by the NAIA. Inductees must be persons of outstanding quality, high moral character, fine leadership ability and be held in high esteem by colleagues, coaches and athletes. Burchard has been the face of Cougar athletics and especially men's basketball for the past 24 years. Compiling a record of 597-225 (.726), he has the most wins in program history and has led the Cougars to 16 NAIA National Championship appearances. Under his guidance, the Cougars have averaged nearly 25 victories per season, and 84 student-athletes have earned academic all-conference honors; 18 of which have received All-American athletic honors. Burchard has been named American Midwest Conference (AMC) Coach of the Year seven times.
Columbia College is part of the American Midwest Conference (AMC). In the past 18 years, the Cougars have been to 55 NAIA National Championship Tournaments, winning three national titles and placing in the top five on 16 occasions.

If I eat a pastry and grapes at one sitting, do i make two brachos achronot al hamichya and an al haetz? or may I combine the words into one bracha acharona by saying "al haetz V'al hamichya" ?

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The latter is correct. Assuming you ate a proper shiur of both the pastry and the grapes (which creates a requirement for a bracha achrona), you would combine the bracha achrona.
However, the correct order would be "al hamichya v'al hakalkalah, v'al haetz v'al pri haetz" (על המחיה ועל הכלכלה, ועל העץ ועל פרי העץ)
In general, the correct order is:
Similarly, at the end you would substitute the for all the food-types you ate...

I have a My Movies list on IMDb.com and I would like to see how much runtime all the movies and/or TV series in this list sum in total.
For example: Movie A has a 90 min runtime, Movie B has a 120 min runtime, Series C has 2 episodes of 30 min each. The sum would be 270 min or 4 h 30 min. This is what I am searching for—the total.
Is there a way to get this information from the website, that I am unaware off?

Matthew Mead/Associated Press
If you � or your kid � are blanching at the thought of yet another year of day-after-day brown-bagged PB&J, perhaps this is the year to mix up the lunch box offerings a bit.
Of course, that�s an easy thing to say. It�s a lot harder to execute when the morning rush hits and getting the family out of bed and out the door has all the ease of a multinational military maneuver. And that is why the typical parent is unlikely ever to fully abandon that all-American sandwich.
But that doesn�t mean you can�t mix things up now and then. The trick is to have something from which to draw inspiration � and we don�t mean staring blankly into the refrigerator at 7 a.m.
Our advice? Look elsewhere in the world. Wherever you look, parents every day must figure out fun and healthy ways to feed the little ones. Their answers sometimes are startlingly different than our own, but often are easily adapted. It�s a simple way to get inspired, as well as to expose kids to new cultures.
You might even turn it into a family research project. Once a week or month, let the kids pick a new country and read up on what children there eat for lunch. Start at the library; there have been plenty of child-friendly books published on this very subject.
To help you start the year off right, we�ve summed up a few easy ideas.
Bento boxes
Japanese farm workers once carried their lunches into the fields wrapped in bamboo leaves, and later in simple wooden boxes. Today, these bento boxes have evolved into edible works of art, with Japanese parents � and a growing number of Americans � shaping rice balls into hearts and stars, making meatballs into faces, and cutting vegetables into flowers. But even ordinary lunch food takes on a special quality in a bento.
�It�s not so much the type of food, but what I call �a bento state of mind,�� Debra Samuels, author of My Japanese Table, said via e-mail. �I see the concept of bento as basically a food sampler, a colorful culinary puzzle. The benefits of the bento are smaller portions and greater variety of food.�
Think about it � there�s a reason Lunchables are popular with kids. They get a bunch of colorful foods packed into a box. It�s like a private mini buffet. But using a bento box (Laptop Lunches at www.laptoplunches.com makes an especially child-friendly one) lets you create your own (and do so with healthier foods and for less money).
To assemble a bento box, Samuels suggests thinking in terms of five colors or five types of food. Kid-sized vegetables such as mini summer squash, cherry tomatoes and Persian cucumbers make great dippers for dressing. Wraps with meat and vegetables, as well as cheese quesadillas studded with red peppers also are festive.
And part of the bento philosophy is to present the items attractively, Samuels says. For instance, cut sandwiches into triangles and set them on end. Fill mini muffin cups with favorite shaped pastas or strawberries. Spear finger foods with fun toothpicks.
�Opening a bento box is like opening a gift,� Samuels says. �When you lift the lid, there is a big �Ooh!� factor.�
In India, lunch is all about the tiffin, a lunch box made from stackable metal containers that usually are filled, then clamped together. And Anupy Singla�s tiffins are the envy of the other kids in her children�s Chicago area school. Singla, author of the recently released Vegan Indian Cooking, may send her children off with rice and lentils, rotis and sabzi (a dry vegetable curry), or a potato-stuffed flat bread.
�Those are the things that stay fresher during the day,� she says. Vegetables like kohlrabi and daikon (Asian radish) hold up well and complement the other flavors. Sometimes lunch is packed in a tiffin, but often Singla just puts the items in a freezable lunchbox available in many stores or online.
More Indian kid favorites include papardam, lentil wafers that can be crisped in the microwave and substituted for chips, and what Singla calls �chickpea poppers,� cooked or canned chickpeas sprinkled with salt, garam masala and oil, then roasted at 325 F for 25 minutes. Salads can take on an Indian flavor by topping them with whole beans or lentils, then dressing them with oil, lemon and a little toasted cumin seed.
The good news? Many of these items are available pre-made at Indian grocers. Even Trader Joe�s carries packaged Indian meals.
The Filipino fiambrera is similar to a tiffin, says Amy Besa, author of Memories of Philippine Kitchens and co-owner of the Purple Yam restaurant in Brooklyn, N.Y. It�s simply a stacked, stainless steel container.
Vinegary chicken adobo, the Philippines� signature dish, holds wide appeal for children, Besa says, possibly because it often has a hint of soy sauce. �The most fervent people at the restaurant for chicken adobo are the children,� she says. �I have parents who say it�s the 6-year-old who�s insisting that we eat here.�
Adobo, usually a saucy dish of chicken or pork braised in vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, bay leaves and black peppercorns, is easily adapted for the lunchbox as a dry version, Besa says.
Braise the meat in the mixture, making sure to go light on the soy sauce. Remove the meat, then simmer the sauce until reduced and thick. Spoon a dollop of the thickened sauce over the meat and stick it under the broiler until it�s caramelized. Send it to school on a bed of fluffy white rice, paired with cold tomato and cucumber salad sprinkled with vinegar.
Hand pies
Nearly every culture has a savory hand pie that works as a quick and tasty lunch, says Rebecca Federman, culinary librarian at the New York Public Library and co-curator of its current exhibit, Lunch Hour NYC.
To make hand pies at home, fold a stuffing of your choice into pre-made empanada wrappers (sold frozen at most grocers), wonton skins or even refrigerated American pie crust. Or, make it even easier: pick them up at your local ethnic bakery or grocer, or even in the frozen food section of many grocers.

Can we get this as a close option?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
No we should not. The goal of SO is to be the end result of all google/bing searches for programming related questions. Just because the answer could be easily found elsewhere does not make it invalid. All this applies to SF and SU, just insert the relevant topic.
The FAQ spell out in a good amount of detail what types of questions are appropriate and specifically references "newbie" questions:
The intent is for SO to be the end result for things that can be easily (and not so easily) searched and answered. Therefore, if it hasn't been asked SO, it is perfectly acceptable and "Too Lazy to Search the Web" and "LMGTFY" (Let Me Google That For You) are not appropriate responses. If you do not want to answer simple questions, that's fine, move on. But those questions are acceptable here so long as they're programming related.
No. There's already a "Too lazy to search SO" option, properly called "Exact Duplicate".
See also:
The purpose of StackOverflow is to be a repository for as many valid programming questions that it can. Just because the answer can be found on Google doesn't mean it shouldn't get asked on SO or any of the other sites. If you think its too basic or minor to be on the site, downvote it.
At least if its asked on SO and someone whose never been to the site before before googles the same question, they'll be lead to SO. Everyone wins.
Nobody should be called "lazy" because they decided to ask on SO rather than searching the web.
If we get all questions/answers on SO, SO becomes the end-point for anybody who does decide to search the web. It becomes a source that is peer-reviewed, wiki-editable, and always up-to-date. That is leaps and bounds better than most results you'll find with a web-search.
On the podcast, Joel & Jeff have specifically stated that they want Q&A on very simple, easily Googled, things. This way, when somebody does Google it, it brings them to SO.

The Packers have so many needs they can't go wrong with either. How about drafting a RB that can actually take some pressure off Rodgers. Thompson hasn't managed to draft a decent RB in 8 drafts. He's tried too, Brandon Jackson in the 2nd round one year and Alex Green in the 3rd round. Both backs could have been had several rounds later and they've showed us why, that's for sure. The Packers could draft any position other than QB in the 1st round and fill a need.Hide replies
Success at running the ball won't come until the Packers first have a successful offensive line.
The author of the mock draft knows absolutely nothing about Green Bay's needs. On the offensive line they need an interior player, a guard center, but not in the first round. Right now they have Bulaga, Newhouse, Barclay and Sherrod. Why would they draft another top-level tackle(and pay first-round money) when they are very short depth at guard and center? They still don't know what they have in Sherrod.
On defense, the primary need is an INSIDE linebacker, to upgrade from Hawk. They also could use a safety.
The Packers primary offensive needs are at wide receiver and a stud running back. Imagine Eddie Lacy running for the Packers.Hide replies
The Packers are too high on DJ Smith, Lattimore, Terrell Manning! Why would they waste a first round pick on an ILB? And all the Tackles you mentioned are average at best except for Bulaga and we need him on the right side! What we really need is a talented RB and everyone needs more Corners! I know Ted will take a Wideout early as well. But that probably won't be with the first pick unless the best player on the board is one! GO PACKERS!!!
are you being serious when you say "the packers are too high on (smith, lattimore and manning)"?
what in the world would ever suggest they were too high on them? they haven't even proven they belong on the roster next year, much less have the team's full allegiance.
Hodag, maybe because they still don't have one. Sure, Sherrod could emerge and play well at LT, but then again he might never be the same guy he was when they drafted him. If he does pan out and they draft an OT in the first or second round, then they have good depth there which is never a bad thing. And if they choose, they could trade one of the players for another player or a draft pick. It's never bad to have more than one player at a critical position. They can address depth at guard and center in the middle or late rounds.
P.S. Shane Skov, ILB, Stanford.Hide replies
I like Skov, but you'll have to wait until next year.
I predict they will draft soft, weak, injury-prone players.Hide replies
Another uninformed comment! Since you've been stuck in a hole somewhere I'll let you in. TED THOMPSON IS THE BEST TALENT EVALUATOR IN THE NFL!!!! How can you not know that! Nothing but morons on this thread sometimes!
Glad they are following my advice. Now; SIGN Jennings and let "chips fall" relative to Sir Charles, Finley and Hawk. I promise, if we lose Jennings, next year, it will be "we really miss Jennings, as Nelson continues to get hurt".Hide replies
Jennings was hurt more than Nelson was this year...
It's quite obvious that Dane Brugler has no clue to how TT thinks! He isn't gonna spend a first round pick on an OLB when Nick Perry and Dezmond Moses will be there next season! Now DJ Fluker would be perfect to our needs! We need a really good blind side protector for Aaron! We also need an every down starting back! There's no way Mr. Brugler's prediction is ever going to happen! Why do they let these guys make these predictions when it's completely obvious how clueless they are! Don't you have to know something about the team your making the prediction about? The Packers are still very high on Nick Perry and a lot of Packer fans feel the same! He had a wrist injury! He didn't die. Where do they find these guys? GO PACKERS!!Hide replies
thompson could easily draft an OLB in the 1st round.
looks like you're focused strictly on need.
Colin, you might want to check your house before throwing stones. Ogletree would play inside in the Packer's defense. He doesn't fit as an OLB in a 3-4. He is more of a traditional OLB in a 4-3, and Brugler addresses this saying that his versatility and athletic ability would allow him to fit in the Packer's defense.
indeed. TT doesn't care about who's on the roster. its still a need anyway. among many many others.
This comment has been deleted.
no it doesn't. it means he took the best guy he thought was available and doesn't consider any position on the team set.
unless you now want to argue that depth doesn't matter and they don't need to worry about competition.
Pack have many needs---offensive line, linebacker, running back but none more glaring than a hard-hitting safety.
The number one priority in this years draft is finding players with attitude. Still very disappointed with the way the Packer defense handled the loss to SF in the playoffs. The only player to step up and face the media the next day was D. Bishop who didn't even play all year. Serious void in leadership on the defensive side of the ball. Yet, CMIII is happy to face the CBS cameras on SB Sunday, weak.
Please TT, lets build a nasty defense that can compete with the big boys. I like the young talent at cb, however the safety play was horrible this year, M. Burnett led the team in tackles, but missed way too many along the way in critical spots when it counted. We need big time safeties that are sure tacklers in run support. ILB is in need of major upgrades at both spots and should be a priority. I have no doubt that the Packers can remain competitive in the regular season, but that is only a warm-up to the real goal of winning SB's. Based on the end of season response from the brass,, it looks like the D-staff is safe and status quo is good enough.Hide replies
agreed until your last blurb.
i doubt they're satisfied with the status quo. just because they gave generalizations in a press conference and heads didn't roll, doesn't suggest at all they're satisfied.
the giants didn't even make the playoffs yet no one got fired. are they satisfied with the status quo?
i also believe burnett is better than you think.
Yeah, no way they are satisfied with how this year ended. We won't really know their conclusions until we see them draft and if they sign any FA's but you know they are doing some serious re-evaluation.
Life moves very fast in the NFL and the Packers realize that the team that faced SF was not nearly as good as the one that won the SB. Players get older and injured, grow or decline, etc. They are likely far more realistic about the players than we are. Personally, my preferences for upgrads would be safety, ILB, RB, pass rusher, D Line in that order. Yes another WR and another OL would be nice but I think the other areas have higher priority.
Give the boys at cbssports.com a blue ribbon for their assessments! I would be happy with either of these players at #26 and believe they have hit the nail on the head with their comments about the team's needs.
Once again everyone is jumping for needs to what i have seen. Packers could go to OL in the first round and also OLB. Especially with ILB being one of the weakest positions in the draft.
For what its worth we could also agree TT has his sights on a WR in the 1st round or like some anylists suggest TT shoots for a TE. Its all about the right guy falling to us and TT will make the grab. Why Mock drafts I think should not be taken to close to the heart. However they are a blast to anylize and talk about. Can't wait to see what happens.

Surely, $\mathbb{Z}_p$ and $\mathbb{Q}_p$ (and their extensions) are very important for algebra and number theory. Do they have any important applications outside of algebra (that I could easily explain to a student)? Here I do not demand the applications to be (purely) 'mathematical'; for example, I wonder whether p-adic numbers have applications to physics (outside of string theory?). Moreover, I am also interested in those applications that are partially 'algebraic', and yet important for some other parts of mathematics.
This won't qualify as something you can explain to undergraduate students, but non-archimedean dynamics has recently seen a number of applications to classical complex dynamics. (Non-archimedean is dynamics over a field with a non-archimedean absolute value, but not specifically an extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$.) I'll mention one beautiful example, which is a recent theorem of Matt Baker and Laura DeMarco. Let $$f_c(x) = x^2+c$$ be the usual quadratic polynomial, and for any starting value $a$, let $O_c(a)$ be the forward orbit of $a$ for the map $f_c$. That is, $$O_c(a) = \{a,f_c(a),f_c^2(a),f_c^3(a),...\}$$ where $f_c^n$ denotes the $n$'th iterate of $f_c$.
Theorem: Let $a$ and $b$ be complex numbers with $a^2\ne b^2$. Then $$\{c\in\mathbb{C} : O_c(a) \text{ and } O_c(b) \text{ are both finite}\}$$ is a finite set.
The proof is partly complex dynamics, partly equidistribution theorems (in both the complex and $p$-adic settings), and partly a reduction step in which one works in Berkovich space over a non-archimedean field. Note that the statement of the theorem is purely a statement about complex numbers, but the proof requires non-trivial methods from non-archimedean analysis.
The (unsolved) Hilbert-Smith conjecture states that any locally compact group acting faithfully on a manifold has to be a Lie group: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert%E2%80%93Smith_conjecture
However, it turns out that it is enough to prove this for $\mathbb{Z}_p$, and the conjecture follows proving that $\mathbb{Z}_p$ has no continuous faithful action on a manifold.
The $p$-adics come up in homotopy theory. The main reason is because of their usefulness in the theory of formal group laws.
They are also relevant in certain parts of algebraic geometry, they are (one of) the first examples of completions.
The last one is supposed to tie in the others. Of course, this is all stuff that happened after Quillen's theorem and the work of many other people, such as Mike Hopkins, Jack Morava, Haynes Miller, Doug Ravenel, and Steve Wilson.
See the survey paper "On p-adic mathematical physics", by B. Dragovich, A. Yu. Khrennikov, S. V. Kozyrev and I. V. Volovich: http://www.springerlink.com/content/j16m84014r878034/
Monsky's theorem: it is not possible to dissect a square into an odd number of triangles of equal area.
Proof of this theorem is based on 2-adic numbers.
The only proof I know uses in an essential way $p$-adic numbers (and elementary $p$-adic analysis). You can explain the statement to an undergrad or even an high-school student, and the proof to anyone having the basic notions about $p$-adic numbers.
This article contains many references,
though I don't know how many will count as "outside of string theory."
There is a journal devoted to p-adic numbers, p-adic analysis and applications: http://www.springer.com/mathematics/algebra/journal/12607
You can also google "spin glasses + p-adic numbers"
Googling "applied p-adic analysis" returns obviously interesting results.
At a somewhat speculative level, you might look at the work of Andrei Khrennikov:
In particular, his home page mentions his work on:
I am not convinced by the applications of $p$-adic numbers (or adèles) to theoretical physics, even though I am not a physicist. I think p-adic mathematical physics has so far nothing to do with real phenomena. But of course $p$-adic analysis is useful in mathematics. $p$-adic analysis has for instance natural applications in the $p$-adic Langlands program. The basic idea of that program is to replace the field $\mathbb C$ by a $p$-adic field when considering linear representations (of a $p$-adic Lie group or a Galois group).
There are obvious applications of $p$-adic numbers and adèles to analytic number theory via the (classical) Langlands program. These applications are not only algebraic, since they may for instance predict the analytic behaviour of $L$-functions.
Another interesting example is the existence of a nice locally compact topology, defined by Berkovich, on $p$-adic rigid manifolds (varieties over ${\mathbb C}_p$, the completion of the algebraic closure of ${\mathbb Q}_p$). You get in such a way varieties analogous to complex varieties. You can do very similar things like dynamics, dessins d'enfant, potential theory, integration of $1$-forms, ... The following survey articles by Ducros (for french readers) are excellent:
Géométrie analytique $p$-adique : la théorie de Berkovich, Gazette des Mathématiciens 111 (2007), 12-27.
Espaces analytiques $p$-adiques au sens de Berkovich, exposé 958 du Séminaire Bourbaki (mars 2006).
This is a very promissing theory.

CELEBRATION, Fla. – In 2010, Disney Cruise Line will offer the most diverse itineraries in the line's history – sailing Mediterranean, Northern European, Caribbean and Bahamian routes. With a wide variety of European itineraries, Disney Cruise Line is working closely with local tour operators to create family-friendly Port Adventures that allow guests to best experience these culturally rich and exotic locales.
All Port Adventures will offer impeccable Disney guest service and are designed to entertain and inspire both children and adults – in true Disney fashion. Added touches such as more scheduled breaks, complimentary snacks and beverages, and fun port journals for kids are provided on all Disney Cruise Line Port Adventures.
While every port of call will offer Port Adventures for families to enjoy together, many tours integrate separate activities for children and adults. While kids are engaged in age-appropriate activities supervised by youth counselors from the ship, parents are given the opportunity to explore cultural sites and points of interest in greater depth.
For the 2010 European season, each itinerary will include at least one tour that features distinctly Disney touches, beloved characters and rich storytelling to help bring local culture and customs to life. Itineraries also will showcase authentic cultural experiences in intimate, upscale settings during Signature Collection tours.
Some of the Port Adventures exclusive to Disney Cruise Line guests include:

Tourist visas to Taiwan have an associated "maximum stay" of 30 days. For those visas, how are the days counted? Does the stay begin on the partial day that the traveler arrives or the first full day spent in the country? Does it end on the last full day spent in the country, or the actual day the traveler departs?
Most ex-pats who are in Taiwan leave the day before visa expiration. There is a lot of back and forth within the government about what means what. While one bureau will give you one awnser another will tell you a different answer. This advice was actually repeated to me by an employee at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I have also had issues at immigration when leaving on the last day of my visa. I got through, but they had to interview me and I almost missed my flight out of Touyuan airport.
So, in general, we say leave the day before your visa expires. If you are on a 30-day visa, that is 30-days after your arrive, although it is technically valid to day 31.
The maximum stay for a 'visa-exempt' stay in Taiwan varies: it's either 30 days or 90 days, depending upon your nationality, so it is important to check which category you fall into.
In case of Taiwan, the duration of stay is counted from day after arrival. Here's the relevant excerpt from the Taiwanese Bureau of Consular Affairs:
End-of-stay in most countries is considered as the actual day a traveller leaves, so I assume it would be the same for Taiwan. There isn't much point in risking a half-day stay hoping the border control officers won't count it as overstaying.
Despite hearing several times that the counting of the days begins on the day after you arrive (your first full day) in Taiwan, I just found today that this is not true!
I actually didn't recall that this question and its answers is where I probably heard it first. But I also asked various more experienced people in Taipei and they agreed, but perhaps they were just giving a "default yes" without being certain.
I arrive in Taiwan on January 24 and departed today, February 24. Since January has 31 days, that means I had the full 30 days plus the mentioned "extra" day.
The woman at the check in desk told me I had to go to the immigration desk to deal with my having overstayed one day. I told her everybody had been assuring me that the counting begins the day after you arrive but she did not agree.
I went to the immigration desk and they agreed that by staying to my 31st day I had overstayed by one day.
But there was a surprise! Since today was a Monday they said it was actually OK for me to be leaving one day late for a completely different reason, that the previous day was a Sunday or holiday! I thought this was a bit odd since airports and airlines don't close on Sundays. She did not give me a slip of paper or anything else to prove I'd been OK'd to the woman at the check in desk. So that woman actually went with my passport to the immigration desk herself to double check. She was happy to have received the same answer I got.
But there was yet one more surprise when I went through Taiwan exit immigration. The man checking my passport also believed I had overstayed by one day. I told him that I'd been to the immigration desk and that it was even doublechecked. He doubted it and checked with his superior who assured him that I was in fact right (-:

This is related to this question.
rmmh's claim on that question was that on certain architectures, no special magic is needed to implement atomic get and set. Specifically, in this case that g_atomic_int_get(&foo) from glib gets expanded simply to (*(&foo)). I understand that this means that foo will not be in an internally consistent state. However am I also guaranteed that foo won't be cached by a given CPU or core?
Specifically, if one thread is setting foo, and another reading it (using the glib g_atomic_* functions), can I assume that the reader will see the updates to the variable made by the writer. Or is it possible for the writer to simply update the value in a register? For reference my target platform is gcc (4.1.2) on a multi-core multi-CPU X86_64 machine.

I was told 眠たい was an adjective, and that it is an exceptional case. How does it work as an adjective and what is its relation to the verb 眠る?
Sign up

Yes, 眠たい is an adjective. It's a synonym of 眠い, meaning "sleepy." (大辞泉 entry here.)
From what I can find (specifically, 大辞林's explanation), 眠たい is in fact related to 眠る, but the 「〜たい」 here is different from the desiderative "I want to" 「〜たい」. This 「〜たい」 is a shortened form of 甚{いた}い (or いたし, in its original form in older Japanese), which is a 連用形 verb ending in classical Japanese meaning "extremely X, where X is the state related to the verb." Here, this "state" is sleepiness. Note that this 甚{いた}い can attach to verbs and give them an emphatic adjectival meaning, and does not attach to adjectives.
めでたい (happy, fortunate) has a similar etymology: 愛{め}で (from the 連用形 of 愛{め}ず, the old form of 愛する) + 甚{いた}し.
Edit: Just to clarify, the original form of 眠たい was 眠{ねぶ}り甚{いた}し, but a combination of phonetic drift and other factors led it to eventually evolve into its current form.
It is an i-adjective because it conjugates as so.
Its relation to the verb
