Food trucks, city look to clarify rules WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) -- A public opinion meeting Wednesday will get the public's input on food truck regulations in the Port City. Owners hope to see some changes come from the meeting to help their business, but it might cause tension between them and restaurant owners. Food trucks are one of the biggest fads in cooking, including here in Wilmington. But truck owners are looking for a little clarity in local regulations. In Wilmington they have to apply for a permit that lets them set up in a single location for one week or two weekends in a row, then wait 45 days to apply for another. "Or you can be somewhere for an hour to two hours depending on who you're talking to and then move on," said Ed Coulbourn, owner of Poor Piggy's. "So there really is no set rules that govern food trucks operating in the City of Wilmington." Truck owners say brick-and-mortar restaurant owners have concerns about how the mobile eateries impact their business. John Hinnant with W

Take the tour × Are there any precompiler options for latexmk I can use inside my LaTeX source files? (For instance, to tell latexmk to compile using XeLaTeX instead of PDFLaTeX.) I know how to do that with the .latexmkrc file, but it would be more useful to me if I could do it within my source files. share|improve this question I think you are searching for Arara –  mhp Jul 23 '12 at 7:29 I think something like the arara parsing should be easy to add to latexmk. Send an email to the latexmk developer and suggest it, it is a useful feature. –  daleif Jul 23 '12 at 8:20 @daleif: In my opinion, the current approach, i.e. adapting the relevant rules in a local Latexmk initialization file, is cleaner and, potentially, also more secure. –  mhp Jul 23 '12 at 10:43 True, but anoying for editor users who do not understand the various syntaxes for configuring stuff. in that sense I like Emacs' concept of local variables to be set inside the document and used to configure which engine Emacs should use. –  daleif Jul

On Call: Mourning Motorola (again) Many people are upset about HP ditching WebOS, but CNET's Kent German is more distressed that a company like Motorola is bidding farewell to the cell phone. (Credit: Kent German/CNET) In case you didn't hear, last week was a busy one in the tech world. First, Google announced its intention to acquire Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion and then just three days later, HP said it was ending development for the WebOS mobile operating system and WebOS devices. Both developments left a lot of people gobsmacked, but it was the HP news that appeared to hit the hardest. Some folks were upset that they couldn't get their hands on a $99 HP TouchPad, but more saw the value of WebOS and hated to see HP cast it aside like a Milli Vanilli cassette. CNET's Bonnie Cha, an early advocate of the OS since the Palm Pre, was particularly upset. As she said in her column last week, "It was just a beautiful and sophisticated OS." No more Moto I don't like HP's decision, either, but my experie

It is essentially a production environment with audio editing and sample playback, based on the technology from the oft-overlooked VP-9000 VariPhrase Processor. It is possible to independently manipulate the pitch, time and formant of a sample, add effects and even build complete audio-based arrangements—all in a realtime environment and without CPU drain. In addition, it will emulate analogue synthesisers such as the Roland Jupiter 8.

Budget proposal is harmful By Don Stowers The Independent Petroleum Association of America rarely gets this upset about a new government policy. However, on Feb. 26, the Obama administration delivered a body blow to the industry when it proposed a colossal $30 billion tax increase (as part of the 2010 budget) on US energy producers. IPAA management and staffers were livid that the President would attempt to derail domestic oil and natural gas production at a time when the economy is in shambles and the country is importing more and more of its energy needs. So much for energy independence. There is faint hope that Congress will modify the proposed budget and remove some of the more loathsome provisions. However, any such changes would have to come in the Senate because the House leadership likely helped craft the budget proposal or at least contributed in some way to the anti-oil tax provisions. The IPAA exists to help protect the interests of independent oil and gas producers – not so-called Big Oil, bu

Tuesday, November 20, 2012 Some scientists are pushing for a sample return mission to Mars in which the robot wouldn't simply scoop up soil from the surface (though they want to do that, too) but instead have a rover enter a cave or lava tube and collect samples there.  Since the surface of Mars is constantly exposed to radiation, they argue the best place to look for life-- past or present-- would be subsurface.  Protected areas like caves or lava tubes, where rock blocks incoming radiation, might also work.  Plus, they point out, such places could preserve a history of life on Mars, as they do on Earth. Future life on Mars could also be served by such a mission, they point out.  Lava tubes could be excellent sites for the first human settlements on Mars, as they would provide both protection from radiation and a consistent, controlled environment. Of course, if Martian life already exists in such places, that could complicate or delay any human missions to the Red Planet. No comments:

'Maleficent' Is 2014's Only Non-Superhero Film to Cross $600M Mark Angelina Jolie in Disney's ''Maleficent'' Image: Disney On an average summer at the movies, you'd see a healthy mix of properties raking in some serious money. With the multitude of options one traditionally has during this time of year, records are broken left and right, and the high-water mark is usually set at a breakneck pace. Unfortunately, this summer's options haven't been as diverse as audiences would like, which has resulted in a glut of superhero films ruling the box office roost. However, there's one movie that's slowly worked its way to the top of the non-comic book heap, and it's the only movie of its type to cross $600 million this summer: Angelina Jolie's Maleficent. According to Box Office Mojo, the Disney fairy tale picture has just crossed the $600 million mark with an international gross of about $602 million. That's right, in the same summer that delivered us a young adult literature hit overnight, several sequels to rat

Being Cautiously Optimistic No links today. Just some thoughts of mine that I think are shared by many. It is looking very good for Mitt Romney. Pennsylvania shows Romney ahead, North Carolina…for Goodness sakes even NJ may be in play! I am beginning to think that people in the United States are seeing the real Barack Obama. They don’t like what they see. Americans do not carry the socialist gene in their DNA. They do not like scandals, secrecy and doubt. They do not like big government, class warfare and the idea of globalism. I have and always will love my country…it’s the people living in it that I was beginning to doubt. There are those who take advantage of living off others and have no intention of doing something to help themselves. There are those who simply don’t think about who is paying for the “free” things that they think they deserve. After all, it does not come from a box marked “free stuff”. It comes from others who have most likely worked hard for what they have. There are those who real

Churchill's jaw-jaw is needed in Lebanon As Israel and Hezbollah continue to fight, I'm unlikely to be the first or only writer to refer to Winston Churchill, who said, "To jaw- jaw is better than to war- war." Pure pacifism isn't really an option these days, but I appreciate Churchill's sentiment. If you talk first, you can almost always maintain the option to fight later; however, the more you fight the less likely any possibility of talk becomes. Just about everyone wants an immediate cease-fire in Lebanon. In fact, the only holdouts are Israel and the United States. Israel's position is understandable and reasonably justified. It's a small country, surrounded by neighbors that have been traditionally hostile to its existence. It suffered a cross-border incursion by Hezbollah, an anti-Israeli militia with thousands of rockets capable of striking Israeli cities. Israel contends, quite reasonably, that any other country would respond in the same way, even though, as it turns out, its course of action is pr

Gas suggests new problem at stricken Japan nuclear plant Japanese officials detected an ominous radioactive gas that suggests the country's nuclear nightmare isn't over REPORTING FROM SEOUL -– In the latest sign that Japan's nuclear nightmare at the stricken Fukushima Daiichi power plant is not over, officials on Wednesday detected an ominous radioactive gas that suggested possible nuclear fission at one of the reactors. Officials from the Tokyo Electric Power Co., or Tepco, acknowledged that they had detected signs of the gas xenon, which they said could be the byproduct of a nuclear reaction. As a precaution, workers injected boric acid, a substance that neutralizes nuclear fission, through the facilities cooling pipes, the utility said. The Fukushima Daiichi plant was damaged during a massive tsunami triggered by a March 11 earthquake that struck the coastal region several hundred miles northeast of Tokyo. The rushing water sent three of the plant's reactors into meltdown, touching off fires and trigg

There are a lot of big, big games out (or coming out) about now. Which is great if you're loaded with cash. But sucks if you're broke. Never mind! Not all good games have to be paid for. Take Stealth Bastard for example, a free PC game that's about light, dark, stealth and blood. Taking cues from Metal Gear, Flashback and Super Meat Boy, Stealth Bastard is a 2D platformer where sneaking is important, but so is avoiding the bloody death that awaits you on every damn screen. The game not only ships with, but with a level editor as well, so for $0.00 it's a pretty sweet deal. Stealth Bastard [Official Site]

Monday, April 11, 2011 Boalties in the News The Ninth Circuit just handed down a precedential opinion affirming the preliminary injunction against several sections of SB 1070, the Arizona Immigration Law.  Judge Richard Paez, a Boalt alumnus and Judge John T. Noonan, a long-time Boalt professor formed the majority, while Judge Bea (Stanford!!!) dissented.  The line that grabbed my attention was in Judge Noonan's concurrance: That the movement of the people of one nation into the boundaries of another nation is a matter of national security is scarcely a doubtful or debatable matter. Almost everyone is familiar with how the movement of the Angles and the Saxons into Roman Britain transformed that country. Touche.  It looks like barring a cert grant from the SCOTUS, the key parts of the AZ law are dead letter.  Anonymous Anonymous said... Judge Noonan (b. 1926) thinks the immigration example "almost everyone" will be familiar with is the colonization of England by German tribes 1500 years ago? Awesome. No

Fukushima Crisis Awakes After Reactor Heats Up Mysteriously Just when you thought it was over, the temperature at reactor number 2 at Fukushima's nuclear plant has soared 26.7 degrees Celsius in the last few hours. Worse: they don't know why the temperature is increasing after being stabilized for so long. The reactor reached 164 degrees Fahrenheit (73.3 degrees Celsius) after being stabilized at 113 degrees Fahrenheit (45 degrees Celsius) since last December. Here's the latest official update by Tepco, the owner of the plant: At this moment, temperature indicates approx. 71.0 °C (as of 11:00 am on February 6). We will monitor it continuously. The reactors were finally shut down cold after ten months of dramatic struggle by company and emergency workers. Tepco has admitted that they don't have a clue about what is going on. They have increased the amount of water pumped into the reactor ten percent, but their technicians don't know what is going on. The change was detected in one of the three thermometer

What is meta? × Looking at my own profile and the edit profile form, it isn't really clear to me which data will be publicly displayed/visible to registered users/visible to mods and which won't. When I look at users who have recently been awarded the Autobiographer badge, I can only see name, member for, seen, website, location and age. Here's a few points that could help in this matter: • On "my own profile", display a little lock symbol (e.g. this) next to entries that are only visible to me (or mods). • On the edit profile page, • make note of the use of the data put in next to the field, e.g. tell the user that the birthday will not be displayed, but used to calculate the age, the e-mail-address won't be shown and only used for certain purposes (which should be named?) • sort the fields in "public" and "private". • In the Autobiographer badge description, clarify if a field like "real name" needs to be filled in in order to get the badge. share|improve this question migrated from meta.

Health Reform: would this work? By Jim Holman of Gresham, Oregon. For 21 years, Jim worked as a hospital data analyst - most recently at OHSU. There are a number of problems health insurance in the U.S., even for those with insurance or those who can afford insurance. If you change jobs you might not be able to go to your primary physician any more if the new job has a different health plan If you’re self-employed you might not be able to purchase health insurance because it’s too expensive. If you work for a company that doesn’t offer a health benefit then you’re also out of luck. Many people with existing health problems can’t purchase private health insurance even if then can afford it. Specific health insurance reform is difficult even to talk about. Many proposals for health insurance reform are met with a charge of “socialized medicine,” an accusation which in itself can be fatal to the proposal. But “private” approaches to health insurance reform are often little more than new ways to distribute the

What kind of event is a leisurely mini-game? Just what it says. We're aiming to give teams a relaxing, fun, puzzle-filled day in the city. The idea is: solve some puzzles while traveling around San Francisco. Take your time, enjoy the day, work out your brain. What about scoring? To drive home the 'leisurely' part, there isn't going to be any scoring for this event. We want to encourage teams to enjoy themselves and their surroundings while solving puzzles; that means if you want to stop for a coffee or a bite to eat, you should! Of course, if teams want to develop some sort of scoring metric among themselves, that's totally fine. Really? So, if we want to catch a movie... Ok, be reasonable here.

Amazon Massively Inflates Its Streaming Library Size Amazon counts individual episodes, not whole series, as "TV shows," which makes its Prime streaming catalog seem 10 times bigger than it actually is. Amazon boasts that it has "more than 17,000 movies and television shows" on Amazon Prime Instant Video, its streaming service that competes with Netflix and Hulu Plus. The "17,000" figure has been widely parroted in the media, but where does the number come from? Upon closer examination, the total number of movies and TV shows available to Amazon Prime members, who pay $79 a year, is actually far lower. Only 1,745 movies are available to stream on the company's Prime service, and just roughly 150 TV series. The "17,000" figure is not only misleading to consumers, but a faulty indicator of Amazon's streaming library's strength versus competitors and traditional entertainment offerings. Amazon reached that number by counting each episode of a TV series as an individual TV show. For example, Amazon does not c

There is a pillar towards the back of the room, which is the only way out of the northern crater, but I can't climb it. No matter what I do, I cannot get Cloud to climb that pillar. I have continued through the crater a bit more right up until the point of no return (just before entering the core to fight Jenova and Sephiroth...), when the characters meet up a second time and give you some items they found. Instead of going through to the end, I went back towards the entrance, but I still cannot climb out. I have tried to use a

Does the Dow Matter? NPR's weekday newscasts air 37 times a day and usually include stock market figures. But are those numbers valuable to the average listener? "As a data bit for a civilian audience the Dow is flat out useless at best," wrote Tom DeVries from Mariposa, CA. "Of course the people who actually do know what it all means keep track minute by minute and don't need NPR to tell them." The Ombudsman regularly hears from people with similar concerns. Some wonder what exactly it means when a newscaster says "the Dow fell 10" or "jumped 25 points today." NPR gives Wall Street futures and foreign markets before Wall Street opens at 9:30 a.m. After that point, NPR reports the Dow Jones industrial average and gives closing numbers into the evening. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes also make it into the mix. The coverage is so consistent many listeners might not give it a second thought. "It's been done since the dawn of time," said Robert Garcia, executive producer of newscasts, "which for us was in th

Crazy Knife Lady Attack Jazzes Up Astor Trial Jury duty for the Brooke Astor trial is hell: since April, they've had to stare at her thieving son's face and endure testimony from Graydon Carter and Henry Kissinger. Now random subway crazies are attacking the jury, with knives. The forewoman of this jury deserves a raise: As several jurors were riding the subway together after court on Thursday, a knife-wielding woman attacked the forewoman; one of the alternate jurors came to the rescue and helped apprehend the attacker If only they were able to pimp this story out a little more, we could have a new subway hero on our hands! But as it is, it just reinforces what your civics teacher always told you: Carry a knife to jury duty, every day. [Pic via]

Dry needling Coverage decision L&I covers dry needling of trigger points. It should be billed using the trigger point injection CPT™ codes 20552 or 20553. Dry needling follows the same rules as trigger point injections in WAC 296-20-03001(14). Dry needling is considered a variant of trigger point injections, only without medications. It is a technique where needles are inserted (no medications are injected) directly into trigger point locations, as opposed to the distant points or meridians used in acupuncture.

Channels ▼ GNAT Pro 6.2 Released AdaCore has released GNAT Pro 6.2, the latest addition to its GNAT Pro Ada development environment. The new release is now available on 18 native and 28 cross platforms. It offers over 130 new features, including increased support for code coverage and source-to-object traceability, which are important for safety-critical and high- reliability application development. As a general upgrade to the underlying technology, the GNAT Pro compiler back end is now based on GCC 4.3, which brings improved code generation, and the debug engine is now based on GDB 6.8, which provides better debugger performance. Complementing these enhancements are specific features including a more efficient implementation of stack checks, overflow checks, and validity checks, and new attributes and pragmas for use with generics. GNAT Pro 6.2 also includes features for associating pre- and post-conditions with subprograms and for selectively enabling or disabling groups of assertions. Several existing

Title: Pointer Analysis, Conditional Soundness, and Proving the Absence of Errors Authors: Christopher L. Conway, Dennis Dams, Kedar S. Namjoshi, and Clark Barrett It is well known that the use of points-to information can substantially improve the accuracyof a static program analysis. Commonly used algorithms for computing points-to information are known to be sound only for memory-safe programs. Thus, it appears problematic to utilize points-to information to verify the memory safety property without giving up soundness. We show that a sound combination is possible, even if the points-to information is computed separately and only conditionally sound. This result is based on a refined statement of the soundness conditions of points-to analyses and a general mechanism for composing conditionally sound analyses.

Yahoo Weather You are here Yes, you can trust the poor After the Spanish Civil War, an Indiana farmer by the name of Dan West volunteered his time as a relief worker, feeding hungry orphans and refugees. He decided from his experience in the field that what the people really needed was “a cow, not a cup” so they could feed themselves rather than depend upon temporary aid. From that simple observation sprang Heifer International, which today collects money to obtain milk cows, deliver milk cows and teach people how to take care of milk cows. I fear I am oversimplifying the work of Heifer International, so for more go to But this is the basic model for helping the poor. Now comes a radical idea that challenges a traditional model: Instead of creating all of the infrastructure to deliver goods and services to the poor, why not simply give the poor money and let them buy what they need themselves? That’s what GiveDirectly does. It’s based on the idea that the poor know what they need. Trusted with the ch

Harddrive is only 150GB. It'll be used for some internet stuff, some gaming and at times at work running UG-NX. If you'd be doing any upgrades, what would you do? I've never upgraded a laptop after I've received it and am not quite sure what would be reasonably easy and affordable. Could I just buy a faster processor and swap it out? Guess adding some memory would be nice but I assume it's got 2x2GB and to get to 8 I'd have to replace both sticks with 2 x 4GB and I'm not sure if I really need it. Also, it came with XP and the Vista upgrade, both the 32bit versions. I wouldn't mind getting the 64Bit Vista version. Would Dell be willing to replace the 32bit Vista version with the 64bit?

Act 1: The Googler who cried snake Sunday April 1st, NYooglers (a word for New York Googlers I can't convince anyone else to use) receive an email about a python. I assume it's either Guido van Rossum talking about his programming language, or, because it's April Fool's, something like Gmail Paper or PigeonRank. Boy, am I surprised when I see the following message: "Over the weekend, a pet snake belonging to a Googler escaped from its cage. The snake is a 3-foot long, brown-and-grey, ball python named Kaiser. Ball pythons are non-venomous and are commonly kept as pets. Tempting as it might be, this is not an April Fool's joke! We are sending this message to alert you to the situation and to let you know what to do in the event that you see the snake." Act 2: A community unites Monday morning in the office, we react.

Use the One-Coin Problem to Keep From Slacking on Your Goals Making excuses for ourselves can be a slippery slope. Buying something small that's outside of your budget or cheating on your diet can quickly get out of hand. However, Gretchen Rubin of The Happiness Project has a tip that'll help you keep things in perspective. The one-coin problem asks if an almost negligible amount of progress—a single coin—can make you rich. It argues that it's all a matter of where you place your focus: that seeming small lapse or the growing heap that often isn't apparent until much later. The one-coin problem captures a paradox that's familiar to all of us: when we consider our actions, often it's true that any one instance of an action is almost meaningless, yet at the same time, a sum of those actions is very meaningful. Whether we focus on the single coin, or the growing heap, will shape our behavior. Whether you're dieting, implementing a fitness program, or trying to save money, it's common knowledge that little th

Saturday, March 17, 2012 Airlines Must Explain Basis of Fuel Surcharges When the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) imposed new requirements on airlines and online travel agency (OTA) advertising and disclosure, one overlooked aspect was the "fuel surcharge: component of the cost of the international airline ticket. For the longest time, airlines could simply announce increases in fuel surcharges that are not part of the base fare while still advertising the base fare cost. The DOT now mandates that airlines not only disclose clearly to the public what these fuel surcharges are, but airlines must identify some reasonable baseline of that has to demonstrate a methodology of how the surcharges were calculated. It also brings back a point repeated frequently in this blog: that airlines attribute increases in fuel surcharges to rising fuel costs, but they either do not react promptly when fuel costs decline, or they simply ignore it.

Operating Systems Touring The Chernobyl Nuclear Accident Site In 2010 Published on 7 April 2010 Written by Michael Larabel Page 2 of 9 - 85 Comments Testing of this nuclear safety feature in April of 1986 turned into this deadly disaster as established procedures were not followed and in the minutes leading up to the accident, emergency warnings were ignored and mistakes were made. There also proved to be several flaws within the design of the Soviet RBMK nuclear reactor and in its construction. In the early hours on the 26th of April, the experiment of testing the steam turbines to produce electricity for the reactor's water pumps began while the diesel generators began ramping up their electricity production. Where the test went wrong was when the water flow rate dropped due to the turbines losing momentum, steam voids formed within the nuclear core that caused the water coo

Friend or Foe An investigation into the pitfalls and rewards of 21st century friendships. Being A Friend To Your Daughter Could Be Toxic Can you be a mother and a BFF with your daughter? While writing my book on the trials and tribulations of female friendship that came out last fall, several women spoke of the importance of setting an example for their daughters when it came to female bonds. For instance, if you, as the mother, are a jealous friend, a misery lover, or a user, then you are teaching your daughter what not to do. If you are a sharer, a mirroring friend, or the authentic friend, then there is solace and safety in your friendships and your daughter does well to consider you as her model. Either way, few of us can deny that female friendships are complicated for women of all ages. Certainly mothers and daughters alike strive to have healthy friendships among their peers, despite the obstacles. But what about another scenario, one in which mothers and daughters prefer to be in a friendship rat

San Antonio Travel and living guide Haunted Railroad Crossing - Ghost Tracks South San Antonio Ghost Tracks The haunted railroad crossing lies on San Antonio's southeast side at the corner of Shane and Villamain just outside of Loop 410. Ghost hunters from all over come to San Antonio just to see the legendary haunted crossing. The ghost crossing is easy to find and if you get lost, just ask somebody on the southeast side of town. I'm sure they'll all know the location of the haunted railroad crossing, better known as the ghost tracks. Ghost Tracks Story In the 1940's, a bus load of school children were on their way home when the bus stalled on the tracks while going over the railroad crossing. A train speeding down the tracks crashed into the bus killing all the children and the driver. The streets in the neighborhood adjacent the haunted tracks bear the names of the children killed in the crash and during Halloween, cars line up for a creepy push over the ghost tracks.

Police in California arrested a 64-year-old man suspected of cooking meth at his retirement home community. Robert Short was pulled over as part of a routine traffic stop in Fresno when officers found meth in his vehicle, Fresno TV station KFSN reported. Police searched Short's apartment at the California League-Fresno Village, where they found a half-pound of meth, heroin and materials for a meth lab. Officers also found scales and baggies in his car for selling meth, the Fresno Bee reported. Neighbors at the retirement community said they didn't know Short, and that he largely kept to himself. Short had been on supervised release for previous drug sales.

Wednesday, October 06, 2010 People must know they have power October 6, 2010 By A. Gaffar Peang-Meth The Khmer blog KI-Media recently has been publishing in sections Gene Sharp's "From Dictatorship to Democracy: A Conceptual Framework for Liberation," by the Albert Einstein Institution, that provides significant guidelines to "assist thought and planning" in the fight against dictatorship. Sharp hopes his study on "how a dictatorship can be disintegrated" would be useful "wherever people live under domination and desire to be free." Sharp presupposes people who live under a dictatorship can distinguish between a dictatorship and a democracy, and there are those with a "desire to be free." Enormous work and effort are required from fractious democrats and rights activists who fight powerful ruling tyrants. In Cambodia, deeply rooted old habits and thoughts stand opposite imaginative, creative and innovative thinking.

Dropping Out to Learn Exclusive to STR When I entered high school, I realized that the only way to 'succeed' in class was to follow teachers like dogs follow their masters. Not in the sense of doing as well as I could, but to do better than the next person. The intense competitiveness and regimentation brought me to question the efficiency of conventional schooling, and the effect it was having on me. Towards the end of high school, I found myself slipping away from class and struggling to stay focused. I took time off from school and started to nourish my own interests. I would read, study, challenge and question. No sense of competition, no strain or relative ranking. At school, however, I became a 'behavioural problem' and according to my teachers, 'needed to be disciplined.' It starts in kindergarten: the school system tries to repress independence and teach obedience. Kids are not induced to challenge or to question, but the contrary. If you do start questioning, you're a behavioural problem or some

The Masculine Nouns In many German language textbooks, students are told that they must simply memorize the gender of each noun. That's not very efficient, and that's certainly not what German speakers do. As they grow up with their language, German- speaking children hear the patterns of words that require a certain gender and gradually conform to them. Along the way, they memorize the exceptions. Identifying the patterns is very helpful in determining gender, and it reduces the need for a great deal of memorization. There are some broad rules for determining which gender a noun is, and it should be admitted from the start that in many cases there will be exceptions to the rules. But the rules are helpful guideposts for making intelligent choices when using der, die, or das. Here are four basic categories of masculine nouns. (There are more than just four, but these are a good starting point.) Many—but not all!—words that end in –er –el, or –en tend to be masculine. In addition, cognates that refer to men

We're all gonna die! Life on Earth has only 1.75 billion years left Scientists have done the math, and according to their calculations, life on Earth has 1.75 to 3.25 billion years left to thrive. And that's if a giant asteroid or a nuclear war doesn't finish us off first. Yes, there is a big difference between 1.75 billion and 3.25 billion years, but predicting the end of life on our planet it is not an exact science, at least not yet. To arrive at that 1.5-billion-year doomsday spread, graduate student Andrew Rushby of the University of East Anglia in Britain created two slightly different equations that estimate the length of time Earth will remain in the "habitable zone" around the sun. A planet is considered to be in the habitable zone when liquid water can exist on its surface. If Earth was too close to the sun, high temperatures would cause our oceans to evaporate; too far away, and we'd be an icy wasteland. Earth is firmly in the habitable zone of our sun right now (obviously - we're all here!)

A Non-Manipulable Meeting Scheduling System Eithan Ephrati, Gilad Zlotkin, and Jeffrey S. Rosenschein In this paper we present three scheduling mechanisms that are manipulation-proof for closed systems. The amount of information that each user must encode in the mechanism increases with the complexity of the mechanism. On the other hand, the more complex the mechanism is, the more it maintains the privacy of the users. The first mechanism is a centralized, calendar-oriented one. It is the least computationally complex of the three, but does not maintain user privacy. The second is a distributed meeting- oriented mechanism that maintains user privacy, but at the cost of greater computational complexity. The third mechanism, while being the most complex, maintains user privacy (for the most part) and allows users to have the greatest influence on the resulting schedule.

Demoted official says IMPD made him a scapegoat - 13 WTHR Indianapolis Demoted official says IMPD made him a scapegoat Darryl Pierce Darryl Pierce Sandra Chapman/13 Investigates Indianapolis - A former high-ranking official with the Indianapolis Metro Police Department says the City of Indianapolis made him a scapegoat in the deadly crash involving Officer David Bisard. Former Assistant Police Chief Darryl Pierce says he was unfairly demoted, and he's willing to challenge the city in court. "I'm doing this for the fact that they've hurt my family, they've hurt my friends, they've hurt the department," Pierce told 13 Investigates. Hurt and humiliated, the former assistant police chief sat down with 13 Investigates to talk about his demotion weeks after Officer David Bisard crashed into a group of motorcyclists.

Hat's off to Gary Andersen Wisconsin long-snapper Connor Udelhoven may have received the best prize ever for incorrectly answering a trivia question. During a team meeting on Tuesday, coach Gary Andersen asked his players various questions with a bucket hat on the line. But, for Udelhoven, there was more than an ugly hat at stake. Asked how many walk-ons had been converted to scholarship players during the new coaching staff’s reign, the redshirt sophomore answered “six.” Turns out the correct answer was eight ... but it’s now nine. And that was how Udelhoven discovered he had been awarded a scholarship for the upcoming school year. AWWWWWWWW alert! Well played, Coach Andersen. Well played.

Unidentified subject! I'm with Cyn on the foodie thing. I love food, but luckily I love steamed veges and nice breads, or a Thai hot and sour (clear) soup, or cheeseless pizza, or (last night) a fantastic fajita (blackbeans adn capsicum, sprouts, salad, hot salsa!). I eat out alot, and believe me, New Zealand is far less oriented to fat-free or low fat than the States is. We can't get low fat cheeses here or baked potato chips, or much in the way of egg substitutes. And there is no fast food places that are lf at all. McDonalds for example (which I think is gross anyway) is other places has lower fat choices. Not so here.

Medical Design Technology Product Releases High-Efficiency Motor Design Reduces Motor Temperature Rise Tue, 05/25/2010 - 7:08am High-Efficiency Motor Design Reduces Motor Temperature RiseThe PKE high torque, high efficiency stepping motors can be driven at continuous duty cycles. They are designed to provide maximum torque while creating efficiencies currently not available in the stepper motor market. Through the use of new technology in the form of new materials, advanced stator and rotor design, and construction methods, these motors produce 1.2 to 1.5 times more torque than a conventional stepping motor while significantly reducing the power loss common in stepping motors. Key benefits of the higher efficiency are lower heat generation (78%) by the motor, constant duty operation, and up to 40% less power consumption.

Zappos gets hacked, plus a new constitution for social networks Lori Andrews' new book has a pretty alarming title: "I Know Who You Are and I Saw What You Did: Social Networks and the Death of Privacy." It explores the ways social networks are being used for purposes that are anything but friendly. Twenty- four million accounts at Zappos.com have been hacked, according to notifications sent out to customers. According to the online shoe retailer, which is owned by Amazon.com, no credit card information was stolen, instead it was personal data like names, addresses, phone numbers, and emails, as well as the last four digits of a credit card number (traditionally used for verification). While 24 million compromised accounts doesn't rank the Zappos attack all that high in terms of history's biggest hacks, it's pretty alarming if you're one of those 24 million getting that email.  So what do you do now? Look in your inbox for scams. "Phishing is the attempt to pretend to lure you - like for fish-  except they'r

Surrender of Charles I (141 words) Short Note This is a short note At the beginning of 1645, King Charles I and Parliament had made an attempt to negotiate an end to the First Civil War, via the Treaty of Uxbridge. However, neither side was prepared to compromise sufficiently, in part because both felt they had a good chance of winning the war. What Charles did not know at the time, however, was the strength of the New Model Army, which was just being formed on the order of Parliament in winter 1645. Over the following year, they won a series of decisive battles, and, in alliance with the Scottish Covenanters, eventually forced the King into defeat. He surrendered at Newark on 5th May 1646. However, on secret terms negotiated by an envoy from Cardinal Mazarin, made sure he surrendered to the … Related Groups 1. English Civil War

Press Release  | 11/30/2006 US Prison, Parole and Probation Population Skyrockets; 1 in 32 Adults Incarcerated or Court Supervised, Department of Justice Report Shows Drug Offenses Account for Prison Population Boom Incarcerating Nonviolent Drug Offenders Wastes Billions of Dollars; Destroys Lives A record 7 million people - 1 in 32 American adults - were behind bars, probation or parole by the end of last year, according to a report released today by the Justice Department. Drug law violations play a disproportionate role. From 1995 to 2003, inmates in federal prison for drug law violations accounted for a 49 percent increase in prison population growth. "I think these numbers just don't register with most Americans," said Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, the nation's leading organization promoting alternatives to the war on drugs. "They only make sense when you point out that the United States has five percent of the world's population and 25 percent of the world's inca

Bay Health Update: Promises Unkept If you hadn’t heard that the Chesapeake Bay restoration was failing, last week provided one of those a-ha! moments when things become painfully clear. At a gathering of Bay state political leaders down in Richmond, Gov. Robert Ehrlich and his counterparts acknowledged that their plan for a federal rescue of the Chesapeake had fallen by the wayside. Ehrlich blamed shifting priorities in Washington. Meanwhile, in testimony in Washington that drew little attention, the Government Accountability Office delivered a withering assessment of the federal Chesapeake Bay Program, which is housed within the Environmental Protection Agency. Speaking in front of a House Appropriations subcommittee, GAO natural resources director Anu Mittal recalled some of the sad facts of an earlier GAO investigation: • The federal government has a slew of measures (more than 100) to assess trends but no means to integrate them in a way that tells us whether we’re making progress; • The annual S

Bears vs. Redskins: Five things to take away from the 45-41 win Decrease Increase Text size (WJLA) - If ever there were a "must win" for the Washington Redskins this season, the team came through. Brian Orakpo's first career interception got retured for a touchdown. Photo: Associated Press Washington pulled off a dramatic 45-41 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, keeping pace in what's quickly becoming a very mediocre NFC East. The win was paced by Roy Helu Jr.'s three touchdowns and a pick-six by Brian Orakpo. Here are five observations from Sunday's win, courtesy of Tim Brant: 1) Reed Doughty suffered a concussion in the win over the Bears and Brandon Merriweather may be suspended because of multiple launching and illegal hits, even though he shouldn't be. 2) The Redskins defense had perhaps its best half of the season against the Bears. In the first half, the Redskins played with confidence; they were disciplined, with solid technique and a well thought out gameplan. Washington was aggressive

ContactEditorial Manifesto by Chris Hull on Friday 24th Jun 2011 Mr T makes space boots look good. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to combine the likes of Metroid Fusion, BioShock, F.E.A.R. and Dead Space, Chillingo could possibly provide what you're looking for. D.A.R.K. is set in the ship the USS Storm Bringer, a ship that has lost communication with the Earth. A group of D.A.R.K. Squadron Marines have been sent to investigate the ship. It doesn't take long to realise that something is very wrong. The ship looks almost derelict, there are hordes of creatures scattered all over the place, as well as corpses of crew members splattered everywhere. The game begins with a few cinematic sequences, which set the atmosphere of the ship. From the outside, it may just look like any other spaceship that you've seen in Star Wars or Star Trek, but you get the feeling early on that the ship is almost meant to feel alive once you're inside. There is a small horror element, with occasional freaky moments

Take the 2-minute tour × I have one small online sale business but I want to make it scalable at limited expense and so am looking out at various services which can help me make my business scalable. I was looking into Amazon Web Services and it seems to be a viable option. Are there any other ways for adding scalability to small online businesses ? share|improve this question add comment 4 Answers up vote 0 down vote accepted Scalability has to be well thought out. You should make sure your current architecture is designed to scale. Just adding more hardware is not a good solution. If you think your current implementation performs well and you do not need to tune it to respond faster or handle more traffic, then moving it to the cloud is a good idea so that adding more hardware is easy. If thats not the case, then you should concentrate on things like DB tuning, caching (maybe use memcached and akamai) and performance optimization before you start thinking about porting it to some other technology.

I Am Right. Why Did Scattershot Go Dark? Dear Scattershot, Are you going to continue your blog? Long Time Fan Dear Long Time Fan, I know, you miss me, right?  As I suppose you can imagine, it takes (took?) a lot of work, time and energy to keep Scattershot going. The constant pressure (that I put on myself!) to keep this balloon inflated ultimately got to me. But I think what really led to my hiatus was that it became so disheartening to constantly see the same stupid shit going down day after day after day.  Healthy doses of snark and invective can only carry you so far before a depressing thought starts to kick in:  None of this shit is ever going to change.

How Much Does an ACL Replacement Cost? One of the most common knee injuries people suffer is a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament).  This ligament is one of the major four ligaments located in the knee that connects the bones of the knee together.  When the ACL is injured or torn, there are many options to fixing it, and surgery is not always the best option.  Consult your doctor to see what is best for you individually. Knee replacement surgery cost: United States $40,000 to $65,000 $15,000 to $24,000 $9,000 to $15,000 $6,000 to $11,000 $5,000 to $10,000 Costa Rica $8,000 to $12,000 $12,000 to $17,000 What is going to be included?

State Attorneys General to FDA: What Were You Thinking When You Approved Powerful New Painkiller? | Fri Dec. 13, 2013 12:28 PM EST Last month, Mother Jones reported that the Food and Drug Administration had approved a powerful new painkiller called Zohydro over the objections of its advisory board, which voted 11-2 against approving the drug. Now Attorneys General from 28 states (and the US territory of Guam) have asked the FDA to reconsider its approval of Zohydro. In a letter to the agency, the AGs raise many of the same concerns that the advisory panel did, noting that the drug lacks adequate safeguards to prevent it from being abused and could exacerbate America's epidemic of painkiller deaths. Here's an excerpt from the AGs letter, which was dated December 10: State Attorneys General do not want a repeat of the recent past when potent prescription painkilling drugs entered the market without abuse-deterrent qualities and without clear guidance on how they were to be prescribed. This created an environ

Enter multiple symbols separated by commas Detroit bankruptcy deal would limit pension cuts A tentative agreement between the city of Detroit and its largest union would limit pension cuts to 4.5 percent instead of the 27 percent cuts proposed in the bankrupt city's reorganization plan. The city and American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Council 25, which represents the city's non-uniformed employees, announced the settlement late Friday. If ratified by the union's rank-and-file and approved by the state, the deal would clear a major hurdle in the largest municipal bankruptcy case in U.S. history. It would also set a major precedent for struggling cities seeking to reduce their pension obligations in the face of stiff union opposition. Nonetheless, the agreement "presents the best possible outcome under uniquely difficult circumstances," the union said in a letter to members, obtained by CNBC, urging them to vote yes. "A 'no' vote risks much worse outcomes for our active and

Take the tour × Let $S$ be the set of real numbers $x$ such that there exist infinitely many (reduced) rational numbers $p/q$ such that $$\left\vert x-\frac{p}{q}\right\vert <\frac{1}{q^8}.$$ I would like to prove that $\mathbb{R}\setminus S$ is a meagre set (i.e. union of countably many nowhere dense sets). I have no idea about how to prove this, as I barely visualise the problem in my mind. I guess that the exponent $8$ is not just a random number, as it seems to me that with lower exponents (perhaps $2$?) the inequality holds for infinitely many rationals for every $x\in\mathbb{R}$. Could you help me with that? share|improve this question add comment 1 Answer The idea is to transform the quantifiers into unions/intersections. For example, let $T$ be the same as $S$ but dropping the infinitely many assumption. Consider $A_{\frac p q}=(-\frac 1 {q^8}+\frac p q, \frac p q +\frac 1{q^8})$ then $T=\bigcup_{\frac p q\in\mathbb Q}A_{\frac p q}$. Thus, $T$ is a countable union of open sets ($\mathbb Q$ is c

Sabattus man gets firm rebuke for racist threat Death threats of any kind should be taken seriously, whether they are against the president of the United States or the neighbor next door. Such statements assume a particularly sinister character when accompanied by an obviously racist slur. That's what happened Tuesday when a Sabattus resident pronounced "Shoot the Ni----" on his Facebook page atop a photo of President Barack Obama. By mid-afternoon, David Marsters had been interviewed by the Secret Service, which then searched his home and talked to his wife and neighbors. Within hours, Marsters' statement had been decisively denounced by Sabattus Town Manager Andrew Gilmore. "I need to clearly state that I am deeply concerned, appalled and, frankly, dumbfounded as to why he or anyone would declare such a thing, let alone print it for the world to see," Gilmore said. "In three words, this statement incites violence to the level of murder, advocates for the assassination of a United States president and

No kids, no kidding By Sarah Lang It takes guts to admit you don’t want to have children. Especially when people’s response is that you’re selfish, or you’ll grow old and lonely. Married and childfree, writer Sarah Lang looks at the pressure to procreate Photo / Thinkstock Photo / Thinkstock Recently, a friend shared the image above on Facebook. "Exactly! That's exactly what people say!" I thought, clicking "like" then "share", feeling partly grateful to whoever had the nerve to post it, and partly uneasy in case it offended any of my Facebook friends who have kids. For reasons I don't want to get into, I don't plan to procreate. However, now that I'm 33 and married, the once-occasional questions about having children have become increasingly common. What exasperates me is that they come not from my family and close friends, who'll support me either way, but from the people with the least right to poke their noses into my business: acquaintances, friends of friends, family friends, work contacts, neighbo

1988 Olympic Fencing and Gymnastics Arenas Seoul, Korea 1988 Architects: Space Group of Korea (Gymnastics); Dong Myeong Architects and Planners (Fencing) Roof Structural Engineers: Geiger Associates Listen to the Introduction The 1988 Gymnastics and Fencing Arenas were the first structures to realize R. Buckminster Fuller's "tensegrity" systems at building scale. The evolution of this new structural type began in 1949, when Kenneth Snelson, working as a student of Fuller's, developed a series of sculptures comprised of continuous wires separated by discontinuous struts. Fuller realized that if this concept was applied to structures, that "the compression struts [would] become small islands in a sea of tension," which in turn would drastically reduce the amount of material required to build them. Fuller, who had worked for years to emphemeralize buildings, transformed Snelson's sculptural idea into a "tensile integrity" or "tensegrity" structural system for domes and other longspan roofs, which he patented

Take the tour × While going from a given Lagrangian to Hamiltonian for a fermionic field, we use the following formula. $$ H = \Sigma_{i} \pi_i \dot{\phi_i} - L$$ where $\pi_i = \dfrac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{\phi_i}} $ In a Lagrangian involving fermionic fields given by, $$ L = \dfrac{1}{2}(\bar{\psi_i} \dot{\psi_j} - \dot{\bar{\psi_i}} \psi_j)$$ a direct computation gives $\pi_{\psi_j} = -\dfrac{1}{2}\bar{\psi_i}$ and $\pi_{\bar{\psi_i}} = -\dfrac{1}{2}\psi_j$. But on adding a total derivative $\dfrac{1}{2} \dfrac{d}{dt} (\bar{\psi_i} \psi_j)$ to the Lagrangian (which can always be done as the action won't change) but $\pi$'s become different. So the Hamiltonian as well changes. How do we resolve the issue ? share|improve this question add comment 2 Answers up vote 4 down vote accepted The canonical momenta don't change if you add a total derivative to the Lagrangian.
